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 :/

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.

super inconsistent twenty ten.

this year so far has brought me feelings so vast that i find it hard to believe that i am actually this unstable. lol. perhaps, this diagram can give you a lil idea on the emotional toll i took throughout 2010.

scary?
and it's not because of pms!

my summary:

Jan

had a great new year's dinner with family. excited bout theater. worked my ass off for it. conflict. got pissed at some people.

Feb

rehearsal. rehearsal. rehearsal. had fun preparing food for the theater. theatre was a success. early valentine’s celebration. cny ♥

March

dikir puteri. one malaysia day. microteaching project. birthday. sem break.

April

pressies. lies. fights. covering up.

May

more fights. coming clean. making up. got hurt. hurt someone. didnt bother to even try to work things out. living in pretense. gossiping and back stabbing.

June

final semester. straying further and further away from her. ignored that. hung out without her instead. felt guilty but ignored it. a lot of travelling between subang and s.a.

July

competency test results. sem break. drove a manual car for the 1st time in mlk. practicum briefing. freaked out. where the hell is kuchai lama. moved from s.a. to subang. hired a driver on a contract basis, a very dedicated one that is ;)

August

lots of stress and pressure. tired and worn out. prepared teaching materials. endless lesson plans. waking up at 5.30am every day. dropping dead in bed by 10.00pm. no life. miss my friends badly. realised that i havent been a good friend. realised how much she cared about me. i'm just plain selfish.

September

tried to make it up to her. sick of i-ppl. readers' theater project. freaking sick of i-ppl.

October

raya hols. cameron. got to know my students better. started to actually enjoy my practicum. god damn freaking sick of i-ppl. observations one after another. end of practicum.

November

a lot of time to myself. change of occupations from student to cheap maid. lots of barney stinson. results day. no direction. finding it hard to make decisions. failed to plan.

December

a lot of travelling between mlk and subang. job interviews. conflicts of interests. afraid. unsure. convocation ceremony. started a temp job. still am unsure.

there you go. that's about it. that's how my 2010 flew by so quickly.

as inconsistent as twenty ten may be, i feel truly blessed with all the great people in my life. am eternally grateful for all the love, care, support, and attention from my friends, my family, and my boyfie. i know that i'll never be alone. and with this, i'm not afraid of twenty eleven and am looking forward to it because i have all of you :)

let's make a new year's wish.

i wish for

yeah. i think that's the main thing i'm hoping for.

wishing everyone out there a great year ahead and may all of you achieve what you aim for.

why is the beach so far away?

been wanting to go for so long, and finally we actually got our asses there. the guys planned everything and me and Ray were like the vip-s who got exclusive invites and were personally chauffeured there xD

and this is the hotel where the lucky-basket-show-off chung yii was staying at:


he stayed here for free! and i guess this was why he got thrown into the sea by the guys. hee. jealous jealous.

pretty pic kan? thanksss bybyyy ♥

i hope you love taking pics of me as much as i love my pic being taken :P

by the time we got there it was starting to get dark and all of us chipped in to help get the fire started. it was really windy out on the beach and it wiped out any trace of fire we had going. and so all of us gathered in a circle around the pit to keep the wind out. all of a sudden, someone made a speech which went like this :

lets have a moment of silence please.

surprisingly, everyone cooperated and bowed their heads down in silence. the silence lasted for quite a few minutes and it really looked as if we were praying for the victims of some catastrophe somewhere. lol.

i guess that the silence really helped. because after several failed attempts, the coals started burning and we could finally start to cook! and boy, were our stomachs happy. it was my 1st time bbq-ing by the sea and also my very 1st time eating sand. LOL. didnt get any pics though cos we were so busy playing with the chickens, balls and dogs.

before we left, we raised our glasses and drank a toast.

here's to friendship.

and memories with you people :)

generosity

remember something i said about free tickets?

well, here they are:

ray got them on they way to pick me up from school 2 weeks ago on the 2nd last day of my intern. he was stuck in the jam, got bored, sms-ed and actually won them :D

the surprise was they gave us 4 passes instead of 2 (how generous of hitz.fm) and the movie was going to start in in less than 20 minutes. the guys were having their exams tmr and wanted to study, plus i doubt that they could make it on time. so we just walked around and gave it to a random couple who were queuing up at the ticketing counter (how generous of us), and of course, they grabbed it immediately. free movie passes, who don't want woh? plus its a premiere screening, the movie not out yet woh, 3D summore woh. haha.

come to think of it, four free 3D passes, worth about rm 72. spread the generosity. and the movie was great. fresh storyline, humour, you name it. totally enjoyed it.



thank you-s to all who made it possible!

ps:/ do watch Megamind, it's out on the 4th Nov :)

post bd treats.

this year, my birthday was sandwiched between 2 papers of my final examination. i had to study. my friends had to study. practically, there was no gap, no time, and no mood for celebrations at all. after the exams, i rushed back for cheng beng and didnt even say goodbye.

** For my friends who don't know what Cheng Beng is :

Actual Date: 5th April 2009
(Cheng Beng can be done 10 days before and after the actual day)

Qing Ming, Cheng Beng or All Souls' Day, also known as the Tombs Sweeping Festival, falls on April 5th every year except for leap years when the festival falls on April 4th.

During Cheng Beng, graves of ancestors and the dearly departed are visited by relatives and friends who come together from far to pay their respects annually. The Chinese community can be seen weeding and cleaning the graves of those departed as well as providing offerings of the departed's favourite food and burn joss-sticks, hell notes and gold bars which allows the departed to make purchases where they are. Daily necessities such as clothes and shoes are also burnt for the dead to use. This 20 days period is when souls of the departed leave the underworld and enter this worldly realm to accept offerings from their living relatives.

back in mlk during the sembreak, met up with S and she gave me a pressie which she so conveniently forgot to peel the price tag off. thanks to those who shared! bro gave me cash xP dad treated me to dinner n cake. sis gave me a treasure hunt where i had to run around searching for clues which led to my present. (she too free d!) cracked my head, but it was worth it :)

thanks lil sis ♥

when i returned after the semester break, i was immediately greeted with gifts from the boyfriend, which was followed by several others by my dear and a few other dudes. thank you so muchh!

• Byy - it's a reminder of what we share. i'll keep it close. always! ♥ ♥ ♥
• Dear - hugging it every night!
• Chanel - like it very much babe!
• Alphie - didn't know you're so sentimental~

had a little outing on zue's birthday, it's her day! but i had my share of br cake as well. belated cake. hee. thanks Al! you made my day after that horrible class with prof. J.


Zue, hope it cheered u up and helped u get well after being sick for so long!
