Shhh.....

Dear Blog,

Just a simple update on my ROM.
The ceremony was on 19 OCT 2014 held at Hai tien Lou, Pan Pacific Hotel.
We booked a room in the restaurant for the ceremony. Our initial plan was to actually booked a suite in hotel, but after much considerations, we felt that having it in a restaurant is so much more convenient as we can have our meal right after the ROM.

Too bad,i was told to be low profile and to only share until my actual wedding next year... hahaha so I shall not post any of my photos on Facebook or anywhere...

But for the sake of record (I have super bad memory)  and I m not so 听话 till I wouldnt post a single photo anywhere... I will post a few photo of myself here .. =D =P

The hand bouquet that I ordered from hazel florist.
 

 I must say their customer service is good. The manager Kenny and their staff Bee tin are nice and helpful people. When I have enquiries about the design of the flower and delivery time, they were there to help.
And yea! the bouquet was so sweet and pretty, I will definitely order from them again!

Our Marriage Certificate

My Makeup Artist- Jin Yan who helped to do my make up and Hair.

I m grateful that I have her on that day. If not, I will appeared with a lousy make up and my normal straight hairdo which is not special at all... All my friends praised on the look that she had created only bf say "Ok lor, normal... hair abit messy hor... -.-" "

Hairdo side view - the flower is from my hand bouquet

Dress and Necklace from Lisa Penny at city plaza .

 I was so damn sian during the process of looking for my dress and necklace. There are a few criteria..   I was trying to find something simple in design, affordable, able to wear it again for other occasion and not cheapskate ... so after roaming around marina square, far east plaza, orchard, wedding gown boutiques in geylang, khaki bukit, tanjong pagar, I still couldn't find any good ones.....

And short gowns from wedding boutiques are sooooooo expensive as I m just looking for a dress and not signing up any packages. ENd up  my mum told me that City Plaza at geylang also have some shops selling cheap wedding gowns....

I had done some research before she recommended me... and some are not so nice reviews... so I ignored... but when I couldn't find what I wanted I think I ought to give city plaza a try...


So one day, my dad sent both my mum and I to city plaza, and we went straight to lisa penny at 2nd storey. After trying a few pieces of dress, I settled down with a simple white lace dress. Theres a ribbon around the waist area which is not shown in the photo attached...

I guessed I m already quite desperate at that point of time... so since the dress looks ok, I just buy it! haha and it cost only 89.90 SGD, which is so much cheaper that those I saw previously - ranging from 380-500 ... -.-"

I also did alteration for the dress and cost about 8 dollars? and on the day of my collection, I also bought the piece of necklace from them at 80 bucks. Its a combination of crystals and pearls which suits my heels a lot!

my gelish nails for the special day

Ok, if you know me, you will know that I seldom spend money on mani or pedicure. I only do it when it is a special occasion. The only time I did was during my elder sis's wedding and in 2013 CNY... so anyway its my ROM... How can I not have it, right??? (Nails also done at city plaza, 1st sty... cant remember the shop name... and this gelish nail cost me 76 SGD)

hahaha ok this photo focus on flower and not my heels... paiseh

I bought the heels at city plaza as well and it cost me 59 bucks. I must say its a steal, as you cant really get such prices if you buy a wedding shoes at places like orchard or far east... 

our wedding band

Ok, heres our wedding band... and we got it from Love & Co. Both of us choose our own design and I m glad that he try to make the effort to wear it when we are out together(:

Present from my sisters and their partner

 musical globe from precious moments

Thank you for the gift! I can add this to my collection of musical box...

 

Anyway, thank you my bf  , for making it happened in such a short time ... haha, although u are short tempered but you are more patient and accommodating this time round.. And I know that you are super busy with your work recently, so its more appreciable! Muacks

To my mum, thanks for giving me ideas and helping too! ^^

Also to thank all (to both our family members) and the JP for helping  and making the ceremony a joyful and successful one! Its a happy day for me to remember (:

Series of good news ^^

Hello there!

Finally I m free again to update my blog. I have been busy with life although I m not working at all.

Well, as you can see from my post name : "Series of good news" yup, today's post will be the good things that happened within this two months.

And the first news I m going to announce to all is that, I m legally married. hahaha
My bf proposed to me in July this year during our Europe trip, and when we returned to Singapore we thought everything will be normal and life carry on till our ROM and Chinese wedding next year.

We have been looking for our future home since march this year, but couldnt find any suitable one.
However, we did saw a few nice one in July-August and after much negotiation, the deal was confirmed! And for the procedure and transaction to proceed successful, we decided to ROM first. (Shall not elaborate more on the details =P)

And the two of us were so crazy, one night my bf called and told me that we should ROM first, and two days later we got our  date for ROM, Venue, Licensed Solemnizer and etc all fixed!( if you are married , you guys will know what are the procedure are.)

So yea,we got married on 19 Oct 2014, which is 5 days ago from now. haha

Good News no 1 and 2 :
- We've got our home! 
-We are Married !

I have been browsing online for jobs after I came back from my Europe and china trip in Mid august. And yea, for those who were once aimlessly looking for jobs like me, you know how dreadful it was! But I must say that I m consider quite lucky, as I received quite a few phone calls from agencies and companies two weeks after I submit my resume online.

I was quite stress during the past two months as I have been dealing with the preparation for ROM, learning driving , job seeking and also attending interviews.

Within these two months, I have attended 3 interviews with those recruitment firms, and 6 interviews and numerous calls from those insurance companies asking me to join them as one of their financial planner. I must say, those recruitment firms are wasting my time.  I got no Job interviews from them at all. and they wasted my Photographs and paper... -.-' .Out of the 6 interviews I got, only 1 of them is introduced by them.  I got the other 5 on my own.

The first interview I went which was way before my trip was an interior design company. I was considering a career switch and thought that interior design is fun and I can learn more about design since I m interested in it. But after the interview, I was told that most of the interior design firms in Singapore are more on sales based and those who sits in the office doing purely design are not being well paid and most of them are foreigners. The worst thing is that, there is no basic pay! so it means that if you cant closed a deal you will be eating air ..... so yea, I rejected the job offer and fly off for my trip.

The 2nd interview that I went to (introduced by one of the recruitment firm)  was a big construction company starting with the letter B. I have nothing bad to say about this company, management and the interviewer. The interviewer was nice enough to show me ard the company and all, however, both of us feels that what they are looking for and what I m keen of are totally different. So once again, I rejected their kind offer.

The 3rd interview was from an Authority starting with B also. I must say I m super duper nervous for this interview! When I was told that I m being shortlisted, they informed me that I m supposed to sit for a written essay test before the interview starts! 
So, as u all can see,my English sucks like hell... so when I knew that I need to write, I m so panic and I started flipping newspapers and online journals..(hoping that my English will improve abit and know more about Singapore building industries) .

So the day for interview came and I proceeded to a big empty room to have my written essay. It was disastrous, the questions they asked were so technical that i don't know if those nonsense I am writing were answering to their questions.-.-"
The  interview begins after that . I must say the interview did not go well too. Perhaps I m not impressive enough for the big shot? And 3 weeks later, It was my turn to get rejected by them . >_<...

The 4th, 5th and 6th interviews I had was with NUS. My furture employer.Hehe
One of them is under campus infrastructure, 2nd is from school of design and environment(SDE) and the last was from department for Chinese language.

I missed out the one for Chinese department and the one from SDE had not get back to me(but I think most probably would not get back le!)

And yup, I got the Job offer from Campus Infrastructure(SPACE). Although all these 3 are NUS jobs, the interviews conducted were quite different. For the one in SDE, I was only there for interview with their board of directors but the one with SPACE requires me to do a written essay with informal interview and 2nd round for presentation and formal interview. It took me quite some time preparing for all these interviews and that also explained why I went MIA for the past 2 mths. 

After the two interviews ( which end at 29 Sept) with SPACE, I finally got their call on 10 Oct informing me that I m being selected for the job! Hahaha I was overjoyed as I was in the midst of preparation for ROM ( like finding mua, dress, accessories, flower bouquet and etc ) and planning the a one day SG tour when bf's family come to Singapore; the job confirmation was definitely a great gift for my ROM and I m glad that I don't have to go for another interview which was being arranged and fixed earlier.

Good news no 3:
- I GOT A JOB!

The management in NUS was so kind that they knew that I had been packed in the mth of OCT and they allowed me to start work in NOV. SOYeah! I m Not jobless anymore! 

I m now happy yet nervous about starting my new job. Hope everything goes well! ( pray hard)


Will be back for more updates with photos taken for my ROM and Europe trip
