Money is really the root of all evil. Haiz... At times, wedding preparations is making me kinda sad and disappointed. I can never have my dream wedding. Never. I hope to have my pre-wed done in Europe but I cant due to money constraints. Ok. I console myself that at least I have Taiwan photoshoot and a local photoshoot done by my dream company. I want to go Europe for honeymoon but cannot again because of money. Haiz... In the first place, I should have insisted on not wanting to hold a banquet which will definitely incur losses and end up having to top up the losses. I rather spend that money to enjoy myself in Europe or any other countries. I can also save money on signing a bridal package and actual day photography and videography. That's a lot of savings!

Initially, I thought doing the blogshop can help me to earn some extra income and I keep holding onto this very small hope of attaining my dreams. Haiz.. Don't know what went wrong and the partnership was a total flop.

I know I should never make comparisons. But whenever I see those awesome photoshoot done in Europe, I can only fill with envy. I just can't help it! When I hear people going for honeymoon, I can only blame myself for spending too extravagantly and not saving sufficient money. But how much exactly is my "sufficient"???

I can only blame myself for the wrong decisions I've made in terms of studies and job. Sometimes, you'll never know if you made the right decision until a few years later.

Dream

Planning for the Big Day + Flat

I am supposed to be enjoying the whole planning process for my wedding. But... The thought of budget constraint is just so sad. So couples out there, please save more money in order to have "your" perfect wedding. I am now in a dilemma. To engage or not to engage Lightedpixels for my local pre-wedding photoshoot. (FYI, I already have a Taiwan pre-wed photoshoot package). I had always wanted to engage them to Paris for my pre-wed PS. But its highly over our budget so dear dear suggested a local one instead. To engage??? Don't engage??? I know I am so difficult to please.

On top of that, HDB is really getting on my nerves. Its been 6 months since we applied for the Sale Of Balance Flat (Since Mar 12). To date, no news at all! Emailed HDB a couple of times to enquire about the current queue no. To our horror, there is no selection going on at the moment and there is only 2 5 room/ Executive flat left. Why is getting a flat so difficult when some couples just try for the fun of it and got their flats when both of us are really in need of getting 1 asap.

Probably I should put up the following suggestions to HDB:
- Include these fields in the application: 
       ~ Wedding date (so that they know the urgency of issuing a flat to those who are really in need of a flat!      
           In order to justify the wedding date, document like booking of banquet should be produced.)
       ~ Staying near parents? (I know they do have one which ask if your parents are going to stay with you)
          Obviously there must be a valid reason why you want to stay in that estate. For us, both our parents
          stay in the same estate that's why we want to get a flat around here.

Although there are people out there who also need a flat as urgently as us, but I believe not 100% of those who applied need it asap.

HDB should know that having a house is just the beginning. We have to spend a sum of money to renovate the house. Of course the renovation can be kept as simple as possible in order to minimise the amount of cash outflow. On top of that, we also need to set aside a big sum of money for our furniture and electrical which don't come cheap. So its really good if we can get a flat asap so that we can spread out our cash outflow by buying the furniture and electrical in phases to enjoy the maximum cash rebates from the different credit card company. Like that, we are not only able to minimise our cash outflow and cash rebates, we wouldn't come across the situation when we have to pay all together in a month. [Dear dear and I do not like to pay our expenses by installments].

Starting afresh!

Its been a long long time since my last update. Anyway, I have decided to start afresh on my updates so all the previous posts are hidden at the moment. I shall find time to screen through those posts and unhide it. :)

Life have been slightly different now. I have finally embarked on something which I have always wanted to do - A Blogshop! Got my sister and 2 other colleagues to start this venture. Do give us your utmost support and visit Pourlabelle. Currently, we have been posting new collections every 2 weeks! Do "Like" us in our FB and recommend it to your friends too!

Exams in less than a month time and I have been trying to find the motivation to study. :( I guess I am really tired of studying. I don't see much progress at the moment thus the thought of stopping ACCA has always been on my mind. My Fiance is very encouraging and I am really thankful for having such a great htb!
Shall get back to find my motivation to mug. Wish me luck and I promise to be back shortly!

Sleepless nights since Monday. I hate this. Eversince her arrival, I have not been sleeping well. Cramped and small area remaining for me to sleep. I am no longer a 3 year old who can squeeze into that space. How long do I have to endure?

This is not the time to question about my filial piety to you!

I hate you for shrinking your duty as a son. I look down on you!

Exams are finally over. Again, I foresee another round of disappointment upon receiving my results. I am crossing my fingers and pray hard that I can score at least 50marks in order to proceed to other papers. I dread studying, especially preparing for this professional examination.

Planned a list of post exams activities to be completed before I fly to KCH with dear dear. Completed most of my To-Do List. Next few days will be occupied with meet-ups! I miss those people whom I am going to meet. So many things to catch up with them. The next few days will be very eventful. Haha...

I am going to apply for a new job. Wish me all the best to be employed by that particular company. =)

12 more days to go!

Seriously in need to catch a breather. Dying of exhaustion soon. This company does not offer a single study leave or exam leave. Stressed to the max with only 4 days of leave. I can feel the tension on my brain, shoulders and neck. Actually, every single part of me is break down anytime.
