Yesterday was a scary experience!! Didnt expect bridal studio to have hardcore sales technique to grab sales!! Gosh!! That was real terrible..

As this is our first enquiry on bridal studio, we do not have any expectations on anything. Was met with a pleasant smile from this uncle and auntie, telling us all his goodies and saying theirs has the best and cheapest deals. Once we are seated, it was HELL !!!

They pushed real hard to grab us for their package, kept promoting that if i can find any better package outside, i will be refund. They kept claiming that no one that just signed up from them has as much perks as us... They even showed us the orders!! Gosh... And no matter what excuse i gave to leave, i was stopped... For e.g. if no money, can pay a deposit of 50 bucks first... else pay by installments... OMG!! From 830pm... talked till 930pm... Hardcore!!

So what does the package include? I try my best to list out... i wasnt allowed to bring out the list...

A Day to Remember: 24th Jun 2009

Yesterday, is a day to remember. Not becos its the debut of Transformer: Revenge of the Fallen, neither its due to the sucky ending of Hot Shot, nor how Jason taught me the hold hand thingy ( i stil rem!!)...

Its the day I asked for dear's hand from her parents... And i have succeeded =)

It seems her parents had read my mind, awaiting for me that night. That makes me even more nervous. My head went blank and the still air making me breathless... This situation is very familar to me... its the same fear when i am having presentation or when i m the MC of the night...

"We are going to get married next year .........." says me. Seconds passed and there isnt any response... Those seconds was years at that moment!! My heart was beating faster and faster, awaiting anxiously...

"You guys are grown up, its time as well." These words from her father, was the only words i rem at that moment... they are also the green light, the stepping stone of a new family =)
