September Babies (1) - Angie, Huney, Joey and Peishi

Hi Huneybees,

September has come and gone in a flash (playing Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends in the background). That means, my birthday has passed too, and I'm a year older already....

My birthday falls on the 1st of Sep and so a few of us bloggers, whose birthdays also falls on Sep, decided a weekend out and spend an afternoon together.

Angie - 2nd September

Joey - 5th September

Peishi - 7th September

We first met for lunch at Liang Court's Saizeriya for some wonderful Italian / Japanese food at reasonable price. Check out what we had, I totally recommend this place for big groups to chill out and have a meal...

Afterwhich, the 4 of us walked over the Fort Canning Park, for a little camwhoring session. Being girls, we love to take photos, leave down memories of our "prettiness". LOL!

It's all about being in the nature and good company. Even though the sun was melting us, we still had lots of fun taking pictures with the beautiful flowers. We saw lots of couples and families having a picnic there. :)

Thanks to this nice gentleman for taking the group photo for us.

Then, we pondered on where to have dessert after the long walk and we decided on Marché®! And we headed off to their Vivocity branch.

My Bread and Butter Pudding.

Joey's Fruit Cake.

Peishi and Angie shared the Rosti. Yum yum!

Special thanks to Peishi for the adorable card. It's been a while I received a handwritten card. Love the feeling....

Joey also got me this Gloomy Bear HP pouch on her trip to M'sia. Cute right?

To bad Joey and I had to leave early for another event. Otherwise, we would have stayed on for more food and photos. I hope to do this soon again with the ladies....... :)

P.S. Do you like my signature at the end? Decided it's time to revamp the way I end my posts.... Like it?

The Happy Union

Hi Huneybees,

My backache's back. Dang it man...
But one happy thing happened to me over the weekend. I was invited to a wedding at Fort Canning Gallery. It was a union of a Chinese dude, You Kay and a Sikh lady, Shan; who by the way spoke perfect Mandarin.

Ok. I admit, I kinda self invited myself and hubby. You Kay's my Dad's friend's son and only my parents were invited and when my Mum showed me the invitation card, I just had to get myself in there. I've never been to an Indian wedding and I heard they celebrate for 1 week.

But a little to my disappointment, this was a simple affair and everything was kept to minimal. There was still some Indian essence in it, but nonetheless, we were just there to have fun and give our blessings to the couple.

Hmmm, my back's acting up again, so I'm just gona end this entry with some of the pictures I took that day... Take care and I'll update soon!

The bridal car.

Cute bears eh?

Listening to the JP.

Up comes the little ring bearer.

Beautiful bride right?

Making little jokes that made everyone chuckle.

Little confetti on the table.

While waiting for my turn to the buffet.

Yipee! Food! The section on the back is Indian cuisine.

Couple and little kid coming over to tables for photo taking.

Candies were prepared for Dholi.

Aunties getting ready for Dholi.

Bringing the plate up.

Dholi is demonstrated in the process below. It is like the Chinese wedding, where we give blessings to the couple, but it's with a twist. Here, the couple sits and waits for everyone to come on stage, they feed them candy and give them money and finally their blessings.
