My Friend's Wedding Dinner

Just returned from my colleague/long-time-friend's wedding at marriot. she looked very pretty, all grown up in her wedding gowns... saw so many of those ppl whom i'd worked with too.. haha they're the same happy bunch. sad to say, dinner at wedding dinners are seldom good. the best i've had so far was at sheraton towers. tonight's dishes were a little below par.

looking forward to planning for our own wedding. should be pretty simple. prob a long trained gown for the wedding rite, then a shorter gown for the reception. we're not planning a chinese dinner, so 100 times less hassle. just need:-
  1. photographer/videographer
  2. caterer
  3. gowns/suit
  4. make-up and hair

That's it. that's all. shouldn't be that difficult right? of course will need some help ushering and coordinating the thingie. but not that bad right?

was looking at some of the photographers. avenue 8 (www.avenue8.com.sg) seems the most promising. will check that out soon. was thinking of getting either get d'fia or utopia to do the photo shoot but they are quite expensive. i want a guy who can take bnw effortlessly. that way his colour photos won't have an issue. no posed photos pls. some natural shots (i guess it can't be all that natural)... in natural sunlight. none of that posed in front of some backdrop thingie thank you very much. i must say friend's taste in photography is quite similar to mine. will check out satine as well.

as for gowns, i want simple and nice lines. no idea who's good yet. but no need anything over the top. but i guess ott is the default here so i've gotta pay more for something simple looking?? doesn't make sense.

found my caterer - www.purplesage.com.sg they did a really good job at SMOTA. they're THE ONE. ok enuff talk about the wedding prep. gotta go kooonz for a black monday.

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
