I'm alittle bit troubled n feeling fustrated by limitations and things that is out of our control. Having a limited budget is one of our major problems, not enough money means we have to put up with difficult, very opinionate family that act like bosses, and we have to bear with their irrational nonsense, endless demands and hurting criticisms. The worst thing is to see the htb getting very affected by all this rubbish and not able to do or fight back becos we need their money, or do we? I really feel like not taking other pple $ and finding a way out for ourselves, for exm, applying for afew more credit cards and getting in debts before we even started our journey tgh.......

So enough of the heavy stuff, let me tell u our endeavours yesterday, we went for pre marriage counselling yesterday, topic was abt good communication, i dun think that is a prob for us now, ya, we can tell each other everything comfortably. Left two more sessions to go, yeah... can;t wait for the dealing with in-law topic... haha, i really need that wisdom..

After counselling, we went to check out the balloon shop!! Choosed our pink, sliver, dark blue and light blue balloons and streamers, actually now we have a prob, having free hanging helium balloons in the hotel is going to b a prob so we have to think of smt else, maybe a balloon arch or balloon pillars, but in doing that i might take the risk of the place looking too indian.

Next up, meeting with coordinators of the hotel and food tasting

I'll always remember this pic of the ballroom, while looking at the pretty sight, at the same time, i'm thinking, THIS IS NOT REALLY OUR WEDDING... ;( I can't do what i want, from the colours of the linen to every single food choice, to our gown and our pics, everything! WE CAN NEVER PLEASE YOU, AND I DUN CARE!

Food tasting feedback form. Quite happy with HI service, we were treated like royals.

Head and tail of fish with a lesson- Grandma says the head and tail of the fish is impt and we must do everything in completion not halfway, if we have a head we must have a tail.. haha.. how true.

Thanks for tuning in, see u soon, have a fabulous day!!

Bridal shoes n gowns

Recently, my mom brought me to Leapin Lazard, what i weird name for a shoe shop rite, dun get it, oh well, first impression of the shop was that it was old n dusty, lots and lots of shoes cramp tgh on the shelves, and most of their shoes that were sample pieces were already turning yellow and stained. Very ordinary place with extraordinary price! Very pricey man, $200 plus for my mum shoes and $400 for smt i like. CMI, they do mostly custom make shoes, choose design, colour, material, and height of heels. 3and half inches and above for a higher prices. Shoes take a mth to make and u have to come for a separate fitting, so troublesome and have to wait so long!! They do express service at a price, smt like diff prices for diff timing, from $15 wait time 3 wks to $50, dun have to wait so long...



Of cos i din get anything from them, went to city sq mall bought 5 pairs of heels, 3 for me, 2 for mummy for--------- $335... haha... i'm cheap!

Did i tell u, i went for yet another fitting and selection of gowns at venus, i'm quite a difficult bride to be u know, but i think venus's service is great, no complains, my frens say its only bcos i paid quite abit, $14 000Rm.. haha.. oh well, show u bridesmaid gown, i get to choose two short gowns for my frens, but dun think much of them, think i just might swop them for two coats.

Me, trying gowns again, never happy with what i have...

These are nice but i din take them, u can have them if u wan ( to all Venus brides) haha

See u soon...

Love, abby

HK Wedding gowns

Hi guys, so sorry, haven been blooging for so long, wedding is 1 mth away and we are so busy, lots of stuff not done yet, every rest day is spent planning or going places to get wedding stuff.

If you're thinking of getting your own gown, this is a place u can consider, a whole building with bridal shops, MTM or OTR, your choice, i saw some very pretty dreamy gowns , ard S$500 and above, din have the extra cash to spare, if not i wuld have bought one. Enjoy the pics taken with my iphone, the place even have cheongsums and other wedding stuff, cheaper than sg.

Shld have gotten this tea set and bowl, the design is different from the ones i can find in SG and M'sia, and Hk is cheaper too... hmm...

This is my ring pillow, i needed a pink one, cun find many large pink ones, so i had to settle for this, from golden happines in Katong shoppipng centre, very crazily expensive, $45... n i have no idea why so ex, so what if it was hand made.

Some of the other stuff they have, they do alot of rental, bird cages ang bao box, basket.. etc

Bridal gowns

Went to Venus with the family to select AD bridal gowns, have to choose 2 whites and 2 coloured. Was slightly disappointed with the selection i was presented with, not many ideal gowns, many of the gowns were off white, some looked old, the rest just plain old fashioned. The coloured gowns were worst, so difficult to find one, have to lower my expectations. In the end finally settled for a blue and a purple one, wanted a pink gown badly but they dun have any nice pink gown... boo...



Good smooth material, nice train and flower patterns but dun like the front, abit too much for comfort.

The grey one looks fine rite, but i'm a traditional bride, white means white!

These are boring... yawn...

My FAVOURITE!!!! Ballet gown, but i din choose this... haha.. looks smt like my ROM short tutu gown already... so love the beadings in the front and the full skirt, but it makes my big butt looks even larger.. haha

This one is another fav, it's cute rite, i think i look good in this, but the htb says it's alittle too cute for a wedding... :) i agree..

This one is quite fluffy and whimsical, skirt's not bad, but can't stand the top..

Skirt's good top's terrible too... :)

These are some of the coloured ones, not very good, very typical of chinese weddings. I won't show u the 4 gowns i've selected, u have to come to my wedding to see it la.. haha..

Things we have to do, get the album ready, choose wedding cards, collect cert at rom, taste food, ROM decorations, and have to look for wedding dinner cake, signing pen, ring pillow, red umbrella and tea set... and so many other stuff to do la... 2 months to go... yeah!!
