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.

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
