I went to my hairdresser who is a proud father now and kept showing me his son's photos. I must say the baby is really cute...makes you want to have one too.


Hmmm...think about it ba. *Apprehensive*

~ My WorkSpace ~

I've fallen in love with decorating my workspace...

My favourite is this Kitty marshmallow Christmas present from my colleagues...nice and edible!




My new addition today, he's from Jim Thompson Thai Silk, heard that it's very famous and ex in Thailand


I mistaken it for a goat, when it is actually a donkey, will it have identity crisis if I call him "Yang Yang"?


Have you tried Awfully Chocolate's cakes? It's awefully famous.

=== I Put On 1KG!!! ===

First of all, I wanna establish a fact that is slowly fading away.

For those of you who don't know me enough, you thought I am a small eater. That is a myth.

I am one of those (I thank my God) who has extremely high metabolic rate and burns carbohydrates fast, which is why I eat a lot of pasta, rice, bread (anything with carbo).

But, ever since I came back from my honeymoon and work in EY, I PUT ON 1 KG!!!! I ain't happy about it because it hints of slowing metabolism.

At the rate my office snacks, it's no wonder...

Count Your Blessings!

It's the time of the year where festive cheer is in the air and we make merry and sing our Auld Lang Sye. In the midst of all the celebration, it's also a time where I really looked back at the year and thank God for all the blessings that have come.

No doubt, it has been a challenging year for me, with a job loss in the face of wedding preparations and yet God has turn it around and I'm now happily planted in EY(Ernst & Young).

The great unbelieveable miracles that God has done:
- Started saving for my wedding in March this year and yet George & I were able to save enough money for our wedding in September. (I still didn't know how that happened!)
- Moved into our house expecting almost-bare living conditions yet we have comfortably settled with a good (and I say good again!) bed, 42-inch plasma tv, dining table and kitchen appliances all in

One sees the great hand of God in weddings...Amen!

Wedding Photos

My beloved ones, the long awaited............wedding photos!

I must say I wasn't a photogenic bride, but any bride is deemed most beautiful on their wedding day, so I shall crown myself "beautiful" on my big day.

Robin, my photographer, did a fabulous job of creating a "feel" that I liked of all the photos. Thanks!

Any decent bride should eat on their wedding day, this is me eating at 6 am...




Just when you thought all evidence are gone, I've put this covenant "bigger" for my darling to see [of course it ain't so strict la, I'm nicer than this :)]

The handsome groom...


The Ah Cheks in their cheekiness...

Some more shots...








My favorite picture...really.

Thank You My Darling

Disclaimer:

1) I have no wish for my blog to turn into a mushy site, but at this point I really wanna appreciate my dear for the things he has done for me, so my readers, do bear with me!

2) I pronounced myself the unofficial guide to good food in Singapore cos' I'm a self-professed food lover that would travel to different parts of this city (with the help of Darling of course) to seek out note-worthy food.

My hubby brought me to this HARAKU Japanese Restaurant at Katong Villa on his birthday celebration (I was supposed to celebrate for him but he brought me to sample my favourite food instead).

Winning Points:

- Excellent service from every staff; the Asst Mgr held the door as we leave, was sharp and alert
- Presentation is nice for mid-range pricing
- Sashimi is super fresh!
- Green tea is flown in from Japan (nice!)

See the pictures...I give it 6.5 for food, 9 for service out of 10 (my standard very high la)

~ Thoughts of a Newly Married Lady ~

A new stage of my life and I must say God has been good and is still good!!!

All the planning and stress that George and I had while preparing for our wedding was flushed away in one day - on our Wedding Day - like the flushing whoosh of the toilet flush (unromantic description right? Ha.)

On top of that, the bonus is that I have people coming to me to tell me that it's a beautiful wedding. And I know with the help of many dear ones, it really went well. How could it not when my dear ones put their heart and soul to run it? Thank you my darling helpers, all of you.

And thank you all the warm supporters who provided such a lovely atmosphere!

A huge wave of relief.
All the anxiety, weight and stress were gone and I liked the feeling!

Though my house is very very empty now, but I don't mind the hardwork of building a home from scratch, as long as both partners are willing and committed.

So far, the transition is fine as I'm very independant by nature. The change I've noticed is the significant willingness to put up with each other (me and George) in our unique life habits. So far so good (some people would call it the honeymoon stage) but I'm happy with the way things are now :)

Even if it's honeymoon stage, at least it's a very good start.

Hello to Mrs Tan!

Honeymoon Tales!

Went to Thailand for a short honeymoon and our first stop is to the little town of Pattaya, 2 hours from the Bangkok International Airport.

I must say we didn't expect much from this little town but turns out that it was more enjoyable than Bangkok is to us and here's why...

Beautiful ambience that sets the honeymoon mood at a rate cheaper than Bangok hotels....highly recommended The Mercure Hotel Pattaya...




George and I particularly missed Thai foodfare from this mini eatery that serves up palatable dishes, and my favorite "kang Kong" is called "morning glory" in Thailand...wonder why?


We chanced upon this Ripley's Museum in a shopping centre and it provided us with 2 hours of fun peeking around.






Original pieces of the Iron Curtain, the Berlin Wall that came down...pardon me for being a bad guide, I've forgotten what most of the exhibits I saw were! :(

Can you see a duck and a rabbit?

Cans galore!

My favorite pose...

Big tyre right? It's a replica of a real one..forgot what it was used for...some crane...

There was one haunted house that we didn't try...cos I would hallucinate if I attempted to go in...so we settled for a pose instead : )

And then we went off to Baiyoke Sky Hotel in Bangkok, the tallest hotel in Bangkok and we stayed on the 41st floor (which is the lowest zone)

I would really love to stay at the highest level (70 plus) but wasn't willing to pay the extras. Didn't regret it cos I didn't even like the hotel..I promised myself to stay in a better hotel if I were to visit Bangkok again..

I realised that hubby and I are both sightseeing travellers - we like to see new things and not enjoy trips that are all about shopping. We visited one of his Bangkok colleague and she took us to sample local authentic Thai cooking...nice...and cheap!!!!

Don't be deceived by appearance, it ain't spicy...

As for the rest of the days, we were so busy shopping, there's no time to take pictures!!

Erm..hahaha..I missed out some pictures...here goes!

Okie, I liked this Roasted Prawn Glass Noodles at a roadside eatery...you can't find the same taste in Singapore. Was amused by the big prawn head..haha.
