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...

Finally found what I've been looking for...for both our wedding night and our photoshoot...

due to the last minute rush i've been feeling kinda stressed over the things and props we needa get before our photoshoot and this is among one of the hardest to get item la..


A Movie Clapper Board!
I've finally found it at a camera accessory shop and very cheaply too at a mere SGD20!!

anyway, to read more about this movie clapper board, please go to our wedding blog
http://soontobemrskeir.blogspot.com/2011/09/where-to-buy-movie-clapper-board-in.html

There's a treasure hunt story on getting the movie clapper board in Singapore hehz.

Uncle Des just struck me with a question, since our photoshoot's gona be on a wkday, most friends probably can't join us.
and uhm..since he didn't get a driving license in time..and i'll be wearing a gown, then who drive ar?
ahaha..

okok so if you are a close friend reading this and don't mind taking half a day off on the 12th oct to be our kind "chauffer" for our outdoor shoot and to be part of our photoshoot together (including servicing me...like holding my gown for me la..helping me change heels..yadda yadda..) please please please do let me know!
*sniggers***

the stress here!

alrighty i know i'm supposed to upload photos of our gown fitting session...i thought we had the timing and schedule all well planned with almost a month to get and plan the style we want, his shirt, my accessories, shoes bla bla bla.

but alas..my boss told me i've to be in indonesia on the day of our supposed shoot.
and well, i didn't inform her of our marriage plans yet, let alone telling her about the photoshoot...(actually i was kind of hoping that i'll get to wear my stone on my finger and she'd realise and ask n voila! perfect timing to break the news to her...)

anyway there's no need to already since i've to tell her that it was actually our pre-wedding shoot day...but she did express her "really want me to be there" message..

so...fortunately or rather unfortunately, our bridal house coordinator has been super helpful and nice to help us find a suitable date...i know it ain;t easy cos there're so many parties to coordinate with, your make up artist, the photographer, the availability of the studio and the gowns you've chosen and the suits he's chosen..

so alas! the photoshoot has been brought forward from 28 oct to 12 oct..exactly 2 weeks la!

now i've to rush to think and research on the style we want, cum go shop for the clothes & wigs n whatsoever that we may need.

to top it up, i've to go to the bridal house 2 more times, once for my trial makeup and 1 for the finaly fitting, all in span of 2 weeks la...i can feel the fire on my buttock already..

omfg......running out of time..help!!!

for now if you happen to read this post and happen to know the answer, please please let me know!

1) where to buy movie clapper board?
2) where to buy a pink panther? or if u have lend me can?
3) where to buy a kuku hair wig? u know like the mushroom head kind?
