bridemaids

The gatekeepers. Main purpose in life? To make the last 30 minutes of the groom’s single life miserable before he gets his bride!

girls at the door

Not so easy with us around! HAHA.

i love you - brothers

Torture #1: Forming “I LOVE YOU !” below the bride’s block and shout “I Love you Frances!” It was 7am and she lived on the 13th floor. We woke all her neighbors up on a sunny Saturday! HAHA.

Torture # 2: Iron a crumpled shirt to perfection! The groom is actually quite good at this! Lucky brothers who merely stood there and watched.

Torture #3: Melting 3 ice blocks where one of them contained the key! The brothers smashed them up instead. HMPH.

We got too excited we didn’t take any photos of the groom’s glorious victory after an easy feat. Sigh. We are just way too kind.

triplets

My sister’s first encounter with triplets (from Groom’s family).

The bride changed into the traditional costume for tea ceremony at her place.

…To be Continued.

Will post about the wedding later tonight. First, I will need to send an email to the assistant director (curator) of the museum about my thoughts after reading those articles.

It’s bedtime! I need to wake up at 430am tomorrow. Booooo.

My colleagues are either too stressed up or too slack. HAHA.

That’s me in my “property/insurance agent” photo and my boss in the middle. HAHA.

I received an email from a random colleague from our company. I realized I don’t know the sender or the other recipients. They must have sent to the wrong Serene but I was totally thrilled to have a common name this time round! HAHA.

sephora

I am a happy girl carting these goodies back! 2 lipsticks, 1 eye liner, 2 eyeshadow palettes all for S$40! WOOHOO!

Tomorrow is the last day!! Go get them!!

I wanted to get some fresh flowers to do up my hair for my cousin’s wedding tomorrow but we need to be at her place by 6am and the flowers need to last till the solemnization ceremony in the evening, so fresh flowers are definitely a no-no. The next best alternative is artificial flowers. So off I went to the nearest florist.

A bunch of artificial flowers that cost $12.90. I don’t need an entire bunch. So wasteful!

IMG_0490

A bunch of “rounded” flowers that cost $5.90. But I don’t exactly like these round round flowers on my head.

Alas… I found the perfect flower …

The size is just right – a vintage looking paper flower! Perfect for my bridesmaid dress. I found this hanging on my shelf. It’s from a gift packaging I received many years ago from a good friend! This cost $0 but I’m giving it 100 points for being earth and pocket friendly!

I believe in presenting manicured toes whenever I wear open toes / peep toes shoes / heels.

Being lazy and superficial, I only painted the first two. HAHA.

I was inspired by Audrey Tautou’s masculine dressing in my previous post and decided to match up my masculine pants with feminine satin ribbon top to work.

I was a happy girl until the silly M18 experience.

M18.

I got a pair of free tickets to the sneak preview of Ninja Assassin from my cousin and so I brought my baby brother along for the show. After eating BK (kids love fast food huh?!) we headed straight for the show.

And I took the usual, me with the movie poster picture…

… and after the picture taking, my brother calmly said, “This show is M18.”

M18!!!!!!!!!! He is freaking 15!!!!!!! AHHHH.

I tried and failed terribly in trying to sneak him in and so we were literally kicked out of a free movie. Gosh. This is the most depressing day of the week but we made another couple happy. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.

URGH.

I think I am fighting a losing battle with Cheong Soo Pieng’s articles. Read 15 articles. 6 more articles to go.  I need some encouragement.
