We have gotten our wedding date! Actually the shifu gave us a list of 15 dates to choose from… But we have more or less decided… it will be on 20.01.2009! We chose this date cos it’s the closest to our ROM date (almost exactly 2 yrs later). Easy to remember & can celebrate both happy occasions together every year. The shifu said 2008 is a good year for chickens to get married but monkeys must get married after the 8th lunar month. This maps to Q408 to Q109, which is coincidentally coherent with our preferred wedding period (cos need to save more $$ in the meantime but dunwan to drag till too late… hotel prices are increasing significantly every year!)

Talking about the shifu, he’s pretty good yet his charge for wedding date calculation is inexpensive @ $38. Bryan Wong (and he said Vincent Wong too) goes to him for fengshui audit for his home renovations – saw their photo together there. Should my work still be so full of bumps, it’s highly probable that I will go back to him for fengshui audit for our 5-room ($588).

Now that we’ve gotten our wedding date, we shall now go shopping for hotels! In another 2 days time, it would be 070707. Heard tt this is a very popular date for weddings, cos not only is it easy to remember, it also falls on a weekend, and coincidentally is generally considered auspicious. So hubby & me think it’s the best day to go around shopping for hotels to hold our banquet! Sounds like fun! :P
