Upgrading works in the process

Hi everyone, I will be changing the outlook of my blog.

Please bear with me for the time being :)

Redang Trip 2009

We went to the very beautiful beach, Redang (Malaysia) over the last weekend. It was a quick getaway for TTS and myself since we have not go for any holidays this year. Redang is located near the northeast coast of Peninsular Malaysia. There are multiple ways to get there but we took one of the longest and inexpensive to get there.If you have guessed it correctly, we took a coach to Merang jetty and it took us a long 9 hours ride!! We could have taken a plane there which is only 45 mins, but the timing of the flight would require us to take 1 more day of A/L. Well since we are planning for our honeymoon this year, every A/L is so precious to us.

We took off from Golden Mile tower at 10pm on wednesday night and reach the jetty only at 7++ the next morning.The journey there didn't felt that long coz we were sleeping most of of the time, only stop by at a kiosk during midnight.When we reach there, we meet up with tts's friend (Alex and Tina), have our breakfast and took the 1 hour boat ride to the island.The waters near the front part of island wasn't that fanstatics, but the one on the other side is so beautiful...

Shortly after we reached the resort, we went out to a small island for snorkelling. The water is so clear, you can see what's in the sea literally! Then we got the resort guys to take pictures for us underwater. One of them took the pictures for us and the other one have to push us all the way down underwater. It's quite an experience actually coz we have to pose for the camera and hold our breathe at the same time.

There wasn't a lot of activities on the island, after the snorkelling trip we went back for archery and then back to the hotel room to rest. At night, we dined at the hotel restaurant coz the meal is already included in the package. Then we went for a walk around the coast line before heading back to the hotel for some card game. Oh we saw a really HUGE lizard there! I believe this is one of the biggest lizard I have seen in my entire life, the size is about that of a miniature Iguana! (I swear, check out the picture!)

On the second day of the trip, we went for snorkelling again as it will cost us RM900 to go for diving which is quite expensive for our budget. This time round we went to another small island, the water here is even better plus The skyline looks so beautiful! (Don't you wish you are there now? :D)

By afternoon when we got back to Redang, we went to the sea again (*Hahahaa* it's all sea but nothing else) So we decided to entertain ourself by taking some more photos. I tried my best not to show the "mini michelin" on my body...:P

I took quite a couple of shots for TTS and his friends, you got to check out the one below!! (I guarantee it will brighten up your day!) :D

Did you know that there was a hongkong movie shot in Redang in 1999? The show starred Sammi cheng and Richie Ren and it called "Mo Mo Tea" Actually I never heard of it until we saw the "Mo Mo Tea house" there. They actually rebuilt the house in year 2003, 4 years after the movie was shot. There's no movie stars now but the house served as a small gift shop which sell daily necessity items and souvenirs.

On the 3rd day, we will need to make our way back to singapore. Well it's kinda short for a holiday but I think it's good enough for me already! I had so much sun tanning when I was there, so I was worried people might mistaken me as a malay when I'm back here :P *Thank god no one said so!" I will definitely recommend Redang to my friends, it's such a beautiful place except that take a plane there next time! The bus ride is certainly way too long for me :(

Brother short trip in Singapore

My brother came back from perth for a short trip recently. It has been a couple of months since we last saw him. Not much changes in him except that I find him looking more mature this time round.Don't get me wrong, (Bro: i'm not saying you look older) It's just that you look more like an adult than I ever see you before.

As this was a short trip, we only have time to bring him to the new shopping mall, ION! Yes, ION is one of the newest shopping centre in town. The place looks really huge and every boutique seems way too expensive for us.Any stores from first level onwards are those high end ones, so we find ourself walking around the basement more than the other floors.But since we are there, we might as well check out the biggest Louis Vuitton store in S.E.A. The store looks really magnificent and HUGE! It makes me wonder how much rental are they paying monthly...hmmm....SGD 1 million maybe??)

Then we took some time to walk around the building, BMW MINI was having a roadroad there. I always think that MINI is expensive for it's size (though i never sat in one before). But come to think of it, if I do have the money, I think i will just go for Mercedes Benz since it has higher resale value...*hahah*. The truth is I can't afford one, so some pictures will just be good enough for me :D

Yo! You looking way too cool for the car lah!!

This is the only replica of the old mini in Singapore! Be gentle on it, Bro!

Hopefully my brother come back soon and we can go on another family (shopping) trip :D

Goodbye...my dearest ah ma...

Wen wedding shoot

Wen, TTS's sister, is getting married this november :) We went for the family photo shoot in J.B. 2 weekends back. She looks so pretty and sweet in her wedding gown. Ahhh...reminds me of my wedding last year...

If only I can wear the gown, go through the shoot and looking all beautiful again. *hehehe*

*Ah Tan*, I won't mind if you intend to propose to me again (just that I get to choose what you are going to propose with this time) :D

TTS trying to look cool..??

Is it the shirt or the curtain??

Just for laughs : The other day TTS was wearing the polo-T he bought for CNY, and he was just standing in the room with our new curtains :D Well I saw some similarities here...what about you guys?

Nasty Evil woman.....

It's been more than a week since ah ma admitted to hospital. The doctors always came with negative feedbacks and recently her body temperature and blood pressure been fluctuating. The outlook doesn't look so good but I know ah ma has always been a very strong person. Although she can't speak or express her feelings now, I know she's been holding on to it. No matter what it takes, I'm always there for her.

Recently I met with the most evil woman in my entire life, she was being admitted for some intestine problems or whatever and she was just staying opposite ah ma. Because of the H1N1 flu, every patient is only allow up to 2 visitors or 3 visitors if the patient is listed as "dangerously ill condition". Ah ma is listed as someone with such condition and therefore we were allowed to see her even in non visiting hours. This stupid woman is jealous of ah ma because she got less visitors and I overheard her conversation with someone over the phone (god knows who is that!)

Stupid Woman : "No, they should allow you to come and visit me. The person opposite me got 4 visitors and I only got one"...... "Who cares if she's dying, if she's going to die, it should be in ICU and not in the ward!"

I was really very upset by what she said!!! We were standing right there and how can someone say something so bad!!! I couldn't take it and decided to walk out of the room. My uncle however did managed to say something nasty, but i didn't ask what he said exactly. This kind of person should go to hell someday!!!! Accordingly to my dad, she's a single lady....no wonder she's still unmarried until today (i believe she's about 50+)
