Dresses for the wedding

Finally get to do the alteration for the bride maid’s gown. Opps! I guess I never mention about this anywhere in in blog entry? Well! My sis is getting married this dec! And since things are more or less finalized, let’s just say, she has come to the near completion of this “big project” very soon.

The bus ride was pretty much a headache because of this group of students talking and talking and talking nonstop throughout the whole journey about hair style. “Which hair style should I cut?”

You know? Those kind of girly conversations with pinches of giggles and boring jokes which are not funny at all but to them it’s hilarious.

Then I boarded the train, took out my book and started reading, with my back facing the crowd. Smell of stale urine and smelly feet tainted my nostril hair and I was struggling to read, breath, and avoiding smelling.

Strangers look and stare then looked away when you met their eyes then stare and look again when you look away. This is a common sight when you take the train and “trapped” in the cabin until you reached your destination.

The ride seems to take forever. But of cos its much faster than taking cabs which usually are caught in the jam during the peak hours.

By the time I reached Raffles Hall, it is already 7:15pm. I made my way to Blum at UOB centre straight away, and got my alterations done. Blum always has been well known to me, for their hardcore praises and pushy sales gimmicks. But the Blum here has a way for its customer. They won’t force you to buy, but they get you clothes to try. “Just try”. And that’s when many of the girls wore the dresses, came out from the dressing room, and praises were heard and so they started swapping their cards.

After trying the bride’s maid dress which sis has already paid for for the 5 of us, we stayed there for a while looking for my dinner dress, while sis shopped for some work clothings.

It caught my eyes when I saw this familiar cut. Then I recall seeing this BCBG dress at Hong Kong but the color was in black and white. This one at Blum comes with a swirl of white, pearl and mixture of beige brown, and according to the Sales Manager (which I suppose he is) this dress came only in the afternoon, and I happen to be the 1st person who tried it on. Well, I can’t deny the fact that I do get my feet swept off the ground and after much thought, taking into consideration that time is drawing nearer and after talking to sis, we finally decide to get that dress.

Now that the bride’s maids dresses are confirm, and I just ordered the catering from Chili Padi, sis still have get her house reno to be done, invitation cards to send out, RSVPS to be collated, cakes to be delivered, stuff to be shifted, some little more decisions to be made here and there, I guess, most imptly, be ready to be a radiant bride!
