NDP Preview 2007

Went to the NDP Preview yesterday with my mum & FILs. I was v excited since this is the 1st yr that NDP is held @ Marina Bay. We reached there @ ard 6 and had to queue up for qte a while to get our goodie bags. Me & my mum gt a blue & purple bag loaded with lots of goodies. By the time we were seaten (@ the green sector nearest to the Sheares bridge), the show was just abt to start. Could only took a few photos cos my camera was @ its low batt (boo..boo). Enjoy...

1st to 4th: 'Red Lions' of the SAF.. Cool rt?>> 5th to 6th: Parade form up by the various contingents>> 7th: The various shapes big balloons hanging @ the top of the seating area>> 8th to 9th: The state flag fly-past when the national anthem was sung.

1st to 2nd: Presidential Salute with RSAF F-16>> 3rd: 'Bomb burst' over Marina Bay>> 4th: Presidential Parade Inspection by the Speaker of Parliment>> 5th: Diving down from the Shears bridge>> 6th: Diving into waters by the RSN naval divers>> 7th to 8th: Performance by the various schs>> 9th: The fireworks.

The whole show was indeed splendid!!! With the 15 mins fireworks as the ending segment, it was the one that me & my mum enjoyed the most. With the pretty colors and loud bursting sound high up in the skie, i was so impressed and excited....

Hope that i'll get a chance to watch the NDP every yr... And thks to my lao gong who made it possible for me this yr :)

Photo-Shooting Day...

Yesterday was my wedding photo-shoot day. The session lasted from 9 am to 7 pm. At the end of the day, me & my lao gong were v shagged and our legs were aching from all the walk. But it was really worth the effort, the time & the sweat as it wld be an once in a lifetime experience. Enjoyable as it was, part of the effort have to go to our 'v nice' photographer, Eugene who at first i tok was a rather cool, a bit attitude photographer. But his true colors had slowly revealed as the hours went by as i got 'suan' by him a lot. Hehe. But... i also gt my fair bit of getting back @ him.

This photographer was rather 'hiao' from the way he showed me hw to pose. haha. But w/o him posing, i also cld nt get the nice nice effect on the photos. So mus give him some credits or else he gonna threaten to format my photos :p

We started the day with 1 hr of hair styling & make-up @ the studio. The studio was rather cool as it was actually a 2 storey pte hse located @ Orchard. All in all, i had 6 rds of outfit & hair style changing while my lao gong only nd to do his hair once and changed his shirts & jackets. Bo bian... Brides will always be the 'zu jue' while bridegrooms the 'pei jiao'. hehe... Hmm, the one i like most was wearing the 'kua' where my MUA, Gina attached a small wig with little pleats. With the wig, my that 'v gd' photographer kept saying that my head was big n i kept blocking my lao gong's face. hehe. My lao gong also looked v funny in his traditional chinese costume. Looked like those olden times 'se lao ye' :p

For the outdoor shooting, we went to the old police academy, dempsey road and the floating platform where NDP is held @. It was v cool to have our shoots @ the platform since we r the 1st couple to take our photos there... I felt rather weird when i was @ the site cos there were a lot of pple rehearsing but anyway we carried on with the photo-taking till ard 7 pm. Mus also thks maine for coming to help me @ the site.

Nw for a sneak preview of the photos...

Changing my hair style for the 5th outfit. Thks to Gina!!!











My actual day bridal gown...


My lao gong in his No. 1 uniform... Smart-looking???

@ the NDP scene. Nice? **Mus give credit to maine for taking the photos and Eugene for asking us to pose in this way.**
Am i mei mei??? hehe...
A glimpse of that gd photographer...

Hmm... At the end of the day, our mouths were numbed from the smiling and as wat Eugene had said, tink both of us 'failed' to be models cos we can't understand instructions. hehe... But both of us really appreciate his professionalism and his expertise in helping us took a lot of photos that we liked v much. But... the bad pt is we'll have a hard time choosing cos there r so many nice nice photos that he'd took. So Eugene, guess u noe wat to do horz since i'd commented so many gd pts abt u... :p

Home Sweet Home

I'm back from my shopping trip to BKK! Reali tired cos slept for ard 5 hrs each nite. Had qte a fruitful trip cos had fulfilled most of the items in my shopping list and also ate a lot... But i also walked a lot for the past 3 days. Hope it'd killed some of the calories ah...hehe... Now for the photos... Enjoy...

@ Changi Apt/On the plane/My lao gong's b'fast - Omelette/My b'fast - Carrot cake; really tasty!/My fav blueberry cake for dessert/@ Suvarnabhumi Apt/Outside the BTM station (Siam)/Me & Kim outside Siam Paragon

It was a wonderful and enjoyable trip. Esp the 60 mins foot massage which costs 200 baht (S$9). It was really shiok esp after walking for 1 whole day. And when the lady did a head massage for me, i even heard a loud crack when she twisted my neck....
