Wedding Collection

I am not getting married (anytime soon) and this collection is about the different dresses I'm sourcing for the 5 weddings in the later half of this year. Since I am only helping out for Queen's wedding in July, I will just need to get 1 gorgeous one. For the rest, I shall make do with whatever I can find in my humble wardrobe. At most, make a trip to Joani's place and ransack both her sister's and her collection!

Last night, I started my mission with Joani as my consultant. I scoured various sites and scanned the numerous kinds of dresses and I am proud to say I found 2 designs that are quite desirable. On J's recommendation, get the designs and show it to her tailor-ess. I like the idea since it will almost be mission impossible to find a dress I like off the shelves, especially when I really need them! Proven and tested.

Alright design #1: Halter neck design with ruffles at the neckline. The empire-waist design does seem to help enlongate one's lower body, which might not be a bad idea for someone without long limbs.

Anyway I like how this dress is so flowy with a princessy feel to it. It is also very simple with not much frills to it and it embodies this subtle classiness, which really brings out the best in the person.

Of course if I have my way, I might not have the empire-waist design and definitely not this long! But overall, it is superbly pleasing to the eye. Meanwhile I shall not have my arms too buffy-looking (since I swim!!!!) otherwise I will look more gladiator-ish then glam! Kekekeke.

Design #2: I don't know how to label this design but unlike the normal toga tops, which leave one side of the shoulder bare, this covers it up with a nicely embroidered fabric and it ups the glam factor to the whole piece don't you think?

I chanced upon this piece just when I was about to call quits as I was getting real tired from the search! And I tried to imagine myself in this and I didn't puke nor shriek. Joani didn't get to see this piece but I don't think she will have much violent objections to it lah. Maybe its another of the 90s' design but I don't really care alr!

If I do go for this piece, I shall have it in either cream/beige/peach. Can't imagine this in a shade of green!

Why all the fuss since I'm not the bride???? Well well...its my dearest friend getting hitched and as one of her jie-meis, I cannot look too sloppy or normal although my normal is already quite good-looking! A good time to also splurge on classy dresses to be collected for future use!

For all my other friends out there who will be getting married soon....please do not make my life too difficult by having weird colors or designs to the dress code yah??? ITS AN EQUALLY STRESSFUL PERIOD FOR THOSE HELPING OUT OR ATTENDING!

More collections to come as I continue my mission...I can't imagine when I do get married. DIE.

The new kids on the block (maybe I end up not getting any of these designs! haha)



This emerald embellished Karen Miller is quite a winner.
Now its just whether the boutique in Singapore has it at a good price. If not I might have to purchase it online, which is always a risk! Nonetheless I see myself wearing it at least once, which is why I'm likely to buy it even though its quite steep in price.

This tailored cream/navy drape dress also caught my attention. Just like the combination of the colors and the design is pretty unique. But is it too corporatey looking??? Definitely an option too (online!)

Alright....its decision time!

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

Universal Studio

Thanks to YOG I got to enter Universal Studios @ Resorts World Sentosa ytd for free! Yes...rides were free and I had a $10 food & beverage voucher. Ok....sometimes I'm grateful that I'm a teacher because we are really one of the few professions who will enjoy such privileges :) Introducing the bevy of gorgeous ladies of Pei Hwa Sec : Miss Grace Tan, Miss Sophia Tan, Miss Shirley Tan and Miss Roslinda ! Don't you love the donkey ears???!!! WE WERE SERIOUSLY AMUSING OURSELVES IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP! Alright...this is the first but not my last time visiting U.S.S because I'll be going there again in Nov for my dept's learning journey. Don't ask me how we are going to think up PE lessons from visiting the theme park but miracles do happen! So after loosening the leash around the 51 kids whom we accompanied yesterday evening, the 6 female teachers (where are all the men??? tsk tsk...) went about to have a wild time of feasting on 20" pizzas, running after cart...
