who's the biggest loser?

hi followers!

don't get me wrong... but if u'r familiar with UK telly programmes, u'll understand the 'loser' that i'm talking is not:

instead i'm talking about :

so my biggest loser regiment #1 began last saturday with a session of Thai Kick Boxing at Chok Muay Thai, and i hope i'll be able to continue this at least until my wedding day. it was actually quite fun! and it really did work out my whole body... 'coz i could feel that my limbs and abs are aching still after 2 days... :P

cheers,

liz

the ideal wedding shoes

hi followers,

as a shoe-a-holic like my mum, we've always had trouble storing our shoes... as a result, my mum came up with the idea where every time when we buy a new pair of shoes, an old pair has to go... but i think this time we're going to make an exception for these shoes.... my wedding shoes =)

THE shoes have to fall in the following criteria:
- 4 inch or above heels
- peep toe
- wedge front

the problem is... i still haven't decided what colour i should get... white? beige? silver? or even gold?

when chris and i were on our way to ritz carlton for a afterwork drink yesterday, we saw a pair of very decent silver jimmy choos. totally perfect for the occasion... however... they only have 1 pair of size 36 in the entire HK and it's been reserved by some other customer... so.. i'm 2nd on the list now... and i'm hopeing that other person would give up these gorgeous bling bling shoes...

the 2nd pair that we saw yesterday was a pair of gold glittery heels from miu miu:

very discoy and sparkly... and they look absolutely fabulous on my feet... i'm talking about smoking hot... but the only problem is.. it's in a shade of dark gold.. >.<

what do u guys think? any other suggestions??????

shanghai... oh... shanghai...

hiya followers!!!

since i haven't been blogging at all... u must have wondered where i've been for my long weekend right? well... i bet the title of this piece has given the answer away... yes!!~ i just came back from shanghai... and it's too bad that i wasn't able to blog 'coz china apparently has blocked blogger.com too :( so... here is some catching up to do...

the main reason that we went to shanghai was  (other than the obvious reasons 小楊生煎- yummy dumplings and 阿娘麵- yummy crab meat noodle ;P)  to prepare for my dowry, and check out the wedding gown boutique My Wedding Atelier at Pennisula Shanghai. i have to say... i was totally overwhelmed...

mission #1 pearl shopping:
spent 2 days in the same shop shopping for white and gold pearls... it wasn't an easy task as there were soooooo many different kinds of pearls to choose from (sizes, shapes, colours, shininess, blah blah bla) but thankfully everything went smoothly with the help of the owner 玲紅 and her sister 玲玲, with their patience and expertise, we've found and made ourselves some exquisite necklaces, earrings and rings (all with a 'friendly' price as my auntie and mum were 'long-time' customers)... so... mission accomplished: gold pearl necklace with earrings for my traditional red 'qua' wedding dress and white pearl necklace and earrings set for my wedding gown, gifts for my bridesmaids... e-mail me if you would like to check them out the next time u go to shanghai 'coz their price is way lower than retail price but much better in quality...

mission #2 wedding gown:
talking about wedding gowns... i've finally visited My Wedding Atelier in Shanghai and have tried on T-H-E G-O-W-N... it's a wedding gown - Arielle by Monique Lhuillier and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL... the original piece comes with a cape, but it could be worn without... altho it was a little bit too big for me, it's still the BEST gown i've tried on =) the minute i walked into the shop and saw that dress on the manikin, i knew it's meant to be.... Shirley, the owner, was very nice and helpful and has also suggested gowns by Jenny Packham, and urged me to try them on. it is true that the floaty silhouettes are more suitable for beach wedding and they were all very well constructed... but u know... once u've set ur mind on something wonderful... it's so hard for u to change... so now the only concern is the cost... :( Shirley said they've got some new dresses coming in in oct... that means there's still some time for me to think...  everytime when i think about that dress my heart aches a bit... it's so close yet so far away... *sigh*
