A fantastic newcomer.

I love her voice,
very powerful indeed.

Oh and to all those
who celebrate Chinese New Year,
Happy Dragon Year to you all!

Have a wonderful holiday!

My first Yee Sang of 2012!

2012-01-20T00:00:00.000+08:00

Had Yee Sang and dinner 2 nights ago
at Restaurant Overseas, Jalan Imbi
with C, D & a very new friend.

Thanks to C for organising it. :)

I even just heard
my first CNY firecracker of 2012
right outside my front door!

---------------------------------------

I mentioned this right?

So sophisticated, elegant
and goddess-like.

If it wasn't be because
of the wedding,
I would be so going
to get my hair cut right now.

Fantastic job well done
by Sonia and JasonOoi.

Couldnt be more prouder
than anyone to be related
to you both.

Thanks for all the fun,
sweat and body sores! >_<

Unifi presents Moonlight Cinema!

2012-01-18T16:34:00.001+08:00

Thanks to the
special invitation by Unifi,
me and the fiancé
managed to ooze up
with a special moonlight INDOOR cinema
with home-made picnic!

I loved how they made it
looked like it was outdoor
but actually indoor style
so there were no mosquitoes
and enough sand to build sand castles!

Also the fact that,
we could bring in outside food
which my efforts fortunately
didnt go to waste!

Oh and it was air-conditioned too!

What a wonderful date night
after a very eventful
and dreadful week.

Thank you for bringing me there, MSG.HennWei.

Boyce Avenue

2012-01-13T22:58:00.002+08:00

Okay so im a lil slow
on the department of
finding Boyce Avenue
but better late than never.

This version is so beautiful.

Are you kidding me?!

2012-01-10T19:19:00.002+08:00

It feels like a routine.

I took out the white shirts
and black long pants
from my wardrobe.

Sitting in the dark,
in my living room hall.

Im so tired of crying
and all i feel like doing now
is just typing about it.

Its barely the second week of January 2012
or rather 6 months since my *last funeral*
and this has to be the lamest joke of all
because it so isnt fkin funny.

Yes, I know grandma's old
and I know she's been sick
but what upsets me most
is the fact how sad my dad is
as he's stuck in Hong Kong at the moment
and im unable to hug him
to give him any comfort.

The fact that im not mentally ready
and that we wanted to push the wedding earlier
just so we could have her at our big day,
is now no longer possible...

i hate this.

i honestly hate this.

ive yet to even recover
from the last one and now this?!

***

Ive got to chill.

The more im writing,
the more im feeling angrier
rather than sad.

Im gonna soak myself in a warm shower
and then turn to bed early tonight
for tomorrow's early wake...

Cameron Highlands in Pictures, Day 1.

2012-01-10T00:05:00.003+08:00

Too many pictures
to elaborate one by one
so ive narrowed them down.

Here are pictures
from my New Year's eve's trip
to Cameron Highlands with
my family and relatives
for a wonderful celebration!

Warning to those who have
slow internet connection. haha

My first marathon medal!

2012-01-09T00:00:00.004+08:00

Went for *Runfest 2012* yesterday
and ran my second marathon.

This time round i did 7km
and i swear i nearly died.

My *first marathon*
was a 5km run last June 2011
with Standard Chartered.

Free milo, free water
and even free nasi lemak! haha!

Well despite me ending up
having a fever after the marathon,
(im fkin weak i swear T_T meh.)
its still one of the best feeling
winning your first marathon medal.

What a great way to kick off 2012!

Chong Lee's Birthday

2012-01-08T23:17:00.004+08:00

Had a tiny 'unsuccessful' birthday surprise
for ChongLee last week
at Ben's General Food Store, Bangsar Village 1.

Its been a while
since ive properly socialised. :)

Sneak peak!

2012-01-07T16:15:00.005+08:00

Too damn cute.

A sneak peak of what my cousin, Neil
and my baby sister were up to
on New Year's Eve at Cameron Highlands.

This is just a sneak peak to a longer video! haha!

That romantic dance.

2012-01-06T00:49:00.004+08:00

I love how we've picked
the perfect wedding song to dance
our first dance together.

I love how when I played it,
you surprised me by asking
for my hand for a dance.

I loved it when we step
on each others' toes
while laughing and
twirling around in circles.

I also loved how you would kiss me
when we could already hardly balance
during the dance.

Sometimes, you make me feel so happy
and at times like these,
I feel like im the luckiest girl alive.

My perfect moment. :)

Flightless Bird, American Mouth

2012-01-04T15:57:00.003+08:00

The lyrics makes no sense
but its one of the most
beautiful tune that Ive
ever come across.

Sang by the talented, Iron & Wine.

***

I should be coming up with
my New Year Resolution
which i would coincidentally do it
every year.

Here's *2010*
and *2011*.

Still coming up with a list! Stay tuned!

Fred Perry Event

2012-01-03T09:28:00.003+08:00

A short picture post
because the stock market is dead.

Had a little too much fun
at last month's Fred Perry event.

With Twilight ActionGirl, OJ Law,
DJ Bunga and many more.

The fiancé drew the background by the way.

Is it 2012 already?!

2012-01-02T22:39:00.013+08:00

The day i woke up to 2012
just didnt seem like a day different at all
from all the previous New Year's eve ive had.

I was hidding away with family
and loved ones in Cameron Highlands for 2 nights,
which was massively jammed by the way.

Ive loved 2011.

It was the year that so many
of my dreams came true.

1) I finally did my *LASIK* so im no longer blind.
(which brings me to another grateful thing,
that the surgery was a success and I have
good eyesights now.)

2) After struggling for nearly 2 years,
I got the career of my dreams... and then i quit again haha.

3) I got *engaged* to the man of my dreams.

Those are the top 3 of my 2011 list,
although I would say there were so much
drama and happiness in 2011
that made me a much better person.

Like i did an adoption this year,
to a 3 year old *toddler* in India,
did my first *marathon*
and passed my exams to be a
double-licensed holder for Futures and Equities.

Also me and the fiancé's relationship grew.

We had a better understanding
of loyalty, trust and love.

I also started working out
and also started reading books again
after a long due of absence.

Just a couple of days ago,
I suddenly remembered I had another
personal blog on Vox,
which was something i wrote on to
when I have absolutely no where to pour out to
as this blog got too commercialised.

I havent had to log on to that blog
for a year now and that shows a huge
improvement on the level of happiness in my life.

I have wonderful friends,
a loving family,
a beautiful own place to stay,
hopefully that dream job of mine to come
and the gorgeous soon-to-be husband of mine.

What more can I ask?

Of course there were the sad times
like the first time I had to experience
a *death* in my family
and then there was the 24-hour shift
for 8 months in my career experience.

Im glad it builds to make me
who i am for 2012.

After all like the saying goes,
what doesnt kill you would
only make you stronger.

Cheers to 2012!

Happy Christmas!

2011-12-27T17:53:00.003+08:00

The sister was such in a
Christmas spirit this year
as she dragged me to the manicurist
to get our Christmas-themed nails. -_-

The sister's nails.

My candy-cane-theme
french manicure!

And this was what i got
on the eve of Christmas Day...

Its no Tiffany & Co
but the boy still knows how
to come up with creative and customed gifts
after 5 years,7 months and 16 days. haha

Literally. :)

So ive been long gone...

2011-12-23T18:07:00.001+08:00

I can explain.

First,
I havent been able
to walk.

Second I havent been able
to wear pretty heels. :(

Tore my toe nail a few days ago
and it was bleeding so much
that i panicked-called the fiance
while crying.

Poor boy rushed back from work
just to pick me up to the clinic.

I swear just when i wanted
to start my 3 hour, 4 day a week
workout in the gym,
this had to happen.

Cant say its a bad fate. ;p

Bridal Glitz - MIFW 2011

2011-12-15T11:30:00.006+08:00

Okay long absent and ive absolutely
no excuses for this haha.

I had the biggest honour
of attending the Bridal Glitz
by MIFW 2011 late last month,
thanks to Vilynn who made this possible. :)

Sorry for the very
unprofessional shots
from my iPhone 4.

This blogger better get
a nicer camera before her US trip
next year man. T_T haha geez.

***

Also went for the Bridal stock clearance
at the Wedding Hub to check out some ideas
and nearly got sucked into buying a beautiful
wedding dress that was almost at 60% off!

I guess the idea of my wedding dress
would almost be exactly like this one
but more .... exaggerated
and my wedding planner knows that
so she convinced me to not get it
at the moment.

I hope she's right
because giving up a 60% discount
is wayyyyy too painful! haha!

----------------------------------------

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

As recommended by PP,
this song is just so beautiful.

Curling away with a book.

2011-12-07T19:22:00.002+08:00

Ive found some loving
in some books lately
and have been constantly
curling up in bed
hiding away from sunlight.

So here's one for you first
that is just too catchy not to share. ;)

'Twilight' Movie Marathon.

2011-12-04T23:02:00.004+08:00

Bruno Mars with his latest, 'It Will Rain'
which is the soundtrack from the latest
'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I'.

Okay i know im super late
but i have to admit
i have been doing a 'Twilight' marathon
and whoever that says its a sucky movie,
has definitely not given it a chance.

I dragged the fiance to the movies today
to watch Breaking Dawn Part I
and he's so astonished that
it wasnt as bad as what he thought it was.

And this song,
is just so perfect.

Edward and Bella just reminds me
of the 'Meteor Garden' story lines,
well except that he's a vampire
but the fact how much a guy is willing
to sacrifice for the person he loves
is just so extraordinary.

Call it cheesy,
but deep down i know
every single girl wants that
and it really touches me that way.

So if you havent really given
'Twilight' a chance, you really should.

I cant wait...

2011-12-03T18:07:00.002+08:00

... for tomorrow's bridal gown shopping trip!
... to go to San Francisco and Las Vegas this coming May!
... to start work again!
... to start studying again!
... to be Mrs. Sah. :)

Wedding Nightmares.

2011-12-01T11:18:00.005+08:00

Im stressing about trying to persuade
ideas to people or rather taking
too many new ideas from
overly eager "wedding planners".

And maybe its because ive been
reading wayyy too many wedding blogs
and wedding magazines that
im turning inside out with the amount
of ideas i would wish to put in my wedding T_T

Im so stressed out that
im having nightmares in my sleep.

I hate this. :(

-------------------------------------------------

Back to Singapore II

Related post: *Part 1*

Since half of day 1
were spent with family,
I had day 2 with as many friends
as i can squeeze till my midnight flight.

Lunch with the ex-housemates.

The lovely Maneesiam, MiniMel, Yenni and Novi.

Of course including Jyesta (who is visiting from Shanghai),
Randy, AlcoK (with Zach) and AvatarPhil (who obediently tagged along hehe).

I miss the Sembawang crew. :(

PS: Pictures stolen from here, there and everywhere haha because this "blogger" has no camera. wtf. HAHA

Sister's Graduation @ Singapore

2011-11-30T16:15:00.004+08:00

Proud parents!

My sister finally had
the graduation she never had
as she missed her original one
in Australia last April.

Even though most of her friends
have already had their convocation
in Newcastle, Australia,
im glad she had a second chance
to do so in Singapore after
personally invited by the University.

Im so proud of you, baby sis! :)

Back to Singapore I

2011-11-29T21:00:00.007+08:00

So 2 weekends ago,
I finally went back to Singapore
for a short 2D1N stay
after my 1 year absent from my 3rd home.

My aunt had recently moved to
her very expensive and very resort-like home
that is absolutely breath-taking.

The land has 1 main house, 1 guest house,
a gazebo, a fish pond and of course
the visible swimming pool from the picture above.

Dinner by the pool!

And here are pictures
from the rest of the place.

Pictures from the Main House:

Pictures of/ from the Guest House:

What a beautiful view
to wake up to.

And of course the pool:

I love how the pool tile colours collides.

So beautiful,
so relaxing.

More later.

Wedding Planning!

2011-11-29T20:39:00.003+08:00

So i havent exactly been
lazying about with unemployment
looming over my head.

Ive been super hardworking
looking for the perfect
wedding venue with my wedding planner, Sarah.

I never ever like organising events
or rather hosting any
and I will admit my wedding is no different
even though i want it to be
the most beautiful and memorable one
there is... with me being the star of the night!

I mean c'mon, who wouldnt? haha

That's why i have Sarah. ;p

So many to choose from!

Budgets, location,
packages that they provide.

It's either the hall,
the location, the name, the price
or the things they don't provide.

Leaving me so difficult to decide -_-

And we are not even done yet!

My lovely soon-to-be groom
had bought me a little notebook
so i can do scribbles on it
when i find something new to add.

You can clearly tell who is the more
professional artist from the drawings. T_T

Baking Class with GC!

2011-11-28T01:21:00.000+08:00

So before GC left the company,
we both bought coupons for a baking class
with *Groupon Malaysia*
at *At 19 Culinary Studio*, Damansara Heights.

Our teacher for the day, Anand.

Look at Smurfette Chef go! hoho!

Our team hard at work!

Yay!

While waiting for our buns
to be baked!

Not to brag
but they were really smurflicious!

Now if only i could
recreate them again
without my teacher with me...... haha!

Thank you.

2011-11-26T12:34:00.003+08:00

Breakfast at Jarrods & Rawlins
with my favourite art director.

Thank you for spending the morning with me
because i know you work 6 days a week,
and have to split your free time
with your friends, family and me.

Thank you. <3

My Christmas Wishlist.

2011-11-23T11:38:00.003+08:00

Christmas isnt too far away
and thinking about all the things
i would like to do and have for Christmas/ New Year's
makes me feel like doing a short list.

1) Dior Earrings- RM2,800

I found the most gorgeous teardrop
mother of pearl earrings from Christian Dior
yesterday when i was in Starhill
and instantly fell in love with it.

It will go perfectly well with my wedding gown.
(although i havent picked one out out yet haha)

2) Placement in Nepal -RM4,000 approx

Ive wanted to do this for a very long time
and in fact i wanted to do it this month
but there were no immediate response
from the monastery there.

Now that ive found more options,
it has become too late and I honestly hope
I would be able to do this next November (2012)
as its a vow ive always dreamed to fulfill.

3) Complete CFA Level 1 - Price unknown

Since my first attempt of the CFA
ended up in failure due to my lack of attention
from the 3 jumps of banks in my career
and since ive moved out from my parents' house,
ive always wanted to get back in there
to work hard and finish that first paper.

However due to work stress
and double shifts at my previous job,
i was unable to find time to do so
and i honestly hope i would be able to do that
this coming June 2012 or Dec 2012.

4) My next employment.

Ive been pretty stressed out
on settling my next employment stuffs.

A lot of things were delayed
and I had to sacrifice a lot of things
to fit into the current situation.

I just hope all goes well by next week
with what Ive asked for.

***

Let me introduce to you... my daughter.

Thanks to *World Vision Malaysia*,
i was able to adopt a beautiful
baby Indian girl.

I would really love to go visit her
but unfortunately there are terms
that we are unable to do so.

About 2 weeks ago,
she wrote to me.

Okay not literally.

She's only 3 and she cant write yet.

So they sent an art work she did
of her handprint helped by her
biological mother.

And to my surprise,
the letter was authentic
and not like some other organisation
that just photocopies the letters
to the sponsors.

For those who are interested to adopt,
please visit *World Vision Malaysia*
or for international at *World Vision International*.

And when im employed again,
im really considering on having
an adopted son. :)

KetiakWayne

2011-11-23T10:17:00.003+08:00

I know you dont like
the nickname ive given you
but everyone deserves a nickname
on my blog that represents
my first impression of the person haha!

Thank you for the gorgeous *blog post*,
and im glad you have found
a career that suits you.

Will see you guys again pretty soon! :)

Heneassy Artistry/ Jo and My Farewell

2011-11-22T23:26:00.006+08:00

Its been a long time
since ive actually enjoyed
a clubbing night out
even if they played slow Chinese songs
at a huge clubbing event like this T_T

Im already missing the lot
like crazy. :(

Thanks Juls for the pictures
and C for the tickets.

The life of a 'Tai Tai'

2011-11-21T09:30:00.003+08:00

Funny how ive never really taken
a break from the market.

It sucks big time
that im still waking up early
from the anxiety of the market
and running errands from
one end of Selangor to another.

Who said unemployment was boring?!

The fiance made sure
i have my daily dose of
tv series to follow as well
downloaded into my laptop
but i havent found the time to watch them!

Ive got loads of pictures to share
but im so lazy to get them posted
so im gonna spend today in bed
with mum's homecooked which i brought home
and my tv drama series.

Will post some photos real soon!
(when i run out of shows to watch haha!)

Off to Singapore!

2011-11-17T09:07:00.002+08:00

Its been too long
since ive stepped foot into
my 3rd home, sunny Singapore
or rather since ive flew out
of this country.

Financial independence from my parents
makes me feel so useless and different
from my old jet-setting lifestyle.

Sometimes its just so hard to take in
that i cant do all of those things anymore.

For now,
ive only got a short trip
to sunny Singapore
and to squeeze everyone in!

I cant wait to see all of you, Singaporeans! :D

The one that got away.

2011-11-09T22:16:00.002+08:00

Woah Woah Woah~~~!

A good song by Katy Perry
finally after E.T.

Absolutely love it.

The Rock that I've been waiting for.

2011-11-06T11:21:00.005+08:00

After 6 months of waiting,
the boy surprised me with a
custom made engagement ring with cupcakes (!!!)
which I really never suspected at all!

Spot the ring box!

Sister behind the camera.

And he went down on one knee
at my parents place haha!

Gone were the days.

2011-11-05T05:08:00.005+08:00

I remember those days
back in England when i couldnt sleep,
I would type it all out
whatever i had in my mind
onto this little blog.

Now I would think hard and long
on what to share here.

Life isnt that boring
but more like it being content.

With my days being limited now
at my current work place,
im starting to feel nostalgic already
and Im really hoping my new place
would be a huge improvement
to where I was from.

My relationship is still blossoming
every single day even after more than 5 years
and I couldnt ask for a more
wonderful companion. :)

New goals have been set
to my new soon-to-be work place
and im actually fairly excited.

Im only going to deeply miss
the wonderful friends ive made
over the past 1 and a half years
at my current work place. :)

So maybe coming back to Malaysia
isnt half bad after all,
although i must admit i still desire
to move overseas for work.

Ahhh.

Life is such an amazing journey.

For now,
Im just glad Airasia has given us
an opportunity for a "Credit Shell" option
to our Bangkok flood situation
and also im making a short 2D1N trip
to my 3rd home, Sunny Singapore
in the mid of November for my sister's convocation.

I need to go travel more yo!

------------------------------------------------

Absolutely Beautiful from Head to Toe

I super super love.

I can imagine myself
wearing this Chloe Resort 2012 dress
and the gorgeous two-toned Channel pumps
are to die for.

Now if only i could work myself
to have her body. haha

My puppy loves to suntan.

2011-11-01T21:35:00.004+08:00

Those who have followed my blog
years ago would know,
my 7 year old puppy loves to suntan.

Heres a gorgeous picture of him
lying next to a flower. haha!

Ok folks!

Im off to Melacca
for a daytrip tomorrow!

See ya!

Fit or Fits?

2011-10-31T20:12:00.003+08:00

Me: Ive decided that from the 1st of November, im gonna start a new diet and exercise! Watch me! Im gonna be so fit! *smugs*
Him: Did you say 'fit' or 'fits'? *Laughs out loud*
Me: T______________T""

----------------------------------------------

Music has a new name - Adele

Absolutely gorgeous.
Absolutely talented.

As much as I miss it.

2011-10-27T21:11:00.005+08:00

As much as I miss my old life
with all the alcohol, boys
and parties...

I would definitely not
want to switch my current life
for any of those.

One of my girl crushes, Carey Mulligan.

2011-10-26T21:48:00.007+08:00

Absolutely flawless.

God Dammit.

She's making me want
short hair all over again.

------------------------------------------------

Mr. Saxobeat!

Was listening to this
at 730am on a Tuesday morning
and thought to myself,
'crap i miss clubbing.'

T_T

Too early in the damn morning
to feel this nostalgic haha.

Parents meet up!

2011-10-26T17:47:00.004+08:00

Okay so both of us
were worried on so many levels
that the dinner would go wrong.

'What if there was nothing to talk about?'
'What if they didnt like each other?'
'What if one of them offended each other?'
'Will this be super awkward?'

And i was freaking out
about half an hour
to the dinner. T_T

But everything went well as planned
and there was just really nothing
to worry about.

We didnt even have to bring out
our 'Topics To Talk About' cards! haha!

Ahhh.
What a beautiful picture.

------------------------------------------------

Reminding myself.

As much as it kills me to leave
all my wonderful colleagues behind,
i swear i never ever agreeing to do
both day and night shift again
at my next job.

Im officially expressing my hatred
towards people who overwork their employees.

Aih.

Where to start?

2011-10-22T09:23:00.003+08:00

Ok i know its been a while
but its freaking difficult
just trying to exit a bank.

Ive been letting down
wayyy too many people these few weeks
and those who are always so kind to me.

I cant seem to be able to communicate
with my friends on these matter
because honestly its something ive to go thru
myself rather than any advice given
that is able to make me feel better...

Plus to admit that this
has been the best place
ive ever worked so far,
is killing me having to decide
to leave all of them.

Funny how vaguely ive to word
all my sentences so this 'personal' blog
wont become a political issue.

Aih. Thats a corporate life i suppose.

L-R: KBL, Me, GC

At El Cerdo, Changkat
last night for drinks and dinner.

I hate to admit this
but i really feel like crying.

Despite all the yelling at work,
im so freaking gonna miss her.

Happy Things #3

Philip is home!

Holes Inside- Joe Brooks

2011-10-06T22:30:00.002+08:00

Love love love!
Spot the shark! HAHA

Secrets.

2011-10-01T09:50:00.003+08:00

Its scary how small
this industry really is
and how people talk.

Thats how insiders trading
really come about
and it can become freaking scary.

Its enough that the blogging world
already gossips as much as it is,
now this banking industry.

For now im keeping a low profile
and spend more time travelling
and spending time with family. :)

More later.

Happy Things #2

2011-09-25T22:02:00.002+08:00

Okay so the cut isnt exactly
the happy thing i was referring to
or rather my favourite cup that fell
and shattered that gave me this cut
but its the story after this.

The picture really does no justice
to the pain i had to endure.

But the happy thing to this story
was that the boy carried me away
from the broken glasses
and started clearing up the bigger
pieces before vacuuming the rest
as i watch him from my bed.

After clearing up the broken pieces,
he went on to wash my wound
and plastered a band aid for me.

I swear he still makes my heart melt
and just never fails to make me smile
after so many years. :)

Unnecessary.

2011-09-24T18:20:00.006+08:00

Theres just too many things to blog about
about how torn i am with my life
between good and bad.

How im constantly never happy
with what i have and how
i always compare with others,
be it career, success, lifestyle,
relationships or earnings.

I just work hard
and sometimes i wonder
why i do die trying.

Heard some horrible things
about someone i love today
and i choose to turn away.

Thats it.

Im going to make an effort
to shut off negative comments
and keep improving on my life.

And now that i have SarahSim
to help me with my wedding plans
i can actually fill my time
instead of unnecessary thoughts.

--------------------------------------------

Happy Things #1

Have decided to come out
with this little corner/ post/ whatever(haha)
to remind me of the little things in life
that puts a smile on my face.

This is today's first post!

A 4GB Smurf Thumbdrive!

Hehe.
Love love!

The Edge - Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Rat Race 2011

2011-09-20T22:54:00.002+08:00

Some photos i would like to share.

Last picture stolen from Datin Joanne haha

AmBank is so proud of you both,
Cfoong and Julia!

----------------------------------------------

Falling into place.

I love how things are
falling into places
for me and the boy.

I also love how we found
a new hobby together,
that is to watch the boy play
his video games till 4 in the morning. T_T

Finally, this is Korea. Part III

Next, N Seoul Tower!

Even the rainy season
couldnt dampen our spirits!

A must place to visit
especially for couples. :)

Locks are to represent
the love in a relationship
and the keys are to be thrown away
so no one will be able to pick up
and unlock it.

So in a way,
couples are wishing for
an eternal love.

One of the best and romantic night
we had during our Korea trip.

---------------------------------------

Songs with meanings.

Here are two gorgeous songs
which i can strongly relate to
from the beautiful Beyonce.

Damnnn, just watching her dance
makes me feel like getting
on my toes. O_o

Atelier Versace Fall 2011

2011-09-13T23:00:00.003+08:00

So beautiful it makes me cry
because i cant afford them. T_T

Here are just some of my favourites:

Ive been rather blessed
with my "last minute" luck
and I think i deserve to promise myself
to be able to afford one of these
in the near future! hehe.

Too darn beautiful!

Clubbing Virgin.

2011-09-13T22:14:00.003+08:00

Okay so i havent gone clubbing
since almost forever,
it almost seems that ive gone back
to being a clubbing virgin.

I havent been to Zouk KL
for nearly 3 years now
and had my first chance after
such a long time last Friday.

I called up a friend of mine
who was there literally every week
to meet up.

"Hey! I'll be going to Zouk tonight!"
"Nice! Which room will you be in?"
"Room? How many rooms are there? Goodness I havent been to Zouk for 2-3 years now!"
"WELL! Married people are like that!"

Bloody hell. T_T

HAHAHA

Selamat Hari Raya!

2011-09-08T22:17:00.003+08:00

Finally tried the famous 'Rainbow Cake'
everyone has been talking about!

Verdict: Its just a cake. -_-

L-R: Me, Couz sis, Syaza, baby sis and mama smurf.

Dont ask me why im hunching
and smiling like that. haha

Look who's secretly
enjoying his desert!

HAHA

Me.

2011-09-04T22:58:00.003+08:00

There are a lot of emotions
pouring through me right now.

Thinking about how quickly
2011 has come and almost gone,
shows how ive lived everyday
not appreciating people i enjoy
being with and which i love.

*Hm ive seemed to have wondered off in between*

Anyhow, with trying my best
not to be super anti-social,
and at the same time family comes first,
im coming out of my comfort zone again
and i need to start keeping touch
to not keep all ends loose.

Ive been focusing wayyyy too much
on trying to be independent
and ambitious that ive forgotten
how fast time flies or
to be happy for the matter of fact.

Im gonna reassess my life after im done
serving my 3 months
and pick up the pieces from what
ive left off from my university days.

Which brings me to the question
a lot of people ask me,
"Do you still have time to even blog?"

Honestly.
I dont.

But its something i love doing
like a creative piece of art
or a journal that ive put together.

Its not the best of the best
but its mine and im gonna be here
for a very long time. :)

Thanks for those
who have stuck by *PinkSmurf.com*,
you've no idea how awesome it feels
to have readers like you. :)

Lots of loves.

Cuff-links, for me?

2011-09-03T11:21:00.004+08:00

Came to the office
to see this sitting in my office chair.

Okay there was a reason why
JOTT bought me this. haha

The colleagues were talking about
Justin Bieber and Usher collaborating
and how Usher made Justin Bieber famous.

Me being super blur
and was half listening
to the conversation said:

"Huh? What are you guys talking about me?"

JOTT: You? We were talking about Usher.
Me: OH! *shyness* I thought you meant 'Ah Sher'. T_T

Everyone started laughing at me.

Okay so the end
of story embarrassing no. #104850383. -_-

And so now im stuck with cuff-links
which JOTT bought that reminded him
of me while he was shopping
and ive a wardrobe malfunction on what
to wear it with haha!

Hm.
I need to buy some men clothes now.

Working on a public holiday

2011-09-01T14:11:00.002+08:00

Its times like this that reminds me
im so glad ive resigned.

Oh yes I have.

Im done working till midnight
and im definitely done working
on a damn public holiday.

Right now,
im serving my 3 months
and then im doing some travelling first.

Which right now,
is starting to worry me
with the amount of travelling
im about to do in the next 6 months (starting November),
I might not have the money! haha!

Ah.
But im really looking forward
to a peaceful day without stress.

Or maybe i should consider
applying for a "Tai Tai" (high class housewife)
position with MSG.HennWei. heehee. ;p

Finally, this is Korea. Part II

2011-08-29T19:39:00.006+08:00

Related posts:*Finally, this is Korea. Part I*

Just our luck.

It was literally raining everyday
in Korea but we managed
to visit Changdeokgung palace!

A definitely must see!

McDs! Finally some real food! haha!

It is a must for us to try out
every country's McDonald's. :)

Okay more later.

Its dinner time! hehe

-------------------------------

Next 2 you.

To you-know-who,

Thanks for always being
the best and always being there
for me even though
you're always constantly late. T_T haha

It feels like University again.

2011-08-28T10:00:00.003+08:00

12.11am Friday night. *phone rings*

Me: Hello?
AnimeAde: Sher! Are you sleeping??
Me: Ade?! I was going to. What's up?
AnimeAde: Wanna go clubbing? Vi-lynn just rang me up to go Zouk now!
Me: Now?! But its 12:12am! HAHA
AnimeAde: Hm. Yeah I guess if by the time we get ready and get to Zouk, it would be 1am.
Me: HAHA Yes I dont live next door now babe and the clubs aint walking distance.
AnimeAde: Oh well. I guess next time then.

My god.
Total nostalgia. HAHAHA

Which reminds me I havent been clubbing
since late last year.

Probably its time
to test those waters again.

-----------------------------------------

Finally, this is Korea. Part I

HAHA

I figured I should really
get this out before I start travelling again.

So this is our first trip as an engaged couple
and although the weather didnt exactly
coincide with us,
but it was just beautiful. :)

Okay I just realise
the pictures i picked to edit
all looked like a damn
Korean eating frenzy haha

More later!

Love you like a love song.

2011-08-26T20:31:00.002+08:00

The fiancé thinks the lyrics doesnt make sense
but i absolutely love it! haha!

Bloody hooked onto it!

Taking a new turn

2011-08-24T23:23:00.002+08:00

Suddenly I realised this just
isnt for me.

Im still figuring things out
and hopefully everything will work out.

"Smart guys learn from their mistakes,
but wise men learn from the mistakes of others."

8th month of 2011

2011-08-15T19:44:00.004+08:00

Can you believe that its almost
the end of 2011?

The new year that I thought would be great?
The new year that I thought everything would
be going smoothly for me?

What happened?
Where did all my time go?
What have I achieved this year?

The only great thing
to look forward to is planning
my travel itinerary for 2012.

Mannn, im super packed up
till Oct/ Nov 2012 already!

Crap. That means more cash outflow. -_-
Better save now!

And also for the wedding. T_T
Geez...

----------------------------------------------

Here's something to match the mood

Its going to be a difficult 2 weeks.

2011-08-14T21:28:00.002+08:00

Its going to be a challenging
2 weeks ahead and Im mentally preparing
myself for any outcome.

On a random thought today,
I really miss having to walk through
the cold morning in England
on a Sunday with AnimeAde to *church*.

I am Buddhist
but theres just something
about their songs that are so soothing
plus the ancient cathedral ambiance
that makes it so calm and relaxing.

Standard Chartered Marathon 2011

2011-08-13T08:56:00.003+08:00

Super belated
but its an experience I HAVE
to blog about!

So its my first marathon.

I tore both my ligaments
at a very young age
and have never got the chance
to experience a marathon
after quitting sports entirely.

So thats why *Broga Hill*
was such an experience for me.
(Although i did embarrassingly threw up
twice close to the peak. -_-)

Anyway so got inspired to run
for this year's Standard Chartered Marathon
and since it was my first,
I dragged the fiancé to join me
at the 5km fun run HAHA

We took the train.

Didnt want to get stuck
driving in or out of the place!

But omg i swear I ran/ walked
in total of not 5km but close to 9km (!)
just to get to the starting line and back. T_T

Stopping for water break
after 3.5-4.0 km? haha

Excuse the no make up
and tired looking face. HAHA

With HY who ran
the 10km marathon.

Me: OMG! We have our own certificates! Come HY, take out your cert and lets take a picture together!
HY: Erm. I didnt get a cert...
Me: Huh?! Are you serious? Hm *beams proudly to self's achievement* okay erm never mind...
HY:... but i did get a medal.
Me: ... wtf. T_T

Geeez.
Show off HAHA.

I know its been a while.

2011-08-11T21:43:00.006+08:00

Im trying really hard to focus
on something at the moment
so time is what i really need
and patience.

Here are some photos first
that are just too nice
not to share at a recent
company function at Raja Chulan Hotel. :)

Zee and Carolyn

Carolyn and JOTT

Dont know where i was looking. -_- haha

I just realise Carolyn
is in all my photos haha!

Time to move on.

2011-08-02T21:55:00.003+08:00

You know it takes just
that one person or one event
to change your life, your views,
your opinions and your decisions.

I feel like ive been scarred for life
remembering the funeral over a hundred times
and being so dehydrated from crying.

It also opens up your eyes to see
the people who honestly cares about you,
the true friends who stuck by you
just to hear you whine.

The worse of all is the regret
of not appreciating and meeting the person more
just because 'we're too busy' is making me feel
like i should be doing more things
that benefits other people.

I never really believe
time actually heals.

I only think it leaves a deep scar
and you learn a moral from the situation
to take it with you forever.

Time to make some changes in my life.

---------------------------------------

Gorgeous number by Maroon 5

Just read the lyrics
it makes you feel all soft up inside.

Grandpa.

2011-07-28T10:34:00.003+08:00

Ive been sitting here for 15 mins.

Thinking of what's best to describe
my feelings right now.

The thing is i know plenty would think,
'Its your grandfather, how close can you be?'

Yes. I admit we have drifted
ever since he gotten sick,
lost weight and started to stop talking.

We would use sign languages instead
unless he wants his cigarette,
then he calls out for it. -_-

People dont know,
how close my family is
on my mother's side of the family
and to see her brothers cry uncontrollably
while crawling to their father's coffin,
is so heartbreaking that no one can endure.

Its me and my sister's
first death experience in a family...
and right now mum is refusing to talk
much to any of us
so im a lil afraid of how things are
when we get back home to Subang.

Now come to think of it,
luckily i dont stay with them anymore
or i cant imagine having the whole house being
so solemn and sad...

For now,
im actually enjoying the late nights shifts
to look after the candles.
(Chinese believes to always have the candles
lit for a path of those that has passed)

It's my only last 5 days with him...

All too smurfy!

2011-07-27T11:08:00.001+08:00

Katy Perry at the world premier
of The Smurfs 3D.

Looks like she's all in character
after donning her voice for the Smurfette
in the movie.

Even her nails are all smurfed up!
Too darn cute!

(I cant think of a title right now)

2011-07-23T12:32:00.005+08:00

I have never had someone related to me pass away
so the idea really scares me
when i think that the situation would times 10x
from my last previous *encounter*.

Please get well soon, Grandpa...

Happy Birthday Baby Sis!

2011-07-20T19:32:00.002+08:00

Im sorry we cant be home
to have dinner with you
but take it as I.O.U. ok?

So proud of how far you've come
to work so hard to be successful
and even to be working tonight!

Happy birthday again baby sis
and I'll see you soon!

A whole belated chunk!

2011-07-19T21:43:00.004+08:00

Wahliao.

Was going thru my folders
and realised there were a bunch
of edited photos that I have yet
to post them up here.

Gonna make one last stop at Myeongdong later
for more shopping and a dose
of Korean BBQ for lunch.

Can we please not leave here? :(

Dear Snuffles,

2011-07-11T21:22:00.003+08:00

You're nearly 6 years old
yet you're still like a baby.

Papa smurf never lets you play
on the couches but yet
its your fave place to lay.

Dear Snuffles,

It has been a week since Wiggles has gone
and I know deep down you actually miss her,
just like all of us do...

Dear Snuffles,

It's so hard being away from you
and I miss you so much when I see
your pictures.

I promise I'll come see you more often
when I can, okay? :)

The New Queen of Singapore

Related Posts: *Miss Singapore Universe 2011*

We first encouraged her in 2008
because we knew... and we just knew (!!!)
she would have been the perfect queen
(without a doubt) for Singapore.

Unfortunately due to unfair judgement
and politics back in 2008,
things didnt go as planned
but that has never stopped her
or put her down in any way.

Just looking at this gorgeous picture of you
makes me feel like crying out of joy.

Im so proud of you girl
and although im suppose to be supporting
my own country (haha)
but im sure you'll still do me
equally as proud haha!

All the best
and Congratulations!

Bits and Pieces of Chiang Mai - Part III

2011-07-10T11:42:00.002+08:00

The highlight of the trip!

Can you believe an elephant drew this??
It was freaking amazing!

And yes...

Im the successful bidder for
the beautiful potrait. haha!

Suda is the "artist"
who actually signed my picture as well! HAHA

I just had to man! heehee

Oh and of course not forgetting!

Its freaking hilarious
to see Elephant "disco"!

They really enjoy the music!
Literally "feng tao" man! HAHA!

And finally our final night....

A surprise birthday cake
and wonderful traditional performances
during our final dinner night.

Waiting for our flight back to KL.
Excuse the no-make-up face hehe.

-----------------------------------------------

Bruno Mars = The New Barry White

Another beautiful one
from the man.

Just love the beautiful twists
in his voice. :)

This is how its going to work.

2011-07-09T10:41:00.002+08:00

I cant believe it already July.
Its crazy how fast time flies.

Ive so many things lined up for July.

1)Watch Transformer
2)Watch Monte Carlo

ok yes i havent seen them
but no they arent the important things
lined up for me. HAHA

So ive decided to take charge of my life.

So for July:

1) Pick up the ROM forms
2) Pick up the Arsenal tickets
3) Meet up with my new broker
4) Cancel our old internet subscription
5) Pick up stuff we need for Korea from my uncle
6) Zumba party!
7) Company masquerade dinner

Im flying off to Korea on Tuesday
and ive got all of the above to be done
before we fly off, which the damn riot
isnt helping me run my errands any easier!

Instead im stuck at home
and this suck big time.

Im sorry i havent been avid blogger lately
and ive missed just sitting here
ranting out at the screen
and updating what's been going on
with my life.

In fact, there's so much going on,
I actually dont remember things that has happened
so by the time i come home,
I not only dont remember but also
im tired or I need to work the night shift
and it kills me completely.

Ok last one in Chiangmai
coming right up!

Need to get the belated ones
out of the way before the new ones
come into place. haha

Okay. Shower first! heh

God, I love silver linings.

2011-07-08T00:02:00.000+08:00

Got this in the mail today.

After everything that ive gone thru today,
this really brightens it up.

Thank you, *FashionValet*.

------------------------------------------

All I can say is.

Im so done with your crap.
Im so done with you.

Bits and Pieces of Chiang Mai - Part II

2011-07-04T19:46:00.002+08:00

More bits and pieces
and the final bit to come soon. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------

An Anniversary.

Ive officially broken the record
for staying more than a year in a company.

In fact its been a year and 2 months now. :)

Truth is, i love what im doing
but things isnt exactly pointing to
career enhancement for me lately.

Im deeply sadden about things
that ive been lied to
and i cant seem to have
that enthusiastic energy anymore.

Im so demotivated
and lost in what im suppose to be doing.

Plus ROM preparations (and not even the main bits yet!)
are already exhausting and
agreements on the reception are so overwhelming
that i broke down yesterday.

I just couldnt take the pressure.

I need more days like today
so i could sleep in more,
laze, watch videos and blog.

Aih, if only money grew on trees...

2011-06-30T18:11:00.001+08:00

Too tired and cranky.

This night shift thing
is really getting to my mood
and is making me have migraines. :(

Will try to blog over the weekends later.

Miss Singapore Universe 2011

2011-06-24T19:07:00.009+08:00

Had wanted to blog this for a while now
so babe, this is for you. :)

The finalist for Miss Singapore Universe 2011.

Of course my girl, FreakingTallVal
is the most outstanding one of them all.

Not only she's the tallest (1.79m !!!)
and definitely the prettiest
but she is also one of the smartest
girlfriend that I have ever known.

Ive always admired her
for her courage to pick a career
to help disable children as a fulltime job.

And yes, I know how hard
it is to work with *children* -_-

Just wanna say how proud
I am of you, sweetheart
and I know you will do us
all proud. :)

God ive missed you and *Singapore*! :(

-------------------------------------------

Happy Birthday Carolyn!

You're the sweetest
and most charming girl I know
and Im sure you'll be able
to achieve your dreams
in the very near future :)

Hope you will be
having fun tonight!

Oh and also happy birthday
to Cal Vin and ChrisLHY!

Bits and Pieces of Chiang Mai - Part I

2011-06-22T20:22:00.003+08:00

What a beautiful eye-opener
this village was.

More later. :)

Justin and Wiggles.

2011-06-20T21:12:00.004+08:00

This is Justin with papa smurf.

Justin is my cousin's 2-year-old baby boy
and he is totally inseparable
with my 9-year-old Shih Tzu.

Wiggles loves having someone
around her height to play with
and he just loves to cuddle her.

Too damn cute not to share. haha

Bits and Pieces of Chiang Rai

2011-06-18T13:53:00.004+08:00

God.

Dont you love the colour of the pictures
mashing together being just so beautiful.

Even though we were only in Chiang Rai
for a day and a night
i still had to narrow down the pictures TWICE,
just to pick out which photos to post.

Took wayyyy too many. hehe.

Damnnn. This had been way too long ago.
I need another holiday. haha

Has it been a week?

2011-06-16T19:40:00.001+08:00

More than a week in fact
that ive really lost track of time.

I cant seem to find my inner peace anymore
for a very very long time.

Someone i just met highlighted to me
that Ive become so obsessed with work and the night market,
im losing sleep as i wake up subconsciously to check prices.

And no, nothing seems to be changing my mind.
Well, should it even?

Ive so many belated photos i dont know
where to begin. -_-

I promise i will get them up. Soon-ish haha!

Tattiano is back!

2011-06-09T16:42:00.002+08:00

HSF, The Smurfette and Tattiano.

Julia and I.

Okay so im a lil belated,
Tattiano has came and left
the country already
and now im posting this. hehe.

More later!

Rolling in the deep.

2011-06-06T19:30:00.001+08:00

I was given some hope today
and finally my future isnt looking so bleak.

Sunday Breakfast.

2011-06-05T22:32:00.004+08:00

Yum.

***

Theres so much to do
before the wedding.

Especially when the ROM
is in 6 months!

Went to shop for diamonds today
for the custom made engagement ring
and our wedding bands.

Then its going to book the venue,
getting the registration forms,
dress, food and bridal diet.

I nearly even forgot
that we are going for that
*Standard Chartered Marathon*
on June 26th. -_-

*faints*

A positive change.

2011-06-04T18:27:00.002+08:00

Im keeping things positive
and hoping for the best.

Heres a rare one that i love
from Katy Perry.

Happy weekend everybody!

Worse day ever.

2011-06-02T20:30:00.003+08:00

I just wanna runaway,
bury my head and cry.

The only place i stayed loyal to,
betrayed my trust and loyalty.

The only people i depend on,
cant be depended on.

I hope this is just a phase
because im really about to stand up to leave.

Penang - where it all begin.

2011-05-31T00:00:00.000+08:00

Loads of pictures!

Sorry for those with slow
internet connection. heehee.

Took a roadtrip to Penang one weekend
for eUFox's sister's wedding
with the boys.

It was also the weekend of our
5th year anniversary, his birthday
and well... the unexpected wedding proposal.

You definitely cant miss
the sign. -_-

Dropped by Ipoh for dim sum
for breakfast while on the way.

Omm Nomm Nomm!

The first thing we did in Penang
after checking into the hotel...

Line Clear Nasi Kandar yo!

Look at the queue!
So much for it being "line clear"! haha!

So old school.

Bottlecaps for chess!

Got ready for the dinner
that night itself.

Modeled for AvatarPhil's camera
whilst playing with a balloon. :D

The bride and groom!

Had one of the best
char siew and siew yok
dishes in Penang the next day.

Went biscuit shopping!

Coconut drinking!

Parked quite far in Pulau Tikus
just to have the famous
duck egg char kuey teow.

(I had 3-4 meals of that same double duck egg char kuey teow when i was there over 2 days. -_- haha!)

Cant miss the Gurney Drive's
Fried Chicken Skin!

Had drinks and chilled
with a live band at
the Hard Rock Hotel.

And yes.

Right below these lights,
he proposed to me to be his wife
and i cried. :')

...Till i forgot to reply. -_- HAHA!

We went over to a lil cafe by the beach
after that to celebrate his birthday
and watched a football game.

Pondered around the Pulau Tikus market
the following morning after checking out.

I love colours in the market!

The best 'Apom Balik' ever!

Had mine with chocolate and banana! wooo!

And of course last but not least,
the Ayer Itam's famous asam laksa.

We are definitely coming back soon again.

MSG.Hennwei and his colleagues
have set sight on a wonderful place in Penang
for us to have our garden/ beach wedding
and i definitely want to see it!

Wedding 101.

I've never known weddings to have
so many traditions, choices and dresses. T_T

Just listening to JOTT going on & on
about how much work
and planning a wedding has,
is already stressing me out.

The fiancé is getting a goldsmith
to have a custom-designed wedding band
and a proper engagement ring
but I'm totally clueless with what I want!

Okay.
Promise to blog soon!

For now, it's time for a "me-time" spa
and body massage. :D

Becoming Mrs. Sah.

2011-05-26T18:47:00.003+08:00

There's just so many times
i stopped to think,
maybe this is moving too fast
and i get really scared.

That sometimes i think
what if im not a good wife
or i will never ever get to do
what single people do anymore.

But when it comes to just being with him,
having travel plans, watching a movie
and dinners after work,
i just knew that it was all worth it.

Suddenly after nearly 2 months
of stress (from work & health),
everything is coming together again
in a very good way
and i hope this lasts a while.

I will be blogging about my wedding plans,
desires, outfits and honeymoon ideas
so stay tune!

At the time being,
ive got slightly more than 6 months
before we are officially man and wife
and we've got loads to plan!

The land down under. - Part II

2011-05-22T22:45:00.004+08:00

Churchill Island :)

A fridge in the good ol' days. haha

Water is stored on top for the wind
to keep it cooling for the food inside.

Pretty weird. hahaha

I was the only person
who caught a picture of a wild wallaby
before it hopped away!

Yay me! haha!

Beautiful :)

Feeding Cockatoos!

Puffying Billy!

And of course,
a trip to Yarra Vineyard
for wine and cheese tasting.

The best part of the trip.

I especially love a glass of wine
in such cooling weather.

God, i miss the weather there.

The land down under. - Part I

2011-05-19T14:52:00.008+08:00

Okay i intended to post
pictures according to my trip schedule
but since i dont have the Thailand and Penang
pictures with me, this will have to do first. haha

***

I didnt even realise it was my
first time to Melbourne until
I was on my way there.

Honestly, i was a little repelled
by stories about how hot Australia can be
and the insects during the summer
is not something i will be looking forward to
for a summer break.

So lucky for us,
it was autumn cum winter
because winter wasnt expected till
another month later but it was already
below 10 degrees and heck
i even heard it snowed in Dandenong!

Sorry no pictures of *St Kilda Road Parkview Hotel*,
which was an old but renovated
to a lovely place with gorgeous bedrooms
that i called home for 3 nights in Melbourne.

I would definitely recommend to stay.

A shrine in Melbourne.

It was raining unfortunately
so all we took were 3-4 pictures.

People doing the 'Falun Dafa' exercise?
Its suppose to be improving health and relaxation.

Melbourne has wayyyyy
too many parks. haha

Queen Victoria market!

I love how there's a Australian flag like towel
in the middle of the market. :)

A must try!

Pictures of veges, fruits and flowers
at markets are a must everytime i travel!

I love how the colours collide beautifully.

Having lunch in dad's fave restaurant
in China Town, A1 Restaurant.

Went to Melbourne Central,
bought myself a brand new boots
and saw this in a cakeshop window.

Reminds me of Snuffy boy. :)

At Melbourne Town Hall
for a private event - 70's style!

Us Malaysians really know how
to party anywhere in the world. -_- HAHA!

More later.

Sinking in.

2011-05-16T11:30:00.004+08:00

Just got back from a lovely
trip to Melbourne which made me miss
the UK weather so much.

A lot has been going on
in my life right now
and i cant believe its close
to being half of 2011 already.

Its the first time in the year,
ive actually been able to wake up late
and have loads of me-time to myself
that im already bored
and its not even noon time yet!

The fiancé (yes he's upgraded now haha),
is away to Penang for a long weekend
(yeah 2 weekends in a row and without me this time haha),
and will be back in my arms later in the day.

At the meantime,
im so not inclined to leaving my bed
and lazying around with the hot afternoon sun
blazing outside my window.

Maybe i should do what tai-tais do,
go shopping and read a book in a cafe
with a hot cup of chocolate & some cakes. :)

Or maybe i should stay home,
catch up on 'Gossip Girl'
and later read a book under the sheets. :)

Either way, sounds lovely.

If only I could live my life
every day this way.

Wow.

2011-05-10T19:38:00.004+08:00

I have so little time
that i cant even catch up
with my own life. -_-

So in case you're lagging behind,
im engaged. :)

Barely 48 hours into
the new step of the relationship
and i have to leave the country again. -_-

I know im a horrible blogger
but bear with me and i promise
i will have more time next week
as this will be the end of my crazy
1 month serial holiday. haha

Melbourne, here i come!

Pangkor Laut.

2011-05-07T08:05:00.003+08:00

While waiting for my transport to Penang,
ive decided to do a quick editing
to the Pangkor Laut pictures
or they will see the light of day. T_T haha

So a quick post
with lots of pictures!

Picture quality may vary
as they were taken from
4 various cameras. T_T haha

Captions later! Gotta run!

This seems so long ago.

2011-05-03T21:56:00.003+08:00

Two photos from Pangkor Laut first
because im having trouble finding time
to edit pictures. T_T

What happened to all those bliss?!

Never knew how tired travelling can be
and my strength were tested
with a 24-hour demanding job,
that i had two nose bleeds
in the last 20 hours.

Im so tired, can cry.

Not that Thailand wasnt great
but it was so rushing with us
running from one city to another.

Im so looking forward
to the Penang trip this weekend.

I really need that holiday.

Off to Thailand!

2011-04-28T19:06:00.002+08:00

Im off to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai
for four days.

Its gonna be a heck
of a beautiful long
weekend. (and loads of shopping!)

I know i havent gotten the
Pangkor Laut pictures up
so will get it done when im back!

Sweet Tooth.

2011-04-25T21:42:00.003+08:00

Its so rare to find guy friends
who would sit with you eating
brownies with ice-cream and
red velvet cakes.

Just a rare and wonderful sight
as they continue rambling
about work and life.

I love my boys. :)

What an explosion!

2011-04-18T20:21:00.003+08:00

I love love love this song
and i never liked Katy Perry's songs
but this is really an exceptional.

I could blast this,
have it played over and over again
and im still not bored yet. haha

How could I forget this?

2011-04-17T21:51:00.004+08:00

I took this from my iphone 4
after a wonderful surprise
from the colleagues.

I cant believe i nearly forgot
to post this up after blogging
about my tiny *birthday* weekend.

I nearly cried
from being so touched.

A lot of things had been going on
for me for this past few weeks for work
and i just want a Sunday where i can
just stay home, relax and have me time.
(Since im now working on Saturdays...)

Its so tiring being me...
