And finally, the wedding rehearsal is mine. It feels kinda unreal. After so many wedding rehearsals I’ve been to we’re such a well oiled machine that its like yet another one, the only difference being that I am playing a different role. A role I can do once. Regret I didn’t capture more of the rehearsal. So many bits and pieces I’d have liked to document but was kinda busy being the groom.. haha! We’ll let my video and photo guys do it on Sunday Saturday. I don’t think I will be disappointed!

Well I took some leave and did a pretty final clean-up of my room and picked up a very nice teak piece from The Helping Hand for $340. I really like the place and will definitely go back there to furnish my future home with stuff from there – plus I get to support a really good ministry which I honestly think we don’t see much when you’re in the more educated world.

Right now I’ve to clear out abit more stuff and move the chesterfield sofa over to the other side of the room. I’m liking it very much now! My mom finished sewing the curtains and they are all hanging from the rails now looking like they need abit of treatment from the steam iron.

No pictures just yet wait till my entire room is really done.

Had a pretty cute birthday party just now. Haven’t done a photodump in a long while!

Wow.. I realise I have random photos I haven’t uploaded. Thinking I don’t really want to post alot on the black hole of content that is facebook so here it is!

This christmas is even faster than the last now that I’ve been working a full year before. Its been quite a tiring year for me because I didn’t take many breaks and preparation for my wedding is in basically full gear. I have just a few more things to do and I’m all set to go! I’ve to go for christmas dinner at home! Have a Blessed Christmas this year

Today was a simple day. Me and YX worked.. then we went to decide on what the lunch gown should look like and then we headed over to Marina Bay Sands to meet up with family.

Got some sushi and a chicken leg for dinner, walked around the marina bay gardens thing and then went to Ikea to look for a table. We were really quite late then the staff were literally chasing us down the path to get out. Got a hotdog and some ice cream then it was back home for me! Getting nana to her art class tomorrow morning, gonna be a nice day..

I updated a little on FB that I had a few random thoughts about PRCs, my YX’s gown and ring engravings. Let start with the random:

PRCs in Singapore are really quite a topic. Most people hate them but not all. I just think their stereotyped behaviour (which has quite alot of truth) annoy me but that’s no reason to have the negative sentiment we have toward them. For one they are just a bunch of people who left their land to come here to find a better life. Their loud talking and exclaimations are really quite annoying but thats just who they are. In the same vein, Singaporeans are a complaining, kiasu another word for selfish) bunch and have just as many traits that annoy me. Most posts about them online are quite extreme (think toddler driven over by car.. squashing cute animals with high heels..) but it doesnt reflect mainstream society. Nobody posts “China man gives up seat to elderly on MRT” but that does actually happen. In fact that day I saw bangla (yes, by all means you may condecendingly disapprove of the term) help an old lady carry many bags of groceries across the road + walk with her. Now you might think the Bangla could have followed her to her flat and robbed her but I choose to think better of him. The world’s anicer place like that.

Moving on, yesterday I went down to Tanjong Pagar to get measured up for my tux and choose an evening (lunch) gown with her. I don’t know what the actual wedding gown looks like so DON’T spoil it for me. It was kinda interesting how long and far the journey to our marriage has been and how everything has been provided for. I think I will have fond memories of everything that has gone down so far. Basically we haven’t chosen the gown yet.. but we’re getting there.. haha

The day before on Thursday we put in the instructions for our ring engravings. Since the theme of our entire dating/courtship life has been God’s love personified in each other. It stands to reason that we would have nothing less than the great 1st Corinthians chapter 13 engraved on our rings.

The Way of Love

13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have aprophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, bso as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 cIf I give away all I have, and dif I deliver up my body to be burned,Some manuscripts deliver up my body [to death] that I may boast” href=”http://www.esvbible.org/1+Corinthians+13/#f1-1″>1 but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 eLove is patient and fkind; love gdoes not envy or boast; it his not arrogant 5 or rude. It idoes not insist on its own way; it jis not irritable or resentful;Greek irritable and does not count up wrongdoing” href=”http://www.esvbible.org/1+Corinthians+13/#f2-1″>2 6 it kdoes not rejoice at wrongdoing, but lrejoices with the truth. 7 mLove bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, eendures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For nwe know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but owhen the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For pnow we see in a mirror dimly, but qthen face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as rI have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Thats abit too much to be engrave on our rings so we went for a simple name and date and 1 cor 13. It was a tight squeeze but we like it that way.

Lastly, we’ve also done up our invitations now to actually fabricate/print them and address them to the whole load of people we would like to invite. Dinner food tasting is on the 29th November (if i remember correctly) so it’ll be just great!

The fiancée has finally found her bike! A nice Scott Speedster Contessa S15 from a nice Irish Guy at Nassim road. He was really friendly and told us he and his wife picked up cycling after a car accident she was involved in and never looked back. Heh, the house was really beautiful.. But anyway, here’s the bike!
