Our Families in Singapore
Having our Registration of Marriage in Singapore was the perfect excuse for our families to fly in and spend time with us. Several days of bouncing from one place to another was physically tiring, but we enjoyed every minute of it. It was nice taking everyone around for some food tripping and a whole lot shopping (from clothes, shoes and fancy accessories, to electronic gadgets, kitchen essentials and home theater seating).

Smith’s Rosebud Salve
I dropped by Sephora last week to pick up some goodies for my sister, when I finally grabbed a tin of Smith’s Rosebud Salve for myself.
Smith’s Rosebud Salve
I wasn’t really planning on buying anything, since we’re trying to budget our spending (no splurges on clothes, makeup and other random things like pulse oximeter for now) to be able to save up for our church wedding expenses next year. However, while I was paying for my sister’s goodies, I saw the tin of miracle salve calling out to me by the cashier. I knew I had to put aside the “saving mentality” for a few minutes and allowed myself to treat myself. :)
This world-famous salve is a multi-purpose miracle wonder! It can be used as a simple lip balm, or to help relieve several skin conditions/irritations such as itches, rashes, blemishes, and rough cuticles. I even use it to moisturize my dry hands when I’m out and about. The Rosebud Salve is something that I have been lemming for a while now, so I’m glad I gave in to buying it. It was a good choice on my part, because now I just can’t leave the house without it!

KL Getaway
Before JR and I had our ROM, we headed off to Kuala Lumpur for the Chinese New Year / Valentine’s weekend. We wanted some time to relax and unwind before officially and legally getting married, so we boarded the five hour bus ride and enjoyed three days of quality time together.

We Did It!
After six years and four months, we finally got married last February 17, 2010! :)
Well, it’s not the church wedding yet (that’s scheduled for the first part of 2011), but our Registration of Marriage in Singapore. Similar to a Civil Wedding, the whole ceremony was quite short and simple. However, the entire family (except for JR’s younger brother) flew in, so it turned out to be quite a nice celebration nevertheless.
My sister did my makeup:

I sat in front of our bedroom window and placed a portable mirror so I could see the makeup application progress. =P
