Wedding Venue

After searching online for our dream wedding venue, we came across a place called Burkill Hall. Located in the middle of National Orchid Garden, Singapore Botanic Gardens.

It is quite a nice place to hold wedding / solemnization. Too bad we had our solemnization already.

The access from Burkill Drive Way.

Lets start from the 2nd floor. The spacious hall. Bigger than we thought! can fit 140 guest. 100-120 guest comfortably.

Bridal's room. The only air-conditioned room in this hall.

The bridal's room private toilet. Super big! I think bigger than my current room.

Looking over the lawn from the 2nd floor patio where most solemnization was held.
Great for outdoor cocktails.

The 1st storey. Can fit about 120 guest. Round table can be shifted away.

Another view of the lawn from the car porch below the patio.

Commemorative plaque.

Since we entered the Burkill Hall which is inside the National Orchid Garden  from the side gate, might as well visit the orchid garden for free!

Weather very hot, walking towards the Cool House.

Opps didn't get a good background shot of the Cool House in full view.

Bedding needs

Got our King size bedsheet at IMM. Original price at $699 but was on 60% sale, which is $279.60. Very good material. Sateen with 460 thread counts. Feels good! as we will be sleeping on the bed 1/3 of our lifetime, we thought it is better to get a good quality bedsheet. Comes with 1 quilt cover, 1 bedsheet, 2 pillow case, and 2 bolster case. Yes! 2 bolster case. Most package comes with only 1 but this comes with 2.  

Also got a purchase with purchase offer for 2 pillow protector at $9.90 for 2.

Finally get my butt to move this LCD TV from wifey's office to my house. Wifey won during her department's lucky draw. Free TV for the living room for the time been!

For our sink

Received a new item from postman today. Our Kraus sink Kraus basket strainer! Thought that it came standard with the sink but ended up is those normal strainer. Basket strainer is still the best thing in the world. Though this is alot smaller than the one at home (which can fit my whole fist in it), this one can only fit a toddler fist, the quality is great!

Space Saver Coffee Table

We fell in love with this coffee table when we saw it at Park Mall. Cost about $590 for the set. Though I think it is not the original piece designed by the European. Here it is:

Comes in high gloss white and black for the same versions selling here in Singapore.

Mattress!

After some weeks shopping for a suitable mattress, we came across King Koil Serenity and Spring Air (forgot which model) during our Courts walkabout, which we both like. One cost more than 2.4k and the latter cost close to 1.8k. Just earlier this afternoon, while walking around Causeway Point, we saw Courts having renovation sale. Furniture sale! The mattress are less $380 on top of the discounted sale price. Actually I think Courts discounted prices for mattress are forever there. Anyway, we came across a comfortable mattress that is around the King Koil and Spring Air comfort level, the Sealy PosturePremier. Selling at $2299. Less $380 and is $1919. Still within our budget range, and we thought since it is a Sealy, it shouldn't go wrong. After all it feels comfortable. With a pillow top, and layered with memory foam, King size, is quite all right. Queen size is selling at $1619. King size is good for us since both of us are not the normal small size people :P comes with 2 free pillows and a mattress protector too.

Preparing for our place we call Home

Today, we went to Ikea, Courts, Giant. Went around to look for some renovation ideas and furniture price survey. Wanted to start buying furnitures but we still have not gotten our house! HDB is slow in processing our AHG. Hopefully they don't let us wait for more than 3 months for a $0 grant.
I dreamt about us gotten the AHG and Ting Ting told me that dreams are always opposite :/ No!!!
We got 2 memory pillows cos it was on sale. Well, there's a few sale in a year, but we do not know when, so might as well get it since we were there.

While looking for mattress, we both love the King Koil Serenity. However it exceed out budget by quite a bit. Priced at close to $2.5k is way too much. Tried 4Stars but it doesn't feel any close to King Koil. Then there came Spring Air. Not bad actually! We had decided to put this as our 1st choice. Priced at less than 1.8k is still within our budget for comfort back support.

We headed to our new place hoping to see if there are any units doing renovation. Sunday, of course there aren't any. So we walked around the area and found that there is a good running path just behind. 

Our unit at Strathmore Green. We are very lucky to get the unit of our first choice. Feeling excited but tired from waiting for HDB to release the keys. I guess we are not the only ones. There are still many units yet to be renovated.
