Cantona7 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2007 Erm...my wedding will be ala carte so I actually went around meeting different people and I have already lock on to the items that I want and paid deposit already. Yah I do agree on the album part, so I am still thinking what to do with it loh. I am thinking whether to do a documentation for my home renovation, wedding preparation and wedding into a book or magazine style then print and give to all my wedding helpers, relatives and closer friends. Still considering because of the cost factor, hopefully can get sponsored printing.Err for wedding photos my wife alway said, once in a lifetime so must spend abit more on the album and keep for memory. Well somehw I agree with her cos indeed she look more beautiful in the wedding photos and of course with the handsome hd. Nw after 4 years, we still keep our wedding photos in the storeroom nicely but who knw 10yrs later we might bring out and show it to our kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will my kids by then think that I am retro and should be sent to the museum?Yah it is true that wedding is once in a lifetime, the time will not roll back once the time has passed. I love photos alot. So I feel like doing a book as a documentation for the whole preparation. Then this book can be used as a story book for my children in the future....Once upon a time, during your daddy and mummy's time.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumobear 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2007 This week is definately a hectic one for me because I am trying very hard to manage my work, going to gym regularly and on site to check on the renovation. Then Mrs SumoBear is sick and very busy at work too. I am so tired that I want to sleep so badly but whenever I am in bed, I feel so awake.My room is equally messy as my life right now, I have piles of interior magazines, design books, my half-done DIY table and bags of stuffs which I cannot remember what is inside. Then Mrs Sumobear's latest craze for "Shopaholics" novels are piling up. Can't wait till the day that I can start moving in to my my new place and hopefully by that time, both homes will be neat and nice again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For ur case since u choose contractor, u really must follow closely with them. KP Tips: Why dont u cut out the design u like in the interior mag and paste it on a file, cos tis will help u to focus more as there are really **** lot of ideas from diff mag and it also can help u put aside those mag u don like.

I even plastic wrap my magazines...hehe. Well...my form of clipping will be scanning and will show to my contractor using laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sumobear 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 I am very eager to see my finished floor but when I popped by to check on the renovation status, I only see a floor of mushy cement and there is no way that I can walk in to the flat to explore further more. Rang up my contractor to check on the renovation status and I was informed that the resident staying below my unit complained that his ceiling is having some water stain and renovation was suspended for a while by HDB in the afternoon. I am kind of worried with the situation but my contractor told me that the problem will be taken care by helping my neighbour paint the ceiling. Do not know if it is the appropriate way to solve the problem and whether should I pop by my neighbour's place to apologise for the problem caused....what should I do? Is the situation safe?
