Makan Makan before Ramadhan




Makan makan dates before the fasting month starts!

It was a Friday nite double date@Fika Swedish Cafe & Bistro with Yanni & Azmi. Had a great time listenin to their Greek honeymoon experiences & browsin their pics before our swedish meatballs, hash & grilled salmon arrived! Sure did fired up my infatuation with that ancient land again! Even Iyuan was charmed by Santorini & Mykonos!

Next up...a belated birthday celebration for Mr Man Bitch at the Grand Strait restaurant & a chill out session at Old Town Coffee in JB. Glad that I could catch up with my lesbos & the lads...good food & good company makes cranky Sophie...happy!

Thank u for a lovely week end my dears :)

It was worth it while it lasted

I couldn't agree more with Dee.

It pains to see people fall out especially knowing that things actually could have been mended by a simple thing called COMMUNICATION. I think this is by far, the most important thing in any relationship. The loss of such leads to no trust, no love & what was once somethin beautifully lively & inspiring end up becomin somethin so painful to swallow & to bear.

I may sound a tad harsh but i guess what is there left to hold on to when there is no room for an honest conversation between 2 persons, who despite caring for each other they just cannot communicate further? and what friendship can grow from toxic assumptions & hearin from naysayers without a need of understanding each other & tryin to see beyond each others' faults & weaknesses?

If only initiatives were put to good use. if only fear & self-interest were less of a hindrance. if only...nevertheless, que sera sera....

The Limelight

If the new & in are but getting mediocre,
then we shall refresh, bring on & bask in the Glory of Classic!

Tick tock tick tock!

Less than 3 months to the W-day! So far our preparations have been pretty good. The groom & bride-to-be have not had any major tiff in all decision-makings & that is perhaps one of the things to keep constant as the day draws ever nearer. Alhamdulillah!

It helps that in the past few weeks, friends got married & it somehow put me in the "bridezilla" mode, tagging the groom-to-be along in the "kawin kawin" mood as well!

First was Hafi & Ros surprise July wedding. She mentioned nothin abt it but asked for addresses & the next thing i know...kena saman! I remember Hafi questioned about what people think abt starting a relationship with a man like Ros in their early days of getting together but in the end i guess, all those doesn't matter & that love conquers all. I hope they'll have an everlasting & blissful marriage together.

Then my mentel gym kaki, Yanni, got married to her Mr Smiley, Azmi. Am honoured to be part of the solemnisation ceremony, as I have not known her for long but it's beautiful how a friendship could sprout over the past 6 months! Well it's not exactly a BFF kinda thing but it is a special somethin between 2 mentel & splurge/spree-prone girls :)



Hope u are havin fun there in Greece awak, come back soon & stay motivated to keep fit with me(despite the many not free days we have for workout)!*LoL*

As for us, we are happily putting together clothes for our photoshoot...trashing out concepts & venues (tho it won't take place till after the wedding & honeymoon), finally decided on our rings & Oh we simply cannot wait for the epitome of all these wedding shenanigans as we've put in 110% attention to it....our honeymoon escapade! Painstaking nites & days of research & i truuuuuulllly truuuuully hope ALL our plans go well!! But first, we gotta select our wedding clothes on Monday & get our wedding witnesses ready before booking our Kadi! yeah our preps are not done in perfect A-Z order, nevertheless, i am optimistic as ever & that the order doesn't matter. But Pray i shall always, that everything to fall in place as we go with the flow..

Ok weddings aside, i'd like to extend my warmest wishes to dearest Sue & Adam...congrats on the arrival of baby Idris Tay Zhong Xian!! May he grow up handsomely & be a filial & wonderful son to u!

And to my lovely homeland...Happy 44th National Day...i look forward to 2022h! I hope many will reflect & act on what is said in our pledge from here on as we Come Together as One People, One Nation, One Singapore!!
