After a weekend of working at the fair, I’m so glad to be home again, with a bucket of warm water for my aching feet and a TV remote in hand. Before I could retreat to my comfy sofa, I have one more task to do – a teleconference with Jo Han and Ur Cheng who will be calling me at 11pm from London to discuss on their wedding  progress. So, while I have 15 minutes or so, here’s a quick update on some highlights of my working weekend.

About 2 weeks prior to the fair, I doodled a rough sketch of our booth on a note pad and passed it on to June to execute my very ‘rough’ sketch.

I decided to make it simple. Just white + fuchsia pink. After all, the fuchsia pink is our ‘trademark colour’. It was a coincidence that Precious Petals, the florist next to our booth, set up a white & pink themed tree which really helped make our booth prettier!

I even wore my favourite pink heels to the fair!! Now, is this dedication or what. haha..

I booked a night at the hotel so that we didn’t have to travel back the following day. Although it was just a short distance from PJ to Subang, I thought we could do with a little R&R after the fair. We had a late dinner at Windmill restaurant, and retreated to our cozy room right after a hearty meal. Our room is like a time machine. It is exactly as how I remembered it when my mom and dad used to bring us here when we were young. That was like ..20 years ago!! Holiday Villa back then was pretty cool. Now, it just feels dated and in desperate need of a face lift.

The following day, my cousins paid us a visit at our booth. Lynne was back from Bermuda while Zynne was back from Adelaide for a short break and it was great meeting them! In that very brief 20 minutes or so, Lynne managed to show me some ‘updates’ on her life in Bermuda. Happy for you, girl!

I think I did quite an alright job doing my social rounds speaking to all the vendors. Got to know some new vendors with some interesting products at affordable rates. I certainly look forward to opportunities in working together with you guys some time soon!
