HISTORY TO BE MADE!

Any minutes now.

First time voter and it's the dirtiest, most cunning, twisted election ever in this nation. 

Dinner also, cook maggi mee only because Dominos, McDonald's line all busy and KFC have the longest queue ever.. 

RESULTS NEED TO COME OUT SOON! WE ARE GETTING EXCITED!

On another note, triple yay to PUBLIC HOLIDAY TOMORROW. I want Malaysia to be a safe place with no curfew whatsoever because this is a peaceful country. Let's keep to that!

May 5th, 2013. History IS in the making!

Panorama.

INI KALILAH!

UBAH!

Fourteen Days Old.

First time making her sleep in my arms after fifteen minutes of playing and goofing around with her.

Employee-No-Work-Day.

My first time ever celebrating Labor day. Well, obviously because I just started "working" last year August. And I obviously must make sure I really enjoyed this mid-week-one-day-only-off-day to the max.

So, we planned out a roadtrip out of Penang and not all the way to Ipoh since that's a bit too far for 11 of us. We decided to have seafood feast at Pulau Aman and lepak at places around the area, sort of.

What made my holiday even better was the call I got from Koay on Tuesday while at work. The call that makes me smile almost instantly.

Me: Hiii! Yes babe?
Koay: Babe ah, want to go Hard Rock Hotel tonight?
Me: Hah, for what hah?
Koay: I just got a free 3D2N stay there but must stay tonight d.
Me: WHATT? Seriouslyy?
Koay: Seriouslah!
Me: Ons ka lu ahh! :)

Yeah, a friend of ours couldn't stay there so he decided to give it to Koay. We invited Jack and Carmen for some mini slumber party that night and we didn't sleep till it was like 330am! Actually, that's because we checked in very late, like around 11pm. The room is amazing. Flat screen TV, bed that fit the four of us perfectly and huge living area where the table and a couch is. Oh oh and the view from the balcony, absolutely breathtaking. It's directly on top of the main pool area (as you can see in my Instagram)

We slept for like four hours only then we went down for breakfast. Love having breakfast in hotels. It just makes you feel like you're on a real holiday somewhere far away. This actually brings back memory of my Club Med holiday. Ahhh. Okay, so after having some yogurt and croissants and nasi lemak and scramble eggs, we went for a walk by the beach. It's been a while since we dip our feet in the salted water. It was a quick and fun dip. I could use a longer one though. Hah. The sea was surprisingly very very calm that morning.

Anyways, we were awake so early as we needed to meet up with the rest to start on our roadtrip. That also we were late. Hah.

We then went to the "Peaceful Island" in three cars. Total of eleven humans. We used Waze of course. I will not comment on the food that we ate because it will all be featured HERE. It's our food blog! Please like us on our Facebook which you can find on the right side of this blog! :)

Just in case you didn't know, Google AdSense has approved us and we are now in their team! Happy because we're finally accepted and recognized (sort of). Google AdSense is known for being very strict with lots of rules that you must follow and some expectations that your blog must live up to. So, for our food blog to be able to have that, it's just another accomplishment and a reason to celebrate (I'm thinking of Japanese cuisine..)

After lunch, we were heading to Penang Bird Park. Yep, the plan was to experience this bird park thingy since Taiping Zoo is too far to go at that time. And according to Nic, the entrance fee is RM0.00! Zero! BUT WE WENT THERE AND IT'S RM18 PER HEAD! Hahaha. To cut the story short, we ended up hanging out at Sunway Carnival Mall. Koay bought two pillows since there were big sale happening. Then, we had Raja Uda Tomyam before heading back to the island by ferry.

Kena guna boat pi sana, bro. Only RM6 two ways. Batu Musang Jetty - Pulau Aman.

Missing from photos: Andrew and Justin.

This one's for you, Sharon :)

One of the things that we enjoyed being food bloggers are getting to know people and building our network. Koay is gifted in that. Everyone, please meet the man. The PR Director of WhatTwoEatHere with the man that sells the fresh seafood at Pulau Aman.

The only shot that all of is are in. Don't mind the a bit cacated part on Justin's face.

Ended the day with a surprise for the lil sister who celebrates 18th years of life today. A great surprise that was. HER FACE when she opened her room door and all the siau kias shouted! Special thanks to everyone who made it happen and my parents for making her go into their room while the rest sneaked into her bedroom.

Me: Vanessa, you go bathe first!

Koay: *walks around the house*

Vanessa: *wonders why is Koay walking around*

Me: He a bit lost. He wants to go home d. He wants to call his mom la cos his hp died. *I was just trying to make excuses why he's walking around aimlessly*

Vanessa: *opens toilet door* *checks handphone* *open room door*

Siau Kias: SURPRISEEEEE!

 Ahh, the best Labor Day because it's the first and definitely not gonna be last. Every Labor Day shall be productive and fun like that.

The Walking Dead (asian style)

Who will die first? Who will survive?

*inside joke*

Two Noobs Go Spa.

About a month or so ago, we decided to help Andrew make a video. A video on L.O.V.E. and death and proposal and stuff. I still remember when he first asked me through Facebook, I said no immediately and then he continued saying that he needs us because we are already a couple. So, I went to ask Koay and suprisingly he said, "OK!" without thinking deeply. Haha. I was a bit reluctant cos I do not act or want to be in video shooting stuff. I'm more like a watch-the-video-kind. Well, Koay is also like that but he mentioned to me that it would be a new adventure that we get to explore and do it together. And afterall, it's not really acting because we are really together.

So yeah.. we did the video and crossing our fingers that we would win first place or at least top three, so that we would get the spa and *coughs*MYBLACKBERRY*coughs*

BUT NO. WE DID NOT WIN. WE DID NOT LOSE EITHER.

THEY STRAIGHT CANCEL THE WHOLE CONTEST!
There goes my hope of getting the Blackberry from Andrew. Gah..

Yeap, after all participating members submit their videos and they just gave them this.

JUST A SPA FOR TWO.

Can you believe it? Andrew then emailed them to let them know how disappointed and they cannot do this and bla bla. They just replied, "Sorry for any inconvenience caused!" It's like WHAT? Poor Andrew. He was very into this whole shoot and spent quite a lot of moolahs in it. So, when Andrew got this spa thing, he didn't want to go so he gave it to both of us! Nah, ANDREW CHAN WEI KIN! Here's your credit! Hahaha! THANK YOUUU! :)

The voucher also hold terbalik. We were looking forward to the massage after a long working week.

Anyways, after Koay reminded me, we made an appointment on Saturday noon and I went googling to see what was included in this package worth RM660.

Ultimate Spa Packages (2 hours)

- 45mins massage (done by two Filipino women)
- Body Scrub/ Body Mask (did not manage to see the product used)
- Jacuzzi with European Herbal Bath (I cannot believe they actually say EUROPEAN HERBAL BATH! Hello, we saw a bottle of Tesco Body Shampoo or something okay. Green color and looked like a dishwashing soap!)
- Footbath (Definitely nothing near a bath! Just put in hot water for few minutes and scrub here and there..)

We were supposed to be completely nude for the massage and jacuzzi dipping. But no thanks. So, we asked them for towels. Haha. This kind of spa is perfect for married couples. NOT US for sure! Anyways, we sat in the jacuzzi for a good 40 minutes WITH TOWELS, sipping away carbonated papaya juice (yuck much!) and talked and laughed and relaxed. The massage was okay. We went home feeling hmm.. feeling that our body was gonna ache the next day. And true enough when we woke up next day, manyak sakit.

Will we go back there for this kind of spa?

Nope. Totally not worth the money.

RM330 per person.

Take that money go Hatyai for shopping and full body massage and eat non-stop better.

And that was our Saturday noon. Quite fun experiencing new things like that together. And we love love love love LOVE their garden themed restaurant. *grins*

Make Him Up.

I downloaded a new app last night and tried it on Koay. Boy, we laughed so hard!

Okay, maybe he didn't really laugh as hard as I did. But it was just so funny when I tested it on him or more to his photo! IT WAS REALLY FUNNY! Such pretty girl he could turn out to be! :) Only thing missing would be the long hair..

This app is just so fun to play with la. Apparently it's one of the Top Free in the Play Store. Well, that's how I found this app anyways, while searching for the "Hardest Game Ever!"

My favorite one would be the last photo! He looked gorgeous with eyeliner! :)

I hope this makes your day and shoo away the Monday blues!

:)

Second Love Letter.

Hello everyone!

I've decided to post about my love letter number two on a Sunday because I skipped captain ball with youth and rested at home instead. So while I wait for Koay to come home from his usual football friendly, I shall post this up!

I got my first letter not too long ago is you do not know. You can read it here!

Same reason but different place.. Hah. 

Gala Event Tonight.

I have never felt so relieved when being asked to stay in office the whole day today. No need to drive around and sweat..

I can't wait for tonight's Family Night by the fireBRANDS.

It'll be crazy packed with so much fun and laughters.

:)

see you all there :)

Our Lil Angel: Sha Lynn.

Sha Lynn. (yep, that's her full name in case you are wondering)

Adventist Hospital, Penang.

19th April 2013.

Here goes the story of how we welcomed our lil girl into our world.

Mommy Sha was admitted into hospital on Thursday, but Sha Lynn only decided to come out the next day early in the morning. I wouldn't call it natural birth as she was scheduled to "bring" her out a week earlier than the supposed due date. So, we were in the hospital on Thursday night, waiting and hoping that it will happen soon!

Still can smile with the pretty flowers and three floating balloons. No pain yet ma :)

And of course, still can fool around with the camera :)

And yes, she pushed till Sha Lynn came out! Good teamwork! So, the next day they went into the delievery room early in the morning around 7-ish and baby came out soon after that! However, when Sha Lynn came out, she seemed like she was not really breathing on her own. She did not really cry and stuff like that. So, they brought her into NICU and there, they put on an oxigen tube to her nose and also a small long tube into her tummy through her mouth.

After a day in the NICU with all those tubes, doctor took out the oxigen tube to allow herself breathe on her own and observed her very closely. That was the first time we saw her opened her eyes. Actually, I'm not sure if it's "we". For me, for sure it was my first time. Not in person though. I saw them through pictures. Heh.

After another day, all tubes removed. TRIPLE YAY! If you see closely, you can see a lot of tubes. She even have IV drips on her hand. So heartbreaking to see lil Sha Lynn having to go through all that! But God is good and she got better very quickly! Thanks to all of you who prayed for her and mommy!

After few days only, Mommy gets to hold baby for the first time. Such great moment that was!

Hungry baby searching for milk already..

I could stare at her whole day as she sleep. No kidding! Adorable is an understatement, for sure!

Me: *keeps on repeating* Sha Lynn, wake up! Ee ee is here to play with you. Sha Lynn.. Sha Lynn..

Her: *as per photo above*

Good thing she didn't cry after that. If not, I sure kena marah by the mommy. Haha. Sha Lynn, you have to cooperate with Ee ee okayy!

So now, baby and mommy are both resting in the hospital. They went back yesterday as baby has jaundice that's abit too high. I stayed a night at the hospital with mommy sha and woke up with a very very stiff neck (No, I'm not complaining.. Just saying..).

She's almost a week's old and I can't wait to run around the house with her already. She definitely melts all our hearts away. Stole all our attention too! My mom once forgot to cook lunch for us because she totally forgot about us! Hahaha. Grandma sudah naik pangkat, very happy d! :)

So yeah, I haven't been active in blogging because it's been an amazing packed one week with Sha Lynn being our main focus and going for a rehearsal for our family night that's happening tomorrow! Ahhh! Excited! :D

Till then, everyone :)

SPEAKING KOREAN 101

This made my day.

Deh-Buk!

:)

Too Busy.

Wow. It's been so many days since I last blogged. last week has been insane because we (my whole family) knew that Sha Lynn is going to come out that week itself. So, it's like everyone's so excited and definitely more so for my sister and brother in law. IT'S CRAZY!

And also, not to mention that Koay is in KL now for his interview..

I will blog more on Sha Lynn next time when I have more photos, or you can actually see them on my Instagram.

For now, this photo shall make you guys go "Awww.."

LOOK AT THOSE CHEEEEKS!

:)

Wardrobe Sudden.

All of a sudden, just all of a sudden the need/want/motivation to clean my wardrobe kicks in and I find myself doing that last night. Took more than half of clothes/dresses/shorts out and never gonna put them back in.

I also suddenly have the urge to organize my hanging clothes according to colors but that didn't really work out well. Haha. And I have more darker clothes than other colors. Black and brown.. Suprisingly green is the least. Now I know what color to buy next time..

Love waking up this morning to a neat and clean wardrobe for sure.

:)

The Walking Dead.

So, after loving Pretty Little Liars so much and finish with their Season 3, I have decided to move on to another famous TV series. This one is equally good and love it as much as PLL. Though both also very different kind of series.

As I keep watching it, I'm starting to be like, "Okay, we need to prepare a room that's of metal and keep lots of food in case this happens.." and stuff like that. So funny la. Obviously I know it's not! Oh the fun of imagining things like that.

If you haven't watch this one, GO WATCH IT NOW! TWO THUMBS UP!
