I tried and tried many many gowns today! White wedding gowns and evening gowns. Too bad no photography is allowed but I will strive to steal some shots on my photo shoot!
Settled for a total of 6 gowns. 3 white ones and 3 evening gowns for the indoor shoot on the 20th. Got a lilac color bling bling gown the is halter neck but bare back, a beige like color one, which will come out looking like gold color in the photo, that is shapeless (i think) and another grey gown that is has can can in it. I have to chose 3 more gowns for my outdoor shoot on the 21st. Luckily I have already shortlisted a black toga for my outdoor shoot thus, just 2 more gowns. Probably another white wedding gown and a red evening gown.
Anybody wan to tag along and take candid shots for me? Its going to be hard work given the hot weather outside during the outdoor shoot. :)

Tom Yum Kung Fu.. Kung Fu Fighting...
Met up with Nana to try the famous Tom Yum Kung Fu that Wendy's been raving about. Might be a coincidence, Nana had some Kung Fu Fighting at work. (Verbally. she very demure one k!)
The little shop feels like little Thailand. With pictures of Thailand, paintings of Buddha, hand painted cement wall and soft Thai music playing in the background. Even the staffs are Thai!
Have a look at Thai's steamboat. Isn't their apparatus cute? The dome at the top is for BBQ-ing of your food. This traditional steamboat is functioned by charcoal.
Here's the share of the smallest size. $30. Suitable for 2 pax. The pork is well marinated and the soup is delish! Flavourful chicken stock that has no msg! Point to note though, i was perspiring all the way while eating. Maybe cause the steam was blowing towards my direction but it is quite warm there. So, dress light if heading there.
On the Necterine we proceed as they were closed the last time we went over. Chose to sit on the outside as the inside only had high chair. Peony Jade for Nana and Strawberries and cream for me. Rich chocolate truffle managed to perk Nana up just a little but for me, I was still perspiring. Perhaps its the makings of the antibiotics that I am taking. But, perspiring perspiring I was!
Not only was I perspiring, I was having a bad hair day. Look at my hair in the above picture. Duno y the top so sharp. Nana say i look like avartar! In any case, I now know for a fact: Canon cameras make my face look fat! LOL!

Lots accomplished!
Woke up super early to go to the temple with my parents and Mae Sie n family. The weather was horrible! Super duper warm and humid. Add on the queues in the temple? Just plain wonderfully HOT! Lol...
Took a cat nap of 30 mins after reaching home and off Ro & I went to tanjong pagar in search of a make up artist. Neo Liren is the choice for us. She's candid, direct and offers loads of advice. Very taiwanese kind of character, never mincing her words and most say she has a diva attitude. But she would work fine I feel. I will be able to put her in her place I'm sure.
So with the engaging of Liren, it's one more item off my to do list. Not much to-do, to begin with, but better to complete them asap. Off to santouka and back home for an early night.
Lots of stuff accomplished on a short short Sunday. Temple. Check! Make up artist. Check! Ro's craving of Santouka. Check!
On a completely random thing: Here's a picture of the red packets that rolex gave. Came in a box of 10. Very very thick material and classy too! I like! Mum gave them all out during CNY. I'll definitely keep the one she gave me!

Happy birthday to all!
The 7th day of the lunar new year is considered all human mankind's birthday. Not too sure how it came about but this is the day that most of the Chinese will celebrate. As per our usual practise, we head over to my aunt's house where she entertain us with her good cooking skills.
The old folks having some camwhore session. They wanted a photo with the God of Wealth on the wall.
Our family portrait. All immediate members of my dad's side. My dad was in the loo when the photo was taken. LOL! Small family we have as my grandma only had 3 kids. My dad being the eldest have 2 kids, followed by my aunt who has only 1 daughter den after, my uncle who has 3.
The wong family (Wong fei hong) has the invincible shadow kicking (Wu ying Jiao). So does the Lee family and this picture proves it! We have shadow boxing (Wu ying shou)! The plate looks small but it is actually roughly 20inch in diameter. Bought specially for our yearly Lou Hei.
Here's a picture of Poco and me. And Matthew who wanted to take a photo with poco too. After clearing up most of the stuff, and the folks had enuff of nespresso, some of them proceed on with a mah jong session. I played just one round but won like $20. LOL! Heng ar!! Here's to more good luck for the year. Huat ar!!
At the top u can see a pot of almost finished lagsane, the white pot of bacon mushroom spaghetti and the transparent pot of seafood spaghetti.
Here's a picture of the lagsane before it was being attacked. The 4 corners of the pot are the most coveted pieces as they have most of the crispy crust.
My aunt's famous Yu Shen. We always have it on the 2nd and 7th day of the lunar new year. Made from fresh vege and sauce altered to our liking. Neither too sweet nor too sour. She specially bot the apparatus to string the veges out.

In a market?
This is what I noticed when i step into the office today. Roughly about 8 stalks of vege hanging overhead in other department's ceilings.. lol! Its lion dance day! Totally forgotten about it. My department has none. Guess we aint too excited about it.
Spot this hello kitty ang bao nearest ot me. By one of the facilities lady. Nice and cute!
The lions posed for us to take a photo. So cute right? It's in my fav red color.
Seriously, i think the lions are overworked. I can see the lion trembling and the hand that reaches out for the vege is also trembling. I guess covering 7 levels of the OMB building aint no joke.
The lion even posed with the seat's occupant! I likey! cute hor? Ok, now back to doing my report. Tata lion!Perils of a being a new mummy...
Met up with Cindy after work today for our scrapaholic shopping. New arrivals on Thursdays.
After hearing the perils of being a new mummy, previous findings have been proven to be absolutely real. The feeling of being a atm milk machine, the difficulties with the in laws, the pain, the doubts of self worth, the fats & weights issues and the nonsupporting or spouse who can never understand what you are going thru.
Will you want to be a mummy? For now, the answer is no. Too comfortable a life now to want to be boggled down by a kid and also the various problems and self doubts that will come..
In future? I seriously don't know if i will change my mind.
How about u? Do you want to be a mummy?

Happy first working day!
Happy new year everyone. Is everyone back at the office? This is my usual practice. To clean the tables and everything up before the last working day and to place a pair of orange with an ang bao on the table. This way, you'll be greeted with a 'kai gong' ang bao when u're back! Good working luck and prosperity awaits! Happy working everyone!
