Wedding Invites for AD Selection & Car Deco_Flower Bouquet (19-9-09)

Early in the morning, I woke up to prepare because today, we’ve got a lot of things to do since 7th month is over!
This is the time to start preparing for the Actual Day Wedding too!
Gosh…

Ok, so first thing, we went to Yitai Hotstamping to confirm and order our AD wedding invitations. It only took us about half hr in there and the girl told us she’ll send us the soft copy template next Thursday afterwhich, if we confirm to print, then she’ll go ahead.
We were told that we’ve to tie the gold strings to the cards/inserts ourselves! Haa… think gotta engage help of others to do! ^^

"Cards, Cards on the wall, Who's the prettiest of them all?"After the printing company trip, we headed to BBC to choose my AD bouquet, car deco and also to see the photos layout.
Turns out that the layout is very sweet and colourful… :)

Didn’t manage to get the soft copies that day for both the edited and unedited (extra photos we bought) though. Told Kim that I’ll collect them on next Thurs when I collect my ROM gown instead.
Xiaofen also told me that she’ll be adding a string of blingblings to the peach ROM gown.. haha..hope it turns out nice… ^^

I've shortlisted 2 bouquets.. This one below and the 2nd pic below... Which is nicer??
Cast your votes and let me know, ok?? *Turning into a Bridezilla!* :p

Before we left for Orchard, we dropped by at Suntec's Travel Fare and guess who I saw? haha... Tay Ping Hui... Macho handsome guy! *drools*

After the selection, we went to Orchard’s Takashimaya to buy sweet wedding card. My intention was to use the card for the guests to sign. While browsing the many nice cards, I saw a very nice Prince & Princess Pop-up card and being the Princess-fanatic, I decided to buy it to add to the deco for the reception table. Hahaha.. so ended up, I bought 2 cards.

So the cards are settled and then we went to the basement and saw that there’s the mooncakes sale with many vendors! We ‘snaked’ in with the crowd and went around sampling different mooncakes. HAhaha… I find myself loving durians mooncakes this year!! And also the yam/pumpkin flavor mooncakes!! Alright..let me go dig out the pricelist/pictures before I post them here again…

BB with my drink again!!! Mango Lemonade...*slurp slurp*

Registry of Marriages - Wedding Docs Collection (18-9-09)

This morning, BB & I went to Registry of Marriages to get our ROM documents.
We took a taxi from Peninsula Plaza Hotel up to ROM because we thought it’ll be a far walk up the hill..but who knows..haha.. the driver said it’s very near only and the taxi meter didn’t even jump.. ahhaa… So we paid $3 for just sitting in the cab for abt less than 5 mins… *faints*

Alright, we were 2 blur sotongs and after reaching the place, we were like trying to find instructions on what to do next when this attendant came to us and told us to get Q no. first. Haha… *malu*

So there we are… we’ve to do a declaration in front of the officer before we can collect our docs.
After collecting docs, BB and I went to Funan Mall to have our Mac breakfast/lunch.
I ordered Mega Mcspicy! Haaha… end up, that evening, I had a very bad bloated stomach and felt dizzy and wanted to throw up.. think I ate too much even though after that Mac meal, I didn’t have anything else for the whole day! :p

While waiting for our turn....we took some snaps... *CHEEZE**

Haha...the flashboard actually shows our number, but when taking this pic, just so happens that it flashes off --> see the top row missing number? :pHere's the docs that was collected: Wedding Certs (2 copies) & Some marriage preparation booklet in the pink folder ^_^

OSIM Trialthlon 1-8-09

Last Friday 31-7-09, I met BB at ION Orchard to do some 'window' shopping before we went to meet his army pals.
We passed by this japanese store at the basement selling imported japanese stuff. hee... can't help but 'pestered' BB to buy 2 boxes of the japanese eclaire.. kekeke....

I haven't opened the boxes yet, so can't show u all the goodies inside. :p But don't u think that their packaging are very nice? hehe...

The shopping bag

The 2 boxes of Japanese Eclaire: Both are supposed to be the same just that the toppings for the top box is supposed to be fish tofu crumbs, and the bottom box is normal flakes. hee...

Both have choco and vanilla fillings.

The drawings are so nice... ^_^

Then the next day (Saturday 1 Aug 09), I ended up with a sunburnt 'chest' after going for the OSIM Trialthlon which was held at East Coast Park.
Ohhhh NooooOOO ~~~~~~ (+___+;)
Hope it'll recover soon cos it feels itchy and so red like a lobster... sob sob...

BB was tasked to do the 750m swim in the sea while his 2 colleagues are to do the 5km run and cycling.
I found it really amazing for those doing the swimming part because there were quite a number of 1st timers especially those participants who are women! I can't imagine myself swimming in the sea sia.... I'm a timid princess! HAHAHAH.... *but I can imagine those people's legs turning wobbly not on ground but in the sea, and looking like a jellyfish.. keke...*

BB was saying that participants for the next day's challenge would be doing the 1.5km swim which is double that of what he's swimming that day! Oh gosh.... that's such a super duper long distance!! *salutes those participants*

The running and cycling track...

The Yellow arc entrance for the Swim

Gathering for the call before the start of the swim..

I tried to capture the 'wide-ness' of the 750m swim..but unable to do so..hahaa... anyway, the white floats shows the boundary and swimmers are supposed to swim outside the borders of it. The are within the boundary is for warm-up exercises.

The White-caps started... can't remember how many groups are there.. but they're differentiated by the diff color caps they wore..

Close-up..
The pink-caps..I think these are the women.. lol.. can't remember what color they wore actually cos there's so many groups..

See the safety guards on standby, just in case anyone needs help back to the shore.
Alright.. here's BB's green-cap group Getting ready..hee...
CHIONG AH~~~

Swim Swim...
More swim swims.... keke.. alamak..think alot of them got some 'fish-kicks' or 'frog-kicks' esp when they swam too close to one another..hahaha..
Yeah~~ BB completed!

Anyway, we went back at about 3pm and I finally bought my Scrapbook Album that evening from UrbanWrite! Woo hoo!! This scrapbook album is supposed to be my Guestbook too. hehe... So my next task would be to do some simple deco for the scrapbook as it already comes with made-ready deco-papers. ^o^

Personalised Chocolate Favours 15-7-09

I was surfing the net today and found an interesting wedding favor which can be found under Personalcreations.com

I just find the cartoon images of the wedding party group so cute! And you can choose different designs of the wedding party ranging from pageboys to bestmen etc and tag a name underneath their cartoon pic! =p

This lets me thinking of doing something similar for an extra wedding favor..hehe...*winks*

I had my final gown fitting on last Sunday. And I'm allowed to take pictures of all my gowns..haha.. so here they are.. :)

My Actual Day Wedding Gown =) hmm... They had a veil to cover the bling bling belt temporarily for now as a protection..cos they're scared that the blings crystals will drop off..haha...

2nd Indoor Photoshoot Flowery Wedding Gown (I love this sweet gown..hee..)

My Outdoor Photoshoot Gown (hmm..looks abit plain without the belt...)

Here's the version with the belt...haha..This is the silver belt..but I requested for a baby pink BIG LONG ribbon belt already...hee....but I didn't take any pics of the pink belt *pity..:(* At the same time, as I can't decide which color belt I may want to use..I also requested to take a dull green and this silver belt out with me for the photoshoot..haha...

The 6th light sweet pink evening gown for indoor photoshoot.. I initially choose this as my AD evevning gown..but later, I changed to the dark maroon one due to advices from friends and family =)
Okie...here's the ROM one which I WANTED SOOOOO MUCH!!!!! It's so nice.... BUT BUT BUT.... *sadz...* someone has already taken this gown for her ROM which is 1 day before mine... :(:( sobz....

Sooo..... I decided to choose this peach pink gown instead... sorry... the lighting didn't really show the gown's true color..hee....
Anyway, the gown has in fact a pretty long train..but Jenny told me that it can actually be 'shorten' (shown in this pic) by clipping the extra train to the back of the waist area (hidden with clips) hahaha...

After the fitting, we had a snack at Secret Recipe... here's BB with a BlackForest Cake..

I...think I ordered a Chocolate Strawberry cake (can't really remember the name...) hee...
