11 more days!!!
I was just scrolling to my old post on our registration and engagement night. I couldn't help but to smile along at all the photos my eyes laid on...
ahhh... sweet beautiful memories. I'm sure the upcoming one would be just the same.
J & I have finally confirmed the seats and plannings. *phew*
Its been a challenging journey, a lot of calls/plans and negotiations.. but i think it will be all worth it when the day comes.
Dad keeps reminding me to savor every moment as this is once in a lifetime event.
At some point, however, I do feel it was a pain in the ass. hahah..
Oh well... 11 more days to be exact!! then everything would be so worth it!
We'll be heading back to Ipoh this weekend to confirm payments, and make ups, hair styling, and all those girly stuff... and then back to KL to brief my bridesmaids on the program list.
J & I plan to have lots of balloons and flowers :) I think it'd be very nice to have a mix of fun and romantic set to it.
Theme remains purple, with slight touch of green and pink :)
Your thoughts?
I'm just getting ready for the events that fall during dinner. The guest book/slideshows/confettis
All is in place! woooosaaaah!!!

24th Birthday
My morning started with me announcing my birthday to my colleagues.
I walked up to my work desk, and called the person sitting at the end of the room; and I went "its my birthday today!"
Everyone else turned around, and smiled while shaking their heads.
In the end, that 'everyone' sent me a birthday greeting that morning. :)
#i'm awesome like that
Now that the birthday excitement is gone, here comes the wedding excitement.
1 month and 6 days to go!!!
J and I have made the final plannings, but just have to reconfirm the seats. Somehow people here don't really follow RSVP datelines..
Besides that, everything else is falling into place! Can't wait for the day to come, and be over with! :)

Bali - Seminyak
Josh and I took a small vacation down to Bali earlier this August.
We stayed in Favehotel. This is quite a new hotel compared to many there, but location wise is not appealing for beach goers.
Like us, the beach was all that mattered, but we had to get burnt slowly under the bright hot sun for 20 minutes before we reach the sands.
I must admit there are lots to see in that 20 minute walk.. These are the things that I captured along the way.
Bali in my eyes. The beach and shops.
Beach Beach surf Sun Sun!
![]()
The water is amazingly cold. Just nice to dip in a sunny day!
![]()
A higher end restaurant. Verdict. I cook better.
Trip organized by Dreamtrips
Art shop. I'd call it express service.
I got 2 paintings done here, a pug and Vitruve by Da Vinci
A local lady's portrait. I fell in love with the colors of this one. It was cheap, but I don't know where i'd hang it at home... its a little scary if I were to come down to my hall and see a face like that glowing in the dark. :S
Doing the final touches of my painting (costs 350 000 Rupiah ie. RM110)
I love this one! It doesn't look too flat like most pug paintings. This, is beautiful!I am going to frame it up and put it in my hallway :)
Some local snacks, cant remember what it is.
It had fried beancurd, tempeh and a some veg. drizzled with sweet peanut sauce.
It had fried beancurd, tempeh and a some veg. drizzled with sweet peanut sauce.
Very good.
Prepared right on the spot so the fried stuffs aren't soaked with the sauce.
Little monkey is the shops doorbell. It squeeks everytime a person passes through the door.
Smart way of attracting customers! I'm pretty sure an automatic alarm is cheaper than owning this monkey. haha
Local Nasi Padang. The dishes are stacked in bowls as you see. Displayed in a glass window.
Best way to eat like an indonesian. where the food is cheap and good.
The shop was so small, it could only fit 20 people the most.
The night life. Apparently, this club is for gays -___-
Beach Beach surf Sun Sun!
A souvenir i bought for myself.
Tote bag for RM15

When time keeps ticking..
..and the world keeps moving.
Life gets going,
Going gets tougher..
You forget how life is.
S.T.O.P
Take a deep breath and sit by the window, and just watch the world move.
I'm listening to my old high school days hits.
Brings me the memories of carefree life :)

Life.. is like a candle in the wind
It was like every other day on 22nd May for me. It was the usual 7 am work till 3.30 pm.
While on my way back from office, there were tonnes of things that were playing in my head. The Wedding. The House.
Which design should I choose for my wedding card; How is the house renovation going to be like, How I am going to earn more bucks to support all of this expenses, Should I have a better decor for the wedding
and it just keeps flowing in like a broken pipe.
I mean, everyone would want a perfect start as a newly wed. Who wouldn't, right? Even I think it sounds a little too much, while typing all of these, but you know, we just imagine.. and these ideas grows, and eventually we get carried away.. yadayadayada.. I know.
When I got home, I lay on my bed, with my Ipad, and messed around to get my mind off all of these. I was tired of thinking.
I turned on my Facebook page, and got a shock of my life.
Someone posted that one of my friend had passed away.
I was lost for words. I just sat there, and wondered... "What was wrong? She's just 24! A brilliant kid, a true friend and was never in the bad books!"
I told Josh that I was to attend her funeral, at least, to pay my last respects to her before she leaves.
I took an emergency leave, and left for Ipoh.
I hitched a ride with a fellow friend at midnight to headed back, only to reach at 1am.
We rushed to her house, and then it hit me.
Did I know this girl? This girl resting in her coffin, looked totally different.
I just sat there, thinking... what life is all about?
She studied hard, had big dreams, wanted to help her family out financially... She was all that.
But fate has it, she had cancer.
Breast cancer, which had spread to the uterus.
She was in pain for over 2 years.
What is life?
Now, every time I start thinking for the wedding preparations, I am constantly reminded to leave it simple.
All you have to thank for is the guest attending, and your family.
While you are still breathing, be thankful that you are here, with all your loved ones.
Life doesn't have to be all fairy tales.

Finally...
.. I have the time to record what has been happening for a month.
I know, the line 'I've been so busy' is getting a little more common in here, and also boring! *but* i must say, this time this sentence was not abused.
I have to admit that I am so proud of myself to be juggling this much of stuffs!
April was no joke!
It was just work and work for me.
There had been a reshuffling of staffs in my department, and I got a more challenging role.
My colleague (who has been there fore 3 years) got promoted to be our team lead.
So, someone had to take over his accounts, and that someone ended up to be me.
I had top dollar accounts in my hands, and cannot afford to screw up!
Being only in the company for 7 months, I have to prove that this was manageable..
While I was taking over his account, well, someone has to take over mine, right?
So, there was this other colleague, who is relatively new in our department to take over mine..
Since she was new, she had to get new software and access to make her laptop functional for this job. And this took a dreading 3 weeks.
In the meantime, we had to train her to familiarize with the system and how it works..
Apart from this, I had to also make sure both accounts were closely monitored.
At one point, I was dragging myself out of bed fearing that I forgot to follow up on something, and someone would call up complaining.
It was a stressful month!
If I only had that job to do, I wouldn't mind at all... but I had other things going on too!
# Edit: I hit my target for both accounts baby!! woo hoo!!
The house.
There is an endless list of issue with The House.
We finally got the keys! *hooray*
But.
The house was not how we last saw it.
It was leaking, and it was in a horrible state.
This House needed a major renovation.. *sigh*
More spending.
So there I was looking for a decent contractor... who'd do the job for the least price.
Even when the sound of the pricing sounded cheaper that the rest, I still cannot afford it, and have to apply for a loan.
And this will take an excruciating 2 weeks for approval.
On top of that,
I have The Wedding.
This sale person who took over my file for the wedding venue kept calling me to come back to Ipoh, just to verify a few things, and hand over the agreement.
She also kept wanting to know all final decisions of how the layout was to be like, the decor, and what to expect during that day...
For something that was 6 months away, I thought it could wait, but she said it'll come before you even know it.
Didn't sound like I had the choice, so I had to sit and decide on what was it that I wanted during the wedding...
After a week of hard thinking during showers, I came up with the whole plan, and let her know.
I got back to Ipoh yesterday, got things in order, and back to KL today.
The Dress
Mom and I took sometime yesterday to head to the bridal studios... I have been seeing a lot of wedding gowns online, but never really tried it to see if it fit well for my size (meaning short and slightly chubby)So we thought maybe we could just hop into a studio, try a few outfit just to give that drive to go on a diet!
ahahaha!
We went to just TWO bridal houses, and i found the dress!! *details undisclosed*
All I can say, it was still new, with tags, never been tried on, and was just put out on display the day before.. *melts*
After speaking to the salegirl, I found myself handing my credit card over, and got a receipt after.
So that looks like a confirmation for something that is 6 months away...
I hope it really reaches before i even know it, so i wont regret this.. hahaha
But all in all, I'm really glad. Everything is almost 50% sorted.
The Job.
The House.

Russell Peters In Malaysia 2012 Tickets - SOLD OUT
If you are a fan of Russell Peters, you'd know by now that their tickets went on sale this morning at 9 am.
I was one of the kiasu's who went after the tickets! it felt like there was a stretch of invisible wall around the damn site, cuz I COULDN'T GET IN!!!
'server busy' it says..phuh..
At one point I was so close to submitting my credit card details, and *poof* it went to 'server busy' mode.
my RM248 tickets just vanished.And when I tried again, no more tickets for that seating :(
I had to fork out extra, to get the RM 388 seats. sigh.
But oh well, its not always you get a chance to see the million dollar indian comedian!
It better be worth it.
In case you are wondering, tickets are all sold out - to what i think was, after 4 hours on sale.
This is a seating plan for your reference for the South gate:
(actually it is for my own reference la, coz I am sitting there)
Mudah.my or Ebay or Facebook marketplace to try your luck...
Cheerios!

My CLP (Cert. of Legal Practice) friends decided we should meet up after 6 months of everyone's disappearance. So I was the mastermind, and we met at Devi's Bangsar.
I last minute-ly bought a cake for my 2 buddies belated birthday after work.
And I was running late to buy them both a gift.
The only shop I pass to get home is a Grocery shop.
Me being a genius, I thought of something. A prank.
I got them each a Cucumber. :) something heavy, which they can't guess correctly - and at least something they could use to cook, or for a facial.
I got home, wrapped it with tissue, put them in a box, and sealed it with a birthday wrapper!
We had a good time chatting and eating, and it turned out even better when the girls opened their gift..
Piza & Cyn
guess how old they are
guess how old they are
Eagerly opening the presents
Piza, Cyn & Azlan
and the expression shows~
Piza doing her rounds to thank everyone
William & June at her sides
Cyn doing her motherly duties to ensure everyone gets a slice, and a ball (our private joke)
