Our Rings

It's so COLOURFUL!!

I am wearing a pink, I have a new toy - piglet, was a gift from Ben last weekend. Our ROM theme - pink, lilac, purple...The main thing is still, my HAIR! I went for colouring today and the lady was so nice to do my hair from 830pm to 11pm.it looks like I've done the rebonding, too bad is late now, if not I will wanna walk around with this look, so pretty!! Total damage : SGD97, cheap as this is just a neighbourhood salon, did I mention Ben's hairstylist is Desmond from Le Salon. He charges SGD99 for guy haircut.*jaw drop*

I hope Felicia, my ROM make up artist will turn me to a pretty bride on Good Friday. Can't wait to collect my Ring Pillow tomorrow, is purple in colour. Chloe will meet me at Outram Mrt at 1800hours. After that, we'll be heading down to Orchard Delfi Fairy's Inc to collect our customised wedding bands, which engraved with elvish font. The first sentence is engraved on my band while the second sentence is engraved on his.

marriage, when two becomes one"

Solemnization preparation - location + Catering + Deco

Finally, we've decided to get Four seasons Catering Pte Ltd to cater the food for our guests on solemnization. The menu are
(A) Noodle / Rice - Kampung Fried Mee Siam
(B) Chicken - Four season Chicken
(C) Fish - Sweet & sour Fish Fillet
(D) Beancurd - Mixed Shrimp Beancurd
(E) Vegetable - Oyster Siao Bai Chye with Mushroom
(F) Deep Fried- Dynasty Chicken
(G) Extra - Braised Sea Cucumber
(H) Dessert - Sea Coconut with Sliced lemons
(I) Savoury - Steamed Crystal Dumpling
(J) Prawn - Crispy Prawn with Butter Milk
(K) Drink - Fruit Punch

I've seen their presentation, quite nice. Food looks and sounds tasty and is not halal, don't know for what reasons, some always tend to think that caterers with halal sign don't cook well, well, as for me, there isn't any muslim around. To update : My guests are Very Happy with the food - highly recommended!

Our location will be at Monterey Park Condominium, thanks to my lovely cousin brother and cousin sister-in-law, they are so nice to help us to book the function room. This is their new condo, they used to stay at a condo at Balmoral Road, we feel so paiseh as they haven't even hold the house warming party yet!

My Valentines..

A very sweet guy booked a room in a hotel somewhere at Havelock Road on this day. Guess what, we had a wonderful dinner at Clarke Quay, strolling along the Singapore River, he popped the question while I was complaining of headache. "Do you still feel headache now?" at the same time showing me the ring which he bought a year ago. Of course my headache gone immediately! I remember very well that I was smiling and smiling and smiling, and he asked me," will you marry me?" that's it!! And I said ,"YES!"

I knew somehow he is going to propose to me, especially when he asked me if we wanna spend a night in a hotel. For the past 3 years, we didn't really celebrate V'day, of course this is the most memorable and the sweetest one.

I've got a ring!

Oh Dear, I am such a lazy bum, I should have post this on the day itself, but I was too busy to do so. Nd, Nd, Nd, I kinda hate Nd but then I earn more money if I have them. Opps, off track, about my love life, I've got a RING. Ya, is a proposal ring, he hasn't propose yet, so don't ask me what did he say or what did he do. Well, shall I enclose the details of the ring? Hahahaha, bet you wanna know. Is a 50 pointers solitaire diamond ring from LeeHwa. Yes I know somebody is going to say about the quality. Well, he didn't get me a super high end one or low quality, just based on what he can afford and the most mushy thing is - Because I worth it! Hahahaha, he said that, don't say I thick faced, okay? The ring is now in the factory for the setting, not the type I want but if I wanna have it changed, has to pay extra, I already very heartache for the price so I didn't do so. I love my baby!!!! Was so touch when he paid for it, YES I WAS THERE, why am I there? To prevent him from buying the wrong one. Did I choose the ring? No way! But he knows which one I want, so the end story is - I've got what I want, not only the ring, but the guy! Too bad, we fought a lot lately, I am being so unreasonable sometimes, phobia and the stupid low self esteem again. I promise I will behave like a woman, not a young lady.
