Just some short bursts of updates about what I’ve been up to:
Attended a wedding.
The venue of this wedding is held at a Uniting Church. The inside of the church of course… as you can see… who doesn’t want to get married in this church? But the big curtain on the wall behind the altar raises a question mark from me…. anyways… I shall not dwell into that.
This is my first ever wedding that I attended in Australia. I thought the whole service was very solemn to tell you the truth. When the bride marched in, of course we all very excited to take pictures of the bride right? So quite a few of us was snapping like crazy.
Then, when the bride reached her groom, and the reverend stood in front of them, she announced “There are a lot of photography fanatics here. Please be reminded that this is a religious ceremony”.
@_@
I thought weddings are suppose to be a joyous occasion.
Anyways…. I shall not dwell into that any further as well.
Below, is a picture of all the best men surrounding the groom. No, they are not praying for him. There seem to be a wardrobe malfunction somewhere on the groom’s suit, and the best men are frantically trying to fix it. Got fixed in the end fortunately!
The groom is our friend. He used to be in our cell group, but ever since he met his girlfriend (now wife), he dissappeared from our cell group (cause his wife is from another church). Nevertheless, we’re happy for him! Congratulations!
On a different occassion, another cellgroup friend invited us for Christmas lunch 1 week early, because they had holiday plans.
Awesome lunch! I cooked roast potatoes cooked in duck fat! YUMS! And also roasted veges (pumpkin, onions, carrot, eggplant). And we also had roast pork, and roast turkey, and mango salad… yummy!
And for dessert, Jit Jing baked us the best bread and butter pudding I’ve ever tasted! Absolutely divine!
On a different occassion before the year 2010 ended… Mat and I had a romantic, quiet, relaxing, Christmas picnic at the Royal Botanic Gardens.
It was such a beautiful day. It was cloudy, but yet not cold, not hot. We had sandwiches, cake, chips, drinks, chocolates…
… and a spectator…

A lady with 2 mini gray hounds:
Played 2 games of scrabble…
and then had a lazy rest of the day!
Till then, hope you had a great start to the New Year!
the bride made the comment about the photography fanatics? wow!!! don’t play, play …
love the picnic shots!
Not the bride, the Reverend!
(sigh of relief) i was starting to feel a bit sorry for the groom.
