Do you remember that I mentioned about the pre-wedding photo shoot in one of my earliest post?
Now that I am starting to prepare for the trip, I will also included my itinerary for the trip (but maybe later .. god know when).
TAIWAN.
A place most familiar to me. Spent all my childhood vacations there. A little bit of selfie - My mum was born and bred in Taiwan, thus part of my family are still there. My granny and uncle (foster family) passed on some years back. So, other than to have gathering and dinner with the other family members, the most important activity on my itinerary is to pay my respects to granny and uncle.
So that's, dinner with many different groups of people, photo shoot, and visit the graves.
And since the fiance is crazy about herbal jelly (ไป่) now, I found a little shop in TaiChung where they make herbal jelly from scratch and sells limited portion everyday.
Of course there are some must-do stuff in Taiwan, like hot-springs, eat shaved ice in XiMenDing and the list goes on. Seems to me like 90% of the list is about eating; eating with family, mum's friends, eateries, night market...
Right now, about three and a half months to the trip, I have yet to purchase the air tickets and to book the hotel; all I can think of is to buy my all time favorite winter wear.
I've also confirm the dinner location.
That's all for now.
November updates:
Air Tickets - CHECKED
Taipei Accomodation - CHECKED
Le Meridien Hotel Dinner - CHECKED

Certainly, it has been a while.
Of course there's updates.
Gown - CHECKED.
Damage: $600
The first and only shop I've been to and it's set.
Maybe I'm missing the bride genes, I actually don't feel as excited while trying the dresses exceot that it was pretty warm from all the moving around. But thanks to all the help from my "childhood friend" - Stephenie and The Gown Warehouse owner - Anabelle, I finally found The Dress, after trying like a dozen of them. And on the first look, it looked so fluffy I was afraid I'ld look like a cupcake.
Wanted to rent, but final decision is to made-to-measure.
We are so glad that another item on the list can be strike off.

shine.bright.like.a.diamond
I bought this set of stones some time ago, been searching for a goldsmith to set them.
Then my mum told me about this old friend of hers, who owns a decent little shop in Lucky Plaza. This uncle Hung, used to "alter" some of my mama's jewelries. He did the extension of a diamond/gold bracelet that the future MIL will be giving me on the wedding. So now, my stones are with him to set into a pair of earrings. Happy much.
He's been in this trade for more than 30 years and is very reliable. I'm so lucky he charges me super cheap rates.
If anyone is reading this and would like to have his shop location and contact number, do post your email on the comments, and I'll get back to you with the details.
P.S. I'll update the "after" one month later when I pick them up.
