The Sick Birthday Girl - But Still Young and Fabulous!

22 Nov 2010 9.02 PM

This morning, I was not aware that this was my last day as a 25 year old 'young' lady. My last day as a mid-twenties girl. In less than 3 hours, I will enter the zone of the late twenties!! What have I achieved these past years? Quite plenty! I feel blessed to have achieved so many things. There were some rough patches but I believe that god tests those who He wishes and rewards those He chooses. Alhamdulillah...

So many wishes in FB, the only time of year people actually see my page (haha!)... thank you all! Got a YM from my mom: "Hi kak.... happy 27th birthday to you.... mak masih ingat waktu mak nak melahirkan kakak... 4 hari mak sakit kluar masuk kluar masuk labour room.... now dah 27 tahun berlalu" - Very touching... but I'm not 27... I'm only 26!! Mak YMed back after I protested at the miscalculation "Age is just a number" No way man!! Hahaha! Got an SMS from my dad: "My grown up girl, engineer by profession, married to an engineer... is still a child in the inside!" A response to my request for a Swatch watch as a birthday present.."Love you Bah and jam Swatch pink"  =p

Special suprise from Hasben... cought his fever + soar throat! Oh man...

24 Nov 2010 10.28 AM

In bed, got an MC for fever and soar throat. Forced myself to go to Mesra Mall last night for my birthday dinner with Hasben. Glad I went through with it, although no Harry Potter 7 as planned, ate my fave cake from Secret Recipe... Chocolate Mud Cake - you only turn 26 once in a lifetime, sick or not!

So here I am, at 26, married to a male version of me, graduated twice, the sole civil engineer for 2 plants (it's not really a good thing), bought my first car, bought my first house, and finally full-filling my childhood fantasy of travelling the world - with very little budget, my travelling involves eating packed food and walking on foot to anywhere possible. This fantasy was made possible with Air Asia, the budget airline, and my travelmates, who have the same objective as me - see the world at no cost! Hahha... if only that was possible!

TQ Air Asia - Now Everyone Can Fly... and direct translation from Juli the BFF: Sekarang, Semua Orang Pon Boleh Terbang!

If only Mr Tony Fernandez of Air Asia can read this, he'll probably give me free flights to Korea/Japan/New Zealnd/Paris!!

Hello Second Baby!

Kimi will be 3 soon and guess what, he is also a newly-appointed big brother! This time around, Prince Court is not in the picture - being full-time students, we can only afford to attend Toowoomba Base Hospital, a government hospital so this will be a whole new experience for me, not to mention being in a whole different country! A little park in front of the hospital: I had my monthly checkup at USQ clinic with Dr. Kay Brumpton, who is amazing by the way. And towards my second trimester, I had monthly visits to the hospital to see the midwives. This is the waiting area at the Antenatal Clinic: And that's Kimi climbing over the door of the play gym. Adventurous...! Being Asian, and smallish (even for an asian), my baby was measuring a bit small than the average Aussie. The doctor was a bit concerned and had me do 3 ultrasounds. Back in Malaysia, ultrasounds were performed during every single monthly check-up, but here, they feel that 1 is good enough, unless

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne Weekend Getaway! Date: 13 May 2011 It is not often you hear someone say, "I'm going to Australia just for the weekend". However, it actually happened to me, not intentionally, but accidentally... I booked my flight ticket (in August 2010 for the lowest fare possible!!) without double checking and ended up with only 2 full days to spend in Melbourne. To make the best of it, I pre-booked full day tours for both days... which left out any opportunity for Melbourne city sight-seeing - how sad! From LCCT, KLIA to Melbourne Airport, it took about 8 hours flight - which I can't sleep for most part of it!! - and the time difference is plus 2 hours from Malaysia. Date: 14 May 2011 Upon arrival...   Hi Mr Sean/Chin! We were greated by Ms Candy who showed us to our maxi taxi. The driver was Mr Sean/Chin (didn't quite get his name) who was from Cancun, China. He was friendly and energetic. He dropped us of at Punthill - The Stanton at St Kild
