This week, i started to look out for my Actual Day(AD) photographer. It suddenly came to me that i have to start looking for one. On Monday, i spent my nite after work looking through the wedding forums like Style wedding, SGbrides for recommendations.

On Tuesday, i spotted a particular thread, recommending their own AD photographer and it attracted alot of positive comments from other people also. Thus, i decided to email the photographer to look at his works. He then gave me his website showing a few of his works. Then, i asked kelly, adrian, annie and of course erwin to view it, see whether it is good or not... kelly and adrian said that the pictures are normal. But annie thinks that its not bad.. i came across another website that is taken by professionals... and i was comparing between the both of them... I was thinking of choosing one between the two... after one day of picture viewing and discussion on the photos with annie and erwin... i decided to meet up with desmond ho (email:wedding_photog@yahoo.com.sg) We think that his photos captured are fun and natural... it is the kind of photos that i would want to take for my wedding...

On wednesday, after work, erwin asked me to go Zouk... It has been a long time since i last went to Zouk. I think i haven been to Zouk for more than a year already... after some persuasion by him, i decided to go... So i quickly changed a top and off we go... we reached at about 10pm... xiaoqi said that she would only reach at about 11+pm. Thus, we went over to Grand Corpthrone Hotel's "The Piano Bar".. The atmosphere is not bad... we sat on a comfy sofa, the lights are dim orange. We then order a bucket of 5 bottles "erdinger white" which cost $40 before GST and service charge...

Their peanuts so high class.. their ikan bilis are so big size and they use cashew nuts... not those cheap kind of peanuts that you get in those pubs... in the bowl, there is also lemongrass leaves?, and dried chilli... the dried chilli is so damn hot that my right ear was in pain...

while drinking, we were enjoying the live band... the female singer is good, her voice is so power... she is those kind who has those "shi li"... she asked us to dedicate songs for her to sing... they are so friendly.. after their live band finished at 11.30pm... they came over to our tables to say "hi" and introduced themselves.. and wished us a "good nite"... so nice of them...

after that, xiaoqi came over... then we went to Zouk... it was so fun... the music is still the same though... i enjoyed it.. might consider going to zouk during mambo nite "again"...

On thurs, i have difficulty waking up... i seem to have a hangover... gosh... i was so tired while at work... I was like a zombie... sobsob... felt like i regret clubbing on wednesday even though i had fun and enjoyed...

On sat, annie ask if i wanna go out... after quite alot of sms exchanges... i wanna go bugis... cos last week din manage to finish shopping there... we met at 4pm... I parked at raffles hospital... their charges there are not expensive... the first 3 hours cost me $1.83 only... cheaper as compared to $3 for 3 hours at public carparks.. while shopping, i guess joseph got quite bored... i think he got tired of waiting for us... haa... so sorry joseph... i managed to chance upon a pair of white lacy heels... which i can use for my Actual Day... it only cost me $29...

On sun, i meet up with kelly and adrian to go to their office to help them with their emcee casting.. there were about 7 ppl who came... i was supposed to rate them based on some criteria... to see if they are suitable to be emcee or not... it ended at about 3pm... we proceed to have lunch and went over to tanjong pagar to finish the bridal shops that they have not visited.. We first went to milan... they were okay onli... but i did saw a gown thats nice... it those princess kind, with crystals on the gown... not quite sure how to explain it.. another one is feline... i also liked a wedding gown there! i like it so much, that i even ask them how much they charging for rental... she then told me that for that kind of design she would have to charge me $2500.. but suggest that i buy a package which also cost $2500, which includes one wedding gown, one evening gown and actual day make up, etc... i also went over to a few other bridal shops.. but i dun wish to mention them, as there is also nuthhin special about them... one more to mention is "house of etiquette".. they sell those necessities required for chinese traditions... and of cos, they dun sell gowns... but they sell "kua"... there is one that i like.. the assistant said that it is called "kua wang"... it is sliverish, gold in colour.. it takes about one year to make it... i think even for rental... it also cost $1000+... the below picture is the normal red "kua" that i wanna rent... it has embroidery of the dragon and phoenix.. quite nice... so i decided to give it a try... i dunno why i seem to look farnie or weird in the "kua"... i maybe renting it... it will cost me $298 for rental... and before i take the "kua" out... i have to pay a security deposit of $500... thats alot.. sobsob..
