A garden wedding..

Isn't the place just lovely!

Last weekend was a wedding weekend. I attended 2 very different weddings (a garden wedding and an Indian one) but let's start with this garden wedding at Kelana Jaya Plaza. It's an outdoor wedding set beside a lake. So, it wasn't really on a garden but the fresh flowers and the white chairs (which resembles white picket fence) made it 'garden-y' enough.

Sand ceremony

 I arrived kinda late and missed the whole vow exchange and lip service. By the time I arrived, the bride and groom were pouring sands into a cylindrical vessel. This is my first time seeing the ceremony done but it's no  mystery as to why it was done. After some googling, I found out I am right. hehehe. The sand ceremony is performed by the bride and groom pouring different colour of sand into a vessel. It signifies the unity of 2 lives and besides it's great as a reminder of the wedding day.

cupcakes makes great wedding cake!

I was eye-ing the cupcake all the time. They were so adorable, I want to gobble them up!! I think cupcakes are great as wedding cake. Cut's out the hassle of cutting cakes. Plus, did I mention they were adorable??

The happy newlyweds

The newlywed look so happy together. I always feel so happy looking at newlyweds. The always look so genuinely happy together And, somehow, my little heart is brought to the days of my innocence in which I still do believe in happy endings and fairy tales (and that I had weather control power? 0.o) Dear, God, please be kind to me and give me a happy marriage too. :D pretty please?

Forgive my pictures. I had to edit them because the colours weren't so good.I just added filters to make them brighter. By the way, I recently purchased the dress for this wedding. I think bright pink makes a perfect combo with an outdoor garden party wedding.

white chairs, u look like white picket fence u know!!

 The dress was kinda too short for my liking. *Note to self: please wear patterned leggings or black leggings with it next time. Ooh, n the thing that I loved most with the wedding is:

FRESH FLOWERS!! And the roses smells lovely!!

Went back with a tummy full of cupcakes and fuzzy feeling.

On my way back, I went to my bff's place at Bukit Beruntung, Rawang to get a saree for the Indian wedding the next day. We had cendol and rojak pasembor over a great catching up session. The cendol and rojak were one of the better ones that I've tried. I am salivating as I type this.. :D Nyum!! 

The peanut sauce was thick and full of flavours.

It was a cold day but there's no stopping us from having our cendol!

I am hungry already.

Welcoming the dragon year.

The year is the year of the water dragon according to the chinese lunar calendar. The water dragon will bring, heck, lotsa water!! Think rain, storm...tsunami?? gulp!! Personally, I do feel we are on our way to more extreme weathers with our reckless living. Water dragon or no, there will be storm. A-ny-wayy, I digressed. This year's Chinese New Year was extra special to me because I went back to my hometown. It made me really happy to see all my relatives. It also made me think a lot too.

 

I got to see my grandma again. This picture will always reminds me about impermanence and how one day, I will age too. Or not. (if i die young, i get a botox, a new anti aging drug is invented, u never know). Time will pass me by. I hope if I ever reach that age, I would still be as feisty and high-spirited.. :D

The customary steamboat. Man.....I love this!! I could have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Best with lots of people. My favourite items are crab stick, quail's egg, oyster and enoki mushroom!! bliss~  

Not a typical CNY feast. It's mango somtam (thai salad), grilled chicken wings and glutinous rice. It's something my relatives prepared for us during our visit. It was sooooooooooooooo deli-delicious!! Miss it!!

My CNY ensemble. I bought all this during my shopping trip in Times Square, Kuala Lumpur. This whole attire cost me a hundred ringgit. (White tee RM10/crimson shorts with belt RM30/lilac vintage-like bag RM40/tan wedges RM20). I got it all at a good bargain. And the quality is not too bad. Max love the wedges. It's the last piece, my size and so comfortable!!

Everyone, meet momo. He's staying with my grandpa and he is such a cutie!

Yoyot (my rabbit) had been living with O (my friend's one eared cat) when I was away. DO NOT leave cats and rabbits together unsupervised. This picture was taken during yoyot's exercise time and it is under supervision. Yoyot looks real relaxed. I wouldn't say the same for O though. He seems a little tensed!

That's CNY for me this year. A long holiday, but very fruitful indeed. I will remember it with good feelings. Hope all of you had a good time too!! :D

Hello, hello~

Very ambitious of me to get this pumps. Honestly, I am still learning to walk (and look normal) with these. But, I love how they lengthen my legs!

 

Yoyot seems to like my new pumps a lot. Thank god, I managed to save them from his bunny teeth!! He's turning more and more handsome each day.

Made these new headband. I really don't know how to describe it. I'm calling it bunny ear headband. :D

so u bark and i talk.

:) standing up for yourself is an awful fun thing to do! :) it's liberating!

nostalgia

Walking pass the pasar malam that used to excite the hell out of  me, brings back waves of nostalgia. i remembered how wide and sparkling my eyes must have been, looking at all the varieties of food and trinkets on display.

Shiny, tiny treasures that bellows hellos; promising nothing but cheap luxury. Oh, how can you tell? I thought they look expensive. Or so, you tell your inner auntie. It must have been the adrenaline rush from the excitement that must have made the food so good last time. It never did taste the same. You chew and slurp and nod your head automatically. This taste good ya. Oooh, so crunchy. The act was too robotic to be natural. It's astonishing how well rehearsed we are.

Another friend took a picture of the food. I am going to message this to Little Chicken! What shall we say? Hah! Here, having your favourite smelly tofu with your favourite girl. Too bad Penang doesn't have both! I felt a lump forming in the middle of my chest. I gulped a few times thinking that the forceful motion would push the ball of nothing into my tummy. at least it will get digested there. But nothingness doesn't get digested nor does it get pushed down by gulping. Futile. Nothingness doesn't get dissolved!!! How can you breakdown a nothing?

Yes, I am again flooded with nostalgia. I said something funny and everyone else laughed. There, there a crease smoothened. But, again I felt my vision became a little glazed as i chew on my plastic spoon. That lump must have been a vortex. It needs to be filled, but we all know it is bottomless. I want to relive the memories of the past. Back when you and i, we still believes in the books. I blame it on the telly really! It never occurred to me it would be different. We would find our passion. Work real hard. We would be rewarded. The good prevails. I am good. And, evil, their politics just got backfired! You are evil. We would believe that all human beings are meant to do something good. Everyone will have a benefit of a doubt. There wouldn't be......resentment.

But, today is the present!! Well, i don't want a present if it doesn't makes me happy!! No one said it's going to make you happy. The past is gone. Let it go. Easier said than done. Hah!! Another cliche, right back at you!!

Smugly, i took the last bite of my smelly tofu. It smelled like rubbish but it taste damn good.


p/s- partly fiction, partly truth. for one, we did go to the pasar malam. for two, i am not the favourite girl, she's my best friend and no, i have no intentions to be little chicken's favourite girl.
