Scrapbooking

I noticed that I love to create things. I'm pretty much a hands on person generally. Even for the wedding. With the help of my cousin, Ying and my sister, Min, we made: the boutonnieres, my march-in bouquet of blood red roses, the bouquet of tulips for the day, as well as the brides maids bouquets of lilies. So on and so forth. Even with food. I love to create new things with food.

My recent muse was scrapbooking. We recently got our wedding pictures from the photographer and since then we have been cracking our heads as to how we want to send out our thank you cards, in what format we want to, and how it should all come together to look like. At first I used the scrapbooking tools to lay out the pictures just to have a feel of how we want our card to look like, but it was such a success that we decided to use that instead! I can't show you our finished thank you card for the moment, you should receive it in your mail in another month or so... since we have yet to go through the guest list again. But I can show you one that I did about Julien.

I loved it so much that I decided to do one for myself too!


I did a page of Julien's childhood pictures too in the end. He's just too cute as a toddler.
Trying to have some fun without my yeti at the moment... He's in Thailand on a business trip at the moment. Whine...

When Toys Were Simple

We decided to head down to the Mint Museum today, something that has been on our want-to-do list for quite a while now, but we never managed to strike it off because either the weather was not good, or we just preferred to do something else that weekend. So today, we both decided it was a pretty good weather and a good occasion to make that trip to the museum.
Julien was very motivated to take a walk down memory lane also because he had taken his old Minolta film camera along with him and was pretty eager to test it out. We went, we saw, we loved it - it's something not to be missed. Everyone should try it once.

I had taken out the digital camera that day too and was more excited to compare the pictures between that of the Minolta and the digital camera taken from the Mint Museum. Julien was very enthusiastic with the Minolta as you can see at the start of the day. Unfortunately, the "photographer" felt that there was not going to be enough light at the museum to take nice pictures with the Minolta, so I ended taking over on the photography business after.

That's not a party hat he's wearing. We were standing in front of the lift lobby with a huge rocket picture on it, and it was just mere coincidence that Julien picked a spot just where the tip of the rocket would stick out above his head. At least he's happy.










I went snap-snappin away so fast that there are too many pictures to upload at one go. But I've selected a few of my personal favourites.

I've never really played with these toys in my time, but I thought there looked real cute all lined up like this.

Julien took this pic. It's his favourite. Of course I was way too short to have seen it.

Tin Tin is one of my personal favourites. His name's almost like mine. I used to watch tin tin cartoons when I was growing up. I still do!

I learnt from Popeye that eating spinach helps you grow stronger. Even though I didn't know what spinach was then or how it looked like.

Bruce Lee played the role of Kato in the Green Hornet. Did you know?

Cats! A Tardivat favourite!


That machine was tiny!!!

All these were displayed in a frame. They were tiny! About the size of the little green plastic soldiers that boys play with these days.

This car was about the size of a roll of film.

This one was even smaller!

There was this lovely little cafe in in the museum so we thought we'd stop for a drink before heading back. The food there smelled really divine, but we never ordered. Think we'll drop by the next time just to try out the food.

I love the weekends!

I don't know how our day ended this way.... But it DID.

We've been blogged!

Finally! Finally we collected our wedding pictures just last weekend! Not only that, I also just received an email from my photographer's wife-turned-friend to inform me that we've been mentioned in their own blog (I have copied their post below for your reading pleasure)! For copyright reasons, you can view our pics at: http://capturingyourworldinaction.blogspot.com/

Thanks Janice and Anthony for eternalising these precious moments. =) I'm going to look back on all these pictures one day and wonder how on earth I ever managed to stuff myself into that dress!!

Time to start selecting our picture for the Thank-you-for-coming cards!


Julien & Ting Ting

You may have caught a glimpse of Julien & Ting's wedding photos via our Facebook updates. :) Yah... you see lah... must join us there for chop chop updates. *tsk tsk.

With the Express Highlights that was screened during their dinner, we had some of their photos ready for viewing the very night of their wedding. Uploaded via Facebook there and then, the very-excited-Ting was telling us, that though she was away on their honeymoon, she couldn't resist logging in just to see her photos! Hahaha..

Thank you... for loving the photos and for liking the Paris photos too. :) Hope you're happily looking through your millions of wedding photos. In the meantime, I will try to remember the correct sequence of the 4-Ts in your name. ;)
