  • Greetings From Taiwan!

    Halo! How’s everyone doing? I have been away for almost a week now and have to say that I MISS MALAYSIA a lot! It might probably be because Jo is not with me here in Taiwan.
    I think the only countries that won’t make me feel homesick so badly are the USA and Bangkok!

    Anyway I’m still stuck in Tainan for 3 more days! Since I have nothing much to do now so I might as well post a few pictures to keep my blog alive!

  • It Felt Like Spring…

    Ha just came home from the gym and figured I should blog about my Christmas trip to Cameron Highlands before it’s CNY.

    As I have mentioned (in this post) we decided to spend our Christmas in Cameron Highlands with Jo’s friends.

    We called it the couples trip…

    Traveling with couples is quite fun because no one will ever felt left out!

    We started our journey quite early, at around 8 am because my lovely readers warned me that it would be super jammed on the way to Cameron.

    The jam in Cameron was crazy!!! The worst part was that there was only one way for each direction so…

    The first thing we did when we reached our rented house was to put all our presents on the table.

    Michelle was so well prepared, she even printed out our names to be tagged on our presents!

    It was ‘secret santa’ so we had to stick the names on the presents that we bought one by one in a closed room.

    I cant believe that she actually printed our names in 4 sets each!!!

  • Wedding Preparation Update

    Halo guys! A few of you are asking about my pre wedding shoot, gowns, and dates!

    I figured maybe it’s a good idea to update you guys on the progress of my wedding!

    We haven’t really decided on the date for the wedding ’cause we are still waiting for our parents to choose for us.

    The thing that excites me the most is the GOWNS.

    I have decided on the type of gown I will be wearing for my wedding day but am not sure about the pre wedding shoot yet!

    I get to choose 7 different gowns for my wedding + pre wedding shoot! (HOW CAN I NOT BE EXCITED!!!)

    The question a lot of you are asking is which bridal shop & where I will be doing my pre wedding shoot?

    The answer is….

    We will be heading to Japan for our pre-wedding shoot! It’s like a dream come true! (The number one on my dreamlist for a wedding shoot is still Paris)

    But WHO doesnt like Japan! It’s like the most beautiful country in Asia!

    The most important thing is that I have never been to Japan, hahaha

    The bridal shop that we decided on is Casamia located in SS2.

    We didn’t do much research on bridal shops, what we did was extraordinary.

    Last week, I went to try out a few gowns in Hartamas and then I was like, “Darling, y not we go to SS2 to see if there is anything nice there?”

    Jo was in excellent mood so he agreed!

    We drove in the car and circled around SS2. I was like, “I will ask u to stop if I see something nice.”

    Then I saw this huge picture outside Casamia and shouted, “they do wedding shoots in Japan!!!”

    Jo stopped and we went in!

    We were quite lucky because they only had 2 spots left!

    The dates that they were going to be there were also exactly the same as ours! (We bought our tickets last year, it was on sale)

    They have a team of photographers and make up artists who will be there for a week, so basically we would only be responsible for our own flights and accommodations. They will also be providing the gowns.

    We both nodded and “wala” Im going to Japan for my pre-wedding shoot!

    Well, I guess that’s pretty much what I have done in 2 weeks. My friends say that Im so well prepared like Im born to be a planner for my own wedding.

    Hahaha

    What can I say, it’s my dream…

    I went to the bridal shop that I will be renting my white bridal gown from on Saturday with my parents. Tried out the one I wanted and parents agreed that I should go with a princess gown! (I guess I will be renting my white bridal gown from Lasposa, SS2, if I cant find anything nicer than the one I tried on)

    Will try to get some pictures of my gown the next time Im there for fitting k!

  • 6th Anniversary Dinner

    6 years and counting…

    I cant believe it has been SIX years!  To be honest, it felt like it was just yesterday.

    Jo is the one who normally decides where we should have dinner when it comes to our anniversary. I will just go wherever he suggests because I only eat cheap food.

    I’m not very into expensive and tiny portioned meals, it just wont satisfy my monster tummy!

    However, we tend stick with fine dining when it comes to celebrations (the main reason being that I can dress up!).

    Jo decided to have our 6th anniversary dinner at the restaurant we went to for our 1st annivesary.

    I know right… super romantic.

    It’s an French restaurant located in Changkat, KL

    Jo loves this restaurant because he says it feels like home.
