Me: All or Nothing

yes, you love me, then again what is it about me that you love? 

:: snapshot from an instagram caption of a dear friend of mine. more of his thoughts at http://abelnang.wordpress.com/ ::

I'm soft,

I forgive easily, 

I let go of grudges,

I choose to remember only the good and kindness that people have extended to me,

I choose to ignore how others have hurt me.

so if you hate me for being able to let go and accept those who have wronged me, you don't even love me for who I am.

my flaws, whole and center, 

my past, then and there. 

make peace with them, 

put it behind,

else there's never going to be a moving forward.

love me,

again...

love me, 

or not at all...

We Complement Each Other ♥

In Malay:

"Hawa dijadikan dari rusuk Adam
dan bukan dari kepalanya untuk dijunjung,
bukan pula dari kakinya untuk dijadikan pengalas
tetapi adalah dari sisinya untuk dijadikan teman hidup,
dekat dengan lenganya untuk dilindungi,
dan dekat dengan hatinya untuk dicintai."

In English:

"Eve was made of a rib out of the side of Adam;
not made out of his head to rule over him,
nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him,
but out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected,
and near his heart to be beloved."

Somehow the Malay version speaks to me more. Love this so much!

Red ♥

Jean, Vanes, Angeline, me, JooEe, Karine, Janice. (missed YeanMay, Kelly, and Helen in this shot)

nope! it's not Chinese New Year yet. haha. no need to panic and check your calendars. thinking that you might have missed the celebration. this is a celebration alright, just a different kind of a celebration. a celebration of love. yessss. a chinese marriage ceremony. the first time a close friend of mine got married, the first time for me as a bridesmaid, "ji mui" as the chinese call it, sister to the bride.

loved that as the "ji mui" we got to scheme and come up with ways to torture the groom and his "brothers" before he managed to come take her away. speaking of which, my Mr. R was one of the brothers. which means that he had no choice but to obey my every single order and complete all the obstacles we set out or else his buddy wouldn't have the chance to get his bride.

spot any pair of lips you wish to kiss?

one of the challenges. only one kiss mark belonged to the bride. the rest were all made by the bridesmaids. the groom was to pick the right one. he only got 3 chances to choose. each wrong pick resulted in penalties ;D hee. the poor fella never got it. haha though it was a pair of lips he had been kissing all along.

the sweet couple and all the groom's "brothers"

now you get the picture. definitely not CNY. sneaked a shot when they were posing for the photographer and videographer. the wedding date - 27.1.2013. so happy for them! here's wishing them a happy and blessed marriage now and always.




that's about it. the remainders of this post are just some vain pics. a must, since we don't dress up like walking angpows everyday! didn't manage to get as many as i would have liked though :/

a picture with Angeline

One Lucky Girl

yes.

i am. indeed. extremely grateful and blessed to be showered with so much.

have all along been feeling the love and vibes from family and friends... and this is such a great bonus on top of it all. and no, i'm not refering to the many red packets i've received or the abundance of good food and wonderful company i've had this entire chinese new year celebration.

the men in my life splurged on me! i received 2 expensive gifts along with all the other good things going on.

this here below, is one of them:

am now the happy owner of this white lady; courtesy of my bro :)


filler:
don't label me flower hearted / not loyal to the htc sensation xe k...
been waiting for ages for that phone.
but it's already been out of stock for 4 months and counting...
can't wait liao, especially when this white beauty is so mouth-wateringly tempting!

and this here, is a vain shot of myself captured and edited with my white beauty:
(somewhat containing some portion of the other pressie from the other guy xP )

not the shades!
haha, if you guessed that.
it's the car. can't believe i now own a car of my own. with the cutest McD number plate :P

thank you daddy ♥ thank you kor ♥

love the 2 gifts so much and am uber excited as i've never received such BIG presents before.



this is one super chinese new year!

hope that it was just as great for everyone else too.

happy chinese new year and best wishes to all!



yours truly,
the lucky girl.

Day 6 - July 17

A photo of an animal you'd like to keep as a pet:







I want this!











super cute ♥












then again, i won't want to take them away from their mummy and original home.

one thing my Teh Gek Seng has always taught me is not to keep pets.

we are curbing their freedom when they could be out there where they really really belong. once or twice, we might forget to feed them. and i'm sure we are not able to provide for their every single need. and since they won't be able to tell us, it will never be the best for them.

and i know SOMEONE who has killed all of the pets he ever had.

i don't want to be like him!

Her Happily Ever After :)

this is just the girls' side wedding dinner, and the church wedding is next saturday which i painfully am unable to attend because of work :/

my first time with a D3100. and from the pictures, it's obvious that i don't know a single thing about DSLRs. And even if i went through the manual inside out, i'll still probably not get a thing out of it. too dumb to understand the terms used. but this dumb girl still wants to learn how to take better photos!

she's gorgeous, always will be!

simply love her dress! fits her oh so perfectly.

cuzzies :)

my family :D




next, taken with my hp!
a vain self shot xP






and the last pic taken with normal digi cam:
me and the man's who's been there for me for over 20 years!


my one and only dad.


happy father's day!

i love you pa.

Accidentally in Love

Dear Bloggie,

I know I shouldn't have.
I know I'm not supposed to.

But I couldn't help it.
Fell helplessly.
Especially when i'm not supposed to.

Never thought that I'd be able to feel this way again.
When I least expected to.

I fell so deep.

Am now hopelessly in love again.

Want to get to know the guy that made my heart melt?

One chance is all you need to give to him.

And you'll love him as much as I do too.


Just click on the play button below!

Surprised?

Never knew he sung decent songs like this huh?

Definitely beats standing in the middle of some bowling lane picking up chicks.


Anyway, the movie was awesome.
Caught it upon request(s)/pestering(s) from Ed and Ray.
We 3 sohai-s even wore hoodies there.
So many people were looking like we were his biggest fans or something.
We weren't even bielibers at that time.

Watching the movie somehow changed how i felt about him.

Really terpikat liao ♥


Now I'm a BIELIBER!

Yours sincerly

I love it and hope you love it too !

a random announcement :

我不是香蕉!

and here's how i rate my Chinese proficiency:

spoken - 8/10
written - 4.5/10

yea, it's not top notch, but i'm pretty happy with it :P
i usually skip a few words here and there a lot of words while reading a paragraph but i've no problem comprehension wise. i actually do understand what i'm reading okayyy xD

as a Chinese, of course i celebrate cny. it's my all time favourite holiday :) love all the traditions, all the people, all the gatherings, all the different feelings as we welcome in the new year.

and of course this celebration comes with loads of work - cooking, baking, cleaning etc. but hey, all in all, every drop of sweat spent juggling all the work is always worth it. the fun side however is simply unbeatable. shopping, girls! having an excuse to get all kinds of outfits even though we already have wardrobes and wardrobes full of clothing. adding the umpteenth pair of shoes to our humongous collection of footwear. and probably getting a new hairdo, be it colour or curls. i haven't even mentioned the glorious glorious food that we only get this every once a year plus all the goodies and angpows ;)

i've already had a great new year's eve and am very much looking forward to tomorrow :D

hope everyone enjoys this cny weekend as much as i will !

a shout out to everyone:

Happy Chinese New Year !

and may this year of the rabbit bring good luck and fortune to all of you.

my cousin's cute lil rabbits :)

and imma end this post with something in chinese xP

祝大家新年快乐, 万事如意, 心想事成, 步步高升.


ps:// i typed it all ! no cut and paste kay xP
