48 hrs and counting

In less than 48 hours time I am gonna have to say goodbye to singlehood,and hello to married life. It is just surreal if you thin about it. But the thing is we have hardly had time to really sit back and think about it. Agnes has been like super busy with her school stuff and all. I been busy too with preparations. With the bedok flat taking up our time, together with the marriage preparations, we been rushing around getting things in order and making every attempt to get things in place. So in short, we had not had the time to really think about our marriage.

On the other hand Agnes been thinking alot about our financial situation. She been having sleepless nights just thinking about it. I even went down to allay her fear at AIA by getting them to print out my statements. She has not said anything further after that, so I am assuming she is feeling better now.

The HDB HLE came in the mail. After consideration it seems we are eligible for a loan amount of up to $221,800. the flat we buying is priced at $ 227,500. As we are also applying for an Additional CPF loan it should easily cover all costs should it be approved.

Submitted my verification of my salary to HQ via despatch. Hopefully it will be returned to me in time to beat the deadline of 2 weeks.

Our 'mini-honeymoon' has been postponed indefinitely due to Agnes's pre-occupation with her school work. We may go at the end of the year maybe. Or maybe even before then depending on how she progresses. be good when it happens though.

Agnes will be taking up some part-time work. Which brings me to me. Wonder if I should do likewise. I just wonder if they allow part-time taxi drivers, or if Giant needs anymore cashiers/packers! Heh heh.obigood.

Eggy had a bath today. He does look cleaner now. Did the best I could under the circumstances. Now all he needs is some nice clothes to be ready for our big day.

Bought a yellow tie from Bishan. Initially wanted a zipper tie but could not find one anywhere. Curious that. Opted for a yellow one instead of the orange one I had wanted initially. Think it goes better with what I am wearing that day. Given up on the suit idea. Guess I am one of those that looks old in suits anyway. Have new shoes that have not seen the light of day since I acquired them when we were out shopping that day many moons ago.Also bought two sets of pants, one black stripped and the other brown-like. I was favoring the black one but now still deciding between the two.

As we approach Saturday, news has filtered through of people who will not be able to make it for our solemnisation and subsequent reception.

Crystin- somehow she figured it was not as important as her holiday plans.
Nat- heard about it today. not sure the reason for it.
Ana- she says she has to go JB for some physiotheraphy.
Jack- he is in malaysia on some church trip again. will return on saturday itself. says he will try to make it. at least he informed way in advance.
Mrs Pay- says if she does not feel well that day,she may not come.Err...ok.
Esoof- He has something 'important' on that day after work, so may not be able to make it.

Did anyone notice the new music on my blog?

Things we need to do:

- watch the new fangled fantastic four movie sequel
- go sentosa,catch the new light show, even the beach time permitting
- sign up for a marriage preparation course. Cos...AGNES NEEDS IT. or so she says.
- both of us to go for medical check-up. apparently it will suss out any health issues pre-emptively.
- evaluate whether we need to get a renovation loan.
- how about a furnishing loan?

Cant wait to take possession of our new flat. Then can start to plan for and do up the place as to how we dream it to be. As of now we can only make plans and imagine how it will translate into reality. but i believe both of us have our aspirations to how our dream home should be like. Let's see how we breath life into our home.

watersprouts

watersprout pics for today:

Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes - both are formed by air rushing into an area of low pressure, such as when cold air rushes into an area of warm air.

As the air converges, strong convection currents are formed and a funnel starts to form at the surface of the sea and extends vertically.

The water column in a waterspout is not drawn up from the sea but is caused by the condensation of water vapour around the low-pressure centre.

The average diameter of a waterspout is 50 metres and it has average wind speeds of up to 150 kilometres per hour.

Despite its appearance, water spouts in general are not dangerous.

This is because it dissipates as it grows closer to the shore as moisture is being cut off.

But while it is safe for people on shore, waterspouts can cause considerable damage to small boats

in the stream of unconsciousness

Less than a week to go before me and my dearest will be officially husband and wife...

....got the email from Billy regarding the reception... as it turns out it was more than the $600 quote he gave us the last time. more like $800 it seems....

Booked our flat.... not exactly the one we wanted...but close enough I guess....

... tomorrow we be going down to ROM to settle some stuff.... and then maybe Dome... and ...

.... ann/anne seems nice and fun...like her....but what is that above her upper lip....

.... renewed the road tax...

..... I have new shoes....

... next week send Sunny for servicing...

...wonder if we still going Perak end of the month or not...

... still no tie...no jacket...

.... need a haircut....

.... to go AIA check out how much I can take out....

.. agnes says,"no $$"... haiz...

... noel's blog seems wonky now... think his coding is amiss...

....... taxi vocational licence!...

.... the message today was relevant...

.... can't wait for the new cinema at AMK Hub to open...

.. wondering if rental is good...

..to loan or not to loan, that is the question...

.... think or think not.... there is no try....

.... marriage conselling..... pre-marital check-up..

..... Eggy need a good wash and dress for his big day

... mum and dad gonna pay for the reception on saturday...

...met Hui Ping.... still kinda the same, but different..we gotta go zoo soon...

....Watch Pirate's of the Carribbean:At World's End. I must say it was a disappointment to say the least. It was overly long and there was little plot. Worst of all there was no heart and no energy. Amazing when you consider it was made back-to-back with the second installment. Almost like night and day....

....also caught Shrek the Third...
.... think it also suffers from trying to hard and a lack of plot...
... somehow the magic and insider jokes seem someone dated with nothing really new or innovative...but at least it was not nearly 3 hrs long.. and still a fun movie to watch with the kids.

...next up:Oceans 13, Fantastic 4:the rise of the silver surfer,Transformers,Live Free or Die Hard,Goal 2,
