as it was my birthday, my family surprised me with a scrumptious chocolate cake from lavender, pavillion.

bobby helping me cut the cake. hehehe so cheesy!

us being silly. as usual.

this is one of my favorite shots of me with my grandmother & mother

with my lovely cousins

with my parents

this is some of bobby's hantaran to me. left to right (click on the picture for a larger view): 1. sirih junjung, 2. fruits, 3. chocolates from shangri-la's lemon garden & 4. cake from shangri-la. not pictured is the ring, telekung & bunga rampai.

my ring which was part of the hantaran. i let bobby pick it out & didn't see it until about 2 weeks to the engagement for sizing purposes. he completely floored me by picking this stunner from the carat club. it's a half-eternity band with 10 love diamonds & engraved with our names within the band. i love it!

the ceremony

the following are some of my favourite pictures from the arrival of bobby's family & friends (or the entourage as we've nicknamed them), to the actual ceremony of setting the terms of the engagement & the wearing of the engagement ring.

waiting...

bobby's dad with my dad

bobby with my maternal grandmother.

according to tradition, bobby wasn't even supposed to be in the house

during the discussions but we're not exactly a traditional couple, are we?

the ladies (the lady in purple is bobby's mom & she's wearing a baju

kurung made with the sari fabric i bought for her in india. i love how

it turned out)

bobby looks like he's listening intently doesn't he? hehehe

i think this picture was taken during the exchange of pantuns which

was quite hilarious because no one was really prepared for it!

i was finally given the ok sign to come down

bobby's mom putting on the ring on my finger

more pictures here lovelies!
