Happy Birthday Sayang~



I know I've said it more than 10 times today but....


Happy Birthday sayang~

Too bad you've got to work today. But lucky for us, we got the weekend off to pre-celebrate your birthday! Ma Maison was a good choice of restaurant...


Beers galore~



Window sightings




Warm and cosy setting...




Snails anyone? (Escargot)




Camembert Fritters (some kind of honey sauce by the side)




Our favourite Soba Salad...MMmm..




Scotch Eggs




Honey Caramel Pudding


It was our second time at Ma Maison, but it was one of the best ever meals. We loved the place, the ambience, the food, everything about the place. Wish the location was nearer to where we stayed though. Hehe...

I hope YOU had a super time during the weekend, cause I really did. Love you sayang~

Congratulations to Newlyweds Mr. & Mrs. Chong~


The happy couple Mr. & Mrs. Chong...


Last weekend, Nic and I went back to KL to attend my friend's wedding. We had the best-est time ever!

I've met Karen from secondary school and TC through some friends from LEO club functions. Even though I've been classmates with Karen, but we've never been close in school. It was only after our good friends left for studies in Australia, that we started spending more time together. As for TC, we always meet up with the same group of friends (with Karen inclusive) for more than 8 years now.

I'm so happy when I first heard they got together. And even happier to hear that they were getting married. I'm glad to have been able to join them when Karen was choosing her bridal gown. I'm glad that I made it for both their wedding ceremony and dinner.

It was the most overwhelming experience.

Knowing the wedding was going to take place was a totally different feeling to when it actually happen. From the moment I see Karen and TC in their gown and suit respectively, to the moment they were exchanging rings, the tea ceremony, and the wedding march in...it was so overwhelming.

All in all, everything was super.

I truly thank you, Karen & TC for inviting us to share the memorable day with you all. We enjoyed ourselves very much during the weekend.

Best wishes once again...and cheers to good life~

AHM: Another Happy Moment~

I was walking to the MRT station one day when I asked Nic if he remembered everything happy about us during these two years. We both have very weak memory, so sometimes, we need a little reminder.

For the last few months, I've been easily agitated and slightly temperamental. I tend to shut myself out from the world, go off track or even lose focus on things. I think at trying times like these, it helps when you think about happy things, happy moments, or how everything first started. It helps you remember how you feel in love, and how much you've grown in the relationship. It really makes you appreciate what you have, just that little more.

The following day after I had that conversation with Nic, he came up with a new term. AHM - A Happy Moment. He thought of something that I did or we did together and included it in our daily messages. So it became AHM - Another Happy Moment. I think it is one of the sweetest things that he did.

We constantly think about things that make us happy and it puts a smile on our faces. It helps cheer me up even when I'm having the lousiest moment. It makes me even happier when I'm already in a happy moment. Sometimes we even try to outdo one another by coming up with the best AHM. *smiles*

I think everyone should make it a habit to think about their own AHMs. It can even be one that you shared with your family or friends...

AHM: When we walked back to your place from Serangoon Gardens. It was far, but the weather was super.

Being Angry

For a moment today, I was thinking about how many people I've actually been angry with my whole life. I'm not talking about those small spams of angry feeling you get when customer service sucks, I'm not talking about the feeling you get when you don't get what you want, I'm talking about angry anger...like those that make you think bad thoughts and feel like doing bad things just to get even kind.

I don't think I've been angry many times or with many people. Its difficult. Yeah sure I've had some moments when the angry period boiled longer and some which had me reacting to it. Those felt real and never ending. It takes time, and a clear mind to sort things out. But I like that it goes away. Eventually.

I feel like I'm at peace today. (No I didn't do yoga)

I've been writing sad-angry-posts recently. Everyone's worried. Thinking that I might actually permanently BE this person. I think I wanna put all that angry-ness past me today. I want to rest well. I want to stay young. I want to be happy again.
