Yum Yum...We went for food tasting on the 5th Oct and we were happy with the portion & quality. It was really huge & we believe no one will go home cooking instant noodle on our wedding nite. However, we also decided to change the stir fry prawn to steam prawn for the freshness & taste.
Btw, this is the menu that we have decided for our wedding banquet :
Rasa’s Deluxe Wedding Appetizer Selection
Braised Shark’s Fin with Shredded Dried Scallops & Crabmeat
Steamed Chicken with Chinese Herbs in Lotus Leaf
Steamed Fillet of Snow Cod Fish with Black Beans, Garlic and Soya Sauce
Steamed Live Prawns with “Hua Teow” Wine
Sea cucumber with lingzhi mushroom & broccoli roses
Fragrant Rice with Chicken & Chinese Sausage in Lotus Leaf
Red bean paste with lotus seed and Tang yuan
A month that we spent most $$$$$...
31st Oct is the last date to buy Sims Drive flat... Been praying hard that we can get a unit there. After viewing 20 units there & closed to buying/offered 5 units, finally we bought 1 unit on 12th Oct! Well, it is not very cheap neither expensive as God knows our budget and constraint. The block is near to bus stop and not very far from Aljunied MRT station. The condition is pretty ok but of coz need to clean up the house & do some painting then we can move in. We also managed to negotiate with the owner to let us take over the key earlier so that we can do up the renovation. So now pray that the transaction and process will be smooth then we have a place to stay on our wedding day!! :-)
Our furniture
We bought our mattress - king size and bed frame from Bedding Saloon. The mattress brand is Simmons & it cost us a bomb! Anyway, next thing that we have to buy is the basic furniture & neccessities for the flat. As it is temporary house for us, we do not want to spend a big bomb on the furnitures. Hence, we come up with a budget of $1500 to buy basic things like dining table, tv console, fridge, washing machine, etc etc... long list of items to be mentioned here. As we are limited by $, so we started to explore second hand stuffs. There are many cheap & interesting things that Debbie found from the forum & yahoo auction! ;-)
So far, we have bought a dining table + 4 chairs, tv console & reserved fridge, sofa & computer table! What else is missing..... fan, washing machine, a few more on the list & we r done!... pictures are available at our website @ debbieandairrence.myphotoalbum.com :-)
Our pre-wedding photo album
We are supposed to collect the album early this month but was delayed because the layout designer did a poor job for the first draft. We were very disappointed & have to make several call on the phone to tell the designer on what to amend and guide her step by step. After 5 amendments & 2+ weeks, finally we got the layout confirmed & are happy with it. So finally now can send for printing and wait for collection in early Nov! Check out the digital copy @ debbieandairrence.myphotoalbum.com :-)
Our first car
Well we have never spent sooo much $$ in our life.. ..After much discussion & analysis, finally we decided to buy a car! Well, we bought a cute car to start off, which is Honda Fit. Prior to that, we went to showroom in LengKee Road to see Subaru imprezza, Toyota & Honda Jazz... Then we proceed to the carmart in Ubi & visited a few PI(Parallel Importers)... Finally, we went to Turf City & bought the Honda Fit from a PI there!
Stressed....
Originally our plan is that we will receive our wedding invitation by end of this month then we will proceed with the distribution of card in early Nov.... BUT due to the stupid haze, our cards are stuck in indonesia.... We only managed to get some help to fly back 50% of the card but the envelopes were missing so also cannot post out..... Sigh.... Now have to pray for miracle that someone or friends are going over to indonesia to help to bring back the remainding cards & envelope! Stressed.... :-(
Completed Tasks
Finally Debbie has managed to finish 9 corsages & decorate the 2 flower girl basket. It took her several nites to fold & stitch the ribbon roses and sticking the feathers & make it look nice. ;-) Hope the 'sisters' will like it!
