Crazy little things

Dear all,

The big day is really drawing nearer and nearer. Things are moving in pace I think, or rather they just appear when I need it! I was in Hongkong for the past 2 days. Near Prince Edward Station there is this building call 金都商场 that sells all wedding related stuffs, bling bling shoes, hair accessories, jewellery, bridal shops, wedding planning and production firms, anything under the wedding sun on all 4 levels!! I found out, Hongkong brides they actually use fake flowers for AD bouquet. But they are still very pretty. So many choices of Ang Pows!! But I already bought from Chinatown Singapore :(. But!! Look what I have gotten from there?!

WRIST CORSAGES!! Ok I am a little overwhelmed. Ok I bought wrist corsages for my sisters and matching one for the brothers to pin on their shirt! The only difference is the ribbon comes in silver for the brothers!

The ironic thing I realised is, it has been all these sweet accessories for the wedding that makes me really excited! Not so much on the wedding. I also did not really hope it will be over soon. It's like not much feelings to it yet. Not stress, not panic (like wedding band still not send for manufacture), not excited. Maybe I am considered quite lucky. My mum is more fussy than his parents, so it is so much easier to "communicate" for what I preferred and want!! Wahaha!! Although, many times it ended up ugly. Call me a spoilt child!

And I know things will naturally fall in place when the day arrives!

I never never expect that I will buy so many pairs of heels!!!!
I wonder why I never get to see the next two pairs earlier, in that case I would not have splurge on the first pair!! But I love them all!!! I am planning to wear these 3 pairs on my wedding! I think I am too much but simply cannot resist! The consolation would be I have more pairs of evening heels!!

I will wear a different one to a different gf's wedding in future. Hahaha...
Suddenly I am crazy over my heels.

So, my first pair would be this. I guess most of you have seen it on pictures. It's from Takashimaya. Only after then I was told it is carried by the shoe company my mum is promoting for!! @#$%^


The second pair. Discreetly bought this from Far East Plaza cause I already feel bad about spending on a second pair. I thought I would just show it on the day... But well...

And follow by the last one... Bought this at 金都商场. It's only for about SGD $52. BUY!

Alright, that's more or less on the latest for the coming big day.

Good night world!

Love,
~nellez. =)

Getting the look and wedding band.

I want to get these looks for the evening! Hopefully I do not turn out looking like a "Ah Hua". I thought it's really sensuous, sexy and dainty. I hope I can carry it off! I have even requested to custom make a pair of dangling earrings with red crystal at the end. Exclusively mine by Colorz!

The earring and our wedding bands are on the way!!

Inserts Ready.

Nothing really in particular. The preparation was put to a stop for a while. All that I know was the inserts are ready for collection. We will be collecting it on Monday. On Tuesday, I will be going shopping with my mum for GDL. We are left with ordering of giveaway cakes and booking of buffets.

I wanted very much to start planning for the theme of the banquet. However, I am not sure how much access am I given to enhance the theme, thus will have to wait till I meet up with my coordinator.

At the same time, I am considering a live band for our wedding. Currently, I am asking around for the best deal within our budget - $1k. ha..

Wedding band is not ready as well. keke... omg.. sounds like I really need to move my ass abit faster.

Did I miss out anything else? Hmmm...

The Matrimonial House (Finale)

Our house has finally come to an official completion. We manage to add a little colors to the White and Grey theme. It's such a coincident that the accessories we bought were in the same color for each area. Uncluttered and simple. I hope to keep it this way throughout the years of staying. =)

We are still short of necessities like a 5 cups rice cooker, electrical pot for steam boat, panasonic microwave and a Philip blender. Ask me for the model if you have the intention to buy for us. :p

I am also looking around for a tea set (not the tea ceremony ones) for my home, so that I can make some floral tea for my girlfriends, have some scones and muffins, enjoying a lovely afternoon together. hehe....

Anyway, all this can come slowly. Let me show you around to our very first owned house...

Welcome....

The Humble Entrance.
Yellow and black to enhance the industrial looking Foyer...


When dinner shall begin, please enjoy...


Take a break at the hall....
Living hall needed some live... perhaps some fake plants, a beautiful vase and some pretty flowers...



How about a game together?


If you needed some time alone...


Find the bombshelter and entrance to the kitchen.


The lady owner territory..
It's red for the Kitchen. Everything just came in concidentally in Red. =)


Like the bread toaster as well, it was a gift...
A small counter for a quick breakfast...


And... Welcome to our bedroom..


The Dressing Room...


And where we cuddle....


Need a shower? Not here, but the common toilet.. :p


May you rest well in the guest room... :)

Tea Ceremony Tea Set

I read somewhere in the internet that this girl uses the tea set passed down by her mum. It was so beautiful, I thought. I was told I might still be able to buy it from Chinatown. Then again, the thing is, it would be very special if it is something that was passing down from the past generation, isn't it?

At home, I pestered my mum for hers but she could not remember where it was anymore and yet she did not remember throwing it. Then she assumed it was with her brother, my uncle, and auntie-in-law, trying to think that she lent it to them for their wedding.

Last week, mum paid a visit to my grandmother, her mother-in-law. As they were talking about what to buy for GDL, my grandmother brought up that the my mum's tea set was still well kept at home!

I felt a little excited to hear that.

I received the tea set all wrapped with newspapers. The first I grabbed was the long standing tea pot. Ah! It's exactly the same like I saw. Then the cups, and then the tray. Now I saw the real thing. The tea set is in pearly white and pink, gold trimmings and handles that make the whole thing shines.

Thank you grandmother for still keeping it. It's becoming my treasure. =)

Print Inserts and so on.

At last, we ordered to print the inserts for our wedding invitation cards. Nothing really fanciful. Just normal printing with a little swanky icon chosen by Mr Groom-to-be. $90 for 300 inserts. (www.focal-ad.com)

Even though, it might just be another invitation card, I simply love the maroon (neither orange red nor chilli red) with the tradition hot stamped "Xi" in gold and the oriental button. The lady was suggesting to tie a string around to hold the inserts. However, I choose to paste it on with double sided tape myself, in case it will spoil the feel of the card.

Vintage is modern traditional.

Currently, am browsing the website for wedding giveaway cakes, buffets caterings and ideas to enhance the Enchanting Garden theme provided by the hotel which I did not quite fancy but it's like a better choice as compared with the oriental theme.

Let my imagination runs wild.
