Not The Age Please.

I wanted to post a quick and short one about how we spent the night before his birthday together but I'm so tired now I can't even pull myself up from the floor to go shower.

Please don't be the age catching up that's why I get tired easily these days. PLEASE.

Anyways, one more minute till midnight!

BLESSED BIRTHDAY ADRIAN KOAY!

MH17.

While in the ferry heading back to office from Prai, I took the time I had to read on the updates of MH17. 

As I read more about the tragedy and see photos of friends and families, unknowingly my cheeks got wet.

I don't even know anyone on board. 

I tried imagining if my family or my friends were on board, how my emotions would be and more tears came down. My heart felt weird. 

So, it is impossible to understand how extremely difficult it is to get this kind of news and having to live with it forever, especially when it's your loved ones. Unless you have gone through something similar. 

One family that made me cry even more is this man travelling with his 3 grandchildren were on board and was killed. All three of them were below 12 years old. How do you accept this? How?

Locals at the scene mentioned that they saw things falling down from the sky and some were humans. Some had no clothes on because it was burned off and some had very little left on them. Another man said he walked around the scene and he would see one infant just lying there. It's horrific. IT'S ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. 

How does people recover from this trauma? How..

The man next to my car were probably wondering why I kept wiping my tears. 

After a while, I stopped reading. 

I prayed for a while.

For peace. For comfort.

Rest in peace, passengers and crew of MH17. You will forever be remembered. 

Families and friends, hang in there. Sleep and eat because you'll need all the energy to live a day at a time. 

Two People Eat Together.

After Koay told me about the invitation to Eastin Hotel for a food review next week, I spent some time last night thinking about how far we've come. How WhatTwoEatHere has grown and how we have gotten to know each other better along that road. 

It felt like it was just yesterday that we had our meal at Kampar Fish Jelly when this idea was birthed. 

I knew I wanted to do mainly because it was going to be the two of us. I like the idea of getting to go eat anywhere with him alongside. 

I mean if I were to be a solo food-blogger, it wouldn't be fun because I would be invited ALONE, but for us, all invitations are always addressed to Adrian and Sarah. I love that idea of seeing our name together in the invitation emails/letters. Even when friends invite for a wedding dinner although it doesn't happen as often as I would like it to be. Usually not enough seats so only one can go. Hah. 

Anyways, I don't really see it as me being the clingy type of girlfriend. Thank God he doesn't see me that way too. When it comes to our food-blog, we are on the same page. Other things, not so much but always workable.

Will WhatTwoEatHere earns enough money one day that I don't even have to work in office anymore? WHO KNOWS. 

That is definitely NOT our purpose at all when we decided to start this journey. 

WhatTwoEatHere is only our first beginning. I have no idea what else is in front of us for the future but we know for sure the Big Man is in control and any doors He open, we enter. 

Beach With Koay.

We didn't have anything specific planned for the Public Holiday (Nuzul Al-Quran) yesterday Tuesday and at first, it was driving me crazy because I just need to know what's going on and stuff. Of course I switched that off and just decided to do something totally not planned and spontaneous or not do anything at all.

I had to send a set of documents to a client at Bayan Lepas area so I decided to drive and picked Koay up on the way. After sending the documents, we headed towards the airport to pick up my luggage. 

But before that, we stopped at the famous toast & egg coffee-shop on the road leading to the airport and have ourselves some light breakfast. I think we've tasted better ones and this one quite expensive. Just bread and half boiled eggs and a glass of iced coffee, it's about RM10.

Then, to the airport to pick the blue baby. So happy to see four wheels and no cracked areas. Things you buy with own money, you sure jaga elok-elok eh. Heh. Time to plan for the next holiday. Or maybe the next big one will be in December to Harvard?

We didn't want to go home straight and since we were already at that part of the island, I thought why not we go see the beach that we're going to be picnic-ing in less than two weeks' time. I don't exactly remember how to go but from few snapshots of my memories, we arrived! 

It was such a sight okay. Feels so good to be smelling the sea-sand smell. We walked around and I showed Koay of the place I used to come very often with my family. I showed him every area. Showing him a side of my childhood times. It was fun. 

If we brought along change of clothes, we would have both jumped into the waters. I CAN'T WAIT FOR RAYA TO COME! QUICKLY!

Then, he wanted to show me where he used to go with his friends for fishing. I tell you, this boy is the biggest fan of fishing. Okay maybe not the biggest but definitely a big one. 

We drove to the end of the road where there is no more road. He pointed at a lorong and so chun two bikes drove in and he got all excited and said, "There! There! SEE! SEE! That's how we went in. Then after that must hike for 10 minutes sumore. The place is very secluded ehh!"

He was super excited.

We drove back slowly while exchanging more childhood stories. I got to know my boyfriend a little more that day. It was nice. 

Although Gertak Sanggul is very far but I think it became one of our favorite beach. Knowing us, we probably won't visit it as often as we would like it to be. Petrol very expensive nowadays. Hah.

Dear Brain.

You need to stop.

You need to rest.

No more planning ahead.

Live in the current.

No need to plan what to eat next.

Just go with the flow.

Please go rest.

Please.

Stupid Ants.

THE ANTS ON MY WORK TABLE AND IN MY KEYBOARD IS DRIVING ME INSANE!

I just wiped and cleaned my table and the keyboard. 

Now they are here again!

WHERE DO THEY EVEN COME FROM!

*pulls hair*

BE GONE!!!

Random Again.

What a lazy afternoon it has been. We just came back from teatime snack at Johor Road with Sha Lynn. 

Less than seven days to another quick getaway. It's going to be Thailand again. Wheeee.

Whether it's truly the lemon water or not, my shorts seems to have gotten bigger.

My goldii charges really fast I hope it's not just because it's still new. Please be like this forever!

I need to clean my room. Re-organize everything. 

My luggage is still stranded in the airport.

Koay prefers to eat western food at Mizi than Japanese wagyu beef at Miraku Restaurant for his birthday. 

There are ants on my table and in my keyboard. I don't even eat in my room. No one is allowed to. What are they even here for? 

I just ordered online for a slim casing of Snow White holding the apple. It looks so good in image I hope in real life even better.

Just realized how empty my bed is. I only have a blanket, a pillow and a smaller pillow to hug.

My passport is going to expire in March 2015. Next time I renew, it's going to be for 5 years straight.

I've been replaying 'Close' by Hillsongs Young and Free for like 10 million times.
