THE WONDERS OF ARAB STREET
I always knew that Arab Street has lots of shops selling cloth, beads... nothing special, until the need for BEADS surfaced.

Guestbook & AP Box: We have been trying to find materials to decorate our guestbook, but sad to say, they always amount to quite a lot when we get them from Spotlight or Made with Love. Finally, I decided to give Arab Street a go; no desire to spend more than $20 just on beads, lol. So on Saturday, we went from shop to shop to check out the prices and designs. So happy, managed to find packets of shiny decor bits for only $3 each! We bought 2 for testing first, if nice then go back and buy more. Haha, will go there again this Saturday! Also thought of an alternative idea to decorate the mouth of the AP box. Too pricey to stick flowers around it, they will cost more than $20! So, we decided to use crystals, haha, 1m only $8! Looks so nice! Can't wait for Mrs Low (aka my mum) to finish with the toys, cos we can only start the decor once the toys are attached onto the box. Sianz... till now we still have no idea how to attach the toys on. Reckon we better leave that task to Mrs Low... mums always have a way with everything, anything!
We managed to find a shop selling loose petals too, and ended up buying 7 packets. I hope they are enough... Can't stand the man at the shop. Kept following us at very very close distance, like right behind! We take one step, he also takes one step. Liew, really bueh tahan. Told Meowvin to faster get it over and done with, I feel very uncomfortable and irritated!
Jazz: Went to Jazz Bridal to view our album layout. Thankfully, it was much, much better than Focus Bridal! I still remember the first time Meowvin and I went to view our album layout at Focus... we rejected the whole thing...the design was simply too "cheena" and kiddish. You tell me, what's the point of taking outdoor shoots if they replace the original, natural backgrounds with artificial ones? Might we well take indoor shoots lor! Anyway, I'm glad Jazz is better, perhaps its because we did tell them we prefer the design to be simple and original. Sianz. Ended up topping up yet another $400 for seamless binding. Liew they really know how to squeeze money out of wedding couples!
Honeymoon: Haiz. We seem to have little bits and pieces here and there not settled. Always got things we need to buy just when we thought we are finally through with all the purchases, lol. Went to the Winter Time at Suntec on Saturday after the Arab Street "tour" and got myself a wool cap. Supposedly to keep your ears from the wind and prevent you from getting headaches easily since it keeps the head warm. On Sunday, went to Suntec again and bought a cute travel kettle (more like a jug). Very cute manz, so compact, the capacity is only 0.5L, haha! Side track - went to Comex with the intention not to buy my much wanted Canon Ixus 85 IS. Nearly succeeded until Meowvin said,"Dear! Pay by UOB and get one more extra 4GB SD card leh! Got 3 altogether leh!" LOL, so I got a new toy. :) We then made our way to Taka to shop for thermal bottle/flask aka water bottle, haha~! Taka has a larger variety of such things, and we bought a La Gourmet one. Haiz, haven't fly already spent more than $1K buying travel stuff. Worse.. still got at least 6 more items to shop for! Heartpain manz.
Yay! We got our Eurail partial refund yesterday (Monday)! Wahahahhaha luckily got check through the tickets manz, we got a refund of $196 cos of the promotional rates for the tickets!! :D
