Still haven't Found a chapel yet!! / Saturday, January 27, 2007
Aiyor!!! Can you believe this? It's kind of crazy that we still can't find a chapel. This weekend, i have found some time to record a list of churches to call on Monday and Tuesday. Continue our hunt.
Well, as of last Monday, we went and check out Monash Uni chapel. Its pretty good, but there some set up thing that we don't really like. However, it is kinda sweet as Quent goes to school there.
Then on Thursday, we went to see this church near Chris's House, we can mathematically like walk there!! Anyway, didn't really like the place, as it was a little too small!!! Haiyar... Thought it would be good to document both the chapel down.

Wedding Dress Hunting / Monday, January 22, 2007
It's been an exciting week.
Last Monday, 15th Jan, after getting information from Alicia Barkley about Abbey Bridal SALE, I went and check it out with Vernis, Janice, and Serene, before i had to go to Adelaide.
Well, Vernis and Serene, still has their heart set on the first dress i tried on. Even though me and Janice like the 3rd one that i tried on. Which we both like the style and the price of it. All in all, it was a very pretty one. The following picture is not the exact one that i tried on, but they are some of Abbey's collection.
It was really hard, as most of them, i will need to get it tailored, for the hem area and bust area too!!! So frustrating! That cost more $$$, and just makes a poor Asian girl feels lost without good assets! ;)
Anyway, we tried on a total of 3 dresses that day, and felt really good about it.
Today, 22nd Jan, following Yvette's expert observation for good buys, we went to the famous Mariana Hardwick determined that we will get a dress today. To our dismay, we may be 3 days late from the sale, as most sizes are gone, so are the good buys. Well, we resolve to walking the bridal street, popping our heads into boutiques and some wedding shops. I tried on this lovely gown style wedding dress, and absolutely fell in love with it! What can i say? It makes a girl feels like a princess!!! Well, it's a bit $$$, but we'll see how we go. It's only the 4th dress i tried on right? ;)
In total, we've tried on 8 dresses of different styles, since we started our wedding dress hunt! Did new things, and met some interesting people! For example, we met this sales lady who described her boobs as "enough for the whole of China!"; while another sales lady for a French Designer Moche, who Vernis and Serene described as Izma, from "Emperor's New Grove", without Purple eye shadow!
Hugs and Kisses and Good Night Jesus!

The Story of my Engagement / Thursday, January 11, 2007
It's my birthday!! 6th January 2006. My first time spending birthday with Sayang.
Please forgive me for sounding dumb in the following story, but i was kept in the dark, and i was very trusting and relies on my boyfriend.
Quent woke me up at 4:30 am, gave me 30mins before he A.I.S. (Ass In Seat) me, still feeling half dead from such early wake up call, we took on our journey, listening to songs and chatting away. At this very moment, i seriously think we were going to the beach, as i was told. So, i asked, "Dear, are we going to watch sunrise?" His answer was nope. Then is asked, "Does anyone know what we are doing today?" His answer was "No questions for you." He sounded so demanding!! Never got that from him before =) So, i happily chatting away and singing away with the songs, while squeezing in some yawns.
Then, here came the junction to the airport, and i said to Quent, "Gees dear, the beach must be quite far away, we are even passing the airport!"Quent calmly said, "yeah." Then, he turn on his left signal into the airport! Ok, now i'm excited, we are getting out of Melbourne, but still i didn't know where we were going until we checked in.
So, Sydney here we come. We both took our nap and arrived in Sydney at about 9am. Quent bought ferry tickets, and then we went and romp around the Opera House and the shops, and shared an ice-cream. We saw this exciting Jet Boats... they were cool as!! But, dude, i have motion sickness and i can't really heck roller coaster, so even thought those jet boats looks cool by Darling Harbour, i don't think i will ever get on it.
At 11am, we took our ferry heading to Rose Bay, Sayang busily occupied my mouth with words, so that i won't concentrate too hard on the motion of the ferry. When we arrived at Rose Bay, it was just a big huge park by the bay. So, we walked around, and discussed what we wanted for lunch, and Quent even asked if i like to catch a bus to the famous Bondi Beach. Well, whatever my answer would be, he already had something planned, so we were late to catch our bus to Bondi!!! We came by a Sea Plane service shed, and Quent walked in and checked us in! Goodness me! I'm going on a sea plane!
Sayang never took a plane ride with me before, but to his horror after paying such an expensive treat for me, then he found out that i'm afraid of flights. Well, so we were on our way to a secluded Portuguese Beach. Came along with us on the sea plane ride were 3 more people.
When we arrived at Portuguese Beach, only did we found out that, it was not as secluded as we thought it would be. On that very beautiful day, many more people had the same idea as us, and they took their yatch and boats onto the beach; playing beach cricket, sun tanning, fishing etc. We then found our spot, and set up our picnic rug, umbrella and food that was provided by the seaplane and started our lunch.
Okay, i still didn't know or expected anything at this moment! I know i am blur...!
We did our thing, and enjoyed ourselves, then Quent started doing some talking...until Grace called! Of course, i wasn't rude to pick up the phone, but i told Quent "Wait ar, let me reply Grace with a message first!" Gees, that just caused my boyfriend's eyes rolled back a billion times. After i am done, he refuses to talk anymore, so i thought i get some tan while i catch a shut eye. The story goes on...
I woke up, and he asked me to take a walk with him around the bend of the beach. We talk about life, and how long we've been together. Then, he started this serious talk about our future which i constantly interrupted innocently; Sayang, was never this demanding before, but he practically said to me "Shut up, please" then he continues with his much nervous speech, and kneels in front of me, and proposed!!!
Yup...the rest is history!!!
I'll be Mrs Quentin Loke this coming December!!!
