It was another busy weekend.
Cindy spent the weekend renewing her CPR certification while Chris worked a full Saturday teaching the same lesson three times!
An unexpected spurt of energy on Sunday afternoon saw both of us clearing out our cupboards and storing away some of our mess. Chris discovered old clothes (and how much he has grown since then) and recycled bags of unwanted teaching materials. Cindy, on the other hand, was delighted to find that she had shrunk sufficiently to store away ALL her post-pregnancy and maternity clothes.
The weighing machine doesn't lie, yet Cindy failed the acid test - her wedding gown!
Naturally, we ended up digging through old pictures and looking at our wedding pictures and scrapbook. Although it has only been 3 years, everything seems to have moved on and changed. Certainly, we can't imagine how life would be like without Hannah!
Our not-so-young flower girl has since hit puberty and would probably cringe at this picture...
A picture paints a thousand words...
(Hint: Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony)
Unfortunately, we don't have time to pen a thousand words at this sitting. If you can hear little Hannah squealing and screaming in the background you'd understand why. Probably one of the most memorable moments at our wedding, we can safely say that the not-so-subtly-hinted desires have been fulfilled:

One of my work colleagues loves your blogs after she leapt to it from mine. Her name is Shirley, she is from the Arts Dept and I told her to leave a comment but she is shy (she wanted to ask about defrosting those cubes 2 posts ago).
And as long as the baby is crying in the cot, you can blog as much as you like!
P.S. I dare not comment on the wedding gown.
P.P.S. Did brother John enter another video for Amazing Race 2?
I think John is too busy these days to prepare an audition video. Besides, by the time he is done with his new fitness programme in the gym, he will no longer fit into the tagline he created with Donny ("overweight, 30-something" blah blah blah....).
I might not mind the baby crying in the cot, but I don't live alone! Remember the over-anxious grandparents?! Gong gong went berserk over a red patch on her knee and called me up at work to report it.
Oh, and defrosting the cubes are simple: plan ahead and leave it to defrost overnight in the fridge (safest and recommended), or flash it in the microwave oven for a couple of minutes on the "defrost" setting, or just leave it on the kitchen counter (not really recommended, especially for meats, due to bacterial growth and that sort of thing).
If we travel, we tend to put it in our cooler bag with ice packs. It then defrosts as though in the fridge. If we want the cubes to remain frozen, just pack in more ice packs (we have really good ones given to us). Even frozen milk stays frozen during my regular 45-minute drive from work.
If there's a will, there's a way!
Thanks so much for the tips....my son, nicholas is currently 3 and i guess he is too old for all these frozen food. its a new idea for me on how to prepare food for my next child.
hannah is sooooooooo ADORABLE!!!!!!!!
