I’ve done a lot of wedding related ‘shopping’ for hotels, gowns, photographers etc. But it was only yesterday that Zibin first saw me try on any bridal gown. And today was the first time we went to check out a photographer and hotel together. I thought it was rather nice that it was Rasa Sentosa […]

Quiet
I love early mornings when I’m up before anybody else. I don’t always wake up early enough to enjoy it, but when I do, I revel in it. It’s like my last 3 weeks in Toronto when I attended 7:30a.m. mass every morning – St. Patrick St. was always so quiet and still at that […]
My Groom the Bargainer
I never thought I’d see Zibin make somebody other than me want to laugh and cry at the same time. But that’s what he did tonight… to Caroline, the designer at Silhouette. *grin* We were trying to get Caroline to bring down the pricing. I’ve always known Zibin to be good at bargaining, but I […]
'Tornado' Ann
‘Busy’ doesn’t quite begin to describe how I’ve been lately. But yep, I always have time to blog. Probably because I write fast when it comes to my blog (if only I write at this speed and efficiency for my thesis!). So many interesting things happen in my life though…things people say, do, my own […]

ZB + John + Wedding Planning = ?
Last night John, Zibin and I were lazing in my bedroom and discussing how we might want to do the church wedding. How many sword-bearers? What rank? (cannot be higher than full Lt because that would be John’s rank) From Army as well as Air-Force? Etc etc. We were just bandying ideas back and forth […]
Indonesia Bagus Part II: Bridal Fantasy
The main purpose for my Indonesia trip was to take a look at the wedding stuff they have available over there. Wedding gowns, dresses for flower girls/bridesmaids, accessories, invitations, wedding favours etc. It’s a fantasy-land wedding-wise. The sheer variety and beauty of what’s available is impossible to describe, and so much more than what is […]
Indonesia Bagus Part I: The People
It has been 4 hectic yet relaxing days in Indonesia. Hectic because our schedules were packed each and every day practically from 6a.m. to 9p.m. But it was relaxing because of the change of scenery, pace and company… particularly for my mother. There were so many interesting things and funny anecdotes that happened, and so […]
Congratulations to my 1/2 & 1/2 'sibling'!
I was in the midst of checking out the grand ballroom of Orchard Hotel with my mom and fielding calls from John and Cathy. Suddenly, an anonymous (no caller ID) call comes in. Me:“Hello?” Unknown Caller:“Hi!” Me:*hesitates while trying to place the voice* “Hi…” Unknown Caller:*even more enthusiastically*”Heh heh! HI!!!” Me:*puzzled, still unable to identify […]
Wedding Sound Bites
Much of my time now is spent thinking/discussing/researching wedding related matters. What I didn’t expect though is to have wedding related conversations ‘during’ an MSSA committee meeting. Here are some sound bites I received this evening when I met with Li Ning, Jing Jing, Hui Xuan and Kenneth (Lai). These are not verbatim, but the […]
