Wedding updates (Evening Gown)

This week has been really busy for me at work, as there is a major meeting held in our office, plus my usual deadline to meet for work. All the higher-up management flew in from the different countries offices. I have been going into the office earlier almost everyday. Thankfully, being busy makes the week passed by very quickly, which is good good. (",)

I finally met up with Kim yesterday since our last appointment in February. Took a half day leave yesterday. We discussed about the design, type of fabric and colour that I would like for my EG. I told her that I wanted to have fuchsia colour and something in mermaid style. Kim let me tried on a few pieces of EG with different fabrics and cuttings.

In the end, I settled for a halter-neck, bare back style, which we both agreed looks good on me. As for the type of fabric, she suggested to use satin and on top of it will be a layer of tulle to achieve the "mermaid shape" as satin fabric itself will be soft and flowy, clinging onto the skin, thus alone cannot achieve the shape that I want.

The colour that I've choosen for the inner satin fabric will be a lighter shade of pink, whereas the tulle will be in a bright fuchsia colour. Exactly what I want! I had a hard time deciding on the colour, as I wanted fuchsia (loud pink) but yet does not want to look too wayang. At the end of the day, I wanted something glamorous and elegant, not something too OTT.

Crossing my fingers real hard that it will turn out to be my dream EG. And I'm really happy to fixed my first fitting on the 29 May and our pre-wedding PS with Andrew Tay will be on the 16 July! Gotta note these dates down in my calendar. My appointed MUA is Kelly.
Yippee!!! Looking forward excitedly towards my first fitting and PS.

And oh ya, I need to source for my wedding heels. Before Kim tells me how many inches that my heel has to be, I told her that I'm comfortable with 3 1/2 inches, hehe... cheeky me. She then laughed and said ok lah, between 3 1/2 to 4 inches is perfectly alright. And she did reminded me not to get those with "claw-like" diamonates as these will hook onto the cancan of the gown.

Overall, having Kim as my designer and overall bridal stuff coordinator, makes me feel rest assured that I am in good hands.

After the appointment, with some time on my hand, I went down to Sim Lim Square to get my Digi-cam. Been waiting for so long since I missed the recent IT show held at Suntec. Not enough funds then, keke... I did my homework and luckily asked my sis if she had lobang. And she told me that her ex-boss recently bought the same exact model that I want (Canon IXUS 80IS) at a lower than retail price. Bought it at S$385 (incl gst) whereas retail is selling for S$429 (which I have no idea if it includes gst or not.) She recommended me to Alan Photoshop @ SLS Level 1, and to look for Anthony.

I know I know, most people thought if you purchase consumer electronic stuffs at SLS, you will surely kana chop carrots one. But my sis ex-boss said Alan Photo can be trust worthy, thus I gave it a benefit of a doubt. Anyway, I know what I want and did my homework. I'm sure its usually the ang mohs and tourists who kana chopped, hee... no offence though.

Yeah!! Finally got my digi-cam since the very last one I had got "drowned" during my Koh Samui trip, hahaha.... Now I have one to take pics of my fittings and all wedding related stuff. Am a happy gal now.

In the evening, tagged along with Baobei to SAFRA Club for a swim. Its been such a long time that I swim. I always find tranquility in the water, probably because I'm a Pisces. Anyway, nice amenities they have there. Bathrooms at Ladies were big and spacious. Locker room were clean and with pipe-in music, plus there is a hair-dryer, combs and even Johnson baby powder somemore, haha. But who will dare to use the combs there, lolzz..

We end the night with a sumptous dinner at Pepper Lunch at IMM. Have been lusting over its grilled beefburger steak for a long time. Delicious and fulfilling dinner. Yummy!
