3 weeks to go before my marriage!

by Charles on 31 December 2008

Hi guys. Thanks for giving me your blessings in my blog and my twitter.

Just wish to show my appreciation to all of your blessings:

Azmi Jahan: He’s Sunny I met at desinotes.com. A real sincere guy I have met so far in blogosphere who was willing to sell his money-making blog at a very low price just because he wished to concentrate in his studies. I have not regretted to have met him when I first started my own blog here. Thanks for being my blog friend!

He was asking me what my ethnicity and religion is. Ok, I am Chinese, and my dialect is Teochew. My family religion is Taoism (sometimes mixed with Buddhism too). but I have converted to Christian quite a few years ago.

My marriage will be following my family religion due to filial piety, and also because my wife-to-be is a Buddhist.

Requested from Sunny, I will try to work out something on my blog, my flickr, my twitter, my YouTube and my qik to show all of you how weddings are held in Singapore. :)

Used Trucks: I have not met this person before. But he has contributed a fair bit of comments in my blog. Thanks so much! Most noticeably, thanks for giving me your blessings.

@MikeChoy: Another guy I have just met on Twitter who gave me his blessings. According to his profile, he’s an expert in nutrition and weight loss from Kuala Lumpur Thanks so much for your blessings!

@markdavidson: This guy is awesome! I can always find him to chat on twitter whenever we bump on each other! I think his free Twitter secrets has gotten him more than 5900 followers! Thanks so much for your blessings!

My wedding preparation

There are a lot to prepare! I am tidying up my room to welcome a new person. My room will now accomodate two persons’ things! Because of that, I have to sacrifice one bookshelf! I have two with me.

This is one bookcase I have just cleared. See that cable in between? That’s my laptop cable. Please ignore that! :) This bookcase will be thrown out! :(

Oh no! Where should I keep the books on the floor?

This is my 2nd bookshelf which I have packed with my books. I am STILL CONSIDERING whether I should throw away this bookshelf also or not.

Next, I had also printed 150 pieces of wedding cards. I have always wanted to print directly on the cards when people kept telling me that it is impossible. Here it is!

This is the front cover.

This is the invitation message which is printed directly on the card! :)

Next, last Saturday, I have also ordered 42 boxes of wedding cakes to be given with the wedding cards. I ordered online from www.kyo.com.sg. They have quite a good range of traditional cakes. But the funny thing is that their online ordering system don’t work for me! After ordering, there’s no fulfillment. I guess Singapore is still trying to do online business. It’s a good initiative! Anyway, I called to fulfill my order and found my order to be lost! Ok, I guess this phone call I have made should do a better job. The person has lost my number after my order! In the end, I went down to the shop directly just in case. And the hilarious part is that the shop doesn’t know about my order! Anyway, today she called back and told me that she found my number and called me to check if I have ordered anything from her! hahaha! Good try! But I believe they can do better next time…

I have bought a wardrobe from Ikea, and was quite astonished by the fact that the removal of old Ikea wardrobe was not free when I saw them stating that the first 2 Ikea furniture are free. At Ikea, they did told me that it’s free but the delivery man at my house told me that there are fine prints that I have to take note of. In the end, I paid over $40 to ask them to help me throw away. My sis feedbacked this to Ikea and we are compensated with free Ikea meal. I felt really good about it! :)

Now, I am going to settle my queen-size bed with my wife-to-be. I tell you, I must get my own table and probably try to retain my bookshelves!

Status of internet review

I am now working on a new internet branding of myself as an internet reviewer. I have done up a new website with the help of my web designer. It has a pretty clean look. And I will want to focus on my internet reviews over at that page and blog more about my thoughts about business, life, marketing and such. Stay tuned! But wait till my wedding is over. It’s just the beginning.

Happy new year to all of you!

Thanks for reading this blog post. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am blogging about it. Keep posting your blessings to me in this blog. I will announce my next wedding update till then! Happy new year!
