Wedding Inspirations...





I love the idea of using poloriods to take pictures of the guest and write their heartfelt messages in the Guest book. Perharps when it's my wedding, I will use the same idea! Since I already have a poloriod camera, all i need is to alter a sketch book with lots of photo mats (to place the poloriods) and journal blocks for messages! Great!


I love this dress~ 
I fall instantly in love with this dress when i first saw it at Pinterest. And I really hoping that some bridal shops in Singapore here will have similar design! But I've got to go on diet first!

Singapore Presidential Election 2011

Well well... another voting to be done this year beside the GE in May/June 2011.

Some might think that it's a tough decision to make as there are 4 contestants running for the president election. Some have totally no idea who to vote until Friday night, went online to do some research. Yup, that person is ME!!! Cause seriously i don't really care much about Government/ Political issues. I've too many things in my daily life to bother about such things!

Later I'm also going to resume my driving lessons... this time with another instructor and hopefully everything goes well. *keep my finger cross*

Have been missing out quite a few days of my photography challenge. So here are they....

Day 3: Clouds
White is my favorite Colour
Day 5: someone i love
Today's going be to eventful pack day. Like i mention earlier on.. 1) Voting 2) Driving Lesson 3) Pay bills =( 4) Chilling out session with brenda & my bf @ timbre! 5) Home stay + movie marathon with Bf!

But each time we spent time tgt, it's always wonderful!!

Obsession with STAMPS!!

Oh yes, ever since i step into the scrap booking world...

I practically obsessed with tools, paints, alphabets stickers, embellishment and etc.... But now my current obsession will be stamps!

Stamps just allow my creativity to flow freely. I can use them in all sorts of ways. And I also love to use water colour crayons to colour them as well! Great for crafts, cards and scrapbook layouts.

And there is 1 new additional to my ever growing collections.
Tim Holtz - Good Thoughts Stamps
I've been eyeing for this stamps like for ages... And finally when i was "researching" for cheaper scrapping tools deals, i stumble upon this website.. www.simonsaystamps.com
And they are selling this wonderful stamp at the price of $21. Which cost me about SG$30 after the conversion. And it's alot cheaper than my local scrapbook store is selling.

So happy!! Yeah!!!

Holiday Bug is biting!!!

Yup Yup... My itchy feet and hands are starting again... this time it's for holiday!!!



As usual, on a moody Monday blue.. while doing my research online.. I decided to detour and stalk other ppl's blog. So I Google about Hong Kong trip. And all the more I feel like going. Ok! People around will know that i've been going to HK for so many times. But this time, I would like to go there with my BF together and also to venture into Shenzhen or Macau.

From Pinterest


I'm hoping that we can have a trip to HK real soon. Mention this to Bf before and he thinks it's too soon to go for another holiday. Because we are planing a beach resort getaway this Oct. Ahhhh!!! Time! Please get by faster!!!!!

I love our DATES!

Bf and I may not have alot of time to go out on a date.. But every time we manage to find time for each other, it's a wonderful time spent.

This picture was taken quite a few months ago, where we went to Changi Village to take photo of Sunset... but the weather that day was way too warm thus we change our location to Pasir Ris in the evening.

It's been quite awhile since we go out together, cos Bf is completing his final lap of his studies and at the same time he has to manage his teaching hours as well. And as for me, monday - friday is all work and occassionally weekends, i have to work too. So we really treasure every single moment we have together...

Day 2 of Photography Challenge

Yesterday was Singapore's 46th birthday.. Surprisingly, bf and I didn't have much program on on this day.

Just a basic date, with movie and lunch and dinner. But I was happy to bum into 2 of my secondary school friends whom i haven seen them for like ages... Happy to be able to recontact with them.

Wonder when will be the next gathering...

Almost a decade since I graduated from Secondary school. Hahaha.... Times just flies pass when you're busy and the age is creeping in. Makes me feel old. Haiz.

Anyway, there's my take for day2.... Photo: What I wore for today!

And I also took some photographs of us... See that cute robot background. It's very "danbo" like and bf commented that I like anything that look very similar to Danbo. Haha


After snapping these cute robots, we made our way back to my place and went for a massage!

Had a good sleep last night after massage, shoulder and lower back isn't that aching! Really need to have massages as and when to let my body relax.

Beauty Loot: Fancl Lotion AC + Sunguard 30

Like many girls out there... I've my own set of beauty regimen..

There are some kind of girls who loves to get the complete set from the same brand. And there are some kind who loves to mix and match.

And yup, i belong to the later. Cos i also believe that brand A cleanser is good for you doesn't mean that it's toner will work fine on your face.

So there is my mix and match 3 step beauty regimen.

1) Cleaner: Kiehl's Rare Earth Cleansing Form
2) Tone: Fancl Lotion AC
3) Moisturize:  Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion
4) Sunblock: Fancl Sun guard 30 Nuance Pearl

And being a member in Fancl group, recently they are having a 20% discount on their product as their anniversary promotion. Catch is, you got to purchase at least $80 and above.

Total damage: $65


So I went down to the nearest Fancl store that is nearby me and viola!!! I'm a happy girl cos i save at least $10++!!

I've been using Fancl's product for awhile.. and i really like it. Totally suits the Asian skin. The lotion is quickly absorb once i pat on my clean face. And there's not feeling of tightness. And another product that i rave about will be the sunblock.

Most of the sunblock i used, are really oily and after awhile my skin will have break outs. But this watery base sunblock.. just sit right it!!
 Thumbs up for me!

Accepting new changes

I guess the "IN" word now is proby : - Changes are the new constant.

Since August, there are quite a number of changes, mostly on my work. Different of job portfolio which means my work level has increase but.... my pay still stays the same. Guess this is something very common with ppl working here in Singapore.

But I don't really grumble much about this new changes as i see that it's a new challenged and i hope that by learning something new in my work, there is chance to excel and perform well. Hoping to really do well in my job and really look forward to my next appraisal next year.

Anyway.. enough with my work. Am really looking forward to this public holiday tomorrow.
Cos i finally can get a break! Yeah!!! Too bad there isn't any long weekend public holidays this month. But isn't anything for me to complain cos i don't have to work!!! LOL!!!

Few months back, i come across this photography challenge. And i'm really keen. 
So today, looking at my camera lying on my table. I picked it up and take a shot...

And here's my go of : Day 1 - A photo of yourself.


After snapping my photo today.. I realize that i've seem to put on weight! See how round is my face!!

Ahhh!!!!

Need to go on diet like NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i’ll be with you, wherever you are
Like a shadow...

Fireworks in Singapore!

National Day is near.. During those preview in July, many would be able to view a shorter view of the fireworks display. I managed to glimpse part of the spectacular firework on the last NDP preview when I was at Plaza Singapura.
http://www.etour-singapore.com/fireworks-in-singapore.html

Too bad, I didn't bring my camera along.
From young, I have this soft spot for fireworks. And especially those that are at Disneyland. Somehow makes the whole place looks every more magical.

Anyway, there is a list of where to view fireworks which i googled it.


SINGAPORE NATIONAL DAY PARADE & REHEARSALS
Singapore National Day Rehearsals (NE Shows, Saturdays):
  • NE Show 1 - 9 July 2011
  • NE Show 2 - 16 July 2011
  • NE Show 3 - 23 July 2011
(NE Shows are 'full dress rehearsals' of the National Day Parade. They are watched by primary school students.)
30 July 2011 - Preview Parade for Singapore National Day 2011
9 Aug 2011 - Singapore National Day 2011
Where:
NDP Fireworks will be launched from around the National Day Parade venue (The Float @ Marina Bay). Watch this space for updates nearer National Day 2011.
What Time: At the end of the Show Segment of NDP (likely from 7.30pm).



Where to See Fireworks in Singapore
(For Launches at Marina Bay Waters)




s icon The Esplanade Theatre Waterfront Promenade
  • A very convenient spot overall.
  • You need to find a good spot if you don't want to see the construction sites in your fireworks photos

s icon The Esplanade Bridge
  • A good place if you want the Merlion included in your fireworks photos.
  • However, you still need to a wide-angle lens because the fireworks are pretty near.
  • This spot is incredibly crowded during the New Year's Eve Countdown fireworks.

s icon Merlion Park
  • Go to the Merlion Park if you want to hear the loud booms and to feel the fireworks 'falling on you'.
  • A difficult place to get everything into your camera unless you use a fish eye lens or a wide-angle lens.
  • Suitable to take children to, but crowded. You'll need to get there early and occupy the kids meaningfully.

s icon Clifford Pier

  • A small area available to the public. Better if you book a seat at One on the Bund restaurant (see below).

s icon The Promontory @ Marina Boulevard


    • This spot was a fireworks photographer's favourite before the re-construction took place. You get sweeping views across the water towards the Marina Bay hotels.
    • Now refurbished, it's a lovely green space.
    • Likely the venue of some carnival or fair during fireworks night and therefore a good spot to take kids to.
    • Some photos of fireworks as seen from Marina Boulevard.

s iconMarina Bay Sands Waterfront Boardwalk

    • This newly completed timber boardwalk is situated just in front of Marina Bay Sands. It takes you all the way to the water's edge.

s icon Helix Bridge

    • The spiralling steelwork may hinder your view of the fireworks. But it also creates an interesting perspective.
    • There are also uninterrupted platform areas that protrude over the waters, which offers an interesting vantage view over the skyline.

s icon Marina Barrage

    • Farther away than all the other viewing spots, but offer a 'sense' of seclusion.
    • Take the MRT to Marina South Station. Then SBS Bus No. 400 or the Marina Barrage Shuttle Bus to the Barrage.

Wonders of iMac

Can't really believe it that Im actually blogging this on a iMac..

Hahaha...
Seriously this piece of machine is really cool and sleek! Graphics looks so nice in awe in this machine.
It has no CPU which means space saving.

The keyboard isn't as bulky as the PC.. Hmmmm

If i have a choice, I would really like to purchase it but than the down slide.... alot of programs can't be used.

Like my most favorite... Fun Sheng Wang! A online program where you can stream thousands of movies, tv shows and even variety shows!

But no.... I'm still very the PC user! Though it will be nice than somehow that i can own an imac! Maybe next time when i have my own house.

Wondering why i can a chance to use an iMac, it's because im on a 3 day workshop on Photoshop.
See if by the end of these 3 days will Apple buy me over...

Hehehe
