Somtimes, it's amazing how a tiny idea can transform into reality. That was what happened to me. It started with a "we can do it too". And within a short time, we have created a blogshop called Moda Shoppe.

Its inauguration is July 2010, Saturday at 11am. Tell me about being ambitious. But I guess having a deadline makes everything more efficient. So, here we are, getting all excited and ready for the big day! And a lot to do! :) But I'll keep my faith in the highest ONE above - my Lord, my God.

Maldives Honeymoon

One word - AWESOME!

It was breathtaking having close encounters with whale sharks and manta rays underwater. It was completely restful and enjoyable lounging at the resorts with baby. It was entirely fun getting to know the Spanish (there were only two of us who were Asians, one German and two Brazilians) and the Maldivian crew on board Princess Lara. I also had a chance to learn how to dance some Maldivian dance (photos to be uploaded at a later stage when I finally sort out Baby's cameraS). All in all, it was a wonderful honeymoon where we spent quality time knowing each other and talking about life and futue, experiencing the underwater world and the beautiful Maldivian islands.

Wedding AD Album

Although there are really a lot more pictures to post, but I think Blogger will not be able to accommodate. So, I posted the following, which are exactly what our AD album contains. I love the photos. I think William was great!

Happy New Year

Post-wedding was just... RECOVERY from my very bad hang over. I never had such a terrible hang over. We stayed two days in Goodwood Park Hotel and after that, headed up to KL for New Year.

It was quite fun going with Erin and Jason. :)

Well, nothing very much to write about post-wedding. I have a terrific husband. :) That's all I can say. Love him lots!!!

Happy New Year @ KL!

My Pre-Wedding Photos

Here are some of my favourite photos. Many thanks William Chua (Photog)! Many thanks Precious Moments (BS)! Many thanks Marilyn (MUA). I had a lot of fun and of course, many thanks to accommodating Baby.

Solemnization 090909

I am officially married to Derrick Teng! :)

It was a simple church solemnization but we had wonderful family members attending to witness. I was touched to tears as well! Haha. Then again, I tear every-so-easily. Sighz. All right. Goodbye singlehood!

Looking forward to my BIG day on 27 December 2009.

Us all prepared - I DIY that hand bouquet. Simplicity was what I went for.

Our ring holders - I made their clothes ok! Handsewn!!! :)

363 Days

Today is the 363rd day to our wedding.

On the 365th day, my chicken rice was a hit! The chili was awesome too, though a tad too spicy. But it was really delicious. Even my sharp-tongued DD enjoyed it and had nothing to comment. :) And of course, I painstakingly ground the chili using the primitive way - mortar. So, a lot of love and efforts were put into making this chili. ;)

On the 364th day, we went to church to enquire about our wedding. Woo ~ quite a fair bit of things to do there.

But first and foremost.........

We need to apply for marriage with the church. The rest will then fall in place.

On the 364th day, we also learnt that we must speak good things. "Of all the promises of God, we must say 'yes' and 'Amen'." We learnt that 2009 will be the acceptable year of the Lord. And we will proclaim all blessings of the Lord! :)

I strongly believe so. Because, 2009 is such a special year for me and my DD. So, I could only believe whole-heartedly in the Lord that no matter how the external factors are, we have our Abba to guide us through and to bless us.

On the 363rd day, I met DD for lunch. I told him that I was discussing about Europe with Grace. And DD told me... "Let's plan a trip to Europe in 2010 (honeymoon)." So exciting. He said he will work hard for the trip. Me too! But... no matter how hard I work, my income is fixed! Nevertheless, I have faith that our Daddy God will give it to us!

He also took me to see his office. And he proudly showed me around. :)

Today is the 363rd day to our wedding. I am so blessed because I have the greatest gift of life - Jesus Christ, and the second greatest gift of life - my beloved Derrick.
