Finally, the weekend is coming but i bet the weekend will be short again as i have many things to do. (need to OT, cos the stupid customer dont want to extend the dateline for the submission.)
Not able to laze around at home during weekend.. Poor me..sob...sob...Still i am looking forward for the weekend as i will be going for a workshop on valvet flower making.
You may wonder why am i learning so many things, first is the chocolate molding, now is the valvet flower making. In fact, nothing in particular, i just want to know more things, who know i can even do business out of it. LOL.
Besides these two workshops, i have register for another 3 workshops which is coming in march but i am keeping as a suspense to it. So to know more, do come to my blogspot often to see my updates.

Talk of the Day
During lunch time today, i am sharing my experience on choosing a Bridal studio(BS) in JB and the inclusive of the package with my colleagues as one of them is also getting married soon.
I have a good experience with my BS and i will recommend it to my friends who want to get married soon. Even if i recommend, it also depends on your liking. So brides to be, dont blame me if you dont like it as different people, different taste. Still i believe that my BS is good as it is also recommended by brides from the Singapore Brides forum. This is where i get to know about the BS.
I had my hardcopy non edited photo samples returned to me (400plus pcs in total of 8 sheets of photo paper. I didnt realised i took so many photos) when i went to choose photos out of the lot to put in wedding album. Do take note that normally the non edited samples are not return unless you add photos or you pay for it.
My package consists of 38 photos and i had added another 33 photos at a special price. I believed i am able to get special deal cos my brother is also taking his wedding photos in the same shop.
Right now, i am waiting for my designing and editing of the album to be ready for viewing. Probably after Chinese New Year. I cant wait to see the final product.
So people, don't take my package as a guide. Actually, most bridal packages has the same basic inclusion, it depends how you bargain for more items for your own package. At the same time, it is also depends what kind of photography styles you like and how much you are willingly to spend.
Basic package are as follows: (in Yr 2006, base on my memory)
21 pose with 10 page of album (2 sided), 1 or 2 table top depending on the size. ( I got 2 of the 12" x 15" table top, really lucky)
6 to 7 gowns in total for photoshoot(for both indoor n outdoor shoots) Within these, you may choose traditional costumes. In any combination, total 7 styling.
a piece of "chuang tou zhao" of i tink 20" x 40" or 36' x 15" sumtin like dat lah.
a album of the photos chosen in 6R ( no designing made to it, just normal full page)
100 pcs of 4R photos
Return of softcopy of those chosen photos
So people, when choosing for BS, do remember to bargain for better benefits as you want your money well spent. Still, you must look for BS that suit your needs and wants and not choose a BS that is cheap but in the end you dont like it at all. I have a friend who took photoshoot twice in two different studios in Singapore as the first time, the photos doesnt out what she wants
Brides to be, if you happen to read my blog and want to have the address/contact of the bridal studio, do drop me your email address on the 'comment' area and i can email the details to you.
I will definitely recommend my BS, SG Bridal House in JB as it is very customer oriented and i really feel at home. This is what i like about this studio.

Absent Minded
I reached office kind of early today as my "driver" needs to go to work early. Shortly after i arrived office.. i realised that i forgotten to bring my office document.. Hai, why am i so absent minded..
As i need the document, i have to go home and take it. Hai.. While waiting at the bus stop, my company lorry pass by the bus stop so i hop on to reach my destination. Luckily, the lorry passby, if not i dont know how long must i wait for the bus since it is off peak and it is in industrial area
On my way back to office, i waited quite long for my bus back to office. It was so long that i almost fall asleep while waiting. Finally, the bus came and journey back office is a breeze. Thank God.
I just hope i wont be absent-minded again.

Weekend Is Over....
Why is the weekend so short. I seems not able to have enough rest over the weekend. I went for my chocolate molding class on Sunday. It is not as difficult as i thought, but you need to be patient while doing it.
First thing to do is to melt the chocolate. Chocolate use is compound chocolate or what the US people know it as Candy melt. Melting process can be very fast or slow depending of the equipment you use for melting. 1 minute if using a microwave and 30 minutes if using double boil method.
In the class, microwave is used so melting process is really quick. Other equipments required are moulds(Can use those jelly mould type or the orginal chocolate mould where they are available in some supermarkets or specialised shop like B-I-Y (www.b-i-y.com) and brushes.(Those fine brushes used for painting, which is available in bookshops)
B-I-Y also sells candy melt but it is kind of expensive. if you want to have cheaper one, can get at a shop call Phong Huat but it is extremely sweet as we use this type of chocolates during the class.
Once all the melts are ready, depending what is the design you have on your moulds and you can act accordingly. Your fine brushes will come in if the design on the mould is very delicated but if the design is of simple shape like heart shape, you can just pour in the melt into the moulds.
After pouring in, just place it in the freezer to get it harden. 5 to 10 mins will be good enough. If more complicated design or chocolate boxes are made, more time is required for the chocolate to set and harden.
On the whole, it is a good experience as there are many many moulds to try out. If doing it yourself at home, you wont buy so many moulds so it is fun to try so many designs
