.it's official

Hello readers (if any of you are still following my blog, that is),

I would like to take this opportunity to announce my marriage to SF.
Yep, after being together for 9 years and 11 months!

Everything is still the same I guess, except that we now have that official piece of paper in our drawer. :)

I am one happy bride I tell ya! I got myself a lovely MTM dress on my recent trip home to Malaysia for a really good price.
And I met an inspiring florist here in Melbourne who created my bouquet as well as the man's boutonnière!
I have to say that these are the nicest bouquet-boutonnière combo I have ever seen. Hehe.

Anyway, it's all done. My parents got a new son; my siblings got a new brother; I got a new set of parents and siblings.
Most importantly, I now have a husband and I am someone's wife.

On an unrelated note, we have just gone through our engagement photo session a little over a week ago with a really fun-loving photographer who couldn't stop cracking us up the whole time! Will share links to the photos when they are ready! :)


Dress: Sweet Princess Boutique Wedding
Flowers: Botanics Melbourne

.the Big "E"

I'm the luckiest girl in the world!!! :)

.it'll be over soon

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. – Dr. Seuss

.all-time low

There are times when I feel so positive and would keep telling myself that everything will be fine, all I need is time.. But there are also times when I feel an all-time low – I just don't want certain things to change, even if it is the best solution.

I don't want to get into too much details about what's happening, but I really hope this big change won't have too much of an impact on me in the end.. I am still hoping to see light in the tunnel some day.

I guess it's up to me now – I'm the only person who can help myself stand up again. How am I actually going to do it? I don't know..

I seriously hope that all I need is time, and that things will get better soon.



On a random note, I actually didn't realize that daylight savings came back again today until noon.

.torn between two OS's

Android or iOS?

I started to fall in love with the Samsung Galaxy Note after watching Rooftop Prince about a month ago. The big screen and stylus is just so useful – it's something that an iPhone doesn't have.

And SF owns a HTC Sensation XL – screen is pretty big, which makes me jealous sometimes! >___<

But I really love everything about the iOS – it's just so intuitive and easy to use and not to mention, the interface is so pretty! : 3

And I find that the Android interface takes a while to get used to – not a big deal, considering that I will get used to it eventually.

But I love my iPhone's music play list – everything is just there! (yea yea I know it's the same with Android but... iPhone's play list.. IS JUST THERE, there's is no need to search like hell for a particular song.)

Ahhhh... What do I dooooo? I can't just sign for a Note 2 (when it comes out) and then get an iPhone 5 if I end up disliking the Android interface..

Call me fussy, but I love the fact that I could use, and view emoji, on Instagram – and I am a heavy-duty Instagram user.

And iPhone 4s' camera is great – I haven't been carrying another camera out since I got the phone.. I wonder how the Note 2's camera is! :)

Oh, and I heard there are heaps of free apps on Android as compared to iOS. That's quite handy to know..

A bunch of people around me, including my not-very-tech-savvy sister, have recently swopped their iPhones for an Android phone – from HTC's all the way to Sony Xperia's, and they haven't looked back since. I wonder if I will cope just as well as them. My sister actually claimed that Android is a whole lot easier to use than iOS! O_O

....I am so confused! I guess I should muck around with SF's HTC a bit more, just to see if I could get the hang of the Android interface.

.the new sleep pattern

I am still pretty awake, despite waking up at 7.25am this morning.

Well, I guess this is a "change-for-the-better", since I used to sleep in till at least 10.30am...!

Ever since SF started this new job, he has to wake up early so he could catch the train and get to work on time.. This has somehow affected my sleep pattern too.

First week was pretty bad, I was groggy and sleepy and unhappy for the whole week.

Second week got better, although I was still a little unimpressed with having to wake up so early.

Third week was neutral, no complaints there.

And this is the fourth week of sleeping and waking up early. Somehow, this feels pretty normal.. And I have also picked up a new habit of eating breakfast.

I find that I could do so much more by waking up early.. Oh and not to mention, time seem to slow down a little too, which is just what I need considering the BIG amount of work I have to do (sigh).

Oh well, it's back to work now... Although I wish I could be given a little more appreciation for the effort I am putting in.

.9 years together

The honeymoon period is long gone but there is an increase in "chemistry" on a daily basis.
