Hi there...so sorry for my long absence. 2011 has been great thus far, busy, happy, loaded with work, loaded with carful of shopping goodies & spending happy, quality moments with Dada. Here's another pic, results of my ever-getting better shopping skills...or should say, ''never ever enough shopping''

sHop sHop sHop...But I NeVeR dRop..

2011-01-17T19:20:00.009+08:00

Every girl loves shopping & couldn't get enough of it isn't it?? SO I'm no different in this field. I just looove the word RETAIL-THERAPHY after some hard work...hehehe...So here are my recent splurges. I just LOOOOVE my (shopping) life!

Carried away to SHOP SHOP & SHOP!!

Shopping Day 1

2011-01-07T00:01:00.003+08:00

As everyone should know by now, I'm a shoe crazy fan!! I Loooove buying shoes & I have a SHOE WARDROBE of my own in our little home all to myself!! Here's my X'mas holidays shopping harvest...(minus 2 more pairs that I haven't got the chance to snap a pic...)

2 Flat ones...seldom buy these as I'm short..but they are cute & comfy!! Can't help it...
These were NEVER my type...till now..they make me look tall & best of all, they are so comfortable!!

2 from NOSE...more my usual type & cool enough for any occasions..

These are from VINCCI...the BLUE flats are a NO NO for short ppl like me..but then the colour is really nice & SHARP..don't mind being my actual ''size & height'' once in a while..

We FiNaLLy MOVED IN!!!

2010-11-27T00:11:00.003+08:00

YES!! The auspicious date was 18th November 2010 that we officially moved in! It's such a nice feeling to have a REAL HOME to go back to! Here's the place where we're going to build our family! So, I'll let everyone have a little peek at our place as I decided not to upload pics of every corner of our modest little home. Just to reserve some privacy for ourselves & the ''copyrights'' on our home furnishings & designs as I noticed there are LOTS of COPYCATS around! Hate it! Go get your own ideas, OK!

I love every bit & corner of our HOME...Da..I love you..thanks for everything!!

2010-11-05T02:39:00.004+08:00

I know...I have not updated on our "Project Love Nest" for quite a while...but it doesn't mean that there's nothing done to it...here's a little update...we're planning to move in soon...on an auspicious date...hehehe...

The entrance~~with a little 'old-fashioned' light ~~ loooove it!! ~ Did you see the CCTV at the top right hand corner?? So, don't play-play & fool around near MY HOUSE!

U know what this is?? Hmmm...my SHOES WARDROBE!! Thanks, Da..:)

My wardrobe in the master bedroom..mine..all mine~~~la la la....

A sneak peek of the dining table lights & living room area..

I looooove my kitchen tiles!! (But it doesn't mean that I will be the one doing the cooking..hahaha)

LonG aBaNDoNeD Wii BacK to LiFe

2010-10-27T23:44:00.004+08:00

We bought the Nintendo Wii set somewhere in 2008. Then, for the whole of 2009, we were soooo damn busy preparing for the Wedding of the Year that we didn't even touch it at all. I have long wished for a Balance Board to play Wii Fit when it was HOT in the market...but then...it was only till TODAY...27th October 2010 that I finally get it. Sigh~~~poor me, so OUT..haha...nevertheless, better late than never. So...let's hope that we'll eventually be FITTER playing our outdated Wii Fit...

2010-10-26T00:30:00.006+08:00

Was back in KK for a week & happened to spend more than I can earn in a week! Sigh~~ here's the result of my spendings:-

Iphone4 for HIM & HER...of coz...as we're an IN couple...how can we NOT own one each??
Clothes, clothes & more clothes...from various outlets...my favourite?? 东Touch in Wisma Merdeka...hahaha

Sasa, Sasa & Sasa...everywhere..as long as there's SALES...I always have room for more facial masks, beauty & skincare..

Shoes for WORK from my favourite outlet: PRIMAVERA...to make me feel MOTIVATED to dress up & get to work!!

2010-10-07T00:23:00.004+08:00

Hi there...I have a new target again! Was browsing LV Website & found this in the Multicolor range..(which I have yet to own one...). Above all reasons to have this is: this model is called ANNIE!!! My Mummy Darling's name!! How can I NOT have it, right?? As I told Dada, it will make me feel like I have mummy by my side all the time!! Hahahhaa...what an EXCELLENT EXCUSE...right?? So, it's in my MUST BUY list! Thanks, Da!

As I have blogged before, I love to attend weddings. Hence, when 16th September came, I made sure I finish my work on time & left office ASAP to come back & prepare myself. Make up, dress, bag, shoes & everything else were planned well ahead so that I can meet up with my high school friends! Enjoyed the evening very much, especially catching up with Howard & Bee Ling...the wedding photos were lovely as well as the speech given by the groom's dad, giving us lessons on 'HOW TO MAINTAIN A SUCCESSFUL & HAPPY MARRIAGE'. It was overall an enjoyable night, except for a little 'incident'. Anyway, Congrats, Siew Leng...& Eugene!

WatCH it!

2010-09-21T00:06:00.007+08:00

Since young, watches have always been one of my favourite accessories that I like to play with. Fashionable, long-wearing & keeps me 'professionally on time'...So that's why I love them & would never be caught going out without a watch on my wrist! Over the years, mum & dad have showered me with lots of watches. I remember: Colourful digital watches, a wood watch from Hong Kong, a Garfield "Pisces"watch, Baby-G, G-Shock, a Blue Carlo Rino watch & many, many more! I am truly blessed...right?? I thank God everyday for that...Love you, mum & dad!

Now, as I grow older & earn my own $$, my love for watches have never ended, but instead; it has grown even more! In just 2 months, I have added 4 new watches to my collection! In July, I got 2 TITUS watches back in KK, then today, I got another 2 ESPRIT watches! I know! I'm crazy, but I just can't help it!

#1: TITUS ~ Rose Gold with Coral Surface

#2: TITUS also...in WHITE (my favourite colour!) & with a lot of bling blings..
#3: ESPRIT ~ with brown snake skin, a color that I have never had..& loving it!
#4: ESPRIT - Silver & Gold Combo..classy & nice! (just like me..haha)
#5: Well, since it's Dada's birthday month, got another one for him too - just being the 'good wife' that I AM...hahaha...as long as everyone's happy..:)

My 幸福。。

2010-09-15T23:05:00.005+08:00

Only & as long as when I'm with Dada...I believe...my next stop, every stop, no matter we stop or not...I'll always be 幸福。。So happy to find this waiting for me when I reached Genting after 2 weeks of continuos NATAS + MATTA Fair...LOVE YOU SO MUCH, DA....how I wish you can be like REN GUANG XI....wuahahhaha...nonetheless, I'll always love you..forever & ever!

OK, latest news that I got in the Singapore LV store on Orchard Road...according to the sales assistant, it's not coming out anymore...so it's now kinda like 'Limited Edition'...so, it means: I DESPERATELY WANNA GET IT!!! But dunno when?? :( I hope it's gonna be soon...in the colour that I want...hehehe

WhAt's mY neXt LV goNNa Be??

2010-08-22T15:16:00.003+08:00

I think this will be my next LV target...haha...I have yet to have a SPEEDY..So, this is probably one of the best target for Speedy. Actually, 30 is kinda too big for me. Would prefer the 25, but then they do not have 25 in this range. Too bad...have decided to look for it in S'pore when I'm there for NATAS Fair. If it's cheaper there (after conversion to Ringgit), then I will JUST DO IT. Charge it to my credit card, pls...thanks!

Monogram Idylle ~ Speedy 30 (but I haven't decided I want it in Pink or Blue?)

It's always a feel good day when you get to spend $$ lavishly buying the things that you looove...right?? Hehe...so, it's one of those days today when Dada brought me down to KL shopping after he came back from work in the late afternoon.

My harvest for the day?? Hmm...have a look:

LV!!! Yes, yet another LV coz I told Dada I need an EVENING BAG for all the weddings that we'll be attending soon! (what en excuse, eh?? hehe)
Just happened to walk past & fell in love with these...it has been ages since I last bought a pair of reeeeally nice earrings...so, I got 2 pairs at one go! Loooove it!

2010-08-12T22:15:00.005+08:00

Yippeee...finally!! I have several weddings to attend & most importantly MOTIVATE myself to keep fit!!! I'm so excited!! Here's the line-up:

16th Sept: Siew Leng's Wedding (Location: Kuala Lumpur) ~ a highschool classmate of mine who used to sit beside me in class..have not seen her for more than 10 years!! Don't know her husband, but I'm sure she has found her Mr Right..:)

18th Nov: Leax & Chyi San's Wedding (Location: Kuala Lumpur) ~ both colleagues at work whom both me & Dada have on & off been working with since the very first day we work here. Happy for them too...though they can NEVER be the celebrity couple like US...hehehe! But, being someone who remembers people who have done good things to me & determine to do good to others in return, they helped us during our wedding, soooo it's PAY BACK time! Have promised them to just say the word & we'll certainly do it for them in return..:) sincerely..from the heart...

11th Dec: Anderson's Wedding (Location: Miri) ~ the ONLY friend who has the honour of ME..yes..ME, the LCLY Marketing & Management Princess back in our Curtin days to fly all the way to Miri to attend his wedding!

19th Dec: Gigi's Wedding (Location: Kuala Lumpur) ~ a funny & 38 friend + colleague at work. well, happy for her too...although we have never been overly close friends. Well...well...she attended our wedding too...& I'm sure it was sincerely from her heart too, when she congratulated us that very night...so, I wanna be there for her too!

So..here's the agenda for the time being. Shall update if we happen to receive more invitations..so happy for all of them! I wanna spread the wedding bliss....OUR wedding bliss...to all of them. Welcome to the HAPPILY MARRIED COUPLES' CLUB, people!

Vanness wu -Listen to your heart MV

2010-08-07T05:11:00.000+08:00

Found this video after surfing the NET on interesting news about Vanness Wu (which I have fallen in love with for the time being) after watching Taiwanese series 下一站幸福 recommended by (of all people, Daddy dear! Can you believe it?? Hahaha...my dad is more IN than me!!) Nice song! Although should be quite old by now. Still, it's nice & he looked good in it! & best of all, today happens to be his birthday! Haha...such a coincidence! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 吴健豪，or rather 任光晞！(his character name in the series...haha)

2010-08-05T22:39:00.004+08:00

While I'm still on leave, had another great (productive) shopping day today. Bought more make up essentials, skincare products & health food. Yeah..health food...so unlike me, hoh? This time, I have really decided & determined to live, sleep & work healthily + (most importantly beautifully) always. Coz as what I said to Dada, I wanna live longer to love him & be loved by him in this lifetime. Awwww...so sweet, eh? So, here's the harvest for today:

From Eu Yan Sang: Spirulina for HIM & Bird's Nest for ME! Hehe..

From ~H2O+: Bought it based on recommendation from a friend, so I heard..it's good for hydrating the skin..as if feeding your skin with 8 glasses of water! Let's hope so! I was told that I need to hydrate, hydrate & hydrate (to keep wrinkles away)!!

Alright...more make up!! A girl just can't have enough!
~~Love the eyeshadow shades there, the highlight powder, glitter liquid eyeliner + glitter gel to glam up the evening look. Also, there's the bronzer (actually a blusher) used to tone down 'some' areas of my face. Of coz, there's also BB cream (which girl can live without it nowadays??) + lastly, Bio-essence Hydrating Sleeping Mask which I heard will help to lock in moisture & keep your skin hydrated while you sleep..let's hope they all work their magic on ME!~~

tHe Sh0ppiNG QueeN is BacK!

2010-08-03T17:34:00.004+08:00

Oh yeah...after hard work, comes hard-earned money, then comes easily spent...hahaha...cést la vie, isn't it? Alway ready for a good deal & with the Malaysia Mega Sales everywhere, I can't help but transform into the shopaholic that has not been out from the bottle for quite a while.

Here goes my $$ for today:

3 pairs of NEW SHOES in one breath! Woohoo..
SaSa..SaSa..SaSa..always my favourite cosmetics & skincare outlet! Left the place with Dada's wallet bleeding...

Have been so busy lately with projects after projects that I hardly got time for Dada, our Europe trip research, as well as our Project Love Nest under construction at the moment. Hopefully, our house renovation is hopefully in good hands as Dada has been going up & down to ensure everything is in order & to convey my messages & expectations to the workers. Let's hope I'll like everything that I see when I finally get to go down & have a look. **fingers crossed**

My 2011 taRGet

2010-07-11T03:35:00.004+08:00

Yes, I am determined to fulfill a dream that I have all along...since a little girl...to travel to Europe! I just suddenly wanna STOP DREAMING & make it a reality. Spoke to Dada & he totally agreed! So, we set a target, & plan the trip to be sometime next year. I am starting to search & search & search everyday planning for our dream vacation which will be also be our outstanding HONEYMOON trip. Stay tuned for updates...:) Gosh...I'm sooo excited! Wish I can get on the plane ASAP!

So LoNg...So LonG...

2010-07-09T14:50:00.003+08:00

Yes indeed! It has been quite, quite, quite a while since I last blogged. Well, probably because there's nothing really interesting to blog about.

Recently, it's all about work, work, work & more work. Transferring to this new section got me opportunites to learn new things, which I loooove! Hence, I wasn't the least bit reluctant when I have more & more stuff added into my portfolio. Great!

In a way, I feel honoured that I have been given the opportunities & will definitely try my very best in every task given. I don't mind working hard, I don't mind having more stuff to do than others...BUT I REALLY DO MIND whether my superiors acknowledge & appreciate my efforts. OK! I don't mind to 做牛做马 provided that I get the recognition & the reward after that. OK?? Do you hear me? Deal...

IKEA GooDies

2010-05-16T01:12:00.008+08:00

For the past 2 weeks or so, we went to IKEA couple of times to be 'inspired' by their ideas on home furnishing & goodies.

Besides planning for our little humble home, we also have a small unit in Genting to take care of & make it feel like as comfy as a home should be. So, we walked around & Dada threw all these into the shopping cart:

Item #1: Shoe rack just enough for my shoes for WORK only~~

Item #2: A set of organiser drawers for my accessories & make up kits!!

Item #3: A chest of drawers meaning ~ Room for more clothes!! yippee~~~

Happy MotHeR's DaY - PearL or DiaMonD?

2010-05-10T20:45:00.004+08:00

Yessss...as it's known worldwide, yesterday was Mother's Day. So, being the lovely daughter, I wanted to call mum 1st thing in the morning, right after I got off work (midnight shift). But then, wanting her to sleep in, didn't have the heart to wake her up as early as 7am.

So, I went back, took a shower & 'wasted' time FB-ing before picking up the phone to call her at 8am. But then, she didn't answer after 2 tries...so I gave up & went to bed.

Woke up at around 4.30pm & first thing in my mind that's UNDONE is to call her. So, I tried again & again, no answer. Then I tried calling Baobei's number instead. Baobei said she's home alone while mum took the day off playing mahjong at a friend's place. Baobei said she'll be back any minute coz daddy just went over to pick her up. So I chatted with Baobei, feeling deep inside that I miss them sooooo dearly! I have not been home since the BIG DAY!! & we're celebrating our 6-month Anniversary this 28th! Gosh!! Time really flies!

So, just as mummy stepped into the house, I got Baobei to pass the phone to her. Wished her Happy Mother's Day & told her I miss her...so so much! She said, "Miss you too, dear!" & then, this conversation between us was so nice, that I wanna remember it forever:

Me: Mum, can I ask u something? Am I your 掌上明珠?? (Got the idea from TVB's latest series)

Mum: What do you think is my answer, my dear?

Me: Errr....I think I'm not your 掌上明珠, but your 掌上钻石！！

Mum: Yessss!! You are right! You're always mummy's precious diamond!! Everyone knows..Even your Uncle John said that on your Wedding Day!

Awwww....so sweet....miss you & love you so so so very the muchie, Mama...See you next month!

As I have blogged previously, we got the keys couple of months back. & the renovation is coming up soon. The only problem is; we find it hard to save $$ fast enough for it...hahaha...

Anyway, have paid IKEA many trips recently for ideas. I roughly have an idea of what I want. Biasalah...as I've always been known for being determine, stubborn & wanting things MY WAY...hehe...anyway, here are some ideas that I like & thinking of how to incorporate all of it into my small modest little home:

Thinking of having this in the bedroom as my little cozy reading corner..with fur, cushion & a cup of coffee for a relaxing afternoon (with AIR CON on of coz!!) ~ but I want this in white as the blue clashes with our bedroom theme

Oh yes, a Princess Bed for nobody, nobody but ME!! I've always wanted this after watching TVB's 'Triumph in the Skies' - Fit for the PRINCESS in ME..hehe

Now the MOST important part of the bedroom of coz...is NONE other than my wardrobe..which will occupy the whole wall next to the bed...wuahahahaha....

We quite like this dining table..not too big, not too small & best of all, we can choose the colour of the chair according to our preference & theme..hope they still have it when we're ready to purchase...hehehe

Now, I want this little bar table for us to probably dine there as an alternative instead of the dining hall, which looks sorta empty & pitiful if it's just the 2 of us only..plus, it's kinda 'romantic' with dim lights on, or just candlelight; don't you think so?? Hehe..

April...instead of it being a FOOL month, it was a month of changes for me & us.

First of all, after being in th same position for 3 and a half years, I've decided that it's time to move on. No, not that outrageous to resign from my job, but to transfer to other sections. To learn new things & work in a new environment. Might not be healthier (as this new post requires me to work night shifts, which might sound bad for most people, BUT too bad, NOT FOR ME). Infact, I actually enjoy it. Coz I really hate routine work. I don't like coming in & going back at the same time EVERYDAY, sitting at the same place, seeing same faces and doing the same / similar stuff over & over again. So, I requested to move to another section & got it. Started on the 1st of this month, a new beginning & enjoying it so far. Though there are night shifts, but I don't mind at all coz it means having more time with Dada :)

Besides work, this month, we moved into a new unit of the same hostel building coz of Dada's promotion. So, imagine having to shift rooms when we were both working night shifts. Damn tiring! Even more so with all our possessions. After officially moving in on the 18th of the month, the place is still a mess. Clothes here, shoes there...we still haven't got time to really tidy up the place. Wait...just wait...we'll be on leave in a couple of days' time, so...hopefully something will be done about it...hehehe...

Hmm...I am just crazy about bags recently. And not that I purposely wanna look at branded ones but I just loooove this Chanel bag. I'm not sure about the price, or can say that I don't wanna know, or don't need to know. Of coz I'm not thinking of seriously getting it. Well, just let me have a look & keep thinking of it here...to satisfy my needs...(yeah, I know..it's a WANT, not NEED..hehe)

Nice?? I LOOOOOVE it

I have not spoken about this for quite some time, isn't it?? Well, it was because previously I was too occupied with other stuff & also partly because there wasn't much to update on our "Home Sweet Home" progress. But recently, the speed picked up & here's the update:

Remember waaaay back that I blogged about a cousin of mine wanting to migrate to Australia?? Well, he finally did, with his fiancee & it was so nice of them to have waited till after our wedding to do so. Coz, they played an important part in our wedding, being our BEST MAN & BRIDESMAID. It wasn't just any other title. It was a title that we all honoured & was most happy that they did it for us. Those happy moments that we shared will be in our hearts forever & we have a video that captured everything for us...right?? Hehe...

All the best, Ah Dee & Ah Sze...may God bless you both in this new chapter of your life. We'll visit you one day...in Sydney, a place that I have always wanted to go back to....:)

Today is my big day...yeah...it's my birthday! I get to be the queen for the day...(well, in fact I AM QUEEN everyday actually...haha). So, happy birthday to me..happy birthday to me...:)

Oh yeah, I did tell everyone that I'm celebrating my birthday in Gold Coast (courtesy of Dada), right? Yeah, so here I am..all the way from Aussie land...on our 2nd day already. Enjoying the sunshine & the lovely everything there is here...especially the hospitality of my lovely cousins..:) Will sign off abruptly here...as we'll be having an exciting day ahead of us tomorrow. So, I had better hit the sack early to prepare myself for a fun-filled day! Yippeee....shall blog about our trip Down Under when we get back to the boring miserable hill...meanwhile, I will enjoy myself to the fullest before going back to work..urghhh..haha!

2010-03-06T20:41:00.004+08:00

As you all should know by now, I'm kind of a Sasa fan. Have been splurging on beauty products offered there before our BIG DAY to ensure I look my best.

So, nearly 3 months gone & of coz I'm still shopping there for the best beauty products in the market! Surely, I need to ensure that I'm a LENG TAI (pretty Mrs), right...haha...On my recent trip there, found out that this month (March), they have a daily promotional item. WooooHooo...of coz I'll be shopping like crazy...hahaha...& they are giving out a lovely, girly-girly shopping bag after spending an XX amount..(I can't remember though..). Makes every girl a happy girl to shop there...right? Hehehe...

Met up with an old colleague today. We were previously at the same section in 2005-2006, then after that, went separate ways. Though we seldom meet up, but ONCE we meet up, everything is just like old times...we can gossip & gossip & gossip non-stop & laugh like crazy. Hahaha....

She's an easy-going girl & to me, it seems like she has no worries. She always has a smile on her face & can laugh like crazy at the silliest joke ever. But during our conversation, she would sometimes bring in some maturity, honest & serious statements. For example, she said this to me today:

"You know, to the rest of us, u & Ray are a great couple & everything about you guys are so natural & smooth. So happy for you that you're such a lucky couple. We see you 2 dating, the next step was promotion to AM, then getting married, then now, Ray being promoted to Manager...everything seems so perfect, so smooth for you 2! You're both SO lucky! SO happy for you!"

Yes, we know & we thank God everyday for His blessings upon us. We know we're lucky & we work hard for it, too. Just wanna thank God for everything that He has given us..let's hope that our Lady Luck will be here to stay forever & ever...AMEN!

First there was Sharon WESTBROOK, then, Christy & Joo Nee.

Christy was an Assistant Manager that I worked with couple of years back. Well, we weren't really close but still, I remember her as someone who taught me alot of things. & she's one lucky woman blessed with a great husband & lovely kids. Well, I'm fine & comparable with the GREAT HUSBAND part, but I think it's full stop after that. Not really thinking of lovely kids for me yet...haha..

Then, the next one was a little girl, Joo Nee's farewell. She finally wanted a break & got it...lucky her! I wish I could just leave...HERE & NOW too..just like that...sigh~~but I can't...

Yeah, speaking of farewells, of course there were tears as well...sad tears, happy tears..no matter what, it's coz it's someone that matters that we let out those tears...I can easily think of some that I would not shed a tear at all when he/she leaves...how I wish that day will come ASAP!!!

Christy & I
Saja wanna put this pic here coz I think we BOTH look good in it..hehehe
Farewell, my dear Joo Nee..along with Vicky

Every beginning of year, after receiving the year-end bonus of the previous years, there are bound to be resignations. This year, it was even worse due to some 'reasons', which tend to always relate to $$..of coz, else what?? Of coz there are 'other' reasons as well...& if I were to leave this shit place one day...it will fall under the 'other' reason as well.

Sad to see some of my best buddies leave...at the same time, happy for them as well coz they are able to leave this miserable place that is full of.....you know...hehe

One of the saddest one would be a buddy that both Dada & I worked with since Membership GSA days..she's a very nice, bubbly & friendly girl. Tend to break down once in a while, due to work pressure & I'm glad she shared those moments with me as a friend. I really cherish those nice, tearful yet touching moments with her, supporting & advising each other to go on & not give up. We were a great team, always helping out each other, going through ups & downs together...those were the only happy moments I have thus far working here...really miss those days. That's what we call a "TEAM"..ok..I'll always remember & cherish those moments*sniff*sniff*

However, after being assigned to different sections after being promoted, we grew apart. Kinda sad & I always blame myself for being too 'busy' & didn't think of asking her out for lunch more often. Sigh~~I keep reminding myself that I shouldn't neglect my REAL FRIENDS!! Remember!
Anyway, here are some pics we took..farewell my dear friend, but do keep in touch!

@ Westbrook's farewell
Helen, Sharon & Me..we were once GSAs
~ A great friend & work buddy~Take care & miss ya always!

I have concluded that February is probably our 'lucky' month. Though both our birthdays aren't in the month of February, but then, there are lots of other occasions worth celebrating in February.

1st of all, we started dating in February ~ 20th February 2005

Then of coz, there's Valentine's Day ~ 14th February

And, another date in February worth remembering is..1st February happens to be the ultimate LUCKY date for Dada in terms of career, coz he was promoted to Assistant Manager on 1st February, 2007. Then in 2010, exactly 3 years later on this very date, he got promoted to Manager post! I'm so proud of him...All the best dear, will always be here for you. Muakkkss...

Then, there's also Chinese New Year, which always happen to touch February. The best time & 'excuse' to go shopping for new stuff. So here's what I got for this year's CNY during our off-days this week:

New shoes..a MUST to walk this new journey in 2010

This year, we got new phones as our W910i SUCKS..big time..so both of us got a HTC Touch Diamond 2 each..

New clothes for work..we 'accidentally' got 1 each that matches each other..WOOHOO..we'll be parading this on the 1st Day of CNY..giving out angpows to everyone anticipating it..hehe

See..it's exactly the same, Blue for HIM & Pink for ME..can't believe we actually bought this without realising that it matches so perfectly till we reach home..haha..so sweet~~

Today, after weeks of pestering...Dada finaly booked the tickets..NOPE, not for our honeymoon. It's just a FOR FUN trip...or I can only allow people to link it to my Birthday...that's it.FULLSTOP. Yeah...it's a BIRTHDAY TRIP that should have been expense-free for me...right?? So, Dada..no half-half..you pay for everything...hehehe...

At first, this 'kiam siap' hubby of mine, wanted to take me to MELAKA for my birthday woh...MELAKA woh..MELAKA!! Melaka is just a place that we can go ANYTIME..not a birthday trip destination la..So kahsian meh?? 1st birthday as his MRS SIM...& he treats me like that!! Luckily in the end he booked the tickets to Gold Coast..well, not really where I DESPERATELY wanna go coz..well, I've been there & it's not really an ideal honeymoon spot..so that's why I refer it to as BIRTHDAY trip..to meet up with my cousins studying over there..that's it..*hehe*

Surfers Paradise...see you in March!

While we were on leave last week, as usual, I got possessed by the shopping queen in me & just feel like wanting to get a nice dress. For what occasion?? Hmmm...no idea yet..but just wanna 'act elegant' & I'd find an excuse to dress up in it for any occasion. Haha...

I'm thinking...probably for a wedding...I'm sure Dada would be proud to have a pretty, all dressed-up & good-looking lou po who looks & feels like a million bucks in his arms...;) So, determined to be part of the LENG TAI (pretty wives') crowd..I'll have to maintain my figure & make sure I look good when I ACTUALLY REALLY get the chance to wear it...Now, for those of you planning to get married...be sure to invite me..so that I get to wear it!! Come on, I'm waiting for your invitation!

Nice..Without the belt
Also nice..WITH the belt

2010-01-14T13:20:00.003+08:00

Hmmm...have been bugging Dada...that I 'need' another LV...haha...(oh yeah, a girl can never have enough of handbags...right??) So, I searched around...looking at the cheap imitations that poeple tend to copy from LV. I think the most popularly-imitated ones are the Speedy models. Almost everyone other girl walking past in shopping malls have one in hand, be it the REAL thing or the imitated ones. So, should I still get it? (At least deep inside I siok sendiri knowing that the one in my hand is REAL..) But is it worth it to spend thousands & be just 'one of the crowd'?

I wanted something 'less-copied', that's why I bought Popincourt previously. Now I want something from the Damier Azur collection. Just coz I want something light-coloured. So I searched high & low...& still find the Speedy types suit me best. That's mostly my style. I have thought having something out of my ordinary wardrobe types...that's why I'm considering the Galliera PM...but it's kinda too big for a petite me. So...how ah?? Should I go for something special, out of the ordinary..OR stick with what looks best on me??

The out of the ordinary shape for me
Kinda too big for me??
The BIASA thing...

Today, I got a very nice gift to start off the new year. A colleague of mine, knows that I like Raymond Lam & I was quite disappointed that I didn't get to see his concert right here where I work couple of weeks back. Hence, he got me his CD collection with his autograph! So nice of him...Thanks, Mr A!

Listening to his LIVE CD was better than nothing..hehe

So, since someone did something nice to me, I wanna pass around the good & kind spirit too..& thought of doing something nice for Dada...

Actually, I have thought of doing this since last night. I want a nice surprise waiting for him when he comes back from work...so I chose some of our nice pics from the wedding, & developed them into hard copies so that I can put it on display in a photoframe that a classmate of mine gave us as a wedding gift. But since there are only 2 slots to put, I chose the most suitable ones & the rest...I will just stick it up at my work cubicle..so that I have some sort of MOTIVATION when I work..haha..So, voila...Love it!!

Hey there...I think I will use a different language to say goodbye each year..I used Italian last year, & this year it's Japanese..hehe..

As I looked back on the events in 2009...how should I wrap it up? Hmm..indeed it was a GRRReat year, no doubt about it. Had a great everything..great family bonding times, chaos, happy, fun & memorable moments, everything at work's fine..kinda stressful handling work & the wedding to plan for at a point in time. But thank God, for having Dada by my side...I managed & survived it..without turning into a BRIDEZILLA..hehe

So cheers to 2009 & double cheers for an even greater 2010 year ahead!

Signing off...as Mrs Sim...SINCE 281109...

All those who were there to celebrate our JOY

As we draw close to nearly 1 month after our BIG DAY...I feel like I still haven't shared MY SIDE of the story...many have uploaded pics of our BIG DAY in the almighty Facebook..but still..it's not really from the Bride's side. And there's only 1 bride who can tell the story..yeah? So, after hours & hours of selecting the best pics & editing the story..I've finally completed my side of the story & would like to share it with everyone else...check it out...THE BRIDE'S WEDDING STORY...ENJOY!

As we move towards the 3rd week after our wedding...I just wanna pen down some highlights & moments worth remembering...as we human age...our memory gets worse. I want to remember every bits & pieces of our BIG DAY..till the day I die..so here are some funny remarks/conversations held worth remembering:

Conversation 1 (probably funniest & one that I'll remember forever):

Cousin Aline: Siew Yee Chea Chea, for the tea ceremony tomorrow, we; the younger ones need to serve you tea, kan? Then what should we call you?

Cousin Sheryl & Iris: Ya ya...what should we call you?

Me: Wahaha...Siew Yee Chea Chea la..what else? You're my cousins no matter how young or old, married or not married bah...I'm forever your Siew Yee Chea Chea...or else? What do you wanna call me? Aunty Siew Yee Chea Chea??

Cousin Aline: Hahaha..Oh...ya kah? Then Ray Ko Ko? What should we call him? Ray Ko Ko also??

Me: Yalah...ishhh...u this ah...getting married doesn't change our relationship bah..you're forever my dear cousins...remember that!

Conversation 2:

Dada: Help me as your brother, whether he wants to be my HENG DAI for the day? I need his help...

Me: Ko, you wanna help him on the wedding day to be his heng dai?

Bro: NO WAY, I don't wanna be the one being played, I wanna PLAY HIM...I only have 1 sister..I'll give him a hard time so that he knows it's not easy to marry my sister...hahaha

Conversation 3 (held during the tea ceremony ~ the younger kids will have to serve us tea, then we'll give them each an angpau) :

Cousin Sheryl: Siew Yee Chea Chea, drink tea..(her own self-created English version for yum cha)

Me: Huh, what is that?? (in a 'kwai lou' slang to make it sound funny..hehe)

Everyone else in the living room erupted in laughter...

Hi there...hi to my non-existence readers...sorry for MIA-ing for so long...if you have really been nice enough to follow my blog, you should know the reason for my MIA. Yes, I have been kept busy to successfully be a PRETTY BRIDE on my BIG DAY, all 3 legs of my wedding reception dinners left memorable moments for me & Dada to cherish forever..thanks to all who became part of our special day. Really thanks to all...muakkss...love you all...Will probably post some highlights in the near future on our special day...gosh...just gimme some time to decide which are the REAL special moments...coz every moment is memorable to us...

OK, as my title here says, I should be talking about the short trip we had prior to getting back to work. NOPE, it wasn't HONEYMOON. It's as I said, a short trip, to neighbouring Singapore; with mummy darling & baobei. Did some Christmas shopping there. The environment was wonderful..especially the reknowned Orchard Road..Best place to be for Christmas shopping...or rather LV shopping..hehe..:)

Finally~~my 2009 X'mas present

Would like to blog about a conversation held yesterday, between me & a VIP guest of Dada's whom we met.

VIP Guest: Wow, so Ray, this is your wife? She's very beautiful...(saja wanna emphasize here that he said this...haha)

Me: No, not his wife yet, just FUTURE wife, will only officially turn his wife next week.

VIP Guest: He's a great guy, u know..U'll have a happy & 'xing fu' future with him...Congrats to you both on your wedding...:)

Wow, so from then on, Dada keeps reminding me of this conversation..Haha...

Yesterday, was also a day to remember as it was his interview day. I didn't wanna pressure him, just support him & assured him that as long as he tries his best, then there's nothing to worry about. Many didn't expect he'd be one of the candidates. Not that it's a sure win for him, but at least he has been given the chance that only selected ones had. I'm so proud of him. No matter how it turns out to be, we'll always be together, supporting & loving each other. Muaksss...Yes, dear...I know I'm very lucky to have found you but that's because I have great taste. As usual, as always...haha..That's why I love you & believe in you..you're my pride & joy! Love you always :)

My Small Ah Yee wrote on my wall several days ago, counting down to our BIG DAY. See what the whole convo was about? The funny thing is that, I didn't expect Dada to reply that...awwww...so sweet of him! How can I NOT love this guy?? Muakkkssss....

Yes, dear...I'm ALL READY to be your MRS SIM!!!

Today, thanks to my understanding superior, who let me off a few hours earlier to make a trip to Seremban to pick my gowns. Dada had to rush back for midnight shift, & in between, we really didn't have many hours to spare. Plus the heavy rain + traffic, it took us longer to get there & back up. Luckily, we still got back in 1 piece, safe & sound.

Since we know that we have limited time there & really couldn't afford being too picky. Too Bad! But then, there wasn't much choice too...coz as the sales assistants told us, as we move towards the year-end wedding seasons, all brides-to-be will be fighting to confirm their gowns for the BIG DAY as early as possible. I wasn't really considered too late as I still managed to get 2 of what I want in terms of colours & style. Here they are:

Love this 'princessy' feel.. Would most likely wear this for the GICC dinner as the background colour & theme there is dark & strong..need a soft colour contrast for it to stand out
This is a more elegant look..lavender blue-ish purple is something that I have never tried before..hope it will turn out OK...:)

P/s: Feel good that when they were taking my measurements, I have lost an inch here & there..but probably not good for the BOOBS section, but really happy I lost an inch in the waist..way to go! Gambateh...let's hope I lose some fats in my FLABBY ARMS section...which has always been my main concern..**fingers crossed**

Gave my Small Ah Yee a task when we were back in KK last month. Told her to have a look at the church news bulletin board on the first Sunday of November. Why?? Coz Juliet (the church clerk) told us that they will post our wedding announcement on the board for 3 weeks till our wedding day. So, a rough calculation brings us to 1st week of November.

Was so excited on the 1st Sunday last week. Reminded my Small Ah Yee to make sure she takes a pic of it & email it to me...hahaha...& of coz, she did her job well. She sent me the pic first thing Monday morning...what a great way to start the week...eh?? *grinning happily from ear to ear*

OK, as the days just whiz pass like a tornado, I have to really buck up on the preparation part. ESPECIALLY...on the beauty skincare part. I have to ensure that no PIMPLES will pop out on the big day. Trying to ensure that...is really a big problem; as I have absolutely NO IDEA what I should do! Which product is the best? Am I drinking enough water? Is my diet right? Well, I'm trying hard to be a good girl.

Please, Santa...I have been quite a good girl this year...so can I have my present earlier than usual this year? Christmas is kinda too late as my wedding is nearly a month before X'mas...Hahaha...meanwhile, I have been listening to whoever & whatever that's supposed to be giving me tips on good products to make me a pretty bride...1 trip to Sasa & I got everything that I need. Have been using it for a week now...so far so good...hope it stays well...*fingers crossed*

Just when I thought he didn't prepare anything at all for this memorable day, he surprised me with this:

1: As I walked out of the bathroom after a shower...he had the laptop displaying the below slides which I can only click 'next' after I finish a task. Haha....watch too much Amazing Race I suppose.

2: So, with each other the clues given, I find a gift hidden at each the places/things that I was supposed to dig out.

What a SURPRISE...my Dada playing games with me...hahaha...Love you, dear...muakkkssss!

I came across this video while FB-ing & quickly wanna share it here. It's so nice & touching...best of all...& what touched me the most is that...it's EXACTLY what keeps playing in my mind 24/7 these days. I keep imagining...that, on our BIG DAY...:

1. What will happen? (any sweet, funny, idiotic, laughable moments?)

2. Who will turn up? (which of my lifetime besties will be there to see me through the whole process?)

3. How will I look? (no pimples, no eyebags..please!!)

4. What about my make up? & my hair?

5. Which dress will I end up getting, which pair of shoes will I choose as my BRIDAL SHOES on that day? (Yes, I have roughly 5 pairs to choose from & I really haven't decided which one I like MORE).

I can imagine all the laughters, excitement, tears of happiness, everyone in happy mood & good spirits..RELATIVES, who have not met for ages...will 家好月圓..FRIENDS, be it from TTSS or Curtin..will be reunited..after graduating for "N" years now..

121, Taman Antarabangsa is gonna be loud & chaotic...ALL for a good cause. *sniff*sniff* Pass me the tissue please...I cried watching this video & thinking about my big day at the same time. All this...while having a RED WINE mask on...RED WINE + TEARS..good combination, no?

Was away at the Historical Town Melaka last weekend for work. This is the 2nd time we're there for our GWC Fair. However, the only thing I remember being there last year was work, work & work. Didn't get the chance to shop around even during breaktime. Hence, this time, I promised myself that I will NOT be a 'dull girl' (from the saying "All work & no play makes Jack a dull boy"). Hahaha....

Well, I don't know what has gotten into me....but I just LOOOOVE buying facial masks to pamper myself. I like doing facial masks while watching an episode of the latest TVB series. So...wanna see my facial mask collection??? Ta da....INI DIA:

More than 50 pieces...I lost count halfway thru...yeah, I know..I'm crazy...

Let's see...I've got: Hydrating, Skin Reviving, Red Wine, Whitening, Anti-Wrinkle, Fiber, Intensive Care, Collagen, Crystal, Nourishing, Softening, Anti-Aging...etc..etc...just name it & I've got it! Yeah, just like what my colleague said & I have to admit that I'm doing all this to prevent AGEING...hahaha...especially now that the BIG DAY is round the corner...I just HAVE TO look my absolute best! Oh yeah, I signed up my 1st facial sessions...with ADONIS, who was also doing a roadshow at the same shopping complex as us...wow...wow...wow..great harvest, eh...?

Yes, the albums were ready at just about the right time. Got a call from the bridal house telling us the albums are ready & we can pick them up anytime. Hurray!! Further more, mum is in town these few days. PERFECTO! So, on the morning of the 18th, we woke up early to pick mum up at LCC Terminal & headed to Seremban to get our wedding albums right away.

But before that, we went to Vietnam House again the night before & took this pic, which I think turned out really nice...so, just feel like sharing it:

~~ Mr & Mrs Sim~~We LOOK GOOD together, don't we?

Small Album + DVD with a video of our making, & the whole albums' pic collection

The SUPER GIANT album with additional 5 pages (it's super heavy too!)

The small frame (for tables, not walls..)

This is a slightly bigger frame, for the bride's parents

Oh yeah...100 pcs of 'Jie Mei Zhao' which I really don't feel like giving out to others...I wanna keep them ALL to myself!

What makes me happy, was that my dearest mummy was one of the first to see all this! I can see that, mama is very happy to see her little girl grow up & is preparing for her BIG DAY. She said our pics are all so nice..so beautiful...I'm sure she's proud of her little girl...ME! Mum...I'm proud of you too...you're the dearest person in my heart...:)

I think mum got even happier when the albums were shown to my aunts & uncle. Everyone kept saying the albums are A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y GORGEOUS!! & they could see some images of my mum in those photos...which made mum even prouder & happier...& of coz, which means..ME TOO!! :)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, we left behind the 'long' photoframe there. We wanted to have it along..but after adjusting & re-adjusting but still couldn't fit it into the car with the 3 of us. So, no choice, we have to leave it there till our next visit for the gown fittings of the actual day. :( How LONG is the frame? Well, I can't remember the sizes but I can tell you it's ala Ho Jit Nam's style (or Terence & Constance ~ YES, Moses Chan & Gigi Lai) in Gem of Life...Yup...that COOL photoframe that they had in the living room. It's something like that...but ours is a combination of several pics, whereas theirs is a huge frame of 1 pic that they put in the living room. I remember there's a scene of Moses looking at it when their relationship was shaky...absolutely beautiful & touching...But we've yet to have a living room...:( That's why there's no hurry to pick that up yet...but soon...very soon...

Dear RF, always have faith in you...Don't worry about the loss...Del Potro was (& IS) an idiot anyways...He'll never be a true champion as YOU ARE...Good luck & go for more Grand Slams title...really wish to watch you in action LIVE in the stadium one day....Give me some time to save $$...don't retire yet...ok?

The day is just PERFECT!!! Coz on this very special day, the magazine with our wedding photos that I talked about previously is OUT!!

I wasn't aware about it. But guess who was the first to tell me?? My BOSS! Hahaha...went to attend a meeting & he came with the magazine to show me. He even teased about wanting to charge us for the free 'advertisement' that it's doing for us. Hahaha...Wonder who else has seen it..?? But then at the moment, no one has approached us nor talked to us about seeing our pictures in the magazine yet other than my boss.

Was so excited..smsed Dada right away to tell him (was abit paiseh to talk on the phone, in case other people hears me..). After the meeting, went to get myself a few copies just to 'siok sendiri'. Hehe...Didn't show anyone, wanna keep a low profile & decided not to mention anything unless other people talk about it first. Just in case...some people will be jealous of the spotlight that we are getting & envy us for being such a PERFECT COUPLE~~ :-p

Today is my dearest Dada's birthday. Being up in this miserable hill doesn't give us much options. Hence, we had dinner at Sushi King, then he went off to work, promising to be back before the clock strikes 12midnight.

He wants me to be the 1st person to wish him Happy Birthday, to hug & kiss & have a quiet moment together. I had been scratching my head this few days trying to think of what would be a good 'surprise' for him. I counted, it's the 5th birthday we're celebrating as a couple. Yeah, & I'm a "teeny-weeny" bit ashamed to say that I have not bought him a cake at all these 5 years! Why? Coz of the simple reason that there's always other people celebrating his birthday for him in a group with a cake. Since we're both not huge fans of cakes & sweet stuff, I just skip that since he had already had his chance to blow out his candles. Hahaha... (No! I'm NOT making excuses here, it's the truth!)

So, I decided to give him 5 cakes this year to compensate. 5 cakes?? 5 HUGE cakes? Of coz not, silly! They are tiny little cutie cupcakes that aren't too heavy & we get to taste several flavours at the same time. Isn't that a great idea? Hehe...

Got the cakes, lighter & KFC for a bit of a midnight snack after I made sure he's safely on his way to work. I also put in the effort to dress up to ensure that I look sweet enough for him to rush into my open arms the moment he opens the door & sees me! & that's how we celebrated his birthday during his 1hr break back in the room.

P/s: Sorry about the lighter Da..Daddy told me not to play with fire when I was a kid, that's why I cant handle a lighter & you had to light the candles yourself...keke...*paiseh*paiseh*

5 cupcakes - symbolising his 5th birthday as my MAN
Birthday Boy (man) making his wish
Birthday Boy (man) blowing out his candles
Birthday Boy (man) & his lovely wife :-p

Oh, did I tell you I didn't sing the birthday song? This cutie here did it instead~~ Cheers..Dear, may I be blessed & lucky enough to celebrate many many more of your birthdays with you..love you forever, muakkkss..

Hmm...I should really give myself a pat on the shoulder for a job well done...haha...not only me, I'll have to give credits to Dada as well. As he was involved, and as usual, plays his very important part..to pay the $$$..hehe..

Now, let me tell you what we've done that I'm so proud of:

1) Confirmed Photographer for KK side - Benny Liew

2) Confirmed Videographer for KK side - Studio Galaxy

3) Confirmed Make-up & Hairdo Artist for KK side - Gwen Wong

Right, maybe some would say, "Oh puuuhleezeeee, all these should have been done LONG ago!" Well, let me tell you, I have been sacrificing my beauty sleep spending most of my time after work doing surveys & searching the internet to make comparisons. Therefore, I need to ensure that this team here is the absolute best of the best to attend to us & help us be our BEST...on OUR BIG DAY!!

Can't believe you are still so childish. Seems like, you've not grown (mentally) a single bit at all since the days we played MONOPOLY as kids. You always wanna fight with me to buy Mayfair & Parklane, to be the first to build houses & hotels there & to tease each other who will be the first to get a CHANCE to GO TO JAIL...haha...those were the days.

Now, as we've grown into 'adults' (not really sure for your case?), seems like you're still the same. The little boy, who loses his temper & whose face turns sour when mama didn't buy the video game for you as promised. You sulk & sulk like a childish kid whenever you're not given the things you wanted. Even now, as your little cousin, (Oui, c'est moi) prepares for the BIG DAY, you choose to show your childish self to me again. I really couldn't believe my eyes at first, realising what you did to me. How could you? Why would you wanna make this into such a big deal? I thought we have made peace after those sms exchanges? How come you won't let it pass & choose to do this, knowing it will hurt me? Is this your way of 'revenging'? Should I 'act like a kid' along with you & tell your mama about this? If this action is from a little kid, I won't mind, but look at you...you're in your 30s for God's sake! SHAME ON YOU!! Siu mao mao~~buat malu for bullying your cousin sister even at this age!!

Sigh...you really shocked me for doing this. Well, I'll try my best to ignore & won't let this affect me preparing for my BIG DAY. Yeah, sorry..you're NOT WORTH it..:-p

A perfect fit bought from the rack..well, could better if the butt isn't that tight..NEED TO REALLY KEEP FIT for this!! Dada also got a Grayish Silver Traditional Chinese Shirt to match me for the occasion = RM 314++

Bill #4: Brown MAJOLICA MARJOCA Eyeliner, L'OREAL ELSEVE Night Serum, L'OREAL ELSEVE Nutri-Gloss Conditioning Spray & Johnson's Clean & Clear Toner that I have been using since Uni days = RM110++ (all thanks to recommendations from CLEO-Sept '09 issue)

We went to Jusco @ Maluri after dinner with my 'noisy' aunts & Uncle John; to buy some groceries few weeks back. Being the HOT DURIAN SEASON then, I just couldn't stop myself from being enchanted by the HEAVENLY smell as I walk through the fruit section. So, I stopped by & picked from the BEST BUY boxes. The seller was friendly (a bit too friendly). He started bullshitting alot, saying it's surely delicious, smells good, definitely thick & filling..etc & NOW at a discounted price..what are we waiting for?

So, Dada joined me & we decided to get the durian seller to pack 3 boxes, with some that we decided to share with friends. Then, halfway through packing, the durian seller asked us: "Excuse me, may I know, are you 輝(referring to Dada), & you're 儀(referring to me), right?" For a moment, we were confused, is he some ex-staff that we know from Genting? How does he know us? Then it struck me, "Oh, you know coz you saw our pendants, right?" He laughed & said yes..(I wear a pendant bearing HIS name & he wears a pendant bearing MY name, to let people know we 'belong to each other'. We have been wearing this since or first month of dating). Haha..so funny, he thought he's so humorous..I just ignored him & walked away continuing my grocery shopping while Dada waited for the durian. Dada later told me the 'not-so-funny' durian seller apologised..?? So 38 of him..:-p

Don't know what is wrong with me these days. People say, when you're planning a wedding, you might get the pre-wedding jitters? Everything will just get into your nerves. The smallest, tiniest thing will piss you off as easily as snapping your fingers. Your hormones will be imbalanced. You'll get irritated easily. You'll have endless quarrels with just practically EVERYONE involved. Why ah??

How did this happen to me? I realised for the past month or so, I feel that nothing is right. Feel so pressured..that I might just BURST anytime soon. Everything is not right, whatever that people say doesn't sound right. I feel like strangling anyone who says things that are nonsense, are of no help at all, or that is just not RIGHT for my ears. Piss off, leave me alone. It's my own wedding..not yours save all your comments for your OWN one..Thanks...

Sigh~~sorry, I don't mean to be rude. But then, I just don't know how to help myself. Or WHO can help me..I have thought of going for a relaxing spa & body massage..will this really help me relax & throw away all my worries? I seriously thought of splurging the cash for it..a RM 300++ package to pamper myself. How does that sound?

Might really check it out one day~~

tHe BomB is out!!

2009-08-20T22:54:00.005+08:00

Take a look at our freshly out from the oven BOMB..for both sides, KK & Genting:

Maroon Red envelope
Bookmark-type Insertion for Genting Dinner - 8th Dec

Gold Envelope

Insertion for KK dinner - 28th Nov

Don't know why the colour is different here...shouldn't be like that..Something's wrong with blogspot, probably...Dada said that it maybe caused by the file shrinking from its original size to fit in. That's why the colour is affected. Hmmm...anyway...doesn't matter...as long as the colour is right on the actual cards.

Beware: Will be bombing our way to you soon....:)

NataLie TonG = my LookaLike

2009-08-10T19:21:00.005+08:00

In recent years, there's a young TVB actress called Natalie Tong, whom probably 90% of my friends swear looks like me. Well, I can't get a pic of mine & hers with the same pose, or look or hairstyle that we could really compare...but, of course, I don't really see the resemblance, till..recently. I realised I look around 80% like her in one of my wedding pics. Hahaha...people say I look like her especially when it's a sideway glance. I sorta agree...only sometimes...haha

Recently, many people that I meet for the 1st time, our conversation will most likely include:

Friend: Hey, do u watch HK TVB movies?

Me: I know what you're trying to say...You wanna say I look like Natalie Tong, the one who recently appeared in 老婆大人II & also ID精英, right?

Friend: Yayaya..how do you know? Many people said this to you?

Me: Yeah...I'm sick of people saying this already! Hahahaha....

I asked Mama about this before, whether she agrees to it. She used to say, "Nolah, not at all". Then after seeing that particular wedding pic, she now thinks so too! Not only her, Daddy & Baobei, too!! Hahaha...even those closest to you also say so, then I think it could be true...

During our off days, we were also due to get back to the bridal house to have a look at the progress of our album. The designs were great, the great pics are still great..or I should say even better with a bit of this & that add-ons & special effects done to it. However, the b*tch in me decided to be abit hard on them. Wanted this & that changed..especially some wordings, which I think doesn't make sense; has totally no meaning & grammatically WRONG. So, how could I tolerate having that in my album? NO WAAAAy....so I got them to change & change & change to my satisfaction.

Later on in the evening, we paid a visit to dada's bestie, who was kind enough to let us be guests to their (a little too big for 2) house when we were there for the photoshoot. Now, they have an addition to the family! Their baby boy came into their lives on 9th June 2009 & we are so happy for them! Congrats, Mr & Mrs Ang~~from Mr & Mrs Sim ;)

Me & Baby 澤
~~awww..he's so camera-shy~~

He is a cute little one, isn't he??!! Sometimes...I really think life is so meaningful & the most beautiful things in life are actually RIGHT THERE...just that some of us are just too occupied with other 'not so important' things that they failed to notice. They fail to slow down & take time to appreciate the great things in life.

I have been reading alot & have many friends around me who are 1st time mummies...& it always bring tears to my eyes reading & listening to them on the development of the little ones. Sometimes, when I watch TV & see milk or diapers ads with babies especially, I get all misty-eyed. I don't know why...Why am I being so emotional? I'm such a drama queen, eh? But honestly speaking, if you ask me if I'm ready to be a mum, I'll say NO! When? Hmm..I adopt this answer from my cousin who answers this whenever people ask him when will he get married: IN THE DISTANT FUTURE *full stop*

OK, besides shopping like crazy during our off days, we also went to have a look at our condo's site progress. We were delighted to see the progress thus far. No wonder there are rumors around saying we might be getting the keys before its initial expected delivery date. Let's hope so..**fingers crossed**

Here are some pics to share:

Perhaps I have been influenced by the fact that we're 'tying the knot' soon. So, I tend to like RIBBONS alot..RIBBONS...RIBBONS...RIBBONS...so girlie...haha...I recently bought 4 pairs of earrings with different types of ribbons...4!! You must be thinking I'm crazy...yeah..I think so too...but they are sooo lovely that I really can't resist! Have a look...

Ribbons of different kinds, right?

I received a phonecall couple of days back...you know on what?? Hmmm...something that came as a surprise. Never thought of being asked for such a favour. A friend, called requesting our permission to have our wedding pics published! In a not very well-known magazine..it's not for sale in the market..distribution to..probably less than 10k readers...BUT STILL...it's good enough to attract such attention, OK.. :-p...hehehe...*beams with pride*

Naa...we're no celebrity couple, our pics aren't of any value. But just doing it for the sake of helping out a friend. Of coz, quite bangga also...will be passing a few selection of the pics to my friend in a couple of days. Let's see which one they will choose...can't wait for its publication!!

The only way to a man's heart...is through his stomach...I'm sure everyone's heard of this saying. So, mum, being the perfect wife & mum, always takes good care of us & makes sure that our stomach is filled with good food, with no added perservatives, colourings..etc. This is also one of the main reason I long to be home everyday...to enjoy home-cooked food..by no one else, but my mummy darling...

I didn't really get to the details of my recent trip back in KK in previous posts. Well, besides the weather being hotter than usual, nothing much is new really...EXCEPT that Mama's got a new playground..or an EXTENSION to her playground, I should say.

View from the dry kitchen inside
The inner part
The outer part plus the door leading to the laundry area

I really feel absoluately wonderful when I see new things done to the house. It makes me feel that everyone is living a good & happy life, mum & dad don't have to worry about me financially (as I can very well make my own living) & therefore have the extra cash to improve their living. We're now living a good life as a family, though most of the time away from each other. However, we make the most of it when we're back home. I constantly remind myself to work hard, for not only a future with Dada, but a future that is inclusive of Daddy, Mummy & Baobei.

Over the years, I truly feel the happiest when I go back home. Plus, especially when there are new things in the house. As daddy dear said, it's his pride to present me with new 'surprises' each time we go back. Before this, there was a renovation to extend a little room for my mum's tuition classes, an improvement to the garage & this time an expansion to the kitchen area. So now, mama has a dry & wet kitchen inclusive of a laundry area, which is spacious & shaded from the hot sun. I LOOOVE staying at home so much. It's so warm, comfortable & cozy..sigh~~as the saying goes...THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME...(where Mama cooks good food ;p)

As I grow up, I never thought of myself bearing much of a resemblance of my mum. Yes, apart from the petite figure, I find it hard to look for other close matches.

Then, one day..my dad, who rarely praises me (coz he just didn't want me to be any cockier than I already AM)..he said he loved one special feature about me. It's my lips..He said I had nice, sexy lips just like Mama...I felt so touched..to hear it from a cool dad like mine.

Later on in the years, there was once, mum digged out a really old pic of herself (a black & white pic with her in her teenage years, wearing a checkered dress). With the long, straight, jet black hair & the same smile..a family friend who saw that pic actually thought it was ME (the daughter who was then studying in Sydney). Hahaha...my mum just smiled & corrected her saying, "That's actually me, 30 years ago & not my daughter NOW" hahaha...

As years passed by, more & more people see the resemblance. A close high school friend, my cousins, my aunts especially...they see their 'big sista' in me sometimes; & say 'She's as pretty as our Big Sista used to be when she was young.." Well, aunt, you're only half right. To me, mum is still pretty although she's in her 60s now. She's my dearest mama & I'm proud to have all her good (& not so good) genes in me. She's a wise, kind-hearted, good natured, responsible, respectable figure; as a wife, mum, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, grandmother, daughter, sister, teacher, friend, colleague, superior..etc no matter what role she plays in life.

I see the likeness in the character of Louise Lee See Kei in Heart of Greed as "Dai Kai" & Moonlight Resonance's "Ho Ma". When I watch these series, I think of her & miss her even more. I wish I can see her everyday, to kiss & hug her..to joke & laugh with her. I feel really bad to work far away from home & not being able to spend time with mum & dad often. Mama...promise me you & dad will come over often when our little place called HOME is ready next year, OK? Love you always & I'm proud to have a mum like you. You're the BESTEST mum in the world! (No, this is not an outdated post for Mother's Day...I have learnt, to treat my mum the best & make everyday a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY for her..MAMA, I LOVE YOU!)

Do u think I look like Mama?

2009-07-09T20:50:00.002+08:00

So, today is the 1st day back at work after a refrashing 10-day break back in KK. Any progress on our wedding?? Hmm...the answer is: Progress not as much as it should have been. Let me just list down the things that we SHOULD HAVE DONE (SHD), vs ALREADY DONE (AD):

1) Dig out all my baby / childhood pics to be featured in our slideshow (SHD)

2) Head over to Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) to get our 'License to Kahwin' (SHD)

3) Dental Appointment (AD)

4) Photoshoot # 2 (AD)

5) Invitation Cards (AD)

6) Head over to STAR to have a long discussion with the Events Co-ordinator (SHD)

7) Check out Catering Services (SHD)

8) Search for videographer & photographer for the BIG DAY (SHD)

9) Search for MUA for the BIG DAY (SHD)

10) Meet up with Small Ah Yee & Gaga to discuss our TO DO list (SHD)

So, the conclusion is: 30% AD & 70% SHD...total failure!!

To tell you the truth, I have not been out shopping at the ONLY place to shop up here in Genting - First World Plaza for...more than a month!! Yes, it's true!

Not surprising, as both Dada & I worked morning shifts yesterday, we went out just to do stuff that lovers do. Eating out & shopping around. Well, not really shocked that there was nothing new. Still the same old shops, selling the same stuff..same faces working there..day in day out.

However, being the SHOPAHOLIC me, I'll always find something to buy. My favourite shop there has always been PADINI CONCEPT STORE. Where else to find cool, funky & afforadable shoes but there? Best of all, they have new items coming in like every other week! So, as I have not been shopping for quite a while...imagine all the cool shoes that I have been missing out!! Hahaha...I have not bought new shoes since...err..early May for the photoshoot? Hmm...that's more than a month!! So, I need new shoes...right??

So, in less than 20 minutes, I attacked my targets, got the right sizes for me & paid for them..RM110.40 ONLY for 2 pairs of LOVELY shoes!! Absolutely worth it...yeah??

I Looove these new collections to my wardrobe :)

Continuing the story from my previous post. Was so sweet of Dada to take action on the things I wrote here.

To keep me from getting a new phone, he made the decision to send my handphone for repair. It will take around 3 weeks to a month to have it done. So, meanwhile, I can only use my primary phone, with the 016 number. Sigh~~Is a new phone really so much to ask for?? Hehehe....

Next, as for the uZap...Guess what was in store for me when I walked into the room on 19th (the eve of our dating anniversary)...Not only a NEW uZap, but with 2 MINI uZaps!! The old one, nope we didn't dump it. It's sent for repair as well. We'll have it + the memories intact in also around a month's time. So in total..we'll have 2 uZaps & 2 Mini uZaps...hahaha...(well, this is to ensure we don't have any more arguments taking turns to use the uZap in future..we'll have one each!) So smart of him...hmmm...see, I'm not the only VAIN one here...haha

My uZap Collection.. :)

eVerytHinG RoSak!!

2009-06-17T01:21:00.005+08:00

I'm so damn mad!!! Seems like everything we have around us needs a change. You know why?? Coz they all broke down!!! 1st, I realised my OSIM uZap is not functioning. Next, my handphone Sony Ericsson K610i that I bought nearly 3 years back also went kaput...DAMN!! Not forgetting, our usual travelling bag that we used for all those trips abroad has also 'boycotted' us. All these stuff...were bought either in year 2006 or 2007. Is it really high time that we get new ones?

For the travelling bags, we got the replacements today. Well, this is one of the urgent items that needed our immediate attention. Coz we'll be going back to KK in 2 weeks!! Yippeee!!

Of all those things, the one that is most precious to me is my uZap. Dada got it for me as X'mas present in 2006. :( It has been out for nearly a month or so now & I feel the fats piling up on my tummy area....I don't wanna see those FAT ugly bulges coming back!!! I need to get a replacement soon! SOS!!! ~~sob~~sob~~

I'll need to check out the OSIM store we have here soon to find out the current market price or deals that they offer now. I need to get it QUICK!!!

Now, as for the handphone...hehe...I'm eyeing a touchscreen phone. It doesn't matter if it's not iPhone. I'm still a fan of Sony Ericsson. But my current W910i is really a disappointment. I dislike it lagging in terms of performance sometimes. The screen will also suddenly black out without notification even if you're in the middle of a conversation. The worst thing is that, the battery will turn scalding hot after only probably a 20mins call. U call this a PHONE?? Gosh...I'm very sick of it! I need a NEW PHONE!!

2009-06-15T22:34:00.008+08:00

Today, is mid-June. Meaning to say, we're coming towards the middle of the year...which also means...that we have 5 months & 12 days till our BIG DAY!!! Gosh...I remembered when I first did the COUNTDOWN TICKER..we were sooooo far away...I thought we had to wait FOREVER..but now..with the blink of an eye..here we are!! & I'm getting pretty nervous..coz we have a thousand & one things to do!!

Well, of coz..we at least did one of the major highlights of a wedding...the PRE-WEDDING PHOTO SHOOT...it came out absolutely great!! After uploading it in FB..I really sorta regretted it. Coz I got some unwanted attention...(I'm not bragging...I'm seriously not happy about it) I got messages waiting for me in my FB inbox asking this & that about it. I receive phonecalls from friends..friends of friends..not so close friends..all asking about WHERE we took it, HOW much was it..WHICH bridal house...can you believe it?? Some are absolute STRANGERS!! Come on..it gives me a creepy feeling..that some strangers are viewing my pics...GOSH! I really need to reset my privacy settings in FB!! ***shivers***

You know, I really feel like telling those people...'Come on, even if you go to the same bridal house, the same photographer, the same gowns...you won't end up having the SAME outcome, people..Coz you know why?? Coz YOU can NEVER be US!! Every couple's looks, styles, compatibality & preferences are different! Don't you understand??' Don't be silly..OK! So, gimme a break! Go get something you really like & be yourselves...NOT try & be us & do all the things we DID...

Anyway....one thing worth mentioning that happened this year is that...my dear ROGER FEDERER finally won the FRENCH OPEN!!! Great job, Fed Ex! You never disappoint me...you are really worth my support all these years! Go on & break Pete Sampras' record, OK?

2009 King of Roland Garros

Of coz, if I were to tell you all my lovey-dovey things with Dada..blogspot would never have enough space nor memory for it. Haha...I know I'm lucky to have someone like him to share my life with. He could be a darling when I needed him the most & to also do all those funny funny things to make me laugh when a tear is about to drop. Quite a funny sentence, eh? Haha...Thank You, Lord..for sending him to me...to let me meet him in my life.

Let me just share ONE of the many, many sweet things he did recently. I mentioned to him one day that it has been AGES since I last tasted durian. Ohhh...I just LOOOVE durian. I just don't understand all those bullshit some people say that they can't stand the smell. OH GOSH...it's sooooo delicious!! How can u NOT like it?? ...it's my favourite!

Dada was to standby at KLIA throughout the last weekend. It's always sad to be away from each other. I miss having him to wake me up, to prepare the toothpaste for me & to walk me to work everyday....:( Well, please don't say that I have been spoilt rotten by him...I merely call this...LUCKY...HANG FOOK...ok?? hehehe..

Anyway, he came back last night...& gave me a surprise! He stopped by Tesco on the way back & bought me durian! I came back to our room after work last night smelling durian! YUMMY!! Hahaha...Thanks, Da...for loving me so much!

During our days off last week, we went to view our picture outcomes! We spent about 6 hours there viewing & selecting which ones to put into the albums, which ones we want in photoframes..etc.. Gosh..we had a hard time selecting!! It was a torture to pick only 45 out of 285 pics...God help us!! So, we ended up taking the softcopies of ALL the pics & adding an extra 5 pages to the big album..Needless to say...additional $$ has gone into it...but bloody well worth it, I would say.

So, after getting the softcopies, needless to say also, that people around us just can't wait to see them..& of course, I would gladly wanna show it to the whole world..haha. So, I posted it in my FB account the following day & all those nice comments just non-stop came flooding in! Although all these pics are without additional effects or touch-ups...they are more than perfect already!

Well, we finally felt that all the hardwork was worth it. To earn all those nice comments & agreement that it's really great, we feel the satisfaction ourselves. A pat on both our shoulders..a job well done!! We are now soooo not looking forward to the other photoshoot. I don't think we will be able to top this 'top-of-the-top' form...hehe

Was too busy recently to blog this. While we were at the bridal house choosing my gowns, there was this funny remark:

SA = Shop assistant at the bridal house

PG = Photographer

ME = Me (what else??)

Scene 1:

SA: Is your future hubby from overseas?

ME: Huh? No, but he's not from Seremban if that's what you mean. He's from Taiping.

SA: Oh, he is Malaysian? He looks like ABC (American Born Chinese). He's sooo fair..look at his skin colour...so nice. I was so shocked when I hear him speak Mandarin!

ME: Huh? Yameh?? (really surprised where that came from!) Hahaha...

Then, the next day, when we were starting our photoshoot, we heard another sweet & nice remark:

Scene 2:

PG: You 2 look very alike!
ME: Huh? (Is he trying to say we look like siblings??) What do you mean?
PG: Oh, I mean to say...you look good together. You have the 'fu qi xiang'. A perfectly matched couple!
BOTH ME & DADA: Oh..Thanks! (Smiling happily)

Hahaha...so nice to receive this kind of comments, eh. Anyway, we'll be looking at the results in a week's time. So excited! Let's hope it's all worth the hard work. *Fingers crossed*

Actually, at the moment, after we're finished with the photoshoot, I begin to panic as I suddenly realised that we actually don't have that much time left. & there's sooooo much to be done!! What should we tackle first??

Now, I begin to think of our decorations, and with just the word DECORATIONS..there are so many types of decorations: Church Deco, Dinner Banquet Deco, Car Deco, my Hand Bouquet & Flowers for my cute entourage of Flower Girls & Boys. What theme colour should I have? I figured that I will first have to decide on my hand bouquet, then the rest will all fall into place. Coz I'M the centre of attention, so everything will have to match me. Right? Hehe..Have found some really nice pics on the internet. All the flowers are so pretty...Which one should I pick?

This blue is so striking & sharp!!

These type of roses are common & easy to find..florists wouldn't have an excuse for extra charges!
Combination of sunflowers & red roses are so pretty & brightens up everything!

I love this sweet pink!! Innocent White..is perfect for the bride too!!

They are all so nice...Based on what should I make the decision?? The colour? But I love all the colours...The price? Should I really think of the tight budget we have & risk not having what I love the most? The availability? What if the flowers that I really want are not always available? Then should I consider picking flowers that are available everywhere & at anytime of the year? Perhaps I should start surveying florists during my next off days...

Well...so what do you think?? Took this pic while we were on our way to Putrajaya for the outdoor shooting. I just took my phone out & simply snap, but looks good, eh? Haha..let's hope those taken with the professional care are even 10 times (or more) better..*with fingers crossed & hope for the ABSOLUTE best*..

However, it was really tiring & stressful. Though it was a wonderful experience all together, working with a great team of people. I'm really satisfied with their professionalism & skills. 10 thumbs up for them & I would strongly recommend them to ANYONE out there planning to get married...

As we go into the final week of preparation before the photoshoot...I tend to think alot..Perhaps many, many nonsense that I shouldn't be wasting time worrying about. The result of all this worrying? A GIGANTIC pimple near my nose that Thank God cleared in 2 days, & many, many strands of white hair!! My Goodness!! Am I really turning old that fast?

I'm not emotionally stable too. I don't understand why. Is this what others call the 'pre-wedding jitters' ? I surely don't hope so..or at least, let's hope that I get over it soon. I find myself getting irritated easily...SO DAMN EASY that it's annoying to myself too...Haha...what a statement..

Perhaps as we go into the final week of preparation before the photoshoot..let's hope that I get enough rest, no stress & nothing to worry about so that I can enjoy the day being the centre of attention with Dada...*fingers crossed*

As days past by, we are getting nearer & nearer to the day we FINALLY take our pre-wedding pics, I feel the pressure boiling up. Knowing me, I want the PERFECT everything...but will our pics come out as good, nice, pretty & perfect as we wish? I really, really hope so. Coz I have high expectations on it. I know, everyone around us also can't wait to see our pics. Everywhere I go...people tend to ask me.."Taken your wedding pics already?? No? When?? When are you gonna take it? Can't wait to see them!!"

Aiyoooo...gimme a break! I get so stressed hearing all these comments. I just hope that everything will be fine, OK at work, stress-free...pimples-free & just truly enjoy ourselves at the photoshoot...I'm sooooo EXCITED!!! 14 DAYS TO GO...

For those of you who have watched Gem of Life...yes the super duper long TVB series...you'll know what the hell I'm talking about here. In one of my previous post, I mentioned I'll upload all our lovely pics taken in Hong Kong & Macau. But then, I've decided against it. Coz..there's nothing to be excited about...EXCEPT this valuable buy that I got from Hong Kong. Hahaha..

I loved every bit of the story about this gorgeous ring in the series. The part about 2 persons' hearts sticking together..(thus this ring actually consists of 2 RINGS that only look good when worn together...if you wear it separately..it won't look good at all)..about this wonderful thing called LOVE in life. Once you've found your true love, you'll live happily ever after..this is called HANG FOOK...thus, this ring is named HANG FOOK ZHI WAN..

I never thought it's something that's REAL in life. I thought it's just another made-up story in those TVB series. I didn't know it really exists in the market. So, what a pleasant surprise I got when I saw this shop called MA BELLE..which was also part of the series...then when I walked in..I saw this poster about HANG FOOK ZHI WAN!! Hahahaha...& of course...need you ask some more?? OF COURSE I bought it....& felt the power of 'hang fook-ness' it brings to me each time I put it on...hahaha...this will definitely appear in my wedding pics...stay tuned!!

This post came abit late as after the race in Sepang, Dada & I went straight to Hong Kong & Macau for our 5D4N Shopping Spree.

Well, will blog about HK + Macau with loads of lovely pics later on. For this post, it's back to Formula 1...Yesss...after so many years of NATO (no action, talk only), I finally got to convince dada to plan & take me there to watch it LIVE. This...is my 2009 Birthday Present. :)

Too bad that in the end, the race had to be suspended. Too bad we didn't get to experience the WHOLE thing..But in a way, it was good as the heavy rain meant..NO SUN out there to BURN us..& we are still the Fair & Lovely couple after the race. Hahaha

Told Dada that since the race was incomplete, I would wanna watch another round...but elsewhere..not gonna be Sepang anymore. Not that the experience wasn't valuable...but the transport & traffic control really made me sick! Oh Malaysia...I'm so proud of you...NOT!

For the 1st time in my life, I came down with food poisoning earlier in the week. I just woke up on Sunday morning...feeling stomach pain. I've always had problems with stomach...gastric..stomach cramps..too much wind..whatever..you name it.

So, I just ignored it & made myself breakfast. But halfway through breakfast, I sensed something not quite right. That's why I didn't help myself with a cup of coffee. Soooo unlike me! Hoping that it's not going to be anything serious, I headed to work.

After a while, I just couldn't help it. I rushed to the toilet & there goes my breakfast..So, I went to the clinic to get a number. A really not so sympathetic nurse gave me a number & asked me to come back at 4pm. Which is 3 WHOLE hours away! I REALLY REALLY HATE the 'service' that they provide here. Can't you see that the patients are all really helplessly sick, that's why they are here?? Can't even show some sympathy at all!

I walked back to my office, hoping that I could lie down somewhere till 4pm. But my colleagues could see that I wasn't my usual self, so one of them accompanied me to the clinic again to get the nurses to attend to me first. So they gave me some pills & I was told to rest for 1 hour. If I still throw up after that, I have to go back immediately & they will attend to me first. So, the obedient me did exactly what I was told. Spot on 1 hour later, I threw up again. So I walked back to the clinic & waited to see the doctor.

Wow, I was called in, then without touching me, the doctor asked me to lie down in the sick bay & he wants to drip glucose into me...OH MY GOODNESS!!! I have NEVER experienced that in my life! I have SEEN it in movies..& it's supposed to be painful..they will stab a needle into me..NOOOOOOOOOO!!! But what to do..in the end, that was EXACTLY what happened. I still throw up after that..& the doctor gave me 2 days MC. 2 days!! The longest MC I have taken in my 4 years working here...Not a great experience!

I later on, called home to 'minta simpati' haha...in the end...I got the attention I wanted...mum, dad & baobei called me one by one to talk to me & gave me a lecture each. They asked me to take good care of myself, please pay attention to the food that I take, the hygiene, the nutritional facts..etc everything. Hmmm...I feel loved...(not only by Dada..who was away at a conference, but came back everyday to make sure I'm OK) but always & forever, from Daddy, Mummy & Baobei too...:)

You see..the place where the needle went in left a mark that stayed for days

This year's birthday is special to me...well, every year's birthday is special..but this year...it's more than special. This is my last year as a single hot babe, my last birthday as Miss Tsen & Dada planned it way back to spend it in KK with my beloved daddy, mummy & baobei.

On my birthday, mummy said, all expenses will be fully covered by mum & dad. Dada is not to pay for anything the whole day. This is because, mummy told him..."from next year onwards, we'll pass her to you...& you'll be responsible for making her happy on all her birthdays to come" Really touching, right?? Hehehe...

So, for those of you who are Genting WorldCard members in Singapore & would like a good deal...DON'T MISS IT!!!

But I'll surely miss DADA....:(

2009-02-23T23:02:00.006+08:00

Last Saturday night, this miserable place that I work at called City of Entertainment came to life when we got the honour to host the annual Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards. More than 10 TVB artistes came all the way from Hong Kong to this award presentation ceremony.

Being the TVB queen that I am since young, of course I wouldn't miss this. Especially when a few of the artistes are my idols; namely Raymond Lam, Moses Chan, Joe Ma, Bosco Wong, Tavia Yeung & Linda Chung..wow wow wow...

So I rushed back to get ready after work & went off with a few of my buddies, those that I know I will have a good time with. & surely, we had a great night. It was soooo much fun...I feel like a crazy teenager idolising them..being in the atmosphere of all those screamings & yellings made me feel young & high!! Hahaha....I feel that I can blend in there with the crowd...so, I'm not old at all!! It was so cool to see them all in real flesh & blood right in front of me...Joe Ma was sooo handsome...Raymond Lam too...& Bosco..Ron Ng...ALL of them!! The ladies..pretty, slim & sexy..but too bad my favourite among all favourites...Charmaine Sheh didn't come :(

Anyway, here's a few pics that I managed to snap on that night:

Tak Tak Dei with Dai Kai & Sai Kai
Ma Tak Chung...look over here la..damn!
Goon Ga Zhai...my favourite among all..so handsome!!!
Raymond Lam & Linda Chung..favourite on screen couple
The cast of Heart of Greed
Tavia Yeung receiving her award

Thought that was the end...on my way back, we just so happen to bump into the crowd waiting for the artistes to return back to their hotel rooms. Gosh...it was way past midnight but look at the crowd!! Anyway, managed to catch another glimpse of the whole group as they head back after a meal at THE OLIVE. The crowd went CRRRRRRRAAAAAZY...but I managed to snap pretty Linda with Shirley Yeung Sze Kei behind her...

Sheung Joi Sam.....Yu So Chao!!!!!!!

Well, I'll just have to post this before the clock ticks midnight. Today is our 4th anniversary as a dating couple. A day that will always remain special to us...20th FEBRUARY

As Dada has been working night shifts this whole week, we didn't get to celebrate much. Last night, I went for a movie with a few friends while he was at work. He called me at midnight, to wish me Happy Anniversary. He was very concerned at that time why I still wasn't back at our room yet. Little did I know...that he had a little surprise waiting for me....

As I opened the door, I was surprised to see that the room was dark, except for some dim lights, the laptop was on as well, with a slideshow playing all the beautiful pics that we have taken all these years...some romantic songs in the background...& here's where the dimly lit lights came from...a beautiful ferris wheel on the table..rotating itself..WOW...this room has never been in this kind of romantic mood before!! The only thing missing is Prince Charming appearing with red roses in his hands to be presented to the Pretty Princess in front of him...hehe ;)

Dada's gift for me..
We took this pic when he came back during his break time THIS is my gift for him..can u see MY lipstick mark??

Hahaha...this is how I intend to tell the whole world that...this WONDERFUL GUY is MINE...THE BOY IS MINE, THE BOY IS MINE, THE BOY IS MINE....Happy Anniversary, Da....muakssss....Love you forever...(btw, he said he's no longer a BOY..he's a MAN now..yes..MY MAN!!)

So, if any of you have been wondering how we celebrated our..as a good friend of mine MJ said as..."Our Last Valentine's before getting married" Hmm...so here's a short report on what we did.

As we'll be back at work on the actual day, so we celebrated on the 13th. Some friends asked why we didn't opt to take the day off, well..we simply just didn't think it's necessary. Since we're so lovey-dovey 24/7, EVERYDAY is VALENTINE'S DAY to us..true? Yeah...

So, we went for dinner at the VIETNAM HOUSE, a new restaurant up here in this miserable hill that we work at. I've been there with my colleagues, but not Dada, so this is our first time there together. We really like the environment, decorations & settings there. Makes one feel relaxed & just enjoy a quiet dinner with a warm & cozy feel. Here's the food that we ordered:

Side dish: yummy yummy delicious drumsticks
Mine: Chicken with quail eggs & rice

Dada's: Vietnamese Fried Rice with Quail Eggs

Vietnamese Filtered Coffee

Some of the Decorations

I Love this ship..

Since we're on leave again, we have shopped around for those little tiny details & things that we need for the big day. And before that, the photo shoot as well. Dada won't let himself be any less glamourous..so here's to the GROOM:

Ties that might come in handy Shoes for my PRINCE CHARMING

Now, let's look at this pair of absolutely cool white shoes for the GROOM. He has been looking high & low for WHITE shoes to complete his 'White Horse Prince' look. Haha...now he's got them! He's all excited & ready for the photoshoot in May! (So am I!!)

John Grisham collection

While we were shopping around for our wedding, we went into Borders in Times Square & happened to bump into a John Grisham promotion. 3 for the price of 2!! I've been hit by the bookworm bug again & chose 3 titles. Doesn't matter that it's not the latest but as long as it's something that I have not read & most importantly...at a reasonable price.

In my Vanity Basket

OK, when it comes to wedding, what is more important than the bride taking care of herself & be at her top form?? Well, I indulged in somethings that I wouldn't normally spend so much on...just for the sake of ensuring I look my best. I bought: Fake lashes & fingernails, facial & eye masks, face makeup & eye makeup remover, stockings in nude colour for the photoshoot, chin & forehead pore cleansing strips...wow wow wow...it feels soooo good to pamper yourself!

Some Stationeries that we will need

Before going down, Dada already had a list of things to buy. One important item on his list was none other than the equipment that we need to sign on the DOTTED LINE..Yess...it's the PEN! We initially wanted to buy only one, but then Dada said it would then be a mess as he would sign, then followed by me, then our witnesses. Just ONE pen to pass around for the 4 of us? Why don't we get 2? So, OK, we bought one RED & one BLUE, one for HER & one for HIM...:)

As for the glitter glue & Gold Marker...we'll not leak out the secret yet on what we'll use it for...stay tuned...

My Heart-shaped Diamond Bangle :)

I have always wanted to have a heart-shaped diamond. We were looking for one as the engagement ring, but then we couldn't get one that I like. So, in the end, we founda bangle instead, with a heart-shaped diamond...which is too lovely to say no...it's now MINE :) From Dada..with love...

Our Wedding Bands

As I have blogged previously, we got our wedding bands last month. But then, mine was sent for alteration & we picked it up only yesterday. Now they can both live happily ever after together...we'll keep it safe somewhere till the photoshoot in May...:)

As a conclusion: Wedding Progress...so far so good ;)

So, with all the hardwork & just a blink of an eye, CNY has come & gone. CNY really means nothing to me nowadays except huge crowd in this City of Entertainment, workload doubles or triples up & long hours of work. Sigh~~that's how I have been spending CNY these recent years.

Anyway, the only consolation which is not that bad this year is that I got to have a decent dinner with my family in KL on the last day of CNY. Well, as the saying goes, better late than never. So, off we went after work yesterday to Uncle John's place.

It was a great dinner with lots of my favourite dishes. The hot topic for the night was, none other than our wedding. (yeah, what else can top that??) I was so touched & happy that I was almost in tears that everyone was so supportive & excited about our big day. Everyone wants to play a part & talked so excitedly about all the plans & activities to have for the wedding. My aunts ran through some customs & traditions that we should take note & also, the best thing was...we decided on our best man & bridesmaid then & there too!! This 2nd perfect couple standing next to THE PERFECT couple (US) would be my cousin Ah Dee & his girlfriend Sze Sze! I think they match us perfectly! Actually we have not given much thought about them being the VIP standing next to us. Until last night, it seems like everything just fell into place. There & then we went...TING! Yes, why haven't we thought of them earlier?? Haha...well, actually the reason we didn't give it much thought was because we weren't sure if they would be flying over to KK to attend our wedding. It was really only last night that I knew I have my WHOLE family, no matter young or old, close or not so close..backing me up..*sniff*sniff* so touched. I really THANK GOD for them...

I'm soooo happy...happily planning my wedding...bit by bit...Sometimes, when I ran out of ideas...I Thank God that, HE will suddenly shed some light to me & show me the way...Today, everyone is busy bombarding airasia.com booking tickets to my wedding...I really am touched & happy that our wedding has brought us all into good spirits & closer as a family. Thank You, Lord!

Every year...when it reaches CNY period, I'll be exceptionally moody. I HATE myself for being away from home & unable to celebrate the most important festival in the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

However, I don't wanna keep on nagging & let the same thing make me miserable again & again every year. So, I am trying to be on the positive side & try to be cheerful happily at work everyday. Yupp...that's me trying to turn over a new leaf & see things differently. Haha...not so easy to make me miserable...

I wanna change & make a different approach in my life (work life that is..) especially during CNY. Won't think about home, won't complain about WHY I'm at work while everyone at home is enjoying (probably not as it's hard to imagine them enjoying themselves in my absence..hehe). So, here I am, showing off the new stuff I have to cheer myself up getting ready for work.

Wake up -> brush my teeth -> wash my face -> put on new uniform -> set my hair -> put on make up -> wear my new shoes...ta da -> lastly, plaster on a dazzling smile & off I go...wishing everyone I see GONG XI FA CAI...doesn't really matter whether I know them or not...hehe

Another thing worth mentioning, this is going to be the final year I enjoy receiving angpaus only & not giving out. NEXT YEAR, mind you...when I'm legally Mrs Sim...I'll enjoy the pleasure of GIVING out to those still single..or kiddies...WOW...I can't wait!! Life should be more of GIVING than GETTING, right? Well...GONG XI FA CAI EVERYONE!!!

As I was saying in the previous post, I just need a pair of silver sandals & I'll be ready for the pre-wedding photo shoot. There...I got it couple of days back when it was our 3years & 11 months anniversary. It's slightly higher than my usual heels. I was abit worried when buying; what if I fall? It would really be embarassing as the bride is always the centre of attention in weddings. This is the kind of attention that I wouldn't wanna attract. Haha...but then, Dada said, it's gonna be fine as he would be by my side all day to ensure that I always have someone to hold on to, even if I really did lose my balance. Awww...sweet eh...so there you go, got them on a 20% discount @ Padini Concept Store.

So, I'm almost done. Only need to get these few more items before I can head to Seremban:

Fake nails (I wanna get to pick the ones I REALLY like)
Stockings (just to have a few extras in case of emergencies)
Fake eyelashes (want a few more options for different shots & themes...)
Start to dig into my earring boxes for all those COOL accessories that I can contribute to the photo shoots...
Bring along a few more pairs of sandals of assorted colours & styles to go with more gowns

On the other hand, I have been doing alot of researches on the internet on wedding plans & ideas. Then, I came across the idea of wearing cheongsam during the tea ceremony. As Dada & I have decided, the church ceremony in KK, I'll be wearing the wedding gown, then the tea ceremony in Taiping, I should be wearing the chinese 'kua' as one should not wear a wedding gown twice. (Since the bride should be wearing the wedding gown to both ceremonies & that due to the distance between both locations, we could not do both in a day). But come to think of it, I don't think I'll look good in a chinese 'kua' as it looks uncomfortable, heavy with lots of beads & sequins, (not to mention HOT as it's always long-sleeved & comes with a long skirt till your ankles). Further more, with my petite figure, I think I'll end up looking like a little girl in her mum's clothes. Haha..

So, the next best thing is the cheongsam. I have always liked cheongsam designs, the high-necked mandarin collar (I don't even need to worry about what necklace to wear coz I'm not gonna bother wearing at all!) GREAT, one thing less to worry about.

After coming up with that idea, I have been searching around for styles that I like & hopefully will suit me. Sigh~~how I wish I can be taller, then ANYTHING will look good on me...:( Have filtered out the ones I think will only look good on tall people & ended up with these few. Will get a professional to give me some advice & hopefully offer more options. Meanwhile, this is what I've got.

Sexy

High-Necked

Feminine

Thinking of having it tailor-made as it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get a cheongsam that fits perfectly off the rack. It's a good idea! I'll then get to choose the design..the colour..& the material..COOL! Let's hope I find a good tailor for it...(**fingers crossed**)

My 2009 FoReCasT

2009-01-19T22:07:00.003+08:00

Last year, Dog people should have a better Rat year than most of people. They should be satisfied for their achievement. Even their friends or relatives around should be proud of Dog people's performance. In 2009, Dog people still have Lucky Stars coming, surrounding and supporting them. But the Unlucky Stars will come stronger than 2008. The fortune of Dog people in 2009 will inevitably fall down a little bit. However, Dog people have the character of loyalty, diligence, frank and honest. Therefore, they shouldn't have too bad year in the year of the Cow.

Career: Year 2009, there are two Lucky Stars and two Unlucky Star related to career are coming into your life. The signs show the events of disagreement, argument, conflict or resentment will come and bring you trouble. Therefore, you have to pay attention on your words and deeds. You need to focus more on people relationship. As long as you keep your sincere attitude, hardworking spirit and perseverance character, then you should be able to overcome any obstacle, challenge, confrontation and difficulty from your job in 2009.

Money: One Lucky Star shows you have a good money luck in 2009. But your money luck is connected to the career luck. You have career opportunity in 2009, but the career luck is not stable. Autumn is a better time for your career luck, but not the Summer. As long as you can save your job position, then you should have the stable income. Remember that your money luck this year is not the easy money, you need to work hard to earn it.

Love: There is no Love Star or Happy Star coming for Dog people. But there is a Lonely Star appearing in 2009. That means your love relationship wont' be smooth in the year of Cow. If you are a senior, then you have to pay attention on your spouse's health. You need to take your spouse to visit doctor whenever he or she feels uncomfortable. If you are married, you might have more quarrel with your spouse this year. If you are in love, you might be lack of chemistry with your companion. If there is a third person involved, then your relationship will be in trouble. If you are still single, then you might have one or two love opportunities coming to you in the Cow year, but the relationship won't last too long.

Health: Your job responsibility will increase in 2009. You will have more daily tasks in your position and you need more energy and spirit to handle those heavy job. The mental pressure will come together, then you won't have a good sleeping rest. Next, you will be losing your health and have more chances to get sick. Also, the poor relationship in love will affect your emotion and let you feel depressed. This is purely psychological problem. If you can understand that this is not a long term obstacle and learn how to relax yourself, you should be able to solve this problem.

Fortune: Dog people have a fair luck in the year of Cow, since they have Lucky Stars supporting them and Unlucky stars disturbing them. That means you will have some good time and some hard time. Everything won't be as smooth as you expect. But don't use this as a excuse for frustration or despair. You just have to spend more time to reach your goal. To double your efforts today will let you become more competitive when the opportunity comes tomorrow. In the company, you should keep your profile low, stay away from people giving you trouble and do not have any argument with your enemy. In the money area, don't be too greedy and do not have any risky investment. As long as focusing on your work, you will earn your return. For your love, you need more proactive in communication to build and maintain a solid relationship. For your health, you need to look for more time to rest, and then your health will improve.

Well...no matter good or bad, I'm ready to accept everything that God has planned for me..:)
