We are coming close to the 200th day in the countdown to the big day. (Auspicious dates and time checked with Sean Lui)
We have booked the venue, now left with lots of details to follow up on. Solemniser (Simon)is also booked. Meeting up with him in July for the first meeting.
More updates later...

Enya Mareine
In the long hiatus, we have also booked and completed our appointment with Enya (Keda). We will be going for the long awaited viewing on 20 April 2013.
Have not heard or seen much from the social media sites, hopefully it is a job well done!

Flat application
After so many tries (more than 10!), we finally managed to get a flat! Not exactly a most convenient location, but it will have to do...
Waterway Brooks at Punggol Drive, a BTO project launched in September 2011. Our queue position was 1010 out of 691 available 4 room units! Apparently many before us gave up their chance to choose, thus we are able to secure a unit. After a couple of trips to HDB hub, we have now paid the 5% down payment using our CPF. Now, we are waiting for the flat to be completed. Looking at the HDB website, the probable completion date will be in the third quarter of 2015. 2 more years or so...

Punggol Ripples & Sails
We thought we nailed it this time. (third try)
But we got yet another lousy queue number, 968 (out of 400+ 4 room units). Well, we were given a selection date and time. Mid April actually. But in end March, HDB emailed us saying that the Chinese quota is full. So we didn't even get to go for selection... :(
Now, we are waiting for the 1200 units to be launched in April's BTO. Hopefully the location is not too bad. Sigh! It will be another long 4 months wait.

How he proposed!
The first time i remembered dear mentioning about our future together is at the new playground near my place. We were chit chatting and he suddenly tell me that he has been thinking/dreaming of me being his bride since a long time ago. That was really so long ago, i can't provide you with a specific date.
The second time he 'tested' water was on 3 August 2008. We were on our way back to Hougang from Changi Village, when he started hinting me that he (or rather his 'friend') bought something very expensive. I think i'll need to do a bit of explaining here. Because of my wonderful temper, he knew he had to 'own up' before i found out on my own. I guessed that he bought a ring. But he wouldn't admit it. *Shrug*
23 August 2008 was the day we went to Ritz Carlton to watch the fireworks festival. It was also the day dear first asked if i will marry him. My answer was of course not. Haha! My reason? Because it was not an 'official' proposal. Ahem... (read: empty handed) :P
10 November 2008, also our 13th month together, dear popped the question again. This time, he strongly advertised himself and then kneeled down to propose. He is lucky the venue is my room, cause my answer was "See first". Haha! (He was still empty handed mah!)

09 October 2009, is the eve of our 2nd anniversary. The day before it, dear bought the big Destinee box (with scope but without ring) to my place. He insisted that it belongs to his friend and he is just helping him to keep. *roll eyes* Anyway being the clever me, i know what he is up to. On Friday, 9 October, he came to my workplace to fetch me from work. We went to have dinner and then went home for the daily dose of Hong Kong drama. Dear was pretty restless and keep coming up with excuses to get me to go out of my bedroom. I sensed that he is up to no good so refused! Hahaha!! But in the end i gave in and went to refill water for him. As for the rest of the story, my dear's entry will present it in great details (in his point of view)... :)
Ours will be a pretty long engagement, so our wedding will not be so soon. We have not even managed to secure a flat yet! (Yes we are not one of the 'majority' Singaporeans who skipped the proposal stage and proceed to sign for the HDB flat first!) :)
Will keep updating our progress and 'homework'. We have not attended much wedding shows or fairs recently. So... keep watching out!
