Hello everyone!
Hope ur weekend was great! I had a busy day collecting his suit, looking at mens shoes (he cant decide) and having a great homecooked meal at home.
Life's simple pleasures.

Some long overdue posts!
I feel so hungry again looking at the delicious food - Did I mention that I keep forgetting to go on a diet??
:(



One previous Sunday, we did lunch at our small little favourite Italian restaurant.







They serve unpretentious great quality Italian food.



This hot fluffy bread is sooooo goddamn good I had to stop myself from finishing it!



My favourite starter - I've always had a soft spot for mozzarella cheese.
And when olive oil is drizzled lightly over the cheese, rocket leaves and juicy red tomatoes .. its heavenly! I can eat this everyday!





Our 2nd starter.
The rock melon was so sweet and it complements the salty parma ham perfectly!



A playful double-tiered skirt for a weekend outing.



Soon it was time for our main course.
He ordered a Vongole.



And I stuck to an old-time pasta recipe.. Carbonara!



It was a great meal on a lazy Sunday!

Trattoria Lafiandra al Museo (Singapore Art Museum)

We then had dinner with my mum.





I like scooping rice for everyone!
Coz I'll force everyone to eat more .. hehehe!







Here's what I wore that day.



Thank you ClubCouture!
It was a fun skirt to wear!

A small preview of my pre-wedding photoshoot!





These are the only ones I have at the moment!
I loveee how rustic it feels - Simple and uncomplicated.
:)

Have a nice week ahead!
God bless.

Finally collecting our wedding invites tomorrow!
This is our personalised monogram - we even made an embossed stamp so that we could keep it as a memento even after the wedding is over.
We're putting it on the cards, menu, pictures etc.



So tomorrow got to tie ribbon, stamp envelope, and then write everything out - he's off to the Jungle so I got to do everything for him! Burning midnight oil.. reminds me of when I was mugging for my exams!
:p

The next couple of weeks will be a crazy time but Im pretty much enjoying the ride!
Hope u guys wun get bored hearing me go on and go about it, thou!
*wink*

God bless!
Back soon.

Saturday 27 Aug

We had to catch Jackyyyyy ... !!!

Really very very very the nice lor his old songs... !



He even did a tribute to Lydia Sum.
Which I found to be extremely sweet coz I admire her too!

I had a ROLLING GOOD TIME at the concert!
Were you there too?
;D



Sunday 28 Aug

It was bright and early with church practise (though usually we start in the afternoon.. ) so after church we headed down to Thomson Plaza!



Congratulations to KIRA on their Retail Outlet Grand Opening!





I love looking at flowers!
:)



CEO Mr Kenny holding the mandarin oranges and red red huat banner.



Lion dance always reminds me of Chinese New Year, barbecued pork, red angpows and old Stephen Chow movies on TV! LOL!



Walking in ..





KIRA Retail Outlet in Thomson Plaza sells an array of products.
This is the one I was telling you previously!
:)



And lastly.. do u see what I see?
:p



And then I had a meeting with a little Princess.





Yes .. you!



We had a nice coffee break at Thomson before heading to Marina Square for some shopping!



Her mummy is choosing clothes for the Princess!



She needs to take a look at it herself before deciding...



You like it, Paige darling?
I guess its a YES, then! :D



Soon it was dinner time and off we went to The Esplanade for some Korean BBQ!



OMG look at the beef we had!



Abso-f-lutely GOOD.



Had to try some cold noodles, Korean style.



Yummyyyyy !!





Mummy loves Princess!
She's so cute and pretty - we love her very very much too!



Thanks for the dinner my dearest friends G & P.. !
See you guys real soon with Princess Paige.
xoxoxoxoxo



Thanks for being patient dear all!
Been so busy running around with the wedding prep ~
Thankfully everything is still pretty on schedule except the drama with my invitation cards and there might be a slight delay in sending them out.
:(

But Im trying not to stress over it - I guess sending them 2-3 weeks before the wedding might not be a bad thing afterall!
Hopefully people wouldnt forget to come, then!
:p

"And I never ask what I'm doing the next day. I don't want to know what I'm doing tomorrow. It's much too overwhelming. So I just go day by day - without knowing."

And thats exactly who I am.

Take care everyone!
Have fun during the weekend ~

-------------------------------

Okie thanks and take care guys!
It was fun replying tags - I do think its kinda therapeutic answering them.

Looking at it makes me glad that this is a friendly place becoz there are so many haters out there in the blogsphere, it gets really scary sometimes.

At the end of the day , we are all just humans afterall.
There are no 'better' or 'glamorous' lifestyles - we are who we are.
We come with nothing in this world and one day we will leave with nothing.

My mantra in life is usually just to stay HAPPY becoz there are so many things going on -
You will never know what's going to happen next.
I tell the people I love how much exactly I love them becoz I never believe in living with regrets.

And if I were to live life all over again - I want to be able to say : "I'll re-do everything exactly the same I did it."

Keep on smiling.
God loves u.

xoxo
Back real soon.
:)
