Open House!

That's my cute hubby-to-be, together with his mama, his uncle and auntie at our house this morn for our first visit, officially as home owners.

.

His mum prepared some offering items and after praying, we started our checking of the house. Very tedious, etc checking for rusty hinges, missing screws, hairline cracks, leaking pipes and the ultimate one - checking for hollow tiles! Tt's so tedious, knocking 5 times per tile over hundred times~ we threw in the towel after a while and strategised that we shd rope his dad in tmr when we go down again coz he is more pro den us =P

.

dunnoe whether the pics of praying are considered sensitive so i decided not to put up. But similar to the procedures which i listed the other time lah :)

.

I am efficient today! finished what i am supposed to do.. so tmr can go out in a carefree mood - ID searching!

.

But i have a lect on mon and i haven't open my golden mouth for about 3 mths.. i scared i tongue tight! roarRRR~

Ending Term 1 Week 2...

Made my way down with bear's colleagues to Yueli's house this evening for gathering/ house warming. Very nice bunch of people to hang out with =) Just 2 years ago, i have never thought that these acquaintances (with the Sci department from my practicum school) will blossom into deeper friendships! \(^-^)/

Had a great time exploring her condo and listening to lots of golden advices from newly weds & mama(s)-to-be. Look at our Ah Dang fan-club keke~

[Miffy's tots] Marriage and settling down is indeed one's most significant milestone in life! And here is my turn tsk tsk~ Cant wait to start the new chapter in SBW, yet cant bear to leave the AMK house..

Instructions for Open House 'Ceremony'

Here are some tips for a 旺旺house passed down frm Shuxin:

2. Turn key of door, Knock for 3 times before opening
3. Open but don’t go in yet.
4. Splash in some mixture of rice and salt
5. Row in pineapple to centre of rm if possible. At the same time, say ‘旺’!
6. Row in 4 oranges to corners of rm if possible in clockwise direction. At the same time, say ‘huat’ each time!
7. Enter the house.
8. Open all windows. Can on little flow of tap for just a while.
9. Throw red packets (prob 10 cents inside) & sweets at every corner of house n rms. Can sprinkle some rice and salt too.
10. Bring in an electric kettle (if there is electricity already) and boil water.
11. Put oranges, apples, pineapple, Huat kuey in centre of living rm. (Leave stuffs in house for > 3 days then remove)
12. Pray pray: beside all these fruits, burn 土地公’s paper, charm, joss stick. Rem to bring a metal container or something to contain.
13. Say “ 我们是这里的新主人，住sembawang， 第____ 座，门牌_______ 。今天正式开门。”
14. Burn FU, charm in cup, add water, (if you want, can sip a little), Use the ‘leaves’ to sprinkle the water from inner most part of house to outside. Wash/ dap face. Pour water on floor / drain outside. Do not step.

Venue and bling bling how how???

Okiez.. dear has just confirmed that Grand Copthorne Waterfront has tentatively booked the Galleria Ballroom for us on 30th Nov.

Hmm does it mean tt we are gg to sign it soon?? looks like it.. coz we have sorta alr stopped our hotel shopping after some nil responses from daoz hotels & kinda lazy & its really very tiring.. coz its impossible to fix an appt w hotels within the vicinity and end up we have to travel down City Hall like 3 times 3 consecutive days =S

hmmz we definitely have not shop enough.. but at the moment this seems relatively the best (price, perks, ambience) yupz.. read lots reviews.. of coz there are both +ve and -ve comments, but whether u believe them, its up to ur own discretion too..

and yes, i am someone who is capricious (hmm is tt the right word to use???) fickle-minded hee.. haiz.. still the issue: after the fuss to get an auspicious date and we aren't gg to use it.. duhz..

howhowhow??? pout. anywayz dun block ur calendar yet.. will confirm again when finalised okie.. but maybe u all can plan a post-party @ Zouk after our dinn wink~

did some girly surfing online on wedding bands.. here are some of which i like :) i always like to wear simple ring.. coz i think it makes ur fingers look very yiu xiu (giggle) esp when u are typing (muahaha) but i think to get a ring for myself is so silly... so have to wait patiently... yeah!! got big rock but also dun dare to wear to sch coz scared will get scratches.. so have to wait for the one thing tt i am gg to wear for a lifetime :) oh no.. i sound like a bimbo.. bleahz

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale..

Ah!!! I am a Volans Couture bride!!! 06.01.08 (Sunday)!

Ah!!! we are proud owners of Sbw house!!! 07.01.08 (Monday)!

Ah!!! I am suffering from compulsive excitement disorder!!!

Taking a kit-kat break to spread my excitement to U :)

.

Back to work (so tt i can catch my beauty zzz @ 11pm sharp!!) and more updates to come!!

2 more major confirmation from hotel & Interior Designer!!!

tata~

Unexpected Surprise!

A trip down hotel searching w/o expectations can be filled with surprises too!

Yupz, so this is what happened when me and bear went down Grand Copthorne Waterfront this afternoon to check out the place. We already know that 7th Dec wont be available + the location is not very accessible so I was carrying the ‘just-go-see-look-loh’ kinda feeling when we were heading our way down. I was more interested in eating the Crystal jade egg tart when we go back Great World after our meeting ops =P

Nonetheless, we were very impressed with the professionalism of the lady who served us. It was kinda love at first sight of the ballroom.

Oh well, just look @ the pics, coincidently the ballroom was set up for a wedding dinner for this weekend and we were so lucky to have a first hand preview of the layout:


The area outside and inside are both very spacious (I should say for a small ballroom), the deco looks very nice hor, making the ambience very pleasant and romantic, okie in short, very comfortable and cosy feeling that we both have. =D (I also realized 10 tables can also have themes de.. not like what other hotels insist no-nos.. hmpf? Yeah??) So this is only one of the many themes that I can choose from!

And this is the outdoor solemnization pavilion by the S’pore River that the wedding coordinator proposed which is like $700 for maybe 15minutes?? Hmmz is it worth the moment… (erhm.. yyessss, for me..) alternatively we can just hold it right after the march in. quite standard loh, which i am also okie.. =)

Other than that the prices are within budget and the perks are attractive! Only catch is the date: 15th Nov or 28 Dec (our auspicious days). Wha!!!

15/11 (Sat)
- (-) Super haggard/stressed after term ends immediately (esp if I kena PW, 99.9% possibility, roarRRR)
- (-) Very packed and rush for both of us
- (+) A longer holiday and move in earlier into our nesty
- (+) Good attendance of guests

28/12 (Sun)
- (-) Abit bored having to wait for the entire hoLs for the BIG day
- (+) Ample time to prettify myself
- (-) Shorter honeymoon OR no honeymoon at all???!!! Coz school’s gg start pretty soon, 3-day leave may not be sufficient
- (+) Good attendance of guests, depends tho..

We have tentatively booked the ballroom for 28th Dec with the lady at 8+pm, and she just replied! Keke~ so we have bout 2 weeks to confirm coz she actually extended last year’s package to us (wahaha coz I emailed her on 30th Dec!!! heng ah.. pat pat miffy) Meanwhile I guess we will just shop for about another 3 more hotels, if not cya at Grand Copthorne Waterfront on 28th Dec ba! Winkz~

Btw, we can go down to HDB for collection of keys next Mon!! Yippie!! But gonna start paying misc fees, etc? hmm.. so we might ask for rescheduling of the appointment. Hoho, so exciting!

Its 11 o'clock le!! late late! better go zzz le.. more wayangs to do tmr =( nitez.. ciaoz
