1 more month

Itz 1 more month to AD!!! *gasp* still like sooooooo v many thngs to do; the floor plan; confirmation of guests; AD prog; buffet lunch for our relatives; the montage and we have yet to decide on the songs and I wld like to attempt to make the ang pao boxes n the corsages for my "姐妹s". But have been rather tired (not to mention i caught a cold!) when I go home lately so dun haf the "energy" to discuss w Dar...

We had our 过大礼 n 安床 last Fri & Sat n it was q fun! Dar went to buy the bed n bedsheets all on Wed coz although I was off on Thurs, Dar had to work. We met in e evening to get the cakes though... then went home to finalise the thngs. Dar came over on Fri am w his sis n aunt carrying the huge basket of stuff heh. There were 24 oranges, 2 bottles of red wine (instead of hard liquor), 2 pairs of dragon n phoenix candles, the dowry and red packets for my granny, for the 海味 n e 小舅子. Dad n Aunt then returned them a pair of e dragon n phoenix candles which wld b lighted on AD, 12 oranges and 2 bottles of orange juice. Dad also gave a red pkt for Dar's 2nd Bro as he wasn't married yet. In the olden days, there was the "custom" of hafing to go under the trousers of the elder bro if he wasn't married yet.

On Sat, we actually wanted to do the 安床 in e evening as Dar had booking in the am. But it was cancelled so we decided do it in the am instead. Thus everything was in a rush. We had to go n buy the "Bai He"/"Lian Zi" n then Dar dropped me back home to prepare whilst Dar went back to fetch his parents. We had bought this "package" thngy fr a shop in Chinatown so Dar n I put these like 4 coins thngy on the 4 corners of the bed b4 Dar's parents helped us to put the bedsheet n the quilt. They then put the plate of stuff (2 red pkts of $1 coins, the "Bai He"/"Lian Zi" which we placed in another red pkt; the gold coin thngy n this sweet orangy thngy plus some other stuff sealed in a pkt) on the bed which are to be left there till AD. Some frenz were asking why we were doing it so early, well it is coz we didn't wana do it during the 7th Lunar Month mah. But that wld also mean that I can't sleep on the bed anymore so I have now kinda shifted to Dar's place to stay.

Which is actually q a convenient place coz I can wake up really late n juz walk over n there's the MRT... instead of hafing to walk out every am. But wateva it is, I'd still prefer to stay in my own hse :)
