We've been suffering from what I call online deficiency.. I so wanna have internet access at home. I've been bugging Calvin to decide on which service provider to subscribe to. What do you think? Which should we go with? MaxOnline or SingNet??

It's ONE month away from our big day - the day that we've been planning and waiting for!! My heart is racing as I type this entry... sooo exciting!! So many things to do (still!), so many thoughts to think, so many plans to make.. so many so-many's!

CAN'T WAIT!!!! can't wait for Calvin to see me in my gown, can't wait to walk down the aisle, can't wait to say "I do", can't wait to take loads of photos, can't wait for the celebration at Senso, can't wait to have fun with family and friends, can't wait to see how our wedding cake looks, can't wait to go for our honeymoon... can't wait for the day to happen... can't wait to be Mrs Tey!!! oops... don't I sound a little... errm... too eager?? wahahahaha...

OMG.. I'm lovin' every bit of this!!!! ;D

While taking a little break from work, I found other tests at this site to play with. Look, my spelling's puurrfect... wahaha... go play with it, you'd probably score 100% too!

YX saw this on her friend's blog and I saw it on hers. See how blogs connect one another from all around the world... (^_-)

Well, I'm only 57% addicted to blogging.

We bought a new piece of "furniture" today! This is the 1st step in jazzing up our "black & white" home, and it's in the ME-colour!! I LOVE IT!!!

We invited Calvin's secondary school friends over for a gathering: to pass them our "red bomb" or should it be "black bomb" (haha); and to thank them for the mixer. So, I thought it'd be good if I could prepare some food using the mixer as a gesture of appreciation.

With Yuxiang's recipe, tips and encouragement, I decided to give the Billy's [Eric's] Vanilla, Vanilla Cupcakes a shot. [Esther, next up will be the mini min cheesecakes that you dedicated to me.. hehe]

I've always loved the pretty, cheery look that cupcakes exude. But, friends who know me will know that I don't eat cakes. The only kind of cakes that I eat are chiffon cakes [pandan cake is the best!]... at best, non-creamy cakes. So, I cracked my head a bit to think about how I should decorate my cupcakes. Cos I definitely want to eat my own cupcakes... I found the chocolate that I used for fondue and I decided that is it! Chocolate toppings for my cupcakes! There you go... My 1st attempt at baking (alone!).

Made some mistakes and learnt from them... Practice makes perfect. (^__*)

Well, of course I can't serve just cupcakes to my guests. Knowing how limited my skills & experience are, I resort to the easy way out... Pasta! Haha... easy to prepare.

We love the bacon rolls we had at Ikoi. They had bacon rolls with cocktail sausages, which we felt is a bit too meaty. So we did it with aspagarus & golden mushrooms. The vege kebabs definitely have lots of room for improvement. But overall, I'm happy if my guests are happy! :D

One other thing to work on: Food presentation!

erm... the mini cook was too busy being a cook that she forgot to take pictures of her guests. Thanks to Esther... click here to visit her blog for more lively pictures from the gathering. :p

Today's really a lazy day for us. We had planned to go for a walk but decided we're too lazy for it. Plus, we walked 8km yesterday, so we gave ourselves a "valid" excuse for not walking today. :p

After dinner, we made an impromptu decision to just chill out at home. Brought out a bottle of red, lit the candles, played a romantic movie called "The Holiday" and just chilled... It was a nice quiet evening that we both enjoyed. It is especially on days like these, that we so appreciate having a place of our own.

But thereafter, we both thought our place needs a bit of "warming up". It seems a little "cold" now, with the edgy beams & pillars, black & white furnishing and the lack of warm lights. So we'll probably put some effort in jazzing up our home after our wedding. :)

Our guest room had been the "hang-laundry" room since the day we moved in. Last week, with the help of Dennis & Eunice, we moved Calvin's single bed over from his mom's house. My handyman Calvin painted the bedframe black and it now looks totally brand new!!

We've also been blessed with a brand new mini-compo from Choon Yng & Shunliang and an almost brand new writing table from Winnie & Kim Seng. Now, the "hang-laundry" room is officially converted into a guest room cum study!
