went to get the more stuff so that we can get the contractors to drill the holes for us and before they handover the house..
we had a hard time putting up the magnetic door stopper on our own.. so we had to get everything for the contractor to put it up..
we even planned ahead for the future to get the hooks for the baby "yao lan".. how extreme! haha.. 
we even bought the curtain tracks and the curtains for our balcony! the uncle is super helpful! 
before the workshop ends today, we were told to build a house with our own hands.. it was fun! it is a process, a teamwork.. hee.. fun!
on friday, went k to celebrate our birthdays! we bought a mini cake for the celebration.. it has been a long long time since we sing k together.. we had such a fun time!
dear dear exams is coming, with the reno and housing plans, it has taken up alot of his time.. hope he can revise and do well for the exams.. after his exams, will plan for the move and then the wedding.. hee.. 
some updates on our house.. the house will be ready for handover this coming wednesday.. it is so fast! i am very extremely satisfied with our contractors who were very responsible and fast!
some photos to share..
dear dear's bar counter..
our dry wall for our wardrobe.. (when close)
"da-ta" when the door is open, it looks like this!
our sleeping area with our tv ledge and my dressing table.. we hacked our master bedroom as the current master bedroom is very small to fit a king size bed, wardrobe, study table, dressing table and tv ledge.. so we have to hack it..
thus, the study room and our wardrobe is in my masterbedroom and my sleeping area, tv ledge and dressing table is in the other bedroom.. i simply love it! initially, had the disonnance effect but when bits and pieces of the room is slowly done up and feeling more happy and excited to see the outcome.. hee..
the cupboard to store our bathings necessities.. hee.. how nice!
too many things to be accountable for.. i dont know where is the cheery stephy gone..
too many unpleasant things happened.. you know, i know..
"cast my cares upon You"
my reno has started 2 weeks back.. didnt manage to take pics in the 1st week because when i went over to inspect (usually after work), it is already very dark and without proper lightings, didnt take any pictures..
the 1st week of reno is also quite boring, the hacking of the walls and the removal of door frames to replace with wooden ones.. the whole house is filled with debris.. oh my! imagine the dust and all..
but in the 2nd week, the dry wall for the wardrobe is up, windows is up but not the grills, the kitchen cabinets is done, even my oven is in place, the only thing is the solid top that is not up yet.. now the reno works is halt for about a week till my aircon is up then we can complete the rest of the carpentry works for the toilet, wardrobe, dear dear fave. bar counter, painting for the whole house and the rest of the furniture to be delivered and our house is done.. oh yes, and the lightings which we have already bought!
sharing with you some pictures tha: though they were not well-taken.. 
am getting the white roller blinds for our study and bedroom.. hee
went to attend a mpc this afternoon.. we went in with an open mind on what to expect on marriage life.. am glad that dear dear was willing to go through the course with me as i understand not everyone will like such prep course.. at first, questions pop out when i first suggested to go for this course was, is our relationship so bad? why should we even attend? everyone goes through marriage as it is.. why should we spend to go on such courses? but, we enrolled and attended the first session and it was great! never regret on the $ spent..
we were being asked to do a focus questionnaire that consists of 164 questions and the results will be announced to us next week.. how exciting!
next, we were asked to list down the 10 reasons we want to walk down the aisle with our partner.. i will type it out and print it out nicely to put in our study room to always and remind ourselves why we want to enter in a marriage.. i think that it is really important because as what the speaker mentioned, when we go through a rough patch in our relationship, the 10 reasons serve as a reminder why we ever want to enter into a marriage..
we were also told to do some "homework" that is to list down our expectations of our partner and be as specific as possible and we shall have some discussion and evaluation next week.. the speaker shared that when she done her mpc back then, one of her husband's expectations was that his wife will make breakfast for him every morning.. but the speaker mentioned that she is a night owl so she will not wake up early in the morning to prepare breakfast.. so there were some concerns in the inital stage of the marriage.. personally, i think that is important also.. hmm.. what is my expectations... hmm..
key points that i learnt from the course are the 5 different levels of communication.. at any one point n time, these 5 levels of communication should always be part of our communcation.. something like the maslow hierachy.. haha..
indeed, it was a very enriching and fruitful session for the both of us.. by rediscovering ourselves and this journey we are going to embark on..
last month, my company organised a family day.. dear dear and me went together.. we went cycling too.. we spent a great day togethe cycling along the coast line.. it has been sometime since we went there..
let's find time to go there again. before that, i really would like to go hort park for a walk..
