The Soon's

WE ARE, Officially MR & MRS Soon!

The stress is off our shoulder, i'm finally eating like my usual self. Can you believe it, i LOST 4 kgs!!! (and i bet merv put on weight) My clothes are so loose now, even my red evening gown was quite loose (and i've altered it few days before the wedding) we have to say thank you to our friends and family.. YES, of course especially to those who have traveled across the world to be with us in Malaysia and in Chiangmai!

I think our wedding was very successful, (hehe) though we had a lil' hic cup, like our videographer was 1 hour and 45 minutes late. He was supposed to be at our house at 7am, but due to his malfunction of ALARM CLOCK, and if we didn't call at 8am. He probably missed our whole wedding. BUT because he was late, me and the girls managed to take some BEAUTIFUL photos with our BEAUTIFUL umbrellas. I must say, the umbrellas were a GREAT hit! Guest wanting to bring them home. Sorry, we only have 30 pieces, and even that, it was a 'SOLD OUT'.. by the end of the dinner, it was all taken!

My HAIR and FLOWER went hay wire, probably because i wasn't any ordinary bride, i was excited and FULL of energy! Either that, rose was super heavy, before the groom arrived, it fell off from my hair, *boo hoo* then before i arrived the groom's house, my veil and hair all fell apart. Thank god i told myself things like this would happen, no matter how organised us brides are, disasters are bound to happen depending big or small. SO i consider this a small issue lah. My girls were there to rescue, and thankful of PeiMing & Craven's Alphard, we had enough space for the girls to sit behind and help me with the hair, we had to say byebye to the heavy rose.. :(

I was too tired to eat anything for lunch, too tired to eat our yummy dinner.. stomach was empty to drink any of the wine. LUCKY i have Su Ann as my sister in law, who came into the room in the morning and gave me this AWFUL tasting chicken essence, that probably gave me the energy to not faint on our wedding day. (i had it when i was in Chiangmai too)


We felt so much love on the 24th October, our great wonderful friends, they made the wedding smooth and "colourful". A lot of fun and laughter all in one day. (i'll do my thanks of a separate blog) Our childhood montage is a present from Clement, Jon, Danny, Kevin and Alvin. Thanks guys! we love you so-so much, and everybody loves the video. Also thanks to David, from Munching Monsters!











am now looking forward to Edwin and Wendy's wedding, it's now our turn to enjoy the evening. *hehe*

16 more days

and i can feel pimples are popping out! stress dots invading my face!


i need to go to the florist, to settle my hair piece, flowers for corsages, thinking of getting centerpiece for the Table No 1. cause i saw the taitong's fake flowers looks so miserableeee... and *-ugly...

oh my seating arrangement is all settled!! i think we did pretty well. Hopefully we don't get any complains later on, but... ... will see how it goes. :P

We settled our photos with the bridal shop, so next week we get the photo album. YAY!! oh, and Cashyn from Wedding Couture is nice, she agreed to give me car ribbons for the heng dai! and some chinese stickers too! At first she didn't wanna give me, but i guess since we've created a 'special' bond, she agreed.

i'm brain dead right now. all i can think of is i have only 1 weekend left to the wedding, since this weekend i have my FRUIT CARVING course. *sighs*. 5 full days classes. i hope i graduate with flying colours that i can carve something nice for the centerpiece!

My ji Muis are the best! they are super brainstorming on how to torture the boys! and the boys are like waiting to take their revenge on 24th night. :)

and though we had our hen's trip. the girls are planning for a hen's night!! 14th Oct, we're going mambo jumbo. YAY! i think the night out its more for the girls to have fun.. and hoping to get me drunk. but i don't want to end up puking and getting dragged out from the club.. i wanna walk out stunning. and yet, they don't care. how evil.



*thinks that weddings are bad for health - it causes high blood pressure, hyper tension, shoulder aches, pimple outbreaks, insomnia, nightmares .. many more..

25 days to go

on saturday.. we went to the restaurant, paid the balance of deposit, finalised the menu, we wanted to change our soup, even if its 'hoi mei tong' sea smell soup.. hahaha.. it's some seafood soup (sea cucumber etc) or 'fat tiu chong' buddha jump over the wall soup.. we had to pay additional rm100 - 200 per table. and we thought okay, we opt for double boiled chicken herbal soup. we had to pay rm60 per table.. so.. yes, we're sticking to our shark fin soup without shark fin. -_-

then... we went to old klang road, the auspicious house at 3rd mile square to buy our bridal room accesories.. like the baby tubs etc, and the bedside lamps.. and mervin bought the dowry stuffs. traditional yet simplified. not cheap though, we spent about rm250 there.

last night, we drove pass a new china store, in taman mayang opposite KJ lrt station, its called Fun & Cheer, they have the red umbrellas for sale at a very reasonable price, below rm20. I think its rm14.80. They have a few pricing.. At living cabin, it's rm29.90.. or is it rm19.90. hmm.. but anyway, fun & cheer has really really cheap 'double happiness' logo stickers at rm0.80 only!! - rm2.80! really really cheap. they even have confetti for sale from rm4- rm9. wedding tea pots not very cheap, rm58.80.




we've been staying home cleaning and clearing a house that is filled with 25 year old hand me downs.


we're almost done, and mervin has done a really good job!



i heart u, fatty.

29 days

Let the countdown begin! and the heart beat stops beating!
_
mommy and future mommy doesn't really like the cupcake idea. *aihh*
_
their comments was: so expensive
_
what should i do? paid rm100 for deposit, should i change it to the typical cake, change it to tarts or don't care and just go ahead with cupcakes?
_
_
we're gonna have nasi lemak for lunch on the 24th October 2009. it is safe, and it's almost every Malaysian's favourite food. So we can't go wrong with that.
_
_
29 days before the wedding, i finished doing my part of the guest list and seating arrangement. *phew* i feel it is my toughest part in the whole wedding process. and how i wish every group are in TENS. ^_^ and the world is really at peace and harmony that we can put anybody and everybody on one table and they would enjoy the food together and go home happy ...
_
_
I'm thinking of not wearing the white wedding gown at night, and straight away wear my red evening gown. what say you?
_
_
In a few days time, we can go view our photos again before the bridal shop send it for printing! *fingers crossed* i hope their design is according to our request. simple, natural and black and white.
_
_
_
_
_
_
OMG! i just receive a text. 4 more pax going to Chiangmai! wonders if i can start a fund raising for mattress and pillows.

Be there Be red

a conversation between me and one of merv's workers at Cempaka Village:
YU: are you pregnant?
me: nooo..
YU: one month?
me: noooooo..
Yu: then, why are you getting married??
-__-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


we don't have any fancy names to call our wedding night, it's not movie red carpet night (though i didn't mind the red carpet) .. it's not a hello kitty wedding .. it's not a snowflake fairytale wedding, etc etc..

but we thought at least to have a theme colour.. so its RED! .. red is not my most favourite colour.

But i thought it really has a good contrast, it's happy, shows passion, desire, and love!!

Bought my super red umbrella from Chiangmai.. only for 75BAHT! (it helps if you speak thai and you know where to get it, they were selling it for 150Baht elsewhere) anyway RM16 is still real cheap compared to the one i wanted to buy from London 20pounds/Belgium 20euro.
we have mini red and pink umbrellas for only 20Baht to help passion-up the restaurant
red is so lovely.. and it looks good in photos too :P
red bouquet, red umbrellas, red petals, red cards, red drapes, red evening gown, red car decor red just married car plate....

red is hot n seeeexxxxyyy!!



Many people has asked me if it's a must to wear red.. welll.. it's not a must.. but i guess it would be lovely for the morning session? for photos sake and it definitely looks like a happy happy occassion :) At night i shall release you from the RED nightmare.. and you can wear any colour you look pretty in..

except black though. mommy hates hates black.


see ya red-ter! hugs n kisses
xoxo

the cards are out!!



we're LOVING every bit of the card.


It's simple, it's red, it's so chinese, it's oriental, AND it's so cheap affordable! hahahahahhaa!


We spent about RM200 to print our 230 pieces wedding cards.


We wanted 25 tables, small cozy wedding, but it's been expanding, and hasn't stop, same goes for the Thai wedding.. smallest, to small to smallbig to big to bigger to biggsmall.


i don't make any sense i know. i never do.


we had a gal's night out last night, went to 'the library' at cineleisure now known as e@curve i thought it was another scarlet, but it's not too bad.. live band on selected days, which i don't remember now, good promo on happyhour, nice big comfy chairs, half open air.. non alcoholic drinks is at reasonable pricing at good size glass. (hopefully they stay that way)


Anyway.. we were discussing on how to play torture the heng tais! ngek ngek ngek! me so excited i count myself in as a JI MUI! haha! too bad i've to peep from the window.


you know, i couldn't sleep last night, just thinking about the games we're gonna play i mean the ji muis.. .. *evil grin*


I have exactly 1 month and 9 more days to go! kelly asked me how am i feeling, right now, i feel excited about the games, a drag just thinking about the seating arrangements and guest list..


Somehow i just don't wanna think about the wedding is just a few weeks away.. but i also want it to come quick and 'get over and done with'.. keke.. yes, my dad feels i've lost my enthusiast too.


BUT... it's all goooooodd... just remember to *breathe*

Happy Sweet 18, SweeFong. :)


Yes, super indenial but i love it.

Something really funny happen yesterday, my husband to-be, forgot my age!

He did this :

Mervin Soon somebody is older tomm... =) big 3 0


I thought he meant someone else, but when i asked him, he said 'you lorrr' he said, you're turning 29 mar, but people don't say their age is 29 (some superstitious belief), so it's 30 lor!

-__-

suddenly he remember, i'm turning 28! must be one of his brain wires connected properly..

Of course, he rectified his FB msg, and announced to the whole world i was turning 28, i made him change it to 18.

muahahahaha!

now he thinks :

Mervin Soon this 'age error' thing will last for at least 7 years.. sigh... old already la...


But i think it's forever. :)

we haven't even celebrate our 1st year anniversary or 10th year anniversary.. and he already forgot his wife's birthday. tsk tsk.


~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~


Last night we had a spontaneous 'come my house night', jemi, ling, mel and alvin came to the house. we did like what our parents did when they were younger, house visiting. sit down, chit chat, and have some non alcohol drinks.

Mervin left his mobile at home, and when i came home, i saw soo many missed calls and soo many messages, so i HELP him check. and saw jemi's msg, 'well?'

and i thought, huh, well what?

then i had to read her next message

Jemima :
Endao. Ling and I dropping over tonight. Can i ask
for ur help to sneak a bday cake into the house to surprise SWEE GONG at midnight.

YES. my supposedly best friend, calls me swee gong. sighs.

Of course after reading the message i'm so happyyyyy and smilingggg and laughingggg.. that i just ruin my own surprise!! i could have played along with her... but the honest me, told her the truth.. hahahaha!

Thank you very much, because of all of you, i will remember this year's 18th birthday for a very very very long time.
daddy bought me 8 birds to release them today

Part of life

Getting married, is not all about just planning for the wedding, but also preparing the new home. Lucky for us, we have a place, so we don't need to find extra cash to buy a place, or renovate the house, buy new furnitures and electrical appliances. (however, the fridge is dying of old age)

We did our first, husband and wife shopping for household stuffs, in Ikea, we bought our new quilt. I forgot how much it was now, above RM100. There's so many new kinda decision making to make, example we had to decide which size we want, queen or king. He complains i snatch the comforter in the middle of the night (which clearly i don't), so we got the king size, then we had to decide the level of warmnest. 1-2 / 3-4 /5-6 . we picked in between.


Last week, we went to Jusco (Jusco is having sales till end of this week), we bought our new bedsheets, pillow cases, quilt cover, new pillows, new bolster. Spend about RM320. And we spend, maybe less than an hour, choosing for our perfect bedsheet. Mervin wanted Red. I wanted white, we ended up choosing cream colour quilt cover and sheets, with red pillow cases. (compromise is the key to a good marriage) It was ONLY bedsheets, but we had to decide on pattern or plain, dark / bright/ pastel colours. then there's pricing, and 250 /280 / 300 thread count. Cotton / Silk.


Now we're done with that, in October we need to get new mattress.

2 months and 3 dreams so far

Does that mean in another month I'll have another dream?

It was at night, and i was in my lovely gown, it was a successful night, everybody came, no empty hall. Everyone was so happy, laughing and drinking.

and suddenly i see my friends taking photo of us, and i was wondering, where's the photographers? i thought i have 2 of them, and why my friends are the one taking photos? and.. i realised, hey, where's the videographer?

Oh crap, where's the photographers and videographer?? THEY FORGOT about my wedding!! i mean, our wedding! :P

And i forgot to call them to remind them!! AISEH. so lousy...

- so, next month, i'll call them to remind them about the wedding. -

3 months to go and 2 dreams so far

I HAD ANOTHER SILLY bride2B DREAM!

But it wasn't as scary as the first dream. haha!

here goes my story for laughs:

I went to pick up my invitation cards, and the lady said, 'sorry worrr.. the card you ordered, we only have 100 pieces' she then shows me, another colored card, 'so you can pick this color for the other half'...

Though i was dreaming, i can feel i gave her a 'wtf' face. hahaha.. ok ok.. maybe more like 'HAAAAAAAAAAA what did you just saiddd'

Oh you don't like ah.. we have it in BLUE too!




*faints*


how many more dreams to go i wonder??

Hen's trip was a success!!


i got all of us a gift - matching beach tops

After months of planning, and waiting... 4th of JULY, came and left..

3 days 2 nights, is wayyyyyyyyyy tooooo shortttttt!!

But what to do, we all had work to return to.

Maybe next time k? LH's hen's trip, we go somewhere again!

Anyway, let me introduce you to the girls (in no special order).. that made it all so fun and memorable!




Ling, my uni mate, met her in 2005 in Canberra. She and Loreen was my first uni friend. :) yes, uni life can be quite lonely at times, especially for me, cos i went there alone to make new alien friends. hahaha~ So Ling was my bestie at uni! never fail to be there when i needed a friend.




LH! she's my high school classmate. Among the 3 closest girls from high school, (the other 2 married and busy with their married lives) she was the only one that can make it for this superb trip of ours. haha! anyway, she's also my bestie!!! (so many besties hor) was always there for me during my weirdest, wildest, craziest, emo-est, moments in school.


J-out! She's my college classmate. She's probably the only girl person from college i still very much keep in contact, almost everyday of our lives (at least we try to keep each other updated) we were always there for each other :)



wenz, ........... hmmm..................... she's an outsider! hahaha, who crashed our party! .. :P she's probably gonna kill me when she reads this. She is J-out's husband's close friend, who we all stole her from him. haha! After months of knowing her, we found out that she's merv's long long long lost lost lost cousin.. Their both in the 'khoo kongsi' clan. sounds like some gangster huh? It's really good to have this kinda thing, so you can trace your long lost relatives.. until today, we don't really know how their related.. but they are lah!



this is siao-cha-boh. kelly, she's J-out's high school classmate, she's the gal who entertain us throughout the trip with her silly and TS acts. she suffered from motion sickness (hence, posing with novomin, her life saver) , she had fever, she was always sleepy and sleeping, and she puked, she had all sorta nonsence lah.. but never failed to make us laugh. :P


As you can see, (this line just reminded me of uni presentation days) haha! , most of the girls doesn't have any connection at all.. they all just have one thing in common, (besides drinking), they all knew me. that's about it.. So me and J was quite nervous about having an awkward group for 3 days and 2 nights.. like they didn't really know each other.. etc etc.. would they all get along.. would they be bored..

Before the trip, we came out and had dinner, introduce girls to girls, had some drinks.. chit chat.. and they talk like they knew each other forever! *phew*

and during the trip.. they were joking, and making fun at each other, no barriers. laughing at each other, and with each other.

SO!! me and J was so glad and so happy (glad n happy same meaning right? lol) to see that sight.. and it was indeed a successful hen's trip.







love this photo! and the moment was super funny as well!

i will never forget,

LH: sweefong you have to trust me ok?

*i took a deep breath*

and also laughing hysterically

SF: ok ok, i trust you, i trust my ji muis.






our trip expenses:

airasia ticket : RM120
3d2n @ fauna perhentian : RM375
beers : RM165
midori : RM98
snacks: RM50
novomin: RM5
beach tops : RM90

I'm so lazy!

So lazy, or so relax?

lazy bride or relax bride.

lol.





*i need to do my guest list!! i wish i can just ask people to give me their names straight away, instead of me cracking my head... it's only 25 tables! may be, the smaller the wedding is, the tougher it is. Cos you don't wanna invite any tom, dick n harry.

my first bride2b nightmare!

Today is freaky friday.

BUT.. it is not a friday 13th.

i dreamt that OMFG!!! i totally forgot to do my guest list (which until today we haven't finish our guest list yet), the hall was pretty empty, only a table of heng tais, closest friends were there, and closest relatives, and no one else, the card was handwritten in BLUE magic pen, and names were spelled wrongly, I even saw a card, Joanna tan was written as Joanna TO. wtf? and it was just scribbles.

AND, i was wearing a really BIG loose short dress, and i ask my galfriend, LH, to help me collect mine, apparently she left hers in my house too, she came back all dress in her dress, and when i ask her, where is mine, she said I THINK its in the cupboard. i was burning up, and WHAT do you mean you THINK? i checked, and no dress in any cupboards, and i ask her did you even brought it with you. all she can say was, I DUNNO, I DUNNO. and let me tell ya about LH, she has this innocent face. and she gave me that look, with I DUNNO I DUNNO. and i was screaming and asking her how can you not know, if you brought it with you or is it in the car, or where is it!

and yes.. she answered, I DUNNO.

i stomp off to my empty hall sat with the other gals, and complain. and suddenly they started complaining about stuffs. all women shouting everywhere.. LH was just so Tulan.

OH. and mervin called me. so i woke up from this terrible dream.

the whole day i was so stress, and my neck was hurting me.

I thought i could just stay home, and rest and finish the guest list... But daddy came and kidnap me, to run some errands..

something has never happen to me, happened today, i almost got run over by a car.

DAMN. i seriously don't know what was running through my mind while crossing the street.

I was waiting for quite a bit, and there was another older lady across the street waiting too, so there was this kind man in a black merz,(1st lane) stopped, so we crossed, as i crossed, on the 2nd lane, suddenly there was a red kelisa zooming at me... everything was so fast, and she didn't seem to even slow down, as if she wanted to run me down on purpose.

i just stopped and stoned, and stared, and not sure what to do next. (seriously. i was at shocked). i really thought, that was it, i'm gonna be hurt badly.

eventhough her car didn't touch me at all, i felt my legs was hurting.

for some reason, i woke up, and run across the street. and she DID emergency stopped, and shook her head and scolded me. i was so stonned and just ran off.

this has never happen to me before.

i was almost in tears.

Just so blur.

*sighs*

i'm in a dillema

A






B




A or B?

s.kitt or the he-she-she-he jaslynn?

s.kitt is RM1000. have paid RM100 deposit. She's like right now pregnant and gonna deliver any minute now.. have to pay for fake lashes. managed to get one free.

jas is RM900.. and.. i didn't ask much.. because i told her i've already have a make up artist.

A Or B??

A or B??????


^_^


A & B???

muahahahaha!

i was thinking if i ask s.kitt, if she can do what Jas did? what you think?


A into B???


@_@




SO MANY PHOTOS!

so many photos to load.. and FB now can upload more than 60 images. So it's all there! go there and view.. :))



i kept my promise!

PHOTOS!! :)



we brought our own camera, photos quality are not up to standard, but not bad for previews. hehe. not sure when can we get the touched up photos.

apparently some bridal shops does not allow you to take photos, but Wedding Couture seems quite cool about it, though i ask the make up artist to help us take a photo, and she said she's not allowed.

I had, 2 indoor wedding gowns, 2 evening gowns, 1 outdoor wedding gown, and 1 traditional chinese costume.

She put 2 bottles of ampoules for me, and for mervin too. (yes, some make up artist have mention, ampoules makes no difference at all, it's just ways to earn our $$) And lots of make up all over my face. It was like the making of geisha!! I was super white, not sure if it was the base or the concealer.





fake lashes makes damn alot of difference!! oh, i found out something gals, my make up artist said that we don't need to stick double fake lashes, but just use one, and pick the drama fake lashes for more drama look, but she cut the lashes into 2 and dunno how she stick it, but it did the job. I told her i want BIG BIG eyes marr.. :P

(another way for them to earn our $$ again, double means pay more mar!) but wedding couture provides free fake lashes, and 'free' hair spray colors, but i just need to pay for ampoules.

we paid in total RM120 for ampoules!! and usually its like RM15-30 for a box of 10 ampoules.

sighs..

what to do, it's once in a life time...









Tuesday, June 30, 2009

SO tired!

we're so exhausted from today, our appointment at wedding couture's studio was at 7am. But we woke up at 620am! LATE LATE LATE. friends who knows us, that's not something new. hehe. we arrived at 730am, i didn't really time the make up artist, but approximately 8ish, we were in the studio snapping our first wedding photos.


i was probably one of the make up artist's (jaslynn) easiest or fussiest customer. depending how she sees it. I told her, i like it to be simple, no big head pieces, natural lips but dramatic eyes, no tiara, no pink or red eye shadows. HAHAHA!

My first look, she gave me a tiara, but when she put it on, i did feel like a princess, she told me it's a simple tiara, not so kua cheong, and it's more like a hair band. So okay lah! i agreed. *giggles*

And when i went up to the studio, i told the photographer (ah D), we want, natural, happy, romantic, and some black and white photos. :P He said, all he will do is, teach us how to pose.. and it's all up to us, to smile naturally, and look happy.. I think we did well, they said we look as if we're doing darlie ads!

Anyway, this is supposed to be a short blog. Cause am so tired...

We came back home at 8pm. :) i took some photos, but.. next blog lah.. i'll post up..

i promise lahh.

Thursday, June 25, 2009

i've chosen my gowns!!

You wanna see my gowns?? ^_^

Wasn't easy picking out ONE favourite gown.. and it's not even selecting for the actual day wedding gown yet, only for the photoshoot, which is next Tuesday!! 5 more days to go!!!

I've trim n dyed my hair to natural color. :)

I've went for my facial, one week before the wedding photo shoot. Advise given from the beautician at slimming sanctuary.

I'm going to do my pedi and manicure this Sunday or Monday.. Gonna just do french manicure. Simple and nice.

We have our shoes.

Mervin has his black slacks. Not sure about his white shirt though! Apparently white shirt is also provided by the bridal shop..


OKAY, no more boring stuffs, and just photos of me and the gowns! :)

(oh this round, i tied up my hair, and put some make up, some advise i read from a wedding magz)


this is merv's favourite, we call it the metalic gown. that makes my boob looks like a size C! I asked Cashyn, the oh-so nice sales assistant of mine, whether i can alter the boobies part, but of cos not, BUT, with today's technology, we can PHOTOSHOP the boobs to be SMALLER! how funny right, people want big boobs and going for boob jobs, i'm photoshopping mine to be smaller!





this is one of my favourite, simple and oh so simple..and .. oh so pretty..
it's my mommy's favourite too... if i can't find anything nice by august, i'll probably pick this for my actual day gown.




beginning of the year, i tried some wedding gowns, and picked this for my actual day wedding gown. i really like the empire waist cut, and the flowy effect.. however its too long for me. and i cant wear super high platforms, i'll be looking like a giant next to mervin! anyway, its a rented gown right, so many brides have worn this, and one person made some not too obvious tiny holes, so it's now an 'outdoor' wedding gown. So i'm gonna wear this for my beach photoshoot.





i showed my dad all the dresses, and he was like, ah ok, and ah this ok, and ok ok, everything ok.. then when i showed him this, aiyah, this like kampung (village) girl only.. :P but i still chose this lah.. me staying true to my roots, kampung girl all the way! yayyy!






i think me and my mom have same taste. we both like this dress very much! :)

Pm said, all my dresses have same cutting, same kind, same same same. hahaha! i didn't notice it before, but nevermind lah.... if not these choices, it would be ah lian kinda dress. me no like leh.


Oh that's all! the other selection is chinese costume, so it's either a QUAH, or a Cheongsam. No need to select or alter. Pick it on tuesday, and probably they just put some pins behind if its too loose.


Oh, and they can photoshop my uneven tanned skin too! :)

Happy 7th year Anniversary!

OMG! has it been 7 years already??

apparently i thought merv forgot about today, because he agreed to swap shifts with his colleague for an afternoon shift!

and i honestly just remembered about today, yesterday. :P Didn't have time to get him anything but a card! at least it's not a FREE E-card. hahaha..

So when i gave him his card this morning, he said mine is at home!!!!!!!! YAY! i have a gift waiting for me at home. I wonder what is it... i hope its not just a card. *giggles*

Great day to remember today, because I'm gonna pick out my wedding gowns. it's the best way to remember our 7th year anniversary... the process of us getting married.

photos from belgium

PHoto BLOg Time! it's 0045 in London now. So sleepy! So no words.. or at least minimum words .. :)

as promised, the matching glasses of belgium!


Lipton Glass with Lipton Tea
(though she had leong cha in her lipton glass)



For some reason, fanta taste nicer in this part of the world



i quite like drinking in the cold cold weather, but only sissy drinks for me please


SO, they have glasses for each beer you order too.

For coke too, yeap, and for coke light too.

And my last night there, i had evian, and yes, evian glasses came with it!

But no photos of thoseeee.. :(





yknow, one bottle can pour exactly one full glass..
Belgium must be obsessed with matching glasses
and they managed to make me one of them!


when we drank our mineral water in Brugge, we thought, oh.. plain glasses!!


until we finished our water, we saw this below! (its the brand of the water)


(strange..... water is clear, no? why did we had to finish our water b4 we realised this?)

5 more days!!

Back from Belgium, yknow what, i had only one chocolate when i was there!! smelling all the chocs was enough to make me full!!

I was really fascinated, and this may changed me into collecting glasses in the future.. about, matching glasses with the drinks you order!! I have no photos to show at the moment. (lazy to download my pics)

We ordered 3 different drinks each of us right, and i had a fanta orange glass, with a fanta orange bottle, and wk had ... i forgot what he had.. but it was matching lah, and sa had lipton tea in a lipton glass!

even when i ordered water, it was evian in an evian glass! honestly, i was sooo tempted to bring them all home!!

they even have matching beer glasses to go with your different brand you order!

another thing i've learnt about belgium is, french fries is originated from belgium. as what i've heard.. people queue up to eat fries! with mayo on top.

my trip to belgium, was... interesting.. people are... somewhat friendly KUA. and.. my most yummiest food i had was...


*drum roll*...



vietnamese noodles!!!!!



with vietnamese chilli sauce!! :P



YUUUUMMmmy!!
