Wedding Journey - Bridal Studio Selection
Time seemed to pass by very fast this year - it's now the 5th month of the year and 5 more months to the special day! Till date, we have finished our bridal shoots (my album is still at the studio, as we have no time to go in and collect) and delaying our time in choosing pictures for the montage, lol! But before that, I still rem the day in which we crossed the causeway in search for the bridal studio to capture our moments.
Us crossing the causeway & waiting for the very important person to pick us up @ the customs.
Here comes the car!
Ta-dah! I still remembered Fling just got her license not too long ago when this picture was taken :) We were one of her first few passengers at that time. Thanks Sister for keeping me informed & company :)
Headed to our usual bak ku teh place for a good lunch before we conquered the bridal shops.
We finally decided to sign up with SG Bridal house, parting with a good amount of money for the package. Well, money earned is meant to be spent, esp when its our wedding :)

Asia Grand Restaurant
Back from the land of peking duck! Feels so great to be home after every trip (minus the current heat wave as Beijing's temp was way better!) Anyway, meet up with Uni group for a night of Chinese food.
Khim Khim recommended Asia Grand Restaurant this time round. I think this is the 1st time we actually go for Chinese food during our outings! As much as I love other cuisines, chinese food still forms a large part of my diet. And, I can't go without my rice. The place was relatively full on a Friday night - thanks to Kenneth dear for making the reservation :)
Yaozu, Leecher and me were the first to arrive! Hunger pangs struck us and we decided to order appetizers to munch on while waiting for the rest to arrive. Their signature appetizer - assorted pickled capsicum with cucumber and fishcakes. Quite a refreshing dish! The fishcakes were so chewy that I almost finished all while the guys have to settle on the vegetables - sorry guys!
Peking duck! The way we ate our peking duck is slightly different from those in Beijing - more on that when I have time to blog about the Beijing trip. Nevertheless, love love peking duck - the crepe, duck meat, crackers and all. We ordered the 8 course meal to share b/w us, which comes with steamed fish, salad prawns, ee fu noodles, duck soup (mad love this soup that we had 2nd helpings), vegetables with mushrooms, duck meat and dessert. We had to rush off after dinner, hence couldn't take a group pic :( but, there's always next time ~

Mummy's Bdae 2011
Celebrated Mummy dearest bdae 2 weeks back. Leecher specially went to get mummy's bdae cake @ awfully chocolate.
Happy birthday Mummy dearest! You're the best mummy that anyone can have in this world.
Birthdays are meant to be spent with loved ones - nothing that I would trade for in this world.

Dinner with Winston
Quick post before boarding my flight to Beijing ~ Being the anchor-blogger of this blog, updates for this week maybe slow, so please bear with me :)
Dinner with Winston after work to catch up on his wedding preparations. The 4th wedding bells that have rung thus far this year :) Not forgetting, he just got his apartment & it's going to be just a stone throw's away from my place, yippee!

GE 2011
The scorecard is out, results finalised for GE 2011. With this election, residents of Aljunied have voted in an alternative voice in the Parliament, with Worker's Party as their representative! Kudos to the residents for making this choice :) Thus, a short entry on my GE journey before I fly off to Beijing to escape from the scorching hot weather.
Our 2nd chance to vote @ GE, with the first in 2006. To kick-off our GE adventure, we attended the Worker's Party 1st rally @ Hougang.
Look at the crowd that turned out! Gosh, I can't even see where the stage was and just edged my way forward, so that we can listen to the speeches.
Ice-cream uncle hopping onto the bandwagon to cash in more business :)
We decided to go up one of the nearby blocks. Boy, what a scene we saw when we were on the 10th floor! News reported that the turnout was more than 20k, far more impressive than PAP's turnout!
Yaozu was drenched in sweat from climbing up/down the stairs, lol!
Leecher decided that he wants to be top of the world (at the playground). "This is what Cool Looks Like"
Attended the finale of WP's rally @ Serangoon Stadium with Nijun & Fling. At the junction towards the stadium, we even have police controlling the traffic! People were shouting "Worker's Party! Worker's Party!" as they walked towards the stadium.
All united as one, as we listened to the speeches given by each and every candidate.
For those who didn't manage to get into the stadium, they sat outside on the grass patches & pavements, supporting the candidates with their cheers!
My polling card - a privilege that I had since I turned 21. Thanks to the opposition, some of my peers have their 1st chance at voting.
Back to my alma mater to cast my vote. I'm so glad that WP broke through the GRC system and won Aljunied, but utterly sad that Mrs Chiam lost Potong Pasir with just a razor-thin margin. Well, I guess that's life - you win some, you lose some.

Leecher's Bdae Treat from Kaiwei
Leecher's birthday treat from Kaiwei and I'm invited as well! Woohoo! Being invited meant that I have to blog for this entry to earn my meal (who's the one always blogging, anyway?)
Went to Uluru, located at Duxton Hill for our meal. This restaurant is named after the famous Uluru rock, commonly known as the Ayers Rock, located in the southern part of the Northern Territory.
Dips for our freshly baked bread. No bread comes close to beating those served @ Prive.
The guys will be full of work talk whenever they meet.
Both Yanni and I went for the 3-course set meal, which comes with Uluru's Caesar salad for starters.
Then, we had the 200 days Agnus Sirloin for mains while the guys settled for burgers. If you're feeling adventurous, take on the challenge of the $70 ultimate burger - stacked high with 3 layers of bread bun, 4 steak patties, endless flow of chips and salad. If you're able to finish the lot in 30 minutes, dinner's on the house!
Leecher can't wait to get his dinner started.
Dessert came in the form of lemongrass creme brulee; with assorted beries and vanilla ice cream. The lemongrass was simply refreshing and transported us to Bali for a second.
Since the night was still young, we went to CMPB @ Dempsey for chill-out session.
Minty drinks that don't really go well with my throat.
Ordered chicken wings to go with our drinks.
Brought a box of cakes from Duxton Hill earlier, as we were enticed by their display of cupcakes and wedding cakes.
Thanks for the treat, Kaiwei & Yanni :)
