I am a newbie in scrapbooking. When I say newbie, I mean newbie! But I’ve learned so much these past few weeks just by looking at scrapbookers’ blogs and from Smidapaper.
I now know what are stickles, thickers, brads, eyelets, liquid pearls, chipboards, clear stamps, rub ons, distressing, and the list goes on…
I’ve just completed 2 minibooks called ‘I AM’ and ‘The Story Of Us’ thanks to I-Mei and I love them!

But let me warn you. This is an expensive hobby!

Romantic settings, great food, lovely couple – this should summarize the whole wedding.
This is one of the most fun wedding dinner we’ve ever attended because I know the bride, Kah Mun and Peter knows the groom, Wern Kai. So we were not bored and we had fun walking among the tables chatting with mutual friends of the bride and groom.
Our table# 19 consists of only 9 ppl (great coz we get to eat more!). Kai Jun and Ting Ting, Lee Sun and her daughter Qi Qi, Mr. & Mrs. YK Lee and their daughter Jing Shuen and Peter & me. 7 adults and 2 kids.

The souvenirs and thank you gifts are so beautiful. A pair of chopsticks and a custom-made bookmark.
Beautiful Gifts
And of coz I took a picture with the bride and groom :)
Groom, Bride & me
And oh ya…E & O Hotel Parking is so expensive…rm5..darn!

I was trying to use the deep-fryer which we won at a Coastal Towers New Year Party this year. However, I decided against it as it would require me to use a lot of oil. I didn’t want the oil to be wasted as I do not know when is the next time I would deep-fry something again.
Pacific West's Tempura Black Pepper Fish Fillet
So I just used the usual frying pan to deep-fry the Pacific West’s Tempura Black Pepper Fish Fillet which I bought 2 weeks ago. Less oil was used this way. There was also 2 black peppered sausages left in the freezer and I pan fried it as well.
Our unhealthy but delicious dinner
I served them hot with tar tar sauce and Thai Chilli (Peter is chilli sauce king btw) and both of us enjoyed our unhealthy but delicious dinner!
Oh btw, the black pepper fish fillet is not spicy at all!

I know you all must be thinking that I am crazy to watch Mamma Mia! for the 2nd time within 4 days! Yes…I love it so much and since Peter haven’t watch it yet, I went to watch it with him. And oohh…Sun Mei treated us the RM7 per ticket (weekdays before 6pm price I think) and her friend Sylvia bought us popcorns and 100-plus. Both Peter & I were being pampered! Well, no complains though.
Mamma Mia! was still so damn nice even after I watched it for the 2nd time. Fabulous. Fantastic. Dot dot dot good! :D

Thanks to Nuffnang and Shu-Min, I get to watch Mamma Mia! special preview screening just a few hours ago! And how was it? Well…it was SUPER DAMN FANTASTIC! Certainly the best movie in year 2008 for me! Well, I am after a musical fan.
I wanna kiss Min for bringing mum & me to watch this preview screening. :)
Mum, Min & me
And look at those precious tickets!
Mamma Mia! tickets
Mamma Mia!
***20 year old Sophie (Seyfried) is preparing to marry her boyfriend Sky (Cooper) at her mother’s hotel on an island in Greece. She seemingly has it all — a carefree life, a loving fiance, and happy friends — but one thing has been missing all her life: a father.
Her only wish now is to be given away by her dad at her wedding. By reading her mother’s diary she discovers that she has three possible fathers. Sophie then secretly invites all three men to the wedding in a desperate bid to discover which of them is her father before the wedding bells start to chime!
But not all goes according to plan: old loves are re-kindled, new loves are formed, and Sophie risks everything to discover the true identity of her father.
Featuring the songs of ABBA, and based on the world’s number one musical comedy which has people dancing in the aisles every night, this movie is sure to be the hit of Summer 2008! ***
Well, the storyline is no surprise to everyone. So there is no harm that I copy and pasted the movie synopsis here. Actually, it is quite funny to see Pierce Brosnan sing (which he is not good at!) but Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep are fantastic!
Me & Min (mum was the photographer)
Just watching the show and enjoying the storyline and ABBA songs is so nice…I wanna watch it all over again! So I’m going to FORCE to darlin to watch it with me again when the movie is out! :D
