Will be renting car in paris and road trip to loire valley and mont saint michel.. 2 days rent is more ex than 3 days.. weird.. same for london.. 2 days rent and road trip to southern wales.. hehe.. our budget is getting more and more with all these special stay.. *stress*.. anyway.. need to settle all by this week..

Had my last fitting last evening.. hehe din lose much.. so sad.. but EG will be altered.. slimmer waist :P.. it keeps dropping.. album reviewed and will be ready on friday.. my MUA cannot make it at 630am.. need to sort out the actual day schedule.. montage still on the way.. haven't decide on match in songs.. geeee still plenty to do.. OMG..

Itinerary

After few days of searching and researching we have fixed on the cities that we are going in 2 weeks.. between rome and venice we picked venice.. we dropped geneva bcoz of the limited time and ex flights.. the budget airlines (ryan and easyjet) fares kept increasing since last week.. its complicated and tedious to find and compare fares and routes.. but still my dear managed to sort all out.. thanks dear *pat*.. about 300 euro in total.. accommodation is next.. goodness the rates are even more scary.. peak season.. spring and easter *pout*.. kinda tedious oso.. as i need to check the location, rates and reviews of the hotels.. hmm mayb it's better to join tours.. but i dun think so.. still fun to do free & easy despite of all the troubles.. flexible and interesting esp when we got lost :P.. geeezzz i'm getting excited..

Paris (26-30 mar)
Barcelona (30-2 apr)
Venice (2-5 apr)
London (5-8 apr)

Honeymoon

Yippie.. after sourcing high and low for cheap air tickets and package tours for so long.. we have booked sin-paris london-sin by emirates for 2 at 2426.. depart 26 mar 12:30am and return 8 apr 8:30pm..

Was considering qatar at zuji and emirates online.. the flight schedules are not so ideal.. emirates online is better.. luckily i have been lazy and indecisive.. keep delaying on the purchase.. last weekend we went suntec to check out sa tours, chan brothers and asa holidays.. so crowded and super long queue.. we gave up.. then later at night found out that chan brothers was offering 750 fare by emirates at the suntec fair.. geeeee was quite disappointed.. then i found this fare from misa travel on wed.. booked sin-paris-sin online on wed night and next day the fare was increased to 780.. luckily my booking locked the earlier fare.. after many queries and verifications we changed the outbound to london-sin.. the airport tax is ex.. difference about 180.. but to reduce traveling time we decided on this itinerary.. so excited.. think more excited over my honeymoon than the wedding :P.. but more planning to do.. itinerary, accommodation, car rental, etc etc.. another 2 weeks *grin*..

Clash

well.. this 24th mar must be an auspicious day.. we are having service centre move.. call centre application major upgrade.. pabx upgrade.. so most of my colleagues won't be able to attend.. so sad but still i will appreciate those who can turn up..

Fotoshoot pic selection

It's ready and took us about 2 hrs plus to select our 25 pics.. hehe no extra pics.. it's either get extra 10 pics and negotiate better price or none.. somehow after many rounds of viewing (lost count) we decided to keep to the given.. well.. personally just not used to how i look after the makeup and styling.. dun think i look good.. so anyways.. i may appreciate it when i grow much older :P

Guo da li..

another task down.. we are glad to have mk as our mei ren.. accompany and help him carrying some stuffs.. she went trekking with us on separate trip to pelepah.. with him on vday with xtrekkers and 2 weeks later with me and another gang.. so technically speaking she knew us both when we first met.. and so coincidentally we all work at alexandra.. hehe we often meet up for lunch.. or should i say my dear always make effort to arrange lunch *grin*..

my mom invited the relatives and cooked lunch.. we have prima deli sliced cakes and cans of pig trotters.. 12 boxes.. 2 vsop.. 12 oranges with xi stickers..ang baos and etc.. only went bedok south and north to pass invitation cards.. all and all.. everything went smooth and nice.. *peace*..
