un named post

We made a wish at the lovers' bridge in Paris. Ponte de arts. Our wish came true... but...
unfortunately we don't always get exactly what we wish for. It was a traumatizing week for me. I really cannot talk to anyone or share about what i'm going through. Just sinking back down into depression... Thank god I have a wonderful husband, mummy, parents in law, sister and a really good boss and colleagues who have been looking out for me... very patiently. Thank you god for looking after me...

post wedding reflections

Reflections:

It's been about... 2 weeks since I've become Mrs Pen.

After months of hard work. We can happily cheer and says 'YAY'

We were really really happy and we had so much fun. The video and photos

are beautiful. Friends being awesome.


Just 2 days ago.
We had a huge fight. Marriage isnt gonna be easy but WE believe we compliment each other in many ways. Forgive & forget. Learn to cherish every moments.

In a week or so, we gonna fly over to 3 beautiful and gorgeous place for our HONEYMOON. Super duper excitments.

:) till then. ciaos

过大礼 (Betrothal)

Betrothal also known as "Guo Da Li" is one of the important event in the Chinese Wedding, in fact without this, the custom is considered invalid. This gesture has a meaning to prove the sincerity towards the marriage between the binding of two families and the promises of taking care of the bride. The groom will prepare the betrothal gifts based on the dialacts and requirements of both the family.

Gonna give up this shit soon yay!

All things lovely

beautiful story...

Early sunday morning, travel down to bedok spatique to have my waxing done by PeiJun and signed another 2 times waxing with them. PJ is really good!
Then Had my nails done @ colour contour amk.
did classic mani n pedi plus a foot mask + simple nail art for my photoshoot

Thanks to Cheryl who did my nails with care :)

Before Make Over - My clean face!
the night before i used SKII mask, toner, biotherm moisturizer
woke up @ 8 am to cleanse my face with biotherm cleanser, toner, moisturizer, eye gel, skII essence

after make over. notice my left eye is smaller? shrugs...
lazy eye no choice...

just a sneak peek...

Exhaustion!
bridal indoor shoot with fables day 1 completed @19 Sep
overall rating of myself, young and the bridal is 7/10
We mainained good chemistry with my photographer. Although he looks like some guy who's high on alcohol and nicotine but overall we communicated our ideas and i got what i want. didnt like 2 of my dresses and hair do :( bumps... but still have so many shoots to take... gonna work hard next week for my local shoot, 1 indoor shoot and outdoor shoot.... :)

Many peeps have been discussing about the jb bridal shops vs spore bridal shops. O well... I guessed both have their own pros and cons. One thing for sure, you have to do serious research on the bridal shops that your gonna select and ask for the portfolio of the photographer and MUA. i believe that bridal shops in msia has limited designs on gowns for photo shoot so your bound to bump into peeps wearng the same thing as yours for sure. Similarly for SG....
I cant tell if my shoot will turn out great but i'll cross my fingers, keep the smile and love my hubby to nuts :] here comes the sun... i see my bright bright future

bonding time with my bridesmaid

finally watched my bridesmaid movie with my dearest BFF...

The show is entirely on
how fcuked up yr BFF can be and probably ruined your wedding
with her emotional wrecks. & she will eat YOUR COOKIE hahaha...
really like the humour part on how they tried to save $$ on yoga classes.

:D enjoyed my date with my sherry baby~

TADA the crazy babe that i <3
XOXO

Confession of a bride to be

oh god life just seems to speed up speed up like 100000 times

i'm kinda detached from this virtual world after graduation.

Life's been... real, or a real bitch.



encountering every part and parcels of life

from death of my loved ones, friends getting married, baby showers,

attending funnerals... ETC.

Do you ever feel like your life is surreal? its like living in a dream

that is on a auto-pilot mode. And i'll just get intimidated by my own life

all the time.



It's been more than a year since Dad passed in May 2010... and baby proposed to me in the month of October last year. So anyway i came back to writting this journal in keeping notes

and memories of our beautiful marriage.



And now as a bride-to-be... my emotions often gets high and

low at the most extremes.



Getting married is tough job man. The whole plan. It's hitting me that we are gonna

get married soon and we havent done much.

but still despite all the difficult times, I am a really excited BTB who is gonna settle down

with the one. The one that has been sticking through the BAD times. the one who've seen it all.

Yeap...





Counting down... 6 months to the AD
