So basically what i have done was to just turn up on time on the day itself!
Now the items from the groom side was pretty straight cut:
- 98 cans of pig trotters (yes crazy number)
- 50 boxes of cakes from Choz
- 2 pairs of dragon phoenix candles
- si dian jin jewelleries
- dowry red packet
- angpows for my relatives like granny, parent, brothers plus aunts and uncles
- a basket of oranges (shili and me took quite a while to arrange the oranges to look good in terms of layout as the no. of oranges were not that friendly for arrangement)
- 2 bottles of hard liquor
woodblock insisted in buying a basket despite i told him there wasnt a need. but when i saw that the basket he was pointing to have those gold glitters on the red bkground, i agree it was simply gorgeous and let him buy the basket!
1 box of dragon candles plus 1 box of phoenix candles
Pointer: Now unknown to many brides like me, the 2 boxes of candles were packed in such a way that there is 2 dragon candles in one box and 2 phoenix candles in the other. so when the bride side receive the candles, the bride's parents are suppose to exchange 1 of the candles in the boxes so as to make it a proper dragon and phoenix dragon set for each box. then the bride's parent is suppose to return one box of the dragon and phoenix candles to the groom's side.
The 2 bottles of hard liquor => i wonder why cant we have champagne, yomeishu etc instead? more tasty loh! hmm better still i prefer 2 cans of abalone ... yum yum
The si dian jin, ping jin ang pow and all the other angpows were placed in a tray. i was very happy when my mum's relatives were praising how beautiful the si dian jin look and thought it was really special.
the crazy boxes of cakes (50 of them!) from ChoZ.
Pointer: Do remember to request for enough plastic carriers to make it convenient for your relatives to take it home.
The box is pretty lovely in dark red.
There's a customise sticker in front which i luv it and din noe about it until the cakes arrived.
Nice presentation too.
My happy sis in laws..... Know why they are grinning from ear to ear????
Princess Christine cum Evil sis in law: " Oi oi oi, never do work and still sit there! So lazy!"
The magic of angpows!
Ah li: " Who will work when we are already paid =P "
More sneaky smiles from my sis in laws
One interesting thing i notice was that i realise where all my art genes came from:
PRESENTING my MUMICASSO's Art
Her own grand floral arrangement out of fresh flowers. if you think floral arrangement is easy u should really try it at home => it is a fine line between pretty and ugly lol
One strange thing was that i realise she knows how to tie nice perfect bows. From all the micellaneous decos in the house, the only thing i was astounded was by her perfect bows. the picture above did some injustice as i went to move her bows by quite a bit ... (ok mabbe by a lot =P)
Presenting DADDICASSO's work:
This is the most creative art work I have ever seen.... LOOK CAREFULLY

haha did you find it? my dad decorated every single floral bloom with a water droplet. It may seem insignificant but it was so good that Ah li thought they were fake super glue faux droplets! Very CHIO indeed!
At the end of the Guo Da Li, I took home with me a huge pink suitcase plus those standard red basins, etc => definitely saving it for ah jie's(my other sis in law) wedding!
