Adventure of a lifetime

Hair combing ceremony for Karen's big day! First combing: blessed to be together to the end, second combing: blessings for a hundred years of harmony, third combing: be blessed with a house full of children and grandchildren, fourth combing: be blessed with longevity.. Finish it all with a bowl of tong-yuen to symbolise a complete and sweet marriage <3

Congratulations again to the beautiful couple~ Can't believe how tired I was at the end of the day, I had no idea how busy I was going to be as MoH and MC :P I think I would freak out and have a panic attack if I was an event planner.

J and I have been taking manual motorcycle classes at the HK School of Motoring in Ap Lei Chau. Our mandatory exam is coming up soon so we took the opportunity to practise on a breezy Sunday afternoon. 

na-ha

Housewarming party with lots of Thai food followed by Taboo..

...and Cards against Humanity :P

Carmie's big 3-0 bday at Pirata

Saturday hike with the girls

Need to make note to self to do this more often. =) Just two more weeks until Christmas *does the happy dance.*

Flowers of November

What a colorful month its been, can finally relax abit this weekend. Really looking forward to Dec when cooler weather comes round.

Blue hues for K's bridal shower. Brunch at 208 Duecento Otto with the girlies

My first time flower arranging..its surprisingly fun although we were all quite unsure how to start at the very beginning. Just push through with the first stem and remember what Lowdi said about line & mass.

It's all coming together =)

Ta da, my finished product. Not too shabby for my first time right?

All the best :) #kj1120

Make a wish

So, it's time to wind down a little with the year coming to end soon and to look back at the past two months with appreciation and gratitude. Feeling extremely blessed to celebrate so many happy moments with friends and family.. =)

To keep the tradition going strong, Indian food for my big birthday! I think it started back in 2007 or 2008 when I came back to Hong Kong and went with Flow for a quiet girls dinner. Since then my favourite Indian restaurant in Hong Kong is Bombay Dreams :D Let me know if you have other good recommendations that I should try.

Happy days with the fambam

What's in store for next year? Wishing for more wonderful adventures and happy memories 

Brunch with the SC girls at Boqueria. Good food which felt like it kept on coming as part of their buffet all-you-can-eat. *oink yummy dessert with chocolate churros.

:)

J's super duper awesome homemade cha siu rice for my bday. OMG SO good...

Mm..one of my fav cakes of all time, angel cake from Maxims made two thick layers of soft sponge cake and a surround layer of fresh cream. For added sweetness, can't forget the crunchy caramel bits.

Flow's bridal shower, lovely dinner at Le Marron. Can't believe we're all back in HK to celebrate this special milestone.

Raspberry inspired treats from Sift.

Yay its the big day! Celebrating with close friends over an intimate Vietnamese lunch.

Congratulations to the sweetest couple. All the best Flow & Ken =)

Here's to happily ever after~

The brief encounter

Brunch time, nothing like fresh yukhoe (beef tartare) mixed with an egg and sweet pears

 Stopping by Gyeongbokgung

 Can you tell how happy I am?

So simple and yet so beautiful. Wish time would just slow down right here

Break time at O'sulloc at the Insadong branch, a three story tea house specialising in Korean green tea that hails from Jeju islands. We sat down on the second floor and enjoyed some tea and desserts

 My fav matcha green tea ice cream, not too sweet or milky.

Spongey green tea cake roll with a filling that's sorta like half frozen mousse/cream.

 My first time getting a caricature done. Our guy smirking at us each time he looks at us as we wait for the big reveal.

Na-ha :D So apparently K has a square face vs my pointier chin.

Lunch at Korea House.

Lo ban hai ngo.

*Ta daa, the food has arrived.

 

Such a nice to getaway and I'm totally craving kimbap right now. Until next time :)
