Pictures from the BS is in!

Long overdue picts! Taken at none other than the Bridal Shop La Balle itself.

Happy that she tried a few beautiful outfits and more to come. Sad that he has to part with his money. But it's not all his!

The rack of gowns. And there's many more on the 2nd level!

Doesn't she look like a manequin?

And finally, being explained all the details to the package *sweats*

Another Step in Life

Besides getting a new house, my Goddess went to sign on a bridal package with a bridal studio today.

The BS is called La Belle Couture. She's read some positive comments on this BS from forums on them. She like the website too for the photos are really unique and shows the relaxed and true self of the couples. The gowns looked nice too.

True enough, the pictures and gowns were of up to my Goddess and the horny devil's expectations. The price was also so much within their budget! Their service was superb too, they didn't hard sell, and spent 3 hours explaining, showing the photos and letting the Goddess try on gowns.

Some pictures taken then will be uploaded soon.

Meanwhile, there are more work to be done. Next step: to meet a Feng Shui master to decide on the auspicious date and booking of ballrooms!

Time too to look at bridal mags and website to get a portfolio of gowns that my Goddess likes...

So much to do and so exciting too!

Watsons Uniquely You Awards

My Goddess just participated in an online contest and won a trip for 2 to Batam.

She also got a good ballot number, 0155, on her first application to new flats, and in the end got her house at TPY.

Thinking that she's on a winning streak, she decided to give it a shot at the new Watsons Uniquely You Awards.

Don't ask me why, but she joined the Fit Figure category...



So do help her fulfill her winning streak, and the $2,000, and vote for her (once a day) at http://www.watsonsyouawards.com.sg/web/youawardsg/awardcat?typeid=1538

Style Weddings My Magical Wedding Proposal - The Conclusion Piece

The holiday trip that my Goddess has won to Batam has another contest component to it. Couples had to submit their most magical moments spent at the trip.

My Goddess submitted a few entries, and this is the one she liked best.


Unfortunately, their entries was not selected. The winner entry was this shot.

This was obviously taken using those pro camera, so of course the shots captured will be nice. Somemore, if the photographer, ie the couple possesses this pro camera, surely he has a keen interest in photography and surely know what works and what doesn't. Surely they will win then!

Oh well, but my Goddess entry has gotten an honourable mention, together with a few others. But no prizes for it though.

The shot that won an honourable mention. Besides the background being nicely lit and romantic, I can't think of any other reason why this deserves an honourable mention.

Arts Fest!

This is so overdue! But I'm getting lazy to post on the blog, cos it takes so damn long to post up the pics. Blogspot, you better upgrade your software and allow us to post more than 5 pictures at one go, and at a faster rate, otherwise everyone will move to livejournal or simply fb or tweeter.

Anyway, there was this Saturday, on the opening of Singapore Art Fest that the Horny Devil and my Goddess went to. It was very exciting and fun, and most importantly, free!

Taking our 1st food break at the Marina Barage

2nd food break! They just kept eating non-stop.

There was some pre-show activities, like magicians, percussionists, caricatures, balloon sculpting...

Having some fun at the barage

My Goddess tried to do jumpingshots, but ended up looking like a stick figure.

A better attempt, but not so graceful too

As 8pm draws near, the crowd starts to pile up too.

Everyone wants a free coke

Look at the number of people!

While waiting for the show to begin, they explored the exhibition centre of the barage.

And the show began

It was a very magnificent and interactive show. The 'praying mantis' was roaming around the public seating area. It was spewing fire at the same time! It was definitely an eye-opener. This was then followed by a series of acrobatic acts and finally ending off with fireworks.

The beautiful fireworks

By the time the show ended, my Goddess and the Horny Devil was dead tired. But they still had one more goodie that they bought but have not eat. So they decided to have fun with it and here is the picture of the day...

Soyjoy!

Syle Wedding Batam Trip

Remember I mentioned that my Goddess took part and won the Style Wedding 'My Magical Proposal' contst? Well, they took their prize last Friday - a 2D1N trip for 2 to Batam.

The prize began at 8am in the morning - check-in at Harbour Front Terminal.

The Horny Devil carrying my Goddess' big bag. You can't blame her for the size as there are just some essentials that you can't leave home without - cleanser, moisturiser, toner, make-up, make-up removal, shampoo, contacts, contacts solution, etc. She already brought them in travel-pack size!

Queuing with 49 other couples

Checking out the goodie in the goodie bag - which only had Clear Men shampoo.. chay~ Thought they will give some Style Wedding magazine for our reference.

Waiting excitedly for the ferry to arrive

Going on board!

The Horny Devil getting bored while waiting for their briefing

A tour around the Holiday Inn premises - they have nice spa facilities (very ex too)

Trying to capture a shot of the flying petals - like you would see in some wedding albums

Still unsuccessful

Lunch was a Chinese restuarant called Dragon Inn Restaurant. The food there was not bad, especially the floss fried brinjal and coffee chicken. Luckily my Goddess and the Horny Devil met another couple whom they already knew and shared lunch together. It was so not so expensive at SGD12 per person.

After lunch, was check-in. The hotel staff kept refering to us as MediaCorp people, made me feel like some celebrity.

Check out our suite! It's damn huge given that only 2 people will stay in it. Feels more like a chalet. There's 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, one dining area, one living room and one balcony.

The beautiful view from their room. Can you spot YP's cousin the picture?

After a short rest, the two of them headed down to Nagoya Hill for some shopping.

And they spotted BFC!

Which stands for Best Fried Chicken

Then they had some fun at the Amusement Centre and hypermart called Hypermart. How original.

Their frozen foodstuffs are up for your pick and not pre-packed. Not very hygenic though.

Even though they try to convince us their french fries are fresh. But this ain't no french fries?

Tea Break at A&W. How can they leave Batam without eating this - curly fries, waffle ice-cream and root beer float. Yumz~

Can't stomach down the bill of 51,000, even though that's only SGD7 plus.

My Goddess loves A&W! Why do they have to leave Singapore?

Finally, doing cheap cheap manicure and pedicure. Costs only SGD25 in total! With nail art some more.

See, I wasn't lying to you when I said their hypermart is called 'hypermart'

Because of the manicure, my Goddess and the Horny Devil was late for the bus, making the whole bus load of people wait for 15 minutes! Tsk tsk~ they always have the habit of coming back late and making the bus wait.

Happy with her beautiful manicure

After washing up, they had a Glamour Night dinner with the other couples. This was the only free thing besides the hotel stay. The food was not fantastic though. Not filling at all!

There were many advertisers and sponsors showcasing their photography, bridal gowns, wedding gifts services.

The huge ballroom

During the dinner, my Goddess spotted this girl having a bun-ed up hair. However, she was using something white, thick and weaved. Reminds my Goddess of those wrapper you use to wrap the pears and apples in the supermarket!

Performances before dinner

The not-so-tasty dinner

Weird tasting soup that is placed intricately in a cup

Wedding gowns showcase. The gowns all look very beautiful! The wedding album shots are quite unique too! It's by Voulans Couture.

Evening gowns showcase

Though the food was sucky, they had an enjoyable night.

The night view from the hotel room

Next morning, continental breakfast at the Terrace Cafe! I always love continental breakfast from hotels because you can get to try so many different varieties~ woohoo!

Taking a picture with YP's cousin before leaving

If you are wondering why the picture appears a little fuzzy nad if the camera is spoilt, the camera is nedded spoilt. My Goddess and the Horny Devil tried to take underwater pictures to submit for their Magical Moment contest (there's this contest held for all the couples , to submit their magical moments spent in Batam), and the supposedly waterproof Olympus camera which my Goddess bought less than a year ago, had water entering it, and the battery compartment was soaked!

Thankfully the memory card was still working and all the pictures are still retrievable. Oh well, the camera will be left for another story another time.

Anyway, it was time to make the decision, to move to another resort or stay in the same hotel for another one night. This is because there is nothing much to do at Holiday Inn. There's a water ski place not too far away, but water skiing was not exactly my Goddess or the Horny Devil's cup of tea. They were thinking more of snorkelling which is available at Nongsa beach, at the other end of Batam.

And so they have decided - to shift to Batam View resort. The resort costs $5 less, they will have more time to spend at the resort without having to pay another $26 to travel back to Holiday Inn and 40min travelling.

Checking in at the resort

The resort room, though small, but cosy

There's a balcony

Getting ready to snorkel!

That's the banana boat and the speed boat which they had taken

The Horny Devil was sad because he hit my Goddess' head twice and shoulder blade once

After the sea sports activity, it was time to explore the resort.

They had a mini zoo!

Beautiful scenery along the resort

A BBQ seafood buffet dinner by the poolside

There was some face-changing and magic show performance as a group of people were having their golf getaway

Yummilicious spread of food

There was a roving performance where the band went around singing for the guests




Though the quality here is not good, they actually sound nice

After dinner, they sat at the lounge and listened to some live performance, and explored their discotheque, a really cool place, which apparently accept PAssion cards

Then it's back to the hotel room. Beautiful night view.

Another day of continental breakfast!

And some tanning before they head back to SG

It's time to call a weekend

And time to go back home. Thank you Style weddings for giving my Goddess this wonderful getaway!

Style Weddings My Magical Wedding Proposal Briefing

Before our trip to Batam on Friday, all participants were supposed to go for a briefing.

The Horny Devil came from work, and so was very thirsty. They almost wanted to buy drinks at McDonald's. Luckily they didn't.

Because there were free drinks available!

The itinerary

And my Goddess was so excited, and the Horny Devil was pretending to be not

Looking forward to the trip on Friday!!

After the briefing, they headed for a late lunch at Waruku @ Marina Square to celebrate their 5 years 3 months monthsary.

Even though there were 49 other couples, which was quite a lot (it's as though the contest had 51 entries and theirs was nothing special), my Goddess was still very excited about the trip. It's a free getaway after all, something new and exciting for the both of them. And deep down, my Goddess knows for sure their proposal must be the most magical of them all!
