Po-tay-toes, Po-tah-toes!

I love ‘em all!

It dawned on me today how much I love potatoes! It’s quite frustrating really, because I’m not much of a sweet-tooth and I don’t crave for a lot of things. But potatoes, in particular, chips…. mmmm mmmmmm. He can testify to this. I don’t drink sodas, I don’t eat candy, I don’t drink beer… but oh, potatoes.

French fries from MacDonalds. Mashed potatoes. Potato salad. Potatoes in chicken curry. Hashbrown.

And chips. Potato chips. Urgh!

I loved Lay’s and Ruffles BBQ chips, but they don’t have them in Sydney and I was rather distraught. The BBQ flavours here suck! BUT, Thad introduced me to Onions and Sour Cream chips and well, that’s really the beginning of my downfall. And then it was Sweet Chill chips. And Salt and Vinegar Chips.

And the latest trend?

The Most Disorganized Bride Alive

Yep, that’s me! I’m not sure how I got deluded into thinking that all bridal studios, gown designers, hotel coordinators and photographers will be free as and when I called to make an appointment! Serves me right that I managed to meet up with 0 bridal studios, 3 designers, 2 hotels and 0 photographers. I know, shocking eh? Given that I was only home for 2.5 weeks, you’d think I would have made better use of my time.

Most disorganized bride alive!

Hi, meet my husband of 3 weeks

I’m… married?! Gah! The whole idea still takes awhile to get used to!

So yes, 5 days after arriving in Singapore, we got married! We had a little ceremony at his place, just family, and went out for a simple dim sum lunch after at Summer Palace, the Regent Hotel. Great food!

Bye 2008? Hey there 2009!

So the 2.5 weeks went by faster than I could say a quick “bye!” to 2008 and “hi!” to 2009.

It was insane! I rememeber going to the Sydney Fish Market to check out the 36-hours non-stop trading hours and being swept up in the entire Christmas spirit. The Market was PACKED. I couldn’t even squeeze into my favourite fish-shop – Claudio’s – because customers were simply oozing from their doors. The packing area was also lined was tubs and tubs of fish, all ready to be served on Christmas Day.

Can't see a thing!

Back home… again!

Yes, I was home and now am back again

Too many things to update on!! Those will come in due time.

In the meantime, I’m just thankful I managed to bring this back to Sydney with me…
