So what do people wear to Malay weddings???? I have one to attend tomorrow!!!! oh my gosh!!

The ladayss told me how twas a pity and how they had sensed N's excitement when he shared with them about our shop. I quote, "we could really sense tt he was very excited about it.." I know... :( Thankew very muchie!!

I felt it was a pity too :(

Long anticipated dinner

Looking forward to tt long awaited dinner tonight. It was tough trying to get a common slot for everybody. But there are some last min calls and commitment, so we wouldnt have the full attendence tonight. As usual. *sigh*

The initial jubilant thought of sharing my new passion with these shophalics has just been jeopardised yesterday. Well, at least I know I have this group of supporters who will be there for me should I ever achieve something out of it.

From a series of personal experience recently, I just grow to realise how fortunate I am. To have someone in my life, to guide and to teach me. To have someone point out my mistakes and make me a better person. To have someone tell me in the face tt PMS doesnt give woman the right to be flare up and be rude to ppl. Most importantly, to have someone make decisions TOGETHER with me, not because I am unable to make decisions on my own. The root of togetherness.

And I know I am surrounded by people who love me. That's enough to leave no regrets in my decision. Well, and now I can make it to the Friday's dinner invitation, which I had politely declined, cos I had some biz commitment earlier. I do like to hang out with those new ppl in my life :) *YAY*

I know I am loved. And always will be.

10-day marriage crash course

Yeah. So N & I are going to embark on a new journey in our lives! :)

A 10-day crash course, granted by N's dad and mum! :)

Got up early Sun morning (not exactly very early...But I have to make it sound like a gruelling crash course yeah? hahaha) to learn the ropes to THE WASHING MACHINE!!!!! There was much more to washing than to just dump every piece of clothe into the machine!!

It has been agreed that we d both split the role of washing and ironing. Maybe cleaning/preparing and cooking (I will take the former!) :) Pastor, over the wedding last last Sat, said we needed more than love to build a home. We need some hardwork too! I say, it takes 2 to build a home. 2 persons' efforts to run the house.

Use the woman's patience to scrub the grease. Use the man's strength to hang out the poles. And of course, many more to go!

So much to look forward to. Even though I think I will miss our baby who s housed at me home :) Then again, I will only be N's homey 'other half' on selected days :) :)

Bless us as we build our nest :) And let us not turn the whole house into a disaster! :P

Murphy sleeps

Touched

I always thought a church wedding is the loveliest and sweetest way to to get married.

It was a touching scene while the groom sang (in public eyes for the 1st time) as his bride walked in. It was even more touching as he sang his pledge to their love while staring her in the eye. I tried to hold back those tears of joy.

And then they said the oath. Somehow, something pricked me from within. I dunno what. Probably, like what they say, God touches your heart and that somewhat shows as an emotion. Or it could be just, me. Teary, emotional me.

Then they had to have a speech to thank everybody. And that is usually some touchy speech. Thanking the wonderful parents for the great parenthood..the parents-in-law for the greater parenthood in bringing up the other half..the promises to continue letting the son or daughter be well taken care of...

All these just touches my heart. I cannot imagine myself giving such a speech without a single drop of tear.


At the end of the wedding, I turned to N and said, "Can we dun ever have a church wedding???"

I think I d cry by just walking down that lovely aisle. And be a teary bride. ^_^

pretty things picture overload

picture of the sexy dress as promised, the one complimented by pin. A little flesh revealed. And probably a subconscious attempt to replicate the seductive circular motion around the bustline for a certain brassiere advert. *hoho* the brassiere didnt work for me. advertorial misrep. ^_^



fake eyelashes and glitter at the corner of my eyes to finish the look with the sexy number. Posed with the little one. that was the night before we found that he had ticks on the body. i squirmed at the thought of having kissed those ugly creatures - see how close i put little one to my face???? o_O



favoritest pair of snug fitting jeans found in kuching! and i wore it with almost anything! the skirts i brought over was of no use cos i commute in a van daily. And the gigantic leap I have to do to get off the van would make skirts the least comfy wear to don on.



the pretty things I bought! there are more! but no pictures taken :) and i finally bought a fushia-black piece and a fushia shoe!!! and mannny mannnny more pretty things!:)

*I am a happy girl now*

ok dokz! need to get ready for that wedding march in :) N is already the best man there. So I need to go get dressed

Day 7. 4 more to go!!

Murphy report: He is down with rashes :( Tummy, legs and the hands.

alrighty, i know they are called PAWS. but I trained my dog this way!! Ask him for "hand hand", and he'd give you his hand. Sucha cutie little baby boy. I am gushing over him already.

Pinky says its probably due to the dettol mopping and has gotten him some rash cream. it hurts. and he is licking the rash cream. She is supposed to come msn tonight and webcam with me. But Murphy slept by 830 already. I guess he is 'mummy' sick :(

I miss you too.. :(

Old and Grown up

Being away from home alone really forces you to grow up. Sometimes, when the circumstances put you to it, you have no choice but to learn how to do it. We live in a comfortable and sheltered setting all our lives. Sometimes it is not because we don’t know how to do it, rather it is more of our cultivated dependency on others which subconsciously makes us think that there’s someone else who can do it.

I had to kill those roaches that were crawling into my room, kill the big flying ant that was resting so comfortably on my bed last night. I bought Bygon though. And I actually Bygon-ned my bed last night :) when I said learning to grow up, I din mean anything more courageous than using the Bygon or the mosquito repellent to spray those crawlies till they curl up. Still, it is an achievement already. :)

Roamed the streets of Kuching alone yesterday. Spent a lot of me-time. Quarreled with the cab driver over a RM2 difference in cab fare over my reserve price. I know. RM2 is not a lot and not worth arguing for. I just couldn’t stand those cheater bugs who are all out to KA foreigners like me. It’s the principle. I gave him that extra RM2 in the end and slammed the door GODAMNN hard, praying the glass doesn’t shatter on the spot. The softy and scare-dy cat in me should have asked him to take it or leave it, and then I risk running into a crook driver who lays ambush while I do my shopping and probably beat me up when I take the quiet lanes back to the hotel. Imagination. N always says I watch too much junk on TV.

Contrary to all the horror stories that the pig and dog friends have been scaring us (Elaine and me) with, I sleep well at nights. Except for Saturday cos I had a caffeine drink too many during the day. At least I tried the kopitiam kopi that the internet was talking about. :)

Bought sooo many many things I don’t know how this flying job is going to sustain the shopping. Luckily I don’t have to fly that often. :) so eager to post the purchases online but din bring the data wire over. I resorted to mms-ing the purchases cos I was soo excited to show the recipients what I bought for them :) I hope MMS isn’t that expensive here.

Meanwhile N is in Beijing now and he is seeing a lot of fake Iphones everywhere! I hope he can get one for me to play with :)

Day 5. 6 more to go!

Tick report: only two found on Murphy today!

Tick repellent report: 1 repellent bought that can be used on human body and fabric. 1 body rash spray.

Thankfully for the sisters who have been giving Murphy all the TLC he ever needs right now. I had a brief conversation with him earlier. Pinky says his ears twitched when he heard me. He tilted his head sideways when he heard the familiar sentence of doggy lingo I always use on him ;> Guess he still aint used to hearing me over the little rectangular boxy thing we call a phone. :)

Can't wait to get back home to cuddle the little one.

I miss him already :(

Ticky irritating ticks!

Found those irritating bugs on Murphy's body after I sent him down for a groom. OUCH!
my poor boy was covered in ticks and we did not realise it :(

Felt so bad tt he has been suffering from the bites for at least a week or more now... :( :( i m sucha bad mummy.

Lucky there was N with me to de-tick him after he came back from the groomers. There were alot alot alot of them. All hidden under the fur. Even though we already shaved him totally, there were still alot hidden under the 1 mm long furs.

I finally understood how the power of love can overcome fear. I removed those bugs with bare hands tgt with the help of N. Now I know why my mother is not afraid of cockroaches and lizards whenever we scream for her help.

Mothers are the bravest mammels in the whole wide world! They'd overcome any fears instantly to protect their babies! :)

Poor Murphy couldnt zzz last night and kept jumping onto my bed to snuggle with me. I think he felt scared, being shaved & spent a long time in the day being scrutinised inch by inch and all. And his bed has been thrown away cos it was infested with eggs...

I felt so sorry i have to travel tomorrow..he needs all the TLC he ever needs these few weeks..de-ticking is gg to take some time cos we couldnt really remove all the eggs tt are not obvious to the naked eye..

:(

my poor boy...

Cavers Nostalgi-ance

Over at an ex-collic's wedding dinner on Sat night and it was a gathering of the cavers. Her very sweet hubby, then boyfriend, advised her to quit long long time ago and promised to give her a tai tai life. Work is hectic for those in the industry. The poor boyfriends have no chance to meet their mugging ladies on weekdays, and very minimal chance of meeting on weekends. I was guilty of that too and I spent most of my days & nights with those cavers, who gradually became my pillar of support and companionship for dinners/suppers & late nights in the office.

It was a good sign that our 2 tables were mostly made up of ex-ers. Many left for the better, greener patch on the other side. :)

The bride? Hopefully she fulfills her hubby's dream of providing for her tai tai life soon :) such an envy..

PIN saw me in my prettay deep V satin number and asked if I got it from BC. His gf and I are partners of a shopaholicious crime!

I proudly beamed that it was not!! :) :) (I will post a sneak pic up tonight!)
But I recognised alot of their dresses at the dinner though...

OH! did I mention the bride is also one of my partners in crime of online shopping too?! We oft help each other out when either one of us cant be in front of the comp to 'comment' on our orders! :)
