Our Love Nest Progress 4

As of 29th May 2011, my block is halfway through with level 11. The last time I updated on April 19 it was starting on level 8. 3.5 floors in 6 weeks. Forumers are saying that the building is slowing down, I think its because they are starting on the interior thats why.

My Wants: Canon EOS 600D

Another item on my wishlist - Canon EOS 600D

I have been wanting to get a DSLR since 2 years back. And ever since I joined my current company, that want have been getting stronger. No thanks to a professional photographer and camera enthusiast in my department. He would bring is Pro $5K DSLR to our outings and I would get to take some photos with it. The quality and feel of the photos are totally different from those using a point and shoot camera!!

This model that I am lemming for is one of the latest semi-pro cameras from Canon and it has a swivel screen and can also take HD videos. And from advices from my pro photographer friend, I am getting this model with the kit II where the EFS18-135IS lens is included. No point paying a few hundred dollars later when this lens can cover the range of the kit I. Gonna wait for the coming IT show in June and checkout what promo they'll be offering..

Post Wedding

I have not forgotten you, my dear readers.. The wedding is finally over and I've been back at work since last friday. Have been procrastinating in updating cause I've got truckloads to update on and I have no idea where to begin. 

Give me a few more days to get back my mojo and I will update soon on the frantic rush to get things done a few days before the wedding to the day itself and our mini mini-honeymoon to USS followed by a nights stay at Siloso Beach Resort kindly sponsored by 2 of my SILs. Soo many things to blog about and soo little time.. Will be getting my AD photos on Mon so my AD post will have lots of photos accompanying it!! 

Till my next post..

Eventful 过大礼

We did out 过大礼 and 安床 on Sat. It was a super tiring and eventful day for us. 

Woke up bright and early to prepare the 嫁妆 and wait for J's arrival. He said he will be late so dad went to pick up sis from her night shift. Who knew that before dad came back J would arrive with his aunt and sis bearing the 聘金 and the cakes. And that dad would go and vote before coming back. We went ahead with the exchange without my dad but he managed to come back in the middle of the exchange. I forgot to take pictures of the 聘金 and 嫁妆 before the exchange. Only remembered to take pictures after we 安床-ed, which we did ourselves. Was perspiring like mad after we 安床. The weather on Sat was mad crazy hot!! I hope it will not be so hot this coming Sat but I also do not want it to rain.. Haha .. This bridezilla so demanding.

Our new bed installed with the 嫁妆 and the items needed for 安床

    What I was told to put in the potty: A pair of chopsticks, an angbao and a pair of clogs (I put in 2 cos they came together)

All in the potty waiting to be wrapped

Headed over to my grandma's place to pray to our ancestors to let them know that I will be getting married. Kana lectured for some things that I had no control over by my aunt in front of a relative whom I have not met for donkey years.. I knew where she was coming from but I was an innocent party and I did not appreciate her lecturing me for something that I was innocent of in front of someone else. My mood was spoilt the whole day after. Mum had my aunties and uncles over for hotpot in the aftn to collect their cakes and also to gather together instead of them coming over the night before the wedding. I did not really enjoy myself because of what happened earlier. Still had to put on a happy face to have dinner with my MIL for mother's day dinner in the evening. Sometimes I really dun understand how come a happy occasion can create so many problems..


I will not be posting so frequently over the next 2 weeks.. Will be back to blog after my wedding .. Hopefully with photos of the day.. 

Single Digit Countdown ..

.. Starts now ..

9 more days till my big day.. I'm beginning to feel the excitement buildup such that I have been experiencing sleepless nights for the past week. I'll be running the lists of things that I have gotta do at the back of my mind while lying on my bed and before I know it, it'll be time to wake up for work. I'm am finally feeling the stress of the wedding preparations and my acnes are coming back. Been trying masks, nixoderms and whatnots to try to get them to subside. Hopefully it'll be gone by next sat. Keeping my fingers crossed..
