Actual Day - Morning Session (Pt 1)

I would really want to blog lengthy post about my wedding day since ages ago. But time is really not permitting me to sit down and have a few good ol' minutes for myself. Am still quite unable to accept the fact that.. 

WE'RE MARRIED!! Surreal, that every single day now I'm waking up with the love of my life next to me. Here's the recap what happened on the very day he came to my home to pick me up, his bride.

All the Chinese Customary Items ready since the day before, the chicken apparently to "lead" the couple's troop back to groom's home.

My bridal shoes

My make up artist, Xiao Yan from Aspial was already working on me at 7am sharp. We estimated the groom's troop to be here by 10am.

My beloved mommy was really busy that morning, preparing and memorizing what are the items to burn, display, present to gods on Chinese custom side.

Brother's pug boy, Albert was also "dressed up" with his best collar for the big day

At around 8am, Xiao Yan started dressing my hair, with the pre-agreed hairstyle: Princess-ly. She helped me out wearing the wedding gown before hand.

My pretty sisters, in hot pink theme started to flood my house at half pass 8, preparing to give the groom troop some challenges

By 9am, I'm done. I absolutely LOVE my dress and make up that morning, I haven't felt so beautiful in entire life so far.

Groom and his brothers arriving around 9:40am, 20 minutes ahead of the schedule. My youngest brother, Bob was tasked to open the car door for the groom and he got a fat angpow for that! 

My groom, armed with a beautiful bouquet in his hand, all ready to storm over the sisters to claim his bride

The brothers were treated with a shot of Yomeishu or Bailey as welcome drink. Sent 1 of them down, throwing up

Love Potion, they call it.

In the love potion, the guys supposed to pick up something like raisins or beans in the cup to form the word "W ❤ J"

Next challenge, the girls shown them our pre-wedding photo with greatest pose. And the guys supposed to imitate the pose. With gears on, "dresses"...

and lipstick...

There you go.. all ready to pose....!!

Pose 1

Successful!

Pose 2

Pass!

Pose 3 - not bad! And there.. they won the 2 challenges set up by my uni sisters.

Next! The high school sisters set up their artistic skills to carve bread into letters! This time the groom is involved.

Bread to carved into Wilson ❤ Jessie

Voila! Didn't look too difficult for them? The  was done by the groom and later on presented to the bride! Erm, W was missing?

With that 3 challenges, the troop was allowed to come up to my apartment. The groom gave the head of sisters a packet of big fat angpow, for opening the door to him and the brothers.

Final challenge was set up for the groom himself, to recite and sign the 10 commandments to his bride at the doorstep. And then, sing a song to serenade me, LOL.

As he was singing the song for me, I was already teary. Never had him singing in public before.

Finally, he went through all the challenges and the door is opened. Me, the bride awaiting him in the room.

He presented me with the wedding band, beautiful bouquet and the Heart-bread he carved.

There, he successfully claimed his bride!

And outta from the room we went!

Mommy and us praying to god for smooth and blissful marriage, led by the chaperon lady


Tea Ceremony - present tea to elders generation, Chaperon lady Doris was really helpful here, organizing the ceremony with lively mood and atmosphere

After that we feed each other with "Tang Yuen" as symbol to love and sweet marriage

Before departing, we hugged my mommy farewell and thank her for the years taking care and bringing me up. Me and her were all teary this moment.

Together with the entourage, mommy carried the red umbrella to shield me out towards the bridal car, symbolize all well without obstacle in our marriage.

Finally we depart, from my home to the groom's home, our new home.

End of Part 1: Fetching the bride

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! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
