Its funny that in all my old diary entries, there seem to be something in common..I always start the entry with.."how times flies". It seems that things starting moving so quickly that I hardly have time to even note them down. The last thing I want, is to suddenly realised that I am 70 years old and cannot remember a thing of the past. But I guess what i feared most was to be 70 years old and have not gone through anything that is worth remembering.
Anyway, so in a bit to at least counteract the first fear, I'm gonna try to recap as much as possible, the series of things that has happened reently..at least the note worthy stuff.
For the past few months of my life, Jeffrey and me have been pre-occupied with our preparation for the wedding but even more on the house renovation. In case, I have not mentioned this in previous entries, Jeff & I bought a 4-rm flat in Bishan. A nice little 84 sqm unit with 3 bedrooms.
We were very blessed as we bought the unit before the property market went mad. Huizhen just bought a 30-year-old 3-rm flat at Ghim flat for $73k above valuation. Imagine that! Jeff & I merely paid $6K above valuation but the remainder money has gone into the reno works. We got carried away with the reno and it still makes me sad to hear Jeff say that we might have bit off more than we can chew. But I guess thats all water under the bridge, hopefully it'd be worth every cent of our money.
Well, in case you are wondering where the money goes, here's an idea. For the hacking & laying of tiles, carpentry, windows & doors, grilles etc, it already cost me a whooping $29K. Throw in another $3k for fridge (which came with a free 26" LCD TV). Toilets bowls, basins, taps, mixers etc was another $3K, add another $1.5K for lights, switches and laying wires etc plus a customised wardrobe. My bills for the house reno came up to $40K. And this does not include furniture.
And we have not even considered expenditure for wedding..we still have the videographer to settle..any who reads this and would like to sponsor one or volunteer his service, pls leave me a comment.
On the wedding end, I've finalised the gown, which I did not really fall in love with but Jeff & the designer says it looks nice. The evening gown is also taking shape. To be honest, maybe I'm too chin chai already cause whatever the designer recommend also ok one but when I go back and see..what I had in mind is not quite the same. but i guess what i like may not be suitable for my body tyoe, thats why I always go with their recommndation. After all, they are the expert. So when i tried it on myself, I did not fall in love with it. I guess, will have to wait till the trial make-up in 2 weeks time to see.
That brings me to the next problem that I am facing. You see, two weeks ago, my fringe, came 'alive' and decided that it wanted to become a twistie. It looked gross and I went to this neighbourhood salon for a haircut in a bid to make things better. Not only did things not become better. It became worst!! The lady layered my hair so badly that it had too much volume on top and it actually made the twistie more curly!!
In the end, I went to Kim Robinson Plus recommended by my friends. I had originally intended for just a a haircut but the stylist (who is oh so boyish..my type but too bad he's not interested in gals) says only a rebonding can get rid of the twistie. so i blew $450 on my hair alone! Sob..eat grass for the rest of the month liaoz..what made it worst is that everyone says that i should not have rebonded my hair so near to the wedding but my stylist says its ok..so hopefully, it'll all work out.
Anyway, what's done cannot be undone so we'll just see how it goes. God has his plans for all of us and I have faith that my wedding will be a beautiful one with or without all these stuff..
