a day of unity and much blessings (Part 1)

What: My good friends' wedding (JW & Elaine)
Where: Church

JW and Elaine...my friends of 10 and 4 years respectively...literally watched them grow in love...

To JW:

It only seems like yesterday when I had to prepare for my O levels and I remember consulting you every Sunday at church about Biology and Chemistry (and other stuff as well; we were no geeks!); I was in Sec 4 and you, being 3 years older were by then serving our nation...and subsequently during my A levels, you offered me advice and passed me all your notes from your RJ days.....a big thank you, bro. And now...I know who I can go to for dental care.

To Elaine:

Got to know you when you first returned from undergraduate studies in the US of A through our dear friend kel; soon to be Dr. Lee..it is always nice chit-chatting with ya...and hearing about your girlish exploits in the States...and of cuz, our love for cats! You can count on me to babysit 'em should you be away! Indeed, you are a great match for my bro.

From today onwards, Dr. and Mrs JW Teo:

Here's wishing upon you God's blessings and grace on this very special day and the days ahead... Enjoy Hawaii!!!

I Will Be Here (By: Steven Curtis Chapman)


A beautiful song played during your wedding before Elaine walked down the aisle...

a few more papers to go, and I will be at last a free man. Well, at least till I become shackled by corporatisation.

American Diner

Where: Swensons
What: Lunch with Mum

Mega Burger: Massive portions. Do not be deceived, the beef patty looks burnt, but it was juicy to the bite. There were onion slices, and ham and bacon as well that gave the burger that extra ommph... truly a meat lover's delight! Dish comes with lightly salted fries, and tangy coleslaw that was refreshing and appetising. Disclaimer: good to come with a good dose of healthy appetite, given its 'mega' portions.

Pesto Salmon Saute: Dish comes with a generous scoop of mashed potato and pieces of cauliflower, carrots and 2 stalks of asparagus on the side. The salmon was a bit of a disappointment though; it was a tad too cooked, hence, its natural oils (omega 3fatty acids) were sapped up- leaving the fish dried, and somewhat shrivelled. Nonetheless, the saving grace was the creamy herb-based pesto sauce that was used as a dip for the salmon. Dried salmon notwithstanding, this is definitely a balanced meal!

Editor's note: that was just so much to eat! truly a hearty and perhaps not so healthy dining experience, given the massive portions!
