H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S

I'M BACK!!!

Wahahahahas... I'm SOOOO happy. ^^

Yesterday was my FIRST TIME in my life, going through a wedding, with so much excitement, so much anticipation... so much satisfaction. ^^

This is how it went... ^^

1. Met xueying, jiahui, jasmine 1pm at HarbourFront PastaMania... Jasmine super late la! Hahas..cos she went to make her hair for the occasion. WELL.. on the account that her jonathan fetched us to sentosa, i shall not complain much..hahas!

2. Reached Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort...about 3pm checked in.

3. The room was nice and clean! After a series of photo shots of the room here and there.. with us supermodels in it... hahas.. went for a bath and the mission begins...

4. Once my hair was blown dry, jiahui began to help me make my hair... she was superb man! though the hair making process was a little pain here and there (cos i'm not acustom to tie hair in different styles, my hair was transformed la! never seen my hair plait and tuck until sooo neat. Hadn't realised I got so much hair also.. hee..

5. Next up, xueying helped me to make up... aiyo... the entire process is soooooo torturing!!! whahahaha... i remember one part is the curling of eye lashes.. OMG.. its soo scary and painful la! Dear viewers.. u can laugh.. but don't laugh too hard OK.. ^^

6. Oh man.. i was transformed. OK... must give them the credits.. they did such a good job la! even commented that it was a challenge to them! aiyoyoo... Mummy, xueying said u will be so glad to see your daughter la! Hahahas..

7. I was taken by surprise when i look into the mirror la... maybe i had never been put into a MUST makeup position b4.. Hee.. its my FIRST TIME OK. last time was stage production.. not counted..the makeup then was super thick like opera la! Lol...

8. Then we changed into our No.1 attire... took more photos. ^^ Next got to learn how to fix the sword belt to our waist. 'tick tock'...'tick tock'... Not much time left!!!

9. Then! we made our way to the ballroom! The rehearsal was a breeze through.. we ladies were paired up with male sword bearers... hahahas... nothing much difficult for us...hee.. since we were all military personnel.. the atmosphere was there.. everything was just GREAT.

10. We waited and waited for the cue to slow march into the ballroom. THEN.. FINALLY.
The door opened and the MOMENT was then. Smoothly we swordbearers slow march in, turned and faced one and another. Next, raised our sword (like a roof top) to welcome the bride and bridegroom to walk pass us. The wait seems ETERNAL! Our arms were aching by the weight of the sword... Hahas.. my male sword bearer even hold his sword until it was slanted! I had to rescue his sword to put it back to position! so CHALLENGING la!

11. After the tekan which finally the bride and bridegroom cleared all of our sword roof tops, we turn and walked smartly back to outside.

12. Next challenge! we quickly walked back our room, off the No.1 and on our dresses for the night! Thanks to jiahui who helped me changed my hairstyle again! hahas... with a little bit of makeup to touch up, we ladies enter the ballroom once again! Wahahahas... this time to EAT! After all... who want to miss the sharkfin dish... or have it cold? ^^

13. Yummy... the food was great... I LOVE GOOD FOOD. ^^

14. Next, we had another job to do.. the bride went to change into another gown then we position ourselves to blow bubbles when she returns again with the bridegroom :)

15. The Dinner was a success and i met soooo many of my ocs instructors la! I'm from sierra wing platoon 1!!! Met our PC also! hahas...
