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.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
