NATAS Fair

After work, we will be going the NATAS fair.
Going to decide where we want to go for holiday after the ROM.
I feel like going to Sungai Klah hotspring park at Perak, or maybe taipei or hong kong.
Go the fair take a look and see the price before deciding where to go.

Ring Pillow and the Soft Toy

We order the ring pillow and also the soft toy for the wall deco from http://www.theweddingthoughts.com/.
Currently waiting for the reply from wedding thoughts, we choose self collect the item as the place of collection is at blk 130 Edgedale Plains (Punggol 21).Collection would only be done at the ground floor lift lobby.
The ring pillow and the soft toy are both dogs, but both dogs are different breed.
The ring pillow would also have our name and the date of the event on it and the dog will have each of our name on it too.

New Deco Quotation

The decoration is more or less what we have in mind.

Our next meet up regarding the decoration is in mid Oct 2011 at the chalet itself for taking of the measurement.

Wonder if there is enough time for the decoration if we meet up in mid Oct 2011.

Either than the meet up for the decoration, mid Oct 2011 we will also have to pay the deposit for the decoration first as Helen was saying that she would need the deposit to buy the material first.

Awaiting the design of the final product on the actual day hopefully it will be simple and nice.

Remember previously about 3 years ago the cost is only $6. Haha, but at least one more thing done. Left with less than 3 more months to the solemnization, got to faster plan other things, and hope for the best on the day of the solemnization.

Solemnizer

Solemnizer: Dr Phua Tan Tee.

Originally the timing for the solemnization was 11am, but as our solemnizer has tried to reschedule his time, but still unable to be available at 11am on the 20 Nov 2011. He suggested that he would be available at 10am for the solemnization, and we agreed to held the solemnization at 10am.

The below picture is the reply from the solemnizer.

2nd appointment with Helen

Friday after work, we went down to east point for the meet up with Helen.
We started chatting on the design of the decoration that we wanted and also show some sample picture to Helen.
After discussing the design of the decoration, we ate our dinner at Han's cafe.
Now the design that we wanted is much simple than from the first appointment we met up at Aranda country club chalet.
As the first time we met up was also the first time we saw the chalet layout, and how the chalet look like.
We have take away the green plant that originally Helen has plan to put 2 side by side near the door entrance, as we do not really like the plant, and we decided to use a big bow with either a tiger or dog soft toy in between the bow.
And currently we are waiting for a new quotation from Helen for the new decoration ideals.
Hope to hear from her soon.

Floor plan of the Venue

We went to the chalet to take a look at the interior.
This is the floor plan created from what I can remember seeing.
Today will be meeting Helen again for the discussion of the decorations.
Will be using the floor plan that i created and afew other pictures to discuss on the decorations.

Decoration

Last night met up with the decorator, Helen Cheng @ Aranda Country Club. Managed to take a look at our pre-booked unit #2303. Its larger then what i expected from the photos in their website. Anyway our decorator has proposed a few decorations for us here and there, for the event table, she will be providing her own table and 2 chairs for the Groom and Bride. After discussing with Helen, we managed to sort of get an idea on where and how we want our decoration to be. Helen told us she will give us the estimated cost via email, now waiting for her email..... After that we went to eat dinner at Magic Wok and then go home....
