Mrs Lim as of 28/06/2009!

6 years and 10 months together, 2 months and 2 days before our ROM date.

The day is drawing closer and closer. Getting more and more stressed and nervous.

Though cleaning our kitchen cabinets and sweating like mad in this kind of hot weather is not very romantic on an anni, but... It makes me realise its not easy to maintain and keep a house. A house we can call our own, though its still in the process of becoming a actual home.

I am actually feeling very lousy about myself because for some reason, I have been putting on a lot of weight suddenly in the past year. Each time I look into the mirror, I see a big, fat, hideous pig. However, I am thankful to my gal frens and Hubby who still love me all the same. Who have never judged me by my appearance. Who have always never failed to encourage me and never stingy with their compliments. Who never fails to tell me they love me and muacks.

I love ya babes too and thanks for being with me through everything. =)



I am addicted to Restaurant City in Facebook!!!

How addicted? I play the game whenever I can if I have access to a pc. I am logging to 3 different accounts (mine, hubby and sis) at the same time in 3 different IE pgs and toggling in between.

Do join in!! Its so fun, challenging, exciting etc... =p



Keke, I am blogging from our new home while Hubby is in the toilet.

Went for the monthly detox massage and my whole body is always oily after that with all the essential oils from head to toe. So after late lunch, we decided to head back to our lovenest. Err, empty nest I mean, keke.

A place finally called my own... The most, most expenskive purchase ever in my whole life... I place where we share the ownership other than our joint account... A step nearer to starting a new life together and a family in the future...

Ok, I gotta go for now, Hubby is chasing me to go shower le...



We have found our JP, Mr Patrick Tan. Coincidentally, his office is at the CC near our new house, keke. Perhaps that's why he accepted our invitation to be our solemnizer?

Other than that, nothing much going smooth for us.. =( My trying of ROM dresses has been delayed to next Wed becos they have a bridal show this Sunday. I am freaking pissed becos:

1) The Yishun coordinator, Helen should have checked with the Tampines branch. Moreover, they don't know they having bridal show??

2) I asked for Jessie to be my coordinator 2 weeks back and Helen said she will get back to me. Like the previous 2 times, she never replies until I sms her.

3) I asked for Jessie and a Mili (dunno how to spell her name) called me instead. I was too paiseh to ask her if she will be my coordinator. Though she sounds nice on phone, but I would still prefer Jessie.

We still have not found a renovation contractor and might not be painting our own house afterall. Think too much work to be done becos they have a lot of nails and screws on the walls, a lot of holes to fill up.

We have not really started looking for our wedding bands yet either. My gan chiong spider is at work again and I seriously do not know why designs that I like are always expensive... =x
Its the same whenever I go shopping also... Simple, plain ones I don't like. Have unique, special details, I like = Expensive... =(

Haiz, jia you!!! 2 mths and 3 days before I become Mrs Lim. =)



This is fun, try it! http://www.magmypic.com/





We haven't really decide on the theme and look of our home... But when we went IKEA yesterday, I think sub-consciously I was choosing all black colour items. Keke, all time favourite colour other than purple. Likely its gonna be a black and white theme. Adding in white only so that the rooms will not look so dark.

No princess room for me in this case and I think its hard to create a purple and black look without looking Gothic. I suppose I can only paint the walls a light shade of purple with grey/white tones in this case at the most. Perhaps add some purple decor here and there, keke.

Here are some stuff which I liked at IKEA and I want wall decals in future!





I am very tired and feel my body aching. Not sure if its due to carrying my bag with the heavy lock for a few hours or if its PMS...

But... I am still happy to say we have collected our keys on 17/Apr, 3+pm at HDB Hub yesterday! We're the official owners of our new house now!

Before the HDB appt, I bumped into an ex-colleague, Maggie from Panasonic. And its such a coincidence that she's now working at an interior design company nearby. So we looked for her after our appt and asked for quotation for painting, the polishing of the parquet and main door. She later accompanied us to our house to see what else needs to be done cos we were not sure either.

Turns out that there are more works to be done which we didn't discover previously. Haiz, so many things, so little money. Lucky all are minor stuff which don't require hacking etc.
While chatting with Maggie, turns out that she knows Adrian & Dray and they were ex-colleagues. Faintz, really small world...

Anyway, we were quoted 1.2K for the painting and Hubby wants to DIY ourselves instead. Its gonna be a lot of hard work but it can probably save us a lot of kaching as well. See how it goes bah...

We're popping by our place again later to sprinkle salt and rice (mummy insist) and put our cleaning equipment there first. We can only sweep away the salt and rice tomorrow. So we'll probably head to Ikea and look for some ideas/concept for our new place.

Any volunteers wanna help us paint? =p



Its Hubby's 30th b-day! Hitting the big "3" finally, haha.

This year is a special year becos... I did not manage to get him a present... =x

We spent the day alone cos his friends did not meet us at the last min (more on that, so pissed!).
Went to Tampines 1 to walk around while we waiting for his friends to confirm time/place to meet which was later cancelled.

It was damn crowded and after walking through the levels, I felt like I was going to faint with hunger and I was walking around in heels.

We had our lunch cum dinner at BBQ Chicken at 5pm. The service was ok only, slow in serving but prompt when we asked for stuff like chilli sauce and pepper. Food was not as good as the Downtown East outlet though.

Think we will not be returning to there anytime soon.

Headed home and got caught in a jam for freaking ages at Tampines 1. Imagine our cab fare jumped from $3 to $6+ while in the jam. The uncle was so frustrated, he did an illegal u-turn later on at the junction, lol.

We napped once we got home cos we were both tired and were lacking of sleep recently.

It was a peaceful, quiet birthday with no cake, birthday song etc but we both felt happy enough to be with each other.

Oh, mummy and sis shared to buy him a shaver though, haha.

Happy Birthday, Hubby! Muacks, love ya always~



Things are not really gog smoothly recently, I need a lot of luck, sigh...

1) JP
We are still not able to get anyone to be our JP and the date of our 2nd HDB appt (17/Apr) is getting closer.

Though the HDB officer has said that he will obtain the extension for us, we feel its safer to file the marriage before the appointment. The popular ones (Mr Chia, Mr Yeo, Prof Yu etc) are all not available. A few did not response at all. There was a Jennifer Lim who asked us to call her secretary to check her schedule, wth...

Guess we have to try sending to all bah and see who response, haiz...

2) HDB Flat
We are supposed to do a final inspection of the flat to check if everything is in good condition before the completion date and handing of keys. So I got Hubby to call up Juliana (our agent) to check with the sellers when they can do it.

1st call - Hubby said Juliana revert that they're overseas and will only come back on completion date. I was freaking pissed cos how could they do that? They knew jolly well during the first appt that there will be a final inspection and they are coming back on the 2nd appt only? Then how in the hell am I going to inspect the flat and make sure evrything is alright?

2nd call - Hubby called her again to check and this time round she said, they were supposed to go overseas but... the husband got a heart attack and is in ICU, thus till now they have not moved.

I felt frustrated cos she doesn't seem to get the right info/fact sometimes and we're paying so much commission (3K+). On one hand, I felt pissed that this had to happen at this time, on the other hand I felt sorry for the sellers.

Sigh, I really hope that:
- he will get well soon
- they can move out on time
- the final inspection will be ok
- collect our keys with peace of mind



We have printed most of the invitation cards and have passed the cards to my colleagues cum friends today. Left only with Hubby's side to print and pass to Auntie Margaret, Uncle Richard etc.

Hopefully they'll RSVP by 5/May so that we have ample time for our arrangements and confirmation with the hotel.

We bought 2 very nice cute pens for the guests to write the well wishes, hehe.

On the down side, we have approached 4 JPs. 2 are busy on that day and 2 did not reply at all. Sigh...

Worst still, we're having some problems with Gallery Hotel.

1) We're expecting slightly above 40pax and asked if they can accomodate 11-12pax per table as we would like our friends who know each other to sit with each other. But the F&B exec replied that its gonna be squeezy and that they will place a few chairs ard instead.

2) We do not have a room or storage area for our belongings and I saw there were cupboards at the back of the room from the floor plan. Thus, asked if we can use one of the cupboards, they said no cos mainly for their storage, we can use the washroom in the room though to store. WTH? Washroom? *rolls eyes*

3) We wanted the bottles of honey as the wedding gift and now they say the supplier revert its no longer available and they will send us new pics of the available items. Arghz...

Seems like for 1 right thing, there will be a few things that don't go well. Boo hoo, more good luck please...
