♥~Chinese New Year 2015~♥


Happy Chinese New Year!!! I'm so lazy, what happened to recording every worthy memory in my precious blog? I've missed out so many...

1st day of Chinese New Year, forgot what date :(

Ok...Our Chai family tradition : have dancing lion come over to kick start the first day of cny... :)

In Malim Nawar, we're always the first household to have the dancing lion performance for every year, such an honor... :)

Its always the first thing to look forward for Chor 1,haha... 2nd thing to look forward to : secondary school friends gathering...

Even though we haven't seen each other much after graduation, the friendship never fades...We've been doing this "bai nian" thingy for years... No matter how far we stay for study or work, everyone knows Chor 1 is the day for our reunion & the attendance is compulsory...

We talk and laugh loudly like nobody business... The boys will always be like :"Woi..mind to care your image a little bit? " Haha, we know from deep heart that we would never ever have to pretend in front of each other... Be as crazy as you can, be as neurotic as you may, its sort of an indication of how deep our friendship is,haha...

I've missed them so much... Miss AhLooy laughter, miss Jason's stupidity, miss AhBet's talkativeness, etc...


Am proud of our friendship... Hopefully one day, perhaps 10 years later, we'll all bring along our spouse or even kids to join this annual reunion gathering... :)

Oh my god, we've reached the age where marriage seems to be an appropriate topic for conversation, or maybe not...This second you chill and relax like : Oh, i'm just 22, still young.. The next second you'll shriek like : Oh my god!!! 22 already???!!!

Ok, back to the topic... As usual, i eat and drink continuously from house to house,haha... Many of them have been complaining about me being more skinny than before... I did realize too because most of my pants don't fit anymore & i'm having a hard time finding pants that stay up...

I eat as much as usual, which the portion is abnormally large for girl, haven't been exercising, have absolutely no idea what cause the weight loss...

& now i think i figured out the reason... My psychological quality hasn't been so well lately... Constant emo can do this to people right... People lose weight when they're too stress, same theory applies here...

Ok, get sidetracked again, where was i, hmm....Yes, Chor 1...There's one thing i have to mention here... I saved a puppy... :D

I think it's frightened of the drum sound because there's dancing lion performance in the neighborhood... It tended to climb out of the gate & it did, the thing was that the leash was holding it back, so its front legs couldn't touch the ground & its body was half hanging...

I got panicked then got down the car, went straight to help the puppy...With the help from Winqi & a kind uncle next door, the puppy was rescued and put back into its house safely,haha...

We had a girls night at my place which was only meant for the five of us : Winqi, Sherryn, Liching, Lucy and me...

Its getting harder and harder to have the five of us being together, sharing stories and confiding secrets... Cherish every chance we have and every second we get out of it...




























Its also Sherryn's advance birthday celebration.. We didn't have time to prepare birthday present so it'll have to wait until the next time we meet up,haha... Sherryn please be patient ok... :)

You're always that sweet and kind girl i love... Please don't keep all the feelings and thoughts to yourself, you know we'll always be there even when you don't need us,haha... :)






























I always consider myself as an unlucky person...When i have to choose one thing out of two, the less favorable one never failed to find its way to me and when it did, i'd tell myself :" See...i knew it even before i made my decision..."

Having them in my life is one of the most lucky thing that has ever happened to me... When we're all lying on my bed chatting & laughing together, that contentment is purely indescribable...


Chor 2, don't know what date...

Family day...Visited maternal grandma's house and learnt how to play lami (don't know if i spell correctly),haha... Spent whole cny playing it...

After lunch, around 3-4pm, there would be a bunch of relatives coming over as routine... They always come visit at the same time i wonder if they have discussed before,haha... Its usually the relatives whom you see once in a year & all you could do would be standing there, smiling awkwardly to them while thinking what should you call them, especially the elders,haha...

Cny eve used to be the day that i most anticipated because of Thengjiejie's return, someone whom i see her as my biological sister instead of cousin... My anticipation has shifted from cny eve to Chor 2 since she's married... Am glad that she found a nice husband & gave birth to my lovely nephew one year and a half ago...


Little Nicholas looks alot like jiefu...For your information, that's not Thengjiejie and her husband alright,haha.. They are my mom and brother... :p



Look at him, all so comfy and steady sitting on great grandpa's huge tummy... :$



My favorite cousin, Evelyn...She's very clingy to me & i enjoy her acquaintance as well... I think its because we have a lot in common... First, we're both princess freak,haha.. We discuss about Disney princess every time we meet... Her favorite princess is Aurora while mine is Rapunzel even though Disney quiz says that i'm more like Belle,haha... :$

Always "I'm Belle" to people around me & all i get is an eye-roll as response,haha..

Ok..i think that's pretty much for my CNY this year... Nothing special, nothing exciting...

Celebrated grandpa's 85th birthday few weeks before...






He raised me to become the person i am right now...People says that i'm too innocent to know the cruelty of this world but i think its the countless amount of love i get from home that makes me clueless about how ugly reality can be... People says i'm such an indoor girl, such a hermit girl who doesn't like to go out yet i think its because of how secure & comfy i feel at home that makes me prefer home than anywhere else... And i think, i know its all because of his presence at home...

He used to tell me bedtime story when mommy had gone to work in USA... Back then, i complaint about him not knowing how to tell a good story... Now, i still remember how a bad story teller he used to be or probably still is, the difference is that i feel something more which i failed to notice back then and that something called love... That effort to put me to sleep, to give me every thing he could offer...

All i wish for him is to stay healthy and happy... I want you to be at my wedding in future & i'll have you on stage, introduce you as the most extraordinary person to everyone...I want my future child to have her/his great grandfather holding her/his, so my child will know that's how 幸福 her/his mom used to feel...Ok,gotta stop before i start crying... :$

Ok...As for my recent life, same old same old... Busy with uni work & constantly emo for some reasons,haha...will i ever stop? :S

Have an epiphany here... I just lost a friend whose life was taken away in a car accident... Few days after, my another best friend gave birth to her very first child naturally... The baby was delivered safely and healthy, such a good news... Truly feel happy for her, CONGRATULATION X10000!!!! Now she has started her own family, just upgraded her status as a mom, its a gift which not everyone is given a chance like this... Life is precious, life is unpredictable, every breathing moment is a blessing, make it count... :)

Here comes the end of this entry... Valentine post will be the next... :)

♥~First post in 2015~♥


P/S: This post has been in my draft for few weeks already... No idea why i never uploaded... -_-

Hello...Its 2015 already !!! Whole December is skipped, figure its time to bring my blog back to life...

Hmmm...Let me think... I don't even really remember anything worth mentioning in December, short-termed memory... :'(

Ok...Basically, i spent my whole semester break at home hiding in my room curling up in bed rereading Twilight series...Guess what, i'm falling for Edward all over again, its like i know him even more thoroughly...

And erm...Fluffy & i have gotten into the biggest fight in our relationship back then... We rarely quarrel and it is always over the same reason when it happens...It took us 3 days to get things over with but both of our hearts were wounded and its gonna leave a scar... Can still feel the pain vividly whenever that painful memory hits... What's a relationship without a couple of fights, right? As long as we end up back in each other's arm...

Also, we had a one day family trip to Penang... Its a simple trip, we simply visited the 3D Museum and a Papa Nyonya Museum, had some local hawker-style dishes and seafood before we headed back home...

 Was in serious period cramp throughout the trip it ruined my mood of the day, what an unfortunate timing...

What was worse was that we ended up having food poisoning a day later...

Still remembered how the gastric struck and i couldn't fall asleep that night, rolled in bed trying to wait for the gastric to pass but it never did... When i sat up and that nausea came, the realization finally hit me that the gastric wasn't from the lack of food in my system, it was gastric vomit... Threw up 5 times in total and the vomit was all water...

Gonggong, my grandpa was the only person who didn't get it, how lucky... At the same time, i was grateful that he didn't have to go through it as it's torturing enough for us...

It was 31th of December, the last day of 2014... Was forced to cancel the BBQ pre-birthday celebration for Bb... When everyone was having fun countdown with the loves they love, we simply countdown lying on bed and sleeping... And i got mad at Fluffy for some reasons those several days,haha...To add insult to injury, i was supposed to go KL spend the first few days of 2015 with Fluffy, to go to a Port Dickson trip with his family...Thanks to the food poisoning, all plans had to be cancelled... Imagine how my mood literally hit the bottom...

Period had to come at the exact day when i eventually had a chance to go enjoy my holiday outside of my house and this stupid food poisoning had to strike exactly the day before i was going to meet Fluffy...

Besides from the whole puking thingy, i lost my appetite too... My weight dropped to 36kg and everyone has been complaining about me being too skinny everytime they saw me...They were like :" Oh my god what happened to you? You're slimmer... Eat more please..."

Trust me, i'm no happier either... I can't pull off sleeveless shirt as i'll look like malnutrition as if i have anorexia, i can't pull off skinny tight jeans either as i have no butt at all... And i hurt Fluffy when i sit on his lap because i have no butt, its all bones!!!

I'm now fully recovered and so does my appetite,haha... I'll try to gain back some weight and be a healthy girl... :)

Back to the topic, since the original plan didn't work, Fluffy and i would have to wait until the day he came back for his internship presentation to be reunited,haha... :$

Followed him back to KL and borrowed a TR35 from Thengjiejie to capture every moments of us together...

TR35 is the hottest thing among asian girls as it is designed for only one thing: Selfie!!! haha...

Heard about how people get crazy over this ultimate selfie camera and now i finally got the chance to experience its magic to turn an ugly ducking into a beautiful fair swan,haha... :$

When i first tried it in bed, i was like :" Oh my god!!! My skin got so fair!!! This is exactly how i would look like if i have fair complexion..."

"I don't understand why girls would willing to spend 3k for something that isn't even real..." He got his point as well... :$


Tada... Ignore my eye bags, its midnight time... :$

The next day which was 8th of January 2015, we had breakfast at my favorite spot: Levain, then headed to Midvalley... Shopped a little and tried the newly open Magnum cafe which everyone is talking about...

The special thing about this Magnum cafe is that you can customize your own ice cream, from coating, topping to drizzling...

 I chose vanilla flavor for my ice cream and coated it with dark chocolate while Fluffy, the chocolate addict, had chocolate flavor and coated with dark chocolate... All that i thought was : The double chocolate is gonna get too sickly sweet you see... :$


Taken with TR35, it added beauty effect on the ice-cream... :$


Couldn't stop snapping pictures... With all the lighting and smooth skin effect, its just irresistible... :$


Like our smiles here, we both looked contented... :$

Dinner at his dad's restaurant and got another skinny comment from his dad... Had a late night movie, Taken 3 with Fluffy and Ethan before we called the day off... Fell asleep during the climax of the film, when i woke up, Bryan has already taken down all the securities and guards and got to the bad guy...Nice film, i like Liam, he always has this charm in him he looks so dashing despite his age...  :$

9th January 2015

Has been asking Fluffy to bring me to Malacca again even though we just went there like few months before...The food there was too delicious it dwells in my mind...

Get my wish fulfilled on this day, Malacca food trip here we go!!!


























Feel the excitement!!!  When we were almost there, Adrian, Fluffy's cousin was suggesting coconut milk shake and i was like :"Yeah!!! Coconut milk shake!!!!!!" Got so hyped as i've been dying to try this famous drink...The atmosphere in the car was lightened up all of a sudden and Fluffy was busy asking me to calm down and tried to stop me from jumping up and down in the car... :$


Had this duck noddles before we proceed to my longing milk shake...


The well-known Klebang coconut milk shake...




I'm not a huge fan of coconut but this tastes really good!!! It comes in normal and special which the special one comes with an ice cream on top... Besides, i bumped into my secondary schoolmate there, what are the chances, right? I got so excited and kept bubbling :" Wow...such a coincidence!!!"  but she seemed calm enough... :$

Next stop.. The strait mosque...

This looks rather different from the typical mosque...Look at the stained glass crafted on the arch of each entrance, the design of the building is the combination of eastern and malay... When the water tide is just at the right height it will looks like its floating on the ocean... It looks more beautiful during night time when the lights are on... Unfortunately we didn't have the time to wait until then...


Fluffy the photo spoiler.... :/

Enough with the sight seeing, visited Nadeja to have a few pieces of mille crepes...


My personal favorite is chocolate banana... The layers and the soft texture plus the moment it melts in your mouth, indescribably delicious.... :$

Last stop of the day, Jonker street...

We went to Jonker 88 for their laksa which i gave it the title of "the best laksa in my life", haha...The last time i visited, their laksa blew me away... :$

Too bad we didn't have the time for satay celup, it'll have to wait for the next time... :(

Stopped by Kuala Pilah to visit their cousins on the way back home...It was Fluffy's hometown where he goes back on every Chinese New Year... I was glad to have the opportunity to visit the place...

We had chao kiu teow as supper which they claimed to be the yummiest chao kiu teow... Fluffy's mom called and demanded us to stay a night there as it was getting a little too late to drive back to KL... Their cousins are all very friendly and easy to get along with plus super hospitable...They found some clothes which suit all the 4 of us separately, toothbrushes, towel, cleanser etc.. to make sure we get comfortable enough for the night...

They even gave me some of their new clothes which they don't fit anymore, not gave, its more like stuff, haha...I was like:" nevermind, i just need a t-shirt to change.." "No..take it take it..There you go..." 

After getting us well equipped, the 4 of us were being hosted at their ancestral home... 

"Now you don't have to imagine how does my hometown look like and remember i always tell you i go out for supper with my cousins before? Now you've even been there..."

I don't know, it feels incredible... That was a part of Fluffy's life that i never get to see or been to, now that i did, its so unbelievable...

Ok...that's pretty much it...We've come to the end of my story for the holiday... :)

New semester has started, its Fluffy's last semester before he graduates... After 3 months of separation, now i get to be with him almost everyday only to encounter a longer separation when this sem ends... More challenges and obstacles waiting ahead...

End this with a vain selfie of mine... :$



p/s: There's something that i still don't quite know how to face and handle... The feelings that i've never experienced before, the things that's so new to me... I don't know what to think of it or how to see it in a positive way... I'm not good at hiding my emotions, they are always expressed and written on my face even when i try very hard to get them being invisible to others... My instinct, my immediate feeling tells me i'm upset about it from the very core of my heart; my rationality tells me to be generous and be cool about it which i tried with zero success...So now...Where does it lead me and what am i gonna do...
