Wedding
We are soooooo pleased with the whole wedding day. It's small, cosy and memorable..... just the way we want it to be.
Thanks to all families and friends who made this possible.

The slimmer me
I use to eat whatever I like whenever I like and the weight had been creeping up on me.... Decides to lose weight for the wedding and I have now hit my target of losing 2 stones (13 kg!). Took me about 14 months to lose all these weight and it wasn't easier....
My method :-
- cycling on the bike machine to burn off 400 cal about 4 times a week
- Breakfast consist of either a pot of yogurt, a portion of wheetabix
- Lunch consist of either a pot of yogurt, healthy sandwich, philadelphia cheese with crackers
- Mid-day snack is only allow if I'm hungry, consist either banana, apple or a pot of yogurt (I do love yogurts!!)
- Dinner is what we use to have but a smaller portion for me
- Supper/ dessert, can't have any on a weekday! Did bend the rules on some nights though.
- Weekends is a treat as I can eat what I like.

Hope I wouldn't stuff myself too much in SG and be able to maintain the weight.

A trip to the Ice bar London
Quite an experience to be in an ice bar, the chairs, tables, bar and glasses are all made of ice!! We paid £12.50 each (for Sat before 6pm) for a duration of 40 mins in the Ice Hotel which includes 1 free drink. Purchase of additional drinks cost £6 each.

Wedding song

It got to be our song 'The day I fall in love' from Beethoven's 2nd.

Just an ordinary day
Started out the same old way
Then I looked into your eyes and knew
Today would be a first for me
The day I fall in love

On the day I fall in love
Sky will be a perfect blue
And I'll give my heart forever more
To someone who is just like you
The day I fall in love

People all say love is wonderful
That the bells will ring
The birds will sing
The skies will open
I wonder where's that great big symphony
Roll over Beethoven
Won't you play with me

And I'll never promise to be true to anyone
Unless it's you
Unless it's you
The day I fall in love

Just an ordinary day
Started out the same old way
Then I looked into your eyes and knew
Today will be a first for me
A first for me
The day I fall in love
I know you'll be there
Ooh....I know...
The day I fall in love

Wedding cards
Had our wedding cards printed from T-dragon and Sam's mom had sent us a few for distribution to my colleagues in UK who will be attending our wedding!!

We had booked/ pay the deposit of wedding stuffs through internet and sometimes I start to worry that things doesn't turn out the way we expect. I think I shall stop worrying as this wedding card design was selected from internet website and the results were better than we expected.

It's less than a month to our wedding day........

Go karting
After long and hard search, we decided on the go-kart place close to us, Kartsport (Caxton).

15 mins for safety video, 15 mins drivings, 15 minutes break, 15 minutes driving. All in all, 30mins of driving for £32. You are given a suit, gloves and helmet to wear for safety but there's no saftey belt!! Sometimes you do get the feeling that you might fly out!!! I drove very poorly on the first 15 mins as I wasn't very daring, but on the last 15 mins, I gave my all and got myself a decent time score (I think).

Great fun but my arms are aching now as I was holding onto the steering wheel for dear life....

Visit to Southend
Late posting of our trip.

We drove to Southend on 25/10/08 for a day trip. Managed to walk the Southend Pier (world's longest pier, 1 and a third mile) to and fro. It's too windy, that's why we have our hoods on to cover our ears from the cold winds. You can have the option of paying and take the train to the pier, but what's the fun then.... plus we really need to walk off those fish and chips we had earlier.

Pandan Cake
Obtained the recipe from this website (Baking Mum). Best recipe for Pandan Cake I tried so far and will be using this recipe from now on!! Too bad, my pandan paste is running out soon....

Baking is also one of my way of de-stressing from the wedding planning. Not sure why me sooo stress too, just kept thinking everything is sooo going to fall apart on the day... :(

Cabin luggage
Been thinking about how to transport the wedding dress back to Singapore. No way was I going to check in the wedding dress!!

We were out shopping last weekend at Braintree Outlet Village and we found the perfect cabin luggage (think it fits the cabin luggage measurement for SQ just nice) at Bags etc.

Hopefully all the wedding stuff (including Sam's suit) will fit in.

Hair cut
My long hair is driving me nuts!! Uneven, fizzy, unmanageable, ....... you name it!
Didn't want to go to a hairdresser to just trim my hair, quite a waste of money in my sense plus you see, I'm suppose to keep my hair long for the wedding. So I decide to get Sam to trim my hair last Sunday!! Very brave of me, or perhaps I'm just desperate for a hair cut!

I must say, Sam did a brillant job!! I tied up my hair and let him trim it bit by bit using his hair clipper. My hair is now even and manageable and most important of all, I feel better!
