P.S, We love you :)

It was my cousin's wedding on Sunday. 

The whole family was pretty excited cos it's the first wedding from my generation and the last one in my family was 20 years ago! LOL.

Everyone was up bright and early to my uncle's place for the tea ceremony.

Camwhoring before the bride and groom arrives!

Girls power! :)

It was so agonizing waiting for them to arrive. 

We were camping at the front door waiting for the lift to reach the 30th level.

And finally! The matchmaker!

Pretty bride and handsome groom!

My cousin's stunned face. Cos we told him he needs to go through another round of gatecrashing before he can enter his home. Haha.

Smart me quickly snapped a picture with the bride before the tea ceremony.

It was our first time seeing her and she's really pretty! :)

And everyone started taking picture with her. haha

Look how happy Grandma is at the tea ceremony.
Think she's the most excited of all.. Calling up her children everyday, buying jewelry and thinking how much ang pow to wrap. haha. 

Offering tea to the elderly..

It was so funny cos everyone was so nervous when it was their turn to be served.

And we have to serve tea to the newly wed too!

嫂嫂's request. LOL.

While the older generation were wishing them 早生贵子, we were reminding our cousin to bring us ang pow during CNY next year! HAHAHA

Headed to my cousin's new place cos they have some 跳床 ceremony. 

And this little darling captures my heart the whole day. 

Sooooo cute!

He was so shy at first until they gave him a Thomas the train as an incentive to jump on the bed.
Still a little shy until his father use the ultimate plan- Gangnam style!
And this little angel shows his devilish side, rolling and jumping around. HAHA.

Headed home for a little rest before going to their Solemnization at Goodwood Park Hotel.

My pretty cousins:) 

Aunties with the groom.. My cousin looks really good that day, doesn't he?

 The newly wed and their family ♥♥

The little heartthrob who refuses to take picture with me :(

Love his little bow tie and suspenders!

After my grandma, the next person who was so excited over the wedding must be my sis. Haha.

The newly wed, looking really good :)

It was my first time attending a dinner by the pool side and it was sucha cosy affair.

And a very different wedding token

So good to see granny so happy! :)) 

 Love love love this!
My cutest grandma and cousin :)

The little cutiepie was shouting at the top of his voice during the toast. How cute can he get??

Then we started goofing around the poolside

Failed attempt to throw the groom into the pool and got a super ugly expression captured. Roarr.

Wedding is such a beautiful event and I love to sink in the atmosphere of love and happiness, especially in a family wedding! 

I still remember my cousin staying over at my place when I was younger and he was my favourite playmate then. Haha now we are all grown up and he's married! Can't wait for the wife to join in our future family gathering and know her better :)

Have a blissful marriage Pei Sen and Wei Xin!

P.S. We love you! :))

Who doesn't need their Korean fill?

I have been madly craving for some Korean food the whole week so Ssikkek we went!

This time, we tried out the branch at Bras Basah Complex and I love it for its "less- crowded" feel.
The only thing is the ventilation was not very good and we left the place smelling a little like the BBQ pork :(

It took over the old Union Bookshop ( I remember I used to go there during my primary and secondary school time to get cheaper- than- popular textbooks).
Perhaps the store is bigger, the tables looked more spaced out and the un-renovated place makes it look like those authentic Korea BBQ shops we see in teevee *100% bias* hahaha.
I love Ssikkek cos it's always and ONLY run by Koreans and their meat is duper good!

I find it reasonably priced for the amount of meat they serve.


Look at these!

If only they could provide more sides..

The happy duo! :))

10x love for this.. I am always reminded of those I had in Korea with my girls when I have this.
Wrap up the hot piece of meat in the cold crunchy veggie and stuff it into your mouth!
맛있다!!

Gonna sort out my pictures for my cousin's wedding before I blog again!

Recipe: Glutinous Rice

I was bored on a Friday night and decided to make something for the family to eat.
Wanted it fuss- free and fast, glutinous rice it shall be!

The ingredients were really simple, just quite some effort to dice all of them. The amount and type of ingredients pretty much depends on your personal preference. I just put what I can find at home.

For a rough guide:

• 2 cup of glutinous rice ( I soaked them overnight)
• 2 Chinese sausages
• 6 Shitake mushrooms
• Shallots
• Dried shrimps
• 2 caps of light soya sauce
• 2 tablespoon of oyster sauce

1. Heat up the wok and add in about 2 tablespoon of oil. Add in the shallots and dried shrimps first. (Remember not to use too a fire cos the shallot burns really easily).
   
2. Add in the rest of the ingredients after you smell the fragrance of the fried shallots.
   
3. Stir in the rice with the rest of the seasonings. It should look something like this.
   
   
   
4. Transfer the rice over to the steamer and steam for about an hour or till the rice soften. (Tip: Sprinkle some water over the rice as and when to prevent the rice from drying up). The colour will darken and the grains will look a little translucent and glossy like this and you are ready to tuck in!

The whole week has been spent mostly with the dearest sis hanging around in town. Finally the mugger has finished her As and it's time to let loose!

I love shopping with the sister though it can get really tiring despite our constant breaks for food. LOL.

I think age is really catching up, the younger sis can shop and blabber NON STOP for her prom stuff and I just asked to go home after getting all the stuff! haha.

We headed to Far East for our manicure session cos my cousin is getting married this Sunday! 

Sis introduced me to Nana Thai for lunch. 

The whole place feels like we are dining in Malaysia and it's rather old school so I added some retro effect to my photo. Pretty apt rite? :p

It's pretty funny they wrote Thai Seafood Restaurant on their signboard but I didn't find my Phad Thai or Tom Yum soup in their menu.

The noodles were really good! Especially my beef kway teow!

Sis' first time doing her nails and they were really pretty! :)

Can't wait for cousin's wedding tomorrow! It's like my first family's wedding after 20 years! Hahahaha.
