Solemnisation #5 - Wedding gift

Deardear bought me this to commemorate our solemnisation.

Our new house #6 - Slippers

Blame it on the weird habit of washing my feet. I decided to get a pair of slippers to prevent rheumatism and to save water.

Our new house #5 - A waterfall

Jurong Birdpark had a man-made waterfall. So what?
We stay in a HDB flat, we have a natural waterfall!

Haha....actually it is due to the heavy rain this afternoon......LOL
One advantage of our flat is we will never be the victims of flood as we are on the top of the mountains.

Photos to be up soon

Am still waiting anxiously for the pictures from my photographer. :)

Solemnisation #4 - THE day!!! (Decoration & Preparation Part 2)

First of all, a big thank you to my pupils who came as early as 10am this morning to help out with the decorations in the house. Not forgetting Diana who went all out to help us to create the perfect solemnisation.



Diana in action - she actually went to Far East Floral to get fresh sunflowers to decorate the house. *Touched*



She went up the ladder despite afraid of heights

Finishing touches to the pen - the holder :)



My pupil decorated the guest book with my favourite wedding photo. :)

Penning down her well wishes


At around 2pm, a delivery man was at our doorstep, saying that they are delivering a mahjong table.




Of course, we had to test if it's user-friendly...LOL




The automated mahjong table - gift from Weizhou and Colin.

Solemnisation #3 - Gel Nails extensions

Spent $88 on these. Duration: 3.5 hours

Different reactions from different people:

Friends (mainly women): $88 is cheap!
DearDear: Huh!? $88 for these???

Solemnisation #2 - Decoration & Preparation Part 1

The colour theme of the solemnisation ceremony will be yellow, purple and black. With my favourite sunflower as the main theme, you can imagine how excited and happy I am.

Bought some fake sunflowers and put them into good use.

The Sunflower pen which I DIY :)

I love it so much that I think I will bring it to school after using this pen for signing on our marriage certificate!

Trying to get the positioning of the numbers right

A rare sight - Mr Wu getting advice from people.

A gigantic clock needs a lot of help.

Preparation in progress.



My pupils stayed till 8+ to help me out, thanks so much!

Looking forward to the actual day!

Our New House #2 - Paintwork

The first thing to do was to give our home a fresh coat of paint.

The men @ work, with "uniforms" invented & sponsored by Mr Eric Wu.

Cooperation is the keyword.

We engaged a company named Montella to put up wallpapers on 2 of the walls we wished to featured, one in the living room, the other in the master bedroom. Though we didn't have a good experience with them, we were glad that the wallpapers turned up well.

The wall in the living room, before the wallpaper.

The wall in the living room, after the wall paper. The outcome was a tad disappointing as the colours were too light and we thought we should have go ahead with the initial choice which is a darker shade.

The master bedroom, before the wallpaper.

The master bedroom, after the wallpaper.

The camera, or rather, the photography skills of the person taking the photo (that's me) did not do justice to this wallpaper. It is much prettier if you see it with your own eyes. We initially wanted to choose the pink version for this wall paper, but the pink version doesn't quite have the same effect as this greenish grey colour.

DD also gave the door grille a new coat of paint.
