CNY 2013

Its time of the year again, where somewhere in China, flowers bloom full, and mandarin oranges pop out like  mushrooms :)

Only this time, the week is packed with J's birthday, and Valentines day! while for me, i have only 4 days off from work.

We began our journey back to my hometown on eve night. Just because I didn't want to be caught up by the jam, we decided to skip reunion dinner for a smooth sailing journey.

CNY this year was slightly better cuz I won some money in gambling. Its a tradition in almost every house to gamble on this auspicious day.. hahhaa.. blackjack, poker, mahjong, whatever you can gamble on, its game!

Besides that, it was plain simple, spending time with family during my 2 day stay at home.
(i'm working today!)

A short nice holiday...

7th Feb was Josh's birthday. He turned 31.
Another relaxing night which turned to a drinking game night. 2 days in a row drinking. I think I have levelled up my alchohol intake this week! Hehe

Anyways, here are some CNY pictures for memories :

Reception

First and foremost, Thank you dad, for the booze and the awesome band that came from The UK :) 

Thank you for those who came and made my day even more beautiful with your presence! 

I got to meet my classmates, teachers, extended families and old buddies which some even flew in from corners of the world to attend this day.. 

What else can I say.... this evening was all about Yummmm Senggggg's and food. 

@ Cocktail lounge

 

We had a magician who freaked entertained the crowd while I was getting ready

 
It was getting a little to crowded
So we brought the fun into the hall :)

We had a long after party later that night. We were all having too much fun till we forgot to take photos. 

Party only ended at 5.30am!!

We got kicked out from the hall, then we moved to the hotel's pub, and got kicked out from there too when they closed at 3.30ish/4

so we headed for some chill out time at a local mamak with some shisha

It was indeed a good night

If only every night could be like this.. ahaha

The Church

Wedding

Date: 10.11.12 (10 Nov 12)

Venue: St John's Church Ipoh

The day finally came where I would be wedded to Joshua, in a church.

As some may know, we got registered exactly a year before, on 11.11.11

This is a long overdue post, which I hope you feast your eyes in this very happy and memorial day

which I have frozen from time

The Prep:

The Mood:

There was a little running around to do a day before the wedding, and on the wedding day.
You see the little petals on the red carpet? I had to pay 150 bucks for that because I forgot to order them earlier.  The florist was kind enough to tear up his roses and orchids just for me..
When you're desperate, $150 is like a penny. 

The groom, entertaining guest while waiting

The crowd anticipating the moment and admiring the beautiful church..
The weather was a little wet, but thank God it wasn't raining when I entered

 

Here comes, ME!

The Grooms' men

 A minor hiccup - the music for my walk in was not playing!!! 

But my brother in law , Jeremy saved the day... he sang and strummed the guitar~ 

while we marched in
