My friend’s dog,Rinko, has been found!!! Thanks to everyone!
He ran from 203D to 206B’s Compassvale rubbish chute then to the common area where there was an ongoing funeral. Then when he saw a school bus alighting a student off, he jumped onto the school bus.
The school bus driver saw the notices and called my friend back.
It’s a happy ending after all!

So many of my favorite people are getting or got hitched recently! I’ve been helping out at so many I’ll soon be an expert on the subject.
It’s an amazing feeling to be at the weddings of friends you love. They are filled with joy and beauty you just can’t help feel overwhelmed with blessings to be there to see them solidify their union. Yes, I guess you can tell I’m a romantic at heart.
Being a jie mei at many a friend’s wedding and helping them out to plan and co-ordinate has given me some insight so here’s sharing some tips to brides-to-be.
- The bride is always the center of attraction and absolutely gorgeous on their big day. You are the princess… just let every one else do the work for you and don’t fret! You’ve already worked enough at the planning… enjoy the moment for it passes very fast and don’t let the small hiccups get to you.
- A marriage is for a lifetime but a wedding is for a day, so while it is a defining moment… the most important thing is that you are prepared for your lifetime together. Overspending for your wedding or having to be in debt to finance a dream wedding may find you facing a nightmare once the wedding is over.
- I know a lot of brides and grooms get stuck in a position where they try to please everyone and only end up being really stress up. Try to find neutral grounds especially with parents and parents-in-law… but ultimately you should not be forced to do anything you will have a lifetime to regret .
- When choosing boutiques or gowns or photographers, take your time… ask lots of questions and do bargain!
- Try to involve each other in the decision making as much as possible… and learn to give and take.
- If you can ask someone who has had some experience with weddings.
- Lastly, enjoy and smile!!!
Here are some of the weddings I’ve been to in the last 6 weeks (since I got back from my trip) that I remembered to bring my trusty camera. Gals.. send me the photos when you get them from your photographer!
Vernice and Tommy : Vernice are such a gorgeous bride!
Charmaine and Leon: I love you both and was so happy to see you tie the knot. Leon you are a real sporting groom! Send me the pics when you get them!
Doreen and David: We will meet up soon ya? So happy to hear of your good news! Take care of yourself ya? You’re gonna have your own blessed little family soon!

As much as I love Japan I’m longing to write about other interesting stuffs! Hee… but I will finish the trip up with the last batch of photos to share.
I still can’t help but lust after the food! I spend a large portion of my travels seeking out the best food in the locals joints.
I happened to be jostled into a festival! Everyone was out on the streets celebrating the journey to the temple. Incredible atmosphere!
This is my last shot as I head to the airport.

As some of you may know, these days 24 hours feels like 4hours. Time is just flying by! I’m not sure if it’s good that I’m making full use of every single second of my youth or if it’s bad that I’m depleting so fast I’ll look back and think what the hell happened… how did I get so wrinkly and wise so fast! I feel that I’m at that mid-way point…. too old to feel like I can get away with anything and too young to stop my adventures.
Anyways a couple of my friends requested I post up more Japan picture soon cause they are heading there in 2 mths time! Remember to buy me some yummies! I’m kinda bummed I couldn’t join their trip cause I’ll have to save my leave for a Cambodia Expedition I’m joining in July. I’ll be teaching English and Maths at the local village… while we try build a school for them.
Japan such a beautiful country I wish I could go back there soon. The next time however, I wanna make it a backpacking trip following the old trading routes of the Edo Period starting from Kyoto. I love visiting old castles and temples as much as I love their natural scenery and hot springs!
I edited one of the photos of Asakusa Temple to Sepia. And I’m amazed that nothing much has changed in centuries other than the outfits of the people. I can totally imagine being at that same spot 100 years ago having that same moment of cultural awe. Just that the crowd would be dressed in Kimonos and other traditional outfits.
I’ve been to Japan several times and the best way to see it is still by foot. Let your feet take you off the beaten track. The country is relatively safe and that makes it easier to simply explore and talk to the locals.
Some of the best food I have had was found in little street side store with their own regular patrons. The owners treat me as if I was an old family friend coming around for a home cooked dinner.
One of the perks of visiting a country or a city that you have visited previously is that you no longer feel obliged to go to all the recommended places of interests that they recommend to tourists. You can just re-visit the places that held your person interest and then spend the rest of the holiday wandering to local haunts and experiencing the culture in the eyes of the everyday man.
Finding places which beauty has been taken for granted by the people that lives in that areas but gain a fresh new take in my eyes… one of a foreigner not accustom to such natural splendor esp in urbanite Singapore.
I even caught some early blooming Sakuras when I was there… even though it was very early spring then and the golden week doesn’t start till April. If you’ve been a regular reader at my blog… you’ve seen that I love cherry blossoms…. so it was such a pleasant surprise to catch these rare blooms when I expected not to see any since I couldn’t arrange to be in Japan during their Golden Week.
Shopping in small towns also means I get to buy stuff at cheaper prices then in the heart of Tokyo city!
I’ll finish up on my Japan trip in my next post!
