Hi guys!
Its the weekend again and I betcha that everyone (like, me..ahem) is in high spirits!
I absolutely loveeee lazing around the house.. and watching telly drinking tea!
:D

Yesterday I had a fan-ta-bulous time spending the day with my better half.
We walked hand in hand, gazed at window displays and had a small intimate dinner looking at the sea.
The night ended sweet, -literally with a durian cake and ice-cream on a brownie.
:)

Then we got home and the boy was hungry again so I had to cook instant noodles with eggs and meatballs from the fridge.
And while he risked food poisoning eating supper made from his undomesticated girlfriend, Jungle Boy polished off every single bit becoz he knew it was made sincerely from the heart.

Yes... MSG or no MSG.

My Saturday was fun.
How was yours?
:D

Today I have to work already!
Will be back soon, I hope.
Then I need to take some time to reply all the tags.
Thank you for being patient with me, Love y'all.

God bless.

Hi guys!
Hey hey.. how was ur weekend?
:)

OMG I couldnt believe how little I slept and then it was back to work work and more work.
Im sorry for not replying tags as much as I would like.. coz I had barely enuff winks for now.

Yesterday Jungle Boy, me and his lao ah-pek friend drove up to Rompin, Malaysia for a day becoz he wanted to go fishing!
And yes.. my boyfriend decided to act smart and eat snake.
Talk about beating the Monday blues, huh!

But dun tell people hor.. coz no one in the office knew what he was up to.
:p

We slept napped for 1 and a half hours before setting off at bloody 3am to drive pass the causeway.
And into this kampong area.. ROMPIN, MALAYSIA!



Eh, but do u know that Rompin is actually very famous for its fishing spot?
Jungle Boy has been there a million times, but this is the first for me.

I had never wanted to put myself in a place where there were practically zilch women and everyone knew what a tackle hook is.
But alas.. for love I went.

The love of eating fresh fishes, I mean!
Heehe.

And oh.. eating fresh kampong chicken eggs, no kidding.



Luckily Im quite a tomboy at heart.. coz if the food hygiene people came I dunno how they going to rate chickens roaming around food preparation places.

Or bugs on the chairs and no one blinks an eye.
Or bottles on the floor, but there are not rubbish - mind u, they have mosquito coils attached to them becoz obviously flies and mosquitoes have quite a free range here.

Smokers would have a field day here also becoz not only can u smoke ANYWHERE u like, u can throw ur ash and cigarette butt anyhow too.
The only reason that will stop u from throwing it on the floor is becoz later the kampong chicken will think its food and try to eat it, laa.
But not that I saw the people there care, haha.

All these and Jungle Boy tells me its one of the cleanest places for fishing.
Really.

But anyhows.. we ate breakfast and started our fishing journey at 8am sharp!


Love the sea.



I would always look at the great big ocean and wonder how is it like to live in the waters.

It reminds me of the times when I was young and would watch The Little Mermaid and be fascinated about living in the sea.
Maybe thats the reason why I love swimming so much.. I would secretly wish to be a mermaid and swim all day long with my friends, - fishes and sharks and lobsters and sotongs.

That is why I find it pretty ironic that Ariel would give up everything to have legs and be a human being when all I wanna do is to be in the waters.
Guess the grass is always greener on the other side, yes?
:)

p.s
Wanna know how I look like without an inch of makeup?
Alittle ghost-like, but Jungle Boy likes it when I dun apply all the UIC paint on my face.
Of coz if I could walk around without makeup I would - but its not Halloween everyday u noe!

Hehee.
Dun say I never say.
(If the sight of me makeupless scares u then u better not scroll down anymore.)



They made me hold the rod and it scared the shit outta me!



But it was GREAT FUN!!!
The sailfish was extremely strong and it fought for ages..
I just hold for awhile and my arms were aching already.



And for sailfishes like the one in the pic, we fish them and throw them back into the water.
Yes.. u heard me right.

Jungle Boy and his friends will drive up for hours, book a small boat, get all smelly and dirty just to fight fish, catch them and throw them back into the water.
*sweat*

But we keep fishes like grouper and sotongs.

Anyways on my own.. I caught a sotong!!
Happy.



Jungle Boy made me pose for the camera!
But I was very scared!!!
Cannot tell right?



We proceeded to do this all day long.

Fish, catch and throw back.
Repeat for at least 10 times.

But we caught small fishes and brought it back to Singapore.
We also had like 8 sotongs?
So now I everyday got sotong to eat.



Okies.. got to go down and eat my sotong now for dinner!
Jungle Mummy cook~
Yummy.. then later going to eat ice-cream with Jungle Boy becoz he owes me one.

He said I would get seasick but I didnt!!!
Im a tough lil' cookie.
:)

Bye girls.. Love all.
God bless.

Hi guys!
Im back from the mall and Im really really really turning into a bloody housewife I swear.
I bought detergent and another MOP!

Refusing to budge, I stood in the middle of all the cleaning brands studiously examining the prices, ingredients and wat-not as if my life depended on it.

I wasnt even so serious when I took my exams back in school.
Is age catching up with me???
:(

Oh ya!
Do u wanna see pics from my dearest Lyana's wedding at Novotel, Clarke Quay last week?
It was such a smash.

I missed my girlies and although it was a short meet-up, I do treasure my time with them.
:)

Lyana and me!



Us at the cocktail reception before dinner.



The very beginning.
Can u make out the wedding favours at the top right-hand corner?

The couple had cleverly chosen a bottle opener (for all the beer drinkers I presume) and a pink embroidered mirror for the ladies!



I wore my pink pink dress (pink is love.) and I put a flower in my hair that night.
Dunno where the flower came from though.. I think it was from one of my tops.
Ha!
I pretty much took a black pin and kiamp the thing in my head.



I loved how the train looked from behind.
Absolutely smitten.



And I did like the food!
I thought the fish was pretty fresh too, but I normally dun eat much at weddings becoz got image to maintain mah..(as if!)



The bride and groom on the stage.



Cam-whoring alittle.
I lurve my BFF!
And I miss the rest of my BFFs ...too long never kena suan by them, - I feel abit itchy leh.
:p



The second march-in.
The prawns in shaoxing wine were fabulous!
So fresh somemore.
Yums.



Taking another picture with my loves.



And ahem.. another.



My dearest Karen and me.


Towards the end of the wedding.



We chatted and talked about weddings.
Im so excited and Im most glad to say that the next wedding we are going to attend is of my BFF's!
But then Im going to have another big headache wondering what to wear and what shoes to go in.
Which girl doesnt love dressing up?
I know I do!
:)



Darling Lyana had changed into a red kwa towards the end and was definitely the star of the lovely evening.
I wish the newlyweds all the happiness in the world and may they hold each other's hands until their hair turn grey and faces all wrinkly!
:p



Before I go pick up Jungle Boy at the airport.. here's a quick look at my hair!
It was rather impromptu but a pretty great look that my auntie hairstylist had done.
Loose curls pinned to the side and huge volume at the top.



Got to go babes!
I wish everyone love and peace.. its amazingly fast coming to the end of another year isnt it?

As I grow older I tend to cherish everyone around me more becoz I know that the world doesnt just evolve around Jungle Boy and me.
If u think I look younger n younger, I guess its becoz I dun sweat the small stuff now!
Stress is such a killer.

Now I just relax and take things as it is.

If I wanna buy something, I just buy.
If I wanna go somewhere, I pretty much just take off.

Life is about slowing down and appreciating everything and everyone around us.
Take time to listen to the birds chirping in the morning and u will be pleasantly surprised what a good start it might be to your hectic day.
:D
