Sorry for the lack of updates.
It's just a month more to the wedding,
and things are getting a little crazyyy. haha.
Well, the bad thing about not updating the blog frequently is that
there are so many things that happened while you were gone..
and you're not sure how to kickstart the post. :x
Cant believe it's really December already,
and I can smell the Christmasy feel in the air.
It's definitely my favourite month of the year,
where gifts, laughter, and gatherings all congregate into these 30 days worth.
Had gone for a Christmas buffet at Cafe 2000, M hotel to get the ball rolling for festive food.
After going to so many buffets, I honestly feel that Cafe 2000 is one of the best.
And funnily enough, it's one of the hotels which offer the most reasonable rates.
It's about $49 per person after credit card promotions.
Other hotels are having theirs for minimally $60 - $80.
In terms of food, Cafe 2000 doesn't lose out on the variety as well.
Oysters, crayfish, prawns, sashimi, mussels.
Would definitely want to go back there again (:
I love their durian penget the most.
Tried a few others at other hotels,
but so far, this one really came up to expectatations.
Chilled, with the right creamy texture, and of course,
the best pungent fruit (:

For the big day's preparation, HS's room has also been renovated.
Had choosen a softer pine wood color as the mainstay.
His original dark brown wood furniture is nice, but they made the room feel darker.
The whole room feels brighter and cheerier already (:
Next up would be to get some fragrance oil and reed diffuser to get the resort-like feel (:
And I'm so happy that the closet is so huge!
So much so that I still have about half the space empty after moving in my stuff (:
yays to more clothes and shopping!
Other prep included buying the jewelry and watch for the bride and groom respectively.
Took a whole afternoon just to select the jewelry.
Initially I only wanted the bracelet, but mil insisted on getting a set :x
These pieces selected are more classic in design,
so they would be appropriate for future semi-casual events (:
Can't believe these little stones cost such a bomb.
Mummy and I also selected a watch for the boy!
Was struck by this awesome design :D
I love the roman numerals on the watch. haha.
Ever since I first laid my eyes on Frank Muller's watches,
I've been a huge fan of roman numerals on watches (:
That aside, I also went for my 2nd MTM gown fitting.
I was rather displeased that they postponed my fitting to 14 Dec 12.
If the gown was not up to my expectation, they wouldnt have sufficient time to make major changes.
When I got there, I went for the trial make up and hair-do first.
Was really pleased with the results (:
Thumbs up to Miki for doing such an awesome job.
And here's myself in my mtm gown!
The lace at the bodice wasn't sewn on yet.
And they only managed to add crystal beads for 1/4 of my gown.
Goodness.
But overall, I was quite happy with the gown.
They just need to complete the gown, and take off another 2 inches for the waist.
Currently, it's still a little too loose.
I know I'm not suppose to reveal my gown so soon,
but I just can't contain my excitement! :D
Alright, I shall keep my evening gown as a surprise then (:
It's a gorgeous piece, in my favourite shade of color!
And it's not from the wedding boutique.
I got it from elsewhere!
I have so many gowns that I'm not sure how much air time each should have.
Oh well, nevermind about that (:
Now back to more wedding preparations!
Can't wait to see how these babies would become pretty hongbao boxes (:
Till the next, byee!
And ohoh, if any of you have any ideas on where to stay or what to do in Bali,
please text me ok? (:
Have planned for a trip to Bali next July,
but not sure where to stay and what to do there!
