9 more weeks

Counting down... 9 more weeks to go before the big day!! Getting all excited!
Have sorted out most stuff, finally got the soft copy of all the wedding pictures taken last month. Next week there's food tasting (yummy), going down to the lawyer's to complete the house transaction.. and then I probably will have to start finalizing my guest list and sending the cards out!!! And Yujun has just confirmed that she will be coming to the wedding dinner in HK!!! Yippee!!! Jun, got to tell u first, the wedding invite is in chinese! So I guess I have to address it to YuJun and JunJie? Signed off by MingEn and ZhiYang? Sounds weird. Haha. Anyway, happy happy... going to see Jan too in July too!!!... wonder if we'll take more silly pictures... or maybe more cool and relaxing ones like the one here :-)

Back from Perth






Came back from a real good holiday last night!!! It was quite an eventful week.. Perth wasn't that boring actually and in fact I think the place is nicer each time I go. It was my 3rd time to Perth in 6 yrs and most people think I'm crazy to go back there again and again, and this time I did not even drive (which is almost unthinkable to Australians). But it didn't turn out that way. I realised the secret. First of all, choose a good weather. Secondly, you have to go with a relaxed mind, see the flowers, listen to the birds, cycle round swan river, eat gelare ice cream, whop up the all famous apple strudel, go for a nice breakfast (i.e. waffles and cappuccino), drink wine after dinner and watch Federer vs Nadal in the Hamburg Masters title, go into little spice shops or home decor shops and think about what would be nice for your home, drink smoothies and grab a snack or two from croissant express along the way... and yeah, just take it easy! I realised that Perth is not too bad after all except that things can be quite expensive. Yeah it's quite small but it's ok, at least it's not jammed packed and crowded. Anyway, so much for my hols.... you get what I mean. Can't write too much today cos it's getting kinda late. To be continued.. oh wait, actually I realised my friend Liling has posted quite a number of our pics on her blog. You can check it out too via the link on the left.

Stolen


Sigh sigh.. after all my effort to make the cheesecake on Saturday, I brought the cake (in slices) to the office yesterday, left them in the pantry fridge in the morning.. and when I went to retrieve them at 430pm... half the box was EMPTY!!!!!!!!! Someone stole my cheesecake!!!!!!!!! Argh. So upset man. It was so much hard work getting the cake done and someone just took it without asking. So rude!!! Must be those *n****s!! Too many of them on my floor and they visit the pantry most often.. whether for talking, snacking, lunch, high tea, after work.. oh well. It was a bad day.. i was so upset after that man. Haiz. Can't people tell that only plain water and milk is FREE? And even though I did not double wrap my box, or use some kinda black box, or label that it's mine, doesn't mean it's free??!?! Duh. Anyway, terrible la.

Here's my cake from the side. Looks a bit flat. I think the strawberries are in wrong proportion that's why. But yummy yummy.. 



On a brighter note, I'm off to Perth next monday with my jc friend Liling! It's super free and easy but we've booked like 4 day trips (cos she cant drive and my mum refuses to let me drive alone) so no choice. To most people it's unbelievable not to drive in Perth but I guess it's not too bad. I'll try and let you know. I think i'll miss home during this one week but it's just for fun anyway - first time traveling alone with a gal friend. 

It's thursday tomorrow.. another free dinner from office cos some overseas colleagues are down for a workshop. Quite nice to get free treats once in a while in nice restaurants at the expense of the bank! Something to look forward to! :-)

And lastly.. counting down to 9June when I get my keys!!!  And 1 more week before I get the soft copy of my pre wed pictures which we viewed last week! Nice nice. At least something to look forward to in life!
