ROM 06th June 2009

Have you been waiting for my post? Or thinking that wat's on FB were probably 'all' there were for my ROM?! HA! Nope! I will save the best juicy parts for you & you who follow my blog la... how can I neglect my FANS?! Afterall, FB network are too wide to even include ppl U're not in close contact with, hence probably wont share MY joy. agree?? Heeee..

1st off - My anticipation


There really wasnt much to do 'last minute' except to buy my hand bouquet. No need to take a off-day to 'finish-off' any matter at all. It not the BIG Actual Day afterall. Just nice, romantic & closey afternoon with my loves.. I had no 'butterflies' anywhere.. not even until the moment when we walked to the Terrace for our Entrance.. I had jus A LITTLE jitters.. just a little.. like "OH... so this is it? IS IT REAL?!??"....

ok ok.. there was some nervousness when I was still touching up on my hair @ 2pm & seems half my guests were in my suite !! Gosh ! WHO's outside?! Will other guests feel neglected that they're on time but not warmly welcomed by the hosts?? The same instance I shouted "Where is Thomas?! Is he outside already to greet them??!?!" Liren - my stylist - had to calm me down "relax, relax.. its ok.." -- twice! ha!

2nd - Blessings

Photographer
Studio called to confirm of our appt & the photographer in-charge. We have paid the the basic package for their in-house photographer @ $380.. So happened that the owner Jaki Ke was free for the weekend & volunteered to take ROM assignment & the kind assistant Jan Phua give us to him! Jaki's fee is min $680 & above!

Bridal Room
Initally when we negotiated, GWP would not promise a bridal room for us but upon sign up we made them give us one & they did. Glad. Cos it will be more convenient for me to dress up, makeup etc etc.. When I checked in, this manager (must be the Service Manager rather than the Catering Manager whom we liaised with) gave me the Pool Side Suite! Well, I dint know what difference it would make but on hearing its a SUITE must be not bad! She kindly explained cos the make-up room 'somewhere' along the washroom area don have nice room number so she changed it to another one for us & the pool side suite happened to be available!!

The Pool Side Suite has a small living room with a 2 seater couch with coffee & dining table, in front of the TV cabinet. The side doors do opens out to the swimming pool & The Terrace! Not forgetting it has a KING size bed! However, we dint get to sleep for the nite.. cos its jus a day-use room for that couple of hours.


Woo hoo!!!

3rd - Hiccups(small ones)

Hand bouquet
In brief; Went to the Bugis florist.. had hardtime choosing types of flowers & arrangement.. decided & realised it cost $88 for 6 stalks roses + some simple pieces + man-fee.. shocked.. reduced to mere 6 stalks of roses but each cost $4.. sorry & goodbye.. went to Cold Storage.. found ready made bouquet @ $18 !!!! Grab & pay!
Conclusion: Florist is a total ripped-off!

MC of the Day
Had the vows in Mandarin so that both our fathers will understand. Hence, any speech will have to be in both Mandarin & English.. This handsome best-frd here read the wrong name.. Our gd pal is named Xiang Ann & my Honey is call Zhi Xiang.. & he annouced 'Pls welcome Xie Xiang Ann & Han Li Fen..".. Honey's name WAS TOTALLY WRONG even to the surname! Honey surname is XIA not Xie !!!
*shake-head* I dint realised this actually until everyone asked me.. o.O

Xiang Ann scratching his head.. ?? or
was Ann in such shock that made him suddenly light-headed so much he had to support his head??

I caught U! Not paying attention!

'Lecher-Honey' - look at his tougue..

Kenny Roger's

Jiaxin is flying off for studies right aft Valentine's & I will be holiday in Dubai during CNY week.. so it left only 1 mth for us to meet up..

As usual, 6.30pm appt time was never met. Late late late.. Jamie stil on train, Pam stil in office! & Jiaxin.. she don pick up her damn phone calls!! Damn.. sometimes peo nv change.. hai.. surprise me please.....



Anyway, w/o Pam we head to eat first.. den it's bitching time.. everything about TLP & thE TLP bitch... haa.. but this time something not nice which i shalln't repeat here. I don enjoy such gossip... by the time Pam reach was about almost 8pm & right after Pam finished her food we started CAM WHORING

We had 3 takes cos the polite waitress keep asking "Is it ok?".. so Jiaxin took advantage & wanted her to re-take.. haha.. can see on the 3 take the waitress had to force her smile ! hahaha.

haaa.... dono who suggested the 'ever-infamous' posing... haha.. You know like Marilyn Monroe had this famous of squeezing her knees together & keeping her hands on her skirt so that her skirt wont fly-up??

This ONE.. is unqiue.. "over-the-shoulder-look"


You see how hard the two of them tried but in vain.. haha.. they jus cant 'turn' the shoulder/head... hahahhahah




Jiaxin is trying to be 'serious' - those models in fashion mag kind?

Sat - Friends Wedding

This is Crystal's Big Day! 20th Oct 2007

Me & Jenny were the 'jie mei' ( i prefer this being called 'ah yi', sounds so old). So, we had to be there early in the morning. Working our time back - since the groom had to arrive at 8am.. we decide to reach @ 7am, so me had to meet Jenny ard 6.30 which means me had to wake up 5.30am !! Considering some traditions demands the groom arrive 5-6am at the bride's house.. i think i have no complains.

So, me & Jenny got there & only then we realised we were the ONLY jie mei ! HOLY SHIT... we don even know the groom, how are we gonna 'negotiate' at the door! shit shit shit.. me & jenny were quite green horn leh + don even know the groom how do we dare to play. Later on, Crystal told us Rosster had to stay 'away' from the groom sight until he enter the house. Well, i dono wats all the traditions about & how/who came up with this.. but since its a joyous occasion jus be pang tang & follow lor ! + that means we no need to be @ the 'negotiating-door'. hehehe

Well, the whole morning was quite quiet till the 'brother-cars' arrived in fanfair! ***ponk ponk ponk ponk........!!!*** - marks the awaited wedding..

Bride trying to act cute.. so was the jie mei - ME !






We were the 'registrar'.. hahhaah...
Don try to 'cheat' your on ur ang bao.. all of them goes through us - name, table no - were written on angbao & recorded. hehehe



The auntie on the top far right, is a old time client but is super.. irritating. She made the whole table uncomfortable whole nite! Lucky i dono her but the girl sitting beside her was totally put-off. Imagine peo throwing food onto your plate when they don wan to eat! Then she tries to smooch the groom. Gosh..

Bday @ Brewerkz

My first time dining @ Brewerkz

Had the Shepherd's Pie - Beef stew topped with cheezy meshed potatoes - not bad but i had to say the stew tasted kinda like canned tuna fish. heee.. JX had the potabello mushroom which i recommended cos the last time i had potabello @ Quality Hotel it was really nice but the grilled ones here tasted really weird. It was moist & taste of beef+herb - really don know how to describe! JO had fish & chips - cant fail with this choice. Pam had the Spicy beef curry.. hee. Its came with a loaf of egg-fried bread throw on top of the curry so Pam (or rather ME) had to take out the loaf of bread for her onto another plate.. hee. of cos i had to 'sample' it.. hahaha.. it jus occur to me as a roti-john .. hahah.. of cos Pam had to stare at me saying 'Roti-john doesnt taste like this'. hee.. of cos.. tats when i realise its actually a cake ! hahaha... somethings like a butter cake pan-fried with egg. hahaha.... but it taste nice. kekeke

As u can see, my Shepherd's pie went over to JX cos i cant bare to make her eat the 'moist-duno-taste-like-wat' potabello mushroom. In the end, she also dint finish it. TMD, waste my food, i finished her's lor !

I duno wats with the faces.. heee
