HeCTiC HoLiDaY

Had the most hectic days off back in KK this time. Of coz, as everyone should know by now, it's coz we went on to start our wedding preparations. Here's a brief summary of how we spent our 10 days in KK:

Day 1: Arrived in the late afternoon, had "late lunch + early dinner" at home. After dinner, went out to 1Borneo.

Day 2: Went to Karamunsing for a haircut & treatment in the afternoon, then followed by the 1st nite of the Pre-marriage talk that is compulsory for us to attend.

Day 3: Stayed at home in the afternoon to catch up on TVB series "Last One Standing" & played Wii with my dear baobei. Attended Pre-marriage talk session 2.

Day 4: Spent the afternoon at Centrepoint & Warisan Square. Had our 'must-have' Yoyo drinks. Final session of the pre-marriage talk in the evening.

Day 5: Went out for yum cha with dim sum at Foo Phin (Penampang) with Dad, Mum & Baobei. Played Wii the whole afternoon & dinner at Poppea Garden @ City Mall.

Day 6: Had Ngau Chap at Damai, followed by a little visit to the newly renovated KKIA. Had a look at Le Meridien's Bridal Fair. Surveyed & enquired on the packages that they had to offer. There was bridal shows, mock table set-ups of different themes, complimentary finger food & juices were served, too. Went to Likas Square for abit of grocery shopping & followed by dinner @ 1Borneo's KFC.

Day 7: Wanted to meet up with Uncle Anthony to confirm having him & Aunt Celine as our marriage witness. However, got a surprise when I was told that the whole family is in Gold Coast on holiday visiting my cousin studying there. But had a fruitful afternoon talking through some wedding preparations with Small Ah Yee..& besides that, had my eyelashes permed ;) Had dinner at Poppea Garden once again..I have a feeling this restaurant will be one of our family favourite from now on.

Day 8: Woke up early, anticipating the interview with the priest that is also a necesary step as we prepare for a Catholic wedding. Was nervous at first, but thankfully we had a nice & easy-going priest. He joked & made us feel at ease. The interview went well & all that's left to be done is just..SET THE WEDDING DATE! Spent the afternoon going to Sutera Harbour & Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort to enquire on their wedding packages. Was happy to meet up with an old classmate Junei working at Sutera Harbour, who is a mother of 2 already! I had better catch up fast...hehehe

Day 9: Mummy Darling's birthday. She wanted a day off from cooking. So we only had Maggi Mee for lunch followed by dinner at Gaya Sports. The food was as usual, delicious..Baobei ate more than she usually does, which is very rare. Met an old classmate Phyllis just as we were about finished with dinner. Had a little catch up talk with her. Later on, went to buy a ready-made cheesecake for mum, which eventually, turned out to be a combination of birthday celebration for mummy & baobei. They were both happy..so were the rest of us..:)

Day 10: Time to leave..had breakfast at Kuo Min famous for its fish cake & ngau chap noodles. However, the quality has dropped. Was not satisfied with it at all. Checked in at the airport & this is the one & only time tha I didn't cry AT ALL coming back to KL..(well, of coz that's because mummy darling will be coming over in 2 weeks..hehe)

ipoH GiFt

In my previous blog, I talked about going to Ipoh & by the time I'm done over there, I'll be on my way back home to KK. But before that, let me share something with you.

I reached back at Genting at around 2 o'clock in the morning. Dada was at the lobby to welcome me & carry my stuff back to our room. Then as I open the door, there's something waiting for me again! You know what is it?? A portrait of ME!! But the degree of likeness is only around 90%. I look MUCH prettier in person...wahahaha...

What a nice & thoughtful gift..something that I didn't expect at all. Dada said he'll buy me a gift to welcome me back each time I'm away on those WorldCard Fairs. Well..but nothing beats having Dada by my side. I don't wish to be away from him at all... :(

oFF to IPoH

Before I even have time to spend properly with Dada, I'll be off to Ipoh again for yet another fair...sigh..

But looking at the bright side, after I'm back from this trip, I'll be off with Dada to be back in KK for our pre-marriage talk..yippee...then it'll be a full throttle of events leading to our wedding..which we still have yet to set the date...hehe. Of course, not forgetting..being home with my beloved family..Daddy, Mummy, BaoBei & Dada..HOME..going home feels soooo good!

With all these sweet, wonderful things happening, nothing will ever ruin my mood. I actually won't give a damn about anything that will stop me from enjoying the best time in my life. The stage where one only goes through once...with the one I love, who also loves me back equally, or even MORE..Whatever we do, it's for OUR future...

Here's to our future..forever & ever 1314, for better or worse, till death do us part.. (warning: this is NOT my official wedding vow, OK..)

Hi, I'M BacK fRoM MeLaKa..

Arrived back in Genting quite late from Melaka, around 3 in the morning. Just in time to watch the last few laps of the 2008 last F1 race. Can't believe what really happened in the last lap of the race! How could it happen? I bet you most of the Ferrari fans out there couldn't believe it too! & to me, there should be some investigations done on what actually happened there..looks fishy & suspicious..

Anyway, away from the F1 world, which is beyond my control..Had a crazy weekend working at the fair in Melaka. The response was better than I expected. I'm glad & proud of it! Didn't have time to actually shop around, which was a shame as it has actually been around 5-6 years since my last visit to Melaka.

Need not to say, there wasn't time to pick a really nice gift for Dada. But I found this, which is actually nice, cute & meaningful all together. It's a box of Lou Po Beng & Lou Kong Beng. So cute, I couldn't resist to get it. (But don't expect me to eat it though..haha)..& you know how I managed to get it on those really, really busy days? On my way to toilet, the stall selling this caught my eye, then after I'm finished with my business in the toilet, I picked up a box on my way back to our booth. Hahaha...Poor thing..but better than nothing...Dada loves Lou Po Beng...& I got 2 boxes of pineapple tarts for him as well...see..he's always on my mind..I really love & miss him

Lou Po Beng + Lou Kong Beng
Back home in 1818, Dada gave me a surprise, which is quite sweet too. The laptop was on with a note on the screen for me. It says: No arrows this time but look behind the door..I turned to see a cute heart-shaped decoration with a WELCOME & a little house. It's telling me that I'm HOME. It is welcoming me back to my home...so sweet..

But I don't like the Cristiano Ronaldo poster that it's hung on..Spoils the whole look... :-p

Welcome Home..
