So we decided to check out this sale over the weekend, cos we heard that the beds were very cheap there. Checked out a few of the big branded names beds and realised that there really is a huge difference in price. After being showed around some beds, realised that the salesgirl was getting a bit distracted - apparently, the owner of the department store was also buying a bed! We saw this ang moh couple, together with two kids on two, trying out the various beds. Anyway, in the end we didn't really find any thing so we walked to the shop opposite which had the original brand we wanted.
The salesman at this shop was really weird. For some reason or another, he quickly buttoned his shirt when we walked in (don't ask me what he was doing). All through the time, he kept cleaning off his sweat with his shirt collar, pulling up the collar and wiping his cheek. Good thing was he tried to give us some really good prices (Jgirl also bargained hard), but in the end, his boss said no go. So looks like we have to go back to the original store after all.
Seems like bed buying is never short of adventure.

Sake and Cake
Kboy says –
We went to a wedding event last weekend, organised by one of the premium caterers. It was an exclusive, invite-only event, so I was pleasantly surprised when they called me and said that we were one of the “lucky couples” who got in.
The place was done up very nicely – it was an old colonial building, all decorated up with flowers. The buffet spread was a limited, but the quality was pretty good. We sat around the cocktail tables and nibbled on the canapés, while the sales girl talked abut their various catering packages. The good thing was they also had a few booths of their partner / sponsors there, which strangely included a kite-flying service. Why anyone would want a kite flying service on their wedding day is really beyond my comprehension.
Anyway, the best part of the event was the goody bag, which had a beautifully decorated cupcake! One of the wedding cake people had baked cakes for everyone. We were still feeling a bit peckish, so decided to go Island Creamery for some ice-cream, where we quickly polished off the cake with some pear-sake ice cream. Yummy!!
The short-lived cupcake

Wedding Blog
Jgirl says -
Having read so many blogs, I learnt a thing or 2 about penning an interesting read.
Basically,
1) Write things that general people will understand and don’t use too much jargon. Did you know that there’s all these acronyms in wedding blogs like FH, AD, MTM, OTR, CS, EG, MIL…and you have to slowly decipher what it means. There isn’t like a ‘Legend’ to state that
FH- Future Husband
AD- Actual Day
MTM- Made to measure
OTR- Off The Rack
CS- Cheong sum
EG- Evening Gown
MIL- Mother In Law
Etc etc etc….
2) Try to inject humour
This is quite a subjective one cos some people do ‘cold’ jokes and you won’t even know that it’s meant to make you laugh… but generally I do find my friends’ lives very interesting when there’s something to laugh at. Just look at Kboy’s entries!
3) No mushy bits
Since this is a wedding blog of Kboy & me, we shall be careful to censor all mushy bits out of our logs so that you don’t feel like you’re subject to all our…erm…actually, come to think about it, we are not very mushy at all!! Are we huh, honey?
