In less than 2 weeks from this post, I’ll be marrying the love of my life here. I can’t wait to see how this seemingly carefree poolside transform into our secret garden.
We went to ann siang hill park to look for the spiral staircase that gin mentioned to me sometime back. As Noel was roaming the area to look for more scenes to film, I saw some dried leaves and started forming this..
Looking for a good solemniser in Singapore is akin to watching blockbuster movies that are released during the first week. Back in February, I was researching on the process for getting solemnised outdoors. We have to invite a solemniser to our preferred venue on the day of our solemnisation. Ok, that sounded easy as I went through the whole list of solemnisers from ROM. For the fun of it, I contacted a JP randomly from the list and I was told that it was still early to book him for our ROM. Hmm, fine.
As I read the marriage filing instructions on the ROM website, it seems be it outdoors or indoors, we still need to observe the filing notice of 3 months before our date. It was also recommended that we should look for a solemniser around this period of time. I was dead wrong.
Having a list of recommended solemnisers (after much crawling on google and singaporebrides) I began to contact each of the Justice of Peace (JP). One by one, I was getting rejected and day by day, I started to panic. MC and me thought to ourselves that we were too late in contacting the JPs, hence all the good ones are not available. What the heck.
I supposed I was refused by nearly twenty JPs until Dr William Chung agreed to be our solemniser. It certainly was a relief. As our date is October 30th, we still can’t file for our marriage as of today. I have to advise anyone who plans to get married to be SUPER KIASU, if you want an outdoor ROM with a recommended solemniser. At least try to contact them 6-8 months before your date. I know some brides book 1 year in advance. =\

I was trying out the sexyD 60D when my dad was in the car porch opening coconuts for us. Wasn’t quite familar with the controls, only knew how to make use of the aperture values.

This is a long overdue post. Heh.
Couple of weeks ago, the orchid that I’ve cultivated outside my home has finally bloomed! There were 5 pots, but only 1 managed to bloom. The rest are still shy despite new shoots and roots appeared. I guess it’s a big difference when cultivating orchids under the sun vs under a roof.
Speaking which, now I envy my mom who have her own backyard full of bloomed orchirds. =\
Nevertheless, i’m still trying to get my fingers green and i’m still going to continue to cultivate them.
