shoe tots

oh wow, jus counted the shoes tt i own - i got 17 pairs of shoes! bt i dun consider myself as a person with a lot of many many shoes to wear for diff occasions leh. so funi. the number feels big, bt i dun feel tt i hav a lot of shoes leh. instead, i feel lk i always wear the same few pairs leh. mayb because it's lk familiarity breeds contempt? hahahah....

btw, its nt tt i too free n go count the shoes. its cos wana plan/think hw big the shoe cabinet shld b, cos thinkin go buyin the slim cabinet concept, where shoes are nt in boxes n placed vertically. bt seems lk nt a feasible idea if me alone already hav 17 pairs loh ;p

anyway, tuesday (10th june) was my SG photoshoot. the day went smtin lk tis:

9am - reach digio for makeup n hair. dear tried his suits, which he din get to try wen i went for final fitting last thurs (5th june). there was this cute dog tt was there with his owners to take photoshoot with them, haha... he was a v steady dog. no hyper, v calm. jus walk ard, stare at u n walk away, hahah...

anyway, for the pics is take the AD WG first. then is the champagne coloured gown, which looks v beautiful n the the award-winning design fm Her World Brides. shall post the pic fm my final fitting one:




then is take pics for the AD EG, which is shocking pink with black details.

love the backless look!! they help to add a diamondnite strip to hide the ugly beige net seam.

at abt 4pm, we left the studio to go SG outdoor shoot in tis gown:

first place went to is city hall mrt, cos tt was the place we first met each other. hehehhe... a lot of ppl look at us. got one bugger took out his hp n took our pic rite in our face. stupid person.

then we proceeded to dempsey there, took at a church first. sat on the grass in front. pokey grass at my thighs... then is at an old hse. kana bitten by numerous times on my arms n legs. its lk 20+ bites on my left arm loh. argh. took pics inside and outside the hse.

aft tt, is jus a drive opp to botanic gardens for the waterfall n the white porch. met another 3 couples there takin pics also, hahaha...

last place was to the fullerton area in my purple gown, to take the bridge n the museum nearby. also took sm pics by the river, backdrop against the boat quay stretch of shops.


its sup to hav a can can to fluff it up, bt during final fit no can can avail so the pic is w/o the can can. anyway the can can broke on tt day loh. so i walk ard with a plastic strip stickng out. so nan kan.

so tt ends the photoshoot day, we reach back digio ard 7, then change n remove makeup, pay $ n left for dinner. was quite disappointed wif the pictures cos more posey posey type, nt the carefree n special type tt we wanted n saw fm other albums. shall use the bintan trip to make up for it then...

a moment to remember

tis is such a great show. its a korean movie tt was remade from the japanese drama serial "pure soul", and it was soooo touching and loving. i cried on a fri nite for the second time in a row.

the story is abt the beautiful love of a young gal n a construction worker that rose to an architect. the courting part was so sweet, cos the construction worker was such a rough n tough guy, n the gal was the sweet gentle type. they got married, n had dreams of building the perfect house by hand from scratch. the guy even told her that he eyed that plot of land tt was on top of a hill for 3 years already.... then the young gal discovers that she has Alzheimer's disease. then the sad part came when she starts to forget her love and her family. on bad days, she cant even take care of herself. one day she calls her husband by the ex's name, n her husband stil responded to her. behind closed door, he cried n was hurt because he does not know who she really loves. that afternoon while going through old pictures (which her husband stuck all over the house with post-it notes explainations), she recall the present and wrote a v v v touching letter to her husband, saying sorry for the morning events n that she love only him. she said she will never forget him, because he is always a part of her. in her heart, in her smile, all around her. n then she left the house without waiting for him to come back.

the husband refused to divorce her, and searched for her. at the ending, he finally said those three letters to her, which he had nv said to her before, no matter how many times she said it or asked him to...
