wow, entering march! unbelievable!

and just to share something equally unbelievable.... I was told by my gynae that fruit juices are actually not that good for the body as widely believed.

he recommended to eat the fruit itself, rather than juicing them, cuz when u juice them, more fruits are required in order to make them into one cup of fruit juice and by doing so, the body actually took in more fruits than required, and that will raise the sugar content in the body!

sounds logical.... why didn't I think of it earlier?! or maybe we all just took it for granted that it's good to take MORE fruits.

grrrr... and I had been drinking soooo much fruit juices than before, thinking that it's good for us. in the end was told my urine contains sugar traces which is not too good... have to cut down on sugar and carbo intake... boohoo!

大年初二

大年初二, 回娘家!!

ahhh, 1st time angbow giving! hahahahah

then to grandma's place for ny visiting. this yr, im the buffet organiser again! last year, the buffet came late and the food standard kidda dropped, so I said this yr, will change caterer. but then in the end, the same caterer was engaged lah. kekeke.

they took the initiative to send me the menus and i only compared with a few other caterers. their price is really quite reasonable and there was no rise in the price! exactly the same as last year's pricing! ... so decided to give them a chance again. hahaha.

but this year, im smarter already. requested the timing to be earlier, just in case they arrive late again. also to ensure sufficient time for the food to heat up.

and yes, this year, they were on time!

my 4th yu-sheng for the year!

huaaaaat aaaaah!

大年初一

a week ago, today was cny eve. ahhh, how time flies!! a week passed just like that!

大年初一, steamboat at uncle's place. yummmmmmmmm.

but actually now, cant enjoy steamboat as much as in the past already. cux now gotta make sure food is very very cooked and cannot mix the raw food with the cooked food, so utensils wise also gotta be very careful. 80%-cooked pig liver used to be one of my fav steamboat items, but now also dare not eat le. hmmm.

girls' power! LOL

huaat ahh!

ReD PacKets

The art of angbow bao-ing! Different values in different angbows meant for different recipients. Lol.

Initially wanted to buy those nice nice angbow packets, since it's our first yr baoing. Most r selling at $1 to $2 per pack. Some at $2 for 3packs. Cheapest I saw was $2 for 7packs at the cny fair near our neighborhood. But in the end bought none lah, since got so many free ones around. Might as well save that $2 as well. Ho ho.

Hereby wishing everyone an advance happy cny! All the v best in the ny!

WeddinG AcTuaL DaY - SolemniSaTioN

our solemnisation, yeah, same day as our wedding day.

it's quite of a mad rush, really. after we reached the hotel, bathed, removed make-up.... the MUA came knocking on the door again. uh-huh, and it's preparation for the solemnisation!

together with the make-up and hairdo for MIL and mum, by the time im done, it was actually quite late already.

and for MBS, one thing not so good was that the banquet venue is a distance away from the hotel rooms. so... being already late, we rushed like mad and cheong all the way thru the MBS shopping mall to the solemnisation function room like one run-away bride with my 2 sisters in front, 2 sisters behind, and MUA pulling the make-up luggage following us. LOL. like one super star lahh.

and by the time we finally rushed and reached the function area, I was told to slow down and no need to rush liao.... cuz..... the photographers and videographers had not arrived yet!!!!!

diaoooooooo

apparently their car broke down and caused the delay. in the end, we were like almost an hr late for the solemnisation! lucky our solemniser was not rushing for elsewhere... but it was kidda obvious that he wasn't very happy to have waited for so long. well, who would? so paisay lah.

and finally, our solemnisation! woohoo!

with the blessings of everyone

listening to the solemniser... and yes, hubb did look so solemn lah

our solemniser - prof teo cheng swee

signing and pledging our lives to each other

=)

yay!

parents in law

after solemnisation, was to change a hairstyle and preparation for the reception and dinner!

stay tuned!
