End of our Furama Riverfront stay

It was our last day at Furama Riverfront which also meant that our mini honeymoon had come to the end. I looked out from our suite window and had taken the last look of the view. Apart from our wedding day, it had been a relaxing time for us. We enjoyed our stay.

In overall, we had not not regretted choosing Furama Riverfront as our wedding banquet venue. We felt very welcomed and our banquet manager Jason was very detail and professional. Thing went quite smoothly that day. We also received some feedback from our guest. Food was fantastic. However the serving and topping up of drinks was infreguent.

Also special thanks to our coordinator Albert Liew who had made the neccesary arrangements to make our wedding dinner happen smoothly.

The day after our big day

We slept till 11am today. We will only be checking out tomorrow because we had converted our anniversary stay to our 2nd night stay. Therefore there is no rush to pack our belongings.

After washing up and initial counting of our ang pows, we went to the the Square to have our buffet lunch. So glad that they have salmon sashimi! my fav!

I went to had my complimentary head and shoulder massage at the hotel's SPA after that, then went back to our suite to count Ang Pows. We took really long (about rest of the afternoon) to count how much we received. All the ang pow will be settled as our banquet bill.

In the evening, we returned our gown and suit, deposited some money and had dinner. Although its was a full busy day, its very relaxing for us.

Its time to do An Chuan, a chinese wedding tradtion at which a bridal bed is set up. We did a simple an chuan by ourselves.

The main programme for the day is to meet up with our coordinator, Albert Liew for our wedding banquet at Furama Riverfront to finalise our contract and to test our media to be played during our wedding banquet.

Albert went through the contract with us with many many details which made us feel at ease that many things had been arranged. Our wedding coordinator who is William's friend Daming came too and we went through with the AV specialist to test our photo montage and music.

In 3 days time, it will be the actual thing! Hope that every thing would go well!

4 days before my wedding, a super packed day and a surprise mini hen's party

It was a super busy day for me today.


  • Dental appointment,

  • trip to hair salon to get my hair trimmed and treatment done,

  • collect my photo montage at academy video

  • do some shopping for my wedding related stuff

  • meeting up with my jie meis for a final briefing

For the JieMeis meet up was not just a Jie Mei's meeting up but also my mini Hen's Party @ Esplanade for me.

It was a surprise for me and I did not expect this. We had dinner at Thai express instead of food court. Wanted to arrange dinner at food court at 1st because I knew one of my Jie Mei's was recovering from stomach flu and there would have more choices for her. Luckily there is suitable food for her at Thai Express.

So my hen's party started at Thai express looking like this.





This is my Jie Mei who had put on all these for me and I was supposed to wear it throughout my Hen's Party. There a were a few challenges which I had to complete. One was which was truth or dare. They asked me a few questions which I had to answer, making annoucement at the crowd, collecting kisses from the public, doing sexy poses in front of public and telling a secret to a waiter. I think i would never dare to do all these tasks all my life and I had done them tonight!

See my achivements!



Although I was a bit horrified at 1st by what I'm supposed to do, I had super lots of fun and these will leave a great memory with me. My appreciation goes all out to my dear Jie Meis: Karin, Lena, Xiao Yun and Pei Ru. Thank you for your efforts for making this Mini Hen's night possible!

Chicks Party @ Goldkist Resorts

Like one of my colleagues had quoted, this was prelude to the event of the year! Together with Yumin and Meifang who the the main organizers, my other fantastic colleagues and attachment students: Caroline, Jocelyn, Angela, Suellen and Samantha had prepared (since last month) this Chicks party (bachelorette party) specially for me.

1st of all, let me introduce our party logo designed by our logo designer, Yumin! (Cute rite?)


The party was held at Goldkist Chalets at East Coast Park. The girls checked in and started the bbq 1st. I came after that and was had a very warm welcome from them with party poppers,balloons and being served with yummy bbq food (All thanks to the great chefs and the charcoal was cooperative too)! I was kept very busy by eating and photo taking (Samantha was or official photographer). I will upload more pics after Sam transfer me the pics.

After the bbq, we had reheasals for my 2 emcees Jocelyn and Caroline. Afterwhich, we went to beach together and this was the most touching, most romantic, most heartwarming, most meaningful and most risky part to me. We played the sparklers and each of them had sang a song to me. Although, I am not very familiar with the songs they had sung, they were very meaningful to me and their songs are their blessings for my marriage. I sang a song (Hold on together) for them too. They also sang Aaron Kwok's 对你爱不完 with edited lyrics and all time familiar actions! After singing was the sabo part, they quickly grab my limbs (it was not easy for them) and decided throw me off somewhere (I shall not mention where). All thanks to my saviour Meifang which they did not do it in the end. Meifang, if your are reading this, thanks to your rescue! Our beach event ended with a big hug from all of them.

Back at the chalet, we had a drinking game of Vodka. Its was very fun and crazy! All of us enjoyed it but most of us were quite drunk after 2 rounds of the game.

Last of all, take a look at this T shirt! It was specially designed by Samantha. Beautiful right? I loved it very much!

On the back of this Tshirt was their individual wishes. It was very sweet of them.





I know that a lot of effort was made this Chicks Party super duper enjoyable, fun and meaningful. Here again I would like to thank all of you ( To: Meifang, Yumin, Jocelyn, Caroline, Angela, Suellen and Samantha) for all your presence and involvement in this party. You all had made me feel like a Queen! Your great blessings, friendship and support was felt there to me. I really appreciate it and I will cherish this party in my memory even after my wedding.
