My most favorite wedding on earth!

My most favorite wedding on earth!


Whose else but my dearest cheeky funny brother's one??????

OMG I'm just so happy for him. Finally somebody agreed to marry him, lolz. I, dad and mom have been so worried about he might be single for long time and no one wants to get married with him because his characters, just like rock and roll, funny and forever-immature as what Daddy always annoyingly complains.

Now, everyone 's tension was released. I took 5 days annual leave to fly back Vietnam to attend his wedding and also rewarded myself by a short trip back home. It was so good even though there weren't many night activities there as compares to Singapore and I couldn't visit the Ha Long Bay as planned.

All of my time was packed by the wedding preparation, seeing the relatives and spending sometimes with family. Nevertheless, I was really happy. Loads of cam-whore pics but I might be just putting few only as I didn't have time to photoshop them all yet. First photo to kick start the journey: breakfast with momo

I love taking photo with her.

She is always acting cute when she is with me, I can't stop myself from hugging and kissing on her cheeks. The funny thing is she likes cam-whore like I do, lolz....
*******************

That was the first morning in Vietnam. After that we went back home to prepare for the lunch for my family and relatives. You guess how many of them came? Tell me about it, i lost count and heard from mom and daddy, there was almost 100 of them from dad and mom's side.

God Good, I wanted to faint when i see so many people in my house and I couldn't remember all of my relatives -_-. To be honest, I don't like when my house is so crowded, just not used to it at all. Some aunties, uncles asked me "Do you still remember me"- "Oh yes, I remember". They continued "So what is my name"- "Errrhhhh, *silly face* am sorry I can't recall".

Sounds so stupid right? But it's real I swear. What a shame that I couldn't recall my relatives' names. Anyway, thanks God that everyone was busy with the wedding and I had an excuse to run here and there so I was escaped. A night before the actual wedding which is called "Bachelor party" for my bro, we really had a blast and I was so happy to see my babe enjoy the crowd and enjoyed himself. I felt bad coz letting him to stay inside the room for almost a 2 days -_-. We had a good time "bottom up" drinking and K-singing together.


They were challenging my boyfriend to drink. At the end, he challenged them back by eating chilly and drinking at the same time.

Drink again at KTV. Look at my bro's mouth (the one with the black short), lolz

The group was staying up until 2am and amazingly we all could wake up at 7am next day for my brother's big day. He woke up at 4am himself. Next morning, that was the most exciting thing i wanted to do in the weeding: accompanying my brother to pick up the bride :D So fun!


Camwhoring on the way to the bride's house. It was hot and sunny day, yet i was wearing RED

The wedding procedures in Vietnam are pretty simple. The groom just needs to go to the bride's house, picks her up. Both will have to pray, get some gifts from the bride's relatives, serve the bride's parents or grandparents tea and that's it. Leaving the bride's place after half an hour, we went back to my house where my mom was waiting for her daughter-in- law to come in her room to greet her.


My brother looked so tensed so I asked him to smile abit and this was what he did.


Reached home. We head to the hotel thereafter for the weeding lunch, I coincidentally became a photographer of the wedding from the start til the end and poor me, I didn't have time or chance to eat anything at all. Show you some photos i took, quite nice ehhh :D


Wedding cake!


I love this pic, so artistically taken :D


Cutting cake

Pouring wine together


and drink together


I and Keef


with mommy


My sis-in-law who is same age with me


Not sure where Daddy went, he must be busy entertaining his friends that's why i missed out in this family photo


I borrowed the wedding bouquet for camwhoring purpose :D
Post- weeding:
Family time. We went to the beach for a seafood dinner and enjoyed the sea view. The beach wasn't so fantastic because it was low season hence there was no tourist at all but who cared? I just wanted to satisfy my seafood craving.


Seafood dinner by the beach is always the best
My most favorite facial expression, lolz


I'm so happy that my house now have one more person. She can help me to take care of mom and dad while I'm not there with them.

She can cook, take care of the house and take care of my brother too. But again, I'm feeling abit pressure now because after my brother, it will be ME to be in their worry list if i don't get married in next 2 years. *Sigh* I hate to think of that because I don't want to be urged in doing something. Also, obviously I can't urge my boyfriend to marry me, it just sounds so desperate.

Nah, better not think of that too much. Thing will happen when the time is right! Ok Can't imagine that i'm alone while writing this blog entry, boyfriend is busy at the bar to take care of the staffs. *Yuck*. Good night people!

BANGKOK GETAWAY

BANGKOK GETAWAY


Back from Bangkok 2 days ago and now only I have time to blog about it while I'm having a real bad sore throat plus sneezing non-stop. I'm going to fall sick for sure this holiday.

My trip was short, only three days two nights and the purpose of going there was to pray the super powerful four faces Buddha in the center of Bangkok. I've never been there so I was very excited and looking forward to it a week ago.

I even went to do manicure a day before for Bangkok and also it will look more presentable to Buddha. That showed I was serious in what I did, right?

Ok, start with manicure session. Swear to God, if all the ladies in this world were like me, then all the nails salons would close down their business. I could even count how many time I've done manicure, pedicure in my life. I'm just rather too lazy and busy to sit there for 2, 3 hours for nothing so it will be very rare to see me in the nail salon. Anyway, last week I did it in my client's place, so it's a different story :D


My 100% real nails after cleaning, shaping and massaging.


The nail artist is trying to shape up my nails :D
Make it short, here is the last result!


Pricing for a basic manicure is just S$19.

That's all my preparation plus the super last minute packing because I didn't have much time to do it earlier. I was like quickly pack everything at 11am and left the house at 11.30 so that I could catch my flight at 1pm. I managed to do it! Not once but many times. I'm sSo proud of self for making it happen :D

I was here on the airplane waiting to board! Camwhore on the plane to start my whole journey is a MUST. :p


Keef and me.
He was playing games and didn't look like interested in taking photo that much. That's why his face looked so funny. Nevermind. 



After 2-hour flight, we quickly checked in our hotel- Arnoma, locates in the heart of Bangkok, very close to the temple we went and also close to many markets, shopping centres here. Awesome! ^_^
Our hotel room, sorry a bit messy because I took it in the next morning when we just got up :D


Hotel service was good, nice and clean room, convenient and most importantly, hotel staffs are so friendly and helpful. I like! rate 7/10.

After checking in, we quickly walked to the temple and prayed. Less than 15 minutes, we reached there.


The super powerful four faces Buddha that everyone comes to pray.



One corner of the building which was burnt due to the protest last time :) Retouching is in the progress :D


Oh, this is the happening one. Along the street, when we walked pass, we saw this dark river with many boats. I was wondering such a small and polluted river, what are these boats doing? They are not there for fishing; they are there for transportation purpose.

And look at this crowd!


Everyone was trying asap to hop on the boat once it arrives, some almost fell down to the river. You wouldn't want to believe it! Good God! I think they are just so used to it until they don't realize how dangerous it is


Pink taxis on the street.


Me! Sitting in front of our hotel after praying session.

We got back to our hotel, took a rest, and when we finished showering, it was just right time for the dinner. Keef's friend took us around the city and to the most delicious seafood restaurant. 

After waiting for approximately 45 minutes, Food served!!!!!


My favorite: Grilled cockles. Yum! But I like steam more



Grilled squid! Another favorite of mine but this time, i couldn't finish it. So wasted! -_-


Fried mantis prawn with garlic. So yum *_*


The evil mantis prawn! 

Eating so much grilled, fried stuffs, and now my throat is painful like mad. I was sick for a few days.
Ok, now it's time for the most happening thing. I'm sure girls are so excited to know, what did I buy in Bangkok?

Shopping!!!


Did my shopping at Platinum Plaza, which is famous for wholesales, retail shopping center. Six floors with loads of stuffs: clothing, shoes, accessories, undies, makeup, bags.


Shoes heaven. S$30- S$40/ pair. Where to get in Singapore????? I didn't buy any pair because no time to try them all. Regret -_-.

Here are what I bought from this trip!


Accessories! Necklaces for only S$6- 7/ piece. :D


My favorite and unique ring.


Clutch bag for mama, umbrella and manicure- pedicure set, less than S$10 each


Polka dot swimwear! Only S$13


Cotton casual dress come with satin black flower and belt. Mad cheap S$10 :D


T- shirts! Only S$5/ each.


White shirt for work or casual wear with jean! Less than S$10


Jeans and pants. S$10- S$12/ each. Don't get jealous of me. I'm just a good bargain.


Shorts! Only S$6 each

Sexy black dress! So comfortable and soft material, I love.


Love the bareback too :D


Bodycon tube dress! So fitting


Black lace dress. An idea for a night out or party! :D


Bareback with a cute ribbon behind :p


How the dress looks on me :)


And know what? All together for three sexy dresses cost only S$24. I couldn't believe when I heard the sales she-male told me. Unbelievably cheap, I just took any 3, wanted to buy more but it was too crowded for me to go inside the store and choose.

But that wasn't the cheapest thing I bought! Keef took me to one open market with no air con, I was reluctant but then when I stepped inside. The whole market is selling dance and performance costume. *faint*. I managed to get this dress!




How beautiful! It costs from S$300- S$400/ piece in Singapore and u know how much I paid in Thailand??????
S$50


I was so happy to get such a good deal. I'm totally in love with Bangkok man except for the protest, the red and yellow fight, bombing, Bangkok is awesome!

Brian (Keef's friend) and his girlfriend even took us to watch some hot shows in Bangkok, and this is Bangkok all about!

Girls!


Last one, group photo from left: me- Keef- Brian and Ae. See the girls dancing at the back :D


I'm completely satisfied with my short trip! Mad awesome! Girls should go there to shop, and guys should go there to watch a live show because, in Singapore, it's hard to find.
