HEHEE
Thursday, May 08, 2008 10:33 PM Woo I am back with some pictures finally! Here's our room! Nothing spectacular la but we really put in alot of effort at every corner.
I love the green wall and the new laminated flooring! Saw that white shelve, green carpet, curtain and computer table? All are from Ikea! Wah that day we really had a hard time trying to lug everything back home. Almost can't fit the fixtures into our car! Thanks god for the help from the staffs. We tried to put everything together throughout the night with all the drilling and knocking. Luckily no one call the police to complain. Haha... Anyway it's all lies lor. Ikea stuff very hard to fix together leh. I was responsible for the shelve while the husband do up the computer table. Gawd. The shelves have a whole lot of screws and nuts! I almost gave up. -_- We got the waredrobe and bedframe from Brighton. I must say they go very well with the rest of the furniture! Loving every bit of the room now. ^^ especially the cozy corner! (aiya forget to take pictures of the winkies!! UGH! Next time perhaps!) Pre-wedding shoot preparation! We had lotsa last minute shopping! I always wanted to get a Olive Suite gown so we popby their store and found really lovely dresses there. But the only problem is that their MTM need about 1-2 months to be done so I chose an OTR short dress instead. Luckily all I need was a little alteration that only takes a few days. I had my manicure and pedicure done at Bendemeer Mall which is just opposite my 娘家。 The girls from Pastel Festal did a great job and the price is really reasonable! I am hardly a girly person la so mani pedi these kind of things I won't bear to spend too much. HAHA.
Had a hard time trying to look for a pair of shoes to go with my dress. I wanted to get a pair of heels and Converse Shoes, which my Husband also bought a pair and wants me to buy a matching one. After looking all over the place, I bought a pair of lovely off white heels and a moss green converse shoes which match the gown perfectly! We had 2 pre-wed shoot in total and they are just 2 days apart from each other. We had the one from our Bridal shop 1st and next with Wansheng. The photoshoot on last Saturday with Bliss Bridal wasn't exactly pleasant. (ok, not that they are no good la. I guess the weather wasn't in our favour tat day! ><) I wasn't very ok with the makeup (the eyeshadow) but I guess the MUA was just trying to make sure the makeup can match with all outfit... (but I only wore one gown which suits that color eyeshadow while the rest are white! :O) I had lotsa different hairstyle thou... :/ The MUA is actually a very nice lady la but I guess I prefer lighter make up instead of what she did to me... Anyway it's just personal preference, so no offence or worry that the MUA is no good ah. We had our shoot in the studio 1st and was asked to change into 5 different outfit. But I decided to just wear Evening Gown, Wedding Gown, my own tea dress and Kua for the studio shoot. The husband wore 2 different shirts with the same coat. We was rather against the idea of wearing traditional costume... (PS: I think I look like those ghost wearing kua in chinese horror movie. GAHHHHH) Where we go: Ann Siang Hill > Alexandra road > Labrador Park I regretted going Labrador Park. My gown is long and heavy. The weather was freaking hot. I have to pose with my holding back bending 45 degrees most of the time (don't ask me why!). My feet hurts like mad when sand stuck onto my slippers. I almost burst into tears when we are at our last few shots. I am dead tired. I just wanna GOHOMEEEEEEEEEE. :( Not sure how the photos will turn out to be. But I am sure I won't top up extra. The shoot with Wansheng was superfun thou! Husband wanted something different... urban... while I like it morbid. Hahaa.. yes indeed very weird when it comes to pre-wed shoot. But we already had one very... normal and traditional with the BS, why not get something for this one? This explain why we wore Converse and I didn't put on a normal veil. Talking about the veil, I think Sharon did a very good job with the very normal looking veil and transform it into something like a rose and put it on my head. Hee. I like it! I like my make up in earth colors too. I see that she knows what suits me best therefore I got her for my actual day wedding make up and gave up the one from the BS. Pocket burnt a big hole la but it's all worth it! :) Where we go: Our place > Seletar Camp > Changi Beach We started off the day with my make up at 12pm then the arrival of Wansheng. Lunch. Shoots in the room > In the living hall. Didn't know our place got so many potential areas for nice photos. Hee. After the weather starts to cool down, we proceed to Seletar Camp for our outdoor shoot. Thank god for Wansheng's warning, we sprayed quite abit of insect repellent and we kanna no mozzie bite! :P Heng I wore converse shoes if not walking and climbing will be a big problem. Tee-hee. The god was very kind with us because the weather was good and the sky was beautiful! Love the pictures that Wansheng played around with the lightings. Changi Beach isn't that bad too! Even thou I really hate going to the beach because sand getting in the shoes can be quite irritating. But surprisingly none got in and the pinky sky lights up my mood. ^^ I guess getting to know your photographer a little more does helps to build a better communication bridge on the photoshoot day. Really grateful for all the hardwork he puts in for our shoot! I am really looking forward to see the entire end product but for now, here are some of the pictures that Wansheng have edited. Love it all la! heee!
Huijun told me that day that after viewing them, she feels like getting married too! Now you know the power of wedding photos! Hee hee hee... Faster get married la bestie! You know I wait until long neck liao. :P The bombshell: Oh I mention about us dropping a bombshell... That is we are going to Hong Kong end of this month. Not for the 4th time travelling there... but the Husband will be starting his new career there. We have no idea what are the plans like but we will most probably be staying there for like 2 years and come back when he have a better opportunity in Singapore. And if you're wondering, how about our wedding? We will definitely be back for it! I guess we will be back on quite a frequent basis la. My main concern are my parents and sister. I know my Mum will prolly miss me alot but for a better future, we have to get thru this whole thing together. And if you're also wondering, what am I going do there when the Husband goes work? Be tai tai lor. HEE. No la, I have plans of doing some online business... and prolly cook every meals at home to save money and occupy myself. Ailing mei always say that she feels worried for me because she knows I will 胡思亂想 if I stay at home for too long. But what to do? My visa doesn't allow me to get a job there unless I apply for a work permit... See how it goes ba! So if you're my friend, buddy buddy, or bestest buddy and really want to meet up with me, please put time put place now! I only left with half a month! *sob* Last but not least, here are some of the things I wanna eat before we head over to HK. -OMG PLEASE GIVE ME DURAINS! I don't mind eating them until I nose bleed. If you have no idea how much I love durains, I can eat 5 in one shot, and have them all for 3 meals, for entire week! -Laksa spaghetti from Rose Apple! -Steamboat and dark sauce chicken that my mum cook. -Boiled soup from my ah mah! -Bak "Koot" Teh at Katong! Wah alot of others in mind. But I shall stop here! HEE! Labels: bridal room, hk, marriage, photography, relocate, wedding preps
Friday, April 18, 2008 10:51 AM This is the 2nd MC of the week. I totally felt like a ballon now. My top part of the tummy is so bloated and HURT LIKE MAD that I can hardly sit or stand still. Man, I sounded like a pregnant woman (not!). Not sure if its my gastric acting up again or its because of my period, I had bad gastric attack for 5 days straight right after every single meals. I have been procratinating about seeing a doctor but perhaps I should really be seeing one later since the Husband is coming back to fetch me during lunch time. Pain sucks. So in the end we bought a Xbox360 instead of PS3 together with a Samsung 32" lcd tv. LCD tv are so cheap these days that you can use your normal crt TV as fish tank already. The Husband got addicted to Army of 2 and I am his partner in crime... (more like pulling him to die with me instead. The game piss me off.) This is crazy but I kanna motion sickness because of the game. The "camera" can't stop moving! And the controller keeps rumbling at every shot I fire. And so I have bought a cuter game, Every Party to keep it cool. Have yet to start with it... until The Husband complete his AOT. The room is 90% done. Only left with a mad aircon which couldn't stop leaking like a running tap. Coolserve can't make it this week to service it so gotta wait till next week. And the in-laws are coming back tomorrow I hope they don't mind leaking air-con. >< Yesterday I went back to my own place to look at the renovation. My mum said that everything will be completed by tonight. Looking pretty good in shape, minus all the messy left over material and paints. Tomorrow I will be going back to do a major cleaning with them. And perhaps unload some of my stuff there... Life will never be the same again in the house. I am a married child now. Blog without pictures very boring hor? Ok la I will try to put up pictures soon! (Ok promise promise!) Just for info, tonight (I THINK!) the Husband and I will be appearing on TV Channel 8's Frontline (前线追踪) at 10.30pm... I bet I am gonna look like shit and sweating like mad (ganjiong and very strong camera light that heat up the entire house), kept talking out of direction . Don't laugh if you got watch, and if you got watch, take what we said as a pinch of salt. GamXia ah! Labels: bridal room, family, marriage
Tuesday, April 08, 2008 11:40 AM I was actually quite concerned about the paint smell in the room where we just renovated so I have been actively looking for ways to get rid of the smell asap. I always know that a bowl of Vinegar in the middle of the room will do the job but I also found out that Onion can work too. So I happily shashay down to NTUC to get Vinegar. But to my horror, Vinegar is out of stock so I bought like a bunch of 10 onions back. I hate onions, I believe most of you know. But for the benefit of removing the toxic smell of the paint, I just have to bear with it. So once I got back home, I cut up 6 onions, 3 soaked in water in 2 bowls while another 3, lying in 2 plates. I thought closing the windows and door will be more effective... But the smell was soooooo strong that it's lingering around the living room when I am downstairs watching tv! And so, I decided to brave my way up and open the door... (phawr! THE SMELLLLLLLL!!!) quickly open the windows, switch on the lights (prevent roaches from crawling in) and dash out of the room, leaving the door close behind me. 4 hours and counting, the Husband finally knock off and the 1st thing he asked me was, what's THAT SMELL?!?! Smelly feet ah? AHHAHA! I told him that onion can effectively suck the fumes of the paint and remove the smell. But after much thought, we decided to throw the onions away instead but the smell is really too horrible. I already very dread about opening that door but have to do it to remove those onions. After removing the onions, the husband spotted a hugggggggggggggeeee assssssssss flying roach! O M G! FLY ONE LEH! Don't ask me why, but I always got this perspective that cockroaches are scared of onions. BUT IT TURN OUT THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO ONIONS!! Blame me la, open the window somemore. Ugh! But I thought onions and lights keeps out roaches mah. :( Anyway, FYI, both of us are scared of cockroaches one. Especially flying ones. The stupid roach was on the ceiling corning. So we tried to use news paper and hit it down but we can't reach it at all. After a while, we saw it taking off and flying in the room. Should have recorded how we react and ran down the stairs. Damn classic. Anyway, we were praying hard to catch it because we cannot let it conquer the whole house and multiply! We can't spray or hit it because we can't bear to dirty our new room leh! Thank god after arming with a can of Sheltox and broom, the roach finally landed on the floor and the Husband quickly hit it with the broom and killed it! muahahahaha.... Now the room really not much paint smell liao... because it's overpowered by the strong onion smell. -_- It makes me so sick whole night that I have to continuously apply vicks on my nose. Ok that's it. No opening of windows. NO MORE ONION. I shall go buy air freshener and some charcoal to make the room smell nice. Labels: bridal room, bugs, marriage
Saturday, April 05, 2008 5:54 PM I am all smelly and sweaty now after doing a helluv housework. Grrr. Finally we have finish all the dirty renovation work for our little cozy room. We spent 2 days to paint a new coat of refreshing green for the wall and change the laminated flooring to a darker color. What can I say? Loving every inch of the room now! The painting part was rather hectic. Initially we chosen Nippon's Spring Green color but we got a shock after we tried painting a little on the wall. It's too striking for our liking so we have to paint a coat of white over it and buy another color for it. Initially we thought since it's so difficult to get the kind of green we like, why not just paint white? But the Husband is just so desperate find THAT green that he likes, so we make a trip out to this paint shop outside the house. Yay to Dulux paint! They have the green we want and it's so much cheaper than Nippon lor. :/ For the 1st day, we tried to finish painting the entire room but usually the 1st layer will look uneven. So for the 2nd day, I tried to touch up parts of the wall which look lighter and viola! It looks almost perfect now! This morning the flooring guys came over to remove the old laminate and change it to our desire color. Took them 6 hours to finish. So here I am, feeling damn tired after cleaning everything up. Mattress - Checked. Bedframe - Supposedly delivery tomorrow. Computer Table - Sourcing Waredrobe - Sourcing Display Rack - Sourcing Side Table - Sourcing Beanbag for cozy corner - Yet to buy but should be getting the one from Crumpler. TV + PS3 - Still considering! Will be making a trip to Sungei Kudut for furniture shopping tomorrow with my Sister. The Husband is working today and tomorrow too. Damn sian lor. :( Ok, I know I still owe alot of photos. Hee... Will post some photos of the new room soon too! Labels: bridal room, marriage
