Poor Dar, he has juz fin washing his boat in preparation for e photoshoot tmr. N laters he might still hafta go n shift the bike to Punggol n still laters in e nite, he has to go n fetch his aunt fr e airport. :( Told him 2 tell the aunt that he can't make it but he felt obligated coz he has already promised her... juz hope he wldnt b 2 tireds tmr...
We actually decided not to take pics w the bike liaoz due 2 e inconvenience but I thnk my photographer is q interested 2 take e bike so Dar was thnkin of juz bringing the bike to shoot @ Punggol instead of goin 2 Tanah Merah instead. Now is a matter of whether wana use his own bike which is a bit dirty or his fren's bike which is nicer looking but will req much more logistics in handling...
N we went for our dental this am... luckily it was q fast but the dentist say that I gota watch out coz my teeth is prone to decay :( So gota brush my teeth more diligently fr now on or else I will haf a cavity again :(( Went to haf lunch aft dat n then Dar dropped me @ Bugis to get the rings cleaned. N blur blur me happily walked into the wrg shop!!! So embarassing!!!
Me: Cld U help me to clean my rings
Shopgal: Sure
Me took out the ring box n handed over the gal
Shopgal(w confused look): U bought e rings fr LH?
Me(thnkin uber then???): Umm yeah...
Shopgal: Oh LH doesn't do cleaning service? (pointing to next door)
Me: Eh... this isn't LH???
Shopgal: Umm no this is SK (pointing to sign behind her), but we can clean for u also (she hurriedly added)
Me: OH... so sorry... n I zoomed out of e store!!!
Dar cldn't stop luffin @ me when I told him!!! Haiyoh, who ask them to place the shops so close 2 each other rites???
Next we went to pick up the gowns b4 I went for my mani/pedi. My mani was initially done by this china gurl but she wasn't confi enuff so she asked a more experienced gal 2 take over my mani for me n it turned out q nice I muz say! I added diamond some more so got bling bling haha. But the colours for my pedi was a bit brite as it didn't really turn out e way I want :( but i fig they will b hidden by the gown anyways so fingernails more impt :P
Hope it will be a brite n sunny day tmr... but not 2 hot or poor Dar n e photographer wld hafta listen 2 my endless complains!!! :P

Preparing for Photoshoot
The past few evenings/nites have been spent in preparation for our photoshoot. Went to my fren's place on Thurs nite to discuss the places that we would wana go for our photoshoot and I must say this (even though he is my personal fren), he is damn professional!!! He asked us what are the things we like to do and whether there are anything in particular we wana take w. (I understand that for most photographers, they would only ask the couple on e day itself whr they wana go) Then he gave us some suggestions as well & get it, on Fri, he went w Dar & his fren 2 recee the Tanah Merah area to see if it was a suitable location!!! We dicussed for almost 2 hours (well we digressed in between lah) before goin for dinner. So tentatively the places that we wld be Tanah Merah, Punggol n then nite shots @ Esplanade/Fullerton. He suggested some other places like Coney Island coz Dar can drive us there but we were afraid that the gown wld get REALLY dirty so we deciced to forgo it. We will be goin back to Punggol another day for our casual shots whr he will take us wakeboarding, hopefully together. Dar has NO confidence in me that I can stand up together w him... guess I will hafta practise hard b4 e shoot :P
Then on Fri nite, went to see the florist to kinda discuss about my flora bouquet. The guy also v pro worz; he actually studied about flowers in Holland!!! N the farnee thng was, e first thing he told us was dat he doesn't do tulips and I wanted 2 choose tulips as my bouquet hahah! But wat he said was true lah, coz tulips die q easily then they wldn't lk as nice, so I will be having pink peonies, euthasmus (i thnk) n champagne roses. Sounds nice :) will meet up w him again b4 AD. Oh I actually wanted daisies also... like brite pink n brite yellow but he said that loud colours wld take e attention away from me, unless I m dark like Dar... so maybe I shd go get a gd tan b4 AD haha :P
Following that we went 2 meet w a videographer which we signed up w although I wasn't too impressed by him or rather I wasn't v happy that he didn't give us discount although Dar was his fren's fren n he wanted 2 charge us for like extra hrs n blah. *blech* but his video was a little diff than e ones we have seen n we also told him some of e thngs we wanted so hope everything turned out well.
& last nite, we went G2 to buy some shirts for Dar for the photoshoot. We thot they were on sale but they weren't!!! aiyah... made Dar buy an extra shirt for nothing :( oh well... then we walked into Goldheart coz my Grandma gave me some $ to buy a wedding gift for myself n within 10 min I bought a pair of sapphire earrings!!! Was dat fast or wat??? It was a little over e budget but Daddy said it was ok to pay for it myself n Dar offered to pay for me. :) n e gd thng is, I can wear it for the photoshoot on Wed coz my evening gown is blue! *happee* *happee*

Last & First Day
I began my first day @ TB branch on Thurs. Last day @ NB went by smoothly and Dar was really sweet to buy & deliver e Don's Pies & cheesecake to me to save me on the $12 delivery charges. :)
Have spent 2 3/4 years in NB... how time flies. I remember how unhappy I was (esp coz I had 2 do cash n I was soooo clueless n I was scolded by the chq clerk!!!) when I went there intially & I told Dar that I wanted 2 resign but he told me 2 hang in there n only resign if I was still unhappy 3 months dwn e rd. Thankfully I managed to pick up & get used to their procedures and also coz I had a lot of help fr some of my colleagues. My tellers who although more junior in rank than me were much more experienced than me n they were the ones who told me what were the thngs to look out for. Of coz I made some mistakes alg e way n got chided by my boss but it was fr the mistakes that I learnt & became more aware of the bank procedures. For some reason, after some transfer of staff, e few of us became closer and we often planned to go out for makan sessions & had a lot of fun in between :) Luckily they didn't make me give a speech on Wed but my heartfelt thanks still went to them so I dropped them a mail the next day... m sure gonna miss them n I was v touched by wat some of them wrote in e card. Nonetheless I know I will still keep in touch w them n I will join them for their makan sessions hee.
As for my new branch, well, I didn't particularly enjoyed my first day there coz I was sooo lost and the pp there weren't v frenly. :( I was left alone 2 try 2 fig out wat their work procedures were (coz I was doing cheques n everythng was so v diff!) until the clerk came n she filled me :) She was v nice but v chatty n disturbed me a little but I was happy to have someone to tok 2 hee. But we ended a little late so I wasn't v happy coz Dar was waiting for me n I was juz like sitting there waiting 2 go home haha. Ystd was a bit better, e pp toked 2 me a little more n we went off a little earlier, hopefully next wk will b beta liaos.
Was also telling Dar that I dun like this apprehensiveness of starting work in a new environment and I gota do dat twice in 2 months :( Of coz Dar, being Dar, told me dat wat's done can't be done n I juz gota do my work, dun stress n 2 months will pass v fast. I was actually sup 2 go to Pte Banking by 9th July but somehow it got delayed so I wasn't v pleased hee but bo bian lors, I m looking forward 2 goin 2 Pte Banking n I hope that I can adapt there n e pp n e working env there will be nice. Wish me all e best ya! :)

Dashed
sobbie sobbie... thnk sleepy's dream HM of goin 2 Caribbean have juz "sailed" away :( It wld cost us abt $10k per pax if we were to go coz we were thnkin of extending our stay in either Miami or Florida after the cruise. Dar says muz save $ so he suggested goin to either Mauritius/Maldives, Europe or the Fiji Islands. The 2 "Ms" are ok I guess; n ordinarily I wld like to go Europe but it is too cliche n I thnk I wld spend as much what w all the shopping there hee hee. Juz googled on Fiji Islands, not too bad but what interest me were the Polynesian Islands of Tahiti & Bora Bora. If we go there, we can even visit my sis or my cousin (= free lodging haha) for our extended stay. But if we go there, I would like to stay in the "over-the-water bungalows" n totally indulge myself which I dun thnk is cheap either. :( sleepy has expensive tastes ya?
So Dar... can we juz stick to Caribbean??? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE :P :P :P
PS: all of u readin this (& pls pass it on 2 everyone else too) pls start saving so that I will have a HUGE angbao for my wedding ok? Thnx in adv! :P
