Wedding Bridal Shoes (Part 2) 30-5-09

Saturday, BB and I went Jurong Point with the main aim of getting BB's ROM shoes which I saw going at a discount on Thursday when I was there shopping with a friend. (*^_^) hee hee.. then after his getting his loot, we just window-shopped around until I just went into the Anna Nucci shoe shop cos I was attracted by the bling bling shoes! hahaha... OMG** I don't know why but I always have an urge to buy some shoes everytime I step into a shoe shop and found pretty nice shoes!! That's why BB always try to pull me or 'block' my view from these shoe shops! hahaha...

Okie, so I ended up buying another pair of bridal shoes that can be worn in 3 different designs. *lol* I was thinking I shouldn't waste those bridal shoes cos I've seen some BTBs buying those super bling shoes and ended up only wearing them 1-2 times and off the shoes go -- standing hidden in the shelves.
The shoes's original price tag was abt $79..but I got it off a discount and closed the deal at abt $55. :p hee hee... but I got a free $8 worth of shoe strap to replace the satin strap which can be tied in 3 different ways. ^o^

So, I think this new pair shall be my AD shoes instead since my royal Queen mom said I shouldn't keep changing my shoes on the AD ~~ best is to wear only 1 pair of shoes the whole day :(:( (superstition loh.... then how abt BB?!! Does it mean he has to match his cream day suit with black shoes??!! Aarrrgghhh.... let me think of a solution again..:)

As for the earlier C&K bridal shoes, I'll wear it for my ROM. :)

Ohh, we also collected our Love & Co wedding bands that day! Love them..kekeke... Shall keep you all in suspense and let my ROM photographer do his job of taking pics of the rings! =p

My new bridal shoes! Able to let the guests see my princess toes on the AD! hahaha...
I will be replacing the white long satin straps with leather straps instead. ^_^
Not as high as the C&K's shoes, but I should say it's a very comfortable height! ^_^ It's about 2 inches?

Love & Co Wedding Bands (23-5-09)

Last Wednesday, I received a call from Love & Co to inform us that our wedding bands are ready for collection. ^_^ *WweeEEee!!~~~
So on Saturday, BB and I went down to the Raffles City Brh to collect and try-on the bands. hehe.. when I saw mine, my heart was so full of excitement..haha.. because it's just so gorgeous!!!! The next thing to do will be to do the engraving. ^^

The SA told us that the max no. of characters we can engrave is 15... Is that true?? Because when I saw the receipt on which she wrote our engraving..there's altogether 20 spacing... :( BB said maybe the rest of the 5 spaces needs cost? DUHZ.....Anyway, didn't ask her why cos we've already decided on what to engrave and it fits nicely - 15 spaces, no more & no less.
It's quite hard to decide what to engrave on the spot.. so BTBs, my suggestion is for you all to check with the shop on how many characters are available first, before u go down to collect your rings. Of cos, if you're in no hurry, you can just tell the SA that you'll come back another day to cfm on the engravings. =)

So, we have to wait for another 1 week before we can collect our rings. heee.....

That weekend, I found a pair of white laced shoes from Charles & Keith, suitable for my AD. hee... yeah... and it was bought off a discount at $29.90 ~ Usual price $59.90!
BB also managed to get alot of things. Hahaa...it's like his shopping spree time! He found his pair of wedding shoes (Beige color that matches his off-white suit on the AD), a pair of new frameless specs which costs him a bomb (cos he was complaining tt it's his most exp pair ~ $260) and I also bought him a new wallet for his Birthday. (*^_^) Yeap, that's right, that Sunday is BB's birthday! haaa.....
My white laced bridal shoes.. hee...
The heels are abt 3 inches tall... =p keke... BB must also wear "high-heels" to match me too liaoz..hahaa...

Anyway, we've got so much to do for this coming week.. geez....getting ready for our Signoria photoshoot on 8 Jun (Mon). I've got to finish preparing my props..haaha... do some last min DIETING!!! whereas BB nids to go for his Dental appt and cut his messy hair.. *lol*

Talking abt props, I've accomplished another task! Ho Ho Ho~~~
The finished product of the item shown in my last post...haaha...
It's a HUGE enlarged version of a diamond ring...lol lol....
I placed my camera pouch beside the 'ring' so that you can visualise how big this ring is.. hahahaa....
I was actually planning for a story-like kind of photoalbum for my Signoria's shoot, thus those props. =p I hope the photographer will know what I mean and want..so I'm planning to go early that day to discuss with the PG. Hope everything goes well..hee.. and once the album's ready, will post online in the gallery. =)

Valentine's Day 2009 part 1

Where did you all go to on St. Valentine's Day this year?(*^_^*)
Yesterday was a day whereby I saw so many couples all coming out on the streets..gosh..hahaa....They're everywhere! You can see girls carrying bouquets of flowers, and GUYs too..hee.. They poor thing, have to carry girl's bag and flowers too, on that day. What to do? It's practically a GIRL's day mah.. haa....

BB asked me to meet him at Suntec City's Giordano @ 5pm. He only came at 535pm!! argghh... anyway, while waiting for him, saw a funny thing! It's a pity that I forgot to take photo of it..hahaa...because I was busy laughing my head off. You know what? I was standing and waiting outside Giordano's manequins' display window there beside IORA. Then 1 family walked past and the little boy was giggling and pointing to his sister to look at the manequin beside and behind me. His sister glanced towards his pointed direction and giggled out loud. I was so curious and thought what happened and so looked behind lor..
HAHAHAHA.....
It's actually the "MALE" manequin's pants has been either "pulled down" or "dropped by itself" to below his knees. hahaha... It looked so funny even though it's not a real man's! Saw a few more family/couple/friends walking by and said "Hey, his Ku4-Zi3 diao4 liao3" haha..

I decided to move away from that place cos if people anyhow take photos of me wif that manequin, then DIE liao lor..it'd look as if I'm the suspect!! ahhahaa....
Oki, finally BB arrived and looked apologetic. Me wasn't really angry la cos I know he's rushed down from his workplace to meet me. =p
So, the next place we went to was to explore LOVE & Co's wedding bands since I read from forums that theirs are very nice and they've wide selection of bands. Well, their place is really sooo beautiful and fit for a Princess like me. MUHAHAHA.... I especially like their big chandeliers which are hung at the center of their showroom.
One thing I like about Love & Co is that their SAs are friendly. :) Calvin (from Suntec's outlet) was the one who attended to us. We saw a couple of rings which we like alot. Me shortlisted 2 rings for myself - a chanel setting with diamonds surrounding half the band, and another one with 3 rows of diamonds surrounding half the band. If I remembered correctly, was quoted S$1728 and S$1200+ respectively. Calvin wrote the models for us and we told him we'll shop around first before making the decision. It's great there as we don't feel being "pushed" to buy. (^_^)p

As we left, I saw 1 pair of chunkier WBs which looked like those which Kings & Queens would wear as they're very BLING BLING! haha...BB said we can go in to try again but I told him nvm next time bah. So he brought me to the surprise venue for dinner..
His surprise venue is none other than Hog's Breath Cafe @ Chijmes. The 1st time we went there was last year's 3rd anniversary and the experience was good as the food was very nice. =)

Yesterday's menu was a 4-set course dinner.

Here's BB with the appetizer - Salad

Me with Passion Fruit Soda & Salad

The Main Course - Terriyaki Chicken & Cod Fish wif Mash potato - YUMMY!!
Very thick Cod Fish.. hehe... so delicious! It's definitely so much better than Big O's Cod fish which is only half its thickness!! *Slurp Slurp*

Eh... missed out on the soup part..but there's nothing much about the soup..just vegetables wif sliced chicken meat pieces..hee... and waiters forgot to serve us soup until we've finished our main dish...haa... but lucky lor, cos if we drank soup first, then we surely won't be able to finish the main dish. ^_^

Here's the dessert! Another great combi of Cold icecream with Warm cake..tastes like butter raisins cake..

Ahh... here's the main SURPRISE of the day.. haha... presenting the PRESENT from BB!! Taa-Daa... it's a raspberry cheescake which he made himself! *lol*
He was telling me not to luff at him before I open to see what it is. Cos.. he said other people's cake are concave whereas his... is *Convex on the top part..haha..

*means the top part of the cake sinks in abit in the middle..hahah...
But nonetheless, it's still a wonderful great effort from BB though I know he's got a scolding from his mom and sister for messing up the kitchen!

After the wonderful meal, the waiter gave us the feedback slip to fill up, and look.... BB is busy filling it up.. *THUMBS up*

After the meal, we walked to Raffles City and passed by Love & Co again..haha.. so this time round, still "gian-ning" the chunky royal rings, we went in to try them out and were served by this nice chatty SA - Floribelle. She's from Philippines and just came here to work 2 mths ago wif the initial thought of joining her husband to work in SG. However, just last mth, her husband was retrenched... :( and her eyes teared abit when she talked about her 10-yr old son whom misses her very much. Anyway, since her hubby has airlines experience of 8 yrs, we told her to ask him to try out SIA lor.. hope everything'll out for her as her hubby (who flew bk to philippines after retrenched) and son will be coming to visit her 2 weeks from now! (^o^)m

Alright, back to the rings, well... it didn't look so nice on our fingers and I think it wasn't practical lor..cos it's really chunky! haahaa...but BB did choose a simple white gold glossy surface band for himself after trying and finding that yellow and rose gold rings doesnt reaully suit his skin color..haha... and worse are those with diamonds! *lol* So, I think diamond rings shld still be left for the LADIES!! *lalalalal*

For a preview of some of their rings, visit this ->

We tried "LVC Promise" chunky bling bling rings. :p But my heart's with LVC Ceterno.

After the visit, we walked down to Esplanade and couldn't find "The V Tea Room". Could it have changed its name to "The Cookie Musuem"? hmm.. cos I always thought that place's The V Tea Room..
Well, there's a public singing performance @ the public stage outside Esplanade near the sea. Very nice...sitting there, listening to songs wif gentle breeze blowing against your face..=)

Here's a pic of us there..supposed to capture the heart shape lei..but the auntie didnt take properly. :p
See the red heart in between our heads?
