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!!!

When Ho meets Ho.... - 17 October 2010

Today is my first day of my leave which also marks a very important and anxious day, as both the in-laws are meeting each other...I don't know how other couples feel, but am I nervous....maybe it's the anxious feeling of whether there'll be "empty" moments where no one is talking etc....but it turned out quite alright....
We had it at Ducking in Jaya One....

Didn't take much pictures as we were concentrating on the conversations during dinner :)

My DIL and MIL ....

Brandon (Jeremy's brother) and wife....

13 June 2010

As Jeremy wasn't feeling too well, I went to have a look at more bridal shops.....Think I"m overdoing it....but somehow still didn't have the right feel yet......

I went to Touch - errrm.....somehow they didn't give me the feel at all....one of the bottom in my list......what feeling??....think it's the feel which makes you feel that it's safe to hand over a good photo taking session to them....plus a range of bridal gowns.......

Sophia - after discount...it still goes at RM4k......but so far my considerations are :-

1) Precious
2) Keep Gallery
3) Micasa

So let's see in my next leave....for the final decision.....Have to thank Pony for all her time and sharing her opinions with me on the bridal shops......

12 June 2010

Another year wiser.....today marks my 32nd birthday.....like any other year, didn't feel any difference.....

The day started with receiving a bouquet of lilly from Jeremy....(after much of complains ....ahahhaha.....) tq dear!!!

The afternoon continued with a delicious home-cooked food by Aunty wah....TQ so much for your effort!!! The steam chicken was excellent...and so were everything else....



Later in the noon, we proceeded to KLCC to see the designer wedding bands......

Cartier : the design's tremendous and reasonable as well.....but it's too "thick" which makes it uncomfortable on the hand......

Bvlgari : almost the same design like Cartier....and uncomfortable :(

This year, request was to eat Western food.....

So Jeremy brought me to Nero Teca at Changkat Bukit Bintang.....

Good food......we ordered piggy.....poor piggy.....small piglet i mean...which costs RM180...omg...most exp piggy i've ever eaten!!!THis was a bit overpriced....

And a plate of Spaghetti Carbonara.....

(Both of us didn't bring camera)

Ended the day by going to Neway Karaoke Subang.....it was a great celebration as I got to celebrate it with all my loved ones....my family and Jeremy.....

11 June 2010

Finally had the guts to "remove" my keloid on my chest!! Went to Ranjit Skin Specialist in SS15.....injection costs RM80....ouucch.....not as painful as I thought....but the after-effect of the injection was more painful of the injection....probably Jeremy's hands were numbed cos I was so scared of the injection!!!!! THe next is laser treatment after 6 wks....

Later in the noon, Jeremy and I went to have a look at the bridal shops....

Casamia : The salesperson was really good....think she has the best service so far but the package is way too exp : close to RM5k. THe gowns were nice as well..

Micasa : The boss of this shop was there....Gosh, he can talk!!!!! The gowns were nice...but it's "separated" into "Rm2999 gown" or the "RM3699 gowns" They were having a bridal fair and if you were to sign up by that weekend...it's a reduction of RM300 which makes it RM3399...by far one of the cheapest in these big studios...but really felt uncomfortable with the boss talking.....makes me feel like "all talk but no action"...

In the nite, celebrated my bday in Tenji Japanese buffet restaurant in Solaris....

10 June 2010

We went shopping for our hotels for dinner....

Sheraton Subang, Saujana : These 2 hotels look good.....

We went to Mid Valley to have a look at wedding bands again...

Love & Co : The range LVCpromise looks good as well....

Goldheart : Not our type.....

We ended the day by watching Shrek 3D!!!Nice....

09 June 2010 - Going to JPN in Putrajaya

We went to JPN in Putrajaya to get ourselves registered.....
We are registering on 20 Oct 2010 - which marks 20.10.(2010)

Then we proceeded on to have a look at Equatorial Hotel, Bangi for our wedding dinner....Was quite interested in the Garden wedding but it could only fit 250 guests...The place is farrrrrrr.......with the help of Jeremy's GPS.....probably there's a shorter way.....


Since we were in that vicinity....why not Kajang Satay???



Our next itinerary was to look at wedding bands....Proceeded to Pavilion Tiffany & Co, DeGem and Schoeffel.....

Verdict :-

Tiffany & Co : Only platinum and didn't have the designs that we both wanted

DeGem : Tops our list in wedding bands.....our picks are http://www.infinity-rings.com/#/infinity?id=14/">Inifinity - Rio and Athens...


Schoeffel (by Poh Kong) : Somehow the designs were just ok....

Following the Chinese tradition - 26 May 2010

I believe it's a usual tradition in the Malaysian culture that after the proposal the groom seeks the bride's parents consent of a suitable date of the registrar of marriage.

Obviously girls will never understand how petrifying the feelings are cos we will never go through the whole ordeal!!! On this date, Jeremy seeks my parents' consent for his proposal for the registration / marriage in my house, after we'd dinner in Serdang....Well done dear!!! Proud of you....
