Further changes in our plans. Yet again, the 2nd solemniser we've contacted so far isn't free on the ROM date we've chosen. We just have to keep trying & call up every single 1 of them if we have to. Hopefully luck will be on our side & let us secure a solemniser or the wedding can't proceed.

Jeff's sis found a hotel, Excelsior for us. High tea buffet is at $23+++ per pax. I was on the phone with Jeff yesterday night & we discussed about this whole thing.

Then since we're not doing anything at all, perhaps we can bargain with the bridal studio for a reduction in price. We won't be needing the bridal car, flowers, photographer, evening gown, wedding gown for the actual day anymore. Jeff's sis offered to go with us so she can help us bargain as she used the same bridal studio when she got married 1+ year ago.

Ton Ton was lying on my laps, his head on my tummy, slowly falling asleep. I'm playing Christmas songs on my computer. A sence of peace & contentment washed over me.

Voices of the choir nearby floats into the hut, encircling us...
