Life between trips

This is a trip of many first time experiences; attending an overseas wedding, staying at a private beach club and snorkeling.  Island Hopping -Nalusuan Island This trip is fun and schedule is really packed. We only had 3 days and we had a wedding to attend on the 2nd day. I initially wanted to do some city hopping to have a quick glimpse of the city but this will have to wait another time.

I chanced upon another wedding while vacationing at Bohol Beach Club. The ambiance as well as the sweet decorations reminds me of the beach wedding i had wished i had. The splendid sea views makes this place a perfection location for saying your vows by the sea, stars and moon. Bohol Beach Club A spacious reception area for guests to mingle before the wedding. Reception Stage to say your vows The red carpet and guest sitting The wedding in process As this is just a private wedding affair, this is as much pictures i could take without intruding. The hut that you can see in the last picture "the wedding in process" is an indoor area with seatings for the guests and where dinner is served. There's plenty of room for dancing after the dinner. From what i can judge, everyone clearly enjoyed the wedding. What's more at the end of the party, the guests are also treated with a grand fireworks display. So much for ending the night with a BAN...

weddings I recently attended a wedding in Cebu -a church wedding followed by a wedding banquet. I was curious to find that the wedding has plenty of similarities to our Singapore style Chinese wedding in particular the banquet and its sequence. However, my evaluation is probably biased as i understand the bride is of Chinese descent. weddings The Cebu wedding surpasses my expectations on several counts, an impressive travel themed decor. It was even more luxurious than our local Singapore hotel's set up. Good range of food served like crabs, fishes ( yes, you read it correct fishes, not one fish), noodles, pork knuckle and the best mantou i ever eaten. The photo booth set up is also much more professional like a corporate set up with a fixed camera station. Live music and singer also entertained us throughout the dinner. travel theme, wedding live music that adds the oomph factor Some of the differences observed are drinks (different types of soft...

I just can't get this song out of my mind. Fell in love with it during Moulin Rouge movie ions ago. Ellie's voice is the perfect to peform this song.

I'm recently very into songs sung by Ellie Goulding, mainly because of her voice way before her song "Love me like you do" keep playing on radio. If you're wondering what is "love me like you do", its one of the theme songs in 50 shades of Grey movie. Her voice is hauntingly melodious but SO thinks her voice is gruff. Nevertheless, i like the texture and feel. This is especially true for the way she sings this song (How long will i love you) making this song the perfect candidate to sing or to play during weddings. There is a short video on this song titled "Tom and Issy". If you're interested, you can see more of the story below.   Buy this album from AMAZON Halcyon Days [2 CD]

To do: Random City Tour Tod ay is free and easy city tour taking the Free City Circle Tram Route 35 serviced by heritage W class trams decorated in special maroon and green with yellow and gold trimmings.. An audio commentary provides details of city landmarks and major attractions such as the City Museum, Parliament House, Docklands, Federation Square, Melbourne Aquarium and the Princess Theatre. Our first stop for the day is the Queen Victoria Market, highly recommended by his friend who used to study in Melbourne. I don't know why. Since we have no inkling what else to do we decided to give this place a try. I love the seafood sold there i.e the abalone, scallops etc so cheap and fresh. They even sell beef tongue here! and boy its was huge! City tour Due to time constraints we can only visit one more place of interest and we decided to look around the library and its packed with students studying. Apparently seat hogging is pretty common here as well (i.e stu...

To do: Great Ocean Road Great Ocean Road We arrived right on dot at the pick up point at Federation Square East and within minutes a long line started to form behind us. I nearly forgotten we haven't yet paid and immediately went to the empty cashier counter while SO queued in line for the seats. Soon after, the cashier queue is also jammed up. Great Ocean Road Phew! We are lucky to get a window seat on the left at upper deck. Remember to take the window seat on the left as this is where you can see the ocean views. Great Ocean Road The ocean road coastal views is as good as i remembered. Some of the places we stopped are the Twelve Apostles,Gibson Steps, Loch Ard Gorge, Island Arch and Razorback. The timing stops at Gibson, Loch Ard Gorge, Island Arch and Razorback is tight and requires very brisk walking but i love the excercise after a long bus ride. Great Ocean Road Great Ocean Road I don't remember the Gibson s...
