Catching up!

Finally downloaded the hundreds of photos over the past few months from the camera. Here are some of them...

Char & J's pink & chocolate wedding - it was so much fun making all the decor! I got to be bridezilla all over again (albeit vicariously)... hee hee… Who’s getting married next? Indulge me!!

My Birthday! - which we celebrated on the 16th instead... Mummy made red eggs and had them delivered together with a yummelicious dinner. Hubs was really sweetums – he made a huge brekkie for the both of us before we headed out for some furniture shopping at the new Marina Square.

Christmas Candlelight Service - Arise, Shine!

- and that's XJ's handprint from when he was 14! :)


We got a half-day off on the Friday before New Years, and thought we’d try out Brussel Sprouts – this new place just round the corner, which served up pretty decent moules-frites, and Belgian beer. Of course, we couldn’t resist the very sinful but very delicious caramelized pork belly… *drool*

Update: Just realised from Sunday's papers that Brussel Sprouts is actually another one of Emmanuel Stroobandt's babies! Mmm.. wonder if they serve up foie gras too?

Hubs turns 30 today and we had a little dessert party last night to celebrate. Grand plans of baking a cheese cake and a chocolate tart fell through when the oven tripped the electrical circuits in the apartment. So I cheated and got a double chocolate praline birthday cake from the patissier and an assortment of macaroons from canele to stand in… heee…

Wines, cheese, fruits, desserts, and great company made for a very lovely evening indeed!

Happy Birthday, dear!!

the days leading up to and the day itself were spent at day-long meetings which were followed by night-long drafting sessions. what a bummer. didn't even have time to get all mopey and pensive about creeping one more year nearer to the big 3-0. but i was starting to get really depressed when it was fast approaching 10pm and i was STILL stuck in the boardroom of X firm, tapping away on the computer and taking instructions.

Thankfully i got off the hook and managed to have a quick dinner, lovingly prepared by mummy dearest (complete with red eggs!), with hubs, before zipping off to join the girls for a drink. sadly, i arrived AFTER midnight! *fail*

in view of the very sad situation of having missed my very first birthday with hubs after we've been married, the 16th of December (the day after) was declared my birthday for this year instead. hee...

slept in late and woke up to a big breakfast, courtesy of hubs, then traipsed down to the new (to me!) Marina Square pick out furniture for our "spa room". 'twas a lovely lovely day! even though i had to get back to work again on Sunday.

oh please... let me get through the rest of the week...

Birthday Flowers

to replace the ones i'd lost on the evening of our wedding...
