My best friend's wedding



















Yesterday was the wedding of one of my best friends and I was roped in to be one of her bridesmaids (my first time!) together with the rest of our girly gang. It was a very fun but super duper tiring day for us. The day started at 6am. We went over to her place and prepared the stuff for the"gatecrashing games". The groom and his brothers were scheduled to reach at 7.20am. There are so many traditional rituals involved in a Chinese wedding. Don't ask me coz I have no idea man! In fact, we were saying a few generations down the road, all these traditions might be lost altogether.

The guys arrived on the dot and Wen's mum was so eager to welcome her new son-in-law that she kept edging us to open the door for him! Finally they went thru the games and the groom was ready to see his gorgeous bride.

The church wedding was very touching for me, especially when Wen's dad walked her down the aisle. Very beautiful.

By the time for dinner, we were all sooo tired man. The bride looked so zombiefied in the hotel room too.

There were more than 500 guests for the wedding dinner. Corinne was the chinese emcee, Zhu was the IT co-ordinator, Cin and myself were the receptionists.

my fav photo of the night! :P



Overall, it was a very smooth wedding day. Everything was on time and proceeded very smoothly. We say Wen can be a wedding planner now!

Congratulations again, Liwen and Darrel! :)

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Our Seoul Adventure (Part 1)

Gosh life has been non-stop since coming back from Seoul.  Work has been very busy, and then Izzy had stomach flu and I was a bit under the weather too.  With this, one month just zoomed passed. Been meaning to continue our Seoul adventure. Day One To be honest we had a rocky start on the first day.  Our 2am flight was delayed till 3am and we were super groggy when we got on the plane.  Kids were sleeping and we had to wake them up.  The stewardess served us food at 4am and we had no appetite whatsoever.  Made worse by the turbulence which scared us so much.  I think in total we each slept about 4h that night.  So thankful that our kids love traveling and did not whine, but i did feel like i floated out of that plane into Incheon airport.  My original plan for Day One was to explore the palace area, have the famous ginseng chicken soup, and then visit the Bukchon hanok village.  Followed by a nice Korean BBQ for dinner.  The mo...
