He proposed on 28 March 2009 @ 7atenine [Reads: Seven Ate Nine], Esplanade,
with a bouquet of my fave tulips and a 1-carat diamond ring from GoldHeart =)

Things to Prepare for ROM

Wedding Bands - Fairy's Inc, Cartier.
13 April: We went to Goldheart, LeeHwa, Tianpo, Poh Heng over the weekend to view. It's so hard to find one we both like!
16 April: Geraldine introduced me to a line of jewellers, probably will visit them end of the month! Jimmy's friend also recommended a jeweller that customises wedding bands.
17 April: Wanted to go down to the jeweller that Jimmy's friend recommended but I was too tired and sick to go. Been extrmely lethargic recently.
25 April: Found the perfect wedding bands! But we were in a rush to catch our movie so would have to go tomorrow.
26 April: We bought our rings! Would be collecting them on 30 April 09 =)

Venue - Peony Jade, Sheraton Towers, Tung Lok.. still looking for more
[have to be a place that serves Chinese Food cos my Dad dun eat western food!]
17 April: Peony-Jade's quayside restaurant, Art House, Space@Esplanade. Considered Grand Shanghai but they don't have any private rooms.
21 April: Considering Fullerton as well!
24 April: We had shortlisted Fullerton, Goodwood Park, Peony Jade, Tung Lok Signatures@ Central and Humble House@ Esplanade. It was a tiring day viewing the venues! PeonyJade looked good but the outdoor for solemnisation is bad cos it's super hot! The indoor stage had to be shared so it was lack of privacy. The private room was way too small. Tung Lok Signatures didn't appeal to us at all as the staff was not warm at all. We fell in love with the lovely Space@ My Humble House and we decided on it immediately. Tracey would be liasing with us regarding the menu and other details =)

Date - To be confirmed with Jim's Mum
17 April: Jim's mum would be getting the dates for us on Sunday!
Confirmed to be 28 May 2009, Thursday!

Dress, MUA, PG, VG[?] - Looking for Bridal Boutiques [shortlisted: Julia Wedding News, Sophia, Amanda Lee, La Belle]
13 April: We went to the Wedding fair last Saturday and spent 2 hours listening to Julia Wedding News. Sounds like a good package, but you never know. Luckily we didnt commit anything on the spot. I went home that night and researched on forums, I suspect they actually create fake accounts to "share" how good Julia is. So it's a no-no for Julia.
Marcus said his friend signed with Bluebay, so might be looking out for this instead.
17 April: Marcus' friend, Avelyn, had liased for us with Buebay. Now just waiting for more details of their package. Might have to look for an alternative for AD even if we decide to go with Bluebay. I kinda like Amanda Lee!
21 April - Will be going to bridal shops tomorrow and Friday!
26 April: We went to GlamourBash at Fairmont and it was great! Fashion show was nice =) The food was not good though. We signed up with La Belle couture, as Marcus and Joanne also signed with them and their feedback was quite positive. Their package seemed fair enough and Jimmy had a great time bargaining for stuffs. I think we got a fantastic deal! And I liked the manager, Kath and also the sales person, Francis. Will be viewing my ROM gown this coming week!! *excited

Solemniser - To look for after date is confirmed
21 April: will be contacting the solemniser by this week
23 April: We contacted Dr Phua Tan Tee and he agreed! He's the first on my list and I am very blessed to be able to get him. I was so afraid he can't and I have to invite others whom I am not sure about. Dr Phua has great comments and I believe it'd be great to have him to solemnise my wedding =)
25 April: We received the consent form from Dr Phua! I must remember to give him the venue =)

Flowers and Champagne
17 April: The bridal studio should be taking care of the flowers!
26 April: Yes, La Belle would take care of my hand bouquet!

Invites and Ring Pillow
17 April: Almost got the list done, just need to go through and confirm again + how should I do the invites?
21 April: Will be preparing the invites next week
26 April: No time to get the materials.. will be getting them tomorrow!

My nails - Will get them done with Dawn few days before the date

Shoes-
26 April: I'd need to choose my gown first and then get matching shoes =)
