Little Miss Maker

At the moment, Mister Maker is one of her favourite programmes.

When the show comes on, out comes the paraphernalia- an art-box from Toys R Us, the googly eyes and pipe cleaners from Daiso, the pieces of construction paper from Art Friend, the scissors, the glue, the crayons and marker pens. She makes an intolerable amount of mess, but in exchange for leaving her be, she gives me 20 minutes of peace to entertain Lil Sis.



What's great about the show is it reminds me of those days when I use to paw through the Bookworm Science Series and test out cool tricks like "Can You Pick Up an Ice Cube without Touching It with Your Fingers?". Its also family entertainment, even Sofia is engaged by Mister Makers' goofiness.

What's even greater is she gets so motivated by his energy, all I have to do is channel it in the right direction:

Helping Mummy prep the quail eggs for her sambal tumis.

Love & Marriage... and the Salacious Hens Nite.

What's a wedding without the notorious Hen's Nite stories for us girls to talk and laugh about over dinner and music?! That's like a horse without its carriage, says Frank Sinatra. Hold up, I think he was singing about Love and Marriage there. :>

Sapna & Gauri did well in selecting the location of Kanchan's Chickee Nite. I lurrrve the idea of a yacht party- its private, its convenient and we can get the bride-to-be as drunk as a skunk without the scrutiny of the outside world. Which is exactly what happened *lol*.





We even got her to do a 'strip' show ala Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal. Very apt I tell ya what with her getting married and all but, sadly, I am sworn to NEVER disclose the photographic evidence. All I can say is, she was forced to change into this sexy sailor outfit courtesy of Big Sis Sapna, the Deputy Porn Queen:


Here're the only Decent pictures I'm 'allowed' to release of the Hens Nite Party:






Now the wedding is something else! Like true Kanchan style, she refuses to be lumped with the other pleibeians and she dances to her own rhythm- it was a small affair held at The Hangout @ Emily Hill and the stunning Bride arrived decked in celebratory hues of red and gold, looking oh-so-demure!




Another beautiful location- rustic in the day and exotic by night, the weather held out and we had a ball of a time, plus the catered Moghul Mahal spread was just right for the breezy evening. We were even entertained by a little dance number/skit performed by the Bride and Groom- now WHO do you know would do that on their wedding day?!






Here's a toast to my baby girl & partner in crime. You know we waited so long for this wedding and held our breath through that roller-coaster long-distance/short-distance/on-again/off-again relationship but YOU GUYS MADE IT!!! *wooooooooot*

Samir: Grrrrr!
Kanchan: Eeehehehehe....

*Now I await the official photographs. Watch this space for updates!
