July 2017

..had been one of the most happening months for me.

Why?

Well, first of all, AIA’s townhall. Though the sessions were so-so, we had great food.

The best of all?

It’s free!

During the middle of the month, I witnessed a beautiful marriage of one of my girlfriends. Plus, it was a lovely gathering with friends.

Later, I had a short weekend in Penang to spend time with him.

And also a great catch-ups with them.

Then I ended the month with a registration of marriage.

And it was mine.

Plus my brother’s too.

Which I had posted earlier.

July 29th, 2017

..was the day we become husband and wife, officially!

He did not go alone. Mom, nani, Deep and Vila went as well so, I was really happy and grateful. All the important people in my life were there to witness this moment.

Not only that, my brother and his fiancé also had their ROM on the same day as us. Double happiness? Definitely.

This day was mostly arranged both by my lovely grandmother and a loving uncle. Without them, we do not know how to make all these arrangements as we are not in Sibu. Really blessed.

It was just a small ceremony followed by a simple luncheon at our favourite restaurant.

So when’s the big day?

Stay tuned!

June 2017

..was another great month.

It started off with MACC’s Now That’s What I Call Jokes Vol 8 and the husband purposely made the trip to Kuala Lumpur to join my friends and I for the show. Therefore, another lovely weekend with him. We did made the effort to meet at least once a month ever since I left Penang.

Later, my family came in the next weekend. Even my brother and his fiance came from Singapore to join us. We spent our weekend up in Genting Highlands. Though it was only a short trip, we had a great time together – explored the place, dinner at Din Tai Fung, GHPO expeditionS and bah kut teh the next day.

Another reason that June was a great month because we had arranged a simple hen’s night for one of our babes – the second person in our group to get married. It was a surprise for her because she did not know we had the guys to join us as well. We had fun with loads of drinking and challenges for her. Of course not forgetting our best wishes for her and her marriage.

How did I end the month?

The husband visited me again during the long holiday. I was really delighted that this time we were able to spend more time together.

Of course the worst feeling was to bid each other farewell again.

Therefore, I am really looking forward to us staying and living together in Kuala Lumpur.

First Month

One of the major reasons year 2017 being a busy year was because it is the year of me moving back to Kuala Lumpur. I left this place in 2011 and after 6 years, I am finally back.

Stronger. Tougher. And happier.

How was my first month here?

Well, I am glad that I was able to settle down within 2 days thanks to help of my family. Though it was just a small room, it was cozy enough and the owner was a nice lady.

How is my workplace?

Well, that is my workstation. Compared to the one I had in Penang, it is a lot smaller. However, the team that I will be working with is a lot bigger. A lot.

How was my first day at work?

I received a lunchbox from my colleague in Penang as a welcome gift. As the delivery was late, I saved it for dinner instead.

How about Toastmasters?

I do not plan to go clubbing for the time being as I need time to settle down. However, one of my Toastmasters friends had invited me to join him and his club members to celebrate his achievement – karaoke!

How about my husband?

He came to visit me, of course. It was only for the weekend but we had fun. We appreciated every moment we had together. And we bought our engagement rings too. Together.

How about my family?

Guess what? My mom was here over the weekend and it was Mother’s Day. Therefore, we took this chance to celebrate Mother’s Day by having durians! Yesh, we had durians to celebrate Mother’s Day. Unique and lovely way to celebrate.

Also, Mother’s Day was also chibicouple’s second anniversary but both of us totally forgot about it. I only remembered it after two days and when I told him about it, guess what he told me?

We appreciate every moment together. Hence, everyday is a special day for us.

Memang pandai cakap.

Grandpa’s Blessed Birthday

My brothers and I will go back Sibu at least twice a year – Chinese  New Year and our grandfather’s birthday.

This year was not an exception too. It was great to be home again. Short trip but lovely.

Not only I got to spend time with my family, my fiance was there with me too. He arrived much later as he had to work on Saturday morning. He made the effort to come to Sibu even though it was a really short trip for him.

Similarly, we were back to Sibu first flight in the morning on Saturday and had to leave on Sunday. As you can see, our family is growing – bigger and happier.  Most importantly, I still keep my own vow and will continue to do so..

Happy blessed 75th birthday to the greatest man in our family.
