(Crazy night out)

I've officially survived my hen's party! It was pretty crazy!

My bachelorette evening started with... *drumroll* a pole and lap dancing class! Woohoo! We went to Bobbi pole's studio at queen street for the class. I was so excited when the girls revealed what we were gonna do.

So we learnt some pole techniques. And let me tell you, pole dancing is freaking hard! Lol. I kept sliding down my own pole cause of my sweaty palms haha. Realizing our difficulties, our instructor asked me (the bride) if I wanted to move to lap dance and I was more than happy to. And we learnt a lap routine to the song Red Velvet. It was fun =D I hope I can remember and use some of the moves soon! *snicker*

After lots of sensual (and maybe awkward haha) dancing, we were ready to change into our sexy school girl uniforms! Of course, the girls dressed me up with a bride's veil and the ever classic bachelorette sash. And they were all so sporting, wearing super cute and geeky frames.
Some even tied their hair in pigtails. =D

We hit Clarke quay and drew loads of attention just walking to our dinner place. Ironically, we settled for hooters for food. Quite a few customers mistook us as the waitresses lol. So after dinner, came part 2 of my crazy night. The bachelorette games and dares! Basically, I had to pick these truth or dare cards and do whatever that was instructed. And oh man, some were super crazy! But, I'm proud to say that I did almost all of 'em! How sporting is that! =D

Some of the highlights:
- Getting a random guy's number
- Kissing Sophie on the lips hahaha
- Getting spanked by Joy (she was surprisingly reluctant lol)
- Buying a drink for a dorky guy!
- Dancing and showing my moooves
- Flashing my undies to the girls
- Pinching a random guy's butt!

And the list goes on!

We ended the night taking some awesome photos and drinking at Wala's. Ame and joy bought me a flaming to drink! My first time ever! *milestone achieved* haha. It was truly a great night of good fun. And I'm happy that I didn't get drunk!

Home Therapy and Hen's night!

After a tiring week at work, it feels so good to recharge at home. I decided to stay in to rest so that I have enough energy for my hen's party tonight! Woohoo! *so excited*

I can't wait to find out what we're doing! The girls have been awfully secretive about the whole thing. I'm not complaining cause it makes it more fun, with that element of surprise.

What I do know: I gotta dress up like a sexy school girl!

Ooooo. Kinky lol. Anyways, I spent the morning trying to pull an outfit together. I even looked for inspirations off the web! Here's the final look:

Am I ready for the night? Bring it on girls!

Good weekend.

Chilled at Ann Siang with the ex-Springers on Friday =D We found a stylish place called Cafe Chocolat with nice decor. I had a great time with the awesome company.

Saturday was fruitful with Crowne plaza and Chere weddings!

And Sunday was filled with room furniture planning and shopping!

(Home decorating)

We just had our first furniture shopping experience! Visited Ikea to get a dresser and drawer for our room together.

And I'm happy that we found just what we need! And it was all for $285 =D Can't wait to see it assembled in the room. I'm gonna have my own storage and personal space! Yay!

I love shopping at ikea. It's a world filled with endless ideas and inspirations for home decorating. When I'm there, I see so many things that we could use for our future home. It's going to be fun styling our new place next time!

Details details!

Our day is drawing near! It feels sooo surreal. I can't believe the most important day of our lives is happening in a month's time.

I'm glad that we've covered most of our wedding to-do list. It helps to start early and spread our tasks during the planning period. This means much lesser stress closer to our wedding.

We actually met Alina from CP together with Wei Wei today. Basically, she went through a checklist with us to confirm on the details of our occasion. We touched on so many things! Including:

- What's provided under our wedding package, including additional perks!
- Wedding theme + table + napkin colours
- Ballroom layout
- Additional decor
- Programme flow
- Food and drinks

And alot more! We're pretty much all set for our arrangements with Crowne Plaza for our luncheon!

And I'm excited after the discussion with the chere team on the programme flow + decor of the foyer and hopea room. We were sharing and brainstorming on ideas for the reception table and hopea room. Really happy with what we came up with! There's gonna be more styling, personal touches and pom poms!

And! We're gonna have a mini dessert bar too =D yaaaay! Super glad that we chanced upon Butter Studio at T3 earlier this week. They have yummy and cute cupcakes that can be displayed at a dessert bar. I'm a sucker for food that looks good haha.

It's gonna be wonderful =)

Snapshots of the week!

Nom nom time with sis @ Sushi Tei. Their aburi sushi is not bad!

All smiles for this happy occasion.

Mum looking at boy fondly. Aww.

More wedding DIY!

After today's meeting with Red Petals florist, I suddenly felt inspired to start my wedding DIY again! Maybe a part of me just wants to prove that it's really possible to personalize a wedding without spending too much!

I was so motivated that I made three creations =)

I love love love them! I'm so happy with my DIY that I shared them immediately with G and the girls! *contented and accomplished*

A happy caption can really make a difference.

Just the two of us.

Our very own handmade ring holder.

(Keeping memories)

As I was browsing through Gretchen Rubin's book on her happiness project, I read about the importance of keeping happy memories vivid. I absolutely believe in this and that is why I love capturing moments with photography.

As more and more happy moments come to pass, our memory cannot possibly remember everything. We may come to forget about the precious times which we once thought unforgettable. But if they are captured by photos, we can always recall them easily.

As the cliche saying goes:
A picture says a thousand words.

And photos are the best way to tell a story about you, your family, friends and loved ones.

Here are some that I took this weekend!

G and I randomly shopping at M&S food hall. Absolute love!

 

G's recommendation for nice iced tea. The packaging has already won me over.

Kylie in groggy state during Saturday brekkie.

And yes! She was watching tv. Doraemon to be exact hehe.

G+Y: Yummy bugis steamboat for a raining evening!

I love how this looks.

The curry fish head's tongue was intriguing me during Sunday brunch haha.

I finally know what a plaster prata is!

My favourite chocolate cookies for Saturday night =D

I think hydrangeas are soooo pretty.

Remember your memories vividly.

It's Friday! Woohoo! The week just flew by so quickly.

I'm just snuggling in bed thinking about this week's favourite moments.

Well, I met my sis and we had some awesome steamboat and dessert time together. We had my new found favourite craving: Soghurt's lychee yogurt ice cream. It is insanely refreshing and yummy. I can't get enough of it! I don't think I've had such a strong desire for a dessert in a while.

I had some great personal time at kinokuniya one day. I had a quick scan through this meaningful book called the 'happiness project'. It was inspiring enough for me to buy the book for my sis. For some reason, I think it'll be a good read for her soul. Anyways, I also read flower arrangement books that contained so many creative and unique ideas for beautiful, nature decor. *hearts* I want to work on some when it's less busy!

It was dear Yiwen's birthday today!

 

G and I finally tried the Japanese pasta place at city link. Yes, he was having a craving too! The food wasn't brilliant though.

I wanted to hunt for yummy (hopefully lychee flavoured) yoghurt but we couldn't find any! But we ended up having fun at marks and Spencer's food hall. They have all sorts of interesting yum yums, sauces, frozen food etc. And I love their colourful and unique packaging! We bought sauces for our upcoming BBQ party. I love shopping like that with G. Whee!
