Dim Sum Lunch and photo layout selection

Arranged for a dim sum lunch with family at Peach Garden, Thomson Plaza and the queue was long... many of them were already waiting outside before the door is open for their dim sum lunch buffet!

Had our fill even though it was crowded, enjoy the photos!

Laksa

Spring rolls

Potato croquet (if I don't remember wrongly)

Fried wanton

Mushrooms

Vermicelli vegetables wrap 

Siew Mai

and I can't remember this, can't recall if I ate this too. 

Food was good overall, typical dim sum standard that you can find elsewhere. However, if you would like to have your dim sum craving fixed, I'll recommend this place as the selection is more then what is shown above. They have a buffet line for other food such as Chee Cheong Fan, soup of the day etc. 

Went ahead for our pre-wedding photo layout selection after lunch. I still recall that there were too many photos to choose from and both the photographer and bridal shop sales person had to do their job to ask us to buy the whole album at $x,000 amount. I'm glad that they wasn't pushy after we rejected them. As much as I would like to have those photo saved for future memories, I can't bear to part with my money! It was too expensive to buy and have it stored in my computer, even though it will be with me for the rest of my life.

The layout came out pretty well arranged and here's one for preview! 

Wedding preparations (Revamping the room)

We were busy reading the catalogues from Nippon and Dulux for the past few weeks and trying to differentiate between both brands. Selected Dulux ultimately due to the type of paint that was available and the range of colors that fits into the type of paint that we wanted. Besides choosing the colors, we also cracked our brains for on how to restructure the fixtures and fittings so that the bed and wardrobe will be able to fit in perfectly.

Took careful measurements of the entire room, the length, height and breadth for the bed and wardrobe before ordering to make sure that we don't get surprises upon delivery! Painting is the first step to the welcome the rest of the purchases :)

Chosen dark pink for the main wall where we will place the bed headboard and light pink for the rest of the walls. As we wanted to differentiate the ceiling and allow the room to be warmer, we chose light blue for our ceiling! We also matched a light pink for the windows grill and beige for the door in order to let both blend in with the overall room colors. The current color for the window grill was red and too loud with the new selection of colors!

Started packing and cleaning up 2 days before and shifted everything to the center of the room to make space for painting works to start! We are very happy with the end result, or at least I am. Not a pink person but pink makes the room warm and pleasant to sleep in.

Sister-in-law contributed the window blind and helped greatly in making the room a better place to sleep in without eyes glaring sun rays!  Since dressing table is needed as part of the wedding room, and we can't find any dressing table that is slim enough to fit into that corner, we decided to DIY! We added a full length mirror, put a small table and ta-dah, we are done for the dressing table corner.

Wardrobe arrived and fits perfectly! Aircon was the only problem that we focuses on during ordering as we had wanted to get in something taller, but got restricted due to the aircon unit.

Room is now ready and the only thing that is pending is our bed. It will only arrive a few days before wedding, just in time Guo Da Li (过大礼) and An Chuang (安床) as the bed cannot be used or touched once An Chuang (安床) is done. 

Baby Kyla

Say "Hi" to baby Kyla! Such a pretty princess and am sure daddy Martin and mummy Cheryl is so proud of their creation... So happy that everyone in moving into their different stages of life.

I snatched this photo from Cheryl's facebook! Ha-ha. 

So pretty, and she's only a few days old! 

Dreams

What are Dreams?

Part of our thinking or it is just an existence subconciously? Sometimes, 'dreams' can be very clear but sometimes, 'dreams' are just blurred as I am very sure at the point of 'dreaming'. However, when I woke up and trying to make sense and recall what was the dream all about, I am unable to.

Now, that was irritating.

Perhaps I shouldn't called it dreams, as they are all negative. I should've addressed it better, as nightmares!

Sadly, sweet dreams, doesn't happen to me. Argh!

Dreamt about me and him;
Probably too much negativity.

Dreamt you and her;
Probably feeling kinda guilty.

Thought about you and her.
Things are better, without me;
Be it work, outings, friendship or gathering.

Thought about you and her friends.
Things are also easier, without me;
Be it fun, invites, events or notifying.

Thought about my own choices.
All seems to have an opportunity cost;
Either this or that.

None belongs to me, rightfully.
Haha.

Moody

I've been feeling really low recently.

Not sure what was the reason but just moody.

Kept having nightmares with the past flashing through my brain every single or alternate nights. It is really tiring to have nightmares continuously with familiar scenes floating around.

I wished that I am dreaming of dinosaurs and creatures instead of the past.

Mothers Day and meet the parent session

After much consideration, we decided to arrange the 'Meet the parents session' along with the Mother's Day dinner and did our dinner and discussion over Thai Village at Kallang leisure park. 

Atmosphere started weird as the topic was being brought up but basically, there are nothing much to be discussed besides the number of table that my parents want, or any traditional stuff that Liang's parents needed from my side or anything that both sides wants for the Guo Da Li. 

Discussion was over as many things needs to be written down when wedding day is nearer and we'll just need to prepare accordingly. Actually, since we are paying for our wedding dinner, it seems like the number of table doesn't matter at all? Ha-ha.

Think we enjoyed the food and gathering more than putting focus on the wedding details. Most issues were settled as none of our side needed traditional practices. It was more like a 'do what is needed' then 'I need ...'. With such agreement, things are definitely easier for us as the groom and bride!

Continued with our own activity after the dinner with a little arcade time for the kids and then... it's movie time! 

Assumed responsibility

When things are done as a favor, it became your responsibility gradually.

How was this proven?

When favor was being done, there was no thank you. But when you stopped doing that favor or did it wrongly, it became your fault.

Hence, when someone places the fault on you, doesn't it mean that this favor has subconsciously became your responsibility?

Is this right for everyone or am I the only one making the 'Qoute' come true?
