In the past 2 months, I realized why some people actually borrow money from loansharks or Ah Longs. I myself nearly took up a personal loan with a financial instituion looking at the zeroes I'll be missing from my meagre savings soon.
Nothing can prepare you for the sheer blood-sucking involved in wedding preparations. A sincere tip for any guy, who is planning to get hitched. If you think you have enough savings to weather the insane costs of a wedding. I suggest you get a calculator and sit your behind down and work the actual figures.
There is the engagement ring, wedding ring x2, bridal photography @#$$!@#%^$#%&, wedding dinner, wedding card invitations, car rental, ang pows, dowry etc. The wedding rings and the engagement ring were fine with me. Hey, diamonds are a girl's best friend right and they are forever (unless you decide to take a diamond-bit drill to it XD). The bridal photography can only be described as daylight robbery. For the package amount, I could buy custom made gowns for her in China and she gets to keep 'em. Car rental is a pain if you are poor-assed like me and drive a small compact car. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed with the "hidden" costs, which I was told will creep higher as D-day draws closer.
OMGOMGOMG!!!! I still have so much to do and so little time left. Anyone knows of a good honeymoon retreat. I don't need locations like Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous cause I'm neither rich nor famous. I have been doing some research and my choice is limited to Sabah, Bali, Thailand or some Third World country where my Malaysian Ringgit is worth two cents.
Wonder if my credit card company will extend my credit limit to VVIP or something...
Anyhoo, any kind soul willing to donate to the Nawooz-must-eat Fund will be my saviour. I'll even sing for my supper, if you can stand the raging thunderstorms that it will bring :D
Back to calculator-button pushing and some wallet-busting. Cheers all. IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!

Yeah i know. Silly-billy me. Blame it on the weird shift hours I'm working the past week.
About the small car thingie, I'm actually thinking of "pimping" my ride. Gonna have the usual ribbons and my soon to be wifey wants a pair of teddy bears in front. The bit I kept secret is, I'm gonna use some sort of semi-permanent tape to spell out big-ass words, "JUST MARRIED" just like the movies. Eehhehehe...and then mebbe add in a, "Honk Me If Ya Luv Me" just for good measure.
It's good to be back blogging. So how do you find life as a Missus instead of Miss these days?
