daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over daniel, hananiah, mishael and azariah, “please test your servants for ten days: give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see” so he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.

at the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. so the guard took away their choice food and wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. to these four young men god gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. and daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.

*salute*

a n!gHt of sWeet roMance**

though there were no stars tonight..
i am just glad that the weather turned out well…
earlier on there was rain in some areas…
but thank God it all went away by the time we headed to fort canning for our picnic…

yupz…like every year at ballet under the stars..
the ballet is just by the way…
(though inez claims that she was there for the ballet..she was gorging herself to the max that we had to stop her…)

inez..definitely practicing her theory of sleeping on journeys to save time..

this is the first time i come here so early for the picnic…
although it is open from 530pm….looks like everyone else has beat us to it…

this is the first time cecilia & i hang see each other in the day time..
we always meet up at night for jogs & cycles…

cecilia wants to get her face right…

i wonder why she doesn’t smile…

cecilia loves the grapes from israel…

and she’s awake!!..

from left: uncle stan…mrs stan….karen….cecilia aka sister stan…
(btw..that’s green tea!!)

some very bad pre show performances..

my first attempt to make salad with chunks of fish…
ling cod steamed with fermented black bean…
though a little bit salty…the greens helped…
with some pistachios to give it some “texture”..

un-syncronized shot…

syncronized shot…

“stand up for singapore”..

i must say i still like the classical ballet…
then…it feels like ballet somewhat…

playing with my recently discovered long shutter function…

during the intermission..
i found a “friend” sitting right behind me..
dalmatian!!!….

my love my love my love…
her name is “chooooooobi”…
(dialect for “cute”)…

last act of the night..
love the songs….
modernized ballet…

the other highlight of the night…
was when all the girls (5 of us) has to squeeze in the back of uncle stan’s car…

eh..where is cecilia ah….

eh…where is karen ah….

we all made it in!!…

i had a tAste of how she’s like…

yeah…lana cakes…
meet mrs violet kwan…

i have heard so much about her and her cakes..
but i have never for once met the time to try her cakes..
they are forever sold out!!… :O

i managed to get a piece of her leftovers..
lemon butter cake yesterday…

hmmmmmmmmm…
the reason why i live for cakes…

these are so so so…..good…

after many years of being together & not & finding each other back again…
姐 & ah sheng finally tie the knot officially today…

18th july 2009

(also the day i saw many mini-s… )

the past few weeks had been fun running around…
buying things..printing things..making things…collecting things…
i don’t know..
i am just feeling so excited & happy for her…

thinking i was late for the morning preparation…
i was shocked to see 姐 open the door when i pressed the door bell…
geeez…so the make up artist wasn’t here yet..

i brought along a photo album i made for her with printouts from her pre wedding shoot..
the fun one that derrick did a few weeks back at pulau ubin..

even derrick is here…
and all ready to action!!…
(can somebody just shoot the make up artist who was 45mins late???)

he can fit into any space..
well…almost…

justina & bretrand..
here in singapore from kuching to marry their sister off…

the very happy groom..
yeah..he’s moving so much that my camera can’t capture him properly… :O

mama jessica…
after much anticipation…
can finally hand her beloved daughter over to ah sheng..

papa jessica…
like all fathers…
is quiet on the outside…
but heart jumping on the inside…

the leaning tower of lychee martini & bailey’s…

fun balloon deco…
somehow it doesn’t feel birthday party-ish…
it just make the occasion more lively…

bretrand making sure that everything is ok..

mum & i…

姐 all excited & all smiles…
after receiving a very interesting lego wedding gift from nicholas…
it didn’t matter that her hair was still in a mess..hehe…..
and it sure calms her down a bit with the time running late…
(no thanks to the make-up artist who was 45mins late…people!! please remember her face!!…)

love this hairstyle….but i think 姐 has to do this eye make-up everyday to go with it…
in ping’s words – “beautiful mess”…
i agree…

my 姐夫 to be in a few minutes..
peeping into the room…

beautiful hand bouquet..
courtesy of ping….
(the wedding expert made through her own wedding..hehe…)

arrival of the friends & family…
as the time gets closer to the ceremony..
i was getting more excited…
& the feeling of a wedding was beginning to set in…

finally!! it’s official….
mr & mrs!!…
woohoooooooooooo!!!

& the stress is over…

loving the food..
so much so that i realised i didn’t have many shots of the spread…

another very nice wedding gift from her friend…
caricature of 姐 and 姐夫…
and guests can write their well wishes on post-it notes…

mrs goh!!…the wedding expert…
& her new assistant…
making sure that all deco be taken down…hahaha…

it has been a long time..
when will 3 of us meet again?..

congratulations 姐 and 姐夫!!..
now that the both of you will embark on a new journey in life together…
enjoy every beautiful moment of it…

& nothing else changes..
you will always be my most beloved 姐 …
