Royal Carribbean Cruise: Legend of the Sea

Despite being uber stressed up with our Big day drawing near and us not having done ANYTHING yet,
we're kind of still looking forward to the well-deserved break.

our 4 days 3 nights Royal Carribbean Cruise.

Supposedly to be luxurious and romantic for couples but we're going with his family and the extended  side of the in-laws as well..a group of 30 pax or so...speak about romance. lolx.

There will be tons of things to settle and really focus on planning our BIG day once we're back.
Another update, our pre-wedding shots are ready for selection!

Gona view them next Tuesday. I didn't know couples on average spend like 3 hrs selecting the photos.
Gosh that's about as long as the gown selection.

Must be cos the Photos are soooooo expensive and most couples are trying not to top up any.

That will be our motto too! Jiayou Jiayou.not gona bring any credit cards along..MUAHAHA.,.
we took about 200+ poses that day..and can only choose 36 out of them..gona be tough le..

Still Drea ish getting all stressed up thinking of all the unsettled stuffs to do..
My Dear friends...anyone volunteer some help for us?
I need to outsource le!!!!

Power Rangers Meet & Greet at Takashimaya

oh yea it's over and we had the Power Rangers Meet & Greet session at Takashimaya earlier this month. and that was what I'm busy with..gosh..

there it was, the 5 rangers disappeared into thin air! lolx...

nah that was when the costumes just arrived..

We had a Japanese director coming down from Tokyo to help direct the movement and choreography of this meet & greet so I’ve been like super busy planning the event and chaperoning our Japanese guests those few days..

Gosh it was probably one of the busiest period I ever had in this company. =X

so there we were at the backstage just before our very first show!

A very different kind of experience and I've learnt a lot of new things managing a show like this. Even handling the nitty gritties such as the music & effects etc.

On the other hand, we're left with only 3 months to the wedding..OMFG!!! still trying to settle the room and then the invites thereafter...

haven't got a photographer and videographer for our Actual day yet too..hehz..for updates, please go to the wedding blog ya..

a healthier lifestyle

as the date gets nearer, omg how time flies, we didn't do anything except for a mini reno of the room and our photoshoot and we're left with just 4 months...

*stress**

anyway both of us are trying to keep fit (slim) or lose weight for our big day so we started our weekly routine (hopefully) = Jogging! hee..

it's our 2nd jogging/ brisk walking session together le. Didn't know it can be so fun jogging with a loved one, minus the fact that you'll get distracted. Not so good for serious training though. haha..

I'd laugh each time Uncle Des comes back for me..can't help it but I'm just totally amused by it. haha...

Ok after some weeks of nua-ing I guess it's time to get our prep started else i'd feel stress if i can't see the line up and schedule..

Just like how i used to prepare for exams, i need to break things down and ensure that i'm in time for everything else i'd feel so stressed out...

Business Trip to Jakarta alone..=(

Time flies, when I first received news that I've to fly to Jakarta alone to attend a Asia Regional Director's meeting, i thought "still sometime to go end of October".

and now October has came and I'm flying off tomorrow morning to Jakarta..

*sings "all by myself**

After listening to all the horrid stories of Jakarta and how dangerous it is for a lady to be travelling alone there, i got kind of worried and excited.

Is the place as dangerous and the people as scary as what they had been described to be?

In anyway I do not want to take the risk and decided to take the very first flight there and last flights back to Singapore.

It's a norm in my current job I guess. I'd rather sacrifice some sleep and depart Singapore at 645am than to spend a night alone in Jakarta - it's not like it's safe enough for me to be out roaming and shopping alone at night there too right?

I wonder what will my  first experience in Jakarta be like...less off the fact I've to do a presentation in front of all the directors, most of them are Japanese. That's so totally dampening.....that's also when you appreciate and understand why do they make us do tons and tons of presentation when we were still in poly back then.

iDAT iphone App from Health Promotion Board

I've downloaded this app from HPB that will supposed help you keep track of the calories you've consumed and burnt to track or aid in your weight loss..

and this is what i get..

Very helpful indeed.
At times I wonder if Singapore's BMI health standard is accurate.
You need to have an BMI above 23 to be considered overweight and to be on diet.

But having a BMI of 21 is enough to make me look and appear fat.
To qualify for their BMI 23, i reckon you must be really round and have difficulty walking loh?

a Wedding Dinner

Been a while since I've attended wedding dinners since I'm not supposed to attend any "red events" within 1 year of papa's passing..

Anyway went to Mandarin Orchard to attend Peggy & Eric's wedding dinner. I got to know them from Lunar, so was kind of looking forward to catch up with some of the Lunar Kakis too..

The ballroom itself was pretty unique. It’s a 3 tiered kind of ballroom where the stage is at the bottom so the couple have to walk down tiers of stairs to the stage.

On the downside, it’s really troublesome especially if you have wheelchair-bound elderlys.

Kind of challenging for the bride to walk down tiers and tiers of stairs too…shortens the march-in since it’s not the typical aisle type of marching in.

That aside, something I wana shout about is the Bride’s Gown!! She has LED on her gown…so cool right..

didn't manage to snap a shot of it so took the pic from her Fb instead. hehez.. i remember seeing this on the news lately with the latest-evolved design of bridal gowns.

a photo with the newly weds..they'd an instant booth ready for the guests too..so this pic ain't so clear..hehz..

Our table photo with ang moh erik missing though...

Being a Lunar table, this table naturally became a drinking table loh...Look at our table.

We had liquors in the middle instead of the usual food for a wedding dinner banquet.

Their service standard is excellent! or maybe it's the staff assigned to our table. He actually took the initiative to suggest serving us our food individually so that we can use the centrepiece to put liquor instead.

He also brought chips and peanuts to our table! ahahha....

and this is funny! the usual 5 - 10 seconds stunt for the guys..after tekan-ing the groom, it's ang moh erik's turn!

Mamee ronson's wondering why is he smelling his armpit too..ahahha.

I didn't managed to get the name of the ballroom but it's definitely quite a unique kind of setting, they even have a DJ console inside loh..

Just that if you're looking at a cosy kind of ambience maybe this ballroom won't be suitable ba..

Heartiest congrats to the newly weds too.. both of them met at Lunar also.

Same as uncle des and me, just that we got to know each other through Mr. Shane and the venue we so happen to first meet was at Lunar..haha...

Pre Wedding Photoshoot updated!

My favourite photo of us for now. hehez..

Alrighty had our pre-wedding photoshoto done finally and both of us had great fun!

Uploaded more pics over at our wedding blog...

weekend updates

not much to update but thought of dropping a short note to self on last weekend so that if i ever need to recall, i can always back track hehz..

Friday:
Dinner with de zhus for Sept Babies Celeb (actually only SY) @ Le Le Pot.
Reckon it's gona be our first and last time there. Food is ok but they actually fined us for having 4 meatballs left over floating around in the soup..DUH..

Saturday:
oh it's definitely an important day for us to remember in future! but someone refused to let me post the pic..sobzz...

After Uncle Des is done with his work, we spent the evening at my place cos it's Mama's off day again! = family day for us..heehee...time to play with BB Zavier too.

Sunday


Went to Taka's Crazy Toy Sale - it's the last day and it's uncle des who wants to go....(yeah he loves toys)
shun bian pop by Daiso to get black board for our photoshoot...hehez..

will take pic of the pretty black board with pretty fluorescent writings on it soon..

a busy weekend...

sometimes i confuse myself by having 2 blogs, cos there are things that kinda overlap, between this and the wedding related stuffs..but for the more personal stuffs with lots of our pics, i guess i'll post here la hor..hehez..

Anyway we'd a busy busy weekend! no wonder Uncle Des a.k.a Mr. Keir (hence my blog soon-to-be-mrs.keir) was so worn out today that he look so sian at our trial make-up session...

Saturday's Mission: Get that man his Tux!!

One of the most difficult. You know how us ladies know exactly where to get what we need/want? If we want an evening gown we know where to shop, if we need that pair of heels, we know where to get them too.

And you know how men just have no idea where to get what they need?

Good grief after some research online, I've found a highly recommended tailor!

So tadah, there we went on Saturday to tailor-make his tux shirt!
Gotta wait till Uncle Des collect his shirt then can comment on the quality and all, but so far from what we've seen, it seems not too bad la..the Tux shirt was $75 already cheaper then off the racks outside and it's custom made to your measurement, with your choice of collar, pocket, cuffs yadda yadda..

we also tailor make a black shirt for uncle des that he can wear for work too..at $34 only! wooohoo that's the steal la, tailor make at a price lower then your usual G2000 and we get to choose materials or design we want for the inner collar and cuffs.

Shall post more pics once the shirt is done. Prob will post a little on this on the wedding blog too since it's related to sourcing for the groom's stuff hehez..

After spending like 1-2 hours there (1 hr is the waiting time loh) we proceeded to Ikea to get ideas for our Love nest (master bedroom).

It's our first time at Ikea as a couple and boy was it meaningful, we had our first meal together in ikea as a couple and discussing and getting ideas on how we want our love nest to be like!

So it's definitely something to blog about hehez...

Else i think i've more or less neglected de blog a little....haven't been updating with activities that frequently.

Sunday: Trial Make-up Day

It's trial make-up day and my BFF a.k.a JY suggested to have dim sum brunch before we pop over for the make up trial..

I saw mama at home and didn't realised she's working in the afternoon, hence brought her along for a hearty dim sum brunchiee!

Been a while since we or me took mama out...gona try to spend more time with her and bring her for good food more often.

It's kinda hard these days as most of her off days it's gona be her Grandson's time! ahaha

ok before you get goosebumps, just focus on the dim sum below la...

After the trial make-up we went to Colbar for site recce a little. Actually cos col bar was one of our photoshoot location..nice right? super old school vintage!! RETRO!

So here's showing you the power of a good make-up...

As you know i ain't blessed with pretty or big eyes so eye make-up has always been really important to me and that's how i use to rate if a make up artist is worth her salt.

This make-up artist assigned to us by the bridal studio is pretty good i must say. She somehow managed to balance my brows and also can see that she's really trying different methods on the left and right eye to figure out which method actually helps make the eyes look bigger!

Though uncle des say he think it's not much of a difference from my usual own make-up la..I take that as a compliment that my skill is as good as a PRO! lolx..

of cos she's alot more skillful with the blending and using the right amount of pastels to achieve the watery eye look...

Just take a look at the image above with one side done and the other undone....lolx....

since i'm looking pretty for the day, of cos must take couple more shots...

with the right angle, i can achieve the super kawaii look that most gers like to post in their FB.

Everyone can be a babe in Facebook loh...lolx...
