My 2nd Birthday as Mrs Tan

I know it has been quite a while since I last wrote, but you have to excuse me... due to the work load I have, there really isnt much time for me to actually sit and upload and blog. Anyway, I have finally left my job, hopefully the next one is not as stressful.

Time really flies. It has been a year already since my ROM. Also, it's my birthday. On the 26th, hubby invited everyone home to celebrate with me. I was really happy and thanks for all the beautiful gifts.

過大禮

It's the 過大禮. I woke up at 545am. Had to drive mum to Yulek pasar to collect kuihs. We reached there around 7am, had our breakfast and headed to u.allan's house to pray. Everything was doen by 8am, we left for home. u.James, heong yi & mny were already in our house. We prepared everything.

At 945am, we left for Seremban. Reached there at 1030am. LP came out to greet us. They were all wearing red. Really nice. We brought in all the things. Gave her mum the dowry and everyone was busy. Her mum cooked us curry chicken and mee hoon. And after lunch we left for KL.

And now, we are counting days till our BIG DAY!!!

A Busy Day




I'm really happy as I have cut out quite a number of stuff in my to-do-list.

Yesterday I took half day leave just to lessen my to-do's. I left work for home around 1230pm. MIL & mun & boy were already waiting for me. We left asap. We headed to Redsense where a.mny told us there were lots of wedding stuff. Not really though. Our next stop was Petaling Street, somewhere behind Central Market. Another bluff - nothing at all. Then MIL said to go Pudu Market. Yes, see, you should trust your MIL. We bought almost everything there. Yeah yeah... but too bad we bought a not so nice umbrella. I prefer the other one which has lace. Too late.

After everything, we got back into the car and headed to Sg. Wang. We went straight to JonTen (MIL's usual jeweller). After spending bout 2 1/2 hours there, we finally bought everything. I'm really happy with my gifts. Boy was bored by then. Lucky hubby came. He brought boy next door and thereon boy stuck to him like glue. Cause it's a playstation shop. And hubby end up buying one. Sigh.

Then we walked a while and left for Noble House for our food tasting.

Mun took a picture of all the dishes. Everyone said the food was great. Well, of course now it's only 1 table. Just hope that it's the same on the big day. After filling our stomach, Micheal (the manager) came over to discuss some things. Vegetarians, malays, screens, deco, etc etc etc.

I'm getting more and more excited.

Genting

Last Saturday we went up to Genting with the whole family. Jason & Chloe, Mike & Vincent too. It wasnt too cold. We had to wait for 1 hour just to check in. But it was worthwhile for the money we made... Hehehe.

CNY 2008

We had done so much during the chinese new year, or should I say ate a lot? It's usually like that, it's either gamble, eat or visit friends. This year chor 3, we went down to seremban to pick LP home. Dad, mum, mun, boy & baby went with me.

Chor 4, we went to mun's house to lou sang. There were a lot of people. The guys played chor tai dee while the ladies played mahjong.

Chor 5, mum's birthday, we went to Overseas Restaurant to lou sang again. In laws came up too.

And for the rest of the CNY, as I've mentioned, we just ate, gamble and slept.

It's Nearing

LTP gave us a list of to do's. I took it out the other day to check. He gave us the dates all under the lunar calendar. So I converted it into our normal calendar dates and gave it to MIL. Our "過大禮" falls on 25 April (lunar 三月二十).

On Monday 18 Feb 08, MIL went with mun to order the wedding pastry "嫁女餅". It's home made, she brought some back for us. Hubby & I were impressed. Their packaging was nice and so were the pastries. Yummy!

Now that the chinese new year is over, only did I realised our big day is another 3 months time. I am so excited. Can't wait to see the wedding photos and oh dear, there are so many things to be done.

A Day of Love

It's the time of the year again where love fills the air. Not only it's Valentine's Day, it marks the first anniversary of the proposal. Hubby got me a special gift, it was a great surprise. I really loved the watch. It's beautiful.

I actually arranged for a group celebration. There were 16 of us. Wow, this is my first time celebrating Valentine's with so many people. We went to Riblee's, a cozy restaurant in Hartamas that serves pork ribs. We enjoyed the dinner and spent the rest of the time laughing and chatting about everything.

Merry Christmas

On 21st Dec, my parents came up to KL and since it's "guo tung", dear asked them to stay for dinner. I brought them around while MIL cooked. Everyone loves her cooking. She cooked a feast. After dinner, we all sat and chat before we left for home.

This is the first year we are celebrating Xmas as Mr & Mrs Tan. We bought lots of presents for all. We placed them under the xmas tree and it was so packed. RayErn couldnt wait to open the presents, but he was a good boy and waited until after the xmas dinner before opening them.

After that we adjourned to Gary & Christine's house for 2nd round of party.

Merry Christmas everybody.

Things Checked

Quite a lot happened for the past weekend. We went to Isetan and Curve to see the X'mas deco. Not as nice as last year though.

We finally got hold of our photographer. We met him in Starbucks, Curve. He showed us his works and we find them really impressive and we fell in love with it. At that instant we paid him deposit. We have been so busy for the past few months and now we have to chase back time. We need to get lots of things ready.

We decided we are going to use "tai kham cheh", but only for the morning. We just want to add some chinese tradition in. We are chinese and should follow the culture. She looked young, and at first impression I thought she might not be able to handle a wedding.

But after talking to her, she is really a professional in this. She told us a lot of things and asked us to call her a week or two before the "guo tai lai". She will give us a little guidance on how to go about it.

This is getting more and more excited. Can't wait for the actual big day.

RedBliss it is

Can't really remember when was the last time we went to shop for my gown. Anyway, finally we got our butts out to shop again. We went to RedBliss and was quite impressed. After telling us everything we need to know, we told them that we need some time to think about it.

We went back there after work the next day. We finally confirmed after they added in more stuff. We picked the shooting date and then left with a big smile. Can't really wait till then, and that means we have to go on a diet too. Sigh, good bye nice food.
