Boss was chatting over lunch whether my colleague and I are Gen X or Y. He says he belongs to the babyboomers era. Anyway according to him, the difference in Gen X and Y are:
Gen X: takes digital pictures of themselves
Gen Y: takes digital pictures, posts it online, blogs about it...
So I guess I'm Gen Y.
He proceeds to ask us if we blog.
Not wanting him to ask me what my blog address is, I told him that I didn't blog.
So yah, I don't have a blog lor...

Pictures
First few shots from my own camera: not a single shot of me in it cos apparently the camerawoman doesn't take flattering shots of the bride, so all censored out! hehe...
the TWO men in my life: my hubby and my daddy
(the pink-shirted man is my dad-in-law)
my HOT mum and cute dad: his facial expression is damn funny!
mum-in-law and my grandma, a spritely 90-yr-old! so honoured that she's present
the chest and the boobs (i meant the cupcakes, what were you thinking?)
my sisters and my cousin

19 June 2008 (^_^)
And so the day I’ve been looking forward to came and went… It was a ball of nerves, excitement, fun and laughter all rolled into one, and ended up oh so sweet…
Don’t really have many photos yet to tell the story, but from the photos I’ve seen so far, and the feedback that I’ve got, seems like everyone enjoyed themselves, food was not bad, cupcakes were cute, venue though small was intimate, though I’m sure nobody could hear us say our vows ‘cos we opted not to get the mike.
Lesson I’ve learnt: things always work themselves out in the end…
- The venue flowers were supposed to be yellow roses with white eustomas, but turned out to be white + pink champagne roses with yellow/green orchids and vines… but it matched my bouquet of white and pink champagne roses perfectly.
- My cupcakes, though not a complete match to my specifications, turned out cute and yummy! The tier was pretty too!
- My skin, though still terrible, looked pretty decent after the makeup artist did his wonders… and no major wardrobe mishaps occurred…
- And though it was rainy the day before and looked totally cloudy before the ceremony, the weather held and it was nice and sunny (though abit too stuffy and humid) and the solemnization was carried out outdoors as planned…
- Though TJ and I were nervous and excited and rushed and everything, the solemnization went well (ok we both really have a lot of amusing facial expressions) and I think everyone had a good time (I hope)
And in the end… I’m thankful for a lot of things, for having a supportive and caring family (so touched that my grandmother turned up), for having great friends who went out of their way to help (esp my photographer Delvin), and for the rest who took leave specially to join us… and most of all, thankful that at the end of the day, I’ve found you and we’ll have so many more sweet moments in the future…
P.S. In the meantime you can go Yun’s blog to check out photos!

Do you remember
Inspired by a Jack Johnson song that I love
Do you remember…
- When we first met, we chit-chatted on the train all the way from Buona Vista to Bugis and XM was beside us looking very bored, sms-ing his gf?
- The times we were sitting on the bus from Outram Park MRT to Jurong Island (vv) and we were talking about cats, exercise, food etc., and when we just go to the pantry to heat up our tabao-ed food, while everyone heads down to the canteen to eat?
- How it felt so warm and fuzzy sitting on Changi Beach on our sandals back-to-back while watching airplanes fly by and talking about everything and nothing in general?
- The first time we held hands after we finally told each other how we felt, in that small park in Serangoon Gardens?
- The first flowers you gave me and you told me you wanted us to look forward to the bright future together?
- When I fell very sick living alone in the hostel, you came over to nurse me, putting wet towels on my forehead, fetching water for me, buying me “honeysucker” water, porridge and feeding me my meds? And when I was having dysentery you came over to saying me, and called pharmacies for me to help me find medicine, looked so worried and wanted to send me to the hospital?
- Our cycling sessions to East Coast Park, sometimes with yummy picnics thrown in between?
- The time we went MacRitchie for tree-top walk and were totally drenched by the torrential rain, your sandals broke and we had to walk through the country club to find a cab? Thank goodness you always prepare some food on our outdoor adventures.
- How I’ll be so bitchy and irritating when you’re away (in Canada, China, Batam etc.) but when you’re back everything disappears and I’m so happy to see you?
- All our little cookouts in your house, from pasta and salad to pineapple rice and green curry?
- Our salsa/mahjong/squash/chilling out/outdoor adventures with our dear FAGs?
- Your dreadful accident and how all the arrangements sucked but you were still trying to be upbeat and cheer your mum and me up? And how I was so glad to finally see you get well. Your positive spirit always never fails to uplift me too
- All the little arguments we had over the wedding preparations, but one of us will always give in eventually?
- How we love to sing 80s songs while you drive me back home, and how we would always try to imitate the singers and end up going off-key?
- How you always make me laugh, and I hope, I always make you smile…
List to be continued…

The Final Countdown
The title, if you realize, alludes to a very popular and cheesy song played during wedding banquets during the presentation of the first dish… Why was it selected as a song to be played during weddings? Cos the groom is counting down to his “doom” (since a popular Chinese joke is that marriage is the grave of love)? Or the bride can count down to the end of her diet (and gasp, days of looking pretty)? Never mind.
Anyway I’m in my final days of singledom (in the eyes of the law that is), and I’m counting down till the day! =) Received a super sweet SMS from TJ this morn that totally brought a smile on a dreary Tuesday.
Someone close asked TJ why he wanted to get married now (i.e. isn’t it a little early?) Which got us thinking, but we came to the conclusion: the question is not about the who, it's about the why now… which then means that it doesn’t really matter when we get married, as long as we are, to each other…
Pray for good weather, good food, good skin, everybody coming on time and totally enjoying themselves!

OMG super exciting
June is a month full of excitement ‘cos of the following:
- B’day celebrations! Canuf and Winson’s one was a blast with so many different people and we just had tons of fun talking rubbish and laughing. Glad that while most people thought the venue was abit ulu (Bishan is ulu?), they liked the overall feel… Chris’ bday was also fun, the sashimi there was fresh and good! Thanks for the bday treat! Next up two members of the FAGs also celebrating their bday! (on a side note, why got so many june babies? Big blackout in October?)
- Keys, keys, keys! Received the keys and the title deed to our new home! The previous owner very KS, there’s a duplicate for every single key, and the keys to one window somehow opens all other windows and so do the cupboard keys… leaving many many many extra keys (I think). Hope we hurry on and start with the renovations and move in soon! But still totally don’t know how to do up the new place…
- LOTR symphony: It was very good, a nice combination of orchestra, choir and I was totally amazed with the original artwork from the book. The movie looked totally like the drawings! Thanks Ade for informing us about it!
- Soon-to-be-Mrs-Lim: after months of fussing about venue, cupcakes, what to wear, invites, seeing my mum “fashion-show” her clothes to decide what to wear, we’re still left with the favours and music! But I’m super looking forward to it… Last weekend as a swinging single!

Crazy Things
Subjecting my body to torture in hope for some good returns that I’m not yet seeing ‘cos I went to subject it to some other form of torture.
Not being glad when my laptop had it’s hard disk replaced and now running fine, albeit without all the data I’ve lost. I call it “a new brain but no memory”. So I spent 300 bucks (refundable) to loan the spoilt hard disk for 3 weeks while I figure out what to do with it. And I’m sending it to a data recovery centre, where it’ll cost at least 500 bucks to recover the data IF it's not already lost forever by fragmentation and what not... As my friend puts it: your photos so precious meh? Bleahz
Fun weekend coming up so hopefully that will make up for all the crazy things…
