~i'm a missus~

Yep, you can call me that now!!!

I'm officially MARRIED!!! and wearing it around my finger!  :)

More pics to come!

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.

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.

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!

  The water is amazingly cold. Just nice to dip in a sunny day!

  A higher end restaurant. Verdict. I cook better.

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 :)

Avril Lavigne-My World

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.

Simple weekend
