Family affair

Wedding - not only it's a special occasion for the groom and bride, but also for close family members and friends. A wedding is a time where we all gather together for some bonding and strengthening of family ties and friendships. It is through weddings that we meet family members and friends whom we hardly see on our normal routine.
I, for one love attending weddings (especially in a family)...it's not so much of the food and the dressing up (ok...that is also one of the factors why I love weddings) hehe.....but more on the anticipation of getting to meet most of my family members whom I dont get to see very often in my daily life.

One wedding which I enjoyed recently is of a 2nd cousin's which took place on 2 June, 2012.
Ok..I gotta admit that I'm not close at all to this cousin of mine cos we hardly see him and he's not even based here in Msia. But that's besides the point. Our parents are close to each other and we sometimes hang out at his parents' place just for dinner or over a few glasses of drinks. So when the big news came that William is finally tying the knot, we were all excited and looked forward to this big day. Not only for him, but also a chance for all our family members to gather and reconcile with each other.

It was indeed a pleasant and enjoyable day. It started off with a very traditional wedding ceremony in the morning, followed by a great evening! We had a great time catching up with each other (uncles, aunties, cousins, young nephews and nieces, etc) I, for one thoroughly enjoyed the day spent with my family members, having a jolly great night with them!

My super smart cuz William and his brainy and capable wife Jiun Jen...what a lovely couple! (He's like a teddy bear to her petite figure)

And the camwhoring begun from the cocktail session..... :)

12th and 9th Valentine's Day

The whole world celebrated the big V day 3 days ago...and so did we ;)

It was our 12th Valentine's day as a couple and 9th as husband and wife :)

Love was indeed in the air and we could not have asked for a better V day celebrated with each other and with our beloved munchkins! And what a day it was as we both reminisced it with much sweet memories of the day. It was exactly 9 years ago in 2003 that the proposal was made and agreed :) TWELVE & NINE years on and we feel so blessed to have found each other and also with the arrivals of both our munchkins. God has been kind to us and we truly cherish what we are blessed with so far.....

No big gifts needed to make us feel the love and happiness we have been blesssed with on this special day of love...just the fact that we have each other - that's all it matters......

Thanking God everyday for His blessing and love provided for me and mine.........

Influx of photos!

Was going through the thousands of photos on my iPhoto and came across some of the cutest shots of my beloved munchkins and of cos some memorable ones taken less than a year ago and over the past few months!

I shall call this post my super loaded-favorite-big-ass-photos post! hehe

My beloved BFF! She is the one who stood by me through thick and thin (cliche but true) and she is one who would not hide her feelings, thoughts, and opinions from me. Yes! she is one sharp shooter when it comes to conversations and I truly adore and cherish this friendship I found 14 years ago! Glad that I found her and glad that she came into my life! Love this girl to bits!

No description needed for this. My love, my life, my everything! The MAN of my life!

Almost forgot this shot of my beloved Munchkin #2! This was taken for his China visa

I love discovering toys left behind by my boys, especially Roy. It's as if they are marking their territories in the house and all these small lil gestures just put a smile on my face. Dont ask me why but I just love seeing scenes like this around the house....

My MEN, My BOSSES, My LIFE, My EVERYTHING! Cant imagine my life without any of them!

What more could I ask for????? A christmas well spent with the people I love, treasure, cherish and appreciate....

Happy Christmas everyone!........Have a blessed new year! See you in 2010!

A date with Alan & Hacken

First of all, I dont own a single album of neither singer.

Secondly, I dont read, write or even converse in Cantonese in my daily life.

But those didnt deter me and hubby from catching both singers in concert last Saturday.

To be honest, I dont find more than half of the total songs they sang familiar, I was clueless on the lyrics featured on the 2 big screens next to the stage and yet we enjoyed the show thoroughly.

Alan and Hacken were two of the most famous singers in HK, especially during the 70s and 80s (for Alan, when he first started with the Wynners) and 90s and early 21st century for Hacken. It was indeed a concert well done and prepared eventhough they have been performing in Malaysia numerous times and if I'm not mistaken, annually for the past few years. It was a concert worth watching and we didnt regret going, eventhough we were clueless on most of the songs they sang during the entire concert. Poor hubby was even more clueless than me because he couldnt understand a single thing both singers were saying on stage and I had to be his personal translater with my half past six fluency on the language.

Well, we enjoyed ourselves, nevertheless.....in fact, it was our first live concert together since we knew each other! A memorable one indeed.......

Pictures taken from my phone....

Computerised (they admitted on stage) pictures of the two "muscular" singers

We were one of the early birds to arrive (kiasu - arrived 2 hrs before show started)..so apa lagi...take pics la!

Still-empty stadium

From our seat - Row 18 from the front. Not very near though, couldnt even see their faces.

It wasnt a full-house concert and the best part was - we've got the whole row to ourselves! No joke!

A good, exciting, memorable and fun date indeed.......
