More wedding preps!

Since a month ago, every weekend is wedding preparations weekend for my Goddess and the Horny Devil.

Last Sunday, my Goddess and the HD went down to City Square to do some wedding prep shopping.

After braving through the incorrigible jam, they reached at 2pm and went to "客人来" for lunch.

Nice noodles but super salty egg and taopok!

Then it was dessert time at Baskin Robbins!

This was followed by hours of shopping and searching - for the HD's shirt, vest, their props etc.

Resting time with Roibo!

Catching a wink of sleep

Initially they wanted to go out for some cheap and good food one. But they ended up shopping till very late - 8pm and it seems too late and dangerous to head out. So they ended up settling their dinner in City Square too.

When they finally left JB, it was like 10pm already. Luckily for my Goddess, her home wasn't too far away from there, and so she reached home in 30 minutes time!

And the trip was really fruitful cos they bought a vest for HD, some props for their shoot and most importantly cheap contact lenses that are less than half the price in Singapore, and these lenses are meant to enhance their eyes too! Hee~

This weekend, it's gown fitting and make-up trial time!

My Goddess Wedding Diary

Some people have been asking me to put up pictures of the gown selection that my Goddess recently went for. So here it is:

My Goddess and the Horny Devil went for their gowns and suit selection on Sun 7 Nov. They thought they already took along time - 5 hours in total! But actually the average time is 6 hours.

But the two of them were like super zonked out at the end of it all.

Don't know why cannot take picture openly. First, the gowns would have been taken pictures of when wedding couples take photos and post them up. And if competitors really want to copy, they would have sent spies down.

Anyway, here are some secretly taken shots of the gowns she tried on, but didn't select.



Thinking back, this looks abit like a curtain

And this gives a Disney princess feel - one of my Goddess' fave



2-in-1 gown

And here's the actual gown my Goddess will be wearing...

Haha, gotcha! It will be a secret to everyone else until the actual day! Then it will add an element of suspense and surprise to all. So be on the lookout here after 22 May!

Two weeks after the gowns were selected, they also bought their wedding shoes.

My Goddess couldn't decide whether to get pink or silver shoes, and almost went to custom-make one silver pair like that in the picture!

  
Turns out the silver one is some expensive US brand 'Christian-dunno-what', maybe Louboutin that costs USD200!!

In the end, she found an almost same pair of pink shoes, if not funkier ones one day! And furthermore, it's like below SGD100, and can be worn out in future.

Tada! K, the pictures are not very clear here cos my Goddess' hp ran out of batt that day and couldn't take pics with flash. Love the Horny Devil's shoes - shiny and pristine. And it costs more than my Goddess shoes ok?

ps: if you can find any silver ones like those in the picture, please let m know?

Happy Birthday Paper Polly (Part 1)

Paper Polly is turning one soon on 18 November! Time flies. It was a year and slightly more back that Aim, my Goddess bestest Thai friend asked her over MSN one day whether Singaporeans shop online and where do they go to shop, so that she can sell clothes from Thailand here.

Then my Goddess thought it was a good idea for them to collaborate. Since Aim has the stocks, and my Goddess the language, the local market understanding and expertise (limited though, in photoshop and programming/blogs :p).

And so their collaboration started. First with really sweet and young dresses, and collections named after fairytale themes.

Then they turned to styles that were modern and stylish, and imported clothes from other countries like HK and Vietnam.

When flower prints, denim and playsuits, jumpsuits were in. These were brought in these designs too for their shoppers' fashion craves.

They also moved on to bring in plain and simple style dresses, blouses and pants that were suitable for work and more formal occasions. Clothes were also sourced from more countries now - Taiwan, Korea, China!

And not to forget, sexy barebacks and chic evening dresses for clubbing and pubbing, or that upcoming friend's dinner.

And there's also more casual maxis and minis, for the beaches and to hit town for the girl-bonding window shopping.

Their cover page has also evolved to feature a more stylish and clean look - inspired by ASOS and Forever 21.

So as you can see, through the one year, my Goddess and her bestie is trying their best to improve Paper Polly's offerings (we hope you feel that we have improved over the year too!), and to bring in a wide range of styles that will suit any occasions and all budgets - as all their items are all below $30!!

Happy Halloween

Can't stand people who dress up sexily for Halloween - it's supposed to be a scary/horror dress-up, not a chance for you to wear skimpily.

Anyway, my Goddess and the Horny Devil went to the Night Safari's Halloween special. This is their first Halloween visit even though it has been around for a long time. The experience was quite fun as the ghosts were really very nicely made up.

To make things more fun, and also to do crazy things before they get married and old, the two of them played dress-up too - my Goddess has a ghost girl and the Horny Devil 如花, the ugly Chinese woman.

He was supposed to dress up as Edward Scissorshand, but in the end he was inspired by a You Tube 'How to dress up like an Ugly Bitch' video.

 

So here's how they look in the end.

My Goddess met some long-lost friends...



And some ghosts weren't that scary after all...

The most exciting part of the event was the 'Gui' Mansion, otherwise known as the Ghost Mansion. It's a new extension to Night Safari - where they built a ghost house from a tent. Amazing~



But too bad they queued like an hour plus for a 5 minute walk. And it would be more exciting if there were tasks for the visitors to do/ story behind the house - so it becomes more like halls' fright night.

The Horny Devil likes this pic the best

The Train of Terror ride was very cooling and quite fun. My Goddess especially love the setup of the failed Chinese wedding.

This is more scary than the ghosts!

Vodoo Boyfriend Doll is all ready for the ride

Too bad their friends were tired after the train ride. If not my Goddess and the Horny Devil would have taken the foot trail to see more ghosts - make their money's worth, hah.

Shagged out

So this was what happened two weeks ago, I know this is a little belated, but here's my Goddess and I wishing you a Happy Halloween 2010. Till we talk about this next year~

Boo!

Yoga by the Sea

My Goddess and the Horny Devil had a healthy and spiritual weekend as they signed up for the Yoga by the Sea mass workout session.

Stiff neck

Flying kick!

Flying kick 2!

The response was surprising good. See how many yoga enthusiasts there were!

See the sea of people! Yoga by the sea indeed.

The Horny Devil doing his fave yoga pose - corpse pose while waiting for the event to start.

It started out fun and happy until 5 minutes before the start of the event. Three morons refused to walk to the other side of the tent but chose to squeeze in the what little space there is in front and beside us.

Can you see how close the mats were? Especially to the right of my Goddess, there was hardly any space and their hands will surely hit each other when they move around.

Feeling uncomfortable with the close proximity, my Goddess asked the girl beside her if she can move in front. The girl was still ok to shift. Well, she ought to since they came in and invaded their space!

But when she shifted in front, her bitch friend stared back at us and think we bullied her friend! She was like telling her that the space doesn't belong to us and she don't have to shift up.

TMD, this was in face the best arrangement wad, bitches! You three morons can be side by side, and at the same time, we are not sticking to each other side by side.

Dunno what these morons are thinking (doubt they are at all), invaded to others' space since my Goddess and the Horny Devil came much earlier and still want to bitch so much. Pui~

6.5 Months More!

I know I haven't been updating the blog for the longest time. Ever since my Goddess came back from her Taiwan trip, she's been really occupied with work, gym and Paper Polly, and in between a Halloween trip to the Night Safari. She uses the comp to 1am every night, I don't even have any chance to go near the computer!

Anyway, time flies, it's 6.5 months more to my Goddess' big day. So it's time to rev up on the preparations again. This means on top of work, gym and Paper Polly, she'll spend more time researching online for wedding ideas.

I promise I'll try to update on her Taiwan and Halloween trip, as well as her wedding plans as soon/much as I can!

So I was saying, wedding prep is gearing up for full steam. Wedding photography date has been set, gown selection date fixed, and trial makeup date settled. So far, things seem to be on track and it has been fun (let's hope it remains this way).

She has been diligently eating her expensive honey from Taiwan everyday, and going to the gym regularly. Just bought a cellulite buster cream - hope that works for her; Looking for bust enhancing cream, any recommendations? And hair mask and eye mask affairs are going to happen every alternate day, face masks twice a week. Hope she'll look radiantly healthy by the day of her photoshoot. Wish her luck~

Anyway, new collection has been launched. All items have been hand-picked by my Goddess from her Taiwan trip, which also means 1 piece per item only. So leave your orders now before someone else does!

Peace & Quiet

It's been a week since they've left. It's been a long time since we had full freedom and privacy in our own house, more than one year in fact. The house is clean and quiet once more!

Chunky Chunk Fest

My Goddess had an exciting weekend just this week.

First on Saturday, she and her bff, Chewy went to have a free hair makeover, with compliments from Her World and Redken!

Okay, perhaps it wasn't totally complimentary. My Goddess had to take a cab down to the venue cos she was late. And the reason? She wanted to take the train via Bukit Batok then Jurong East and onto the East bound train. My Goddess hardly takes the train, and just this day that she decides to take the train, the MRT interchange at Jurong East just has to be under construction (!) And so she had to spend another 20 minutes on the shuttle bus from Jurong East to Clementi. By then she knew she will be late, and so took a cab down which costs her $16!! So actually the hair makeover actually is not free, but costs $16 :(

In a rush, my Goddess also didn't have much chance to take the before and after pics. I guess you should already know her messy before pic already anyway.

looking like a poodle

Here's the after picture - more curls
(which the Horny Devil doesn't like)

After which, my Goddess, her bff and the Horny Devil headed down to Ben & Jerry's Chunkfest! My Goddess has always wanted to go down to the event each year but didn't do so in the end. This year, she finally made it! Unfortunately, there wasn't any free ice-cream giveaways. Only Moolah dollars for you to redeem B&J's goodies.

The event was really colourful and fun, and they had a good time taking crazy pics.

They bought 3 scoops of ice-cream to share - some maple flavour one, one is peacon and the last vanilla health bar.

It all looks the same from here

And here's how the Moolah looks like - damn cute

The ice-cream was fantastic, the setup was great. There were mats laid all over for people to sit around and enjoy the band performances. The bands weren't great unfortunately, but the ice-creams, great photo ops and fabulous company made up for it.

And yes, they love ice-cream and so do I!

Then on Sunday, my Goddess and the Horny Devil went for a marriage preparation seminar organised by SPH and MarriageCentral. Although topics covered were things that were already known, it surfaced the topics to the top of mind and there were some form of self-actualization in some ways.

For example, listening before talking, never use divorce in your arguments, respecting the difference between men and women, budgeting your finances, coming together to decide the spending ceiling to consult each other etc.

But some interesting things that were brought to light to my Goddess were, M actually decreases pleasure of S because the grip and hence sensual pleasure is different. And lubricants kill sperms, so if you are trying to conceive, do not use them.

The participants were also given a very useful guidebook which have several chapters covering the different areas of contention you will encounter with your spouse. There are what to do and not to dos, and pages of which you pledge your commitment in certain areas to each other.

Some good points include:

• Marriage only works when you don't expect the moon and stars to shine brightly all the time. Unnecessary expectations put unnecessarily strain on r/s.
• If you marry a sunflower, don't expect it to smell like a rose. Trying to change your spouse to suit you will only end up in great despair and frustration.
• Don't be frustrated if your spouse doesn't respond in the same way as you. Remember that his or her uniqueness is what attracted you in the first place.

These are really relevant and true points which we neglect all the time. Guess my Goddess will keep the guidebook with her, read it on and off, so as to keep the marriage (to-be) going. Along the way, if she reads some interesting points and have time to share with me, I will share them with you too.

Here's me/the Horny Devil signing off on a lighter note.

Peace!
