Sound Test @ Villa Halia (21-9-09)

Went Halia to test the sound systems with bro- Johnathon & his gf (Kelly) in the morning.

Then went over to Tampines to meet BB.
While waiting for him, I shopped again!!! And bought a light grey top at Mulana selling at $19.90 . hahaa… wanted to continue shopping but BB then reached.

We went to Sea-horse to take a look at the pillows and sofa.
We ended up buying/ordering the Memory pillows (abt $19.50 each, Usual price: $79) and also the long sofa which BB’s mom quite liked ($949.50, usual price:$2399). Not sure why they slashed down the price by so much but it could also be part of their sales tactics. Hahaa… but it sure feels good to imagine ourselves getting a good deal. Hahah.So the delivery date is scheduled to be on 17 Oct. *hooray*

After the visit to Sea-Horse, we went to Serta to finalise some details with the sales-girl. We managed to bargain for 1 more sheep! Hahaha…

So.. our bed details would be: Missouri King sized bed Bedframe = S$3449
Free gifts: 2 pillows (+ 1 more free pillow from free lucky dip, so total 3 pillows), 2 mattress protectors, 2 sheeps plushies, and 1 bed bench .

Then in the evening, we also managed to find one cupboard that’s suitable to put my bags + extra clothes beside the main wardrobe! *Yippeee**

DIY Hair Dye Liese Har Bubble (20-9-09)

Today’s itinery is to meet BHBZ Gang at Jurong Point at 3pm to pass them the invitation cards for ROM as well as to catch up with the 2 moms-to-be.

Some final preview of my ROM Invitation envelopes..

Before I went for the ‘date’, I quickly did a fast DIY of dyeing my hair using the widely advertised “LIESE HAIR BUBBLE COLOR”.

It’s just so easy to use!
I thought it would be very messy & uneven cos of the foam and also because what the forum people had feedbacked…BUT no… it’s very easy and hassle-free.

I follow the instructions very strictly and the foam turns out to be very thick and 1 box is enough for my long hair (below bra). Hahaha… Saves me so much money!! Because the last time I used DIY hair color, I used up 2 boxes of dye.
But this time round, I only spent $15.90 and get my whole head dyed into a Marshmallow Brown color.. hahaha.. I love my new hair color now. :p

I’m gonna try different hair colors next time round!!

Oki, let me share with u what I did:
1) After mixing the 2 bottles of chemical solutions, it was said that we need to lather our hair with the foams within 20 mins before we let the colour set. The mixture foams very quickly, so not to worry. It took me about 15 mins to lather my hair into thick foam. Haha… and to prevent the foams from turning into liquid foam & dripping into my eyes, I kept on lathering my hair. Haha…*Note: Try to do it in open air area as the ammonia smell can be stinging to the nose and eyes. Wrap a long towel around your neck & back to prevent staining your clothes.

2) After the foam, I let the foams set for 30 mins. It was stated that the recommended setting time is 20 – 30 mins depending on the color intensity that I’m looking for. So I opted for 30 mins as I thought the brown color won’t be so obvious.

3) After setting, I washed my hair before I used the little pack of treatment included in the box. It’s my 1st own DIY hair dye (previously was dyed by my mom) and I love the even brown hair colour that it turns out to be. (*^_^*) Recommended to my mom and friends already! Haha…

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…

Having our dinner at Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant
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 ^_^

Dinner outing with the S.H.E.s (11-9-09)

Today had a dinner outing with the S.H.E.s…
We had wanted to have dinner at Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant at Orchard ION but alas, the queue was terribly long! I wonder how long we’ll have to wait for before it’s our turn.. *faint*..
So we decided to change our dinner place to a few shops beside it, called “OSAKA Hiroshima Ramen”.

Here’s some pics of the “Cha Shu Ramen” we ordered together with some mayo prawns and fried tofu.

Pardon me for the 3/4 finished mayo prawns and tofu..hahaa... too hungry at that time.. :p

Oily Ramen ya!... Sandy's even oilier!!

After dinner, we had our dessert of Chocolate Fondue with fresh fruits @ Wheellock Place’s Coffee Club.
It’s a nice place to just chill out with your friends especially at night as it can be quite windy. Since it’s outdoor, u can also get to just relax and watch passers-by stroll by while enjoying your cuppa coffee/tea. :)

The S.H.E.s girls....hahaha...

Sooo tired..... (7-9-09)

Darn.. I was so so very tired today!
I didn’t sleep at all for the whole of yesterday’s night!
I think it was most probably due to the caffeine effect that I had yesterday noon at Coffee Bean! Arrgghh… it was just so terrible…
U know that kind of feeling whereby u want to slp but when u close ur eyes, your mind is still very active and starts to think of many things to kip u from drifting to dreamland??

Blehs… terrible!
So today, I was almost like trying to fight a hard battle with “Mr Sandman” cos he’s drawing me to sleep during office hours!
Alright alright, I will let him win the battle when I go home and lie on my bed tonight!!! Hahaha…

Wedding Favors - Love Candies Jar (6-9-09)

Yesterday, I finished tying ribbons to all the favors jars, touched up on the shout-outs and also cut out all the little tags to be placed on the guests’ tables etc.
I was very bored at home alone cos BB had an assignment for the whole day. He only came back at around 9+pm and all of us, together with his cousins who came all the way from KL to Singapore, then headed to this restaurant somewhere near Bugis to have our very very late dinner.
Yawnz… that night, I only get to sleep at about 2+am.

Today, I bought a MM’s eyeshadow palette and Maybelline’s zeropore makeup base after much hesitation. Haha… I ended up buying cos there’s the 20% off sale at Watsons now. I had also bought an electric kettle jug on Friday as happened to pass by Isetan Tampines and they were having a sale. Bought my kettle @ S$19 after all the discount. Heee…..Yipee.. can start boiling water in office!! *grins*
After shopping, BB and I had a drink at Coffee Bean before I went home.

Flowers for Guests' Tables Part 3 (2-9-09)

hahaha.... my "Chap Chai" aka green leaves are completed yesterday! ^_^
This will end my project of the flowers...
Next thing to crack my head will be the 'scrapbook'..hahaa.... as well as tidy up/touch up/finalise those completed DIYs!!!

The green leaves stalks...hehee... really look like some kind of raw vege!!!

Yeah... Sandy previously had asked me to write down a wishlist for the ROM...haha...

so this Vintage victorian lamp below is one of the things in my wishlist!!!

This can be found at Westmall's pushcart.

The auntie's selling 2 sizes for this lamp : Big one (the one shown below) and a small one.

She's able to give a discount too but she said she'll only be here till 22 Sept!! *hint hint* isn't it just a nice time to buy ?? *hiak hiak hiak**

There's also other nice country-styled items on her push-cart and she's got a showroom at somewhere...err... I need to dig out the name card..:p

I can't take a proper nice shot of the lamp becos I'm secretly taking pic of it while she's busy. hahaa...

Anyway, the purpose of the wishlist is just so that guests won't end up buying 2 similar gifts.. keke... I'm still in the midst of compiling the wishlist but sent it out by 'mistake' today. *lol*paiseh paiseh... (^_^)p

This vintage table lamp is so sweet and country-styled. I love it alot...hee... and this is in white lace!!! Yipee!!!

Collection of Signoria Free Photo Album & Portrait Part 1 (22-8-09)

We were supposed to get our photo album and portrait from Signoria today.
And to all BTBs… I have some feedback to make about this bridal shop!!!!

Arrgghhh…. They have super bad customer service…yucks…..
They didn’t bother to give us a call to inform us that our album are ready for collection since 2 weeks ago until I called them up to check!

Oki… this is small matter..
but what really makes me fumed up is that when we went to collect, do u know what we saw?!!!

Our portrait picture is the wrong photo! It wasn’t the one we’ve selected!
Not only that, even the album pics arrangement order are wrong!... OMG… what sloppy work they have!

I have specifically told them during selection of pics time that I want my pics to be in certain numbering orders and the guy even wrote down the numbering order behind the pics.
He even made a mark on the pic that is supposed to be for the portrait.
DARN… I forgot his name…he’s supposed to be the graphic designer lor….

So I told him about their mistakes and he said will change for me but will need to wait for another 3 weeks. Gosh….
They have such differential treatments for lucky draw winners and REAL customers of their shop!
I bet they will sure treat the customers who spent tons of money at their shop compared to those who are on a budget!

Blehs… How will I even dare to recommend this bridal shop to my friends who are also getting married?
And they also ended up spending more time and money to re-do the portrait and album.

Angryz…..

Belated Bday Celebration for Wiwi (21-8-09)

Went out with OCAS gang today and had dinner at AglioOlio at China Square.
It’s a cosy little restaurant outlet for spagettis. The food and price is reasonable and taste-wise is also not bad. =)

After the dinner, we headed out to Boat Quay’s pub for a drink and KTV with some games.
This outing is actually to celebrate a belated Birthday for our dear Wiwi.
She’s getting married next year in September! ^_^
I’m excited for her too..hee… don’t know if she’ll be holding 2 banquets? One in SG and another in Indonesia?

We did some cam-whoring at Boat Quay before we ended the day….yawnz.. I get tired so easily these days.. :p

Got a Shock at Work today (19-8-09)

Met BB after work at Raffles City cos I was telling him how sad and bored I was at work today. This was only my 4th day at work at my new company when I had a shocking news in the afternoon before lunch.

Gosh… My boss told me that he’s leaving end of the month cos just received news from Head Office that they want to ‘change’ management. Together with him, another 6 management heads are going getting the ‘axe’….
It’s just so sudden and so shocking…
I am also at a loss now becos I am not sure who am I going to report to or will there be any changes to my job scope…Sigh….

Anyway, I bought a red tissue gift wrap at Raffles City basement today for $1.20 after mom told me that some red roses will be pretty.
So I’m adding these red roses for deco use on the couple chairs at the Solemnisation table.
