Quick Check

with 3 days' off time this week, i finally got to work on (part of) the wedding plan.

managed to finalize our makeup artist, car rental and solemnizer (Ms Jennifer Lim). started working on the actual day's schedule too. phew.

and today, we collected our health screening results then Poppy made a trip down to the restaurant to meet Suzanna, while i head to work, to confirm the menu and details for the invitation cards.

now we're left with booking of our solemnization date with ROM and the accommodation for my relatives, together with, discussion of our package with the bridal shop (incl gown/suit + car decor + hand bouquet + jackets for our dads + dresses for our moms), photographer/videographer, wedding cakes and items for the customary.

that sounds like a whole lot, doesn't it?

i'm really starting to panic.

meanwhile, Custard's adjusting well, but she's be mewing a lot more recently. sometimes she stops after being fed, other times she just continues mewing. we've scheduled to bring her to the vet on Monday, just to make sure she's all well.

Custard's getting pretty pesky nowadays, she will mew and behave coquettishly so that she gets carried to my lap where she will nap and get back-rubs. she even mews disapprovingly when i shift or move my legs! and now, she has the audacity to jump onto and nap on the sofa, despite disapproving sounds we make. she's practically the queen of the house. haa.

alright then, more updates will after we visit the bridal shop next weekend.

till then, tata...

Custard ♥

Custard came home with us on Saturday

the furkid barf-ed twice and pooped once in the carrier during the ride home

(she must've had motion sickness)

but all's well now

and she's settling very quickly into our home

she's extremely vocal and mews loudly when we put her in the cage at night as if she were crying

we ♥ her to bits

Ka-ching $$$

all my online cat supply orders were delivered on Friday,
and yes, that meant i could fetch Custard home the next!

headed home after work on Saturday morning, got changed and set off for our premarital health screening.
for those of u who are keen, we took the Love Series - $200 (female), $180 (male) or $360 (couple) at Dayspring in Paragon.

we had to starve ourselves fast the night before, and as soon as we were done, we headed to Lucky Plaza in hope of getting a yummy sharks fin meal. but alas, it wasn't going to be opened till 11.30am. bah. we grabbed some random nom at the food court instead.

picked Miss L up at her place on our way to Mrs Wong's.
so exciiiiiiiited!
i recognized Custard right away as she snoozed away in her rattan basket.

played around with other kitties, Stripes was really sweet too but Mrs Wong discouraged me from taking her coz she's pretty old already.
and yes, so we picked Custard, who curled herself around us.
we did the necessary paperwork, picked up her Pee Wee litter and some Royal Canin, and headed back home.

she appeared extremely uncomfortable and scared in the car, then barfed twice and also pooped in her carrier during the ride.
gave her a quick wash once we were home, set up her litter tray, played around a bit then she slept most of the day away while we scooted off to the Natas fair at the Singapore Expo.

combed the entire area carefully, queued, enquired, compared.
and finally we decided to take up the "13D Western USA" package with JP International and forgo Hawaii after much dissuasion from various agents. a pity, but i'm sure the many factory outlet visits will help me forget about the beaches. hawhaw.

though the queue and crowd was mad, the packaged tours were generally cheaper than non-sale days. we saved about 300 buckaroos (per pax) for ours, and of coz we got ourselves a nice 24" hardcase trolley luggage by charging part of our fare to my HSBC credit card (pity, the camera was fully redeemed already). yippey.

originally, we wanted to pay in full to get another 20" cabin luggage, but decided ,with 2 huge luggage at home plus another hardcase one we just got, we've no use (and space) for that anymore. of coz, various credit card companies had similar promotions including UOB, Citibank, DBS, OCBC, Maybank and RBS.

February's been a extravagant month, and my ang bao money have long been gone.
March is time for saving up, hopefully!
(gotta chalk up for reserves for shop-shop in June at the US factory outlets. mwahaha.)
