We are back from Taiwan!

Wow!! It's already the beginning of May! And so much has already happened. Where should I start at? Hmm..

Well, part one of our wedding happened on 23 April 2011. Seng and I are legally married on that day at St Hilda's Secondary School. We had our solemnisation ceremony back in our secondary school. It was significant to us as this was the place we first met. The ROM was fun I would say. I think I will let the photos speak for themselves. Click here to see photos taken by a good friend of mine, Zhiyong. He's a photographer by trade and I want to thank him for taking time out to attend my ROM and also take photos for us. He's not our official photographer though. A shoutout to Zhiyong!!

And below are some photos taken by another good friend of ours Dun Xiang. These are some photos taken off from FB. To see all photos, click here.






 




I'm waiting for the photos from our photographer, which I think will be awesome too. Overall, super duper happy that everything went smoothly. Appreciate Seng for taking up alot of the ROM planning as well our Taiwan trip planning as he knew that I was extremely busy and stressed out by work.

The next day, we flew over to Taiwan for our bridal shoot cum family potrait cum holiday. But I will keep that for another day once I have the photos sorted out. Haha!!

Excluding the month of August, as it is the lunar 7th month, which we are not allowed to do anything for the wedding, it is about another 3 months to my actual day. It's going to be crazy busy from now. Not just for the wedding but also for other things, one of which is me trying to get out of my current company. But that's for my personal blog to tell.

Anyways, I will sort out the photos for the Taiwan trip and update the bridal shoot.

Meantime, take care everyone. Stay happy and healthy everyone!

53 days to go...

Oh my goodness!!!!

It is already the end of Febuary, and Chinese New Year has ended a good 2 weeks ago! In fact, I'm writing this on the last day of February. Wow, time passes so quickly. Oh yeah! Happy Belated New Year everyone!!

Great news!!! I have already booked my makeup artist. It was the same makeup artist that came up to my place on Saturday to do a makeup trial for me. Below are some of the pictures that was taken. My family was home that day and my parents liked her work, which was good. I showed the photos to Seng , my aunt, cousins and colleagues. There was a common comment. They all said I looked different. The power of makeup! Lol!!! Her name is Betty and she is from Taiwan, and she has lived in Singapore for aout 4 years now. She was introduced to me by a common friend, who is actually my polymate from Nanyang Poly. And he is a photographer, so they have worked together on set quite a number of times together.

This is the day look.

This is the evening look.

They look the same, only the eyeshadow is different. However, keep in mind that this is a trial makeup. But I'm looking at her skills and the hair was done in a simple style. She will stye it accordingly when she sees my outfit, which by the way, it still not yet made. But it has already started. I've already visited the tailor and I have sorted out my design and fabric with my tailor. The first fitting will be on 2 or 3 April. I hope it turns out the way I think it would be.

Seng and I have also signed up for a marriage preparation course. I figured that it would be good to attend one and learn things about marriage and such. Of course it was not complusory for us to attend, but I felt that it would benefit both of us. So yeah! Our course actually starts this coming Saturday with 3 other couples. That's the first round, and then we will attend our own individual sessions. Exciting huh? But there is an evaluation that both Seng and I have to do.

What else? Oh yes!! Seng and I popped by to his tailor to get his suit started. It was fun choosing fabrics and matching colours for his suit. It was too bad that he was not able to attend my first meeting with my tailor. But yeah, he made a coat, pair of pants, a vest and 2 shirts. And his coat is a manderin collar coat. I think it's going to be really cool when he puts it on for the actual day. =P

One other thing, we went down to HDB yesterday to sign the lease of agreement and put a portion of our down payment for our new home. Loads of papers to sign, and by the end of it, we were smiling when we left the officer's desk. It only hit us a few hours later that we actually paid a pretty huge sum for our home. LOL!! We met a fellow primary schoolmate there, who was also doing the same as us. She is going to be our neighbour! How exciting is that?!?! Haha!!! But yeah, we are just excited about everything.

Our ROM location.. Hmm.. There has been news that that GE is coming up, and we are going to be holding out ROM in our secondary school, so at this moment, we are confirming with the school on whether it is going to be a poll station or not. It's nerve wrecking and we are praying so hard that it would not be, and it if is, that GE day will not fall anywhere in April. I will start killing people if that happens. -_-

I think that's about it for now. Well, that is as much as I can remember for now. Lol!! March will start tomorrow, and it's going to be a  crazy, busy, and expensive month. But it's going to be exciting as well. We are counting down..

Stay happy and healthy everyone!
