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...

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
