OTTO Ristorante: 3rd Year Dating Anniversary Surprise Dinner

Posted on August 15, 2013 by missuschewy

Here’s part 3 of our dating anniversary celebration! The husband planned a dinner surprise at OTTO Ristorante and I got to know about it when we reached Red Dot Traffic Building. I must say that his surprise was a successful one because I thought he would be taking me to some chillax place with live music.

About a year ago, misterchewy told me that he wanted to take me to OTTO but I brushed the idea off because I didn’t see the point of splurging on a regular day. Little did I expect him to remember and fulfill his promise!

Hellooooo. LOL. Ok la just wanted to tell you guys that I’m super lazy to go into detail about the food. Let’s just say that I wasn’t myself that night and the 7 course Gourmet set dinner lasted about 3 hours which was crazily long, which also explains why we started taking photos of each other halfway through dinner. LOL. And it certainly didn’t help that there was a large group of noisy buggers who were laughing and screeching away like hyenas.

Amuse Bouche – Portobello mushroom with parmesan cheese

Deep fried lagoon grey shrimps and soft polenta Venetian style

Tuna belly carpaccio with arugula, chive and lemon oil

Pan roasted foie gras with green asparagus and cabernet wine vinegar

Homemade tarragon tagliolini with live prawn and spicy Italian artichokes

Homemade cocoa tagliatelle with red wine braised venison ragout

European sea bass fillet with sun dried tomato pesto

Crispy suckling pig lacquered with “black locust” tree honey and aged balsamic vinegar

Warm chocolate cake with Haitian vanilla ice cream

Honestly, the food kinda fell short of my expectations but like I had mentioned earlier, it was probably just me. I did of course enjoy the desserts 🙂 Thanks misterchewy for the wonderful celebration! Click here to read about our staycation at Novotel Clarke Quay and experience at making miniature food clay art!

Couple Activity: Sushi and Burger Handmade Miniature Food Clay Art

Posted on August 12, 2013 by missuschewy

There are so many unique things that you and your partner can do together as a couple and here’s what misterchewy and I did on our 3rd year dating anniversary! DENG DENG DENG DENG! Handmade miniature food clay art! One word, “FUN!!” best describes this! Even the husband thought so too! 😀

Before I show you a little bit on the process of making the miniature food clay, these are the final products taken immediately after the workshop because we wanted to use the toothpicks for size comparison purposes 😛 For the lesson, we could also choose to make bread, pastries, tarts or cakes other than sushi or burger. We decided to make our favourite food so it was sushi for me and burger for misterchewy! 🙂

The afternoon slot was already filled so we went in the morning, before checking into our hotel for our staycation. The workshop was held in a small room inside a camera shop at Chinatown, Pagoda Street, which is about 3 minutes walking distance from the MRT station.

I did some online research and finally settled on attending Kin’s workshop. Firstly, Kin’s works are amazing and impressive. Secondly, she had a slot for us on our anniversary day even though it was at 10.30 in the morning. Lastly, Chinatown is near Novotel Clarke Quay so we didn’t have to travel all over Singapore.

I asked Kin and she told us that she has been making miniature food clay for over 8 years! Not only is Kin very knowledgeable about the different types of materials suitable for making various types of miniature food, she is also very generous with her information which is what I like about her. You can ask her many questions and she will tell you as much as she knows.

To start things off, I was given a small piece of resin clay and even though it was already white, I had to mix in a bit of white to make it even whiter. And from the piece of clay, I had to divide it equally into 4 smaller pieces because I was going to make 4 types of sushi.

Poking holes to make it look like Japanese rice. Hehe.

Looks cute right! One of them is without holes because I would be wrapping ‘seaweed’ around it.

In the meantime, Kin was teaching misterchewy how to make salad for his burger set.

Made tamago sushi first! Sorry I didn’t take the entire process because it would take up plenty of time. So you just use your imagination ok? 😛

Tuna sushi! The husband and I were amazed and how realistic the tuna looked! Ok la maybe not mine, but the one Kin did as a sample looked damn real!

Apple pie done by misterchewy! We were giggling away because his apple pie looked kinda thick and fat, and Kin commented that it seemed as though someone had already taken a bite out of it. LOLOLOL.

Does my salmon sushi look adorable? Actually I’m not very happy with it because I made the indentation on the salmon a little too deep and when I used a white pen to line it, the whole thing looks ruined. Haiiii. But still quite cute because it’s about the size of my fingertip. Haha.

The husband showing off his burger! But still got some finishing touches to be made!

The last sushi that I made was the ebi sushi. It was the only sushi that I had to use a brush to paint the colors on the prawn. Not easy ok! Before I started painting, Kin showed me more than 10 failed samples done by her students. Those really cannot make it one. And I actually laughed at one particular prawn which she said looks like a washing board. I stopped laughing immediately because I realized I have not started painting my own. *Stressed* Thankfully, I think it turned out pretty alright for a first-timer! 😀 From left to right, we have tuna sushi with prawn roe, salmon sushi, tamago sushi and ebi sushi. The ones in the background were done by Kin, which are a bit smaller than mine, and obviously much nicer too!

Since the husband was still working on his burger set, I took some photos of Kin’s works on display.

Yipee! 99% completed!

The husband’s burger set! Got salad, apple pie, milkshake, French fries and burger!

We spent about 3 hours and after the workshop, I requested to have a photo taken with Laoshi Kin! We were full of respect and admiration for her! Kin was really patient and she constantly gave us feedback and tips while we were working on our food clay. Kin had also been featured in numerous paper publications and she was also asked to make miniature Laksa as a gift for our ex-President MR. S R Nathan!

Out of the 4 types of sushi, I spent the most time on painting the ebi sushi because I had to make sure it doesn’t look too fake. I was actually very worried and kept wondering, what if I also ended up with a washing board lookalike prawn?! The salmon and tamago sushi seemed easy to make but they are also not that easy. Kin said, practice makes perfect!

I thought misterchewy’s burger set looks quite impressive! Very surprising because both of us are not exactly the art and craft kinda people. Before the start of the workshop, Kin asked if we had any experience in miniature clay making or any other types of handicraft. We hesitated for quite some time before I said, “Erm… The last time I did real art and craft was in primary school?!” LOL! The husband found that the top bun of the burger was the hardest to make. He had to redo the thing at least 4 times because the shape was not perfect. Kin told him that there is a certain technique to moulding it. Again, practice makes perfect!

Kin updates her website on a regular basis and features her latest works on http://rainbowclayminiature.blogspot.sg/
For more information on the different types of workshops that she conducts, you may visit her website here http://www.kinsminiatureworkshop.com/
I have also recently found out that Kin has a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rainbowclayminiature-Kin/225509057484186

Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay Staycation Blog Review

Posted on August 7, 2013 by missuschewy

– Sponsored Staycation –

Happy long weekend chewys! I’m back with a new blog entry! If you have read our previous post, you should have anticipated today’s hotel staycation review ya 🙂 The husband and I enjoyed a one night stay at Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay, a splendid 4 stars hotel situated in the heart of Singapore.

Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay features over 400 rooms which had been recently upgraded, each with a magnificent and amazing view of the Marina Bay, Singapore River, and also the spectacular city skyline of Singapore. We had the luxury of staying in a Premier room on the 22nd floor which is extremely spacious, complete with a balcony which can be accessed upon request for the sliding doors to be unlocked.

One substantial enhancement of the hotel was the discontinuation of queen sized beds such that there were only king sized beds even in Novotel’s smallest rooms.

All rooms have been designed to Novotel’s latest standards offering state of the art amenities. I was busy taking photos while misterchewy entertained himself by browsing channels on the LCD televisions with easy media connectivity panel. Oh did I mention that there is complimentary high-speed WiFi too?

Nespresso coffee machine

Some of the snacks available but are chargeable. FYI, 7-Eleven is conveniently located just downstairs.

iPod docking station. It’s a pity that it’s not compatible with iPhone 5.

The bathroom is also quite spacious. I wish I had my wide angle lens with me 😛

I like the colors that Novotel picked for the packaging of the toiletries.

Photo taken and very heavily edited by misterchewy using his iPhone 5. Hahaha. But the photo sure doesn’t lie that it was a hot and sunny day! Perrrrfect for a swim!

Totally got this resort or holiday feel right? *Sigh*

It was nice having a staycation at Clarke Quay for a change! So many pubs and clubs in the area and you don’t have to worry that much about getting drunk because all you need to do is stagger a little to get back to Novotel. Hahaha.

The night view from our hotel room is also very nice!

We got to enjoy the MBS laser show as well. We could have watched the NDP preview fireworks display too but the husband had already made reservations for dinner. Boohoo.

Premier room guests get to enjoy Premier Floor benefits all day, such as having access to the newly-upgraded Premier Lounge, complimentary American breakfast, WiFi, express check-in / check-out and complimentary use of the boardroom for those all- important business meetings and cocktail hours complete with free flow drinks and canapes every evening. Premier guests have the option of having breakfast at this Premier Lounge or The SQUARE on level 7, or maybe both if you have the stomach for it.

I admit that I was lazy to get out of bed and told misterchewy to eat breakfast on his own 😛 He chose to have breakfast at the Premier Lounge. We had been to The SQUARE for a brunch tasting last year and the husband concluded that the variety was much wider there even though the Premier Lounge was more exclusive.

My simple breakfast from 7-Eleven and The Sunday Times from the hotel! Breakfast in bed for me 😛

It was a great way for us to spend our dating anniversary at Novotel. Stay tuned to our next post as we will be showing you how we did our miniature food clay art as a couple! 🙂 Stay connected with us on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy

Celebrating My Birthday & Our 3rd Year Dating Anniversary

Posted on July 31, 2013 by missuschewy

YOOHOO CHEWYS! It’s my birthday today! Please don’t ask me how old I am, just wish me happy birthday can liao! Hahaha. This post is a short summary of how we celebrated my birthday and our 3rd year dating anniversary over the weekend. Just nice our dating anniversary is on 26 July and my birthday is on 31 July, so it’s a tradition for us to celebrate these two special occasions together every year. Likewise for misterchewy’s birthday and our wedding anniversary, which both fall on 9 September 🙂

I wanted the weekend to be a special one, and made sure that we indulged in some activity that we had not done together before. So, watching movie, karaoke, kite flying, etc were all ruled out. The husband wanted to sign us up for a cooking class with AFC Studio but he was informed that the studio was under renovation. To save misterchewy from the planning, I suggested attending a miniature food clay art lesson together! Actually, I was inspired by my good friend misstamchiak. She is able to make so many types of food clay that look so nice and impressive! I’m glad misterchewy enjoyed the lesson as much as I did! I did the sushi while misterchewy did the ‘McDonald’s extra value meal’. LOL! Will blog about this soon! 😉

After the clay making lesson, we checked into Novotel Clarke Quay Hotel. Breathtaking view from the balcony of our room!

Our premier room was very comfortable but the air conditioning was too cold despite our countless attempts to bring up the temperature. Our next blog post will most likely be a staycation review!

Usually, I would have found out about whatever surprise dinner plans that the husband had for me in the past but this time, I decided not to probe him at all. When we finally stood outside OTTO Ristorante, misterchewy seemed very pleased with the shocked/surprised expression on my face. Keep a lookout for the review!

And lastly, misterchewy spent more than $1.5K on this ultra sexy Fujifilm X100S as a birthday and anniversary present for me. Knowing that I had recently been considering getting a compact camera because lugging a DSLR with macro lens, wide angle lens and external flash (on my own if he cannot accompany me to tastings or events) is no joke, he parted with his money readily and got me the best compact camera (with his budget) after consulting some of his friends. The amount might not be huge to some, but to me, it is a lot of money given that we are a newly married couple and we are trying our best to save as much as we can for our future home. The husband says that it’s ok, money can always be earned back. Yes it’s true but I hope he doesn’t have this mentality all the time! All photos in this post except for the above and the panorama shot of Clarke Quay were taken with the Fujifilm X100S. Will there be a tech review for this baby? Maybe yes, maybe no. We shall see 😉

I really had a marvellous birthday and dating anniversary celebration and all I wanna say is a big thank you to my husband from the bottom of my heart 🙂

Wedding Sponsor: Beehoon Productions Instant Prints Photobooth

Posted on April 18, 2013 by missuschewy

– Sponsored Post –

Howdyyy chewyyys! Previously, I blogged about our wedding gatecrash and tea ceremony, followed by our wedding banquet dinner in a separate post. Today, I’m gonna tell you more about another very awesome wedding sponsor of ours! The husband and I were so thrilled because we had been toying with the idea of having an instant prints photobooth set up at our wedding banquet venue for the longest time! 😀

Founded in July 2010, Beehoon Productions (米粉制作) specializes in cinematography and photography for weddings, parties and events. No doubt founder of Beehoon Productions, Nigel Tan is barely 3 years into this business, but after looking at his various works, I can truly feel his sincerity through the tremendous effort that he puts in, in producing the best memories for his clients. Not forgetting that Nigel and is team are young and full of vibrant energy, anything and everything is possible! They have even ventured into underwater wedding photography!

About 1.5 months before our wedding, we met up with Nigel to have a look at the quality and past designs of their instant prints artwork. Basically, there are two sizes to choose from – 4R or card sized prints. Besides the photobooth, Beehoon Productions also offer the “Roaming Photographer” instant prints service whereby the photographers will roam around the reception and banquet to ask for shots.

Of course, we opted for the photobooth because there is a wide variety of cute and fun props that our guests can choose to pose with at the photobooth! These props definitely liven up the photos and also give an extra touch of wackiness!

Beehoon Productions took about 30 minutes to do their setup outside our ballroom at Orchard Parade Hotel and they were kind enough to stay till around 9pm in order to make sure that our guests had a chance at the photobooth. They were also very generous in sponsoring us unlimited 4R prints. At this point you must be wondering what printer they use! Beehoon Productions uses an industrial grade printer with a printing speed of around 12 seconds for each 4R photograph, which means that if you have 5 people in a group shot, it will only take about 1 minute for everyone to receive their instant prints!

My cousins seem to be having a good time at the photobooth!

More cousins! (LOL sorry my creativity in captioning is limited)

The idea is very simple. You queue, pick up as many props as you like, position yourselves properly in front of the backdrop and then strike your best pose for the camera guy! Speaking of backdrop, we chose a white one. There is also a pink and a blue backdrop, but you can only decide on one color. Beehoon Productions also offer, at a top-up, a live projections service whereby images can be viewed instantly while your event or wedding is ongoing.

Hahaha yeah call me bochup but I was simply too lazy to think of a layout design that I want and left everything to Nigel after sending him a few of our wedding photos for him to choose from. Basically, he cropped us out, together with ladder, blackboard, TV, stool and radio. Hahaha. I guess Nigel chose the wooden borders to fit our photo since it had some wooden elements in it. I chose to stay with this design so as not to complicate the overall outlook of the photo. Every customer is entitled to a unique customized border design which I think is really cool!

I have selected some shots to be shared in this post. You will be surprised that as many as eight or more people can fit into the photo booth!

I’m so glad we managed to take a keepsake shot with the Beehoon Productions team who helped out at our wedding banquet. Love them! Do head over http://www.facebook.com/beehoonproductions and view more of their works! And don’t forget to stay connected to us via Facebook and Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy 😀

The Chewys’ Wedding Banquet @ Orchard Parade Hotel

Posted on April 15, 2013 by missuschewy

Greetings chewys! You all very emo cuz it’s Monday right? Haiii me too. Didn’t have time to work on my blog on weekdays so I did this over the weekend. It’s another post flooded with many many photos taken by Jack and Aaron from ZX Workshop Photography during our wedding banquet! 😛 If you have missed out on our earlier post on our wedding gatecrash and tea ceremony, here it is!

When misterchewy and I were looking for our wedding banquet venue, we were quite sure that our main focus was on the food. Everything else was pretty much secondary. We only went to Orchard Parade Hotel because we love Tunglok and the food is always remarkable.

Actually, I kinda regretted a little after making our deposit because the ballroom is quite small and the ceiling is low. Oh wells.. It was comforting to know that everyone loved the food that night! 🙂

After my MUA was done with my hair and makeup, I decided to go down and mingle with our guests during the cocktail reception.

Bridesmaids helping out at the reception table.

My brothers-in-law and brother (background).

Parents wore blue, my fave color. LOL.

The husband’s colleagues.

Some of my colleagues.

Blogger and Twitter friends.

My Director. He’s a funny man. Hahaha.

Misterchewy’s secondary school buddies with their partners.

The Four Heavenly Kings. They CAN sing. Really!

My paternal grandpa and relatives.

More colleagues.

My 老姨 who took care of me when I was a baby. It was many many many years since we last met and she actually cried upon seeing me.

More relatives.

My uni friends.

My bridesmaids from primary school, secondary school, JC, social media (blogging) and tennis.

Relatives from my mum’s side.

More relatives from my mum’s side.

Twitter friend, Rae.

Two of misterchewy’s groomsmen and also uni friends.

Granny Chewy.

My JC friends.

NOT Mr and Mrs Smith hor! Hahaha. We had a very kind instant prints photobooth wedding sponsor!

‘Business’ was pretty good! Looks like everyone had a good time at the photobooth. Will definitely blog about this in the next post! 😉

Our emcees, Ivan and Maureen.

Our wedding photoshoot montage was being played right before our first march in. It was done solely by misterchewy a couple of days before the wedding. I chose the English song while he chose the Mandarin one. Enjoy! 😀

Before our first march in! I was feeling damn nervous!

First march in song: From This Moment On by Shania Twain.

The husband machiam superstar leh. Kept waving and waving. *Faints*

Tsk tsk.. Maureen told misterchewy to say “I love you” in 5 different languages. Luckily he managed to do so in English, Chinese, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese. Heng ah! 😛

Social media friends MUST take photos of their food before eating one! Hahaha.

Took a group shot at this table because misterchewy’s secondary school teacher and her little girls had to leave early.

Before our second march in. Wasn’t feeling as nervous as before!

Second march in song: Unbreakable by Westlife.

Ok I had this really weird expression because I was actually a bit afraid of the champagne popping. LOL.

Hahaha I shall expose misterchewy. He fake one lor. He just opened his mouth damn big and pretend he was shouting “YAAAAAAM!”

I also dreaded the moment when we had to present our speeches because I did not and refused to prepare for mine! Hahaha. I just think that thanking through actions is more important than through a thank you speech.

On the contrary, the husband was very well prepared and had everything that he wanted to say typed out in his iPhone. At that point, I was beginning to panic over what I had to say. LOL.

He also dedicated a song 你是我最深爱的女人 (direct translation: You are the woman that I love the most) to me. Ummm not the entire song la. Just a small part of the chorus.

To be honest, it was kinda awkward for me. It was like.. Am i supposed to cry or something?! Hahaha.

He ended the song abruptly and asked me “Okay?” Wah lao machiam he owe me one like that lor. -_-

When it was my turn, I admitted to everybody that I didn’t prepare for my speech and proceeded with some thank yous here and there. LOL.

After we got off the stage, we didn’t have time for a single morsel of food and went round for the table-to-table phototaking session.

As soon as desserts were being served, we had to prepare to see our guests off. From the beginning to the end of our actual wedding, the entire experience felt very surreal. It’s an indescribable feeling.. Heh 😛

Group shot with our gorgeous bridesmaids and suave groomsmen. 😀

Hahaha some kinda gangsta pose.

LOLOLOL I couldn’t stop laughing at this one. The husband pretending to be unfazed by the ladies.

A big thank you to our photographers Jack and Aaron, and videographer Chin!

Tata for now! As mentioned earlier, we will be blogging about our photobooth wedding sponsor next! Stay tuned and have an awesome week ahead! Connect with us on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy 🙂

The Chewys’ Actual Day Wedding 3 March 2013 Photos and Video

Posted on April 9, 2013 by missuschewy

Hihi chewy chewy friends! Sorry ah I know the above a bit distracting but please hear what I have to say. YES! I’m finally able to share our actual day photos and video! Ok that’s all I have to say for now. Before you do anything, please watch the above video first! Just need to click on the play icon but you might need to be patient and wait for it to load. Anyway, it will help to understand the activities which took place in the day better. Hurry and watch it! The husband and I LOVEEEE the video and we have watched it several times! I think if we were to watch it one million times also won’t be sian. Our videographer, Chin of ZX Workshop Photography did such a marvellous job! 😀 😀 😀

I’m gonna share the photos taken during the day of our customary wedding in this post! But hor, I need to warn you that it’s a super photo-heavy post. More than 180 pics I think? 😛

Aiya cuz I really love the photos taken by our main photographer Jack and additional photographer Aaron from ZX Workshop Photography so I ended up sharing like 90% of the shots here! Jack was also our PG for our ROM. There will be a part two, and that’s when the banquet dinner photos will be shared 🙂

The husband and I got together as bf and gf on 26 July 2010. About 3 months later, we applied for a BTO and got a pretty good queue number on our first try! Things kinda fell into place and we held our ROM on 9 September 2011 (09092011) shortly after misterchewy proposed a day before our 11th monthsary in June 2011. We agreed on another nice date 3 March 2013 (03032013) for our customary wedding! 😀

Needless to say, we had to wake up really early on this very important day! I couldn’t sleep the night before and ended up tossing in bed till about 11plus. Managed to wake up at 5am to shower and eat breakfast. My breakfast very simple one, just a small piece of kueh cuz I wasn’t hungry.

My makeup artist (MUA), PG Jack and VG Chin reached my place at 6am like what I had told them. All of them got cracking and no time was wasted. I wore pink contact lens on this special day! 😛

My bridesmaids arrived at around 6.15 to 6.30am and started preparing the 酸甜苦辣 (sour, sweet, bitter, spicy) concoction for the xiongdis to drink during the later part of the gatecrash!

Vincent is very professional and skillful. I liked my eye makeup and hairstyle! Told him not to bun everything up if not my face would look damn round.

It’s probably more obvious in this pic. Two days before the big day, I dyed my hair red. Some parts are fiery red because of the bleaching that was done earlier when I had my hair dip dyed purple last October.

Haha believe it or not, this super single bed can fit two 😛 The husband and I were even contemplating on getting this bed size for our future home! LOL then got more space to move around.

Only 4 bridesmaids in this pic because the last one overslept! LOL. Luckily she stays just across the street, so Maureen and Bee went over to knock on her door.

And in the meantime, misterchewy and his groomsmen were running through the programme sheet that the both of us came up with. This was done only at the very last minute and we were quite stressed over it. We tried to be as detailed as possible and sent the sheet to our Jack and our XDJMs for a once-over to familiarize themselves with their respective responsibilities.

Soon, misterchewy and his brothers were ready!

And so were we!

Girl power yeah! Hahaha!

My bridesmaids and their gatecrash weapons. LOL.

Wanna thank my David ah gu and da jiu ma for lending us their Bentley and even got their chauffeur to ferry us around the whole day! Would also like to take this opportunity to thank Steven ah gu and er jiu ma for printing our invitation cards for us!

Setting off to fetch his bride!

Gold from my mum and white gold from my MIL.

“老婆！我来了！” (Wifey! Here I come!) Watching this part of the video really made me LOL.

Task #1: Twister

Task #2: Yoga

Everyone who watched the video said that Kelvin (guy doing yoga on the left) was super cute and funny! 😀

A group shot before the guys proceeded upstairs for another round of ‘torturing’ session!

Task #3: 酸甜苦辣

HAHAHA it was damn funny (from what I saw in the video) because the guys “yam seng” really loudly and for damn long la!

Bridesmaids also joined in “YAMMMM! YAM YAM YAM YAMMMMMM!”

Still yam-ing until Maureen very sternly told them, “OK! 够了！喝！” (OK! Enough! Drink up!) and the guys really guai guai finish.

At this point, the girls demanded for their “open door angbao” before the next two tasks could be carried out.

Task #4: Dance to Wonder Girl’s “Nobody Nobody But You”

During our meeting, my bridesmaids and I were thinking of a song to make the guys dance to and they were strongly against Gangnam Style. LOL. I suggested this because it’s like “I want nobody nobody but CHEW!” Geddit? Hahaha 😛 I must say the guys danced quite well!

Task #5: Retrieve the right key to get past the gate

The husband feeling victorious. LOL.

Reciting his love pledge. He made it very “Ah Boys to Men” pattern. >_< Even shouted "Permission to enter the room, ma'am!" To which I replied, "Permission granted!" LOLOLOL.

Presenting me with his handmade ‘Chanel’ bag. Wahahaha faints.

Thanks to all our wonderful brothers and sisters for being so sporting! 🙂

My maternal grandma, second aunt and third aunt actually reached my house early in the morning before the gatecrash so that they could watch misterchewy fetch his bride 🙂

Setting off to misterchewy’s place for tea ceremony.

Some Chinese tradition that my dad had to shelter me with an umbrella till I reached the bridal car.

It was also a Chinese tradition that I had to throw the fan while the car was moving and my brother and to pick it up. He’s behind the lamp post in this pic. This means that I will still return home to visit them. Before the day of our wedding, I joked to my bro that I will make him chase after the car for 5km before throwing the fan. LOL.

Since we were way ahead of time, Jack helped us to take some photographs at the mini garden. Ok I duno what is it called la. Haha.

Tea ceremony commenced immediately and it was basically offering tea to all of our elderly.

We were also offered tea by misterchewy’s brothers and god brother.

So nice of my sisters to be fussing over me the entire day!

HAHAHA this part was damn funny.

Changed into my traditional Chinese wedding dress, otherwise known as kua. I was so happy to be wearing it because it was so comfortable and loose fitting!

Went back to my place for tea ceremony!

And again, we had some time for some photos at the playground 😀

Thanks to all my relatives and cousins who took time off to come over to my place!

A shot with my lovely next door Indian Muslim neighbors! We have been neigbors for about 20 years and almost every year without fail, auntie would cook a variety of dishes such as curry chicken, chilli prawns, nasi bryani and rendang mutton, and bake numerous cookies and kueh for us during Hari Raya.

With some of my cousins, nephews and nieces from both my parents’ sides!

Hope you enjoyed this post! Will try to share part two soon! In the meantime, do ‘like’ our Facebook page www.facebook.com/missuschewy and follow us on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy ok? Cheerios! 😀

Mobile Uploads from The Chewys’ Actual Day Wedding!

Posted on March 12, 2013 by missuschewy

Hellooooo chewys! Got miss me or not?! Sorry I was missing in action from blogging due to the customary wedding and subsequently work, but I was still somewhat active on Instagram and Facebook! Hehe so next time you know where to ‘look’ for me if you miss me 😛 By the time you are reading this, misterchewy and I are already in Europe for our long awaited honeymoon. Will be away for 3 weeks and I don’t have time to generate new content here so I am sharing some snap shots from our actual wedding day contributed by our friends! 🙂

On the day before our wedding, I got Krist to do my nails. Received many compliments!

Feeling very excited in the morning. Self-shot taken when misterchewy and our 5 pairs of xiongdi jiemei were playing the gatecrash games at our void deck.

My bridesmaids were so thoughtful to send me photos every now and then to keep me updated while I was waiting in my room.

In the bridal car to misterchewy’s place.

After the tea ceremony at his place, I changed into my kua (Chinese wedding dress) which was loose fitting and very comfortable. Eh the cheeky boy gave me a ‘Chanel 8.55’ after the gatecrash. LOL.

Was feeling very nervous while we were waiting for our first march in! We chose “From This Moment On” by Shania Twain 🙂

We were hungry but didn’t have much appetite for the first two courses so we went back to our room to prepare for the 2nd march in. The hubby’s suit, pants, vest and shirt were tailor-made and a gift from me 🙂

2nd march in was much better and I felt more relaxed! Song was “Unbreakable” by Westlife.

At the end of the banquet, we took a photo with our wonderful xiongdi and jiemei! Thank you everyone! Will be sharing our wedding photos in the next two blog posts! Follow us on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy and also on Facebook as we will be posting photos on the go in Europe 🙂
