That's When I Love you - Aslyn

Should I use this song for Holy Matrimony march out??

PS Photos in SG

We had a pre-wedding photo shoot session with Bernard on 4 Jul.. It was part of the AD package that we had with him.. Wanted to remove it from the package, but thought that since I had no photos of my AD WG and EG might as well just have some photos on it.. I guess on AD, it will be super duper jam packed with activities to do proper PS..

Some sneaks of the photos taken..

We are now part of history!!

Holy Matrimony Invitation

DIY-ed my own holy matrimony invitation!! 

Since our HM is a small scale event, with about 30 invited guests.. We just the normal photo printing shop to print it for us.. 1 piece is about $0.70, slightly more than our wedding inserts.. AH is making some fuss out of it.. but no choice.. Not practically to go over JB, ask T&T to print as they can only print min. 50 pieces.. Don't want the remaining 20+ pieces to collect dust anyway...

counting down.. 2 more weeks

:D

Wedding Inserts

I super heart our wedding inserts!!!

And the best part is they are not expensive at all!! We collected our wedding cards from T-Dragon and they showed us the samples of their wedding inserts.. AH & I were totally not impressed at all, and they are expensive.. 

Back to my trusty SGBrides Forum, managed to find a cheap and good quality printer across the crossway.. Quite a number of BTBs that I know of, printed their inserts from them.. One of the cheapest printing companies!

Most of my friends who received our invitation cards commented that they looked expensive.. Due to the full colour and insertion of our photo... Super loved cheap yet expensive looking stuff!!

Food Tasting

I realised that I have yet to post a post on food tasting..

We had our food tasting on 30 June.. and was quite worried that AH could not arrived in time as he was on reservist that week..

Dinner was supposed to start at 7.30pm but food was only served about 8pm as we waited for my sis who worked late..and AH came late due to his reservist & jam on the road..

Five Happiness Combination 

五福临门大拼盘

(Fresh Prawn Salad, Marinated Spicy Jellyfish, Braised Duck, Pipa Bean Curd, Deep-fried Crispy Prawn)

The food portion was just enough for 10 people, even thou AH's dad complained that the portion was too little for 10.  Braised duck was surprisingly tender and 卤的够味.  The only complaint was the jelly fish was too spicy for our liking, given our feedback to ask the kitchen to make it less spicer on our AD.. 

Braised Shark’s Fin with Crabmeat

蟹 肉 烩 生 翅

The soup was really salty!! We were quite disappointed with this dish as AH has been craving for shark's fin soup for the longest time.. Spoke to the chef after the dinner and he explained to us that the stock base used for the soup was boiled for a very long time and all the essence of the ingredients used are in the stock.. He was really proud of this dish I can say.. 

Poached Live Prawns

白 灼 游 水 生 虾

The prawns were really fresh and sweet!! Love this dish man! The only hassle was peeling the shell off the prawn.. I think this is the most worth it dish among the prawn choice.. The brides of OH thread was commenting that the other prawn dishes used frozen prawns to cook, so not that fresh.. The soy sauce dip was very yummy too, can say 锦上添花！

Steamed Garoupa in Hong Kong Style

香 港 式 蒸 石 斑

The garoupa was kind of tough, but still edible.. The sauce was just nice, not too sweet or too oily.. Think the older folks like it.

Stewed Pork Ribs in Homemade Sauce

京 烤 骨

The portion for this was huge!! I couldn't finish my portion of this dish.. The sauce is nice, but it would be even better if there's a bowl of white rice to go along with it.. This dish was not very well received because it's too "gelar" for our liking.. But unique dish I would say, haven't ate this at weddings..

Braised Sliced Abalone with Whole Conpoy and Spinach

鲍 片 扣 柱 甫 菠 菜

The conpoys were too salty but I guess that's the nature of that ingredient... Usually conpoy are used in Cantonese dishes for soup.. The abalone compliment well with the salty nature of the conpoy.. 

Stewed Double Happiness E-fu Noodles

双 喜 焖 伊 面

No comments cause as I only took a bite, was too full from the rest of the dishes to eat that.. But from the feedback from the rest, it was not bad.. :)

Chilled Mango Puree with Pomelo and Sago

杨 枝 甘 露

My all-time favorite dessert!! Just that it wasn't chilled enough.. 

Can't wait for AD!!!

梁文音 "情人知己"

像一個孩子賴在你懷裡　願二十四小時形影不離
兩個人的悄悄話　一輩子說不煩聽不膩
仰頭看你微笑瞇起眼睛　溫柔的好像愛情的詩句
你無條件包容我　被疼愛的感覺很快樂

[Chorus]
我~非常愛你　非常確定　你像情人　又像知己
多麼幸運能遇見你　是上天賜給我的福氣
那種開心　那種窩心　那種安心
幸福很難　我相信　只要我們夠努力
沿途搖呀晃呀也都是美景

你有改不掉的粗心大意　我有偶爾發作的小任性
因為相愛就可以　對每個小毛病　有耐心

每次想你我就更愛自己　原來思念也可以很溫馨
世上最近的距離　是兩個人的心　在一起

[Chorus]
我~非常愛你　非常確定　你像情人　又像知己
多麼幸運能遇見你　是上天賜給我的福氣
那種開心　那種窩心　那種安心
幸福很難　我相信　只要我們夠努力
沿途搖呀晃呀也都是美景

我~非常愛你　非常確定　愛的甜蜜　愛的貼心
每次爭吵都要練習　壞情緒轉過身就失憶
非常愛你　深深愛你　沒有懷疑
幸福很難　我相信　只要我們夠努力
沿途搖呀晃呀也都是美景

每次看你就有一份安定　知道今後我哪兒也不去
在我們的小天地　專心的愛著你

Hen's Night!

My lovely & awesome bunch of JM and one of my girlfriends came together to organize a hen's night for me.. Had to have the party much earlier before AD coz I need to prepare for my upcoming exams in 3rd week of Jul and HY is going for a holiday next week till end Jul.. 

Dinner was @ Waraku (one of my fave Jap restaurant) and we managed to get a room for ourselves.. Thanks CL!  Was terribly late as I was doing a pre-wedding videoshoot and the shoot was kind of delayed due to weather & other unforeseen circumstances..

Look at how they dress me up!

While waiting for our desserts, the ladies started their tasks for me to complete.. Prior to that, the ladies presented me with a gift that is a sexy nightie to wear on my wedding night.. and Waraku is nice enough to throw in a free scoop of ice cream for me!

The games began while having our desserts! 

CL actually asked AH prior the meet up and came up with a list of questions for him.. & I am supposed to have "telepathy" with AH to make sure I come out with the same answer as him.. 

Got the first question wrong and they made me take photo with the most "handsome" guy at the next room.. Thankfully the people next door already "arrowed" a guy without me asking.. The moment I stepped into their room, all the friends just pointed at the guy.. Mission accomplished effortlessly!

Next we adjourned to Esplanade, initially wanted to chill out at Harry's bar but the place was fully occupied and we moved on to Sauce. Initially they wanted to "sabo" me by asking me to take photos with random guys in the bar, but came a bunch of laywers from one of the top law firms who volunteered themselves.. They wanted to treat us to beer and sit with us, we gracefully declined.. The plans that the girls had for me were effortlessly "performed" by this random group of drunk lawyers.. Have to say some of them are good looking despite being irritably drunk..

The last part of the party was they actually arranged AH to come to surprise me.. But I saw him from far before he even arrived.. Epic failure! But I really appreciate their effort for arranging AH to the party, saved us from the drunk lawyers.. They immediately left after seeing him arrive.. LOL!

The best part of Hen's party is Gabriel Lynch popped by (thanks to the drunk lawyers) and serenaded me with a song! He played the guitar and sang a song for me! 

Had a great night out with the ladies. Thanks babes for the wonderful night!!! SO BLESSED! :)
