Wearing a beautiful wedding gown is like a fairytale dream come true and every girl has dreamt about her ideal wedding gown that will make her sparkle and glow with happiness from a young tender age. The "dress" that is of great significance is one that has been contemplated for many months, years and it is the result of tonnes of research to select the "perfect dress". Flipping countless bridal magazines, reading up on wedding websites, scanning Facebook to look at what your friends' wedding are like, speaking to wedding boutiques and professionals, discussing the various elements with friends, family, relatives etc. It is always about the details as even the smallest of details matters. Every bride wants to leave a lasting impression for her groom as well as for everyone else who is looking. Every bride deserves to look the most beautiful in her wedding gown so it is of extreme importance to select a wedding gown that is made with fine craftsmanship, exudes sophistication, luxury and refinement.

Lora and Beautiful Love Wedding - I was delighted to work with Beautiful Love Wedding as they are a very professional bridal boutique in Singapore that not only carries the most elegant, beautiful and exquisite wedding gowns, they are extremely passionate about the work they do. I had the opportunity to take a look at all the designs of their newest collection of Wedding Gowns, discuss my personal preference and finally decide on which gowns I would like to wear for my pre-wedding photo shoot. I selected a total of 3 wedding gowns which included the "Princess" gown, the "Grace" gown under the Grandeur Collection and the "Tangerine" gown under the Colours Collection. White has always been my favorite color so it should not come as a surprise that I chose 2 white gowns out of the 3. Do not forget my nickname was "WhiteGaL" when I used to play Counterstrike many years back in various competitions. Click on each image to enlarge photos :)


THE "PRINCESS" GOWN

The "Princess" gown - I love this "Princess" gown as together with the sweetheart neckline, the off-shoulders design exudes beauty and elegance. The long trail that falls behind creates a soft exuberance almost like a "cloud" effect that is soft, flowy and dreamy. This "Princess" gown is absolutely gorgeous with its classy and sophisticated silhouette, I felt almost like a real demure princess while moving daintily in it. Walking down the hallway in a majestic and graceful manner, it was definitely a sight to behold! This "Princess" gown is made with beautiful delicate fabric, chantilly lace and a fine masterpiece that makes every bride feel like a royalty! An immaculate creation that is made from refined craftsmanship, the "perfect" dress for a discerning bride who wants to look ravishingly beautiful.

Bentley Owners Club Singapore - Chinese New Year Gala Dinner 2015 at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante


Bentley Owners Club Singapore
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bentleyownersclubsingapore
MEMBERSHIP FEES: SGD$350 a year 

You will be invited to all Bentley Owners Club Singapore's Events
If you are a Bentley car owner, we welcome you to join the club today!

(Event hosts - Sara Shantelle Lim and Bentley Owners Club's Social & Membership Director Kelly Keak)

Bentley Owners Club Singapore - CNY Gala Dinner 2015 @ Alkaff Mansion Ristorante - It was a great honour and privilege for me to be invited to host the very first Bentley Owners Club Singapore event together with Kelly. Held at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante, the Chinese New Year Gala Dinner 2015 was a huge success with more than 30 Bentley owners who turned up at this event with their loved ones and families. The amount of fun, joy and laughter we had created a memorable CNY celebration dinner to be remembered for life! Such beautiful memories and moments shared...







Vice President of Bentley Owners Club Singapore - Datin Elaine Teh

Prestige Magazine crowned Datin Elaine Teh as the new "Queen In Town". It is our true honor and pleasure to have our opening address by Datin Elaine Teh, who is 
the current Vice President of Bentley Owners Club Singapore.


Interesting CNY Games - Besides enjoying a sumptuous dinner prepared by the chefs, we also played several interesting games! One of the games got all of us excited in brainstorming all the Chinese Best Wishes we know as we had to compete against one another in coming up with the most number of 4 Chinese Words of Best Wishes such as "万事如意", ".恭喜发财", "大吉大利", "鸿运当头", " 招财进宝" and "生意兴隆" etc. I wished I brushed up my Mandarin Chinese before attending this event :X Another game we played was entirely based on our creativity and art skills as we had to quickly peel many mandarin oranges and place them strategically to form Chinese Best Wishes. I secretly wished I had a Chinese dictionary on my hands…


Lohei Yusheng - Eating Yu Sheng during Chinese New Year is a traditional and cultural activity among Chinese in Singapore and also my favourite dish. It is a dish where everyone gathers closely together, recites all the Chinese best wishes as each ingredient is carefully added and later toss the ingredients high up in the air and saying auspicious wishes out loud. It is believed that the higher you toss the ingredients, the better the growth of one's fortune and therefore, everyone enjoys this dish tremendously and toss enthusiastically.



BALLOONS WITH BEST WISHES - The special highlight of the night was for all of us to write our dreams and wishes, attach them to the helium balloons and release the balloons into the romantic night skies. It was such a breath-taking sight as the balloons helped illuminated the night skies! All of us were in high spirits as it was such a warm, happy occasion filled with lots of fun and laughter.



LUCKY DRAW - There was also a special lucky draw where winners won amazing prizes!

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE - I was delighted to visit The Body Firm for the very first time to try out their treatments. Upon entering the boutique, I was greeting by their warm and friendly staff. I told them that I wish to achieve a slimmer body shape as I was slightly flabby in my upper arms and thighs. I also informed them that I have low pain tolerance and was reassured that the treatments are pain-free and only last for a short period of time. They continued explaining to me the entire process and benefits in a precise manner before we proceeded to the treatment room.


I was allowed to change out of my dress into a more comfortable clothes wrap.



The Body Firm System

What is it?

The Body Firm system was developed by a British scientist, one of the co-inventors of the pacemaker, and uses a similar type of neuro-stimulation, except that it’s applied to the body muscles.

How many areas can be treated in one session?

You can choose 4 areas to be treated in one session. The most popular areas are the stomach, abs, waist, thighs and buttocks. But you can also select to shape up the arms or upper and lower back. Our experts will advise you to treat the same areas throughout the program in order to maximise the overall result.

How many treatments do I need?

It all depends on the results that you’d like to achieve.  You can start with either 12 or 18 sessions. We advise that you repeat the treatment 2-3 times a week for maximum results.

How long is each treatment?

The actual treatment lasts between 20-25 minutes and one entire session is about 35 minutes.

How does it feel?

It feels ticklish in the beginning. Then the body tunes into the muscle contraction and you feel as if you’re exercising, weight lifting or doing sit ups… except that you’re not; the machine is doing it for you.

What kind of results can I expect?

For clients with a lot of body fat you can expect at least 1-2 inches loss after a few sessions. For clients with very little body fat an average of 1 inch in muscle increase is the average loss. Whatever the result, you will feel and look more toned, stronger and fitter.

Does it work for all body types?

Yes. The systems that we use at The Body Firm work irrespective of age, physique or ethnic background.

Is it safe?

The Body Firm system is very safe. We have never encounter any unwanted side effects over the years of using the system.

How much does it cost?

Depending on which package you choose, you can pay as little as $89.00 per session.


Benefits:
  • Strengthens and tone muscles
  • Lose inches in just 3-4 weeks
  • Reduce cellulite
  • Improve posture and reduce back pain
  • Bust enhancement



The Body Firm System - After changing out of my dress, I was lying on the bed in a relaxed manner. During the treatment, I was feeling ticklish as I felt a tingling sensation running through my body. I can feel every muscle tensed up, firming up and working out. The feeling is incredible as I felt like I was lifting weights in the gym but it was the machine doing the entire work for me! After the treatment was completed, my arms felt stronger and skin has tightened.

Apollo Tripollar™



Apollo Tripollar™

What is it?

Tripollar™ is the world’s most advanced radio frequency (RF) technology. Clinically proven and used successfully around the world, TriPollar™ technology heats fat cells and accelerates their metabolism. The rise in temperature forces the fat cells to secrete fatty acids (liquid fat) which is disposed off via the blood and lymphatic system. Simultaneously Tripollar™ technology stimulates the body’s natural skin renewal processes, tightens existing collagen fibers and enhances new collagen generation. The desired result is a tightening of the skin, a reduction in fat, stretch marks and cellulite.

How many areas can be treated in one session?

Most customers choose one problem area to work on. However, more than one area treated in one session is possible. The Tripollar™ system can be used on both the body and face.

How many treatments do I need?

You can start with either 8 or 10 sessions.

How long is each treatment.

Depending on the area you like to work on between 25-40 minutes.

How does it feel?

It feels like a warm massage, pleasant and pain-free.

Has Tripollar™ been clinically tested?

Yes! The system has been clinically proven to tighten and re-contour the arms, abs, flanks, buttocks and thighs, leaving the skin looking firmer and younger. Great results can also be achieved on the eyes, face and neck.

What kind of results can I expect?

The majority of customers are able to see visible results immediately after a few treatments. However, in order to achieve long-term results, you will need to do several sessions.

What do I do in order to maintain the result?

In order to maintain the results it is important to maintain a lifestyle of healthy diet and exercise. In addition it is recommended to undergo maintenance treatments to prolong and enhance the results.

Do TriPollar™ treatments work on all skin colors?

TriPollar™ treatments are suitable for all skin colors, including dark and pigmented skin.

How much does it cost?

Depending on the package you choose from $150 per session.

Benefits:
  • Wrinkle reduction
  • Skin tightening
  • Preventive wrinkle and aging treatment
  • Reduction of double chin
  • Improved appearance of cellulite
  • Localized fat reduction
  • Circumference reduction
  • Stretch mark improvement


Apollo Tripolar - There are many beneficial effects of using Radio Frequency (RF) technology. Scientifically and clinically proven, using RF technology in beauty treatments help to achieve positive results in body sculpting, anti-ageing and skin tightening. During the treatment, I did not experience any pain and only felt relaxed as though I was given a warm massage. Before I know it, the treatment was completed and my thighs felt tighter and firmer. 


OVERALL EXPERIENCE AT THE BODY FIRM - A highly recommended place to visit if you wish to achieve your ideal body shape as the treatments are highly specialized and reasonably priced. You don't need to break the bank to achieve your dream body shape.
