Wedding Preparation 2: Pre-Wedding Photo shoot

As I mentioned earlier in my blog, we opted for a rather economical package for our pre-wedding photo shoot. You can read it here. Actually, our appointment for shooting was delayed twice, firstly few dresses were unavailable and the second time was our photographer need to go overseas. Finally, it all happened on 6th August 2012 (Monday). We are considered lucky as it was actually public holiday for Selangor and the traffic was really smooth.

We arrived around 8.40am for our 9.00am appointment. *Drumrolls*…Let me revealed. Our bridal studio is PRECIOUS, SS2. The make up artist was punctual. Make up took bout an hour plus and we had our first shot outdoor in Titiwangsa. Mr Chin is our photographer. Very patient and funny guy. So is his assistant.

The weather was very kind to us. Cloudy and windy (sometimes). No rain, no striking hot sun.

I love his looks with bow tie and vest..

 

Our secret self shot. Photographer asked us to pretend taking pictures

 

Mr Chin…cute pose right?

 

Both of them were so dedicated. Wiped endless sweat off my fiancé like a million times. Take care of your personal belongings. Guide you into every pose. Seriously, their job aren't easy..

 

Taking our lunch

 

After the outdoor shots, I felt so excited and energetic. Changing dress was quite easy but changing hair style was HELL. Imagine your hair had been sprayed with hair spray and applied multiple layer of foam. Hard as rock and they just combed through…Second time was ok, however, as I changed another 3 hairstyles, I felt my scalp was going to peel off. So painful T____T

My second look. My sister said I look like mini-vampire. P/s: My arms are very fat, flabby and ugly.

 

Just couldn't get over how handsome he looked in suit

 

Everything ended around 7.30pm. We really felt exhausted. Could hardly smile after the 4th dress, my eyes were so dry, mouth numb. Hahaha. Just exhausted. It was really an experience of a lifetime. I cant imagine my friend that changed 12 sets of dresses. Lolz. That's for now. XOXO

Hat Yai- Day 3 @ Songkhla Lake and Floating Market

Finally I'm writing the last post for Hat Yai. It has been delayed for almost half a year. The last few stops were Songkhla Lake, Songkhla beach (The one with the mermaid combing her hair statue) and floating market. Due to our greediness, we ate at the floating market and down with severe food poisoning.

During the journey back home, I started to feel nauseous and vomited several times. My dear also suffered the same fate along with a little boy from our tour group. He too ate at the floating market. Perhaps, it was our luck. Just beware and be selective when buying food from there ok? Good luck!

 

Oh no…the sky was turning black

 

Doesn’t he looked like “Ben 10”? Hahaha

 

We are ready!

 

The boat did not come with a roof. Big problem~

 

Errrmmmmm……

 

 

They have hats standby one the side for us…thank u…

 

Buffaloes enjoying themselves

 

Yeah…the sun came back. The rain lasted about 10 – 15 mins

 

 

At the end of every problem, there is always rainbow (hopefully)…

 

 

 

Songkhla beach

 

We didn’t bother to queue…lazy

 

Final stop - Floating river

 

 

This clay and bamboo drinks were a hit among tourist. It’s all yours or you can actually buy only the clay mug

 

Super high cholesterol

 

The fillings inside these cute little “fruits” were actually bean paste. Its quite yummy

 

 

Beef noodle soup.

 

Eventually, he failed!

 

 

Cute right?

Overall the trip was quite enjoyable except for the food poisoning part and having to travel back in 9 to 10 hours journey which is killing us softly. We went during public holiday and the queue for restroom was also hell. That’s all. Peace!

Loy La Long Hotel – Bangkok (Day 3)

For the first two nights in Bangkok, we stayed at Take a Nap Hotel in Silom for convenience and easy access to trains and monorail. We tone down most of our activities in day 3 to enjoy the slow pace of Bangkok and decided to surprise my dear with a night in Loy La Long hotel (he gave me the authorities to book any hotel I want. Yeay!)

LLL hotel is located in Yaowarat (which means China town) and famous for shark fins, seafood as well as bird nests. We took cab from Silom to Yaowarat. Its about 5-10 minutes ride or so. LLL hotel is actually inside a temple (Patumkongka Rachaworawiharn Temple). Complicated huh? Its quite easy once you get the hang of this place. 

The walkway

Such a homey feeling. Downstairs living room

 

Balcony

Chao Phraya River. You can jump into the river anytime

Our green room

 

Very spacious bathtub. Need very long time to fill up

 

Our chill out area. Amazing view equipped with DVD player and TV

Mini panorama view

 We took away dinners instead and enjoy eating them at the balcony

Watching many Dinner Cruise cruised by

Good morning! Initially we wanted to have our breakfast at the same balcony but it was occupied. Later on, the staffs asked to why not go up instead? *Really? We can go up???- Happy dance*

So relaxing up here

Breakfast is served. Simple and nice

Go there and experience it yourself. What ever I written here wasn’t sufficient to describe the warmness, coziness and gorgeousness of Loy La Long Hotel.  If you don’t believe me, check out LLL review in tripadvisor ( click here ).
