It's 2012! My world is just beginning ;)

I cannot believe that i dragged and draaaagggggeeeedddd my blog post right until today! *consistency uber failed*
It's now Jan, 2012... and in less than 2 weeks, we shall welcome February!
Ain't time flies by so fast? *gulp*

I am now married =D
I moved to my new yet incomplete apartment <.<
Ash has grown big.. he is now 4 months old ^_^
and I'm excited of what the future holds ;)

I have SO MUCH TO SHARE.
I will need some time *yes, slight delay again* to compile all of my wedding photos and videos to share with you on my wedding updates.
I shall separate it into parts, from preparations to the big day itself.

As for our humble home, my darling hubby and I were planning to have a simple house warming during the CNY, but regret to inform that THAT will have to wait too till the apartment is fully completed.
Unfortunately for us, we got a lousy contractor who is so malas tahap gaban.
I think even Gaban is not that malas *grr*
The apartment is so small, and all they have to do is a tiny kitchen and 2 custom furniture.
Yet it took them 5 months and it's still not finished <.<
So imagine us sleeping in a still dusty apartment with a naked wardrobe staring at us, incomplete shoe/utility rack mirror and an open wide washing machine area with no sliding door.
My first dream 'home' wracked; but we're trying to be as optimistic as possible and try not to let it get to us.

Can't wait for deco shopping with Richard this Saturday <3 ^^v
At least THIS will keep me entertained.

xoxo!

Few more days left before I say 'hello' to my new cubicle~

As i was informed about us having to move out to a new office, i sulked at the amount of cleaning up that we have to do.
And the fact that the new office is half the size smaller from our current office, i sulked even more.
I thought WHY do we have to move?
The new office is just right beside our current building (3 minutes walk?)
and I love it here,... all my fun memories are here... :(


But oh well, life has to move on,
though I'm officially going to work in an actual cubicle office space (finally after 4 years of working in KK), at least I'll have my privacy :)
And i can't wait to shop for new stationary and deco it like my old cubicle in kl =D
*singing, "my cubicleeee~~~"*



Did some budgeting for my wedding recently..
I know it's too early to plan... i still have 10 months to go...
But that's me, i plan things early to avoid major last minute hiccups.
Anyways, I sweat at the total amount it might come out to, and gosh... wouldn't it better to use the money to buy furniture for my house or better.. to travel at least to 5 different countries for OUR honeymoon??
For those of you who are married, if you have any tips whatsoever such as finding a great pelamin designer (other than Suri Malai Ali please...) , florists, door gifts suppliers, cute deco and accessories, do share :)
Though i want my wedding to be a super wonderful one, i don't intend to splurge for people who i don't even know and might not even give ang pow at my wedding (let's get real, everybody wants ang pow to cover the cost okay.. don't lie =D)
I have few themes in mind too... but I'm up for suggestions.
If you have ideas on mixture of 2 culture theme, you're welcome to spam the comment box =D muehehe....
Oh... I need an opinion...
For reception, do you think it would be better to have the food serve in the center of the table (the usual style) or served individually so that i don't have to sacrifice such beautiful flower deco in the middle? :)


My Japanese language class are doing great.
But i need to practice more on memorizing the name of everyday items taught in class.
*I keep forgetting the names, damn it*
As mentioned, the class is 3 times a week and will end around April and i might be continuing for more, maybe.
So with my time spent mostly in AMC after work, I froze my CORE Fitness account for the moment.
Don't want to be wasting money by only attending few classes in a month.
I'm on the verge of getting broke to save for the wedding and my house =_="
Care to sponsor? =D



On other less serious note, how was your Chap Goh Meh celebration?
Mine was pretty simple dinner and 2 bottles of sparkling juice while listening to the Boom Bang fireworks outside BB's apartment.
Presented my gifts from Vietnam to BB and his family.
Glad they liked it ^_^



Been spending most of my time at home these days.
My mood for tv series and anime is back again, and am loving it :) They keep me company when i'm bored ^_^
I know i promised my baby sis for a driving practice at Likas Sports Complex during weekends, but both of us are busy with our own animes hehe.
She passed her drivers license test before,... but her skill needs a reminder.
My cousin is sitting for his driver's 'written test' soon :) he's lucky to have the pre-exam book to memorize all the road rules and such... something like DMV test questions and answers .

Talking about my baby sis, she complained about being somewhat sexually harassed VERBALLY by some of the staffs at her internship place.
Those monkeys are mostly the driver and... some guy...
Told her to tell them off and reminded her that every working place will have at least one or two SETAN who has nothing better to do with their lives.
I've met them and these people doesn't deserve kindness,... verbally :)



Went to RJ Couture's bag collection and fashion show few weeks ago (before my Vietnam trip).
An Indonesian guy was introduced to sing, and I didn't recognize him till my sis asked me to guess.
After hearing the song,... OMG it's Afgan who sang 'Terima Kasih Cinta' =D!!!
I never knew how he looks like, except his voice over the radio.
He sang wonderfully ^_^
You guys should listen to his album. Highly recommended :)



Last but not least, it's one month to go for KK Twestival 2011!
Few charity organizations nominated to become our main cause for this year, and after closing the voting system last week, we finally have our winner...
Sabah Society of the Blind is our main cause for this year!!!


Okays~ my rambling stops here for the day.
Be good!

PS: Join me for ZUMBA class next week, (1st week of March) on Tuesday and Thursday for FREE, organised by Scott and Michelle. It's at Dewan MPMS opposite Wisma Wanita Sabah. (Thanks Joeanne for inviting!)

Malaysia International Toys Fair & KL-Seremban trip

The only thing made my recent trip to KL worth it were my visit to BB's mom place in Seremban and seeing my friends & cousin (Hambal) in KL.

A heap thanks to Hambal for helping me out with my transportation prob to Mel's house.
I was feeling down that I almost couldn't see Mel due to my transport complication.
But Hambal saved the day :)
Thanks Hambal! *hugs*


Aleen met us at Mel's place instead.
We had fun catching up with Mel and listening to a pregnant lady's tips. Hehehe...


Initially, the doctor said Mel might deliver her junior somewhere on 20th July,
so i ordered a congrats baby cupcake for her and hoping to see my little (self proclaimed) god-niece/nephew during my trip.


But maaaaaaana tau, her baby decided to extend his/her Visa, and even Fay (Mel's sis) didn't get to see him/her during her trip.
Oh well.
This thing is unpredictable.
I just pray that everything will be okay.
She's due TODAY!


Was happy to see Raisin as well.
She's humongous!
and I think she's now 6 years old from the first time Mel & I kept her in our old apartment.


One of Mel's cat wore the cone of shame.

"Hey Joe, why is he wearing the cone of shame?" I asked.
"coz I want to shame him?"
"=_="


Well in actuality, the vet say that the cat was having a 'stress' or some sort of anxiety from moving house.
He was so stress that he couldn't stop scratching himself and made all his fur fall!
Hence, the cone of shame is needed to stop him from being naked.


Anyways, early congrats to Mel and Jijoe!
Can't wait!!!



After saying goodbye *gosh.. i really wish i can stay longer with Mel :(*, Aleen kindly drove us to Mid Valley to check out MITF event together with us.
Parking in Mid Valley was a bitch =_="
That's why I still prefer KTM/LRT.


MITF (Malaysia International Toys Fair) was a biiiiiit of disappointment during the first day.
It was even more devastating when BB and I realised, it wasn't the Singapore International Toys Fair coming down to KL, it was Malaysia trying to make one like them.
=_="
And there we were thinking we could learn something for Hobbycon.
Worst is, the actual event we were looking forward to is going to fall on the same date as Hobbycon this year. Huhu... :(
Might go and check out Comic Fiesta end of this year instead.
But nonetheless, cosplayers made my day on day-2.

All in all, we did establish some network and learn few things :)
Oh! J.na was there, and i met Ki-chan too! Weeeee~* ^_^

Day 1:


One of Hobbycon exhibitor name Harold were invited to MITF after they discovered him in Hobbycon :)
Things have been good to him since Hobbycon and we're glad he's on his way to make his papercraft/name out in the KL market :)


More art & tshirt booths:


The cosplay competition was a bit.... odd ><" I think the skit was odd actually. LOL at Kuran Kaname skit XD XD XD
The Malaysian singing group BunkFace was the first band to be made out into rubber ducky toy.
I wouldn't have known if it weren't for the announcement XD


BB bought me a Dooodolls plush.
His name is Cupido (that was what stated on the label XD)


Hihi... I *heart* BB.

Here's Aleen with a giant doodolls - Cupipi.


Cupido is a dooodols for February.
Since I'm born in December, my dooodols is NINJA!


Day 2:

As I said, I love day-2.
Cosplayer definitely saved the event ;)


Ooooh~~ Ki-Chan as always... AWESOME!
Glad to meet her there :)


Yup. Isaac was there too.
I enjoyed when looking what he did to BB.
Hahahahhaa.


With other cosplayer and STORM TROOPERS!!!


They also have signing session with the Gempak artists.


Below is an artist by the name of Kaoru.
I love her comics.
Nadia is her fan.


We didn't stay long as most exhibition booth and program are the same.
So we headed to The Gardens to tapau some Delectable cupcakes.
Well..
not some..
I decided to tapau all 6 Delectable cupcake flavours XD


I also tapau-ed back another 6 flavours from Bisou cupcakes KLCC for Angeline and Mei.
We gonna have cupcake party tonight =P


Food wise, due to our limited time in KL, BB & I didn't get to go to Times Square to eat Wendy's.
Instead, we went to Popeye by friend's recommendation and ended up disappointed :(


They say it tasted better than KFC.
I say KFC is way better >:(



Aleen and I went shopping for Benefit cosmetics.
Cis.. gotta blame Mei for this.
Am now officially a Bene-holic... noooooooooo~~~~

I LOVE the 'Play Stick' concealer, 'That Gal' face primer and 'Posie Tint' liquid lip colour & blusher!
It's like the best invention ever!!!
The name is cheeky, and the packaging was awesome too!
Gonna get more next week in Taiwan.
Yes am going to Taiwan next monday! (*hugs Mei!!!!*)


While we were walking, we saw a pitiful man inside the Mid Valley shopping display glass...


Wah lau... it must've been hot to be in there... ><" BB also bought a set of Starcraft comic book in Kinokuniya KLCC which consist of 4 volume. He finished it in less than 2 days =_="



Do you know that KTM has a coach for female only?
LOL! I just knew.


Obviously i didn't go into the female coach, else BB will be alone on the other side XD


Instead of staying in KL, BB and I decided to stay in Seremban and commute to Mid Valley via train.

Staying in Seremban was peaceful.
Not only we saved on our accommodation fee, but we also get to have family dinner every night with BB's aunt, uncle and cousin.


I love this buttercream fried mushroom.
Everytime I'm in Seremban, aunty will bring us a vegetarian restaurant and ordered this for me XD


Since aunty Adeline's birthday is in August, BB and I ordered a set of cupcakes for her as a surprise gift from *Boutique Cupcakes of course* KK.


Too bad Casey couldn't join this trip, else it would've been more and merrier.


Shin Yee wasn't around, so as the other siblings.
Instead I met other cousins of BB... and man.. were they TALL... @_@ *and friendly too ;)*


I also learned how to make Pan Mien with chicken soup from aunty Adeline.
Below are the home cooked dishes for our last night in Seremban.


Everytime I'm back from Seremban, I felt stuffed all over.
It's a good feeling of 'stuffed'.. coz we were constantly fed with so many healthy food.
If I were to stay any longer, I can be fat and healthy XD
Can't wait for next trip! ;)


J.na and Serena shared the same flight back to KK with us on Monday evening.
The flight was delayed an hour for them to pump in fuel =_="
and what pissed us most is that, after a long wait in the plane, they asked us to board OFF the plane for them to change the plane tyre!!!
Wth?
I mean I KNOW this is for safety precaution.
But can't you at least plan ahead and let us wait in the airport instead?
Geez =_="
As they said, you paid peanuts... you get monkeys *pfft


Hey don't look at me...
it's natural enough for people to be angry and started to take out their cameras for evidence and called up their families to explain the situation.
Knowing this, there was one lady staff who dared to talk on her walkie talkie and say "macam rasa nak sepak jer diorang ni" (referring to people outside the plane mingling and taking picture)

Quoting my friend- "sapa suruh buat kerja cam taik, awal2 tak mo tukaq, org dah naik baru terhegeh2 nak buat..!" LOL!!!
Budus.


Oh well. Another day another drama.

Till my next trip, TaTa~!
