Yesterday was Xmas eve and we started off our first day in our motherland unpacking our two gigantic lugguages.

Unpacking the dirty laundry, putting back all the toiletries, unused batteries and sorting all the gifts that we bought for friends, relatives as well as for ourselves.

Didn’t know that we started off at 10am in the morning and only finished unpacking at 6pm. When I look around me right now, there are still some loose items strewn around in different corners of my house, and not forgetting the clothes that are hung out to dry. (please don’t rain today; if not, my winter sweaters can’t dry.)

Below are all the things we have bought from Korea, Seoul and Jeju.

Though it was my second time back to Korea, this country has never failed to continue to amaze and intrigue me. A shopping paradise for ladies in deed and a beautiful place for an avid photographer to take photos.

Here are the cosmetic items that my wife bought from shops like “The Face Shop”, “Skin Food” & “Missha”.
There are also authentic ear-rings that I have never seen in Singapore. Not cheap though. At least S$50 for a pair…but I guessed it is the worksmanship that matches the price of the ear-rings.

We have just reached home from our 12 days Korea trip. It is our honey moon. One of the most unforgettable event that happened was we were trapped in heavy snowing (-4 degree celsius) with strong winds and we couldn’t get a cab back to our hotel. It was 2.45am in the street of Dongdameum.

I will blog more about my honey moon soon and so watch out for my blog. Meanwhile, all I need is a good rest…>.< good night

We will be off to our honeymoon till 24/12 (Sunday). My apologies for not able to blog till then but I promise to come back with more stories…

In fact, I have better posts for all of you when I return:

1. Will post a wedding schedule template after I tidy up mine. It will have columns on exact things to do and columns to reflect “who to do what by when and what is the quantity of the items”

2. More negotiation techniques to get more perks from hotel. How we manage to get FREE CORKAGES FOR ALL 40 bottles of wine and 2 HELPERS’ ROOMS instead of 1.

3. Things to look out for as a bride/ groom during the wedding day PLUS HOW TO Check our emotional state so that we stayed calm and pretty/ handsome.

Sorry, I really need to go. Yet to pack my lugguages and I still need to make a trip to Chinatown (People’s Park Complex) to exchange money.

The current exchange rate is about S$1 = 600 korean won.

Bye for now….do come back to my blog for more updates >.<
meanwhile best wishes for ALL December grooms and brides!!!

The last post that I had was done 2 days ago. The anxiety, excitement and nervousness that I had was hard to be described. The feelings that was swarming inside gave me another sleepless night.

On 10/12 (Sunday) 3am, I was still awake. Still tossling in bed at 3.45am. Oh my, I am going to look like a pand groom. @.@

At 6.25am, 5 minutes before my alarm clock rang, Normally, I have the tendency to try to sleep till even the very last few seconds. Today was different. I immediately woke up even though I still have about 5 minutes more.

I saw all the lights on the house. My mom was busy preparing setting up the “dragon and phoenix” candles, making tea and cutting the cakes for breakfast for us as well as the guests.
I quickly bathed and get dressed up by 7am. My first brother arrived at 7am. Subsequently, all arrive by 8am and we had a shot before we go out.

Now is 6.55pm…my heart is throbbing…hehe…very excited about tomorrow…it is going to leave a deep impression in my life…50 years down the road and when I remembered this day, how will I feel?

When I was waiting for my bus at a bus stop, I saw a grandpa massaging a grandma’s hands while they were waiting for their bus. My thoughts were…”they were very sweet!” and “Would I do that for my wife at that age? … I believe I will.”

At 3pm, I was at Junction 8 buying an extra white long-sleeve, a bottle of hand-wash and a red tie. It was very rush. I had trouble getting the tie ebcause not many shops sell ties. G200 was selling tie at $49 each!!! Seiyu was selling at $23.20 after 20% discount. So I bought it from Seiyu.

At 6.30pm, I had collected my flowers from the studio, 4 corsages and car ribbons for 4 cars.

1 medium bouquet of flowers for groom to bring to bride in the morning.
2 corsages were for me, in the morning and night.
the other 2 are meant for my father and since he is up there in heaven, I will give the 2 corsages to my fiancee’s parents.

My mother’s dress had a big flower. So, she doesn’t need.

Suddenly, I remembered I still need to give the hotel our bridal car-plate number. A few guests pulled out last minute due to some unforseen circumstances. I really hope that they can come.

To P: Not to worry that you can’t come. You can come to our gathering in one month’s time, ok? rest well.

To Q: If you are reading this, it shows that you are still concerned over Ju’s wedding and wantt o be updated. We still keep your seat open and hope you can come to attend our wedding. You mentioned you will be there for Ju and this is the most important time that she needs you. Eventually, the decision is yours to be made. Wedding management has caused some misunderstandings and we also don’t want things to turn out this way. Remember your seat is still kept for you…because you are Ju’s good friend. >.<

I got to stop now as I need to go for a quick dinner. At 8pm, I would need to type my speech for tomorrow. Hope I won't blush or get too excited. I can do it... "a speech to thank everyone >.<

It is a mixture of feelings. At this point in time, I’m still rushing to do last minute’s stuff.

I just did a check at my closet and realised that I’m short of a red tie and a white long sleeve shirt. And I still need to get another bottle of hand-wash for my toilet.

I’m really glad and grateful that my mom has been helping me alot. Normally, it is really hard for Chinese to say “thank-you” to to their parents. The gratitude is still kept inside their hearts. Here, I want to thank my mom for helping me… really alot…from ironing my clothes, running of errands to calling of my relatives and other guests.

Straight after this post, I still need to help out with house chores such as vacuuming and mobbing the floor…

And very importantly, my speech in English, Mandarin and Cantonese…Oh dear…oh my…. >.< panic panic…
