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!!!

Today it is back to work. Yesterday had been a fruitful expedition to buy wedding accessories and necessities.

In the morning, we paid respect to my father and my fiancee’s grandma. These are hard and happy times for us as we remembered the people who love us alot and yet, they couldn’t possibly attend our wedding. They can only look from heaven and give us our blessings. Or they can appear as angels in our dreams and guide us along. Or they may appear as a stranger and become our guardian angels, even for a moment, to make sure we are safe.

Yesterday, we celebrated that I handed all my assignments, projects and term paper. Could you imagine you are working full-time, studying half-time, preparing your wedding, and at the same time trying to adjust change of life-stages from a boy in the mom’s eyes, a boyfriend in my girl friend’se eyes, a single man and the little boy in my own’s eyes to still a boy in my mom’s eyes, a husband in my wife’s eyes and a responsible and committed husband to my wife in my own eyes?

Winter in Korea

I really look forward to our honey moon in December and how I hope we can fly to Korea tomorrow.

Actually for the past few weeks, both of us are already cutting out newspaper articles of travel fair. There are so many fairs lately. Chan brothers la, SA Tour la..another ATS I think…

In fact we wanted to wait for the NATAS travel fair in Expo in late September. But we felt it is really risky. What if we can’t book it then?

Planning a honeymoon is not easy. We really wanted to see snow and this is the first trip we are going together. We are going to make it really meaningful.

Normally, we knew there will be amny fairs around this period of time. This si when the travle agencies want to capture the markets for September and December holidays. Some agencies even offer Honeymoon package but the price is the same. They will give you some meaningless freebies like bouquet of flower, an album and a free bottle of wine. We are looking for REAL discounts like 20% per cent off the cost.

Autumn in Korea

This tour cost at least $4.5K and have yet to include the amount of money we bringing over as cash. It is an once in lifetime trip and so we are really looking forward to it.

I’m looking at the itinery now. It is really packed. We will be taking domestic flight to Jeju once we reach Incheon airport and only staying in jeju for a day. Then another day at Ski resort. Then back to Seoul. The group size is 44 and oh my…hope everyone will be considerate and not wait for each other too long…whatever it is, we are going to enjoy together and let me count the days one by one…so would you want to share me about your honey moon trip?
