im tired of saying this so often, but im really sorry for neglecting my blog..
its now august, and its another 2 months to my rom, and 3 months to my customary. was surprised that time passes so quickly, and we got tons of things to do!!!
we have yet to have the discussion between the 2 families (planned to do it last week but dear's mom got into that awful incident), we have yet to start computing our guestlists, and we dun even know which friends to invite to our wedding!
we have also yet to finalise on our decorations, yet to confirm which catering to order from for our rom.
we are trying to find some companies that do good and reasonably priced photo/video montage. our photo studio is charging at $450 for it, and is not offering us any discounts as they say its the best price! :\ unless dear strike first prize today.... until then, anyone got any recommendations? our budget is about $300-$350.. i tried to diy, but im not good at all these lah!!! :(
ok, for some updates on the things we have accomplished:
first off, i finally finished my pre wedding photoshoot. the locations we went to are tian fu gong, marina barrage and punggol end. rightfully it's considered as 2 locations as long as its not within walkable distance, even if they are near to each other. but the photographer doesnt mind as he took us to a different place with nicer lalang and beach, which is different from where we have recce.
the photos can all be found in my fb. but pls be aware that those photos are taken by roger, zhenyi and kel. the photos from studio's photographer are not out yet.
it was so tiring, especially i din get an early rest prior the shoot. good thing that the photographer was so funny and humourous, we enjoyed the whole shoot despite dear and i were dead beat!
he never fail to make us laugh or smile the way he thinks best. when we thought we were done for that particular view, he stopped us while we were in the midst of walking back, coz he thinks its very natural and it will look good.
unlike many other photographers who dun like ppl to take photo while he's trying to capture the moments, he was very confident of his techniques, and commented to my friends that feel free to take our photos, since it wont turn out half as good as his does!
a little arrogant, but all of us agreed! he even help zhenyi to make the correct setting on lingjian's semipro camera! not only that, when we wrapped up the whole shoot at the end of the day, he took the initiative to go to the canal leading to the sea and take the water for us to wash our dirty feet! thumbs up for his service!
second, dear's mom is fine and is now recuperating at home. she looks much better now, and frankly speaking, she looks back to normal, except that she is sleeping much earlier, afraid of reading the papers (as most of the articles has got violence), and she is afraid of taking the lift alone.
in any ways, we're all glad that she's safe and is recovering fast.
third, we've been looking around for wedding rings (yeah i know, we should have bought it ages ago). have shortlisted a couple, but the one that i really like costs about 3k!!!!!!!!
we have set aside a budget for our rings, and with the extras, we will buy a tv and put inside our new room. hopefully my uncle will be able to get us more discounts on the rings!
fourth, with the help from lingjian, we decided to repaint our room (dear's sister's room, but she has moved out so she asks us to take her room until our new house arrives), and to see how we can position our bed and all.
so dear, me, lingjian started painting in the afternoon, and zhenyi and roger came over to help in the evening. we finished painting and touching up at about 8pm, had our dinner and start cleaning up the room until 11pm. dear still continue to touch up (he's a perfectionist) and clean the room the next few days. and now, our new room has a new look!
as the bed is somewhat next to the door, we decided to have some velcro string curtains or those satin curtains to hang around the entrance, so that ppl cant see us sleeping clearly when someone opens the door.
we can find string curtains though, but we duno if we can diy it with velcro.. anyone got any ideas?

dear's mom was stabbed at genting due to a robbery.
her valuable items and money wasnt robbed, i guess that woman who was trying to rob her (yes it's a bloody woman!), got scared when she stabbed her, and just nice the lift door open, and dear's mom's neighbour's son saw, and that bitch run away.
they managed to catch a suspect, not sure if its that bitch though.
dear's mom is currently in cardiac icu coz her heartbeat is irregular, but she is conscious. dear's family wanted to transfer her back to sg hospital, but they say she is not suitable for travel now, as she has got tubes and her lungs has got air. his sis have checked, and assured them that that hospital is a very good hospital, with the best doctors and equipments.
what a thing to happen..
i guess that woman got desperate after losing all her money at genting.. but still, there's no need for a robbery right!!
dear and i came across a woman in the casino, who asked us for some money, coz she lost all her money and she need some money for a bus ride home..
i mean u can do that right, dun have to rob someone!
curse that bitch!!
