No grand ROM....

*zHigUo + xiNhUi = kUkU & LaLa *

Yesterday Baby and I were discussing about our budget plan for our ROM on 2010, and I realized that making it too grand will cost us a bomb. Thus I'm deciding to hold it as a simple lunch gathering for close family members and close friends, probably only about 30 odd people I guess..

We have come to such consensus as we have to allocate our savings money to other areas which we think are more worth while. Mommy also suggested that we should save on the ROM and not invite too many people, because for certain people's mindset, they will dislike the idea of being invited for both ROM and Wedding Dinner as they have to give double ang bao. Of cause I know this kind of mindset is very old fashion, but mommy still has got her point there.

Baby was pleased with the idea when I initiated this topic, and said that many of his colleagues and friends also suggest not to spend too much money on just ROM itself. I still have to plan where and how we can make it simple but glam, and my tentative plan is to hold it during lunch time at some nice restaurant as the day would fall on a Sunday.

Baby was telling me his colleague went to Malaysia last week to recee on the prices of bridal packages and they range at about only $2.4k to $3k, which includes almost everything you need from ROM gown, actual day wedding gown, posh car, to photo shooting at Bali... They provide comparable services to Bridal shops in Spore, some even better, but at lower prices. Thus we may consider signing a package in Malaysia, but probably will ask for recommendations from friends who have experiences.

Lately I have been wondering if I should wear my solitaire ring everyday, as usually people will wear their proposal ring all the time, once your partner has popped the question. But sometimes its still quite troublesome to wear the ring everyday as I tend to hit it against something when I'm working. Well... heck la, Baby spend so much money buy this solitaire for me, I should show some appreciation by wearing it right?...

Last night mommy was having headache, so I helped her do some massage with my huge lollipop sticks and turtle massager, luckily mommy felt better =)
The other day I was watching this show by mediacorp, hosted by Quan Yi Feng and Christopher Lee. Its about volunteering to help clean up homes for people who really needs help in their life. I remember Yi Feng was saying this phrase "when you were young, your mom was the one who tucks you to bed in the middle of the night, but when you grow up, since when was the time you help your mom or dad tuck their blanket in the middle of the night". It was well said, and it strike me that it's not too late late to show how much you love you parents, and to show by actions and not just by words or keeping it to yourself. Try it if you haven't, may it be just helping them with simple chores or giving them a massage, your parents will really appreciate it.
