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! :)

Jubilee Weekend | Afternoon Tea Party

http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/ Today is the end of the Jubilee celebrations and how better to end it off than to have an afternoon tea party in the company of friends, while watching the celebrations on our TV. It has been quite an emotional afternoon, in the good sense of course. I don't think I've ever seen Queen Elizabeth on TV (and heard the national anthem God Save the Queen) more than these 3 days combined, but this Jubilee weekend has made me grew to love and admire this lady. She is 86 and reminds me so much of my own granny, and her strength is amazing. Imagine being sworn in as queen at the age of 26. (I mean, what was I doing when I was 26?) On Sunday when she and Prince Philip went onboard the Spirit of Chartwell boat to watch the River Pageant, it was cold and windy but they stood throughout the 3 hours event. It was said she was offered some hot tea and a seat, which she both said no to. I love my grandma but I have to say I don't think

Sleep, baby sleep

I had an idea to blog about Isabelle's sleep behaviour the other day. Before having Isabelle, I had not the slightest idea how big the sleep topic is for a baby, and now a toddler. I merely assumed that babies will sleep, no matter what, right? Because they are tired right? No, of course not. Isabelle showed me how much she could and can fight sleep even when she is tired. As a new mum, I did not know how to read her sleepy signs, and more often than not, she would be overtired by the time I catch her signs and by then she is cranky and crying. Oh the tears. From Isabelle and mummy. The early months Sleep has always been an issue for me when Isabelle was born. She cried non stop every evening for hours on end, and we had no idea what to do with her. Colic was the word most used on such babies, and everyone comforted us that this difficult phase would be over within 3 months. I still remembered uttering "3 months?!" under my breath. Not 3 weeks?

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 role of Monsieur Bertrand, a f
