Happily Married

Kboy says -

Its been a really fantastic weekend, busy events and everything has just seemed to rush over! Thanks to all our helpers who have really looked after us and made sure that everything went smoothly - there were so many details but you guys took care of everything! Thanks also to Wedding Present, Justin, Keeren, Robert, Eric & Chris who really made our day special for us :) And also thanks to all our guests who took the time to share our joy and were so generous in their giving!! ( We counted ang baos till 1 am on Mon morning ...)

Can't believe it's over at last! However, we throughly enjoyed ourselves throughout the weekend and will have many happy memories to last us a lifetime! Special thanks to our families and friends who were involved in making sure everything was smoothly carried out. We didn't have to worry at all!! We're off to Spain tonight for our 2 week honeymoon. Please cover us in prayer for journey mercies and protection against pick-pockets!!

Also, our wedding pictures will be ready in 2 weeks so we will update it here when we're back! Watch this space :)

2 days of singlehood left!

Kboy says -

Yup, this is probably the final post before our big day. Thanks to all who've helped! Hopefully the next post will be from spain :) And we'll post on the final renovations when we get back from our trip - will have lots of links and photos from the day then ...

Signing out for now ...

4 days away!

Reality hits. Its just 4 more days of singlehood!! Am starting to feel my nerves...but I'm also very excited about the wedding that we have been planning over the past few months! More than that, I'm looking forward to married life and living in our new home. And there's also the honeymoon. You would agree that we really need a break to just relax and spend time with each other after such a hectic weekend. We get back to Singapore on 30th Oct :)




I guess if we don't get to slot in another post before the big day, I should just express my gratitude to everyone who has helped out in one way or another for this wedding.

CHEERS!

Hen Nights!!

Jgal says-

My dear collegues organised a really fantastic hen night for me. Some of the things i was made to do...erm...i can't even tell you (too embarassed)! But i basically got dressed up in a tiara and a "bride-to-be" sash and made to walk down Orchard..., went into Alley Bar and I had a really good and memorable night! Thanks gals!!!

My dear poly mates also threw a hen night for me. It was a much calmer one but i was truly tested on my alcohol limits!! Never done so much drinking (different types of drinks) in one night, from Sangria to Mojitos, to shooters, to the Drip @ Clinic!!! Fortunately, I think i passed the test! At the end of the day, I could still call for a cab and tell the driver where my home was. :) Thanks everyone, it was a truly great time and I hope I don't become an alcoholic!!

Renovation Part 4

Our house has been invaded by cupboards! Walked in one night and found the whole place filled with unfinished cupboards ....


On a less pleasant note, one of the workers has broken our toilet bowl, so I had to make a trip specially during lunch time just to buy another toilet bowl!! So sianz! Dunno how they managed to break the toilet bowl as well ...

Bridal Gift Register

Jgal says-

Check out our Bridal Gift Register at Takashimaya. (This function ensures that we don't get given 5 microwaves..hehe..)

Kboy and I were picking out a few items that we'd like to have for the new house, and if you're thinking of getting us a present for the wedding, please feel free to email Takashimaya to ask for Keen Mun & Li Hui's Bridal Gift Register. Don't worry, we've selected a wide range of stuff that will suit every budget, but you've got to be quick otherwise all the $1000 gifts will be snapped up!! :)

Back from Reservist

Kboy says -

Just got back from reservist, and now its back to my two jobs: 8am - 5pm is work at the office, 5pm to 8am is work at the wedding! heh heh.

Reservist was a nice "break", zero exercise of the mental faculties, and maximum physical exertion. Just had to run around, dig holes in the ground and shout loudly to show aggression ... quite dumb really. Am very sunburnt now, Jgal is unhappy that my face is now so brown. I told her that army doesn't issue sunblock, and she promptly went to buy some SKII mask when we went shopping yesterday.

Anyway, the house is really starting to come together, the floor was done and the cupboards are in. Lights are all fixed up as well. We are in the final leg now, so everynight got something on, final fittings, meeting with the florist, passing cards to friends ...

Gifts Galore!

Jgal says -

A few of our friends have asked if we are publishing a 'wish list', so that they can get us practical and good gifts that will be useful in our new home.

We haven't figured out the best way to do this because there isn't a mechanism on this blog to let a person anoymously select the particular gift, and informing other blog readers that the particular option is taken. AND we won't want to receive 5 coffee machines either... :P

We'll probably check out Tangs bridal gift services and see if they can keep a checklist for us. Those interested to get us a gift can call Tangs and quote our file to see what gifts have been booked, and indicate what gifts they would like to give us. If we confirm this arrangement, I'll update the information asap.

Alternatively, just give us in the most practical form :) and we will do the shopping..haha..

1 Month Away!

Jgal says -

It's one month away!! We are both getting a little stressed, especially when the house renovations are also underway. We are now writing and sending invitations, receiving RSVPs, keeping track of what's happening with the house. What's worse, as I'm writting this blog, Kboy is in camp for reservice for 2 weeks. >.<''''

Fortunately, we have most of the reno matters under control and it should be about 2-3 weeks away from completion. The lift upgrading at our new flat looks promising too! We may be able to take the lift instead of walking up 4 storeys when we finally move over. I'm praying hard about that!!

In the next few weeks, we need to take care not to fall sick. Lots of people are down with cold and even suspected dengue. Scary!! I'm taking lots of water and vitamins to boost my immune system. And i hope God protects us from the mosquitoes ;)

Renovation Part 3

Kboy says -

The contractor has been at our house, doing lots of tiling and plastering. Everything is now covered with a thin layer of white dust. The floors and walls of the toilets and kitchens are now nicely tiled. House looks alot brighter without the pink walls! Next up is to do re-wiring and the false ceiling. Then the first coat of paint and then the floors ...
