The Proposal 23.06.2013

Better write it down early before I forget, or should be we forget… everything got to be plural now….like us, we, family *panics

So this Pingu planned it for some time already by telling me stuff and feeding me with information so to let me feel that he will not be proposing anytime soon. Things like he’s so busy with his work now.. not time for other stuff lah, need to focus on job.. can’t focus on any other stuff. Also in T’ganu no place to buy ring, so if he comes to KL to buy, then I’ll surely know. Plotting to secretly come to KL to buy without my knowledge some more! So I was like confident jer nothing will happen anytime this year.

The night before we go to Langkawi, we met his colleague to collect some 'spare parts' for work. (now I know it was my ring WTF) While they were chatting, I took the bag to have a look inside. Inside I saw two boxes.. a cardboard partially covered box that look like a ring box and another box as well with some paper . Immediately I my mind went… OMG! That looked like a ring box! Did he plan to propose? *panic mode on

Surprisingly, Pingu was just as calm, continude drinking his coffee, NO REACTION. His friend however panicked asked me why I simply go take and see people things! Hahahahha! So I returned it to the table and continue thinking…. If it was a ring, then why got two boxes? Takkan he go buy his own ring also meh straightaway? But he had no reaction, so shouldn’t be lah.. some more on our way back, he gave and ask me to keep that bag for him!!!! so I lagi confirm that it’s not ring lah!! Hahahahha damn relieved!

Well, he hid the ring+ box+spare ring (just in case he felt like kenakan me) in the laptop bag that we use as bag pack! When in Langkawi.. I did not carry any bag.. so he carried my purse and phone for me.. and I have been like digging the bag as usual, putting stuff in, taking stuff out… and I did not find those stuff he hid!!! Damn fail rite me?

On 23 June 2013, there was supposed to be a super moon and I thought being at the beach was the best place to view the moon.

So we were on the beach, at one far corner, just us. And I was disappointed that the moon I saw was just normal moon except that it is kind of blur… covered with haze I think! Hahahha.. I was there googling on my phone.. searching if it was the right day to view super moon etc.. when I noticed Pingu was using his phone also. I asked what was it he was doing, he said, searching about red wine stuff… (LIE! He was searching about proposal stuff hahahahha)..

~the super moon, our witness~ 

So fine.. gave up on super moon, might as well just walk together and enjoy the beach.. I really love beaches especially night time..:) As we were walking, he asked me to carry the bag pack.. huh! ordering me some more! So I turned my back, so that he can put the bag on for me to carry. After that I continued walking, not yet even one step, he called me.

I turned around, there he was smiling cheekily with a ring box in his hand!! @.@
My first reaction was, OMG he’s proposing.. what to do?? *hyperventilates
I think I tried to run… hahahha… I felt I needed to hide…
I was SHHHYYYYYY!!! my face was feeling so hot... probably it had turned red dy! hahaha

He held me tight and knelt on his knees… and said a bunch of things which I cannot remember!!
Damn touching all the things he say until half way he not yet finish talking I felt I wanna cry dy so I fast fast hug him so that my tears won’t fall.. hahahhaha.. want face until like that..

Apparently my answer to him was “ok..ok.ok..” hahahhahah forgot to say YES… later I think I did say when he asked me again to reconfirm.. hahahhaha

Then he put the beautiful ring on my ring finger… and we kissed.. ;)

We walked and sat by the beach.. so that he can turn on the flash light to show me the ring which was absolutely beautiful.. :) just like what I dream of… and it was so big.. I could wear it on my thumb!

How did he manage to smuggle the ring there? Well, he hid it in his back pack, covered by a piece of ‘used’ hello kitty tissue and with a new pack on top.. the picture explains it all.

And he knew if I saw it, I would not touch it.. cause I will feel yucky touching the used tissue.. THAT REALLY HAPPENED!! I wanted to take the tissue, and I really did saw that ‘used’ tissue, and I thought.. yeee.. so disgusting one.. stuff so many dirty tissue here.. yucks! Not gonna touch it!

So that’s the story of the proposal. Too bad no recording of it.. because Pingu tried to record, but his butt clicked stop cause he kiap the phone on his butt with his shorts waitstband! Hahahhahah he damn kek sam lor! Hahahhhahaaa

 ~ fiance and fiancee :) ~ 

I felt so super happy and excited that I could not sleep the night and I woke up super early before sunrise! Really super happy and I felt so loved (actually more like FINALLYyyyyy someone wants to marry me! wahahahaha)… i felt so comfortable and so safe in his arms and knowing that he will be there for me always.

Up or down; hard or easy; good times or bad times we’re going to walk hand-in-hand through our journey of life, together. *sniffs

It's the princess's birthday!

Hi guys!!

when you see this, i am already at a wonderful place called Langkawi

enjoying the sun and breeze, hopefully the haze don't reach there!

i don't know why i love Langkawi so much that i must visit it for the 5th time i guess.. mad!

this time however, it's just going to be me and Pingu

so no surprise, it'll be a LAZZZYYYYy trip..

and all i have planned is just food! OMG!

so let's see where i plan to eat first...

we'll start with hopefully the one i most wanted to go first lah

Nice hor? romantic leh...

this place is called Mangoes, run by two Aussie ladies...

Tripadvisor reviews are raving about this place...

we'll see...

burger looks nice and yummy leh... 

but i heard they serve roast pork..

ROAST PORK!!  SIU YUK!!! in LANGKAWI!!!

die die also must go eat lohhhhhh...

and many said their Sunday Brunch is awesome...

apparently, the best Egg Benedict wor...

and forgive me, i haven't tasted that before...

so i believe, it'll be a good place for me to try my first egg benedict

well, this is how the place actually looks like.. daytime...

less the photography skill and angle.. Hahahahahaha

still, it's next to a PANTAI so it's good.

next would be for some Asian food...

so it'll be either Pahn Thai 

Thai Food of course!

or Malay/Western food at The Cliff 

awesome right all the ambience and view?

hopefully the food also good lah..

will also try this shop.. recommended by Tripadvisor also...

so can go there for lunch!! YUMMSSS...

Also not to forget a famous Chinese Seafood restaurant at Kuah Town...

probably, the pasar malam also if Pingu agrees..

so i go try makan first, come back then report ok!

Adios!

LIFE LESSON #1 - of money, choice and responsibility

ohiyo!! i am back from my not very long vacation to Hokkaido

i was about to start to blog about the trip but something came up

and i decide to postpone that just because i have no mood! 

i am going to write this down because i have spent one sleepless night and few depressingly stressful days to find a closure to my problem...

and i want this to be a LIFE LESSON for me because i realise i am pretty much not exposed in monetary issues like this and to face the solution for it

frog in the well kind of situation

everytime after a trip, reality start to kick back in...payments have to be made and especially those spent on the trip..

when we go for trips with friends/famiies it would be inevitable to have common spending

or in my specific case this time, was payment on behalf.

in my specific case, what happened was Kelly's (gonna call her K from now on) husband told me at the airport to take care of his wife as this is the first time she is going overseas for trip and he gave a budget of RM3k for her expenses..

well, merrily-happy-excited-for-the-trip me noted and agreed. and so the rest of the trip was all well and good... though we spent off all our cash in hand and i had to think of ways to find more cash....got it and swipe some on my magic card!

back home, back to reality... after reconciliation with magic card bank and also other fellow tour friends, time to pay back debts had arrived. i calculated everything nicely,got all information and informed K about the amount that needed to be paid. The response i got from K was -------------silent---------------------

so then i sent the details Pingu and told him to claim from K's husband the money for me. K's husband did briefly spoke to me that he has no money to pay me. i honestly thought it was kind of like a joke and took it lightly.

until one fine morning, K's father in law called me.. and asked how much did she owe me. He told me that he will pay for all her additional expenses and mine too! i objected and refused to accept the offer of course! how can one old man pay for our own additional expenses???

the fact that it is additional is a CHOICE. i can opt to not spend any extra but i chose to because i have made the decision that i will be responsible for the amount spent. K CHOSE to spend extra because her husband said he gave her additional RM3k to spend.

then it dawned to me that K's husband was not joking after all. he had no money to pay and intend to just leave it as it is. i was like FUCK! what is this attitude? what kind of mentality is this? this is not how somebody whom i actually regarded as 'family' treat each other! ALL LIES and trying to take advantage of my kind heart!!! BLOODY FUCK no wonder K was silent.

i was also angry with K. BLOODY HELL you fucking spent happily like a rich bitch and now when it is payback time, u keep quiet? act like nothing had happened? what?? think that money will drop down from the sky? HUH! shouldn't you as a WIFE should be responsible to claim money back from your beloved husband the money to pay me back???

HELLO!!! however much your husband owe you does not mean the whole world owes you too! fucking please realize that I AM NOT YOUR FAMILY or anything that you may think i could be related to you that made you think that you could take advantage of me! if your STUPID husband is not able to pay for your spending, you should know it. CONTROL YOURSELF LAH BITCH! and even so, after that you should bear the responsibility of your own spending. you should go ask the old man for money and pay me. NOT FUCKING JUST TREAT LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED and the old man had to call me and take responsibility of your actions!

Fine! Lesson to learn. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE... however much i may agree, i am still going to reserve some trust for my own family and close friends. People i know that will stick to you through thick and thin and most importantly, RESPONSIBLE for their own actions.

strangers, not so close friends, and others (especially K and husband) shall not be trusted anymore and should they ever ever need me to pay for them or lend them any money... well, i would say that the request had to go through many levels of decision and will be questioned thoroughly and to be honest, i think would unlikely pass through the first few levels of decision making. u see, one of the levels will question their INTEGRITY and so i guess K's and husband does not have any and their names have been BLACKLISTED dy.

Japan Day 5: Universal Studios Japan - Kyoto

my post on Japan is going to be shorter and shorter...

getting lazy dy.. hahahhaa gonna just put links for self reading! 

early morning, we woke up and 'someone' set off some WWW1 atomic bomb

and this girl ended up like this!hahahhahaha

went to a nearby shop for breakfast

i ate Kitsune Udon, udon with tofu :P

the noodles are so yummy, springy, not too hard, not too soft!

that's the Tsūtenkaku tower behind us

NONE of us wanted to walk there to the tower, so we just took the picture from afar.

the area we stayed was actually deemed and seedy and dangerous which boasts a colourful history and unique identity.. well we didn't know that till our last morning there

if i knew, i would go for the 'porn cinemas' there

i haven't been to such old-school run down cinemas and what more, playing porn!! @_@

USJ day 2!!!

so hard to capture this picture! 

mine didn't work out well :(

see that japan flag on the left? this was the perfect shot we aimed for!

bored while queuing

cute food in USJ that i 'almost' have no heart eating ;)

USJ 'town'

After USJ, we headed over to Kyoto

looked for our Minshuku where we had to walk so so far away

but that was when we witnessed the awesome truth about Japanese people!

they are super super helpful, kind, friendly and awesome

it was already late at night when we reached

and we could not find our Minshuku

and one kind gentleman...

was walking with his wife when we asked him for directions

he asked his wife to go home first and went all the way to guide us 

super ❤❤❤

then our Minshuku lady boss was super nice too!

she guided us to the best sushi stall every my baybee ate!

he ate like so so so much and it was super damn cheap 

i also ate quite a lot actually... with the fact that i dont eat raw food, no sea food except fish

i like the tempura fried salmon sushi the most!!

it was at this shop where we embarrassed ourselves, really..

see the bottom insert in the above picture, where there's a plate of sushi above a bowl?

ok, see the line of sushi in the above picture? we were sitting there picking our food

then we saw sushi on a bowl and we liked it!

we were thinking, wah! why those all on the bowl one so delicious der??

more expensive maybe? dun care lah, just eat!

we dont come all the way to japan and let good food pass you by!

so we took so so many on-the-bowl-sushi

after some time, we realised that there were colour indication on the bowl

OMG! only then we realised that it was to indicate specific orders for a specific table coded by colours!!

so we were like eating all the orders made by our next table!

HAHAHAHAHAHHA

Japan Day 4: Osaka Castle & Universal Studio (1/2 Day)

Fourth day in Japan !!!

I had Azuki bean paste with pancake for breakfast! it's actually red bean paste and it's super sweet!

we stayed at Shinseikai area

at Tennoji Zoo entrance..rawwwwr

my best buddy, hippo!

hahhaha but to my disappointment, they didn't felt soft and fluffy!

it was hard and rough.. 

OSAKA CASTLE..

main attraction in osaka

inset are the food we ate at the entrance

Clockwise from Top: Takoyaki, Tamago Senbei (Egg On A Cracker) & Okonomiyaki

Fooling around at Osaka Castle Park

Went back to Dotonbori to have dinner!

Kushikatsu! Famous Osaka-n food! with tonkatsu dipping sauce + fresh cabbage

The Osaka Rule! 

No double dipping of kushikatsu.. no one wants to taste your saliva ok!

This is the shop we went as we saw super long queue the other day... 

so long till they had to start a queue in the middle of the road so that it's not blocking pedestrains!

so we must go back again to try..

for me, it's just so-so only lah.

Japan Day 3: Osaka

Ohiyo Gozaimasu! This was the coldest morning in Japan...2°C

in our dorm before we head up.. fully dressed with long johns...

we utilised our 2 days Osaka Unlimitted Pass that costs us 2,700 yen each and did a de-tour to somewhere special..

we took the Hankyu Takarazuka Line and travelled to Ikeda Station

to The Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum!!! where all Nissin noodle history started

these are our self-designed noodle cup! L-R: Shoni, Pingu, Lee, Yennee

by now we should know each and everone's drawing skills!! hahahhhaa

queuing up to fill up the cups with noodles!!

the garnishing to our noodles! we get so select 4 types each cup! how awesome is that!!

picking up the sealed cup noodle for the next step...

Packing! we need to pump pump pump till that bag is filled with air.. like an airbag to hold and protect the cup!

After the museum, it was raining... we we travelled back to the town.. and went to HEP Five for a decent lunch and took a ride on a big red ferris wheel

they had an iphone dock there...so me and pingu had a romantic ride! :)

after that, it was already evening also most attraction has already closed, or will be closed...

the only available one is.....

another ferris wheel!! hahahhahaaa Tempozan Ferris Wheel!

apparently, the wheel has colored lights that provide a weather forecast for the next day. Orange lights indicate a sunny day, green lights a cloudy day and blue lights indicate rain.

So for us, the next day is a cloudy day! and yeah... it was a cloudy day the next day! so accurate oh! and this info my friend, is what i know only when i am typing this! hahahhahaha

pooh is my ♥

when it was our turn to enter the gondola, i saw pooh in the next one! i was super excited and asked to be in the next gondola and the kind conductor allowed me!! i was super happy and so i hugged pooh the whole journey on the wheel and Pingu was a bit jealous! hahahaha

SO HE SLEPT!

We went to Minami (namba) Area for dinner, specifically, to Dotonbori in Shinsaibashi. It is Osaka's Food street and there are lots and lots of food there.. and we chose to eat at at sushi restaurant because it is cheap and there is a big hand holding sushi on top of the shop! (just because)

After dinner, while yennee and lee headed back to the hotel, Pingu and i went to Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade for him to play in the arcade. It has always been his dream to play in the arcades in Japan after he discovered the joy of Hong Kong arcades. However, his feedback was that Japan players are not into the games that he played. HK is still better in terms of arcade.

so that's the end of our day 3.
