The Journey With Family.
It's a very rare occasion when mom is the one who suggested watching a movie in the cinema.
VERY RARE.
She doesn't like going to cinema in general. I think in one year, she probably goes like one or two times only.
So, this time she wanted to watch The Journey with the whole family and watching the movie in the cinema we did. The actual plan was with the Shas too, but because there were very limited and front seat tickets left for the evening show, we opted for the 10:20pm one and since we have got a baby who gets cranky after 10-11pm, the Shas did not join us this time. Boohoo.
So, we planned a whole evening with the Shas until our movie time. We had yummy choo-char for dinner. A peaceful one because now Sha Lynn knows how to sit quietly at her baby chair and munch on her apple favored soft cookies.
Then, we went back home and played mahjong. The parents didn't play because there were already five of us taking turns. The biggest loser have to swap of course. It's always nice playing mahjong for fun, especially with our next door neighbour :) Literally, door next to each other. Haha.
I remembered feeling so sleepy when the movie ended at 12:10am. Only hit the bed at 1:00am. Gahhh. I miss watching midnight movies but.. maybe now I prefer non-midnight ones. Hah.
Such a fun evening/night spent with them :)

Our super not healthy supper. I don't remember anytime that I don't buy food while watching a movie in the cinema. Always sure must have something to munch. Always.
Family is number two because God is number one.
God will forever be the center of our lives :)
Sneakily take a photo in the cinema, check.

Celebrate Love.
This time last year, we were not celebrating Valentine's Day. Actually, we never celebrate Valentine's Day. Just not our kind of thing. Why spend money on a day where most if not all restaurants hike up their price? Why buy gifts for each other when it's just a universal day where everyone celebrates love?
I think buying gifts for your other half when it's least expected is the best d. Haha.
Anyways, last year at the same time, we were all on CNY Convoy to houses. So, we kinda celebrated this love day with everyone :)
This year, so ngam ngam this love day falls on the same day as the last day of CNY, Chap Goh Meh. This year's last day doesn't feel very special. It doesn't make me wanna go Esplanade and join in the fun of throwing oranges into the sea. I only did it once last year and that was my first and would probably be last. I don't know.. It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. It was kinda hot and everyone that touches you as you walked past them leaves bits of their sweat with you too.
But it was very happening and bright and colorful. Quite an experience really.
To those who does celebrate Valentine's Day,

*He was finishing up the last piece of apom during dinner*
Me: Babe, leave some for me. I want to eat a bit of that. *points to the last piece of apom*
Him: Okay okay.
Me: *continues eating my dinner*
Him: *holds my portion of apom until I finish dinner and then handed it over*
Me: Whoaaa. Aww baby..

13 Randoms.
I am going to need a new set of TV series to watch soon, real soon. I'm already at Season 4 of Fringe.
Throughout the entire time of visiting people, I found out that there are only 2 houses that I went that serves winter-melon juice box drink. One is Shaun Teng's and another will be my own house. Winter-melon, best!
I enjoy parking at any yellow box now because no need to use the scratchies and no parking man. FREE PARKING IS NICE. Not after 15 Feb. Blehh.
Twenty one days to Korea. Three weeks. Ohhh. I can't wait!
I'm starting to love eating cheesecake and cheese tarts. One box of good yummy cheese tarts. 25 pieces. If you want to buy some, CALL/TEXT/FB/TWEET me! :)
Sha Lynn turning one in two months time. That's fasttt.
I've collected a total of 81 red packets this year. No doubt the most I have collected all of my years that I can remember.
Floorball Division One is starting this week. This only means our Saturdays are by default gone. Oh well, I'm excited to watch the games. Go fireBRANDS! :)
I'm starting to really like Kurt from Glee.
I spent about RM600++ on my car's aircond two months ago and whenever the car is not moving, it doesn't stay cold. So sad. It's very hard to earn money, and very easy to finish them all. Money is evil. Hah.
Some of the things that we love doing is having me stop by at his office during the day and have a glass of cold Chrysanthemum tea. Simple yet meaningful :)
"We are the champions, my friends.."
I just made a man-pedi appointment on the Feb 25th.

24 Hours of Being Officially 26.
I think I can say that this year's birthday is the simplest and the one that i enjoyed most by far. I realized now the more simple it is, the better. No, age is NOT catching up. That's NOT the reason obviously :)
He kept looking at his watch on the 9th Feb so that he will be the first one to wish me. Baby girl who was sleeping next to me was already sleeping soundly. The moment the clock hits 12:01am, I mentally tell myself, "That's it. You're now 26. No turning back man, no turning back!" Before I went to bed, he prayed a birthday prayer over me. The first 5 hours of being 26 was spent two times in between carrying Sha Lynn and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star until she falls asleep again.
The next eighteen hours..
So, if you have read the post where I mention about what koay got for me, you probably could figured out where he brought me on my special day.
TO THE BEACH! Okay, wait.. More like to the ROCK! I woke at 510am (partly because Sha Lynn was sleeping next to me and she was crying that time) and got myself ready. I asked him before why we needed to go so early for fishing. His reply was, "The fish all just wake up and they sure very hungry!"
First stop at 7am! Who drinks iced caramel macchiato early in the morning? WHO!?
Drove to the market to get our baits. Sardines and prawns.
Then, we parked and waited in the car for a while because it was too dark to go down still. While waiting, Koay prayed for me, us and the entire day. Then, it was time. TIME TO GET THOSE FISHES!
The rock that we were on for a good four hours! Big and strong :) It became my favorite place immediately.
The rock is so high up that it's so beautiful from up there. Beautiful and very dangerous! Hahaha. Threw in my first bait of the day and...
WALAA! That's less than a minute okay! Maybe he's right about the fishes waking up and feeling hungry! Heh.
He also got one almost immediately he threw them in. I'm not exaggerating! Seriously it was that fast!
One of the things I really love about fishing is getting the hook off the fish. It can feel pretty cruel but then again, people say fish don't feel pain eh. So yeah. Top left is the bait sardine. Then the right one is another one that I just caught :)
Total catch of the day: 13! We both caught one really big one each. He let go of his biggest catch because he didn't want to unhook it so he left the hook inside the fish. It's a poisonous one that's why. At least that's what he said la. Mine leh, when I got it, I was so happy, literally cheering loud and then the fish just slipped away while hanging on the rod that I was holding. I should have immediately put it down and get it into the bag. SHOULD HAVE! Gahhh. Nevermind, 13 is still very good. I caught most of it! *proud* Oh! Did I mention that he killed two black huge round bees becuase they were invading our romantic fishing getaway! Haha. He was just too scared of them la so best way is to face them and kill! Hahaha.
Thanks babe for the amazing start of the day. I love fishing now. Super love!
After fishing, we drove back home to get nice clean shower. Then, we went to Gurney for my birthday lunch. One thing I love about today is that he has everything planned out already. So, when I suggest something else, he's like, "Excuse me miss. Please follow the itinerary that I made."
It was so funny. We went to Nandos, because he just need to follow the footstep of Adnandos. The footballer who went to Nandos for his first date despite of the millions that he's making in playing football. So yeah. I love Nandos so no problem for me :)
After lunch, we bought yee sang from Sakae Sushi and headed home. It was such a torture to drive home. We were both trying our best to keep our eyes open. SO DIFFICULT! We were so sleepy. So so sleepy. The moment we got home, we washed our feet and that's it. I wanted to help my mom with steamboat preparation but no, can't do. TOOO TIRED. It must be because I only sleep for 2-3 hours the night before.
When my mom woke us up in the evening, it was time for our CNY reunion dinner/birthday dinner. Two in one bestnya!
Lots of photos me and people coming up. I have to take photos with mom's cake of course. IT'S THE BEST CHEESECAKE I'VE EVER TASTED! Not being bias at all! Have you guys even tasted the cheese tarts that she makes? Boy, you are all missing outt! Order through me! For sure you will love it!
Loving your hair, Koay :)
We ended the night with this. So I thought..
I was feeling pretty tired and my sister convinced me to go bathe. So I did. I also changed to my pajamas, and be at my most comfortable state.
Then..
They came in singing the birthday song.
TOTALLY NEVER EXPECTED IT! Earlier, I asked Koay if got surprises all because I wanna wear pajamas and all. He confidently said, "Of course don't have! You check my msg and see!"
So I believed him and nothing seem suspicious at all ma. I thought I'm quite good at revealing surprises all. Apparently not good enough. Haha.
Fun Fact 03: I only wear pajamas to sleep on special occasions.
Thanks guys for coming! Love you all :)
Also, thank you all to those who wished me in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, text messages and whatsapp! Thank you so much! You all made the day even better. Turning twenty six isn't as bad/miserable as I thought it would be. I hope I can say the same when three zero hits me.
Special thanks to Andrew for my second's Manchester United's jersey, Leroy and Eulene for the comfy blue sweater, and lastly, Adrian Koay for my first fishing rod! :)
It was a great 10th February!
"10 February 1988 is
both your happiest/proudest moment of life
because the best thing that ever happens in your life happened!"
So I told my parents last night.
:)

After 2 Weeks.
Baby girl reached Penang at 4:30am and we were all fast asleep. Mom woke up at about 7ish to wait for baby girl to come over. She was still sleeping of course. So we waited till about like 11am when my sister brought her over!
We were like soooo happy to finally see that familiar face again! Goshhh. We're all too attached to her. Seriously too attached!
So glad she's finally home. Although that 2 weeks was good holiday and resting time for my mom.
My life is back to normal again :)
