Review of my 2007

2008 in just few hours time and I'm gonna spend it on my bed channel surfing with my beloved EiCee (a name which I just thought of for my Astro Controller) watching people happily countdown while I text Bobby saying that I'm hungry but I don't want to eat because I scare fat.

- which is stupid since I'm already overweight.

My new year's eve is just so pathetic. Even my mum has a steamboat dinner to attend and I have no one. Thank God I still have Theen who's also alone this year. So both of us plan to go Thai Bucanneer and eat some hot and spicy tomyam soup and shit the bad qi out.

Anyway, let's do something which everyone is doing.
Summarizing the whole 2007.

January

Boring month for me as I received the news that I'll be spending my CNY alone in Brunei without my family and posted up the most cacat (photo editing) tutorial ever and get praised for it for being innovative. My first trial of baking, more like turning pop mee into chocolate cookie was in vain too.

February

Share my tips of organizing inner garments and spent a splendid night celebrating my boo's birthday. My CNY without parents turned out great as I spent it extraordinarily by watching movie and eating sushis with the usuals. Laughed when reading what my students want to do when they turn 21 and the yusheng didn't taste as good as I thought.

March

Tried to act like 13 and fail badly. Had fun making the half-burned chocolate cornflakes and bid goodbye to my best friend and lost terribly gambling playing lami with her. Note to self: Never ever play lami who get straight As.

Had heaps of fun from the school trip and get a new hair cut which only maintained the hair for 1 day. The next the hair turn disastrous after I woke up. Made a pink piggy wrist rest which is too short for my keyboard and Bobby constantly told me that he wanted to BBQ the pig very much!

Went back to Sibu for a short visit and bought a pirated iPod shuffle for my mum at Bitex.

April

Made a card and a notebook for Ness's birthday. OGDC is fun! Locked my colleague up in my lab and listed out the top 5 food I love in Belait. Celebrated Spiritual Garden's first blogniversary by showing my cleavage and acted bimbotic.

May

Blogged about OGDC again for the blogging competition. Celebrated our 3rd anniversary together and got shocked for Bobby's drastic weight lost. Made my first squishy key pouch and now it's just a piece of dirty plushie laying in my car. Had a farewell dinner for Chau and saw the super kiasu car with lots of yellow tags!

June

Met Rebbe for the first time and saw a perfume named "Palermo" . Made the eggs stood for Dragon boat festival. Girly's Lunch! I wanna have another one! Dissed the preteens who have lots of hyphens for their friendster's profile.


July

Made a noticeboard for my ugly wall. Learn that natural beauty is something I don't have. Got second place for the blogging competition. Saw Sultan from far when he's in KB for His Majesty 61st birthday celebration and posed with a Rolls-Royce. Celebrated Kelly's 24th birthday in Capers.

August

Had a netball match and went down to Miri to shop for Ms. Big face Lim's luggage bag and acted as if we're living in a very cold place. Went to KK for a short break (Part 1 & Part 2) . Baked cheese cake for the very first time and it was a huge success!

September

Bought guitar and planned to learn.... which I have to say, has dust all covered up because I has not touch it for months. I need to pay a teacher to teach me so I won't give up half way. Cleaned my keyboard and disgusted everyone. Made rose sandwiches and played lanterns like a kid on Mid-Autumn festival. Dad got an accident and emitted to hospital. Got nominated for Brunei Best Personal Blog. Attended my first and probably last prom.

October

Won the Best Personal Blog and did a makeover for my kitchen cabinet. Went to ICC for teacher's day celebration and got fed up over facebook.

November

Had a blasting 24th birthday celebration for myself and a stupid old man showed me his fist. Belait's infamous kolomee increase price. A weird auntie wanted my leftover bones and Bobby cooked dinner for me. DIY-ed a CD holder!

December

Pissed over girls who still stick with their bastards boyfriends. Had a great time at the youth camp and thought a lot about life and people. Turn my tee into a tube. Archery is fun, but tiring. Went to the second GBNO had chocolate fondue was great! Had a lousy Xmas eve dinner at Empire and attended my last wedding invitation for year 2007.





Annoying or not? Putting all the links up like that. For me it is lor.
Bah, I wana go lay on bed, watch TV and rot now.

Adios.

Vincent & Jenn's Wedding

My last red bomb of 2007, which I had gladly received without swearing "Crap! There goes my makan-makan in Excapade x 2. "

Maybe because this is another pair who had proven to me wrong about "Couples who dated too long might end up separating, and marry another person whom he/she has only known for 3months". Yeah, I kinda pessimistic about relationships sometimes. But true what, I bet most of you had come across couples like that.

I love the whole 有情人终成眷属 thingie!

28 December 2007

(出门)

One fine morning (Thank God for the good weather! You know la.. rainy seasons now mah, somemore Seria might get flooded again leh), birds happily chirping, family members of bride busy around the house and cars slowly filled in the whole parking space and ran up to see the young and beautiful bride...

... who was still getting ready for her big day.

Yes you see right. That was a red potty behind the pretty bride.

Ed: Chinese pantang- The potty is for a young (virgin) boy to jump on the bridal bed and later pee on it (with the potty of course) to symbolize 早生贵子 (Give birth quick quick). Its an auspicious act really.

Which lead me thinking...

• What if the bride was already pregnant? What's the point?
• What if the bride is a transwoman? How to get pregnant wor?
  

Anyway, back to topic.

Then there was the evil sister (just kidding lah Fang) who's busy preparing the goodies to give the groom and his brothers an "unforgettable" day!

Non-halal drink + One sour drink + One bitter drink + One super sweet drink

... all mixed up
And also Tuna + Wasabi Sandwiches. Yummm~

And the "can't wait to (娶老婆) kahwin" groom arrived earlier than the expected time!

with cute Teddies

and a bouquet of red roses

Along with his entourage who thinks we're deaf.
-__-"

I mean, what's with that portable loudspeaker uncle brother?

Tips #1 for groom to be:
Get friends who either are good in drinking, or have a big belly to hold the drinks and food.

Round 1 - Finish up all the drinks and food prepared.

Tips #2 for groom to be:
And also friend with big lungs to hold enough air to negotiate with the sassy girls and blow balloons. =D

Round 2 -Blow up all two packets of balloons.



Tips #3 for groom to be:
You also need friends who are physically fit.

Round 3 - 100 push ups to be divided by 5 "brothers".

Don't play play, the guys had no say at all when dealing with Yuen.

This is what I call 挨义气,
"Brother.. For you, I.... WILL!"

Tips #4 for groom to be:
Get fully loaded... with angpaos to be given away!

And Yuen made Vincent yelled out "I love you" at the doors as a love confession. So sweet lah.

Then finally, the door opened and the groom and bride united, kissed and live happily ever after.


Not so fast laaa.....

Still got a lot haven't do yet., like posing for cameras la...

Pray pray

Of course, what's a wedding without tea ceremony.

Tips #1 for bride to be:
You need to do some work out not only for your killer body, but also for your neck so that its strong enough to hold the weight of gold necklaces given and also, hands for bracelets too.


At the meantime, the brothers will help to load the bride's luggage and all sort of "Auscipicious Items", such as the plastic red potty and bath tub into the cars. Yes, one car is not enough.

Tips #5 for groom to be:
Prepare a virgin/non-virgin check list for your friends so that you can assigned those luggage lifting job for him.


HAHHAHAHAH!!! That's what happened really!
While the guys were carrying the stuffs out, the 媒婆 (match maker) said

"Married men cannot carry ah, only virgins. Any virgins here? Any virgins? We need virgins to carry the stuffs."

I was like... "If I'm a guy I don't even know whether I should raise my hand embarrassingly and let everyone knows I'm still a virgin because no one wannna *toot* (with) me, or claimed loudly that I had premarital sex so sorry I'm not a virgin anymore.. Die-Die situation!"

媒婆 (match maker) - Unlike the angmoh's matchmaker who introduces people for the purpose of dating and mating, for Chinese, she's the woman who helps to do all the tedious preparations for the wedding, negotiate for both families, knows all the pantang and tell what the bride and grooms should do.

p/s: They no longer have big black moles near their lips and had a fan on their hands with all the hair bun up.

Finally! We're all ready to send the newly weds to their love nest!

Must eat tang-yuan (glutinous rice balls) which symbolize reunion.
For auspicious purpose again.

Saw this portrait of theirs hanging on the wall. So chun lah MeiYu.

30 December 2007

(喜宴)

The Chinese letters in bracket means Wedding Banquet.

Which is inevitable to see a syok-sendiri host (MC for the night) to start the night by singing on stage after introducing the newly weds.

Followed by a bowl of shark fin soup after the signature cold dish.

(Some lame guy who sat beside me saw me taking picture for the bowl of soup and said, "Wah.. very handsome hor?", suan me for doing that I guess. But I know people who read blogs will say,"Are you a blogger?" instead if spot someone taking pictures of weird stuffs)

Typical Chinese Wedding Banquet which I'll try my best not to have next time. At least no lame MC, shark fin soup and so-call "Happy Hours" - Uncles singing oldies with that super vibration that they had to force out from their throat if not consider kalah liao.

I hope no one will object when I say no to shark fin. No, I'm not being cheapskate, karit or what, but really... is it a must to have shark fin on every table just to notify people, "Eh, I give you shark din, you give me big angpao understand?"

(I hope you did click the above link because I like the post pretty much. Oh ya, voted for her as well.)

- No offense to those who have traditional weddings. I'm just voicing out my thoughts. Y0u can disagree with me -


Apparently, the Xmas tress in Perish Hall is so much bigger than the one in Empire.


Tips #2 for bride to be:
Prepare your friends to sing on stage.

(YES! The bride actually wrote a note to the MC requesting her friends to sing on stage.)

Then, the champagne shaking session. . .

Wine Pouring

They look so pretty together donchatink?
And toasting!


Yes, the part which everyone of us yelled our heart out competing who has longer breathe to shout out the infamous phrase...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM SENG!

The funny MC who instructed the newly weds to kiss like the dolls behind them.

The kids enjoying watching the show.

The cute kid who accompanied his father up the stage when singing. He was moving around as if he was acting in the MV, lip-singing and looking all emo.

Very very cute kid from HK.

And the father sang, "你的名字我的姓氏", the most suitable song for the night compared to "榕树下" and "做人一定要讲道理".

做人一定要讲道理 <- funny title I know, never know such song existed. Gosh, those uncles sibeh ganas leh.


Eat full full, see enough liao then its time to go home.

The newly weds along with their parents all line up at the exit showing gratitude for the guests who turned up for their wedding.

Coincidentally, that's DoraMable's daddy in the picture. =)

- THE END -

What? You're not leaving the page until you see a picture of me inside? Ai meh? Don't want la.. I malu wor... Must ah? If you don't see cannot sleep ah? Okay la Okay la.. I force force let you see la. *puke while typing it out*

With the lovey-dovey couple

(Yes, that was the prom dress I wore to the Curtin Prom. I told you I'm gonna recycle and wear it again what.)

The 6 out of 8 Garden-Circlings

Chau and Ping, you two pose pose yourself and photoshop your face in it lah okay.
You two big face when come back ah? Sien... no one to talk crap with.
