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.

1 year ROM anniversary

By Edna:

I wanted to post this on the Monday, but pc was not available to me.

26 November 2006: The day my hubby and myself tied a knot officially at Maysprings condominum clubshouse. The old and wise Mr Chan Kai Yau was our solemniser for the day. Until today, I'm very grateful to our friends and family who had helped in the preparation as well as attended our solemnisation.

Most importantly, I want to thank my hubby for many many many (infinity) things which he had done for me, like comforting me, keeping me happy and spending time with me. We do have disagreements at times too, I hope that this will make us understand each other even more.

On this 1 year anniversary, we stayed over at our new home and do some simple cooking. I cherish the time, being together and doing activities together.

Minus 1 year wedding anniversary

By Edna:

Its our minus 1 year anniversary today! Hope that we enjoy our wedding preparation for our big day which is today's next year!

Wedding banquet venue hunting

By Edna:

Although, Master Tong had shortlisted a few dates for us, only 2 dates (22 Nov 08 & 28 Dec 08) were more suitable to us. Many of us would prefer the former because it is on a Saturday and all of us can get a rest next day.

I tried our luck on the 1st date. I had dream venue in mind which was Noble House but they were already booked on both days. My husband and myself decided to get the wedding venues around Havelock, Outram, Singapore River area. We shortlisted and arranged to view 3 venues which were Orient Ocean restaurant, River View hotel and Furama Riverfront hotel.

Personal reviews:

Orient Ocean Restaurant ~ It has a typical Chinese restaurant setup and is able to accommodate more than 50 tables with 6 pillars. The cost of each table booked, is quite affordable. A lot of parking space available.
We did not choose it because we did not like the Chinese restaurant setup.

Riverview hotel ~ First thing, I must comment that the coordinator, Ms Lee Kim Peng whom we met is very friendly, sincere, accommodating and helpful. I like the suite bathroom in particular. As for the ballroom, it is small, old and can accommodate up to 35 tables. There are 2 pillars in the ballroom. The price of a table for a hotel is considered to be very affordable. There are very few parking space available
We did not choose it because of the ballroom capacity. We had planned for approximately 30 tables and worried that the number of tables would increase as time goes by. Maximum capacity would be very cramp.


Furama Riverfront hotel ~ It has 3 ballrooms: Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. The venus ballroom is very spacious and is able to accommodated more that 50 tables. The ceiling is considered to be quite high and this ballroom is pillarless! It has a big foyer outside the ballroom for cocktail reception. It’s pricing and package is very competitive and attractive. There is ample parking space during weekends. Therefore, we decided to sign up with our coordinator, Albert Liew to book the Venus ballroom.

I felt a little uneasy when we paid the deposit because the price was much higher than the other 2 venues and started to worried about our budget. In the end, I thought of it more positively, this is the best venue and we like it here best. I’m looking forward to it and going to make my dream wedding come true here on 22 Nov 2008!

The Proposal

By Edna:

On the night of 18 May 06, I was preparing for my next trip to Krabi when I received a call from my "then" boyfriend, William. He asked me to go down to the carpark to get from him something that his friend asked me to buy in Krabi.

I was not really willing to go down because I'm wearing pyjamas and I even asked him to come up to pass the item to me. He insisted that I must come down because the carpark auntie was around and he did not intend stay for long.

I went down in my pyjamas in the end. I felt a little funny that he did not park at his usual carpark lot area. When I reached his car, he walked over with a cake with candle (In my mind, I was thinking "What's the occasion?") and asked me this proposal question.

This cake was a chocolate Sara Lee cake with M&M candies arrange with a cross. If I was to say yes, I have to take out some M&Ms and make it into a tick.

It was a pleasant surprise for me, even though we had plans to get married. We had gone to choose the diamond ring I like together, but I insisted a proposal and will only accept his ring when he propose to me.

What William had done was a pleasant surprise for me. I blew the candle in the end. Suddenly, we hear someone whistling and clapping from my block, I did not know who. A bit embarrassed....
