Shopping for Cakes

Went shopping for traditional wedding cakes for my Guo Da Li. Guo Da Li - "过大礼" is offering dowry and gifts to the girl's parents by the guy and his family. The girl side also will need prepare gift in return (as jia chuang - "送嫁妆").

We went down to "Le Cafe" at Middle Road to make enquiries as we loved the golf-ball size pineapple tarts from them. They have 2 types of cakes - Marble Round Cake and the Butter Cream Cake.

In the end, we chose the marble round cake as it will be more acceptable by most people. Butter cream are more unhealthy and make people feel greasy after consuming the cake. So considerate right? We placed an order for 12 wedding cakes.

Initially, the boss was not able to take our order as she will be busy making pineapple tarts for CNY. But I am really glad she agree to take our order regardless. The boss is even sweet enough to give us two soya tart. Really yummy.It is definitely nicer than the normal egg tart and much more healthier.

Here is the address for "LE CAFE CONFECTIONERY & PASTRY" - 264 Middle Road Singapore 188990 Tel/Fax: +65 6337 2417. For orders for pineapple tarts for CNY, please place your order early, else all will be gone before you know. Give the soya tart a try, you wont regret it.

Wedding Card Selection

Went for our wedding card selection last friday at T-Dragon. There were so many couples waiting to select their wedding cards or collect their ready-printed cards. As the small shop is already with people, we were told to go for dinner first before going back to do our selection.

When we go back at 7.30pm, there are still a few couples left. We went to the whole file of wedding card designs and shortlisted the 3 designs below.

Seems like we like our wedding card to be in red color. Nowadays most people will not choose red cards as they find it "oh biang". But my bf prefer red cos he feels it is more unique. Haha.. Think we will be sending out our "bomb" in red..

The assistant at T-Dragon are very helpful and their prices are quite affordable. I only paid 10 bucks for the cards to add cute icon on the card. The card and printing are paid by my banquet hotel. They have alot of designs for cards, so anyone who wanna print cards for any occasion can drop by T-Dragon at Excelsior Shopping Centre, #03-13.

A little update

Realise I haven been updating my blog for quite some time.. Hmm.. Guess nothing special I can write about.. My life is about eat, work and sleep...

For this week, I have finally accompolish one task... I have finally took my indoor pictures... Haha.. Know what.. It is even more tiring than the phuket outdoor phootshoot... Throughout the 4 hours (including all the make-up and hair-do), we took a whopping of 200 photos in 4 different sets of clothes.

In total (including the outdoor phootshoot), we have almost 800 photos... No idea how am I going to select the photos.. sighz.... hopefully it will turn out well ...

And one very important thing i should start doing is to slim down.. Face is round... Arm is flabby... Tummy is protuding... If someone has any good suggestion... Feel free to leave a comment... Your help will be very much appreciated...

Thailand - Phuket (Day 4)

The most important itinerary of the trip is on the 4th day of our Phuket trip. The reason is because I am taking my outdoor photoshoot. Really excited and nervous. Wonder how would the photo turn out. Oh yes... Think I forget to mention that my bridal package is with x-zen.

There are 2 photographers, 1 makeup artist, 1 videographer on this trip. Also with us is another couple taking the outdoor photoshoot with us. We have to wake up at 6.30 am for the make-up and hair-do. Suddenly it began to rain really heavily. Shit, how are we going for phootshoot if it continue to rain. Luckily by the time we are done the rain has also stopped. It was already 8.00 am. With my heavily make-up face, i went have at breakfast at the resort restaurant. Can you imagine how pairs of eyes are staring at me. Oh my gosh, i wish i can dig a hole and hide inside. Haha..,,

After the breakfast, i change into my wedding gown. It was another round of embarrassment. With my make-up and gown, i have to walk all the way out through the pool and lobby to board the van. Was so glad I am in a foreign country where no one would recognise me..

Our photoshoot is a fun and challenging. Fun because one of the photographer - Edwin is a very humorous guy. Make us laugh thus making the photoshoot a very enjoyable one. The other photographer is just as nice. He is call Ah Heng (ang moh - Lucky Lucky).. Both of them are very professional throughout. Alot of candid shoots are taken as well. Challenging is because we gotta climb up waterfall, climb up rocks, get into the waterfall and change clothes in the van.. But of cos, they have recce the place before and ensure it is safe for us..

On the whole, it was a very nice experience. But my shoes are so dirty because of the mud (due to the heavy rain in the morning) and it cannot be wash off and the buckle broke. Sighz. Maybe time to search for another pair of shoes.

Pray hard the photos will turn out fine.

Wedding Venue - Grand Plaza Park

Here is a sneak preview of my Actual Day venue.

This is the sample solemnisation setup. Pretty simple. Well, since it is a less than 30 min affair. I guess it need not be very grand.
Took some photos of the table setup as well. Black table cloth with red ribbon look cool right? But i guess it is for the less "pan-tang" people. Gold cloth with red ribbon is nice as well. A color combination which is more acceptable by most people.

This is some samples of the stage decoration. The first one is the "Crystal" theme and the second one is the "Garden" theme. Henry told us that there will be more new themes. Too early for me to decide the theme now. I wait and see if there are more choices.

Some wedding favours provided by the hotel. Very cute right? There will also be new favours later of the year.

My new shoes

Just a little mini-update.. FINALLY, i managed to find a pair of heels for my photo-shoot @ Phuket. The bridal studio has told me to get a cheap cheap silver heels for the phoot-shoot. Been searching high and down til i found this pair at Noda. It cost me abt SGD 34 after 20%. Guess it is not tat cheap afterall but it was the cheapest i can find. Pretty comfortable and hopefully it wont give me any blister. Maybe I can wear it my Actual Day as well since all the gown are so long and one can hardly notice the shoes. haha ... So cheapstake right?

Arrival of Wedding Rings

Finally, my wedding rings from Love & Co has arrived. I waited 2 months for them. Super duper long right? The ring is suppose to be made on demand (not from warehouse) and also flown from overseas thus the long long wait.


Here are the rings on the ring pillow and the rings on our hands. Pardon the blur blur image. Not easy taking photo with one hand. Haha,,
