Normally ppl will say “the first and most important step for the wedding preparation is choosing a wedding date.” I wouldn’t disagree. But since we (me and Mr. Wong) have the consensus that we are only gng to get married in another year’s time, we’re gng to take it slooowly. So, I think our most impt step would be BUDGETING instead. Both of us are not rich man’s kids, so we got to do things within our means.
1
Was chatting with a friend on msn 2 days ago. He got married in May and it should be honeymoon period for him. His HDB is not ready till another 6 mths, so the newlywed is staying with his parents. Not that his lovely wife doesn’t like his parents, 相见好，同住难. Sounds tough for him to be sandwiched between. This story is nothing new, many have heard of it already. I am rather determine not to fall into the “trap”.. Thus, looking for our love nest become the top priority. I wanted to stay near my parents so that we will be entitled to the grant, but looks like it’s not that easy to get one in bedok…. The HDB here are soooooo hot!
2
I so wanted to take our bridal shoots overseas and Taiwan came up to my mind. Royston has promised me (long ago) that he will bring me to Taiwan 1 day, cos the last time I was there was so many years ago. So, I thot we could use the opportunities to travel there for a short vacation as well as for photo shoots. I’m intending to check out on the packages.
PS: If it exceed too much of the budget, we would call this off and 乖乖 take the bridal shoots in Singapore
3
Too early for honeymoon planning. Before I have any withdrawal symptoms (like my god-bro), I thot it might be good to think of the destination first and we would work out on the budgeting. I suggested Maritius, Greece, Canada. His face shows that he’s not very interested in those places. His standard answer would be “wherever u want to go lor”. I decided that I should get Royston involved, cos obviously this is a HONEYMOON. I dun want a “you happy so I happy” trip. So I tried asking him if there’s any place that he really wants to go? He said “London”. Since I’ve asked for his opinion, I think the least I can do is to respect his choice. So London it will be.
To Be Continued...

Budget Set = $40K
(including reno, furnishing, cash above valuation, etc.)

我们都只知道三姑六婆是鸡婆的意思。它真正的意思是我看台湾的《百万小学堂》后才知道的。
三姑六婆原本指古代中国民间的几种行业：
三姑 - 尼姑、道姑和卦姑
六婆 - 稳婆、师婆、媒婆、药婆、虔婆、牙婆
做了些 research 才知道，师婆是巫婆，虔婆是鸨母（aka Mama-san），牙婆更是贩卖人口的人口贩子。因为她们常常有诱谝妇女图己私利的嫌疑，所以久而久之就变成人见人恨的人。没想到，“三姑六婆”的原意与我们现在用的意思差那么远。以后在这个词时，是不是也要考虑它的原意ah?
Meaning aside, 郑板桥曾告诫家中妇女，不可与三姑六婆之流有任何来往。这点我绝对赞成。

Finally finished the whole series.
Not the hollywood, or traditional kind of Vampires & Werewolves. Not too bad a story. Am quite amused by the story's development actually.
A side note: Mark Lee is almost avoiding all chances to have any meals with us... making us very suspicious. Jiahong suggested that he might be one of their kind. Haha...

I love Filet-O-Fish! Wat's more? It's DOUBLE.
This is not sth new. Mac has brought this dble filet-o-fish back periodically a few times. Mac had used "Double Happiness" for their campaign the last time they launch Double Filet-O-Fish. My sis thinks that they might have missed out "Double Sinfulness". Ha ha...
We had Dble Filet-O-Fish after gym today. I was counting the carb that I was taking in... when I saw the words on the wall:
Since when Mac serve healthy, delicate, fresh food? Mac being mac has most of their food soaked in oil. How to be healthy, it's questionable. It's true that Singaporeans are more health conscious nowadays and do take note of wat they eat. So those words are to 骗人 or 骗自己？

今年的生日没有蛋糕，没有party。
我并不是要铺张，大肆庆祝。在重要的日子，就算不庆祝，也不想一个人孤单的过。haiz. 记得从前常常需要用一个星期来庆祝生日，从来没有像今年如此孤单的度过生日。收到朋友们的 sms, e-mail, fb 的 祝语，知道朋友们还记得，or even bother to wish me happy birthday，让我很感动。
传丰 sms 我说:"girls are like tat, they want ppl to remember their birthday but not their age." 我不得不承认。女人的年纪越来越大，越来越少人问起“你几岁？”的问题。老实说，如果你突然问我几岁，i'll be quite lost,真的需要算一下。Haha...
生日有什么愿望？
到了这个年纪，不敢有什么奢望，只希望事事如意。

Royston went back Tan Tock Seng Hospital for check-up. The appt card says strictly by appt only, which means no walk-in right?
His appt time is at 4.10pm. Royston reached at 1.28pm. He only gets to see the doctor at 6pm! And when I look ard, he's the 2nd last patient ard. How could this be? This is ridiculous! If he can only get to see the doctor 2hrs after his appt time, wat's the point for setting the appt? This reflects very badly on TTSH operation. They really pissed us off. I don't think they really "hope we have a nice day".

Does this sounds like me?
She will stand out of the crowd on the street. Leo woman normally or rather tall. You will hardly see a short thick woman. When she walks she walk like a queen, confident and does not look around, though as if there is no one around her.
She will dress in her own style not according to fashion. She is confident of what she choose to wear. Do not buy cheap cloths where they sell in dozen for her as a gift, she will hate it. Also do not buy cloths that do not reflect her confident personality. She likes unique and strange cloths and accessories. Being different is what she loves.
If you want to know her, take times and be patient because she is selective about people she mingles with. She's open minded, but yet she is not letting people get to close to her easily. She likes sweet words and compliments, but not too much.
She smiles with anyone, b! ut insid e she thinks she is borne to be a leader.
She likes to be in control because it is in her nature instinct. She is a graceful woman, and she has a magnetic charisma, so expect tough competition.
She is a very proud person, so do not do anything to challenge her confident. She can be mad and act like a hurricane, and later can be like an innocent kitten, but do not fall for her O.K. She remembers everything and likes to cherish her sweet memory, so if you find her old photo albums with her ex-boyfriend or love letters that will make you puke, take it easy. She is keeping her sweet memory does not mean she still in love with the old fool, so you do not have to panic.
She will have many guys run after her, so if you have advantage of a good background family, or a famous last name, a successful career then it's a plus. She hates to be poor and she thinks love will not pay bills.
She is a sport type and love sports. If you want to date her, prepare to spend big bucks, for your first dinner with her can not be a hot dog stand, but better be the best place in town. She is a generous person, so do not be surprise if she give you a gift more expensive than what you gave her. She likes extravaganza, no cheap gift, no cheap dinner please. Being poor or broke make her depress. If you do not have lots of money, be creative and make your own gift for her. It's unique quality and times spending making it for her is a big deal. You can think economical, but do not be cheap.
