14th May 2011: My Wedding Day (AM)

It has been more than a month since my wedding day and I am finally able to sit down and start on my wedding day post. I thoroughly enjoyed my wedding day and though there were lots of hits and misses during the planning, things turned out well enough on the day itself. Mostly because of my wonderful Jiemeis and Xiongdis who helped us alot on that day itself so that I was able to just enjoy the day and being a beautiful bride. I'll let the pictures do the talking from here on ..

A Touching Wedding Proposal!!

Although my wedding has come and gone, I thought I'll share this video that has  been going viral on Facebook and Youtube of a guy proposing to his girlfriend of 3 years in California. The guy really went through alot of planning to propose to her. The video is pretty long at 14 mins but it is super touching!! Love the song that he chose too.. Everlasting Love..

Peach Garden @ Orchid Country Club

Its high time I stopped procrastinating and started on my wedding day entries. We had our food tasting on 19th March and changed a couple of items in the cold dish and the prawn dish. We had to top up for the change but it was a good thing that we went for the food tasting if not my guests would have had fried food overload. Some places have the option of forgoing the food tasting and using that table on the AD itself. We had one extra table that was not used on the AD so we went down 2 weeks for an advanced fathers day celebration.


I had pretty good reviews from my guests and seems that many loved the Braised Ee-Fu noodles. My uncle even asked for 2nd helpings. At wedding dinners, guests will remember the food more than anything so I am glad that they enjoyed the food. The only grouse I have is the layout of the restaurant. I initially planned for 2 projectors to be used but the VGA cable was not long enough so had to make do with 1 projector and guests who were at both ends of the restaurant had very restricted views. 

For the cold dish, we changed the chives roll, and Chilled Century Egg Terrine to Fresh Prawn Salad and Seafood Mango Roll 


Peach Garden Combination
(Fresh Prawn Salad, Roast Pork, Crab Ball, Fried Beanskin Roll, Marinated Jellyfish and Seafood Mango Roll)
Braised Shark’s Fin with Seafood and Mushroom
The prawn dish was changed from Fried Crispy Prawn with Oats Cereal to 
Drunken Prawns with Chinese Wine
Steamed Soon Hock with Superior Soya Sayce
Braised Sea Cucumber with Fish Maw and Spinach
Roasted Crispy Chicken with Preserved Bean Paste
 Braised Ee-Fu Noodles with Chives and Mushroom
Chilled Jelly Royale with Julienne of Coconut

Sick, tired and disappointed.

A little T.L.C towards a patient goes a long way. Is that too much to ask for? A little time away from ur machines and a little time for ur sick wife?

AD Cocktail Treats

For my AD reception, I wanted to have something different from the usual nuts and drinks for cocktail. Was blog hopping and getting inspirations for my wedding when I came across these Ferrero Rocher Pyramid and Personalised M&Ms on Rachel's blog. The Ferrero Rocher wrappers were in line with my colour theme and so I went out and bought 10 boxes of 30 pcs Ferrero Rocher and got my bridesmaids to stack them up into pyramids with the help of some clear film between layers. I did not get the M&Ms in the end though.

Feeling.. Homesick

I'm working on the post of my AD but blogger is taking freaking long to upload the photos coupled with the slow network here .. Haiz ... And I have so many photos to upload!! Just have to be patient..

J has been posted to Jakarta for a business trip for 5 days and he left yesterday afternoon. Feeling lonely without him around and I had trouble sleeping last night. It didn't use to be so bad before we got married as I still had my family with me. I'm now staying with my MIL and SIL so I'm feeling pretty homesick without hubs around.. 4 more days and 3 more sleepless nights till he gets back.
