So much has come to pass since my last post! I've been really busy research-wise which is a good thing :o) I'm still working (rather slowly) on my research article. I do not dare to think about the daunting task of thesis writing ahead. Lab work has been productive and frustrating at the same time due to technical failures. But that's science now let's get on with the good stuff!
A few weeks ago I went to the Stitches & Craft Show with my fellow craftsy friends Liz and Laura (my other craftsy friend Jenni has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl - congrats Jenni & Ron!). I found that this time around at a craft show I'm more interested in sewing-related stuff than paper craft supplies. I bought some sewing patterns for handbags and made a wimpy little pin cushion at one of the 'craft bars'. My fav section would have to be 'The Incubator' where all these craftsy folks were selling their handmade goodies (pics can be found here). It was like Etsy or Made it but in real life :o) hence I like.
That night we joined Ken and Grace at Khoa and Mish's for dinner and a game of monopoly. They prepared a delicious feast of Malaysian curry, Phillipino pork with salted egg salad (above) and one big roasted snapper. It was so nice to catch up and see how they're going in their newlywed life. Thanks guys for a wonderful time!
The following week, a couple from our bible study got married. Congratulations to Tim & Ash! We attended a Nalangu ceremony (below) to bless the bride and enjoy some yummy Indian food.
Their wedding was beautiful (below). Ash looked stunning in her gorgeous Indian wedding gown. I always get a bit teary at the exchange of vows bit at weddings especially Christian weddings. The highlight of the reception was Tim and Ash doing a bollywood turned salsa bridal dance! that was gold.
Apart from all this Tan and I have been getting into the habit of going bike riding and jogging every other day to increase our fitness level. I'm so looking forward to warmer weather and longer days! I've also been cooking and baking so stay tuned for more food posts :o)
