our quiet getaway

Just 3 days into our domesticated life, we headed off into a quiet suite of lush vegetation, charming english scones, antique beds and nice tubs for a well deserved soak right in the heart of Singapore.
A complimentary room stay from our wedding. the luxury of checking in at 530pm till 24 hrs later.



walking into the room and we were greeted with a basketful full of fruits. Dragon fruit, grapes, oranges, granny smith, grapefruit and a box of chocolates.
here's looking out of the antique window from the dining room into the bedroom..


The huge comfy bed!


Another antique! Cupboard that houses a TV (small, not very good.. around 21 inch) ands a Bose CD/ radio player (reception not very clear, and pity we didn't bring our CDs)


Always love a relaxing soak...

Complimentary chocolates.


we had a good rest.
everything is so seculded..

It's tomorrow!

We had our rehearsal today.
I'm happy, I'm touched.
I can even cry. You looked so in love.
I am in love with you too.
You are my star.

You know you mean so much to me.
Just that it got difficult for me when I have to write it in vows.
It became so long.
I will make it short and simple.
But you know what i mean.

I'm nervous about tomorrow though.
It looks like it's going to rain.

Wardrobe

Fixing up the extension of our wardrobe.


We finally have a mirror in our room. Full length. Next to the wardrobe.


Newly fixed blinds. I know it's been tough on you, It's an uncomfortable angle to drill.

Very much!

Delicious Egg tart from Tai Thong Cake Shop. As good as the one I ate in Hong Kong!
It's so smooth and soft.

2nd of June

According to chinese tradition, the bride and groom, together with the bride's mum has to distribute cakes with the invitation cards to each relatives. The relatives applies to the bride's side.

Instead of giviving out cakes, my mum decided to gives the traditional "marry daughter's biscuits" literal translation (Jia Nu er Bing). The is what the cantonese used to give traditionally.
Therefore we got the biscuits from Tai Thong cake shop from Mosque St- Chinatown. It is really a step back into the 60s. Everything looks very vintage.

Check out the receipt!
