EH! 2012 Party

Last night we got an awesome VIP access to EH! 2012 party to celebrate the top 20 young malaysian artists who are "Anggun & disenangi" (fabulous & likable). The party was held at The Pool, Ampang which is just 5 minutes away from home so we had our own sweet time to get ready..

I know i said 'sweet', but truthfully for me it was a nightmare! with these new pair of giant boobs and elephant sized hips, i can no longer fit in my old dresses! Everything (and i mean every damn piece) is just either too small or too tight. It feels like i went through a stranger's wardrobe! So yes i had a few melt-down moments where i collapsed in a corner and cried.. wishing it will all go back to normal..

it is hard ok? nowadays when i look into the mirror, i dont see me. I see someone else. Someone who is not as pretty and as sexy as she was before.. BOOHOO!

Anyways my husband managed to calm me down and lift my spirit back.. with his sweet charming words (lies). So i decided to wear my vibrant yellow dress, paired with my current favourite blue necklace ( since the dress code says "Fresh POP colors"- whatever that is!). the party was awesome but out of a house full with local celebrities, i only knew 2 of them- Zizan the comedian and Mizz Nina the singer. Well, forgive me for not having a slight interest in malay drama or music (except for those that are really good!)

Ps. we were disappointed Aaron Aziz was not listed in top 20. how can that bulky & gorgeous man lose to any of these 18 unknown artists??? how???

Our 2nd appointment- 8 weeks

As I told you earlier, my gynea Dr P is a man. It is awkward at first to lie down and open up your uterus for another guy with your husband standing next to him. But on my second visit, everything feels normal (from unbuttoning your pants, get half naked in a room with 2 men and lying down with your hip wide open welcoming a probe to be insert into you...err).

I am thankful to have him as my doctor. He gives good advise to young mother like me who used to jog or travel often. He is funny and he talks to you like a buddy and the best thing is he remembers me although this is out second appointment. (My husband and I must have left quite an impression with our silly questions during our first visit HAHAHA)

Anyways here is how 8 weeks old look like. Utterly remarkable~

One of his relatives getting married today, so I decided to pair up the 2-layered kaftan top that I got for RM 30 (USD 10) in Bandung with my leopard-print skirts for this occasion. Ta-daa! Appropriate and modern looking baju kurung :). I even had a ring clip on one side of my kaftan to create asymmetrical top- hence makes me look skinnier (or at least i felt so)!

Ps. For Malay wedding, it is a custom for the female guests to wear the traditional Baju kurung or kebaya.

Penang

It is end-of-the-year Couple Getaway! Hooray!

My husband surprised me with a trip up north- to a piece of island called Penang. (well, to tell the truth it was not really a surprise. penang has always been his favourite destination, since it is his dad's hometown).

The best way to go to penang is via north-south highway, yes it will cause you on average 3.5-hour butt cramp but it is simply worth it! the scenery along the highway is simply breath taking from waterfall to luscious green valley and limestone hills. where else can you get all 3 in a row? this. is. truly. malaysia.

Anyways, what to do in Penang?

1. For the locals, Penang is actually popular for its food especially nasi kandar (mainly briyani rice with  a mix of everything else- 2 to 5 kinds of gravy and side dishes!) and we personally love the one served in 'Line Clear'. A little store located somewhere along the alley of Penang Rd. The queue was never ending even at 5pm!

2. The beach- Batu Feringghi. the beach is clean and well kept by the hotel owners. it offers various kind of activities that you can either do in group or alone such as banana boat, jet ski ride, para sailing & horse riding! the best thing is, you can bargain the price and get more discount :) but i heard it is pretty much fixed for tourists..

3. Historical Buildings- if you are into photography then this is a plus point for you! Otherwise dont even bother to look up when you are at the city.

4. Relax. We stayed at Holiday Inn, Batu Feringghi and couldnt ask for a better bedroom for the price we paid! and at night our entertainment is either live band at Hard Rock (5 mins walk from holiday inn) or quiet dinner at straits quay (15 mins drive), where all the rich people park their expensive yet elegant yachts for others to envy!

Minecraft- we just got pixelated

My little cousin, aged 10, is highly addicted and obsessed with this game called Minecraft where the display looks exactly like the 1st generation of Mario brothers game or pacman that we played on PC- like Gazillion years ago! everything in the minecraft world is actually made of cubes or giant legos. go check it out, i bet the first thing you would say is 'there must be something is wrong with my laptop screen display'

Anyways, his addiction has made his father to surprise him with Minecraft exhibition in Paris later this month! And he plans to turn up at the exhibition looking like the character in the game! So we had some fun trying out the "outfit" :P (and no the outfit doesn't come with boxed underwear or tee)

OOTD 141112

I am feeling orange today with my new long side fringe, I feel like the college me again. To stand up from others, always pair your attire with vibrant contrast accessories!

I am wearing RM 15 necklace that I bought in Bandung, Orange blouse from Brand Outlet (2 for rm100), Nose pointy shoes and my treasured Mulberry Bayswater bag.

Break the news #2

These days, i kind of precisely know what i want to eat. like last friday i wanted noodle soup only from old town cafe.

Today, I'm craving for ice cream cheese cake so I thought 'why don't we surprise them (my in-laws) with a cake that says "congratulation!"- I got to eat, and they got a beautiful surprise ;)

So, we went to our favorite icecream cake store- Baskin Robbins 31. Normally we have to pre-order for strawberry cheesecake flavored cake because it is rarely available at the counter. But today is a blessing!!! (Except for the counter lady who has no idea how to spell "congratulation", and I had to correct her spelling twice!) -_-

Anyways as we broke the news after dinner time, my in-laws seem to be more interested on the cake rather than the little one......

.......

 Next time, never ever surprise them with food.
