A random thing tonight.

I still cannot find enough joy and strength to write the goodbye post for the Sha family. 

My husband says the only way to heal with time, is to go through with it. So, I guess no matter how hard it is for me, I will go back to attending life-groups and look forward to going to church. It's so hard because I know I will cry because they won't be there. I won't get my weekly hugs from Sha Lynn and Daryl. 

But I have to just go through it. 

Like how I did when Vanessa left home. 

I can do it again this time, though it may take a longer time. 

Also, what is with the weather these days? I am constantly searching for "affordable" winter holiday destinations to go with my family, but when I think about the fact that we need to multiply 4, I just close the Skyscanner app and forget it. 

If anything, we need to travel this year because Adam is still free. Heh. 

Counting down to September for the most precious holiday together. 

I also just found out that my Youtube channel has 102 subscribers already, like what? Where did these people come from? Hah. It started with 11 people. Sorry my 102 friends, I have no inspirations for the next video, so just stay tuned la ya. 

Actually got! Upcoming video will be my review about the Shin Ramyun and Jayfai's collaboration instant noodles! I want to see if it's worth the hype and money. Heh. Coming real soon. 

Okay, time for me to leave my laptop and go sleep with the toddlers. Adam is already asleep in the room by himself. Such a good boy. 

Okay bye now. 

Oh, and happy birthday Sasa! :)

I Updated My Resume, Now What?

Our kids sleep at 8PM because there is nothing much to do at home and we (Adrian and I) need to squeeze in time for each other, right after they sleep. 

Oftentimes, we find ourselves not being able to because he has to continue working, and I usually fall asleep with the kids. So, we hardly talk sometimes. So sad I know. 

But we now have a new thing where we started spending time with each other on the bed when both kids are drinking their milk and slowly going into dreamworld. We would be lying down with them in the darkroom, and start talking and sharing our day and stuff. 

Last night was one of the nights where our conversation was somehow steered to a serious-life-changing-kind where we discussed things like future plans and whatnots. 

The kind of conversation where it makes you think hard and talk hard with each other. 

The realization is that as much as I enjoyed staying home spending 24/7 with my children, I cannot deny that I miss a part of me that only exists when I am at work (whether in the office or working remotely). 

It felt like I was losing something in me - be it some sort of passion or drive or motivation (if you know what I mean) and after sharing that with Adrian, he completely agrees. Something changed in me. Something seems a bit off. Hah. 

So, we re-visit the idea of me going back to work and we continued to wonder if that is the right thing to do, because I really love spending time with Alex and Sofia. I definitely would want to find something that allows me to work from home (flexible to go into the office anytime). 

I do like to work in the office, but I need the flexibility to work elsewhere. 

It was such a great conversation with Adrian that night. I felt relieved and we had gin & tonic after that. Hah. 

The next morning, I updated my resume. 

Till next time. 

Getting the Right Laptop!

 Why is it such a difficult decision to make when it comes to getting the 'right' laptop? 

We have talked about getting a new one after I officially resigned from HTT and until now, we are not ready to cross that bridge. We don't know which one to get! 

We wanted to get a tablet - I love (so love) the Microsoft Surface Go 2 (with red everything) but a friend shared that it is not worth the money. So, I am now back to square one. 

My mind was pretty fixed with Microsoft but after that review, I need to not go there anymore. Adrian tried to convince me to get Huawei (like his) - but the way they placed their webcam, umm I cannot. 

Huawei is definitely out. 

Apple laptops are out too - because they are ridiculously expensive and I don't need such a fancy laptop. I love how nice they look though. A for that. 

I am either for Dell or HP - because I have used both and loved using both. 

I was leaning towards Dell Inspiron 14 (2-in1) where they have touch screens and adjustable screens but Adrian said touch screens laptops are not very good. So, now I am back to the box - of no decisions made. 

So, if you are reading this, and have similar criteria like mine, and have made a very 'worth your money' purchase on a laptop, please share with this girl. I do not want to buy the 'wrong' laptop. 

Must-have criteria:

• Lightweight (have to be able to carry out when with kids)
• Preferably 14-inch screen size or smaller (don't want too big)
• Budget not more than RM2,500 (below RM2,000 even better)
• Backlit keyboard (because sometimes I have to work in the dark, so I need the keyboard lights)

I even googled 'Best Laptop for Moms' but I gave up going through the list after 2-minutes. All the comparisons between the processors etc. I cannot. 

I am currently using Adrian's old laptop and to be honest, it can still be used but there are 2 things that made us sort of want to replace it with a new one. First, its' sound system is a gone case so no watching movies or listening to Spotify, or trying to edit more videos (boo), and second, its battery is also a gone case so that means I have to always connect it with the power supply. 

And that is an issue because, with 2 kids at home, I have to be able to work anywhere (anytime), and not having to connect my laptop 24/7 is crucial. 

So, please help a friend out. Which laptop have you used before that is not super fancy? I just need a laptop for normal everyday use, and I don't want laptops that lag too please thank you. Or are there any laptops that I should avoid buying - also very important. 

Thank you in advance! :)

Till next time, bye now. 

Goodbye WhatTwoEatHere!

So, we have decided to bid farewell to our food-blog of which has been inactive for one year (I think). 

We started WhatTwoEatHere because back when we were still not married, we both enjoyed eating, and doing reviews on them makes so much sense and it was fun. 

Well, we still enjoy eating but now with two kids to handle, there is just no priority whatsoever to take photos at all. We usually just dig right in. 

But shutting it down brings a certain kind of sadness to me because of all the hard work there leh - all those words and photos. We decided not to continue paying for its domain (.com) and return it to .blogspot.com which is still absolutely fine. 

There are 170 posts on WhatTwoEatHere, but we will no longer be posting food reviews there, because it is a lot easier (and practical) to do all kinds of reviews here, since this is my main place. 

Moving forward, we will do our food reviews here - those that we can stop and take photos of before we jump right into eating it of course. Again, we are not food experts but we know what we like and what we don't. We don't represent everyone, but I would like to think that our tastebuds are same-same but quite different so some of you may be able to relate. 

Like, you like it but your other half does not like it. 

Trust us, we've been there, done that. 

Maybe for the sake of the many years with WhatTwoEatHere, here are some facts. 

• The idea to start a food-blog together happened when we were having lunch at Kampar Fish Jelly Restaurant at Sungai Nibong.
• Yes, our first post was on Kampar Fish Jelly. 
• We started on 22 February 2012. 
• Many of you did not know this, but I wrote every post - yes 170 posts, but the "He says" was written by Adrian himself - using his own words and style. 
• Some posts were sponsored by the restaurants but most of them were on our own. 
• We did not say good things because we were paid to review their food - it was all honest opinions. 
• We were once invited to a hotel to do their food reviews but we had thought that it was on their buffet line so we went ahead and ate their buffet foods - then, they started bringing out their special 'Raya' meals. We were of course a little embarrassed and so full after that. In our defense, they should have communicated clearer on what they wanted us to review, instead, they left us seating there waiting, and we were hungry. Hah. 
• Le Roy helped us with our "logo" and we even made name cards to give out - shameless us. Hah.
• Few months after launching the food-blog, Hooi San helped created a cartoon us. 
• We even printed a WhatTwoEatHere banner - we were so into the food-blogger idea. Hah. 
• Most of the food photos that we took were from my iPhone and some with Sony's camera.

So yeah, watch out for this space for more yummy food reviews and travel stories (hopefully) and maybe some other babies-related posts. 

Thank you for staying with us all this while and reading our nonsense. Hah. Hope you are entertained and you get the information that you need. 

Till next time, bye now. 

Goodbye 2020.

Last day of the Year 2020 - the year no one is actually celebrating 100% because of the pandemic and lockdowns and the fear that looms in the air because Covid-19 is so spreadable. Hah. 

Never thought that I would experience a legit country/city lockdown in my life because of a virus. I remembered feeling anxious when it first happened but after that, it sort of became the new norm and we went to flow with it. 

Now, we are pro in the new norm although, to be honest, I still hate every part of it. Having to split tables when we go out to dine sucks big time - like I super hate it la okay. 

Anyway, since it is the last day of the craziest year, I thought I would like just say something here - but now my mind is quite blank. Heh. 

One thing that I am sure about is I want to bid farewell to the Year 2020 with the biggest gratefulness I have in me. It was not pretty and it was all messy and sad and scary - but I want to be thankful for everything that has happened. 

I feel like emotions were everywhere and I struggled on the second part of the year trying to figure out our moving forward plans and while I actually did resign from my job, I was given an offer to stay but with a more flexible role (with major salary adjustment of course) so I can actually focus on my two kids. 

I realized that if I don't give up my job to spend this precious time with them, I will regret it when they grow up. I can always go back to work once they are all grown up but I can never have them at this age anymore. So, I choose them - always will. 

Also thankful that Adrian is supportive of this decision because, without him, I would never be able to do it. I mean hello - he must be able to support me mentally and financially what. Hah. If not, where am I gonna find the money to feed myself heh. 

But on a serious note, this new flexible role also gives me time and space to focus on my Shop.com business and I am loving it. I realized that I love selling things - that work of course. 

We recently launched and started selling Momzay's Chocolate Chip Khoo-Kies and we managed to sell a total of 156 bottles - mom was surely busy and happy. So, thank you all for supporting our Khoo-Kies! More to come next time! 

We are currently working on our next item (hint: they are not Khoo-Kies!) heh - so stay tuned! 

Anyway, I am still in a place where I am trying to find the right "schedule" that works for me and my kids - in terms of our 8AM-6PM daily routine. I still have to go to the office twice a week for half-day and I have been trying to add "gym-time" too because I have lost weight with TLS 30-Days Program and I want to maintain a lifestyle that works in long term for myself. 

I will be posting on the before and after soon - after completing the 30 Days TLS Program and I'm so happy to say that I didn't think I would see the result but photos never lie okay. 

I hope by mid-January, I will sort of get everything in place and get a hang of the new schedule and stuff. 

So, I guess this is it for twenty-twenty. 

See you in 2021. 

Do You Want to Earn Extra Income?

I started taking these Isotonix when I was having a bit of difficulty in my pregnancy with Sofia, and ever since then, I have been a big user of these Isotonix. Read more her please before you continue reading more. 

It was recommended to me by my sister so I was pretty sure it will work since she is not gonna just sell me nonsense right. I trust her completely. But I also had a little bit of doubt about whether it will really work. 

Of course, time will tell and time did tell! 

It worked and now, my husband who is not a big fan of "these" things (in the beginning) even encouraged me to take the leap and turn this "shopping" into a business opportunity. Since I am already consuming these products and believed in the goodness of it all, I should also start earning side income from it. 

With that said, I finally caved in and joined and now, I am a business owner! Woooohoo! 

How exciting does that sound hah! 

Anyways, I have started to spend more time getting to know more about these products and it is so exciting because I feel like now our cabinets are going to be filled with the real good stuff and I can get rid of that other stuff that never helped. 

For your information, when I was having so many episodes of indigestion, I went to ENO and Gavisconn for help but it did not work at all! Hence, I became so desperate and decided to get from my sister this Isotonix Digestive. 

Now, I only take them when I have like super heavy dinner or when I feel super bloated. 

Okay so no more blabbing about these crazy effective products la, please. 

I just want to let you know that if you are interested to earn side income (of course you must believe in the products la ya because if you don't then what is the point?), please message me and I will tell you how it works. 

If you don't want to earn side income because you got too much money already (donate some to me please), but want to try on some of these life-changing Isotonix, please also message me so I can tell you more. 

Do not worry if I am gonna cheat you okay. I cannot even cheat my own husband! Everything also he had to like see proof wan - but so glad that he is now on the same boat as me. Heh. 

He is not part of this because he has too much money liau (kidding!). But really, because he wants to support me la. It feels great to "own" an online business thing actually. 

So for now, if you are thinking about it, you can click on THIS and earn points as you shop on this website (that works like Shopback) where you earn points every time you shop online. Amazing Graze and Watsons are in there too! So much win because my top 2 favorite online shopping heh. 

Ohhh before I go, I am also going to try on cosmetic products called Motives. Cannot wait for my box to arrive! 

Till next time, bye now. 

Everything In Between.

I am back!

Okay, I have never left la so there is no coming back la. But I did sort of abandoned this space ever since the arrival of Alex. Guilty as charged please.

I still do find blogging very therapeutic but the lazy bug has gotten to me and I kinda let it stay. Heh. Or when I do have free time and got the oomph to blog, I usually (always) prefer to take a nap or watch Suits on Netflix. It's super addictive I tell you.

Anyways, here are some photos of what's been happening since February till now, sort of. So, really just everything in between. So much happened and I felt like I haven't even gotten off the roller-coaster yet. It's on a stagnant phase now - the cooling off period. Heh. From having the most expensive dim sum ever to a family photoshoot and seeing our little boy grow. He is nine months plus now.

I do, really do need a getaway.

When am I never needing one, right?

Photos are in random orders.

I have also been really interested in cooking, particularly western kind of food because way easier. Hah. And if anyone can grab Chrissy Teigen's cookbook, please let me know because I am dying to get one! And her pots and pans too!

I've enjoyed cooking so much that I try to cook something new every week - which is not realistic at all because every week sure got something on and cannot find the time to prep and cook one. So, it's been more like once every two weeks kinda thing.

Mister Koay loves it so I am earning the wife points correctly. And he does all the washing after so yay to me. Will be sharing the recipes and what I tried here soon. There's a few already. Hopefully lazy bug isn't here to visit again.

Till next time.

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019!

Oh how else would I describe my 2018 if it's not LIFE-CHANGING?

Everything (I really do mean everything) changed the moment my belly was cut open and a human came out screaming - good because its a strong sign that he is healthy and alive.

2018 was one of the year where I (we) made huge life-changing (again) decisions. Some of which are, resigning as an Intern Pastor and decided to go back to my previous company as Corporate Sales Executive at Holiday Tours & Travel (first day next week) and where we see ourselves living for the next 5 years or so. Actually, only 2 really major life-changing decisions la. Heh.

So, when we got married, I moved to Adrian's place happily but of course I needed some time to adjust. We had that discussion of whether we want to move out or not and things like that. It was a hard topic okay.

I am already used to living at the current place but I've always preferred to live in an apartment or a flat even. It's not so much of the size of the house but the location. Okay, not location also. More like whether it's like on ground floor or like on multi-leveled building.

I never liked living on the ground floor for very common reasons like, it's not so safe and more mosquitoes and etc. The list goes on and on.

So, when we were preparing for the arrival of Alex, I was 80% convinced in my head that I really want to move to a place that has a view or at least at the first floor and above. and to just start anew with this new addition you know. Of course financially, it means having to sell off this house because the houses in Penang are ridiculously expensive. Even if you earn like RM10k a month, you also have to think triple times before committing yourself to buying a property on the island. And for us, that was just the option.

But Adrian would not be able to let go of this house.

He basically grew up and spent all his life in this place and that's why it's a difficult topic of discussion. It's really tough.

But when Alex came in May, we had this discussion again and I find myself becoming less interested in moving out. I began to see why Adrian wants to continue living here. I would see him telling and showing Alex (although Alex understands nothing at that point) of all the childhood things he had experienced at the garden in front and all.

Then, I got to see how Alex is being loved (so much) by our neighbors and they would spend at least 5-minutes everyday (if we don't oversleep that is) just walking him outside our house in the morning and teaching him about flowers and stuff.

And I got to thinking.

If we were to move to another place, Alex will most likely not be able to experience these interactions anymore. People these days prefer to stay in their house and mind their own business right? I mean, if I live in a condo, I would most likely just spend most of my time in my house. Ain't nobody got the time to go mingle with neighbors. Hah.

But here?

These people have known Adrian and his entire family for almost 30-years. And now, they got to see and hold the once-a-little-most-mischievous-boy's son. They've seen how Adrian grew up and now they got to see his son's too.

And I think, that's just something worth sacrificing for.

So, we decided that we would continue to live here till when both of us feels that the time is up, which if you ask me honestly, the time to move out will never be up for him, and that's okay.

For me, it was a huge change in making this decision.

Before, I was very sure that I wanted (and needed) to move to a new place (can be an old house but just somewhere new) when Alex comes. Or at least be active in looking for houses.

The latest house that we went to see was the Middleton, just behind Raffel Tower.

WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PLACE IMMEDIATELY.

But it was at least RM1.4 million. Umm. Okay thanks bye. Chapter close. Heh.

So yeah, 2019 is going to be an exciting year because we have so many things planned and yes, that includes holidays and maybe another mini Koay? Hah!

Feeling energized for the next three-hundred and sixty-four days!

I hope your 2018 was a memorable one and that your 2019 will be a smashing one.

Till then, bye now. 

Malaysia's Public Holidays in 2019!

You are all welcome! :)

Goodbye Last Year, Hello This Year!

2017 is by far the most happening year for me.

Also, it is a year where I didn't blog 'that much'. It's not like I have forgotten about it, definitely not. If anything, blogging keeps me sane - sort of.

It helps me to relax.

So, that's why my only resolution this year is to blog and document as many events as I can here.

But seriously, who am I kidding?

With so many things that's going to happen, this cannot be my only resolution, and since I will have too many resolutions and probably not going to fulfill all of them, I might as well not have any resolutions this year. Heh.

Kong ka liau.

Anyways, 2017 has been a real ride for both Adrian and myself. I cannot say much on behalf of him since I still have got so much to learn about this spontaneous man everyday. We've only been married for a year plus so yeah.

God has been good throughout my life, and 2017 is not an exception.

We may have lost a baby earlier last year, but we have gained a deeper intimacy with each other and a small part of understanding what it meant when we vowed 'through good times and bad'. I have never allowed myself to weep and be completely fragile and weak in front of another human until we lost Little Dot and found myself vulnerable in the arms of the man that I truly love.

Of course, not long after that, we found out that we are expecting again - oh the emotional ride it had taken us just within that few months heh.

You would think that being pregnant few months after losing one would help emotionally, but I tell you that's not true. In fact, I find myself being a little more emotional (could be the hormones) thinking about Little Dot while carrying this one inside.

It does not make it any easier, but it is certainly not the kind of sadness where it paralyses you okay. It's the kind that empowers you even more, makes you a stronger being.

I also left my 4-years job with a great company and joined the church. With that being said, I also did not travel to as many places as I would like to, but that's okay. Koay would disagree because we did visit Australia for about 2-weeks. Heh. Oh how I miss Melbourne, Sydney and Brissy already.

Maybe this year, we can visit Perth and Tasmania - ahem ahem. Hah. And maybe Japan.

What a life-changing year right.

Now that 2017 has been great and is in the past now, I look forward to what this year is going to bring. So far, being pregnant has been comfortable (except for the ongoing flu) and I would not have it other way.

We have less than 6 months before tiny human comes and our life changes again. We appreciate every date-night we can get now although that's a bit difficult now since he has been on a very intensive floorball training to prepare for the upcoming Floorball World Championship thingy.

That also means less than a month till I get to travel to Jeju - babymoon yas!

This is also going to be the year I no longer get to celebrate being in the twenties - boo. Age is just a number anyways heh.

OH OH AND WE CAN FINALLY SAY GOODBYE TO DIGI FOR GOOOOD! Adrian's contract with them ends on 31 December 2017 so I cannot wait till we can change to Maxis and we can happily surf the net in the comfort of our own home. Yasss.

I guess I'm going to be signing off now since Daryl is taking his first nap of the day, I think I shall to.

I hope everyone's 2018 is going to be kicking-backside kind.

Till then, bye now. 

My 2017's Birthday Wishlist.

This year is my last year of celebrating being in the twenties (boohoo). Now, you know my real age, fine.

I decided that since next year I will "welcome" the number 3, it's my birthday everyday for the rest of 2017. Heh. So, means I can still have my wishlist and wish that at least one of them will come true. Hah. Nothing is impossible.

And guess what?

Because of ShopBack, I realized that it's more realistic and hopeful now to dream of owning all these items. I mean to owning it. Not dream.

Discounts on top of discounts ah. Please. I don't know why you should not go via ShopBack. MORE DISCOUNTS WHY YOU ALL DON'T WANT!

I have blogged about what ShopBack is and how you can also benefit from it here, and no, you don't have to like pay a membership fee to enjoy the extra discounts. All you need to do is register and set up an account. Then, everytime you want to do online shopping, go to ShopBack first and from there, click on your favorite online shopping brands! 

It is that easy to get your extra discounts! 

Okay, wait. Before I begin on the top 5 items that made it to my wishlist, let me just say this to my husband.

"This is not a "hint" that I'm indirectly dropping for you okay? It's part of the contest that I'm taking, hoping that I will get selected and then win one of the wishlist below. If I want you to buy something from me, don't worry, I will tell you straight. Hah. Love you. Okay bye."

Here goes.

1. iPhone 6/6s/7

This is a no-brainer for those who follow me on Insta-story or Snapchat. Not too long ago, my iPhone 5s dropped and went crazy. I managed to get it fixed but according to the pro, this phone can only last this long. This long means it will go crazy anytime again. And if that happens, no need to send for fixing already. Can straight bury it 6-feet under. Heh.

So yes, I definitely need a new iPhone and I don't mind settling for a 6 or 6s because money is difficult to be earned. 

On top of the discounts that is given by Lazada, I can get extra 1.5% off when I click through ShopBack.

Oh yes please to more money-savings. 

2. Winter Coat

You know that feeling that you have or that thing you tell yourself that when you grow up, you want to own a certain kind of things. 

When I was growing up, I have always wanted to own at least a luggage bag, the kind that you push around and not the carry type. Thanks to Groupon, I managed to own a set of 3 pieces for less than RM300. 

Yeah, it's not of great qualities kind of luggages but I did own it at the end. 

Then, there's this. 

A winter coat. Not any kind but this kind. 

Coldwear - Wool Blend Double Breasted Cocoon Coat (Black)

Thanks to ShopBack, my dream can actually come true or at least it won't be such an impossible dream anymore. 

I saw this on Zalora's website and they are selling it at RM 747! 

BUT GUESS WHAT! I just had to go to Zalora's website via ShopBack, and I can get 3% cashback. That's the kind of extra discounts I like pleaseeee. 

That's savings of RM22.41 (can show this to Koay and tell him that ShopBack is really a no-brainer!) I don't understand why people won't go through ShopBack when it's so easy and you get more discounts. 

Anyways, this is part of the wishlist because I am going to OZ Land in two months' time and I would love to have this before I go! 

3. Refrigerator

Ever since we got married, our house became a party/gathering house and with so many mouths to feed on a weekly basis, I would love to get a new fridge that is slightly bigger and higher so that we can store more drinks and food and mini ice-creams. 

The struggle is really real I tell you. 

I would say that if its just the three of us (husband, myself and mom in law), the current fridge is sufficient but I think that mom-in-law would love to have a bigger fridge because she loves to cook and she cooks amazing food! And we love having humans over for dinner, movie-nights and just for hanging out sessions. 

Quite unbelievable that this made it to the top 5 in my 2017's wishlist seriously. 

I found a few that I think would fit in our kitchen and guess what? 

That's right. With ShopBack, more discounts! For my case, 1.5% because I'm an existing customer of Lazada already! 

:)

4. Hotel stay

So, we were discussing on some of the destinations (locally) that we can cuti-cuti Malaysia to in December with the Koays and Malacca was one of the idea. 

Mom in law had only been there once and I have been many many times and loved that city to the core. It's like my second home. 

No decisions were made but I would think that most likely it would be Malacca because husband is also quite keen on it. 

Satay celup and chicken rice ball, come on! Never say no to that okay. 

Holiday means must stay at a place that is super comfy and super affordable also. Heh. 

With ShopBack of course (there she goes again), I get extra 6% off the total bill (per night stay). OH YES PLEASE.

I've got my eyes on The Pines Melaka (just saying!). Heh. 

5. Heels from Christy Ng

This one is a typical girl's dream of having a pair of branded heels. I'm not the girliest-girl but I still have my fair share of going goo-goo-gaa-gaa on heels too. 

One thing I really like about Christy Ng is that you can design your own shoes (heels or flats or any kind) and have them done for you at a price. 

Of course, with ShopBack, you get 8% discounts, which I feel is quite a big discount. 

I tried designing my own and that already costs me RM480. With ShopBack, I save RM38.40! Winnnn!

No, this is not the shoe I designed. I cannot save the image so I went and googled a navy blue heels. Heh. 

So yeah, that's my take on the top 5 items that made it to my wishlist this year. It will be nice to have all these before I turn three-zero. Hah. 

Before I sign off, here's some information that I want you guys to know:

• Different brands have different level of cashback and some differs according to the type of products you choose. 
• Of course you will enjoy a higher cashback when you are a new customer.
• Sign up by clicking on this link, and you will automatically get RM10 in your account. 
• I am a big fan of ShopBack because it makes me feel less guilty when I online shop whole day. 
• Koay is the biggest fan because he online shops more than me and I am guessing that his ShopBack account is showing a lot more $$$ than me. 
• This post is blogged because I am participating in a contest organized by ShopBack in conjunction of their 2nd Birthday on the 22nd February!
• If I win, I get to choose 1 item from the list (capped at RM800) from ShopBack! 
• Please help me if you love me. Heh.
• You can share my post or just start using ShopBack via my link, I guess.
• Even if you don't, it's okay because I really like ShopBack and I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I do. 
• No regrets :)

Till then, bye now. 

Heaviest Me.

This is a sad post. 

Because I am a sad person today. 

Okay, more like yesterday but today only got time to post. Heh. 

I have about six more months to my one and only wedding and guess what I found out. 

TAKE A GUESS!

THE NUMBERS IN MY KG!

I tell you, it's absolutely ridiculous you know. 

This is by far my heaviest moment of my entire decades of life.

It's very chun-timing that I dug out a twenty cents coin from my purse near a weighing machine last night. Of course I inserted that coin into the machine, took out my flats and went on it like a boss. 

The number appeared within 2 seconds and I swallowed my saliva so many times trying hard not to believe what I just saw. 

Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a little lot here but I have only six months. SIX!

You will not understand it but it's too short of a time to do anything. Hah. Not really lah. Still got time but I just really never want to go through this phase. 

So, what numbers came out?

Serious very chun-timing i tell you. 

49.5 kg. 

0.5 kg from hitting 50 kg. 

You know how mad that is? 

I have never NEVER gotten so high before so this is insane. I am indeed getting too comfortable with eating and not working out. This has got to stop. 

All my life, I have always been on the 45 kg range and went down to about 40 kg when I had my surgery. Since then, the range has gone up to 47 kg-ish and that I could take lah I guess. 

Now that it's 49.5 kg, FORGET IT!

No more so much fried stuff all. As painful as I feel right now having to sacrifice all of those, I think it's going to be worth it because I DO NOT WANT TO HATE LOOKING AT MYSELF ON MY WEDDING DAY. 

Of course for sure got cheat days here and there. Heh. For now, I don't feel like I wanna have cheat days yet. Last night I had salad for dinner. Today, I had mango and avacado salad for lunch and a hard boiled egg for teatime. I feel okay so far. Hah. 

I have also officially started my workout session alone at night using an exercise app called Seven. So far so good. Of course good lah cos I just started doing it last night. Heh. 

MUST CONTINUE TO BE MOTIVATED. 

Do you know Muthu has been hitting the gym everyday after work for weeks now? I'm going to follow his footsteps. No money to join gym nvm. Use app can already. 

I CAN DO THIS. 

LET'S DO THIS. 

Childhood Chick.

So, I have been wanting to share about so many things and sometimes that's not really an easy thing to do because it's just too many.

So since I've got the photos with me now, I thought might as well share about my growing up years. Right till when I hit the rebellious years of my life. Heh.

Turning old is gold okay. 

Keeps telling myself that. Hah.

Oh well, let's just enjoy these photos shall we.

I don't have a lot so yeah.

Down the memory lane hah.

My one year old 'party'!

Last time straight teeth what then don't know what happened!

What hairstyle also got.

Give me your best guess! :)

So crazy to see these photos and realized how time is constantly moving. Now, I'm a young adult with a career and doing things that I absolutely love, being surrounded with lots of people be it friends or strangers waiting to be friends and loving life right now.

Sure being a baby is super nice since no worries of the future and what to eat next and what to wear tomorrow et cetera, but being an adult is similarly amazing. Making memories of things that matters and things that are silly. 

Let's not forget the fun part of making own decisions on the big issues. That part. Heh. 

Feeling all gooey inside about growing up because my car is in the workshop for the seven hundredth time and this time its going to be costing a bomb. I can only smile and remember what its like being an adult. Painful to bear but it will pass. Afterall, money will still come. Its' not like I will lose my job the next day or whatsoever.

Okay, now I'm just mumbling. No idea what I'm saying already. 

With Love.

One more spontaneous night with Muthu.

Right after dinner, he went inside my room for a while and came out to the dining area and..

"Okay, this is what we gonna do tonight. We gonna clean your room!"

"No we're not. Don't be crazy lah. Ain't nobody got time to clean room now lah"

"Yes we are. You don't need rest lah. Everyday also want to rest"

"What you mean clean the room?"

"Everything except the cupboard"

"Errr, okay.." *looking super reluctant*

"I will clean for you and you do whatever I ask you to do, okay?"

"I don't think I have a choice yes?"

*walks into my room and starts throwing everything out*

This is prolly one of the sweetest thing he has ever done in our almost-3-years relationship. He always claims that he's not the romantic type and he doesn't believe in spending money on fine dining etc. What he fails to realize is that all the things he does is very romantic in its own ways already. 

Never in my wildest dream I've ever imagined that I'd be so blessed with someone like Muthu.

He loves cooking, washing dishes, do the laundry and clean the house. The only thing he hates is the ironing, which I love doing! Your perception of 'blessing' may be very different from mine but this? This is just one of the best blessing everrr.

It's a known fact that I'm a lazy person. I HATE DOING HOUSE CHORES. Maybe because I do them quite a lot when I was much younger, I think. Heh. And for him to LOVE doing all that is just superb! No arguments whatsoever of who should do or having roster or something. Heh. 

Last night, when he decided to clean my room, he knew what he was getting himself into. I only clean my room like once a year or something. I also must be like mentally prepared to do it and it's not like a last-minute kind of thing. So this one, I totally not prepared. 

While he takes everything out and wipes every corner, I sat on my bed, going through all the papers and 'treasures' to see if I want to keep them or not.

Then, I found this.

A decade ago, from Koko UY.

I miss you, UY. It's been ten years. 

Let me tell you of how I got my nickname 'Kutu' (It's supposed to be spelled as Khoo2). The person who started it was UY. He thought of it very randomly because I'm the second child in Khoo Family so one day he decided I shall be named Khoo2 then.

As time goes by, people just started spelling it as Kutu. Heh.

Crazy huh how time flies? I didn't even realized that it has been 10 years. It has always been nice to have an older brother, literally. He used to take me/us (sometimes with Judson and Daniel) to lunch after school and I remember having so much fun whenever he's around because he's just so.. so Eu Wye. Miss ya, Koko UY! :)

Anyways, I took quite a while to decide whether to throw some of the things or not and Muthu was very patient with me of course. 

Ohh! He also found a lot of hidden handbags so there goes my attempt trying to get myself another Sometime bag. The 'I don't have any other bags I can use' and 'My bags all spoil d' excuses are now invalid. Haha. Oh wellz.

He bought the lights sometime ago and now it's being put to good use. The photos all falling out. Ahhhh. Susah ni. 

Muthu, thank you for cleaning up my room. That was a lot of trash thrown out. Probably one quarter of the one quarter of my life or something. You even made my dad thanked you for doing it. Hah. You crazy fella. Okay bye.

Okay thanks for reading :)
