The wedding of the year

As I mentioned earlier, Sally and Venu's wedding was THE wedding of the year. They had one church ceremony in Jitra, Kedah and one reception in Petaling Jaya. I have not enjoyed myself so much for a long time.

You should ask the kids, esp Gaia, she love the place, the cousins, the dances and everything in it. No posh hotel, no beach wedding, no garden wedding, must be there. OK Wei Wei ee, you promised that she can be the flower girl for your wedding. You must not get married by the beach!

Wedding Eve

I am sure by now relatives and friends all over the world know about THE WEDDING of the year, the granddaughter of Chong Boon Piew......Chong Aik Yew got married on the 23rd of August.

Why do I say it was the even of the year, it was for the Chong Clan. It has been quite a while since the last wedding. All of us (those aunties and cousins in Malaysia )took the opportunity to go back to Alor Star, It served as a reunion for us too. The bridegroom's family chartered a bus all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Alor Star.

Belows are some of the activities on the wedding eve. to view more photos, go to your own facebook.

We started the day with Breakfast in a coffee shop in Jitra, Kedah with my two sisters in-law


Then to market (with 3ee's order, must cook lunch and dinner for the eve)
"tau eu bak" black kitchap pork is a must




Bride Sally Chong (she MUST show peace sign every time her pic taken)



The last fried champedak left



See how many hands went for it

"Lai Sau" (with flora shirt) was the one who fried the Champedak. She is the 2nd sister in-law of my 2nd sister in-law. They stayed two doors from our house and I can still picture her sitting by the chopping board cutting veg, cooking. I spent most of my waking hours in her house (almost all my waking hours) I was in my teen when she got married and moved to Tanah Merah. She is still the same "Lai Sau" warm, generous, and loving.



Flowers for the bridal car

Another Must " Jiu hu chay" the veg must be cut very fine and it required skill.

Sorry, failed ! the bride tried cutting the carrots.

Love, passion, determination !

HA HA HA..... I DID IT , I DID IT !!!!

This took almost one year of patience, determination, love and passion and I am very proud of myself. I hand quilted almost 700 leaves ! can't believe I did it!

Of course in this one year I did lots of other things too, like sold my potholders, just finish another 8 for the next order. Help Guat Looi with her flower garden and traveling.

Currently I am half way with the Autumn leaves and water colour. ( Prema prefer autumn leaves but zee, you have the first choice to the next piece) And you Grete, TKK la

Flower garden

Guat Looi has never hold a needle before in her entire life and she is inspired to quilt too. This is her first piece, name flower garden... Beautiful ?

Ignorant is bliss ?

The above pictures were taken in Vietnam on our way to the beach. The lorry that carried poisonous chemical had a leak and omitted very foul smell. The rescue team and the bystanders were crowded around and did not even aware of the danger it post.
