Wedding Matters.. Who to pay??!!

I came across this interesting article online.. I always thought that when it comes to wedding, everything is split 50-50 among the Bride and Groom.. but this article shows me differently..

Hongkong & Macau Trip 2012: Day 1 (Part 2)

See what I purchased in Hongkong??!!


Yup!! These are what I'm supposed to purchased for my wedding! And the price are really really much cheaper than in SG!!! Especially the tea set! It just cost me SG$18.. it won't be prefect if i remember my red colour umbrella! Forgotten to bring it back from HK airport!! (Heart pain)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really love to shop again for my wedding stuffs at HK cos they have a building that's cater to all wedding matters. From gowns, photography, videography, printing of wedding invitations, ang bao, hand bouquets and decors... Everything under 1 roof. If only SG has such place. Than I won't have to run here and there to hunt for my wedding stuffs.

After shopping for my wedding stuffs at Golden Plaza.... we went back to hotel to put down my stuffs. So happen that Metropark Mongkok is within walking distance from Golden Plaza.. We went straight to Causeway Bay, Sogo.. Cause S wanted to buy a Longchamp bag.. but unfortunately it's out of stock. So we went shopping ard. 

Enter SASA and many cosmetics stores.. everything seems to be much cheaper than SG! So all we do is just buy and buy!! 

Brought this ring for my mother.. Unique design.. this photo don't do justice to the ring!!! Not really that expensive.. About SG$24~




End of the day... I managed to purchase my Water Pack from a Korean Brand... Eyebrow pencil, 10 pairs of eyelashes! Wanted to purchased more but couldn't find those that I like.

And since S couldn't find her Longchamp bag we shopped ard Causeway Bay and went back to hotel to rest....

Hongkong & Macau Trip 2012 : Day 1

I've been back from my fruitful holiday trip almost a week.. and I'm starting to miss Hongkong! This trip is basically just a shopping and eating trip! But we managed to add in 1 day trip to Macau.

Intiatly we booked Jetstar flight @ 6.40am but was rescheduled to 10.45am flight. Kinda of wasted half a day. But what to do!? When we book this flight at such great deal... @ $250 per pax (Jetstar take a friend for free promotion)

When we reached HK airport, we waited almost 30mins for our luggage.. once we retrieve our luggage, we straightaway to purchased 3HK prepaid sim card.. will die without mobile internet for 4days!!

Shorten my rumblings... a pictures worth a thousands words..
*Heavy Pic Post*

My luggage before all my shopping loots

My traveling kaki...

At Hongkong Airport, while waiting for my luggage. Took us 30 mins to retrieve our luggage!

Finally!

A must purchase SIM card when you touch down HK! 
With the 3HK sim card, walking around HK is a breeze! Cos with GPS, we won't get lost! I can stay in contact my with fiance @ SG... at the same time check my emails and post my pictures on facebook and twitter!

Took bus A21 from Airport to our hotel.. Metropark Mongkok that is near Prince Edward MTR station, exit C2. Hmm.. i won't say that it's just round the corner. Got to walk ard 2 mins to reach the MTR station via the hotel's back door!

Wasn't that prepare for Hongkong to be that hot in the begining of May!


Our hotel room for the stay! Its small in size, but everything is really clean! What I love best from this hotel is it's service! 1 little hipcup.. that got be worried from the plane to hotel... which is! I left my luggage keys at home when I left for Changi Airport! N I didn't even realized it until I was flying half way! Got all worried and panicked! S keep reassured me that hotel ppl will be able to break open the lock! 

So right after I'm done with my payment for the hotel, I quickly checked with the hotel's bellboy.. they managed to break open the lock for me!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was over the moon when i heard that the locked was break open! So I quickly tip the guy who helped me to break open my lock and carry my luggage up to my room for me! And we also realised that our room has only 1 power plug! But we need to charge both our phones and camera batteries. So we called again to ask for power adapter plug, which they send it to us within 5 mins! Great service!!


A full length mirror! Great!! Love it!




Didn't get to try this double skin milk pudding after reading so much raves from other bloggers. This time I finally get the chanced to try! Yummy!! I could eat this everyday!

Best combination: Polo Bun & Milk Tea



These are the best polo buns that I've ever tried! It's from Kam Wah cafe.. These buns are always snap up once there are out from the oven! The cocktail bun are good too! Didn't try in this time round though... 
To me, I feel that their food portion are really huge so it's just nice for 2 of us to share that plate of noodle!

Address:
G/F, 47 Bute Street, Prince Edward

Exit from Prince Edward MTR Station B2

Really miss Hongkong while I'm writing about this post! Wish I can go back again but I must be discipline cos I've to save lots for my upcoming wedding!

Should stop there and post what I purchased from Hongkong during my 1st day!!

Stay tune!

I'm a Sattine Bride!

Was very excited to blog about this!!! We finally ended our Bridal Shop search!! I'm a Sattine Bride! ^^


On 2nd of May.. Bf and I went down to Tanjong Pagar to confirm either Digio or Sattine. So I thought that since I've already 2 top choice of gowns at Sattine, than might as well go in and see and than hope over to Digio to compare...

After trying many many gowns, Bf totally agreed that the 2 gowns that I first eyed indeed suits me very well.. and we also felt very comfortable with Irene (my co-oridnator) so we decide that this is the shop that we going to sign. Irene did suggest many types of gown for me to choose and I'm quite surprise that she still remember what is my initial choice of gown when i first met up with her...

As I'm a ala cart bride, my package might be slightly more ex than the usual package but I believe that I'm working towards my dream wedding..

Look at my flabby arms!!! (-__-")
This is one of the gowns that I love!!! But too bad it's for actual day and I can't wear it out for my outdoor shoot. As for my outdoor gown, was soo excited to show my bf that I forgotten to quickly snap a picture.
Maybe I will try to ask if i can take a snap when I'm there to do my selection..

I didn't understand what other ppl said when a girl is at her most beautiful stage... when she wear her dream wedding gown, with a smile to show everyone in the world how blissfully in love she is with the man standing next to her....

Now I do! Cos I believe my bf's mind just go blank when he see me in this gown. Something just say.. this is it! <3

I'm really looking forward to our next appt with Irene in Aug... 2 more mths! It's time to save more $$$!!!

XOXO,
Felicia
