    I need to rant.. Grr..

    I am very, very pissed... Hubby says I should not be affected by her, but I am really f**king pissed.

    First, she stopped talking to me once she started working. I am very sure my mum knows the reason but did not tell me. Fine, I don't rely on her or need her help for a living. I can afford my own expenses and pay for my own house. I work the same number of hours as her and earn 3 times more than her. So what if she has to wake up at 5+am and work from 7am-3pm? How about when I have to work 12-14hours in the past?

    Secondly, she did not attend one of the most important days of my life - my ROM. This is your only sibling for the past 23 years and you don't even want to go. Yeah right, because you were working on Sat so you're too tired and Sunday is the only rest day you have. As what my mum say, very poor thing, have to work so long hours, must rest, not enough sleep. If you can wake up every Sunday around the same timing to watch TV and play the PC, you can't go for my ROM? What bloody excuse is that?

    Last but not least, she did not even say thanks or a single word to me and Hubby when we gave her gifts and angbao for her birthday. Now she won a prize in the contest she always takes part and always has to ask Hubby to collect for her. She did not even say thanks to him or greet him. He is my husband now and he is your jie fu whether you like it or not. Not talking to me? Fine. Not even greeting him is way too much.

    I really don't know what kind of sister I have and in future if she wins anything again, she better bloody well go collect herself or don't take part at all. NB...

    Our ROM - 28th June 2009 (Sun)

    Finally... After 7yrs & 2 days of pak-toring, we have tied the knot! =)

    Its been a long journey and not a smooth sailing one definitely. But we have overcome most obstacles and the day we have been waiting for is finally here. Exchanging rings and vows with our loved ones and dear friends around us is no longer a dream only.

    I hope we have proven that love can overcome all and how deep and true our love is for each other. I am also thankful for supportive friends and relatives who have made this day possible. Not am I only touched by their sincerity, but also their generosity. Thanks a lot for your well wishes and for making me feel like a princess on this special day.

    Special thanks to Grace and Jocelyn for helping out at the reception table. You gals rock and really appreciate your time and effort.

    Thanks to Cammie & James for the lovely Precious Moments Figurine and angbao.

    Thanks to Annie, Bixin, Grace, Jocelyn, Alan, Yeo & Michelle (did I miss out anyone?), for their Precious Moments Figurine and angbao.

    Thanks to Charlene, Meilin & Sharon (Sim) for the Ikea vouchers (very useful!), angbao and ring pillow.

    Thanks to Linda for the pretty dining set with purple design! Keke...

    Thanks to all other friends and relatives (sorry, too many to list all) for the angbaos!

    Thanks to Tzuen for the video taking.

    Thanks to Sharon (Chew) for being the emcee, looking forward to your wedding in Sept! Appreciate your assurance and kind words. =)

    And as what Meilin mentioned, my Schenker gal frens are all chio! My PIA gal frens are equally pretty!

    Hope Gracie finds someone who loves her and she loves him as well soon since she caught the hand bouquet, haha! And, no... Saving Chloe is not an excuse, lol... 大笨嫁出去了,到小笨了!

    Thanks to everyone who has made this special day even more meaningful for me and Jimmy.

    Ermm, and please forgot about the left/right hand episode can? =p
    Oh ya, Happy Birthday to Auntie Lily! Thanks for attending with Uncle Richard as well though its your birthday.

    Of course I felt very touched and emotional during the solemnisation (I guess I disappointed you people when I didn't cry, lol) but I am equally touched by your presence and making me laugh.

    And just to relive the moment again...

    "I vow to to keep my love, as pure as it is today.

    In your laughter and your tears, in your sickness and your health,
    In your comfort and your fear, in your poverty and your wealth.
    I promise to be true to you, I promise to cherish you.

    With this ring as a token, I now marry you."

    Less than 24hrs to go...

    Tmr at this timing I will be Mrs Lim already... Feeling nervous, excited and stressed at the same time.

    I am very scared that I will miss out things, things will go wrong etc.

    I just spent 3 hours at the nail salon to get my nails done! Treatment, 2 nail extensions, french manicure, pearls/crystals for the finger nails, pedi and nail art for the toenails. =p

    So now all that's left (hopefully), is to sit back, relax, do the final masks tonight and be a pretty bride tomorrow!

    Keke... So, adios for now, I will try to blog tomorrow if I can, haha...

    Busy, busy, busy...

    Days really fly by nowadays, am busy with work and disputes in office, matters at home and misc stuff for ROM and lovenest.

    Transporter issues has been a headache for me and I am trying to see how things can work out. I am pissed by an information leak which is totally unethical and unacceptable.

    Mum has received yet another lawyer letter from that man, demanding us to reply in writing in 14days. I am feeling presurrised because she keeps asking me stuff and questioning me. Things like: Why you and Jimmy can get 30yrs loan, HDB say now no more 30yrs loan already? Can I insist on not selling the house? What if we cannot get a loan etc?

    She is kindda breathing down my neck and I am feeling frustrated. My ROM is just next week which she does not seem to care. We asked if she can be our witness and she says she is not in the mood now to talk abt this, see first... Hello, my ROM is next Sunday only leh.

    She's going to the lawyer office tomorrow about replying the letter and she asked Jimmy to accompany her. She wanted to ask me go too, but Jimmy told her my colleague on leave so I can't take leave. But I think she suspects that's not the case and questioned me again which I told the same story. She keeps asking me to take Mondays off for her matters, its not fair to my colleagues and to me loh. I need to take leave to settle my ROM stuff and she question me why.

    So I must take leave for her issues and I cannot take leave for my matters? I am feeling lousy enough, can she just get off my back?

    I have got so much on my mind that I feel like I'm going to explode. My hp is a little bonkers as well, I did not receive some sms from friends and vice versa. Now I wonder which of my sms were not sent/received. Hope nothing important is missed out.

    Am so happy for Cammie and James, their little princess is saying hello to the world later this year. It seems like just not long ago when I attended their wedding and now their 爱情结晶 is on the way. I know its kindda early and fast to get gifts but I just feel so excited about buying stuff, haha. Everytime me and Jimmy goes shopping for our stuff, I can't help but see baby stuff as well, exclaiming: This is so cute! This pink will look so nice on Isabelle.

    Keke, I got my eyes set on 2 items and can't decide which to get eventually. 1 is unique and 1 is practical. I feel like asking Cammie which she prefers, but it will spoil the surprise... Sigh... Tell me what to do?

    I am so blessed

    I am feeling very loved and blessed to have such wonderful friends in life.

    After yesterday's fridge surprise, Kelly MMS me the sneak preview of what she got us for our ROM. Its personalised with our names on it!

    So sweet and thoughtful of her~ Thanks babe! *muacks*

    Touched...

    I am really so touched and don't know how to express my thanks to Tzuen and family.

    We meet up like only 2-3 times a year, mostly during X'mas and they have always been generous and nice to us. Inviting them to our ROM was a definite answer and I never expected that they would give us such a huge gift.

    Can you imagine though they have known Jimmy since his pri/sec school days and me for maybe 5-7 years, they make me feel part of the family each time we visit them? Such a big angbao was really unexpected and its only our ROM. It was meant for us to buy a fridge for our new home and we have enough after that to pay partial for our new gate (let's just say its more than $500).

    I am really so surprised and touched. Not only by their generosity but also how thoughtful they were. I feel so blessed to have such kind-hearted people in my life and really don't know how to thank them. But I really thank them from the bottom of my heart and am very grateful.

    Thanks again, Tzuen and family!

    Furniture in~

    Our furniture is in finally after 1 mth's wait!

    Dining set came in on 29th May first followed by living room and bedroom set on 30th May.

    Am so excited by the new furniture and it finally looks more like a home. But the sad part is, our parquet floor got scratched by the bedroom furniture when the guys were assembling furniture. =( Now we're waiting for them to get back to us on how they're gonna resolve it.

    I felt the furniture looked much bigger compared to when I saw it at the shop. Perhaps its due to the larger space at the shop.

    I absolutely love my black L-shape sofa! I can lie there comfortably, read my novel and relax, keke. Have uploaded the pics in my Facebook, so kindda lazy to upload here again. Go check it out, keke~
