Sweet Cravings

Well.

‘cept most of the shops were already closed by 9:00pm on a Tuesday night.

Although I did came upon this completely gorgeous and absolutely stunning maternity dress in Paragon.

But of course, it would be the one with green hues all over on the right.


Now tell me again, what is so catastrophically unacceptable about becoming pregnant before your wedding bells?

I say nay, if that meant I get to wear that beautiful dress. And god knows how much it costs.

My baby will be so proud of me.

Me and my dazzling green dress.

Grandmere’s place was hectic as usual. Everyone but Aunt Pamela and her married child were there keeping the place smoking hot.

Fruits of my labor, literally. I really did put the longans into the konyaku (:p).


Aunt Angela made these from her dim sum crash course. Looking lovely ain't it?


This was loaned from Aunt Amy, apparently it was 2X bigger than Aunt Angela's.


Miniature rice cakes, only 1/3 the size of the real thing. Not compromising on the taste nevertheless.


They call these fortune cakes. Something to do with their crazy shapes.


Of course, where would we be without these very critical teaching aids?


All these in preparation for my cousin's 24th birthday party tomorrow.

Covetous. Unjustifiable concentration.

Yes I am.

Keith starting a fire with our very own make shift pit.

F16s and their afterburners always will be the crème de gateau…

Apaches… looking equally breathtaking.

Smoking hot dogs and a piece of marinated honey chicken breast…

Taiwan sausages. Always my favorite thing on the grill (:D yummy!).

SL redefining my position as toast watcher to poking the chicken wings with a stick ensuring they are cooked just right.

Kenneth, our notorious chicken wing tester for the night, thanks to LX who declared his role cheerfully. By volunteering to eat everything that had fallen to the ground due to uneven and unprofessional cooking ethics, LX had evolved into a BMT prep recruit that evening.

Fireworks, another reason to exist other than aerial displays, this was actually a screenshot from my amateurish video taking.

A camera shot of a final huge orangey blast to end the night. Happy National Day 06 guys!
