A wedding ~ otto & amy

finally tied the knot! Otto + Amy!

it seems to me that love is in the air and wedding bells are goin ding dong like crazy. i've wind of it earlier but only at present moment, when things calmed down, this is the time when you feel the change.



i love church weddings. but i get embarrassed that my eyes won't obey my brains command to remain dry, they start overflowing when the bride walked down the aisle.



i was a little bit late for otto's + amy's church ceremony so i missed all that! drat! i didn't get a picture too! but it went well. the funniest thing is dean caught the flowers. doesn't that beat all?



there were two night receptions, in hyatt and in angler's. the boys were really noisy + naughty at hyatt and noyod really got smashed and became mr. octopus but only to su~chan. nya~ha~ha! otto got smashed too and did his signature momoh dance! har!har!har! but noyod was worse off. ehehe. its tough to be the best man! but it was a really a merry do! @ angler's the following sat, was more subdued and the couple wore traditional wear. awww! he!he!

its a little bit lonely when you friend sets out a new life journey and while you are still clinging to the life of a tree trunk (sebatang kara, am i saying this right? hahaha!) . its like a game you play that you have to go through certain stages till you complete the game. they've leveled up and you're still in first stage. they get on this boat, set sail and wave back at you but actually they are not actually waving but calling you to hurry up and get on the boat. ... the thing is.... i really don't want to get on that boat.

scuze, the sappiness. happens sometimes, i'm really happy for them, they looked really good together. Amy is a relative of mine and otto is my partner in crime, i wish them every happiness.

Doulos!

my favourite floating bookstore is back!

i heard from somewhere from someone that it'll be the last trip to this port :( .... awww! too bad ... although, i only look forward to doulos coz of the classics books that can't be found in local stores and don't cost a fortune. but seems like all that i want , i've acquired over the years. thanks doulos!



since this is the last time i thought i'd take in the dinnertime show ... well, i don't want to put down doulos's hard work but i couldn't really say that it was great, because its exactly the opposite. or mebbe i'm just used to ...ummm, something better. was it interesting?, nnnh, i guess in a way. i laughed (i should say snickered) a lot during the show because the lady doing the malay translation was really ... well, it kinda sucked actually. but she was nice and it entertained me for five minutes. after that, its just annoying. we left halfway thru the show.

correct me if i'm wrong, these artworks were done by kids in commemoration of doulos's visit. these are the best two that i like, kids can do these kinda things now? yikes, its still the stick figure for me at this age :p

anyhow, come again doulos, its still great buying your books!

aidilfitri 2007

eventho i enjoy meeting the family, raya has lost its meaning since mom's (grandma, not to be confused wid mommy) gone.

used to get all excited wen @this time with my new baju kurung or kebaya or even kedah, we'd always had an open house, but now i just wear jeans and we celebrate @ other ppl's house. just not the same. gets worse every year.

i absolutely adore mom's kuih makmur. miss dem so much dat i baked dem myself. luckily i helped her often nuff to memorize d recipe. its somewhat touched n go cos mom never did use measurement. din bake any dis year.


i'm a little sad but still happy enuff to spend a little time with family. in dis yea portraits ....

not complete set. hope can do d whole family one day.

wanted 2 take d others pics 2 but de were off


somewhere. its a big place, u can get lost if u wanted 2. guess de were camera shy!!


i think mommy looks the best here. (of cos, since i took the picture, nya~ha~ha!)

mommy's been having morbid tots lately, she says to take nice pictures of her for her obituary! (touch wood, touch!touch!)

its hard 2 b a daughter.







the sisters, 2nd generation. different fr sister n me, the elder sister IS the elder sister. a little while ago, de were just little girls, wen did de grow up?


u. sven + a. mina, i remember wen i was in high school i sneaked into rocky (a popular club then) n bump into dem. a humiliating nite, i choked on 'promise me'. de never tol mom or mommy! ehehe, lucky!

u. sven is my fav uncle! he let's me do wutever, ever since i was a little gal n knows me the best. only he can make me cry!

a. mina is also fun loving, its hard to get a good picture of her tho, she's too conscious n always moves at the crucial time!

i like this picture of dem d most (well of course, again, i took it, hehehe!)

a. rita~ she lets me do wutever too :) mommy was kinda jealous of her @ one time since i spent so much time @ her house wen she lived nearby... nya~ha~ha!

remember 'come and get your love' @ damai? it was mother's day but ... ummm ... where was my mommy? eheheh. i showed up @ her office a teensy weensy minute wen i was 17 n somehow manage to get 2 admirers, it was fun flirtin wid dem over d fon. i ended up goin out wid one of em ... for a day. i still see him around town these days, he works nearby :)

she's also a bookworm like me. i tink she's read my entire library at least twice.

i think she is my prettiest aunty! actually, all my aunt were babes wen de were younger, i saw their pictures :) wish i coulda take their portraits!


ani, cousin~in~law. we hardly see each other, so it was a treat. kk bein such a small place n all, its a wonder y we never bump into each other more. i bump into ppl dat i dun like all the time. its a mystery. the last time we met was wen i was on the mega sale assignment and i was shooting at karamunsing. @ dat time i had cropped hair dat was sum yrs ago, so she's probably shocked 2 see me now! she on d other hand, hardly changed at all, whats her secret i wonder, she's gotta be almost forty right?


cousin myra + casey. both of dem r d quiet type, i wonder how is that possible since the rest of us is so loud.


cousins and nephew. just clowning around! they must be shocked, since its not often dat i'd play wid dem :) de looked like de trying to get away huh?



:)

at least i can still haf dis ...

my grandma

its another year gone without her.



little by little, it gets less harder to visit her grave. words always fail me when it matters the most, but she could hear it from my heart right? so, its okay right?

Mommy's energetic moon cake festival performance!

i remember when in school i use to dance a lot. mommy always comes to all of my dance performance. this time its my turn to check out mommy's moves :)



i adore moon cakes but this is the first time that i attended the festival. all over sabah, many moon cake festival activities are being held throughout the month. this one is special cos it's mommy's first ever public performance !



there were also lots kawaii kids performing in the festival. this little girl (the grumpy looking one) really reminds me of me! and the little boy next to her reminds me of ritz. oh, how i miss those days!


anyhow, great performance mommy! too bad it rained!

scoops gelato @ warisan square

came for an assignment ;0, but it sorta turned out to be a reunion with Bree, Sel, Yo, Missy and I in da house!

really yummy stuff here! just looking at it makes me sweet! (yeah, right!)
sometimes my work rocks!

go try it out!
