Anyways, my usual excuse comes to play. Remember that my solemnization was moved forward to the 13th May? I was so utterly busy planning for that. I was a single warrior with no one to help me. Ended up losing 2 kg and 1 inch off my waist and thigh. It was a blessing in disguise after all. I think stress is definitely more effective than any exercise I have ever done.
Anyways, all that is done and gone and everything went really nicely....not perfect but good enough. I wished that I had delegated more work though so I could really enjoy myself but alas, I was so worried about everything and I think it shows on my face.
Pictures are not out yet but the first batch will be done before the 1st of June which is soon.

So, what has me (new Mrs. Halim) been up to after the wedding. Yeah, people have been calling me Mrs. Halim.......yucks. Sorry dear, its just that I am used to my old name and Mrs. Halim just reminds me of your mom. Hee hee.
Anyways, I have been busy with......what else........renovations. Yup, my renovations are finally on the way. Bad news is that my carpentar, being in Indonesia, will only get my furnitures done 2 months after I give them the final design drawings and I have not even done that yet.
Anyways, decided to hack a wall from my Master Bedroom and took some pictures of the messy house on Saturday. Here they are. Hope that the house will be good.
Have I told you about the forum I started for Starville (name of my condo). Well, there are more and more neighbours joining in so I am really happy. Cos I started the forum thread and I really am glad to see so many neighbours. However, so far, we have just been complaining about how bad the design and workmanship is for Starville.......
Oh well.....it is Koh Brothers' first condominium project so considering that, I suppose it is not so bad. Hope that they improve in future. :0
RH pretending to inspect the renovations. My living room is pretty much the same. The contractors have placed cardboards to protect my marble flooring.
On the left are remnants of my shoe cabinet. The shoe cabinet came with my apt but it is not enough to contain 1/4 of RH and my shoes. It had to go.
Corridor....nothing yet.
The door leads to the master bedroom. I am so glad that Dad chose the unit facing the housing estates instead of the one facing the pool cos the units facing the pool happens to face PIE too and it is really very very noisy. Our apart also happens to be a corner apartment which faces the east on one side, our master bathroom....hehehe....I am glad that although our place is blocked by another condo, it is still bright and breezy. Mind you, we only bought the 2nd floor.
Bedroom 2, where most of the action is right now. I am hacking the wall between bedroom 2 and master bedroom. Its really messy!
My lovely wall is gone. there use to be a wall there and now I can see my master bedroom from Bedroom 2. My apartment actually feels like a third floor rather than a secong floor because our block is built on higher grounds therefore, our apartment is at the same level as the third floor of other blocks. Hurray!
View from master bedroom! 
Tot of getting something like this for my dresser. What do you think?

What else have I been up to? RH's grandfather is in Singapore after being critically ill for some time in Indonesia. Yep, he is currently admitted to NUH, brought here by ambulance, plane, ambulance. Me and RH have been spending considerable time in the hospital.
Partly cos I would feel really guilty if not. Cos I kinda persuaded RH's mom to let his grandfather be treated here explaining that RH and I could take turns to look after him, not realizing that it is indeed hard work and virtually impossible for any employed person to look after him. Luckily, RH's aunt has taken leave to come to singapore to take care of him so I am more relieved.
His situation worsened the first 2 days he was in Singapore but I am truly glad to say that his palor has improved and he seems to be much better now. Thank you all for praying for him.
