one month to go...

this is probably the longest I have not blogged in a while. I am not sure as for the reasons why I have not been blogging. maybe it had a little something to do with lethargy.or just plain being busy. or just apathetic. in fact it seems like no one missed me anyway.except for agnes that is.

our wedding dinner is exactly a month away today!
on one hand it can't come soon enough. so looking forward to the day.hope everything goes as planned and Agnes has the wedding she deserved in the first place.
on the flip side there is so much to get done before the day. the wedding cards will only be ready on saturday and then it is a mad rush to send them out in due time.
we are also planning a small buffet over at 182 on the day itself with friends and family.
I still have to source for 'brothers'. i was thinking of eugene,marc and ian if i can somehow get in touch with them. hasli and sin are out since AK needs them to be in the office. likewise for Poh.
Marcus is too damn far away in Melbourne.

agnes and the folks are also gonna meet up one of these days for some shopping.agnes did say they could shop without her if they wanted.

the wedding photos are ready for collection this saturday as well. we will collect the wedding invites and the photos on saturday.

seems like forever since me and agnes caught a movie.
movies i wanna catch:
- Beverly Hills Chihuahua
- Bolt
- Madagascar-escape to Africa
- High School Musical: Senior Year
- Quantum of Solace

Obama is President elect and we have to wait until January to see what 'changes' he will ring in.

The whole guy-jumped-into-the-tiger-enclosure-and died thing is not the tiger's fault. it is not the zoo's fault. it is not anyone's fault but the sick man who decided it was the best way to get out of his troubles.

getting used to driving Mazzy (to agnes: Mazy). a black car sure needs a lot of washing. sure did nt have this same problem with Sunny.

just heard the news: COE prices for category cars is ... get this... $2!!
crazy stuff. Pity all those suckers who recently bought new cars. Umm...wait a minute....

wondering about the bunnies for a moment. my dad seems to have gotten close to them all this time they been here. dunno how he would take it if they moved house in December with me when I go over there. be a pity to separate them...

Agnes and myself will be Oxford in July. so finally if anyone asks I can say I been to Oxford University! but seriously Oxford is such a picturesque city. I am sure I will enjoy every minute I am there. I just love history, scenery and culture, and Oxford has that in droves.

initially we were supposed to go to Chicago in March, but thankfully the idea was canned due to the date not falling within the new financial year. the trip would be minimum 18 hours one way if we are lucky. definitely not one for the faint hearted.

we plan to get an xmas tree this year for the flat. I am thinking a white tree, with yellow lights and purple decorations. or how about a purple tree with gold ornaments?? waaahahaaaa.. I know, I'm nuts. I am special that way.

did I mention Mum & dad traded in their old car for a Mazda 323? now Mazzy has a friend.

plan to get a double mattress for the flat soon. the thin mattress of the sofa bed is not soft enough for everyday use. little wonder that I do not get much quality sleep whenever I stay over there. but insomnia has always been a problem for me. pity agnes does not want us to use the King sized bed..yet.

Agnes came back on sunday from Montreux, Switzerland. it was barely a week (she left on monday), but was surely the longest week of my life. so glad she is back now.

the more things change; the more things remain the same.

to end things, pictures from Agnes's Swiss trip.
