vin and i are 8 months married!!!

wow how time flies... it seemed just a while ago that we got married and we are already into our 8 months of marriage!!! for those married for years and decades, 8 months is like a infant. but for me, sometimes i look at vin and say 'wow, we are married!' hahaha... then vin will look at me with no expression on his face... HAHAHA... (cos i say this like once every 2-3 months) maybe men are different. women are more emotional and feeling then we will go like wow and wee and lalala... but the men are task oriented. sign on the papers = married = next phase = just like that la... hee thats the fun of it all, men and women =)))

still having alot of fun living together and doing things together =))) so to those who are wondering if getting married is a no-no, i say YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! ^_^

anyway, we bought our lights 2 weeks back and it was another MAJOR project... went to about 5 shops to look at their lights. its very interesting when people walk into a lights shop cos everyone's head will tilt up rightaway. the focus is mostly on the ceiling, instead of normal shops where we are able to flick our eyes from the products to the salespeople. in a lights shop, we all talk to the ceiling most of the time... HAHAHA quite funny now that i think of it. but its also super strenous loh!!! imagine, almost an hour spent in the shop, looking at their (maybe 80-100) different lights, which have about 10-20 that look almost the same, with very subtle differences... neck and eye strain man!!!

never knew lights are sooo expensive... just like i never knew our throne in the house (the toilet bowl) is more than 100 bucks!!! when i researched on the forums, most people spent almost 2k on their lights and i was flabbergasted... never knew that our parents had to spend SO MUCH on the house man... and we take for granted all the things around us...

anyway, we managed to decide on the lights we liked and got them from 3 different shops
1) chandelier @ 300+
2) master bedroom light @ 190+
3) study bedroom light @ 80+
4) kitchen light @ 60+
5) utility & toilet light @ 60+
6) PLC lights for living @ 90+
Total cost about 800+!!! =)))

super happy cos we spent under 1k for our lights for the house, praise God!!! thank God for favor with the salespeople as well to give us discounts, and for leading us to the right places and getting great advice from the lights guys =)))

happiness... hoping to shift in 2 weeks time!!!!! later going to spot check on progress of the renovation!!!!! =))) kekeke... excited!!!
