Huff & puff, oh! Hello, 2012!

So it's the time of the year again, where I'll wrap the highlights of the year so here goes!


In 2011, I have…


1. Moved into our new house.


2. Graduated and attended my convocation! :)


3. Continued working in Nuffnang as a permanent staff and today marks my 13 month of being an employee! Look, ma! I can earn money! :D


3. Got to know my colleagues a whole lot better which became my closest bunch of friends.





4. Lost Louie and was found again after 14 days. Couldn't be anymore happier than that!




5. Was extremely homesick but my parents made it better by popping by KL once in every 2 months. Hehe!


6. Survived another year of being with Andrew. Hehe! Love you, honey!



So that's about it. I love what 2011 had in store for me and never once I'll regret the decisions I made, be it right or wrong. And just by taking a peek in 2012, I just can't wait to hop on board and make the best out of this roller coaster ride! Woohoo~


Happy new year! :) :)

Of my safe haven

I have been putting my hobby of reading aside for the longest time until Elaine plopped a book on my legs when I was painting my nails last night.

She knew that I have always been a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks so I read a few chapters after I painted my nails. I am now hooked.


Why did I ever stopped reading anyway? This is such a good read that I find it difficult to put the book down!

Of weekends and rollin' around.

Ever since I've started working, I'll always look forward to the weekends. These 2 days are always crucial for me. Shall I cook? Or bake?

Do I have any pending errands to run? Where shall I travel for food this week? Do I still have enough toiletries?

Now that I have a house I call my own, I'll always make sure it's clean and in order.

This week, I am gonna slackkkkkk and be prepared to have a panic attack on the weekdays. I need a part-time maid! (Andrew, are you reading this? *puppy eyes*)

So yeah. It's our 37th monthsary and I'm pulling my hair thinking of a nice restaurant to dine tonight!

You can't blame gravity for falling in love

It has been three years since Andrew and I were an item. Looking back, it seemed so difficult for both of us. We were young and we didn't know what we wanted in life. But one thing for sure, we both knew that we are here to stay in each other's life.

For our 3 years anniversary, we decided to make it simple and we both think it's best to not exchange gifts cause we're still saving up money to buy more furnitures for the house. So we had a simple dinner at Thai Thai. It's my third time dining there and I really like the ambience, and not forgetting their awesome tom yam soup! :)

Since we're not getting anything for each other this year, you know I wouldn't let him go that easy! I decided to tweak the anniversary tradition a bit. I found this couple survey online & I really wanted both of us to do it so we can go crazy laughing when we read back the next time. I'll be sharing this at the end of the blogpost!

Just a little shoutout to my confidante & my best friend:
You are really something, Mister. Never a time I was actually bored of you and you have always made it a duty for you to make me laugh even when I am feeling blue. I have never once regretted my decision to be with you and it amazes me that up till today, it still excites me just to know that I get to sleep in with you on a weekend, have a meal with you or just bumming around at home. Happy anniversary, my lover. To our many tomorrows and forever more.

An Explanation

Hi all,

I am blogging this on behalf of Andrew and I so I can explain to everybody once and for all.

Louie is my next most important thing in my life besides Andrew. He has really mould us into better people and as cliche as it sounds, Louie has also in a way, prepared Andrew and I to forsee all the responsiblities as parents in the future.

He is not just any ordinary dog. He's Louie, a dog with the most expressive facial expressions and lives practically like a human. He sleeps with us, he eats with us, you name it, he has done it. Louie meant the world to Andrew and I.

Losing him still seem kinda surreal to us and waking up everyday is a battle to me. It has been the 3rd day since he went missing and right now, I don't know what we should feel.

To those who understands how we feel, our tomorrows are going to be tough, but we believe we can overcome this. Never I have felt so heartbroken and the thought that I can't cuddle him to sleep & play fetch with him really saddens me to the core. However, time will heal our broken soul.

Losing Louie is a wake up call for both of us. It has made Andrew and I treasure each other more but there are times where we might beat ourselves with "if only" and "what if"...

Thanks for going viral on Facebook and Twitter, guys. And I guess I owe you guys a story...

Louie ran away from home at Andrew's house in Sri Damansara at around 9am last Sunday. We have been looking all over for him since. Louie's notice has gone viral on both FB and Twitter and from our end, we have distributed 500 flyers all around the neighbourhood.

We do have a few calls but the last call today kinda gave me a peace of mind. The last call informed us that Louie was being picked up by a golden Toyota Avanza at 10am and upon seeing our flyer, he called us immediately.

In my opinion, it wouldn't bum me out so much if I know he was picked up by someone but for the past 2 days, I kept worrying that he's out there, alone & scared.

I guess it's our cue to learn to move on. Again, our tomorrows are going to be a battle, and it's going to be our biggest obstable in life to date.

Thanks again for going viral. I wouldn't be better without the love and support from you guys.. Fate will bring Louie back to me and if it doesn't, Louie will have a better life because he's my tough puppy.

Thank you all. :)

Another wrinkle-free year.

Dear mom,

On your 48th birthday, I would like to have a more creative approach to greet you, through a blogpost.

How do I begin to wish you on your birthday?


Mom, throughout all these years, you have always be my shelter for the rain and never once, you let me fall with a scraped knee. You are my superwoman, and you will always be.


You have mold me to what I have become today. Studying abroad in KL really made our mother-daughter bond stronger and every single day, I still wish that I was 17 years old and in Brunei.



You are the backbone to the family and you will always be. For all the times where I've let you down, I apologize and mistakes did taught me how to be stronger to the society.



You've taught me well, mom. And I would want everybody to know what am awesome mother you are. Happy birthday, mom. Can't wait to see you in May!

Love you always,
Your Princess.
