Happy 5yr 11 months anniversary...........

Come to think of it, we have been together for 71 months. =) Didnt go for any special celebration today as both of us have to run errands for our Monday photoshoot.

Today is also Mr Anything and Master Wong's birthday..... Tanjobi Omedeto!!!

-> Started the day by going to check on our auspicious day and time for an chuang, guo da li and to leave the house on wedding day.... and which animal clashes with us on that day etc. This costs us $28 for checking with the chinese almanac shifu as the cost is specifically stated if we are asking about wedding dates

• Leave the house on the wedding day before 9am after the groom gatecrash,
• Avoid Rat and Horse, so my pitiful mama, who is a horse, has to hide away from us when we enter the house. Luckily it will only be a short while.
• Guo Da Li will be on 29th July 1-4pm in order to make it for them to send invitation cards before seventh mth which starts on 13 Aug.

-> Went tailor to pick up BE's shirt at Orchard Towers, hopefully this newly-made wing-tip shirt will better than expected so as to reveal a bit of the sleeve after wearing the jacket.

-> Walked to F@iry's inc to collect our rings with customised vines designs embossed on it. We were worried initially on the final product but it turns to be what we expect.... So happy.... All thanks to designer Evelyn and co-designer BE.

The nice nice packaging

A close up on the design - Champagne Gold for BE and Rose Gold for me

-> Had dinner at Pepper Lunch, i had Shimofuri Beef and BE has pepper chicken rice.... this costs us $25 for fast food? Anyway i can say that the beef is yummy coz there is fats in the meat tt makes it succulent and tender. I simply love any meat with fats or skin haha - like tt how to stay slim and fit for wedding?


-> Next, went Tangs to shop for Lipgloss to touch up during photoshoot and got myself a CD one which i always wanted to have.

-> Moved on to TWP to collect gowns, etc.... On our way there, my fingers got clamped by the car window all thanks to my stupidity as i closed it when my hand was still hanging outside... Ouch!!! Anyway Guess what??? we saw T@y Pinghui and Felici@ Chin just outside the bridal shop... Didnt realise is them when we parked the car but just had the impression that this guy walked like a gay..... He has those attitude face while Felici@ Chin looks pretty and taller than expected. Went in to tell Mel and Vickie and they were as excited as us and went out to peep at them. While we were finalising details, a couple in the bridal shop commented that i have a pretty evening gown... Hmmm i felt so proud of myself as i am the co-designer for tt. =)

-> Visit our godson... He looked so chirpy and is so fun to play with as he is now 6mths. I am actually scared of carrying baby less than 6mths as i am worried that i might break their bones with my clumsiness haha. I like the way he hugs his bolster as it looks so comfortable....

The process of customising bridal gown and wedding bands

Did my first bridal fitting on Friday..... Tried on the pearl white wedding gown with tulle skirt first and it turned out to be loose. Mel (bridal designer) pinned up the excess and as expected, i got prick by the pins as I am too "chu lu". After which, she helped me put on the additional long satin skirt which i intend to have during solemnisation and dinner walk-in. Both of us were flabbergasted by the transformation - from a princessy feel to elegant touch. I must say that the additional cost is well spent. Next is my evening gown - we chose salmon pink (my fav colour), red and yellow to create similar flowy effect as what i shortlist from the bridal magazine but the red doesnt turn out to be as obvious as the pink and yellow. Anyway, on the whole, i am satisfied with both gowns.

After my fitting, we change our focus to the groom who is often neglected when he also contributes to the wedding fund. BE took his measurement for his suit... As much as he wanted a white suit, he chose a black one with satin collar in the end to match my black lace gown and also for practicality reasons. Scheduled second fitting date is on May 11.........

Next, we traveled down to Fairy's Inc to customise our rings. We like those vine designs and took a sample of UBS ang bao which has such prints for Evelyn, one of the pretty Fairy's Inc boss, to view. She extracted some designs and drew it on a sample ring for us to try on. The design will be embossed on the rings, champagne gold for BE and rose gold for me. We couldnt decide on the date which we will like to engrave on the rings - should it be 14 Aug (our dating and proposal date) or should it be one month and one day later - 15 Sept (our wedding date????) Fortunately, we still have some time to think and decide on it. The whole process took us about an hour plus and the finalised design is out all thanks for BE's precious input and Evelyn's dedicated effort.
