The days after the wedding. . . part I, over honeymoon

Image
Well, i would say that the life after marriage was still as hetic as both the Tan Tan were busy bringing our japanese friend around in Singapore as well as to clear the post-events matters... Honeymoon was short... the Tan Tan flew to Bali on a Tuesday flight and back to Singapore on a Sat afternoon flight. . Kecak dance was still so outstanding though we watch it years back. Bali was nice. It was relaxing, nothing being done ... . . just lazing around .. go for spa, walk aimlessly . . enjoy our private plunge pool . . we had our "thousand petals candlelight dinner on the first night of arrival" - it was nice. . recovery that we need . . . . other than the tons of bebek . other than the kueh kueh that caused both of us to suffer from stomach flu . . Well, thats just a short post as I need more time to catch up to the time now... .hahaha.. i'm far behind time currently

Image
Dear all, the highs and low on the 13th passed quickly.. 14th, is the day that Tan Tan planned for ourselves.. its a party meant for everyone to enjoy.. to chill out .. to .. party !!! Lots of pre-preparations were done, including sourcing for additional lights, set-up, flowers, music, invite cards and wedding favors etc.etc. It was tough but definitely worth it. With the aid of our friends, the place was set-up.. overall result ... darn NICE !!! Well, the place was definitely enjoyable that even my new dad was having a good time with the swing. . Anyway, the theme for that night was festive and food served includes lobster linguini as well as ribeye roast, salmon and other great food. . . lots of booze were prepared too, red wine, white wine, rose, stella artortis. .. . even hard liquor though no-one actuallys knows its available. . and well..our favourite Wedding Cakes which we ordered from TEMPTATION off Upper East Coast Road. . and JEFF from temptation done such a GREAT job that a

Tan Tan Life on 13th June - Morning

Image
Hi Hi, 13th June was the day that the Tan Tan got together... one Tan woke up at 0700hrs to bathe, the other Tan woke up at 0545hrs due to "morning call" by her dad as he thought the make-up artist was coming at 0600hrs. . . hee The first Tan walked out of his bathroom in his towel and found that his "brother" team had already gathered. George, Elvin, Eric and Kum (who came in later as he sneaks off for breakfast) . . Anyway, the Tan and his party moved off at 0800hrs with Gabriel using his car 9890 as the bridal vehicle. Well, the morning fight for the bride ended up with the brothers team losing some of their hair (although though to find any on Elvin..hee hee) as well as the usual food tasting. . after that was the song and dance and I was drenched at the end of it.. the weather is soOoOOo HOT!! or maybe I'm hot.. Well, one Tan's mum is very sad and one Tan's mum is very happy... it is abit contradicting as it seems to be from different ends.... but w

Update updates

dear all, as both the Tan Tan had just returned from their honeymoon with gastric virual infections.. the updates will be done a later date.... sorry. . but in the meantime, some clip to share with you all

2 more days.... Just 2 more days to go

A week of leave from work but it is only applicable to office work. . was running ard more than compared to work.. compiling music, clearing the tasklist, preparation of sitting arrangement for day 1 and day 2 (Goosh!!! This is the worst!!) But through this preparation for the wedding, it also allows me to realise something, there is indeed a generation gap between our parents and us. . . For me, my dad is so absurd in that he actually BOOK a bus to ferry our guest!!! OMG!!! For her, its her mum applying whatever she feels as "nice" or "good" on her... stressing her days out. However, I would also need to say that through this, it makes us understanding how much our parents love us. One dad bought a red shirt and dye his hair for the first time, One dad who do not shop and keep his clothes until white becomes "brown" get a full set of new clothes, One dad who sliently work his best so as to earn for this wedding, One dad who pass a sum of hard-earned to hi

Running out of TIME!!!

Dear all, I am sorry to announce that due to the intensive preparations that need to be done for Tan Tan's BIG DAYS, I would not really have time to update the blog as often..

Now I'm getting to understand why people say Marriage is Once in a Lifetime!

Image
Now.. I finally understand the statement.. the statement as to why people always comment that marriage is for once in a lifetime. Really, the amount of work involved in this is tremendous and the management of 2 families expectations is not easy.. . I really mean it. . WOW!. This is the result when everyone with different opinons starts to give their views and as of all human beings, ALWAYS believes that they are always right. This is the same for everyone and now, Serina and I will be the sandwich in between, awaiting the diners to gobble us into their stomachs.. !! How I wish we are back to our WWOOFING days when there were no such headaches. No Work Stress and disturbance, No family pressure, Live Life As we Love it. . Just look at these 2 Tan Tans in the photo... don't they look good? Speaking about WWOOFing. it is really an experience which everyone should try. .. Work, Eat and Live with locals overseas and experience a real cultural exchange.. that must be the coolest program
