{{{{{Ally))))) You need me to poke toothpicks so you stay awake at the AGM??
Aye yeah......wish you were with us. We had soo much fun!! I was a glutton as usual. Cuclainne, Huichin and Raf (and me of course!) had desserts - YIPPE for us. I think Zierella and Nur were full already --> bad bad girls for not having desserts....
Raf brought her fiance....he's soo cheeky...slowly warming up to our nonsense towards the end of the day....
Thanks Girls for a fun evening! Next time we go again, leave the boys at home okie? Not fun with them lah.....spoiler only..especially when it comes to dessert. Bleh.

Marnie,
i dun think toothpicks could manage to keep me awake juz now. A jolt of current would work. As usual lah..my dad n uncles babbling away about why we (the 2nd generation) not wanting to help out in the family biz. Basically its nag..nag..n more nagging. MEN when time they nag..its like worse than us girls lah!

Yeah lah Cuclainne. Next time, we leave the boys at home lah....long lost buddies also not like that ler....
If he asked if we can get a place near yours, I'd be really afraid....for me and you!
Girls, I'm still considering whether I want to be super kiasu and pick up my PS photos at lunch....got no time to pick up after work this whole week. Bleh....
Ally, aye...I agree...when the men nag...I tune myself out.....especially elderly men. Terrible me right?

Hi Girls, sorry but it's going to be a bit longer until I have the pictures up. Going to be so busy this whole week....bleh...i figure I have till end next week to load it up before I give the CDs to the photographer to have a couple of them converted to black and white.
So how's everyone's V day?
We had a simple meal at home. Meraj got me my favourite gerberas. He just got them and wrapped it up himself. Nothing busy. Just the way I like them.

Zierella
Sorry dear, I was a bit busy at work and then left immediately to meet my Abang for dinner. I hope you managed to look at the photos at home.
Ally
Hope you'll enjoy the dinner..
Marnie
I took a cab to Ah Boy's office but our friend went to the MRT station to wait for me. While I was waiting for him (and secretly fuming!), he managed to snuck up on me and had a huge bouquet of flowers with him. Of course I wore a stupid grin on my face and the meal at the Middle Eastern place was wonderful! It is a very good evening for us ...
I just realised tha Ah Boy likes carnations cos all his bouquets to me consists of such. I asked if he missed his mommy (hahahahah!) but he said that he just like full blooms.
That is so sweet of Meraj - i would have loved for Ah Boy to cook at home but I get very grouchy when I get hungry and it would have been late if I waited for him to come home first.

Hello Ladies!
Sounds like everyone had a good vday. I had dinner, drinks and the mandatory shopping with a few gd frens from sec sch....we celebrate our friendship on this day every year. No flowers for me today but I had a free rein choosing my Vday gift since Mr Feroz said he'll pay for anything i bought today..I was a happy shopper!
It's good to finally put a face to all the nicknames....and to think one of u is my sec sch mate....small sg. I agree with Zierella....Friday or Saturday wld be better. No need to worry about the time aite?
Marnie
I can't wait to see your photos! So exciting! and yes..my selengeh monday..so bimbotic hor? Hehe....Feroz can be even more cheeky than that...watch out the next time u meet him. He might just out talk everyone. Hehe.
Cuclainne
Can email me the link or photos too? I wanna see too...please....
You're not the only one thinking about the food...I wanna have more waffles and ice cream!

Raf, I'm sure Feroz is more than cheeky on that day....Like you say lah...shy what..Size up everyone first...then he will chit chat more...Good good...
Eh....both Cuclainne and Raf have it lucky. Meraj never gives me shopping money per se. Sometimes, I just put on a pathetic look and then he'll pay for me...
But never give me straight cold hard cash leh...Must get Meraj to get tips from both your men lah..
Okay Girls, another uber busy day today....Catch up with you girls later...!

Shopping!!!! I loike!
Saw your photos....very nice! Your henna turned out so nice..so red. Like what all the makcik2 say, the darker the henna stain means the more he loves you. So you know ur abang loves you lots!
Marnie
Hehe....true what Cuclainne said. Money can be replaced.....but not the love Meraj showers on you.
Paying for my shopping is just Feroz's way of making up to me since he refuses to be part of the highly commercialised day.

Cuclainne

Alamak ... your words make me go
My mother used to say that I should marry someone who loves me more, because that would mean that he will treat me good. So it's good that it's come true for me yah ...
Aiyah .. he's the lucky one, to get me! Hahahahahahha!

Marnie,
367? sooo many.. sacrifice 2, make a calendar with the 365. Hmm, once you've had ur pick, does ur deal allow you to hav digital version of the ones that didn't make the cut? I also wanna see your pics.
anyway tt day in the cab, huichin and I encountered a really ya-ya cabbie. He butted into our light conversation on school and was unstoppable. His son very smart in RI so he's saying they are doing things rite there and everywhere else salah, tchrs are doing things wrong. sorry, digressing but that apek really teruklah. After marriage, janganlah jadi that type of parent. pfft.. while ally heard pakcik2 nagging at agm, this apek torturing us!

Nur, I get everything: contact sheets and negatives. I'm putting the album together myself so I'm getting them to do choice pictures in black and white.
Aye..I can imagine how irritated Chin and you must be. I would get annoyed. Usually, in these cases, I'd pretend I want to make a call. That would shut them up.
Anyway Girls, here are a couple of pictures I want to include (not the best but still tell "our" story" and the more "soft" ones.....(got goosebumps leh)

Hahahaha ... well, it is a good picture!
It's my mom's birthday tomorrow - do you have any suggestions where I can take her out to dinner at? I would like to bring her out for seafood but it's quite expensive yah .. plus not many halal joints to choose from .. sigh ..

Marnie,
Sooooo sweet ur pictures. I like the last pic. Add a tinge of drama/humour in your wedding album.
Cuclainne,
I agree with you on the halal seafood joints..difficult to find a good one also. Abit off from the seafood topic..mayb u wan to try meditteranean food instead? I 've been to one in arab street..food is great and the ambience is faboulous also.

Cuclainne, yeah yeah....I agree with Ally, the range of food along Bussorah Street is mind boggling. Sure got something to eat there.....can't help you much with seagood cos' my mom's not a seafood lover - allergies...hmmm..poor mama.
Ally, oh thank you sweetie...everyone seems to love that picture most (--> maybe due to the fact that it's light and funny and just screams us!
). We love that picture too. We have a series of those pictures so I'm dreaming of something to incorporate those series of photos...
Ally, oh thank you sweetie...everyone seems to love that picture most (--> maybe due to the fact that it's light and funny and just screams us!
Cuclainne,
There is this website where you can scout for halal restaurants. Check it out.

Zierella, the shimmery thingee is actually the shawl thingee that comes with the indian outfit. It acts as a layer between us and the photographer....

Chin, thank you.....Last night, Meraj and I were experimenting with photoshop elements and trying to see whether certain pictures looked good in black & whites and sepia....(initially I thought cos' of the outdoor locations, black & white may not work too well) so we know now what pictures to have them converted. We're sending the CDs back to the photographer's assistant to have them converted.
I'm still trying to think through a concept. I need your help!

I love your photos! So uber chic!!!
Have any of you gone down to the wedding expo thing? I checked it out yesterday and i've fallen in love with a few dais i saw....namely from Shad & Ky, Anggun Andaman and Wedding Sutera. So nice lah.......but soooooooo expensive.....

Raf, I was tempted to go down but...seeing how we've settled on everything major re. the wedding, I know I'll get a big "lecture" if I suggest to Meraj to pop to Expo...
I also like the dais from the 3 of them.....but really very expensive.....so opted easy way out and get everything all with the caterer...one less coordination to think about.
You're too sweet dearie.....I am still in the middle of the sorting out the photos I want for conversion but all is coming around nicely.
Chin, I just remembered that I am not in a rush to do the album concept before the wedding cos' I'm displaying the photos hanging ala the museum.....so I will "disturb" you for brainstorming ideas after the wedding okie? Thanks so much dear!

Hi gals,
I just came back from the wedding expo...and WOW like what Raf said, there are so many nice wedding dais decor!!! It's amazing!
Anyways I quarelled with OCC (fortunately they were good at appeasing me) and was so pissed off that I raised my voice and a few people turned and stared at us!
Apparently OCC had a 5+5% discount (which will amount to a lot cos of the no of guests i have) plus other freebies like free one nite stay at their resort, free lunch for 6 people etc etc for those who sign up at their expo.
So obviously i felt cheated cos i was 'forced' to sign my contract two weeks ago as they informed me that they are increasing the price by $1 per person. I was so pissed off i confronted the manager and they gave me some crap about the fact that the discount wasnt finalized until a week ago!! And i told them, "Cut the crap! I'm in the marketing line and its IMPOSSIBLE that you only THINK about the promotion mechanics for your exhibition (which is usually planned months ahead of time) a week before the show!!! I said i dont care how much discount you decided to give, but certainly there WILL be discounts or perks offered for exhibitions!!!" He was so stunned he kept quiet and then reassured me they will talk to the mgt for me...bla bla bla
30 mins later i came back to the booth cos my wedding planner wasnt there earlier, so i complained about it AGAIN, and she called the head manager (the manager i spoke to earlier reports to him) and explained my problem. All he said was simple,"yeah, im sure there shouldnt be a prob cos it was just 2 weeks ago that you signed, and we will draft a new contract with the discount for you" Luckily he handled this so well, im now happy and relieved! Man, sometimes if you dont make noise, this people will just pretend to be ignorant!!! I'm saving like $2K plus with this discount, so imagine that! If i didnt go to the expo, i wouldnt have known about this!
Hehe I also signed up with Bridal Concept for their indoor and outdoor photography! It was kinda great at $1388 with loads of freebies, so im a contented customer heheh!
Oh and I just bought the latest Motorola Razr V3i!!! hehheh its a bdae gift from my beloved fiancee and he just sent money over! I bargained quite a bit on the phone (abt $100) so now i can do a bit of shopping with the leftover plus the exchange rate gain! Yippeee!!!
Well today is indeed satisfying, and im sure i can sleep with a sound mind tonite...

Zierella, aye.....I hear you - it's frustrating when they just try to con us into believing how marketing works. Like as if we're dumb bimbos or something. Even if we're not in marketing, we know things don't happen in just a week espcially for an organisation like OCC. Grrr......makes me angry with wedding vendors how they think they can get away with things just cos' it's "once in a lifetime"...
Oh Ally, we've decided not to get Pandan Valley. It's not wired and we'd have to spend a fortune doing the entire wiring and cabling up. *sigh* We don't want to rush into getting a private property in Singapore so we've decided to get a flat instead and then get a decent townhouse or something when I follow Meraj to Australia in a few years or so - I think that works out better. What with our 2.5 family then or something...Heheh
So Sandra & Nur, any tips to give me for getting a flat? Now my turn to go to you girls for tips and advice...

Ah..Marnie,
thot so..cos Pandan Valley is about as old as I am (i think). Good path to choose indeed. When we were house hunting back then..we decided on getting a flat also..and then venture overseas for our retirement home. Now, 8 yrs later, we have 2 properties in our hand (not including the 4 rm flat). S'pore definitely not a place for retirement for us!

Ally, thanks for the vote of confidence. We're looking at a 4-room flat. meraj hasn't got CPF so I'll be paying through mine for the bulk:Meraj will pay part of it in cash.
Not intending to sell the flat when we migrate so we hope to be able to rent it out just in case, you know. At least I can come home if something happens there. *knock on wood*
