Merry Christmas

Sharing food with the toys in my room for Christmas  🙂

Although I am not a Christian, I enjoy Christmas being a joyous occasion where everyone is in a giving spirit. Merry Christmas everyone! 🙂

On a separate note, I apologise for the infrequent and inconsistent updates to this blog recently. Am quite busy lately. Here’s just a few items

1. Planning and preparation for my traditional wedding ceremony and banquet next year on 12 June: Rachel and I are trying to DIY most of the stuff, hence more time and effort is needed.

2. Planning for our solemnisation ceremony: We are attempting something no one else in Singapore has done before. We are 99 percent ready. There’s one final hurdle though – I need to get a deferment for my ICT which coincides with the dates. I will fill everyone on the details once this final hurdle is cleared. Anyone has experience getting an ICT deferment for wedding or solemnisation? What are the odds for success? I am still waiting for a reply from MINDEF which will take will more than two weeks and I am very jittery over the outcome as I do not have enough time to appeal if it’s rejected.

3. Moving house – I am moving out of my home for over 20 years next year, just before Chinese New Year. There’s a lot of packing to be done.

4. I need to lose weight for the wedding.

The list goes on.

Hence please bear with me if there’s a lag in update. I will still try my best to maintain one post a day (excluding weekends and public holidays). I appreciate the support from everyone who has been following this blog regularly. Do continue to support Alvinology. 🙂
