I was planning to pick a few pre-wedding photos I like the most to show some of you, especially those who have contacted me about My Dream Wedding house. I got really lazy because I like all of them!
Anyway, because I am quite busy with my Internet Marketing work lately (will blog about that next time), I’m going to just give you the link to the album in my Facebook 
Enjoy!!!

After a really long time, my wedding is finally over. Yesterday will be one of the most memorable day in my life. Everything went very smoothly with some hiccups here and there. No hiccups too major and it turned out to be a very beautiful wedding.
I’m very happy with the services I’ve gotten from my vendors. Almost all of them have received more than one compliments from my guests. One of our not-that-close-friend actually commented that our wedding is the best wedding she had ever attended. I felt very grateful to the vendors and thought I’d do them a favor and give them some testimonial online.
When I was looking for a good photographer, I really didn’t have to look very far. My secondary school friend, Ke Wynn, was already pretty well known in Penang. He worked very hard yesterday and I can’t wait to see my photos.
2) Precious Moments Wedding Services
Evan truly was the easiest person to work with. She is friendly, creative and most of all accommodating. I’m very amazed by her decoration job. She totally transformed my wedding from normal to wow! I have so many people complimenting on the decoration.
Rhumba pretty much is the biggest reason why my guests had a good time. They really are awesome. I chose Rhumba after watching their performance in one of my cookies’ wedding. I thought Jacky was great, he can play so many instruments. Also, Kenny have a voice that is quite like Jacky Cheung. Kian loves Jacky Cheung song so I know he will like it. Jacky played a very nice oldies (Herb Alpert – This guy’s in love) on the saxophone while ushering us in on the first march-in. Kenny was great too in singing our second march-in song (So much in love). We didn’t get to hear all their performance but those that we heard are very good. Many said they are the best wedding band they’ve ever heard.
Being a perfectionist, our emcee really helped a lot in controlling the crowd. Besides his witty and fun personality, he also helped out in planning the agenda and coordinating with the hotel folks on all the minor things that wouldn’t have occurred to me at all. Initially, I didn’t want to hire an emcee. I’m so glad I did. Looking back, if I didn’t hire William, I think my wedding would have been very chaotic due to my inexperience with events. Money well spent!
5) Makeup artist Vicki
Unfortunately, she does not have a website for me to link. My makeup artist was really good. At first, I engaged this lady who did makeup for my sister and many other cousins in my family. We trust that she has very good skills. When she told me that she couldn’t make it for my wedding and had arranged a partner of hers for me, I was crushed. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, actually. Her partner was just as good, if not better. My cousin told me that she’s very good with hair. I have to second that. Many have complimented on my first march-in hair (what my girlfriends known as “the shakira hair” lol). It was a big hairstyle and I wasn’t very sure about it when she suggested. It turned out very nice!
6) Storybook
Enya customized a very lovely card that goes with my theme, Apple Wonderland. I troubled her so many times by adding more and more card orders. She was still willing to help me rush the printings. Very grateful.
Affordable customized chocolate bars. What more can I ask for? I think my guest thinks they are nice. Many took photos of it and posted in Facebook. Here’s one.
8 ) Premiere Hotel
Although we were a little bit unhappy about something they did, we think they have been a good host. They apologized for their mistake and made up by giving us 5 free night stays in their hotel. Serene has been exceptionally helpful and provided top class service throughout the whole time. Their management staff were just as cooperative. The ballroom was more than functional.
We were a unhappy with them pressuring us when we were choosing our pre-wedding photos. The problem was that all the photos were so nice, it was hard for us to decide. Because hubby didn’t like to see me all stressed up, he told them we will buy all the nice photos. I was very angry because it’s a lot of money but in the end, I realised I’m wrong. I should thank him instead of scold him. I’m glad we spent that money because we really enjoy looking at the photos. Our guests think they are good too. I’ve received many “wow!” “wah!” from my beloved aunties. Apart from the photos, their dresses are alright. Very limited, though. I ended up wearing two wedding gowns instead of one wedding and an evening gown. Reason was because I couldn’t find a nice evening gown!! I ended up wearing the kwa and two gowns I tried on when I first visited them and before I paid my deposit. Overall, I will give them a 7/10 but a 10/10 for their photography (ask for Charles as your photographer).
I really loved the dummy cake she created for us. Beautiful! However, trying to communicate with her is a tad hard. She’s a very busy person. It’s still manageable.
My cousin said my wedding was perfect and that I’ve put in a lot of effort. Actually, it’s not just the efforts I’ve put in. It is also my luck in finding really good vendors. If you want to engage any of the above, let me know. I can refer you.

Many last minute things to take care of. I’m nervous. While most of the things are going my way, I do have some things that are upsetting. Bought the wine today. My wedding favors are ready. My cake will be ready soon. My wedding decor has started working. I have a few art projects to do this weekend. Visiting the printer shop tomorrow. Guest lists are almost done. Meeting my make up artist tomorrow to discuss my hair style. Final fittings to be done next week. What else have I missed? lol

I just received the most expensive wedding gift yesterday (in terms of monetary). In fact, it is the second most expensive gift I’ve ever received. First one was my education sponsored by my dad. Second one is also from my dad. My wedding gift. It’s overwhelming. While I have some feelings of regret and guilty, I am trying to remind myself that letting other people buy you something is also a gift by itself. They will feel happy and we shouldn’t rid them of such happiness.
Nevertheless, I love it! I feel a little bit of pressure carrying it around. People who know me know that I am not one of those who are crazy about branded things. Most people (those who can’t afford it but still want to cut their legs for it) need branded stuff only as a tool to make themselves feel significant. I don’t need all those. I’m define by who I know I am inside. That’s all that matters. I really don’t need anyone else to give me approval in that area. Hence, this gift is something extraordinary and I’m just not used to it. lol. However, I know it will be my lucky charm and will accompany me for all important events for the rest of my life.
Thanks, dad! I love you.
P/s: My resolution now is to make as much money as possible from Internet Marketing and buy something really extravagant back for dad and my parents in law!

I’m happy that my staff are getting very smart. They ate handling the shop well. Getting many compliments from customers and increased sales are super good signs!
I’m happy that my wedding planning is very smooth. Am done with RSVP. Now, I just need to do the seating chart and some other mini art projects. Met up with my decor today. Think she will do an awesome job. My house is looking very nice now thanks to my sister’s good job in decorating. The in-laws are all set. Wedding planning is fun, really. I’m so glad I chose to do it all by myself instead of hiring a planner.
I’m happy to receive a good news two days ago. Woo hoo! More on that later.
I’m happy my hubby is the greatest in the world. He is doing such good job in the wedding slides. Smart hubby!
I’m happy that everyone is so happy. Wonders that a wedding brings. All the good vibes and luck. Love my family, my friends and my staff.

Yesterday was a sad day for my hubby. His ultra mega super duper idol, Steve Jobs have passed away leaving his legacy behind. It makes me sad to watch him being sad. If you have Facebook, you probably were already bombarded with many smart quotes by the legendary Apple’s CEO. I think we should all learn from him and his experience.
In the evening, my hubby bought me an iPod Nano as a tribute to Steve Jobs. I have the best hubby in the whole world!

My girlfriends planned a hen’s night for me. Lol. We had a really fun and funny time. I am not going to give you a full coverage on that day. Some things should be left private. Right? Hahaha. Thank you, girls. I appreciate it!
This is me showing the girls how pre-wedding photos poses should be done. Haha
A naughty jelly cake with naughty penis candles. lol. naughty.
Group photo!

We finally received our photo soft copy after rushing them. My Dream Wedding Bridal House was taking their own sweet time until my hubby called and voiced out our dissatisfaction. Will talk more about this later. Anyway, here it is. I’m very happy with my photos. The photographer was so good, it was so hard to choose the photos. I will only show you more after my wedding so that you won’t be bored when watching my slides later

This is what I’ve been up to!
I’ve started working on Internet Marketing for one and half months (more or less). This month, my income from Google Adsense is USD50 and it’s not even month end yet. I’m very excited and happy about this new opportunity. Can’t wait to duplicate the system. My new goal is to reach USD100/day.
Thank you, Universe!

Finally, my cards are done. It has been very stressful arranging for cards distribution and RSVP. I am still on it. Met up with my emcee to discuss and plan the dinner event. I have been actively working with my family and family-in-law to plan the morning session as well. Sigh. So frustrating to do all these when all I really want to do is to continue with my new money project. What happened to my initial plan for a simple wedding? What is wrong with me? lol
Anyway, I’ve been shopping with my sister for shoes and finally found the perfect pair. I practically walked 4 big shopping malls for these and it’s tiring. I guess it’s worth it as I found two really gorgeous pair of shoes.
The high point of these few days was today. I had my first “ji mui” meeting today. After the meeting, we went to shop for dresses and found this cute dress excellent for bridesmaids. The material is good, workmanship is nice and price is good. I got each of them one and felt really happy. No more headaches for them to think about what to wear and where to shop. Very good for color coordination too. Now, I need to buy my hubby’s grooms men bow ties.
* breathe in * breathe out………..
Must be a hot season for weddings. Went to bridal shops are at SS2 and we saw many people decorating bridal cars yesterday. I just passed by a few shops and I already saw at least 5 cars!
