She just thinks of it when someone asked her, “What is the point of getting married if you are not being together, literally.” Now she is looking both answer and solution to her dilemma. She loves her husband so much but has no plan whatsoever to be with him. Is she having a midlife crisis? Will they live happily ever after? Only weekends will tell.Aminoreply@blogger.comBlogger931100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852496404853483334.post-89105850028153846602011-12-28T23:28:00.008+08:002011-12-30T12:18:28.879+08:00

Today Abi took time off from work. The special thing about it is this was his idea, not mine. He applied for the leave last week; I had nothing to do with that. The plan was to take me out shopping well, think I am going to cry now. I mean, there are tonnes of nice stuffs my husband gives me already. Too much as in my being grateful alone is never enough to thank him. However, if he ought to do

Today I decided to hop onto the MRT heading towards Orchard Road. The personal shopper in me felt the urge to browse in stores and spend a little. After getting down at Somerset station, I made my way to the first H&M store in Orchard Building.The initial plan was to check out a couple of items like shoes and turtlenecks. Apparently, the stuffs displayed there did not call out to me plus I was

5amI woke Abi up because we were going to have Singapore mee hoon for sahur. Talk about irony, huh? Just as he cleared everything on his plate, I went into the study, brought out his birthday gift from the drawer and sang birthday song (grin), surprise! I loved the look on my husband's face: unsuspecting! So today he turned another year older (aaaww). Oh he is always a wiser man than any

3.30amThis year, I had a funny way of entering Ramadan. I got up to prepare Abi's work attire. Then I cooked instant noodle for early breakfast as today we began fasting.Yesterday, we ate quite generous chicken rice dish at lunch. For dinner my husband enjoyed nasi kandar and I rojak so we really could not stuff more food into our little tummies, hence the instant noodle. Hmm.5amWe were driving

The title kind of says it all. Really.2pmYesterday, I walked out of the house heading to DTE. Along the way, I stopped by at Popeyes and casually asked the server at the counter if I could redeem a couple of items. Actually, I got a code the from Internet that entitled me for free food (tongue). The best part of the whole process was she did not hesitate at all. I was amazed myself!Now kindly

4.30amLast Monday, Abi and I left home in a cab darn early. We were heading to the airport because there was an appointment to keep. Before catching the first flight back to the Lion City, my husband and I shared a large coffee. Hence, he slept all the way (grin). Although, I could not close my eyes for I was feeling a bit claustrophobic sitting on window seat and tad suspense. Touching down

9.30amAbi and I both overslept this morning. The condition we were in did not show signs of getting any better today. My throat was itchy as ever I needed to cough it out so I would feel a lot easy.Yet we went out to enjoy breakfast at DTE (grin). I ordered mee siam which did not really matter because my taste bud stopped working. He could not complain much about his fried koay teow, too.12pmWe

They say there is a first time for everything. Well yesterday was the worst first night alone in a foreign country, ever! I am not going to hide anything from you, I cried like the biggest baby in the world (boo hoo).It was not the spending time on my own that frightened me. It was the fact that I could not leave this country due to unfinished immigration business. I was darn scared if anything

11amThank God it is Friday. The weather is cloudy and very windy with a chance of rain (yay)! It has not rain since we touched down here last two days. I am beginning to feel sick, literally. The temperature is so high I was experiencing headache earlier and now chesty cough. So it is a good thing if it rains today (cross fingers).Anyway I am all cleaned up and dressed up with nowhere to go, yet.

4.55amI set the alarm clock to go off at 4.45am but just managed to get up ten minutes later (yawn). Quickly, I went into the kitchen and prepared instant noodle for really early breakfast (yawn, again).11amI had the chance to sleep in finally, because of a few reasons. Actually we arrived last night from KL thus still tired from the journey. In addition, I was fasting today and the weather

12.30pmI am enjoying lunch with my husband at Pizza San Francisco (yummy). He had meatball spaghetti and I tuna melts with mushroom soup. However, written on their napkin is bruschetta and seafood soup as must try dish. Oh man! I got to taste those next time but I wonder when that would be. Hmm.3pmAbi is out for a football match. He is playing in an alumni league Ansara representing his school.

7.30amAbi and I got up early then drove towards Sri Petaling. There was an unsuspecting roadblock along the route taken but we managed to get away with it despite our road tax expired already in June! I guess a smiley but hungry face could not do much harm to national security (wink) right?8amWe were already enjoying breakfast at Nasi Lemak Tawaf. I had my usual egg and prawn sambal but my

1.30pmI am on the way back to KL (yay). Alright my getting excited about it just seems weird but whatever! I hope traffic is going to be kind despite that current issue we see on the news.By the way, what do you need a rally for? You are not being oppressed by anybody. Or you cannot say for sure if somebody had not played fair the last time. Besides, to suspect for foul play you need to come up

9amLaundry is complete. I am now catching a breath while sipping jasmine green tea. It is hoped to better this weak tummy. The cause for yesterday's so-called bowel mishap had been figured out. It is that bloody orange! Err I am not simply cursing. Seriously, see?4pmI just arrived home after a whole day out (phew).

9.30amThe one thing I almost forgot about staying home is that I become lazier when it comes to taking bath. It is only a matter of time before I would drag myself to the bathroom and soon find how much I despise shower (sigh).10.30amFinally tolerated a quick shower with coffee as my motivation. Tee hee. Now I am getting ready to go out and hang out where I could enjoy a good cuppa.11.30amI am

And today it was bring wife to work day (wink), literally.9amWe arrived at Raffles Medical for my check up purposes. They took my blood sample as I needed to undergo HIV test (again, I know). Besides that, X-ray imaging and seeing the doctor was

Just spoke to a colleague yesterday about her tendering the notice of resignation. Her last day will next Friday. She is getting married early next month and moving to Japan to be with her husband. Yeah strange how the world works, huh? Not a very safe choice of country to stay in nowadays, yet this bride-to-be risks it all in the name of love. So sweet, right?Well, I say good for her and wished

Last year it was handbags. Yeah I could not get those beauties off of my head. Any blogshop offering and selling the stuffs would caught my eyes immediately. Through them I managed to buy a signature hobo, leather satchel and checkbook clutch. It did not stop me there though because then, it got worse.During our trip to Boston, I went crazy! I lost count on how many times I visited Macy. Well,

Happier, get it?When I was younger and by this I mean last year (that was mere days ago) I did a lot of stuffs. Some are which I am actually proud of and others well, just plain stupid. Sure, there had not been much contribution coming from me to the society at large but I am pretty confident many of those around me were happy because that was what I tried to help making them feel. I did,

Yesterday Abi and I woke up early because we were going to have breakfast at IKEA. Before eight o'clock we were already knocking his brother's apartment to get them tagging along. Yeah we are that ruthless when it comes to eating program (tongue).So we managed to drag both brother and cousin to Mutiara Damansara. I was excited about the whole thing that we even arrived before the store opened.

Abi and I were given the opportunity to witness the Alonso-Ferrari dynamics be champion of the night. Following that, I persuaded my husband to stay for the concert although I know for the fact that he had to work the next day hence he would have just a few hours sleep (tongue). Alright, would somebody tell me why would I not want to see Mariah Carey, huh? So we (by this I mean me) sang along

As soon as we arrived home from 2010 F1 SingTel SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX qualifying night, Abi was officially infected with colds by yours truly. Poor baby is known to have lower immune system than mine, it was no surprise there.So we are both down with a disease that causes runny nose and a lot of sneezing. However, I got out of bed quite early to concoct breakfast dish from leftover rice. We had

Abi and I had late lunch about four o'clock today. Earlier we walked to the wet market getting cooking ingredients so I then prepared mix veggie dish and my husband, fried fish. I passed out a few times after meal.My throat is still sore from yesterday. I suspect it is because my colleagues and I braved the drizzle in Penang when looking for nasi kandar. Never had I thought that there is a price

Just last week, I had been granted an American visa. How about that, huh? Truth to the matter, I lost sleep prior to the interview. Apparently, the online application was repetitive and already stressful for me. So do not bother imagine the tension I went through (tongue). On the day I woke up darn early, dressed down and drove off to KL. I got a 7.40am session and found a long line in front

I joined a department outing to PD last two weekends. Well, it was not exactly my department but I decided to be around people that I love; the office girls, the division GM, the invited ex-colleague and the rest of young and talented designers. It began with a telematch program by the beach in the evening. I did not participate because I brought a competitive player (read: my husband). I

Funny that I received an uneducated comment for my blog, the guy (or at least I thought it was a he, since it failed to reveal his identity) made me feel like writing again. Miss me that much, huh?

Last Friday Abi and his two cousins waited for me at Changi Airport as I arrived from KL after 11 at night. We had supper before going home. All I knew was I slept rather early because we had a plan the next day: one my husband and I had always put on hold, until that weekend.Abi woke up and prepared us his fried mee hoon on Saturday morning. After a quite heavy brunch, the three boys and I hit

Last Saturday morning, Abi and I drove back to Paroi Jaya because mom-in-law prepared fried penne for breakfast. My husband ate so much of it that he forgot we had a wedding lunch to attend. So hoping there was still room in our tummies, we went to my colleague’s reception at midday. However, the burning hot climate killed off my eating mood although I was pretty sure I could stuff some more food

I do not find people who keep on reminiscing their glorious past, interesting. What is worse, they speak about memories from decades ago. It is fun if you do that at a school or university class reunion, but on a day-to-day basis? Came on, this is downright sad!Almost always you would hear stuffs like, “When I was studying in the UK...” or “I was voted queen at prom back in 1816…” So my following

Last Friday I paid RM3.80 to stand all the way from Serdang to Nilai in a stinky Komuter. Another RM4 was to sit from Nilai to LCCT on a shuttle bus that took forever to get there. Furthermore, they asked us to get down and get on another coach at KLIA because the one I was in had terminated its service. So I did and the bus conductor had the nerve to ask me to pay the fare again or to show him

January 14, 2000 – 2010Yeah you read the title right. It has been ten full years since Abi and I decided to be together. Along the way, we broke each other’s heart and mended the other’s cuts, literally. Our life journey has seen many challenges in various events throughout the decade. Longevity has taught us what a relationship is all about. Without knowing, we kind of raise each other in this

Abi and I woke up darn early last Saturday because in the car park, his brother and boy cousin were waiting for us. At about 4.30 in the morning we all left for the airport and met another two guy cousins over there. During check-in, one of them almost could not make the flight because the airline policy required its passengers to produce passport having six months gap between departure and

Last Thursday night I flew into Changi Airport where Abi had waited for me so we could have dinner together. He already ordered a takeout prior to my arrival which was thoughtful (kiss). However, I failed to push in that last pizza piece down my throat because it was real cheesy and I was, well, sleepy. So I saved the leftover to continue eating it on the next day.I woke up when my husband was

Last month when I cooked lunch one weekend in our Pasir Ris home, Abi invited his guy cousin working in JB to come over and join us for the so-called feast. On one hand, he really enjoyed my gulai lemak tenggiri, thank God. On the other hand, he could not believe that I learnt preparing it from the Internet.

It is impossible for me to detail out all happenings for the past one month. So here is my life in recap:Last weekend, I drove down to Singapore with brother-in-law, his guy cousin and mom-in-law. We met Abi’s kid sister and her boy cousins at Pasir Ris home.Mom-in-law cooked her famous “mee mama” on Saturday much to everybody’s delight. Although eight hungry kids had to wait for their turns as

Abi and I celebrated our first day of Hari Raya in Penang. In fact, we were already on our way over there two days prior to the big day. I had also promised myself to break the fasting with grandmother; and dad in Sungai Petani. I managed to fulfill them all, thank God.We performed our Raya prayer at the Al-Jamiul Badawi Mosque in which the former Prime Minister and family were also present. Tun

On Monday I went out with the girls from office for breaking the fast. This time our choice of venue was a restaurant that carried an American name but served all kinds of Italian food.Ironic? Sarcastic? Tongue in cheek? Well I am not sure, you be the judge.Anyhow, restaurant’s concept apart, it was a cozy eating place and near to both our office and the highway toll so we could go straight home

The car got into its first accident. Well, not exactly traffic accident. On Monday evening, Abi and I just arrived at the executive suite where we were staying during his training. At the parking lot, my husband was a bit distrustful about the car next to us would bang into ours if the driver opened the door.So he tried very hard to adjust it further away from that car. He squeezed it really

It was that time of year again. Abi was invited to his school batch’s breaking the fast event. This year it took place at one of the golf clubs in Shah Alam. I, on the other hand had made plan to dine with his brother-in-law and boy cousins on the same weekend.Because my husband would need a ride to his reunion dinner venue, I had to think of a nearby location to eat. I asked around in the office

On Saturday evening, Abi and I fetched his brother and cousin and all of us drove down to KL hoping we could still get a table at our favorite chicken rice shop in Bukit Bintang area. Sadly though, it was fully booked so we hung out at a mamak’s place first. The plan was to eat lightly before having an actual dinner later.While waiting for breaking the fast, I did some people watching and boy was

Yesterday was the first day I fasted alone. This year that is. What is wrong with that, you say.I came in late to the office so when I go back, it would be a matter of minutes before breaking fast. Well, what do you know? Everybody left the office so darn early. They kept saying goodbye and wished me excitedly “Selamat berbuka!” on their way out. Some asked if I planned to eat at the office. Some

Last Friday evening, I waited at the office for my brother-in-law as we were driving down to Singapore to see his brother, my husband, who else? Their mother was also coming with us so we got to fetch her in Seremban, on our way there. The three of us had a good time traveling as the journey was smooth sailing.We picked Abi up at his apartment and head out to Changi Village. We arrived at this

Last Sunday evening, Abi and I went to his brother’s apartment. Yeah we hang out there like, a lot! His house is kind of a one-stop centre. We would drop by to book bus seats, flight tickets or merely update blog. It is also a pick up point for futsal practice, going back to Seremban or anycousinly outing.As for me, I would play with his semi acoustic guitar and annoy everybody with my so-called

On my birthday, I went out for dinner with my buddies who fetched me up at the apartment. In one car, there was my male chauvinist friend who got engaged recently. Yes, he is back! Tagging along was a girl friend and myself. We were to meet another friend at Mid Valley Megamall that night.Since it was my birthday, I got to choose where we were eating out. I decided to dine at the Little Penang

I must admit, I was a bit nervous waking up this morning. It was the day, finally. The day I turned the big three zero. My dad was the first to call and asked my age. Real funny, dad.Man, I am already half his age! And in the next years, I will be more than that. Life has its mathematical way of teasing us, has it not?Both my dad and step mom wished me happy birthday right before I went out for

Abi is arriving in KL about at 10 tonight. I know Aeroline serves dinner on board so I will have to eat on my own. Therefore, I told him that I am making dinner plan with the girls from the office.We are going to one of my favorite eating places, the Palma Café. A colleague has been craving for a chili pasta. She would go on and on and on about how delicious the dish is for so long now. I never

Last Thursday, I went out with a friend who was getting engaged over the weekend. He and a girl friend fetched me at my apartment after seven in the evening. We took him out for his last meal as a single male.The three of us headed to Chili’s Grill and Bar at Mid Valley where we dined as if there is not going to be another outing like this. Well, we girls were not taking chances on this one.

My cheapskate skill has gone up another level. I had proved to myself that I could get the cheapest price in getting to the airport. However, you can only attempt this act if you have extra 2.5 hours in hand before your flight check-in time. Because I did. Actually, I already took the whole afternoon off from work which was why I could try doing this.It all happened last Friday. I boarded the KTM

I have been having this mild (read: in denial) issue with my eyesight. I cannot see clearly from a certain distance. There is a term for it, I guess. Forgive me for I am new at this. I hope it is not myopic. However, one could only hope, I suppose. Ah the beauty of growing old. Yes, I am getting there. The symptoms are showing little by little. May I announce to the people out there that I am

I booked the first available flight from KL and flew into Changi Airport last Saturday. Abi fetched me in a cab and we were off to Orchard Road to see a friend. He was staying at the Singapore Marriott Hotel and was waiting for us for breakfast. Buffet breakfast at the Marriott tasted good partly because I was very hungry. My day started at five in the morning and I did not grab a bite since.

Abi will forever tease me whenever we discuss this particular subject. He says I was too slow in picking up signals from him. I swear, I had no clue whatsoever when exactly my then associate, now my husband, had a crush on me. I did not even notice if he was hitting on me!My husband first fell for me during my Hari Raya open house. I remember that my close friends happened to be just boys at that

Did you already know that I like to sing? I mean like really, really, really like singing? Alright I love singing for God’s sake! Instead of just listening to a good song, I would sing along because it picks me up. It is also my way of expressing emotions which I fail to show with gestures or words for that matter.Some people go to great lengths to carry out their passion. Well, I am a scaredy

What are you afraid of the most in life?I cannot afford to be afraid of ageing. Some people are intimidated about revealing their age. Newsflash: I am not. It is something I have no control over. However, I am annoyed by people who ask mine as if it is the final necessary detail they need right before judging me.So what if I look younger than I supposed to? And what if my crazy act does not

I am into the color black right now. There is a number of black colored items that I have been paying attention to these past few weeks.The first article is called a net book. It is a replica of the normal size computer notebook. Some people call it mini notebook. Hey I do not blame them for being (that includes you, Abi) outdated! Actually, I would not know myself if it was not because of the

First of all, I was outside the country in the last three weeks of April. Second of all, I did not get a chance to post an entry since then. Third of all, the reason for such a long pause is that I was on the all expenses paid trip by my husband to Egypt!Abi, his parents, brother, auntie and I departed at 11.45pm from KLIA on the 15th. We flew to Cairo in an EgyptAir’s Boeing aircraft. It took us

It was Wednesday and guess what? I had both our passports in my hand! At last, Abi and I could cross the Malaysia-Singapore border as we like. So I had my university friend (again, I know) sent me to the airport that same morning because I was going to meet my husband in Singapore! I called the office to inform about an emergency leave I had to take and I was good to go.As witnessed by some, the

Last weekend marked the third weekend that I had not seen Abi. It was a really trying experience for me. I was curious of why God's tests were unbearable to me this time. I broke down to tears so easily that I felt it was difficult to breathe. I missed my husband so much until my brain began to corrupt my own idea of togetherness in a marriage. Of whether there is a need for me to keep living

I know I had been quiet for a while now. Life was no fun for me because Abi was not around. My husband had to stay in Singapore and I need to wait in KL. The reason was that we must surrender both our passports to an embassy due to some visa matters.So that was why I did not write as nothing really happened last weekend. Except that on Saturday, I sent my husband’s car for a maintenance service

There was a department outing that I was suppose to join last weekend to Cherating. However, I could not follow my colleagues because of a family matter. Abi’s family had arranged to visit our Singapore home, finally. It was kind of a last minute plan.Although my husband allowed me to go on with my office trip and bring a friend as his replacement, he sounded hesitant over the phone. I sensed a

It was public holiday last Monday when Abi and I arrived at KLIA in the evening. We flew in from Singapore to KL because I would start work and my husband training the next day. So from the airport, we decided to travel home on the ERL.Abi took out his newspaper right away and read it throughout the journey. Due to what it seemed to be the longest train ride to me, I chose to self capture several

Last weekend, Abi suggested that we pay a visit to Batam. It was just going to be a daytrip so I did not see why we should not do it.My husband and I boarded the 1.20pm ferry from Harbourfront Ferry Terminal. By the way, Batam is an hour later than Singapore because of the different time zone. Riding one of the Penguin ferries, we reached Batam Centre exactly in one hour. And the adventure

Last weekend was the beginning of a long holiday in Malaysia and Singapore. It was due to a public holiday on Monday and Tuesday in both countries. So in the last five days, there was a lot of celebrating, feasting and giving in my own so-called life.On Saturday, my husband and I attended his schoolmate’s wedding in Puchong. Wearing matching light blue outfits, we arrived there early not wanting

Allow me to introduce my two favorite drinks.One of my favorite drinks is called green tea soda float. It is actually iced soda water with a scoop of green tea ice-cream floating in a tall clear glass. The look is minimal but it is one heck of a thirst quencher!In addition, I do not have to order anymore dessert because the green tea ice-cream is already sufficient to satisfy my sweet tooth.This

We made our way to the supermarket to buy grocery last Saturday morning as Abi had promised me that he would cook lunch that day. We bought some basic ingredients from the supermarket near our house and went home just to lie around watching TV at home waiting for lunch time.After waking up from our afternoon nap at about 4 o’clock, my husband put on my flurry pink house slippers and entered our

It was public holiday in Singapore. I cooked lunch for the two of us: gulai lemak tenggiri fish, fried chye sim with fishball, cucumber salad with sambal cinchalok. I must say lunch was heavenly, especially when I was the chef and Abi was the only patron!In the evening, my husband and I went out for early dinner at the Swensen’s in Orchard Road. Then we took a long walk and some pictures. The

Just last Friday I drove down to Singapore in my husband’s car. Actually last weekend, I was supposed to stay here in KL while Abi over there because I am already flying over to the Lion City this evening. Apparently, it was our first weekend apart.However, afraid I would miss him that weekend; I sneaked in my passport in my handbag and turned off all electrical switches in the house before

It is another working Saturday. It sucks, I know. What is more, there is nothing in this whole wide world can beat the pleasure of waking up late on a Saturday. I really miss that now!However, did I tell already? I had the best Hari Raya week ever! It was tiresome but it was all worth it. The delicious food, the nice relatives and the understanding family members, they were the reasons I enjoyed

So I began my journey at five in the evening after office hours. Wait, what kind of loser still went to the office on a Saturday until five o’clock preceding a long festive break? Well, that would be me! I guess this is the price to be paid if my colleagues and I wanted the whole week holiday for Hari Raya. Anyway, we are still losers for having worked on that day.My husband suggested I fetch him

My work life is as hectic as it has never been. I am as busy as a bee. There were many times I had tried to write a little something, anything at all for the sake of posting an entry but I failed miserably every time. Today I gather all the strength and time I have left to update my so-called life.It is nearly the end of the third week of fasting month. I am still fasting up to this date although

Sawatdee kaa!Last Saturday, my husband, his brother, four cousins and I met up at the KLIA LCC Terminal to board the 3.15pm Airasia flight. Destination: Krabi, Thailand! It was the first time that the seven of us went for a holiday together. We chose to go that weekend as it was our last chance to travel before the coming fasting month.None of us had ever been to a place said to be the filming

There is another birthday person in the house!How does it feel to be an expatriate employee, blessed with healthy-although-trying-to-ruin-it body and married to your first love at this age, my husband? You should feel grateful because you have achieved so much up to this day. As your hangout buddy, partner in crime and Mrs. Abi, I am actually proud of you.Never mind all the workload, exhaustion

Happy birthday to me! Oops, did I say that out loud? Did I just announce to the world that I am another year older? Anyway, I hope that I have become a lot wiser than I was in the last few years. However, I am not the type of person who plans out her whole life, which is why I have a husband to do that. I am a human who appreciates the essence of living by my own definition:I never chase or wait

It was a nice Sunday morning to wake up to. My husband and I had been craving for nasi lemak so we jump off our bed to find one for breakfast. The nasi lemak tasted especially delicious that morning because Abi did not pick on my sambal prawn. Yes, I am pretty disturbed if he steals my special prawn.Our CARS membership card had been ready since last month but we were just too busy to go pick it

When I purposely place myself down rather than up, mind you it is not a passport for you to underestimate or even step on my head. Why on earth do you still have to go lower than me? I thought I am the lamest of a person but you cannot help but placing yourself in such a disgusting position! It looks like you are the one with a problem. For me to spend my energy and time to think about you is

I must confess that it was an impulse buy. It all happened so suddenly on last two weekends. At first I just intended to go check out Far East Plaza in Orchard Road without planning to get anything. However, I came across this shoe shop called Mondo and the designs are provoking and the colors are refreshing. I tried playing safe by looking for a classic shoe pattern but ended up with orange

It is another day of nothingness ahead. I have very little tasks to do yet I must spend nine hours in the office today. In order to let the hours pass unnoticeably, I started my day by coming in early with the intention to leave the office earlier than yesterday at least.This morning I paid a visit to the vending machine and grabbed my cup of hot chocolate. It may sound weird to some but I have

I had one last week and had it again last night. It did not disappoint me both times. Actually I discovered a burger stall that sells this good stuff when I faced some serious eater’s block (as in writer’s block) last time. The stall is also well-located, just along my way home back from the office.Of course I prefer to order it “special.” If typical fast food restaurants would layer beef patty,

This is a photo of my marriage proposal ring and 1st month anniversary band. At the moment I wear them together on the ring finger of my right hand (now, where the heck did I keep my wedding band?) which reminds me that tomorrow is our 3rd month anniversary. Happy 3 Month, Abi! I wish to tell you something that you already knew:You are so fine a person. A heart I instantly reckon. From you I have

I revisited our wedding photographer’s webpage to reminisce about the most blissful days of my life. Anyway, feel free to check out our wedding pictures at my Favorite Links. My husband looked so darn good despite the fact that he suffered from chicken pox three months prior to our wedding. The culprit for his illness? Me, guilty as charged!Actually, I caught the virus on New Years Eve of 2008.

Remember the Sentosa Island visit? We had to forget it due to time-consuming shopping.Remember my husband’s best man duty? I ironed his pants and sampin but left them at home.What do all of the above have in common? They are the plans that I announce to the world before but fail to accomplish. I admit that half of them were my own fault but I blame it on the too much excitement I got from the

Funny thing happened at the office today. Two female colleagues from different other departments asked if I am pregnant. Their reason: I look chubby (a nicer way of saying that I am fat!). Yes, I think I put on weight (the nicest way of revealing the fact that I am fat!) and I blame it on the food I consumed last weekend in Singapore.When I was there for two nights, I recalled having eaten fish

Alright I admit it: work is very boring nowadays. This is because my job is of project basis that for this round I had already completed it some months ago. Since then I have been coming into the office not knowing what to do. Please God, do not let my boss read this.Which is why I am in Singapore now! I could use some retail therapy for having worked so hard this year. I heard (thank you for the

So my husband had been coming back to KL for five weekends in a row now. Last two weekends he was here to attend a friend’s wedding in Shah Alam. Actually Abi could never turn down many invitations from our families and friends simply because he is a courteous gentleman. Besides, other people do expect us to show up at their special events and we kind of enjoy turning up especially when there is

Recently I learnt something new from a meeting at work. At least it is to me and proves that my brain still runs well though it shuts down most of the time. So, have you ever experienced that when you buy a technical product only to feel that it is not user-friendly? I have encountered such products so many times and it sucks.My husband would say the reason I was feeling like that is because I

There I was standing in front of our newly bought washer. Actually I was trying to decide whether or not my smelly never-been-washed-throughout-the-year shoes go into the washing machine. I am talking about my work shoes that I worn day-in and day-out for a year now. Because I am entitled for a new pair every year and I had already collected a pair last week, so last night I had the chance to

It is Saturday evening and I am still working in the office! This is what I get for working in a manufacturing company in which the working calendar normally follows the production schedule. Darn!This morning my husband sent me to work. He then went back home to sleep some more as he was still tired from the traveling, I guess. I fetched Abi late last night and we went for supper before I went

I always thought that my two girl cousins are the smartest wives I have known. This is because they moved to a happening Damansara commercial area once they got married. I am talking about Ikano Power Centre, IKEA, Tesco and The Curve being just five minutes drive from their homes. Don’t you get it? Ladies and shopping, hello!However, guess who recently turned out to be smarter? That is right! In

Last two nights, I went to KLCC. There is a café that serves Penang food and I ordered rojak and red ruby for dinner. For those who are not familiar with these; rojak is a fruit and vegetable salad dish commonly found in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia (according to Wikipedia) mixed together with shrimp paste sauce and nuts while red ruby is a dessert of shaved ice, coconut milk, chestnut and

Happy 1st Month Anniversary! Thought I would begin this blog with a cheery start as today marks a month living as a married couple for my husband and me. Yes, we tied the knot exactly on this date just last April. My husband, who I fondly call Abi is the love of my life. I have known him since our university years. He was there for me and me, him to get through a lot of things.I particularly
