saturday was spent with my loved ones, and his loved ones

we were invited to tea at Ang's  by Gina & we played rummikub! :) it's been ages since we last played together & we've become so rusty haha

Kimchi met his other kimchi friend and i tagged along for dinner at Damotory (Robertson Walk) 

& to celebrate Nick's flirty dirty thirty,Som decided on moutaches and crazy eye makeup for the theme.

we were invited to their beautiful and cosy apartment

yummy and generous servings of canapes greeted us at the entrance

these 2 make the cutest crazy couple 

i was kinda skeptical about the popcorn cake but the moment we had a slice, we couldn't stop popping!

it's delish and fun, great idea for future cakes

one pic for the road!

Moustachy Saturday

---

we were blessed with a lovely blue sky this morning

off to tiong bahru cos we were gonna meet friends at GWC for lunch

croissants at Tiong Bahru Bakery ( next to Orange Thimble) 

would love to try a lil bit of everything though!

 lunch was another happy occasion 

demanded the story of the proposal & i have to agree 

this is def the year of engagements and weddings!! 

dinner was home-cooked porridge with lobsters, mum said lobsters at the wet market were 4 for $55!

what a steal! :) 

& kimchi has a new phone

i was surprised to find that  the camera (both outer & internal lens)for the samsung galaxy s3 was so much better than the iphone4S

he sent me this pic which i had used to camwhore (obviously) in the car 

 & he drew  hearts and a crown around the frame

these days iphone users like me depend heavily on apps for frames & stickers ,

so im gonna give him some props for attempting to doodle & making me smile

sa-ra in hangeul with an 'o' at the bottom becomes "sarang" 

:) hehe

the new week lays ahead, gonna check those emails on Monday proper!

week in review

it's been a long week and unfortunately we're about to start another one but at least for me, there'll be something to look forward to on friday which is my flight off to Tokyo. tokyo will be part work and part fun so i'm looking forward to shopping and eating :)

midweek, lance was nice to bring along homemade ottolenghi kisir for lunch

it was very healthy.... haha really yummy too

in between parts of craziness both at work and out, i've managed to check out the new le bistrot du sommeliar

they just moved to 53 armenian street and for j and myself it was rather sad seeing how it is now. however the food is still as good. we started off with duck rillete and chicken liver. thankfully our order of broken eggs did not come as we were seriously heading towards full before the mains arrived. next off were the cote de beouf and lamb of the day. it was amazing. ddokpokki was being extremely indulgent and ordered 2 bottles of 2006 Chateau haut-marbuzet, a french red that was able to break my sworn promise off alcohol after a crazy night out. j decided she had space for dessert and ordered an apricot souffle

on sat morning, i had a really bad craving for sandwiches and just as i was abt to msg jeanette, she contacted me too so i made my virgin trip to tiong bahru bakery. (this was also coz lance had gone there earlier in the week and i really liked their squid ink baguette and really wanted to try their sandwishes)

i wouldnt mind taking the trip up again really soon as i fell in love with their squid ink bun. croissant's alright, i still prefer the now closed down mirabelle but for a croissant craving, i'll definitely head there. atmosphere and coffee does help with a reason to go :)

have a great week ahead! see you guys after tokyo

removable what?

this is pic of a removable shield on a stacked loafer by YSL

and below is a pic of removable ankle cuffs by an aussie website

i'm seriously  thinking about those ankle cuffs lol :X

a Celebration of Samadhi's & Matt's love

samadhi's been a good friend since my teens. i was first introduced to her by my dad as her dad worked with mine. she was this really sweet, gracious girl from aussie and opened to new adventures including a stint at ywam singapore that involved her staying in the middle of our red light district, geylang. over the years, we've not actually manage to meet after her move back to aussie and me in LA. however, ever since moving back to sg, she's come by sg a few times and even if it's only for a few hours, i'll try and see her. thank goodness for technology too as we now whatsapp/bb at least once a week.


it was absolutely sweet of her to ask me to be her bridesmaid and even thou i kept turning her down knowing i will not be able to help out in anyway, she persisted and i eventually relented and accepted the honour. 31st march 2012 was the most inspiring wedding ever -  it was simple, relaxing (which was a first for me) and filled with love from family and friends and most of all the couple.samadhi was a gorgeous bride and i had so much fun, it was difficult to leave the next day. as per the previous post, i really didn't know anyone except for the bride and her parents but yet all the other family and friends all made me feel so welcome, it was an absolute joy to be present and to be part of this.


everything involved family and friends - the photographer, flourist and hairdresser were all good friends of aunty donalee. in fact the hairdresser flew in specifically for this wedding. it was a great gathering of friends. the flowers were left in aunty donalee's bedroom the night before and brought in the day of. everything was perfectly planned, with time for flexibility. it went pretty smoothly especcially since alot of things were improvised upon last minute

the morning started at 730 for krissy as she was the first to get her hair done... this was taken at breakfast, samadhi the ever glowing bride. the boys had an early morning surf session... yes it was that relaxing.

our hair

then it was off back to the bridal room for the rest of the day... we took turns to get our hair and makeup done and just bummed around reading gossip magazines and watching the movie bridesmaid

charlotte and brooke also took this opportunity to get their nails done with last minute stick ons!

the rings... for different occasions including the gorgeous engagement ring

the boys boutonnieres (i flew in with the orchids from sg a week before and was amazed they kept the shape and colour!)

the bride's shoes

the bride's hair

the dress

sam and her parents

finally the finished product - samadhi looking radiant and amazing. she was every bit how i've imagined her to be on her wedding day

at 315, a little golf cart picked us up to bring us up to the area where the ceremony was to be held

then it was up those stairs towards the awaiting guests and guys on a platform overlooking noosa's gorgeous beach and water

photos before moving off to the next item on our list

then it was off to the beach for the photoshoot! (these photos havent been edited before... and they turned out absolutely amazing)

while we were at the beach, the guests had cocktails and mingled around. then it was dinner time.

the set up was very simple and pretty

food was good and entertainment that night included Caleb singing, garter removal, dancing and towards the end was the guest forming a little tunnel for the bride and groom to walk through

this post is for both samadhi&matt... wishing them a wonderful life together filled with love, joy, laughter and mutual respect and support :)
