Experience on Singapore Flyer - 7 Mar

Thanks to the purchase of our wedding bands, we got a pair of free tickets to the Sg Flyer and be one of the first to take the ride as it has apparently been fully booked till mths later by corporate and group travel bookings.

We took the open-top bus called the Fun Vee from Coleman street to the venue.


The boarding place is a building with shops, restaurants and all...pretty touristic...

Us with the mini waterfall:

30mins ride in the capsule....very good views of Singapore and slightly beyond...heavenly~~~

Us with the next capsule....

Our favourite pic =) .... we went on a hunt for the best spot to take pic with the entire ferris wheel .... and so glad we found it :)

At the end of it, we were famished....and I was so glad to see my favourite Popeyes there! I always lament at the fact of why they never venture out of their outlet at the Airport...and I'm so glad to see it here!!!

Dear didn't like Popeye before becos he didnt like fried food in general. Haha! but he now says that he is starting to like it under my influence.

Us with our Popeye dinner :) .... totally satisfied ......

P.S. Sadly enough, i am not one of those Brides-to-be that actually will diet and keep fit so as to look good on the wedding day. I endeavour to. I signed up at the gym. But i'm just so not disciplined! And i really can't resist all the good food that I like =p ..... I seriously need a gym buddy and one that will force me to go..... =p ... And i will try ....try not to eat so much junk food.....

Feeling closer to the wedding...

Our parents formally met up on Feb 22 together with us at Hung Kang Teochew Restaurant to discuss about our wedding preparations. The venue is apt becos Shian's family are teochews. Hmmm 1st time i had authentic teochew dishes at a restaurant....very different...they emphasize a lot on freshness and healthy food overall ... *think steamed fish* ...haha

Us with parents at the end of the dinner:

Couldn't believe that Shian and I were actually a bit nervous just before our parents met. But glad that everything went smooth..both sides of the family are modern folks who will be leaving most of the planning to us :)

25 Feb - Photoshoot day! We couldn't sleep the night before ...haha....went to the studio bright and early....it was exciting and fun and then it got a little tiring having to smile at the camera continuously....my cheek area was actually trembling and aching! It was fun changing from costume to costume and changing the hairdo...wow! I felt like a star :) We were really blessed with a photographer who is really passionate about his job! He really went the extra mile for us, despite the rain and all. Thank God for that! And .....we actually finished shooting at 10:45pm and apparently broke the bridal shop's record of being the couple that got back the latest from photoshoot!

On 27 Feb, we had our food-tasting at the hotel. The food was good! huge portions and very good service....everyone was telling me that should probably be the time we'll enjoy the food cos we'll be running around on the actual day.....but well well, just hope that the quality of the food and the service will be just as good on the actual day....and really, its not just eating at the food-tasting, we got to be sure to give appropriate comments and feedback so that things can be close to perfect on the actual day!

Us at the end of food-tasting...too bad Karen, CJ and the kids couldn't make it...

6 Mar - Photoshoot pictures are out! It was exciting....we were pretty satisfied with it overall...and spent more $$$ topping up for pics....still...it was really such heartache to see the other pics go down the drain *sob sob*

As the counter on my blog shows.....time is really drawing near to our wedding!!!!
