What do you do if you're a cat and you're cold because of the pouring rain?

Sleep on top of a warm ATM machine. Hee!

If only we see this view everyday...

I Heart U XO XO

This song truly reflects how I feel on most days.


I know that I've been having a hard time managing my temper. I can blame it on the hot weather, stress and frustrations at work/home or you for just grinning foolishly at me. Whatever the reason for my outburst, I know that it's usually blown out of proportion so for that, I'm sorry.

Thank you for your tolerance and forgiveness.

I hope that you had enjoyed the cupcakes I made for you with love.

I <3 U
XO XO

Love,
Sel

Yishun Dam - 19 December 2007

It's a sneak peek of the goofy things we do on our date...

A Bumpy Ride Home

Google KPE and this is what you'll get...



"Most advanced underground tunnel expressway"?

We think not!

The Parking Lot Cat

The cat was sleeping on the roof of Vin’s car. And Vin wasn’t even mad. He just went “Awww… So cute!”. The fact that the cat might have caused a dent or scratch on the car didn’t even cross his mind.

Snoozing on the cold surface of the car roof...

Staring directly at the camera...

The cat was too comfortable and refused to move. Even the blinding flash coming from our camera did not make the cat budge. It’s only when we got in the car and started the engine that the cat got off the roof and strolled across the carpark.

A few days later, we saw the same cat sleeping on the roof of another car on the exact same parking lot. That must be its favourite spot and we were interrupting its sleep the other night.

The cat must have just become too domesticated.

Who's The Musician & Who's The Poser?

Vin or Sel?

Obviously, Vin is the musician and Sel is the poser. Ok so Sel can’t play… But she does look good with a guitar, even if she said so herself! Hehe...

Why Vinnie & Sellie Stop Blogging

It’s not that we forgot about it…

It’s not that we had given up on it…

It’s just that we are too busy. Busy with work. Now, busy with the wedding preparations as well.

Oh and if you haven’t heard, we both decided to take a semester off school. It is just not possible to do work, school and wedding preparations. Even with just work and school, our social life is equivalent to none. Whatever time we had over the weekend, we had to run our errands, do our chores and spend time with our family. We have been neglecting all our friends. Sorry guys… Hope we can catch up soon. Or maybe we’ll just see you all at our wedding? Hehe…

Anyway, here’s what we plan to do. Just update the blog as and when we manage to find time and backdate it. That way, our blog serves more like a journal to us (of course, minus all the personal details that you don’t need to know).

So if you don’t see new posts, don’t be fooled and think that our blog is dead. It could just be that we are backdating the new posts.

The Gold Card

Vin’s proudest credit exposure…

The American Express Gold Charge Card

Why it stands out among the other credit cards?

• No credit limit
• Double the points for life

Hmmm… Maybe we can earn enough points to convert into KrisFyer miles and redeem a free round trip flight to our dream honeymoon destination?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Crab?

Ibu was going to cook crab today. You know what she found? A mutated crab. Or should we call it deformed? Maybe special or unique is better.

We know of people with extra finger or toe. We’ve seen conjoined twin fruits like bananas and rambutans. And it’s still fascinating to look at the unique crab.

She cooked it anyway. Guess who was the “lucky” one that ate it?


Oh well, there is no harm. And it should taste like a normal crab all the same.

I'm Sorry, Please Forgive Me...

OK, we had a huge quarrel on Sunday. There wasn’t any argument or any form of drama that you will normally find in a disagreement. Vin was being his oblivious self while Sel was giving him the silent treatment. It was so easy to overlook the issue as we were watching DVD together. But Sel wouldn’t let it go.

Don’t want to go into the details over what we were quarrelling over but we did not speak until Wednesday. Actually, Vin was making every effort (call, sms and email) to get to Sel every few minute but she completely blew him off. Well that’s until he dedicated the clip below.

That’s what broke the silent war between us. Plus the constant and repetitive line “I'm sorry, please forgive me”.

So, our relationship is not perfect. But we are trying to make the best out of it. For ourselves. For our parents. For our future.

Well, Vin was incredibly shy about his dedication being posted here. He is a much better guitar player than a singer. However, Sel insisted to do so as part of his punishment. And also, the fact that she didn’t find it bad. Maybe love is not just blind, it is deaf as well. Hehe…

April Fools'!

Sel calls Vin after school:

Sel: Dear, I lost my wallet...
Vin: Hah?! Where did you put it? *panick*
Sel: I don't know... How?
Vin: Where are you? *concern*
Sel: I'm at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station.
Vin: How did you take the train without your wallet with you? You mean you lost it during the train ride? So careless! Now what?
Sel: I don't know... Guess I am stranded here.
Vin: Hmmm... Let me think...
Sel: APRIL FOOLS'!!!

It was a classic story of a damsel in distress and he was going play the hero. Although it was just a prank but Vin was a darling.

Meet Vinz's New Target that makes him go GAGA…

Pure Awesomeness... Oh man!!!

Like what he always said, it's achievable... Nothing is impossible if you work for it.

We're heading down to Malayan Motors tomorrow afternoon to check it out up-close and personal after the Marriage Convention 2009...

See you there!

Our “Candle Light” Dinner

The spot…

The “candles”…

Romantic? Hehe… Not! We took away New York Pizza: Queen set, Cheese fries and Vin's favourite, Spicy Buffalo Wings for dinner.

The food at New York Pizza was never really fantastic. Even so, the standard of the food seem to have dropped anyway. The spicy buffalo wings used to be hot, crispy and spicy. Now, the crispiness and spiciness is below par. They are stingier with the servings of the cheese on the fries. But the biscuit-like crust pizza that Sel doesn’t like still tastes the same.

And the service at New York Pizza is always bad. The last time we went there, we had to wait 45 minutes for our food. How can a fast food joint that long to serve food?! Well, we didn’t have to wait that long his time. But the staffs were so blur that we had to remind them for chili sauce, serviettes and even drinks. Tsk tsk…

Mama Goes to Kerala, India

Mama was so excited about her holiday in India. It will be her first time taking the airplane and her first time in India. As time drew closer to the flight, she confessed that she was nervous of flying. Thus, we gather as many relatives as possible to send her off to give her moral support.

More group photos...

Sel & her sister...

Hunks & Babes? hehe...

Spot the differences...

Mama smiling after all the goodbye tears...

The kids can't get over the temporary goodbye...

After she landed in India that night she messaged Sel, “kecut perut Mama, tapi best”. Then, she was on the train for more than 12 hours from Kochi to Kerala. Hopefully, she has a great time in Kerala.

Sel has taken over the cooking duties while Mama is away. The person who is happiest person with the arrangement is Vin. He is glad that his wife to-be knows how to cook now. Thank god so far, nobody had any diarrhea yet. Hehe...

For those of you who don't know... Mama is Sel's mom.

Haircut @ E-Mage

Sel was all smileys on Saturday because she just loves the way the stylist did her hair. All in all, it took about 3 hours. It was a super-duper long process and it went as follows:
1) Dye the middle part of her strands
(because the tips were dry)
2) Then dye the roots and tips
3) Wash
4) Treatment
5) Rinse
6) Trim
7) Blow-dry to style


She was so pleased with the outcome that she kept going around shamelessly asking everyone “nice or not?”!

A Trip to the National Museum of Singapore

In Singapore, the 1st and 2nd day of the Chinese New Year Celebration is a public holiday. Most shops are closed, the beaches are overcrowded and available taxis are scarce on those days. What to do and where to go for fun?

Head down to the National Museum of Singapore! Hehe… We went there mainly because it was free entry. We had a hearty lunch at home before heading there. Better have our stomach filled first as the touring the museum might take awhile and most eateries are closed anyway. When we reached there, guess what, we realized that forgot to bring our cameras! Hahaha… Thus, we had to depend on our camera phones. Here are some of the pictures we took:

So History… Is there a sure way to determine that the History that we are educated with is true and complete? That is the question that popped into our mind after touring the Singapore History Gallery.

1st Weekend of 2009

We both have never kept any diaries or journals, what more blogs! This is something new for the both of us. So pardon us if we sound boring to you.

It’s first Saturday of the year. New year but same old schedule. Here’s how we spent our first Saturday of the year...

Lunch @ Rex
Of course we had the famous Chicken Rice. YUMMY!!! Once upon a time, we were so crazy about it that we have it for dinner at least twice a week. Vin is still crazy about it and it’s his dinner choice everyday if he has it his way. It is so sinful that we are still carrying the weight around. Bleh!

Haircut @ The Amara
Vin has this “sickness” that he has to have a schedule for his haircut. That is on every first weekend after payday. Anyway, the haircut is only S$10 and we both like the style so whatever makes him happy.





Audio House Sale @ Geylang
We had no real plans for the day so we head there to browse around. There was nothing much there. The space was quite small really. Frankly, we have not heard good stories about Audio House and have never bought anything from there.

Shopping @ Marine Parade
Traffic was super bad! It was really crowded there. But we still had a great time. Things we bought:
1) Slippers for Vin
2) Samsung E250 (black) for Papa’s B’day
3) 4 DVDs – The Simpsons Movie, A Beautiful Mind, Serendipity, Kate & Leopold
We had snacks at Swensen’s. We ordered rodeo wings, deep fried mushroom and cookie summit and cleaned up everything. Yummmm!!! We checked out the arcade before heading back. Had a race, some pilot action, some kiddy games and of course we never missed the table hockey game. One of us won the race while the other won the game. Well, you win some and you lose some...

On the first Sunday of the year, Sel cooked Asam Pedas following Ibu’s recipe.

Looks and smell like Asam Pedas. Even taste like Asam Pedas so we guess it’s a success. Hehe… Papa complemented that it was delicious and nobody had diarrhea. Yeay for Sel!

Note to ourselves, take pictures next time…
