CAMER-a-ON

While we were in Ipoh... for FOUR days!! we decided to go up to Cameron Highlands for a 1 day trip :D

oh! but these 2 pics were not taken in Cameron la, they were taken from the pet shop that was next to the hotel my parents were stayin in.



poor lil monkey... he had that classic animal-rights-picture look

OK! Camer(a)on!!

my daddy, in his stare into space look :D

hehe! cheeky daddy!
daisy! my fav flower!
me likey the purple center of this flower :D

passing by the Fern Hotel.. or some hotel with "FERN" in its name la :P
nice looking place! very new toO!

Then we went to check out the bungalow that my family and i lived in a LONG time ago when we went to Camerons for a holiday a LONG time ago...

i'm really very sleepy rite now.. so i'll just let the pics do the talking k! dont really have a story to go with them anyways :P





hehe! we took a gazillion shots to get this rite one! :D


haha! aint my daddy cute?
aheem.... dont worry, nobody was injured in the course of taking this pic :P

nostalgic le? ;)



Cameron... one of the places in Malaysia that i dont mind goin again and again =)

Tears in Heaven part I

WARNING! this is an emo post... as mentioned in the title... so navigate away if u dont want what u are about to read to gloom-ee-fy ur day.

sorry i couldnt put all of these in 1 post, cause majority of the pics are in my cousin's cam and i'm stealing time from my internship-log-writing to update my blog before this becomes UBER stale news... for those of you that dont know yet or read this before i've completed part 1... my maternal grandfather passed away last Tues morning due to kidney failure and whatever problems that followed the kidney failure la :P



just playing around with the angles :P


the cemetery where the remains of my kong kong now lie...

moving the casket

lowering the casket

the onlooking family

still lowering the casket.. heh!
yea.. i know there's no need to put so many pics of this.. but ar.. this is the FIRST burial that i can blog about! so i must document it lo :D

the farewell rose
the farewell rose with the casket in the background :D (sorry.. no time to combine pics.. :P)

throwing in their farewell roses...
nobody caught a pic of me doin this :(

maybe they should have got us to remove the paper wrapping the flowers... cause now it just looks like some nut littered in my kong kong's grave! heh!

the family he left behind

closing the grave


Rest In Peace dear Kong Kong =)

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

I Can't Say this Enough...

yes! u can call me a NOOB! cause i the GENIUS!! forgot to take a pic of the pressie i got for Nick and his bride Sara before wrapping it -.- (it must be the hols la.. slowing my brains :P)
but i HAVE to blog about it, cause this is the FIRST wedding gift i'd ever bought! :D gaH! just when i thot birthday gifts are hard to buy... wedding gifts are HARDER! cause u've gotta get something that 2 ppl can use.. what more.. 2 persons of a different gender! STRESS!

so i decided to get.. quite a neutral gift la.. a mini aromatherapy set! :D
after payin only did i realise that i didnt pay attention to the smell of the rose and lavender oil! :S i was more intrigued by the rose-stone thingy and the idea that u dont need a candle to heat the oil.. cause u just have to drop some of the oil on the rose-stone thingy... and the scent will disperse from the stone. HOW COOL IS THAT?! (of course i couldnt test it out for myself la)

so NICK! do let me know if it works ya! :D and according to the sales person... the rose-stone will turn pink as u use it! :D

ah.. yes! if u havent noticed, i was talking about a wedding- Nick and Sara's wedding that happened on Sat :D

it was a GARDEN wedding! (another first! :D)

i was early that morning.. hehe! like Kawan mentioned.. PERHIMPUNAN time! i reached the hotel at 7.30, Nick was there of course, some friends and family members of the bride and groom were already present, but the seats were empty... so i took the opportunity to snap some hopefully-beautiful-pics :D

oh yes.. y 7.30 u might ask.. that was my 1st question too! (i checked the time several times to make sure i saw the correct time!) cause it's a garden wedding lo... the bride and groom didnt want us to fry/bake under the CRAZY heat of Msia =)

hehe! the AISLE!
to us.. it may just look like a nicely rolled out red carpet with beautiful flower balls decorated on each side that led to a simple white tent...

but i believe to Sara, the aisle would have looked entirely different...

she might not have noticed the flowers that were at each side of the aisle,
neither would she have realized the redness of the carpet, cause the color of the carpet wouldnt have mattered to her (all that mattered was the gentleman that would be waiting at the end of it)

instead, she would have looked at the smiles that lit the faces of the people on the left side of the aisle... faces she recognized, faces of her friends and family...
then she would have turned to the right, also acknowledging the smiles that were on the right side of the aisle... she may not be as familiar with these faces, but she knew that from this day on, these faces would be very much part of her life...
she wouldnt smile in response, she COULDNT becase she would already be GRINNING from ear to ear as she continued looking pass the smiles until she met the pair of eyes, until she saw her Groom...
she would now need to focus, but that would be a challenge... because her eyes would have been blurred with glistening tears- tears of joy...

As she walks towards her Groom, nothing else would have mattered...
(btw, this is my fav pic :D)

Upon reaching the simple white tent, OH! to her, that would NOT be a simple white tent...
At that white tent, she would give up the her life of singlehood to be united with her Groom...
They would exchange vows that would now bind them as ONE...

Yes, only Sara would see the true picture of the Aisle...

hehe! coming back to wat Dot saw :P

the reception table.. spot the Groom! (hint: the guy with the bow tie :P)

hehe! still entertaining myself with taking "macro" shots :D

the ceremony was called to order at around 8.30?

hehe! see the BEAM on Nick's face!! :D

ah... til death would they part =)

presenting...
Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas James Tay Wee Hock! (i hope i got his name rite! :P)

hehe.. yes.. i noticed that i dont have a proper shot of the bride and groom... that's cause...


SO MANY PRO CAMERAMEN were there!!! like seriously.. i think there were at least FIVE of them!
i shy le... *blushes* :P

so yes.. i know this is like the *counts* 3rd time i'm writing this... but...

... CONGRATS NICK AND SARA!!!
I'm so very very VERY happy for the BOTH of you!! =)

I Dont Know What I've Been Told

But Daddy here is getting old! AHAKS!
i know i sound like a terrible daughter for making fun of my dad aging... but...
i have thot about noticing more of his white hair... and wrinkles... the slowness in his walk.. and NOPE!! those thots didnt make me happy AT ALL!!

it made me kinda emo.. so i'd rather laugh it off :P

i PESTERED my brother into taking us to Bubba Gump Shrimp for Daddy's bday..

and SUCCESS WAS MINE!!! MuAHAHAHAHA!

while waiting for my parents and popo to arrive (ko and i went earlier to do some shopping... but the sales was OVER!!! *wails*)

i explored our little hut :D

since i was there.. may as well take some pics rite?

i noticed there was another plate behind this blue one..

so i flipped it to take another pic lo...

and wat do u know! the waiter came asking wat was it he could do for me.. i was like "HUH?"

then he explained that that plate was to call for the waiter...

Dot: I SEE...

ladilada.. everyone came.. and it was ordering time!!
i had my eyes set on an ALCOHOLIC drink!! *everybody say HOH!!!* it's a cocktail drink la..

Sunburst! or something with sun in it la.. :P

i had to take a pic of it cause there was this light underneath the cup (i actually took a vid of it too cause the light CHANGES COLOR! *jakun-ness i know :P*)

and yes.. that's as always my poser brother :P

now let's see wat's for dinner!

our appetitzer that looked like it was tah-pau-ed with newspaper -.-

but it was YUMMY!

Caesar Salad- a must order when my mom's around..
altho my mom generally does NOT splash money on food... but she likes this salad, hence! and i aint complaining :P

oh dear.. i forgot wat are all the names of the food!! :S
but i think this is the first main course on the shrimp page.. lets just hope they dont change their menu that often la :P

this is some seafood rice
the cheese in it was...

well.. for some ppl, u cant have too much cheese in anything... but for me..

this is some stuffed shrimp thingy.. shrimp stuffed with crab, talk about cholesterol! :S
and yes, this had cheese too...
if u scroll up and notice the foods again.. u'll realise that there was CHEESE in ALL of them!!!
if the prawn wasnt already covered with cheese... they gave us a cheese dip -.-

it's not that i'm complaining.. i'm just saying that we've gotta be smarter the next time we go there, if we EVER go there...

yue and sab! i think if we go there hoh.. we order 1 of the dishes above... the 3 of us can share and we'll still be FULL!
that's how rich the food there was!

anyhow, i'm still happy koko brought us there (eventhough he hesitated much :P)

daddy was shy... cause the ppl in bubbagump celebrates bdays like how they do it in Friday's (just that they arent as coordinated, which makes it not so nice) so we decided to bring the cake home and cut it at home.
see! i'm not such a terrible daughter afterall la.. i bought the cake k! :P
had to contribute la, he's my daddy too! :D


altho daddy's shy in public.. but at home...
he can be quite no shame 1 la.. and so u wonder why is Dot like that... well now u know! :P

Daddy the conductor, mommy and popo the choir! heh!

hehe! so cute rite?
my daddy! :P
sigh.. altho we look happy here, no doubt that we were.. but i FORGOT to include the cake in the frame!! somebody stab me! shy... my parents havent seen the pics yet.. *lalala*
maybe i should let them, then tell them that it's the cam's frame.. it's too small.. which it is la.. compared to the new generations of cams..

p/s: DONT TELL ME I COULD HAVE MOVED THE CAMERA A LIL FURTHER BACK!!
show me some support here pls.. so i can get a new cam! :P

oh yes.. there's some fuss goin around about water shortage... some locations in klang valley wont have water.. ladilada...

so here's a solution (courtesy of bubbagump shrimp)

:P

this happened on 14/04/09

Happy Birthday Daddy! =)

I will survive- Dot's Rendition :P

ahaks! this is what happens when u cross mou-liu-ness (just-to-free) moments with Dot! :P

i have a darling fren that loves this song... and i kinda promised her that i'll be making a video for her bday.. but i kinda put it behind me.. cause i didnt have suffiecient ideas yet...

BUT NOW... hehehe! (took me 5 continuous hours to complete this le! but i is HAPPEE!! :D)

Ho Chiak (part 1)

After our mid terms, we headed down south to the land of History and FOOD! :D

went down in 2 cars cause there were 7 of us.

in Chem's car which was driven by Yung, there were 4 of us (Yue, Dot, Chem, and of course... Yung)

in Joseph's car was Sab, Leonard and Joseph.

we left KL after church, so by the time we reached there, our tummies were SCREAMING for food! :P

Lunch Time: we had porridge and fried wanton! ooh.. YUMMY!
but the porridge did leave us rather thirsty tho...

Yung had a plan that after each meal, we'd go for FRUITS! cause he doesnt want us to get constipated. HEH!

so we walked to the nearest fruit stall available. but i think that's the only fruit stall.. cause i didnt see anymore along our journey.

poor joseph didnt have a partner... so we gals decided to take a pic with him la.. altho he isnt smiling... but i bet he was THRILLED! :P

ah hah! so here are the couples! Leonard+Sab, Yung+Chem, and the sumbang couple... Yue+Dot*! (we kinda have an identity crisis... cause i have short hair, yet i'm the "girl" :P)

*well.. Nick couldnt make it.. that's y i'm his ganti la.. (adds more to the crisis doesnt it? :P)

oh well! but we're the sweetest couple la.. cause we didnt sa-fah-cheong :P

after eating, we checked into our hotel- the GRAND Continental... heh! sounds very GRAND hoh?
sigh...

but at least they have a pool!
that's wat u think!
but dont they look happy here?

ever heard about not judging a book by its cover?

*gals thinking* do we really have to do this? the water tastes EEKY!

but i like this pic! :D

just in case u were wondering, i wasnt in the pool cause it slipped my ears that i was supposed to bring my swimming suit. well... good thing i didnt rite? if not where got pics?! :P

after everybody showered.. and i tried to steal a nap (cause i got headache :( ) we went to..
hehe! not very clear hoh the words... it's Jonker Walk :D

in less than 20 steps...

hehe! we saw this uncle selling carrot cake and pumpkin cake (the chinese ones)
we tried the pumpkin one.. and surprisingly, it was yummy! so we bought more :D
it's the 1st pitstop we made while we were jonker-walking la :P

Jo Lynn told me Jonker Gallery sells many nice long necklaces (something which i'm a sucker for *HINT* :P) the thing was... she didnt mention WHICH JONKER GALLERY it was!! cause there were at least 5 jonker galleries at Jonker Walk.. -.-

but finally we went in to 1 that looked like it.. didnt buy any necklaces tho.. cause i didnt spot any one that screamed my name :P
but we got this pic! :D
it would have been nice if it was clearer -.- but i still like it :D

as we came out, i saw this hole thru the wall...

hehe! dont know if it's for walking thru.. cause it's quite small.. it didnt seem comfortable to walk thru la.. but i just had to do it :P
this is me fav pic arrangement! :D
we had popiah for our 2nd makan pitstop :P

i like this pic toO! it looks like 3 crazy gals are posing for the camera.. and a passerby (Leonard) is just wondering wat's wrong with gals these days! teehee!

pitstop no.3! EM! this is the place where we had the Nyonya laksa last time.. but we didnt have laksa this time tho... cause we were SCHEDULED (by our tour director.. hehe.. cheh wah! Yung) for laksa the next morning.
so we had the cendol instead! sigh... the durian cendol was YUMMY!! and i LOVE the gula melaka!! YUM YUM YUM!!!

after dessert, more walking and MORE food! :P

pitstop #4! (i didnt even realise we made that many stops until now :P) we had Instant Dim Sum! hehe! not very nice tho.. it was quite hard.. but i shouldn't compare with those served in restaurants :P

the art of Multiplication... (guess wat's the similarity we share)

hint: first there were two... then there were 5! teehee! dont u love me Sab? :P
hehe! more couple shots :P

:D SCB returns so Malacca!

with an addition of course! hehe!

this Chem ar.. 1st she was so excited about taking a pic being in the hole on the wall.. (malacca ppl must have some fettish for holes.. 1st there was a hole thru the wall on the walkway... now there's this hole in the wall! :S anyways!) now that she got into the wall.. she looks upset.. hehe!

hehe! and that was the end of our day! =)

we didnt take much pics this time cause our goal was to eat AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! hehe! as seen in the title :P
