OK! Camer(a)on!!

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

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

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!! =)
