Bikini

My pink Billabong bikini!!



Can't wait to wear them...

Bridal shoes

My bridal shoes are ready! Went to International Plaza after work to collect them.

A sneak peek..







I was a little disappointed cos I thought it didn't look as great as the first time when I tried them on. The height of the heels does matter. I reduced it by 1 inch but I am sure it will aid in my walking that day :)

Work-in-progress for invite cards

Hard at work...



All cards went through very thorough QC!



We finally learnt how to tie nice ribbons at the end of it all.



Never forget to pose for the new camera!



Ta-dah!

Just 1 more month...

HAPPY 86TH MONTH!!

I can't believe I'm getting married NEXT MONTH! I thought there're still 6 more months to go??!

Went for dress fitting at Yamei Aunty's today. I was pissed at her last week cos the fitting was supposed to be on 17 April but she went out of town - WITHOUT INFORMING ME! It was until when I called her to confirm the timing then I came to know about it from her daughter. How irresponsible!

I called her on Wednesday and she gave lots of excuses to cover up her negligence. I do not wish to elaborate further cos it will only get my blood boiling.

Anyway, we got to her house today and tried on a very raw piece of inner lining. Apparently, I managed to shed some flabs on my arms (yay!!) but not on the tummy! :( It felt tight...... Hai, more workouts to come! There are more amendments to be made and we have fixed the collection date on 15 May. Hopefully, there will not be any more tricks up her sleeve.... We paid an additional $100 deposit.

Headed to Marina Square to collect my Swarovski earrings! But to my disappointment, they were only 80% completed so have to go back next week. However, they look stunning!! HAHAHA!

Next on our cards - buying of materials at Spotlight. We spent a good 2 hours at Spotlight looking for guest book decors and ribbons for our invite cards. Eventually, we only managed to but some foam butterflies for the decor and the rest of the time was spent walking to and fro the ribbon sections that was unwittingly located at 2 ends of Spotlight.

We changed from a 5mm thick ribbon to a 9mm and finally a 15mm as we could not find 2 rolls of blue and green ribbons for the specific thickness.

Items bought from Spotlight:
- Fabric glue
- Foam decor
- 2 rolls of blue and green ribbons each

When we reached home, we got down to business excitedly. Tying of ribbons was no easy feat, seriously. But we finished all 4 rolls and realised we were still short of it.

Will show the work-in-progress of the invite cards soon!

Invite cards & Bikini!

Have sent our invite cards for print and....... they are ready! Collected them at his cousin's and both of us were so excited to get on with our art & craft session!

Oh, oh! I bought my 1st set of bikini on Tuesday from Billabong!!!!! I'm getting so ready for my Redang honeymoon! The best deal is, I got them at a dirt-cheap price - $15!!!!!

Making their debut appearance.....

JIANG-JIANG!






Our customised rings from Fairy's Inc...




The rose gold engraving on the inside of his ring that reads: Henry & Flora 24 May 2010



Last but not least, a closer look at my detachable ring! The rose gold with the 2 hearts is customised in such a way that my proposal ring made it complete. It has a groove to hold the proposal ring in place.

Mini Honeymoon!

Henry went to Edward's for a haircut and I thought it would be good for me to meet up with him one more time before the big day.

He knew how my dress is going to be like and suggested that I tie my hair up in a loose and messy bun instead of letting it flow onto my shoulders since he doesn't want to make it look cluttered with the addition of the feathers.

Edward showed me a few looks from magazines and I told him briefly on what I wanted. He said he has a friend who can help him to buy nice head accessory and I will have to keep a lookout for nice ones should I find something I like.

Showed Edward this photo of which I want to achieve this look on that day:



I brought up my concern that I'm afraid this look is only suitable for a night function but Edward assured me that he will make it apt for my ROM, perhaps blending the black eye shadow with a tinge of dark green.

Mommy wanted to have her hair styled as well so Edward advised us to reach the salon at 10am on that day.

We picked up our rings at Fairy's Inc finally!! They will make a debut appearance soon.. They were beautiful!! I thought mine was really unique - one of a kind... Can't wait to put them on!

Evelyn taught us the correct way to tie the rings to the ring pillow and apparently, Henry, who is an expert in doing origami and other hands-on art & craft, did a better job than me!

There was supposed to be a diamond added to the side of the ring but that area was too small to have one so Evelyn did away with it. Finally, we paid the balance of our rings.

Made our way to the Travel Fiesta at Suntec Convention Centre with an agenda of signing a package for our mini honeymoon!! Both of us thought it would be great to have a short getaway after our ROM and plus, it is going to be the first time that we are going overseas - just the 2 of us! We came to realise that for all those previous trips, we have been going with our friends or family and never had we been on one alone...

Did some information gathering at Five Stars, CTC, Asa, Nam Ho, etc. We took up a package from Five Stars - 4D3N at Redang at $580 per pax! It was a little pricey though due to the peak PH period on 28 May. We will be staying at Laguna Redang Resort, the one where Xia Ri Mo Mo Cha movie was shot at! All meals will be provided with one buffet/ BBQ dinner and there will be 4 snorkeling sessions! The downside of it would be that we need to take a 10-hour coach ride, excluding the 1 to 2-hour ferry ride.

Nevertheless, I'm really excited about our mini honeymoon! Will be going on 27 May (after Joo and Jay's wedding) and back on 31 May!!
