Playing 1930s



This is a long overdued post. Sorry girls, I promised to let u 'kop' your pictures from blog but I happily went on a Holiday the following day, and my blog remained pictureless for two weeks.

Anyway this was another Free-Trade Asia event, probably a continuation of the previous. But instead of wearing a beach party, this was more of a victorian-themed cocktail party at Raffles Hotel.

I went there expecting to be bundled in corsets and plummey skirt becaause when I went for fitting, they said 'Victorian style'.

It turned out that most of our outfits were loosefitting, with lots of laces, feathers and beads.

My dress was a dramatic black & red beaded ensemble that hangs loosely at the hips. Although I was miles away from what I had expected, I thought it was still quite lovely. The lace headband had a big dark jewel which I was supposed to attach to the side of my head looked slightly ridiculous because it made me looked Chemotherapied. (roll eyes). But the only real pain was the long red glove that I was supposed to wear up to my elbows.



These are some of the photos we took before and after the event. I lumped some together because it was just too tedious to upload one by one.





All our dresses pales in comparison to Emiko's. She probably got the "richest husband" among us ladies. hurhurhur

When it all ended, ZY was already waiting at the end of the escalator. I love it when he comes to pick me up after work. He's so sweet. The sight of him brought back sparkles into my eyes and his warm embrace instantly eased my painful toes. He even bought me my favourite petite sandwiches from Meidi-ya because he knew I'd be starving. *BOX U baby...Love u!!*
Whether I'll be whining about the bitchiness I had to endure or I'll be telling him about some of my silly friends; all I actually mean is "There's no where I'd rather be than to be by you"
