Hen's night - 21 Nov 09
Hen's Night!! wow!!
at first i thought i didn't think i will have any hens night.. cos i'm such a nerdy, so nothing much will happen but my JMs done it again!! You have liven up my night!!
When i was told that we will be having our hens night ( in my mind, i was thinking, what will they do? Something exciting? the scene that i imagine was just a hotel stay with games played) I wasn't given much info and was told to wait for the day to come and to dress casually and to fetch esther on that day.
It starts :
Esther sms me to go over to her sis house to fetch her. I was late and told her that i will wait for her downstairs while she get her things done. She called me to go up to help her carry items. i went to the wrong block at first and kept on finding her sis place, then i realised that i was in the wrong block. When i went over to the correct place, my first thought was will they have a surprise for me i.e. do the party at her sis place?
My intuition was correct!! Door open, and the thing that caught my eyes is the decoration and i was sure that its correct! I was welcome with poppers and was presented with wedding couple bear and balloons!! They really meant it for the wedding bear!! i still remember that when i first told them about my wedding they told me that they will settle the wedding bear and there it was!! Luckily i haven't brought my bears yet!! Then come the phototaking session and MAKAN time!! pizzas (Boston pizza - 3 for $37.80!! Cheap!!) + sushi + calamari + sparkiling juices!!
SZ and i went down to take items and also to put coupons. Distributed the wedding cards as well as to brief them on the items that they need to do...
Next is the SHOOTERS AND LADDERS!! We had our fun, laughters, shared our darkest deepest secret and also our most intimate belonging as well!! hahaha.. we replaced the SHOOTERS with lemons and pegs!! I think the whole block could hear our laughters!! (at first i thought the party would end in the house but it was just the beginning) We changed into our JM's clothing.. we went over to ZW side to pass him the leftovers that we had. He was having his XD briefing as well. He had quite a bit of drink when we reached... hahaha
next we left for our next destination Le Meridian - Club Zinc!! I was told that at there, Ladies are the queens and guys are the slaves!! Wee wu Wee!! hahaha
At first quite cold scene cos we dun know what will happen next so we just sit around and chat. The waiter was good. We ordered a jug of Volka cranberry ($40) and they free us a jug of orange squash. The manager came over and spoke to us about their promotions and how we can treat his guys to a drink - $12 for a shot and $60 for a glass!! (that was so expensive!! i might as well treat myself hahaha) Then the show begins when SZ told him that we are coming for our hens night and i am the lead cast!! He became so excited and told me that if i go up the stage and sing a song with his guys, we will be given a champange free!! and he start rearrange the furniture and bring in a big sofa and next a whole group of guys surrounded us and started to rearrange us as well... in the end i was seated at a big sofa with 2 guys, i pulled Winnie to sit with me.. hahaha..
The guy who was assigned to me is quite guai one, phew, i was relieved!! We just talk for a while and played some guessing game throughout the night.. hahaha.. We played the, pouring water into a glass that is in the middle of a bucket, and also the 10, 15, 20 game. Our forfeit at first was PLAIN WATER.. quite paiseh... hahhaa... no choice... we dun drink!! but very soon, a bottle of Chivas was brought to our place. It was my JM's idea to buy that Chivas!! In the mid of the night, our guys suddenly left the place, left only the guai one to play with us. Winnie told me got police check. The plain clothes police surrounded the pub but they did not disturb any of the customers. When they left, our guys come back again.. i sang Xiao Wei with 3 of the guys and Alda accompanied me on the stage. Thanks GIRL!! towards the end of the night, we are still left with a lot of liqour so we pour a lot of it into the guys drink.. hahha.. so that we can go home faster!!
As my limit of liqour is quite low, i exchange my drink to plain water after 3 cups of liqour mixture.. hahaha.. toilet is the next place that i visited for my stay in that location!! I went to the toilet for 5-6 times!!
When we left, the guys accompanied us out, I was thinking is it because we didn't give them tips so which is why they follow us out.. hahaha.
It was quite a interesting & exciting night for me, and i believe my JMs as well!! Thanks for all the effort!!
My 感言:
Ladies, THANKS for everything that you have done for me!! that's including the hens night, bear with me when i am undecisive and not very enthu, as well as the tekan items and the solemisation, and most importantly, be with me and helping me on my happiest, most important day in my life, MY WEDDING. Ladies!! I didn't get to say it that day but LADIES!! I LOVE YOU ALL!! MUCK!!
害你们破费了！！When its your turn, I WILL GIVE MY UTMOST SUPPORT AND HELP that you require!!

Met up with Ganesan to collect the invitation cards and to ask questions on 15 Oct. then 22 Oct sent him confirmation on the food tasting.
30 Oct = 1st meeting between both families cum food tasting
I thought we are going to be serve in a private room but we are being seated in the middle of the restaurant with a few noisy tables around us. and they won't allow us to bring in wine and wanted to charge corkage. we brought along this wine is to see whether it match with what the hotel provides on our actual day. since we brought it might as well open it to drink. I called ganesan and for them to settle on it. 1st impression - not so good.
At first service was prompt, after that our plates are not really cleared on time and our plates are full with prawn shells and fish bone then they change for us.. Car park coupon only give us 1 pcs. i have 3 cars with me how to use 1 pc. then i call ganesan again. he came down with the coupons and we told him about our remarks on the food. and they did not serve the red bean paste as promise. make us so sian..
Overall : the food are not that fantastic.. just so - so but what to do.. budget ma. quantity not a lot. my in laws ate liao then come which is why is enough.
Our menu:
cold plate - chestnut rolls, baby octopus, spring roll, prawn salad, shark fin omelete
remarks : will be changing the omelete as cannot see much shark fin and 1st impression was : how come serve egg??
Braised Shark Fin
remarks : become watery after drinking few sips of the soup but the shark fin really can see.
Roasted Crispy Chicken
remarks : its quite bloody. not well cooked
Steam fish in thai sauce
remarks : quite unique. taste a bit like tom yam. not bad
Steam live prawn
remarks : ate a few not so fresh prawns
Mushroom with spinach
reamrks : taste is just nice.
Lotus leaf rice
remarks : taste is just nice.

2nd version of Bridal layout - 1st Oct 09
Have gotten the edited layout from Jess on 29 Sep but the more i see the more i feel not right. Hence i asked Eileen and Puayling to see for me... All of them say its too messy and the yellow/red too contrasting. Hence zw called Jess to let her know we are coming down on 1st Oct to review the photos. I have done up a few of the photos to let her have a feel of what we wanted.
She wasn't happy to see us change so much and she mentioned why so late then want to change might be too late. i wanted rebuke her that when i ask her to give me soft copy of the photos for me to go home see she dun want ma.. i proved myself (with what others felt) that what i felt is correct of course i wanted to change...
When i compare both my works with others, mine is like secondary work and others were like poly/jc standard, that makes me regret further...
After going through our changes, i asked her for the soft copy of our photos and she say she will only give us when everything is ok. i was like... WTF!! my montage need these photos to do lei.. and i need to forward to Louis soon... then she say i can give you all the photos now but whatever changes that will be made to the photos, we won't be getting it... We ask her to provide us with the remaining 20+ photos that were not edited first... She say why we needed that first.. its not edited... and what's so @#$%^& is she kept on saying we can choose that 20+ photos later. but we have already choosen it when we choose all the photos!! she kept insisting we did not choose and make it as if its our fault...
after we explain, she say why not you choose the photos again and its just 20+ photos out of 200 photos should be easier.. WTF!!! so not professional.. knowing that we are getting irritated, she left us to choose the photos.. zw was so angry that he mumble loudly so that the other lady who is putting on her trial makeup can hear... then he walked out of the shop. i told Jess that we are not so happy and ask her to find it.. Half an hour later, she called to say she found it... It already dampen our mood

Viewing of Bridal Photos layout - 13 Sep 09
Took my mum with us to JHC to view the layout of the ablum. To my surprise she didn't really talk about how bad it is.. hahaha... maybe to her, her ugly duckling became a swan (hmm.. i didn't say its a beautiful swan ar) at that moment??

Viewing of Pre-Wedding shots - 11 Sep 09
Went to view our shots taken in Phuket at Kai's house as usual we are greeted by her 3 dogs!! her dogs were fun... looking back at the days where snoopy and kiki were active then...
The shots were well taken. loved the rings taken together with the rose. the jumping photo also leave deep impression!! hahaha..
Selected some shots for Kai to enhance. Though some differences in thoughts but at least the photos didn't waste our time and effort and $$!! hahaha!!
Waiting for the shots to be processed before we can hand over to Louis to start on the montage.

Selection of Bridal Photos - 1st Aug 09
We actually had our selection on Monday 27 Jul but looking at the photos half way ZW wasn't feeling very well so we come again... we were not that satisfied with the shots taken but still ok la... hahaha...
After looking at the photos on Monday, we are quite 犹豫 whether to take the full package of $2500 -> take back all photos and put around 80 photos in 30pg album or just our 40 photos... we have only shortlisted 93 photos out of the 300plus photos... i have not even filtered these 90 over photos... After thinking through we decided not to take the package... but its very hard for me to cut photos... then when we are there on Sat, i ask ZW to filter the photos whereby it seems very hard for him as well...
While we are in our misery, Jess propose another option for us $2K - take back 93 photos and put 70 over photos in the 30 pg album.. seem like 没诚意. so after discussing with ZW i went back to cut photos. In one shot i managed to cut till left 46 photos. Not only ZW was astonished, Jess was totally black!! Zw's first comment was, 你把整个精华都选出来了。 I was so proud of it!! hahaha... at the back of my head, i was thinking.. i have to save $$, save $$...
Then Jess offer us another deal of which we think we are quite ok with it... then we took it... we used another 2 hours choosing the frame of our photos, the poses for our ablum and as well as the small album. This deal cost us another $1640... So tight on our pocket liao... hai..
At last another thing off our mind!!

Pre-wedding Photoshoot - Phuket 18 Jul 09
After breakfast, we took photo outside the hotel's dustbin... hahaha... very werid hor... but if i no say you also dunno that is a dustbin!! we checked out at 11 and place all our luggage in Pat's car..
We went back to Karon beach again but this time, we went to the beach area... the air is much fresher and more windy there but it seems to be quite sunny today... In order to take photo of us, Kai even laid on the sandy ground... her whole shirt was sanded hahaha...
We ate at a mountain area over looking Nai harn Beach. Though it is quite expensive but the atmosphere is very good!!. After makan, we went to a rubber plantation to take some photos... i like it there cos not so sunny and its very plantation look!! the trees there are very 整齐. one row by row... next we went to the end of Nai Harn beach to take photo as well as take in the car... we saw ppl paragliding ... it seem so relax... but think we will take a shorter time to land hahaha...
Actually the Nai Harn Beach is our last stop but ZW feel that his shirt is very smelly so got Pat to drive us to buy some T-shirt... the T-shirt quality is good. We brought it at Phromthep Cape stores... at first we thought it will be more expensive but 140 for that tshirt is ok.
Our last destination the Airport. It took us 45-1hr to reach the airport and in the mid way the whole traffic was stopped for the delegates of dunno what conference to pass through before we can proceed ahead...
Ate Chester grill at the airport... at first we thought we can buy subway in the terminal but they only have it outside... so no choice... But Kai and ZW brought a normal brand ice cream at 190 baht - almost S$8 for 2 pieces!! 杀人放火！
Our flight was delayed for half an hour, Wee Kiat came to fetch us. Sent both Wee Kiat and Kai back before we head back to our home sweet home. Luckily the next day is a Sunday!!
Amount spent in Thai baht:
Lunch - 840
T-shirt - 280
Pat Taxi - 700
Chester grill - 607
Ice cream - 190

Pre-wedding Photoshoot - Phuket 17 Jul 09
Woke up quite early @ 7.30am to dry the shorts and converse shirt.
Then prepare the things to go for photo shoot... today will be a long long day!!!
Ate breakfast then meet Pat ar 9.10am at lobby. At first he took us to elephant trekking.
The baby elephant was so funny, he will see us coming with the bananas then he grab the bananas from your hands. the elephant ride was very expensive - 900 per pax. i bargained from 1000 to 900 baht. i thought of going down further but the shop owner told us how pitiful the elephants were and their maintenance fee... make me feel very bad so we agreed on 900. But after thinking over... the 900 how much is being used for he elephant?? most probably they will pocket most of it ...
i think they thought Kai and I will take one elephant and Zw to take the other one... but like this how to take photos?? So Kai took the 1st elephant and both of us in the 2nd elephant... The elephant 好可怜. hahaha... the ride up the trek was very adventurous for both of us and the elephant... Cos the trek is quite steep, we thought the chair will topple over.. so we hold on to both side very very tightly... 好生不如死啊. then i started talking to the elephant and make friend with him and i named him DUMBO hahaha... people see us like we siao like that... Kai's elephant was pooing all over... not toilet train.. hahaha... DUMBO better.. will walk to one side poo... but he is very 贪吃 walk a bit then will eat the grass... By the time DUMBO is back to his shop, he was like panting liao... hahaha... We didn't take much photos as Kai wasn't able to stablise her camera, we did took some using our camera.
Elephant ride - 1800 + 100 tips
Lunch - 840
Cashew Nut - 320
Dinner at Jungceylon - 370
Medicine - 560
Massage - 800 + 120 tips

By the time DUMBO is back to his shop, he was like panting liao... hahaha... We didn't take much photos as Kai wasn't able to stablise her camera, we did took some using our camera.
Then went to Karon beach. We changed money and brought some drinks there... the beach there is quieter. Then go up to Karon Viewpoint. it overlooks quite a few beaches. We took a few photos at the staircase as well as some of the points. We wanted to take at a certain angle but always got ppl around... so disrupting... but can't get the feel so we didn't take liao...
Next is Rawai beach. heard from taxi uncle that this place quite ok but reached there... there's nothing!! only boats... NOT NICE!! but we managed to take photos at one of its bar - Chocolate Bar... we brought some drinks from them and we took picture in its bar... but some of the drinks already expired... hai... no wonder no ppl at his place la... luckily we got see the expiry date. Went back to change and took some pictures with a boat then left. Kai sat in front cos if there is any place she want to take she can tell Pat to stop.
Pat brought us to Phuket shooting range but there's nothings for us to shoot.. so we left without going for any program... he wanted us to go for the snake show... but snake got what thing to see. next is lunch. he brought us to a place near the Phuket Zoo for makan... the makan there not nice and expensive!! maybe he can get commission for it which is why he keep on asking us to go to these type of places....
The places that we were brought to are not so good for photo shoot so... we talked to him telling him that we wanted to take photo - no shopping no show... but he is also quite pitiful.. only going for these type of places then he can get more money, more discount in petrol. so we told him we will go to a cashew nut factory to buy things then after need to bring us to places that is good for photo taking liao.. At the cashew nut factory, kai brought a lot!! hahaha i think she spent 1000 plus ba... me only brought a few packs of banana chips, ikan billies etc. Pat stopped by a petrol station to pump petrol... It is almost 300 baht imagine our whole day fare was just 600...
Finally Pat know what we wanted so he brought us to a Thai house... It is really nice... think some of it is still not taken up so we went to the balcony to take some. then there is a small car there.. some we took photos there too... but its fun... cos i am seated on the chair (relax) and Zhiwei is there jumping away (very siong).. hahaha.. luckily there is no traffic accident... hahaha.. Really.. only when you are not in SG then you can do a lot of crazy things...
We went back to karon beach to walk around and Kai brought a hat. We walked through the pub area and took some photos there... Next is Phromthep Cape to see sunset!!! Had a terrible experience in the toilet there... there were a group of tourist they went in the ladies together and made it very very crowd... they just push around... normally we will queue up to go into the toilet... they went straight past you and waited at other cubicle. so fed up with them.. had to squeeze through them However the weather isn't that good... can't see the sunset.. but its very windy and the sea there very beautiful!! Very soothing... but a lot of ppl... there is a slope going further down the hill... but too dangerous liao so we stay up in the hill... We waited around 1 hour plus.. not much signs of being able to see the sunset, we took a few photos and proceed to another area to take... there is a road where there are not so many ppl walking... we took some photos there barefeet.. (so eager to see these few photo) then went to a 街头艺术表演者 to take photo as well..
After that Pat brought us to the shopping mall, Jungceylon, in Patong. We went to food court for dinner but also quite expensive... 3 person with 4 main course 370 baht.. On the way back to back hotel, we stopped by a T-shirt vendor - kai brought 12 T-shirts from them.. but still no discount... we didn't buy any.. After that we walked passed by a massage shop, Emotions. The massage is very good at least for mine. so relax... so reluctantly we walked back to hotel after massage. It was quite close to our hotel!! next time must GO!!
We slept very soundly...

Pre-wedding Photoshoot - Phuket 16 Jul 09
Met Kai at airport and ate at staff canteen. We went in the plane quite late. In the plane we ordered chicken lasagne & green tea.
At the Phuket airport, there were a lot of ppl outside holding signage for transportation to Patong and other areas. Have to push through the whole lot of ppl to go to the taxi stand outside. The cab that we hired though the airport cab system have to stop at a shop that sells tour package. We declined as the package was quite expensive.
My impression on Deevana -
We went to a shop nearby for our Massage and we took 2 hours!! Body and foot massage!! SHOIK!! hahaha... Even bargain with them on the price of the massage as we took 2 hours. But in the end will give back in tips cos the person massaging for us usually get the least amount so have to give to them in tips form lo...
Went back to hotel for a bath then sleep... but can't get to sleep... dunno why, the tsunami's event kept running in my mind - i was thinking what is the sound if the tsunami alert rung, where do they go?? can't get it off my mind, so i went over to ZW room to sleep since its connecting room, we open the connecting door... think he see me coming over he also shock hahaha... Maybe i'm not used to sleeping alone in an unfamiliar place ba... but luckily in his arms, i managed to catch some sleep otherwise the next day i take photo no prettty pretty liao hahaha...
Amount spent in baht:
Makan @ plane - 140
Airport to hotel - 450
Makan - 1190
Lim han cafe - 160
Tuk tuk back to hotel - 100
Massage - 1120

My impression on Deevana -
- the atmosphere is quite good
- the bellboys were friendly
- served welome drink when reached.
- we were ask to be seated while they are processing our check in
- their receptionist came to the area that we were seated to brief us
- upgraded our room from standard room to superior room and its connecting room
- but had to walked quite far as it is towards the end of the hotel and the canal that is in front of the room is quite smelly.. luckily it didn't 'float' into our rooms.
- the layout of the room is quite big and it has balcony that's facing the swimming pool
- we were amazed by them using towels to make a elephant - its so cute!! cos we have 2 rooms so we put both together and to make it more cute, we placed our spectacles on them and place a orchid on one of them
- there's a umbrella in every room and its quite big.
- the breakfast that we had the few days were quite ok. only a few changes to the dishes
Me and Kai will take the twin bedded room whereas Zhiwei will take the double room. After taking some shots in the room, we went out for makan. There are a lot of currency changer at patong, you walked a few steps there will be one exchange and the rates are quite different. there is a small hawker outside. Ordered squid, seabass, brocoli, tomyam, pork with cashew nut, pineapple rice, heineken, fruit shake and mango shake. then after that we walked to Patong beach. we took refuge at Aspery hotel (Alda introduced this to us) as it started to rain heavily. The ppl there were quite friendly. they didn't chase us away, they even offer us a seat. its very closed to Patong
Luckily its just passing rain. No wonder the period from Apr - Oct is low season and the rooms are very very cheap. Then we walked to patong beach to take a few shots. were jumping and jumping!! hahaha... we realised Kai's shoes were not that suitable for beaches so we went around looking for shoes. The shops along the Patong beaches are selling almost the same things. there are quite a few cafes which have very good layout and furnishing. We took a sip at Lim Han cafe. Its a small cafe beside the beach TOILET!! hahaha.. you ask me why we choose there? too tired to find other cafes liao... hahahah... Then brought the pork sumurai burger from Mcdonald's. Realised that the signage of Mcdonald is black not the usual yellow that we see in SG.
Took tuk tuk back to hotel. but he ka tok us!!! 100 bht to go back to hotel. very expensive. However the driver Mr Pat, 081 - 7372308, is quite friendly so we booked him for whole day for our few days there.
Next MASSAGE!!!! How can come to Thailand without a massage!!!We went to a shop nearby for our Massage and we took 2 hours!! Body and foot massage!! SHOIK!! hahaha... Even bargain with them on the price of the massage as we took 2 hours. But in the end will give back in tips cos the person massaging for us usually get the least amount so have to give to them in tips form lo...

Pre-wedding Photoshoot 16-18 July 09
Before the trip
We almost didn't make it for this trip cos of the H1N1. 2 weeks before our departure our companies had make it complusory that once you travel to the affected area, you would have to stay home for 7 days. though i can just go and just need to take 2 days leave but zw would have to take 7 days of leave... too much already hence we almost gave up the trip. luckily a few days later they cancel all the arrangement. hence Phuket here we come!!! though we are going on thursday but till monday, we have not made any arrangements for the accomodations. very headache.. cos we are thinking to get 2 room or 1 room with extra bed. in my mind, i have been thinking of 2 bedroom apartment or suite room. I nearly forgotten 2 connecting rooms.
After looking through the recommendation from other forumers, i have decided to go for Deevena Patong Resort & Spa. Went through the http://www.hotelclub.com/ to book the rooms. I booked 2 standard rooms at only $56 per room per night. So total my accomodation is $224.
I didn't pack for our trip earlier cos dunno if going a not hence we last minute then pack... Our last minute packing is 8.30am in the morning and check in time is 11am!! its so last minute!!! we are too tired with the packing the day before. hence push it to that same day.

Our 心得 for this trip:
- we will definitely go back AGAIN!! (hey hey, this is not said by me hor.. :) Its ZW!! Yeah can plan liao...)
- it is really very relaxing to be able to 吹海风 but have to be under shade.. 因为我们晒太黑了。
- it's quite tiring for photo taking a one whole shot of 4 days - 15 - 18 Jul 09.. Our mouths are aching!! But its fun... Think this is the first time that we kissed each other in the eye of others... and for them to take us!! hahaha... the only 遗憾 is i didn't put on make up for my trip... will it be very pale? not nice? but i trust Kai!! hahaha...
- need to go during Apr to Oct.. otherwise its very expensive!!

Bridal shop Photoshoot - 15 July 09
Finally this day has arrived!!! I can't sleep the night before.. not in 最佳状态.
Woke up at 8.15am and bath. Was told to dry my hair completely as my hair very oily. I asked my mum to dried it for me.. hahaha.. too lazy to do it... need to reserve my energy.
Was running late already but CTE jam!!! dunno why it always jam.. 9 plus also jam... ok... enough of nagging..
Reached there at 10 sharp!!! no time for breakfast!!!
Begun makeup - Ophelia commented that my face and hair condition is better hahaha.... good good.. she brought along her student as well. i was glued to the chair for a good 1.5 hours before i changed into my evening gown then glued again for another half hour to make hair. When she was making my hair, i was like - later how can i comb my hair, sure 打死结。She also helped Zhiwei make his hair and apply some make up too... but not too 明显。
When we begin to take photos its already 12nn!! Zhiwei already waited until neck long long... got mood also become no mood liao.. hahaha... we took a few shots in studio then outside the shop... I already melted when we are out of the shop... What will happen when i'm out for outdoor shots!!!
The order of gowns taken is as follows:
Evening gown - 1 hairstyle
Kua - change hair accessories
Wedding gown - 2 hairstyle - i like the one with tiara
Causal clothes - 1 hairstyle
Outdoor Wedding gown - 1 hairstyle
Things that we brought for photoshoot
Used
Didn't have the chance to use
In my earlier post i said i don't have much confident in my photographer (PG) but it seems that he prove me wrong a bit. hehehe.. He told us to pose here and there. Seen some of the shots, it's still quite ok.
We had lunch - chicken rice- before we went out for our outdoor shot and its 3 pm. Imagine how hungry we are.
When we are out for photoshoot, just outside our bridal shop there are ppl taking photos of us already. it seems quite weird but its fun. Like stars ... We even have one taking from their car and we can even see the flashing kept on going... hahaha...
We went Botanic Garden, Esplanade & Marina Barrage. Well what i can say is Botanic Garden and Marina Barrage are very common among couples, as we saw at least 3 couples taking their PS in each of the location. Esplanade is more different. When we are there, we were like centre of attraction and PG even went up to their roof garden of which we didn't even know that there is one there. As we walked back to carpark, PG even laid on the floor and start to get us around him and he begun to take pictures. i'm looking forward to that photo!!! What i can say of PG is he can be very excited when he got the feel. Kept snapping and getting us to pose.
Finally we ended our session at 7.30pm... Its been a long long day!!! One more thing off our mind!!
PHUKET here i come !!!!

心得
Its a long tiring day. But just felt that we didn't take photo of ourself when we are in different outfit. The wooden stool that we sat on is not that professional. The makeup didn't change throughout the whole session. but i'm pleased with my makeup. My mum didn't believe that's me!! The photoshoot location is quite common with wedding couple. But the Esplanade is one which i look forward to... Another note - its quite comfortable for me as i'm not wearing those high heels!!! I'm a bride running around in Slippers!!!

3rd gown fitting - 30 June 09
Took half day for my 3rd gown fitting... that's the final one before we take our photoshoot...
Was worried that i can't fit in the outdoor gown. cos that time still have a lot to alter so crossing my finger.
We discuss about the photoshoot location with the photographer. Wasn't too impressed with him though... maybe i met my AD photographer so have high expectation ba.. hai... Impression of him is dressed quite shabbily, not so humourous, can't get the scene going... Maybe i'm wrong about him... PROOF ME WRONG!!! hahaha... will see when we have our photoshoot.
My photoshoot locations are Esplanade, Botanic Garden and Marina Barrage. Think these few places are very common now... since we have our pre-wed shots, i am letting go of my bridal studio shots liao... no put emphasis on it liao... hehehe... very bad hor... Think no go for night shots liao... cos take more shots = more choices = more headache = more tendency to take up more photos
Someone said wedding shoots are more important then pre-wed cos that's when you are all dressed up and also that are the photos that we will be using to put on desktop... but normally you will just use your 'soft copy' for at most 1-2 years then will put more recent photo liao and the hard copy... you take out at most 10 times then it will be left there to collect dust... So now still thinking whether to pay another $1500 to get all the softcopy or just my 40 poses will do.. but another point of view, my pre-wed will just take us in normal wear not in wedding gowns... dunno if can ask Jess to let me lend the gown for fews days a not.. hahaha
Things we are bringing for photoshoot
lastly my gown!!! my outdoor gown!! Finally can wear liao... i was so happy that i can fit in !! So i have 5 attires for my shots!!! My AD WG, AD EG, Kua, outdoor gown and casaul attire!!

Photographer Confirmed!! 10 May 09
After looking around for so long, we finally confirmed our photographer!!! Presenting Kai!!! Can go see see her portfolio here.. http://kaicious.livejournal.com/
It was a 巧合 to meet Kai. We were walking around in Suntec and there's a bridal show on Feb so we go KPOing. Actually Kai was helping out Chris in the show and she is his 2nd photographer at that point of time. So we talk for a while then Chris attended to us. Chris is good but was out of our budget. Then i emailed to Chris for Kai. Kai contacted us and do you know what?? she remembered us, due to our big candy floss!!! hahaha was eating at Joaqium downstairs, the candy floss is BIG and CHEAP!! hahaha...
At first i thought she would just call and make an appointment with us to view her works but in the end we chatted for almost half hour. well if you put 2 ladies together, you will know what will happen... hahaha
After much delay (there were so much 'hurdle' when we set the timing for meeting up - zw's shift, her relative wedding, then laptop spoilt), we finally met up on 7 May to view her works at her house. her house was so cosy and her dad very 健谈 and her 3 dogs!!!! Wow!!! at first she asked whether i'm afraid of dogs then i told her i have 2 dogs and then she told me she have 3!!!
When we are in her room, she off the lights cos she say very romantic.. hahaha .. after viewing a few photos, we started talking and suaning each other. In the end we are "stuck" at her house for 3 hours!! hahaha... we only spent half hour talking about official things and then the rest of the time... talk cocking... hahaha...
We told her we needed time to think... we called her on 9 May asking whether can reduce her price a bit a not... hahaha.... as expected - Cannot la!! hahaha... but we feel that its ok... you know Singaporeans like to ask for discounts even though sure no discounts... Jus ask for fun.. hahaha.. We told her we will get back to her on that night...
Its her birthday the next day so i sent her a birthday message on 02.41 10 May as follows : Hey Kai, happy brithday! here's a present for you! Remember to leave 13th dec for us.. hehehe..
She replied that she is waiting for our message until neck long long. thought we dun wan liao.. hahaha
At least this is settled liao... 1 more thing off load!!
Our thoughts of her:
- very outgoing & "三八" oops... we are the same too !! hahaha
- do her research before going for a wedding
- zw clicks well with her then at that time he won't be so stiff
- her photography style suits what i want - journalistic - we dun like to pose and pose and pose, we like more natural 表情.
- her frankness - very straightforward person
- with her around we are more relaxed
- have to think of my 兄弟s. she's still available!! hahaha

Gown Design - 14 Feb 09
Its Valentine's Day!!!
Knowing we don't have much program so I just arrange it on V Day so that at least we have something to do and make it a more meaningful day!! hahaha...
Before this day, i went to gather a few magazine and cut out the gowns that i like.
When we are there, Jess still have one customer so we just look around and see whether got any 'inspiration'. I tried on 2 gowns to see whether i am suitable for halter neck or spagetti. A bit sian as zw didn't take photo of me!!!!
We sat down with Jess to discuss. She just draw it out and show to me then we make amendments from there... hai ... seems like no contribution hor... My cut outs are not in use as well. There goes my hard work. After negiotiating finally my evening gown got my ribbon tail!! hahaha... good good... dun wan to upload here. let you all have surprize when you see me!! hahaha..
Wedding Gown : A line cut
Evening gown : halter neck + ribbon!!
ZW also have to do his suit. For his, not much design he can choose - either 1 or 2 button
Chosen the color - black with gold stripe - see the cloth like quite nice...
He has the mandarin collar suit as his 2nd suit.
We ask Jess to make his shirt for mandarin collar as well. only $60. Seems cheap as he might not be able to buy one which is suitable to his size and it might be more expensive.
That's All for that day for the gown design.

HE PROPOSED!!
ON DECEMBER 7th 2008 around 3 plus, He proposed!!
Well if you ask me what date is this, I DUNNO!!! hahaha...
Actually after that he told me that he intend to propose on 13 Dec 08 but can't cause i can't go travelling on that period and he will have to work on 13 Dec if he comes for 6-8 Dec trip. Hai.. So another date parking on my head liao... hahaha..
So how did he do it... hmm... actually not that romantic though... Still remember the previous post on he fell flat on the bed and i went soaking in the bath tub?? He waited outisde the toilet till i finished. I opened the door and found him outside, i saw he was hiding something behind his back but i didn't expect it to be my proposal RING!!
I was shocked as i thought he would just hold on the proposal till our wedding is over then he no need to propose already. AND still remember my bangkok trip?? I thought he would propose on my Birthday but he did not!! Which is why all my expectation gone to the drain when i'm back from Bangkok. I didn't expect him to bring the ring with him as i dun even know when he open the drawer and took the ring...
As he was already very sick, he clumsily kneel with one leg and show me the ring. Then he say some words but it doesn't get into me as i am in tears already. After that i ask him what did he say, he tell me forgot liao... Can like that one meh!!! With this, i think i can request for a re-proposal right?? hahaha...
Thought can have a romantic dinner after that but he's too sick so we just went to ta bao back our dinner. The next day, we went Pavilion and went into Soo Kee. They helped me wash my ring. i think they are providing this service to their Soo Kee customers especially Brilliant Rose customers. hahaha...
Well in all, there's still room for improvement!!
My Gan Xiang:
Didn't expect him to bring the ring along
Can't expect him to be that romantic cos he's like that
In life, little surprises does helps to maintain our flame
like the phrase in "恶作剧之吻"
我们的水就持续的在加温中，我们会慢慢的等到它水开了。
然后再缓缓的保持它，让它一直处於在沸腾状态
Well if you ask me what date is this, I DUNNO!!! hahaha...
Actually after that he told me that he intend to propose on 13 Dec 08 but can't cause i can't go travelling on that period and he will have to work on 13 Dec if he comes for 6-8 Dec trip. Hai.. So another date parking on my head liao... hahaha..

KL Trip 6-8 Dec 08
We booked everything last minute for this trip think 3 or 4 Dec then decided going for this free and easy trip (everything we book by ourself). We rushed to Goldenmile to book bus ticket to KL. It is relatively a new bus company Starmart sub branch of Air asia and return ticket will be another bus.. forgot what is the name already... dunno what susanna one.
boarded the bus at 8am at Goldenmile and we are stuck in the stupid jam at Tualink for more then 4 hours. By the time we are cleared at the Malaysia Custom it is already almost 1pm. The waiting is unbearable... And by the time we reached KL it is already 6pm already!! With this time frame we can almost reached Penang already!!!!!! Quickly went to Berjaya Times Square (BTS) to eat, didn't know what to eat and in the end we settle for Marybrown.
We actually booked a room through Starmart. The boss booked a Tiara Inn (if i'm not wrong) for us but when we reached there we are too tired. So we went to Orkid Hotel it is already 7.30pm RM128 for a Deluxe Room got window. The room was quite small and the air isn't that fresh either but since we have already taken this room so bo pian. We switch on the TV and found that they are airing "Love or Bread" by Ariel Lin and Joseph Chang. I'm so happy though i have seen that 1st episode already but at least its airing in Malaysia. When will it be Singapore turn....
Left hotel for some shopping. Went to BTS and found the shop (YSL Sportstation) that we went to previously still open so we brought a few shorts cos we didn't bring much. We went to metrojaya and saw a pair of wedding bears and quite cheap. it is only RM39.90 so we add it to our list as well. Walked around then went to the cinema to book ticket for "BOLT" for 11pm show. Since it is still early, we cheong to our next destination!!! THE BAK KUT TEH!!!! our craving and main motive for travelling to KL. Dunno the chinese shop name. But in the receipt it is written Emperor Capital SDN BHD with address No. 35-39 Medan Imbi, 55100 KL. It should be there la... Ate the bak kut teh, san bei chicken, and a lot more... SHOIK!! fulfilling!!
Then we went to parkroyal hotel to ask whether got room for the next day cos we don't think will stay in Orkid Hotel liao... no more room... so we borrow the telephone book from the concerige to check the hotels nearby. In the end the Dorsett Regency Hotel is the cheapest among the rest (RM300++). For your info, that timing is the peak season so all hotels jake up the price and the hotels that we are looking for is 4 star and above.
Then back to the movie, BOLT!! Quite a funny show actually. cute cute one... when it is over it around 1 plus already. Went back to sleep and prepare for our more beautiful room at Dorsett.
Went for our morning breakfast but its not that nice, we just ate the susage and the egg then we left for our DIM SUM!! Restoran Teochew just beside BTS. Ate a few dishes only cos zw not feeling very good. Then went to our Kueh Ling Gao store also just beside the restoran teochew!!
Then took cab to Dorsett. Can't check in cos still early so we went to the malls nearby to see see look look. ZW is begining to feel sick (fever) and tired so we went back to the hotel to see whether the room is ready. Waited for half an hour or so, they change us to another room which is ready. ZW fell flat on the bed when we reached. Then let him rest while i soak in the bath tub. Then he done something that i have been waiting for.... tell you in the next post. Then after resting till around 5 plus we went out to Chee Qiong Gei for the wedding shop to buy some wedding stuff.
In the end only brought the stickers then we brought dinner back to hotel to makan... brought my bak kua as well but not that nice didn't like the taste.
watch tv show till late at night. ZW's fever didn't subside so i have to wet the towel and help him to wipe his body to lower the temperature. throughout the night i didn't sleep much cos have to look after him and i didn't dare to go down to buy medicine for him cos its quite far.
Luckily he recover slightly the next day. so we went for breakfast at a hongkong cafe around Sungei Wang but not that nice. Then went for secret recipe!!! but they didn't have our lamb shank... Its cheaper to eat in Malaysia then in Singapore. so we ate their cake!! then we walked around The Pavilion. Went into the Coach store and saw a resort pink bag very nice. limited edition but very expensive $1000 plus... hehehe.. we went back to check out from the hotel and place our bag with the conceirge then went out to walk again. since our bus is leaving at 6pm at puduraya bus station, we left our hotel at 5pm, took cab there, checked in liao then went over to starbucks for a drink and brought mac just in case hungry.
our seat was taken up by a auntie and her grand daughter. Then i ask her whether could i see her ticket whether did i went to the wrong seat. Her daughter rushes over and talked loudly that they are seating at the correct place and said that our ticket got cancellation mark and say we cancel it. the stupid mark is made by the ticket operator not us!! super fed up... Typical Singaporean!!! Then we just walked down and talk to the person in charged. in the end we are being arranged to sit downstair. We just let go of the thing as we are also tired of arguing too.. By the time we reached Singapore, its already 1am liao... super tired...
The bus that we took back has quite a few things which we are quite satisfied. hmm... waiter on board, hot meals as there are microwave, games, massager and it doesn't stop at Goldenmile, it stopped at my banquet hotel!! Parkroyal @ Kitchener. so we don't need to line up with others to catch a cab.
boarded the bus at 8am at Goldenmile and we are stuck in the stupid jam at Tualink for more then 4 hours. By the time we are cleared at the Malaysia Custom it is already almost 1pm. The waiting is unbearable... And by the time we reached KL it is already 6pm already!! With this time frame we can almost reached Penang already!!!!!! Quickly went to Berjaya Times Square (BTS) to eat, didn't know what to eat and in the end we settle for Marybrown.
We actually booked a room through Starmart. The boss booked a Tiara Inn (if i'm not wrong) for us but when we reached there we are too tired. So we went to Orkid Hotel it is already 7.30pm RM128 for a Deluxe Room got window. The room was quite small and the air isn't that fresh either but since we have already taken this room so bo pian. We switch on the TV and found that they are airing "Love or Bread" by Ariel Lin and Joseph Chang. I'm so happy though i have seen that 1st episode already but at least its airing in Malaysia. When will it be Singapore turn....
Left hotel for some shopping. Went to BTS and found the shop (YSL Sportstation) that we went to previously still open so we brought a few shorts cos we didn't bring much. We went to metrojaya and saw a pair of wedding bears and quite cheap. it is only RM39.90 so we add it to our list as well. Walked around then went to the cinema to book ticket for "BOLT" for 11pm show. Since it is still early, we cheong to our next destination!!! THE BAK KUT TEH!!!! our craving and main motive for travelling to KL. Dunno the chinese shop name. But in the receipt it is written Emperor Capital SDN BHD with address No. 35-39 Medan Imbi, 55100 KL. It should be there la... Ate the bak kut teh, san bei chicken, and a lot more... SHOIK!! fulfilling!!
Then we went to parkroyal hotel to ask whether got room for the next day cos we don't think will stay in Orkid Hotel liao... no more room... so we borrow the telephone book from the concerige to check the hotels nearby. In the end the Dorsett Regency Hotel is the cheapest among the rest (RM300++).

BKK (Day 8) Sep 27 LAST DAY!!
8 days passes so quickly!! today last day already... suddenly feel like dun want to go back so fast.. hahaha.. contridicting woman right hahaha
Went for breakfast... eaten so many days of american breakfast. We didn't eat much, firstly is eat until sian already, secondly we have our spa waiting for us!!
We checked out 1st then place our luggage with the concerige then went for our spa.
Since this is our 1st time, it feels weird to have someone bathing for you. and we have to bare it all to that person. Though we are in separate rooms but its weird la... hehehe...
then we have facial too... at least this one better then the one i had in pratunam center.
Then massage!!!! wow this massage lagi best ar!!!! like king and queen. even though its just foot reflexlogy and shoulder,back massage. you have someone doing your foot and another one doing your back at the same time!!! wah... very shoik!!!!
After spa, went to Indra Regent food court for lunch. then brought 1 dress for Ting Ting. Thought of buying that for my wedding for Ting Ting to wear.. very sweet dress. Then we took cab to airport and it cost 300 baht. Its cheaper then Ah Wee's cab fare. Hahaha...
Then at airport makan Burger King to dispose those lose change.
Had a bad experience with my air carrier.
When i collect my luggage at Changi Airport, found that there are a few luggage bags sealed up with red tape and stated as fragile of which my luggage is one of the sealed up as well. So fed up... my precious bag. it been with me to so many places and it is still working fine and this stupid Air carrier spoilt my bag... the zipper 's side came off and can't put thing already... so sian...
will put up a complaint with the air carrier and claim from my travel insurance!!!
My bag... my pitiful bag!!!!!
However overall travel experience is good. Though spent a few thousand but at least we have relaxed enough and done our shopping for the polo tees. Good harvest!!
Amount spent :
taxi - 300
lunch - 200
spa - 6200
ting clothes - 200
burger king - 300
