Wedding Celebrations of Baby Bro & Geraldine!

02 March 2014

It's my baby Bro's BIG day today!

Woke up super early to pump milk, getting Nat ready then rush down for the tea ceremony.  Then pump milk again and getting ready for lunch-out nearby compass point mall with the external family and rush back to wash up Nat and head out again for the ROM ceremony and dinner.  ah Thiang was the VG for their ROM ceremony... he invested $200 on the RODE external mic for this event... finding excuses say next time wanna record his son's video with this mic to justify the purchase of the mic.  *tsk*

Dressing Nat up... only time he fuss and cry was while rolling on the newly wedd couple's bed and the rest of the time was asleep throughout the tea ceremony!

Peekture with my darling Nat before the ROM ceremony!

Another family shot!

Me and my baby Bro, looking all drunk out!  Obviously he was already drunk during the dinner... and during the sending out of guests, he kept telling everyone passing saying "这是我唯一的姐姐！" so so loud... making me so paisei!  *reminding me the scene he say the "one million song" when he was drunk the last time*  #feeling meh!

Jade & Tat Jin's Wedding Celebrations!

23 September 2013

It was a lovely Sunday afternoon celebrating Jade & Tat Jin's wedding!  An outdoor solemnization followed by lunch reception at Sheraton Towers ballroom (the AV in the ballroom was blasting loud, deafing me ears... :( ).  The newly wedd couple left the very night for their 3weeks honeymoon to Europe (cities of Italy, Paris and London... so jelly!).  Can't wait to catch up with them on the highlights of their trip!

The rest of the Sunday was having tea at The Marmalade Pantry with the girls then we headed to Marina Bay Sands, for the collection of ah Thiang's new iPhone 5s (surprisingly no Q!) - the golden rush.  :P

Jade's Hen Night!

15 September 2013

Some peektures taken over last Friday's Jade's belated birthday celebration cum hen night - enjoyed each other's company, catching up with what we not been updated for the past weeks/months... and sharing some motherhood experiences too!  Counting down to 7 more days to Jade's big day!  Whoopwhoopwhoop!

Cheers to two decades of friendship and still counting...!

DIY Props for Jade's Hen Night!

12 September 2013

Wedding bells are ringing next week!  In fact, next Sunday *whoopwhoopWHOOP* - our dear Jade, the last in the group to get married off!  There won't be any wala wala but a quiet sit-down dinner among the few of us (just another get-together session, catching up for the missing times coz we are not party-animals - one single, two moms and one preggie, how crazy can the dinner go... haha!).  And that will be tomorrow at Folks Collective (can't wait to bring them see the nice deco and munch on yummy finger foods!).

Huihui has bought a tiara and a set of wings to dress her up tomorrow!  As for me, done some researches on the internet for party props/ideas and I decided to self-make a "Bride-To-Be" stand for her to hold, for photo-taking and keep-sake!  Hope she'll like it!  :D

 

DIY front-back stand with customized "Bride-to-be" and "I'm single tonight!"... taaddaaaaaa!

一周年快乐！

13 March 2013

It was our 1st Wedding Anniversary celebration at Dozo Restaurant.  I have been meaning to check this place out after much reading on the reviews online and did a two weeks advance reservation!

The set menu comes with 7-course at S$59.90 per pax that comes with starter of the day, welcome drink and choice of 2 appetisers, followed by a main, dessert and drinks.  Selection was generous including foie gras and escargots - everything was well presented!

Welcome drinks to cleanse our taste buds / Our starters - foie gras and smoked salmon and scallop, foie gras chawamushi / king crab claw salad!

Then was the crab bisque soup / baked garlic escargots / hot-stone beef and pork cheek for mains / molten lava chocolate cake and some pudding (not very nice) and dessert drinks!  Cheers to many years ahead!

Our anniversary special - we took many shots of it!  Feeling so shy, coz was asked to make a pose of us kissing and blowing of the candle by the waiter wor...  *BLUSHED*

We bought a pair of golden bands as anniversary gifts, engraved with our wedding date for keepsake and target to collect one pair every each year!  :)

我们的纪念日，祝周年快乐！

Andy & Jessica 的大喜之日！

11 March 2013

又是一个幸福的星期天！

Remember the couple friend whom was linked up last September?  They tied the knot yesterday!  恭喜老爷，贺喜夫人！

We were invited to their wedding solemnization ceremony and luncheon buffet held at The Fullerton Hotel.  Had the chance to popby to their wedding suite which was a loft unit, making ah Thiang & I very excited because we get to 'explore' how high is the height of a loft unit (before getting our unit)!

Below are some of the wedding highlights:

2012 was Beautiful.

01 January 2013

Decided to pen down one of the MOST beautiful moments in 2012;

 

I got married to my ah Thiang and that was the most beautiful thing that has happened in my life.

 

2012 was indeed beautiful.

 

May 2013 be another year filled with warmth, laughter and lots of love for all!  :))

Grace & Chern Min's Wedding Celebrations!

27 December 2012

Love is just a word until two people come together and give the word real meaning.

Congratulations to the gorgeous couple; Grace & Chern Min!  Wedding celebrations held at Marina Mandarin Singapore and we, too are the other gorgeous couple!  Teehee...

Tzer Liang & Helena's Wedding Celebrations!

14 October 2012

Yesterday HXDA celebrated the last wedding of the gang member - Tzer Liang & Helena!  Love the set up of their wedding reception.  All hand-made by Tzer Liang (Helena said one lah, but I'm sure it's both hard work...).  They had pre-wedding photography shots done in casual attires and shooting scene is back to where the love birds met 9 years ago at NTU.  Sweet right... look at that giant angbao at the reception table!?!?!  The couple presented us with a few sets of photo & video montages and a live band to entertain the guests during the dinner.

Oh... forgot to mention, their wedding JP is the same as ours - Mr Chan Kai Yau!  ah Thiang so wanted to go over to say hello and recall to him we are also one of the lovely couples he solemnized 7 months and 1 day ago, the same time (ehmm... the lovely couple, I mean us.).  Teeeheee!

Some gorgeous shots with the gorgeous couple!

Thomas & Jonette's Wedding Celebrations!

24 September 2012

Down to the second last member of the HXDA to tied the wedding knott!

Congratulations to the Quah's!  Today he is organizing an appreciation dinner at the Marriott Cafe to thank all the brothers who helped out on his wedding day.  Spouses are invited too!  Thank you Mr & Mrs Quah.  :)

Very rarely I dolled up my hair for such joyous occassion.  So.  Must-haves to camwhore abit.  Wow. The aftermath of my dolled hair >>> painful bumps and soreness on my scalp from the poking of or-pins onto my hair.  Not going back to the salon to doll my hair.  Ever!  (just because uncle Sunny is not working yesterday that's why I resorted in going to neighbourhood salons...)  Imagine I have to go down second time to have my hair 'tidy' up as ah Thiang says all the or-pins are all visible and looked ugly.  So pek chey.  *sayang-ing my head*

Anyhoots.  Imma also wearing new lace dress to the wedding!  Loving every bits of the lace details, especially the v-back!  Swee bo?  Very victorian right?  Maybe the hair style not so matching (but ok lah, just wanna sweep the hair to one side so that can see the v-back mah).  Tsk.  Too glam for work, probably the next time I get to wear is on Grace's wedding celebrations end of this year.  Heh.

俊男美女 / Lace dress with nice v-back details! / The Quah's / HXDA at the wedding!

Next and last wedding celebrations of the HXDA will be...

More of Us on Her World Brides' Wedding Albums June 2012!

Snippets of the Her World Brides' Wedding Albums in June 2012 issue!

Our wedding story:
It started with a handbag I have been eyeing on and gotten a ride from ah Thiang to go buy that bag.  Unfortunately, the bag wasn't available anymore.  ah Thiang kindly offered to send me to other outlets over the next few days.  "This" led to alternate weekend lunches, dinners, tea and supper dates!

The fairy-tale ending:
I bagged the man, but darn, I never did get to buy the bag!

About the wedding:
Creativity meets fun through colors, eight wheels and the world's most famous toy bricks at this funky wedding!

OH. Oh. We managed to cut out the pages nicely and scan them into soft-copy into flash drives and also a copy of magazine for keepsake! Thanks to ah Thiang for all the work done all night. Muacks!

HXDA Gathering!

26 May 2012

After my long week at an off-site meeting (quarterly sales meeting)... it's meet the HXD session!  Thomas jio-ed the gang for dinner and also to hand us his wedding invitation.  I did RSVP-ed to attend their chruch wedding but unfortunately I cannot make it due to clashes of dates when I have to travel to Thailand for work.  This time, I have two exhibitions setup/tear down back to back in the upcoming weeks.  So I send the Tan's representative, ah Thiang for the church wedding instead.  :(

Dinner venue is at Changi Point and we had eggs for dinner!  FWOAH.  Eggs and berries; expecting lotsa eggs combi just by reading the name of the restaurant... refer to the below pictures > I picked the poached eggs with pink fish (it's salmon lah, pretending to be punny... what pink fish!), ah Thiang ordered some steak that comes with poached eggs too... the rest ordered some spag with poached eggs, some BIG breakfast thingy with scrambled eggs...

Anyways, it was also a birthday treat for Joe's birthday next Monday!  Weeeeee!  ++popsconfetti++  Then followed by a short kopi-session before all of us head home to hit the sack.  Papa Joe was sleepy throughout the dinner and dozing off during the kopi-session while his little Xuan Xuan still actively hopping on the sofa.  Teeeheee!  ++cutelittleones++  :))

Happy First Month Wedding Anniversary!

12 April 2012

The highest happiness on earth is marriage.  Yesh.  We are celebrating our First Month Wedding Anniversary of our love and faithfulness together as Mr & Mrs Arthur Tan!

Waited for ah Thiang to knock off from work (he was trying to send an email out to a customer which took him about an hour long...) in Funan... and couldn't decide on where to have this little celebration, he suggested trying out at the restaurant located next to Funan which was operated and managed by students from Shatec (we (all) used to have our social etiquette course here during our school times...) called Recipes A Bistro.

A 3 course fine-dining experience served by OTJ (on job trainees) > overall... not too bad!  My beef stew is good and desserts are indeed yummy.  Food presentation is superb too!  Will definitely come back again to try out their "Dinner on the Dot" promotion from 5.30pm - 9pm >> how it works: order their featured main course of the week and pay at the price accordingly to the time shown on our food order.  *note: they do are closed on Sundays.

Cheers to a lifetime together ~ Mrs Arthur Tan

Post-Wedding Thank You Dinner!

01 April 2012

Few nights ago, ah Thiang and I arranged our post-wedding thank you dinner for our 兄弟姐妹s at Kombi Rocks!  Dinner is prepared and cooked by our reowned chef cum wedding car driver, ah Hai!  We even arranged for kombi bus to pick up the guests for the dinner at NEX taxi stand.  Such a waste that my Emcees (Geraldine and baby Bro), Pauline and Thomas couldn't make it... hope to catch up with them reaaaaaaal soon!

Shuttle from NEX to Kombi Rocks / All of us wine & dine at Kombi Rocks / Few shots with our Wedding Ang Bao Kombi! / Wedding gift > limited edition mini VW Kombis from Kombi Rocks!
