Sneak Peaks II

Yeowhooooooooo
I survived my first day of work. My manager is kinda understanding, patient and my colleagues seem friendly. Truth be told, I have absolutely no industrial experience in the aviation industry but I'm grateful for this chance to learn. : ))


Anyway I'm back from my short trip and the saddest thing is there are no photos to show you guys.
Batam ain't really that interesting but the massages are really cheap. Me and L had a 2 hour Balinese massage and 1hr foot reflexology each and that cost a mere S$50+. Really fabulous! : )) 
Was thinking I might go there for the massages soon.


Yesterday me and L was in town shopping for stuff for the wedding. I believe we had severely exceeded our budget by a LOT. We bought a sweater vest and L had 2 shirts MTM. Couldn't believed he was willingly to splurge as I had assumed he wanted something low-key. One reason why I believe L had splurged is he is really not required to wear a shirt everyday in his line of work and those 2 shirts are kinda "extra" sitting in his wardrobe. Oh well I do hope L would find some other occasions to wear the shirts again somehow.


Over the weekend I had also requested the help of (copycat) Friend as she had volunteered her services previously. And I know her handicraft skills is so much better than mine thus I decide to ask for her help. However when she heard my idea of how I wanted my favours to be wrapped, she gave some sorts of excuses such as using boxes would be easier for me. Or I could use another alternative, blah blah blah.... I told her I'm open to ideas as long as my guests get their favours and that the favours are wrapped, that's all.
I was replaying our conversation in my mind and I realised that she had never agreed to help nor reject me. Instead our conversation was all about finding alternatives on how to wrap my favours. To be fair, my ideal packaging is using sheets of Yellow Pages, curling them into cones and putting the little trinkets in. I don't find that as difficult as crossing into Mordor but perhaps they are indeed time consuming. The Yellow Pages are really thin and filmsy so we gotta stick a few pages together to make the cone sturdier and to tape the edges  so that the cone won't fall apart. Since Friend had not commit to anything, I guess I will just have to make do without her help. *kinda frustrated now*


Luckily L is more responsive. After hearing me whine for like million time about the lack of progress of our DIY wedding, he has taken on the task of wrapping the favours. It's still a secret on how he's gonna do it but he did assured me, "just leave it to me (L)" I'm keeping my fingers crossed then! : ))


Here's what I'm doing now. : ))
One can easily get the puncher from any scrapbooking shops in town or Popular. I got mine from Daiso. : ))
I'm using crepe paper which was originally intended for wrapping the favours. However it was 2 sided thus thicker than the usual paper and is really difficult to punch through. : l 
Punching through the Yellow Pages was a breeze! : ))

Sakura-shaped confetti 

Can you see the Yellow Pages sakura?
