Task Completed

I've finally uploaded all the photos taken by photographer for my wedding day onto web. I've posted some in my previous blog.

I will send personal email to friends for the photos viewing as i will not post photos with our faces in blog.

Next step is to choose photos to print in hardcopy. Pheww.lots of work cos if can i want to print all but then will need to buy many albums to place. Not practical also.
So, got to choose and pick.

Got to settle all these before Feb. as we will have many more photos from our honeymoon.

Y2007 New Year Resolution

Not sure what im busy with but just don't seem to have time to do my usual stuff. Haven't got the time to upload photos too.

Well, it has been second week of Y2007 and im married for 2 weeks now. Things are great, getting better i must say. We started to feel comfy with our new home. Still have many things have yet to tidy & pack but we will do it gradually.

Oh yeasss.. It has been the third year i blog on my New Year Resolution !! Just a guideline to my one year planning i guess.

A Flash back on my Y2006 New year resolution and how much have i accomplished my goals

Careers & Travel:
Boss has been good to me. Appreciate my work and have high hopes in me.
He has given me many opportunities to learn new things and see different aspect of IT life. It is enjoyable and fruitful.

This year, finger cross that i'll have chance to travel as boss has been mentioning this for the nth times but seems like things get delayed and delayed. He din fly for the whole of 2006 too. One reason was due to change of Management. We have a new boss who looks like Jurasic park 1 actor.

Feb'07 we will know if i get promotion/pay rise/bonus. hoo..fat new year i hope.

LGG & i are suppose to go for honeymoon in Jan but trip was cancelled due to insufficient participants. So we have rescheduled to Feb. Hopefully this is confirmed.


Health :
I've been quite reqular to gym. jogging has been my Y2006 main sports.
I din get to work on pilates/Yoga much cos the schedule always do not fit.

This year, i will continue with my jogging & of course i will try to fit in my schedule with yoga/pilates.

This year i learnt dancing (cha cha.waltze.etc) not a bad experience !
Stay Healthy always !

I've not been taking Mcs for 2 years. Amazing huh ! im entitled for 30 days MC per annum but all gone to waste. But i rather not taking than suffer from health problem.

Family & Love:

JL aka LGG (Lao Gong Gong) & i finally tie the knot on 30th December. We have moved into our love nest and started our new life together.

I've picked up my cooking since. It has been years since i last cooked a meal but now i prepared dinner for my LGG daily. Cool huh ! Im still picking up slowly from my mum & mum-in-law and of course recipees books come in handy all the time :)

Glad to have a proper family gathering on my wedding day. The photos are so precious. I've got to arrange & print them out.

Y2007 Resolution..
o stay happy. healthy.organised. less temper.
o Love my LGG & let him love me more.. heee
o Polish up my cooking skill !!
o Keep slim. Been adding more "bak" cos less exercise. Pick up Pilates/Yoga
o Go Bangkok for shopping spree
o Looking forward to our love product :)
o Try to spend time with my mum. Muak !
o keep in touch with friends.
o Stop drinking Coffee !!

This year resolution is shorter cos i think it is the matter of achieving so not to put too much pressure on myself too.

All the best in Y2007 the year of piglet ! Roast pig is nice, always ! heee

OuR Wedding Day - 30th December 2006

Details of my wedding day on 30th December 2006


1. Preparation

Mum & aunt woke up as early as 430am to prepare breakfast.

Brother they all too,woke up and bathed and went out to buy coffee for me.heee my special request.

Basically, whole night i cant sleep. not sure why but just the mind did not seem to be able to rest. nervous with the day i guess. I got up with one-sided headache.

Mum made some herb tea for me to drink which seemed to work.

Make-up artist arrived at 7am. Photographer arrived at 8am.

After, make-up, i changed andand LGG came just about the same time.

2. Groom's arrival

LGG came to pick me up at redhill home. Upon arrival, he called up.
Yann & Chenn (boys) went down to open car door for him.
Then LGG gave them one ang pow each

* this is part of the customary, boys of bride's family will open car door for the Groom *

Then LGG & his brother (brought along a traditional layered basket with goodies like cakes/fruits..)

Mum is so nice that she invited LGG for breakfast.

3. Sister's challenge

My sis,sis in law, autie & chenn they all blocking the door to the room where i'm sitting with face covered by the veil.

*Groom will have to pass the challenge to lift up the veil and bring the bride with him *

LGG is asked to sing mandarin love songs to me.. he got the hint few days back and managed to sing a song with the self-prepared lyrics. He passed la !! but the singing a bit errr.. heeee

Then of course got things like they asked him who is he looking for ? why looking for her ? blahh..

Finally, he is given permission to enter the room & be with his bride.

In chinese custom, after leaving the bride's home, they need to return on the same day.
But, mum said no need to make extra trip back, so we walk one round to the other end of the corridoor outside our house and come back.

Then, Mum gave us both each a cup of chinese tea or is it herbs to drink before we took off.

4. Temple

We moved on to temple.
Since we have many people, so all got to sqeeze into 2 cars.

bridal car- 6 people including driver. phewwww.

Mum cant follow us, this is part of chinese customary too. she and sis took another transport to go direct to our new home.

At temple, we are surprised with the wedding song that they played. It was the really traditional wedding music. " pom(3) pom(2) pom(4) pom(4)...." you know.

Then venerable do chanting and bless us with blissful marriage.

All these are videod by JK.

We spent some time at the temple waiting for some relatives.

5. Our New Home

We headed to our new home.
Many people already there. This is where we have our tea ceremony & buffet lunch.

Yann went up to our bed to jump, as according to chinese customary, this bring lucks to the newly wed to have children and to have boy.

Boon, jia & Suh came too. So glad to see them especially Boon for making a trip all the way from penang just to attend my wedding. He & jia are my Dinner Mcees.

They took many photos of my marriage customary items. posted here.

So after all the tea ceremony & makaning, relatives roam about in our house. chit-chating.

Afternoon, we proceeded to hotel for the preparation of our wedding Dinner.

6. Our Wedding Dinner

Tired but cannot sleep.

Boon, Jia , Suh , LGG went for the captain briefing to setup and prepared for the dinner with proper timing and all.

I'm the bride so just ready for make-up & be "mei-mei".. heeee

You cant imagine the how nervous LGG & i were. The march in was so "Kan-chiong", we just keep telling ourselves to keep smiling.

Yann & Chenn are my flower "boys" they carry a small basket and throw the confetti. After few rehearsal at home, they did a great job that night and enjoy themselves, cutey cutey :)

Our wedding songs selection:
First march-in = This moment
First dish =
Second march in = A moment like this

I wore the gown that i took picture in the morning, white one and a bit sexy as mid section are transparent.

I wore the second gown on that night, off white but very elegance as the material is so comfy and queen like

I chose to wear my tea dress as my secodn gown on that night as i think the pink strikes especially when take pictures. and it does not have a long tail like my first & second gown. So i can move from table to table easily.

Well. We are so glad this is over and we are now officially ( english or chinese cutomary) husband & wife. heeee

We felt like King & Queen during our 2 days stay in the 5 stars hotel. Breakfast was taken up in the room. our room was upgraded as a complimentary from the hotel to a full suit with 2 level. Originally it should be 1 level bridal suit.

The end of our wedding in Y2006. As we walked into Y2007 with a brand new life. Sharing our life together hand-in-hand.

All the loves go to my Laogong & my family and friends who have been a great help to make all these happened.

Next blog have to be my new year resolution.
