Fast Forward...

Based on the last entry, I'm sure you'ld realised that there has been a bit of a time lag from our engagement till now, so I'm going to try and get things up to date in this entry.

From July - Sept, we basically just enjoyed our new status as fiance and fiancee. Attempts to apply for a HDB flat have been unsuccessful so far. We've been trying since the beginning of this year so it's quite a bummer. We're now considering resale instead but the crazy property boom is making things quite difficult for us. I've also had to get used to wearing a ring practically all the time. Some horrible friend commented that it's not my style to wear fancy jewellery all the time and that I shouldn't go against my style. Guess whether I heeded her advice? :P

29 Sept
We attended our first bridal show at the Regent and made a deposit for a BS, Ritz Couture. There has been a bit of fuss about whether we've been too hasty about it. Perhaps, but it was a small deposit and we liked the photographer's work and the gown designs, plus the staff seem nice enough and market survey has shown that people have been quite happy with their service. So we'll see how it goes. *keeps fingers crossed*

Oh rite, we also like the Regent so it could be a potential AD venue for us.

14 Oct
Our parents met up officially for the first time. We had lunch at Tung Lok Signature, everything went well. Everyone was friendly to each other, but it was quite strange sitting next to E and having to make a conscious effort to behave extremely appropriately (in conservative chinese terms). Not that we'll jump on each other or smooch passionately in public. Just in case your mind starts a-wandering.

And now, having done a spot of time travelling, it's back to present time and what have we done this weekend? I've come up with some potential ROM dates for next year, all of which fall within the mid to quarter-end period, so you roughly get an idea of when the next big event is gonna happen. But as usual, nothing is fixed and we'll just go with the flow, at least until I'm free to turn into bridezilla.

We have also started contributing to the bridal magazines market. And I have to say, OMG bridal mags are heavy! I weighed one of them and it turned out to be 1.6kg. Just for 1 mag! So that's my bedtime reading for a while.
