I am dead tired.........
However, just a quick update on what we have been busy with.. For the past few weeks, we have been visiting the library to get interior decor and bridal magazines for reference. In addition, we popped down to IMM last weekend to get some quotations for a rough gist of the reno cost for our dream home. As expected, $$$ poses some constraints.. However, with the help of Aunt's interior designer fren, we managed to get some ideas on how to save cost and still achieve the concept we want. Basically the concept is there.. the layout designs are there.. just still some squabbling abt the false ceiling.. haha.. expected.. But luckily, as at now, volcanoes have only been rumbling.. nothing erupted yet. =p Yesterday, we went to Sungei Kadut and source for furnitures. After a long day, we committed to a sofa, dining table & chairs, TV console and a coffee table at Forms by City Furniture. I esp like the sofa. =) Committing to a purchase on the first day of furniture hunting seems quite like a rash act eh? We did feel a bit thoughtful at the end of the day too.. Dun wan it to be another "everbliss act" too... But after some considerations, both Shawn and I felt that its a great buy. =) As long as we are happy... In addition, 5 yrs warranty & the option to change our design does add on to the pros factor.
Some pics.. =)
And the next reason on why I am so tired is cos we went for a outdoor photoshoot today.
And nope, its not the bridal photoshoot... More of a leisure photoshoot agreement dear had with a Thai guy called Jack. No exchange of monetary gains.. just a win win agreement whereby Jack will get a chance to take our photos and build up his portfolio whereas we get a free copy of the photos he took. We took like 280+?? photos at the Botanical Gardens.. Sweated like anything.. But the tiredness was worth it. His works are great! Initially I tot it will just be a 1 man with 1 SLR type. But he actually had an assistant.. and props like the big circular stuff.. and even a cool gadget to show us some concepts he had. Not to mention a remote control for duno light or flash stuff which we didnt end up using.. haha.. 3 thoughts from this photoshoot,
1. I must must bring a cooling fan during our actual photoshoot. Better still if the MUA will be with us.. But its not in our package!
2. Poses!! Lots of them are needed! But then again, I am sure the bridal photographer has many standard poses for us to use. We were like "so drained of poses" today.
3. The need to be thick-skinned during photoshoot. Was really embarrassed today.. posing in a public park under the eyes of the many people walking ard.. But once we get into the mood, the rest of the pple just fades away. Only have eyes for my love. hahaha... =p
Okie shall end here.. Really am falling asleep!!
p/s: Having you in my life is one of the best things that can ever happen to me... ...
