baby ryan is finally here. my 1st news of pregnancy of an ex colleague in yr 2009, which started a trend of more preggie news from all over. i started seeing lotsa bumps on various friends as well.. all dying to avoid the ferocious tiger year. think i wont be able to attend the following few ones cus mum will sure forbid me to go. hmmm.
so tiny with so much hair. poor mummy had to endure 6 hours of labour before he popped out.
over the weekends we did major shopping for the wedding and flat.
i had originally wanted plain coloured plastic plates. but after scouring at the amk old town centre at this place where my family used to buy plastic plates, we realise plastic is not cheap at all! a freaking 5-7 bucks for a slightly nicer looking shape plastic dinner plate. and the shine is not even nice. a white round plastic plate costs $4. then i chanced upon robinsons webby while doing my usual auntie stuff looking at sales.. this 21 pc corelle set isnt exactly cheap, but its plain (very rare!) and light! i hate flowery and heavy porcelain plates. so we bought it. heh.
we also bought a set of bedsheets for our wedding/normal days. i love its simplicity with lightly embossed "xi" word all over the sheets. i dun like those super in-your-face kinda wedding sheets. and its almost half price.. cus they were clearing stock. still holding out for a major discount on the lead coloured quilt covers as its still darn ex even with a 20% discount!
next, this is my happiest buy of the day but yet we got a scolding from the in laws becus they have TWO sets passed down from the older siblings, but the boy totally forgot about it and i wasnt informed abt it at all. so nvm, i shall use it only for my side of the ceremony. i hope the passed down ones dont look like
or
.
i didnt buy this expresso cup though i would love to but it costs $17 for one small cup. it would look so classy and chic with a small little "xi" sticker on it. nothing too loud. the ones i bought i didnt snap snap cus now its all wrapped up safely. i guess i'll just have to try to give it to like minded people after my wedding.

on another note, i received the email regarding the last time i indicated my interest. and i really went ahead to do it! i can finally play many many stupid games on the train ride home! haa. will definitely prove useful when i take the 45 mins ride home in the future.

worrying abt parents' safety.

getting my fitness back into shape by WALKING 4.3km in 40 mins and burning half the amt of calories i usually burn in 40 mins.
blurred eyes.
i actually feel accomplished, amazed by myself in fact. but i cant keep this up for too long.
some shots from the lca during the shoot, its so blur, that its best seen small.
my photographer, the assistant. and my boy picking out the gerberas for our shoot. :)
some shots from the holga during the shoot.
think i might stop using the lca for awhile since its giving me such bad results. the holga is giving me crystal clear pics even though my distance guesstimation still sucks.

we had an amazing time during the shoot yesterday..
beatrice, candy, sean and michael were such entertaining peeps lor! hardly a dull moment with them around.. even my boy was highly entertained by them! =p
beatrice who made the extra effort to arrive at 9am even though she only needed to report for work at 12.30... candy who transformed us into the best looking we can be.. hahahah.. and sean and michael who kept us laughing and laughing with their funny antics and uncold jokes.. lol. i wouldnt have any other people do our wedding other than them!
some tiny things which we've sneakily snapped..
im so glad we made the right choice blindly walking into this shop just by me making one of my irratic nonsensical decisions... yay for sophia!

seriously, sometimes i wonder i even bother involving her in my daily life. why do i make the effort to come home early, watch sappy tv serials which i dun like. when all she does is to put me down.
