Hello Everybody!
Hi Jan! Hi Kinky!
So happy to find brides with the same wedding day as me! How's all the preparations? For me, now only waiting for food tasting for wedding banquet, printing of invitation cards, wedding album to be ready, final selection of WG & EG.... anything i miss out?
For Jan & vee kee,
I tell u hor I'm so excited on the night before the photoshoot hor I couldn't sleep at all! Aiyoh, the excitement can kill!!!!
Before the make-up starts, Xiao Qing did ask me what colors i preferred and what not. For me, i did told her that i don't like too brownish tone and she also suggested using eyeshadow colors like light blue, a little red (if u taking ur "kua"), natural colors or colors to blend with all ur gowns. I had this gold EG and she sprayed temporarily gold hair spray onto my hair and also applied gold shimmering powder to my arms for that extra glow which i feel that she's quite thotful to think of that or maybe that's the usual practice? She also asked me what kind of hairstyle i prefer. When i told her i no idea, she then suggested several styles, like letting ur hair down, attach "fake" long hair and stuff. At first she gave me an impression like she a bit "hau-lian" but later on as the make-up goes along she chit chat with me & my hubby and i find her quite ok lor. I saw the complaints about her on this forum about her attitude, so maybe she changed a bit better lor.
Jan, no worries, u can tell her u like more pastel colors and I'm sure she will try to accomodate to ur request.
vee kee, the ampule issue is the thing that i don't really like their approach - she didn't ask me whether i want to have the ampule thing or not, she directly opened it up and started to apply on my face! As i have sensitive skin i quickly asked her whether is it going to do harm to my face?!!! She assured me that it will do more good than harm to my face and make-up, which i find quite true lor. My make-up stays better and not flaky. U prepare for that hor. Ampule cost $25. But i find the price ok lor, i heard some bridal shop charge brides the ampule and also the fake eyelashes for more than $25!!!! Lucky Milan never charge cos' i used 2 sets of fake eyelashes on both eyes!!!!
Both u gals, if can, request for another fittings of ur gowns before photoshoot lor. I regret never request cos' one of my EG never got altered (i suspect) cos' my chest got this big lobang and it upset me a little so my mood a bit spoilt lor but able to recover a bit when Xiao Qing pinned the back for me.
I hope u all don't find me too lor-so lor, cos' it's really very exciting and fun thing to do for the photography! U must enjoy it ok?!
Ok, for rolly 1, kinky, islandpub and all who wish to diet :
These are the rules i followed and so far i'm maintaining my weight at 45kg. No guarantee lah but hope it will work for all my fellow May brides who wish to diet
1) Try not to take kway-teow, yellow noodles, too much rice and starchy food at all meals. Bee-hoon ok.
2) Only allow yrself to take a meat dish in one meal for the day only. Like example, if u take a meat during lunch, restrict yourself not to take meat during dinner and breakfast. Try to take chicken and fish only. Chicken without the skin hor and fish better steamed ones not fried ones.
3) If u can't stop yourself from eating char kway teow or fried carrot cake, u can eat but always share with ur friend or hubby. share the calories with someone.
4) Eat tofu, egg (not the yolk cos' that's where the fat is!), yong tau-hu and soya products.
5) Try not to eat 1 hour before sleepy time.
6) Drink hot soup just before you eat cos' hot soup fills up the stomach and will give you a "full" stomach feeling, making u eat less.
7) Try not to take curry gravy or laksa gravy.
8) Don't take more than 3 slices of bread for b'fast.
That's about all i can remember now. I guess must discpline yourself lor. I used to weigh at about 60kg (7 years back before i met my hubby!). I guess after a little stress from work and as i cultivate the above eating habits i was able to keep it at 45kg for the past 2 years. eh, i got photo to proof some more leh better than Expression!
Try to eat everything on moderate and see if it's works...... usually shows in 1 - 2 months' time depending on each individual.
Have fun dieting and stay healthy everyone!
