I am feeling so damn sleepy right now, with the sluggish working environment as well as the sweet raspberry-orangey fragrance from the heated aromatheraphy oil (Oh yes, the aromatheraphy oil burner's my X'mas gift from my dearest bank client : ) ) Looking at the board makes me demoralized - I have yet to close a deal for the whole of December : P Not that I have not been doing nothing, but the resumes that I have deposited with my colleagues have yet to see the light (Who cares? I am going to Hong Kong next Thursday!)
Anyway, I was on MC last Monday. Not that I was super sick physically, I was just super sick mentally : ( Went to the doc's and described my ailment (I told her that I couldn't sleep in the night and that I felt very sleepy in the day), but apparently, she was more interested in my makeup excuse of tummy upset (What the hell!) : ( Left the clinic with a bad taste in my mouth despite having the important slip of MC : ( Worked from home until it was time to resolve some important issues outside : )
Met up with Fat Boy afterwards and we went to Tanjong Pagar where most of the bridal studios are. Walked into Di Gio and was met with a friendly consultant. Without saying anything about the package, she headed straight to my preference with regards to the bridal gowns and got me a few to wear and I was fascinated by how I looked in those beautiful dresses (Hey! I am a pretty bride alright!) It was rather tiring jumping in and out of those heavy gowns and can-can slips. By the time I wore the 5th gown, I was aching all over : ( Despite the beautiful designs and good customer service, our eyes popped out when she announced the price - 4000 bucks. Though she said that the price could be negotiated further, we were rather turned off. We left the studio and Fat Boy suggested that we continue to look at other bridal studios before coming to a decision.
We went to Tanjong Pagar again yesterday. After having dinner at a Taiwanese cafe near the MRT station, we continued with our wedding package hunting. We walked into French Studio and Bridal Boutique when the consultant persuaded us to have a look, but stepped out immediately when we realized that the indecent-looking guys in the shop were the wedding consultants : / We continued to walk down the lanes of Tanjong Pagar until we came to Thomson Wedding, which is located just next to Di Gio : P Initially, I was quite turned off by the interior of the shop because it did not look as posh as the latter. The wedding consultant who attended to us was a lady in her late 30's and to be frank, I felt like walking out then. However, after sharing with us her vast experiences and her patience when showing us the bridal gowns and helping me putting on the heavy dresses changed my earlier perception (Well, it might indeed be better if I have somebody experienced and patient than one who is just concerned about closing deals despite the difference in shop interior and age difference)
We spoke about the package details and as usual Fat Boy told her that we would go back and consider : ) However, during our pillow talk, he mentioned that since both of us are comfortable with the wedding consultant and the package, we should just go for it. He said he would call her to confirm our interest. Yay~Done deal!
