The Dating Loft

A JC fren has set up a dating company to help singles to find the right ones.. well most of my frens are already married but we can always pass the message on.. simply click on datingloft under my links and check out the service..

i believe in fate.. it's about meeting the right person at the right time and the right place.. so share with your single frens and who knows.. he/she might meet the ONE.. for those who know us.. know how we met.. it's fated.. for those who dunno.. will know on our wedding day.. hopefully the montage can be done on time.. else i will try to blog it instead..

Happy birthday crankygal

You are the best.. i wish that only good things happen to you and all bad things to go away.. stay happy and bubbly always.. plenty of hugs and love..

See things thru...

Strongly feel that a wedding is a project and a process where you will see your hubby/wife-to-be, folks, relatives, frens, colleagues and ex-colleagues in a different light.. no wonder ppl say you will lose some and gain some.. always not to have expectations.. so glad to have a wonderful and supportive hubby-to-be.. love you dear..

Next to-do-lists

Still printing in process.. including envelops and some special cards (i hope it works *crossing my fingers*.. dear jiayou)..

Facial mask twice a week.. this watson brand really revitalizes and moisturizes my skin.. cheap and good.. montage.. buy cakes and "zhu jiao" for guo da li.. guo da li on 3 mar.. confirmation on number of tables on 16 mar.. appointment at rom for verification and statutory declarations, and confirmation with JP on 20 mar.. bed delivery and packing, and manicure and pedicure on 23 mar..

Busy day

Happy ZHU year.. may u and family blessed with happiness, good health and wealth.. gong xi gong xi..

Pre CNY eve

A simple dept kickoff with lao yu sheng and bites.. half day work.. felt terrible on my way home.. napped until mom woke me up.. have been sick since last fri.. accompanied her to buy meat for shabu shabu steamboat for reunion dinner.. packed my room after dinner with my dear's help.. done in 3 hours.. cleared as much as possible so that i have less things to pack when the new bed is delivered.. it has a storage space underneath.. hehe i will juz "dump" all those things lying outside inside *grin*..

Fotoshoot

First was outdoor shoot at old parliament house.. we were giggling hard over the poses requested.. hehe the fotographer was trying hard to make us look natural.. the weather was super hot!.. so hot tat our eyes can hardly open.. next was marina pier.. never been there.. the building and sea view are gorgeous.. it looks like the yokohama pier in japan.. with greeny on top for ppl to relax and enjoy the view.. next was st theresa church.. den back to shop to change to kua.. and set off to temple.. somewhere near ex-mos.. the carvings here are really nice.. dragons tat look real.. den set off to studio to take my gown and evening gown.. had 2 different looks.. goodness it hurts so much when makeup artist "breaks" the "sprayed" hair for style change.. worried abt the amount of hair lost here *sob*.. den set off for outdoor again.. eaton and labrador park.. we wanted to take the sunset from the top corner "bridge-like" place for shooting.. but we found a couple there.. the guy actually do up the place with balloons and candle lights.. roses on the organza over the table and chairs.. prepared food, fruits and champagne.. so romantic.. we cant help but ask if we can take pics with the settings.. hehe.. really nice props.. but.. the sun was hidden behind the thick clouds.. so disappointed.. den we went down for the seaview shoot.. finally the last stop.. well.. it was tiring but we had fun today.. giggled and laughed alot.. definitely a special vday for us..

Happy vday..

to all my frens.. esp crankygal.. thanks for your advices and magazines *grin*..

and we are out for fotoshoot today.. so in case you see couple taking foto.. it might be me!.. take a closer look and say hi ok *wink*..

Fights..

not with my man but with my mom.. dunno it's different expectations or over concern or juz bei gam.. not juz over the wedding prep.. even when we were traveling in bali.. ahhhh.. i have to be calm.. volcanoes have erupted.. dun wana have another eruption.. getting upset over my wedding and her "jia-nu-er" thingy.. making both us unhappy and grumble for the rest of our life.. thanks touraco for your advice.. i will try your method and see if it works on my mom *wink*..

Trial makeup and first fitting session

I have forgotten when was the last time i "painted" my face.. hehe.. somehow i felt weird.. juz not me.. my dear too.. cant get used to how i look.. keke mayb too pretty liao *grin*.. gee wonder how i will look on the actual day and fotoshoot.. cant imagine!

Well.. to cut the story short.. we had tuff time finding a bridal studio tat we are comfy with.. 1 from someone i know.. super hard selling and sells only fotos.. refused to let us go if we dun sign it right away.. 1 from high class designer type.. juz too ex to deal with.. dun have a chance to try the pretty gowns as the fitting room was occupied.. 1 at marina square.. tat man was loitering outside waiting while we were shopping for bed.. quite hard sell but we juz cant imagine an uncle helping us to choose gowns.. 1 operates like designer but still not there yet.. quite "stingy" to let me try gowns.. and was a bit upset when my dear commented that the gown was "squeezing" out my fats.. 1 where the place was cosy but my dear din find a gown he likes.. so we picked ritz couture.. 1 who let us in even it was closed.. letting me try so many gowns and explaining patiently on the package and wedding preparation till late night.. we were so comfy wif the people and the place was really cosy.. i must say we prefer service to cost.. really make us feel money worth paying for.. make us feel like prince and princess..

So after trying at the bridal for 3 times.. finally i have picked my gowns.. was really difficult decision.. simply love most of the gowns here.. elaine has been sooo patient.. spending 3 late nights with us.. there are gowns that i even tried for 4 times.. hehe juz to compare and decide.. so here they are.. hehe i must say i live up the name of tiffanygal.. even my evening gown is so "tiffany".. my fav color!

Our wedding day

It will be a customary, solemnization and banquet lunch at marina mandarin vanda ballroom.. all-in-one-day thingy.. had a discussion with the banquet sales and finalized on most of the details.. the wedding preparation has been less stressful with these experienced people whom i met.. helping and advising us.. even comforting us.. making us feeling more at ease and relax..

We decided to do our own insert printing.. to customise and make use of my dear's expertise.. finally our design is completed.. simple and varies for different people.. gosh we still need to print.. dunno how long to print my invites name by name.. *stressed*.. oh well thou it's tedious but we are happy doing it.. joint effort.. it's really great to compliment each other.. really fortunate to have my dear around for shopping and hunting for banquet, bridal, bed, etc..

We have also set on going great britain and paris for honeymoon.. but the air ticket hunting has been confusing.. either no miles accrual or long transit or lost in the different permutation of destinations.. dunno if we shd try sin-paris-london-sin or sin-glasgow-london-sin or sin-glasgow-paris-sin or etc etc.. arghhh..

So far these are wat we were bz with.. forgot about the bed hunting experience.. it's amazing wat we found out abt king koll.. different departmental stores have own branding and exclusive models.. it took us a week to decide on 1.. hehe a week of sleeping on all different models and type.. finally we bought king koll king size memory foam pocketed spring mattress. memory foam pillows.. headboard and storage.. egyptian cotton satin 500 thread counts bedsheets.. never tot tat buying a mattress, bed and bedsheets can be such a chore.. goodness..

Meet-the-family dinner

Thanks touraco, crankygal, duchess and ah lian.. time flies and i'm over 30s.. an age tat i felt a great difference in my body and mind.. definitely not as fit as before.. but i guess it's juz the rite time to take things easy and enjoy every moments..

To make the day special.. we have arranged a meet-both-family over a dinner.. to celebrate my bday and to discuss about our wedding.. guo da li and actual day traditions.. yippie 1 to-do-list down!

Our new but old car..

Nissan Sunny 1.5 manual.. 5 yrs plus.. hehe my dear is still trying to get used to driving manual car.. out of touch for 1 yr plus liao.. poor me.. always having motion sickness when he drives :P.. keke actually only took 2 rides so far *grin*..

The day 24 Mar 2007...

marks the new chapter of our life.. stay tuned for more *grin*..
