Once we got to know the day of my surgery, my parents began drawing up a duty roster for every member in the family to take up shifts in taking care of me for weeks after my surgery. Simba was added into the weekend shift without his consent which made it seem like he was compelled into not having his own programmes for at least 4 weeks after my surgery.
Won't be able to meet u guys for sometime until I have fully recovered. :D But I will attend the 2 weddings scheduled in November, 2-3 weeks after my surgery.
How we celebrated his birthday.
I took a day off for his birthday but had to return to work for awhile in the morning, go for my appointment with the surgeon and pick up something I bought online. So by the time I was done, it was almost 2pm in the noon. To save time, we took a cab to our first stop, the wedding dress exhibition in National Museum of Singapore.
Spotted a newly wed couple take wedding shots outside the museum:
If only the photographer wasn't in the picture, it would be much more romantic. :D
There is a discount for students but I denied being a student when the ticketing counter staff asked. I was so afraid that I got exposed somehow, and if so I would feel so embarrassed and dumbfounded.
Found a poster outside the exhibition area. :D
On display were the photo shoots donated by couples who had their wedding based on themes like "Under the arch" where they had their photo shoots below the arch of churches, or "Stairway to love" where they posed near an elegant staircase.
Couples who chose the church, mosque or temple as their photoshoot background.
The spiral staircase in the National Museum. :D
Love the photo on the bottom right.
The exhibition puts displays of wedding dresses in chronological order.
The first few dresses we saw were found in the 18th century. Don't you think that they have been so well maintained even after so long?
The dress with prints was tailored for poorer people who can't afford silk. These people sewed together cloth they bought from the street shops. Quite cute and comfy to me actually. :D
Floral headdress worn in weddings.
They are so much like the recent in-fashion hairband decorated with flowers and of course so pretty!
Wedding boots. Reminds us of the victorian age doesn't it?
Look at the lacy details of this dress.
I start to think that perhaps the fashion nowsadays has something to do with going back to the past and then creatively amending the old fashioned into a fresh, new style.
Sincerely reading through each information board and admiring the exhibits. :D
The ancient wedding garter. A garter is a narrow band of fabric used to keep up stockings.
Wedding hats garnished with flowers. Simple yet tasteful.
Love these gloves.
I might buy something similar to this pair (not in white of course) if I intend to visit countries during winter.
Went wowed over this pair of shoes. They are so pretty, aren't they?
The colour, the ribbons, the floral pattern and how the straps crossed over and formed an interaction between the ribbons were all of my liking!
The bubble wedding dress. Something that I will look out for in a wedding dress but of course my preference is still a white one.
Then they move on to a more modern era where wedding dresses are more casual and where short is the new long.
Lace headdress! Anything with lace is my favourite! (Simba would comment that everything I like resembles table cloth or granny's dress.)
Another pair of wedding boots I really love, where emphasis is on the oversized ribbons, bringing out the cuteness of such shoes.
Caught him sleeping while watching the wedding videos.
One Singaporean lady got married in this unique gown. Nowsadays gowns are more revealing and shorter but this is long-sleeved but the modern touch to it would be the short and tight fitting gown confined by the sheer maxi fish-tail dress.
Balloons really beautify and brighten up the whole atmosphere, aside from all the excitement and happinesses seen from the smiles of friends and relatives of this couple.
Proudly standing in front of our National Museum of Singapore.
He climbed up the statue outside the museum despite my efforts of warning him against it.
He is such a monkey. I remembered how he swung from bar to bar in the playground, and how he climbed up a tree at the fastest speed.
Lol.
