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…

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 ^_^

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…

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*

Presenting my Sweet-Heart Rose Penstand 13-7-09

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...

Marina Barrage 11-7-09

BB and I have finally watched Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen, last Friday 10-7-09, after like 2 weeks since it's opening? haha...Anyway, I just want to say again, it is the BEST movie ever for this year??!!
I just totally HEART my lovable BUMBLEBEE!!

Found an interesting old cartoon picture of Transformers..*feels like I'm travelling back in time to my childhood days and I can still vividly remember the sounds they make when they transform..*Ahhh... I miss those days!!

Here's an old pic of BumbleBee..hahaa...very 2D right?

Did you all realise that BumbleBee also stands for BB in short?!! hahaha...Gotta force BB to buy BumbleBee's toy for me, and to buy a sports car like BumbleBee's!! At the same time, to have the sound of the car lock system to sound like Autobots! Hiak Hiak Hiak~~~

Okie, Saturday, BB and I decided to go Orchard Road as it's been such a long time since we've both been there and we also wanted to see how ION and Orchard Central looks like now.
ION is really beautiful in my opinion and I think it will look even more beautiful at night. Though the passageway that links from ION to MRT is open already, the ION building is still not ready for biz yet.

Then we walked to Heerens and guess who I saw?
It's ZHANG DONG LIANG! haa...
Apparently, he's having a Qian1 Chang4 Hui4 there and I managed to take some close up shots of him :):)

Next, the 2 mountain tortoises went to Orchard Central. Wow...I was amazed by the length of the escalator. It's just like Illuma's.. very long. I didn't dare to take the escalator outside the building as I think my legs will grow jelly..haha..
Btw, they only have "UP" escalator and don't have "DOWN" escalator, probably because they fear that people will tumble down the escalator easily especially since it's so lengthy!!
Orchard Central is yet another modern sleek building with 7 levels?? I can't remember..haha.. except that there's lotsa shops, lifts and resting areas with comfy sofas.

After Orchard Central, we decided to reccee Marina Barrage (MB) since we've also never been there before. Another ulu place but luckily, there's shutter bus which brings us there. We took the train to Marina Bay station and saw th bus schedule just in front of the control station. The bus frequency is about 10-15mins with the last bus leaving MB at 9pm for weekends. ^_^

The Queue for the bus....

The walk into the barrage.... surrounded by high walls made of....ROCKS!! Once inside, the place looks like an arena to me..haha...
See BB walking in front??
The Climb up the path....luckily it's a windy and cloudy day..hee....the view up there is really nice...^^

I think it's a nice place for photoshoot especially with a nice weather. That day, there were people having picnics and flying kites there. Great place for family outings! =) The Sea-view
Solar Park atop the BarrageBB has absorbed enough Solar Power and trying to become a Man-made BumbleBee... HAHAHA...

One of the sculptures we saw....interesting...:)

This looks like the old "channel 8" logo...hahaha...

Another interesting sculpture...

I kinda like this picture..hee... Can u spot BB and Me practically "ON TOP OF THE WORLD?" hee...

Ahhh... Why is BB closing his eyes??!! He must be 'enjoying' the moment...haha..
