Haha

A primary 4 question had the power to make us pull hair and lose sleep.

We turned off the lights, wanting to sleep, but the question haunted our minds seperately in the silence. I broke into laughter thinking how silly we were. And he suddenly thought of a formula, got up, turn on the light, and continued solving! Lols!!

Try it!
20 fish burger + 50 chicken rice costs $230.
10 fish burger + 25 bottles of water costs $65.
How much does a botrle of water cost?

Taipei

We are finally resting at the hotel! :))

Tiger 2992 landed 15mins early. Proceeded to change NT$ at rate 22.69, collect luggages and buy my tuna sandwich NT$90 (he got cheesecake NT$80).

As usual, we took 飞狗 bus to our desired location (NT$140 each). But this time, alighted at 第一饭店 and had to walk 50mins (at least 3km?!!) to our hotel, Onestar Hotel. Unlike other hotels, this hotel occupies only 1 level of a normal building.

The room is very cosy! Imagine we had to make space to open the luggage, but I enjoy the free wi-fi! :p

Just shared a cup noodle with hubs. Time to sleep! We need to wake up early for TK's taiji training tomorrow morning. Good night!


We happened to wear yellow together. Hehe

First steak at Lava Rock

The boy brought me to Lava Rock cause I was craving for steak. The stall serves big plate (enough for 2) of creamy mushroom soup for $2. Awesome price right?

This time he tried Ceasar Salad, $6.90.



I got my Chargrilled Prime Sirloin for $10.90, comes with fries and 2 sides which I can select. My choices were coleslaw and creamy potato salad, but my coleslaw was replaced by mashed potato - boy said he was too confused with so much options when sales lady tried to upsell. Haaaa. Steak was awesome! Picture for you!

First hair cut

Snip snip snip!

I cut his hair!! He allowed me to do so after gawzillion days!! :))

Turned out quite okay despite the scalp poking ouches and pulling of hair (bad scissors technique). Not perfect to me but he was feeling itchy all over and grew impatient. Oh wells, I finally cut his hair!! That's one item striked off my life's to-do list. :D

Thank you for trusting me darling. Heeee.

Lorong Halus Wetland

We left our footprints @ Lorong Halus Wetland today!

"A new eco-friendly wetland and riverfront promenade was officially opened yesterday morning.

Located within the Punggol New Town, the Lorong Halus Wetland and Riverside Walk of the Punggol Promenade will offer residents a range of commercial, social and recreational facilities.

Found along the eastern bank of the Serangoon Reservoir, the Lorong Halus Wetland occupies a section of the old landfill site, and has been transformed into an educational site and a sanctuary for plants, birds and other wildlife." source

Japanese Cemetery Park (日本人墓地公園)

The Japanese Cemetery Park (Kanji: 日本人墓地公園; rōmaji: Nihonjin bochi kōen) is a cemetery and park in Hougang, Singapore. It is the largest Japanese cemetery in South East Asia at 29,359 square metres, consisting of 910 tombstones that contain the remains of members of the Japanese community in Singapore, including young Japanese prostitutes, civilians, soldiers and convicted war criminals executed at Changi Prison in Singapore. It was gazetted (announced or published in an official journal or in a newspaper) as a memorial park by the Singapore Government in 1987.

We finally went (finally cause I've been wanting to go since 5 years ago), sun was bright, and warm. :) 

Took a morning stroll since the park is a 15 minute walk from our place. Situated along Chuan Hoe Road, off Yio Chu Kang Road. We were lucky to peek into the shrine cause it was opened for cleaning by a group of Japanese. 

Other things that mattered @ the park. =P

Baby Lynette Lau's full month

Headed to Lynette's full month celebration yesterday. Planned to photograph her in her cot but she was always being carried by somebody. This is her:

The diaper cake I made the night before, we also gave her a baby CD bought from Taiwan and the kawaii kimono shoes I made earlier.

Nice session catching up with squadmates!

as for my boy, he enjoyed being snapped by me. I love those freckles. :P

Life after Canon EOS 550D

There is a new camera in the house. My fingers are snap happy now! :) 

Valentine's Day

We agreed not to celebrate valentine's day this year but it so happened there was a movie mob season 2 finale on that day @ Merchant Loop, just beside Riverside Point, or Brewerkz, if you prefer. I was on course @ The Amara, so I walked over to Clarke Quay to meet him, passing by Chinatown for fabric viewing. haha.

Since we were already at somewhere so nice, we decided our stomachs should be treated to good food on a special day. Haha. Is this considered a celebration? :D

We got to movie mob screening area at around 7.15pm and parked at a good spot, waited patiently for our "500days of Summer" movie to commence. Little did we know that we became part of the 900 involved in some proposal which took place just before the movie. Later we found out that this movie mob was a request from a guy who intended to propose to her girlfriend of 5 years. The proposal was very sweet. All cars honked in celebration when the girl agreed! Catch the video here.

On this day 2 years ago, TK proposed. Ours tipped over to the funny side though. :P

Valentine's Day 2011

"Shall we not celebrate Valentine's day this year?", I asked. "Sure!!!", he replied.

So yeah, we are not celebrating it this year. :)) What is vday compared to our marriage day? :)) must we wait for the day retailers raise the prices to get a gift for your lover? We should have a spouse day! Lols.

On a side note, I really love receiving gifts (my love language). All year round okay hubby? Haha!

Lunar New Year 2011

New Year's eve we went to Granny Chang's place for reunion dinner and distributed red packets in advance.

Day 1 went went to Papa Kam MaMa Ong's place first, then to Granny Ong's place for lunch, played mahjong and gin ramy (don't ask me what's this).

Day 2, we went to his cousin's place for Mama Chang's reunion.

Day 3, His friends came over to our place for mahjong, blackjack, Wii, Yu sheng and steamboat. Day 4, we slacked the day away cause I don't remember doing anything.

Day 5, work begins. Huat ah!

CSI Exhibition

We put on our investigation hats and went Science Centre for CSI exhibition! There were a total of 3 crime scenes to solve, and an additional one to win an iPad! :) The event was more for kids, but we still enjoyed ourselves!

A little something

A call from a totally exhausted at work hubby, offering to pick me up from work due to heavy rain (coupled with lightnings and thunders) sent me grinning from ear to ear during my 20mins ride home.

Then during dinner, he started dancing expressively to the music from Korean drama on TV. I laughed, from the bottom of my heart. It felt really good! :)

Thank you for being such a sweetie. You always warm my heart and bring many smiles to my face.


What I've learnt today:
I feel happier when he takes the initiative to do something without my prompting (in short: surprise). Haha! It is true! I don't feel this happy when he does something at my request, which is why most of the time I insist he doesn't need to accede to my request since it is pointless to me by then. Tell me I am weird. :p

Pompeii Exhibition

Pompeii Exhibition was opened to public for last weekend and off we went! I heard about the exhibition some months ago and kept it at the back of my head. You can imagine how elated I was to hear news of entrances fee waiver. :P I told TK about it and the rest was history. Wished I had better camera cause the area was tad too dark.

The moment you enter the exhibition area, there were sculptures of human and animals in their dying poses, one with shackles on his ankle. Walked further in, many exhibits of furniture, household and luxury items used, and glimpse of how their houses looked like. There was a room screening a 3D video on the string of events leading to eruption that day.

I felt a little sad towards the end of the exhibition after knowing how the people and animals suffocated to death. :(

After the exhibition, we took pictures of ourselves!

Breakfast by TK

I bought bread, ham and cheese cause I love him. He puts it together for me cause he loves me. :))

Love is...

Love is...... When TK brings me my bedtime water.


A simple gesture it may seem, but to his 'seldom drink water at home' wife, it means he cares. :))

Do you know how your better half cares?

We went dancing!

First Hip Hop lesson with TK @ Dance Factory!! :)) Can you spot me? Hint: Front row.

Yeah, the one in blue top and black track pants. Joyce is on the left (all black) , Elise on the right (white top gray pants). :)

Next up! TK!! hehe. TK is in this video cause we were split into 2 groups based on length of pants. That's TK all the way on the left behind, in blue!

Goodbye 2011

What?! Our wedding blog slept through 2010?

It shall be active in 2011. Filled with our couple events! :)

Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) 5-7 Nov 2010

A super post dated update! :D

We escaped to KL last November during the Deepavali long weekend with our (his) friends.

Papa Chang came to our place very early to feed our kitties and gave us a lift to Orchard Point. We enjoyed Mcdonald's breakfast while waiting for the rest to arrive. The WTS coach ($70+ return trip) was really comfortable! Spacious seat and there was power socket every alternate seat! I was elated cause my iPhone wouldn't run out of batterey then! :D We played Plant vs Zombies all the way to KL.

Pit stop!

Finally in KL! On our way to hotel.

We got lost, and sought help from some hotel. :D

Hopped onto a cab and finally got there. We took the biggest bedroom - benefit of the wedded. haha.

Grandma's @ KLCC.

2nd day shopping!

They went for massage while I walked around the mall myself. I'm really not into massage.

Popped by Chinatown after that..

Before heading back to Singapore! And my shopping loot.

Changs' Wedding

OUR WEDDING 23 DEC 2009

Slept at close to 2am, I woke up at 6.00am, washed up and waited for my make-up artist, videographer and photographer to arrive at 6.30am. I wasn't the first to wake up in the family. The sweetest dad (to me) in the world woke up at 4am to prepare fried bee hoon for everyone. =)

My mum lit up the dragon-phoenix candles around 7am, the start of the auspicious hour.

The make-up artist was late due to earlier appointment... So we were a little short of time to doll up for the day's event. The Groom reached at 8am sharp while she was doing my hair..

We had time to take a family photo, got my parents to 'veil' me.. and retreated to my bedroom since June 1999.

The Groom, Mr Chang Boon Leong, waited anxiously for door boy to open door for him.

Took a brotherly picture and proceeded upstairs.

"I, Chang Boon Leong, is here to fetch the bride, Kam Yu Ling!"

Something funny happened. HAHAAH. I brought home the hand bouquet..

The sisters put it up for sale at $150. =D Expensive task 1.

Task 2: To finish the sour-sweet-bitter-spicy cubes specially prepared by the sisters.

Task 3: Use their foot to pick up the main door's key!

It wasn't over, there were indoor tasks too.

First, to translate some lovely message from mandarin to hokkien. Then a song and dance item, followed by another ang bao haggling session for 'open sesame'!

Tadah! The groom got in! Gave the bride a kiss, ate glutinous rice balls and out they went!

Took photos for family, sisters and brothers.

Off we went to groom's place in the west for tea ceremony.

I realised he wasn't wearing his corsage. LOLS! Pinned it for him..

Family photo again...

And to our own place @ 550. Tristan was so happy jumping on our bed. I changed into the cheongsum for tea ceremony for my side.

Evening came.. our emcees, Ivy & Alvin met for their first time. They rehearsed and had nasty plans to sabotage the us. The guys prepared the venue for our ROM while I was getting my face powdered.

After the 'I do', we took many pictures with many friends. Guests started streaming in... one by one, group by group.. I actually mingled and took many pictures with them before the banquet commenced. =)

Our first march in with the new style traditional wedding march song. =)

Cut the cake. 2nd march in, pop the champagne.

And the emcees did sabotage us! They wanted a song and dance from us. We sang a duet and left the dancing part to my parents (they were sabotaged by their friend, hehe!). =D

Moved from table to table for phototaking, sat down for some food and prepared for 'Byebye ceremony' when the last dish was served. I was sulking at the thought of missing my yam paste dessert... TK knew and immediately got me one bowl!

From that day forth, a new journey began.

With love.
