Happy Birthday my Pal, Kelly

Today is my pal Kelly's 26th birthday.. and today is also her 1st year wedding anniversary with Rod.. Last year, i was her jiemei cum emcee.. Last year Dec when i got married to Wentong, both of them were our emcees.. this year, she not just have her hubby to celebrate, but also the foetus in her body to celebrate with them..

We had known each other when we were in Sec1.. we were in Normal Academic stream, so we were in the same class for 5 years. we were in History class.. together, we had Jas, Gladys n Joreen in the same 5 years class. bcoz of this school, we got to know our hubby, who were just our seniors then.

Kelly & I had no quarrels. for wat i remembered, we only had 1 disagreement, just tat 1, n from then, no more.. she knows my character, so she knew wat kind of method works on me....

When she got married with Rod, i was really happy for her. i know Rod will treat her well n love her wholeheartedly. When we announced tat we were getting married too,they also gave us their best wishes. I still remembered, Bong proposed to me on the eve of their wedding.. Now, she is pregnant with her Prince.. Promoted to mummy in 1 year's time. She is really happily married to the man in her life.

Though we seldom meet as usual like b4, but our friendship still stands firmly.. n it will always be so strong n steady.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my pal!!

Renovation updates

SBC Design started work on 6th March... today i went up with hubby again,to take a look at how much has been done in these 2 days...

I think completion of the work shld b quite fast.. mayb it's really within 1 month as wat Victor said..

Yesterday morn when i went up,they had started doing the base for the kitchen, washing machine n the fridge.. yesterday morn, CityGas was oso here to help install the gas pipes.. I asked Victor to oversee for us as both of us need to work. They had the L box placed in the house, but not yet installed.

Today noon,when we were there, the L box was already fixed onto the ceiling... we need to change the wire of the TV point to the other side,tats y they need to pull the wires all the way opposite. If they dun put a L box on the ceiling,then we can see the wire box very clearly.. Also good lah,with the L box at the ceiling,somehow won't make the ceiling so plain.. i told hubby i want a darker colour to paint on the L box.. it will be much of a contrast n will enhance the colour. We'll b installing 8 small lights ard the L box, so the wires will all be hidden inside this L box, together with the TV wires..

Every few days, we will make our way up there to take a look.. just now met up with Victor again later at ard 4.45pm.. to pass him the 40% deposit... Kelly n Rod were with us, so also bring them up to take a look.. Victor was supposed to meet the other contractor who will b doing the kitchen cabinet, so he waited for us at the new house.. I'm looking forward to more updates of the renov progress!!!

Our Honeymoon

Finally, we had booked our honeymoon venue: Japan!!! initially our target is only Aust Gold Coast, but dunno somehow, while we were walking in NATAS, our direction changed to Japan out of a sudden.. actually wanted to choose USA, as we can get to go LA, Las Vegas n my dream place San Francisco, but it was quite exp... so, after some consideration, we decided to go Japan..

We booked with Nam Ho agency.. will be going away for 5 days! will travel on 1st June, n back to S'pore on 6th June... This trip will focus on Tokyo.. we don't wana take the 7 days tour, which will also go to Osaka Universal Studio.. bcoz the 7 days tour is very packed n will b quite rush.. this 5 days tour is just nice.. just stay in Tokyo area.. n we will have some free time, leisure, where we can walk around on our own..

We'll be looking forward to the Disneyland!! n The Palette Town, which has ferries wheel... 1 of the largest ferries wheel in the world! i saw from I-weekly that among all those big n famous ferries wheel, this is in Tokyo is considered as the most romantic wheel!!! i'm really looking forward to take a look!!!! Wow,after waiting for 6 months after wedding, we finally can go for our honeymoon!!!!!

Our 4th year 3rd month

Today is the 27th, which marks our anniversary again... today is our 4th year 3rd month being together.. So fast, 2008 is our 5th year being a couple. but of course now, is married couple, not a courting couple animore..

Later gonna go for health screening, which does the basic checking of BP, sugar level etc... Cannot eat any food for the past 8 hours, so it means i missed my breakfast.. feel so giddy liao ahaha..

though today is our anniversary, but we dun celebrate each month, we'll celebrate every year.. which is 27th Nov.. Today is just a normal day for us, we need to work today. i have my weekly tuition slot this evening..

I never expected we can go so far, to be frank. So, i was still surprised that we are now married. I look forward to our days as husband n wife, spending the rest of our days together.. finally,i've settled down.. no need to re-develop another new r/ship.. but of course, now as his wife, we need to develop a new r/ship n status, so that we can last all the way. we need to adjust our mentality and way of living to accomodate each other. But our principle still stands, we dun invade each other's privacy. i think tat is the most impt factor in a r/ship. i blif we will work together towards a loving living life...

Updates II

We are stepping into the 2nd month of our marriage life.. after wedding, our focus for 2008 will be our flat... finally,we completed the most difficult part of the wedding preparation.. the traditional ti qin, guo da li, an chuang, ROM, banquet, bridal stuff...

Just now i went to our new house to put something, and also to see if the other 2 defects had been done.. indeed it was done, but HDB didn't call hubby to inform him about this.. later gotta find the contact number n ask them.. so that we can retrieve the keys from them..

Now,we will b waiting for SBC Design to call me,to make an appointment to see the designs of the layouts... finally done something for the flat.. quotation ok.. so if next week we go down to view the designs, if there is no problems with the designs,i think the renov work can start soon!! yippee!

I told hubby we need to go n see the paint colour, as he decided to do the painting ourselves.. if give it to the company to handle for us, it cost us near to 1K, hubby think it's not worth it.. but well, i respect his decision, since we r really budget about this.. i'm looking forward to see the layout for the kitchen n living room.. hope it will be up to our expectations...

Meeting up with contractor

just now when i was in a meeting, i received a call from the renovation company.... our design n quotation are done... initially made an appointment with the coordinator Victor that we will b coming down tmr morn... but hubby reminded me that he may go cruise tmr with his colleagues.. so, i called Victor back again, telling him if we can go down n meet him this evening instead...

made an appointment with him at 7.30pm... so i'll be meeting hubby there after my work.. hope the designs are up to my standard n expectation...

Updates on flat

just now morning, went to search for contractors... HDB gave us a booklet on some of the registered renovation companies... 1 of them were located at Jurong East Central. hubby n I went to have breakfast then to the company...

uncle gave us some suggestions on how we can do the kitchen n etc.. we oso told him wat we need to do for our premium flat... he will do the designs for us, n do a quotation for us... he said he will call us most prob next week around Wed.. if he can do it by next week, we will most prob meet him on Saturdays again to discuss further..

After that,we went to hubby's old house area to look for another company, to see what they can provide us.. this shop was super disappointing.. uncle kept asking us wat we wana do, how we wana do... i was like, walao.. if everything ask us, then we engage u for wat.. might as well engage ID n do.. or we can b ID ourselves already.. unlike the 1st shop that we went to, uncle will tell us roughly how to do etc.. this uncle simply ask us wat we want the designs to be... i have no confidence in this shop at all.. so didn't tell him all the things we need to do...

will be waiting for the 1st shop to call me.. n we'll see how much they quote us.. hope it's within our budget..
