it's time to conclude my 2008

haven't realised that time actually passed so fast, unexpectedly. 2008 has almost come to the end...

i was flipping over my 2008 scheduler and noticed that i've actually set some targets. they were 4 of them... and guess what?? i've achieved 2 1/2 out of 4...

1. $$ for my japan shopping trip : )
2. more water & down on caffeine
3. quit smoking
4. digicam & laptop

haven't not saved enough money for my japan shopping trip and decided to give up. but... please wait for me, tokyo... you are always on my mind : )

i used to slurp 2 cups of coffee and 1.5 litres of water per day. i then realised that the coffee consumption was like a little too much and the water consumption was a little too little. i kept on reminding and limiting myself to only take 1 cup of coffee and 2 litres of water per day. hmm... succeeded!! i'm feeling a little healthier after that :p

the biggest achievement of all is... i've successfully quit smoking!! the whole process was a s**t and it was so torturing. smoking is really a tempting habit, just like my shopping habit!! the call to smoke is just like devils' whispers, non-stop seduction. self determination and strong will are the keys to success. and of course, with god's help, i've finally beat the devils' calls!!

hubby has just bought me a digicam and i'm waiting for my laptop!! it's has become his target and not mine anymore. hahaha... pity him :p **just say say only lah**

2009 is just around the corner and it will be a more challenging year - economic slow down, lesser opportunity to my change job, extra workload, more spending lower savings... more and more coming up.

pray hard, believe in god and hope for a blessed 2009...

long time no see... when will i see you again?

a day before christmas eve makes me remembered your call back to malaysia. the happiness within me is so still, i can still feel it till now. thanks for the warmth greetings and the sweet voice of yours presenting the song that i wanted to hear the most. it is so touching... and i wanna let you know how grateful i am to god that i once had you in my life. i miss you so much... especially, whenever i feel down. i know you will always be there for me...

since then, i always wanted to find a song that best describe our relationship. i have finally found two but is it too late?

在东京铁塔 第一次眺望
看灯火模仿 坠落的星光
我终於到达 但却更悲伤
一个人完成 我们的梦想

你总说 时间还很多
你可以等我
以前我不懂得
未必明天 就有以后

想念是会呼吸的痛
它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛
看你的信会痛 连沉默也痛

遗憾是会呼吸的痛
它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛
恨不懂你会痛
想见不能见最痛

没看你脸上 张扬过哀伤
那是种多么 寂寞的倔强
你拆了城墙 让我去流浪
在原地等我 把自己捆绑

你没说 你也会软弱
需要依赖我
我就装不晓得
自由移动 自我地过

想念是会呼吸的痛
它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛
看你的信会痛 连沉默也痛

遗憾是会呼吸的痛
它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛
恨不懂你会痛
想见不能见最痛

我发誓不再说谎了
多爱你就会抱你多紧的
我的微笑都假了
灵魂像飘浮着 你在就好了
我发誓不让你等候
陪你做想做的无论什么
我越来越像贝壳
怕心被人触碰 你回来那就好了

能重来那就好了


会呼吸的痛 by fish leong


这一刻突然觉得好熟悉 像昨天今天同时在放映
我这句语气原来好像你 不就是我们爱过的证据

差一点骗了自己骗了你 爱与被爱不一定成正比
我知道被疼是一种运气 但我无法完全交出自己

努力为你改变 却变不了预留的伏笔
以为在你身边那也算永远 仿佛还是昨天 可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你 陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

那一段我们曾心贴着心 我想我更有权力关心你
可能你已走进别人风景 多希望也有星光的投影

努力为你改变 却变不了预留的伏笔
以为在你身边那也算永远 仿佛还是昨天 可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你 陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

可惜不是你 by fish leong

grandmother story

i just can't believe it!! can't believe it!!

a 50 year old lady could be so childish!! could be so superstitious!! could be so unreasonable!!

it has been almost a decade... **let me make it more kua jeong** it has been centuries since i last heard of this and i've actually forgotten the existence of the 'myth'. can you imagine how long is the long that people don't say this anymore?

who says it is not allowed to cut nails at night?

i was cutting my nails in the living hall while watching tv. of course i know the rules of cutting nails tidily... i siap-siap prepared a wastebin in front of me. who knows... m-i-l waited for me to finish cutting my nails and sounded me with the most annoying facial expression **i hate her facial expression - as if i've killed her whole family. i know she doesn't mean it, this is her but i just hate it!!!**

she said it is not allowed to cut nails in the house and the most importantly at night. if she said i can't do in the living hall or... okay... in the house, i can still accept it, for the sake of cleanliness. fine!!

**i think she doesn't know that the world has actually invented a nail clipper with catcher. just imagine doing it outside the house, under 30++ c/degrees, from cut, file, buffer and top coat, it takes about 1 hour. i feel sick when i think of it...**

i can't do it at night? wtf!!! i really wanted to ask her the reason behind this unreasonable command and if i need to yin har toong sing to find a good time to cut my nails. this is ridiculous, man!!!

i remember my mum told me the same thing too when i was a kids, not older than 10 years old, i'm sure, and i did ask her the reason not to cut nails at night. the only reason is... every mummy worries about her children. last time people used gasoline lamp ma, couldn't see clearly at night and afraid that her children cut their fingers or hurt themselves.

c'mon lah... nowadays people can see clearly under neon lights and i'm now 27 years old. if i cut my nails at night or i hurt myself... this is called careless, dei sei!! not because of 'whatsoever thing' that causes the huit gong ji joi... haiyo... please stop the nonsense!!

what a modern mum... uwek!!

month of december - month of celebrations

a new month - a new beginning - the same serm ching - excited to welcome the month of december, christmas, the year end, the new year celebrations and more and more shopping 'appointments'...

a brand new day, without mummy ki in da'house. happy to see you finally step out from this office and move on with your desired career path. wish you all the best working with a group of aunties, keep up the learning attitude and erm... all the best lah in everything you do. looking forward for more desperate housewives outings. kakaka...

the last day of november was my housekeeping day. woke up at 8.30am, did a nice facial mask, tidied the bed to its nicest, swept and mopped the floor, washed and hanged clothes. i thought of washing my car but after doing all the tasks, it was time to have a nice breakfast with che wei.

he was back from sg for the weekend and so good of him, he called me up for a meeting. he actually wanna pass me the wedding gifts... erm... cum christmas gifts. hahaha... they were caps and hats. both were special and i don't see them in m'sia. thanks, che wei...

back home and continued with the housekeeping. so sern kei that i ironed clothes - it was my first time. hopefully hubby doesn't realise how crumple his shirts are. hahaha...

cooked an instant noodle and poured a cup of coffee for lunch. burppp... *full*

they were back home at around 5.00pm and suggested to go for a buffet dinner at sun & surf @ sunway pyramid hotel. i thought we were going for shopping since s-i-l was so desperate for it. surprisingly, m-i-l was also saying that she wanted to go shopping too. i took a quick shower and got prepared for the outing.

just didn't know why we needed to wait for the arrival of a relative. she was going with us and she wasn't sure of the route. she even forced m-i-l to drive her car with us squeezing at the back. haiya... we were like sardines at the back and yet she said her car is spacious enough for us. sigh...

we reached there at around 7.30pm and... we still needed to wait for the relatives' friends. while waiting, we walked around the hotel area and we were so amazed by its' christmas decor and the environment in a whole. i couldn't find words to describe how beautiful it was but i'll try to put up the photos asap - my normal outings.

we started our buffet dinner at 8.00pm and finished at 8.45pm. by the duration of our dinner, i guess you'll know how 'delicious' the buffet dinner was. RM78++ is not worthy at all!! and the most kik sei thing was - it made us delayed our shopping plan. lagi not worthy!!

immediately we planned for another shopping day on this coming sat @ mid valley and the gardens. we were so proud of ourselves for being so efficient and effective. hahaha...

so many things to shop for. gotta make a shopping list. hehehe...

~~another mad shopping day~~

got a call from beng beng this morning, informing that vee vee is on her way back to kl. yeah... can't wait to see her tonight!!

and 1 surprise from beng beng... she asked me out for shopping at the i-setan. she seldom ask me to go shopping with her. memandangkan impian tak kesampaian yesterday, of course i said yes. i even asked kiat kiat to join us. aiya... me always a devil, asking people to spend money. hehehe... :pp

told hubby that i'll be going shopping after work. biasalah... he won't say cannot and he cannot say so too :p he said he'd sponsor me wo... let's see the items in my shopping list. hmm... i have **counting** erm... *still counting** haa... *almost forget this** aiya... too many, i've lost count!!

honey, please get your wallet ready for the bills :p

a ... beneath the crest of a hill

one last thing mummy ki teaches me before she leaves this office permanently - how to access blogspot from office!! ta-dah... here i am...

**this aunty memang banyak loong lou...**
**thanks to you, mummy ki and ling nee... for providing us the proxy address. i'm wondering how long we can do it. kakaka... me, si mulut celupar!!**

i wanted to go for FJ benjamin warehouse sales at the parkroyal hotel - hsbc credit card holder will get an additional 10% discount. sounds and looks attractive... luckily wendy called and advised me not to go. nothing much there, it seemed. okay... purse selamat!!

BUT...

i'm leaving real soon to head for the biggest, craziest shopping day at the i-setan. wahahaha~~~

mummy ki no longer wears smart casual to work. so she gotta shop for formal attires. i'm just accompanying. chehwa... as if i'm not gonna shop for myself. erm... hopefully not me buying things in the end. kekeke...

gtg now... let me show you my 'jin lei bern' when i reach home at night :pp


**just reached home**

haiya... wrong number!! these women thought that we were heading to pavillion and i thought that we were heading to i-setan. aiyaya... no merk kei... :p

at last we went to pavillion - partially because of the heavy traffic jam towards the klcc area. never mind... who ever cared for the place, anyway. so long there are boutiques for shopping and places for dinner. hehehe...

the christmas decor is a bit weird for the classy pavillion. white christmas - not considered white. gold christmas - not considered gold. i'm not sure of the overall concept. it looks just like the worldwide financial status - miserable. kakaka... :p

just managed to shop a little. had only bought a cardigan from forever 21. thought of buying christmas gifts for my buddies... sigh... tak berjaya. too luxurious and expensive, can't afford to pay :p

dined at dainti hill restaurant. the food wasn't as good as the last i went but the service quality has actually improves. the waiter asked if there a problem with the food as nee nee only touched 1/4 of it, i guess. nowadays, most of the restaurant don't do this, unless those that serve fine dining.

our first desparate housewives' gathering was great. we shopped, we dined, we chatted, we laughed and we shared funny and kik hei experiences with our in-laws. gossip lah tu... kakaka :p

better go to bed now as tomorrow i need to work full day.
what to do tomorrow leh...?

silence is gold or ...?

hubby has gone for his basketball game.
m-i-l and s-i-l have left for ipoh to attend a wedding lunch.
b-i-l feels that it's boring staying at home so he went out.
f-i-l just came back and now heating up food for his dinner.
i've just finished shower and i have nothing to do.

total silence...

hubby managed to pick me up at 6.00pm this evening. but guess what... we were caught in a heavy traffic jam. we reached home at around 8.15pm. omg!! i couldn't believe this. not only hubby was tired, i was tired too, sitting in the car, doing nothing.

really nothing... we even hardly said a word to each other. perhaps both of us were tired... just simply too tired. there remained silent for about 15 minutes, 30 minutes or longer. i couldn't remember...

total silence...

lately, hubby comes back home late at night, almost every night. he has his work and basketball games to attend to. is he having too much things to do or i have nothing to do? i wished i could have so much activities to keep myself busy.

i'm now busy with housework - washing and folding clothes, sweeping the floor, washing dishes and so on... besides blogging and checking mails, i really have nothing to do. hubby actually asks me to look for my own social activities but i just couldn't find any and i'm not interested in anything right now, it seems. shopping? how many days in a week can i go shopping? sports? this new place is just too far for jogging (the only one that i'm interested in, at the moment : p)

i realise that the topics that could keep us talking to each other are getting lesser. yeah... we seldom talk nowadays. it's like... i'm married to his family more than him. really... i see and talk to m-i-l and s-i-l more than him. let me count... i think i see him less than 120 hours since we got married. surprised? yet it's true. i think i should register my amazing true story to ripley's believe it or not?! hahaha... kua jeong!!

the problem is... he does nothing wrong. he has his right to go for basketball games. this is his interest, i truly understand. he needs to work at night sometimes, i truly understand. but would it be better if he could... at least...? aah... i just don't wanna sound it out. he should've know what to do... and this is a problem too... he's kinda mm sing muk.

but when i need to say everything out... this is more like a command. i don't wanna demand for so much. putting things negatively - no demand and hope, there'll be more disappointment, right? if i were to ask for this and that... don't you think this will eventually lead to transforming him to the person that i wanted? he is not him anymore!! i don't wanna be a transformer, anyway. i just hate... erm... what's its name? bumblebee? yucks!!

weekend is coming and he'll be working... although i'll also need to work on saturday, how am i going to spend my sunday? with m-i-l and s-i-l AGAIN? oh no...

beauty chat all day long

finally i can feel the impact of the financial tsunami. have been overloaded since last september and suddenly the world stops where it is. everything moves a little slower than usual and eventually stops...

i was like waiting to go back home from work as early as 10.30am. since i had nothing to do and there was nothing to be done... tunggu apa lagi?? IM all day long with mummy ki.

'mummy ki, i know that you have nothing to do also, right? stop pretending that you are busy and let's chat with me...' hehehe...

**i'm the devil... yeah...**

mummy ki, finally... i found the old packaging of the green make up base that i've been using all this while. with the new and nicer packaging, the price is only up by rm5.00... worthy to buy-lah...

**i'm the devil... yeah...**

mummy ki, since i know your level of laziness to putting on fake eyelashes, i'd recommend you this set of fake eyelashes. the effect is almost the same with the enhancing eyelashes (the bit-by-bit eyelashes that i told you this morning). you can have a try...

wishing you all the best in choosing yourself the most suitable pair of fake eyelashes. remember to get the adhesive ya... remember to buy the applicator too. shu's applicator cost rm150.00 and please don't invest on it first. beat your semangat hangat-hangat tahi ayam before buying real expensive tools. erm.. buy a normal tweezers first.

i'm now scouting for a nice eyeliner. pencil-lah... i'm still a beginner in applying a eyeliner. i'm sure it's gonna be zigzag lines if i use liquid eyeliner. kakaka~~~

feel free to suggest me. thanks in advance...!!

geng! geng!! geng!!!

me, always being a forgetful person, forgot to bring the eye & lip makeup remover to shower. i only realised that when i've finished taking off my clothes. i was so tired and lazy to wear back all my clothes and run up to my room to get it. i decided to finish shower first and cleanse my face after that. biasalah... tips for a lazy person :pp
.

because of my laziness, i found a miracle - waterproof mascara from sasa. it is really a super geng waterproof mascara. my skin is super oily at all times and i'm having difficulties in buying eye makeup, such as mascara, eyelash adhesive, eye shadow, eyeliner, booster and so on...

i notice this miracle after i washed my hair... hoo... the mascara was still lying so tidily on my lashes. geng-lah!!!

the effect is so good and i'm wondering how much lead in there. but... who cares?!

olympus mju stylus 1040



wuahahaha... hubby bought me a digicam... yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah~~~

i'm dreaming of having a digicam on my own for 10 thousand years... hubby makes my 1st dream comes true.

thanks, honey. i love you...

let's make our first flash!!

thank you-s

big bIG BIG bIG big
thank you-s

hubby - thank you for taking me as your wife... taking good care of me... telling me jokes when i'm down... singing me rhymes when i'm waking at night... catching and lifting me up when i'm falling... comforting me when i'm uneasy, wiping off my tears when i'm sobbing... trying to buy me almost everything that i want... walking hand in hand with me through the sweet and sour... thank you for everything that you have done, trying to do and will try to do for me. i know your every effort and i really appreciate it. i love you, hubby...

beng, kiat, vee, keon, fai, mok, rainie, junn, june, carmen and b-y - thank you for making my day. all of you are superb jimuis. i have watched everyone of you in act. erm... except fai as she was the one holding the vcam. hahaha...

specially to keon and vee, who made their way home, all the way from aus and sg, beng and kiat, who helped to organize the games at very last minute, rainie for all the bridal tips, junn for skipping lecture. kakaka... and fai for being the vcamer.

wendy and cassey - thank you for your extensive help in doing all the washings and organizations. thanks for the expensive gift during the tea ceremony too.

mum, dad, m-i-l and d-i-l - thank you for all the care from all of you. we are now a small family on our own. we'll take good care of ourselves. thanks for the late nights, early mornings, market days and everything and everything. i love you all always.

specially to m-i-l - i truly thank you for insisting us to have a grand wedding ceremony, which we were so reluctant to accept at first. although we are still not buying YOUR idea 100%, we are glad that the wedding ceremony had actually brought so many reunions of our friends and relatives. i was so happy to see all of us gathered in small groups and chatted like we haven't seen each others for years. although the experience was a tiring and expensive one, it actually worth it.

photographer paul - thank you for the early morning and late night too. thanks for the lenses, snaps and laughter and joy that you brought us. you are really a funny guy. it's happy talking with you as well as working with you. thanks for making me so slim in every photo that you took. the photos are really beautiful. hereby, wishing you all the best for your photography exhibition, which will end this weekend.

telelinkers - thank you for your presence. hope that you have enjoyed the food : )

prubuddies - thank you for rushing back to kl for the wedding lunch. didn't expect my date to clash with the away day. everyone looked fresh, beautiful and handsome on that day. don't worry... eyes, ears, mouths and noses were at places. kakaka...

and sorry baby tiff, i didn't know that the lights would suddenly go off and the music would suddenly blast into air. i didn't mean to make you terrified and cried. let me ban the uncles and aunties who did this... sayang back ya... : )

not sure if i left anyone out from the list. i still wanna sincerely thank every every tiny mini giant biggy. thanks thanks thanks with muacks : )

the most fearful nightmare comes...

m-i-l passed me all hubby's working shirts to me, all ironed and hanged nicely. i'm was so grateful to takeover from her. i really appreciate it till...

her immediate response - this also i need to do for you ar??

i'm thankful for what she does for me. she helps to keep the clothes after the sun, she puts them on my bed, she cooks for me (well... this is definite-lah as she cooks for the whole family) and so etc etc... that i've not seen yet.

my philosophy is an easy one - if you wanna do, just do and don't complain. if you wanna complain, better don't do. she can just tell me to clean up my own shit, i really don't mind ironing hubby's clothes. although i hate ironing clothes, i'll still do it, if she ask me to. i really don't mind. i'm okay with it.

i just can't stand her doing it, complaining about it and yet still doing it. no doubt, her time spent at home is long than mine... there's no way i could do the ironing earlier than her. wanna be a sing muk person also cannot lah... :p

most probably i think you got me well when i insisted to wash my clothes instead of putting them into the washing machine and let her hang my clothes after the washings. i just don't wanna create more bollywood stories :pp

honey, i only serng har jeh... no hard feelings geh... no worries ya... not a problem. maybe i'm not used to the way she speaks. i hear the same way when she talks to your dad or probably everyone than me in the family. maybe the problem is with me instead : )

i'm okay now, after listening to...


because of you by 98 degrees
you're my sunshine after the rain
you're the cure against my fear and my pain
'cause i'm losing my mind when you're not around
it's all... it's all because of you
baby, i really know by now
since we met that day
you showed me the way
i felt it then you gave me love, I can't describe
how much i feel for you
i said baby i should have known by now
should have been right there whenever you gave me love
and if only you were here
i'd tell you, yes.. i'd tell you
honestly could it be you and me
like it was before neither less or more
'cause when I close my eyes at night
i realize that no one else
could ever take your place
i still can feel and it's so unreal
when you're touching me, kisses endlessly
it's just a place in the sun where our love's begun
i miss you, yes... i miss you baby, oh yeah
if i knew how to tell you what's on my mind... make you understand
that i'd always be there right by your side... : )

what happened to me?!

woke up late this morning... of course, left the house later than usual. of course, jammed more teruk than usual... luckily still reaching office on time.

had a terrible breakfast - yesterday leftover fried rice. wow... the most awful thing that i've ever put into my mouth. yucks...!!

wrongly pressed nescafe from the vending machine. supposedly i should get myself a cup of cappuccino but the half blinded me, buta-buta pressed nescafe. sigh... no mood liao.

i thought my lunch would be wonderful one, ngoi serm faan hap. i ding-ed 2 minutes as usual, bloody hell... don't know what happened to the microwave. not warm enough lah!! i also malas to re-ding again. don't care lah... just eat!!

the OV system was down for the whole day. aiya... wanna process cases also like kik har kik har... gik sei ngor lah!!

my blood was boiling to 100 degrees celcius. don't care lah... i decided to go back sharp 5.15pm today. the evening traffic was a little better than the morning. the biggest compliment for the day... at least there was something good left for me : )

just a while before this only i realised that today is my facial mask and laundry day. aiya... miscounted the day lah... should not programmed these 2 activities on the same day.

i'm now tired like hell... like a redundant child, staring faraway by the roadside. not knowing where to head to... how would tomorrow be, helplessly, waiting for the sun to rise to start the day and the moonlight to end it. erm... why a redundant child? simply and simple - my arms and legs are dead now. i can't even lift them up :pp

kiat, daryl, hubby and i were discussing on our koh samui trip next year and we all feel that the trip is a little too expensive for us. since daryl is now so free in the office, we have appointed him to be the researcher - see see look look surf surf on net to scout for cheaper flight and hotel rates. we are now desperately looking forward / waiting for fireflyz flight schedule as it is the only one that has direct flight to koh samui and the most important is... it'll be cheaper than bangkok air. hell man... it is charging at rm800++ from kl-bangkok-kl. who the hell in this world would fly us to koh samui then??

my laptop and japan trip have stepped a little further from me now... please don't leave me... : ~

a song to share with you, my dearest

heard this while on my way back home today. it was so jammed and i was so frustrated and... this song calmed me down...

hubby, i know you gotta work till late night today. hoping that this song too calms you down whenever you feel frustrated and may it brighten up your tiring day, a little...


lucky by jason mraz feat. colbie caillat

do you hear me
i'm talking to you
across the water across the deep blue ocean
under the open sky... oh my... baby... i'm trying...


boy... i hear you in my dreams
i feel your whisper across the sea
i keep you with me in my heart
you make it easier when life gets hard


i'm lucky i'm in love with my best friend
lucky to have been where i have been
lucky to be coming home again

ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


they don't know how long it takes
waiting for a love like this
every time we say goodbye
i wish we had one more kiss
i'll wait for you, i promise you, i will


i'm lucky i'm in love with my best friend
lucky to have been where have been
lucky to be coming home again
lucky we're in love every way
lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
lucky to be coming home someday


and so i'm sailing through the sea
to an island where we'll meet
you'll hear the music fill the air
i'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
move so pretty you're all i see
as the world keeps spinning round
you hold me right here right now


i'm lucky i'm in love with my best friend
lucky to have been where i have been
lucky to be coming home again


i'm lucky we're in love every way
lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
lucky to be coming home someday


ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

m-i-l is stoned :pp

before i went into shower this evening, i was stopped by m-i-l with her unexpected question.

m-i-l : what are you having in your basin? do you need all of them in the shower?
pat : yeah... i need them all. i'm kinda troublesome.
m-i-l : i also realise that you spend almost an hour in shower. what are you doing in there?
pat : **whatheheck is this question??** haa... shower loh... what else i can do in there?
m-i-l : need so long meh?
pat : need ar... first, eye and lip makeup remover. second, makeup remover. third, hair shampoo. fourth, hair conditioner / treatment. fifth, body scrub. sixth, body shampoo. seventh, facial cleanser. eighth, contact lens. ninth, towel dry hair and body. tenth, clothes. that's all only ma... you not like that ge meh?
m-i-l : you are so troublesome lah...
pat : not really lah. today is not my facial mask day. if not, lagi panjang cerita.
m-i-l : **pengsan**
pat : **hahaha~~~ lol**

surprisingly, m-i-l asked if i wanna bring lunchbox to work tomorrow. at last she asks...!! of course!! i'm too lazy to walk to pr / imbi for lunch. lunch out for some days now and i've already fed up of that. walking out from the office is like going for sunbathing :pp

second surprise of the day - f-i-l kept a chicken drumstick for me for my dinner. normally he'll be the first who takes that part. didn't expect he kept his favourite for me. old people really shy to show off their love and care. haiyah... this is so precious... why shy shy wo...??
**ngerm song lah... me :pp**

went up to my room after dinner to settle all the clothes that are lying dead on my bed. i switched on the table lamp instead of the ceiling one. konon... wanna save electricity. kakaka... actually i'm lazy to switch on the ceiling lamp... the table lamp is nearer to me :pp

there i realised that the table lamp is a very important thing in my room. the feel has suddenly changed into sentimental, it was so romantic and comfortable. and i ter-zzz...

sHiT!!! WaKe Up!!! i cannot stay in this way anymore. for sure i'll sleep at 8.00pm. i must find something to do. haa... i've found that something to do - upload all my photos to my picasaweb album.

followers - you have new photos to browse through...

new chapter in life

i find it's quite hard living with the new family. not because of their behaviours but the living habits. hmm... i still believe we can eventually live together, happily. all i need to do now is to observe and pick up their living habits fastest possible.

so far i've found some differences between the old and new home. hmm... let's list'em out:

**old
1. we sweep floor using broom.
2. we wash clothes using washing powder.
3. we drink diamond water.
4. we drink using cups/mugs.
5. we put everything for shower in the bathroom.
6. i need not wash clothes and sweep floor (and i hate doing these two particular housework)
7. i only have to drive 12km to-flow from home to office.

**new
1. there's no broom, man!! we use magic clean.
2. there's no washing powder, man!! we use dynamo ONLY!! wondering if the clothes are clean enough.
3. we drink e-spring water.
4. don't know what kinda home is this - no cups/mugs for water. we use water tumblers.
5. there's no enough space for me to put my everything in the bathroom. i put my everything in my room and bring them the to the bathroom in a basin. it's just exactly like the people washing clothes by the river. yes, the ones we watch in tv drama.
6. i need to wash clothes and sweep floor now (argh... i hate it... i hate it... :pp)
7. i have to drive 20++km to-flow from home to office. luckily the fuel price has gone down : )

m-i-l actually asks me to just dump my clothes into the machine but i insist to wash them by myself. i wanna minimise her help... if possible, to zero. i just too afraid that she may take this as a topic when we fight things over in the future. not being negative but i'm accepting the fact that no matter how well we can get along, there'll still be things that we may not agree to as we are different people altogether. i hate seeing this happens. NO NO NO... i'll try not to let it happen and that's why i insist to do all my things by myself.

there was a day in last week, couldn't remember which day, that i caused the toilet in flood. i didn't know that the flush is spoiled, i didn't press it back to its original place when i flushed. f-i-l called me out loudly and i was shocked to see the flooded toilet. oh f**k!! and now i need to clean up the mess!! what a bad day... not only the toilet was spoiled, my mood too... : (

this time sei loh... expected m-i-l to nag and scold. who knew that f-i-l didn't tell her what had happened just now. phew... luckily... oh, thanks to f-i-l... **wiping my cold sweat away**

read through a write up from the chinapress - family lifestyle on... erm... i'd call him a celebrity - Ho B from TVBHK, on his marriage life and living perspective. i find it interesting and there are some useful tips, that suddenly open up my mind:

1. tolerate, learn from, accept and adapt our differences instead of bersabar. how long we can stand each other without accepting our differences in every aspect? this is true, very true.

2. learn to report to each other in the sense of respect and care and not to control each other. telling where i go, who i go out with and what i've done in a day is not something hard to do. this is a kinda sharing and care, i'd say. at least hubby knows what i've been up to and how my day has gone. at the same time, i'd like to know how his too.

i will stick this up on wall and share the tips with hubby : )

pre - on - post

it's too sad that my countdown broke in between. it's all my fault for not holding on for these 3 important days. *blaming myself... blaming myself**

let me see if i still remember what had happened in these 3 days. frankly speaking, i don't remember much. they were simply too fantasy, too excited, too happy and yet too fast... and i'm having problems capturing and remembering the moments.


pre - 7 november 2008
.
wake up quite early, preparing myself to drive mum to the market and to k avenue for my nail job. i thought of trying out the new OPI nail colour but ended up still in the colour that auntie sharon suggested - hawaiian. it is still the best colour - thanks, auntie sharon!!
.
today is another warm... NO!!! it's HOT. can't help with the sweat on my whole body. there i realise i haven't buy ice cubes. luckily hubby is here, helps me to bring over a big plastic container and packs of ice cube. yeah... we still meeting each other today. mum even asks him to stay back for the catering later. who say we are not suppose to meet each other today? even mum is not practising all this pantang-larang.
.
this is my first time seeing so many people gather in my house. i don't even know some, erm... most of them. i think mum invited 2 from each family but ended up the whole family comes. hahaha... i expected this actually. it's really hard to control the crowd.
.
congrats here and there, thank you here and there. wedding photos being passed here and there. guests busy picking photos. explain so many times on where i took my wedding photo, why i just wore a piece of gown for the shooting, why i chose that album skin... so many questions to answer. this isn't a quiz, i guess :pp
.
buddies come at around 8.00pm. all we do is eat eat eat, chat chat chat, laugh laugh laugh. especially when mok mok reaches, the more we chat and laugh. it really looks like a reunion. but kesian adam... he doesn't know what we are talking about, at all!! let keon translates them all to you but later-lah. don't kacau us chatting. hahaha...
.
tired tired tired... luckily i have cassey and look wee to help with the washing, wendy, jen and june to help with the cleaning and tidying up and mum to help with the tabao. biasalah... before makan-makan, we afraid food is not enough. after makan-makan, we need to force guests to tabao the leftover. hahaha...
.
dumplings time!! yum yum... i get to eat 2 times this year. the party ends at around 2.00am.
on - 8 november 2008
.
haiyo... need to wake up at 6.00am. 30 minutes more lah... after negotiating with mum, wake up at 6.30am. shower and omg... may is here. wait wait wait, i'm almost done!!
.
mum gets a bowl of noodle ready for me. rush the whole bowl in and immediately we start the makeup session. luckily may is so experienced... she is fast in whatever she does. hehehe...
paul is here as well... he starts off with his snapshots on my bridal gown and pumps. sorry-lah, paul... i talk to you later ya.
.
hairdo and final touch up - done! i look fantastic, man. for the first time ever i look so beautiful. i was amazed that makeup makes wonders. *happy happy*
.
9.00am already - shit!! where's mum? she suppose to put on my headpiece by now. i'm waiting, dad is waiting, paul is waiting with his cam, may is waiting with some hairpins in hand. where is she??! aiya... she goes to a neighbour's house for chat. wtf!!! mum~~~ please come back. i need you now...
.
*123... cheese... snap snap* done!!
.
'nah... remember to treat your in-laws good, don't quarrel with them, need to be more tolerant and patient, no more like in mum's house - sit, sleep, lay down as you like, must greet them every morning, must always put a smile on your face... blah blah blah. may all of you be harmony'.
.
oh gosh... today is not a crying day. we are not suppose to cry today. don't make my mascara drops, mum. **deep breath... deep breath**
.
'yes, mum. i got it. don't cry... i'm not going anywhere and i'll be back home always. this is always my home sweet home. i love you'.
.
here they come... play games and i see my hubby~~!!
prayers prayers... tea ceremony...
ang pow ang pow... jewelry jewelry...
.
why so quiet geh? so much time in between... everyone is so tired, the weather is so hot... everyone is waiting for the time to leave.
.
clock strikes 12.00pm sharp... we leave the house and here we drive to the new home.
yoh... need to wait again... kik sei... why suddenly the time passes so slow? almost fall asleep in the car...
.
after stepping into the house... haiya... prayers and tea ceremony again. how long do i need to stand ar...? my feet are so painful, the shoes are so uncomfortable, i'm so headache. blame it on the weather.
.
the afternoon ends at 3.00pm. i'm damn f**king tired, man!! god, please help me... i can't even open my eyes.
.
haa... don't know why this round the time passes so fast. zoop... 7.00pm already. guests are entering the compound and catering starts soonafter.
.
the happiest moment is when telelinkers arrive. i haven't seen them for so long... as usual, all the fai chais with the fai chais' jokes. hahaha... so happy... they are always entertaining and blow away my blues. all my tiredness gone faraway once i see them. especially when i see kok loon, lionel and alex foo. they are really great jokers!!
.
don't eat much tonight. no appetite... treat the night as a slimming treatment-lah... kekeke... :p
post - 9 november 2008
.
another waking up early day. why so torturing leh... me cannot tahan liao. mau matilah... hari hari pukul 6.00am. wan ngo meh...? ding mm pou loh... :pp
.
hmm... i decided to wear the gold colour cheongsam that i bought from classic chinatown. i dare not to wear the evening gown by the bridal house. i look fat in that... moreover, it's in blue colour, not really into blue. i think m-i-l also not really into that gown. if not, she wouldn't have let me stick to my plan. you know her-lah har... :pp
.
waiting for may to come, luckily she gets the way to my new house. start work... today we pick an oriental makeover and i'm still looking good in this. hahaha... sendiri puji sendiri. kekeke...
but may is really good... my dearest ji muis - if anyone of you wanna look for a makeup artiste, can consider her oh... anyone interested may get her contact from me. wei wei wei... no advertising fee gah... i'm sincere to recommend her to all of you :pp
.
holys**t... now only i know that the table arrangement has changed and i need to amend my guest seating arrangement. buy guess what... we are already late to the restaurant, some of the guests are already there and yet my dearest hubby forgets to bring my guest list to the restaurant. i have no ideas where my friends and colleagues are going to sit.
.
'merng zherng sei ngo lah... cheah tai hoe... you gao dim this shit!!'
.
my feet are starting to aching again. damn it, zang!! paid so much yet still aching. my goodness...
cheng cheng cheng... marching in and food presentation... cake cutting, toasting... yam seng all the way. it is really a typical chinese wedding lunch.
.
can see that my f-i-l is very, extremely happy today. he smiles and drinks a lot : )
.
so sad that vee vee-wah wah have to leave early as they need to catch the bus back sg. bye bye-lah buddies... i see you when you back... don't know when... for sure, i'll miss you. love ya : )
.
need to apologize to all friends and colleagues - i'm sorry for not able to stop by for a chat and photos. i have not got the chance to say bye to some of you. next time bou faan sou ar... hehehe :pp
.
at last... everything ends today. yeah yeah yeah...
.
karaoke session!!! it's my turn to enjoy to the max!! so long i haven't been to karaoke with buddies. get to know a new friend today, also named ivan. but we force him to get a new name - eng. kakaka... tonight i really enjoy the karaoke - at least it helps release tonnes of stress and tiredness.
.
phew... glad that everything is over now.
.
oosh... a tough beginning is starting...
.
.
**video clips and photos are on the way. be patient**

2 days to go

after fetching keon keon and adam, we went out for drinks. hahaha... adam needed alcohol!!

biasalah... we, with our 'fai chai' jokes, burst out laughing the whole night :0

another round to klia, luckily not me this round. i was just responsible to book a table for dinner. hehehe...

i'm so full now. had a satisfying dinner at pavillion tony roma's. had beef ribs, rosemary chicken, baked potato soup, bread and tony's sampler. full full full... can't breathe now...

sharis is still like the last time i saw her. she looks a little tired, perhaps just touched down and needed to head for dinner straightaway.

quite tired today. not feel like writing a lot.

zzzzz.....zzzzz.....

3 days to go

my complain is working. hubby is kinda like treating me better : )

normally he will not willing to be with my parents as he thinks they are too troublesome and always being naggers. yes, they are, no doubt... so i can understand why he reacts that way. promised to give him a wake up call at 10.00am but i called him as early as 9.00am. wanted his help me to drive us around for a furniture shop. mum wants to buy a new dining table set to replace the whole set of sofa at home. kinda shock when she told me that she wanna dump the set of sofa. they are always her sweetheart.

he woke up willing and drove us around willingly. a good day for all of us - we managed to buy our desired dining table set at the first spot, with a reasonable price. the sales person could arrange for an immediate delivery. hubby was in his good mood. happily we sent them back home for some cleaning up before welcoming the new dining table set.

the happiest of all - mum pays all!! hahaha... :0

waiting for beng beng to come pick me up to the airport. we'll be fetching keon keon and adam later at 9.00pm. i'm so excited, so so so... happy. i think i'd be in tears of excitement when i see them later. never thought they could make it back home for my wedding. i know that they have something else to settle here but i'm still happy that they arrange it at this time. keon keon... i love you!!

*** waiting happily ***

i'm now at beng beng's house. haiya... this keon keon ar... flight arrival at 8.40pm but told us 8.15pm. luckily beng beng checks the flight arrival on internet. if not... we gonna be spiderwomen. hahaha...

4 days to go

i'm moving forward to a new beginning. i want a better life ahead and i started with a new blog layout. thanks to wendy in helping me choosing the new template, colours and fonts.

does it look like a happy wonderland now? this is where i'm heading to... a pinkish, bright and happy scenery. hmm... so innocence and romantic... : )

i feel that hubby is not treating me as good as last time. i truly understand that a relationship may not maintained at a same level as it grows. the longer the relationship goes, the looser it'd be, a person may not always be doing his 101%. i understand, i understand...

love shouldn't be calculated, it's shouldn't be in the mathematics, hypothesis or physics syllabus. instead it should be unconditional. but... if really wanna make it into the mathematics, mine is like dropping to 80% and has never rose sinceafter. i can feel it dropping...

hmm... perhaps i think too much, especially at this critical point of time. will always think what would happen if we quarrel, if we fight, if we have something important to decide but we can't reach an agreement and lots more... i really think too much.

have immediately shared this with hubby but he didn't react much. i just simply said... actually didn't expect him to give feedback. hmm... don't know what i'm thinking and what i want. wanted to share this with him, hoped that he would treat me better but didn't wanna tell him straight. telling him to do this and that for me makes me feel that the things that he does are actually on my commands and not sincere at all!!

I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. but... he is kinda 'mm sing muk'... makes me mad!!!

collected my photo album and gowns this afternoon. phew... at last... : )

all my dearie friends - please be patient ya. photos are waiting for you guys to choose : )

Monday, November 3, 2008

5 days to go

everyone that i know seems awaiting for my photo album. at last, today is the day for picking up. yeah yeah!!! but... waitaminute...

deow deow deow deow... it's closed today. aiya... sia-sia we went there.

thought of going to sunway pyramid but later changed my mind to mid valley. just because of the hot hot hotaweather and the failed mission, i changed my mind again. out of frustration, my choice was to stay at home : (

watched a movie at hubby's house - the movie was about gigolos being killed by a mysterious killer. it was so funny and 18sx. there were some striping scenes but i didn't feel that they were sexy as the humours covered all. perhaps hubby purposely switch on the movie and wanted to make it a hot & sexy afternoon for both of us but... sorry-lah... i ruined it. it was really funny. hahaha... couldn't help burst out laughing... lol...

hmm... yesterday daryl asked me if i still need anything for my new room. yeah yeah yeah... i still need a 42 inches plasma tv & ps3. as for myself, i want a prada, ferragamo, burberry and so on... straightaway he turned his back to me... 'f**k'!!! hahaha...

6 days to go

had a lunch meeting with kiat and beng, discussing the games for my wedding day. we couldn't think of many. in the end, we came up with only 6 simple games, just to add on some excitements to the day. we didn't thought of those games that mean harms and tortures to them. just simply for some fun and laughters.

'honey, need not to worry. for sure, i'll protect you. hehehe...'

did some shopping after the discussion. bought a bottle of brush cleaner and eyelash adhesive from my favourite brand, shu uemura, a shirt from communique and a bottle of shampoo from hairback. there and then i discovered and realised that money is never enough. kakaka...

i always have a problem putting on fake eyelashes for long hours. the eyelashes would just drop and i guess the problem was with the glue. my skin is oily basically, even the waterproof mascara would drop after a few hours. got to know this shu eyelash adhesive from a friend, who is now in the beauty line. she was having the same problem as mine and she is now free from it by using this adhesive. borrowed from her once and found that this thingy really worked. since i'll be on fake eyelashes for my wedding, might as well i buy it myself. the motivation behind the purchase is still the price-lah... definitely i won't buy it if it cost me for than rm50. well, it's only rm30 and here it is in my cosmetic pouch. oops... it's not a pouch anymore. it's now a makeup toolbox. hahaha...

tomorrow i need to go to sharon urgently as there are some serious breakouts on my face. a week to go and my skin is still misbehaving. i'm so worried... and at the same time, also knowing that the more i worry the worse it will be. but i just can't stop worrying about it. hoping so much that it'll get better in these few days.

tomorrow will be another exciting day as i'll be collecting my photo album. wondering how good or bad it could be...

wondering where to go for the few last shopping around... kakaka... i've been reading too many episodes of the shopaholics...

another long night as i'm thinking too much... too much...

Saturday, November 1, 2008

7 days to go

the weather is so damn warm today. it's like 40 degrees celcius. oh my gosh... i'm sweating for the whole day.

woke up in sweat, drove mum to the market in sweat, waited in sweat for wendy to fetch us to breakfast in sweat, had breakfast in sweat, bathed and later in sweat again, waited in sweat for the time to go over to hubby's house, did tidying in sweat, went to wendy's house in sweat, watched tv in sweat, just bathed and i'm now in sweat again. these are the things that i did today and everything i did was in sweat. oh my gosh... can you imagine that? even the 16 degrees celcius, strongest non-swing air cond can't beat the heat.

cassey, wendy and i went off to hubby's house at 1.00pm. today is my 'gah zhong' day. so many things that i needed to bring over... my clothings were already 2 big luggages and moreover, there were bed linen and a set of basins that we needed to bring along. luckily i had cassey and wendy with me.

we reached hubby's house about an hour later. in such a heaty weather, the sun was like burning on us, the air cond was like not working, we were so frustrated, we didn't talk much in the journey.

once we reached there, we still needed to wait for my parents-in-law to do the bed setting ceremony. my father-in-law was disappear, didn't know to where, made us more frustrated. the best thing was we still needed to act like nothing and sincerely smile to my mum-in-law, saying that we were willing to wait for him to come back.

luckily, the bed setting didn't take long. we started unpacking everything, put on the bed linen and throwing my things into the wardrobe. hubby was so kind to help me throwing out my clothings from the luggages to the floor. thanks, so much...

in the end, i needed to thank him too for making the effort to put on the curtain, stick up all the 'hei's and cleaning up the mess. phew... at last, we've finished with the room and it is now ready for visiting. yeah yeah... our 'ngoi chau' is ready...

thought that hubby would spend dinner with me but he gotta a date with his buddies. didn't wanna be controlling too much, i let him go this time. i 'ta bao' kfc, went to wendy's house and had my dinner with him. she was alone at home. pity her... luckily she promised to send me home. if not, i'd be staying at home, facing all naggings and i'd be as pity as her : (

i'm too tired now... gotta go to bed. good night...

Friday, October 31, 2008

8 days to go

waking up later than 6.30am is so good... i wished i could wake up at 8.30am every morning :pp

feeling fresh and energetic, i made myself a nice breakfast - nissin instant noddle and old town white coffee. hahaha... so long i didn't have instant noodle for breakfast. yum yum... : )

went for the last facial before my wedding. sharon has loaned me lots of makeup stuff. so many... i couldn't remember all their usages. i hope may (the makeup artiste) knows how to use them. talking about make up... makeup really makes wonders. before and after effect is so much in difference. i need to pick up more makeup tips and learn the basic makeup. although i will soon get promoted to auntie status, i wanna be an up-to-date beautiful auntie. hehehe... :ppp

i'll need to do the final packing later for tomorrow 'gah zhong' day. have finished packing up clothes and need to check if there's any left outs. too sad that i need to leave all my cds behind. too many that i can't bring them over. sob sob...

Thursday, October 30, 2008

9 days to go

feeling so good today, need not to work. so relieved and relaxed...

my natural alarm rang me up at 6.30am causing me walking here and there, don't know what to do. suddenly mum said that she isn't feeling well. quickly i drove her to a clinic in the neighbourhood. haiyo... the doctor was like an old nanny, talked so... much. mum was in the room for almost an hour, just to consult on fever and cough. i left home with an empty stomach and i can't actually stand hunger. i started 'fatt merng jerng' luckily mum was ready to go by that time.

the best time in the day was when i reached shu eumura's counter in pavillion. my shopaholic attitude comes back, sekaligus, i bought hundreds ringgit stuff. fortunately today hubby's mood is good, he promises to reimburse me. kakaka... isn't it the best time in the day?

had a short meet up with carmen ling, han, mun and karen. everyone looks so different - mun cuts her hair short, karen perms her hair, han is a little pumped up and carmen is a bit slimmer. had a great chat although only for less than 1 hour. mission accomplished - invitation cards are out.

took out my 555 notebook this evening to settle the bill with mum. without realising the fact that i've spent more than rm1,000.00 just for the bed setting and part of the catering session, i was really in shock when i saw the figures shown on the calculation. haa... so much-meh!! sigh... heartache-tim...

i continued my spring cleaning later on and my luggage is getting more and bigger. have not actually finished packing up but i was so tired classifying which to bring over and which to leave behind. looks like i need to bring all my things over, everthing seems useful to me.

just had my dinner and i'm so full now. aah... i need eno...

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

10 days to go

'hi and congratulations!' - this was from a florist who i saw in the market this morning.
'hi and congratulations! for sure i'll come this friday night for the catering.' - this was from a neighbour who i saw this evening.

no no no... you all get me wrong. not this friday but the next two week's.

just got a call from alex, saying that he can't make it to the catering on next saturday.

no no no... alex, you get me wrong. not next saturday but the next two week's.

but this blur alex corrected me - it's next saturday, my dearest. it's on 8th november, right?

eik... oh no... rupa-rupanya, i'm the blur queen. oh gosh... never expected it will be so soon... next friday, next saturday and next sunday... 11 days to go... the way time flies really horrifies me...

11 days to go for my wedding, 11 days to go to be officially called mrs. cheah, 11 days to go to be permanently living in jalan kuching, 11 days to go... aah...

just came back from nyam cha with alicia and june tan. hahaha... my stomach almost burst out laughing, couldn't stop laughing when talking and listening to them. they were really funny, man... we talked about our bfs, our love experiences, the gifts that we presented to the other half, we shared other brides' 'ji mui' photos and lots more. what a memorable night...

yeah yeah... will be starting my long holiday tomorrow. gotta meet up with carmen ling, han, mun and karen for lunch, do a little shopping and meet up with buddies for dinner and nyam cha. oooh... song-ar!!!

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

11 days to go

another day to go for my long holidays. yeah yeah yeah...

i'm so exciting - i guess it's because of the long holiday. oops... any my big day too (sshhh... hubby is reading. must give big face to him, must show how long i've waited for my big day, how much i wanted to be his wife. hehehe...)

lately, there are so much quarellings happen at home. over small and big things, over almost everything. sometimes, i feel guilty for being the cause for all the scoldings and yellings. i know they want to do their best for my big day. but at the same time, they are actually ruining my arrangements. doing the best but causing the worst is the worst thing of all and this is now happening to me and perhaps to us.

sigh... asked dad to prepare the seating arrangement and he keeps on delaying it. i just too afraid when the lunch comes, all the guests are blur... don't know where their seats are. can foresee that i won't be able to usher them, wendy and cassey will definitely need to be receptionists, collecting angpows, mum of cause won't be able to do anything, she, herself is blur enough and dad will only know to be an 'instructor'. when we ask him where the guests' seats are - for sure, he'll answer 'i don't know-ar... you all suppose to do ge-mah... aiya, ask me pulak... that's why i said... should have done this way... you all don't listen to me... blah blah blah...'

i know him too well... yeah yeah yeah... he's my dad... sigh sigh sigh... how to make him understand that this little arrangement is actually very importany? he just can't understand a word i say.

Monday, October 27, 2008

12 days to go

as expected, today is a day which full of quarrellings, yellings, screamings... the whole family is pointing at each other, biting our teeth, banning ideas...and so on... today is a mad cow day for me. everyone's a bull and cow...

we back to teluk intan in the early morning, purposely to give out invitation cards and biscuits to the remaining relatives. just don't know why my family couldn't get along together. we couldn't work out a simple thing together. there must be something wrong in between which ended up fighting among ourselves. perhaps this is why we are a family!!

my shoutout of the day...
TIRED!!!

13 days to go - guo dai lei

everyone was so busy this morning, preparing for the 'guo dai lei'...

1. coconuts - set!!
2. 5 coloured beans - set!!
3. orange flavoured soft drink - set!!
4. 'pin pak' leaves - set!!
5. 'buah pinang' - set!!
6. 'lin ji', 'bak hap' & longan - set!!
7. pink guava - set!!
8. bowls with chopsticks and spoons - set!!
9. lotus plant - erm erm erm... where was the lotus plant?

quickly wendy drove dad to the market to get a lotus plant. luckily managed to get it. phew...

hubby and the siblings arrived at around 10.00am, with hundred and one stuff in their hands - fruits, cakes, biscuits, 'pin pak' leaves, liquor and 'mas kahwin'... could see from their faces, there must be something not very happy happened before they came. i think should be the mum-in-law AGAIN. sigh... 'suen-lah'... she is like that 'ge-lah'...

prayers prayers and prayers...

to me, the whole picture of this 'guo dai lei' is receiving and returning gifts - you give me and i give you back. why can't we just skip this session? 'give lei yau give hui', so meaningless. so waste of time too...

the session ended at around 11.30am and followed with the arrival of relatives. i haven't seen some of them for quite some time... since years ago... happy to see them here just for me. we talked, we laughed, we shared, we joked all the way... being the one in the centre of attraction made me feel so uneasy. i have not been one before. everyone was talking about me, teasing on me. at times, i didn't know how to react their jokes and questions. i just laughed and smiled things over. luckily they didn't continue to talk about the jokes or question me. i'm an ostrich today. hahaha...

spent half of the day giving out biscuits to friends and relatives. luckily it wasn't me who did the driving. thanks to cassey for being the driver of the day. gee... **happy**

just came back from the family dinner. so tired... so tired...

ring ring... a call from mum-in-law just now. she apologized iover the phone that she has forgotten to bring over the pair of earrings, which she bought earlier for me. hahaha... she is always the careful one, how come this time so 'sert chak'?? i could imagine how blur she was and how 'luen sui' the morning was.

another tiring day tomorrow... need to leave for teluk intan to give out more biscuits to more relatives. and luckily... i'm not the one who drives. thanks to cassey again. the best driver of the year. kakaka... thanks, big sis!!

gotta go shower now... i'm a salted fish now... :pp

14 days to go... furniture day

a little late tonight. at last my tiredness ended - a minute ago.

woke up quite early today as i need to pick up my 'gah jong' things from the shop and wait for my bed, wardrobe and bedside table to come. quite exciting while waiting for the furniture - my new room is taking a step ahead to completion. after picking up my 'gah jong' we headed back home happily, awaiting for the furniture to reach us @ 2pm. who knows...

m****rf**ker!!! we waited till 4.30pm for the furniture. i didn't know what happened in between and i didn't wanna bother about it. so long, as last they arrived in nice pieces. it took about 2 hours to install the wardrobe and bed. it's okay... although we couldn't wait yet we have waited for hours.

we actually brought our worries to the 'furniture-man' - our room is too small but we have ordered a 6 feet width wardrobe. we only noticed later that it will block all the switches - the lamp, air conditioner and alarm switch. he suggested us to cut a hole at the back of the wardrobe, so that we could get to the switches. although it is troublesome, it is the best way to resolve the problem. we were so happy that he could help us and we thought everything'll work in this way.

the hole is really an a**hole. the measurements are not in place - we could only reach 1 1/2 of the switches. the workmanship is sucks - the cutting is like zig zag. the more i look at the a**hole, the more i feel like killing the 'furniture-man'. it doesn't turn up to be the way we thought it would be. not at all...!! moreover, the cutting spoils the board. and what do think the clever guy did? he coloured the part with a marker. oh gosh... it looks even uglier. not only that, the clever man left three partition board at the shop. and he even asked us to go collect them by ourselves. what kinda service is this??? **marah giler ni!!! my blood is boiling**

i complained like hell but surprisingly hubby didn't voice out a thing. normally, he is the one who complains more. am i being too fussy, nasty or am i becoming an auntie who nags at almost everything? oh no... i don't wanna be there yet.

but no matter what, whether i am or not an auntie yet, i made my complain to the 'furniture-man'... really 'beh-tahan' with the outcome. with my malaysian thinking, what the 'furniture-man' will do? what will us do if he do nothing? nothing-loh... ended up no one did anything, all of us did nothing.

luckily we still have kiat and bui to accompany us for the greatest dinner - bagulolo!! our mood was getting better then... i'm now totally in a perfect mood and a little exciting for tomorrow cos it's gonna be the 'guo dai lei' day.

i was busy preparing for tomorrow session - wrapping, 'ribboning' and arranging things to be sent over to the in-law. everyone in the family was so blur, don't know which and which for the 'guo dai lei' abd bed setting. at last, we decided to pack, ribbon and arrange two to worry leaving anything behind. kekeke...

gotta sleep earlier tonight as i need to send dad to the market to collect the steamed cake and lotus plant. **wondering if i can sleep well tonight. too tired and exciting**

15 days to go

didn't manage to continue with my blog yesterday night. ended up at hubby's home - just to cut out all the troubles for him to come fetch me tonight. and to save me from driving - need to fully enjoy when he still willing to drive me around and i'm still empowered to ask him to do so... kekeke...

got to know that the connection is back in action. quickly i try logging in and here i am...

at last, i got one out from the so many missions left behind. have given out all invitation cards to colleagues this morning. funny to see them discussing how to be there, who will be in whose cars, where to meet up, what time to start the journey from PD and so on... thanks to look and ai sun for taking charge of the car pool. heard that grace and yee ling couldn't make to come to the wedding luncheon, a sad thing though. hmm... not to say a bad thing but more to 'wei herm'-lah.

just have a quick review on all the blogs posted - day by day, word by word... and i realised one thing - my blogs are getting shorter and shorter. am i getting lazier to write or are my days getting bored and more bored down the road?

but i'm so proud that i'm still writing as i'm well known of my 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam' character. kekeke... proud that i have some followers. happy to have known the people around me writing blogs. happy to have motivated the people around me who didn't have a blog and started one now. happy to have shared the moments with them discussing how to make our blogs more lively and attractive.

i rewind my mind back to last week when i was doing the shoppings with mum-in-law and fong fong. i saw so many young mothers with their children, playing around happily. the picture was so clear till late night and i was so envy of them. i thought of having my own baby immediately and i'm sure that i'll learn and try my best to be the 'bestest' mum.

after a deep thought... i think i'm not ready to be a mum yet. i'm not willing to sacrifice my slim body that everyone says good. i'm not willing to sacrifice my time spent with hubby and buddies. i'm not willing to stay and wake up at nights. i'm not willing to take up the responsibilities of being a mum yet. this is too burden for me. and yes, i admit it, i'm selfish...

having a baby is really a long term plan - to feed, to raise, to educate, to be financially stable... everything needs patience and tolerance. i have not enough of these. i'm just too emotional, not a good quality and certified mum, i guess. hahaha... **walking away and putting the topic aside**

i think i gotta complete the invitation cards thingy by tonight. always telling myself that i'm gonna finish this by tonight but ended up 'esok... lusa...'
