The last time I went to New York was at year 2000. But this hotel that we stay in.....omg.....in chinese saying we say "mo lei gong gum yuen" - BLOODY FAR!!! from civilisation in Long Island....Apparently it takes 45 mins to get to the city by train.....since I've been to New York before I didn't bother going downtown...thank god there's a mall which has quite some important shops like Bath n BOdy works and Macy's there.....

Thank you uncle Rictor for your time!!!

While waiting for the number, of course it was photo session time...

(19 photos in the slideshow)

The session was quite quick...thought that it might prolong till noon...but we finished approximately 10am.......Then we thought some photograph sessions would be good....so we went to a place near the Pullman Hotel....where there's a lake and mini burj al-arab,led by POny......Jeremy and I had fun being photographed....while the rest of the family and friends waited patiently for us.....Thanks guests!!!!

After the photo session, we proceeded to Shah Alam area for Thai lunch.....Lunch finished approximately 1pm....Went back home to pack for Hong Kong trip in the nite!!!

Overall, it's a wonderful day accompanied by loved ones.....that's all which matters.....

Pampering Day - 19 October 2010

One more day ...... before I change my status to "MARRIED" legally......

So started the day with some hairdo....recommended by Amanda in Damansara Perdana....great hairstylist - Ivan...did a soft highlight - purplish and blowed the hair, hoping that it would last me until the next day....Think the hair only survived 30%....hahaahha.....

Then proceeded to Klang for facial with mom-in-law in Herbalife....

Today was the day we'd decided to pay for the wedding venue - Grand Dorsett (Sheraton Subang before) Paid a downpayment of RM5k. And subsequently, another RM5k a month later....

So the whole day passed with events that I'd only my lunch during dinner.....

And packed for Hong Kong trip for tomorrow....

Slept at 1am...

Hunting-for-ROM dress-day - 18 October 2010

After much thoughts, I felt that the blue dinner dress that I'd bought in Sungei Wang wasn't that suitable for a ROM and thoght that maybe I should just be conventional and stick to beige/white.
I'd started the dress hunt in September 2010, when I went down to Singapore. During this trip, I'd to thank Irene ( Kitson's wife), Jocelyn, Jasmine and Serena for their patience and feedbacks to hunt the dress with me. Irene took me to Marina Square where renowned Singapore bridal designer Daniel Yam is. I kinda like a white short dress there...but it was said to be simple....Was on the verge of buying it but Serena's opinion sort of made sense.....the dress is too simple.

And during this Singapore trip, I'd also manage to go back Malaysia to have a glimpse what Malaysia had to offer. Went to Tangs, they offered Daniel Yam, the price much cheaper after conversion. So if anyone is looking for Daniel Yam's range, it's better off in Malaysia. Tangs also offered nice dinner dresses. But none of them really caught my eye, mainly because they were all other beautiful colours other than white/beige ^-^

And then came the last minute excitement!! Because as of 18 October (registration on 20 Oct) and I'm still without a dress!!!! I'd read in the Bride magazine that this shop Marry Merry offered some pretty dresses. At that time was close to 4pm, I tried on a couple. Liked one of them very much, but there wasn't any for my size.....so in the end, I'd chosen THE ONE....which wasn't to my only 90% of my liking....but since it's a last minute thing, I'd to accept the fact that time is of challenge to me. On top of that, I'd to beg the seamstress to alter for me in that one day, as I'd to collect the dress tomorrow!!!

And Kelvin arrived from Doha, we met him in One Utama. Amanda joined. The whole family helped me in getting my accessories, shoes and even did manicure/pedicure there. Thanks guys for your time!!!
