Creativity Juice!

Recently I'm really lacking on creativity juice... cause I've been working OTs for most of the Sundays in Feb also March too! No choice, got to work harder now that I'm preparing for wedding and house.

My hands were itching for a scrapping time but my mind seems to have a mental block.. Can't really visualize how I want my layout to be.. Luckily for sketches!!

Using this sketch from Sketchy Thursday.... I recreated my layout!

I simply *heart* this new series of MME pappers!!!

1 more week to my HDB appt.. Was quite disappointed that 1 of my choiced unit got booked by others.. Got to reconsider other units.. Haiz.
Pray hard that by the time we can get our choice unit!!

Discovering our future home... Fernvale Lea

Both my bf and I are very excited in getting our first home together!! Another 3 more years for the flat to be constructed and ready to hand us the key!!

We have yet to book our flat.. which we have another 2 more weeks to go! Everyday we are just hoping that our choice unit won't be booked by others. So we have finally short list our final 2 units. So pray hard that we will get either 1!

To get a better idea of where is the land and whether there's going to be morning sun. afternoon sun... near LRT station or bus and nearest shopping mall.. and etc... so we pop by and explore the place.

Hmm.. I seems to put on weight!! Face so round!

Can't wait for this piece of land to start building!!! Many ppl have commented that I put on weight!1 =(

It's really high time for me to start my diet!! My colleague recommended me this organic fruit juice that Jin Yin Ji endorse.. And he highly recommend it! But damn ex! 3 bottles for 3 different flavors.. cost ard SG$300++ 

Wonder if I should start??!! Still thinking, maybe I should try out 1 flavor first.

Still thinking.... and thinking! (o__0)"

Happiness + Bliss... (Our story)

Our first holiday together

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.. and it's my first year anniversary with my bf.. To others, it may seems like a very short year. But many stuffs has happened between. (None of them are bad! (^_^))....

So there's my story... <3

photo: pinterest - wedding junk

Firstly we met each other long time ago, while I was still working a location branch in PZ. He is one of the newly employed guitar teacher but at that time, we just had normal conversations as then we each have our own relationship. We didn't really contact much, just occasional smses only. Until he resigned from his teaching post to study his degree and I continued with my work, studies and a relationship that is filled with so much ups and down. 

So during the years that my bf resigned, there's totally no contact at all... almost forgotten that he exist. (that's really bad of me...) So till 1 day, 1 of our existing guitar teacher needed to take 1 month break from teaching and my colleague some how managed to contact my bf back to do relief teaching... It was then my BFF at work let him know that I'm single.. And he was single too at that time.

Hmm... I'm not sure what makes him contacted me.. But he did sms me and ask me out for movies! So i said ok... And there's where we started...

Smsed each day daily... Each of his messages just make me smile...

Went out to have lunch, dinner and movie dates. And not long, he asked me to be his gf. So I agreed on Valentines' Day... He's the guy that I've always wanted so I didn't need to look any further over his shoulders..

And in 3.12.2011... he proposed to me. He gave his all to get the proposal ring.. Nothing romantic but it touches me lots!! ( I wonder if he would upgrade my ring??!! Cos he said that he will give me a bigger one when he earns enough...) Hahaha.. 

14 Jan 2012, we decided to ballot for 4rm flat in the Jan12 Ballot exercise... Just 3 weeks later, we received our que number... and now it's another 2 weeks to our first appt.

I hope that tgt we can have more milestones tgt...

Countdown to our biggest purchase ever!

Super excitied!! I am seaching thru all the forums that I can find regarding Fernvale Lea and also doing site visits (thought now it's just a piece of land), doing our homework regarding the OCS (flooring and door installations option offer by HDB).

Many things needs to be discussed but we already have 2 of our choices listed. Very anxious and hoping that our choiced units won't get snap away!

Disney Fairy Tale Wedding.

Found this video on youtube... Love all the growns in the video..
If only I can find such growns in Singapore!!!




I have yet to start my bridal shop hunting.. but I have already shortlisted afew. So will be going to these bridal shops to try out their growns and also to compare their pre-wedding photography packages.

So these are the few bridal shops that I have shortlisted.

I really hoping that My Dream Wedding can quote me a decent pricing as I have already discuss with my bf that we will most likely to go to Macau for our wedding shoot. So I know Cang Ai and My Dream Wedding have packages to HK. Not quite sure of the rest... Still a long way to go before I start my Bridal Shop Hunt as I need to slim down first!!

Our first letter from HDB

Just received a call from my bf that we received HDB letter saying that our first appointment will be on the 4th March 2012, 10am!!! Ahhh... So excited!! This will be our first big purchase and I'm really looking forward to having our home together! (^_^)

Excited and also feel kinda of worried that we might not have enough cash for weddings and other stuffs. But like what my colleague said, even if one is not getting married, one will always say that money is always not enough... So right now, We really got to work super hard and start saving alot!

Recently I haven been scrapping much... cos I'm always chasing after tv drama serials.
First is Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Glee, Gossip girls, Alcatraz and my all time favorite... TVB HK drama!!

This is the HK TVB drama that I'm currently watching...

L'Escargot 缺宅男女

Synopsis

Renovation contractor KWAN KA-ON (Michael Miu Kiu Wai) is the elder of four siblings, while his wife SZE LONG-KIU (Sonija Kwok) is a typical housewife. Buying a house is their longtime dream. But when his eldest brother, KWAN KA-HONG’s business goes under, they shelve their plan to help him overcome his difficulties. KIU has to look for a job too. Unwilling to see ON shoulder the burden on his own, KWAN KA-LOK (Linda Chung), the third of the siblings, turns to her supervisor GAO WANG-CHIM (Michael Tse) for assistance, resulting in her taking part in an indecent proposal. Her boyfriend, TING KOON-FUNG (Ron Ng), breaks up angrily with her when he finds out about their affair. KWAN KA-WING (Him Law), the youngest of the four, prefers spending to saving and decides that he will in no circumstances help in the service of the mortgage. The family dream of buying a house turns out eventually to be a nightmare that never ends

大哥關嘉安(苗僑偉)為裝修判頭，妻子施朗翹(郭羨妮)為典型的家庭主婦，二人日夜勞碌只求一個安穩的家，但嘉安為救生意失敗的二弟關嘉康(梁烈唯)渡過難關，除了把置業計劃一推再推，朗翹亦受牽連做回上班族；三妹關嘉樂(鍾嘉欣)不忍加重大哥的負擔，唯求助上司高宏瞻(謝天華)，孰料演變成一場不道德的交易，男友丁冠峰(吳卓羲)怒然提出分手。至於屬於「月光族」的四弟關嘉榮(羅仲謙)則不甘受束縛，寧願薪金月月清也不願承擔買樓的責任……最終，安居置業成了關家一場永不完結的惡夢。

I feel that this drama is exactly what we young couples are encountering. Getting a HDB flat is really difficult and beside having the heavy burden of servicing the loan and renovation. Watching this drama makes me realized that we are really lucky that we managed to purchased a flat within our first try!!

Jia You!!

My next milestone of my life!

Balloting for a HDB flat!!!!!!! Both my bf and I went to try our luck for the Jan'12 balloting exercise with the intention of balloting for Choa Chu Kang. But somehow something changed my mind and I asked if my bf would like to consider Sengkang, Fernvale Lea instead since March'12 ballot exercise will have BTO in Bukit Panjang.

He said that he fall in love with the artist's impression of Fernvale Lea and have been living in the West side of most of his life, he's ready to shift to the East area! So we submitted our application and paid the $10.
Just 4 weeks and we received an email......

Our que number of 4 room flat at Fernvale Lea is 90!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My jaw just drop when my bf share that information with me! We are so lucky... I have known friends that have been trying to ballot for more than 10x and yet still couldn't get a decent que number!!

Well, I could just say that we are damn lucky! And of course, we have to work extra hard now that we have this 1 big purchase off our list!!

Next goal for this year... hunt for a Bridal Shop!

Feburary is here!

So fast we have come into the 2nd month of Year 2012. This month is going to be real exciting cause...

1. It's our 1 year anniversary this Valentine's Day
2. In Jan'12, We balloted for our first BTO exercise in Sengkang! Most likely going to received their letter in Mid Feb to see if we do get a chance or not.

As for our BTO in Sengkang, apparently we have a high chance of getting the flat but alots of review were saying that Fernvale Lea has the worst location among the rest of the BTO in Jan. Which explain the least applications received. Well, If we really do get this flat, than I'll just have to pray hard that in the next 5 year, HDB is going to build more shopping centers and eateries nearby!

This year's valentine's day falls on a weekday.. so probably not much program as bf wants to save the $$ into our wedding / flat piggy bank. Plus he has to teach primary school in the morning so most likely no short getaway or stayvaction!

Though of going to see the Titanic exhibition at Marina Bay Sands.. Hmm.. got to discuss with him again.. And as for present, I asked what present he wants? He replied, "Hmm.. Nothing"
Well, not sure what I want to give him too! Guess I have to crack my head!
