Happy birthday to me!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

Guess what I did buy for myself this year?


Yes! I'm getting "younger", thank you (T_T)

A surprise weekend getaway from Love

Love couldn't get a day off for my birthday this year. He usually took a leave, but sadly this year he could not. So he suggested to have the main celebration yesterday.

He laid out the plans perfectly for me. The plan was like this..

That morning we had some people from RTM interviewing us regarding all this Korean+Malay marriage (And yes, I'm gonna be on TV!). Since we usually overnight at my in law's on the weekend, I had all my clothes packed. So, later in the afternoon, he said we were going to go shopping at Ikea and Ikano for our new house, then had dinner at The Apartment, walked along Flea market, catched a movie or a karaoke, pretty much that was it.

I beleived him.

But as we got to Curve, he said, "Surprise!! I booked a hotel for us!"

So sweet, ryte? Only that, I thought of doing the same thing to him for his coming birthday. Damn, i need to find a fresh idea now! Great minds think alike :)

We stayed at The Royale Bintang, Damansara. The hotel was awesome, I dont want to leave.

Our hotel room.

The welcoming drinks, fruit punch.


We had dinner at The Terrace.


Food was so-so. I ordered Chicken Maryland and Calamansi Asam Boi.

Love ordered Lamb Cutlet which was way too small and Starfruit.

Forget about the food and service, man the ambience was super awesome!



We sat right in front of the live band. They played really soft jazzy music, sort of like "Estrella Sweet Bossa" and they played, "Everything I do, I do it for you" from Bryan Adams dedicated by Love to me.

It was heck of a romantic evening. Alhamdulillah, I must be so lucky to have him as a husband.

During all this excitement, I suddenly realized, man I have no sexy lingerie at all for my husband! He brought me to this fancy dinner and this really nice hotel and I just bought my ordinary pyjama, I mean who bring inappropriate lingerie to their in law's house ryte?

So, I made some lame excuses to browse through Blush and Metrojaya and even Flea Market, but gosh, you know how hard it is to find lingerie with the size of XS. I NEED LA SENZA.

About 10pm, I still couldn't find any lingerie, I started to think creative, browsing through all the Toga top and chiffon halter top when I saw a shop called Petite boutique.

And I found this adorable pink and brown polka dot with a very reasonable price, so I bought it, just before they closed the shop. :)

I had a nice weekend and I really really REALLY don't want to go back. Just before we leave the hotel, Love said something to me that really cheered me up, "Sayang, I can't beleive we're married, now we can go anywhere we want, anytime we want to."

I just smiled. Thank God, for blessing me with this sweetheart.

Solved!

So, it only took 1 month to make my skin normal again.

1 month, with daily breakfast of fruits and veggies. The first week I had papaya every single morning, then cherry tomatoes, honeydew and this week banana. I discovered that the only reason I didn’t have any fruits at home previously was because there were only two fruits inside my refrigerator; apple and orange which both I didn’t fancy at all.

1 month with fish oil supplement makes wonders to my skin and hair. I discovered that no matter how much I ate all the yummy ikan goreng, it doesn’t really help, because the types of fish that I need to eat to moisturize my skin are the one with a lot of Omega-3. Eg: Salmon. I don’t eat salmon at home, i eat ikan kembung and ikan selar ;p

1 month with olive oil is definitely the fastest way to moisturize my skin! I eat, bath and sleep with virgin olive oil! Seriously! I eat olive oil, I put the olive oil all over my skin and hair before bathing and sleep with a thin layer of olive oil on my face. I should discover this earlier! Thanks Uncle Google!

Other small contribution factors are the humidifier, the whole lot of water I drink every day, the scrub and mask that I’ve forgotten exist on my dressing table and etc.

See, the thing is that I have been sooo down these past few weeks. With my stupid haircut, and my not so moisturize skin, I don’t even bother to dress up to work. Owh.. you haven’t heard of the stupid haircut story.

See for the past three years I’ve been going to the same saloon (as u know, I am a very loyal and play safe person). So, one itchy day, I decided to be adventurous with my haircut, and went to a new saloon, I asked for Summer’s haircut and she made me look like this..

Totally different and funny!!! Stups! There goes all my Raya pictures, with the worst haircut. Even Baby Amir didn’t like my new haircut.

The ONLY reason I didn’t go the my usual saloon to rectify the haircut is because Love won’t allow me to do so. He keeps on saying stuff like, “I like your haircut, it looks cute, bla bla..”

Then one day I begged for that new haircut, and when I come back he was like, “Ok.. this looks so much better!” Boleh tak?! Just allow me from the beginning kan makes our life so much easier!! I’m never believing in whatever he says about my hair anymore after this.

Anyways, this is my new haircut and skin, without makeup, yay! Dah moist! Hair pon (Not wearing any hair cream product and didn’t blow or anything)

After this, I’m going to take a very good care of my skin and hair. Promise!

A farewell is necessary before we can meet again

Such a nice Friday to mourn..

But I still mourn anyway, wearing head black to toe, suits my mood not only today, but the weeks before and the weeks that will come after today.

Sigh..

I hate farewell. The impact of this farewell might mean a lot to me compared to anyone else. There goes my teacher, my advisor, my trainer, my friend..

I hope this is not a goodbye. You will forever be missed.

Yuen Buffet Steamboat @ Sunway!

Last Monday was my dad's birthday. We had a dinner at Yuen's buffet and steamboat. My treat. After my youngest brother took his portion of food, I looked at him, slightly annoyed, "Why you took so little?"
Looking all innocent, replied, "I'm full."

I was like, "YOU'RE FULL???? I'm not bringing you to a buffet to have such reply!"
"Owh.. It's a buffet??" He replied. "Ok, i go take some more. Scared you'll end up paying a lot for my food."
Love and I laughed. Sweet.. but OMG so funny! Both of my brothers are still not used of the fact that I'm really working now and afford to give them pocket money every month and buying them dinner every now and then. They would be like, "Aren't you still studying?" (As in doing my PhD)

We've had the time of our life eating all the seafoods, me on the other hand was eating only three items; a whole lot of crabs, lala and the grilled chicken wings!


The best part is that, the price is only RM20.40 per person not inclusive of drinks. But they have a wide selection of seafoods and dumplings, I love this place a lot.

Batu Caves

This previous weekend we've been passing through Batu Caves every now and then. For Dida's open house, then my Aunt's, then to Myra's bro's wedding.

Once Love and I stucked in the jam, and he said, "Where are we? Why are there so many Mat Salleh here?" He asked.

I looked around, "Owh.. Batu Caves." We both nodded. Pause for a while. "You know I've always wanted to go there."


"Ok. Let's go there one day," He answered, smiling.

"You know, there are a lot of places I wanted to go, simple places like I wanna go to the lookout point, I wanna see sunrise in Broga Hill, I wanna go to Orang Asli Museum, I wanna go play laser tag, ATV, all that nonsense stuff, you know?" I laughed.

"You know what Sayang, we should make a list," He suggested.

"No, no, no, no. List isn't going to solve anything! Let's start now, Sayang. We pick one of the list that we want to do. Let's do it once a month. Let's start next month!" Almost shouting with enthusiast.

"Ok! Let's see.. Take out your calender! What is our plan next week..." And the conversation continues.

I just had that realization last Saturday. I have a lot of simple things to do, other than travelling. I saw Nadrah went for skytrekking and hiking, I was too chickened to do all that, but hey.. I still have lots of geeky stuff that I want to do. Which btw, I haven't.

Previously I thought like my interest was so uncool, like going to the Museum? (Blame it on my Dad, seriously!) Who would have want to follow me there.

Knowing Love, previously he would laughed at the thought of even going to the museum really hard. Now that he followed me to all that places, trust me, he had fun :) After all, I did go to all the Korean events and football matches for him.

So anyway, 16th October, we're going to Batu Caves, yay! Just curious what's inside. And note to self, please start doing all these ok, stop visiting the cinema to see what's new every now and then. There's more to life than that big screen and popcorn that makes the kernel stuck in your teeth!

A new season has begun!

I love it when the new season has finally been released! Now, my torrent can start working again. I've been sick of googling what movies to download. They finally here, yay!

First episode of Glee is awesome! Rachel looks hotter than ever. And that new hairdo.. just the way i love it! But of course, she had to go just a little overboard this time. They have two new characters anyway, still I want Jesse!!!!!!

How I met your mother has a great kick start in the first episode. Starts with Marshall and Ted outside a wedding, and I thought it was Ted's wedding, but it was not. I'm sure hope it wasn't Barney's wedding, if it is.. I'm done with How I met your mother, seriously. They starting to kill all the characters, man! Especially Barney! I miss all his theories, the bro code, the legend.. ary, Season 5 sucks a bit ;p

And Chuck.. Haven't watched it yet, but really couldn't wait!!!

YAY! I love waiting for the new episode to come out!!!! I love it when the season has begun!
