Practising Work-Life Balance

In order to balance my life, i will always chose to go for weekend recreational activities which doesnt require much thinking so that i can just relax and prepare for a new week. This is the main reason why i am behind time for my wedding preparations. This month, we are supposed to finalise design for our future room, have our ring design ready @ fairy's inc, confirm our studio photographer, go for first bridal fitting this friday and chose a JP.

Looking for JP is quite a tricky task as we cannot confirm if he/ she looks presentable, is professional, can communicate both in English and Mandarin, etc before we decide to chose them. Initially i kind of like this JP Mr Chan whom i read very good comments about him while browsing bridal forum but i change my mind after viewing a clip on him solemnising a couple which i happen to chance upon. He doesnt seem to be as impressive as how others describe so i decided to drop him off as one of my shortlist.

Got my bro who is an interior designer to check out our future room on Sat, was impressed by his professionalism and seriousness at work as i never knew he has such qualities in the past. He gave us his precious advice on the design we initially wanted so that we can fully utilise space and still make the room look spacious with our needs in mind.

Went prawn fishing later in the evening and spent $43 on each rod to fish for 4 hours. Both BE and me were down on luck as we only managed to catch 4 (one of them is named Handy as BE caught it using his bare hands) after three hours. On the contrary, Dar and Ah Di caught about 30+, they are SO lucky and this makes us so jealous and demoralised.
At the very last hour, we decided to change our fishing spot and this tremendously improved our luck. In the end, Dar and Ah Di caught 38 while me and BE had 34 including 20 prawns contributed by brother.

We couldnt resist eating it on the spot so we borrowed the pit from the chicken wing stall owner and BBQ the prawns ourselves. I stuffed 14 in and felt so queasy after that. Cannot imagine how Dar can have 30+ at one go..............
Being a 4D fan, we went to buy 3834 for Sunday and the third prize turns out to be 3832. Argh..... how i wish we caught 2 prawns lesser so as to be a few hundreds dollars richer.

Today, me and Ah Di went for PSP seaching together with the guys after our yoga class. Bot it @ $395, felt so happy as i got a new gadget so that i can play the interesting monkey game which qiao has and BE can use this to keep himself occupied while waiting for me after work - Killing two birds with one stone.
