Since Putrajaya only accepts 15 couples a day, we reckoned that we don't need to be there so early...we planned to reach there by 9am. H looked dashing in his new shirt, and I have a rose bouquet in hand.<br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Mum, sis, brother, 3rd aunt and 2 besties will join us today. "Waa..so many people?" remarked H. Such an important day in my life, I would luv to have important people around to witness this occasion.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />Putrajaya is huge. One can easily get lose direction...just remember, to go to JPN, it is in Precint 2. So, just follow your way to Precint 2 and you will reach JPN safely!<br /><br />Our queue number was 2022, and when it was our turn, our ICs together with witness ICs has to be surrendered...together with a RM30 fee. There are four couples ahead of us, each couple will take about 5 to 10 minutes time. So, we took this opportunity to take some shots around JPN while waiting for our turn.<br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Finally, our names was called. First it was the signing of papers, and then we proceed to take our vows. Luckily it was conducted in English...phew! I understand every single word! I somehow paused a while before saying "Yes, I do".....causing a moment of laughter and nervousness, especially to dearest H. My brother even joked that I was about to say.. "Yes, I think so!" Hehehe!<br /><br />Anyway, it ended with an exchange of rings. The entire ceremony ended in less than 5 minutes, and we were left in the room to take pictures. This huge room was beautifully decorated, even have dummy cakes for photo shooting!<br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Finally, I am the official WIFE.

Things indeed have changed!! After weeks of holidays, I am now dragging my feet to office. I used to think that I cannot live without work, and that, I am somehow a career minded woman.<br /><br />But after 2-3 weeks of leave...geez, I realised how much I love the extra time, no pressure and no deadlines. Most importantly, no customer calls!!<br /><br />Here I am, sitting in the chair at the office...*ahem* I am not supposed to be blogging right? Anyway, can't help it but to pen down this current emotion I am experiencing. It is kinda weird for me. It is like I have lost interest TOTALLY in work and that, for the first time, I am looking forward to go home at 6pm! Strange, but true!<br /><br />Can I be a fulltime housewife? Sweeping? Mopping? Household chores?</span><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#990000;"><br />..............................<br /><br />Can I?<br /><br />..............................<br /><br />Ok, I still prefer my laptop and office chair!!

Thank god everything worked out perfectly as how I wanted it to be :)<br /><br />Endless compliments from guests on the food and deco, really made me a Happy Bride of the day! Not to mention the sight of familiar faces, and friendly smiles.<br /><br />Photographer Lawrence Ng did a fantastic job compiling the Tea Ceromony DVD capturing all the essential moments! MUA Cathy made me a cool hairdo which goes well with my favourite WG from GTC!! The Wishing Tree was filles with wishing cards...and the Wedding Cake from Choffles melted my heart...when I saw the sugar-crafting of my beloved doggies, Betsy!! </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286243639973524258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitwIGfnURthp8KfvJEHPhtq8lUuwO_qOoMzipQ2nFDehWdGTwmQJ3P7gmCQTfCPPwZt0Ggzz47hIhddiDN3AWowjTJoFmMt4LmGJU2VhtkuC1OacYUeJtlHVvO7VThdI0Y6d6uS57eBC9B/s320/Kelly+Wedding+Cake.JPG" border="0" /> <p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></p></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">We marched in around 2040, with Flower Girls leading the way...and *supposedly* sprinkling rose petals from their little basket.

It was 0615 and MUA Cathy will be at my house at 0630. Zzzzz....a small nap easily took 15 minutes and MUA has arrived! Gosh! I sprang out of bed and quickly brushes my teeth and took a shower while MUA prepares her tools.<br /><br />OOoops, I have forgotten to VEET myself and asked Cathy if she could spare me another 5-10 minutes in the shower!<br /><br />Around 7am, the makup started! Although it was a bit heavy for morning session, I told MUA not to worry...am sure it will be ok :) In my mind... "Hmm...where is Lawrence? Could he be lost finding my house?" ( I am "supposed" to email him the map to my house...*ahem*...supposed to laa) When dearest Betsy was barking, I knew it was Lawrence! Yay! He is here!!<br /><br />Lawrence was clicking away! My gown, shoes, etc, etc. Betsy somehow doesn't like him..hehe! From the way he take pictures, I knew I found the RIGHT guy to be my photographer for the day! :)<br /><br />0845..I called my bf to enquire his location...apprently, he and 4 of his "Heng Tais" are having wan tan mee breakfast! After a quick conversation, I told him NOT to come down from the car until my nephew opened the door for him! Hehe...afraid that he will just open the door himself!<br /><br />As I was hiding in the room, I missed out the games that they played outside. Entrusting my jee muis not to bully my boyfriend, I could only wish I have a pair of telescope that enables me to view the happenings outside! When he and his entourage finally passed through the barricade...he has one last task outside my room door. He was to recite a romantic poem for me..of course, it was written for him! When he read the first few lines, I shouted that "It was so UNLIKE him..." Hehe. He then, ditched the pre-prepared poem, and recited a few lines of his own...which, of course, sends shivers to my spine!!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286528477256307682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZhsDtsY2lefMw3Ar77XQmgqgQgElDbyX8YIp6ZGyAd_NmO1amOUYCdgtGrk1dog8FYHYLe9McUkoxhAIup4aUdtqRDDRZLM_D2YGXF8YuxZvv1p9ZKhEGwDIBgJoQZKdlImScXRrzUoF/s400/J169adj.JPG" border="0" /><br />The door was finally opened!

I even dreamt about the wedding day.<br /><br />It was raining non-stop and the whole place was flooded. The water was rising so quickly, and everyone was running for shelter. My wedding gown was wet, and I was running with my sis, my mum, etc to search for shelter! Water, water, everywhere!! My hair was wet, my makeup all ruined...I shouted to the people.."Can we postpone this wedding? Maybe do it another time?" Everyone was shocked, and I hear a voice.."Err...if you postpone, NONE of us will be able to make it as we have no more annual leaves" Geeez! ANNUAL LEAVE?<br /><br />And hey, I woke up!<br /><br />Tick tock tick tock. It was 8am already. Wow, time flies. My bf and his entourage will arrive any moment now! WHERE THE HECK is my MUA?

The ones included in my package is equally nice and lovely!<br /><br />I asked them if my album was ready.."Oh, not yet". However, they are able to provide me with a CD so that I can use them first! Ok...7 days more and I have this CD. What am I gonna do with it? Should I publish them in Facebook? Should I upload in my blog? Yes, no, yes, no, .....<br /><br />I have decided to keep it until the album is ready. Otherwise, there will be no more surprises. However, one thing that really surprises me was the photos. There are 3 different versions of me. I looked at the photo one by one...and of course, I can recognise it as myself. But, the one which we took it outdoor...wow, it looked like another girl. Actually, this was what I brought up to Casamia, I thought they did too much touch up....but when they showed me the real untouched photo...it looked the same! Aiya...so, it is the hair and make up. Yup, this is confirmed by the MUA whom said that the Audrey Hepbhurn hairstyle and make up really give me a different look! And this reminds me of the night after the last outdoor shooting, I went home with my makeup and hairstyle...my aunt said, she would not be able to recognise me if she sees me on the street!<br /><br />Yeahh...it was THAT different! </span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">And gee, this is the hairstyle I'm gonna do on 27th morning. Hmm..must tell my MUA to take it easy on the makeup then! So, here's a sneak peek of the photo of me and my sweetie...for those who know me..I am sure you will agree!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282103329771928578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 306px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 306px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNAPV4fEKnvtlc_9EFBdCdMrYQCj3PMlgYkCvrZAxWoU4xJ_tyQm8mka5Q-ApwuIDsgeYEv6iw9ZEGnChQlJ48_soAQUaa-npBeWsC0eEFwYl6R_WyRYy5TI1x2erWg2oZbEDb4xVU0JmN/s320/CHKG_Outdoor_5_frame.JPG" border="0" /></span></div></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">As to why we choose this picture, well..we reckoned that since it was so much hardwork and sweat and mosquito bites at Ulu Yam...we have to choose some outdoor pictures or else, our efforts will be wasted. Yeap, all the outdoor photos have this girl above which, I could not recognise myself too! Hehe! But on the other hand, this is the magic work of art and makeup! Just hope that I won't lose my memory one day and accused my husband of taking picture with another bride! Haha!<br /><br />The rest of the pictures?? Luv 'em :) and can't wait to get the album!</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-57169701421634631372008-12-19T20:26:00.000-08:002008-12-30T07:03:01.186-08:007 days to go..<div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663333;">How time flies! I will be moving out of this house, away from my mum & sis, away from my Betsy to begin a new life. As I was packing my things little by little, can't help but to feel a little sad. There will no longer be morning kisses from my Betsy, home cooked meal 24x7 and almost everything taken care of by my mum. And oh, will miss those "nagging" from my sis<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663333;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285598724974425746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 116px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 116px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMOYO3h9gDBdky7PGHR1fT0r9Iu8rPpbCIAzfgQoBBEoFd4N5sBKULFaIF-qG7tnauK6yksS-_0X-Lml_SxS36vAjkpi0TkfX_3NBaSlfmCUAFfIMHu-OWqMqDcY2Q_zLCl3948QKw64h/s320/Kelly.jpg" border="0" />After 7 days, it will be waking up next to my sweetie, and morning kisses from him. Yes, I do look forward to start a new life with him. It has been soo many years! Although I have to clean the house, and cook (a little) and wash the clothes (thank god we agreed to use landry services)...it would be a total new experience to see the same person when you open your eyes in the morning and close them at night.<br /><br />After this wedding, the next task is to of course, as expected by everyone around you, to *ahem* build a generation of new Wongs. Tick tock tick tock!</span></div><div> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-84945801028821338672008-12-18T06:19:00.000-08:002009-01-07T09:23:19.055-08:00The Perfect Teapot<span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I admit that I can be a pain in the a**...sometime. Fussy. Darn Fussy. I don't go for perfection, at least, I don't think I do, but certain things...has to be done MY way. MY choice. MY selection.<br /><br />Both my mum and I has been searching for the right Chinese Wedding Teapot for weeks now. Initially, I saw a set that I really liked, but it was sold off after we went back to the shop. We didn't buy it initially cuz I wanted to see more options :P</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />So, there we go. Less than a week..I still have not find THE teapot.<br /><br />Finally, mum puts pressure on me BIG TIME. "Aiyo...can you don't be so "im jim"??" She brought me to this shop and asked the lady boss to show me few samples of the teapot. My comments, well..erm..too small, too big, old-fashioned, ugly design, colour not nice, etc, etc. *AHEM*<br /><br />Due to time constraint, I have no choice but to pick this particular set. Seems to me, the "best" looking teapot amongst them all. After taking a picture and look at it many times, it looks ok to me now. Can do laaa....<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfhiW7d7_TWnSWOt7VtxLFDHmbS7nd7IASOd8GIlUQYyMyEy8rGmhaJ07lO1QeQSEaJtLu6hrXaAz_apXM1I6rJhcnTM6wHrbyXbC4_iSRIIJ36gbelBbMaAvKerLB2mV2DB7fnSAHHav/s1600-h/Chinese+Wedding+Teapot.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfhiW7d7_TWnSWOt7VtxLFDHmbS7nd7IASOd8GIlUQYyMyEy8rGmhaJ07lO1QeQSEaJtLu6hrXaAz_apXM1I6rJhcnTM6wHrbyXbC4_iSRIIJ36gbelBbMaAvKerLB2mV2DB7fnSAHHav/s320/Chinese+Wedding+Teapot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288602925396030338" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-30432489725845818252008-12-17T08:20:00.000-08:002008-12-30T07:06:17.323-08:00DIY Wrist Corsage<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">This is my 2nd attempt. After putting it on to one of my bridesmaid hand, it looked kinda pretty. :) I have done up two designs based on different flowers. I have decided to use artificial flowers as it serves two (2) main purposes:-<br />1. Can be wear anytime and not risk rotting<br />2. Bridesmaid can keep it for rememberance, if they want to<br /><br />Not bad!

A little troublesome, yes..but it is once in a lifetime thing...how difficult can it be? Furthermore, I miss the char koey teow as Lorong Selamat!<br /><br />Our plan was to leave KL early morning on Saturday and hope to reach Penang by noon. Plan, that is. We can plan, yes, but it is someone "up there" whom decide.<br /><br />My poor Betsy was vomitting and sleepless the whole night, I decided to take her to the vet on Saturday morning instead. The vet, Dr Siva confirmed she has stomach upset and bloody stool. She will need to stay overnight at the hospital and will be dripped. :( They wil conduct some tests on her, and will keep my updated on her progress.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286524742779091074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 253px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 175px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1MV7oVHNFgQ-KwcRFkrRyjMgSrqGjUoxtLZbF4UheJmjyTH2HkKB-uV2MwokuM5Ybzuwk1gB730u_kSilK8YZh8LfCJ1BDhCq_IUa3NCMCOGXJcBmWCnQQCcDxsDwUFTaDk80uA0bnGc/s320/DSC00625.JPG" border="0" /><br />I left my poor dog with a heavy heart and headed home. Can't help but cried upon reaching home as my mum & sis asked me about Betsy's condition. "I am sure she will be ok"...my mum assures me.<br /><br />We continued packing our things to the car and headed to PG. I wanted so much to stay, but at the same time, I need to deliver the invites as well. I told mum that, if my Betsy is critical, we will deliver the invites and leave PG the same day.<br /><br />The journey was horrible. It took us 6 hours ++ to reach PG. The traffic was heavy all the while!! But the good news is...my Betsy was fine :) The vet needs her to stay in for another night, to ensure that she is ok. Phew!! Now, I can enjoy my PG trip. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-50209151353261351292008-12-16T08:46:00.000-08:002009-01-01T18:52:25.628-08:00ROM 09012009<div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Apart from the fact that we need 21 days from the date of application to have our ROM done at Putrajaya, we have to look at the list of couples for the day. The JPN at Putrajaya only accepts 15 couples a day, and they don't ROM on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Errrm...shucks! All dates are full before 27th Dec. Asked the officer over and over again, he can't accomodate us in.<br /><br />How about 14th Feb 2009? Ooops, it falls on a Saturday. JPN's rest day.<br /><br />So, I left it to my bf to choose the date. He picked 9th Jan 2009, Friday net year. *thinking* Errm, why 9th of Jan haa? He told me, well...the number 9 is excellent for wedding, number 1 is good as well..so, combination of 09012009 is our ROM date!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286523497244997666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 91px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 125px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWsabikIM6sMYY2fBH9mF9tler4uBMDyMP1wzU1UWv5Kc6a2qppyPzwhe1TrjkdjMtjvWMbMAl0P5O4SA9Qx3ecFtj2AVJNWRbPQdW7HnklOrK5e2CKuVnfyyNEhNyWOeMdWTkKSwcc1Y/s320/baju.GIF" border="0" />Wahh...like that also can arr...how about 09092009 then? Isn't it better? :D Just kidding!!<br /><br />So, agreed, we booked that date! Signed and submitted the form. Before signing off, the officer remind us to be honest about each other's status, that we are single, never married before, etc, etc...or else, if found to be untrue...we will be fined RM 3,000/=.<br /><br />What? RM 3,000/= ONLY? Imagine deceiving someone's love and trust...and you only pay RM 3,000 fine? Unbelievable!!<br /><br />Anyway, now that our ROM is AFTER our wedding dinner, I am sure it would not be as excited before. I am also not sure if any of my friends will be able to join me as the date is after a long stretch of holidays and they might not be able to apply leave in the new year.<br /><br />Will see. :)<br /></span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-51200068686331231882008-12-16T08:38:00.000-08:002008-12-31T01:06:56.380-08:00Who's the groom?<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">I gave a call to one of my old classmate to invite him to my wedding. He was in KK and was surprised to receive my call, as we hardly kept in touch and only meet during friend's wedding, etc. Married with a wonderful wife and blessed with a few kids...he was really surprised!<br /><br />After few chats, there was a small moment of silent when I told him that I am getting married! "So, you have finally decided to settle down? You have done all your thinking carefully haa!!!" And when I mentioned my bf's name...he was laughing away! He told me that he was unsure if the groom was still the same old one!! Of course laa, I told him and we both laughed!

We brought along teh tarik kurang manis, curry mee, oranges and most importantly, my wedding biscuits! Mum found a good spot, and we placed all your favourite food on the table. With a josstick each, we climbed up to the 3rd floor. (if I have the $$, I would donate to this temple so that they can build an escalator and everyone, young & old can go to any floors they want)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">I opened up the little glass door..and CH officially inform you that we are getting married soon!

Their prices are non-negotiable, and is fixed regardless of designs. Two-tiers priced at RM 690/= while three-tiers priced at RM 1,100/=. Exclude cake topper, which you have to add on $$ depending on the designs...but generally, will cost RM 100/= more. I have selected a cutie bride & groom, and asked for a special add-on...my Betsy! The chef charges an extra RM20/= for this! All in, the cake cost RM 810/=...and this is a special wedding gift from my dearest dearest mum!! *muah* Luv her so much!!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280418442958742562" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 169px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZBTIHbxiy5wLI5G_5o2wLPRv0RLC8NPAOIDdkz0MSWKbQKfNhSSNBM3VjYrVqZUJwo3YcbKTtiR8_bgH4qvKOsD7E7J2uij39WEiIv5GOS1bq-7Hl90PZU6iYqGDjXzfML9p6-yI2y92B/s320/choffles.bmp" border="0" />Mum insist on buying it as she know I would LUV it so much! She wanted to buy me a gift that I would truly love and happy about! She said that, she can see I love the cake so much more compared to the jewelleries she bought for me...hehe. And not forgetting how my eyes gleam with happiness when the chef agrees to customise Betsy as my cake topper! Hehe! See, my mum really understands me :) Truly, my best friend of all time!!<br /><br />Below are some of the contacts and my personal, opinion about them:-<br />1) <a href="http://www.isabellakek.com/">http://www.isabellakek.com/</a><br />Sounds like a Malay cake shop, but was surprised that contact person was Ms Penny Gan. Pricing are reasonable, quoted me less than RM 700/= for a THREE tier, with my own design! Actually I made up my mind to order with them, but when I planned to drop by to their shop..there was simply no answer! I did inform Ms Penny on my intention (err..to at least, taste some of the cake) and that I shall be able to meet her around 3pm...but she was a little reluctant and told me to call in before hand as she might be "busy" running around. So...called, and no answer...too bad!<br /><br />2) <a href="http://www.cherylshuen.com/">http://www.cherylshuen.com/</a><br />Ms Pei Shuen was a friendly gal. Liked her instantly when talking to her over the phone! Her cakes are fabulous! Too bad she is actually located in Singapore. Unless I am in Johor, she is unable to help me! Pricing is reasonable and she can do according to our budget :)<br /><br />3) <a href="http://jodelibakery.netfirms.com/">jodelibakery.netfirms.com</a><br />Introduced by Per Shuen, I gave Jo a call. Too bad, her schedule for December 2008 - FULL!</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" >4) <a href="http://bigboysoven.blogspot.com/">http://bigboysoven.blogspot.com/</a></span><u><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ></span></u><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" >Read 'em and you will luv 'em! Pricing similar to Choffles, I think they add more "personal" touch to each wedding cake they design. I didn't opt for them...simply because...I forgotten about these boys! Yeah...it was, again, a last minute decision that I had to made...and at that time, I only have Choffles in my mind :P So, brides-to-be out there...I would strongly recomend these guys as Choffles tend to be more "commercialised" :P<br /><br />5) <a href="http://www.blackforesttavern.com/">http://www.blackforesttavern.com/</a></span><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" >Professional and beautiful cakes...pricey :) Three tiers cost around RM 1,200/= But then again, if you have the budget, why not? If on budget, they can even make a two tier dummy, and one tier real cake...that also...erm...cost around RM 800/=...<br /><br />So, there you go! My listing of preferred cake vendors! There are a couple more, but above are by far, the best or at least, the ones that I shortlisted :)<br /><br />Can't wait to see my cake next week!! Yay!!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-75779607130613886822008-12-14T08:33:00.000-08:002009-01-01T23:42:21.331-08:00My DIY Wedding Card<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">It was past midnight and my mum is sitting next to me, waiting for me to complete the envelope.

Initially, we plan to have a really simple GDL where an angpow will be given to my mum, and she will buy whatever she needs :P<br /><br />Again, originally.<br /><br />As the days come closer, my mum suddenly had a change of mind. After much listening to the aunties a.k.a friends about GDL, a simple one turns into *ahem* quite a number of things to do! My bf too had a shock, but then again, I reminded him that, the most important thing is to make my mum a happy woman. We agreed on this from the beginning, whatever my mum desires, we will try our best to do it :) Afterall, she is the closest one to me!<br /><br />The fateful day came, my bf and his mum arrives at 8am in the morning...*yawn*.. I was still half asleep but managed to put on a smiley face. Gosh, there were fruits, wedding biscuits, pork, chicken, etc, etc. My, my, my. Angpows and even a set of gold jewelleries. Goodness. Ok, have to keep the jewelleries as it seemed to be passed on from my future mum-in-law. *ahem* Gosh. Here's a picture of the wedding biscuit and my card:<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280793475153554002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 168px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijoMHLa7pz9bSHRBE0cisOzvY5i-9VmiBmvhoFIeiJ0b-qemofBZnTsdgiYQxFZ1xnDIbdPCZNFIiudgwWh8np8C-sW8r29YD2jBoAMo2GEhq4CuUke8wNoRYHq0FHnKHNfZwYK81Hj28Q/s400/Wedding+Biscuits.JPG" border="0" />After the exchange of gifts, where we in return, presented them back with some fruits, etc, etc including, a new pair of pants (geez) and bedsheets and stuff. Barter trade? Hehe...<br /><br />After that, we went straight off for breakfast and we were sooo glad...it is DONE. Marked DONE in my list of to-dos!</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-27804314605647698222008-12-11T09:08:00.000-08:002008-12-29T18:15:56.694-08:00Table Setting<span style="color:#990000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">We decided to do a mock-up at the restaurant so that my gf will know exactly what to put, and where to put it. I was told to hands-off on my wedding day, and leave it to the bridesmaid to handle it.<br /><br />It was almost 4pm, there was no one at the restaurant. Err...ok, we saw a few of them sleeping. We can't find the switches and are unable to turn on the light. We decided to proceed and decorated the table in semi-darkness.<br /><br />Luckily for camera phone my gf has, we managed to take some picture. Below are the changes needed:<br /><br />1. Flower Pot meant for our table number needs to be changed to a much simpler version.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">2. Ensure the chair cover is changed to a light champagne colour.</span><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285147418210170594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKzS-e9st13NL094cpsy49MZqSjcGzryMnVrUY1WXOnC1ahYwUWJJSkAGs7HpcqC51LorAwAGDh_zA7zl_v-qIb-ax34KZ88p6JjzUZeXNW5Utrh46QdNjClNr40yI360R8CvayFvDrM2m/s320/DSC00781.JPG" border="0" /> <span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#ff6666;"><span style="color:#990000;">Outside, we are shocked to find the "Yee-Sang" cart!

Yay! Finally! We will fill it up tomorrow, paste our photos, and submit it the next day! After that, we have to wait for 21 days, before we can finally SIGN, SEAL and KISS our Singlehood away!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#990000;">There are only 32 days left to our Wedding Dinner. Can we make it on time to ROM before this date? Haha..I don't think so! Perhaps, we will ROM AFTER the AD. Feb 14th is a good date! Sweet and romantic! Or...13th Nov 2009....or 9th Sept 2009...*chuckle*<br /><br />Have to sit down and ask my sweetie. :P<br /><br />I personally don't see any reasons or problem to ROM after the AD. As long as we ROM. As long as we sign the papers. :)<br /><br />And oops, I can't help but bought a REAL wedding band! REAL because this time, both are identical :) Will use this for as our ROM rings (although we are already wearing them now)..<br /><br /></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273726744358710610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 249px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLEBYaJ5-K_BcxlsxsJf0EC0tmbK1NYSVm-pDaBYv_9HHavZUHtMidWS__IXEB1vVk1216Z3tZC0CkO6i2-zvFMl1AOjpFEpPUZai3RcXpAM-LLTcZUiVP2UOfBdqKsPdvzdbEDnQikMX/s320/ROM+Rings.JPG" border="0" />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-32095893769335083882008-11-25T07:13:00.001-08:002008-11-28T06:37:09.349-08:00Hate 'em, Love 'em<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">When I first saw a pair of Crocs, I told myself.."What an ugly pair! How could any sane person have designed this? Phua Choo Kang must have a role in this! It looks so much like his yellow boot design! Yuck, yuck and yuck!<br /><br />That was quite sometime ago.<br /><br />Yesterday, mum was telling me about a pair of Crocs her friend showed her. She tried it on, and it was very very comfortable. Wow...nowadays, aunties are so up-to-date. Since I am on leave today, I decided to take her to IKANO and shop for a pair of Crocs. She asked me to get a pair too, but I told her "Nah, I don't wanna look like some sort of construction site worker!"<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Shoes and women. Women and shoes. We just have to try it. Whether you like it or not, since you're there, just try one. And viola! Dislike turns to Like. Hate turns to Love. A friend once told me, NEVER EVER say you hated something, cuz, in the end, you will highly probably luv it!<br /><br />Ok, I bought a pair for myself. Well..I have no slippers now. Didn't manage to try on a pair, as my toe was still in a bandage. But even on one foot, it looked cute! Hehe!<br /><br />So, here's my pair of Crocs. And mum looked cool in one too!!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273712998772881858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuueN_lvBJa92YrZxtlECV1Gv1B8hASqfRU-Dq-UArCBWTM_TDX9w73tzmZPciRvBGwkRvfCMXt_scwfuuBHfoVPq6MxwLBqeWlzhtRSC_Ku4g3qyYMYA6NN4oH87epIW4gcpbQw0V_nr/s200/DSC00746.JPG" border="0" /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-38651049510228224962008-11-25T06:58:00.000-08:002008-11-28T06:35:15.001-08:00Darah Manis<div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">According to my Malay colleagues, brides-to-be are believed to have "darah-manis"...aka "sweet-blood" (direct translation!). It is the time where brides-to-be are prone to small/little "accidents" that will cause small injuries. Royal brides-to-be will be required to stay at home or confined within one's home, not allowed to go out at all! Wahhhh....<br /><br />Last Friday, while on the way to work..I stopped at a nearby shop and slipped! My poor toe was severely in pain, with scratches on my leg. Ouch! I quickly visited a Dr Suresh, whom gave me a painful jab on my little toe, and snipping away some flesh and nails. OMG! Now my toe looks so ugly :(. He finishes it with a nice bandage around my toe! I was given an MC to rest at home as I will experience severe pain after the anasthetic is gone...Geee...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273712630993693538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtah0fkmAbYvvN5EhJ2Du2_n21uR-afL8S7e10P4hkMz3PIvVSCP7mvv06MfkYBofQY0bjXZlmfYoxP9xcctJJG0xcpoHqd4wWedzJcqH_CDS_4rMYlFXg2rQrFpzefgj0orxq0OV5phJu/s200/DSC00756.JPG" border="0" />Today, barely 5 days after the incident..and my toe was about to heal...I went to the bank, it was raining and it was slippery...and I FELL! Can you believe this? I FELL. POKAI. Seriously POKAI. This time, I hurt my back..bruises all over. :(<br /><br />Not wanting to believe in "Darah Manis" story, I blame in on my slipper. On both unfortunate occasion, I was wearing the same darn slipper. This slipper was purchased from a Manicure shop. Bye Bye Slipper!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695785129699305059.post-150381419150228622008-11-16T06:35:00.000-08:002008-11-17T06:56:06.210-08:00Trial Makeup<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;">Her name: Ms Cathy, a freelance MUA. I stumbled upon her at a bride's forum, where she advertised her services at <a href="http://www.simplychic.com.my/">http://www.simplychic.com.my/</a><br /><br />The one thing I really do like about her is that she is a very responsible lady, and does follow up promptly. That's why I decided to give her a try. PLUS, her package price is reasonable :)<br /><br />We met at 3pm, she came into my house with 3-4 bags. I requested a trial WITH hairdo. If I decided not to engage her, I will need to pay her RM 50/=. The trial lasted for more than 3 hours. It is considered LONG hours for a bridal makeup. It could be due to her lack of experience? Or, perhaps, some of her tools were missing? (since she admitted accidentally leaving one bag out for this trip) Whatever it is, it took 3++ hours!<br /><br />I luv the makeup. So did my mum, sis and a girlfriend whom was there. I luv the hair, cuz from front, it is how I wanted it to be. However, all of them commented that my hair is "too" messy (i requested for messy look) and that, Cathy's skill in hair wasn't too good. Hmmm.<br /><br />This MUA puts in so much effort, I can tell. After the whole thing, she apologises to me as she feels that she didn't do a good job...cuz, her tools were not with her. Hmm. Nice gal. And she even refuse to take RM 50 from me, instead, she insist that I do another trial with her. And this time, she will make sure she does not leave out ANY bags!<br /><br />At night, I asked my bf of the style. Indeed, he luvs it - the makeup - it was very natural. He also commented on my messy hair :P Cathy sms me later that night, and apologise and ask to for a change to arrange for another trial.<br /><br />Hmm. She is a nice gal. I like her. :) She uses MAC, Bobbi Brown, etc - good stuffs! Compared to my bridal studio MUA whom uses XXX brands...from China, I think? :P </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269639692322482642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 152px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfI7R7pXk4HvBlXLKqCvfohAueKp6SUnXs4Y8jp2J1k6DrNmqFaTZzyCh495slxGvnQurWoMx4XYrKDsfI45WgBo3QeWJ6PjzECmdZebbFrztaZq-Y5Yi6VIRhktyIzIoP2MOV5qiXaCQH/s200/kg_2.jpg" border="0" /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">So, decided.
