Yes I Do...

12.05.12.
On a beautiful Saturday in the corner of a smaller island of this little island. We said our vows, exchanged rings and promised to take care of each other for the rest of our lives.
Whilst awaiting photos from our photographer, here are some from our dear friends and relatives...

Looking back, it was a busy 3 months of preparation for that 3 hours of limelight, but nonetheless, it was all done with a big smile and filled with happiness.
I initially had some reservations about the place, because our coordinator wasn't very responsive initially and we didn't get to view the room for a solemnization set-up prior to the event, neither was there any food tasting. But the place didn't disappoint. We checked in at 2pm and were greeted with a welcome note on a king-sized bed, a plate of fresh fruits (which I devoured before the make-up start), a nespresso machine (which I didn't really know how to use though), huge toilet with glass walls and sinking in bathtub and a tv screen in front of it! how cool is that! And not forgetting, the remote-controlled curtains that opened up to a magnificent view of yachts! Breath-taking!

The spread was excellent! Good variety and quality of cold appetizers, hot food, desserts etc, and the waiters auto-refilled any dish that was finishing. Love the lighted dining table and my blue roses!

I can't put it in words how the whole process felt like. Although I've been counting down day by day, and gradually building up the anxiety, until the night before, when I stared into blank space and it hit me with the "OMG it's tomorrow" feeling. On Saturday itself, morning we were making double and triple sure we have packed everything we needed to bring, then finalized the transport arrangements and some fine details like who to do what, how the march-in will be like etc. Then I constantly looked at the clock and finally set off.
From the time my make-up artiste and photographer arrived and the function room was ready to use (which was about 5pm), everything happened so fast, so much so that I didn't really had a good look at myself before we starting snapping photos. Then our solemnizer came at about 7pm, and shortly after he sat himself down and addressed the audience, I was given the cue to march in, before I had the time to realize "this is it". From there, we basically just followed instructions. I wasn't nervous but I couldn't really remember what I said! The whole solemnization only took a few minutes, too short to shake in the fact that "That was it! Done!" All those weeks of effort and money spent just for that few minute, but I certainly enjoyed the whole process and definitely have no regrets.
Now when I look at that cheeky boy whom I call my hubby, there's only 2 words to describe: 幸福．

When Tiggy meets Chicky

曾经骤然的偶遇

如今深沉的相识

至今后坦诚的相许
Our two additional VIP 'guests' for Saturday :)

No hen's night but we had a ktv night. Great deal from online coupon, worked out to 7 bucks per pax for 2 hours of singing, 1 jug of soft drink and 2 bowls of tidbits to be shared.

Reminiscing the times of cheap ktv in bj. Age is just a number.

Hello Panda

Enough of cheeky's unglam photos, it's time for some of mine :)

Last weekend as Miss Lin

One by one, the most unthinkables of Ms Legi is coming true. First is becoming a sinseh, though part-time, but it's hard for me to swallow the fact still. Next, is coming someone's wife in 5 days time! Gosh!
and so auntie legi and cheeky went household shopping on Sat at Robinsons and bought a snuggly Sealy mattress for our new home. Yes, 2 years in advance, super kiasu us! Cheeky is so going to sleep himself silly! We also grabbed a bolster that was love at first hug!
2nd consecutive sunday spent at the gym because the sun was too scorching for a run and I don't want to become a chao-ta bride. Last week I found my inner thigh and obliques, this week I found my triceps. Kinda miss the feeling of aching muscles after a workout. And as we were walking back after our workout (after a thunderstorm), we saw this:

New style of army truck?
Just as we were busy commenting how suay the driver is, an uncle walked pass and said "nevermind, who ask him to illegal park!"
See that summon ticket for parking at handicap lot? and that pile of jungle on his car? I guess he has learnt his lesson the hard way.

Never knew I could hate someone so much

Until I had to face that stupid old man everyday!! The sight of his balding head from my table, the sight of his freaking ugly car parked downstairs, the sound of him knocking on the glass window to call for meeting, and the ultimate - sound of his footsteps getting closer and closer, then pressing on my chair or kicking the things on the floor just so that he can get closer to my table cos his old eyes can't see shit! And when the big boss talks, he just nods like a pathetic dog and agrees to everything the big boss says like a pussy!
Doesn't he realise i'm not the only one, the whole office can't stand him. 作人做到这样实在是可怜！Ok, enough said, not worth it to let this kind of idiots affect my mood.
What a dumbo I am to realise I have 2 bottles of cough mixture underneath my table (samples bought for work purposes) only after my cough has recovered after 2 weeks. My brain has seriously shrank in size.
Yes, blogging now cos I have zero mood to work, and I have done enough for the day, or rather, for the week. can't wait for weekend! After next week, it'll be time to sit down and seriously think over my future career life, for now, let me just concentrate on becoming Mrs Cheeky :)

Sleep - the new way of dieting?

There you go cheeky, my sleeping handsome. Dream of those six-packs too!

Now I'll finally learn my lesson not to sign any packages anymore.
Yesterday, the manicure place called to say they've closed cos cannot get permit for manicure (or something along that line) and they'll transfer all their members to the City Hall branch which only does facial and massage. And of course, no refund for packages. Damn! means know I've to look for another place to do my mani next week and I'll need to walk around town area with my naked face? Ok, at least they still bothered to call everyone, poor girl doing all the calling.

Come this May..

Totally love the feeling of turning off my daily morning alarm on a weekday and waking up naturally when the sun is out. Sigh, looks like the next public holiday is not anytime soon, can only look forward to non-working weekends.
So Labour Day was began with a morning short swim, then ikea and giant with the monsters, finishing up the wedding invites in the afternoon and then ended off with munching popcorns and watching Avengers at night! (and now I have a big pimple popping on my nose!)
Ok, now presenting the final product of the wedding invites:

and this is how the card looks like:

Tadaa! Now we're kinda all set

And while I was doing all those, this is what was happening on the other side of the room:

like owner, like dog. Though I'm used to it, but I still can't help wondering how can one sleep so much.
