i love the picture above alot. through all the wedding prep and past year's wedding i've come to realise i love flowers! i like them natural and blooming.

it's been a trying week but we've been blessed by so many kindred spirits.

tomorrow is moving day at the office. we're going to a place on the second floor with high ceilings and curtain dividers. moving x2! this weekend i have to pack all my monocle etc.

i like anemones.



last night we went for another fitting and after dinner we went to our house. mingyao had been receiving the furniture. they're lovely. he set up the sound system and we sat in the dark on the floor with the breeze blowing in. someone was having a bbq downstairs. it was not noisy - neighbourly sounds in the distance. we walked through the house and sat talking here and there. on the way home we both drove to the airport - both didn't want the night to end. just for a drink, mingyao says. and we had a malibu dream each at coffee club and a tiramisu cake - i knew you wanted cake, he says.

today i went to send ying off with the other girls. so grown-uppy walking through the departure gates with her hew husband to a new land - christchurch in england. beautiful. i bought her a bar of chocolate - cos ying is always hungry. haha. we went downstairs where danny had his breakfast before they sent me to meet mingyao and we drove to jm floral to see shan and daniel's florist for some dinner decor arrangements. we dropped by balestier to buy bathroom hooks (i'm getting better at bargaining - always bargin!!!) and bought a green bean tau sar piah each which we ate after lunch. that was so good. after marriage prep class we went to park mall to collect a special something. mingyao has a good eye. it's great we love the same things.

we had dinner at ee jie's house. mark and ee jie cooked us a nice dinner.
It's Amazing by Jem


Do it now
You know you are
You feel it in your heart
And your burning and wishin

At 1st wait,it won't be on a plate
Your gonna work for it harder and harder
And I know cause i've been there before
Knockin on door with rejection (rejection)
And you'll see cause if its ment to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

[Chorus]
It's amazing its amazing all that you can do
Its amazing it makes my heart sing
Now its up to you

Pactents now frustration in the air
And people who dont care
Well its gonna get you down
And you'll fall (fall)
Yes you will hit a wall
Get back up on your feet
And you'll be stronger and smarter

And i know i've been there before
Knockin on door wont take no for an answer
And you'll see cause if its ment to be
Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

[Chorus]
It's amazing its amazing all that you can do
Its amazing it makes my heart sing
Now its up to you

two weekends before our wedding we are going to see the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra play. mingyao bought us tickets - some alone time for us without thinking/talking/breathing wedding prep, he says. i love how he plans these dates for us when we are busy with stuff, like house planning the other time. he makes a great date planner. i'm gonna learn from him.

my dad is awesome. he folded and tied the ribbon for all my hotel wedding invites. all 250 pieces.

today my sis was going to meet me at the mrt station to pass me the new modem. she came by later to pass it to me. that and a chicken sandwich. yay!
