Our eventful weekend

It is 145 days till our wedding.
We are in love.

We went out for dinner for Ashley's birthday. Sara bought a Kookai skirt and we went for dinner with Jo and Shuwen at Vinh Hong. We had a cocktail at 1907 before dinner :)
We are tired now.

We love to sleep in warm beds.

The invites are underway and being printed. We will have them in July. We don't know what they look like!! Hopefully they will really be nice. :s

love love love is in the air
and in a foot massage.

Terry and Anne's big day- us

Sleeping Together

Today marks the ideation of consummation. We bought a $800 queen sized pocket spring mattress from Bedshed along with a "Bambi" brand mattress protector. It will be delivered in October when we want it! We tried all the beds in Bedshed and Fortywinks, and decided on this Vital Posture Gently Firm one. It was on stocktake sale down from 1000.

We also bought a sake set for $15, with 4 different cups and 1 bottle. And I bought a few more random dishes to add to my collection of random dishes for use during serving dinners. I am really enjoying collecting these things. :)

Dennis has been sick for 2 weeks with a cold or flu with lots of phlegm. Surprisingly, I have not gotten sick from it as usually I come down with things first or pretty soon after. I attribute it to the exercise I have been doing more regularly?

We have just finished putting together the quiz that Rima and Michael have asked us to do and I am sitting in the study looking at my pretty Sake cups, all of different glazes and colours.

26 days to Singapore!

159 days to marriage!

Names for grown ups (eventually)

Philippa (Pippa) Tng sounds like a good name for a girl.

string

I re-strung Dennis' shorts today so he could wear it.

me: So if you didn't have me what would you do about this?

him: Er, throw away lor. Buy new one.

me: Then have girl how?

him: Ask honey to fix it lor.

me: Huh, like that ah.

I like it when the soft look in his eyes is saved for me alone. The muscles in his face and the gleam in his eye tell me what his fumbling words cannot- that I am for him, that he desires no other, and gives praise for the loan of my company for as long as life shall be. He looks so tenderly upon my that even I shy away at times inside, overcome by the love he shows. I am so grateful, and I can want no other.

Give heartful thanks to the great God who has made this be.

Sara wanted to say, "and sometimes its yummy."

We are going to Singapore in July to plan more stuff for our wedding! Wee!

That means endless eating, durians, or jian, chee cheong fun, chwee queh and of course, teh halia.

oh and green tea stuff.

We are hungry.

Anyway, our stops in Singapore:

1. Laundromat

2. Tailor for suit

3. Make up artist

4. Wedding photography

5. Dress maker

6. Printer - Invites

7. Hotel food tasting

8. Florist

It'll be a full on, non-stop, power packed trip back.

Oh and Sara wants to buy tank tops in Bugis. Dennis wants good ol' indian food.

I think Sara really deserves a holiday. She has been working very hard and its been very stressful. A nice holiday... yummy.

We've also put the land down and got a builder for our house(s), and chosen an architectural design and colours and tiles. But its far from finished! Pre-start is coming up. Its gonna be sweet as. Yes, sweet as. I don't know what, but it just is.

More updates soon!

Other than that, Sara has been wonderful. Then again, when was she not? She cooked vege curry for me last week and she's been really good to me. It is strange cause she is stressed because of her job, but she's made extra effort to not be grouchy. Not to be fake, but to not take it out on me. I am thankful for her. I do wish that I earned enough so that she didn't have to work, then she can work because she wants to. That'll be nice eh?

Anyway, we've been busy with church and cell. Worship, retirement village, community leaders blessing dinner, easter fair, mother's day outreach... a whole bunch of everything happening. Everything seems to happen all at once. But its good.

ANZAC day was a blast. We had a luxurious day of doing nothing that we didn't want to do. Feel like sleeping, sleep. Feel like eating, eat. Feel like laundry, wash. Feel like cooking, cook. There is joy in uninhibited free choice and spending it all with Sara. =)

A rectangle of dirt

As of the 28th of March 2010, Dennis and I now own a rectangle of dirt.
We are planning to build a house on it! :)
Our names are in joint tenancy, which means the entire estate goes to the other party should one be deceased. We finally have one thing in our name!
