Valentine's Day cum Birthday flowers

Dar bought me a lovely bouquet of flowers today. He remembered I like champagne roses. However, he could not choose the accompanying flowers that came in a package. Thanks, Dar for the effort!

Rodger & Hammerstein's Cinderella

Watched Rodger & Hammerstein's version of Cinderella starring Lea Salonga last Saturday at the Esplanade Theatre with hubby. Have always loved classic fairytales, though I prefer Disney's version of the same fairytale. Especially love the songs in Disney's version like 'A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes', 'Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boo', 'Cinderella' and 'Sing Sweet Nightingale'. These songs are very familiar to me cos' I've been listening to them since I was a child and during PL's 75th anniversary, we staged an abridged version of Cinderella complete with the original songs and a real carriage. The carriage was even on display in the primary school's garden during the Open House in the evening. That event was really memorable as I played the part of a firefly in another performance, representing my CCA. That year was also a year where many other events took place, tho' they were not so pleasant.

Eleanor's & Leonard's Wedding

21 Dec:

Was a jiemei at two good friends' wedding. Husband was a brother for the groom. Day started early and almost couldn't wake up as I attended a wedding banquet the night before. Nonetheless, managed to pull myself out of bed and reached Eleanor's place way before 8 am and was the first of the five jiemeis to arrive.

Groom and his brothers arrived at 9 am and was 'tortured' by the jiemeis before they could enter the house. Day went about with lots of photo-taking and tea ceremony at both the groom's and bride's parents' homes. Went back to rest at about 2 pm and then arrived at hotel at 6 pm to prepare the fondue machine for the cocktail reception.

Banquet started punctually at 8 pm and we had a whale of a time with the toasting and games to 'sabo' the bride and groom. Dinner ended at 10:30 pm. Hubby and i didn't stay for the partying as both of us had to work the next day.

Jocelyn's & Gabriel's Wedding

Attended Jocelyn's & Gabriel's wedding on 20 Dec. The day began with a church ceremony at the Church of St Vincent de Paul. Lunch reception followed and Jocelyn changed from her ceremonial white wedding gown into a red tea ceremony dress. After the lunch reception, April and I each made our way home and we met up again for the dinner at Swissotel Fairmont. Dinner was a feast with good food, good service and of course, great company! We were seated just below the stage so we had a pretty good view of the going-ons. During the second march-in, Jocelyn walked in in a stunning blue cheongsam. Very good workmanship I must say and very sexy!

Jessie - My Toughie Dog

Jessie has brought countless joy to my family members and me. She's one tough cookie. She can play and slip on the floor tiles, accidentally knock against the furniture or wall and will still pick herself up to play. Yesterday, while cutting her fingernails, my sister acidentally cut too deep in and her nail bled. Fist-aid was immediately rendered and measures taken to stop the blood flow. Shortly after the blood stopped flowing, Jessie walked around the house and her nail started bleeding again. However, she looked as if she felt no pain or discomfort and was oblivious that she was staining the floor tiles with her blood. Again, first-aid was rendered and she was made to stay still. Even when I came home, she wanted to rush out to greet me. She was still as hyperactive as ever. She's really a toughie! Way to go, Jess, my baby gal!

Our Weekends

Dar and I went to Takashimaya last weekend to do some window shopping and to check the prices of some bags I wanted. We proceeded to TCC after that for some coffee and I took a special liking to the moose head on head. After some cajoling, Dar agreed to have his photo taken below the moose's head. I decided to have a shot with the antique coffee machine.

Today, we went to Ju Shin Jung Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant just opposite Haw Par Villa. See the spread of side dishes we had? So yummy. Can refill and they are free...hehehe. We had beef bulgogi, marinated chicken pieces and mushrooms (my fav!). Desserts were nice and refreshing too...watermelon (in heart-shaped) and a cold sweet ginger drink (gingerly spicy yet sweet). Shiok!

Minjun's & Shicong's Wedding - 6 Dec 2008

If you were not there at Minjun's & Shicong's wedding luncheon, here are some pics to share. Yes, they have come a long way since JC1 and they are now MARRIED! Congrats to the both of them! Sadly, only 5 of us from the class turned up to attend their wedding. Yes, some of you are excused (work, overseas), but really must applaud Chee Yong for making an effort to return from Perth to attend this joyous event yesterday at Orchard Hotel. Who's to expect that the 'worst' student in class is on his way to obtaining a PhD! Those of us who turned up had a good time reminiscing about our good ol' days. And yes, we saw our class photo during the video montage...haha...sure brings back fond memories of our days of fun, laughter, sadness, stress, 'suaning', etc etc. Here are some pics of the event...ENJOY!

Disney Show @ Indoor Stadium

I'm a BIG, BIG Disney fan! Becos' hubby knows this, we went to watch Disney Live! - Three Classic Fairy Tales. On 21 Dec evening, we had the company of Mickey & Minnie Mice, Goofy & Donald as well as Snow white, Cinderella, Belle and their respective princes. We had a really enjoyable evening and who's to know, we bumped into David's classmate, his wife and son. It's really a coincidence where a week ago we bumped into them at VivoCity. That very night where April saw hubby and I too on her way to St. James Powerhouse with her cousin. So I guess there's still a child in me! I really lurve Disney....wahahaha!!!

Here are some pics as evidence of our presence...
