Preparation for Wedding - Part 3

Good news, I've gotten my photo album and all the soft copy back from the bridal shop. It's a surprise when we were there to choose his daddy's coat and his sister's dress as we were not informed that it was ready for collection. It's still a mystery as my hubby does not want me to post it out yet. But of course, I will negotiate with him for you people to preview it before 30 October 2010.

I'm going for a trial makeup tomorrow as Sammi, the makeup artist for my studio and outdoor shot, will be away to Korea on my wedding day. I really hope that the new makeup artist that they allocate for me will be as good as her.

I'm also going down to Whitelink again on 01 October 2010 to try my tea dress and also my sister's dress. I'm excited again because I can try all the nice nice dress on me. How I wish I can put them all on and take as much photos as possible but too bad it is just a wish.

Recently, I've been sending out my invitation to my guests to confirm their attendance. So far, I've already get full confirmation from my relatives and neighbours and have arrange their seating. This is so headache but I really enjoy the progress of planning my own wedding.

Juggling my Personal and Working life

Recently I'm having a hard time juggling my personal and working life.

Let's start on my working life first.

I have two of my colleagues resigned and each of them transferred half of their portfolios to me. Though there was a proper handover but compared to handling it from the scratch, there is a big gap to catch up. I know they did their part trying to clear as much as possible before leaving but time was running out. Anyway all the best for your future endeavours, Fitrie & Germaine.

Other than those heavy workload, I'm also promoted. My designation right now is Corporate Secretarial Semi-Senior. I know it sounds funny and you must be thinking what's this. My boss said that in some of the accounting firm, there does have this position as Semi-Senior and it is a step away to being a Senior. So I must work extra harder to get rid of this weird designation. Hopefully by next year.

And now more of my personal life which is equal to my wedding preparation. After the photo taking and interview for the RP magazine and STOMP saga, I rested for quite some time. Around the last two weeks of July, my banquet coordinator (Carol) called to remind me to print the invitation cards and also to arrange for a food tasting session. With the motivation of Carol, we got ourselves back on the wedding preparation mood. We went to various tour agency to look for our honeymoon trip to Japan. And we did finalised our 7 days Japan honeymoon trip with Hong Thai Travel. We will be visiting Universal Studio and Disneyland / DisneySea. I'm so looking forward to see my favourite cartoon characters. Gonna take many pictures with you, Mickey and Minnie Mouse. And with this I shall round up my August schedule.

Preparation for Wedding - Part 2

It's been a while that I last updated about my wedding preparation. Here  I come.

I've been looking around to get a suitable dress for my sisters. And finally, I saw this dress online that suits my budget, colour, design and material. Without further hesitation, I ordered six pieces at one go. I hope it turns out exactly like the one I saw.

I also bought the materials for making the corsage. It will be made-to-measure and is to be hand-made by me. See, how nice I treat my sisters. I, myself like it too. Can I have one?

So much about my sisters so what about his brothers. He had decided on the brothers outfit. Actually nothing special, guys as usual are shirt and pants for such a formal event. The colour of the shirt is purple and he is also getting a matching tie for them too. We will be out shopping for them this weekend.

We are also having our first official meeting with the helpers this Saturday. I'm sad to say that many of them can't make it but we will carry on with our plan and do whatever we can first. We had already noted down the agendas and draft the actual day itinerary for further amendments. Seems like we are well prepared but there are still lots of things awaiting for us to settle.

So Sick, Poor MinMin

Finally I'm recovering from my virus infection. Accordingly to Doctor Ang, I caught virus from SGH when I visited my dad over the weekend. And I've to suffer till last Monday to consult the doctor. I'm downed with fever, flu and cough. And my highest record was 39.3°C. I'm so afraid that I might burnt my brain. I was being quarantined with my Laogong for two days because he was ill too. We don't even know who was looking after who. Hehe..

Since last week, I sleep early almost every night and I lost my appetite. Is it a good or bad sign? 

Perhaps it is a good sign for me to keep healthy and lose weight. I really hope I can slim down by October for my wedding so that I can be the prettiest bride. To my dear friends, do not worry I will slim down the proper and healthy way. 

Lastly, thank you for your care and concern during that period. Muack..

Happy 23rd Bithday To Me

Back from all the pre, actual and post celebration. 

To all my friends, thanks for all the birthday greetings and presents.

my lovely presents

On the eve of my birthday, I went to have dinner with my secondary school classmates at Bishan de Manhattan Fish Market followed by prawning. Though I didn't caught any but at least I have this group of friends to accompany me. We ended around 2am and everyone headed home immediately as they had to work the next day. I know you all were tired but for the sake of me, you all endured through.

On the next morning when I was awake, my Laogong presented a bouquet of sunflower. It was my long awaited gift from him. As usual he cooked 面线 for me with an egg, drumstick and not forgetting my favourite crab stick.

After lunch, we prepared ourselves and headed to Vivo City for movie, Shrek Forever After. It's a nice fairytale and they stayed happily ever after. After the movie, it's time to report for our dinner at Valley Point de Dozo. It's our first fine dining experience and it turned out to be good. Service, ambience, location, food and drink 10 out of 10. After that we met our friends for dessert at Dempsy de Ben & Jerry.

A simple movie, a simple dinner make my day. Thanks Laogong.

Laogong & Laopo

my 23rd birthday

For my post celebration, it was with my gal friends. We had the cabin seat at New York New York and giggles, gossips all the way throughout the dinner. And they bought me a cake, it's my first cake of this year. Though  is late but appreciate for the effort. I don't know how but we eneded meeting my secondary school classmates. My gal friends and them are schoolmates so can link them together. At last we were at Mount Faber Safra bowling. We played till almost 3am then went home. Great, I picked up my skills again.

Lastly, I would like to thank my friends again and I enjoyed myself.

The rest of the photos can be viewed from my facebook.

Excited and Worried

I'm looking forward to enjoy my last week of May. I'll be turning 23 this year and I'm ready to party. Party means celebration, too old to club le. I will update you people with photos real soon.

I've already got my first birthday present from my hubby which is a Ralph Lauren bag. The second one came from my colleague, a Chomel bracelet. Next is my yearly birthday card from JingWen. Will I receive more?

I've got mix feelings right now. Though I'm excited over my birthday celebration but I'm feeling worried too. Sad to say that my dad had to be admitted to the hospital for further observation due to his pain in his stomach. I'm currently in the ward with him right now. He seems to be feeling much better but we are still waiting for his results before he can be release. Everything will be fine.
