Life has been pretty good thus far.

I've got smooth skin now (I hope it's not temporary!!) and I'm steering clear of foundation or even loose powder for good.

Work has been rather smooth-sailing *fingers crossed* and I'm going to Switzerland in June! Although it's for work and I can't say I'll enjoy writing the reports, I do love meeting new people and just being out of Singapore. ;)

Last but not least, I am addicted to Gossip Girl and it gives me boundless joy. Not only does it have pretty girls, fashionable clothes and cute guys, it actually has a plot.

The OC totally pales in comparison to this series, and I am hopelessly glued.

So glued that I can't fall asleep now. Sheesh.

We collected our wedding bands yesterday. I would have been fine with just a simple band but JW wanted one with an infinity sign, so it took quite a while before we settled on this pair in platinum.

Thankfully, it goes pretty well with my solitaire. It looks quite showy when I wear both rings together in real life, but I like the bling. :P

I think I must be one of the most kiasu BTBs around. I like to plan everything way in advance. My bridal and evening gowns will be ready for my first fitting in approximately 3 weeks, my designer says. I'm not complaining, even though my wedding is only in Jan 09.

I have been pretty decisive where wedding preparations are concerned. The only thing that makes me jittery is my skin condition. I was raving about natural skincare a while back, but I realised that it doesn't work for me. I've switched back to my dermatologist's products.

I remember I used to have almost flawless skin, but work stress and travelling over the past 3 years have taken a toll on my poor skin, making it easily irritable and sensitive. Previously, I never understood what blackheads and whiteheads were, for I never had first-hand experience. Now I do, and it irks me to no end! To end my misery, I'll be going for a skin treatment done by my derm. It'd better work.

Our pre-wedding photography will be done in Macau, and I'll be bringing my local make-up artist there as well. I've already started looking at bridal hairstyles...although they all look pretty much similar. I prefer romantic and royal styles.

These are some styles that I pretty much like:

I think the flower pins in her hair look cheap, but I like the rest of this hairdo.

I like this very much, but I'll probably use roses instead.

I love this casual yet chic style. Looks something like my normal hairstyle though.

This hairstyle would be perfect if I'm having a beach wedding. Maybe I could do this for my casual shoot.

Sultry yet sophisticated.

These styles are so me. Haha I think I might be able to recreate these myself. But given that it's so me, perhaps I should try something different instead.
