First day of freedom!

It is the very first day of my 2 weeks of annual leave. I must say that it feels great to be away from the office. Getting invitations out to all the people has been a hassle. I still have some invites left to send out. Yes yes, I know I'm a bit late but then again I've already got verbal confirmations. I'm blardy tired.

Had diner today with Clara and Michelle, my 2 gfs who are helping me handle my wedding. I felt so unprepared for the wedding. Uh oh... not a good feeling. We sat and discussed stuff all the way till late. Poor girls, having to work tomorrow.

Exchange of gifts

Exchange of betrothal gifts

I just got back from Shanghai yesterday morning and pretty mch slept the whole day away. Flying the midnite flight to and from Shanghai was no fun. I got so stiff and The fella next to me kept jabbing me with his elbow and stretching his legs over to my side. I stomped on his foot with my shoes and he got the idea. Thank goodness.

I headed out to Mummy's home about 30 mins before Andrew set out from his mummy's place. I arrived at 10.15am and they arrived past 11am. Andrew came over with gifts (*drool*) together with his 4th aunt and his eldest bro. Got tons of Henessey, auspicious goodies, 24 cans of pork legs and bling bling!

Alcohol

Andrew's 4th aunt and alcohol!

Cute baskets

Auspicious-sounding goodies in those cute baskets. Ah... Chinese traditions.

My tai gu (my dad's eldest sis) was great coz she came all the way from Malaysia to help out with the exchange. My yee pak (my dad's 2nd bro) and wife turned up too. Nice! :)
