Feeling rich!

It was Christmas
and Fiance wanted to give us a special treat
so we bought caviers from the supermarket!
30 Euro for such a small tin...
to me, it tasted like salmon roes..
but in anycase, 
for now, we wont be feeling rich
to spend on cavier till Christmas 2014... 

 

Food tasting..

We were invited to taste the wedding dinner
so we invite the future parents-in-laws along
we were provided two menus
and to decide what we wanted

Starter:

Fish dish:

 

Meat dish:

Cheese dish:

 

It was nice to have a meal with the future parents-in-laws
and having discussion about the menu
thereafter, a short walk around the garden.

and finally,
we decided on our wedding dinner menu!

Give me back real instant noodles!

After finding instant noodles
for my noodles craving
they are expensive
and not the usual brands i know
but why so little noodlesin a packet!

 

Christmas treat from in-laws...

Apart from many wonderful gifts
my future parents-in-law gave us a voucher
to be redeem at a  nice restuarant..

Me: Avocado & crab

Fiance: Foie gras 

Me: Shrimps risotto

 

Fiance: some braised stuff

 

Overall, the food was great
and we enjoyed an evening out 
just that we probably wont return to this restuarant
because its quite expensive eg risotto was euro 30+
and it was quite out of the way.

nevertheless, 
it was a great gift from the future in-laws..

Our DIY wedding preparations

Being unemployed and want to personalise our wedding
also, to reduce wedding spending
we came up with ideas to DIY wedding stuff
eg Make my own hair and makeup for the day
to making videos, table decorations..

Sometimes i do feel the pressure
Not really that confident in my creative arts
but fiance is nice to always assure that what im doing is nice
just that it can be stressful to create things on my own
especially when i dont know where to buy things i need

Since we are requesting guests to give angbaos for the wedding
we need a gift box for the guests
again, it was difficult to find a box we like
so is DIY time!

It was crazy to draw with my fingers' injuries
but quite pleased with the end results!

Bisous..

Wedding Invitations

It started with my idea to create our own invitation card
so that it can be personalise
i created a email version to be sent out to our guests 
to book the date

Which was not too difficult
just microsoft words & PDF
a few versions were created
and we chose this

Translated:
18.07.12 - He stole her heart
31.05.13 - And popped the question
15.02.14 - So, she stole his last name

After we confirmed our wedding venue
the fiance had the idea
for me to draw our invitation card
finally, it is in process of printing...

 


 















However, the photo seems grey
despite our attempts to take a better photo of it
like holding 2 lights
under the window etc etc
that i toyed with the crazy idea to draw all the invitation cards
lucky the fiance is still dane to send it for print
hopefully the hardcopy will be fine..

Prone to accident in Paris

During Christmas i sprain my foot 
when going down the stairs
and now i injured my fingers
at the Asian supermarket's entrance

it is really silly
i was alone
as i entered the supermarket
i got distracted by the security guard saying
"Bonjour, Xdghfurzhrzjrkhfruzdu..."
I have no idea what he was saying
but i think it was about being careful of the door

so, in a moment of distraction 
my fingers got caught by the heavy metal door
i thought nothing of it
except maybe a bruise
after awhile i realised i was bleeding
fiance thinks im a little crazy to continue shopping
and not left the place to return home immediately

Just some cuts, bruise on knuckles and swelling
but i got an off day from cooking and washing!
Haha
