Good Morning!!
How's dinner last nite?
Marnie
Sigh, tats life. Reason y I started this preschool thingy with my partner is to stay within the 9am - 5pm/7pm working hours and spend more time with kiddies. My previous job requires me to be outstationed very often and as it is hubby's overseas schedule is also as often as mine. Once upon a time, we will only meet each other physically only 3 - 4 days in a year. sigh...

I suppose I would get used to it .. except Ah Boy sounded quite disappointed on the phone when I told him that I was out to dinner with my family since he didn't reply to any of my sms during the day. What to do ... I was hungry!! But we all ended up waiting for him cos he rushed right over.

Ally, we didn't make it to dinner in the end as I had to queue up to get into court. Only got into chambers at about 5.15 or so. *sigh*
We should go out soon for dinner yes?
Perhaps after Cuclainne has tied the knot and will be Mrs Ah Boy...
Your work schedule then is terrible - imagine seeing your hubby for that amount of time in a year! Gosh!
Chin, thanks girl. We'll go out again soon yes? And remind me to bring my old old mags for you, k?
Cuclainne, aiyah..men always like that. But nevermind lah..wait for him. Sayang what...

Harlow girlssss! How are you doing?
Wah so many posts, so much to read... So how's your wedding prep? Someone's gettimg married issit? Me blur lah.. is it Lilies? Congrats!
If I'm not mistaken, Cuclainne, you have settled down at your new place, right? Wow, it must feel so wonderful, yah! I think you are going to have your wedding soon, rite? Getting panick attacks or not? I'm already going 'siao', though I still have about 6mths to go..(without me realising!) Seems tt there are a gazillion things to do. Does anyone have any checklist on wedding guide/prep? The ones enclosed in bridal magazines are not useful, coz the timeframe for the plannings are kinda unrealistic.
Hi Nur, how was your trip? Found any interesting stuff for your wedding? Didnt see your posts lehh.. MIA like me issit? Haha..
Hi Marnie
Nice wedding announcer site! So sweet too. From your Meraj's precise description, I could just imagine how his proposal went.. and how you felt. Very touching!

Hey Sandra, time flies.....I'm left wih 3 months to do and suddenly all these small little details begin to crop up.
I used Martha Stewart's checklist as a guideline but went with "what needs to be done first". So far so good lah.
Ally, I cannot imagine Meraj and I having that kind of life. We agreed that only one of us will have that kind of career at any one time. OR else, we'll suffer.

Ya la .. sayang to death!! Lol.
Ally
Wah .. I kowtow to you ... I don't know how I would handle being in a situation like that.
Sandra
Yes, I've settled at my new place .. slowly getting the apartment to look like home .. aiyah, only several more days to go before the wedding and we haven't even gotten the rings yet! Yikes! One thing at a time - then everything sort of fall in together.

Well, we can always rely on the ring tab of the canned drinks if it comes to that, I suppose. We're not getting custom-made rings .. those takes 2-3 months to make. We liked one design at Goldheart, and some other designs at SK and another place. We'll have to make the decision by today though cos it'll take them 3 days to get the rings to us. Hehehehe ...

And read report in ST that HDB resale prices going to go up this year and worse got two fengshui experts yesterday predicted that Dog Year means property prices will go up. What only!! aiyah.. so scared it will be announced when they roll out the Budget soon.. ok enuf whining!

Cuclainne, I've got discount cards for Lee Hwa, Goldheart and Citigems, if you're interested. Not applicable for wedding bands though, I think - need to check on that one. Let me know if you need them. They've all got 20% discount.
Nur, thanks sweetie - of course you can leave a note or two on our webbie! Would love to hear from you.

Relaks only on the outside ... but really feeling butterflies right now. Too late to get rid of Ah Boy now!!! Lol. Just kidding!
Ally
Can la - it's the thought that counts la. Hehehe.
Hui Chin
Just a few more days .. the solemnisation event is this coming Saturday.
Marnie
Thanks. It's a toss-up between the wedding bands at Goldheart or Citigems. Aiyoh!! So difficult because Ah Boy SOOOOO picky!!!

Cuclainne, checked with my usual jeweller at Goldheart, yes to the discount card for Goldheart - it's 20% off. You may want to look for Candy Ng at Suntec City branch - can psycho her a bit to get you the ring resized faster.
Can't use discount card for bands at Lee Hwa. normal jewellery yes.
Citigems card can be used to purchase wedding bands and any other regular priced jewellery at 20% off.

Thanks so much for lending me the cards! We finally purchased our wedding bands at Citigems and they'll be ready for collection on Friday. I told the service staff that they'd better be because we're getting married on Saturday .. cutting it a bit too close eh?
Ah Boy's mommy will be arriving this afternoon .. must admit that i'm a bit nervous about seeing her again .. after all, she's going to be my mother-in-law come Saturday. Lol.
When should I pass you back the cards?

Cuclainne, oooh - yeay!!! Finally - phew! you suddenly don't feel so "burdened" right with the worry about the ring...
Eh......so have you practised calling her "mom-in-law" yet? *giggles*
Um, do you want to return me this week or next? Seeing how you are getting married on Saturday, are you sure you have time to meet me this week though? Plus you have entertaining to do now that Ah Boy's mom will be in town.

Yes, it's a load off my mind.
Hahahaha .. actually I don't think I would call her 'Mom' at all. I've been calling her Eva all the time so I think I would probably be sticking to that. She was a bit nervous at the thought of meeting my parents .. lol.
I can return it to you this week. It won't be a problem la .. just not today or tomorrow. Perhaps Friday??

Cuclainne, I would think Friday would be your busiest day what with it being your last day still being a bachalorette and all!
Okie dokes, think Friday would be safe. Where should I meet you?
Oh....googled and trawled Ebay and have finally found those Simpsons D'oh cufflinks!! Got them for hantaran for my dear darling...hehehhehehe. My makcik and pakcik sure roll their eyes.

Cuclainne, if you want to come by my office at Capital Tower (Tanjong Pagar MRT) around my lunch time at 1pm can. Or else evening will be about 6.30. Let me know whether to meet you at Somerset (nearer to your home mah)...Either way also can.
Oh, before I forget, there's something wrong with my phone so I can't view any SMSes or make any calls other than pressing them manually. I can receive calls though so in case you need to get in touch with me, calling me would be the best bet.
Oooh! Let me know how your mehndi session go - you are having it done tomorrow right?

Hey Cuclainne, my phone is working. I'm using an old old Nokia and suddenly not used to the way it works. I miss my Sony Ericsson.
Anyways, can sms me tomorrow...Ooooh.....it just dawned on me that I get to see your mehndi!
Oooh girls, my old Sony Ericsson went kapoot - LCD screen busted so I need to go shop for another one. Hinted to Meraj to get me a brand new one for one of the hantaran! Don't know whether he's pretending to be clueless about that though!
