Drum as a Gift for his Good Academic Results

Lunz is having his mid semester holiday now, for 2 weeks. Before the school holidays started, parents have to attend the parents-teachers day meeting at his school. You know, just to brief you on the child's academic and social development and his exam results. The teacher told me, Lunz was doing very good academically. In fact, just 10 minutes after the exam started he has already finished his paper. He even taught his friends who sat next to him on how to do the exam sheets. According to the teacher, Lunz saw his friend filled in the answer wrongly and told his friend, "No, wrong dy" and wrote the correct answers for his friend.

His teacher asked him not to do so and to sit down quietly. But the next moment she looked away, he was back to correcting his friend again. So his teacher asked him to sit at the corner, far away from the rest of the children. At first, he thought that his teacher was punishing him for not obeying her instruction but the teacher explained to me that she told Lunz she was not actually punishing him. She was just asking him to sit at one corner so that he wouldn't interrupt the other children who were still undergoing the test. Then, I asked the teacher, does he know what you are trying to tell him and that you are not actually punishing him? The teacher told me Lunz nodded wor. She said he understands. So cute.

As he got 'A's for all his exam papers, we got him a drum as a gift!

Wedding Gifts from Beloved Friends & Family - Part 2

As a continuance from the previous post, here are the additional gifts I got on my ROM day....

A bouquet of lovely daisies from second aunt, Aunt Mag.

Wedding deco from Mei and Jag (the photographer). Jag gave us a glow-in-the-dark condom with the warning "Caution: Things that glow in the dark may appear to be larger" written on the packaging. Guessed what? We don't intend to use as it was supposed to be remembrance gift.

A pair of gold rings from my parents. Silly mum, daddy gave her not even a huge sum of money but she used it to buy gold rings for us. She told me, the rings will remind us of her later when she is no longer around. I'm wearing it now together with my wedding band and I'm not going to take it off for as long as I live.

Body shop toiletries from Aunt Mag.

Thanks guys! For all the wonderful gifts.....

Register of Marriage

I took a week off from office for my ROM. I was drop dead busy preparing for the BIG DAY. I spring-cleaned the entire house and on the day before the BIG DAY, I got ready a list of things to be done:

1. Brought the car for wash and vacuum.
2. Daddy bought a hand bouquet for me that looked like this....

Lovely ehh? Cost 80 bucks! Now hanging upside down to dry. Not gonna throw it away as this was the first bouquet of flowers that daddy bought for me.

3. Prepared and filled in the angpows with $$$$.
4. Ironed my gown and daddy's shirt.
5. Prepared my wedding handbag.
6. Prepared my wedding shoes.
7. Took out all the jewelries and hair accessories that I'm going to wear.
8. Pedicure.
9. Manicure.
10. Charge the camera.
11. Bla bla bla....

I can't really sleep that night and had lil' eye bags the next morning. Woke up at 6am and did my eye mask. Haha. At least it helped to sooth the eye bags a bit. Daddy's side of the family promised to gather at our house by 8.30am, hence, I got to be ready before 8.30am. Took a quick bath and by the time I was done, daddy woke up. I quickly proceed to apply make up and waited until it was time to change into the gown. I can't be walking the entire house in the gown. It would be too troublesome and hot. So, I waited until the guests almost arrived before I finally changed into the gown.

Lunz woke up with a drowsy look. It was daddy who noticed he had a hot forehead---->downed with fever! Yesterday he was still fine but on this very BIG DAY he developed fever, my gosh, the poor boy. We can't just leave him behind as there was nobody to look after him nor we can't canceled our schedule. Without wasting time, I quickly gave him the fever syrup to bring down the temperature. We had to drag him along anyhow and can only take him to the doctor when the ceremony has ended and that would have to be in the afternoon. I packed a few of his clothing, water bottle, fever syrup and his favourite blanket for him to rest in the car.

When I had changed him and myself, it was just about the right time because I heard daddy's side of families had arrived. We left for Putrajaya and reached the place about 9.30am. I was greeted by mum and brothers as well as their families. They waited for me there. Not to mention my friends too! Some of them even brought gifts for me. Poor Lunz, he was moody all the time because of the fever but he was a very good boy. He did not threw a single tantrum. I'm very proud of him. I knew I had to bring him to the doctor immediately after all this has ended. So far, his temperature was under controlled and mum looked after him while I took photos and during the moments when I signed the marriage certificates.

Took our number and waited for our turn. We took some photos while waiting.

With my 2 very close friends, Mei and Sellina, who were able to attend my ceremony.

With my brothers and nephew.

With mum and dad. Love you guys! Am really touched you both made it.

With daddy's side of family.

With second aunt, cousin Sharon and younger bro's wife in white dress.

With gorgeous sister Sellina who was able to make it last minute. She remembered my ROM date wrongly and luckily her boss granted her the last minute half day leave.

With the boy and lovely flower girl. Poor boy, sick but still managed to pose so yau yeng!

Full view of the gown. Thanks to my colleagues in MTC for the lovely gown. You guys completed my day.

Then, it was our turn to go into the ceremony room.....

Exchanged our vows and said the big I DO!

Exchanged our wedding bands.

Ta-da! It's official! We got a loud round of applause from the guest.
Neh....my brothers started it.

Honestly, the ceremony room was pretty well decorated. You can take a lot of nice photos inside the room.


We went for lunch afterward and performed the tea serving ceremony later after lunch. It was almost 3pm when we finally took Lunz to the doctor. The doctor confirmed it was a throat infection. He slept for 3 hours after he took his medication. I guessed he was really really tired and sick and I can't help but felt so guilty and sorry to him. He was such a good boy on that day and I felt truly blessed to have them both in my life. :)

Ms. Ho's Request and Wedding Band

Due to request by Ms. Ho, here I am in her white lacy dress....

Front view of the dress

Side view

As my lazy husband-to-be did not wanna take the pictures for me, I gotta cam-whore in front of the mirror.

So, izzit nice babe, your dress on me?
Sorry, the grey one fits also but unfortunately looked too tight on me.

By the way, my wedding bands....


Poh Kong gave us two very ugly looking boxes during purchase time. So, I had to buy a better looking box that can fit in both of the rings. I took the black velvet setting from my previous jewelry box to replace the white one in this newly bought box. The gold bands certainly look more striking with a black setting. It took a lil' effort but it's worth it. At least the setting of the rings looks nicer.

The Surprise Wedding Gift From Colleagues

I was looking for a dress or gown for ROM and maybe for outdoor photo shooting as well, when one of my helpful colleagues, i.e., Lay Lee stumbled upon this on the malaysiabrides website.....

This fabulous strapless ivory empire waist gown is for sale! So, Lay Lee quickly contacted the owner and the next day she told me the news.....the gown was already been sold out! I was a lil' dissapointed but expected it already because a beautiful gown like that is easily up for grab. But little did I know that there was a surprise behind it!

On Monday, I was asked to go up to the 21st floor of our company where the rest of the Chinese colleagues are mostly there. They gave me a surprise that nearly made me cry.....

OOOO MYYY GOOODDDDD!!! They secretly bought the gown for me and gave me a surprise. At first I couldn't believe it and it struck me that why this gown looks so familiar. Then, only I realized the story behind it. These gals are really witty. I tried on it immediately on the spot, in the server room, but the room was really freezing.

Ta-da!! The outcome....

I will look better with heels, make up and hair-do! I gave them each a big hug after that. Hahaha.....





Special thanks to Li Har and Lay Lee for the time and effort taken to get this gown in Puchong on last Sunday. Can't appreciate more. You girls are really nice people, including my 21st floor ji mui(s). Lunch is on me on 18 June. It's not the price of the gift that matters, it's the heart and effort taken to present the gift. It can't be anymore meaningful. Plus giving the bride her gown. Love ya all!

The gown comes with a card...


I failed to rotate the card but nevertheless, it still look nice side ways. Hahahaha....
Once again, thank you girls!

Wedding Plannings

We have just got a date for our ROM. It's 4th of June! As I was told to name the date immediately on the spot by the marriage registry officer, I just couldn't decide which date to choose out of panic. I thought I can only choose based on the dates they are supposed to give us. Apparently, we are free to choose any date now as long as it is 21 days onwards from our application. 21 days are a notice period given to "announce" the application of a marriage publicly. This is also a period where the public can object to the marriage but provided with a strong and solid reason. I guess the system has changed already. It is more flexi now and less documents are needed. All we need to produce are the form and IC. No photostated documents are required. It was really very convenient and efficient now. The whole application process takes less than 10 minutes.

Since the officer told us that the earliest available date is 4th June, which is a Friday, we decided immediately on that one. It will be more convenient for our friends and family as it is a Friday. And at the same time I couldn't decide which date I want or have in mind. Later, only I realized I should have gotten the same date as Lunz's birthday. His birthday is on the 17th June. It would be nice to make his birthday more meaningful and on the other hand, that lazy daddy said it will be good as he don't have to remember another date wor.

But to me, although I regretted a bit that I didn't chose 17th June to make it more memorable, I'm glad to have it on 4th June as well. This is because 5th June is a Public Holiday and daddy get his replacement leave on the following Monday. He was only given 2 days of marriage leave by his company where else I got 3 days. Kekeke.....as I will be taking the marriage leave on 3rd (Thurs), 4th (Friday) and 7th (Mon) June, daddy can get Monday off without having to touch his annual leave (because his company's policy states that the following Monday is a holiday if a public holiday falls on Saturday). We only realized that once we were in the car on our way home.

So, sometimes chor yau chor cheok geh.......

Plus it would be good to have him remember another important date. :P

The wedding will be a simple do. No morning ceremony and dinner. We planned for ROM, pre-wedding photography and a 2-3 tables dinner just for family members. I'm currently surveying the best deals for pre-wedding photography. I managed to shortlist a few of the bridal shops that can give the best offer at our budget. I'll take my sweet time to survey until we are satisfied to get down on one. My colleagues at work are very helpful and I really appreciate their helps. They gave a lot of recommendations and suggestions to me. Like which bridal shop to go and what else to get. They even searched online on some helpful information and tips for me. An idea popped out from a colleague suggesting me to hire professional photographer for outdoor shooting rather than engaged in bridal shop packages. All I have to do is assigned a photographer, a makeup artist, get a lovely gown and off we go. I pretty like outdoor photo shooting as scenery photos will not easily get bored looking at after some time. But again, it is back to budget, provided this way is cheaper than the bridal shop packages.

It turned out that I'm wrong. Although I can get a makeup session and a hair-do from the same stylist at RM200 which I already inquired, the hiring fees for a professional photographer is damn expensive. I managed to inquire a photographer which I quite like his work but he is charging like RM3K even though we are only taking photos in the Klang Valley. So, it's a No-No as it is way beyond our budget. We can still go back and acquire bridal shop studio photography instead of opting for flexi outdoor photo shooting if that's the way.

However, I just got a good news from a colleague. Again, they were extremely helpful. She told me she has a recommendation, a photographer who is willing to take up the job for FREE. But she told me in advance and very frank that this guy has no experience and his SLR camera is only 6 megapixel. He is a newbie around the corner who wants to take up photography as career. Hence, he wanted to try out some real life photo shooting first. In short, we are guinea pigs. But if it's free, why not? Colleague suggested me to try it out without engaging a makeup artist, so in this case nothing will be wasted if the result is not good. Just try to take and evaluate the result of his work first. If it's ok, then only we get down to serious business (also for FREE but with make up involved). I will have to talk to this guy to see if he is agreeable to it.
