Blithe

Scouring for a (few) wedding gown(s).

I managed all of 2 bridal shops, and sat down at at least 4 booths today, at the Blissful outdoor wedding show (BOWS) located at Dhoby Ghaut.

I absolutely loved the first wedding shop I went to. Huge dressing room, nice full length mirrors, helpful assistants, a huge range of dresses and two absolutely adorable mouth-watering ones i liked. And a huge ass evening gown with a skirt that has a life of it’s own. I plonk it on the floor and it stands. It’s so adorable… and i look like a cake in it. The price was… “huge” too of course. : x

The second shop… Well the sheep found it nice, but since I went down without an appointment, I had to share the dressing rooms and I didn’t like it at all. : / The lady didn’t give me a good vibe, so i got out after trying a few gowns. The first gown I tried had a gorgeous train, but the top was less desirable lah. Thereafter, the other few gowns….. Hrmmmm hummmmm ho, no.

Almost went into the third one, but I almost lost my temper since I was tired from trying so much heavy, almost cannot breathe stuff on me, we got our asses to Dhoby Ghaut instead for BOWS. I’m so sorry dear! : x

1, 2, 3…. i lost count of the number of booths i’ve sat down at, but hey! There are realllllllyyyy pretty good packages there. My requirements were quite fussy, I needed to rent the gowns for more than just AD + Pre Wed, I didn’t require photography…. Fierce aunties…

Honestly. All the gowns look pretty similar to me. My preference for the gowns was more of like.. I like this a little more than this one, that one… It’s just hard to pick one cos many of them look too fabulous!!! I ended up deciding that I will just pick some random chio ones, and save the mermaid train for the A.D Wedding. Then pray that I won’t burst at the seams. A.D is STILLLLLLLLLLL so far away lah.

I made a costly mistake. Bah. But let’s hope that I can rectify it.
At the end of the day, the service is still more important to me. The sales people really play a huge part… I just can’t feel the 親切感. Please let me be able to fix this! *Apologizes to Yang furiously* : x

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh TIRED. Since photography wasn’t allowed, I wish I could sketch out what I’ve worn and seen today, but let’s leave that for another time! *faints*

I like Oldies <3

They’re just some how so much more… emotional. Even though they’re to repetitive for me.

CNY Nails

2 different nail looks over the past 10 days.

Finally got a chance to use my nail stickers from Japan! PA Eternal stickies. Wah they are really damn sticky. But you still need top coat over lah, just to secure the thing. Stuck some blings on it too though they all fell off within like, 2 days.

Base: OPI Otherwise Engaged
Layered: CG Fairy Dust
Stickies: PA Eternal (about 380yen from Japan? You can get some online at Melva’s Nail Vibe!)

Although the Sally Hansen acrylic top coat does a very good job in sealing the stickers, it does crack after a few days : ( So i have but no choice to remove it and apply something else. Picked up a bottle of polish that has been left unused for a seriously long time cos I’ve never bothered applying it. It was too sweet for me back then…. HAHA.

Color: OPI Done Out In Deco

And after application, I’ved realized that the color is pretty close to what my suntory blue roses are. This was quite easy to apply, and quick to dry.

Mooks

Was getting a PC assembled in SLS, and had time to walk around so… I ended up with two mooks (magazine-books) from Kinokuniya.

The Cher one costs around $30+ (1500yen), And Agnes B one costs about $27+ SGD (1200yen). Got a 10% disc with my Kino card I think.

The next time i’m going Japan i’ll be buying more mooks!!! > : | I got my Fred Perry mook there. : D

Comes with a mini pouch with lotsa pockets. Very convenient. But i dumped my LX3 in it instead lol. Roomy enough to cramp both the LX3 and DS in it!

The Agnes B mook came with a free bracelet/bag charm.

Both bags are canvas, and light to carry around la.

<3 Mooks!

Ling makes Bee Hoon

I hardly cook. Okay yes I cannot cook to save my life.

So very recently (today), in a bid to make myself feel more “wifey” (erm….) I’ve decided to wake up at seven in the morning (UNGODLY HOUR!) and make beehoon for the sheep fiancé to bring to the office to eat.

I survived!!!!!
And he survived!!!!

But according to him, i quote verbatim:

“The seasoning enough for four people. Very salty. I dunno why but the bee hoon like clump together one. But the taste is there, and got big love. : D”

Oh well. So here’s the recipe i kop-ed from my mum.

What you need:
- Pork leg. Those canned ones. Ready made. x1 can.
- Bee hoon. Be sure to find those thin ones. x1 packet
- Salt
- Sugar
- Dark Soya Sauce

And this is how to make the poisonous bee hoon creation:
- Soak bee hoon in water. Make sure you soak it long enough!
- Take out the pork leg. Debone it. Keep the the meat and remaining sauce apart.
- Heat up the sauce
- Add a little water
- Add dark soya sauce
- Add some Salt
- Add a little bit of Sugar
- Throw in the bee hoon
- Roll bee hoon under low fire
- Somewhere in the midst of it all, throw in the meat.
- Taste and serve!

Erm. I guess it turned out too salty cos when I queried my mum on how much salt and how much dark soya sauce, she said…

Me: How much dark soya sauce and salt to put?
Mum: A bit!
Me: How much is a bit!?
Mum: Not too dark.
Me: …..
Bro (using mum’s hp): Good luck ar sis. :p

-_-” I’ll try again. *Pats Yang’s tummy*

I’m very hungry now. And I have to eat. And since I didn’t make enough for the both of us (bad agaration), I shall go make some trusty maggie mee now. Heh. Maggie love. <3

十二生肖之三合、六合

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it from the sheep’s younger brother.

Apparently all animals in the zodiac have 2 partners, and a benefactor. Supposedly, being around your partners will bring you luck.

I googled a bit more and found this.

12个地支（生肖、属相），有两种“论好的合”。一个叫“三合”，一个叫“六合”。

三合：就是三个“死党、好朋友”。于是，12地支，共有四组死党。即：

申子辰、三合….属猴、属鼠、属龙，三合为一组死党。
巳酉丑、三合….属蛇、属鸡、属牛，三合为一组死党。
寅午戌、三合….属虎、属马、属狗，三合为一组死党。
亥卯未、三合….属猪、属兔、属羊，三合为一组死党。

任何一组死党中的某一个人，皆会认为另两个成员是他的忘年之交。思想、价值观、习惯、动作….总认为是那么情投意合。你有没注意到，三合的地支各相差几岁？答案是四岁！原来俗话说：差４＊＊岁结婚才是天作之合，原来是这么根据来的。

六合：六合不是六个“死党”，而是六组“贵人”。即：

子丑、六合….属鼠与属牛，为一组贵人
寅亥、六合….属虎与属猪，为一组贵人
卯戌、六合….属兔与属狗，为一组贵人
辰酉、六合….属龙与属鸡，为一组贵人
巳申、六合….属蛇与属猴，为一组贵人
午未、六合….属马与属羊，为一组贵人

任何一组的两人，冥冥之中相处就是那么融洽，且都很愿意帮助对方。

十二生肖之三合、六合如下:

生肖属鼠其三合是：龙、猴，其六合为：牛

生肖属猪其三合是：兔、羊，其六合为：虎

所以在佩戴方面，无论金牌抑或玉佩，都以三合生肖、六合贵人造形为主。

Dad was my benefactor, but I don’t live with him anymore sooooo….. : /

If you don’t have them in your family, then well, get statues to replace it and have them positioned in the north direction.

The Proposal <3

He kept rushing me home. I DONT KNOW FOR WHAT. The convo went like this:

Twitter: I can’t seem to get evonnz home nowadays.
Me: What’s home?
Him: A surprise for you at home dear
Me: !??!
Him: Btw the surprise will die if you don’t reach home by 8.
Me: What the hell is that!?
Him: Live fow gua. *plucks*

That really made me laugh out loud!

Anyway i reached home at like, 7.35.
And an envelope was almost camouflaged on my table cos they were of the same color. I nearly missed this hilarious drawing!

Envelope 1 Letter 1

Okay ugly heart shape.

So i went to look under the bed.

Another envelope with 3 letters.

Apparently this is how he thinks i would look like looking for things under the bed. HAHAHAHAHA! But HELLO!

And a surprise blue rose…!

He scripted me to say No. So i said no lor!

Hahahaha. Then I called him and asked him what’s next. So he directed me to a website which was done by him, no less. *Grins* Quite expected from a web programmer. Now he has to keep this website alive for the rest of his life. LOL.

And it says…

(view at http://willyoumarrya.fireman.sg/) yes its a real site. and he hid the url by shortening it, so i only saw the whole url as it loaded. Hahahaha.

So it says that there’s supposedly 21 red roses and another blue rose next door.

*goes next door*

I tried the front door and i couldn’t get it! So i tried going through the connecting bathroom. First i see… Dead flowers. WHAT 21 RED ROSES!?!??!?!

Then something made me break into laughter!

LOL. If you read the borntobeyour taoeh blog, you would have known that he’s caused an hilarious uproar by using the pager codes of the past. And I couldn’t stop laughing when i saw this! Called him and asked: “Eh where is the yong bu fen li?” Hahahahaha. No wonder he was asking me what’s “520″ etc.

There was another blue rose on the floor, forming the “4″ and also another envelope at the bottom of the “4″.

You see you see. I was scripted to say NO again. So he asked again over the phone and I said NO!

He was outside the house after I changed.

Then he dragged me to an “atas” restaurant which was Bistro Petit Salut, at Chip Bee Gardens. “Dragged” cos he initially told me we were gonna go eat crabs. THEN HE CHANGED PLANS. And told me we’re going to some “atas” restaurant to eat. AND I REFUSED! lol I think I gave him a hard time cos I didn’t wanna waste money on “atas” food. -_-”

Him, dejected.

I ordered my meal without smelling a rat. I told him to try again with a ring, hahahaha.

(Imagine i inserted random pics of my starter and his escargots, which was obviously the nicer choice.)

(Then we had our mains. Which was equally not as nice to me cos I dont really fancy atas food.)

Throughout the meal he kept asking “Huh dear really must need ring ah. Really ah. No ring can or not”. And at some point I actually said yes cos COME ON before this proposal he already knows I’m gonna be his what! So after the mains….

He popped out a neatly wrapped present (“I paid $2 for it OKAY!”) which according to him, is “something you (me) want, but i got no ring for you.” it turned out to be…..

An Apple Magic Mouse.

I was supposed to say No again. So I said NO lah!

He tweeted: “ITS NOT MAGICAL AT ALL I WANT MY MONEY BACK”

(Honestly I didnt care if there was a ring TODAY or not! I kept saying okay la when i saw his dejected face, but he kept asking me to say No!)

Then we had dessert and I thought it was done and over with. Can go home sleep liao I was soooo happy.

Oh the strawberry dessert was quite nice so I’m including a picture of it.

So he kept saying that he has no more presents, (even before the magic mouse!) and went to the toilet.

Him: Oh dear look there’s a lady gg into the toilet. I shall go steal her ring. But seriously dear no more surprises liao.

And when he came back, he started narrating his day to me, about how he went to get all the stuff and cardboard from Popular but in the end he decided not to stick the petals blablabla… How he got drenched, got dry, and then perspired till he looked like he was drenched again and all.

And then he said he got me something from Popular.

Fishy.

And out came another bag inside the plastic bag…

!!!!!! I just went into BVLGARI THAT VERY DAY LOR.

He took out a blue rose.

AND THEN HE KNELT DOWN AND PROPOSED.

Omg I had tears in my eyes. But I didn’t cry lah.

After clearing some confusion (as per below), he slipped zee ring on my finger. It fitted perfectly. He’s good.

Me: er Dear which one ah
Him: *says left hand in chinese*
Me: what is that?! (I 左右不分)
Him: LEFT LAH!
Me: Orh *gives left hand*

Finally allowed to say YES! And i’m a happy girl. : D ~

His proposal stuff. He very comically threw me the envelope of taka vouchers and lucky draw coupons back at home and told me: “Nah dear, lucky draw tickets to our new Lexus.” Hahahahhaha!

That sneaky fella. No wonder he asked me and friends about the Taka Card points system etc and went to register for it.

Best conversation after the whole proposal…..

Me: Eh dear. Why so early propose one. I expected it but not so early!
Him: Oh. Cos the roses came early.

Anyway.

Just to clarify.
1. Yes we’ve only dated for 6 months.
2. But i’m very sure.
3. My parents have no objections,
4. And i’m not pregnant!

So there! I’m engaged. We’re engaged.

I’ve never clicked with anyone on such a level before. I normally don’t say such stuff, but I honestly, really think that we’ll be a very happily married couple, come what may. I’m grateful, for his love, his understanding, his patience and of course our peace loving nature.

Thanks to everyone who has helped him in some way or another.
Chufang for getting the mouse, Pris for sneakily asking me about the ring, and MZ for finding out the price of the ring for him.

Thank you Dear! I LOVE YOU!

Don’t worry, I’ll be very, very happy for a very, very long time. : D~ Of that I’m sure.

We’re Engaged!

The sheep proposed today. : D ~

It was a super hilarious affair, especially with all the cock-ups LOL.

No dates yet, but i’m very happy with this one, engaged or not, ring or not. = D~

I love you dear!!!!!!

And thanks everyone for the well-wishes! The entire episode and the pics another day. : )

Visee Palettes (Kose)

If im not wrong they’re about 1050Yen? Bought them in Tokyo… At my fave Donquijote and some Matsumoto drugstore along Nakano.

L-R: A-5 Blue Palette, A-4 Green Palette, B-3 Black/Grey Palette

A-5 Blue Palette.
^ The white seems to be a creamy eyeshadow.
The other 3 colors are shimmery powder eye shadows, the lightest blue has very fne light blue glitter inside, while the mid shade blue looks more purplish and has dark glitter. The darkest blue has blue and pink glitters.

A-4 Green Palette.
^ Like the blue palette, the white seems to be a creamy eyeshadow.
Rest are all powder! Have yet to try this on my eyes, maybe i’ll do that later today.
As compared to the blue it seems less glittery, but they remain shimmer and only the darkest green shade has gold flecks/glitter in it.

B-3.
This shadow is slightly different, the entire set is very bright except for the black shadow (replacing the white cream ones in the 2 previous shadows) and it’s matte black. The white is a powdery one, with white flecks/glitter, followed by the grey and darker grey shade. I love this!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Wished I bought more!!!!! But I only have two eyes. So. Oh well. *aims to get Snow Miku Nendoroid instead*

Latest Project: Barter Maison

Barter Maison.

A trading company.

This is the final decision, burgundy red for their corporate color:

Before that, the red I chose was a little too pink, hence I did up several colors for selection. I thought it looked really cute! See:
