i love timsum!

it's a post-mimi-wedding gathering at the Mandarin Oriental Cherry Garden for our lunch! mimi's treat for us being the bridesmaids! never knew being bridesmaid had such privileges too! but then again, mimi is generous! yayness!

not these bridesmaids....

this one!

knowing mimi, i aint surprised at all when she failed in her attempt to make reservations at the restaurant, or any other restaurants for that matter. she's not really a C kinda person... thank God for airdeline who managed to bargain her way into the place, securing our very humongous table.... way too big for short arms (ahem, like wei..)

look at the galore of food! for $48+++ free flow, it's worth it!

us after an extremely full timsum lunch. close to embarrassing to have the waiters serve us non-stop with food... =]

complete randomness

it's seldom in my benevolent nature to blog and bitch abt pple online. but i reckon that since this is MY blog and i aint gonna run for presidency anytime soon, i have the freedom of speech here, and hopefully, the parties involved will not be offended and cast a spell on me or something. after all, they are not supposed to be stalking me, right?

lately, i've been hearing stuffs abt breakups (of aeons ago) and till today, parties involved (or rather, one party involved) are still bitter abt it.... this is so secondary school can... so 16-year-old...

i mean, i do empathize that a breakup is hard to handle, but c'mon, the best part abt breakups is that you can start afresh and live with sweet memories, and NOT to keep harping on the fact that you both are not an item anymore and y the other party is making such a lousy decision with the new beau, and so on. there muz be a reason y u are the EX, right?

in any case, my point is, why bother making life difficult for others and life bitter for yourself? perhaps 2 years on, as you look back, you find yourself silly having wasted so much time. wake up, my dear friend.

i am Singaporean!

oh yes, indeed i am. for the 21++ years of my life, i've never been to a live National Day Parade!

tis year, thanks to surely (and whoever that friend was who played her out at the last minute -> i was told no one played us out, surely juz had extra tix! ), i managed to earn myself a free NE show tix! note, it's not even the preview or actual NDP. -.- i felt nonetheless Singaporean. hehe.
dat's me all decked in red, and baking under the hot sun. i swore i became at least 2 tones darker after the parade.
tis year's parade was done in a musical, where acts 1-3 depicted the growth of Singapore from a small fishing village to a metropolis. den again, which year didn't show such scenes? haha... in any case, i so like the seashells, especially the ones in the waters... for a moment i tot they were cupcakes. hehe.
and highlights of every NDP has gotta be the fireworks. after all, things that are shortlived are most precious! =D

Baby G enjoys Body Combat as much as Mommy!

and this is definitely not juz Mama's breathing!

Mimi and Ivan's Wedding!

the beautiful bride and her entourage of pink jiemeis!

finally, we have come to this long awaited day! frankly speaking, i wasn't v sure if mimi and ivan could work out. not 'work out' as in 'whether the marriage might work' but more of whether the wedding ceremony is going to go on smoothly. after all, mimi works in ways even i am amazed.

until the last minute, i was still fretting over the color of the flower petals needed. issit pink, fuchsia pink, red, champagne, or any other shade of pink i can't put a name to?
the day prior to the wedding was even worse (for me at least). i woke up at 3am thinking i am the bride and was going to be late for my own wedding.

and wat made things worse? the Husband conveniently switched off my alarm (for which i was secretly thankful for the few extra minutes of sleep.) in the end, i was the latest jiemei ever... think twice before even engaging my services, my frens.
the morning was indeed fun with all the sabos for the groom and the brothers. it was the usual 酸甜苦辣foodies and i muz say i'm proud of my eat-bread-off-the-panty-hanger game!
in the end, they made it, partly stating ''no time'' as the excuse for ending our games early. on our end, we had our fair share of ang bao $ too... in ringgit, rupiah and singapore dollars. -.-
we adjourned to the hotel soon after to set up the matrimony place and the banquet hall. seriously, with a bride like mimi, we dun really have to do much. i even had time to sneak off to carl's jr for breakfast. hee.

everything, from the bubbles bottle, decor on the table, ring holder, angbao box, was all planned for! so preetttty!

it wasnt long before everything was done and we juz made ourselves pretty at the reception table. =D ♥ ♥ ♥ have a blissful marriage mimi and ivan! ♥ ♥ ♥
