Love and Care

Just booked the church today for our wedding on 30 Jun 07. Yeps date is set. Priest has been contacted. It will be a 11.30 am mass followed by a lunch reception. where you say? Pleased to announce, to the utter delight of my groom, the venue - St Mary of the Angels Church at Bukit Batok (www.stmary.sg) - is fully air-conditioned. So is the luncheon venue - although we haven't decided on where, it will be a "cool" reception, if you know what i mean?

Hee... one more hurdle gone, btw have i mentioned we will have very capable helpers/photographers/designers from Sophia who will be there to help us along the way. All that's left is the caterer and the LOGISTICS part, which i will leave in the capable hands of his highness hao-e to think through and "settle".

Oh, and we attended 1.1 weddings today. the first was our sponsor's wedding at ctk. very beautiful and cheerful couple who were clearly enjoying their big day. when they recited their vows, i didn't feel like crying, instead i felt joy. haha.. different couples = different moods. Hope ours are as beautiful if not more so. heh... we gatecrashed the second wedding. it was at st mary's so we just popped our kay-poh bodies in and sat through the last part of the mass. then we popped our even more kay-poh eyes when we saw their reception at st clare's hall downstairs. beautiful hall it was (was expecting some normal church canteen, but i must say the architects did a very good job for this). so now i've a got a new option to consider for the reception.

Considerations:-
(i) size - Burkhill in Botanic Gardens would have been cool, but it is a bit small for 200. Asian Civilisations Museum fits only 150 - 190.
(ii) turnout - which is related to (i). turnout if venue was at church may be less than if it's held outside, cos we have many non-catholic and non-christian friends and relatives.
(iii) convenience
(iv) cost

We will just have to think it through before deciding. but would love to see the caterers' work at the various venues before making our choice.

Anyhow, good games on tonight, so won't be sleeping so soon. argentina later at 3am.

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
