Less than 6 months

OMG!! I just realised that I have less than 6 months left till my AD. And I have not decided on my themes, bridesmaids, bridegroom, PG, VG, MUA etc. So much not done yet. And I have been regretting my decision to get my gowns from Taiwan.. :( Although I have chosen the gowns during my last trip there in April, I have problems remembering the design that I chose and fitting will be a problem. ARGHHH!! I blogged about the seamstress I found to do the required alterations. But I keep having this nagging feeling that the gown would not be what I remembered. Have been toying with the idea of getting a Singapore BS for the gowns but they are way expensive and hubs is not supportive. *Pulls hair*  HOW??!!??

Birthday Celebrations with Family

2 Saturdays back saw us celebrating my bro and my birthday which is 5 days apart at the newly opened Seafood Republic at RWS. This was the first time that I have been to RWS since it opened early this year. We met up with my parents at Vivo and took the Sentosa Express to RWS.

It was about 5 when we reached and our reservation was at 6.30pm so we wandered around before heading to the restaurant for dinner.

I <3 how they used colourful lollis to decorate the trees. Makes me feel happy just seeing them.

Not forgetting a pic with my hubby

The restaurant was located near the waterfront

Signage of the restaurant

The staffs were still undergoing briefing when we reached so we took some pics at the waterfront

Me and hubs again

SSR a collaboration amoung the 4 seafood restaurant big names in singapore

Restaurant entrance

We were allocated a table at the second level. That explains why we are going up the stairs

The menu

Restaurant set up at the second level. I love the colour scheme used and the chandeliers.

Seafood fried rice

Steamed fresh prawns

Coffee ribs with almond flakes. These don't come cheap but they are worth the price.

Chilli crab! Yum! Typing this post is making me crave for seafood again.

Salted egg yolk crab. Nice. A refreshing change from the usual Chilli crab. Love the creamy and salty sauce.

Us again with our bibs on

By the time we finished our sumptious dinner, night had fallen.

Before we went back, we stopped by Garrett for their popcorn after hearing many positive reviews. I got the Crispy Caramel and the Cheese Popcorn. The popcorn was big and round and crunchy unlike those that we usually get from the cinemas. Will be making a trip back soon to get another bag although it is on the pricier side, I feel that it is worth it.

Mom ..

I came across this on facebook and thought I'll share this here..

Age 4, we think: mom knows everything!

At 8: mom knows a lot!

At 12: mom doesn't really know everything.

At 14: mom doesn't know anything.

At 16: mom doesn't exist.

At 18: she's old fashioned.

At 25: maybe mom does know about this!

At 35: before we decide, let's ask mom.

At 45: wonder ...what mom thinks about this.

At 75: I wish I could ask mom about this

I've got M@il!!

Saw this in the post when I reached home last night.

All the way from Rochester, NY in the U.S of A.

First class postage from a first class lady!

We were intending to spend my birthday at Universal studios but were unable to get the tickets.
