Little Snippets to the Theme...

had a brief catch up with one of my jie-meis cum wedding coordinator cum arts director cum consultant cum ideas generator a.k.a Ella..haha..
actually she's really one of my best ex-colleagues ever and we used to do product launches and other activities and events together, though she's usually the one in charge of everything since she's doing marcoms. hehz..

That's like a perfect person to help come out with ideas and source for vendors and stuffs since it's been part of her job all these while! Looking at the successful events she's done for work, i certainly have no doubts on her ability & creativity even though it's her first time in wedding related event ahaha.

Ok back to the theme, we're still sticking to a cinematic night but i would like to clarify that cinematic may not just mean Movie, it can include tv series, dramas etc right? ahaha...

Actually i'm in a dilemma as to how much to reveal in my blog. If i were to list out each and every idea with photos, then the guests who happened to read this blog wouldn't have much of a surprise eh...

let me see, time flies, we've about 5 months plus to go..omg...

so here're some ideas for our themes

1) wedding favours - this of course must be movie related.

This is one of the relevant one i can find and that fits the budget and with the local suppliers carrying this product.
i thought it's pretty pratical, being a photo coaster..hehz...
There're so many popcorn look alike wedding favours too but it's a pity that most of the suppliers are located overseas and i really want to save myself from stressing over shipments calculation and if the shipment really arrives at all.

2) Centrepieces

something like that will be cool..i kinda like the one of the bottom left..but it's probably gona be a DIY project, so don't expect too much ya...
I'll be using real actual film reels on each table since i have them, the only worry is that they are freaking heavy la! so...let's see..perhaps i'll just make do with films and remove the reels.

3) a life size cut out of us!

of cos, it ain't gona be as plain as this, it's gona be more interesting than this. and trust me, everyone's gona get humoured with our style!
eh actually that depends on the outcome of our casual pre wedding photoshoot and if the photographer is able to capture that kind of effect we wanted.
1 of our wedding shoot series will mimick after a popular, interesting TV show..hehez..
this i shall keep it as a surprise for all of you.

4) ang pow boxes

Wah this is one of the most important leh...=X
initially Ella & I thought of making a mega box of popcorns for the ang pow box with real pop corns for decoration on top..but after deep consideration, it's probably gona attract ants and can be done only on that day itself. quite mafan & i honestly don't think the jie meis helping out at the reception will enjoy touching it each time...lolx..


Tadah! wahhhaha..ok just for laughs...
we're probably gona DIY the ang pow box with a DIY movie clapper for the top and some images for the body of the box...ahaha...definitely without the china flag!

Okz enough snippets revealed! Are you getting as excited as I am?

Also while surfing for more ideas, i realized that a hollywood movie theme has been more popular...ours gona be a mix of both so hence called it cinematic.
*hint* don't expect it to be as glam as a hollywood theme ya..

No budget la...

even if budget is low, i'd still hope to do a little something to make this experience fun & enjoyable to thank our guests for being part of our celebrations. :)

Taiwan Kids friendly Accommodation with slides - not your usual list!

And so from a mere idea of bringing Sticky Bean with us to Taiwan, this idea was put into action with Singapore Airlines 70th Anniversary promotion where you get to pay only $70 for a child's ticket! Though it's not exactly the cheapest option for flying to Taiwan, we thought to pay a little more for better service and not to mention safety since it will be Sticky Bean's first time traveling on a relatively longer flight. Her first plane ride was a really short one to KL, a mere 1 hour away. If she's manageable on the flight, we can then consider budget airlines such as Scoot or even Jetstar for our subsequent travels. So why Taiwan? There are plenty of reasons for our choice other than both Mr. Keir and myself love Taiwan for the food and hospitality. I'm sure you may have come across Awesome kids friendly accommodation with slides and other themed rooms in Taiwan that are trending in facebook. That was one of the many reasons why we want to go Taiwan too! ...

8 Day 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Iitnerary (Taiwan)

Finally, we embarked on an exploration trip to the Southern part of Taiwan. Having heard so much about E-Da World in Kaohsiung, we decided to take a direct flight just to explore Kaohsiung. Initially, we'd wanted to do a Kaohsiung-Tainan trip but decided to skip Tainan this time around and did a Kaohsiung-Nantou trip instead. We had so much fun and would highly recommend a visit to Kaohsiung to any families travelling with kids. In fact, we find Kaohsiung a lot more child-friendly than Taipei. It is also less crowded so it makes it less claustrophobic taking public transport in Kaohsiung as opposed to Taipei. The people there are also a lot friendlier and helpful. This time around, my mum joined us as well and Sticky Bean was ecstatic as she gets to spend quality time with her Popo. Here's a preview of our 8 Days 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Itinerary (Taiwan) . You can click on the respective days for a detailed post. The link will be up once it's ready...

BTO Keys Collection and BTO Door Opening Ceremony

And so after a long 4 years wait, our BTO is finally ready for keys collection. To be honest we totally forgot about out BTO and was pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from HDB to inform us of our BTO keys collection date. That was when we frantically tried to hunt for an ID. Ok to cut the story short, here's what happened on the BTO keys collection day as well as what we did for our "BTO Door Opening Ceremony". There really wasn't an official BTO door opening ritual or ceremony in fengshui. I guess this is just a Singapore custom. Though we do not have a religion, in particular, we just did it for an ease of mind. Love the  living room view from our 30th storey BTO view from our Service Yard BTO Key Collection Process at HDB Time took: less than an hour It was a very straightforward and easy process. Here's what you need to prepare, assuming that you are taking the loan from HDB. Identity cards Marriage certificate if you are buying...
