Valentine's Day

Here's the Valentine's Day card Wei Jien gave to me with a lovely message inside. Was pleased that he took the effort (and slightly embarrassed I didn't) to do something special. So far, things have been good. We're trying not to put on weight; although, I think Wei Jien isn't doing as well in holding off the extra kilos! Lol

First Chinese New Year as newly-weds

This is my first Chinese New Year as a newly-wed. As per Chinese customs, Wei Jien and I are supposed to give double the ang pow during the first year of marriage. That put a strain on our wallets, as we have yet to earn back the money spent on our wedding. That aside, it’s been a good two months since we got hitched.

Things have been pretty good, so far. Took us some time to adjust living together and working out our “me time”. We’re putting our honeymoon on hold, because Wei Jien wants to go for a long vacation some place far. That’s going to require quite a bit of money, so unless I start washing cars in my bee-kee-nee, we have to save from scratch.

Anyway, our reunion dinner was simple but I enjoyed it. Mum in law cooked all the dishes – we had yee sang, double boiled soup with abalone, pacific clams and mushroom, chicken pongteh, sambal udang, pork with buah keluak, ju hu char and steamed fish. Most of them were Nyonya dishes; a big change from the usual Foochow dishes I was accustomed to. But all very tasty.

Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone! 

Hope the year of the dragon is treating you all good so far.:)

Wei Jien + Sue Lynn's Wedding Highlights

Our wedding videographer Nigel has a gift for choosing all the right songs for wedding videos. He selected all the three songs for our video and they were perfect for rif and I. It goes to show that he understands the subject matter, or in our case, the people he was filming very well. I love the outcome of our wedding highlights. Important details were captured and special moments were documented candid-style.

Kudos to Ren, who was filming on rif’s side when he was getting ready to pick me up. Love the shot of rif putting on his shirt and the close-up shot of his ring when he was wearing his shoes. By the way, my wedding shoes were 5 inches high and while I love them to bits, they were a torture to wear. My dinner heels were 6 inches high, because

I'm short
rif is so tall! Nigel’s storyboard on the wedding highlight is slightly different from what I expected, but I like it that way. He never fails to surprise me with his creativity. Thank you Nigel Sia and team, for being so wonderful to work with. rif and I can’t wait for full edit of the actual day.
