Selamat Hari Raya

Spent the day packing my things at Teddy Chua's place and trying to help prepare our wedding guest scrapbook. Was invited by Az & Roy to have dinner at Az's place in Tampines. Her mum made a lot of nice Malay food and it's been some time since I last ate delicious Malay home-cooked dishes. My fave is the beef rendang...sedap! The pandan tea also brought back nice memories of my YEP Surin days. Spent some time catching up with Roy & had fun taking photos with Az and her friends. =)

• Preparing our own scrapbook for wedding guests to write their well-wishes
• Consolidating guest lists
• Booked our Honeymoon trip at NATAS fair- changed destination frm Hawaii to Mauritius

Whenever friends ask "how's your wedding preparations?", i can only answer "taking things 1 step at a time" with a twinge of guilt as I was putting work as main priority during the hectic Term 3 period.

It's really quite a challenge trying to balance work and preparing for our wedding but thankfully, I am still "surviving" as I have my pillar of strength aka Teddy Chua.

HERO Drawing Show

Went to Downtown East to catch the Korean Drawing show "HERO" with Teddy Chua in the evening. We went to a Thai restaurant for dinner and had some time to walk around before the show began at 8pm. It's been quite some time since I felt so relaxed. Prior to the show, we indulged in a Magnum ice-cream each and I felt that it was too sweet. Should have stuck to my decision to try Fruitare's new grape flavour popsicle.

I bought the show tickets as part of Teddy Chua's birthday gift and deliberately chose seats very near to the stage as I understand that for such performance, you won't enjoy it as much by looking at the big screens.

Once the show began, we were kept entertained by 4 very talented Korean performers. They could dance, do speed drawing and engage the audience with their humour. I was very impressed with their 80 minutes (no intermission) performance and felt that it was well-worth the $$$. The show began with a solo speed drawing of Guevara, followed by an action painting of a jigsaw piece of Michael Jackson by the 4 performers, a solo dust drawing of Bruce Lee, a solo speed drawing of a scenery piece with a Tiger, group performance of a rubik cube art piece of Superman, a pair performing light drawing of cupid with a couple, a group marbling drawing of underwater scene with marine creatures and mermaid, culminating with a marvelous 3 performers using speed drawing for the main characters in "The Three Kingdoms".

There was a photo session at the end but we decided to just catch a few snapshots of the art pieces as there were a huge crowd lining up to take photos. A sample of their talents:

"Captain America"

Caught this film with Teddy Chua at Marina GV after having dinner at the relatively newly renovated Marina Square food court. I love the view from the food court. Great spot for taking NDP fireworks in air-conditioned food court.
