Din Tai Fung

We've eaten at this restaurant a number of times for the past (almost) 5 years that we've been in Singapore. Although there is an eternal long queue before tasting that heavenly dumpling... still, it never fails to make me wanting for more! And it even makes me forget that I ever waited for their food. :)

Our main staples :

Pork Chop Fried Rice

Spinach

Pork Dumplings

Vegetable Salad

I just wish there would be more Chinese restaurants like this in Philippines. Authentic Dumpling and Buns! YUM!!!

4 months and 17 days

It's been 4 months since our wedding. Whenever I think about that day, it makes my heart happy.

In some days, I feel I could have done better in the some aspects. Especially when I see seemingly perfect weddings, both local and international.

We may not have a flawless wedding, but we immensely enjoyed the celebration with family and friends.

Living my life with this man, makes me realize he have so much more to offer. He is passionate at work, goofy at home, and I'm so sure that he is the one God prepared for me. :)

Other times I forget that we are married. It still feels like bf-gf, ex: petty arguments and friday night dates. I guess we have not done something major that would make me feel... Yes, I'm married na nga. Maybe when I change my surname in my passport and IDs.

Which reminds me, I have to do that ASAP so we can plan our next (nth) honeymoon! :)

On the road : Malacca

Last weekend, we went to Melaka with the whole kaboodle. :)

I booked the 8:00 am bus to Melaka, so we need to be there at 7:30 am for check-in. It was a 3.5-4 hours journey from Singapore, and we arrived around 12:30 pm. We had a hard time finding the guesthouse that I booked, I guess the place is not familiar to us, or the map is not that clear.

To make the long story short, we arrived to our destination, and we are pleasantly surprised that the place is very clean and beautiful. We had the whole house to ourselves! We rented a total of 4 rooms (2 double, 1 twin, 1 single) plus we can use the 2 bathrooms, living room, and fridge.

The owner, Mr. Colin Chan is very nice and helpful. He even printed a map as a guide for us.

Double room

Melaka is beautiful, but very very humid. We were very tired due to the long distance walking, even more so because we were doing it under the scorching sun. Worse, I did not apply sunblock! Gaaaa!

Inspite of this, I can confidently say that I'd like to come back to Melaka because of this... Foooood!!

Darya Kebab

Not shown is Caspian Kebab, Platter for 2, and lamb stew. The food is delicious but it was too overwhelming for my liking. Then we proceeded to starbucks for gift-grabbing.

At Bullion Park with Hubby, Kuya, Karen, Elsie, Mark, Ash, Jayson, Che, Doods, Ashley, Chelsea, Cherry, Neren, Grace, Bernard and Gwen. - 10 December 2011

Still unable to upload the food pictures because it's still in my hubby's camera. :) Hope you had fun during the holidays as much as we did!

Struggling

For years, I've struggled (but immensely enjoyed!) maintaining a blog because the problem is I am too impatient. I am not as eloquent as my sister. But I have lots of free time (I hope I don't sound too desperate), and I'd like to keep an online journal. So here I am.

I've jumped from blogspot to livejournal to wordpress to tumblr, then back to blogspot again. How indecisive can I get?! I've changed my blog title a few times, too!

But marriage somehow grounded me and made me more calm and stable. As I get used to my new surname, I promise to make this blog more interesting. :)
