One thing down… Wohoo..The hotel was having the bridal show on that day and we manage to take some pictures of their bridal suite. They had just renovated their bridal suite… Here comes the picture. Picture means more than words..:)

SKIN CARE REGIME

With all the stress and the late nights preparing tests, exams, wedding and etc, my dark circles seem getting darker and darker. Oh gosh, I can see some lines too... Oh no this is worrying. I need to get rid of the eye circles/lines fast... Who wants to be a bride with the dark circles around the eyes? Of course, skin care is very important for me now.. All brides want to be in their tip top condition for their day… I must start maintaining now…

Had bought the below items from faceshop yesterday.

Flebeaute Collagenic Eye Contour Serum from Face Shop

Based on my second day of usage: It’s not oily and the serum will seep through the eye area easily. Lines are less defined (the eye area seem not too dry now after apply face powder) now but still the dark circles are there. Most probably will monitor the results…Will update after 2 weeks.

Hopefully its work

More information could be found here: http://thefaceshopen.com/

Flebeaute White Crystal Pure Vita Program Face shop

Aims: To lighten the pigmentation or spots.

Pure Vitamic C Kit

The sales person even told us that it could be apply around the eye areas and lighten the dark circles. The kit last for 1 month and she claim that the spots/ pigmentation will be lighter than before. She assured us that it will be effective. There are a total of 4 ampoule. 2 tubes of 3% vitamin C ampoule and 2 tubes of 5% vitamin C ampoule. She mentioned that we need to apply the 3% first as our skin need to adapt to this concentration before proceeding to the 5%.

Tips: Continuous usage of the kit for 1 month and you will see the effect.
Store the ampoluse in the box to prevent direct contact with sunlight. Based on my second day of usage: Can’t really see much effect now but the face feel more moisturize after applying the ampoule. Will update after 2 weeks

THE SELECTED ROM DRESS

As promise, I had uploaded the pictures of my selected dress for my ROM. I had asked Sally if I could take pictures of the gown that I had tried. However she do not allow probably due to some reasons which are quite obvious. Sally was very nice to allow me to take pictures of the dress that I had chosen for my ROM. Below are the pictures of the dress that I had chosen.

Back View

Although it is a simple dress, i really love the design (pattern) at the bottom of the dress. Erm i do not know how to describe that in designer term.Sally mentioned that with the right accessories, earrings, make up and hairdo, I will look beautiful on my ROM day. I had not chosen the accessories and earring yet and we will make a trip down on the 18th May to select when the time is nearer to our ROM day. Really looking forward to that day. :)

Another New Song!!!

Finally found this song that I always wanted.....first heard this from the movie, Runaway Bride. Yes, that's how long I have planned on my future wedding songs then.

Well, here's I Love You by Martina McBride.

Enjoy!! :)

Yeah

The sun is shining everyday

The clouds never get in the way for you and me

I've known you just a week or two

But baby I'm so into you

I can hardly breathe

And I'm in love so totally

Wrapped up emotionally

Attracted so physically

Acting so recklessly

I need you so desperately

Sure as the sky is blue

Baby I love you

I love you

I never knew that I could feel like this

Can hardly wait till our next kiss

Your so cool

If I'm dreaming please don't wake me up

'Cause baby I can't get enough of what you do

And I'm in love so electrically

Charged up kinetically

Acting erractically

Need you fanatically

You get to me magically

Sure as the sky is blue

Baby I love you

I can't believe

That this is real

The way I feel

Baby I gone head over heels

And I'm in love so totally

Wrapped up emotionally

Attracted so physically

Acting so recklessly

I need you so desperately

Sure as the sky is blue

Yeah

And I'm in so electrically

Charged up kinetically

Acting erractically

Need you fanatically

You get to me magically

Sure as the sky is blue

Baby I love you

Baby I love you

Do you love me too

Baby I love you

Tips for Choosing the Wedding Banquet

Prepare your Guest List so that you had a rough guide on the numbers of tables that you are going to invite.

Know your Budget

Know your Prioritization in choosing the wedding banquet.
Examples: Location, Food, Ambience, Hotel or Restaurant, Price, Themes, etc….

Shortlist a few hotels/restaurants that both you and your hubby likes.

Email or call them for the quotations.

Make an appointment with the coordinators in charge and go for site visit. This is to have a visual on the ballroom and the places there.

Discuss the thoughts with your partner on which is the best restaurant /hotels that suit both of you.

Although wedding is a once a life time event, spend within your means as you do not want to feel stress on the payments right? Wedding is supposed to be a happy event. For us, the most important thing is to have a cosy , simple and yet an unforgettable wedding. Cheers... :)

WEDDING BANQUETS

We had finally finalized on our actual customary date. 23rd May 2010. It falls on a Sunday. Our next mission is to source for the wedding banquet. We must admit that it is not an easy job as you need to select a list of your favorite’s hotels/restaurant, get quotations from them and finally go for the site visit. Tiring…Tiring… tiring….Frog and I had shortlisted a few hotels and comparing through the packages of the individual hotels (inclusive of site visit), we had finally decide which hotel to hold our wedding.

Shortlisted Hotels

Hotel Rendezvous
Meritus Mandarin
Holiday Inn Park View
Grand Mercure Hotel

The Chosen Hotel: Holiday Inn Park View
Pros: Better Perks, Central Location, Cosy Feel
Cons: Not as high ceiling as hotel rendezvous and the march in is not that long for orchid ballroom.
Co ordinator: Krystal

As we are inviting less than 25 tables, we are not able to use the crystal ballroom (min 25 tables) in HIPV. The crystal ballroom is even nicer, spacious than the orchid ballroom. It even has very nice chandeliers. Orchid ballroom is cosy and nice too and the only con is that the ceiling is not as high as the other ballrooms that we had visited. However, we cant possible have the best of both worlds as we had less than 20 tables only. Thus we opt for the hotel with the better perks and good deals… I and frog are both relived and happy that we had finally decided on the location for our wedding banquet. Phew…..

I can now finally concentrate on my design project and upcoming tests and exams. Jia You…Jia You….

Below are some pictures of Holiday Inn Park View (outside Crystal Ballroom). Will take more pictures outside the orchid ballroom when we go to sign the contract next week. Stay tune.

As usual, any one interested in the quotation of the wedding banquets can leave your email in C box.
