New Hair style and Roxy....

I went and trimmed my hair on Tuesday during lunch hour. Met yong yesterday and he didn't realise I changed my hairstyle..but..he can remember the URL of my blog. Sometimes, I am just plain amazed by him. The stuff that I thought he will notice he doesn't but stuff I never thought he will remember - he does...

This morning, I walked to kitchen and back to my room..I saw Roxy coming out from Mic's room..so I scolded her..why she didn't come to say good morning to me...I wanted to take a picture of her but she was moving around..so..I scolded her again and she gave me this look...

Ain't she cute??

More shots of her from this morning...

I am seriously going to miss her loads after I shift out of the house....

Gramophone Buffy.

Why this title?

Because Buffy went to visit the vet again last Monday. Her hind leg (where the surgery last year was done) had broken skin. She was biting it - I think it was freaking itchy. That made the area bleed. I didn't know that alcohol was too strong for cleansing and after 3 days I realised that it wasn't getting any better so Yong took time off work and brought Buffy to the vet.

The vet gave her 2 creams and an antiseptic liquid that had to be mixed 1 part to 10 parts water. Yong was so cute - he went to my kitchen to get a plastic bowl to mix the mixture and used cotton to swab the skin when I had a dropper bottle. Anyway, its almost a week not and its almost healed. On Sunday, she made it for the photo shoot - can't wait for the photos to be out.

Today, she pee-d on the balcony floor so I had to clean it up before getting out of the house. To prevent her from licking or biting the scar after medication has been applied, the vet gotten her a cone (similar to after surgery). I asked her to sit on the stool for me to apply her medication and she never came down. It was just so cute - like the Gramophone dog.

My temperature today: 36.7

Tribute to my Mum...

I know its not Mother's Day yet but this post is not meant for Mother's Day.

My mum is on the front line battle with Swine Flu (I don't care if its re-named to Influenza A) as she works at TTSH. She was there during the SARS period as well and she volunteered to work in the unit that time. I believe if there's a need she will do it this time as well. It's freaking scary to see her on her mobile these days as she's always talking to other nurses.

I have to rant - she actually booked a package holiday with her usual travel kakis to go to China this month but due to the Swine Flu outbreak, she was asked to cancel her leave and not travel. Since she's out there fighting for Singapore, I don't understand why the travel agency have to charge her for cancelling the trip. Eh..you all want to serve at TTSH or not!? I think they won't even dare go to Novena! Ami and I told my mum that if the agency want to charge the cancellation even with TTSH director's letter, we will definitely bring this to the papers or such. Come on, these nurses are braving the viruses!

What I wore today - it was really cold since it rained so heavily this morning. I was aching from the photo shoot yesterday (don't ask why, if you really must know - go try it out) and didn't want to get up. But I had to go to HDB and Town Council to activate my electricity, water and to pay the conservancy charges for May. Bloody tired now...

Wedding Indoor Photoshoot...

Its that day! Went for my indoor photoshoot at my bridal studio. Forgot to take some photos of my hair but here are some photos for the day:

While making up - Ivy (my makeup artist) was on the phone...

Cam-whore...

More Cam-whoring...

Close up of my face...
Waiting for my next hair styling. I had a new hairdo with every outfit change. I had 5 outfit change for today and the photo shoot took us close to 6 hours!

Yong trying out poses...


All our nonsense..we came really well prepared with me bringing 6 pairs of shoes..yong bringing 2 shirts and 2 uniforms...hahaha.....

We had some photos taken with Roxy and Buffy. Thanks to Ami and Mic for bathing and fluffing them up this am and also bringing them down to the studio in the pm for the shoot. Love you guys!! Check out Mich's blog for their behind the scenes. Sorry for making you guys wait and wait. Muackz!



After the shoot was over, I had to go to a hair salon to wash my hair and get all the gunk out of my hair! My makeup - I can't remove the bloody liner! Its like a dark eye ring on my lids..hahaha..



Now, although tired, I have one more stop to make - to my outdoor MUA house to show her my gowns and to discuss on the schedules of my outdoor...

All I can say - its really tiring to pose like this, put your hands like that, smile here, look there, look down, sit here....hahaha....

Thurs, Fri & Sat....

Thursday Night - after work.

Had another appointment with the bridal studio at 630pm for my gown fittings..OMG! They were really really tight!!!

Took a couple of photos of my outdoor gowns which I am taking along for my outdoor shoot next Friday with Amos.

Gown 1 - slightly different feel to the other 2 indoor gowns..this was love at first sight. Still a little loose so will need to be altered around my chest area.

Back of gown 1.


Gown 2 - 2 piece tulle tube gown. Love the tulle bottom.
Back of gown 2.
Pairing the top with a pair of jeans.. probably for the ease to move around next Friday. Went to dinner at AMK Hub's Fish&Co than headed home. Ami came home with these Jill Stuart loots. Other than 1 jelly eye color, all the rest were dupes that Remy brought back from Taiwan for me! The question now - to sell or not to sell? haiz....



Friday - Morning

Left the house early in the morning (10am) and headed to bodyshop for my relaxing Spa Wisdom massage. I signed a package for my back to lighten my acne scars and prevent further outbreaks in prep for the wedding day (yeap, spent money again)..

What I was wearing on Friday. After the massage, met up with yong to go to Zara to get his suit. Spend S$450. Lunch time! Went to Isetan to eat Tonkichi...

After lunch, we made a mad dash to Tangs lingerie bar to search for a nude tube with bra cups for the 2nd outdoor gown I have. The tube is all lace thus there was no way to sew on cups thus I had to get them myself..Another mad dash to Clara's nail shop...
Me - doing my pedicure. Thanks to Renzze aka Karen for the contact. Clara's absolutely, positively the best manicurist cum nail art artist I've ever been to. She's also very very friendly and chatty. I love the decor of her shop..very country and a little victorian touch here and there..I've posted her link to my blog..photos of my nails...

After that, Yong came back to fetch me and we decided to go for a drink..Tivoli it was...
That was that....

Saturday - Morning

Similarly, this was another early day - left the house at 915am. Went to Balestier to meet with Johnson (our ID) to choose our tiles for the house. OMG!! Floor, wall, kitchen, toilet, living....I tell you!!! I don't think I ever want to go through this again!!!!! So many different colors, textures, material....*blur* Finally, we've decided on the tiles..so cute..they give you miniature samples of the chosen tiles...

After this, it was more choosing - toilet sink, shower set, mirror, toilet bowl, toilet paper holder, taps, washing sink, taps, lights....All these choosing took close to 4 hours! We went to TPY to see a flat that was already 95% done. And a freak accident happened. Johnson was showing us the glass sliding door that separates the kitchen and the living room when after that 1 of the worker walked straight into the glass! Well, the glass was ok but he wasn't. I think he kena cut near his brows. This made me realise that not choosing the glass slding door for my kitchen was a right move. I've once walked into a glass door before so I know how pain that really is!

After lunch with them, we went to get our threading done. I got my waxing done too. Then it was off for a beer. I realise that we've been drinking a lot of beer recently.

What I wore today....my new F21 yellow dress. Needed something to perk me up...

Off to rest..another busy day tomorrow....

Accomplishments!

It's Sunday! Tomorrow's another workday... I haven't really been updating my blog as frequently as I've used to. The reason being that I've been really busy with the house, the wedding and work.

Friday night was dedicated to Amos, our photographer for the outdoor and actual day. He's given us a very different perspective of our outdoor shoot so I can't wait to embark on it 2 weeks later! Oh, he has a cat and a dog that can live together. Though I think the cat's smarter than the dog. Oh well. First, I will need to work out the makeup and hair schedules with Cherry. Then, I will probably need to get permission for some of the places that we want to get the photo-shots done.

Saturday, we woke up bright and early for an appointment with the card printers. I was so cheesed! Although we made an appt for 930am, it seemed useless. There was only 1 person working and 3 customers to serve! The cards that were free were also damn obiang! Not like those that Cornelius showed us! Anyway, I didn't want to spend extra money on the cards so I made Yong make all the decisions. Not easy!haha...

Cam-whoring on my way to the printer....

While Yong was trying to figure the way there...He was complaining that I should be taking his photo and not mine!

After the session with the printers, we went back to our new home. This was for the 'dong tu' ceremony to prepare for the renovation that will be starting soon! Yay, we're both quite excited about it although it really costs a bomb...a sneak peak at my new house...

After this, it was off to our next appt, to collect my cheong sam for the wedding. Well, so far I've been getting pretty good comments on the cheong sam that Mama & Misse made. My pink Thai Silk qi pao. I am really in love with it too but I think I might need to loosen it after the wedding if i'm going to wear it for CNYs. I can't sit with the qipao!!! I will post them after my photoshoot.

Next stop, to confirm the interior designer house for our home. We've decided to use Ideal Home - Johnson and Ivette. Will update on this once the reno starts.

It was off to town - to sign up for my Shape run and to get Yong's shoes for the photoshoot. Didn't manage to sign up for the run as there was a queue and the goodie bag was all redeemed. Doesn't make a difference if I sign up at home then. Yong managed to get his shoes from Zara. Half way back, he wanted to get a belt..another shopping trip!

We really needed to wind down at night so we went to Clarke Quay! For a drink and also to meet up with some of Yong's buddies whom we haven't met for quite a long time...

First up, Lunar with Lionel...

me!

Lionel and me!

Yong & me!

I was really swaku because it's my first time at Lunar. I only recognise the place for the various wedding photos that used this place as a back-drop. Above photo were the ladies that did pole dancing as one of the entertainment. There was also a live band there. Overall, it was alright but the alcohol wasn't really cheap..1 jug of beer was S$42..

After that, we went to Zirca to meet Quek and Lionel joined us later. Also my first time into Zirca. Yay, very swaku le.

The lift that stops at every floor is ready!! Yay!! I have 1 lift that stops at my floor after 20 years! I didn't even know if was functioning last night until yong told me. I find that its smaller than the old lift but who cares..It stops at my floor!!

To R&R today, I went for a Lulur scrub cum massage..yong went for a massage. Both lasted for 1.5 hours. So relaxed now that I want to go back to sleep...

TGIF!

Yea..its Friday again! Feeling tired today and not in the mood to do any 'real' work. However, I've got another busy Friday and Saturday coming up...

Tonight, Yong and I will be meeting up with Amos to discuss on our outdoor shoot 2 weeks away.

Tomorrow, will need to go to the card printer in the am. Thereafter, I need to go down to Wisma to sign up for the Shape Run with Siti. Hopefully, we can do lunch. After that, we need to go to the ID for the final quote and confirmation. Off to the new house to 'dong tu' to prepare the house for the renovation coming up. Lastly, I need to go to pick up my qi pao. So that's that for Saturday.

Sunday there's no tentative plans but I think (and hope) I can just nua at home...seriously, I think the chance of being able to do that is close to ZERO. haha....

My outfit today.

I am totally in love with the purple babydoll that I got from Taipei's night market for a mere 100ntd (that's about S$4)! If they had other colors, I think I'd grab them all!
