DB Bistro

After our drinks @ Oyster Bar, we walked over to MBS for our dinner.

You can't help but realize how much the area has changed & we spotted lots of joggers running around the area too!

Checked in @ DB Bistro for our dinner. DB Bistro Moderne offers an exciting mix of trad French bistro cooking with contemporary American flavours and a world renown collection of signature burgers. Wondering what DB stands for? It's actually Chef Daniel Boulud.

Table setting

The guys were busy deciding on their wines while the ladies were more interested in taking pictures, haha!

Red for the guys & white for the girls.

They have a large selection of bread & our fave goes to those mini round bread, where we even had 2nd & 3rd helpings. Anyone knows the name of the bread?

Leecher decided to start the night with Assiette Lyonnaise, which was a selection of house made terrines & cured meats, served with country toast. He almost succeeded in spoiling our night with this dish, as no one was really a fan of it, haha!

This mushroom tarte flambee saved the day after the disastrous dish that Leecher put us through.

Then it was time for the main course!

We each ordered a main course to be shared amongst us, which consisted of baked ocean trout, lamb couscous, the original db burger and duck confit.

We even reserved a seat for Yaozu, but he still couldn't make it in the end.

After clearing our table, it's time for desserts!

Mostly chocolates and the guys nearly died from chocolate overdose, haha!

Oyster Bar @ Customs House

Taking a break from blogging about our wedding journey while we sort out all the pictures. Time for some friends time, in case you're getting bored from reading our wedding stuff, haha! The usual meet up with EK, Pris & Kenneth. Poor Yaozu was stuck in office till 9pm and he had to miss our gathering. The new hangout place, Customs House.

Customs House is fast becoming the new hangout place in CDB area. Having a vantage view of the Marina Bay area is a bonus for the F&B establishments!

Started the evening with drinks & finger food @ Oyster Bar

Leecher checking out where we'll be heading next on our whatsapp groupchat.

Chocolate martini with Orange Peel - strangely enough, finger licking good!

Leecher's mojito.

1st to arrive and have to wait for the rest to be here.

Wagyu Beef Toasts that cost a freaking $39 for just 8 pieces.

Sun setting & the rest of them finally arrived.

Finishing our drinks and time for dinner!

Wedding Bands Collection

Evelyn called us 3 days before we went for our photo-shoots to inform us that our wedding bands were ready for collection.

The bag that contained the box to our rings :) My heart was pounding so hard that I think everyone could hear it! I wondered how the rings would turn out to be?

Revealed! Our very own design! I love how "princey" & "princessy" our rings looked on the ring pillow :)

And our own logo design that played on our initials of S&H., with a heart in the middle - this was supposed to mean Sheng ♥ Hong. If you look at it closely, the alphabets looked like S4, which revealed the location where we met :) Nanyang Business School (NBS) was where we met and it's located at S4 (South Spine 4) in campus. For my ring, it was designed based on the concept of protection and embracement. - the middle proposal ring was a gift from Leecher and the outer 2 layers served to protect the ring (aka Leecher protecting me) and together, we embrace the future in union. For his ring, the middle part is sunken in, meaning that I'm always 他背后的女人, haha!

Now, for Leecher to untie the rings :)

We're really pleased with the design of our rings :)

There was an ancient belief that a very vital blood vessel ran from the ring finger on the left hand directly to the heart. It was, therefore, appropriate that a ring which symbolized true love should be worn on the ring finger. The vein was given the name "vena amori" meaning "the vein of love". Well, we have to wait for approx 1yr before we can wear the rings on the vein of love :)

A huge thanks to the lovely Evelyn!

Wedding Bands Design

Having decided on the ring designs, now we will have to exercise our creative juices to design our own logo to be embossed on the rings.

Deep in concentration. Evelyn also designed a few logos for us, using our initials "K&C". After several rounds of discussion, we decided to use the initials "S&H" instead and it has a meaning as well! So, with a new concept in mind, we sat down at our corners and exercise our brains!

The rough sketches that we came out with.

my dear designer, who made our concept come true :)

Wedding Bands Selection

Happy Boxing Day! Hope everyone had a wonderful Xmas yesterday! We attended our first wedding dinner as Mr & Mrs :) Anyway, back to our wedding journey, haha! What's a wedding without wedding bands? In the next few posts, I'll be documenting down our journey in choosing our wedding bands :)

We're (or rather me, haha) extremely particular about our wedding bands, as we'll be wearing a symbol of emotions and a life long commitment to each other. I wasn't really keen to buy off-the-rack wedding bands, as that meant we'll be wearing the same bands as xxx no of couples. So, the only way was customisation, for a pair of wedding bands that belongs to us only :)

Leecher (as always) entrusted me with the task of shortlisting shops so that we can go ring-shopping. From my intensive research online, I have already narrowed it down to one single shop that I wanna visit -

As usual, I don't like to start the day on an empty stomach as we will be on our legs, walking all over town - need all the energy that we have!

Not only did I see a design that I love, it fits like a glove :) And not to mention the superb service from Evelyn & Sandra, the 2 lovely ladies from the shop. We went to other shops, like Leehwa, SooKee, Love&Co - but nothing comes close to what Fairy Inc can offer. So, after a round of serious discussion with Leecher, we've decided on customising our wedding bands with Fairy Inc.

**************

Back @ Fairy Inc again to discuss on our wedding bands.

Evelyn, our designer brought out a lot of rings and designs for us to look. When doing customised rings, you can only imagine the outcome in your mind.

Leecher cant wait to get started!

The theme was "simple and classic". Leecher had a fun time deciding on his design and he wanted a piece of everything, super rojak. Evelyn was very patient with us and trying to sketch out the final design for Leecher to see. Somehow, Evelyn was able to sense what designs I prefer and she hit all the right notes when designing my ring. And, we decided to make our rings unique by designing our own embossing!

Merry Christmas

Taking a break from the busy work schedule to relax for Xmas!

Merry Xmas to all!
