I went to “A JOLLY AFFAIR”

I was helping a close friend of mine with wedding preparations. It was a honour to be invited to help because I view her like an Idol. Well we have worked with each other for quite a while and she has helped me in numerous ways. I am grateful for the things she has done for me.

So I helped with all the printed material, the invitations, the map, the signages, the place cards, table numbers, envelopes and menu cards. These were all designed by me and the Bride.

So 19.12.09 was the Solemnisation and this couple are very precise and are both perfectionist. They seriouly are!!! HA HA HA

 The event was held at TheLuxe Art Museum and it was a cosy little gallery directly next to The Cathay.

 

First the chairs were to be arranged, then the sound guys were there to fix up their stuff .

The caterers,  were dealing with the culinaries.

We have the florists with their beautiful flower arrangements.

Then the Groom had to leave to prepare and everything was coming into place.

Finally everything was set. I went on to place the table numbers and placecards. I was so nervous, I keep getting the table numbers wrong and the number of plates on the table. I am sure the caterer felt like killing me.

Well it’s a big event and I tend to get nervous. When everything was ready, we prepared to change into our outfits and went to get a quick bite.

Well, I had the important parts of the attire from Australia. The dress from Valley Girl, the Fascinator from Distinctive Acessories Brisbane, the necklace from Diva and the lace gloves from Paris, H&M. Stockings from Topshop and shoes from Mondo. I was well coordinated and it was the first time I felt the look was complete. Well it better be, it is my idol’s wedding!!!

I was pleased but my look reminded me of a courtesan’s strangely. Seriously, I must have watched too much of the movie, Cherie, for me to think this way.  Beautiful but really sad love story. Okay, back to the wedding.

Then the Bride & Groom and their parents arrived. Their mums especially are look like sisters and are very close. It was the first time, I saw the 2 fathers.

Well, the Bride in her Cream Dress (kinda of look like Alexander Mcqueen’s stiff shaped dresses) was beaming away and very cute!!! And The Groom was looking Suave!!! Wow, suits do wonders!!! (I am just kidding! What I meant was it enhance your good looks).

The Best Part of the Wedding was also the supportive friends and family that came dressed in the dress code, “Peaches & Cream”.

So this wedding let us meet up with friends we haven’t seen in a while, such as Sharon Khong, another which I looked up to. Wow and I was so glad that we could chat with her after a long time!!!

We had a good time!!! The food was really yummy!!!  We even had to dance “Wonder Girls’ Nobody” and it was hilarious but fun!!! Time passes quickly and we were reaching the end of the event.

I am Glad that the event lived up to its name. I have endless joy which I couldn’t express through words. I met so many new people and I had such a good time. This is really the best wedding I had been to so far.

Well, lastly to a match made in Heaven, your happiness will last you for eternity. May Jesus look over and bless you with good health and long years together ahead!!!

Brisbane Road Trip

Heya! Just came back from Brisbane! Not to long ago. I went for 12 days by Emirates, really incredible service and their ICE entertainment on the plane is really cool!!!

 

I went there with mum&dad and we all stayed at my aunt’s place! And made friends with a TIGER!!!

Oh and BTW, here is a picture of my parents and my Aunt Beng Hong.

So here we have DAD, MUM and AUNT BENG HONG (MUM’s eldest sister).

Brisbane is a peaceful, cosy and sunny country. It has some similarities with Singapore. e.g. I see a lot of asians there, and when you are in the city well the sky scrapers sort of remind you of Singapore too.

But of course there is a lot of differences like their shopping centres ans their supermarts are really huge. They have many handy craft shops and life style shops.  I love their libraries because you can borrow up to 20 books and the limit is 4 weeks!!! Unless you see a sticker that says “Fast Book” then you must return that in a week!!!

Their transport service is excellent, it always arrives on the time show on the board especially for bus servicies!!! The Train service is very cool too as they are actually trains (I mean not like our dear MRT) and they are really clean and comfty!!!

It is kind of easy to get around except their street signs are not very visible unlike ours. So you can easily miss it so it isn’t very helpful at night.

Then on Wednesday night, a town club near my aunt’s place has beef and pork special so we will usually head there for dinner. Have a drink or two, a chat and see the people dancing. And I will be there playing the Jackpot machines! They are really fun!

In the day, the club hold ruby matches and other forms of sports so here I am in front one of their courts.

What is there else to do? Well check out their flea markets because the Australians are great craft people!!! I love their stuff!!! They are all kind of cool!!!

There is so many flea markets but it’s a pity I couldn’t go to all of them. So I went to the Young Designers’ Market which happens every 2nd Sunday of the month. It has 70 stalls with really aspiring designers. This is at little Stanley street.  Grab’em all I did!!!

Brought back lots of cool stuff!!! The after that we headed to South Bank for more flea market and then I found a store full of iron-on patches. I spent of cause, they were really worth the price so I snagged quite a bit. If you want to order any please go to : http://www.irononpatches.com.au/

When I went to the China Town Flea Market , I ran into the gut who sold me the patches so why not, Take A Picture!!!

He has a few stalls running in numerous places. Sucessful chap!!!

I really enjoyed their flea markets because each stall sells different stuff unlike Singapore, most stall sells cheap clothes. I don’t complain about the hand made accessories in Singapore, I find their cool but the cheap imported clothes is kinda of over done. We need more interesting stuff, people!!!

While on my journey I found this really could van, “The Mystery Machine”.

It reminds me of Scooby Doo. Well don’t see this kind of cool things often!!!

After spending most of our days in Brisbane, Aunt took us to Gold Coast on the Second Last day. We breeze through a few stores on the way and I saw beautiful attique jewelry and a lot of high end stuff. This was a rich man’s area to hang out and in the middle of this place was a threatre that looked super old school!!! Love it!!!

There were boats everywhere because people there lived in really nice houses on the water!!! They are RICH!!!! After all the shopping comes food, George’s Paragon. An Greek Seafood Restaurant, I enjoyed the Moulton Bay Bugs (Cray Fish-like) and the king prawns!!! Super Delicious!!!

After this, we headed to check out the one and only VERSACE Hotel. It is very grand and very elegant. It’s like WOW when you walk in!!!

I am very amazed by the sight!!! Even my parents who know nothing of VERSACE were amazed. That’s why design speaks for itself.

We headed for Jupiters Casino next, although unlike the Casino in Brisbane. I somehow felt the atmosphere in this casino to be more lively maybe beause of the timing. So what do you do in a casino. You gamble on JACKPOTS!!!

Haha I really love Jackpots and scratch tickets. When you gamble, know when to stop. Or else forget it.

After that we headed to Pacific Shopping Mall, one of the largest malls in Gold Coast to shop and I found a dress for A Jolly Event I will be attending.

Oh BTW, I found a really cool fascinator in the city that matches the dress!!! It’s too cute, i had to buy it. You don’t see fascinators much here and if so, they cost a bomb and look rather unfascinating. So I guess I am really lucky!!!

When night came we visited another flea market near Surfers’ Paradise and I saw a lot of amazing stuff but I was kind of on a budget then as I have spent quite a lot!!!

Look at these pretty lanterns, I really loved them but I am BROKE!!! ha ha

We headed for a Chinese Restaurant after and had a really good meal!!! The taste of home!!! After the meal, we headed back and packed.

The Brisbane Airport had Mod-like chairs and the design of the airport waiting area was clean and edgy. Finally, we were going home!!! I missed home!!!

After tuching down in Singapore, I couldn’t wait to get home. It’s true there is no place like home.

Here Comes King Karl Lagerfeld

Have you ever seen Karl Lagerfeld cuter?! Not only is he cute, cool and stylish you can also bring him home now!!!

So What’s cooler than that!!! Check out K Karl Lagerfeld by tokidoki!!! ( I have a tokidoki link at my side bar, do check!!!)

This is the man behind Chanel and Fendi and he is such a fine dandy and a great visonary. It would be a great pleasure to meet the man!!!

<Hint-Hint> <<my dearest friends “K Karl Lagerfeld is on my christmas wish list, kindly donate him to me if you do see him! :p>>

Have You Ever Been In a Tree?!

If the Answer is NO!

Good for you!!!

Discovered it while on the way home from work.

Check out the Christmas Tree at ION. The Exterior looks like any other beautifully decorated christmas trees on Orchard Road but… …

the Interior is brillant.

The Entrance is covered by a black cloth which gives it that mysterious feeling. The initial thought is ” I wonder what’s inside?”.

Curious as ever. Sakina and I went in and we were amazed!

In this little tree, we saw what looked like pearls dangling down. It was so magical and it was a very smart idea.

It reminded me of what a good packaging is – looking good on the inside and outside and able to capture and delight the consumer.

Although I am not very amazed by the ION Shopping Mall but I am impressed by the Christmas Tree Idea which is something very Different!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!

Hope you will enjoy your experience there!!!

4 kids 2 girls & 2 Boys

KIDS, that’s what we are!!! We laugh and play and joke around!!!

I had Dinner with Fahara at BK cineleisure, we were starved after finishing a Trend Presentation Mood Board. We ordered our food and the BK crowns caught our eyes!!

Eagerly we placed them on and became to little princesses!! Silly you would call it but uber Fun!!!

We took a series of pictures!!! HA HA we got stuck on Klein’s Favourite Quote: “Oh YEAH!”

We munched, Fahara is a master of mischief!!! She was so cute at all the face making!!!

OH YEAH!!! HA HA

Ha ha ha she’s still at it!!!

Having dinner with her made me think of how much fun it would be if we had dinner with Haliff and Jerry too!!!

Haliff looking cool in his UNIQLO wind-breaker!!!

This is Haliff, the bestest boyfriend that his girlfriend has!!! Ha Ha, he was the first person I got to know in Club Monaco!!! He is a package of Mischeif all in one but he’s a friend’s friend!!!! And he loves BMX, Watches, Tools and Shoes!!! MARC JACOBS and exclusive Branded Items!!!

 I miss taking the MRT with him!!!

I miss his Black Sheep tee shirt too!!!

Then there is Jerry. On the first look, you think he is some quiet dude but erm… he is actually quite funny, loves to dance Techtonic and has the “Prince Virus”!!!

But now he’s just Bob, Bob Marley man!!!

 

When I think of them, I am reminded of the time when Fahara, Haliff, Jerry and I did closing and then they started dancing after!!! It was hilarious!!! It was unforgettable!!!

 

Although now the Team is all girls, they are very strong people with potential too. The team is made up of Yasi, Klein, Fahara, Huda, Syera, Jerean and myself!!!

We are all adults but we know inside we are still kids waiting for a certain time when we can just let out and play together again!!!
