My dearest mummy gave me her vintage kerongsang (traditional brooch) for my wedding kebaya!
Its extremely delicate and well-made, something u cant really find in Singapore already.
Its a part of her collection over the years but unfortunately she gave or donated a huge portion of my grandmother's kebayas n small items when she passed away.
But still, I am extremely blessed- I think its such an honour wearing a part of history on my wedding day.
:)
Have a lovely weekend dear all!
In off to lunch with our parents.

Hello everyone!
TGIF! I loveeee spending the weekends back in Singapore.
There are so many errands to run and people to meet. Then there is my family - as obnoxious and noisy as they are : I love them to bits and can never wait to go for never-ending dinners and endless phonecalls with my long-winded mother.
Its amazing how she calls to tell me something but inevitably end up talking about something else.
Just like how I would become.. some 20 years later.
:p
Back to the final and last part of Bangkok... the shopping!
Oh my god.. I cant wait to go back there again.
And this is only room service.
We love getting room service whenever we go on a holiday.
Maybe its the whole 'eating-in-bed' kinda luxury that we dun normally get at home - either that, or we are just two very lazy people who like to eat supper.
Heehee.
And the next day, we went for some brunch once we woke up!
And I saw a hugeeee instant cup noodle!
In tom yum, no less!
Then the shopping begins...
Soon it was time to go home.
But once a shopaholic, always a shopaholic.
***
Weekends with the boyfriend is blissful.
One of the best kept secrets in Italian dining locally.
It is a great way to spend a lazy Sunday.

Sundays are made of late lunches, sparkling water and a great dessert to sweeten the deal.
Have a fabulous week ahead!

Hello girls!
Hows the week coming along? Time flies! N I heard that there was a disruption on SMRT?
Hopefully u guys made it to the office!
:)
- Last Night in ChiangMai -
We took a stroll to the 'rice field' and had a small private dinner at the resort's restaurant.
I love the rustic, woody feel of the place.
Being very close to nature - I could hear toads croaking in perfect harmony.
We even saw one hopping pass us when we were eating!
Drinks.
Back to our villa.
The next morning...
We went for breakfast before checking out.
Cooking.
Then we left for... BANGKOK!
We took a domestic flight on ThaiAirways and in no time, we got to Suvarbabhumi Airport!
We stayed at the Westin.
Its nice and cosy - perfect for a night's stay in the city.
We went for lunch straighaway!
We love having cheap local food!
Off to the bookshop.
MBK!
I also loveeee getting cheap hair washes!
Their skills are amazing...
Before we knew it, night falls and its time for DINNER!
Hawkers on the roads, cheap birdnest and plenty of sharks fin restaurants everywhere.
Can u guess where?
.
.
.
Chinatown, of coz!
My face says it all!
Bird's nest to end the dinner.. yums!
Walking along the streets of Chinatown.
Everytime I come back to Chinatown, its exactly the same as it was.
Unlike us - the countless new developments going on concurrently makes me wonder : when will it ever stop?
Not Chinatown here, I could come back 10 years later and I believe it will look status quo!
Perhaps I like some things unchanged better, hence the decision of going to Malacca for my pre-wedding shots becoz I am so in love with the old heritage buildings there.
And what is a night in BKK without going to Patpong?
And then we ended the night sitting at the hotel lounge, listening to the jazz singers and their rendition's of Rihanna's Umbrella.
It was lovely.
Goodbye everyone!
Im off to work later.
Back real soon.
