Skimmerinky Dinky Dink...

snuffy hubby just exclaimed "this is heaven" after i looked over, caught his eye, and went over to kiss him. =)

i had the most wonderful surprise from the salsa gang today, thanks to josee for pretending to be late and dragging me around shoe-shopping.

i'd say they did a good job of keeping me in the dark about today...considering how "sharp" i usually am, as pointed out by panda.

i was supposed to meet josee for lunch before my SHINE meeting today and woke up late.

as i was lamenting how i'd meet IT-show traffic along nicoll highway if i took the only straight bus from katong into town, snuffy was offering me suggestions on how to get there...ie. changing two buses and after some more thinking, even offering to send me to the nearest mrt station.

but i was convinced i was going to be late, so decided to take a cab.

i was getting ready to head out when snuffy decided to change into his berms and i was like..."why are you changing? you're gonna be staying home anyways."

so he walks me out and i grab a cab along the way out to the main road.

i arrived at paragon at noon and called josee, saying that i could just head down to the restaurant to grab a place for us both and she could just meet me there.

she said it was okay and that she wanted to shop for shoes with me before lunch (if i didn't mind!).

and so, i met her and walked around to a couple of shoe shops before she decides it's time for lunch.

she led me to the soba place and i caught a glimpse of panda...and then as we got nearer, i saw the rest of the gang there and SNUFFY HUBBY!!!

so sneaky!

but i loved being able to meet up with the girls and guys who are going to play very important roles on our wedding day.

it was such a pleasantry to meet up with a group of smiling faces and then to be greeted by a SNUFFY CAKE.

it took me a bloody long time to figure out why there was an elephant on the cake.

after i got it, snuffy hubby tried to explain with...

"because skimmerinky dinky dink, skimmerinky doo..."

i didn't know what he had wanted them to get outta that, but i stepped in and said because the nickname SNUFFY HUBBY had derived from us talking about Sesame Street and Big Bird's friend, Snuffleluffugus. =)

he said he ordered the banana chocolate cake from awfully chocolate right after i exclaimed how cool it was that he had an outlet at his office building.

simon managed to join us after all, albeit after lunch.

but it's nice to have my wedding day sisters and brothers throw me something i totally had no inkling of.

at least not when, or where it'd be. =)

you got me there fellas.

thank you josee, ling, wai hwang, daphne, keng wee, shing ling and simon for doing all these.

and to snuffy hubby for trying his hardest to keep a secret.

HUGS.

and here are some rather overdued pictures...

firstly, of us buying our wedding bands on valentine's day...

snuffy had finally decided he liked them enough to want to put his money down on them.

and here's one of me and my girls from 71A from nancy's wedding.

miss them already.
