Somebody's a year older again...

Happy Birthday my dearest cheeky!! You're a year older again, but still as cheeky as ever..
Nothing fanciful this year because we're both so busy with wedding preps and stuff and very broke too!!
Had a simple dinner at Spageddies the night before because it's been months since we last stepped into Orchard and because I've had enough Chinese food over the CNY season.

And finally on cheeky's actual birthday, the last steamboat for this cny! Omg, don't talk to me about steamboats for the next half a year!

These 2 months will be a crazy 2 months, finalizing the guest list and details for the wedding now. The weather is finally back to the normal of this sunny little island and we set off on our bikes to give out our invitation cards to the nearby friends. It was fun, but never expected it to be so tiring and troublesome. Finding the place was fun, but hopping up and down the bike and going up to the doorstep was tiring (because most of the letterboxes were locked). 3 hours on the roads and 11 cards given, not very efficient indeed, but it was fun!

Now it's time to do up the montages, emcee scripts, AD timeline etc...

Snake Year

Has been lovely so far!
Saturday, we woke up early for last minute spring cleaning of our room, before heading down to mom's place for dinner part 1 then coming back to cheeky's for dinner part 2!
Day 1 and 2 of CNY was of course none other than hoping from one place to another, eating non-stop and cherishing year of getting angbaos! Now I officially have phobia of steamboat!!!
We planned to spend day 3 bringing our bikes for a lil ride, but well, the rain has never been so persistent! And so we spent the whole day at home busy with our wedding preps.

Happy snake year!! (damn, why do I look uglier as the years pass?)

And then came Vday!

We had no plans for it as going anywhere for dinner will be too crowded or overpriced and yes, it was raining the whole day! And so we had a simple, but satisfying XO fishhead bee hoon at clementi for dinner, walked around a little, then decided to head down to River Angbao as the rain stopped.

Nothing spectacular at River Angbao, almost the same stuff every year and because it was Vday, there were soooo many couples along the river, hugging, cuddling and kissing!!!

I remember last year I made a big fuss because cheeky didn't get me any flowers, and even made him promise me at least a stalk of flowers each Vday. Then cheeky got smarter and brought me to see flowers this year. $15 for a pathetic stalk of rose selling outside NTUC??? Crazy!! I can buy so many more things with that money!

Yes, women are ridiculous at times, but we do grow up. Now as husband and wife, there's more to love than just spending that one over-commercialised day together and doing what the market wants us to do. We don't need Vday to express our love for each other and love is much more than satisfying material needs or showing it off in front of the whole world. Love is an unexplainable feeling for that special someone.

Now to my special someone, :)

Hello 2013

The first month of 2013 has been busy busy busy with work and wedding preps.
Finally a long weekend to catch up on sleep and a bit of time to do some of the essentials like spring cleaning, doing up the guest list, writing invitation cards and now it's time to dig out some childhood photos for montage.

Now some photos to sum up 2013 so far...

Guo Da Li on 27th Jan. Finally over and done with that, cos we had absolutely no idea what has needed and what we were suppose to do.

And then was food tasting on 2nd Feb:

2012 has been an eventful and most memorable year. It was the year I bid farewell to singlehood and learnt to live life as somebody's wife. I must admit there were good times and bad times, but being in hubby's arms at the end of each day is the most wonderful thing. 

So what's in for 2013? Our customary, honeymoon trip, and maybe some addition to our family?? haha
