Funky Find: Pitu Again

I did a previous post on Pitu before...haha cos the app is fun. But I deleted it soon after because I thought that's all the app could do. Recently, I realised it could do much more so I downloaded the app again.

This app is rather intuitive. All you have to do is take a fringeless photo of yourself (now it seems to have beautify effect). Would suggest to smile, but you might want to smile without showing your teeth if you want period photo.

You can re-take a few with unlimited tries, so you can try out with different types of smiles hehe. Then, you just need to apply the different filters. I noticed that most of the filters are free but that are a selected few which need $$. But I guess you don't have to pick those right...haha.

Now, apart from period looks, you can try out palace looks - of various ranks. You can even have modernised looks as well. But I didn't upload mine in this collage. Also, you can kidify yourself. I tried it out with the BF and wow he looks surprisingly pretty as a girl :)

Guess our daughter will be a beauty. Do try out this app yourself. It is lame af, but you know what, it is fun too. Hehe. And if you follow chinese dramas, this app may reasonate more with you. I don't really watch dramas but I had a good laugh anyway. Am keeping this app this time round cos it has other editing functions such as poster and collage :D

One shoe Many looks

For all brides out there, I think this may be a helpful post. So I had this struggle on how many pairs of footwear do I need? This is a real struggle because you needed every heels/ flats to match with every dress change. And yet, you don't really want to buy that may pairs of heels you may never wear.

My friends told me get a plain beige/ white one to match everything. And so I did, even though I didn't really like plain stuff. But I found something in my house which could vamp up the different looks. (Note: if you have a kua, white/beige heels won't match, it is not as simple as that.)

So, I had this set of beautiful clip-ons in my house (more than 4 in fact). You can essentially mix and match and create different looks. I did that for our pre-wedding shoot and impressed our vendor with my travel-light yet many shoes antics. HAHAHA. The red clips also matched really well with my Kua.

Because I am only buying one pair of shoes, I could buy a better pair of leather shoes. The clip-ons are snug enough to stay on the shoes yet not leave unsightly marks on my shoes. It is quite easy and intuitive to clip on. Best of all, it doesn't take that much time and become a hindrance to our schedule.

Now, I don't have to fret about which shoes I should buy but which design I should clip-on and...I can change my mind/clip anytime. :D These clip-on work best for plain shoes. If you are struggling between sparklies and plains, I think plains which are functional for work can look nice too with clip-ons.

One thing for sure, I think it definitely not very sensible to invest too many pairs of shoes (especially if they are way over the top) and you know you would never wear after, maybe except for special occasions. Cos we all know, how much special occasion do you have anyway! But, I got these clip-ons overseas but I think they should be able to be found in Singapore too. These are staples right!

Gatecrash Ideas

I finally squeezed out some time to work on my wedding planning again. Gah, all this planning is killing me. I am just so tired, mainly because my parents are making me clean up and pack the entire house. I still have (in my opinion) probably 3 weekends of stash to go through and I am not even home for 3 out of the 5 remaining weekends. Argh.

So, I finally got down to thinking what I want for the Gatecrash. Just for those who don't know, for Chinese weddings, there will be this segment where the groom and his guy buddies will go through several "fun" challenges set by the bridemaids to win the bride. :) You can't win without a fight right :P

I wanted the games to be more meaningful than humiliating, so I was pretty pleased when I found this online. My friends complained that overall my games are too easy. But, hey too hard, later he backed out how?!? LOL. Kidding, I just think that the whole purpose is to have some good memories to remember.

So I shared with my parents this and they were pretty excited for it. The thing is my parents love taking photos. The BF less so. They rarely have any planned shots together, and hence my parents were very pleased with the idea of having this exclusive shot with their "new son".

To up the challenge, I thought it would be cool to do some yoga poses. My parents are so supportive they have even started doing stretches everyday~ MUHAHAHA.

Another challenge which my friends insisted to do was the Suan Tian Ku La Challenge as it represents all flavours in life. Personally, I am not quite a fan of this cos this challenge upsets the stomach and is too mainstream, but the BFFs insisted that this is meaningful, plus I guess the girls needa have their fun.

Speaking of fun, this is what I call true pure joy, bringing the boys back to their childhood or the childhood they wished they had. The BF can vent out some anger and negative energy before the wedding. And I hope the photographer can get a nice explosive shot of the bursting of the piñata. Gorgeous!

If any of you are looking for a piñata either for your wedding or a birthday party, please check out Oh Piñata. Ours come with a string pull so in case the boys can't hit it in time. Haha. Oh Piñata can also customised other designs. She did suggest the heart, but I thought it wasn't too auspicious to break hearts on a wedding day...One things I know for sure I will be definitely be breaking the hearts of some single men. :P

Cos time is kinda of a rush, the BF will prolly have an extreme make-over in one of the challenge. Just in case, you think he is going to end up looking clownish, it is quite the opposite. It is to transform him to look presentable for the wedding. LOL...Well, he doesn't exactly enjoy getting his brows trimmed. Guess this may be quite a spiteful experience for him *Thumbs up for me*

And last but not least, I think I will make him create an art for me. He has always been showering me with material goods so something handmade should be cute and worth treasuring. Not sure how interesting his so called "10 commandments" will be. That's all the brilliance I have conjured out for my own gatecrash...you can steal a game or 2 cos I am a nice bride *winks*
