Starting of a nightmare!

There are so many things to plan and worry now that we are heading towards a new life (and new home) together!

After securing the flat, the next thing is worry about is getting the HDB loan approved. Although the officer said that it will be approved, I still feel more at ease when we get an official confirmation. Need to check with HDB 2 weeks from the date we submitted the loan application documents, around 13 Mar 07. Now praying hard!

Next in mind is the ROM (with lunch) and wedding dinner. As we are targetting to ROM on 17 Jun 07, this is subjected to availability of venue and solemniser as booking for ROM only starts 3 months b4 the date we want.

We had wanted to avoid a wedding dinner and have a ROM lunch instead to save all the hassle but seems like not quite possible now. Web's parents came out with quite a no. of relatives to invite (else will invite gossip etc.) thus we decided to go ahead with the proper dinner coz people usually only recognises marriage after they attend a wedding dinner.

Coming up with the invitees list proved a headache too. Finally asked my parents and they confirmed to have 4 to 5 tables for their relatives and Web's side having about 7 tables. We should have about 7 more tables for our friends and colleagues thus need to start finding a restaurant (preferably coz hotel could be too ex) for the dinner. Next headache was having the dinner on a weekend as food is generally more expensive but bo bian, coz Web's relatives wun go if its on a weekday. What the heck la, if for me dun come dun come la, just bring the ang bao can liao. What to do, have to give in lor, coz they are paying for the dinner anyway, I just keep quiet and avoid any unnecessary arguements.

I also started sourcing for renovation (Interior design) contractors and approached 2 friends for help so far. Lucky thing I knew them since IRC days and hopefully they could come up with something attractive. Renovation works should start sometime in May or June, depending how fast we get our keys and after confirming who will be doing the renovation.

We need to have discussions of both the ROM and house matters over the weekend, and need to arrange for both parents to meet soon. I am taking it easy la, coz some things cannot be forced and rushed anyway but Web said I am abit bo chup. Actually dun have to worry so much la, must take it easy mah. Some people just worry too much and stress themselves out but nothing can be done or improved anyway. Just keeping my fingers crossed that we will not have any arguements b4 everything is settled. I am trying to give in whenever possible so I guess I am doing my part.
