New trails to blaze..

Ang-Pao box

This is the money box that I did for S's wedding.
It was pretty easy and fun to make and I m seriously thinking of doing this full time.
Recently started a course in Bridal Bouquet arrangment. First lesson has been fun so far, but I was really unprepared and felt like such a ditz, also cause I was really tired from the night before and felt kinda unwell. Will post up pics of the stuff I'll be making when I get the chance to upload them.

So far have made three different types if corsages and it has been rather fun. Made a carnation, orchid and rose corsage with different fastenings, not too bad, although I kinda pierced my thumb with the wire which was not so fun.

I feel that this year I want to do so many different things, really excited at the prospect of the courses as well as the new roads I want to be embarking on. Really think I should start back on French, seems all of it has gone to the dogs and I think that isnt too good. Like I can understand fine, but I can't write or speak it to save my life, not good. Sigh....

It's less than a month to CNY....can't wait!

And It's all over!

Hurray, the wedding went off without a hitch! Well, almost without a hitch.
As I had my saturday class on, I had to miss most of the tea ceremony but went for the all important haggling at the bride's front door. It was rather uneventful tho, cos the groom ended up hurting his arm and the fun came to a premature end when the parents intervened with the house key. sigh.
Nevertheless it was all good fun. The guys were really sporting and it was a relief that at least all the brothers helped to create a good atmosphere and we had alot of laffs.

Dinner went well too. I MCed with one of the "brothers", me doing the english portion and him the chinese. Went alrite, had a couple of funny blunders but most of it went ok.The guests were all pretty punctual and the night ended around 11, which was just nice.The Bride looked lovely and the pics turned out great as well. Everyone had a great time and I think we have forged some new frenships. It's so cliche, makes me think of the SDU adverts of old what with couples hooking up at some fren's wedding. Well, fingers crossed, we'll see what happens.

Oh well, here are some of the pics so far;

All the 'bros' and 'sistas'
