Month long marriage life

Been MIA for almost a month! tsk tsk.. not good at all. It's not that marriage life has been keeping us sooo busy. (Also not saying that marriage life isn't good ) It's just been an eventful 'almost one' month.

Let's see, we had

Valentine's Day which happened in KK & Brunei. A special brekkie at Fleurdlys. It's rare to have breakfast together. It's nice not having to wash up after it too! No plans were made for the "usual Valentine's dinner" but we were in a way, forced by Ck's aunt to do so. Her words to me were quote & unquote "You HAVE to go and celebrate Valentine's Day! Do it now while you can before you get older like me!"

So.. after a couple hours of shopping, we ended up in an Italian fusion restaurant by the sea which left us waiting for over an hour just for dinner.. Let's just say that I rather had Burger King!

KK trip! 14th - 21st Feb. Spent V-day and Chinese New Year there. Lots of shopping to do but didn't get to go to the beach or do any "beachy" stuffs.. Oh well, at least we had a car to drive around and I didn't get motion sickness from the plane! If it was a longer flight, I think I would have been ..
Housewarming Party at our home where we had of tons of BBQ (chicken wings, sausages of all shape, size & flavour, prawn & cuttlefish balls and pork bellies..) and tons of pasta!

Big Big thank yous to John and Lorene for bbqing along side with me!

Lesson learnt from the party:
1. Should let others handle bbq and go mingle with guests.
2. Cleaning before and after a party all by ourselves ain't no piece of cake!

Chinese New Year! The year we have the right to give away 'ang pows'. The year which we also "technically" ran away (more like flew away) from having to give ang pows! Not that we don't want to give but we JUST had a wedding. No sense in killing our banking account just because it's Chinese New Year right? RIGHT

We came up with this rule for ang pows.
3 groups - Siblings, family and non-family..
Family: Students (no source of income)
Non- family: 12 and below

Didn't use the rule at all because we gave only to siblings and our parents so the rest of you, wait until next year k? When finances are more stable..

Highlight of Chinese New Year in KK, lion dances! These are not just nay lion dances, we actually got to see a group that competes nationwide and was in 2nd place. Also at the particular open house, there were suckling pigs and roast lambs! Fattening........

A little quiet on the fireworks but good enough to "humor" me. FYI, I LOVE fireworks. Every year, Sultan's birthday, it's a no miss for me to be at the field getting the best possible view to watch fireworks

Bitesized:
Our fondue set's no longer a virgin! It was meant to be an all-girls night but being the man of the house, ck was cordially invited by the girls to join us. Chocolate fondue.. YUMMY! More all-girls chocolate fondue nights coming up..

We're on our way to being our own bosses. At the mean time, we'll be starting up Kinderchef classes. Cooking for kids from 7 - 12 years old. If you know anyone interested, call 877 3012 or email kreativgarten@gmail.com for more details.

That's it I think. A whole month's worth of marriage life summarised into ... paragraphs. Hehe.. Will post up pictures soon when I find the time to downsize them to browser friendly sizes.

Just found out that we've been tagged by Ches. Am definitely going to do that in due time.. With Clyde's version too! (I'll TRY to make sure of it..)
