Wedding Dinner

Accomplished much during this period!
Bought more furniture and appliances, met ID to discuss carpentry works and more, ordered more fixtures, met wedding co-ordinator to discuss the theme, table settings and colours, choice of flowers and wedding cake and so on...
Realised that i have not really focussed on the wedding dinner details.
Ok, here are some pictures on the theme for the nite. 90% similar...could hopefully only be better...hee..






















Oh and btw, we have received the wedding invitation cards, so hopefully, we should be sending out them to u soon, otherwise, if we all do mt, i'll give u the "red bomb" personally...sigh, we would really like to personalise those cards for u, but we might have little time and resources, so please pardon us for not doing more. 'Cuz we have to fold the cards and inserts, tie the ribbons, write your names, and place the cards into the envelopes ourselves.

We have also engaged a wedding band that nite! And the song list is out! Mind u, i have listened to hundred over wedding songs over and over again, for 80-90 times over the last few months!!
How?
1. On the train
2. on the bus
3. at home
4. reading the lyrics of some songs to determine if they are appropriate
5. watching some music videos
6. bought some cds with jazz songs, oldies, classic love songs
7. sieved through the Singapore Brides Forum to find songs
8. brainstorming with DD
9. browsing at cd shops
etc
etc
etc...
only to bring u the best selection, of what we perceived as the best, i hope as well!

Oh, i mean "song list" as in the songs that the singers will perform, background music (when they are not performing), cocktail music, 1st dish music, march-in songs, and music for toasting, cutting the cake, even songs for the montage! I have shortlisted a total of 80+ songs!
DD said i'm crazy, yes i think i might have overdone it. To think that i have quipped at him for not contributing much to the song selection..haha. But i really want to make sure that everything, every little detail (that i try not to miss) will turn out good, if not fine. And i have got to know so many singers and wedding songs in much a short time! If i have the chance to release a compilation album on wedding songs, i think i may do it well..hee..oh, and if anyone of u need some information on any wedding matters in future, i can lend u all my resources!! =p

Will be attending the food tasting session this Sat, and oso the Mid-Autumn festival!! So stay tune, as I shall bring u the confirmed menu soon after...
Meanwhile, happy romantic Mid-Autumn festival!

十五的月亮, 照在家乡照在天边.
宁静的夜晚, 你也思念, 我也思念...

Inspiration for our new house thru' a song...

一所大房子
有很大的落地窗户
阳光洒在地板上
也温暖了我的被子

一所大房子
有几个? 有三个房间
一个房间是我们的bedroom
一个房间有walk-in wardrobe
个房间有我漂亮的衣服
个房间有我喜欢的study table
一个房间一个房间
我也不知道该放些什么

Guess it yet?
歌曲: 完美的一天
歌手: 孙燕姿
改编: Hazel (是我们新家的完美写照)
嘻嘻...

Halfway thru Renovations - part1

It's been a mth since we last met Blogger! Was really really busy with teeny weeny little details on renovations and wedding preps, not forgetting the overweight workload nowadays! All the annual events at work popped up at the same time, what wrong timing it is..haha.

Didn't give me much chance to be indulged in my day-dreams of my wedding and new house. Didn't give me much chance to be brainwashed with CHANGE MANAGEMENT.

Let's just talk about the latest updates first.

Yesterday, after a 3-hr long session to decide/discuss on colours for walls and doors, electrical points, and other small details, ID Darren brought us to buy curtains! We finalised our lights and ordered them as well. So for fittings and fixtures, we have bought everything except for the built-in oven.

*Side-tracking...the problem with buying a resale flat and renovating for the whole house means that every little detail needs to be taken care of, taps, basins, toilet bowls, bathroom accessories, heaters, hood and hob, switches, electrical points..u basically start from scratch with the whole unit with just walls. Even the walls are "processed"!

Anyway, here's a picture of what our guest room would be like.














i love the wall colour! and i read from papers recently that this colour is in! Love the lights too, but they aren't going to be for real...boo~

Some of our lights...
