Mr and Mrs Daren Sofyan

Congrats to Daren and Jenny!

After months of planning and preparation, they finally had their wedding on Saturday!

It was lovely and oh-so-sweet. :)

I admit, I had tears in my eyes during the church wedding. ;p

I could see just how happy they were. :)

And I was honoured to be asked to co-host the wedding dinner together with Jeremy, though I do think I was a crappy host. I was literally having verbal diarrhoea and mental constipation.

Hahaha...

Well Daren and Jenny, thank you for letting us share your wonderful day and I do wish you both years and years of happiness! :)

And thank you for the great pics Ron! (P.S. Ron is a great amatuer photographer.. Really.)

Wedding Bells!

With the happy couple!

Busy at the reception table.

SABO TIME!!!! Thank you everyone for being so sporting! ;)

And finally Ron in front of the camera!

And as for Jem and I....

Our turn will be soon! Akan Datang! Hee hee.

Our Little Angel...

So Ashley had her first baptism and I am officially Godma.

FINALLY. :)

See? It's OFFICIAL. *taps baptism certificate*

Other than the stupid period saga, it was a nice baptism.

Like her older brother Joshua, she slept right through the whole ceremony like a little Angel. :)

I can't wait to attend her first Holy Communion...then her Confirmation... then her wedding where I will probably be bawling my eyes out in the front row... ;p

I'm gonna be the best Godma! And I will teach her to always bring an extra Tampon.... ;p

Ashley Caitlin Ong

Proud Mama...


Prouder Parents...


And the Deliriously Proud Godma. ;)


My fav shot. Ashley having holy water poured over her head.


Godparents accepting the flame from the Easter Candle.

And at the end she wakes up and thinks,"Milllkkk.... "

Gosh she's so cute. :)

Period Drama

Ashley had her baptism yesterday and I'm officially Godma! *YAYY!*

She was so cute and such a good baby... But that's not what this post is about. I will post pics of her and gush about her in my next entry.

So yes... yesterday was her big baptism day and Godparents (ME) and parents had to go for some briefing with the priest before the mass started.

As I was sitting in the room waiting for everybody to settle, I felt that dreaded FEELING.

It was THAT Time Of The Month.

After urgently whispering to my sis that I had to run to the loo, I ran helter-skelter out of the classroom.

"Clack! Clack! Clack!", went my heels as I ran down the stairs, arms flailing about trying to keep my balance as I zoomed in to the toilet and slammed the bathroom door.

Now why I'm in such a panic is coz I was wearing a WHITE dress. And a THONG. Like is there any worse timing in the world to be wearing a WHITE DRESS AND A THONG??!!

"Why God WHY?!", I wailed in my head. I know I'm not a good girl. I sin everyday. But to punish me this way?! God... you can be SO cruel.

I urgently dialed for Jem who was upstairs in the main church hall, waiting for the mass to start.

"Pick uppp... PICK UPPPP..." I muttered under my breath as I willed him to answer his phone.

"Hello?" HE ANSWERED! I never thought his voice sounded sexier.

"DarIgotmyperiodandIneedyoutorunoppositetoNTUCandgetmetamponsNOW!!!!!!" I blurted all in one breath.

"Hah?! OKokokok...."

I didn't wait to hear whatever else he said. I hung up, and ran back up to the briefing room in my dratted clacking high heels. The briefing had already started and I tiptoed back to my seat trying to look nonchalant and calm, like I just went out for a little breather. Afterall, I'm a first time God Parent you know...

"So parents you will carry your baby up to the ...." droned the priest. I wasn't listening. I was already devising ways to kill myself if I had to walk around with a red patch on my skirt.

My handphone started to vibrate and the words "Dearie Hp" were flashing on the screen.

"SMS me", I typed.

(The following SMS conversation is TRUE. I Swear.)

My handphone buzzed with an sms from Jem.

It read: No Tampon. Pad only. I buy Kotex pad can?

Kotex?! I didn't know they still produced Kotex pads?! I've stopped using pads for 10 years. The last time I saw a Kotex brand pad was when it was still being sold in pink cardbox boxes, which was probably like... 20 years ago?!

I furiously typed back: Get Ultra Thins. Whisper brand also can.

I didn't care if the priest thought I was the rudest girl around, the gall of me to SMS while he was talking. My soul is damned anyway.

My handphone buzzed with another sms from Jem: I buy Sofy Night Guard for you. Prevent side leakage.

WHAT?! Argh.. I gave up and replied "OK" and anxiously waited for Jem to get back to the church.

"Ok you can all now make your way up to the church hall... " Once I heard the priest say those words I was up and dialling Jem and demanding to know where was he.

"I'm back in the church already..." He panted.

"Ok I'm coming down NOW!" I yelled, hung up, and was out of the classroom like The Flash.

"Clackclakclack" went my heels again as I ran down the stairs like a deranged woman.

I spotted Jem walking in the carpark, trying to rip open the pack of Sofy pads in the NTUC Fairprice plastic bag. I ran towards him.

"Gimme the pad!" I yelled furiously.

"You need one or two?!" He yelled back.

"ONE LA!!!!" I yelled and grabbed the pad from him and ran off.

I swear. It was the thickest and longest pad I had ever seen. It was literally 30cm long and about 3cm thick. I felt like I was wearing pampers. How I balanced the pad on my teenie thong, I don't know. Maybe miracles do happen.

At least I felt very protected.

When I finally slid into the pew next to Jem, I whispered furiously to him, "You had to get me the THICKEST one right?"

He replied back indignantly, "Eh. Can prevent side leakage you know".

Those words, I never thought I would ever hear out of his mouth.

When I showed him the size of the pad at the end of the night, even he couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculously huge it was.

Thank God everything went off without a hitch. No red spots... and definitely no side leakage.

I guess God does answer prayers.

Halleluiah! ;p

Of Cocks and Clocks (and Mango Sticky Rice!)

So I went for my annual pilgrimage to Bangkok especially since I had heard that Suan Lum Night Market was closing at end April.

But alas! It's not closing down! Cheah! Rush all the way there for nothing. ;p

But ok la... still a fruitful trip. :)

I've found a new love... Mango Sticky Rice! I don't really know why I had not tried it all this time... But I love it! And I don't even like Mangoes all that much. I just like the sticky rice and coconut milk. hahahaha. ;p

So It was 3 days of non-stop shopping and eating. We literally walked till I had aching leg muscles when I woke up on the 2nd day.

I got my "chicken bowls" and a clock for my new house. (And that explains the "Cocks and Clocks" title... hahaha)

And I got a whole lot of other rubbish for myself. :))))

I'm sorry Ron didn't manage to get much for herself. Thai girls are just TOO SKINNY.

Nevertheless we had lots of fun!

*sings*

"Two of Hearts.. I need you, I need you..."

Heh.. private joke. ;p

Bangkok!

I love Mango Sticky Rice!!!!!

Ron came across these sunglasses at a store and just HAD to take a photo. I was near dying of embarrassment. Hahaha... ;p

Chicken Bowls galore!!! I like! :)

Apparently my bargaining skills suck coz he didn't give me a cheaper price. *tbbpph* ;p

Yummy Tom Yum soup for lunchie and isn't Ron's Honey Heart drink so cute?

DIRT CHEAP BBQ Steamboat. Only SGD4 per person!

Cheers Ron! :)

.

And a nightcap before bed.

.

Round 2 of Mango Sticky Rice! Ron obviously loves her Mango seeds... :)

Ron and her Rainbow bags.. hahaha... Isn't the little pouch cute??!

.

Two Cocks and a Clock. ;)

.

Bling purses!!! I LOVVEE the heart shape on the purse!!!! Heeheehee.

.

I had brought along another Shopaholic series book with me when I realised the title was, "Shopaholic Abroad"! HEY! THAT'S ME!!!!! :)

.

Good news! I gained most of my weight back after bangkok!

.

*burp*

Blur Like F**K

I left home today to have breakfast with my mum and then headed off for my facial appointment.

While changing after my facial, I checked my handbag and realised I didn't have my handphone!!

After panicking for a moment, I figured I left it at home coz I didn't use my handphone at all after I left home.

So when I got home, I started searching my room and I couldn't find it.

"Don't panic Geri... Don't panic...", I tried to tell myself as I dialed my handphone number from my home phone.

I didn't hear any ringing sound.

"Oh God.. OH GOD...". I WAS starting to panic. BIG TIME.

I headed down the stairs to my living room and didn't hear anything either...

BUT WAIT!

I hear a faint sound coming from the kitchen!

I followed the sound and where did it lead me to...?

But my washing machine.

I flung the top of the washing machine open and rummaged through dirty laundry to find my handphone happily ringing away.

Apparently I had thrown my handphone in together with my laundry just before I left home.

Thank God we hadn't started the wash cycle yet!

Sigh.

Blur Cock Geri Strikes Again.

Let it Snow... In Spring!

You know... the effects of Global Warming is making itself known.

I heard there was hail in Singapore while I was away, and while I was in Vancouver, it started the snow quite heavily... and its Spring!

Well lucky for me, coz I got to roll around 15 feet of snow at the top of Grouse Mountain. (And in doing so nearly froze my toes off. But that's another story....)

I didn't do any sightseeing in Korea (too busy buying Faceshop la!) but we did go for it and had raw octopus for dinner! It was really good, despite all the Fear-Factor style wriggling of the tentacles.

It was such a hoot, having the tentacles sucker itself to my mouth and fingers. :)

In Vancouver, we visited the Capilano Salmon Fishery, the Capilano Suspension Bridge and finally, up to Grouse Mountain.

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to ski... but I was so enamoured by the snowboarders... I thought they looked so cool... Damn.

I like Canada. I think the people are really friendly.... I wouldn't mind living there one day. :)

*looks at Jem*

Start earning lots of money sweetiieee.............. ;p

Let it Snow!

Raw Octopus! *WriggleWriggleWriggle!*


Power breakfast at Dennys! Deliciously sinful.


And after brekkie.. it started to snow! What a start to the day!


Our first stop, the Capilano Salmon Fishery. Sadly.. there weren't any Salmon coz they are all currently in the ocean!
.

The river behind is where the Salmon fight the current and jump upstream. No fishies.. but its still a pretty place.


And then we head to the Capilano Suspension Bridge! Originally built in 1889, it stretches 137m across and 70m above the Capilano River!


*whee!* It really sways quite a bit and the view around the bridge was stunning. :)


I like this group pic! From left: Vanessa (My batch girl!), ShuHui, Moi, Alan and Jervis.


Takin a stroll through the treetops walk.


I like this pic.. two little kids sitting on rocking chairs player checkers. :)


"Hey Yogi!""Yes Boo Boo?" Hehehe...


And up we go to Grouse Mountain! Just a smattering of snow on the tree tops...


And after ascending for 5mins, the snow is 15feet deep!
.

IT'S FRESH SNOW! *scoop scoop*

Me and Vanessa frolicking in the snow. :)


My Fav Pic. "Ready? One, Two, Three... SPLAT!" Jervis totally didn't see it coming. He tot I was posing with a fistful of snow... I'm devious ;p

And they exact their revenge! I spy Alan's suspiciously snow covered glove in the background...

THIS IS WAARRRR!!! I literally barrelled into the guys and shoved them onto the ground... hahaha... It was so fun :)

And I bought my dress from BCBG for Daren's wedding!

.

It's kinda plain, but I love the lace detailing. And the sucky thing is, I lost weight since I tried it in Vancouver, and now it's loose! I know it sucks to say this but the dress is a Size 0 for God's sake. It can't get any smaller.... I think I will have to stuff socks into my bra.

.

I need a freaking boob job.
