Pre Wedding Photo Selection

After 2 months of waiting, we finally could view our pre-wedding photo. The long wait due to us, missing a slot of pre-booked schedule and the photographer's schedule was really full to reslot us in. So there it goes, we arrived at As.pial at 4.30pm. Greeted happily by the crew and started immediately browsing through the photos. Our photographer Dylan was with us throughout, to assist on the selection.  First round, we looked through the 298 photos on slideshow. The crew was happily commenting such beautiful shots due to their expertise. Well well.. I was really awed by the photos honestly. The feelings were beyond words. I've always like to browse at others' pre-wed photo, trying to figure out what kind of style I like, now that I'm looking at my own pre-wed photos. We were really on the clouds. Totally love our photos so so much. We looked so beautifully in love, with some fierce poses looking like models, some candid shots capturing happy and light moments. Thi

First Gynae Visit

It's quite a shame to say I finally build up the courage to see the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialist for the first time at this age. It has always been a nightmare listening to the story of how Papsmear and Ultrasound being performed by a total stranger at your intimate part. Although I'm truly aware I should at least see the gynae once a year to check for well-being of my female organs, I procrastinated until yesterday. That's when Wilson insisted I should do the check-ups before we officially start family planning. So I made some researches, these pre-marital check ups could be as comprehensive as you name it, the fees could add up to thousands. Since I did my full body check up just 2 years back, I opt for a basic well women package which consists of papsmear, pelvic ultrasound, breast examination and gynae consultation. I took this package from Pan.tai Hosp. KL and was recommended by their Health Screening Centre to go with Dr. Prem.itha.  - An hour wait

Somewhere In Between

We've been legally Mr and Mrs for almost 3 months now. But that is only on paper, we have not gone through customary chinese wedding yet. Another 4 months to go till the big day. So we're now somewhere in between legally Mr & Mrs and officially Mr & Mrs.  It is quite a confusing state where: Do we call each other hubby and wife? Yes, we do. The wedding registrar already pronounced us as husband and wife during registration of marriage right?  We are not staying together yet. Our new house is not ready for move in, yet. Therefore after the ROM we're still staying with parents. It did make us feel not-so-married as we were still on phone to say "hello, how's the day?" after work.  Refer to each other as hubby and wife in front of family, friends and colleagues. Some friends & colleague already started mentioning him as "your husband". I felt it's alright. What about me? Me too, started to mention "my husband" in conve

Chaperone Lady

Only recently I added this word to my English vocabulary, "Chaperone Lady" or better known as Dai Kum Jie. Chinese has dozens of traditional customs in wedding, so we thought it would be better to have this lady to guide us through a smooth and blissful chinese wedding.  I was checking with few good friends who has recently got married, got a few contacts from them. Apparently there are some criteria to fulfil as a Chaperone, which are: Pleasant appearance Quick thinking and observant Fluent with auspicious speech; best in yours and in-law's dialect Well-versed in traditions, ceremonies and important customs For us, we prefer someone who's less pushy and with modern thinking, someone who can cheer up the wedding events and bring fun to the serious rituals in Chinese wedding.   So after speaking to a few ladies, we finally made decision to hire "Tou Jie or Doris" from Thean Hou Temple as our Chaperone Lady. She's a lovely lady, always wea
