We were both on leave on this day, a once in a life time experience for us. Early in the morning, we prepared the necessary stuff, such as long sleeve shirts, black color slack and shoes, water, clean our face and hairs, breakfast and etc. After everything were well prepared, we head towards our destination - Aspial Bridal House at Macalister Road.
We went 2 rounds around the place as there was no parking available. Then, we decided to stop in front of the Bridal House and personally went inside for advice on where to park our car. One of the photographer - Kenneth then help us to clear out a place in front of the Bridal House for us to park our car.
While we were waiting inside for our photographer - Eric, Kenneth help us to take a photo before the make-up and photography session. I believe this is for the before and after thingy. :P
When the make-up artist - Rachel helping my wife, I was invited to rest and watch movie - "Flight Plan". Nearly after an hour, it was my turn to make-up. I was nervous as this is the first time I had to make-up. When I look at my wife, I hardly recognized her as the eye brows, lips and hairdo were all different. Then, I knew why she looks different when it was my turn. My eyebrows were shaved, my face were covered with foundation, my hair being turned into gold color and spiky. Hahaha...really a new experience for myself.
When the indoor photo session start, this was where all the funs started. Eric, our photographer had been unsatisfied with our smiles throughout the whole photo session. However, I believe that when the photo is out, we will be the happiest couple in the world (With the smile we had tried to put on our face, :P). We had been put into 3 different pairs of wedding gowns and hairdo, plus different background setting and pose, it will be tough when we needs to choose 21 out of all those. After that, the evening gowns came into play. All these had took us around 4 hours to complete.
We had a short rest and lunch. Then, it was time for outdoor shooting. After changing into the dress, we hop into the Naza Ria and head towards shooting destination. We had been ask if we had any particular place to shoot but we were both blank and I believed Eric could decide better. So, I let him to decide the place for us.
First place we went to is an old building somewhere behind gurney drive. Second place is a road side somewhere around Tanjung Bungah. Lastly is beach side at Batu Ferringhi. We felt fresh as the first and second place, we don't even knew they exist. The last place, I didn't know it is accessible. :P
I'm really thankful as the weather is nice...
:)
Now, I'm feeling anxious to view the outcome of the photo. Can't wait for the photo selection on next Sunday. :)

Wedding gown try out
Today, is the day where we went to try out and choose the preferred wedding gown at Aspial.
When we reached the place, it is full packed. It seems like there are lots of couple getting married that day because we saw a few bridal car parked outside the shop compound.
It seems like a few couples are asking for price and a couple just came back from outing. We had been guided to sit aside and wait for our turns to try out the dress as all their staff were busy. After a while, an auntie came to brought us upstair to try out the dress. She is very professional and had give us lots of advise and even help us on choosing the gown to try out.
As she seems very professional and very experience, I had a little chat with her where I found out that she is in the business of altering clothes and fashion design for nearly 30 years! I felt so lucky that someone so professional is actually helping us. All the dress she help us to choose looks nice on my wife. It is tough to select 3 wedding gown and 2 evening gown from dozens of nice dress. Finally, we managed to choose and the whole process took us around 1 hour. It was a pretty fast process as I know from some of my friends that it took hours. Or maybe we are "chin chai" type of people. :P
After that, we went downstairs to have a cup of water and getting some instructions on what to wear and bring on the day of shooting from 1 of the staff. Then, we went back home and have dinners. :)

Friday morning - surprise...
After a day leave for Bridal House shopping, I'm back to my cubicle in the company. There are 2 surprises awaited, a new IP phone and a new Linux box. I'm really surprise and delighted to see these 2 stuff as they are useful for me. The phone will let me know who calling (next time might can have a headset for easier support jobs) and the linux box can ease my eyes (don't need to strain my eyes due to not enough colors on SUN Solaris machine) and give me more processing power which will definitely help to speed up my testing work and supporting work.
:)
Nothing to say, but happy.

Finally, we found the preferred bridal house
We has been undecided for almost 2 weeks. Then, we took a day leave from work on Thursday to get around the city for the bridal house hunt.
The night before, in order not to be disappointed and wasting our time, we went on the internet to search for some information and also view the sample photos by some bridal house (if there are any available). Finally, we shortlist 3 of the bridal house we wish to pay a visit before making any decision.
Early morning on Thursday (not really early though, around 10.50am), we start our hunt by went to the first destination - Shalom Bridal House. On the way, along Jalan Bagan Jermal, we passed our 3rd destination - Milan Bridal House and we decided not to visit it anymore as the photo on their web did not impress us.
As No. 33, Jalan Kelawei (address of Shalom) is an unknown to us, we went along the whole road starting from the Gurney roundabout. After a while, when we spot it, we felt so nervous yet excited. We turned in and parked inside their compound, walk in and there was no other customer around, only us! So, we were invited to sit down and viewing through the sample they passed to us. The sample photos are nice, very natural and very balanced color. The quality is high and we are satisfied with it.
After the photo viewing, they brought us up stair to have a look at their wedding gowns and evening gowns collection. And we a bit surprise that they had different class of gowns - VIP and super VIP. I felt like buying bus ticket. :P Basically the different is that the super VIP gowns are new and the VIP are not so new. I felt shock when they told me if I want super VIP gowns, I would need to add around RM600.00 per dress. Phew...this is lots of money.
After looking at the gowns, we went back downstair and talk about the package. The price is okay, not bad and the package is okay to us as well. After a short discussion, we decided to go to our second destination first before deciding - Aspial Bridal House.
So, we go towards Burma Road for Aspial. When we reached there, we found out that the shop was closed, so we go to Macalister Road branch. This place, looks grand and modern, with a plasma tv sit on the wall of reception area, gave me a bit of scared of the price they are going to quote me.
With the same procedure going on......view sample photos (where most of them are my colleagues), looking at their wedding gowns and evening gowns collection, then finally the package. As I thought, it is more expensive, but they had made their efforts by putting in lots of extra stuff inside the package. The best part of it was that they told us they don't have class for all their dress. So, we can choose anyone we like no matter is new or not. Well, as I told them that I knew some of their customers (my colleagues) and I was there because of my colleagues recommendation, after a while of bargaining and changing this and that (they are quite flexible), we decided to take up the package as everything is included. Eventhough it is RM400.00 more compare to Shalom package, we felt satisfied with it.
After a while of chit chatting about my colleagues and paid the deposit, we left the place in happy mood. We went to Prangin Mall for shopping (Wife want to search for a pair of shoe) after that...
