Hubby's away....TIME TO PARTY!!!

Our First Western Meal with Zhenlin & Ah Pek
Mussels! YUM
Creepy Crawlies
DIE!!!!!! U MUST DIE!!

Sushi Turned out a little Soggy..but Tasty.

We Thought this was Eel! Turns out to be Mackerel!

Two babes @ work

Chef Liew Rocks!SLURP....dont u wish u were here?

My baby is still in Shanghai. After 10 days of getting married, my baby is off to Bkk for GOLF n then Shanghai for work. Talk about having sex every night after marriage!Hahaha. But it's really a refreshing change to have the big house all by yourself n catching up with old friends and most importantly catching up with yourself n all those outstanding shit!

Had a cookout session n compared to our first cooking session (made up of steaks, mussels, carbonara..basically western), i think we did a better job at reducing wastage! It's terrible u know to have so much leftovers! Second session was with my new relatives. Sis and bro-in-law and couz-in-law who unfortunately had to leave early coz she was unwell. Nevertheless it was really fun. Check out the 6 crabs i bought from Giant. 3 for $8.90! It's a steal! Those little rascals sure would crawl. Despite being tied, they crawled from my kitchen all the way to the balcony whilst i was bathing. they did this 5 times until i decided to put the notie one into a pail. Killing em was another skill. Peishi used a long chopstick and we all took turns to poke the poor thing. Chef Liew whipped up a mean meal with the blechan given by Godma...yummy chilli sotong and stingray. Needless to say, there wasn't too much of a wastage. (just the miso soup which was really too much and we saved 3 crabs for another day. =)

CHEERS! GOOD JOB!

Guo Da Li

Just realised that I didn't really write about the Guo Da Li. This happened 2 wks b4 my weddding. Thankfully I had my old aunt who was well versed in all the traditions. Here's a rundown of what was given:

Stuff that Bridegroom side must give:

1. A roast pig (to be given on wedding day)



2. 2 bottle sof hard liquor



3. 12 boxes of cakes & 38 cake vouchers



4. Pin jin for bride's mother



5. Ang pow for grandparents



6. ginko nuts, lotus seeds, red dates and dried longans

Stuff that bride side must return to groom:

1. Chop off the middle section of the roast pig and leave only the head, and legs of the pig. replace the chopped off section with a pair of pants for teh groom wrapped in plastic reason for this is "Da Fu Da Gui" to the groom. But COME ON!! we are in the new century! this is all replaced by an angbao



2. 2 bottles of F&N strawberry



3. Give teapot set to groomside



4. Give a packet of ginko nuts, lotus seeds, red dates and dried longans to groom side



5. Pass a pair of lamps to groom (which must be lighted throughout the day of marriage)



6. Bride must give ang bao to groom's parents, siblings (for buying new clothes)..errrr..can't quite remember if this was done!Hahah
   

On the day of Guo Da Li, my mil also went over to our love nest to An Chuang. This is an important part of the Chinese tradition. Wonder if they got little dragon virgin boys to jump on my bed!hahaha....thereafter, we weren't suppose to sleep on the bed until wedding day. The items on the bed were to be placed on the bed for 3 days n no one is allowed to touch! All tresspassers will be prosecuted!
