Me & Wedding!

-
Date: 7 January 2011


How time flies! It has been exactly a year since my big day... the day that changed my life forever. From an irresponsible care-free girl, to an irresponsible care-free wife! Ahaks... Today, I want to walk down memory lane and reminisce about the day Hasben said, "I accept her as my wife and promise to buy anything she wants!"

The nervous future Hasben!

"I agree..." He signed without reading the terms and condition.

7 January 2010, exactly 3 years together and after 1 year of being engaged - we tied the knot! After Maghrib prayers, the Tok Kadi came to my house for the sacred ceremony. I had my maroon "Pari-Pari"s a.k.a my dear girlfriends sitting around me... we were busy chatting and taking pictures during the Kutbah.

Tok Kadi: Pengantin perempuan, tolong dengar ye... (Bride, please listen.)

How embarrassing!

After Hasben finished his prayer, we were supposed to do the ring exchange event. However, Dad and Dad-In-Law were not present... Missing in action! I was like, "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!"

Photographer: I have never attended a wedding where people ignored the bride and groom...
Me: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

When we finally found the Dads, everything went smoothly... we exchanged rings, Hasben gave me my dowry, and we did the k*ss thingy...~ (Too embarrasse to type it properly). Next, we went to KLCC for our outdoor photoshoot.

Wearing my dowry - necklace

Patriotic!!

I'm so glad all went well but am not sure I would like to turn back time and do it all over again... the wedding planning was just too exhausting. Not to mention decorating the hantaran and the brides's room... However, it was worth every minute!

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
