Our Engagement Photoshoot (Part 2)

One of the reasons why I had this idea to do this, is that it is more common for couples to do an engagement photoshoot rather than a pre-wedding photoshoot.  The difference is that engagement photoshoot is casual, and the couple does not wear the actual gown and suit.  I love the fact that when couples get married here, the groom sees his bride for the first time in her gown on the wedding day.  When I saw how Ben teared when he saw Gabby walking down the aisle in her lovely gown, it was such a beautiful moment I remember from their wedding.  Not to say we won't have any wedding shots, but as of now, I think I'd prefer a post wedding shoot.  Or shots taken on the actual day maybe.  Not sure yet, too early to decide now haha

3) St. Paul's Cathedral

This is a beautiful and majestic cathedral.  K's office overlooks the cathedral, and it is a 10min walk for me from my old office.  We used to meet on the steps and walked to the nearest Malaysian Cafe to have dinner, which is another 10min walk from there.  We were disrupted last October when the protestors camped outside the cathedral for months, and and had to meet somewhere else instead.  I'm feeling rather sad that we can't meet there after work anymore, unless I travel in to the city.  Oh well, so I told Liezel this is a special place for us, and she said we gotta do it!

We brought her to the secret rooftop we used to meet too, and the view blew her away.  She was so excited and said she would definitely come back again.  I suggested sunset because to see the sun setting over the dome is breathtaking.

Let the photos begin :)

Almost all my friends comment how they love this picture.











Overall a very fun but tiring day.  Who knew posing for photos could be this tiring? :)  It was my idea to start with, and really, all thanks to Liezel our dedicated photographer, and I have to give credit to K for being the dedicated driver and his energy throughout the day.  I was told guys do not like taking photos, and to last for so many hours .. well done K!

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'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
