Actual Day - Dinner Session

The big day is here - 13.01.13 - our wedding dinner. All the preparations, nervousness will be realized today. We will walk down the aisle as married couple witnessed by our dearest family, friends and colleagues. We had more relaxed wedding dinner as we decided to have it the day after our actual day morning session. 

Me and groom with a whole car fulled with costumes and props arrived at Grand Palace Restaurant, Pavilion at 2:30pm. Our family arrived minutes after. We met the restaurant manager and got the make up room for preparation. Xiao Yan and Youri, my make up artist arrived at 3pm and started make up on my mother and Wilson's mom. We were organizing things around, I brief my brother, MH on the itinerary again. He was tasked as the main coordinator of the event. And my best jimui, Cammy to aide. 

- The restaurant is ready for us by 5-ish - 

- Our names are up there, it's our day -

- Grand Palace's entrance and our reception area -

- The main VIP Table -

- I organized a little photobooth area with self made props -

- And with my brother's help on the camera side -

- Our friends enjoyed the photobooth, even little Michelle (Teng's daughter) posed -

- Wilson's cousin's daughter , Rachel all dressed up as our receptionist of the day -

- As early as 6, guests start flooding in, all our family members helped to welcome the guests -

- My friends helped with the reception as well! -

- The bride is here! My make up is done at around 7pm, I was accompanied by my bestie, Cammy -

- Like mom like daughter? -

- Posing with my dearest cousin sisters, my flower girls for the night -

- Bride & Groom poses before the march-in, butterflies ALL over our stomach! -

- The first march-in song we chose is "Dreams come true" by Jon Secada and Rebecca Holden; as the music prelude play, my flower girls marched in slowly and gracefully showering the floor with flower petals, so proud of them! -

- Then it's our turn, the emcee announced our names,  hand-in-hand we marched in, the hall was pitched black with a light source in front of us, my mind was blank, I can only smile, hearing claps and cheers from guests, it was such an amazing moment that will last forever in our hearts -

- Upon seated, we posed for a photo at the VIP table, with the whole world in front of us, that smile was truly screaming happiness -

- The food is served right after we were seated, our family members were all busy attending to guests -

- Our childhood montage is aired then, our guests got a glimpse of our 11 years courtship love story -

- During the 2nd dish, I was summoned in by my make up artist to change into my night gown and have the 2nd make over, then we had the 2nd march in. This time we selected Perry Como's Magix Moment as the march in song, more relaxed and light -

- We marched straight up the stage, with emcee's guidance to "cut" the wedding cake -

- Then to open the champagne and filled up champagne glasses in stack -

- An then emcee invited our family members up the stage for champagne toasting -

- And then we did the famous hand in hand champagne drinking as a couple -

- After us taking the stage, it comes the table to table toasting part, we cheers with our families and friends at each table and thanked them for their blessing and attendance -

- Yummmm Seeengggg!!! It took us an hour plus to round the whole floor! -

- Finally around 11pm, we bid our guests goodbye, hugs and blessing overflowed us that night -

Before leaving we had rounds of group photo with the respective groups of  friends, without doubt, those who turned up in our wedding is really our true friends and will really cherished our friendship -


Before leaving, my newly wed hubby's brothers really celebrated his end of bachelorhood well. They fed him with many many glasses of red wine and sent him off the feet that night. It was a really happy and joyous celebration seeing the fun and laughter we all had.

That concluded our wedding dinner. It was a really eventful weekend, Thanks to the photos, we managed to recall what happened that day in slow motion. That weekend, is by far the happiest days in my life, our life. From this day on, we are legally, officially, truthfully married. We will cherish and love each other, till the end of time.

A new chapter is about to unfold... us, in married life :)

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled!
