Back!

We just came back from HK. It was a great trip. :)

Why we love?

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

-1 Peter 4:8

"We love because he first loved us."

-1 John 4:19

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

-1 John 4:18

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

-1 John 3:18

Photobook Promo!

Perfect for my album we took for our 1st year anniversary. Hopefully they have a promo for XL Book! It's would come in time for our Engagement Photos. :D

I did a photobook early this year as Vday gift to him.

Good paper quality also. :)

Booked!

So the banquet venue had been booked. And so do the big day. Time to do up save the date e-card. :)

He proposed!

Finally after waiting for 2 months since the making of my ring, he finally pop the question!

We had our dinner at Hog's Breath Cafe yesterday at CHIJMES. Though it is juz an excuse to pig out for 1 yr 1 mth 1 day anniversary.

After the yummy dinner, he insist we find a romantic spot. But missy jess dun wanna walk too much and keep complaining abt the stairs.

And so, he decide on a quiet spot and we sat and chat. Den suddenly, while hugging me from behind, he bring a box to me and ask,


"Nah, you want?"


(-________- |||||||||||||||)


NO! OF COZ NO! IDOIT! NO FLOWERS! NO KNEELING! NO HAVE THE BIG QUESTION! OF COZ NOOO!!!!!

So I made him kneel down, say the classic "will you marry me" and snap some photo before saying yes! :p

Eh. I think I will just look past the flowers... Since he is as cheapo. But I still love him the way he is. :)

kana force!


Ring sitting happily on my finger now. :)

*side note: he mistakenly asked if he can be my fiancées (girl) instead of fiancés! hahaa!

*Fun fact: He chose to proposed on that day & time coz.... 8/8, 8pm. Coz.... Huat, huat, huat! =.=


And so now, he had proposed, it's time to work our budget out for the event of our life. less den 17 months to go, we better watch our weight.

Polaroid corner? Guestbook?

I had been toying the idea of having a polaroid guestbook when attending Chris & Carina's wedding in Dec last yr. They had live! Studios to go around taking pictures for the couples.

This!

It is really fun! But I wanna do something more (w/0 shelling out another $3K!). Like a photobooth! And Ronald & Welly beat me in creative in April 2011. They did a FB's theme at their wedding, coz that how they met (maybe I should have a football theme). Their wedding is one of the best I had attended, I had so much fun watching their wedding montage and their setup is so nice!

Ah, that is what I wanna to do, coz it is soooo fun! But I wanna do something more then that! Esp for my church wedding when all the people are young & fun people. So I though I will have a back drop too! :D

Initially I wanna to have a black/white board for guest to write message on and take a pic of it. Den I can put them all together in a books. On 2nd though, I might not be doing so coz there is something magical about signatures.

One occasion, I was hit with the idea of a photoframe guestbook! It's look like it is pretty comment for the western, but I haven't seen it in Sg for now.

I guess I would prefer the photoframe guestbook idea. We could hang it at home to remind us the day which so many ppl come forward with their well wishes. :) But we will have to think it though again whether there is euff space for them to write! =D

For poloroid corner, I am still going for it! To spread the joy of camwhore!

Feeling good!

It's had been a fullfilling week!

Went to sign the lease of agreement at HDB on wed, so happy that I'm finally at step 2 to our home. Now just need to wait until mid 2013 or early 2014 for the keys.

Bought 4D on tis no. but boh tio. :(

And yesterday, we went to see our banquet setting, just nice there are a wedding dinner hence we go and see the layout. Overall, it is very simple as compared to Novotel. Somemore only 1 portable screen on stage. There will table that will be blocked, but we reckon there will be people more interested in the foods then the actual wedding. Seriously, I went to wedding b4 with my grandma, and I stare at my foods thru the whole banquet.

The only thing we like is the foods, I swear all the guests will wow by it. We spend all our banquet budget on foods & alcohols. And hope everyone will enjoy it. :)

Wedding Favor

"Wedding favors are small gifts given as a gesture of appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom during a wedding ceremony or a wedding reception."

-- Wikipedia

Confession: I get bored of wedding favors actually... It is always the same old things like coasters, shot glass, key chain etc...

I do appreciate the cute thank you gift, but sometime I tot are all these necessary? Too much of the same thing can be useless at times. Been the same old cheapo mama, I though... why not I give something practical and different? Something that people could really use?

In case u are wondering if the hotel provide. yes, they do. 2 pieces of chocolates. (=.=)

So thoughts come to my mind as I browse through the net, and I though of the possible gifts:

• Post it notes. (wad?? useful wad!)
• Pens
  
• Bottle of Honey/ Jam
• Sticky!

In case of excess balance... I still can take home and use...
