Wedding Photos: Preview
My photog is fast and very enthu. XD Some sample shots from dslr/iphone. According to Yang : “It just goes to show if the photographer got enough skill, anyone can look like robert pattinson! : x” He worked very hard for this shot, i think. : x Yang has always joked about how i’m his indian wife and…. there! And of course how can we miss out taking photos with the Polaroid? (Like really, Polaroid. $7 per shot man omfg. That’s 28 bucks lying there.) (all images credit to Ron Lee of Eye-Deas.com) Thank you Ron (Lee, not the female bff) for taking these lovely shots : D And perspiring, kneeling on the wet floor,…
Burlesque + Loot filled week
This week saw me running around, arranging things / fetching dad / meetings & more meetings and I’d say it went great! Happy loot for the week! Came in the mail, etc etc. : D Well the major stuff was that cheques arrived. Yay. Then came the ASOS stuff… And then the Sleek arrived, and I purchased my Tokidoki notebook MyStamp set at the post office for $39.80. But I got a lanyard free (ON THE WAY!) courtesy of Yang’s friend who works in Singpost – Not sure if i can mention her name, but thank you dear!!! : DDDD Met Ying from NailArtExpress after the event, and got some polishes from a polish order…

Yang & Evonne’s Wedding FAQ
I know this is like at least 3 months early but hey… I love it. HAHAHA. And some invites are already out on FB anyway. This is the reason why im marrying him – He writes well! I jotted down some ideas + requisites and he transformed it into… this! The wedding FAQ What should I wear? * Nothing white, this is very important, a _very_ ugly replacement wardrobe will be prepared for people who wear white, and those who cannot read properly will be given ahpek glasses. How much should I give for the ang pow? * As much as your friendship/kinship is worth. The going rate of buying someone… off is about SGD…
Randoms: December 2010
Caught some morning sun *gah* (View of Paragon from Mount E) Also paid $10 (valet) + $24 for parking. Awesome Possum. Should anyone need to know, Mt E’s parking is $2.80 per HALF HOUR before 11am, and $2.50 per HALF HOUR after 11am (if im not wrong, till 8pm). *sweat* Saw the evening sun (Eunos, 娘家 : ) ) Got Cataclysm – And finally finished downloading everything today. Level 71 one now and I’m forcing myself to stop for the next 3 days cos I have work. Watched Utada Hikaru’s rumoured last concert on UStream! Decided that we will never pay for a concert again, watching at home on the bed is just too comfy….
The Wedding: Hairstyles?
I’ve been mulling over what hairstyles to try out for the wedding and spent some time google-ing XD My two favourites: What hairstyle did you have/intend to have for your wedding?!
The Wedding: Less than 5 months to go! Eeps
So the wedding is in about 4+ odd months and gah, I haven’t done a single thing. No album, no photos, no planning : x Haven’t selected the gown for shoot, yet to email Kino, haven’t even booked the make up artist + hairstylist (for photoshoot lah) and videographer for AD! Cham. Anyhoos, I was just looking through my bridal shop’s website… and I picked these out of the collections. I hope to see these in the shop when I head down to try outfits for the shoot! 1-3 are wedding gowns, and 4-6 are night gowns. I love 1,2,4 & 5!

Contact Lenses Q&A!
I’m sure there are lotsa young people around here who has yet to try on contact lenses for the first time, citing reasons like they don’t know how to, scared, not sure how they should put on lenses… and also even seasoned users who don’t really know the correct way of wearing lenses and such. (I have my own method, different from the one in the video below!) And to be honest, my first ten years with contact lenses since I was 11 was fine…. till I got an eye infection and it changed my perspective of lens care after the risk of losing my eyesight. I was so stubborn and determined to look pretty…
Random Music: Last Chrisumasu~ By Naomile
Her name got me really confused when I asked the shop keeper of WoodsWould for the artist of the Japanese song that was playing at that point of time. At some point of time she really sounds like she’s acting angelic, but heck, it’s Christmas songs! and it’s Japanese! On a side note, Have you guys heard about Hikaru Utada’s live stream concert? It will be on ustream, and she has since announced that she will be taking a break : ( (or maybe quitting alltogether… Noooooooo) http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wl1 Random Update: KNN my WoW download suddenly became 6 gig more to go again! Wahliew!
Of Weddings and Parents
Someone told me earlier on, that weddings are actually held for the parents. Which I totally agree with, and is exactly what I’m doing. Some parents like to say something like they want the daughter to be married over with a loud shebang to make it seem like their daughter’s really wanted, but honestly, it’s all about 面子, and I’m perfectly fine with that. Some people like using the “It’s my wedding, or theirs?!” when they think that their parents are too demanding. Nothing wrong with that, and I think i’ve even used that myself before… but after much thought, I just want my parents happy. My parents have given me everything I’ve wanted and…
My life is boring
So my life has been put on hold because my laptop is down and in the arms of my selected Apple Service centre. I sincerely hope that they tell me they can’t fix the issue (motherboard? Gfx?) and offer me an option to upgrade. Yay. Fat hope. HAHAHAHA. Oh well. *twiddle thumbs* I’m bored shitless and I miss work. Can I has an iMac please? *blinks*

Cataclysm
I think I went ding dong already, or got swept up by some weird game fever. On top of Donkey Kong on Wii that I’ve been bugging the fiance to play with me every night, I actually… Updated WoW to Frozen Throne for USD $10. Then. I pre-ordered the expansion Catcalysm for like SGD $59 with 2x movie tickets free from tip-it.sg. And right now i’m downloading the 12.5gb installation file. -__-” I forsee lotsa money saved cos i’ll always be home liao. Worse, Monster Hunter 3 is out. *gulp* MCD’s gonna make loads of money from our home orders.

China Glaze – Stellar swatch
This is a very neutral glittery shade, and opaque in two coats. Perfect base for OPI’s Bling on the Bling if you don’t want to have to use like 4-5 coats of that. Has a warm tinge to it, can’t quite put a finger to it…. maybe rose-gold kindda shade to me. ——— Sidenote: I’m as happy as a lark right now – muahahahha. My tickets are booked, and it’s…. 5 months to the trip (not honeymoon), and 6 months to the wedding! : D (The honeymoon is slated in Dec 2010 – Jan 2011) *does the happy macdonald clap* *scurries off to earn more money* XD
Random Update
You know, since i figured this blog isn’t exactly overly public, I might as well jot down some senseless random spur-of-the-moment things sometimes. : D And use some singlish too lah. I wonder how people get through using WYSIWYG for some stuff (okay i used to do that when i was doing some shit on geocities i think and i still use it sometimes for dreamweaver). I actually blog in HTML… cos I find WYSIWYG editors really annoying sometimes. And it’s not like you need php to blog. : | I’m thinking of a good way to teach my clients some basic HTML so that not everyone comes back to me for help when they…
Eat Pray Love
“We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy’s fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of fold, begging for pennies from every passerby, unaware that his fortune was right under him the whole time. Your treasure – your perfection – is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the busy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.” – Elizabeth Gilbert
Applied! Corporation Tiara
We finished halloween at 1am and slept at 3+. for some funny reason we couldn’t get to sleep. AND WE WOKE UP AT 7 TO FLY DOWN TO TPY HDB HUB. I’ve never seen the traffic on PIE so smooth before. We made it there in like 9 minutes! Breakfast at Yakun. I was holding my stomach ache from 8am all the way till 3pm. Bleargh! Somehow my tummy reacts really horribly to breakfast, but I love eggs too much to let this go. : x Q0036, and it was fast and painless. But somewhat sleepy. The day before we were some what surprised by the fact that all the higher levels were taken up…
