It has been nearly a month since my last update here.. got a shock when i saw the counter showing less than 6 months to our big day.. time really flies! Been busy with my new job trying to adapt to the new environment, new colleagues and learning how to teach well from my mentors.. not much free time in sch to blog, facebook, or msn like my previous job.. and my sleeping time became as early as 9.30pm so no time to blog.. i noe i'm a pig but really need my beauty sleep badly.. haha..
Our parents met on 4 April at Tiong Bahru Plaza Lao Beijing for dinner.. B and i went for a run before the dinner and we, together with my parents and sis, were 15 mins late.. B's parents and 2 aunts reached 15 mins earlier so they actually waited half an hr for us.. so paiseh! before the dinner, i was quite worried cos we don't wan to go thru the traditions so there's nth to discuss actually.. my parents asked us wat we want so tat they can tell B's mum on our behalf.. so in the end, when B's mum popped the questions, they jus say everything no need.. not sure if B's mum and aunts were unhappy anot cos we were late den when asked abt the bride price, cakes and other procedures, my parents jus say no need jus keep it simple for us.. but overall, as we ate and chat esp when the 4D results were out, it became less serious and light-hearted.. glad that it was over!
Another update abt our home.. we went to Lifestyle 21 home exhibition at expo couple of weeks ago and bought a coffee table at $620 including delivery charge.. slightly over our budget for coffee table but it's difficult to find something that we both like alot.. it is a black and round table with a piece of high pressure glass on the surface and 4 little stools hiding under the table which saves space and provides extra seats for guests conveniently.. the small table is suitable for playing some card or board games for 4 as well.. we oso bought an electric stove cooker at $1288.. big hole in our pockets! but the money is well spent, i hope.. haha..
We are slowly searching for other items for our home.. will be getting Simmons Beautyrest queen size mattress during the GSS.. saw a Kelvin Giormanni sofa that we liked but price abit too steep so KIV 1st.. we still need TV console and bed frame.. will be making a trip to sungei kadut international furniture centre to search for great bargains, let us noe if any of u r interested to join us on our furniture hunt..
