Feel really stressed lah, it’s like ? less than 3 weeks away to our big day?!
I have to really buck up liao! My task is to come up with photos and songs for our montage! If only I can stay awake the whole night! Oh my piggy head!! I wanna have some medicine to stop my pigginess! Hahaha, red bull maybe?
We have finished 10 pages of our scrapbook and met our initial target! *applause* *clap clap* Now I can’t wait for saturday to come, so I can go to buy our clear acrylic album! Hahaha, fell in love when we first saw it in Laine’s papertierie, hope it’s still in stock! I am really proud of all our pages! I think they all look fantastic and creative for amateurs like us! Heehee, we will definitely post them up page by page when we done our ROM and finished our honeymoon…promise k!
We have finalized our photoshoot album design, picture to use for our big portrait, as well as the 8R photos for the display on our tables!
A lot of appointments to attend for us…haha, like suddenly we became the VIPs, with our busy schedule!
This sunday we are going to collect Darling’s ROM gown! Then we will have to fix a date to meet Melanie at Shangri-la from the 16 Jan onwards. We have fixed to go on 24th Jan to collect our photo album and photos from JB, and we have to go ROM building on 26th Jan to collect our ROM documents. Whoa, that’s the celebrity life for u!
We are even planning to go around to have photoshoots of the places that matter during our whole ROM preparations, such as Fairies Inc, somerset shop where Darling bought her wedding shoe, picture of my tailor’s shop, JB starbucks, just to name a few.
Everything is so exciting yet very stressed. Hope darling is not too stressed by it all and decide to give it all up! NO DON”T DARLING! DAR DAR is here to shoulder the burden!
I have to start the montage liao, my next week’s resolution, shall go week by week planning. Lucky we have our honeymoon in Bali all planned before hand…at least we can look forward to the plunge pool under the starry night sky next to the natural valley and river at our backyard. We can laze around in the pool or lie on our chairs, listening to the insects, wind and river gushing, smelling the natural scent of the valley and forest..AHHH life is meant to be enjoyed!
Pardon me for not updating as much, but be rest assured… … after our ROM, we will have tonnes of posts! Haha stay tuned!

Time flies… … It’s Happie Anniversary again! Kekeke. 18 Nov 09 was our 3 years 8 months anniversary and we spent it in luxury! =)
We went to meet Melanie regarding our estimated guest numbers and we have to make a number of decisions! Oh my, we increased our original plan of 30 pax to 50-60 pax! Our friends rulez!~
What we had to do… …
1) chose our invitation cards designs;
2) the inlays colour;
3) fonts for our wordings in the cards;
4) table linen;
5) seat cover;
6) lunch tables setup;
7) flowers and colours;
8) KIV wedding favours
That was quite a handful…but making those decisions makes it all the more exciting coz the date is drawing near! We want a march in as well…hmm…still undecided between marching in from the Koi pond/man made garden before our ROM proper, or walking into waterfall terrace after ROM proper… ..most likely going to choose the former. =p
We had a most scrumptious buffet dinner at The Line, kindly sponsored by my darling… heehee…will tell you why at the end of the post…

Outstanding issues to settle within these 2 months before our ROM!
1) scrapbook (have not started working on it yet, but I am sure with Dar Dar and Darling powers combined, we are Captain Scrapbook!)
2) wedding montage (heeheehee, I have been lazy I admit)
3) wedding song list
4) Darling’s ROM gown (going to look at the 99% finished product this sunday, will request minor alterations)
5) Darling’s shoes (soon-to-be ready for collection)
6) Dar Dar’s suit, shirt, pants (ready on 25 Dec 09)
7) choosing our pre-ROM shots from Venus, JB (going JB on 21 Nov to choose our photos! Can’t wait to see how beautiful my darling looks!)
8) wedding bands (they will be ready on 7 Dec 09, so exciting!!)
9) Honeymoon (going to email the Bali Villa the credit card details soon)
10) Meeting Mr Jude Yeo AKA Uncle Jude, as Darling will address him (mid December)
11) confirmation of guests, sending of wedding invites, choosing of Emcees at a later date in Dec/Jan

Now…why did Darling have to sponsor our anniversary dinner? Because she forgot my handphone number! Hahaha. =p

PS: Message me more, my dear, so you will never forget!
PPS: I still love you my dear =x

PPPS: Darling was playing with the sliding glass door sensors and making the glass doors open and close when nobody is walking through! Hahaha, and she truly enjoyed it…and I will enjoy it too coz I caught it all on video!

PPPPS: I love my darling! She’s so cute!

The lost paradise Shangri-la

The search for a ROM venue is truly an adventure in itself. I have never emailed so many different poeple and talked to so many different people outside my job context before. It’s been a wonderful experience I must say =)

We looked through several packages offered by hotels, cafes, pubs, restaurants and done our fair bit of exploring in Rochester park. We met up with restaurants, marketing officers and gone a few free drinks of water.

We initially wanted to hold our ceremony in Flutes@fort canning but unfortuately the restaurant is closed on our selected date. That was really an unfortunate event and we were a little disappointed with it, and I was really cursing at my damn bad luck.

Alas, I decided to try my luck at luxury hotels! And I came across this gem of Shangri-la hotel. We met up with the marketing officer a few times, recee the place twice and we fell in love with it. The waterfall, the koi pond, the setup, the reception room, were just gorgeous. We have to do our ROM here. And of course there is this fresh factor as none of our friends had done their ROM at Shangri-la hotel before. We wanted to be first!

Take a look at the pics…isn’t the place chio?
