HK Trip: Jon's graduation trip + Year end-Holiday

Jon finally graduated! :) Yay! no more writing notes for exams, studying and also all sort of stress and sian-ness. I am glad he finished his studies. Also, to make things more exciting, i changed a new, short hairstyle. I like it! Dyed with red and brown..and i looked really nice and trendy. But, somehow the pictures don't make me look so nice on pics. Ok, that's not the point.

HK was a more affordable place for us then and Jon really wanted to go to Ocean park so we decided to make HK our holiday destination. When we alighted from the plane, we were very comfortable and happy with the weather. Jon loves the weather and he wants to migrate there! Oh man!

1st day: Shopping + relaxing day.

We checked into our hotel "Panda Hotel". From the exterior of the hotel, it looked old and really
-_-" (dont know what to say..) maybe green? hahaa..but to our pleasant surprise, hotel is actually quite nice. The panda hotel is also cutely decorated with so many pandas. See photo below. We are very glad to see that. We also had a much desired Dim sim and some shopping.

Day 2: Ocean Park + Jumbo Seafood restaurant

I like a Korean show "Eden" something and would like to go Jumbo Seafood restaurant since they filmed a scene there. Ocean park was nice. But, i was feeling abit sickly that day so i didn't dared to do too much at Ocean park. Jon wanted to go for some of the rides...but i really can;t. He is patient and gracious. Thank God. Told him that he can come with his friends again for these rides. I will freak out if I go for those rides. Jumbo Seafood was ok, nice food but very expensive. We spent like $100 plus bucks on just three dishes. Also, its abit far from town.

Day 3: Disney Land + Noak's Ark

Our journey to Noah's Ark was very nice. Its also near to our hotel. The whole place was clean and also there is alot of space. However, when we reached Noah's Ark, i felt disappointed. Only the movie presentation was more interesting. Other than that, nothing really interesting. We enjoyed the weather and also the leisure walk though. :) Weather was very nice. We also appreciated the emphasis on the Bible. Disney land was surprising pleasant. There were not many people that day we went. Also, no long queue for rides too. We also enjoyed the fireworks! :) The first time we went was very hot and also there were many people. This time, weather was so nice and there were afew people. :)

Day 4: Leisure shopping, Aberdeen shopping

Last day, we did our shopping and eating at burstling shopping streets of HK. We also went to HK very own computer fair! Very very long queue. The moment we came out from MTR and crossed the road, we noticed the queue. And when we asked the locals, they said this is the queue for the computer fair. We couldnt even see the entrance. We just took the risk and queue. I am super whinely cause I don't find it a worthy cause to queue up for a fair and you are not certain that you will get anything anyway. But my man loves wires, electronics and technology. So, I must accompany him lorh. We waited for around 20 to 30 mins before the fair opened. Bought a ticket and realised that the fair is only around two basket ball size. Imagine the shock. We asked the locals if usual fairs are like that. They said "yes". -_-" Ok, at least we get a taste of local HK lifestyle.

Below are some pics :

Me almost sian to the MAX. while Jon sian that I am so whiney over my sianess. You understand? haha.

Disney round 2. Lovely weather to pose a pic. We took this like 10 over times! This one, we find it nice we are not looking at camera.

30 minutes before Jon & Dawn Sleeps....

We are a extremely funny-weird couple. We quickly gotten used to sleeping beside each other and developed a very interesting routine before we dozed off into dreamland! Here is a glimpse on what happened 30 minutes before we sleep:

At 30 mins B4 we sleep:

Dawn will have to start applying all the creams. First, the SkII facial treatment essence, Clarins eye cream, Biotherm's night cream, lip gross, Body cream on over her body, Vicks for good breathing throughout the night-The total procedure takes about 10 mins!

At 20 mins B4 we sleep:

Lights not off, bedside dim light on. We start talking sweet-nothings & trying to get each other to switch off the lights or helped each other charge each other's handphones. Hug abit here and there..this takes 10 mins! Lights off!

At 10 mins b4 we sleep:

Dawn will get her earplucks ready. Jon will start hugging Dawn, disturbing her in everywhere eg. poking her, tickling her!! And Dawn will try to stop Jon..giggle, struggle, giggle, struggle!!! And, start putting on blanklet for each other and Dawn will put on earplugs then tries to sleep..that will take 10 mins!! :D

This happens every night!! Isn't it interesting?? :D

Regards,
Mrs Wee

Wedded: 25th June 2011

"Anyone can have a wedding...but only God can create a marriage. A marriage is a miracle."
Indeed, how true. I seen many beautiful and expensive wedding events but what is a wedding event without a real significance of being 'wedded'? Being wedded is to adhere devotedly, even stubbornly to each other. Its a very strong committment and alot of work! And, personally, i felt that God can make it possible. I pray that God strengthen us.

I am wedded to Jonathan wee on 25th June 2011. It marks a different stage of my life altogether. Firstly, I am no longer "Ang" but "Wee". My husband has authority over me rather than my dad. And, I was to follow him all the days of my life. I have my own family now and Jonathan being the closest to me now. I am no longer an individual but always one flesh with Jonathan. All these will translate in my marriage w Jon.

Besides the significant change of everything.....the wedding event was very memorable. Its worth every of my effort and time to make this event memorable for myself & Jon..and our parents. Honestly, whether our friends & relatives enjoyed it...I am not sure..and shouldn't be too bothered about it. But, we set to honor our parents and God for this event.

24th June

We were rushing through, running errands for our honeymoon and wedding event. Phew it was so tiring. We went to the wrong location to collect our marriage certificate!! ROM informed the wrong location...!! -_-" We didn't also ask larh. And we have to change currency, go to the bank to pay up debts and buy stuff. At night, we had individual relaxing time with our bridesmaid and bestmen. I didn't do much. Just pendi-manicure and eat dinner. I wanted to sleep early. Jon had games and supper with Boon Siong and Jon Kiew.

25th June 2011: Morning.

My dad woke up me at 5.30am! It was surprising because he told me he would wake up at 7plus and 5plus is way too early for him. That day itself, when he woke me up, he told me he couldn't sleep! Hahaa..i slept through my night! :) Make up artiste came at 6.30am and make up/hairdo setting took around 1.5hours. Mom and sister arrived at 7.30am. Boy! My sister looks lovely.

Jon came to pick me up at 8.50am....he got to go through gate crashing by Janice and Elaine! I had 3 golden guidlines for both of them.

1) No bad food for Jon (He has a weak stomach)
2) No activities that will make him sweat alot. (I dislike all the sweating. He is my prince that day so he got to look handsome)
3) No ang-bao (cause we got budget haha! Don't pity my sisters! We did give them a small token lar)

So, he went through some other fun games and i made him promised me that He will love God more than me, and promised that he will always put our relationship in God!

On our way to Megu after tea ceremony on both sides, we were so worried. Skies were dark and there were signs of rain. The lanes were closed at Singapore Flyer due to NDP rehearsal. We were told by our helpers that they had trouble going into Singapore flyer!

When we were there, thank God that skies were clear and lanes opened! Phew! WHich means there shouldn't be any trouble for our guests! Praise Jesus for His help.

Wedding Program

The wedding program was memorable to me and Jonathan. Thank you Newlife colleagues for the beautiful bridal march and friends for all the other help rendered. Thank Randy and Janice especially for coordinating everything..and also Aunt Bee Tin for the beautiful decoration put up. It was really a love wonderland! I really enjoyed how pretty the place looked. Wine and food was good too!

We especially enjoyed the vows (which we wrote with some help) and it was a beautiful and serious moment when we vowed to each other and God. We also enjoyed the thanksgiving to our parents. My mom and dad cried...!! It was the first time they were touched by me! :)) Thank God we were able to honor our parents in the presence of all. I think its a special moment for them too. Randy and Janice's speech about us is really boo-boo lar. Hahaas. They told us they planned till 3am! Hm..its either some kind of distraction or wine or the very late hours that caused this! In any case, we thank them for everything..their love and friendship to us! Hahas.

Lastly, we appreciate all the friends and relatives that took time to come for our special day. I am really thankful for everyone that came. :)))

Will upload the pictures soon...

More pictures on Ghim Moh!

I frequent Ghim Moh once a month to do up the place. This month, went over to repaint some areas..then, silly me took more pictures! I know there aren't much different to the previous ones. But, i love to keep those memories. :) I hope to create a nice place for Jon to come home too! When i told him that, he said sweetly that "its you that makes home a 'Home' not the place!" Oh yes, its the people we love. Which reminds me that I have to continously pray for God to help me to be a good wife to Jon. :)

Kitchen. We added some tiny stuff..and bought some household items. Almost done! I hope to whip up meals for Jon :)

Rojak Post: All in Thanksgiving to God

This is one of those Rojak posts when you had not post for some time..and you try to summarise what's going on...in summary, so many things happened and we thank God for His goodness and provision!

Jon and myself took 2 weeks off from work (end dec to 1st week Jan) just to spend time..relax..slack heheee..and prepare for some wedding stuff..We had so much so much fun!
We didn't really plan anything at all. Yup, very untypical for a planner like me..but we had so much to do. We went over the causeway twice to shop. Once with Pastor Klein & Margaret..and they blessed us so much! Once with Jon only. It was a day trip and we simply spend time shopping, eating and watching movie.

Spot the difference! Yup, Jon's slippers. We were shopping for his shoes and here is kind of like a joke :)

During our two weeks, we took our wedding shots. The wedding photographer was very professional. We are very happy with the shots! I have not uploaded anything..will not too. Will only show during our wedding. Overall, it was a fun and one of the life time experience wearing heavy makeup + fake eyelashes (my first time!) and heavy gown romancing Jon. Hahaa.. :D Fun larh.
