Getting the right pics

Went down to my granny's house on Sunday for dinner. Met flowerboi ChengCheng who is still a very shy boi. But no worries with a super nanny like me - It wasn't long b4 he stick to me like some glue becos i just simply know how to have fun!

Now flowerboi is actually quite a creative person like me. After a nice bath, cheng cheng will use the baby powder to do some decent makeup on his face! Of cos everyone was excited and wanna take a pic of him but sometimes kids are just a little unpredictable. Despite him wanting so much attention looking at his makeup face, cheng cheng just wouldn't let anyone take a pic of his face, not even his wonderful Dad.

But NO WORRIES man. Christine Koh is never person who bows down to challenges and to be honest it is so easy to get him to take a pic.

Now let me the Great One, Octo Spidey teach you how to take a pic of a kid even if you are not a professional photographer.

The Essence of taking a pic of a shy kid is to......

Join in and keep cam whoring yourself in the same crazy look! I let cheng cheng draw on my face and soon he was having lots of fun taking his kitty cat design face painting with me =) My whole family frown upon my bravery and courage and crazy energy to do that.

Ferocious Cats tearing down the cameraman

Chengcheng and his Parents

Woodblock refuse to have his face painted even tho he wans to ake a pic with a pussy cat doll like me lol. Love chengcheng's makeup. Anyone out there want some I can give you his contact. Just only a mere one buck for each service. Mind you cheng cheng actually paint the number of whiskers he draws - nothing more and nothing less , simply professional like me!

Octo-spidey: ' Don't you wish your girlfren was cattish like me? Don't ya... Meow!'

OK gotta go out wif qi soon to recce the wedding venue for my fren=) I always get real excited to plan a wedding!

My Weekend at IKEA

It was a nice Cozy Saturday where woodblock and me went to visit my granny in the morning before going off to IKEA to look for a suitable cupboard. Sad to say we din found the kind of cupboard we want but this wasnt a waste trip as I really had lots of fun esp at the kids section!

Everything was so tiny but yet so cute! Found all these incredible funny soft toy masks.

Of Cos how can we resist not getting our hands on these adorable masks!

A kid spotted me having fun with the masks and he followed and copied me =(
Sometimes its weird why nobody dares to pick up all these funky masks until someone does. Let's not suppress all this vibrant and fun kid inside all of us lah, esp when you are a really kid =P

After much trial and error,

PRESENTING

Octo-Spidey and the Birthday Cake Woodblock!

Heroes Profile:

First Stop: Octo-Spidey

Final Stop:

Arhhh... Sumptuous spread of sdish meatboalls, Christmas Turkey steak and Chicken Wings!

However,

Octo-spidey cant resist using her power while eating....

Unaware that it offended Birthday Cake Woodblock hero who was so mad that he actually took down the evidence of her crime so that he can sue her next time for food harassment.

As a person with high integrity and dignity, Birthday cake woodblock could no longer leave things as it is and he start to eat as fast possible to recharge his calorie energy before he suddenly sprang up

BIsh and gave Octo-Spidey a killer attack: BAKE CAKE OVEN MITTENS PUNCH!
This really made Octo-spidey MAD. VERY VERY MAD ............................

and soon both of them were engaged in an intense stare(are they gonna fight????) with a passer by in the background (who happened to recognise the 2 super heroes) and gasped upon the horror of the possibility of the destruction of IKEA due to their SUPER fight!

Who do you think will win this war of the heroes?

Stay Tune!

My Manicure and Pedicure at a Steal!

Yep another essential thing a bride needs to make sure is not just going for facial, but to ensure that when we put on the ring, our hands will also be picture purrrffect!

So about 2days b4 the wedding I went down to Beuaty Assets in AMk Central with Qi (and recommended by her too) to shape my eyebrow and do French Manicure and Pedicure.
Cost?

It is now on promotion at a price of 40 bucks for both manicure and pedicure plus free paraffin wax for either your feets or hands (usually pple will go for feets becos it is more ex).

For french manicure and pedicure, it is an added 5 bucks each for the mani and pedi so the total cost will be 50 bucks =) quite a steal isnt it?! Tell them it is for ur wedding and they might throw in free nail art for you=)

For me I din want those complicatd nailarts so I just request for only my thumb nails to have a simple ribbon drawn.

Ok here's the showcase of their portfolio on their Customer Christine.


NOTE: I took this photo about a week after my wedding so by now it has undergone many dish washing and other crazy work chores=)




Notice the nice silver lining which they did for me for free becos is it my special day! The silver lining makes a whole great diff becos it seem to highlight the edges and gives a young princessy feel to it. Hello I know that it some botches here and there on the pics, BUT it is already 11 week plus after I do so much chores, this condition is consider excellent le!

Luv their wonderful service. Made me feel at home with all this value added services and made me wanna go for more pedicures next time.

My pink ribbon. A little blurry becos I took the pic on a bus. Actually this is nt how the ribbon first looked like, but the ladies redid the ribbon in a fw colours until i am satified with it. What an I say, I am pleased with it and that's professional esp for a neigbourhood shop like this, it impress me further.



Final showcase. Cant get enough of it. Told Qi and Woodblk that I will cut away the nails soon becos I hate long nails ->impede many of my Art works. However whenever I see this pretty nail colours and design, I just couldn't bear to cut it=( I am so caught in between.

Just to side track, the eyebrow shaping costs only $5 can you believe this? The best thing is luv the shape, very slim line and pretty! It was better then a lot of the eyebrow shapings I had done at other beauty shops and

Pls dun hog that shop now that you know that there is a secret seal like this becos I know I'm going to frequent this shop muahahah!

Interesting DIY Video

Came across some interesting DIY wedding video to share:



it is such an interesting thing to DIY your own video but too bad I am still not so tech savy yet. I shall just stick to my DIY craft!

Mahjong session in progress

I'm so sorry this morning, wanted to post more pics but Ah Jie needs one more player for mahjong which I cantkeep my itchy hands away from.

Anyway I did the video update to the prev post =)

Collection of Certs and Woodblock's Grooming Day

Yup now that wedding is over we shall now revisit a few days before the ROM - yup that is the day where woodblock and I collected the ROM certs!

We arrive early in the morning at 9:30 am at the Registry of Marriage. It was a sweet moment esp when you are surrounded by so many other couples who are also here for the same reason - to become LaoGong and Laopo together. The air is so sweet that I think if you were to be there for too long you might get diabetes.

But that's not the point tho.

While waiting, there is a large lcd tv in front which talks about the various issues and problems that a couple might face and there was little suggestions on how to deal with it.

But something caught my eye! Sitting on a the 2 quiet side of the tv were 2 display ornaments:
Very classic sculpture showing the moment whereby it will never go out of fashion becos of its deep meaning.

Cute bears sitting on a couch - I hope they dun become potato couch tho by sitting so near the tv 7/24.

So here are the shots while we were waiting for our queue number to turn up!
Feeling the excitement while waiting. It is strange that many couples din bring a camera to take a few snapshots inside the ROM. But whatever everyone has their own style and we prefer to capture the event in details.

Here's the video whereby we did our official declaration etc at the ROM =)

After the collection of certs!

I think I did quite a great job capturig the various angles of the wedding bear. Woodblock and I even try to mimic the angle of the bears! So Cute wonder where did the ROM bought from - I seriously luv it very much!

Then it was lunch time where both of us secretly.......


SNeak Out for a buffet meal at the Fortunate Restaurant

Yes I know we should do that before the big day but we just couldnt resist our hunger any longer. I din even dare to tell anyone else about this meal (BIG BIG SECRET REVEAL)!

Anyway it is suppose to be woodblock's grooming day too so why not pamper his stomach so he will love me even more muahahaha - what can be better than to capture it buffet style (trust me, it will never go wrong)!

I bought woodblock to the Far East Plaza Basement to get a haircut and a nice hairdye. He was real happy even tho it burnt a hole in my pockets. The stylist was very pro and woodblock luvs his new hairstyle a lot. Thumbs UP!



Next it wasnt the end of the journey for the grooming of woodblock.

lol scary for the guys cos it feels like as tho woodblock is undergoing some operation!

Yeah you did not hear wrongly I bought woodblock to try brow threading. A fren of mine recommended Brow Haus at Paragon. By the end of the session, woodblock's eyes were moist and teary. Guess guys' threshold is indeed lower than ladies'.

But hallo guys needs to look great on their big day too. make the big sacrifice bah and be the pretty JAR(you dun expect yourself to be a vase right) beside your wife-to-be lol

P.S.: Guys will hate me for this entry if their wife start dragging them to the operating chair too.

Some Peeks at the Wishing Shout-Outs

I cant thank enough my wonderful mahjong kakis - Xinwei,WeiXuan,Linda and Yancui(who din even take a proper break during meal times cos I saw some of her pics of guests who were busy taking food to eat) The main reason is this - When I first saw the pics the first thing it occur to me was that my pals really work beyond expections! I gave them a guest list to ask the guests to take pics but guess what?

The smart team even got the the JP, the staff at MOG to also help pen down their wishes which I totally forgotten to add them in to the list. I'm so thankful that my mahjong kakis help me cover what I overlook. Ok pictures tells a million stories here are some of the wishings from my guests.
