funny wedding quotes

... Funny Wedding Stuff ...

was surfing the net for personalised wedding stickers which i m thinking of getting to seal the plastic bags for the 'Sweet Corner" and maybe also to stick it onto the wedding favours which we had ordered for our guests... (Yes, i had ordered the cards liao... Yippy...arriving on 2nd October).. just happen to chance upon some funny bumper stickers as such...

and one thing leads to another... i started surfing for other funny wedding sayings....

"I love being married.

It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

Marriage requires a person to prepare 4 types of "Rings":

Engagement Ring Wedding Ring, Suffering, Enduring

Marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy."

... and some wedding comic ...

Jelly Making

While revising the unit on 'matter' with Kartikraj for his CT2, we came across a recipe of jelly in his textbook. The question in the book was 'In what state is a jelly?' His question for me was, "Where can I buy the ingredients to make jelly?"

i didnt want to spend too much of our limited time on his question so i promised him that i would make some for him if he improves on his science results. Well, from a 60% for mid year, he scored 78.5% for his CT2 and even scored full marks for his MCQs (which also means he failed his paper 2) but anyway, a promise is a promise....

headed for cold storage one day and bought the ingredients... for the 'just in case i screw up the first time', i bought 2 packets of jelly mix instead....

Angela helped out in my first try with the apple favour jelly and it turns out well... kartikraj loves them... and so did Mr Ang.... this is like the very very rare times that i even stepped into the kitchen lo.... so they better be appreciative....which they did.... hahaha....

anyway, received a very sweet message from kartikraj's mum last night...

"Hi, thanks for the jelly u gave to karttik. din realised until today (3 days later). he was enjoying them quietly! only told me today! You are such a nice teacher! He is really motivated by you!"

That's the reason why i love being a tuition teacher... the one to one interaction... the catering to a child's learning habit... the one to one encouragement for that 2 hours per week can make a difference to a child's life...this is something unachievable in a school setting...

anyway, her message reminded me that i have another pack of jelly mix at home and since i m free today... might as well make it before the term starts... which i can forsee will be one that is super busy, super bitchy and super wayang.... yes, that's life for me in school now.... sianx...

step 1: inserting the nata de co co and fruit cocktail into the mould....luv the flower ice cube mould....

Step 2: boiling the jelly mix - pineapple favour

stir stir stir....hot hot hot...

Step 3: pouring the boiled jelly mix into the mould...

step 4: creating a mess for kom (my super duper maid) to follow up... hahaha

I m a model today

... I m a model today ...

Last week thru msn,

zhuan: this coming wed teachers' day right?

me : yup yup

zhuan: u free?

me : yup yup

zhuan: then can help me with a photoshoot?

me : huh? me?

zhuan: yup. you. very difficult to find ppl to do photoshoot on weekday... me trying to find all my teacher friends.... so u okay???

me : sounds fun... okay lo..... =)

and that's how i was bestowed with the chance to be a model for the October issue of 女友 magazine which zhuan works as the fashion editor... =)... of cos not the paid kind of professional model la... is the passer-by kind of model... free one... hahaha....

i was informed to report at 35 hamilton road, #02-01 (photo studio) at 11am for the photoshoot... and oh boy, i was late.... 5 - 10 minutes late due to the 2 traffic accidents that jammed up the cte and the road outside bishan mrt... but luckily, i was still slightly earlier than the make up artist, the hair stylist, the fashion art director & his assistants (2) and the photographer & his assistant... din know that to take one photo shoot, i need to be "prepared" by 7 people lo.... and is that kind of good looking, stylish ppl oh .... 真的是让我大开眼界... abit 不知所错...i felt like a 村姑 in my bling bling flats and retro tube dress....

first, the make - up artist sat me down and helped to doll up my face...besides trying her very best to camouflage my horrible eyebags and dark circles, she also have to camou a super uncooperative big pimple which chooses to pop up next to my nose the night before the photoshoot... sianx....

anyway, she gave me a tip to reduce eyebags.... that is not to drink water after 8pm.... even if it's one night... she claims that effects can be seen oh ... i think can give it a try leh since she is currently the make up guru who is dishing out make up and facial care tips on FM100.3 oh.... and i likey the make up she gave me... very natural... not those super 夸张 type..is really 化妆 kind and not the 伪装 kind of make up... hahaha

second up was the hair stylist ... within 5 - 10 minutes, under his hairdryer, his comb and some hair spray, i was ready for the photoshoot... simple and nice...i likey also... i think i look quite good after the hair and face transformation... hahahaha...

third up was the fashion art director assistant... she had mixed and match my outfits and had ironed them while i was doing my make up and hair... she handed me a pair of super tight fitting jeans, a black tube and a dark vest to try on.... then added a chucky necklace (her own) and 2 heavy bangles as accessories... and not to mention the scary super high 4 inch strappy heels....

then all 6 (minus the make up artist) brought me to one of the small roads near the studio to take the outdoor shoot... really felt like a model lo... got photographer taking photos of me while instructing me on my poses, hair stylist with hair spray in hand, ever ready to adjust any naughty hair that is out of the way, fashion assistant with tissue in hand to wipe my sweat and to carry my shoes... hahaha.... then ppl in the area were all looking at us lo... so embarrassing yet so fun.... =)

then a second change of clothes.... a pair of high waist short, white long sleeved shirt to be matched with the same vest and heels....

second photoshoot at the same place but need to walk ...take bigger strides and swing your arms more, the photographer kept reminding me.... i shy la... hahaha... but i still think i did a good job for an untrained model... hahaha....

that's it.... all done within 2 hours.... had fun and that's my once in a life time experience to 'work' with professional make up artist, hair stylist, photographer and fashion art director..... now waiting for the fashion editor (zhuan) to call me up for an interview regarding the clothings and to wait till 3rd week of september to get a copy of the october issue of 女友 ....so exciting.... hahaha....

i was shy and scared of being labelled as a mountain tortoise, so i didnt dare to take any "in the process" photos on my own... but i was busy snapping away while waiting for the bus home.... heee...

i likey the look - sweet sweet one... just like my name... heee
