The weekend that has just past is way too short!
Decided not to help my parents on Saturday as I really had some errands to run, yes you guessed correctly, running errands for my wedding. I love planning for my wedding but executing the plans made sometimes cause a big headache, especially for busy people like me. I have almost no time to spare on weekdays cos' I am just dead tired after work and meeting Darling will be like almost 8pm if he finishes at 630pm.
Last weekend's agenda was to go get my pair of heels for photoshoot, which is a major headache. Walking into common stores such as Charles and Keith, URS, DMK, Noda etc. will not get me what I want. The weekend before this, I took a short walk in BHG Bugis which I remembered seeing some really beautiful shoes while shopping for my DND shoes back then. Well, no shoes managed to catch my attention in BHG. Thus, the weekend's agenda...
After Darling finishes work, we had lunch and headed to town. First stop was Wisma-Isetan. Walked around, managed to shortlist one pair of heels. Before entering Takashimaya's departmental store, shortlisted another pair. And upon entering the store, shortlisted another few more pairs. Darling and I both fell in love with this pair that costs $388. This one of their bridal picks. So expensive but really super pretty and elegant! Well, decided to walk around further, to Tangs, to Isetan etc. before making a decision.
Before heading to other departmental stores, we went to take a look at Darling's shoes. He tried a few pairs and shortlisted one. Whilst heading out of the departmental store, I saw a polo tee that's quite nice. Asked Darling to try and we bought it! Received a SMS saying that there's a 10% off at TangsOrchard for selected labels, thus, headed there to check out further.
Looked at their STUDIO collection, not very much to my liking. Headed to Tang+Co, love their heels there. Was looking at 3 pairs, 2 of which are of the same design, just different colours. In the end I bought 2 pairs of different designs la, not cheap leh, cant get all 3 pairs. Happily walked out of the store cos' I had a 10% discount and a 10% rebate. That's like 20% discount!
Headed towards the men's section to look for Darling's shoes. He tried on 2 pairs from Hush Puppies and decided on one. However, that was the last pair, thus, we asked the staff to check if there's another pair at the other Tangs in Singapore. Luckily, there was one and the staff will get it transferred to Orchard and we will pick it up from there.
Agenda completed at about 5pm. So happy! BUT nowhere to head next. Yucks! I thought we would spend the entire day trying to find shoes we like and suitable for the photoshoot. Headed to Island Cafe in Tangs, and had an early dinner there. I had latte and Laksa, Darling has Indonesian Fried Rice and Longan Tea. Spend about an hour there resting our tired feet. I love the ambience there, will go back to chill again. Very nice and quiet place to chill and relax yourselves. I have some photos but it's not with me now, will upload again when I get hold of it. :)
After thinking for some time as to where to head next, we decided to head to Heeren. We remembered there was a beads shop there and we wanted to check out if they sell diamante or rhinestone jewellery. Upon reaching there, we can't find the shop anymore and deciphered that it has most probably moved elsewhere. Whilst walking out of Heeren to catch a bus to City Hall (our next stop), we saw the beads shop advertisement there and said there they have moved to Shaw Tower. Diao! We just came from that side. Being the lazy us, we decided not to walk back there.
We went on to take a bus to Raffles City. Our aim of going there is to find a box, wrapper and ribbons suitable for me to DIY it into an Angpow Box, for containing AngPows on our big day at the reception area. Went to J.Co to buy Darling's favourite Donuts! Afterwhich, went to Prints (our favourite shop). The colour Darling likes comes with design and we only like the plain one. After some time, we decided not to buy and walked out of the store. Then we saw another suitable box at another shop but it costs us $18. Way too expensive, however, the inlet for people to drop their AngPows have been cut out properly already. In the end we did not get any, because I am still thinking of how to get this thing done cheaply. Probably, for ROM, I might not even need the Ang Pow box because the no. of guests are minimal. Still able to keep all gifts into the pockets! Well... let me think about it.
Chilled for about an hour in Starbucks as our feet are complaining. Had our favourite Java Chip Frap. Afterwhich, decided to take a look at the wedding bands in Love & Co. Indeed, I must admit that they have all sorts of designs and patterns which we see at different jewellery stores. However, I must also comment that it's much more expensive and thus, not so worth it. Of course, all these are my personal opinions. Darling and I walked out of the shop, did not fancy anything.
Headed to food court to have dinner. I had my favourite Korean BBQ Chicken. Yummy! Darling said I was smiling throughout dinner and he asked me what was it that make me so happy. I told him... It's purely because I am enjoying the food. Then we took 502 home... It's a long bus journey but we always love such long journeys cos' we talk alot during these journeys. Really ended this day with a happy note!!!
20th April (Sun)
This marks our 9 years 3 months anniversary as well as marks 1 year anniversary of his proposal. This time last year, we were in Hokkaido, enjoying our Japanese cuisine, the cold weather, the scenery and the hot springs. He proposed to me in the hot spring. So shy! He used the ring he was wearing to ask if I would marry him cos' he did not bring the proposal ring to the hot spring. Somehow I knew he will pop the question on this day, however, I did not know exactly what time and how he will do it. Well, it's indeed a very nice place to remember. Tho' no flowers, no kneeling down, no proposal ring at that time, it's still a memorable moment.
Early the morning, I helped out at my mum's stall. Then head home and headed to the pool! It's been ages since I jumped into the pool. The pool was crowded on that day, with families in each corner of the pool. I was telling Darling next time we must bring our kids for swimming too. *Mother's instinct coming up, real strong!* After swimming, we went for a quick bite at Subway. Following which, I went for my manicure and pedicure and Darling tried his first time with the manicure. I am happy to do some maintenance for myself. After that, went home and got ready for blue Monday :(
This weekend, I will have to work no matter what. This is because my bro is attending his flying club graduation ceremony with my parents. Thus, I need to be at the stall with my youngest bro to mann it till my parents come back.
Look forward to another relaxing weekend...
