Our Wedding Studio Photography finally uploaded!
2007-10-10 04:03:00
Finally, I managed to get some of the photos scanned. As we all know, photos taken by the bridal studio are most likely not given in soft copy. So the only way to share those photos are scanned the hard copy, and we only given 10 different set. Others photo are in albums format (not able to scan them). The outdoor pictures were taken in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. A lot of friends said our photos look nice, especially my make-up, very natural (As previously I heard from friends and a lot of people said bride looks a lot of different in bridal photography). Thanks to my make-up artist - Pei San; she is from Johor Bahru, but she do provide services in Singapore.That's all for now. I will write more on our Big Day in the following post. Stay tune!

Hartley says. So if a man you?re talking to at a party inches a little closer as you talk you know he wants to get to know you better and not as a friend.2) He speaks softlyWhen a man talks in a quieter voice, it?s an excellent sign.

Finally, all set and time to sit down, watch tv and write post.Turning on some tv program, coincidently, it was on some marriage reality show. The show showed couples from preparation to the wedding. One of the couple was very stressed during the process of preparation. They started to arguing, especially the future bride-to-be. At the day before the actual wedding, things got worse. Sadly, the wedding was called off.What are the reasons could lead to the Wedding to be called off?

Wedding Photography Oversea
2007-08-05 03:31:00
If you intend to take your wedding photography oversea, it is possible to do it now? There are a lot of Bridal Studio do offering this service now. However, the price for such a service is more cheap. It is because you need to pay to fly the whole team (the photographer, the makeup airtist, with another one or two staff) and pay for the accomodation. Sometimes, it is advisable to go in with other couples, the expenses will probably will be shared out. However, it is still not cheap. The other option is you look for some Bridal Studio that has branched in oversea. They will be able to arrange the photographer and makeup artist from the branch. Then probably will be cheaper. Another alternative is after you decide the location of your wedding photograph, you can find some local wedding photographer through internet. This probably is the cheapest way if you wan to have an oversea wedding photograph.There are several hot spots where couple choose to have their wedding photograph:1) Bali...

Far Away from Love
2007-07-29 03:49:00
It's has been a while that I not able to write as I was busy preparing my departure to USA. It is because of my current job, I have to be based in USA for 6-9 months. This is my first time to be away so long and so far away from my loved ones (my husband, Alvin; my parent and my friends).Since I graduated from my Bachelor Degree to before I met my husband, Alvin, I always dream to come to US to further studies and to experience a different environment other than Asia. Now I got a chance, although not for further studies, I got a chance to experience living in USA. However, after I came to USA, I don't feel so excited as I thought. Maybe this is because my loves ones are not with me. They are far far away.My friends, Lian and Hoong, always said that I am an amazing woman, always brave and tough. I also thought I am. Well, the truth is I also got my weakness - I still remember at the airport, Alvin, my parent and my mum-in-law were waving to me when I entering the immigration. I tri...

After getting few quotes for the wedding venue, which one I should choose? Before making any decision to sign the contract, you are advised to read the contract in details and make an appointment with the coordinator to view the venue which both of you like (at this time, you probably already screened down to 2-3 options).

Meeting with the coordinator also is very important because the coordinator is the one will help you with your wedding settings, update you about your wedding planning. You need to know and interact with the coordinator whether you are comfortable with him/her.Alvin and I have a very nice coordinator, Ms Sandy Lim (from The Oriental Singapore). She kept us inform and remind us on our wedding planning, such as when we couldn't decide the theme, she would inform us when there is wedding on specific theme on which date for us to drop by in order to view the specific settings.

2007-07-09 20:43:00
I was browsing some forums and found that there are a lot of doubt for "Meet The Parent s Session". Questions asked:1) When should be arranged for "Meet The Parents Session"?2) Where to meet?3) What to discuss?For Alvin and I, after we decide to get married. Alvin make the first move, to ask permission to marry me from my parent. This is because to show respect for his future parent-in-laws. Of course before he did that, I did mention to my parent or hint to my parent. This is to avoid anything unpleasant.After that, we choose an auspicious date to ROM (register of marriage). It was 18 July, 2006 (Hooray, 1st anniversary is nearby). Alvin and I decided not to do ROM and Traditional Wedding on the same day. There are few reasons:1)As we live in Singapore, only legally married couple can own a flat. We decided to ROM and got the flat ready before the Traditional Wedding.2)ROM together with Traditional Wedding will be very rush and tiring. So, we decided just a simple ROM and dinner wit...

Alvin and I meet in 2003. After three wonderful years of dating, we finally decided to tie knot. Alvin didn't give me any romantic proposal, it was very natural process and both of us know "It's time." Although most of the times I don't really mind whether there was any romantic proposal, but there is a tiny voice in my heart always would hope to have "a romantic moment in life".If you are a guy reading this, do bare in mind, gals are more emotional and romantic than guys - once a while do give them a warm surprise (doesn't mean it has to be grand or expensive act). A tiny act - waiting for her to knock off from work outside her office without telling her, would also warm her. She looks at you with surprise and smiles happily.Today our society are complicated, competitive and stressful. Are you both ready for marriage?This is a very important question. Marriage always give an impression of beautiful, happy and merry pictures of couples. Couples need to know marriage is not just ...
