wrist corsage

was shopping at Daiso on Friday.. wanted to get some materials for the ang pow box but couldnt find the color I wanted.. so didnt buy anything for that.. instead, saw some nice flowers and decide to make my own wrist corsage.. since i had time.. hee..

p.s: my dear ah yi, if you see this, dont laugh ok? u r better at making things, want to provide some ideas? hee..

baileys cheesecake

dear dear commented that i havent been baking and making sweets for him.. he said he wanted to eat the baileys cheesecake and since it is quite an easy work which doesnt require baking, i made it for him on saturday night...

some photos to share..

i just love to see whipped cream.. it is so light and so white!

finally used my small cake rings! i admit is ugly..
i just cant get the chocolate part right.. just cant do the marble swirl..
bty, kendy how u remove from the ring, how come i had such difficulty??

but dear dear, bro & b sis still loves it! hee..

ice-cream again..

on saturday evening, we went back to our house to take a look and open the letter box, after that we went jurong point for dinner..

went to courts and harvey norman to check out their mattress.. finally found something we wanted.. something not too hard and not too soft.. will save it for the buy for next month .. hee..

had anderson's ice-cream before heading home for a good rest and kelly baby shower tomorrow..

our banquet..

we truly made full use of the school holidays and weekends to complete our stuff.. on saturday, we went to made deposit for our banquet.. at the same time, we chose our cards which also mean we will receive the invitation cards soon.. hmm.. when dear dear mum comes back from japan, shall ask her when they want to go for food tasting..

well, some photos we have taken..



i just love the greens! hope we can take some nice shots there on our actual day.. hee..

as there was a wedding at night, we managed to see the table arrangement again..

early friday..

had conference call on friday morning at 730am so was granted early dismissal at 430pm! hee.. as dear dear was on half day leave to go.. we met at about 5pm at my work place.. as my office is at alexandra road which is near to vivo.. we head to vivo city!!

it was rather early and there wasnt a crowd.. wow! just love such timings.. no long queues at restaurants.. no many people squeezing.. shops were empty with few customers.. we could practically do anything..

since there was no queue, we decide to have our dinner early.. well, i chose the place and admit that i made the wrong choice.. earle swensens.. expensive food, lousy food but great ambience.. but the ambience is somehow similar if we choose another restaurant at vivo since they shared the same view! haha.. regretted! then when we head to the walk area at level 4, we realised there is marche! and we should have dine at marche instead.. because everytime we are there, there is always a long queue at marche.. so we always never have a chance to dine at marche vivo..

presenting the photos we took at earle swensens..

my selection of baked beans, jackfruit chips, ham salad and chicken salad.. dear dear was surprised i didnt take any greens! i was surprised myself too!!

doh.. this is the nice view i was refering to.. thought construction was taking place but there is still some nice water view.. makes me feel relaxed knowing work is piling up in office..

as i had a late lunch, i opt for something light.. but trust me, the sausage isnt that great.. i didnt finish it..

wonder what is on his mind..??

i was too full with the main course & salad bar.. i didnt touch the ice cream at all..

my colleagues muffins

my colleague baked yummy fruity muffins yesterday.. but they were huge!! she made cranberry, banana and blueberry.. looks not bad.. but it was quite sweet for my tooth though..

thanks for the lovely muffins!

3 psp!

over the weekend, i bought 2 psp.. one is brother's, one is crystal.. the other is dear dear.. now they can play DJ max!! haha..

should i wear kua?

today gen was telling me that she told lian to wear kua for photo taking because this is like the only one time you get to wear.. haha.. so now was thinking.. i told the coordinator that i didnt want to wear kua even on actual day! haha.. now it sets me thinking.

asked dad just now, but he said cantonese wear kua..

hmm.. maybe should consider to wear on my actual day.. any comments, my dear families?

aldo shoes!

went to orchard just to get my aldo shoes as promised.. hee.. dear dear got a pair of pedro.. though is a bit pricey but the design is not bad.. our 1st pair of so expensive shoes! haha..

after the gown selection, i decided i had to get very high heels as the gowns looked so long!! so ta-daa.. my wedding shoes are 4 inches high!! haha.. because dear dear is very tall so it doesnt matter how high my shoes are.. hee.. but that also means we have to walk really slowly.. hee..

happy happy that we got our shoes!!

our feast after the hard work!

was telling alfred that i cant feast with them if after my gown selection, i cant find a good gown.. but hee.. i looked so great almost in any piece so i ate well! hee..

we spent rm160 for a great meal.. chilli crab with mantou, hotplate toufu, sausage with egg, hotplate with deer meat, kangkong, you tiao with salad sauce, cereal crayfish.. mum bought some kuek also.. very cheap & nice... i love it!!

thanks mummy, alfred & b sis to go all the way to jb for the gown fitting! thank u dear dear for taking so many secret pictures for me.. hee..

gown selection for photo taking..

went for gown selection yesterday which is also a saturday.. mummy, b sis & alfred & dear dear went with me for my gown selection..

my mummy cant stayput.. she insisted on walking around.. so b sis & alfred went with her to see see after i tried a few wedding gowns.. but i must say that i tried the very nice ones when they were not around.. & then, i was left to decide by myself & dear dear..

they did not allow me to take photographs at all.. these snaps are taken secretly! hmm.. i kept whining to the lady that those gowns are so beautiful & i cant even take a shot..

i shortlisted so many wedding gowns and when i was told to select.. i cant recall how i look in them! but i have heard many stories that you must have the feeling of glam & all.. but as i tried on each piece, i think it just looks so good! finally i selected 2 indoor wedding gowns, 1 with halter frills and the other pom pom long train.. should look good in phototaking.. so i selected it.. they are cream colored & not white color..

i chose another tube white with silver glitters on the top as my outdoor gown.. quite figure hugging & nice!!

i chose 3 evening gowns.. wanted to choose a short cute gown but the evening gowns were too nice to resist.. so i forgo the idea to have a short one.. i have a baby blue, white with pink and yellow evening gown! nice!!

i tried another tube baby blue gown.. very simple.. & very nice but the lady said this should look good on actual day and not on photo taking so didnt choose that.. i tried another 2 green gowns.. very nice!! but i still prefer the yellow and the white with pink gown..

featuring the secretly taken shots by dear dear.. they were taken randomly so those wedding gowns that i liked & chosen, didnt take a picture..

deep v neck baby blue evening gown.. dear dear & i love this!! i had to choose this! hee

the back of the dress...

dear dear love this!! he said is so princessy! i love pink so i chose this too!!
the other yellow gown didnt take a pic.. so sad..

the last wedding gown i tried on before trying on evening gown.. didnt choose this though..

eski bar @ boat quay

after our dinner, we head to boat quay.. it was still very early.. 9plus.. so the crowd wasnt really there yet.. we walked the whole street & finally decided to go eski bar..

that was also the 1st few place we went to when we dated.. dear dear had his fave edinger & i had margarita..

we just sat down.. enjoy the drinks, the company.. we didnt talk much also.. for i think dear dear is really sad.. well, hope he feels better soon..

you will know why my drink is untouched later on..

because i was playing psp!!! heee

changing appetite..

dear dear was not too happy on friday.. so we went in search for happy food.. decide to eat at changing appetite since the queue wasnt too long.. within 10 minutes we got our seats! hee..

it was a hearty meal! too full!!

not bad..

we love the nachos with cheese!!! we ordered extra cheese sauce!!

while at the queue, i saw people eating this... the chicken breast is so tender & soft!!
love it!! It goes well with the nachos & mango!!

well, this is the sinful 1!
ice-cream with chocolate fudge with cookies & marshmallow!

happy birthday Siang!

other people were talking away on honeymoon destination etc.. but for me.. just started my new job.. just want everything to go smoothly.. dear dear will graduate in may 09.. so told him we plan our honeymoon then.. best! honeymoon + graduation celebration trip!!! though there are many many places i would love to go, but anywhere will be great as long as dear dear is by my side... tokyo (experience the culture & get kate spade), seoul (bbq food, ginseng chicken soup), LA (coach, kenneth cole, victoria secrets.. hee..) Spain (mango) Italy, German (LV trivoli or palermo or both!!!), australia (see koala bear, kangeroos, fairy penguins, pluck strawberries, apples, visit wineries think it would be really fun!!!)

time to check out the mattress & bed frame..

happy birthday bro..

thanks dad for getting the cake.. but bro was much into his new toy! all of us shared an electric guitar for him.. he simply loved it! yesterday he told me, he played till he had blisters but at night i can hear him playing away.. oh yes, the noise was unbearable because is not piano.. not graceful.. but electric guitar and the songs he listen rocks loh.. so can u imagine our ears??? haha..

though he made a pact to stop playing after 10pm.. i could hear him playing at even 11pm!! he just loves it.. & since the rest didnt complain.. we didnt scold him either.. it is his passion.. he just enjoys it.. should have taken a pic of the electric guitar to post it online since i guess the rest of the sponsors didnt get to see the actual thing! haha..


when we opened up the box, was quite surprised to see a pinkie strawberry cake.. my dad said he called my brother to ask him what flavour he wants.. we were all surprised that brother likes strawberry!

pressie from Berlin..

younger sis came back yesterday after her 2 weeks holiday in Germany.. it must really be fun & relaxing.. she spent 3 days at Berlin & bought the cookie cutters for me.. must start searching for gingerbread man recipes so can put the cookie cutter into good use.. hee. thanks! i love it! can you tell from the picture that the traffic light man is wearing caps! do not belittle traffic lights, in every country, there is some variations.. i remember in taiwan, the traffic light man will start walking faster and faster till it is running when the time is shorten.. funny!

besides the cookie cutters, she got me a make up set with many assorted colours with bling bling effect.. hee.. yes, its glitters.. she got dear dear a nice box of liquor chocolates..

thanks for remembering everyone, though i still prefer an lv for pressie.. hee..

my bakes!!

zh told me on thursday that after kendy & i left.. nobody finds recipes in office & discuss what to make.. especially after exams, now she has more time.. hee.. i miss those times too..to search & search & print all of them! hee.. my current co has password & tracking system for printing of colour printing.. $0.15 per piece so is being monitored..:( thankfully, i have printed all those recipes i wanted before i left! hee.. i cant imagine printing without color, then i would not be able to see a sample of the end product.. hmm... dear dear got a new color printer, thanks dear dear in advance for printing! hee

presenting my bakes last week..




my brother said it tasted so good that he finished more than half of the brownie!! it is idoit-proof and is very simple to make! i should have added marshmallow.. hee.. next time
..
my cinnamon rolls, yes mummy kendy, im stubborn.. i used the same old recipe which explains the same results! haha.. where did you get your last recipe? you never share.. can find for me? hee.. wonder if is my tiring hand because i didnt mix it well enough and the texture is hard! going to throw it away...

this morning, dear dear went reservist again.. i woke up at 6am to prepare breakfast & pack pasta for him.. dear dear bought the ingredients for me yesterday. when you get a man to do grocery shopping, it is very interesting! hee..

afternoon went to buy a packet of hershey's choco chips to make these choco chips cookies.. it took me less than 2 hours to make 2 recipes of these.. very easy & the baking time is about 10-15 mins.. fast!! i have 4 bottles of choco chips at home now! i have down 6 cookies.. is really yummy!!

presenting my yummlicious choco chips cookies...

see how it spreads in the oven!! only managed to get some nice rounded ones.. some are cut off at the edges because they spread onto each other.. but is nice lor! hee..

after blogging, i realised i didnt take any pictures of the cookies.. because was trying to find the nicer ones to take photoshoot but didnt find a nice tray to take...

tiring weekend but fulfilling!! hee...

updates on the week..

it is my 2nd week into my new job.. getting to know more about the interesting people there.. waiting for my manager to come back to shift to another seat so that i have my own place.. guess i need to wait for another week because he has to shift and anohter colleague has to shift to get my seat.. hmm...:(

received my namecard today.. it has been sometime i haven had a namecard.. i gave dear dear my 1st namecard! haha..

have already list down my task lists! gosh!! its quite a lot.. b sis asked me how is my new job.. i said ok so far so good but busy... she replied.. work that is busy then can be considered as work.. haha.. i believe more tasks will be added next week because another manager is coming back next week..

entering into a new field, engineering which i have no relevant knowledge before is pretty boring i should say.. i was doing some catalog thingy and brainstorming edm last week with my colleague.. but am totally clueless about the industry and what their customer expects! haha.. hopefully, next week can have a discussion with my personal adviser there for more insight! haha.. she has been extremely busy last week but am happy that i get to do marketing again and best there's someone i know to guide me along.. hee.. thanks to that someone.. we get to have more gossips!! wonder if is good or bad! haha..

so looking forward to a great weekend.. let my weekends be long long!!
