Dear Bloggie,

I have been hardworking, and has updated many many events all within the weekend. This post is specially dedicated to my Best Girlfriend, Karen. =)

Happy Birthday Darling!

29th November 2008 (Saturday) - Karen's Birthday

Meet up with Bestie at Hougang and we took the Northeast line to Outram MRT...


A rather blurred picture... The train is moving you see, and we have to do it w/o flash.

I... forgot to take a photo of the restaurant... Hope this suffice. I made an appointment at Ember @ Hotel 1929. Well, not too sure if I could classify this as fine dinning, but this definately one of the more classy meal I've had...

After we have placed our orders with the very helpful and friendly waitress, we are served bread... This bread is tasty! It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside... Yummy..

Whle waiting for food... The lighting here is very soft and warm. Excellent for taking photos as it makes us pretty!

Our appetizers.. We had this Fried Tofu dish (which is my favorite), this Scallop with Greens dish (scallop super fresh and the girls L0ve the greens and its dressing), this Crabcake dish (ermm.. so-so only) and the Foie Gras (which Bestie adore, but too jelak for me).

Bestie and QH had this Terriyaki Codfish as their main... It's too well-marinated hence its a little too salty for them. But still, I still quite like it. =)

And this is what I and the Bdae girl ordered... Pan-seared Seabass. It is delicious, and the rugout consist of bacon and mushrooms. Its okie at first, but as I was more then 1/2 way through the meal, I find the bacon a tad too salty and the whole rugout a little too oily for my liking. But nevertheless, its still nice. But I still prefer the Appetizers. =)

Thou the servings looked small, but somehow all four girls are full to the beam and I'm serectly glad that we have ordered only 2 Deserts to share. We have the Chocolate Fondant and the Apple Tart, both served with a single scoop of yummy Vanilla Ice-cream. The Chocolate Fondant is on the bitter side, but it complement the Ice-cream perfectly; the Apple Tart is on the too sweet side...

After the meal, its Present Time! Well, I am glad that she like the Present.

After dinner, we adjorned to KTV...

The lovely girls who have an extremely important place in my heart...

Karen's guy came down at 12mn to join us.. And he brought a cake with him. A cake over-flowing with Love. He had asked his friend to have it specially custom made for him.. His late for this gathering as his at the Bakery, waiting for the cake to be done. Awww... so sweet. (I'm not refering to the cake... I'm refering to the guy. =p)

Making a wish and cutting the cake... Look at the smile on her face; it's not too difficult to guess what the girl wished for...

The Blissful couple... =)

A photo taken at Ember @ Hotel 1929 to end this post... Friends Forever Darlings! We will not only be there to celebrate your 25th Birthday together, but our 50th and 75th togather.. =)

Dear Bloggie,

22nd November 2008 (Saturday)

Jo Lin's Wedding Day!

This is a photo-intensive post.. =)

Bride has requested for all of us to be dressed in white... Bestie and whoever reading this that wants me to help out as your 姐妹, please do not make me wear white again. I look awfully fat!

姐妹 getting all the props ready for the Groom and his 兄弟。。We are quite well-prepared!

女人认真最美丽。。 =)The pretty 姐妹s of the day...

Double security for the door... We really mean business. =p

Before the Groom and his 兄弟 can reach this far, we have already made them wore paper undies and get signatures on the paper undies from strangers downstairs... This is no easy feat as there isn't much of a crowd at 8.30am on a Saturday. And we also make them climb 6 storeys high, posing at each level with the paper undies and moustach. So by the time they reach the door, they are all perspiring like mad...

But nevertheless, want to get through the door, 红包绝对不能少!

The guys still in their paper undies..

The guys are supposed to pass a Polo sweet with the shorten Yakult straw provided... But the guys deemed that as a sissy game! So they improvise our game, and pass the sweet directly from mouth to mouth! Super onz!!

Next Groom is to form a 5 letter word with whatever accessories they have with them... Once again, 兄弟s are damn onz! They not only come with tissue papers, handphones, cirgrettes, lighters, pens and even shoes and socks!

This is what we got from the Groom the first time round... After following up with a 2nd 红包, and due to the pressing time.. We relented and let them Groom in. =)

Here comes the Groom!

Some formality with Jo's Mum... Auntie very happy that day!

The guys finally made it into the house! Quite a number of them... 8 in total. So what are the guys so focus on.. Ans: The fan.

Just when they thought its over... But well, its still too early. =p

Hehe... Guess which is the key to the Bride's room?

The guys played punk!! They simple snatch and go... A commotion.

And after so much... The Groom finally got to meet his lovely Bride!

One more step before he could kiss his lovely Bride. =) The Bride had prepared a Wedding Contract! Smart girl... =p Groom is supposed to read out loud and acknowledge in front of the Bride and everyone else.. This is no easy feat, as the Groom cant exactly do English.


Here's a short clip... 这就是所谓的兄弟轻深!连取老婆都要出手相助。。 =)

Finally... Its all done. =)

The blissful couple... Eric and Jo.

We made our way to Eric's house.

What awaits us is more surprises... =) The brothers stayed up very late the night before to blow up all these ballons to decorate the common area, and also prepared the 'smoke-effect'... Its actually quite lovely. First time I see the Groom and his brothers putting in so much effort.

Even the corridoor outside the house has been nicely done up!


After tea ceremony at Groom's house, the Bride changed into her tea dress and we made our way back to the Bride's house... Tea ceremony at the Bride's House...

Super fat in white! Please ladies.. No more white for 姐妹. And with this picture, we call it a day for the morning ceremony. I took a cab over to TL's house and started preparing for the dinner in the evening.

TL and me... And yupz! I'm in black... *smile*

Me with the pretty Bride! =)

My best pals at SW... HY, TL and me.

And with this last picutre... My entry will come to an end.

在这,我要祝福这对新人白头偕老,用结同心,早生贵子!

Note: HY, when's your turn?? =p
