Its all about Marriage.

If you're intending to get married soon, this post might be useful for you.
If you're reading for the sake of reading it, this post might seems boring to you.

If you're married, this post might make you recall the moments when you're planning for a marriage.

Before i begins, i'll want to let you know that if you think marriage is only about both you and your partner, then you're WRONG.

I used to have that thinking too. But in the process of planning, i've realized the sentence is just bullshit. Yes, its gonna be your partner and your wedding but hey, in many other ways, you've to stick to what the elderly said.

One word, TRADITIONAL.

Yes, im not that pure traditional. Certain things of it i do believe and i will follow. But of course, many of it, i've disapproved.

If you're gonna be stubborn thinking that its all about your partner and you, you wont be happy with your planning and probably the outcome too.

1. MONEY

If you've no money, forget about getting married. Of course if you're or your partner is from a well-to-do family, life will be easier for both of you. If not, you'll be struggling worse than those earthworms. 

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY!

EVERYTHING NEEDS MONEY!

Yeap. Every decision you've chose, you've to make a deposit. Eg: invitation cards, wedding banquet, ROM, gowns, photographers, cars and more.

Usually for renting of gowns and suits and wedding car, they will need S$500 - S$800 deposit. Of course its refundable but that's the amount excluding the rental of it. As for the rest of the deposits, of course its non-refundable as its part of the payment.

So dont forget, having a budget is very important. So you can work within it and not exceeding it.

2. SUPPORTIVE FAMILY MEMBERS

Yes, having supportive family members will make your life better too! I mean in terms of planning. Im thankful to have them, constantly reminding me about my bad habits, helping me in many other ways too! Of course, in terms of financial. Families are the greatest love that you can ever had.

Before planning, both have to announce to the parents about it. Just in case if there's any objections or so.

Its normal for couples to have big fights during the process of planning and discussions. Yes, it happens to me. It can be a daily thing too! Of course, it can be really tiring and stressful. Many times when we quarreled, my parents will be there to pull us up again. There are such times when you really feel like giving up and wanna cancel everything. So i always tell myself that since i've come that far, i've overcome so many obstacles, this time i can overcome it too.

As for me, its double stressful cause i've to worried about my school event too. Brokedown once infront of HG and i felt like as if im a crazy woman. I cant wait for all of it to end.

3. EGO

At this point of time, you've to learn to let down your ego. Yes! It kinda kills me because i've a big egoistic husband-to-be and i've to always give in! I believe i've said more than 20 times to HG, telling him to loosen his ego. It can be really difficult to work with such people because they're too self-centered. They do what they likes, they want what they want etc. When its the other way round, and they disagree with your suggestion, they will want you to follow their suggestion instead. Thats when argument begins.

Usually human with big ego, they wont give in. Be it you're the wife or whoever. They wont means they wont. Even if they do, you can tell from their expression and tone that they give in unwillingly.

Yes, sometimes i feel like a man when im a woman. Having to give in and suck up all these. But thinking of the future, i've no choice but to start adapt to it. Of course, meanwhile to constantly remind HG to loosen up his ego.

Happy Dragon Year!

Woke up early to granny's house to have my favorite mee hoon before going over to my father's side.

Remember i mentioned about getting my nails done before wedding photoshoot? Yea, The Good Earth Nail Spa. I've yet to remove them till now!

Dinner @ Manhattan after manicure.

Cousin took this for us :)
Naked fat face of me.

Preparation.

Few weeks back bought a scrapbook kit and wedding certificate holder from Precious Moments. The scrapbook kit comes in 3 types, Wedding, Sweet memories and Baby. Its exactly like those scrapbook kits where you can get it from Popular Bookstore & paper market for like S$50? I got mine for $39.90 only!

The wedding certificate holder isnt light like it looks like it. Haha! If im not wrong, should be S$39.90 or $49.90.

Not forgetting the soft toys to be tied infront of the wedding car. People who know me should be able to guess it right hur? ;) Haha! I've been searching for it for a longgggggggg time! Even those Singaporeans that do sell it, it costs about S$150! *faints* As usual, im a good and skillful blog-shopper. I got mine from Hong Kong for S$79 only! I mean for a pair yea ;)

YES! Stitch and Angel! ^^
The wedding gown look similar to mine too anyway. Haha! So yea, expected it right? I can hear people saying "Stitch again -.-". HAHAHA! Oh! Pardon for the pictures. I've been neglecting the DSLR cause have to take up SD memory card, upload the huge files then edit. Uploading into the lappy takes quite some time too. But i guess that day the photographer should be will take a clear shot of it ;)

Next, self-designed ROM invitation card by HG! Click on it to view his portfolio! Of course, he havent been updating it. Haha! He went to get it printed so yea. As usual, im lazy to use DSLR. The day when im not lazy, im will re-take shots of it ^^

As for our wedding cards, we got it from T-dragon. Well, if your hotel recommend you there to get it done, PLEASE dont! We kinda got scammed due to the pricing for the printing. HG found the cheapest printing "factory" online and then realized T-dragon actually send in orders to them. Another word, Partnership. T-dragon really suck your money -.-

The front cartoons' pose looks familiar yea?

 Hehe ^^

 For the details, we chose a unique template and not those common ones that comes without any icons. Common ones look rather boring so we chose something cute. Hahaha! Since our theme is white and gold, so we chose gold printing too.

So thats about it ;) More to come! Stay tune!

A woman-soon-to-be.

Cant wait for this week to end. No idea why this year i cant feel the Chinese New Year mood though i went Chinatown already. Each year is getting more and more moodless. Probably due to the weather, school work and personal matters.

Everyday i've new worries to face and to handle. Am worried about not reaching 80 pax for my school event. 'Prease' help to purchase the tickets guys! We've cut down 10 bucks from the usual price already. *puppy eyes*

Less than 3 months, i will be graduating. Kinda dislike it cause have to make wise decision like which path to take, where to go etc. So afraid to make wrong decision.

Just a short update here. Will update more after this Friday :)

Wedding Photoshoot.

So out of 287 pictures taken, we must choose 25 pictures to be printed on the album. Of course we had a hard time choosing them. Sadly, we have to edit the soft-copies ourselves. Hoping to get the disc with all 287 pictures that we took. But it cost S$800! Well, the usual price is supposed to be 2k.

Just some basic edits so dont expect the pictures to be perfect. Will re-edit when im using my old lappy. Im still unfamiliar with Photoshop. Prefer Photoscape more. I'm not wearing heels in all the photos. Since it was an outdoor shoot, they suggested i should wear a pair of comfy shoes. That was why im slightly shorter than HG. Hahaha!

So after much edits, here are the pictures :)
Note: View more pictures in my Facebook album.

Thats all ;)
