wedding pics

my mum is officially on leave from now till the 19th, so we hung out today.. we went to Vivo city - the newest mall in S'pore.. it's really huge, but i think the layout is really bad cos like you walk round and round in circles.. it's really easy to get lost.. but all in all it's pretty good.. i recommend everyone to go take a look at it.. :) oh ya! and just before we left i popped into The Museum Shop.. my mum was saying that they've got pretty neat stuff, so i decided to check it out.. the sales guy was really nice.. he was really attentive - probably because i was the only customer in the shop! haha.. so i was just wondering around.. and when i stopped at the scarf rack, he said "may i ask a question? are you expecting?" i was like "NO!!!" then i burst out laughing.. it was hilarious.. he was so embarrassed.. "oh.. i'm sorry.. i'm so sorry" he quickly added.. sheesh.. i know i put on weight, but never did i think it made me look pregnant! haha.. like where on earth is the baby supposed to have come from?!?! haha.. it was soooo funny.. i told my mum when we were out of the shop and we both cracked up laughing.. gudness gracious.. suppose it's time for me to start exercising.. haha..

neways, i found a CD that contained my cousin's wedding photos, so i decided to upload some of them here.. these were taken in March 2005 in Canberra.. they held their wedding in the national museum.. it was really unique; like how many people can say that they got married in a museum? haha.. funny thing is, no one who attended the wedding actually lived in Canberra - everyone flew in for the wedding.. rather inconvienient in my opinion, but i probably would have never been to Canberra otherwise.. anyway.. here are the pics.. i had really short hair then.. haha.. have a great weekend guys.. love ya all! muacks!

back in S'pore

ok.. so i've been back for exactly a week, although it feels a lot longer.. i've really enjoyed catching up with my friends and family.. i really treasure each moment i have with them, and no longer take anything for granted.. i attended my cell group leader's wedding on saturday.. there i met most of my friends again; having not seen them for just over 10 months.. the wedding was really nice - simple, but romantic.. i'm such a softie! i teared when they made a speech and thanked their parents for everything.. i'll probably be bawling at my own wedding la! that's if i ever do get married.. haha.. but yeah, it was really sweet.. everyone had turned to look at the bridesmaids - there were 8 of them! but no flower girl or ring boy - and no one realised that Soo Jin, the groom, was singing! we all thought it was a CD playing.. he's one of our worship leaders and he has a really awesome voice.. it was sooo sweet and romantic! haha.. they had a no-fuss kinda wedding, so they didnt have a dinner.. so i had dinner with my family, and my aunt's bro, who lives in Sydney, and 2 of her church friends.. according to my mum the food was "not very good", even though shewas the one who gave the dinner treat.. haha.. it was our first time there - we tried this new place in Changi Village.. i thought it was alright, but i suppose that's cos i havent had food like that for so long that it all tastes good..
sunday was probably the hardest day for me.. i say that only because it reminded me of Paradise.. not that my church is anything like Paradise. on the contrary, my church is probably pretty much the opposite of Paradise! it's a small, cosy family church.. almost everyone knows everyone, and i really like that closeness.. you dont feel like a stranger, nor do you feel like you insignificant or un-noticed.. anyway, as i was saying.. it really made me miss Paradise and my friends back home.. after service as we sitting aroung waiting to go for lunch, i was once again reminded of how long it used to take us to decide where to go for lunch - somehow we'd end up in Chinatown.. haha.. i miss the vietnamese restaurant! i want broken rice and a custard apple drink.. hehe.. yum! i must try the beef noodles when i get back.. :)

i'm supposed to meet Ern Chee and her sis and friend today.. Hsien Fei and i are supposed to bring them around, from 10-3.. it's 2pm now.. and they're still in Sentosa, so i'm guessing we wont meet them today.. :( i miss Ern Chee!! haha..
