Cousin's Wedding

We were invited to cousin's wedding today. It was held at the Upper Club in CHIJMES. That place seems cool. I like the live band performance and also that the photos taken by the photographers could be collected on the spot. There was also a live display of photos taken on the projection screen, uploaded within minutes. This was the very idea I have for my wedding but too bad, time did not permit us to make arrangements for this. Sigh, if only I know earlier that such a company exists...

Rescue Operation - PC

Finally, I manage to get CP to move her PC from her parents' to our place. Now she can finally access her files. However, it was a major cleanup for the PC. It's choked with dust, about the worst I've ever seen. So now we know who has got a higher tolerance for dirt, dust and so on ...

Housewarming

Hee hee, we finally had our first official housewarming, 4 months after we moved into our house! The guests were my ex-colleagues from DSO. Dinner was served, master chef is DC (of course, haha). We had BBQ chicken wings for the starter, pizza for the main course and ice-cream for the desert. DC and I went marketing just hours before they arrived and hence, the ingredients were all fresh. I hope they enjoyed the dinner that we prepared specially for them.

I guess our first housewarming is a success, no complains so far :P ... the credit goes to DC. I have to thank DC for being a good and thoughtful host.

To our guests, Thanks guys for coming and thanks for the great gift! We hope you have an enjoyable visit. :)

Naughty By Nature

DC and I were invited to this studio by the name of Naughty By Nature (NBYN) for a free lifestyle photo shoot comprising of 2 changes of clothes and makeup. We found the studio very different from the others that we went to and had actually enjoyed the photo session very much. It was a fun process which reminded us of our wedding shoot months ago. However, it was the last stage that quite put us off. A male sales staff almost immediately changed his attitude after he could not convince us to purchase the package. He was very inflexible too as he would not allow us to purchase extra photos. So much so for the invitation. There was not much left of the good impression that we had (up to the photo shoot). Lesson learnt: There is no free lunch in this world. There is always a catch somewhere! So, beware!

Home-baked Pizza

Yup, DC tried baking a pizza for dinner today and there was campbell soup also. It was a good try but the pizza was too big for both of us to finish. The one quarter that is left would not go to waste...it would be our breakfast tomorrow. :)

The World Cup Craze

The 4-year-once World Cup is here and everyone around us is crazy about the score, us included. We followed the matches closely even when we were in Bali and here's the proof! Ha ha!



Take a look at Coffee Bean's new creation! Doesn't the round thing on top of the cake resembles a soccer ball? Nice taste, all football fans should try it. :)

We are back from Bali! :)

We are back from our Bali Trip! :) Sure we have waited very long for this trip but it was really worthwhile. What a great romantic trip and we had such a good getaway!

Here are some pictures we took on the Indonesian island:

Pauline's Wedding

Another one of my good friends has gotten married. She's next after DC and me and Wow! The past 4 months does fly! In a blink of eye, her wedding at Holiday Inn Park View was over.

We had an enjoyable time at her dinner. The ambience was good. Food was not too bad, portion was just right but the Chinese waiter that served us was not up to our expectation. When asked for red wine, he gave me sprite (he could not understand English well) and served the dishes too slowly. It's a pity we had to skip our dessert as our cab has arrived before it was served. No wonder DC couldn't stand it and scolded him.

Dinner at Ivin's

We had dinner at Ivin's at Thomson Road. I always wanted to try the food there especially hearding from one of my colleagues that the food there was quite good. I finally had the chance, all thanks to Fathers' Day! Food there was not too bad but the portion was too little. Hope Father-in-law enjoyed the food. Guess he did cos he is a curry-lover. :)

Early Fathers' Day Celebration

We had our Fathers' Day celebration today at Toa Payoh's Sakura Restaurant. It was a buffet. All of us had a full stomach at the end of the meal! :) The initial plan was to go next-door K-box crooning but everyone's heart is at the World Cup and so we rush home to monitor the results for the 9pm match. In the end, we were very disappointed in the Argentina vs Serbia & Montenegro's 6-0 score.
