Yes, I'm getting married! =)
We had initially thought of a simple wedding but it is always never about 2 persons but 2 families so now I'm getting headache and stressed over the planning. :p But lucky our wedding is in 2018 so I still have plenty of time to do research.
We have confirmed our wedding dinner at one of the hotel and deposit has been placed to secure our booking. That's one thing off the checklist. I have also just confirmed a photobooth, going to place deposit by end of this month. I'm now looking around bridal shops for actual day packages, the things included are almost the same but the price may differs.
The first bridal shop I went to was in JB, Malaysia when the mister and me had a 3D2N staycation at DoubleTree Hilton near Citysquare mall. I will update that in a separate post. I went to Digio Bridal Cafe but the price was not to my liking. :p I then headed next door to H Gallery and I tried on 3 white gowns and an evening gown, I liked the white gown most especially the bottom mermaid design but the back is not revealing enough. The mister liked the evening gown though. I like classic design with a little bit of sexiness. :) The price is quite good for the whole package (less than SGD 700), though it doesn't include Kua (tea dress) and makeup.
Back to the shops in SG, I went to Malena Bridal Haute Couture during GSS sale and the package price they offered were pretty decent. I like the white gowns but evening gowns were limited so I had my hesitations. Since this was GSS sale, the SA was trying to ask me to take their package since I like their gowns. When it comes to slightly huge amount, I will think twice instead of impulse decision as I haven't seen around other bridal shops. The SA said I won't be able to get this price again if I left but I said it's ok, I will come back again if I really like the package.
I have made appointment at La Belle Couture soon because I really like their gowns design. I have also contacted Digio Bridal and The Gown Warehouse, am hoping I can find something I like and confirming it soon.
I have also checked out our wedding bands from Love & Co. and I'm thinking to check it out at Michael Trio too. I'm not sure if we should have it custom-made instead, as Nelly has recommended me to check out Josi Gem. But let me settle my actual day package first. :)
It can be an excited yet scary thing to plan for a wedding, nothing grand but full of blissful feeling. I'm so happy to have found the right man and he is putting in effort in running around finding the perfect gown I want. =)
I can't wait for the day to arrive to marry the love of my life!
P.S: Please leave down your email address in the comment box if you want to find out more about the package price or what is included. :)

2nd Anniversary at Cocobolo Poolside Bar + Grill
Times flies ~~~ We have known each other for 3 years but together 2 years only - our daily lives are like old couple, no gifts on occasions and spending time with each other once or twice a week only. :(
I have been feeling so tired because my house have been going through a revamp - changed the sofa, shoes cabinet, whole set of air-conditioners and now bed-frames and mattresses! The mister insisted to meet for dinner on Tuesday (actual day of anniversary), so I am quite important to him. :p
I'm so surprised that he got a Kate Spade bag for me because he will never want to buy stuff that are too expensive (maybe only stingy to himself). I have eyed on this bag since a month ago and he knows it. :) Thank you Baby <3
We had our dinner on a Friday (23rd Dec) because he has won a dinner voucher previously by taking part in a radio station contest. Dinner was at Park Hotel, Clarke Quay area. I'm sorry that my following post may sound angry/offensive because I had encountered bad services and people cutting my queue at Taxi Stand.
I'm glad that we don't have to pay for this dinner because I will not want to spend the price on such ambience/food. :)
The poolside are was small, there were ants on the tables and the ambience made me felt itchy all over. We told the staff about the voucher and he said it's alright and showed us to our seat. It was all BBQ stuff, salad bar and some dessert counter. I only had a steak, some sotongs, 2 prawns and that's it! I told the mister I will not go again even if it was for free.
Halfway through the meal, the staff came and told us we cannot use the voucher because it is festive season. The voucher can only used on Fri, Sat & Sun and is valid till 29-Dec-2016 so 23rd Dec is the last day we can use the voucher since 24th is eve and 25th is public holiday. I told the staff that we are not using on the eve and they never state that 23rd is festive season. The mister was getting angry (he is a quiet person and very nice always but when he know that fault is not with him, he will argue the reason)! He demanded to see the manager - the staff went to check with another colleague and they allow us to utilise the voucher (we not gian png type, we can pay if we want). After that, NOBODY came to clear our plates or refill our water when there were not many customers! I was so angry that I wanted to leave but it was raining heavily so we had to wait till the rain stopped! Argh~~~~ I don't think I will want to go back there again!
I had a black face while walking to Clarke Quay where we wanted to have drinks - encounter another super rude service at Wings bar. I walked to the table with 3 seats but the waitress said I can only take the seat for 2. Ok Fine! Then 2 groups of 2 people came and they took those tables with 3 seats -.-" what is this?!
It really spoilt my night and luckily we managed to get a table at Shuffle Bistro Bar where I can listen to some nice songs performed by liveband.
After some time there, the mister suggested HaiDiLao for Supper and oh ya, it was my 2nd HDL within a day because I had HDL with colleagues for lunch. :p This made me cheer up a little yet feel sleepy already :D
We finished at around 2.15am and while queuing at the taxi stand, there were many people who were drunk and they were still in the queue. While it was my turn, I saw this lady dressed in sleeveless top and denim jeans who were pretending to text suddenly appeared in front of me and the next thing I knew is, she walked to the taxi and got in. I immediately shouted "Oei! Cut queue, you don't know how to queue up is it!". The taxi coordinator knew what was happening but he was stunned too. The guilty lady dare not look at me - I just wanted to make her malu of her own actions. I should have just got in the passenger seat and demand her to get off the cab (my mood was super bad that day!).
Thinking of it, I still feel 不甘心 to let someone cut my queue while waiting for taxis.

Day 1 of Taiwan 2016 - Taipei
I have neglected my blog for the past 6 months - it has been a busy and fulfilling for the first half of year 2016. I'm here to blog about my Taiwan trip in April this year as many people has been asking about my itinerary. I planned my trip very detailed and make sure I won't leave out fun places/eating places during my holidays.
This is our 2nd trip together - the mister's family sent us to the airport late at night as our flight was at 1am. I'm super thankful for that!
The mister also changed a lot of Taiwan Dollars and he said its for me to shop! How sweet is him - he always do little things for me and yet sometimes I still complained. He made me feel guilty at times - I promised to treat him better. :p
The mister slept the moment we are on the flight -.-" (He was really tired from a day of work!)
We took Jetstar since there was a promotion and we paid SGD $520 for 2 pax.
We touched down Taoyuan airport at 6am and I was feeling super hungry by then - we went to the convenience store and bought a bottle of milk and tea leaves egg [the mister loves to drink the milk].
We also purchased the bus tickets at NT250 for for 2 to go to Taipei Main Station where we can take the MRT to Ximen. The journey was pretty fast, about 40 minutes.
We reach cityinn ximending around 8.30am - this hotel is my choice everytime I go to Taipei. It is near exit 3 of Ximen station and across the road is 西门町商圈.
We took a 4 hours room - NTD 1200 (if I'm not wrong) because we are dead tired from the night flight. We really slept deeply and woke up an hour earlier to wash up before checking out (our official room check-in was at 3pm). After checking out, we headed to Ah Chung Mian Xian for our 1st meal of the day. But, the mister saw a japanese store just before Ah Chung Mian Xian and he ordered the fried chicken!
It was as usual long queue for Ah Chung Mian Xian but it moves pretty fast and we got a large bowl to share.There was slight drizzle and across the stall was a long queue (including old grandpas and grandmas) queuing for limited edition sport shoes (think related to Kobe's retirement). I know Taiwanese love sports shoes collection so much!
We walked around Ximending before heading to PS hair salon to look for Kino, my trusted hair stylist in Taipei! There were many branches there and his branch (largest one) is situated above T.G.I.F at 西宁南路.
The mister also looking forward to haircut and hairdye. I just want to do treatment and cut my fringe like those taiwanese girls. But in the end, I still do a hair perm + treatment which cost less than SGD $150. My perm received much compliments from friends too (but just that my fringe looks weird due to the perm :p).
But I'm happy that Kino can always make my hair looks so pretty! :D
We went back to the hotel to check-in after we finished our haircut by 8pm - that was pretty long! The mister has to wait for me for a few hours. :(
After checking in, we had to rush out to Gongguang night market and Shida night market. There was nothing much at Gongguang except for the famous 蓝家割包 and 青蛙撞奶 (basically just pearls with milk).
So we finally tried the 割包, it is like kung ba bao except that they added 梅菜 and peanuts crumb and (sour plum powder, i think?). We can choose if we want fat or lean meat but I chose half of each. The 割包 cost NT50. The mister is happy that we finally tried this which we saw from youtube video.
Next, there was a long queue for 陈三鼎撞奶，it reached my turn very soon! I tried it and it was yummy! The mister is not a fan of bubble tea but when he tried the 青蛙撞奶, he liked it and finished it for me. :) We shopped around Gongguang night market (don't waste too much time there) for a while and proceeded to Shida Night Market which was a station away.
Shida Night market has decreased in size over the years but there was one stretch which was still pretty active and they had yummy food. We saw a 盐水鸡 store that had super long queue and the mister thought that it must be good and he queued 45 minutes for it! [We taobao it for supper and it turned out to be NOT NICE! NOT NICE! NOT NICE!] It is purely boiled chicken cut into pieces and mixed with vegetables of your choice, bland and no taste.
After queuing for the chicken, we proceed to walk around a bit more before heading back to Ximending. We passed by a 许记生煎包 (5 for NT20) and it was delicious though I'm not a fan of 生煎包,
Upon reaching Ximending, we went to the 7 (that's what Taiwanese pronounced 7-11) to get some drinks for supper too. As there's lots of these "toys" machine in Taiwan, the mister tried his luck at catching this owl lock which I liked. It took him 5 tries (NT50) and he's happy with the catch. LOL! :)

Novotel Bangkok Platinum Pratunam Hotel Executive Suite
I just travelled to +66 (Bangkok) in April this year with my boy and it's our 1st official trip, had a super enjoyable & great time with him! :)
We booked the trip quite last minute and we decided to take Singapore Airlines because there was promotional price at around $280 per pax. It was also nice that Novotel (I'm an Accor member so I get to earn points) has a promotion then which was stay 3 nights pay 2 nights! The boy and me decided to go for the excutive suites (there were only 11 suites room) and the only room type with bathtub. The original price was S$900 plus for 3 nights but due to the promotion, we only paid around S$600. This price also includes unlimited beverages, free flow of dessert buffet & alcohol from 5-7pm daily.
Instead of the usual check-in lobby at level 6, we were brought to the Premium lounge on 24th level, as if we were VIPs. :p
We did our check-in and were being served our welcome drink.
The service of the staff was awesome and we were given our room card quite fast (we were assigned to the room on 21st level with beautiful view). We decided to head up to the room first at 4.30pm as it was fast approaching 5pm which was the dessert buffet time!
The executive suite consists of a living room, a bedroom, bathtub with separate toilet & shower facilities and there were televisions in both living room and bedroom. It was pretty spacious for the both of us.
It is totally heaven!!! :D
We headed up to the premium lounge at 5pm, here are the shots of the dessert buffet.
The one who is most happy is my boy because there are free flow of alcohol!
It was basically a very relaxing trip for us, we rested most of the time in the room especially him! He would take nap after breakfast and afternoon sleep too, while I would go shopping myself in Platinum mall too. My boy also accompany me to shop, seeking his opinion on the clothes I bought and paying for it. He was having blisters on his legs, therefore he rested in room most of the time.
Breakfast buffet is included too, there wasn't much varieties but the egg omelette and pancake are nice!
Because the service at the premium lounge is so good that my boy went up to the lounge on our last night to give tips to 2 staff there who have been serving us often.
Below are some photos I took of the pool area and bar area where they have live bands every night.
This hotel also provides complimentary TukTuk service to nearby areas such as Big C, Siam Paragon, MBK etc from 10am-7pm.
Thanks my boy for such a memorable trip and I'm looking forward to our next trip soon. :)
