Wedding Confusions

I'm waiting on HDB to approve my AHG after which I'll have to go through the nikah (solemnisation). The confusion is coz the sanding (wedding reception) is on 1/12/13. That's almost 9 months apart. The plan is to nikah on 17/3/13, settle whatever homey things and then run off on 19/3/13 for a 4-5 day honeymoon to Bali / Thailand, insyaAllah.

I've started with preparations of course (From the looks of it, you know it doesn't cost $50.)

My First Egg Bun-a-loaf

I love those pillowy soft savoury buns especially the otah filled ones from Prima Deli. Unfortunately, budget conscious me decided I cannot buy those things too often. hahaha. I live in a house of 7 so you do the Math. What's the follow up to that? Learn how to bake them of course.

I have cats!

It's been a while. With the school, wedding and housing drama going on, it's difficult to be faithful about this.



So anyways, I've got a new cat!

She's only been with us for 5 weeks and then she gave birth haha.. It's been 5 days since the kitties were born. There are 5 of them as you can see. The one on the left is first, the one to his left is the last, the runt of the litter who's currently at the vet right now :(. Then the middle one is third, the white one is 2nd and the one on the right is fourth. It's lovely having cats in the house again. I just hope smalley, the one I want to keep, gets better soon.
