WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME (Diana Ross)
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
You love me
When you tell me that you love me
Day by day we watch them grow....

Resort Anchorvale
We've come up with a new theme for our house - RESORT.
Both of us love to go on a carefree, relaxed holiday at a beach resort, so we want to include that into our new house. The purpose is to create a tranquil, relaxed, comfortable environment, where we will want to run back to each day. A tranquil retreat that exudes charm and serenity. A place where guests will feel the desire to "check in".
Hmm.. now it's in our hands as well as the ID's hands to create that atmosphere.

Opened
Haven't got the chance to upload the photos we took at our new house.
Anyway, we did a simple ceremony for our chateau's opening. Grandma and Mum were around to guide us through the simple process of throwing rice mixed with salt and tea leaves and G shouting "Huat ah". Quite orbiang, but funny.
Yesterday, we went back again to check defects. 2 window handles were broken and our main door has dents on it. Other than that, everything looks quite in place.
Now the problem is... I'm not very sure now if the designer's proposed plan layout is going to work for us....

Official "Opening"
We've selected 13 Jan as the day for our Chateau Anchorvale's official "opening", guests-of-honour would be Granny and Mum. =D
Will be holding a simple ritual of splashing rice, salt and tea leaves around the house... hehe.. but somehow, I'm feeling pretty excited about this!

Perfect 10
我们似乎和数字10很有缘。
4月10号开始拍拖。
1月10号领取新屋钥匙。
hmmm... 可惜婚期不是在10号、房子也不在10楼。
不过还是希望婚礼和新屋样样十全十美，而我们的未来更是十分完美、甜蜜。

We got our keys!!!
Finally.
It felt like a rather long ordeal. After a lot of signing and signing, we were handed a bunch of keys, but still short of 4.
Don't ask me why. It baffled us as well. How can HDB get us to go and collect keys to our house when the keys are not with them? At least not ALL the keys were with them? And it scares me a little thinking that my house keys were floating around, probably changing from hand to hand?

Wedding
hmm... I think maybe the wedding preparation journal should go into this blog as well rather than creating another different blog for it.. dun think I've time to maintain 3 blogs.
Anyway, not much have been done. We visited 3 bridal shops in JB on 2 Jan. Think so far only Elegance seem to make the mark. We've also walked into Double Up at IMM. The auntie who served us was so tickled by G.
I already have a good idea what is required.
Outdoor/Indoor Photo Shoot:
- Venue: Desaru / Kota Tinggi / Pulau Besar
- 1 X 15R Album (at least 30 poses)
- 1 X 8R Album (exact same photos as above)
- 1 X 10R table top photo
- 1 X 8R table top photo
- 100 4R photos (10 poses)
- 3 Wedding Gowns & 4 Evening Gowns
- Bridal bouquet
- Accessories
- Hair & make-up
Actual Day:
- 1 WG
- 1 EG
- 2 Men's Suit
- Hair & make-up
- Bridal bouquet
- 6 corsages
- Bridal car decor
- Ribbons for accompanying cars
Was thinking of a modular system, meaning, doing photo shoot with a JB shop and rent AD gown from Singapore bridal shop and look for MUA myself.
Guests wise, we are looking at around 200+ people. Need to source for venues now.

Knowing what we want
IDs have commented that it is good that we know what we want. Actually we do have a good idea as to what materials we want for our house, but when it comes to the exact theme/design/colour scheme, we are abit lost. But I'm sure we'll get it figured out along the way.
We have almost decided on the following:
- Homogeneous tiles for Living & Dining plus Store
- Laminated flooring for new Reading area and 3 bedrooms
- Homogeneous tiles for Kitchen
- Pebble wash for balcony and main entrance foyer
- Hack away Study walls and make into a cozy reading area
- Cement base for cabinet, fridge and washing machine
- Main entrance foyer shoe cabinet, mirror panel and divider
- Simple wall feature for plasma/LCD TV
- Feature wall at Store with door to Kitchen
- Kitchen cabinet with solid surface top
- Reading area book shelves
- Wardrobe at all bedrooms
- Revamp master toilet
- Shower screens with kerb for 2 toilets
- Master toilet vanity cabinets with mirror
- Painting & false ceiling works
- Piping
- Casement windows at Service Balcony
- 2 toilet doors
- 3 bedroom doors
Hopefully that's about all.
Think we'll go for earthy tones, clean lines and a contemporary, modern touch.

ID Search Part 1
I have not set foot inside IMM for the longest time ever.
But now it is fast becoming a regular hang-out because it is where a lot of IDs congregate.
To date, we have received quotations from
1) Future Home Innovation
2) Decormark
3) GPlan
4) Despirit
5) Jin Soon (a neighbourhood contractor at AMK)
We have also visited Space Vision Planners and were quite impressed with the ID we met.
We are now waiting for quotations from
1) Spacious Planners
2) Edgeline Planners
3) Intradesign
4) Wideangle
5) Rezt n Relax
Hopefully, we will be able to make a decision and go with any one of these IDs.

Flat Hunting
I was flipping through my old diary and realized that we started our flat hunting as early as July last year.
Our first appointment with Johnny the housing agent was on 29 July 2006 and we actually went to HDB a week earlier to make enquiries. The decision of where to live was not difficult. It was unanimous that we were to pick Clementi, to be near to my parents. After that we viewed houses in Clementi, Sunset Way, Queenstown, Strathmore.. went to see new flats in Jurong West and even Sembawang.
We exhausted almost all possibilities but still could not find an ideal unit. We even tried balloting for a Redhill unit but failed.
Then finally in November, we came across the HDB walk-in selection for Sengkang. We brought my parents to see the Sengkang flats on 18 Nov, then decided to go ahead with it. On 20 Nov, we had a nerve-wrecking experience at HDB trying to select our flats. Before that my mum was monitoring the teletext for us everyday. We had wanted the #14-24 unit, but just before we were to select our unit, it was taken up. So we settled for #13-24. G was hesitant because of the number 13, but because I like it, he gave in to me.
But that was not the end. We went through quite abit of trouble getting our salary certification documents to them. The first batch of documents got lost in the mail and G had to personally deliver the second set of documents to HDB to play safe.
Finally finally we are pronounced the proud owners of the executive flat end December and would be collecting our keys on 10 January!

2007的第四天
今天已经是新的一年的第四天了。很惭愧，从旧年跨过了新年，却没有灵感，也没有特别感觉——那种兴奋得必须写些东西的感觉。
可是又不愿意没有及时在新的一年，为我的博客日记增添新的篇章。
erm...
第一次在New Year's Eve看到烟火；很璀璨、很震撼，这样迎接新年的方法很不错；但美中不足。hmm... 是种缺陷美。*嘻嘻*
第一次穿婚纱的感觉，没有想像中的兴奋。又是另一个缺陷美。
第一次（也是唯一一次）买结婚戒指的感觉，没有想像中的浪漫。也是另一个缺陷美。
所有有缺陷的美加在一起，还是挺美丽的。
我必须对这美丽心存感激。
