A sneak preview of my evening gown


This is a sneak preview of my evening gown. It is layered with a very soft piece of cloth inside. It is very comfortable when wearing and it does not show your tummy.

Yesterday, my brother in-law

sended me some of his excel files he used during his wedding. It was very detail and was very helpful. It also makes me nervous.

The list include the programme for the wedding day, guest list, things to do, things to pack, helpers list, vehicles arrangement, etc.

I think we are going to do a lot of things last minute. There are a lot of things that I cannot decided for myself and I need to discuss with my in-law and with my hubby. However I got a super busy hubby, I dunno how am I going to handle all those stuffs or will he care at all. I was thinking about it last night and was not able to fall asleep again.

Well, I think I just have to let things be, I just hope that when the last minutes arrive, my hubby will be more kan cheong than me. I am getting tired of being the one that remind him all the time.

By the way, our restaurant remind us two weeks ago that we got to fill in the invitation card form so that they can print our invitation card. Our co-ordinator actually gave us two weeks to do it. Till today, my hubby has not got his parent's chinese name yet. If our restaurant decided not to print our wedding cards, I will ask my hubby to fork out his own money and find his own printer. I am not going to care.

I can understand why my friend complained to me that she quarrel with her hubby almost everyday since they decided to get married. It is always the gals that do the homework and tried to complete each task on time. The guys will just sit there and laugh at us for being kan cheong. I am so sick of the guys.
Actually, I have some reserve on my evening gown being grey colour. I have been thinking if it will turn out nice and will people accepted my evening gown to be in grey colour. However, last night I got a dream. I saw myself wearing the grey colour evening gown to the exact design that I have told my designer. It was awesome. Today, I have more confidence. I think I want my evening gown to remain as grey.

I think for the evening gown, I am still blaming myself for overspending on it. However, I dun think I will change my designer mind on what I wanted. I am very bad and kept telling myself that my hubby will be the one paying for it, I felt so bad about it.

I have read that other people evening gown were costing them only $350. Comparing to mine which cost $2300, I think I really have overspend on my evening gown. I think I will changed into my evening gown almost immediately after the first dish. I wanted to display it as much as possible. I wanted to take as much pictures as possible making it worth.

I just sit down and talk to my mum on some of the details of my wedding. I also updated my to do list for each month. The thing that I have not come out with is the helper list, actual day events list, and the table sitting list. I think I will put a link here in this blog for people to download my list if they wanted to use them.

My hubby knew that I was sad...

I guess he knew what was wrong. He did not apology to me neither did he talk about it. He called me while I was trying to sleep and asked me to said that three words to him. I told him I wanted to sleep.

Today, everything was all right again. He called me after my dinner and tell me things about my cats and what he ate today. I was trying to watch the TV at the same time not to let him know that I was watching the TV. Soon, he sense that I seems to be busy with something.

I was kind of sad yesterday

because one of my cat urine at the main door. As I clean up the place before leaving, my hubby was watching me and asking me which one did it. After I have clean up the place and we were about to leave the house, my hubby wear his dirty shoe inside the house dirting the spot where I just clean up. I almost scream at him and you know what he said? He said well the floor is wet that is why his shoes make the dirty marks on the floor!

The reasons he gave me seem like it is not his fault that he dirty the floor. It is the fault of the floor being wet. He do not make any effort in keeping the house clean. The reason he always gave is that he was always too busy or tired from work. It seems that it is my duty to do all the cleaning in the house.

I kept quiet on my way back. I dun feel like getting married to this person anymore. It is funny why I feel like cooking for him in the evening and suddenly I dun feel like talking to him at night. I knew he can feel that I am angry and was feeling sad, but he do nothing.

I cannot sleep at night. I being to fear for the days staying with him. I will be his full time free maid and he will bear no respect for me.

I hope I am thinking too much.

Something funny

Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
And here's the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking
And it's creepy and it's late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.
Yes I'll marry you, my dear,
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes
It's you that has to mend it,
You have to face the neighbour
Should our labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me
It's you that has to whack him.
Yes, I'll marry you,
You're virile and you're lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner
Which you served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas,
You can cook it every night!
It's you who has to work the drill
and put up curtain track,
And when I've got PMT
it's you who gets the flak,
I do see great advantages,
But none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!

I can almost see my hubby laughing and clapping when I read this. I could hear him singing:
Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
And here's the reason why;
You will be the one bearing my kids
and they will carry my surname.
You're virile and you're lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
My clothes need washing and ironing,
You will be the one doing it for free.
I do see great advantages,
But none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!

Well, I will be singing to him:
You will go out and work,
to earn the money for me to spend.
Muahahahahaha!

I have signed up with Tan Yoong

and left his shop feeling a hole burned in my pocket. He charged me $1880 for an evening gown and with the design I wanted, the gown will be $2300. It is more expensive than the prices he first give me when I first visited him. I have no choice because I have already make the decision to sign up with him. My hubby called me after I left the shop. I told him that I have exceed our budget and quickly told him I will pay the excess. I am heart broken with the money.

Well, I got my nice gown...

Actually I got a good deal for my wedding gown. Usually, bridal shops will charge a make-to-measure price for a piece of off-the-rack gown if nobody except a model wear that before. However, I think since the gown I have selected is left on the shelves for almost one and a half year, Shirey charged me only $700.

Come to think of it, I will have to try to sell my evening gown at $1300 if I want to keep my budget. I dunno if ebay is a better place to get a better price a not. I have to check if gowns in US were more expensive than those in Singapore.

Throw away serious stuffs and think about something

Women are like apples on trees: the best ones are at the top of the tree.

Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.......

So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing.

They just have to wait for the right man to come along - the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Share this with others who are good apples - even those who have already been picked!

And remember... Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with!

We can do no great things, Only small things with great Love.

I have reread all my blogs here except

the jokes blogs and I have come to a conclusion. My hubby is a bad temper man. Now I am worried how am I going to live through it. Maybe after the wedding, I might have to start another blog. I have the intention to start a baby blog that everybody I only will read them. I think I need another blog like this one where nobody I know will read them.

Hmmmm... what shall I call it? Or shall I just write them in my daily craps blog?

I have brought my mum to spotlight today

because I wanted her to see the type of sleep wear I wanted. I dunno where the tradition comes from but I need to wear a new sleep wear during the make up session during the actual day. This sleep wear will have to be from my mum to me as a gift. I remember the ugly sleep wear my sis used to wear in her wedding. This time I wanted to let my mum know exactly what I wanted.

I wanted a satin sleep wear with cats print on it. It must be a 2 piece wear too. My mum thinks that I am crazy. I wanted her to sew it for me as a gift but she wanted to just buy it for me. I brought her to spotlight in Tampines today and found the exact print that I want. I was screaming with joy. However my mum still insist that she do not want to sew, she wants to buy one for me. She also said that the fabric in spotlight is too expensive to even consider about it. I was so sad.

My mum told me that Bugis might have what I want. I ofter that I will buy the material and she do the sewing. She is still not interested. I guess I will have to just accept any sleep wear she give to me and dump it into the store room after that (I dun use sleep wear). I do not wish to fight with her over a sleep wear.

Come to think of it, maybe I can just buy the material and get somebody to sew for me outside.

I have signed up with Poppy.

I manage to find Linda and asked her if flowers need to be sign up. She looked at me as if I am from outer space and said :"Yes of course". So I signed up with her immediately. I think she still have some lunch in her mouth when I disturb her at lunch time. She is so near to me, it makes me feel very funny to make an appointment with her.

I have also make an appointment with Tan Yoong and I will be visiting him next Tuesday to sign up with him. After that, I think most important taskes are settled.

I have put up a little picture above my blog which I find it very cute and gives me creepys too. I did not realise that I have only 3 months, 2 weeks and 1 day to my wedding day. I got a lots of things I need to do.

I have signed up with...

Chris Ling! for AD photography. I am engaging John Lim actually, Chris Ling do not do AD. I have also signed up with Flamingo for her OTR gown and make-up. Flamingo actually charged $700 for the OTR gown and she said that it is actually a first hand gown and nobody has wear that before except a model for photo shooting.

I need to make an appointment with Tan Yoong now and sign up with him for the EG. I was wondering at the same time if poppy need me to book them first a not. Everytime I go down to their shop, it seems that Linda is too busy.

I went to see Tan Yoong today.

Remember two beautiful pictures I posted a long time ago? I went to see the designer today. He let me try on three of the gowns and I fell in love with one. The problem is that it is so expensive.

That gown I tried on, if Tan Yoong will to MTM into my evening gown, it will cost me $2000. When I told William that, he got a shock of his life. I did not tell my mum the price but she said if it is expensive, then look for another one lor!

Maybe I can sell my Tan Yoong Evening gown for $1000 and forget about the Photo shooting for $1200. Then I will still be within my budget.

I feel so guilty that I did not post for a long time.

Quite a few things happened. Have I written that I booked my restaurant? I think I have.

I have visited Flamingo, found a nice gown and verbally confirm that Shirey will be making my WG & EG. She quoted me $1000 for the rental of the WG and $800 for making a new EG.

I have also went to Chris Ling with my friends, Kelvin introduce John Lim AD package to me. It is a 30 pages album in forgotten what size, with all the collages and all photos return. The price is $1980.

Then I saw their promotion on the website, $1200 for photo shooting by Chris Ling and Kelvin. I dun know what do they mean by Kelvin and Chris Ling, both of them do the shooting or a typo error?

Anyway, I think I will go down to their studio again maybe on Friday.

I will be going down to Tan Yoong tomorrow and check out some OTR gowns or EG, and their prices too.

Oh, I have visited Poppy, first visit, Linda assistance quote me $250 for the deco of the wedding car. Second visit, Linda quote me min $350. I think I will use them for the deco of the wedding car.

I think I will DIY my own hand flowers.

Make up Artist: I still dunno should I let Shirey do the make up a not. If I will to engage one, it will mean that the MUA will have to do my photoshooting if I have one, day and night during the AD, and a trial. I think it is going to be expensive.

Another question will be, if I found my EG in Tan Yoong or I let him do, can I just ask Shirey to do my make up and rent a WG from her? I dunno if she agrees a not.
