Uncle's wedding

By Lam

More on Hak Yee & Jia Xiu's Wedding....

My first MKG blog ya.....and to help continue SY's reporting....here's my side of the updates:




Our written blessings to the couple.....


For the younger kid, i think it is more difficult to pen down their thoughts...guess it is hard to copy because of our funny handwritings....haha.....this gal took 5 min to think and decide not to leave any words.....hahaa.....



Here's the kind ice-cream man who supplied us with the ice-cream and we also had the ice-cream Yum Sheng!



As you can see...it is not easy to man the reception area...esp when the groom has special instructions.....hehee.....we need to explain to the guests why we need to snatch their angbaos before they put into the box and write their table numbers on the angbaos......aiyah after a while...the bride side sisters din bother to explain....hahaa.....

We shall stay tune for Lamdad's updates....:)

The long awaited Uncle's BIG day!

The wedding of our dearest uncle Hak Yee is finally over!! Uploading some photos that I have, but then they look quite blur... heh. Pardon the lousy quality. Do not expect proper english too.

This is uncle's wedding car. 4D anyone? Taken outside jx's hse. The red car behind the wedding car is yk's.

Nervous uncle waiting for his door to be opened. He was so nervous that he didn't even wind down the window as we tried to talk to him when he was in the car. We had to sign to him.

Playing the games thrown out by the Jie Meis. Dunno why uncle is looking at me. Think looking for ideas as to what songs to sing. But hoh! I don't go KTV. Haha. Sorry uncle! Can't help you out there. Aiyah! Could have suggested Mayday's 恋爱ing!!! ALAS. See la! You make me also kan cheong.


This was when uncle is supposed to act out the proposal scene of him proposing to jx. Albert is acting as jx.

Uncle telling story. Albert is a difficult bride. Watch my video for more details! But hoh. Too big file to upload.


After all the gate crashing, uncle is standing outside his bride's door, waiting to see her.

Happy couple!

Happy bride getting into the car to go to the groom's side for tea ceremony.

Brothers. Assorted tie colours. Wa very blur...

Uncle and his wifey serving tea to his parents.

Some artsy shot taken by Peyy.

Happy bride posing with uncle's door.

My car doors with ribbons!! First time ever.

Oh this is taken after the tea ceremony at jx's house. Their wedding bands.

By this time we were pretty tired. This was the room number for the helpers' room.

This was the nice bed before me, peyy and yk tumbled into.

After our nap. Haha. Messy. Very boliao! Guess whose big backside?

We headed downstairs for briefing by uncle. This was the ballroom. It was a flurry of activity.

Too bad I didn't manage to get a shot of Albert with 5 ice cream lotis. Haha. He very kindly sponsored us with ice creams, while getting Subway for our hungry mother, his wife. The 5 are for: himself, yk, peyy, py and me! Yum yum!

Happy couple before the First March In to the ballroom.

Close up of happy couple.

Ok these are all the photos in my camera! Was having a headache after the nap, so not much photos since. Peyy snored abit and was disturbing my rest! Yk and Albert were also complaining of headaches during the dinner. Haha. We must really admit that we are old le. Cannot sleep too little and work too much. For more, we must wait for Lambird to upload. Haha.

My first post!!!!!

heehee....hello, everyone!! mi first post wor...

secretly brought in mi laptop & mobile boardband...kekeke...looking through the old photos we had, so memorable... & indicate one fact....WE ARE OLD!!!! hahaha....

anyway, sc & hm...heard from mothers tat u can start to drink coconut in the last 2 mths of ur pregnancy...to ensure smooth delivery & nice, beautiful bb's skin...

Just For Uncle Hak Yee

Well in case you still got the nerves now and having butterflies in your stomach, and wondering how to calm down? Just think of this: You chose the day that millions of others in the world and Singapore are taking JLPT, CFA and running StanChart Marathon, to be your big day.

Think of it this way:
All of them can fail, but yours will never fail, cos Hak Yee and Jiaxiu were meant for each other. So no need to worry whether got any cock ups or not, cos those things are trivial compared to your everlasting love. Isn't that right? =D

Ok back to burning my Jap notes and drinking the ashes in water.

Batam trip

It was a very fun and memorable 2D2N trip! We were blessed with good weather, despite the going during the monsoon season. Tried alot of things for the first time during this trip.

1) Jet ski
2) Banana boat
3) Full body scrub + massage (indulgent 2.5 hrs)
4) Jacuzzi
5) Sauna

Other things that we did:
1) Kayak
2) Go kart
3) Pool
4) Of course 2 dinners worth of seafood!

During the banana boat ride, we had a lot of trouble climbing back up the boat after falling into the sea. Haha. We fell only twice and we were dead tired after the 2nd time! After that, we went kayaking for 1.5 hours. My arms were aching like crazy the next day, as we were fighting against the currents as we head back to shore. It was rather exciting, as our kayak hit the rocks and almost got caught with the fish nets at 1 point.

Conclusion: You can do a day trip for Batam. Yet to try cable ski. Batam doesn't boast very nice beaches. But I guess it's the company that makes it all the difference. The thing that made the seafood nice was the cheap price tag that came along, plus its freshness. They don't really know how to cook the seafood....wasted sia

Nice weather!

Ending of first trimester

Blog is quiet for some time hoh. Just thought of updating for SC and HM. SC saying she can see her bb's limbs at 10 weeks. Then HM said she saw her bb move inside her stomach. She mentioned that the bb stretched its arms, but can't tell the sex yet. *imagining the bb's arms outstretched in the scan* kinda cute hoh?

Hocus Pocus

Suddenly remembered I used to like this show.... Alot of the old films are much better then present day ones. Just like Hocus Pocus and I can't believe that Sarah Jessica Parker starred in it too as well.

It's about 3 witches being brought back to life to present day by a kid. I used to be scared by some of the scenes, but now watching it back again.. it's just farnie. Anyway it is a comedy =)
Witches stealing lives from children, a talking cat, 3 kids to save the town. It's a nice light hearted movie on a Halloween Night =)

Now I only hope to be able to buy the disc back again.

Milk and Eggs

Not sure if I've written this. I used to luv milk, esp meiji brand... shiok! and the bottle looks so cute.
Even the gynae also say milk is the best.

The first time i tried a half cup of fresh milk, tummyache then LS, and I thot did i take too much rubbish tt day.
K, try again, 2nd time, drink chocolate milk, less then half cup, heat it up.
Less then 2 hours LS twice.
Crapz, so i gave up milk.

Was told Eggs is a gd substitute, 2 per day.. but i wonder then the cholestrol level how?
Anyway, yest i ate 2 Eggs - ２　ＥＧＧ　PRATA　＝）

The happy unions so far

Our first 3 unions...and all 3 females are pregnant...hahaha

It all started here =) 1998

Sentosa year 2000?

Breast feeding can be forever

Just wanna record something interesting that I learnt from my colleague. She was saying that breastfeeding can be done forever, so long as there is demand. That is, if the kid wants to be breastfed and the mother continues to latch the kid on to her breasts, the body will continue to supply milk. It just sounds like economics. Supply and demand! I didn't know this before. But she cautioned that this lowers the sex drive of the mother, and hence, the father may suffer from lack of sex life. Haha.

Meet up with NASS girls of MKG

My first post! Not sure if I'll be able to post the story coherently, but anyway, here goes..

Met up with NASS girls (SC and PY) at Ma Maison at Bugis. I drove there after work and buang the kerb as I was parking.. -_-''' And I need to re-park. The guy who was behind my car stare at me when he drove past me... Damn PAISEH LA! He must be thinking "FEMALE DRIVER".

Just broadly summarising what we talked about that night... Couldn't remember them all at the time of posting liao..

SC showed us her draft photo album in her iphone, and I gotta say, it looks really nice! I think the "feel" is there... But me and PY have differing ideas on what we think is the nicest photo. SC, post up the one that I think is nice leh, see what they say, but anyway, we will be seeing it very soon.

PY actually went to try her friend's wedding gown!! Haha. I wun say it looks pretty =P opps PY. Haha. No la, looks normal lo. I really want to see her with make up and hair all done in a nice nice gown though. And it'll be interesting to see her and WQ taking a nice smiley wedding shot, given that WQ hardly smiles......

I think SC also mentioned the idea of her bb hasn't really sank in yet.. Slowly ba.. Think as the stomach grows bigger it will sink in le.

I was to send SC and PY home. As I was driving out of the carpark, I BUANG again!! Luckily no car to drive past me to give me the "female driver" look again. Dunno if I can stop buanging kerb after 1 year of driving..

As I was finalising this entry, I looked up and saw this photo taken when we were 17. It was our 1st 3 months in TPJC, with Ah MA in commerce and us in science. It's been 11 freaking years! Time flies...

Dilemma

Hahhaa boliao a bit come to post here. Now that I've created this blog, I dunno where I should post my stuff. Here or my blog lol. So if it only concerns MKG then I'll post here ba. I wonder if Uncle managed to login here already or not. Eh all post leh, don't be lazy. See sc so supportive hehehe. Everyone please contribute something here.

I'm gonna dig out our old photos and edit them to be used as the blog banner that will be placed at the top or side of the blog. Otherwise this blog is only full of words and nothing else then a bit dull huh. So until then, please try your best to fill up the blog with as much sugar and spice and everything nice here. It's absolutely free so don't hesitate! Just do it!

The Toilet Bowl is my newest Best Fren

Visiting Mr Saniton is a must and has become a routine every night.
Sometimes 2am sometimes 4am.... He doesn't mind at all.

And I'm scared of eating 'hard to digest' food.
Cause when I see the mushroom floating around, it's exactly the same as how I see it 6 hours earlier before it goes into the mouth.

Blank and Stunned...

I have never been good at writing. There are always thoughts flowing around somewhere in the brain and am always talking, chit chatting here and there. However when we started this blog and I look at this page, i go blank... totally blank... not sure why.. just can't think of anything to write, it's weird....

Anyway, finally told my boss that I am expecting and telling him about resources cause next June I will not be around for the internal audit. Then out of nowhere, he asked me so are you happy? ... planned or unplanned...? I got stunned and dumbstruck and then finally answered "uhhhh, like that lor" hmmm

Somehow, I wasn't that all excited over this kid, but neither am I sad. It's like ok, I'm preggy and I will have a kid soon. Soon it'll be the teaching, the expenses, the etc etc etc and so on until the day I die. It's a lifelong commitment. You can't say no, I don't want it anymore and stop halfway. No No...

Well, I've always wanted a family with 2 kids well before 30 and now I've got a loving hubby, 1st kid on the way and a house coming soon before I am 28... Not bad ya....

Well well... not bad for a first blogger I would say....I commend myself.

The Opening of The MKG Blog

And it seems the hot topic now is being the Mum.
