My Wedding Car


This is our wedding car. The decoration is very simple because my hubby wants it that way. I dun really like a black car for my wedding because I think it look like a coffin car to me but my hubby wants it so we got a black car. I remember my hubby still joked with my florist that it look like a coffin car if he put his photo in front of the flowers.

Tea Set on my Wedding


This is the set of tea pot we used during our tea ceremony on the bride side. The groom side used a different one but it is something similar. I shall post a picture a day now, hoping that all my pictures will show on my blog.

Wrist Corages


Found a pretty wrist corsages on a forum. I regreted not using one on my ROM which is three years ago. I guess wrist corsages was not an "in" thing at that time. For my wedding, I did provide wrist corsages for all my bridemaids but they are not as pretty as this one I have posted here.

Enjoying my married life

I am enjoying my married life very much. We have been going out a lot on weekday and sometime we dun get home until pass midnight. I have been eating lots of supper at night and I am hoping that I will not grow fat any sooner.

The only thing that piss me off is that Hello refuse to load some of my pictures I have posted here. I was wondering if everybody cannot see my pictures or is it just me.

My hubby brought a lot of coins for my bridemaids in order for them to open the gate for him to enter. However, my bridemaids did not accept the offer.

This is what my bridemaids force the groom and his "brothers" to eat during the gate crushing session. It is believe that we will go through "sour","sweet","bitter" & "spicy" stuffs in life. To better understand this, it has to be read in Chinese.

The details on my wedding gowns.

I love the way my wedding photographer capture the details of my wedding days. I never realise that oranges with double "xi" stickers can look so nice.

My makeup artist came at 5:50am when she said she will come at 6am. I was eating my drumstick breakfast when she came.

I have collected all my photographs from John Lim today. I must said that I am quite please with the results. I will share my pictures here but you will not see my face.

Mission Accomplished

I am back finally. Brought a new laptop today and got my internet connection running. So happy to be back in virtual world.

I think everything goes quite well for me, my in-law side screwed up the table arrangement because they forgot to bring the table arrangement list, all my guest kept stepping on my evening gown during the table shooting, everybody complained that the restaurant service is horrible, and best of all, my father in-law robbed us $12k worth of angbows(we only manage to get $3k).

My hubby is outside signing away. I think he is very stress. I think I am very stress too. I caught him smoking on my first day in my new house. He admitted that he has been smoking everyday, hiding from me. I called him a cheat and did not share a bed with him on the first night. I still cannot forget about it.

Frankly speaking, I really do not know how to live in the same house with him. I think he will go back to his old smoking habit, 2 packets of ciggrates per day. I felt that I am forced to accept him. I really want him to quit smoking, but is that too much to ask for?

French Menicure

Hi gals, if you are thinking about quiting your job and start your own business, do consider starting a nail shop.

I went to Bugis today to look for a nail shop, found one and it is fully booked today. I went to Plaza Singapura, found another nail shop and was fully booked too. I dun know why all nail shop are fully book on a Friday afternoon.

It was my second time going for a menicure and I did not have to book for the first time. I felt like a mountain turtle here.

I went down to Orchard, manage to find a nail shop that accept walk-in customers. I do not want to put the shop name here because I want to comment that the nail shop was infested with ah lians. One of the ah lian was doing my pedicure when she screamed at me in broken English,"You put your leg like that, how I do?". Today then I realise one of my leg is retarded because I need to bend my whole leg for her to paint correctly. However, there is one thing good about her. She is very very fast.

After watching her do my nails, I think I know how to DIY my own french menicure.
1) File your nails, make the tip of the finger flat.
2) Clean your hands after filing.
3) Apply base coat to your nails.
4) Apply 1st coat of background colour to your nails.
5) Apply 2nd coat of background colour to your nails
6) Apply 1st coat of white strip colour to the ends of your nails.
7) Apply 1st coat of white strip colour to the ends of your nails.
8) Apply shine coat to your nails
9) Wait for your nails to dry
10) Apply nail oil to the finish nails, you are done.

I hope you know what I am talking about. By the way, I will try to DIY my own french menicure in future.

I have collected my evening gown

Guess what, I only see the final version of my evening gown when I go and collect it today. That designer was busy entertaining his potential customer. He only look up at me when I do the final payment and asked if the gown was all right. I think he was so faked.

I think I am the only person in this world that is not very happy with him. I am so glad I dun have to see him again. The evening gown however was nice at the back. I will post the picture after my wedding.

My hubby was having his mood swing again. He called me just now and told me that he feel like dying. He said he felt really lousy because he own several banks a total of $17k. He has never tell me this before and he was always telling me that he got more than enough. He also told me that he was feeling very stress and he is worried that he could not support me (I told him that I could support myself and the family). He also told me that there was no way to make any money in this recession and his business is not making any profit at all. He also told me that I make him feel really lousy when I try to save cost on curtains, evening gowns, pillows, etc.

I really dunno what to do. For my thinking, if you are poor then try to cut down on your spending. Now, I cannot cut down on his spending because I will make him feel bad, I cannot go on spending because we have a money problem, cannot blamed him on almost everything because it will make him feel really bad...I really dunno what to do.

Today's ranting

I was trying to sew my own curtains but I dun have enough time to complete it. My hubby said to me:"Throw away your curtain, I am going to buy new ones."

My hubby told me that my father in-law said that, since the bride side angbow money goes to the brides parents, then the groom side angbow money will goes the groom parents. This means that the bride and groom will not receive any angbow money at all. I really hope that my hubby has mistaken what my father in-law has said. I really cannot believe this type of things is happening to me. However, the wedding has to go on even we will not to getting any money to recover back. I dun dare to tell this to my parents yet.

My mother in-law came to my house and bring some flower water from god, ask us to bathe in this water before we get married. I told my hubby to throw them away, he just agreed.

My mother in-law said that all my hubby aunties will go to my house one day before my wedding to do something to out bed. Dunno throw what peanuts, what flowers. I am hoping that I will get too busy on Friday so that I dun have to attend this stuffs. My hubby screamed at her own mother to cut those craps out, but she still wants to come. (My mother in-law is so used to my hubby screaming at her.)

I have not seen my final version of my evening gown yet. For those who are going to sign up with my evening gown designer, good luck to them. Enjoy the heart attack you are going to get.

Ok, that is enough ranting for today.

Stuffs for the receptions & my sisters

I am now preparing the things I need to give to my receptions and sister to carry for me.

For receptions:
Guest book
pens for guest book
table arrangement diagram
guestlist
a packet of angbow instead some blur people forgot to bring
normal pen for writing names on ang bows

For sisters:
handphone
housekeys
tissue
angbows

What else did I forget? please contribute.

Ang Bow Box


This is a nice ang bow box I found in the internet a long time ago. I kept this picture because I was thinking to make something like this for my wedding. However, I have decided not to use an ang bow box anymore because my reception is outside the restaurant and somebody can just take the box and run down the escalator beside it.

Pictures from my Gou Da Li

These were some of my pictures from my Gou Da Li. It is a small event, usually it falls one or two weeks before the wedding. The groom will bring stuffs, usually food to the bride house, the bride parents will keep some and return some to the groom house. My hubby brought 2 hard liquid in exchange for two bottle of orange juice. He also brought oranges, sweets, red dates, cakes, cakes vouchers for friends, pig leg can food, gold for the bride and pin jin for the bride's parents. The pin jin is a sum of money which my parents will return some to the groom. All these food stuffs will have a double "xi" chinese character sticker on them.


We were suppose to place all the gifts from the Groom side in front of our ancestor altar and report to him when is our wedding dates.

The sweet stuffs were wrapped with red paper with the double "xi" chinese character place on it.

These are some of the stuffs my mum has accepted during my Gou Da Li.

Nice Napkin Setting


This is a nice table setting that I will love to have, but I think it is a bit too late for me. They folded the napkins in such a way that it look like a big designer sofa for the bear. The bear can be a nice wedding favour.

Stuffs to bring to hotel/restaurants

I have more or less done up a list of things to bring for my hotel stay so that I will not forget to bring something. You may want to download it from the link on your top right hand corner, or you may want to download it here

My mum nagged at me whole day today.

After nagging for the whole morning and half of the afternoon, I manage to drag myself and my mum out to Orchard to get my things. I have brought the quilt cover, bed sheets and comforter at last.

I have make my hubby pick us up at Taka and drove us to Ang Mo Kio where we get our bedside table lamp. I will try to post the pictures of these stuffs when I remember, I hope I remember.

My mum nagged at me again because I have just brought one set of bedsheet instead of two. I told her that the second one will come later. I am so tired today.

My hubby nagged at me too. He complained that I got too much things. I think the reasons why he complained is because I have made him transported some of my stuffs over to our new house. He was complaining and complaining non-stop until I have decided that I will move my things myself. Sometimes, it is always easiler to do things yourself than to wait for somebody to do it for you. My hubby always complained that he get a headache when he moves my stuffs and my mum always nagged at me when I do not move my stuffs. I am caught in-between.
