Beauty & Skincare

extended.

Since i am out and about in the car doing deliveries, by that i mean my husband driving all over singapore while i stare aimlessly and try not to irritte him too much because tgh puasa, cranky mengalah org mengandung!

I did these eyelash extension last 2 weeks just to try them out before Raya. Cos i’ve heard it could be a lil uncomfortable for 1st timers so i didn’t wanna risk snapping on my relatives on 1st Day Raya because of my eyelash vouge ni kan.

Xiaxue had this promo advert on her blog and so i decided on Caragheen which was conveniently located at Liang Seah St.

Our Shoebox, The Husband & Wife

cook.bake.wash

and finally we did our kitchen.

we love, love love the new kitchen and i’m so happy we waited for it. Considering that there might be some drastic changes in 2013, i’m glad we don’t have a reno loan to pay off!

We took quite a few quotations, some were reasonable, some were outright outrageous. As much as i would love to support our malay renovation companies, they either give me shitty quotations or shitty service.

I had actually shortlisted one of the renovation companies and then i got to know my colleague’s husband does renovation works. His quote is about 1k higher than the one i shortlisted but i know it will give me a peace of mind knowing that i’m getting a person i can trust to do up my kitchen. So i went ahead with it.

Kitchen Projects, The Husband & Wife

our 1st ramadhan

Has been pretty awesome, really.

I’ve pretty much try to be more hands-on in the kitchen more, cook more for iftar and i’m happy at the end of the day, when we sit down for iftar, bila dia baca doa buka puasa, satu macam nya feeling yang tersangat best.

Imperfect he may be, in other’s eyes. But i choose to only see the perfect side of him.

This would be our 1st Raya together, and i’m excited to see how our plans would be.

Suka main tiup-tiup?

I was browsing around some wedding blogs (why am i still browsing wedding blogs, i have no idea!) and came across these really cute balloons Save-The-Date Cards.

Basically u just print your wedding details on the balloons and get your guests to inflate the balloons to know the details.

Pretty cool kan? Awesome if you have those fun and colourful wedding themes!

Cool aside, this will not work if you are printing like 500 cards.
The printing on the balloon will cost a bomb. Technically u’re printing twice the amount for your wedding cards so it’ll probably be best you keep this to your dinner reception.

Makcik2 kalau dapat card macam ni, 7 hari 7 malam dia menyumpah korang.
Sesak nafas dia nak tiup belon!

Still on the topic of balloons, we know how balloons always managed to light up the atmosphere and if done correctly, balloons can add a little extra of class to your wedding without making it look like a 3-year old birthday party.

I love the idea of these inverted balloons. Instead of having the ribbons hovering over you, you have the balloons instead, like a chandelier. Pair this with Fairy lights. awesome.

Apparently, the trick to doing this is to just add a marble in the balloon to add the weight!

How I Managed The Wedding Budget

Disclaimer: I know this post is somehow viral now and i really hope you have a good read. 
However, do take note my wedding took place in 2011 and most of the price indicated below is in 2011 ok! Other than that, i hope you have a great takeaway from this entry. 🙂 

Sometimes, i get asked on how much i spend for my wedding. Especially by friends yang dah pasang niat (atau pun dah gatal) nak naik pelamin. lol

and most of the time, i can’t give them an exact amount but i know it was less than $12,000 for our combined wedding.

This is achievable but i believe with much discipline, good contacts and lotsa luck. lol

This may or may not work for some people but then again, i just wanna share on how u can cut cost on your wedding.

Do bear in mind, my wedding was a combined wedding for 800 pax and i started planning for it in less than 9 months cos i got my house in January and have to get married latest by October.
