AndroidsinBoots & Naumi Hotel



AndroidsinBoots Wedding. ~6,500 likes on Facebook and rated 4.5/5 by 63 satisfied customers.
It was the photography studio handpicked for our ROM wedding as its works are phenomenal!
Unlike Mojoideas, my most preferred studio which did not rely on its outward appearance to make its mark, the splendour of AndroidsinBoots made my day the moment I entered. The photographer is an art of his own; he is one of those students I saw in School of Art, Design & Media during my NTU days! The bold dress sense & that scarily perfect English. U know what I mean! And he's one handsome young man. Lol.

And am I so right! The photographer & videographer are from NUS & NTU Arts School respectively (I'm definitely not a stalker, I just need to do a background check on the people I will hire for my big day.)

Like Mojoideas, the photographer & videographer are brothers who own the business together! :D 

Impressed by the the wedding videos the photographer played for us on their studio's big screen, and wants to engage them on the spot. Their style incorporates vintage, sentimental and some form of nostalgia, and their works reminded us of the films I watched just to scrape through my Arts & Humanities modules.

Simba prefers AndroidsinBoots over Mojoideas but for me it's the other way around! But it's okay cos we will be engaging both and I have absolute faith in both photographers/videographers that they will do an exceptional job! I'm over the moon that as packed as their schedule is, they happen to be available to document our big day. I'm counting my blessings.. :D And thank god I have picked up an innate OCD-like behaviour from Simba about 5 years ago, so I plan ahead of time now.

And click here to view one of their many marvellous works. :D

Of course, not all is perfect. I was contemplating on whether to engage them at first as the photographer who met us was a bit awkward with us, and was afraid that these awkwardness may extend to my wedding day. However, Simba spoke up for him and said that not everyone is a conversationalist, even for people who run their own business and 1 out of 3 of us is an introvert. So okie lo... Let's just give him a shot. :)


Moving on...
Cloud 9 Pool & Bar @ Naumi Hotel is the venue chosen to hold our solemnization. :) :)

We went down to the sky bar and were very pleased with the service and most of all, the view.
Few pictures we took using his iPhone 5. 






If you plan to have an event in the hotel, they provide you with complimentary beer of your choice from the bar.










I regretted not bringing my digital camera along that day, as iPhone 5's camera doesn't do justice to the beauty of the backdrop seen from the bar. 
See you guys there on 7th Sept at 6pm! :D





And we bought a resistance trainer from Mustafa Centre, after I've seen it in some of Running Man's games. Here is Mr Showy with all his ostentatious poses.















Stationary Bike in my room; Mr Showy bought gym and physiotherapy nearer to me. :D

Lexie, our rescued dog.



I was featured in a Pet Taxi's Facebook page after I took Lexie, our rescued dog to the vet using its service.
Lexie looked so funny and still cos she gets carsick too, just like me! She freaks out completely whenever a car door is open; I had to calm her down before carrying her (I'm strong, she is 10.1kg!) into the car. 


We have found Lexie a new fosterer and we hope that someday this nice family can adopt her. :D
If you know of anyone who wishes to adopt her, let me know ok?

Breed: Mongrel
Gender: Female
Age: 4 months old
Personality: Friendly and likes attention
Rescued from: Sungei Kadut
Paper trained and listen to commands.

Don't mind my messy hair. Lol. Simba and I had been walking this hyperactive dog for 2 hours before we finally can get a cab! Simba had to run with her at times to keep up.
:D

Engineer


Awesome news to share:

Simba's request for transfer to the engineering department has been granted! :D
He will be officially an Project Management Engineer by Apr this year.
:)

Okie tell u something that I became stupidly worried (apparently now I know it's over nothing) when he broke the news to me. 
Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled.. Until I came to the realization that Engineers work with a higher health hazard risk than some of us. 

A friend of mine who used to work as an Engineer at DSTA gave me the feeling that the position takes you into experiencing cool stuff since she gets to leave her foot prints on top of physical airplanes! 
But then again it's so dangerous walking on a plane!
This led to me thinking that simba is gonna learn how to do checks on planes and some military vehicles. 

I went on to think about the accidents that have occurred on Engineers for the past ten years, and one of the most recent was the one on the navy ship; the Engineer lost both his arms and legs on one typical day of doing his routine checks.

Of course I'm not going to stop him from pursuing something he might enjoy but I would always want to give my 20 cents worth (although he already knew these common sense stuff).
"On site... U need to be especially careful and not be your usual blur self. Be alert at all times ok?"
"U know, sometimes when u wish for something and one day when u finally lay your hands on it, u start to find that maybe that something isn't so great afterall." (Cos Simba didn't study aerospace engineering, so it might be tough u see!)

In the end, after a million years, he told me that he's not gonna be engineer engineer. Instead his position is more to management. 



It's no wonder I don't perform at work; I spent time worrying about things that don't exist. Lol!
