Getting bling-ified!

Believe me, I really don't have too much time in my hands... Especially now that a wedding is coming up.. But amidst my "busy-ness", I managed to find time to do a little crafty project.

I always wanted to "bling" my phone with Swarovski crystals ever since I saw some people with it.. I know it's kinda Paris Hilton-ish (reads: dumb) but I really like that it sparkles when light touches them.

So, one day I dragged Bo & my sister to Low Yat Plaza to actually buy a few hard back plastic cover for my Blackberry. In different colors.. I wanted to buy the rhinestones online but I actually found a shop in Sunway Pyramid that sells flat back crystals made especially for this purpose, so I went crazy!

And this is the result!

I still have 4 more plastic covers sitting around waiting to be bling-ified! :)

Chanelling Greek Goddess

Been missing me?

I've been busy.. With works and my brother's wedding preps.. We all decided that it'll be my job to look for photographer & videographer. Little did I know at the end of the day, it'll also be my job to pay them! But I'll be gladly to... It's exciting when any member of the family gets married, especially when it happens to be your only brother.

So, the newly wed has decided on their theme colors. It's going to be white & gold.. think Greek Gods, Old English etc..

I had in my mind, some ideas on dress designs to wear for the occasion. I actually couldn't wait to hunt for it! Until, my mom called one fine day and literally warned me what NOT to wear! Her condition is that I (and my sisters) were :

1) NOT to wear anything revealing and short,

2) NO sleeveless, definitely NO strapless,

3) NO showing off tattoos and NO bareback, wide shouldered etc...

I said OK to her, but of course in my heart, I panicked for a moment there... Where on earth can I find a dress that is compliant to Mom's requests but still be not Baju Kurung like? HELP!!!

Push comes to shove, I'll have my dress tailored... In fact, I've found some designs online that probably work.. But before I head to the tailor, I'd have to show Mom and see if she approves of the designs... Hmmmm... Something looks like this is ok for sister of the groom?

Congrats Bro!

Here's Congratulating my brother, Didi and his new wife Sylvia!

My brother got married on the first day of 2010. Sadly, I couldn't go back for the Nikah since I just had my 'Lap' procedure and was still in so much pain, I could hardly move.

I'm excited about their wedding reception and am eager to help with the preparation.. After all, this is my ONLY brother we're talking about.

So, aside from the paperworks I'm drowned in at the moment, I am also squeezing time to help with whatever I can! So if you don't see updates, you know what I'm up to.

P/S: I am soooo looking forward to February now.. Many things to expect!

Looking back

Welcome 2010! This is my very first post for this new year.

I've been contemplating whether or not to blog about what happened to me and my life in 2009. It has been a good year generally... but there were some other unfortunate events too. I decided that maybe sharing it with others may make me more "understandable".

I started 2009 with excitement, visiting my best friend Lucy and that shopping spree in London.

February - I decided that it's time I had my teeth straighten up. To wear these braces was a decision that took me about 7 years to make.

March - Nothing much except I went to Bandung for the first time and it was my shortest but powerful shopping trip ever! On this trip too I swore that I'd NEVER fly with Airasia Indonesia again if I have the choice.

April through May - During these months I got to check and found out if my body is capable of carrying a baby... whether if I were after all fertile. Hospital visits and obviously needle pokes were very much involved..

June - We moved to the apartment after less than a year staying at a double-storey house, and gave me a total peace of mind!

July - One of my Malinois died of snake bite. I've been meaning to take them to KL, but now I've decided to just leave the remaining one there. But I still feel bad..

August - My birthday month! Bo treat me to a trip to Sydney, it was my first time down under and won't be the last!

September - We found out that I was pregnant and was over the moon!

October - First, we found out that I miscarried and had to do D&C. And then six days later I was admitted to the hospital again. The test showed that I was in fact carrying a triplet. Unfortunately, two embryos were planted on my left tube, it's termed Ectopic Pregnancy. So, I was admitted to the hospital and was anesthetized twice in 1 week!

November - I went to Bali for a weekend to rest & relax - thank God for that or else I'll be going crazy home alone! What with the happening in the last month.

December - A few ex-classmates and me organized a reunion party for our batch from SMK Perempuan Likas after almost 10 years! And I went on to do another Laparscopic to remove my right tube as it was badly damaged and will risk my probable pregnancy in the future.

And that was the reason why I didn't party away on New Year's Eve... But it's ok, looking back, it was a good year for me except towards the end.. Oh well, there's always next year! I have good vibes for 2010! Resolution? I have none... I'm pretty content!
