Happy Birthday @Melia

We had an early birthday dinner celebration at Chef's Restaurant on Saturday evening for Amelia, followed by presents and a little chocolate raspberry tart-cake. One of the birthday gifts Amelia received was something she had always talked about of needing a little 'cushion' behind there - we are glad you are making use of it!! Love you lots... XoXoX

Happy Birthday Amelia!!


Sisters.... Sher, Sharon, Melia & Chele

Mom's here!

My mother's in town... good thing the weather's holding up nicely too. She's been to WNY a couple of times.. but never this warm :P She's going to be here for about a month - between my place and Sharon. For the time being, she's mostly at Sharon's caring for her after her left foot surgery (nothing too serious!). She's been here for a week and a few days now and today, she flew to the west coast to the Grand Canyon State to Phoenix, AZ for a girls' weekend with Aunt Barbara. Have a great weekend mummy and we will see you next week!!

XoXoX - Sharon, Sherene & Peter.

Jou Ling & Jonathan Wurster

My partner in crime, video project 'assistant', gastronimic sidekick, and carpool buddy back in our college days in KDU, Penang and now semi-legal advisor/advisee - Jou Ling surprised me with a phone call at work on April Fool's Day to announce that she and boyfriend of three years, Jon had tied the knot.

It was no April Fool's day joke or anything - in fact, I have her mother in the background on the phone to verify Jou's claims. Thanks for the surprise announcement! I know that you did tell me some time back that you and Jon were on the way to become Mr. & Mrs. but what a wonderful surprise! Peter and I are so happy to hear about your nuptials and thank you for sharing pictures of your beautiful wedding day(s).

Congratulations to the newlyweds!!

Michael Bublé Concert

This was my second concert to see Michael Bublé. The first one was in a more intimate venue at Shea's Performing Arts Center and this time it was at HSBC Arena in downtown Buffalo. Joanna, Amelia and I had a great time at Michael Bublé's concert!! Here's one of the video caught on my little point and shoot camera!

Couch+Potato=WE WERE

Today, we did absolutely NOTHING!! Chele's back for the weekend and before she heads to Germany next week, Peter and I spent the day catching up on sleep, laundry and lounging.

A very much needed breather of a weekend for us lot. For this weekend, Peter and I are not heading somewhere for an event or appointment of any sort. A time to revive our tired souls from work, travels, social engagements and wedding planning. Aaahh.. the life of a po-tae-toe / po-tah-toe!!

Florida Panhandle

Adventurers we both were... along US Route 98 - from Panama City to Pensacola and everything in between... we stopped, we visited, we shopped, we ate, we took pictures and off we continued to the next stop.

With Mindi & Alyssa

Peter and I flew into Pensacola on Friday morning and drove immediately to Panama City to Mindi's. We spent a relaxing full day with the Jacobs and had so much fun making animal sounds with Alyssa. How big you have gotten Aly and we can't wait to see you again soon!!

Hugs and kisses for you Alyssa....
from Aunty Sherene & Uncle Peter!

One year anniversary

We've been legally married for one year now! And yet... there's still so much to be done for both wedding plannings. Thanks to all who have sent their warm wishes - thank you for remembering our day! Peter and I look forward to seeing you at either (or both) weddings later this year!

Married - 1 Year

Save the Date!

Ling Photography

I have been meaning to blog about Ai Ling for some time now - it's rather selfish of me to keep her to myself from the world, but I think her amazing work should be shared with everyone!! A picture of Penang's 'Love Lane' brought us together and a beautiful friendship was formed. She is an expectant mother (due in September - thus, her "busy" schedule to photograph our NY wedding), wonderful wife, creative soul and a cheerful friend - we instantly clicked! :P

A picture is worth a thousand words and through Ai Ling's lens... her pictures definitely had more than a thousand words to say. See for yourself .... visit Ling Photography and her blog.

Marshmallow Peeps

One of my picture was selected to be included in an article about marshmallow Peeps on http://www.nowpublic.com. Here's the picture of a 'sunflower' chocolate ganache cake made by Julie for Easter. It's another masterpiece by Julie and we love the cake! Scroll down beneath the picture to read the article about Peeps!

Peepocalypse Now: Destroying Marshmallows for Science
by jordan
March 23, 2008 at 01:44 pm

If you want to get kids into a museum, destroying squidgy marshmallow candy seems to be the way to go. At the Rochester Museum asn Science Center, staff have taken that very approach. Leveraging kids' love of sweets and their curiosity towards blowing stuff up, Tim Cawley and company have devised a novel antidote for science apathy.

The Peeps became huge. Then Cawley let air back into the jar. The Peeps shrunk instantaneously, to the crowd's delight.

"They really taste nasty without the air in them. I don't know what it is," Cawley said, holding up a shriveled Peep. "But should you eat your science experiments?"

"No!" the children replied.

Jesse King, 11, of Lyons, Wayne County, watched the presentation with his parents and sister.

"It was good, but there were no explosions," he said. "Me and my dad were hoping."

Easter

We love holidays... lots people gathered together with plenty of food. After eating, joking, playing games, doing other fun things around the house - we all managed to catch some afternoon ZzZzzSss to sleep off some of the amazing food we had. Oink oinks we may be... but it is a somewhat scientifict fact that eating turkey does makes one sleepy. And as the pictures show at the end of the slideshow... in slumber mode we were in :P
