Honeymoon Escapade: LONDON+OLD TRAFFORD

Wowness! My dreams since I were 15 was finally fulfilled...I gotta marry the "anglo" lad, go to the UK & set foot on the ground of the Old Trafford! Iyuan definitely enjoyed himself much too!

The area we stayed in was excellent cos it's nicely connected to a few tube lines & most importantly it's got halal food around. There's even a halal branch of Subway eatery there which we cannot resist but go back to grab our last bite before headin back to SG lugging our 3 bulky luggages around!

Memories of London was firstly my booboo. We arrived on a rainy evening, only to realise i forgot to take down the address of my hotel!! I had to scamper for internet access to retrieve it & then we were lost tryin to find the bloody location of the hotel cos of the lil lanes!! I nearly burst into tears at the mess but thankfully it was sorted out after apologisin to hubby for such trouble! Other than that, memories of London evolves around the tube, lotsa walkin along lil lanes, clothes & chilly weather. And the funniest thing is, Iyuan caught on the Italian accent there, thanks to a stall owner at Camden market & a few others we eavedropped while on the train....hehe

It's Bittersweet Symphony tis London...

London to Paris to Marrakech

Salam from Marrakech to all of u!

Finally i got the chance to surf in & spend some time in front of the laptop while mesye is asleep! hee~

it's been 16 days since we're married & it's been crazy busy till right down to our honeymoon! Glad that all went pretty well & much credits go to the family, friends & vendors who made the wedding such a beautiful affair! 

It's still so surreal that I'm somebody's wife already...even Iyuan felt the same way! Every now and then as we walk along side each other...he'll turn & chuckle..."Mesye's my wife!". Funny!

Anyways am currently enjoyin our honeymoon escapade together! It isn't all smooth sailing but it has been blissful. London & Paris have surely been eye-openers for me, Marrakech turned out pretty much as what I expected so far, besides the unexpected donkeys piss/poop smell wafting every now & then along Jemaa El Fnaa. We've yet to check out desert style living...hopefully we'll survive the camel rides & cold winds in a couple of nite's time, as how we survived the chilly weather in London and Paris! I hear tt it's been rainin these past few days in SG aye? do take good care my dears & have a great week ahead!! 

Pictures won't be up so soon as the wi-fi reception's been rather sucky...so...be patient okie?

Bitten by the sentimental bug

as mum & i shifted around our furnitures like musical chairs...now in my room lies her double bed. a new reality is inchin in bit by bit...i'm gonna miss my "ME" space

and most of all, the thing i hold dear...my 80s SONY boombox..i really don't wanna throw it away..but it's just a matter of days. the volume control is already cranky, the top bit of the antenna is broken but it served the family & me well for the past years growin along with me, thru my childhood, thru my adolescence & now even, once in awhile, servin up chillout music from Lush99.5fm or soothin piano pieces from 96.3fm.

well i guess i have to juz move along with the changes & look forward to creating a "WE" space for myself & dearest hubby-to-be.

for now, my last nites of bachelorettehood shall be spent lyin next to my mum, in her bed in my room...

That Hawaiian Nite

Aloha!

The theme for mesye's company D&D was Hawaiian Night, so i stuck a huge flower in my hair & wore a tropical green dress to go with the theme...and 2 unexpected things happened. Weirdness but i should somewhat feel complimented.

First was...a Mat Cisco tried to hit on me la when I was waitin impatiently for a cab. I was really taken aback cos it is very rare for such a thing to happen to me. Sanggup dia u-turn to ask if he could get to know me. But..eck i turned him down flat, i can feel his hope shattered right there. I said no thank u, i'm engaged, showed my bling and walked away. While in the cab moments later, i was thinkin..gosh he must have thot i'm such an arrogant bitch or somethin..eeps!! Thank u for the compliment eh Mat Cisco, i should have been more polite but sorry, i was too shocked to think of somethin nice to say at the same time i dun wanna give a wrong idea.

So much for bein a Hawaiian Nite, much performances were very hmm Asian-inspired. Was mindin my food, had lil chats with Iyuan n laughin at the antics of people on the stage when the MC went around the floor lookin for best dressed women nominations. Was very happy and cheered on Lina, one of the gals I noe from the company who shared the same table with me when she was picked out by the MC but then the next thing I noe, I was also picked for best dressed candidate. EHH?? there were like 6 or 7 of us and we had to go on stage & claim our prize by dancing..to Wondergirls' Nobody. Alamakkk!! tis has never happened to me before la & puttin me in the spotlight like that after soo long of not bein on stage or dancin, my heart was in my mouth.Gedebak gedebuk man! And Iyuan came up front row to capture pics/vids..lagi Stress! Felt so freaky, anyhow whack...i didn't win..hahah! But Lina won! Deservingly...congrats!

Weird la...is there somethin different abt my look lately? Is it the  "darah manis" symptom of a bride-to-be? Hmmm...

Anyways week end is here again! Enjoy it!

CHEERS~

 

A year of T-Phase

u & me
happy anniversary
may our journey into marriage be smooth & wonderful!
tick tock tick tock!
