Brothers' Discussion

I woke up with a bad sore throat. I had tried to battle it with bottles of herbal tea for the past few days but in vain. So I decided to visit the doctor. Surprisingly, there was no one else at the clinic. I told the doctor that I need to recover fast as I am getting married and will be going for honeymoon. The doctor understood my predicament and prescribed antibiotics and some other medicines to me. Thanks doc! I went home but I did not rest even though I took 2 medicines which will make me drowsy.. I do not have the luxury to rest cos I still have plenty of stuff to settle before the big day sigh..

In the evening, I went over to Huayong's house. The guys were having a potluck session to celebrate post X'mas and the coming of the New Year. But I did not join in as I need to take care of my body. After the guys had their fill, I started the discussion proper.

I went through the program sheet and told my brothers (Huayong, Chin Kang, Kia Hiang and Guohui) the important things to take note of. Kia Hiang was assigned the person-in-charge of them as he has experience in running events. Furthermore, my big day is his birthday as well haha! After I was done with everything, Daniel offered to send me back since he was going back too.

I gladly took the ride back. I went to Jer's house and we discussed on the final preparation for our big day. Tomorrow, we will be cleaning up the new house since we will not be able see each other on Friday (as according to Chinese custom).

ROM Verification

I went to United Square @ Novena to collect some free gifts from UOB for Jer. I arrived there just slightly before 1pm and the staff were all about to leave for lunch. I got the gifts and quickly went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to wait for Jer. Today, we will be going to ROM to verify our details at 4pm and Jer had applied for half-day leave.

Jer came and we went to Plaza Singapura to have our lunch. We ate at Cafe Cartel and went to ROM via walking behind Park Mall. I had remembered that ROM is located at Fort Canning Park and we had gone to the Legends via the same route before.

We ended up walking through the entire Fort Canning Park as the ROM is located at the other end.. City Hall is actually nearer sigh... We took a queue number at ROM and waited for our turn. Our turn came and we went over to verify our details. We were also asked to make an oath to declare that we are not married to anyone else and the oath is rather long. It's like we had gone back to secondary school to sit for the oral examination haha!

After that, we went to Funan IT Mall to buy a router for Jer's brother. Next we took the shuttle bus to Suntec City Mall. We shopped at Carrefour to see what we need to buy for our new home but in the end, we bought some clothes pegs haa!

We went back to Jer's home and I helped her to clean up her room. We spent a few hours to clean her room and it looks as if it is newly renovated.

I went home totally exhausted.

Delivery of Dressing Table & AV Testing

I went over to the new house slightly after 12pm to wait for the delivery of the dressing table. I had ordered it from Beds.sg and it was the most value for money compared to other dressing tables I had seen so far.

I swept the master bedroom floor and went back to do the wedding program sheet and seating plan. While I was in the midst of doing the seating plan, the deliveryman called to tell me that he would be coming between 4 to 6pm, which has totally detour from the original arrangement of between 12 to 4pm.. I asked him to come before 5pm as I have to go to M Hotel in the evening for AV testing.

As I was about to finish on the wedding program sheet and seating plan, the delivery came. It was already 5mins past 5pm. I made a check on the dressing table and everything seems fine to me. So I made the payment and the deliverymen left. I quickly packed up my stuff and went home.

I went home and had a shower. The time was already almost close to 6pm. I was supposed to meet Jer at Tanjong Pagar MRT station and I was about to be late. I quickened my pace and took the MRT. Luckily, I reached there on time. Jer came and we went to M Hotel.

I was about to call Eugene when we saw him walking out of the lift. We called out to him and he told us that another couple had arrived late for their appointment and he needs to attend to them for a while. We ordered drinks at the Tea Bar as we waited for him. Eugene came back shortly and we went through the finalisation of the wedding banquet. After that, we went to level 2 for AV testing. Jer's colleague, Lili, had helped us to create a childhood photo montage. This is my first time viewing it and it was very beautifully and professionally done. We were advised to give the file to the hotel in the format of .wmv or .avi in order for them to run it in their computer.

We went back to Jer's home after that.

Collection of Wedding Gowns & Suit

I woke up and called Jer to check whether she was still sleeping. I was surprised that she had already awaken and was cleaning her house. I washed up and drove Jer's brother's car over to her house.

Jer had packed some clothes and wanted to bring over to the new house. So, we went over with the clothes. We were supposed to be at Sattine at 11am but we were late as usual haa! We reached there at 11.20am and Mandy asked us to go up to try the gowns and suit again. We tried and Mandy told us to wait for her while she made some adjustments.

Feeling thirsty, we decided to get a drink at Tanjong Pagar Plaza but we ended up having lunch at the same time. We went back to Sattine but Mandy was not ready yet. So we continued waiting. We also collected the 3-in-1 photo and it was very nice. However, our photo album was not ready and we have to come back another day to collect. Sigh..

Mandy was very busy and Jing Ying came to help her to serve Jer. Jing Ying managed to resolve the issues of the gowns and ironed the gowns and suit before handing it over to us. We need to come back another day to collect Jer's Tea Dress and my evening suit as they will be used by other people first.

We spent almost 4 hours at Sattine and went to the Robinsons at Raffles City Shopping Centre. We had planned to buy a bag for Jer's mum with our Robinsons vouchers but could not find any nice design. So Jer shopped for her things instead.

Next we went to BHG at Bugis. There again we could not find what we wanted. Jer was very persistent and wanted to go to Orchard to shop. We went to Orchard and we went to Takashimaya, OG, Robinsons, John Little and Metro. At last, we found a bag suitable for Jer's mum at Metro.

We bought the bag and went home. Back at Jer's house, Jer started her spring cleaning again. So I helped her and we managed to clean her entire room. I went home while Jer took her bath.

Gosh we are so tired..

NTUC Shopping Spree

Jer called me twice in the morning to wake me up. She wanted me to send her brother to work so that we could use his car after that. I got up and went over to her house.

I sent her brother to work and drove the car back. We moved some of our belongings to the new house and before we knew it, it was already 1pm. We went to the new NTUC Xtra beside Jurong Point. A few days ago, I had received a mailer from NTUC which is giving a $10 discount for $100 spent at the NTUC Xtra. On top of that, I have $50 worth of NTUC vouchers while Jer has $5. So we will be able to save a total of $65 if we spend more than $100 there.

We reached the NTUC Xtra at around 1.30pm. The building was very crowded with people and most of the restaurants were fully packed with a some people waiting in the queues. We went over to Fig & Olive to have our lunch. After our lunch, we went up to the NTUC Xtra. It was also crowded with people. I had a hard time maneuvering the trolley around and we began our shopping spree.

After 2 hours of shopping, we finally checked out. The total bill was $132.20 and after deducting all the vouchers, we only need to fork out $67.20!! This is close to a 50% discount on all our purchases WOW!

We hurried back to our new home to place our shopping there. I sent Jer home and went home myself as I was rushing for work. I went over to Lot 1 to pass the car back to Jer's brother and went to work.

Wedding Gift from Kristin & Martin

The postman just came and delivered a parcel to me. My pen-pal of 12 years or so had sent a wedding gift to me as she could not turn up for my wedding due to work.

I opened up the parcel and guessed what was inside? It is a Precious Moments musical snow globe with figurines of a couple in wedding costumes. I wound up the knob beneath the snow globe and it plays the "Mendelessohn Wedding March" tune while the figurines turns in a circular direction. It is especially beautiful on the body of the snow globe as it looks as if the wordings "Precious Moments" are 3D. There is also a card in the box.

Kristin and Martin, thank you for the sweet gift!

Meeting with JP

I woke up 40 mins later after my alarm had sounded at 4pm. I had a few calls while I was sleeping till I just stopped the alarm as I thought it's one of those calls again haha!

I got up immediately and left my house at 5pm after a brief wash-up. I went to Bukit Batok Central to cut my hair. The last time I had cut my hair was the middle of last month. So I was sporting a mushroom hairdo which is difficult to style as it was thick and heavy.

I was done with my haircut at 6pm and went to Tiong Bahru MRT station to wait for Jer. We would be meeting our JP Ms Ong Ying Ying for the first time to sign the consent form for solemnisation at Novena Square at 8pm.

When we reached Novena Square, it was almost 8pm. Jer got an sms from Ms Ong saying that she would be coming around 8.15-8.30pm cos she wants to have her dinner first. We shopped around the shops there and she finally arrived.

She is a pleasant-looking and soft-spoken lady. We had thought the signing of the form would only take about 5-10 mins but we were wrong. She had intended to brief us about the procedures and preparation for the solemnisation and it would take about an hour to do it. So we went to Ichiban Boshi to have our dinner while she briefed us.

We finished the briefing and dinner at around 10pm. We bid farewells to her and went back home. Overall, we feel comfortable with her being the solemniser for our wedding. :)

Tea Dress

I went over to Jer's house and we moved some things over to our new house. Jer finally saw the store rack and study table and she was quite pleased with them.

After that, we went home to prepare to go to Sattine. We would be meeting Mavis to try out her bridesmaid's dress and at the same time, Jer would choose a Tea Dress for the AD tea ceremony.

Mandy was there but she did not attend to us as she had flu. Her colleague helped Jer and Mavis to select their dresses. After about 3 hours of selection, we were finally done. Mandy also took the final measurements for me.

We went to Tanjong Pagar Plaza to shop for some fake flowers to make corsages for Jer's sisters. After a short shopping, Mavis had her dinner at BK at Amara Hotel while Jer and me shared a chocolate pie. The taste is werid and I conclude that the chocolate that was used is not of good quality. Mavis and Jer went home while I went back to my station. It's night shift again...

We will be going back to Sattine on 28 December to collect our photo album and Jer and Mavis will try out the gowns/dresses for the final time. The countdown to our big day is only 13 days more!

Store Rack

I went to the new house slightly after 2pm. I was doing the seating plan for the wedding banquet and the weather was gloomy. I brought along the 2 big bags of Corelle kitchenware which my sister had bought as a gift for me. Thanks sis!

The delivery of the store rack was supposed to come between 3-4pm but the deliveryman called to tell me that he would be late. I continued to do the seating plan and also the program sheet. At around 4.05pm, the deliverymen came. They were done assembling the store rack in about 15 mins. I made payment and they left.

I carried on with what I was doing and the sky started to turn dark. It was already 7pm and I still haven't pack the things into the storeroom. I took some newspaper and began to lay them over the plywood. Next, I moved the cans of paint onto the rack and I placed them tactically as I fear that the weight may break the plywood. This will not happen if the boards are made of steel.. I loaded everything onto the rack and went home for dinner.

The final furniture will be the dressing table which will be Jer's Christmas present from me. It will be arriving on 29 December. The house will be completed at long last. Yes!

Delivery of Study Table

I went over to the new house after lunch to wait for the arrival of the study table and to clean up the house. Jer had no time to clean the floor after her sisters' gathering at the new house.

I vacuumed the study room and the delivery came. The deliverymen assembled and placed the table according to my request and left. The tempered glasses for the table are not fitted tightly even though the metal parts have been all connected tightly. They left the house and as usual, I have to clean up the room again due to the pieces of small Styrofoam and dirt from the cardboards.

I vacuumed and mopped the entire house and a female Malay lady came to the door. She is thinking of buying the unit beside my house and came to check on the owner. Too bad I couldn't help her much cos I also have not moved in yet haha! She seems quite a nice person though.

I tried calling Jer's mum but no one answers the phone. So I went home and went for a jog at the car park. After my jog, I managed to contact Jer's mum and arranged to meet her to buy the ring at a jewellery shop near Bukit Gombak MRT station.

We went to the jewellery shop and I began to choose a ring. I did not catch a fancy on almost all the designs and finally chose a gold ring with a simple design. I guess it's the best I can find in that shop...

Jer's mum bought her dinner and we returned to Jer's house after that. Jer will be reaching home from work soon.

Delivery of Cakes

I woke up at around 9am and went over to Jer's house after I had washed up. Today, I will be going with Jer and her mum to distribute the wedding cakes to their relatives. The mode of transport will be Jer's brother's car.

Jer was still preparing the cards for her relatives and we ended up leaving the house later by a hour to collect the cakes at a cake shop near to Bukit Gombak MRT station. We went back to Jer's house to pick up her mum. Her mum wanted to give 3 boxes of cakes to her neighbours and Jer took out for her. Jer accidentally opened a box and got a nasty surprise! There were only 2 designs of cakes in the box... She had thought the cake shop will prepare 10 pieces of different design cakes when she went to the cake shop with my mum.

Both Jer and her mum started to complain about the cakes and I am the most innocent party as I am not the one who ordered the cakes... Nevertheless, we still went around to deliver the cakes.

Most of Jer's relatives stayed in Bukit Panjang and we went over there first. Next we went to Ghim Moh estate to deliver to Jer's cousin. We had lunch at the coffeeshop before we continued on our mission. We went over to Ang Mo Kio and Woodlands, followed by Jurong West and Hillview Ave.

The Hillview Ave we had stayed for 20 years of our lives is no longer a familiar sight to us. All the HDB blocks have been demolished and there are only trees. All the talk about building a condominium at the place is only a bubble. We went to Jer's cousin's condominium and chit-chatted with the cousin's wife for almost 2 hours.

After that, we went back to Jer's house. We were supposed to go to Sattine to collect the selected soft copies of our wedding shoot and we left the house at around 8.15pm. We reached Sattine in 20 mins and collected the CD.

Jer's mum was supposed to buy a ring and a pair of pants for me as a good will but we were so busy till we could not make time for it. Seeing that we still have some time before G2000 at Tiong Bahru Plaza closes, we rushed over there.

Jer helped me to choose a pair of pants and I am still able to wear size 28" but it was slightly tight at the thigh area. So I took the size 29" and it was not that fitting but more comfortable. The store is having a promotion that anyone can buy 2 pieces of apparels at 30% discount. We looked around and I bought a shirt to go along with the pants.

We bought Subway for dinner and went back to Jer's house. We had our dinner and I went home exhausted. Time for a good rest!

Sisters' Gathering

Today is the day to meet up with all my sisters and Lida who had willingly volunteered to be the MC. Thanks heaps!

Received an sms from Van in the morning to say that she's not well and might not be able to attend the gathering as she wouldn't want to spread the virus to us. I told her if she's really not well, she'll better stay @ home to rest - not at all bothered that she'll spread the virus to me...hehe... since I've been sick for the past 3 weeks.

2 hrs later, Zhen sms to inform that Lisi and her are sick. In fact, they have been sick since Mindy's wedding. This is the moment when I was thinking of postponing the gathering since 3 persons can't attend. In the end, Zhen asked me to proceed and she'll try to come if she feels better. I feel so touched that all the sisters are trying to meet up though they are sick.

Anyway, today is also the day for preview of the album montage. Ben & I had lunch and went to Sattine to preview the photos. Well, I kindda like the way the photos are designed and placed. We spent around 10 mins and we are done. No changes needed. Haha... Happy...

I am supposed to rush home now for the sisters' gathering. Just then, Lisi called to say she is sick but she will still come. So touched! Just as I was going to walk to my new home, Lida called. He's waiting outside my house already. Ghosh! I am not even at my new house yet. I apologised and told him I am on the way there now... Feel so pai sei... Didn't expect anyone to come early, esp half an hour early.

I hastened my footsteps and saw Lida waiting outside. I quickly opened the door for him and settle a few things before we had small chats while waiting for the rest to come. Door bell rang and it's pizza delivery. The guy actually don't have a pen with him and fortunately, Lida came to the rescue. What am i gonna do without him. Haha... And he laughed at me for not knowing my own house like where things are kept. Oh well... I've not shifted in and seldom go to my new house so naturally I am quite unfamiliar. Haha...

Slowly one by one the sisters start to come and the sushi finally arrived. They had a tour of my new house before having the dinner. Lida had quite a no of suggestions and all sisters contributed on how to "sabo" Ben. lolx and I let the cat out by telling them what his most afraid of. Well... I shall leave the discussion as that as i can't possible write them down here if not Ben would have known what's gonna happen that day... We shall leave it to 3rd Jan to reveal the secrets.

First & Final Meeting with Colette Seah

I went to the new house in the afternoon as I had some free time. I spent an hour to assemble the bed in the guest room and my finger got hurt in the process.. Luckily it was only a superficial injury. I also changed the toilet bowl cover which Jer had changed on Tuesday. Finally I began to install the CCTV in the living room but I did not managed to get it running even though I believed I had connected all the links correctly. Guess I will need to contact the installation person for help.

I went home and bathe before going to Tanjong Pagar MRT station to meet Jer to go to M Hotel together. We were supposed to meet the Catering Manager, Colette Seah, at 7pm but I reached Tanjong Pagar MRT station exactly at 7pm. We quickly walked to M Hotel and I called Colette the moment we reached the lobby. Colette told me to wait for her at The Tea Bar.

We ordered two drinks and made ourselves at home. Yesterday, Jer and I had run through some issues which we would like to bring up to Colette. Jer had gone the extra mile to convert the handwritten paper into a computerised paper.

Colette came shortly and gave me the extra wedding cards which I had requested. I checked the design and found that it was different from the one that was given to us. I told Colette and she would make the change later.

Colette told us that her colleague, Eugene Lam, will come to meet us soon as she will be handing over her duties to him when she goes for vacation next week till 5th January 09. So this means that we will not see her again after today.

They showed us the available wedding favors and we selected two. We were also asked to choose the decoration theme for the dinner and we went into details on the contract. We discussed many issues including those which Jer and I had prepared. So we will need to select the songs and I will need to coordinate the wedding with Eugene.

We left the hotel after an hour of discussion. We were tired and went home straight.

Tiring Day

I went straight to the new house after my night shift. The dining table from Star Furniture would be coming at around 10.30am. So I bought a packet of vegetarian bee hoon and a can of drink for breakfast while I wait for the delivery.

The deliverymen came at 10.40am and they were quick in assembling the table. But they did not clear the aftermath of the installation... There were a lot of small Styrofoam which dropped off from the Styrofoam board used to protect the glass. I gotta sweep them up but it was a futile effort.. So I used the vacuum cleaner to clear the mess which was super duper efficient!

While I was cleaning, the curtain uncle called me to tell me that the curtains are ready and asked me whether he can come at 2pm. I agreed and continued with my task.

After I was done, my mum called me. She was not feeling well and wanted me to go back home asap. I went home and my mum told me that she had been vomiting and feeling dizzy. I brought her to the nearby clinic to see the doctor. The doctor checked my mum thoroughly but could not deduce what was wrong with her. It could be that she was either too tired or her body did not adjust back after she had touched down in Singapore from Taiwan. The doctor prescribed some medicine to my mum and we went back home.

My mum was washing her clothes earlier and I told her to rest and I would settle the rest. Luckily, she had wanted to wash her clothes in the washing machine and that saved me the hassle of hand-washing. I followed her instructions and washed and hanged out the clothes. At the same time, I asked the curtain uncle to wait for my call when I'm going over to the new house.

I reached the new house at around 2.10pm. The uncle and his assistant came over at around 2.30pm. In close to a hour, they completed installing all the curtains. The curtains were all beautifully made. I asked the uncle how much the curtains cost in all but he told me that he did not bring his invoice along. He will get the payment from me on another day.

I went home and finally took my bath before going to sleep. I barely slept 2hrs before my handphone alarm starting to ring. Jer and me will be meeting David and Mindy for dinner and to view their wedding photos at their house.

I got up and went to Bukit Gombak MRT station to meet Jer. We reached Causeway Point on time but David and Mindy were still looking for a parking lot at the car park. So we strolled around while we thought of what to have for our dinner. We saw a set dinner promotion at Siam Kitchen and decide to go for it.

David and Mindy came and we ordered our food. The food took quite a while to come but it was worth the wait. After the dinner, we went to David's and Mindy's new house.

This was the 1st time I had seen their new house. Everything was very new and shiny and stylish. They showed us their Sattine photo album and the photos were very well taken and designed. Hopefully, Yen will present the same quality to us on the coming Saturday when we meet him for the album preview.

We finished watching the 10pm Channel U show and went home. I sent Jer home and went home to sleep. I'm so dead beat after a long day yawn..

A Near Complete Home

At 9.46am, I was awaken by a call on my handphone. My uncle wanted to come to my house at 11am instead of 1pm. After the call, I realised that he had also called me at 7.46am and sms me but I did not hear it.

I got up immediately and washed up. Since my uncle is coming over with his lorry, I was thinking that I might as well move my TV, PS2 and printer to the new house. So I began to unplug all the cable connections.

My uncle came with his wife at 10.50am. I was still packing the things and he single-handedly moved the mattress and dismantled bed frame. We went to the new house after moving the bed to the lorry. When we reached the car park behind the block, we carried the things up while my uncle's wife helped us to look after the things.

After we had unloaded everything in the new house, we went back to my house again to collect the remaining things. Next, we went to Jer's house to collect her keyboard and other stuffs. We went to the new house and shifted everything up.

The two trips were tiring especially because of the long distance between the lift and the staircase and the need to climb up a flight of stairs. Too bad that the Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP) will only be taking effect next year for the block. Haiz..

By the time we were done moving the things, the time was almost 1pm. My uncle went to the kitchen to install the tap, and changed the mirror and toilet bowl seat. He also helped to install the glass platform on the toilet wall. Jer went to the master bedroom and realised that we had bought the wrong colour for the toilet bowl seat... Lucky, we can still go back to the shop to change it within 60 days of purchase. I bought lunch for everyone and we had our food at the coffee table.

Lastly, we carried the study desk, which was left over by Mr Lim, to throw downstairs. But in the midst of carrying along the 5th floor corridor, we were intercepted by a Malay family who wanted the study desk. So we moved the study desk into the Malay family's house and left. This really saves us the hassle of carrying the study desk down haa!

My uncle and his wife went home after that. I had prepared a red packet for my uncle as a token of appreciation for his help. Jer wanted to buy a dining table urgently and we decided to go to Defu Furniture located at Bt Batok branch.

But I had to return home to wash clothes first or the amount of clothes would pile up. After I had finished washing and hanging the clothes, I took a bath and met Jer at her house.

We went to Defu and it was located at a remote and secluded place. There were a lot of furniture on display but the pricing was higher than other places we had seen so far. We left the place disappointedly and Jer wanted to go to Star Furniture located opposite IMM to take a look.

We took a cab there and saw 2 suitable tables. We were pondering whether to choose the smaller but stylish table or the larger but simple one. Finally, we decided to go for the larger but simple table. While the salesperson was issuing the invoice, we spotted another table with the same dimensions as the one we had chosen and changed our order to it. The delivery was set on the coming Wednesday (10.12.08) in the morning.

Satisfied, we went to IMM to have our dinner. We dined at the Hong Kong Cafe and shared a boiled half-chicken with two bowls of rice. We also ordered the iced milk tea which comes with ice-cream in it. I added glass jelly to it and the taste was very refreshing. We had a very full dinner and went home.

The new house is almost complete except that we are still short of a study table. Hopefully, we can find 1 to our likings soon!

Final Aircon Servicing & Payment

I had slept less than 2hrs and I went to the new house to meet the aircon technician to repair the faulty aircon in the guest room. When I got there at 3pm, the technician was already waiting outside. He's so punctual.

The technician wasted no time on the repair and he finished the job in 10mins. Sebasten called me to check if the technician was there and told me that he would be dropping by to mend the hole in the guest room and the gap under the rubbish chute and most importantly, to collect the final payment haha!

I paid the technician the cost of the replaced part and he left. I began to install the Starhub voice-enabled modem and the D-Link router. I tried to install the software for both devices on my laptop but I encountered errors. However, the network and phone line were working perfectly. So I called up D-Link to enquire about the error and was told that the software was not required at all and the amber light that appeared at the "Link" on the modem was also encountered by many other users. After that, I made a test-call to Jer who was outside with her friends and she was surprised that the phone line is up.

Sebasten came with a packet of cement and started to mend the hole and gap. He was done in a while and I asked him to send me home as I did not expect him to turn up today and did not bring along my cheque book. He gladly sent me back and I gave him the final payment of $888.

Seeing that I had some time before meeting Jer, I went to sweep and mop my home. I had my bath and Jer called me. Jer arranged to meet me at Jurong East MRT station to go to IMM to purchase a tap for the kitchen and the toilet bowl seats.

When we were at IMM, we went to Sim Sang Choon and bought the tap, a mirror for the toilet and 2 toilet bowl seats. After that, we went to The D.I.Y Store and bought our unit numbers at last! We had dinner at Subway before taking a cab back to the new house to put the things.

Tomorrow, my uncle will be dropping by to help us to move the bed and to fix the tap. It will be a long day ahead!

Curtain Part II

At 7.30pm, I went over to the new house to await the arrival of the curtain uncle. At the same time, I began to fix the Starhub broadband in the living room. The uncle came with his assistant at 7.50pm. I asked them to take a seat to wait for Jer as she had just reached Bukit Gombak MRT station. I turned on the TV and fan for them while I continued with the modem installation.

Jer came and we began to browse through the catalogue. We chose two designs and the uncle told us that he has to go back to check whether there is any stock of the design. He left a catalogue for us just in case that the two designs we had chosen had run out of stock. They left and Jer and me went to the coffeeshop to buy my dinner.

Tomorrow, the uncle will call me to update me on the designs. Hopefully they will be available and the curtains will be up by next week.

Meeting with Jacky

At around 3.30pm, I was sleeping when Jer's brother called me. He was not working today and wanted me to go with him to Funan IT Mall to fix the RAM problem in Jer's and his laptop. I was still feeling tired and slept somemore...

I woke up at around 4.15pm and sms Jer's brother to prepare to go out. When I went to Jer's house, her brother was still preparing... We left the house at 5pm and did some errands before going to Funan IT Mall.

We reached Harvey Norman at Funan IT Mall and the salesperson upgraded Jer's laptop without any questions asked. He also told us that Windows Vista requires updating to Service Pack 1 before it can support 4GB of RAM.

Next we went to fetch Jer at her office. Jer's brother was very famished and we went to Tiong Bahru Plaza for dinner. As the time was running late, I sms the videographer Jacky to postpone the appointment time to 9pm. We had nasi lemak there before we parted our ways with Jer's brother.

We took the MRT to Pasir Ris MRT station and a cab to Jacky's house. Jacky showed us a video he had taken for a previous couple and it was very funny. We were satisfied with his work and we discussed on the pricing. We also asked for a photo montage and the whole package cost $1k... Jacky asked for a deposit of $300 but I did not bring any cash out. Lucky, he was okay with it if I would transfer the money to his bank account.

We left his house around 10pm and took a bus to Pasir Ris Interchange. I transferred the deposit at White Sands before we embarked on the long journey home. We were so tired and we fell asleep the moment we sat on the seats. I sent Jer home before going home.

A month more to go before our big day haa!
