			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a quick update. I suppose friends in my facebook already saw a lot of my wedding pictures, uploaded by my photographer and friends. I should post the same photos here for my family members who does not have facebook account, especially my uncles and aunties. :) I got all these photos from my photographer&#8217;s facebook.</p>
<p>I slept around 2am the night before my wedding day. In fact, I gotto wake up in 4 hours time.</p>
<p>I woke up around 5.30am in the morning, I bath and blow dry my hair. I facebooked a while because I woke up the earliest and waiting for the makeup artist to come.</p>
<p>Makeup artist came at 6.30am and my photographer <a href="http://www.aveyap.com" target="_blank">Ave</a> came at 7am. Both of them came on time as promised! This is what we call professional!</p>
<p>I am putting captions for each photo if possible. Let&#8217;s begin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are some outstanding stuff that I want to share before I post all my wedding photos.</p>
<p>Wedding preparation is really a tiring process. Although my mom and mom-in-law help us a lot but still we gotto make all the decisions. They worry we might not like it if they decide for us.</p>
<p>For the past 12 months, we have made several important decisions like choosing the wedding date, restaurant, bridal package, photoshooting venue, ROM date, decorate the bridal room, gor dai lai, bridal car deco, guest list, <a href="http://www.chingling.net/blog/2009/09/10/our-wedding-invitation-card/" target="_blank">wedding card</a>, wedding eve buffet, etc etc.</p>
<p>Now that I think back, it&#8217;s amazing that me and HK never argue about anything when discussing about wedding stuff. I am glad that he leaves all final decisions to me. It may sound like one man show, but I guess he just want me to be happy about what I decide.</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong>Choosing wedding date - July 2008</strong></span><br />
After mom-in-law proposed the idea &#8220;you both should get married&#8221; (now you finally know why are we getting married. Yes, the proposal story i posted previous was made up by me. :p),  we gathered our D.O.B and sent to Loh Tit Pat. Apparently Loh Tit Pat is very famous in getting you the wedding dates based on our birthdates and chinese zodiac.</p>
<p>Then few weeks later, Loh Tit Pat gave us a list of dates which were good for us. I filtered and think that 3rd Oct 2009 is the best. I love the fact that it is mooncake festival and it&#8217;s Saturday. Saturday meaning everyone can enjoy and get drunk without worrying working the next morning.</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong>Choosing Restaurant</strong> <strong>- August 2008</strong></span><br />
Before we book any restaurant, we need to work out roughly how many tables of guests we want to invite. It&#8217;s unbelievable when I heard my father-in-law will need at least 35 tables, plus 5 from mom-in-law, plus another 10 from my parent&#8217;s side. Meaning it&#8217;s already 50 for relatives and parents&#8217; friends. I was thinking, the most friends me and hk can invite would be 10 tables only.  So, I search for restaurants which can hold up to 55 to 65 tables.</p>
<p>I look up at the Malaysian Bride forums, but it did not give me much helps because not much user input. After few rounds of filtering, I called up to Damansara Palace at Kota Damansara, Tai Thong Tropicana and Flower Drum Banquet. But Tai Thong Tropicana and Flower Drum Banquet were fully booked. Damansara Palace is not really an ideal place because of the weird floor plan.</p>
<p>Finally, we thought of Royal China Jalan Ampang. Quickly went for a look and place our booking. Luckily the date still available. We&#8217;ve dined in there for several times, thinking it was not bad. We do not hesitate much and go ahead placing deposit of RM3000.</p>
<p>We booked the restaurant within a month after we got the wedding date. It was around August 2008. Imagine we gotto book the restaurant 14 months in advance!</p>
<p>Booking a hotel ballroom? I know the environment is far more better than a restaurant, higher ceiling, bigger stage, prettier decorations, nicer serving but they are way out of budget. Totally not worth. You know why? Inviting guests of more than 50% of people whom you don&#8217;t know is one of the main reason why. :p</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Bridal Package - November 2008</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I did post a bit on the <a href="http://www.chingling.net/blog/2008/12/16/i-am-a-julia-wedding-news-bride/" target="_blank">bridal shop that we chose</a>. How did we end up signing up with <a href="http://www.juliaweddingnews.com" target="_blank">Julia Wedding News</a>?</p>
<p>At first, I thought of hiring freelancer photographer, rent some gowns, hire makeup artist and fly to somewhere else for photoshooting. After calculating all the keling sum, this idea is kinda time consuming and troublesome.</p>
<p>Should go back KL&#8217;s bridal shop for cheaper rate? Hmm, the traveling is killing too much time. Not easy to accommodate for people like us who based in Singapore.</p>
<p>So we decided to go for the traditional way. Engaged with one local bridal shop and get everything done there.</p>
<p>After done some researching online (reading SingaporeBrides Forum), we went to Julia Wedding News to check out the packages. Their gowns are pretty as what people describe. The sales person who end up being my coordinator for 1 year - Jess, she is very nice and we had a great chat.</p>
<p>We signed up on the spot to enjoy more benefits like getting more photos and a bit of discount. Well, they are pretty reputable at Tanjong Pagar area, I must admit they are good in tackling customer, you know, make you happy about your decision.  :)</p>
<p>I walked out the door with a smile thinking that I&#8217;ve got a pretty good deal. I know it&#8217;s pricey compare to other bridal shop, but I am happy that we are flying to Taiwan for photoshoot. I begin to imagine what&#8217;s like shooting in Taiwan, blah blah blah&#8230;</p>
<p>After signing up, I still follow closely the Julia Wedding News Thread. I can tell that the deal we made was pretty good compare to other brides. At least I think so. Besides comparing the package, I also able list out few places which are potentially the shooting venue. I am impressed that the JWN thread is so active. Averagely 10 post per day. I also make friends from the thread.</p>
<p>I asked HK to take some photos of my actual day wedding gowns and Kua.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Photoshooting - End of March 2009</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I think pre-wedding photoshoot is the happiest part of the wedding.</p>
<p>Because I get to wear beautiful gowns, posing with my beloved hubby whom does not like to take much photograph.</p>
<p>Also because I spent a lot of time on dieting in order to fit myself into most of the gowns. Some of the gowns can&#8217;t be amend. I want to look at my best and I believe I did, off coz with a little help on photoshop.</p>
<p>Wearing wedding gowns can be really blissful. It&#8217;s easily affected the people around with all the blissfulness. :p</p>
<p>During photoshoot, we have poses that we always laugh at when we see people posing that way. We thought we don&#8217;t want those poses, but the photographer make us pose that way.</p>
<p>I love the weather during our stay at Taiwan, it was very chilling and cool. But it was a pity to see a moody sky with no clouds, no blue sky and no sun.</p>
<p>The weirdest thing during the whole photoshoot was the assistant taping my boobs with masking tape. Well, to create the very geng cleavage that you all WOW about. I know!</p>
<p>We were not nervous at all during the whole photoshoot. Not too tiring. I am glad that the shooting team was fun to be with. They are serious and fun at the same time.</p>
<p>I remembered we were shooting at a lake side at Yang Ming Shan. The muddy floor was very slippery and I fell down. Yes, with my beautiful while gown with long train. I knock on my knees. &#8216;Black Green&#8217; as expected. Pain like hell lor!</p>
<p>Although the bridal package is expensive, but really happy with the outcome. HK and I look great. The album printed nicely. Most importantly is the experience and memories. To get HK doing all these with me, priceless.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll post up my pre-wedding photos soon but here are the <a href="http://www.chingling.net/blog/2009/06/25/my-pre-wedding-photos-teaser/" target="_blank">teasers</a> I posted up before.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Registration of Marriage - August 2009</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>We went submitting the form on May. Chosen our ROM date to be in August. We thought <a href="http://www.chingling.net/blog/2009/08/09/rom-070809rom-070809/" target="_blank">070809</a> is cool and easy to remember. Totally meaningless to us.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2359" title="rom01" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/10/rom01.jpg" alt="rom01" width="500" height="748" /></p>
<p>Really really happy that the date is available. Very sweet to see all the happy faces during the ROM. Extremely grateful to see all family members make the effort to attend and witness our registration.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2360" title="rom02" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/10/rom02.jpg" alt="rom02" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong>Gor Dai Lai - Sept 2009</strong></span></p>
<p>This is a chinese tradition thingie where both parties exchange wedding gift like that. My mom gotto prepare 3 things for her son-in-law, meaning my hubby - A belt, A long pant and a wallet. These are for him to make good fortune in his future business or something like that.</p>
<p>Hubby side brought 2 bottle of liquor, red cloth, seafood (海味), chicken, pig hand, bride price (聘礼) and off coz the &#8216;marry cake&#8217; (50 boxes).</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2354" title="gdl02" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/10/gdl02.jpg" alt="gdl02" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p>I order the &#8216;marry cake&#8217; from my cousin. She designed a pair of cute wedding couple cupcake for me. She also help me to look for sweet pink boxes. Really thankful when someone put effort on helping you to get the best. :)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2355" title="gdl03" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/10/gdl03.jpg" alt="gdl03" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p>Whether the cupcake is tasty or not, hmm.. not really in the question. I am not allow to eat anyway. hahaha. But I believe it&#8217;s nothing bad la.</p>
<p>HK was very exciting about getting the present. All those gifts were his choice. :p We all can tell by looking at his happy face.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2353" title="gdl01" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/10/gdl01.jpg" alt="gdl01" width="500" height="749" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong>Bai Ga Zhong - Sept 2009</strong></span></p>
<p>Weeks before this day, we have bought a new queen size bed, few pillows, pillow cover, bed sheet, bed frame, wardrobe and makeup table. Father-in-law also hire people to repaint the whole room to make it looks like new.</p>
<p>This Bai Ga Zhong day is basically my sisters help me to decorate the new room, put up the bed sheet cover, pillow cover, stick double happiness wording, put my wedding gifts on the table blah blah blah. Another Chinese Tradition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I guess most of our invited guest should have got the cards, either by mail or hand. :) This card is specially designed. Those default invitation cards were all distributed to relatives. Our dear friends deserved something special. :)</p>
<p>I am glad everyone loves it. We love it also.</p>
<p>Initially, HK said he will design the wedding invitation card, but he was too busy. He decided to hire people to do it. We were lucky enough to get someone from China after some recommendation. At first, we were kinda hesitated whether we can trust the designer or not. But after some discussion with the designer, we believe that he can delivered what we wanted.</p>
<p>To cut the long story short, here is the process.</p>
<p>Our Idea &gt;Mock up &gt; 1st, 2nd,3rd amendment &gt; Final design &gt; Final touch up by Hongkiat &gt; Printed (with spot UV somemore)</p>
<p>Ta - Da!!!!</p>
<p>Here is the outcome!</p>
<p><img title="Wedding Invitation Card" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/09/card01.jpg" alt="Wedding Invitation Card" /></p>
<p>Front page - 2 cute little figure. Represent me and hk off coz. With our chinese name printed on the shirt.</p>
<p><img title="Wedding Invitation Card" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/09/card02.jpg" alt="Wedding Invitation Card" /></p>
<p>2nd page - The details page. See the cute little figure? HK purposely make it that way, it&#8217;s like he hiding behind me. :)</p>
<p><img title="Wedding Invitation Card" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/09/card03.jpg" alt="Wedding Invitation Card" /></p>
<p>3rd Page - The map of the venue. I only gave him a simple map and he redraw it and make it that way, I am pleased. Love the map. It&#8217;s like a lot of love pull together. Again, at here, I am hiding behind HK. Cute&#8230;~</p>
<p><img title="Wedding Invitation Card" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/09/card04.jpg" alt="Wedding Invitation Card" /></p>
<p>The Final page - A Full moon. Totally represent our wedding day. It&#8217;s MoonCake Festival. It should be full moon on that night! :) The chinese characters -    人杰地龄 was taken from 人杰地灵, we requested the designer to come out a idioms that contains our names (or at least rhymes). 人杰地灵 simply means &#8220;the birth of heroes brings glory to a place&#8221;.</p>
<p>Fantastic right? :) Do you like it?</p>
<p>If you are interested in hiring people to draw or design something, I can recommend him to you. But he speaks mandarin most of the time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sure you all are interested to know how he proposed to me. I have not been telling anyone the truth. I always told people that he did not propose. We had mutual agreement and just decided to get married.</p>
<p>Here is the story. It&#8217;s not the sweetest one but definitely a good one.</p>
<p>There was one day, back to last year about July, the time we were at HongKong. Still remember?</p>
<p>Then, I was at shower. He knock on my door.<br />
&#8220;<em>Ei Dear&#8230; I ask you something.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<em><span style="color: #ff33ff;">Yes?</span></em>&#8221; I literally was shouting a bit. At shower ma, the water running and all.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Will you marry me?</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<em><span style="color: #ff33ff;">WHAT?</span></em>&#8221; I actually can&#8217;t hear him clearly.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>WILL YOU MARRY ME?</em>&#8221; Okay, he was shouting this time.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em><span style="color: #ff33ff;">Are you kidding me? I am at shower la! You wanna ask such question at this time meh?</span></em>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Faster answer, i count till 3 only.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<span style="color: #ff33ff;"><em>What The.. ?</em></span>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>1 &#8230;.. 2&#8230;.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<span style="color: #ff33ff;"><em>Okay okay, YES I Will</em></span>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>3! Okay.. DEAL!</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>End of story.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t say you don&#8217;t believe. I also can&#8217;t believe I agreed to marry him at my shower. It does sound very much like what he will do.</p>
<p>See, not sweet right? Like this how to tell people. Luckily I was not doing big business in the toilet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been counting down to this date ever since we submitted the form to JPN Putrajaya in May.</p>
<p>I checked the things that I packed for few times to ensure that I did not miss to bring back all the important documents like the notification letter, our IC, the rings, the passport, the blue background passport size photo and the dress &amp; suit we are going to wear for the ROM.</p>
<p>Before that, I&#8217;ve bought 1 dress which I was not very satisfied and bought 2 more dress last minute just to make sure I look the brightest on my very important day.</p>
<p>Hongkiat also bought a very expensive yet very geng jai shirt for this important day. I appreciated it. He looks great.</p>
<p>I guess at this moment, I should be doing what I always did, posting a lot of photos. :D</p>

<p>That&#8217;s all. Very tiring day. Slept less than 3 hours. Woke up at 6am, sleep at 1am. Exhausted but very happy.</p>
<p>At last, I would like to say a million thanks to<br />
1. My parents and HK&#8217;s Parents. Your witness means really a lot to us. This is the biggest reason we wanna get registered at KL.<br />
2. My grandparents. They have been wanting to see me getting married for a long time. They were even more happier than me.<br />
3. HK sis Stacey and bro HongWei for taking 1 day off from work, travel all the way back from Singapore to witness our registration.<br />
4. My sis Jacey for waking up 1 hour earlier before me (that&#8217;s 5am), get prepared herself before me and help me to do my makeup and hair styling. Really appreciated it. Love the make up.<br />
5. My sis Yee and her bf. Thanks for helping out and driving us around.<br />
6. My bro<br />
7. My auntie Suat Ling<br />
8. Fionce and her Hubby. Thanks for coming. Appreciated the effort!<br />
9. Belle and Sam for taking 1 day off, offering to do makeup for me and come witness the registration. Muaks.<br />
10. Wingz and Aaron for all the lovely photographs. You have no idea how much we appreciated them.<br />
11. Haohao for insisting to skip school to attend my registration.</p>
<p>Thank you all for coming. Your witness means a lot of us.</p>
<p>And Off coz, my hubby! Thank you. I don&#8217;t know how to put all my thoughts in words. I love everything you bought for me, I know this is one of the ways you show me how much you love me. I know you always wanna get the best for me. It&#8217;s okay not to be romantic most of the time. We can be romantic once in a while. I never care how people think of us, you are being more and more protective. I love that.</p>
<p>(Oh, I should stop writing those. I can go on for pages with the not-attractive and dull english.)</p>
<p>For friends who can&#8217;t make it, please don&#8217;t be sorry. It&#8217;s really okay. I know how much you wanna make the effort to come. I really appreciated it. Thanks.</p>
<p>For friends who did not get invited, please don&#8217;t feel bad. It&#8217;s a friday and it&#8217;s working day, there&#8217;s no need to take a day off for such short ceremony. Journey to Putrajaya is very far, traffic condition is bad in the morning also. I seriously didn&#8217;t want to trouble you.</p>
<p>I will post more photos in my facebook after this. :)</p>
<p>Thanks again everyone for all the wishes.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s 4.30am in the morning now. Mrs Lim need to get rest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, I went for a short trip to Batam with my lovely colleagues. An all-girls outing. Thanks to the organizer Novi.</p>
<p><strong>Where is Batam?</strong></p>
<p>One hour ferry trip from Harbour front, Singapore. A small island in Indonesia.</p>
<p>Novi, our organizer pre-book the ferry tickets (and coach) 1 week before the trip. Everyone woke up really early to take the ferry at 8.40am. We were meeting at Harbour front at around 8am.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam01.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>The Ferry took off right on schedule.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam02.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>No surprise, we camwhore a little at the ferry. Everyone was going to Batam for the first time except our organizer. :p</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam03.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>

<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam07.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>After 1 hour journey, we reached Batam! Well, there should be 11 of us, but I will tell the small incident before I end my post.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam08.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>It was only about 9am (indonesia time, which is 1 hour behind Singapore) when we reach Batam. Shopping mall not open yet. We gotto wait for Novi and Amber who missed the Ferry and were on their way to Batam at the next ferry trip.</p>
<p>Therefore we just lepak-ing at the Batam customs there for 1 hour before we head to the massage centre.</p>
<p><strong>What to do at Batam?</strong></p>
<p>Massaging was the main purpose of the whole trip.</p>
<p>After Novi and Amber arrived, we quickly went on to the coach and head to the massage centre. We didn&#8217;t wanna mess up further with the initial itinerary which we had already missed one event (Famous fish soup as our breakfast).</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam10.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Our coach!</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam09.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam11.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Actually, no photo taking in the massage centre one. So I didn&#8217;t take much. We all opt for the massage and scrub. It took approximately 90 minutes to finish whole process.</p>
<p>It was long, but quite okay la the service. After the massage and scrub, we were all treated a cup of tea (coffee, tea and ginger tea), free of charge.</p>
<p>The massage cost me RP200.000 (200k), which is equivalent to  SGD28.82. I know it&#8217;s nothing cheaper than what we had in Bangkok, but come on&#8230; this is a lot nearer to Bangkok. :p</p>

<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam13.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>After massage, we went to Nagoya Mall for lunch. The first meal of the day. Everyone was starving!</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam14.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Nagoya Mall seems like central market to me.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam15.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><strong>What to eat at Batam?</strong></p>
<p>Apa lagi? Ayam Penyet la!</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam16.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>The famous Ayam Penyet. Look, they have a lot of branches.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam17.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Their menu, roughly give you the idea of how other place has over charge you for the same ayam penyet. Hahaha. RP 12.000 (12k) was below SGD2. The conversion rate is SGD 1 to RP 6940. I had ayam penyet at singapore for SGD 6.50.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam18.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Sayur Asem - a soup with vegetable. Sour soup, cabbage, dragon fruit, corn, etc.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam19.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Ayam Penyet. The chilli was fantastic!</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam20.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Pecel - Mixed vegetable with peanut gravy. Taste very good.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam21.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Cute Etza. She is Indonesian Chinese.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam22.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Pempek - made from fish. It taste a bit like leko leko to me.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam23.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><strong>What to buy at Batam?</strong></p>
<p>If you are looking for cheap and cute printing t-shirts, there you go. Slightly less than SGD 3 per t-shirt. Well, I didn&#8217;t buy any of these, totally not my style. :) But these young ladies were totally crazy about those t-shirts.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam24.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam25.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Big shopping mall. But nothing I am attracted to except the food and off coz the &#8216;Chitato&#8217; potato chips!</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam26.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>This was our second mission going to Batam. To buy a lot of <a href="http://www.indofood.com/chitato/" target="_blank">Chitato</a>!</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam27.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam28.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>I mean, really a lot. I think in total, each of us a least grabbed 4 big bag of the chitato. Oh, and a lot of Indo mee which we can&#8217;t find in Singapore. Hahaha.</p>
<p>End up I spent less than SGD20 for those potatochips and Indo mee. I grabbed 5 big bag potato chips, 15 pack indomee and 3 hello panda. Well, it does not sound cheap but at least I cant get this at Singapore. :p I am satisfied.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam29.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>The outside look of Nagoya Mall.</p>
<p><strong>What else to buy at Batam?</strong></p>
<p>Well, besides cheap and cute printing t-shirt and Chitato, you can buy all the fake branded bags! Coach, LV, Gucci with a lot of designs which you are not going to find at the retail shop.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam30.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam31.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam32.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Definitely at a very cheap price. Probably less than SGD30.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam33.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam34.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><strong>What else to eat at Batam?</strong></p>
<p>Seafood! Very Cheap!</p>
<p>Actually, we were suppose to eat seafood. But due to the rush, we only able to order food that doesn&#8217;t have any shell, in order words, we cant have crabs and prawn! How sad.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam35.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>This stall open at 6pm (indonesia time). Our ferry will leave at 7.50pm. We gotto check in at least 30 minutes before departure. That means we only got about 1 hour for dinner.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam36.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam37.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s why we ordered fried chicken with garlic.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam38.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>CALAMARI. Okay, one the seafood.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam39.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Grilled Fish.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam40.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>There was another fried fish which I forgot to snap a picture.</p>
<p>The food was alright. Nothing special. Probably I am disappointed because we don&#8217;t have crabs and prawns.</p>
<p>The whole meal was damn cheap. It was only RP26.000 (SGD 3.74).</p>
<p>After the dinner, we rushed to the Ferry terminal. We still have about 10 minutes before we check in.</p>
<p><img title="Batam Trip 2009" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/07/batam41.jpg" alt="Batam trip 2009" /></p>
<p>Everyone carried at least 3 bag of their own stuff. Haha! Importing the chitato into Singapore.</p>
<p>I was damn tiring towards the end of the trip. Just when I thought everyone should be pretty tired already, there were 3 young ladies talked and laughed non-stop during the whole ferry trip.</p>
<p>Totally restecpa!</p>
<p>We reached Harbour Front, Singapore at around 10pm. Feeling exhausted already.</p>
<p>Overall, the trip was fun with the girls. Batam was a great place to spend on massage and food. But definitely not a shopping place and sight-seeing for me. I am happy that the whole journey was pleasant.</p>
<p><strong>The incident</strong></p>
<p>The itinerary was distributed to everyone at least 3 days before the trip. We all were well-aware of the meeting point and time.</p>
<p>The unbelievable Amber, she must be on her own world, thinking that ferry leaves at 8.40am, she just need to be there around 8.40am. Everyone was so nervous when she is nowhere to be seen when it&#8217;s 8am. She was still on her way coming to harbour front.</p>
<p>The gate closed at 8.25am. Novi decided to wait for her, we all fast fast check in to the terminal. Time reported was 8.20am.</p>
<p>When everyone (except Novi and Amber) found the seat in ferry, Novi sent us sms saying they can&#8217;t make it. They were not allowed to board the ferry. Amber was 5 minutes late.</p>
<p>So we have to leave without the 2 of them. Yes, totally was Amber&#8217;s fault.</p>
<p>Well, what&#8217;s lucky was that, they can exchange the ferry ticket and board the next ferry at 9.40am. Therefore they will be late for 1 hour, also everyone loss 1 hour time, also we can&#8217;t eat the famous fish soup which only open at morning as we planned in the itinerary.</p>
<p>ALL due to AMBER&#8217;s FAULT!</p>
<p>What impressed me was, Novi. She was so responsible and sacrifice herself to wait for Amber. A great organizer. Guess what, she was the only one who been to Batam. All of us has no idea what to do and where to go at Batam. She was the one who plan the itinerary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend (4th July), I went back KL to attend friend&#8217;s wedding. Both Eugene and Emily were my close friends. I&#8217;ve knew Emily since secondary school. You can do the math yourself of how long we have knew each other. On the other hand, I know Eugene since college time for about 8-9 years! Gosh&#8230; the figure really&#8230; make me feel old.</p>
<p>I still remember the time E&amp;E started dating. I was there. Witnessing the beginning of the relationship. Emily was hesitating at first. Worrying about the communication barrier. Worrying about how her parents accepting him, etc etc. I remembered me and Jaeve encourage her to accept Eugene as he is really a nice guy, smart and caring.</p>
<p>Well, after 9 years of courtship, they decided to get married. I am so happy about this outcome! Hehe. We have not been contacting and hang out with each other for years after college. But I am glad that I am invited to their wedding ceremony and dinner.</p>
<p>This event was also a &#8216;catch-up&#8217; session with those &#8216;long-time-no-see&#8217; friends. It was a great dinner seeing old friends. Sigh, I&#8217;ve not been a good friend at all.</p>
<p>Pictures time!</p>

<p>The wedding ceremony - christian style. This was the first time I attend such ceremony. :) Singing and Pastor talks a lot, hmm, I can&#8217;t say I enjoy the particular moment very much. You have no idea how much I wanna skip this and go straight to the part where E&amp;E say &#8220;I DO&#8221; and kiss. Haha.</p>

<p>Suthan, June and Jaeve. Purple is nice. I might consider to have my wedding theme color to Purple. Or PINK. HOHO.</p>

<p>Ta Dang! The King and Queen. Eugene and Emily. Groom Looking really smart, looking great in white suit. Brides smile happily and blissful in her full lace wedding gown. I saw her having hard time to walk at first, probably too long?</p>

<p>After the ceremony, everyone came out from the ballroom and register themselves to banquet.</p>

<p>Suthan was invited to give a speech with the company of Marieanne. Both of them were nervous there. But Suthan gave a nice speech! :)</p>

<p>The sexy ladies in black! Black dress make you look slimmer but when come to photographing, this is the biggest problem - You can&#8217;t tell the design of the dress.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although I promise myself not to expose these photos till the very last minute or after my wedding, but I cant help to share my happiness with my friends and family! I already get &#8216;approval&#8217; from my hubby-to-be to share these pictures online. keke</p>
<p>And also I want to document my happiness in my blog.</p>
<p>Now, I shamelessly present few of our final selection of the pre-wedding photos.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2224" title="img_5967" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/06/img_5967.jpg" alt="img_5967" width="500" height="750" /></p>

<p>Here are the 6 of 50 we selected from over 400 shots. All fully outdoor shooting. Glad that I don&#8217;t look really fat in the pictures. Ho Ho Ho.But, my smile is not perfect (showing too much gum). Hongkiat looks great in the photos.</p>
<p>Which one do you like the most? I love the beach side picture where we both sit down one and facing each other.</p>
<p>We got the soft copy from <a href="http://www.chingling.net/blog/2008/12/16/i-am-a-julia-wedding-news-bride/" target="_blank">Julia</a> last 2 weeks. Now we are in the middle of doing the layout ourselves. Hopefully we can get it done (the layout of the album) by mid July and send back to Julia and get the album printed. Printing the album will need 1.5 months waiting time because printing will be done in Taiwan.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s hope I will get the album latest in mid september.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since the <a href="http://www.chingling.net/blog/2009/01/10/gold-class-experience/" target="_blank">last visit to Gold Class</a> during our anniversary, I kinda miss the comfortness and luxurious experience of Gold class.</p>
<p>This time round, we <em>jio-ed</em> <a href="http://www.cincauhangus.com" target="_blank">Aaron</a> to watch Terminator: Salvation at Gold Class Cinema @ GSC Signature Gardens.</p>
<p>RM45 for the ticket + RM15 dunno what surchage = RM60 (Still cheaper than I went to Gold Class in SG)</p>
<p>Inclusive of a drink and blanket. Oh, also a small pillow.</p>

<p>The lady was asking what free drink do we want, choices of soft drinks or mineral water.</p>
<p><img title="Gold Class Cinema At GSC Signature Gardens" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/06/goldclass_gardens03.jpg" alt="Gold Class Cinema At GSC Signature Gardens" /></p>
<p>Aaron with his famous half-dead look.</p>

<p>Very spacious waiting lounge. A lot more bigger than the one at Vivo, at least 3x! This picture only showing 1 side. There was another side of waiting lounge. Even more spacious.</p>
<p><img title="Gold Class Cinema At GSC Signature Gardens" src="http://www.chingling.net/blog/images/2009/06/goldclass_gardens05.jpg" alt="Gold Class Cinema At GSC Signature Gardens" /></p>
<p>This was the cinema hall.</p>

<p>Aaron said he was very very tired as he had paint ball session this morning and body-ache, he might fall asleep during the show.</p>

<p>I would say it was quite the same feeling as the gold class at GV Vivo (Singapore). Same as last time, it&#8217;s too comfy till we can all easily fall asleep! But the movie was good enough to keep me awake. :)</p>
<p>Next, Transformer! Can&#8217;t wait. Anyone wants to join? Most probably watch in Vivo Gold Class! MUAHAHAHA!</p>
