Here it is...the post of Qing & Kelvin's customary wedding dinner!  It was held at Capella Hotel, Sentosa.

Cousin Ai Lian is the hottie in red while Jesslyn is in the middle.  If only I'd known, I would have worn my falsies too...can't see my eyelashes!!

Above is the sweets table where guests could load up on lollies, golden choc coins, marshmallows, cookies and cupcakes.

We cousins with the bride!! Darn it...as usual, I'm the shortest...Ailian - stop wearing heels!!  Qing's dress was customised but she didn't manage to tell me who did it for her.  Haha...I didn't expect my lace dress to match her lace sleeves.

The flower girl aka the niece.

The door gift.  Inside was a bookmark, which my cousin is now using as a 'badge'.

The couple cutting the cake which was a green tea chocolate cake.

 My nephew (cousin's son) was fooling around with the napkin, pretending to strangle himself and what not.  He soon took all the door gift boxes and turned them into a train.

With the lovely Patricia Mok.

Very red dress change where Kelvin wore a matching red Chinese vest with a Mao collar.

All in all, it was quite a lovely event and all the best to the couple!!  Enjoy your honeymoon and the many years to come.  Um...will I be expecting any more nieces or nephews? Hehehe....

Updated as of Oct 2014:

As most of you know, Kelvin and Qing are currently separated and divorce proceedings are underway. I'll leave them the due privacy in this personal matter. 

Leopard prints!!! My friend said that it's so boomz so maybe I should call it leopard preentz. Lol.

Thank you for the loads of compliments that I received for my leopard print nails!!

I went to the Anime Festival Asia 2011 yesterday with Conrad and Zedd. It first started off with Conrad and I going to watch the Naruto "Blood Prison" movie at 10am. We paid $10 for the movie but we were pleasantly surprised to receive a poster each!Check out my loot for the day below...

I bought the cat paws ($30) to match my cat ears, the latter being a gift from Satoshi many years ago.  I did find the paws with the exact similiar type of fur as my cat ears but they cost $30 EACH!!!

After the movie and lunch, Zedd and I went into the main stage area because I wanted to see the appearance of Flow @ 2.05pm.  As we were early, the Vanguard showcase was still on.  On stage were Danny Choo, popular blogger and host of 'Cool Japan' (left) as well as Milky Holmes and homegrown cutsie girl-group Sea(star)A.

 

Flow!! Saw them in the flesh!! But they disallowed photography during the whole session (bah).
After the appearance was the 'live' dubbing by voice actress Chiwa Saito.  I'm not into voice actors or actresses but it was fun to watch how things are done as well as the enthusiasm from the otakus around me.


 After the dubbing session, I took a quick walk to the main exhibition area.


Look at the crowd!! Spot the cosplayers!!  I counted 3 Narutos, 2 Clouds, a couple of Gundams and a leopard.  There were many more of course but I didn't recognise the characters! (T_T) I've been so out of touch with anime!!

After that quick round, I went back to the stage area for the Gundam movie.  I fell asleep during the middle and seriously, I am STILL not a fan of Gundam.  Sorry Zedd.  Thank you for explaining to me the storyline and the various Gundam characters but alas...a gundam convert I am not.

Above reads "I Love Anisong presents Rock Your Soul" and this is the concert that I've been waiting for!! FLOW!!!!!  I still find it stupid that they don't allow photography.  I can somehow understand no flash photography/ video taking but concerts are all about fans being close to their idols and taking photos of them live!!!!  Ugh.  This is the ONLY concert I've been to that doesn't allow photo taking. Boo.

Here's me waiting for the concert to begin and although I only started queuing at 6pm, I was very lucky to get pretty front row standing area.  The artistes performing were Sea A (gah...too cutesy for me), Ichiro Mizuki (I sat down half way...I am not into Kaisen Riders/ Gundam/ Natto...yes, he actually sang a song about natto), Lisa (she really revved the crowd and I think I might have turned into a fan) and Flow (they rocked the house down!!!!).

To make up for the lack of concert vids/ photos...please enjoy the following music videos to savour a fraction of the energy and music that was played...

If Flow comes back next year as they hope they will, I think I might be willing to pay for the expensive tickets just so that I can see them closer AND get to sit on a proper chair during Ichiro Mizuki's set.  Haha.  AFA 2012, here we come!!

Je'taime Paris?  This week's nails is cute, frilly but yet relatively simple to do.  Below is a close up of the Eiffel Tower on my thumb.  I didn't draw this on my right hand because I'm not ambidextrous...apologies for the bad pic qualities as the light and my camera refused to work with me today.

Here's how you can get this:

1. Base coat
2. Choose a nice pastel base colour.  Mine's Canmake no. 20 pink.  You might want to try baby blue or lavender.
3. You can add white stripes along as well but I just topped it off with Nicole's Nude Pink to give it a softer look.
4. For the frills, I first drew a semi circle and then filled in with black nail polish.  Do this for your index, third and last finger.
5. Once the half moon is dry, use a black nail polish pen to draw scallops along it.
6. For the Eiffel Tower, use the same black nail polish pen to draw an upside down V
7. Join the V with an arc
8. Draw a horizontal line through the upside down V, with the middle resting on the top of the arc
9. Draw a short horizontal line at the top and make this one thick
10. Write the word 'Paris' (or any French word for that matter) in cursive next to the Eiffel Tower
11. Top it all off with some glitter polish to give it a bit of sparkle
12. I used a silver nail polish pen to draw a couple of hearts on my ring finger nail
13. Seal it all off with top coat

Voila! Simple, non? You can add white stripes after the base colour too but I reckon that you need a steady hand (especially on your non-master hand) and a fine tip brush.  I've jazzed up my toe nails with some red hot nail polish and leopard prints too but that'll wait till my next post!!

We're on a charms galore!!! Personalise your bracelets or your necklaces with these alphabet charms and more!!  Go onto www.oct1983.com.sg to purchase them or like them on our Facebook Page today!  You can follow us on twitter too!

Starring Malaysian hotties Henley Hii and Josh Lai, this local production (I know...ironic since the cast is mainly Malaysian) is set in 1983 during National Service.  A timid recruit (Tedd Chan) believes that a local female ghost is out to get him and when he dies during a night march, his best friend and platoon mate soon experiences weird hauntings, where another platoon mate is even possessed.

I must say that this is one of the better Singaporean productions and it was a lot more horrifying than 'Changi Hospital' but less thrilling than 'The Maid'.  Thumbs up for local productions! The film quality was very good and I liked how the director, Gilbert Chan, weaved in jabs at what's currently going on in today's National Service (think of spoilt boys with their mobile phones and a really funny liner regarding maids carrying the pack).

The plot was a little predictable, it reminded me of 'Ghost Whisperer' meets 'The Ring' where the ghost was haunting and killing for a good reason and not because she's the spawn of the devil.  Some parts were not very believable either.  I reckon that the horror could have been amplified if there wasn't so much humour in the script especially with Mark Lee's Sergeant Kuah and your typical hokkein-spouting bad-boy soldier played by Lawrence Koh.  Might've been better if the movie opened during the lunar 7th month or on Halloween itself to increase the spook factor.

All in all, I was quite entertained and I wouldn't mind watching it again on telly just for the heck of it.  You won't be scared till you pee in your pants but at least you don't leave the cinema feeling like you've wasted your money on a ticket.
