Crazy Brickfields now all ONE WAY

Are you going for the church ceremony on the 9th?

If yes, here's a news flash - the roads in Brickfields have gone haywire. Everything is now ONE WAY.

If you're coming from Federal Highway / PJ / Bangsar...
On Jalan Tun Sambanthan, keep right all the way. Watch out for Wisma PIAM and turn right at Jalan Thamby Pillai. You will immediately see a little construction site in front of you.

The church's back entrance is located on the left of this site on Jalan Thamby Pillai. There is parking space available here, but limited. There is an open air parking space on the right of the construction site. Lots of space there.

If you're coming from KL...
- Get to Jalan Tun Sambanthan and turn left immediately after Esso. You'll be on Jalan Tun Sambanthan 4.
- Turn right at Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad. You'll drive past a mosque, the Pandu Puteri HQ and the Tamil Methodist Church. You'll also see the open air parking lot after the church, but it's one-way only so you can't get in.
- Keep driving, turn right (and keep right) at Jalan Rozario. Turn right again at the junction (you'll be back at Jalan Tun Sambanthan. Then turn right at Jalan Thamby Pillai when you see Wisma Piam.
- Park at open air car park in front of you or at the church compound.

 The church sanctuary where the ceremony will be held can be accessed from the Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad entrance, but due to limited parking space, this area is reserved for the wedding car, helpers and family members only.

Thanks people! See you soon!

The invite cards are ready! Hooray!

Darren and I want to minimise our impact on the environment, so we opted for cards printed on recycled paper.

The card is also kinda tiny. Quarter A4 size.
Use less paper lor!

Any print overruns (if we end up having more cards that we can send out), will be used as decorations on our wedding day, so nothing goes to waste.

We want to thank Erika (Jo Ho's daughter) who illustrated us in her distinct style (check her out at deviantart.com - her alter ego is TotenVeloren).

The printer said my initial card design was a tad too ambitious (I wanted the card to function as a DIY angpow as well). It would take too long and cost a lot more to create a mould for the perforations and stuff. So we scrapped that idea and simplified it. A big thank you to my gym and lunch buddy Karen Wong, for redoing the layout (and the map to the church!).

Also our heart felt thanks to David & Eva Ng, and uncle Hock Swee, for coming all the way to our place to show us the print samples and deliver the cards.

Initially, I wanted dark chocolate brown envelopes to go with the cards, but there were none to be found. There is a lovely site from UK that sells envelopes in a rainbow assortment of colours, but they were wayyyy to expensive. After calling up almost every single envelope supplier in town, I found the next best thing, light apple green envelopes from Sunflower at Ikano.

With only 6 weeks left to spare, we're finally sending out our invites *sweat*

Ten ten ten!

Hello everybody!

The day is getting closer and closer and I'm trying not to be a panicky bride.

This will be where we'll post updates, information and maps to our wedding venues.

Will keep you posted!
