Today went for shopping to get things for our wedding. Our shopping mentality is straight forward, get our shopping list and just focus to get what we wanted. In fact, we got almost all of what we wanted. Here is our final shopping loots.
1) Dear's shoes - $197.20
2) My leather shoes - $69.95
3) My jogging shoes - $170
4) My socks - $9.95
5) My shirts - $50
6) My cuff-links - $60
7) My Arsenal jersey - $90
8) Our NYDC dinner - $50
So total damage for today, grand total of almost $700! Yeah, both of us spent SINGAPORE DOLLARS $700 on shopping in just one day!!!! This must had been the day that we had spent so much $$$$$ on shopping in a single day. Well, we should spent the money that we had earned. Like what I had heard before, 活着的时候是财产，死了之后是遗产。So we must spent all what we had earned...... hmmm well, at least I felt better now... :p
Anyway, I am officially a 舅舅 now, finally. My sister gave birth to a bouncy baby boy on 22 Aug 2008 @ 2011 hours.... can't wait to have one of my own.....

Shocking News!!
Silvestre set for shock move to Arsenal
Arsène Wenger instigated the move yesterday after learning that the former France international had been holding talks with Manchester City and Sunderland. Silvestre had provisionally agreed a move to City before contacting the club yesterday to apologise and say he could not resist the opportunity to work for Wenger, to live in London and be involved in the Champions League.
Paris St Germain had also offered the 31-year-old a contract but Silvestre informed Wenger last night that Arsenal were his first choice and, if everything goes according to plan, the deal will be concluded in time for him to make his debut at Fulham on Saturday.
The move is expected to cost Arsenal in the region of £750,000 and will represent one of the biggest transfer shocks of the summer given United's usual reluctance to do business with any of their major rivals and the fact Ferguson has never allowed a player of his to defect to Wenger's side. Brian Kidd was the last United player to go in the same direction, in 1974, and Silvestre would have been entitled to a testimonial had he stayed at Old Trafford one more season.
Another surprise for Arsenal's fans is that Wenger does not regard the former Internazionale defender merely as a squad player, or as a back-up for Gaël Clichy at left-back, but as a first-choice centre-half alongside William Gallas, primarily as a replacement for Philippe Senderos.
City had been the first club to approach Silvestre and their failure to pull it off represents a major disappointment for Mark Hughes after his difficult start to life as Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor.
City's problems were compounded yesterday when it emerged they were the subject of a possible Fifa inquiry into claims that they had failed to pay some of the money they allegedly owe in the £8m signing of the Brazilian international midfielder Elano Blumer from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Mikaël Silvestre, the long-serving Manchester United defender, is on the verge of foregoing a testimonial season at Old Trafford to become the club's first player to be sold to Arsenal for 34 years.

Need I say more?? Players from Man United coming over to Arsenal is really a taboo itself. Few players would ever think of doing that; much lesser had made the move. But well, if this guy comes over, he should provide some experience cover at the back...

Mad Mad Saturday.
Had a pretty hectic Saturday. My initial plan was to have a relax day at home before going out in the afternoon. However, things start to get really wrong from the morning.
Made my wedding suits with a neighbourhood store and the result is darn bloody bad. Poor workmanship, lousy lousy materials, which left me freaking MAD. Darn bloody tailor said can complete my suits in 10 days but in the end, more than 2 weeks still not complete. Still must wait till next Tuesday. This tailor is so confident of himself that he said that there is not need for fitting. I was freaking stupid to trust him. Ended up my pants was so bloody tight and so freaking darn short. Well, enough is enough. Decided to seek out another tailor in Chinatown and forgo all my deposit with the bloody tailor. I cannot afford to waste more time, my photoshoot is in 2 weeks.
Anyway, when to a tailor recommended by my future cousin. Hope the result will be good. At least this tailor needs fitting, which I think is darn important. So, my lesson learn here is to always seek out options and go for recommendation by friends. The theory of 一分钱一份货 is always right. Try to save some $$$ and in the end you will lose more.
Anyway, after getting the tailor made my suits in Chinatown, its time for my dear to have her first fitting at Ted Collection. Well, I guess I am more excited in seeing the result of her dresses. Well, well, well, the results came out really good. We are pleased with what we seen, in fact very pleased. And the dresses are only about 70% done. The details of the dresses are not yet completed. Am happy that we had chose the right designers for for the dresses, really is 一分钱一份货, as these dresses do not come cheap. Well, I must say, $$$ well-spent, at this moment. Managed to met one gal from sgbrides forum, wanted to see her much talk about Peacock dress but due to time constraint, got to go off for our Korean dinner.
Korean dinner at Furama City Center was good. The BBQ pork with green vegi was with big serving. Ginseng chicken is heavenly too. Bill for 3 pax - $90 after a 10% "face" discount. The owner of this restaurant will give discount to regulars. Not forgetting, the service is 9/10, super. Did not get a 10/10 because the service is too good that we are pai seh that we could not finished the food.
After sending dear home, off I go ad meet my recently-got-regular drinking kakis at CCK park. First time there, bad place to go. Limited parking and only Malay food is served. So, pretty limited choice I must say. Drink kopi, eat satay, talk cock sing song, talk about the old days, chat about future plans.... and before we knew it, all lights of the restaurant was closed. We left at around 2.15 am....
