Deliciously Me

Everyone has their fair share of the earthquake experience. Mine isn’t excluded.

I was in a car with my family members when the quake happened. All of us were waiting in car for my bro who dropped by a dental clinic for a quick inspection on his braces. Busy buried my nose in Hunger Games ebook, I knew the car shook but didn’t bother to voice it out. I was on chapter 21 where Katniss was about to attend the feast and therefore other 4 senses automatically ‘shunned down’ except for my eyes.

It was my mum who voiced out on the shook. She cried, “who shakes the car so violently?“

I was still reading, but it slower pace. My mind began to feel dizzy – the shook was indeed hard, but the drive of continue reading was so strong that I replied, “must be Dad, shaking his legs.“

My dad was reading newspaper at the front passenger side, he stopped reading too, inspecting the shook (I supposed) before looking at us via the back mirror and said, “Not me. I didn’t shake. Must be ah girl.“

My dad meant me. I sat upright, the shook was less violent now. My dad turned to face us, locking gaze with me and I can tell both of us were figuring out what was happening.

Then the shook stopped.

To think about it, Satkuru’s birthday celebrations since 4 years ago have been rather extraordinary. *perasan mode*

The first year we celebrated together in 2009, I got him his favourite MU jersey with his name ‘tattooed’ at the back all the way from UK (thanks to my good friend Karen for her help). In 2010, we celebrated in Ferringhi Garden Restaurant where we dined in candlelight (uber romantic celebration). The best celebration would be in 2011 where bunch of us celebrated his birthday in CHINA. As for this year I chose to bring him uphill.

2 weeks prior to his birthday, I sent him an invite via Pingg.

As you can see, there weren’t much information written on the card. That’s because I decided to surprise him on the venue.

A whole super sunny Saturday spent in Little India!

After lunch at Woodlands, we went from one shop to another asking for the bridal makeup package. The first shop was full, so we left after were shown the makeup package by the Indonesian worker. We then went to the second shop. However the owner told us that their makeup artist no longer works there. As for the third shop, the owner wasn’t in and all the workers were busy threading customers’ faces, so nobody was free to entertain us. The forth shop’s worker served us with super bored face. She didn’t sound energetic or passionate when explaining to us. Feeling dispirited, we left.

Then the mum brought us to a gold shop to show us how a Thali necklace would look like. I was told that a Thali necklace is made of a centre amulet and few pieces of ‘connectors’ joint to a chain. It said that the Thali has space (I supposed the connectors) for the relatives to add ‘charms/pendants’ to it as sign of welcoming the bride to the family during the wedding day.

I feel like updating my blog today – supposed to write a foodie post but not so fit to do so. Suspect myself to be a victim of food poisoning as my tummy is in discomfort the whole day today! Argh. Hate it when I’m not feeling well. Grrr

Since I have no energy to write, I’m thinking why not post up photos! I went through my photo album earlier and found few great photos waiting to be published here. You may not find them great, but to me they are. So, keep your opinion to yourself. Wahaha!

Photo 1: Brown shoes.

Brought myself a new pair of shoes. Tomorrow will be a big day for me, so a lil shopping spree helps wonderfully.

Few months back I wrote about my dilemma in finding the correct venue to host 700 guests. Now that I’ve secured the venue, I have another headache – finding the right wedding bands (rings).

Last year I proposed to Satkuru on getting gold rings as our wedding bands and he agreed. But as the price of gold increases and the designs of gold ring is not to my liking, I decided to put that idea aside.

After coming back from Japan, I happened to have a long conversation with my girls in Whatsapp. What a place to have girls talk right? I know! We somehow touched on the wedding bands topic. You see, I was thinking to just get our wedding bands a month before our registration of marriage (which we haven’t decide on the date yet) and my girls encouraged (in fact, pushed) me to do survey on few jewellery shops first. According to them, they took months to decide on their perfect wedding bands, and had to wait for few months before getting their rings as the jewellery shop has to order it. They even told me which jewellery shops to go to – let’s just said that they have surveyed all and concluded for me.

Feeling contented with the information, I told Satkuru that it’s time to walk into the jewellery shop to scout for our wedding bands. When he asked for the reason, I told him what my girls told me. He gave in and we started scouting last week.
