A Year Older A Year Wiser or Reunion?

Glutinous rice balls or better known with the Chinese as 'Tang Yuan'...if you're wondering what's that strip of thing in the middle, it's ginger : )

I asked mum a long time ago about us having to consume this desert towards every year end (not that it's difficult to savor, in fact, I LOVE it!) Well, she just said that it's for us to grow a year older and wiser. There's also a story that people in the olden days used to work hard for the whole year and do not have time to return for a family reunion. Thus, this festival (the name of the desert actually imply REUNION in Chinese) was created a month before the Chinese New Year to gather relatives to prepare for the celebrations...

Enough said about this desert, the very first item prepared from our new induction cooker. Also, there's the fried rice which took 'Hon' 1 1/2 hours to prepare. Tasted good, no doubt, but I was so hungry that I've already gulped down a bowl of our desert before it was ready.


Of course we had something else to compliment the already ever tasty fried rice...

Never knew that 1kg of this spicy cabbage could cost up to RM36 a bag....

Frozen Kimchi...Good things comes with a price I guess...

Hundred years of blissful togetherness

This wedding couple doll was a gift from our reception guests. We actually wanted to get something like this on our own but remembered sis mentioning that this kind of stuff should come as a present from others...happy that it's ours now....thanks to our thoughtful guest.

Our wedding lamp is so-called traditional as we did not want an electric or battery operated one. But, it's not an ordinary oil lamp either as we couldn't get it to lit with oil alone....had to use turpentine instead.


Night shot of our lamp in action!


Then, there's our wedding car decoration using flowers bought earlier...


More flowers...classic cream rose hand bouquet....with berries added to our request...berries thrown in FREE from the florist : )



And...shoes to match...bought at the very last minute. Not that I did not buy any earlier....bought too many in fact, but, prefer using this comfy low platform pair.

Anythings Yellow

Back from a week of Happy Ever After! Haha...getting more obsessive with our yellow theme...great quality built-ins to show from our lovely cabinet designer...


Everything's made of solid wood....except for the handles and accessories of course! Definitely worth investing....Do email me for contact details as I would be glad to share...

More Preparations...on teapots and boxes

Been really busy these couple of weeks....just wanted to put up some pictures of our stuffs here...

Got this at a bargain....went scouting for teapots all over and finally settled with this...parents asked about the phoenix and dragon symbol on the pot but we figured that we wanted something more contemporary....the tray on the other hand was bought at a Chinese wedding customary shop in KL....traditional yet modern finish....


Tried covering the box using only ONE piece of wrapping paper and ended up getting this!
