Goodbye 2015.

Today is the last day of 2015 and I thought it will be nice to do like a summary of the entire year like how I did for last year. 

Nah, I'm not going to do it. 

I'm too lazy and un-motivated.

Heh. 

Maybe I will do one in January, when things get exciting. Hm. 

Blessed New Year's Eve, humans. 

See you all next year :)

Soon.

I do miss this place a lot. 

Too much kind of a lot, but so many things are happening now that I cannot really find the time to sit down and blog. 

What I do know is that at the end of the day, God is still good. 

Yesterday, today and everyday of my life, God will always be a good God.

God's princess signing off. Yes, that's what my name really means :)

Koay's Love Language #11.

This week has been the busiest week for me and as much as I wanted it to be over as soon as possible, that also means I'll have to go through with it and survive. 

For him, it was one of those weeks where he can relax a bit but still he's always busy since he loves what he does so much. 

Job - 1, Fiance - 0.

Sometime this week, he made plans to go down to KL with a friend for more work-related matters under his annual leave mind you. So, that basically means that we will only see each other once for the next 14-days or so since I'll be leaving to camp soon. 

The timing was right on Wednesday when I will fly back to Penang from KL, and him, to KL from Penang, all on the same day. 

We made plans to meet up a while at the airport, just to have a glance on each other. Overly attached couple alert. Hah. 

I arrived at the airport and called him.

Me: Mister, where are you? I just landed.

Him: I'm here already. 

Me: I go upstairs Departure Hall meet you ah? You wait at McD or something lah. 

Him: No no. You just come out, can see me d.

Me: Ahh, okay okay. 

I walked out and did not see any Muthu at the domestic arrival hall. I called him again to check if he was at the right place. Serious. 

Once, we were supposed to meet at the hospital for something ( I cannot remember what). We agreed to meet at the canteen but after long calls and stuff, we realized we were both in a different hospital!

So yeah. 

Him: I didn't see you coming out also.

Me: What? I'm out like so out d okay. 

Him: OHHH! I was waiting at the International Arrival Hall! G!

Me: G!

His plan to 'receive' me failed but puts a big smile on my face that night. 

We had quick dinner at Airport's KFC and bid farewell. So drama alright. HAHA!

Wedding Update 3: Engagement Photoshoot.

I think planning a wedding is stressful. No wait. Who am I kidding? Planning a wedding is stressful. I don't think it is. It obviously is. We had the opportunity to plan our friend's wedding together recently and I felt that, that has given us a good platform to see things differently now. So yes, I do think that God works on a perfect timing :)

Despite the 'experience' that we had, there's nothing like planning own wedding. The stress level is brought up to 1,000 times more, and as much as people have already warned us about the 'confirm will argue phase', it didn't like make things easier also.

We still argue hard and loud. Heh. 

Two months into being engaged, we have so far confirmed the venues and got our dates blocked. DOUBLE YAY!

The other thing that is very important is getting the right people, the right team to be in charge of capturing all the lovely moments, both before and during the big day. Yes, I am obviously talking about photography. I hope we can afford to do videography but we will have to see about that later. Budget is the only subject I wish I don't have to talk about. Hah. 

Can you imagine my excitement when we have finally confirmed the team who will be doing on our pre-wedding photoshoot engagement?

THEY ARE THE BEST KIND.

They are called onemustardseed.

Some of my favorite shots from their FB page here.

They are based in OZ Land but guess what? No distance is too far for them to help you make your wedding the most meaningful day ever. 

I can't wait for the photoshoot already yeah. 

One less stress, yesssss!

When You Say Nothing At All - Arden Cho

I like this version, a lot. 

If not, it won't be here. Heh. 

That Coach Box.

There was this one day when my heart stopped for a mili-second. 

I had just came home, and after putting my bag on the dining chair, I walked straight to my room to remove the watch and ring, and to get ready for a warm shower. 

The first thing that caught my eye when I switched on the light was this.

Yes, at that moment, I straight terkejut gila. I have immediately jumped into the conclusion that both my parents had bought this and they decided to surprise me like that.

Okay, wait. I think many of you may not be able to see clearly of the box. Here's a closer look!

Since I know that they read my blog, where I mentioned about wanting to own this bag sometime ago but I definitely do not have the money to own one now. I HOPE THEY DO READ MY BLOG LA! THEY BETTER OKAY! Hah. 

Anyways, when I saw this, I literally just stopped breathing. My parents are always up with surprises when they buy something for us that we really want.

There was once when I wanted to own my own phone and I wanted one with like flip cover phone. So, I saved money but I could only afford a normal phone with no flip whatsoever. 

One morning I was still sleeping and all of them walked into my room and woke me up. When I opened my eyes, they passed me a box and when I had finally open it up, there it was. 

A BRAND NEW FLIP PHONE IN THE SOFTEST PINK EVER ALL THE WAY FROM OZ LAND.


So, I thought this was a similar experience and boy, I am not complaining at all! Heh. 

So when the perfect-not-dented-box was laid on my pile of clothes, I had my 'OH MY GOODNESS' moment. 

I even held the box up to make sure it's not an empty box and it was heavy. Not like super heavy or what but there's weight on it.

I stood there for a while, with my heart racing oh so fast punyalah F1 driving style.

Then.

I opened it up slowly.

GUESS WHAT WAS INSIDE.

Sorry no photos because I just totally forgot about taking photos after seeing its content.

Can you all just take a guess ah?

Come on. 

I give you all 1 try. 

I some more held my breath so long when I opened it. FUNNY LAH.

It was a box filled with mom's Christmas ornaments.

Yep. ORNAMENTS. WHAT COLOR ALSO GOT. ALL KINDS OF SHAPE PUN ADA.

I had the second longest 'WHATTTTTT' of my life in my room. 

Definition of putting hopes too high to only have it crushed to the floor. Heh. 

After that straight no mood for hot shower already. Quick shower got lah. Hah. Oh myyy. I guess that was the closest feeling I felt to owning this one. Heh. 

This is madness.

Anyways, yeah. I wonder how many of you actually experienced the same thing? Like the content is not what you want it to be and stuff. SO BAD RIGHT THE FEELING. 

When I think of it again, I confirm will laugh, like now. Oh myy. Dumb dumb me. 

Engagement Dinner For Two.

In the midst of all kinds of moments and seasons, one thing that helps me calm down (literally) is this: blogging.

It may be on random things like this one and this one and this one and this one. Just as long as I blog. So, it could be anything under the sun, moon and stars. 

Recently however, I've noticed that I've been posting a lot on the recent-status-change. Don't blame me okay. It is really a big moment for me, for us. Okaylah, don't know much on the impact for him but at least for me, it seems like everything changed. 

I think the very moment when he posted that YES! SHE SAID photo on Facebook and Instagram, his friends immediately already knew what they were going to do for his bachelor party. More like, where they wanna have his bachelor party. Hangover Part 4. GGDOTCOM liau.

Anyways, for me it was breathtaking. Yeah, I literally forgot to breathe that few seconds and every now and then. The thought of becoming someone's wife in less than a year scares me actually. Not in a really bad way. I don't know. 

I take marriage very seriously and I know once I'm in it, there's no way out. It's really going to be till death-do-us-part and I strongly do not agree with divorce under any circumstances at all. 

I guess because of that, I tend to want to talk about it a lot because I am super excited for it. If you're not excited for me, then you no good friend lah okay. KIDDING!

Anyways, we wanted to celebrate our engagement and remember that day when it happened but because money is something that we cannot simply spend and something that we don't really have (at the moment), we decided that we will not do it with both sides of family. We wouldn't want to celebrate big and pay for a dinner with money that we do not have. Heh. 

So, we decided to have a candle-light dinner together. No candles obviously because candle-light dinner is way too serious and quiet. Hah. I tell you ah we're so not the fine-dine kind of people la. 

It didn't take long for us both to decide where to dine because this place is a place where we always looked past it and will never stop and go in eat. BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE APPARENTLY.

And since this is an engagement dinner, we were like, "HOR EE LOK!"

Did you know that we actually postponed our dinner a few times already because both were not in the 'right mood'? WE TOTALLY DID. 

To know where we went for dinner, click sini pergi WhatTwoEatHere tengok. 

We decided to do it on a Monday because then the day started out to be exciting as we both will be thinking of the dinner so no blues. At least for me it wasn't blue. I don't think he ever has problems with Monday blues. He's too in love with the things he does. Hm. 

Anyway, we also made it a point to dress-up for this dinner because it's a big night okay. So, after work, changed into a dress and put on nice make-up and wore heels. Mood also was right so best giler ya. I think he saw that I wear so nice d then only he quickly change to another shirt in the car. Heh. 

He brought flowers before dinner. No, seriously he did. HOW ROMANTIC CAN.

He called for booking earlier and requested for a romantic corner and guess where they placed us? 

Right next to the window, which was perfect I guess except there was no view also. It basically sees the main road and carpark. Heh. But what other view do I need since I have my lover in front of me, right? HAH! GELI!

We dined and wined and talked about everything other than the wedding planning because that could end up in either two ways. 

One, we will end the topic realizing that there is a lot of work to do and bring to ourselves the extra stress that we don't want during dinner. 
Two, we will set the mood off because we will reach to yet another junction and both will 'argue' till we agree to disagree in the end, and boy you wouldn't want to be with us when we are at that junction because the debate is endless okay and loud. Hah.

So yes, no wedding talks. Just us and pointless topics. 

Then, after that we went to our potential-wedding-ceremony venue and walked around. It's so beautiful at night oh goodness. Too bad our wedding ceremony is going to be in the morning. Heh.

Oh right. At first, we didn't want to talk about the wedding right? So, we went to that place and still did not really talk about it. We just kinda stood there and looked at it and smiled. 

I think we both tried to imagine the whole ceremony in the back of our heads at that place. As much I want to reveal where that place is, Muthu suggested that we wait till we get confirmation on the venue then only reveal! Ahhh, the suspense I tell you. 

All I can say is the place is AMAZING, DREAMS-COME-TRUE-HERE, IT'S-OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD AND IT'S WHAT WE'VE IMAGINED OUR WEDDING TO BE AT.

Okay, I may have just increased all your expectations on this place and if it turns out not so great for some of you, the feelings sure horrible. Okay, you know what? JUST WAIT FOR THE REVEAL! COMING SOOOON! :)

After like 10 minutes there, it started drizzling and we decided to go home and rest. I took the longest shower while he plays with his Samsung (pfft, change to iPhone already please) and was in my most comfortable jammies. Oh my, nothing beats that. 

My hair all tied up, I have bedak on my face and we shared a bottle of Somersby, while watching Masterchef Australia. Well, I watched the Masterchef. He? He was watchin Youtube with his phone on funny videos or something. But still best kind of night. 

Four years ago, I would not have seen myself here to be with this weirdo. I do see both of us as best friends for life kind of thing but who would ever thought that we both would fall for each other. Yes, you obviously liked me first as much as you want to deny that, Koay. Heh. 

Now, I have about ten months before everyone starts calling me Mrs Koay, which by the way is so weird! I may correct them and ask to call me Sarah instead. Muahaha.

That's it on our engagement dinner that we had, and may we both continue to be as true/real to each other as we are now (except for digging nose in the car :P) with each other.

*raise wine glass* TO MAY MORE YEARS AHEAD OF US!
