First BFF Getting Married

Yes, you heard that right. T'was my first wedding I attend to, not my relative's or some dad's friend's son/daughter.. LOL aaaannnnnnd im the maid of honor! *maybe because im the shortest among our friends, and they say that the maid of honor must not be higher than the bride??!! still im slightly taller lor.. but passable xD

Anyway, the bride HuiShin was my first roommate in UUM. The first impression when i saw her was... 'WOAH! She's such a doll!!' She is a petite girl with good looks and not to forget proportionate body too. lol no joke and i actually feel quite happy cuz i've got a pretty roommate lah and we share the same interest on make up and stuff. Although there are times that we might have conflicts but hey its normal right? Its all good though :)

Okay, back to the story. It was the first week of semester and 2 of the bridesmaid, Ting and Karmen came from UUM stay over at my place for the wedding preparations cum Janlyn's 21st Birthday celebration *coughs The wedding was on the 16th of September which is also a public holiday so we dont have to skip classes for that. Lucky us! HuiShin rented a house with 6 guest rooms for us to stay over the island where she will be picked up by the groom but all 5 of us slept in 1 room. (much more cozier like that) xD

So we had to reach earlier the day before the wedding cuz there's a video shooting for us, the bridesmaids cuz there's no time to do on the actual day itself. Reached there quite early and changed into our dresses. Did i mention that the bride bought dresses for all of us? She did! :p

so this is the 5 of us. from L-R, YingYing, Ting, myself, Karmen, and XueFen
lol yeah yeah im the shortest one..

no make up cuz too lazy but it was a bad idea -_____-

the videographer took so long to reach so we kept taking pics by ourselves.

with the bride! 

this is her wedding gift from us! sexy enough?? so happy that she liked the pressie!

And so she left us for the night and lemme just fast forward to the next day aka wedding day.

The bride literally prepared everything for the gate crashing ceremony. She knew we were so busy with uni stuff and all that's why everything was prepared by herself and we feel bad for it :/
On that day itself all of us were so busy and all nervous with the props! We were told that there were around 10 heng dais but there's only 5 of us as bridesmaids! Clearly outnumbered us already.. Soooo scared that we might actually get bullied instead of we bullying them.. Haha but its all good thanks to the bride's brother-in-law for helping us guarding the door.

your's truly with her make up on this time. lol

the bride in her lovely gown

with the pretty bride! :D 

me being all nervous already! 

selca together!

I just realised there's not much pictures taken during the wedding cuz im super super busy helping the bride and being by her side 'fanning' her.. lol so the above pictures were taken before the grooms and heng dais arrive. I dont have anything with me except for my fan! No worries, you guys can watch the video which i will post later on! Just keep reading :p 

Then as the maid of honor, I must follow the bride to the groom's side but sat on a different car with the groom's best men. *awkward moment* I was literally blushing all the time! goshhh... 

Spent almost another 2hours standing and fanning the bride. Boyyy, no easy job. I was so hungry cuz i didnt ate anything the whole morning and I was just too busy taking care of my 'fanning' job that I've got no time for anything. Not that im complaining or anything but its really an experience for me to stand the whole morning till 2pm with an empty stomach and sweating profusely till the best man came handling me the tissue. *another awkward moment* fml 

My girls were waiting for me outside and after im done with my work we quickly drove home to my place to bathe and slept. All of us were extreeeemeeeeeeeeely tired. 

*Fast forward to wedding dinner. 

the decors were really really pretty!! its like a dream wedding and i know this is exactly how she wanted. feeling soo happy for her!

the emcee asking the groom to sing for the bride.  too bad i didnt record down the moment when the groom sang for the bride. super touching till all of us cried. :') 

pictures are all from the iPhone which explains the poor quality. sorry guys im blogging from  uni now! left my camera at home and i didnt transfer those pics to my laptop beforehand. *eekks 

adoree her wedding dresses esp this one!
looks like the one Belle wearing from Beauty and the Beast right? 

ngawwwww..... 

OMG. after i finished writing everything, i found out that the video cant be found. The page couldnt load and i dont know if its my uni line problem or the video has been taken down. 

Anyway i hope you guys can view it here : CLICK ME 

So, this is the end of it. I wish them stay happily ever after with their soon to be borned baby princess! Cant wait to go visit her and her princess during CNY! :D 

Before I end this post, here's a lil update about me! Currently having exam fever but I seem to be relaxing so much this semester dont know why, maybe cuz I prepared too early and finally able to muster all my confidence level before my exam days. AND I'm having an english paper tomorrow morning at 9am! Its actually my Business Professional Communication paper where we have to write letters and memos during the exam. Hopefully i can ace it. Last paper will be on the 13th! I just cant wait to go home and eat all the pork!!!! haha jk~ 

Good luck to those whose having exams and Happy Holidays to those who finished theirs! 

 

will try to update more often from now, toodles! ;)

21st Pre-birthday celebration

Hello!!! It's September aka my birthday month! Aaaannnd I sorta celebrated my birthday for the whole month. I know I sounded like a spoiled brat but don't blame me, I'm just too lucky and blessed to have awesome people around me who gave me such great memorable 21st birthday. Say real one, its better than how i envisioned it to be. I'm truly happy and glad to have everyone *literally* celebrating my special day with me!

At first i thought of organizing a party for my birthday but my date kinda clashed with my friend's wedding day so yeah no party. Changed to dinner gathering instead. That's why I wasn't hoping for anything big as we (my friends and I) were all busy preparing for the wedding. Two of my uni girlfriends came over to my place for few nights stay and so i took the responsibility to bring them around for shopping and what nots! So I decided to have my birthday dinner at Maricosa, Straits Quay Penang. I was kinda sad and grumpy cuz my friend XueFen couldn't make it due to some stuff but nvm that.

Wanted to try this place out cuz I kinda fancy the Hawaiian themed decorations! lol

Even the chairs and ceiling fans look so cutee!  

Many interesting things are sold there too. 

with love!

Karmun and Ting

we ordered Strawberry Margarita. It has the 'Slurpee' texture from 7-11, different from what I used to try before.

Tomato Bruschetta 

Fettuccini Ala Carbonara- I really like the rich and creamy white sauce.

Salmon and Venus Clam Tajine- Both salmon and clams are fresh. Bouillabaisse stock kinda spicy but its all good! 

All Tajine courses are served with either 2 bowls of pearl rice or 4 pieces of house bread :)

 Overall i think the food was oh-kay. I find the desserts are all overpriced. Other main courses are reasonably priced. After our dinner, we had a walk outside enjoying the sea breeze and night view. We took a couple of pictures as well! :D

oh ya, Karmun is my product of the day. Her make up and clothings are all mine! LOL

:)

 Next stop, to The Library to meet up with XueFen. It was my first time there! ;p

pretty hot and sweaty. 

Ground floor is kinda pack and so we were seated on the first floor. I personally preferred that cuz its not so stuffy and smoky compared to the ground floor. 

our drinks! 

XueFen's virgin drink- "Very Safe Sex On The Beach"
she had to drive back home alone so we didn't let her drank anything alcoholic! 

The band singing for the night. 

 So here comes the climax. While we were just chilling around and chatting, XueFen suddenly opt to have my camera. I thought she wanted to snap a picture with me but she INSIST on holding my camera herself. I was kinda shocked but wasn't thinking anything much so I just gave her my camera. After a few minutes a waiter came with a cake and i started blushing. FML face immediately turned red as if I was sosososososo drunk! Then the band made a huge announcement and sang the birthday song for me which made me even redder. wtf seriously I think I cannot digest so many surprises at one time!
 

My birthday cake!
 Can immediately recognise its from the bakery I worked from previously. ROFL.

I have absolutely no idea why the way I am wishing looks like praying. HAHAHA

The girls insisted love to give me a birthday kiss! *blush 7637925368316 times more*

Yours Truly :D

a dark group picture. the brighter/with flash version makes my red face look sooo obvious so I have no choice but to post this one here instead. 

Finally, I would really like to thank my girlfriends for planning this for me. Seriously, never thought that they would come up with a surprise but it turned out the other way round which made me really really happy and touched. What more can I ask for when I can have such awesome people to celebrate my birthday with me!
 I guess i'll stop now cuz I might start getting all emotional later LOL. Will continue another birthday celebration soon in another post so stay tuned!

Delayed post.

This is a delayed post as well.. lol i just realised that im always blogging about something that happened almost 2-3weeks ago! Pardon me, I was still working last week and every time when i got home, I'll be dead tired and lazy to just turn on my lappy. Anyway, I've stopped working and currently enjoying my remaining holiday to the fullest! :D

Yinlan's 21st birthday. Pictures are NOT arranged in particular order. lol

so these are my high school girlfriends!

with the gigantic card xinyan and mayling made for the birthday girl! lol

jocey, mel and I

with Xinyan and HuiLing :p

;)

the birthday cake ordered from the bakery im working at! 

and finally the sweet birthday girl posing with her cake. Happy 21st birthday again! 

Working experience. 

So yeah, its was my first time working and i feel so blessed and lucky. Most of my friends couldn't believe the fact that im working and some even said that i wont be able to make it for the whole 2 months! Surprisingly, my job isn't as tough as i think it is and its so simple that i get bored of it easily every time, everyday! My lady boss is a young pretty lady which is so caring and lenient. She even told me that i could bring along my laptop to watch movies or online during working hours but i only did that once.. lol 

For the first few weeks, everything was kinda new to me and i got panicked easily when there's few customers lining up to pay the bill/ordering cakes/inquiring. It took me a hard time memorizing the prices of the buns and toasts too! Before getting the hang of it, each time a customer came in to buy breads, i'll stare at them and look closely which buns they took and i'll quickly glance to the tag to see how much it cost! haha sounds creepy and hopefully i dont creep them with my stare. 

so this is how the bakery looks like. btw its Bruce Le Breads & Cakes! They have another branch in Raja Uda as well. The one I worked at is the Teluk Air Tawar branch. 

Every morning, trays and trays of buns were sent from the Raja Uda branch and I had to pack each of 'em into plastics!  Arrange the cakes on the display fridge and all.. That's the only few things I do every day apart from being a cashier which is sooo relaxing AFTER you get the hang of it. It took me around 2 weeks to master everything. 

Some of the interesting cakes that i managed to capture.

the best selling moo- moo custard swiss roll! its really nice!! 

 Everyday, mummy would drive me to work. It only took around 2minutes from my house. I feel thankful to my mummy for preparing my lunchbox for me almost everyday too! Thanks to my lady boss for giving me a reasonable pay despite the job was not difficult i would say. Still, sometimes I screwed my part a lil but my colleague is kind enough to help me out. Also, I ordered a number of cakes for myself too during my working period to make use of my staff discount! lol their cakes are really nice and yummy!!

You guys should go have a try too ;)
