18 January 2011

I woke up at 6am. After showering, my parents also woke up.

My dad went to buy breakfast.

I waited for the rest to arrive, and my breakfast. :P

Jacqueline arrived first. Next is the photographer. Lilian came next.

We started setting the hair. Janice came after washing her car. haha...

As it was Tuesday, everyone was running a little late because of the traffic.

Celin was next. Joan came and started my make-up.

Then Carmen, Jinu, Erica, Clarice, XH and Yan also arrived.

I am really very lucky to have everyone helping me.

By the time I was done, it was almost time.

I took pictures with my sisters and Lilian and Joan left.

Then I went into my parents' room and they put the veil for me.

I was getting nervous. Jinu and XH was in the room with me. I think they were trying to keep me occupied.

The guys were late. Luckily the timing to leave was not given, so we set our own.

I told them to carry on, as there was no timing to follow... haha...

The feeling was indescribable.

When they finally arrived, it was funny.

My sisters were very nice to B and his brothers.

One thing which we did not do enough, was to take more photos.

After gate crashing, we prayed and left for the Hotel.

When we reached the Hotel lobby, we managed to take a few more photos.

After tea ceremony, I changed into the cheongsum.

And we headed back to my place.

Many relatives came.

We still managed to finish on time.

B drove, and we sent XL back to Chinatown.

We returned to the Hotel and rested for half an hour. My poor B was barely awake.

We went to Noble House. The sound guys and projector guys were already setting things up at 5pm. Then I started on my make-up and hair again.

B and XL were running crazy outside.

Many relatives and friends were early.

Good time flies super fast. It was time to get ready.

The reason that I was not receiving guests because it will be a surprise for guests when I do my march-in. Of course, this way I did not get to take many photos with my guests.

During the first march-in, I was concentrating on not falling onto my face. The feeling was irreplaceable. It was magical. B carefully holding on to me as well. I did not realize it was B's song playing.

As we were running late again, I rushed in to change.

Joan did something special for me, and it was beautiful.

At the second march-in, the music was louder. haha...

Again, it was magical.

After toasting, we said our thank-you speech. And he sang abit. haha...

Then we continued with the photo taking session. It was a rush, luckily we had kuku klanz to help us. Experienced. haha...

Soon, it was all over.

When we got back to Chinatown, and ate with XL and Yan, I forced them to listen to me because I forgot to mention it earlier..

Thank you B for loving me (and my rubbish inclusive).

Thank you everyone for making it memorable.

Today is the eve, and tomorrow is the day.

In the morning, I went to Raffles Place for my manicure and pedicure session.

Apparently my appointment was booked with the other outlet, they were very nice to go ahead with my appointment. I did French manicure with a thin line of glitter, and for my feet, I went for natural color as I do not want the color to show when I work.

Then we went to check in at our hotel, bringing things there.

And the car was sent to the Hotel as well.

I had to meet my sisters and B had to send me there as I can't get a cab.

B is so sweet.

After meeting the sisters, I went back home.

However, B's side is still not done.

His grandma and uncle came from JB, and they only know the way to MBS, so B or XL had to go pick them to Chinatown. Then check them into their hotel, and they were not very happy.

We do not have a proper place for them to stay, that's why we booked a hotel for them.

B's other grandma said wanna visit him at the hotel, so he had to be at the hotel.

Then need to send the car to the florist. After tying the flowers, the car boot cannot be closed. B thought it was the florist's fault, so sent the car back to the florist. The problem could not be solved. It was the locking device of the car. Luckily the car could still be locked, with the boot unlocked.

After rushing everywhere, B did not sleep much.

Sometimes it's not that we do not care about their feelings, but did they think about the bigger picture? We already have so many things to worry about, if doing something is good for everyone, and you just need to spend a little money, why not?

Maybe it is my dad's style, and I am also like that.

16 January 2011

We had a briefing session for the helpers regarding the printing job.

And Joan came down to have a look at my gowns, and did a trial make-up for me.

She is really very very good.

I think B wants to organize make-up lessons for Joan to teach. I can't wait...

15 January 2011

I totally forgot about the ang pow box till today.

So I asked Janice for help, she agreed to help me make one and also pass her unused guest book to me. Phew.. Another thing settled.

I went to order the flowers, and the lady was commenting," You are getting married on Tuesday and you only order your flowers now?" .

I was quite embarrassed. But still have to order right?

We managed to get printers and laptops and was testing out the printing.

We wanted to do live projection and instant photocard printing.

We also managed to get extra help from Ray's friends, they will be doing the printing on Tuesday.

Getting excited.. But do not want it to be over... haha...

14 January 2011

I am finally back, and needed to finish off as many things as possible.

While I was away, B did most of the stuff. I am really grateful.

He settled the rental of the car, thanks to Mike's help.

B sent out a few more invitation cards as some of our friends had not received the invitation. It was really embarassing...

We went to check out the flowers earlier, but did not place order then.

When we wanted to go place order, the florist was not open yet. So we skipped to the next task on the to-do list.

I visited Lilian and she trimmed moi hair, I also showed her some pictures.

Then we rushed to Bedok for IPL session.

After that, we went for Riley's first birthday party at Changni.

B had to go for his Bachelor night again, haha... this time is with his brother and friends.

And so I went home to rest.

The feeling of rushing was fun and kan cheong at the same time.

12 January 2011

Lilian asked if I am going down for a haircut. B and Joan said I should.

I am not sure if I am going to cut much, if you know what I mean.

I have had long hair since dunno when, although I hate my hair, I just could not bear to cut it too much.

Joan said I should do something which makes me younger.

Should I cut?

I really do not know..

Time is running out...

09 January 2011

It's our first anniversary, and I'm stuck in Houston.

Did not want to take the job initially, but the deal with the other girl fell apart.

So here I am, 9 days before the Big Day and I am so far away.

Till now, things are more or less settled, i think.

I think I am starting to feel a little stress...

So little time when I get back.. Seating arrangement is not done yet.

Everyone told me that that is the toughest job.

The car is settled. Need to get the flowers.

Luckily B's brother booked a very nice hotel for us.

I am worried about so many things, the gate crash, the xiongdi, the make-up and hair, the dinner attendance...

I want to go home as soon as possible..

Feel so helpless here..

Can't wait to go home.

We are thankful for all the help offered by our friends and family.

We are really blessed. It makes us feel more at ease.
