Belated Christmas Treat

On boxing day (Dec 26th), my sis and Daniel, treated Chin Aun and I to a sumptuous buffet at Shogun (subsidiary of Saisaki *grins*) that has just opened up at 1-Utama. We actually had to wait in line to get in! My sis wanted to make reservation earlier but the person-in-charge that she talked to there said that all seats allocated for reservation were taken upa already. The place opens for dinner at 6:30pm and the line was already kinda long at 6:10pm! *phew*

We got in anyways! haha... The spread was so good! The sushi! The sashimi!! *yum*! Teppanyaki and Tempuras never really did a thing for me, so I went for the sake sashimi!~ I snapped a couple of photos after dinner (cos I was too full and I needed the walkaround! haha) while some people looked at me suspiciously! *grins* I couldn't be bothered. Anyways...

On the left:- Salmon Sushi~! :) My fav dish at Sushi King and Genki...

On the right:- Raw Salmon and Tuna *drools* my mom would faint to see me eating this in front of her :p she can't tolerate anything raw...

On the left:- Boiled Snails for dessert, anyone? I'm too chicken to try...

On the right:- ALOE VERA!! My fav!! haha... I had TWO servings of this~! *grins*

My Bukit Tinggi Christmas

Chin Aun took me Horseback Riding at Bukit Tinggi for my Christmas present!!! *wheeeee* Chin Aun rode on a horse named Buddy and mine's Bonny *swoon*... they're just so beautiful... and so docile... so sweet... and so obedient... they're so everything nice :p

Some more photos of horses :D

The photo on the left is of Bonita, Bonny's little mare :) and the photo on the right is of Lorraine, the horse trainer, saddling Midnight.

The best part of Bukit Tinggi is, of course, the horses!

But, aside from that, Chin Aun also took me to a rabbit farm :D We met Sher Mein, Hong Hong, Chun Seng and some other friends as well. What a coincidence eh?

And we went target shooting, did some archery, went to the Japanese Tea Garden and walked around Colmar Tropicale. We stayed in the "Dahlia" block of Colmar Tropicale and it's so darned expensive!! Basically, everything is so expensive there! It's a French-themed place right down to the customer service :p Chin Aun got the tickets for the Gala Dinner and it's RM68 per person! and the food is so limited... but the atmosphere was very festive though ;) hehe... This is a photo of us at dinner, where we met this really nice couple with 5 kids! Whoa!

Zeeks came around 5pm (Sher Mein invited him and he's supposed to meet with her and the rest of the gang here) but we were napping so we only managed to catch up with him after dinner. Where we *ahem* rescued him because he left his car elsewhere! haha... Actually... I'm kinda lazy to write so I'll just upload a few more photos and let them do the talking :p hehe

This is Colmar Tropicale in the afternoon... the sky was dark, but it was still afternoon!

This is the night view of Colmar ... from 3 storeys up!!

This is a photograph taken at the gala dinner. Didn't manage to take photos of the stage (because it was away from our table and we were too lazy to walk there!) or the food (too many people!)

This is the stairway leading from the main entrance of Colmar to a pond with 2 pairs of swans (one pair white, the other pair black)... Looks good at night! Hehe...

The picture on the left: Zeeks, Me and Chin Aun, posing at 12am (it's Christmas!~ *wheeeeeee*)

The picture on the right: Sher Mein's bf, Sher Mein, Zeeks (what in the world is he doing?!), Me (yakking on the phone with Sue - exchanging Christmas greetings *grins*) and Chin Aun

Bie, thank you so much for taking me there *hugs* you know I love horses and I can't wait for our next trip up! Hehe... Just for horseback riding this time! (we really have to save up!) *wink* *muuuuaaaaaaks* Love you... and Merry Christmas!! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Stripes

Maybe it's addiction... Maybe it's infatuation... Maybe it's even love :p But whatever it is... I'm sooooo into it right now! Stripes rule!!! Okok... Just the vertical stripes. And maybe some assymetrical stripes... But horizontal stripes really doesn't do it for me... *yuck* they are soooooo out.

I love the corporate look... especially on men *ahem* and thus , with the additon of stripes into the male corporate look? Viola!~ That just spells Perfection~!

I've been looking and shopping around and currently the top 3 choices for the male corporate look plus stripes would be Topshop (Topman), G2000 and Dockers (nice pants! haha...). Some controversial issues regarding brands like Topman would be that it can be pretty chavvy. Well, I think most of the casual line IS kinda chav and scally but the work wear absolutely rocks! *drool* But then, of course, there's the controversial issue of whether one can pull it off, or not. Some people look great in it, while it does nothing for the rest. So, know which category you belong to before you invest! *winks* If you fall into the former category, stripes is an expensive but nevertheless a rewarding investment! *grins*

I can't pry myself away from those places and it's killing me! It's so expensive and yet I can't stop messing around with Chin Aun's wardrobe. BUT the good thing is... He likes stripes too! *grins* And he looks good in it (Maybe I'm biased, but so what?! :p)!~ Of course, with a little pastel colors infused with the stripes, the shirts look good enough to be eaten! *yum*

Therefore, in conclusion, corporate men are hot and the stripes just add to the heat.

Oh, corporate slave me...

Duty Free Goodies

Chin Aun went to Langkawi on Sunday (a 4 day 3 nights thingie) for his company's Annual Sales & Marketing Conference and lookie what he got for me!~ A sling-bag, a little sea-shell purse, a bracelet with tiny dolphins, 2 little thingies (I don't know what to call them!! One's red and the other's pink) and a whole load of chocolates! arwghhhhh!! Pimple seeds! Haha.. But if we're talking about chocs, I really do love M&M's, Toblerone and Ritter Sport (esp. the non-halal Rum & Raisin one!). There's another tiramisu-flavoured choc that he bought that I didn't add into the photo cos it's been halfway devoured :p

Thanks for much for the goodies, bie bie. But next time no need to buy ler... *muuuuaaaaaks*

Blind

I would fall asleep

Only in hopes of dreaming

That everything

Would be like it was before

But nights like this

It seems are slowly fleeting

They disappear as reality is crashing the floor

After all this time

I never thought we'd be here

Never thought we'd be here

When my love for you was blind

But I couldn't make you see it

Couldn't make you see it

That I loved you more

Then you will ever know

And part of me died

When I let you go

[Lifehouse - Blind]

Happy Birthday JiunJiun!~

Daniel & Adeline

My sister's married...

hehe... I can't believe it. We've been planning her wedding since early this year and the day is finally here!!! gosh!!!

In Cyberjaya (4th December 2005)

The wedding ceremony was held on the 4th of December at Cyberview Lodge in Cyberjaya and it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony I've ever been to (don't mind me if I sound biased :p). My sister's the most beautiful bride I have ever seen *teary eyed*

First, there was the "Tea Ceremony" which was held at 3pm, then there was the "Solemnization" at 5pm in the garden and finally the "Dinner/Reception" at 7pm.

We were blessed with great weather and even a rainbow!!

So many people came... even my old time buddy, Zeeks *grins* hehe... He's never gonna see this, so it doesn't matter if I upload his picture here :p

Oh yeah... if anyone's wondering why my hair and face is all dolled up, it's because I was the maid-of-honor/bridesmaid... hahaha... Boon Wei is the other bridesmaid ;) and while I looked rather silly, Boon Wei looked absolutely gorgeous!!! Look at how puny my eyes are!!! *cry*

This is me and my supposed "bestest" friend, Zeeks. Wahlau... can't believe I've known him for over 7 years already. 7 years of verbal sparring... How in the world could I have managed to endure him for so long??? And vice versa! hehe... Only God knows.. I'm so glad he took the time to come though he was so busy.. *sniff sniff*

This photo is taking after the solemnization in the garden...

This photo of my sis and daniel was taken when they were entering into the ballroom for the wedding dinner/reception *grin* nice leh? hehe...

During the dinner, I met so many relatives, I didn't even know who was who. And everyone kept commenting on my hair (thanks to Ling!! she's great with hair!!) and there were so many comments running along the lines of "ooohhh... you look so Japanese" (what Japanese!?!?) and "your hair so nice, you look so cute". BAH!!! sheesh... who wants to look cute at 23?!?!? Somebody please save me *cry*

This is a shot of ChinAun and I during the dinner... I've changed out of my maid-of-honor's top and into something ORANGE *whoa* which is sooooooooo unlike me :p hahaha....

ChinAun was so sweet that day.. helping out with all the photo taking and running of errands and basically keeping everything and everyone under control *hugs* thank you so so much bie... *muuuuuuaks*

And on the right, is a photo of me, Zeeks, Jiun and Boey during the dinner. Jiun and Boey were so sweet also... and so supportive. Being there for us since early in the morning until late at night *hugs* thank you both so so much!!! And thank you both also for making it to the dinner in Penang as well.. :)

And this would be David, my new "brother". It's a package deal, he comes with Daniel :p hahaha... He played the sax that night during the dinner. His performance is supposedly his wedding gift to Daniel and my sister :) but he was good... Zeeks was so impressed *grins*

In Penang (6th december 2005)

Anyways, my parents chartered a bus with Konsortium and took everyone of us back to Penang on Monday. The wedding dinner in Penang (a more informal dinner) was held at Jade Palace restaurant. Most of the people who went were relatives of the family and friends of my parents as well as friends of my sister and Daniel. But I was so happy because Jiun and Boey went also, and so did Mel and Ding, Mei Wei and Gim as well as Li Nee and Phyo *grins* 3 of my closest friends... gosh... I missed them so so much and I was so happy to see them. But we hardly had any time to talk cos I was busy running around helping my sister... Managed to snap some photos with them though! *grins*

Me and Li Nee!~ My partner in crime for many many years... I can share anything and everything with this girl. She'll never get shocked by anything that I do and vice versa. She brings out the devil in me *grin* hahaha... She'll do anything and everything with me and I miss her so damned much when I am in KL. Li Nee, if you ever read this, I just wanna let you know that I miss you so much and I wish you were here with me in KL so that we can continue the insanity that we left off in Penang... *hugs* love you lots girl...

And this is a picture of me and Mei Wei. The most happy-go-lucky girl that I have known in my whole life. Hehe... Got to know her in Form2 when she came to PG from KL and we've been buddies ever since. But the thing is, whenever I'm in KL, she in PG and when I'm in PG, she's in KL!!! *scream* that's why we can never get to meet up!!! until my sister's wedding.. Mei, I'm so glad you came and I'm so glad Gim came *hugs* come back to KL to visit me before I rot!!!

And finally, a picture of me and Mel *grin* my oldest buddy ever!!!! She looks prettier and prettier by the day *envious* Mel, I'm so glad that you came *hugs* and I'm also so glad that Ding came also!! I haven't seen him in eons!! and remember what he promised us!! *wink* hehe... we'll do what we want and the bill's on him *grin*

All in all, I'm just so happy to see all you guys cos I miss you all so much when I'm in KL *cry* life isn't the same without you all... sniff sniff...

During the ceremony, I hard to blink hard to push back all the tears. Heck, I don't even know why I felt like crying to begin with. But that night, when I went back home and my sister wasn't around, I couldn't sleep. Though she's often not at home, but this time it's different. Funny ya? I'm gonna miss my sister a lot...

Anyways, here's to her and Daniel *hugs* love you guys lots and wishing you many years of bliss and happiness and try to have some kids soon cos I'm getting kinda bored in KL :p (I just hope my sis doens't read this...)

A Busy Day

My sister's big day is drawing closer and we're all excited yet nervous. Still so many things to do!!!

Anyways, we went for a manicure and pedicure this afternoon at Kimarie in Taipan, Subang Jaya. She had french manicure and pedicure while I did simple nail art. So now, there's a tiny butterfly on nail of both my ring fingers as well as my big toe! haha... Cute though! The girls there who did our nails for us were very chatty and very nice too ;) My sis even signed up for a package!

Then we went to Cyberview for the wedding rehearsal. I really don't know how I am going to walk that day. I just hope that I don't fall flat on my face! :p Just gotta keep my fingers crossed. AND after that, we went to Sunway Pyramid (where I got my piercing) to buy some last minute stuff. I didn't know what to get for Daniel, so in the end bought him a luggage bag. And this is where I found the bag that I've been looking for all these while!! *beam* Look at it!! the PERFECT bag for my lappie *grins* It's not too big, (like those huge backpacks) it's black~! and it's a Samsonite *grins* (what else could a girl as for???) I've been dying to get a Samsonite bag for my lappie and looks like I finally got my wish~!

And somehow, the shopaholic in my just emerged and I bought a skirt and a pair of socks from Esprit as well as a pair of sandals... Hohoho... I am so broke now... But it's worth it, I guess. After today, I think my shopping activities have got to come to an immediate halt... Otherwise, I'm gonna have to eat sand for the following weeks...

My final one...

Notice anything different in this photo from the photo in the previous post??? *grins*

I got YET another piercing today!!! *BIGGER GRIN*

And now although I'm no longer even but I'm complete (well, at least I FEEL complete). When I came home, I just asked Chin Aun to look at my ear and all he could tell me is that I've successfully rendered him speechless :p Told him not toworry though, this is my final ear piercing. I don't intend to get any more done (I think...)

This is my left ear, by the way. I didn't get another one on my right ear cos I don't feel like wanting to be even. Need some assymetries! I don't even know why I did it cos I actually intended to do it a month from now. Ah well...

I think I'm in love with my own ear. I've been staring at this photo for the past 10 minutes and I still can't stop...

And I did it again~

I did it on my left ear this time... hehehe... now I am wondering how I am going to sleep tonite... hmmmm... I think I have to lie down on my back instead of sleeping on my side ;)

I can't believe it... I wanted to get 2 shots at the same time but I was afraid that it would be painful so I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait until next month. Then I'm gonna get another one on top of this one *grins* I CAN'T WAIT!!! hehehe...

This is the only thing that's keeping me going in these dire times...

Do you think anyone can ever get addicted to piercing?!?

I finally did it!!!

I did it!~ I finally did it!~!!! *grins*

I'm so happy... hehe... I finally got my cartilage pierced!!! My right cartilage... ahem... It's also known as helix piercing...

I've always been wanting to do it but I chicken out every time. Instead, I always get my ear lobes pierced and since I already have 3 on each lobe, I've decided to stop being such a big chicken and come right out to do it!! hehe...

I was so scared that it was going to hurt that I kept putting it off. Until last night. I figured if I want it, then might as well go and get it done. To hell with regrets. It didn't hurt at all :) One of my friends told me once that if we are feeling any emotional pain, we wouldn't be feeling the physical pain so much. But am I going through any emotional distress, that I am not aware of? I don't know... Maybe my pain-threshold has increased ;) for someone who's so scared of pain (I still maintain that I am allergic to pain, no matter what anyone says!) this is a great achievement!!!

Come to think of it, the only time I cried while piercing was when I was 5 years old. My first piercing. Then I got my second piercing when I was doing my diploma and I was upset that I got a C for accounting that I decided to do something out of the ordinary. My second piercing, that was. My third piercing was when I first came down to KL. THAT time I was REALLY distressed, which would explain why I didn't feel tha pain at all? I'll never know... Then one of the holes closed up cos I dropped my earring and I went back to the shop and got it re-pierced. And still it didn't hurt. Was anything bothering me then? I don't remember... And finally, today. I pierced my cartilage. And it didn't hurt... So... what's the deal?

To everyone who's reading this... Do you think it's true what my old friend said? The following is her statement:

"You won't feel so much of the pain physically if you're already hurting inside"

I don't know if it's true... what do you think? *ponder ponder*
If it's true, then the next time I get emotionally hurt, I'm piercing my navel *grins*

PS: Sue, stop being mad at me... I promise that I'll get my next one done with you. I think I'll get one either above or below the current one in around a month from now? *winks* I'm addicted...

Some gifts...

I went shopping with my sister for some last minute wedding stuff (she's getting married this weekend!!! hehehe) and we came across this little shop in Sunway Pyramid that sells ethnic looking clothing. I tried on this dress but since I'm currently lacking in the fiscal department, I've decided not to buy it, even though I love it. My darling sister then offered to pay half of the total amount~! Wheeeeeeee~! I'm so happy~! I love my dress!!! Thank you so much, Cher~! In addition to that, she treated me to a spa facial this morning while she got hers done *grins* Thanks so so much!~

And... This is a photo of my hair in a ponytail.. (it's been ages since I tried my hair!! Feels like old school days *winks*) and the sweet purple ribbon on it is a gift from dear Jiun (who thinks that I should keep in touch with what's left of my "sweet" side before it dissipates completely *grins*) isn't that sweet of her? ;) I haven't had a ribbon in my hair since 3-4 years back when I got twin ribbons (christmas colored ribbons) from Melissa (Mel, if you are reading this, I still have those ribbons at home!! And I still love them *hugs*).. hehe... Thanks so much dear Jiun!~

Dinner at Saisaki

ChinAun finally took me to dinner at Saisaki~! hahahaha... We've been wanting to go for so long already and we kept putting it off.I love sushi and sashimi as much as bees love honey. We went immediately after he came home from work and though he was very tired and had a pending presentation the next day, he still took me all the way to town, traffic jam and all (awww.... *sniff sniff* Thank you bie~! *muuaaks* Love you so much...)

The service there was pretty good and the food was great!! hahaha... I only managed to snap ONE miserable photo of the food cos after we dug in, we forgot about taking photos already! hehe...

See the sake sashimi and the unagi on my plate? hahaha...

But we did take some more pictures after eating though! *winks* We HAD to do something cos we were too stuffed for words, so what better to do than to snap photos, right? ;)

Hmmm... I wonder when's the next time we're gonna go back? *grins*

My new sunnies!

*drool*
Isn't it gorgeous?!!? *starry eyed*

I asked my cousin to get it from me from US (don't happen to see any Tommy Hilfiger sunnies around here!) She asked me what color sunnies I wanted and I HAD to say purple~! I already have a pinkish one (rose colored??) which I bought early this year for a whopping RM300 (insanity knows no bounds!!! Why on earth are sunglasses always so darned expensive?!?!) Anyways, she managed to get this for under USD100 and it's a steal~!

I love it so much... hahaha...
