Wedding Bands

By
I been looking around for bands for quite some time now. For the moment, most of my window shopping involved going into jewellery shops.

I will categorise them as follows:
- designer brands
- local brands
- customised

Designer Brands

They generally refer to big international brand names. The following are those that i can name off the cuff
- Cartier
- Blvagri
- Georg Jensen
- Tiffany & Co

Local Brands

Local brands refers to our local well known jewellery boutiques.
- Lee Hwa
- Gold heart
- Aspial
- Poh Heng
- Tian Po
- Soo Kee

Customised

For these shops, they are definitely pricier as you will be customising your own and you'll owe a ring that is the only pair in the entire universe.
- Josi Gems
- Ling fine jewellery
- Fairy's Inc

I don't think that i will customise my wedding bands. From experience, the sales tactic they will apply here is that wedding bands are to be worn for life rather than all your other wedding expenses that are only for the moment so its worth it to spend a bit on your bands. Still i'm mindful of spending too much on my wedding afterall "A wedding is only one day but marriage is a liftime."

But of course, a customised pair is definitely one of kind. Though some self designed wedding bands are not aesthetically pleasing.

Sadly, despite my numerous trips to the numerous jewellery shops mainly from local brands there only 1 or 2 pairs that i like. I wouldn't insist on buying platinum. As i've found out it also prone to scratches and it is so much more expensive than gold. (though as it is gold is getting more and more expensive)

Here's some of my favourites:
This is from Soo Kee.

Ladies: S$1,039, Male: S$799

Unfortunately, the price has increased by S$140 due to its popularity. I so upset about it. As i think its one of the nicest and also very affordable pair. The moral of the story is if the price is right and you like what you wish to buy just do it!

Intimo rose gold ring from Gold heart

Ladies: S$968, Male: S$888

Lvc purete from Love & Co

Ladies: S$838

New York from Soo Kee

Ladies: S$1,289, Male: S$939


This is a very cute ring for the bride from Ling's Jewellery. Out of jest, my beau suggested to make mickey and minnie mouse wedding bands. *roll eyes*

Ladies: Approx S$1,200

I will love to own this unique piece. There is also crown look-a-like rings that i think is nice for a wedding band but first you have to convince your partner to wear it.

For now, i hope i can find another pair of rings that i love and still within S$1,500.

The prices indicated here are correct to the best of my knowledge today.

Tip: Purchases during sales periods are always the best for the best deal. Limited offer items (old inventory) may also have special discounts up to 50% of list price.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

By
I wanted to get weeks about it  I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function.  I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp.  Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven.  Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

By
I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went).  I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the  Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

By
I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically.  By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
