Weather..

Man! It is hot today and also for the past few days. There has been no rain since Thursday and seriously...it need to rain! I never been a fan of sunny weather. Anything gloomy to rain is my favorite, at least in Malaysia. Hot weather just get to me all the time & I could get very irritated for no reason at all. Plus, hot weather give me a bad headache. I don't really enjoy going out under the sun & I would avoid it as much as possible except when I am off for a vacation. 


My favorite season will be winter of course. I enjoy seeing places turn into white when the snow cover the surface and I like the cool wind when I am standing outside the house. Well, you only freeze if you stand outside the house without proper cloths anyway. So when you're in the house, it be warm again. It is so cozy, drinking a mug of hot chocolate, sitting on the sofa, watching some movie and at the same time, watching the snow falling outside the window.


Ahh...lovely. Snow please!I wish there will be snowing in Malaysia now!! This weather is killing me.

Finally..

After searching for almost a year for the right people to design it, waiting for 4mths for it to reach Malaysian's shore all the way from Indonesia & almost 4 hrs of installation time, I finally have my much waited and anticipated room divider!!
Yes! It is damn huge. Made of teak wood, 2.4m in height & 2.5m in length. Purely design by me & my hubby. It is custom made by us! Two engineer working together for a project.Hehhe... I am so happy that it finally in our house though it was so troublesome to actually bring it into the house. They have to separate it into four part because obviously, no way they can carry it in one piece.
Full of memorabilia from all over the world or places that I have been to and not forgetting some wedding gifts which I finally have a place to display it. Now at least no one can see directly to the living room as they enter the house.
That is how it look like from behind or rather in front, depending on which angle you see it. Yup, my house have lots of teak wood stuff because I just love wood and the smell of it. Now that is done, I still have few more project to do.

It's 4 years!

Last month I celebrate my 4th wedding anniversary and yet it feel like we just got married yesterday! I vividly remember the day I walk down the aisle and meet him at the altar. Yes..the man whom I want to spend the rest of my life with and I know who will be there for me through everything. I could not ask for anything more than what I already have in him and I can truly say that I am happily married! All I wish for at this moment is that we will have more anniversaries in the future and continue to love, care and respect each other, till death do us part.


Happy Anniversary Honey! Love you with all my heart.

Romantic getaway

It is the time of the year again, to celebrate our love for each other, well not that we can't celebrate it everyday but on this day, I just want to make it special. It is a day to remind us the first day we become husband & wife and a reminder for us how much we love each other. Furthermore, not that both of us always have the time for a vacation together so whenever possible, we will have a romantic getaway, just the two of us. This year, we are headed to the East Coast , Terengganu. Our first time to Terengganu so we both excited to see what the place has to offer.
After checking into our room, we headed down to the beach. It was kind of dirty that day because the high tide did brought with it some 'souvenir'. I wish the resort assign some people to clean it every other day. But the water was warm and for those who dare to swim, it will be nice but not for me. I just watch from afar.Hehehe...
Our room is just in front of the beach where you can clearly hear the sound of the wave hitting the shore. We have a huge room with our own patio and a huge and comfy daybed which I enjoyed using. The resort send over evening snack daily to our room that consist of some traditional delicacies. We have sunken bath tub in between our shower stall & toilet, opposite the wardrobe. I love the bed because it's huge but not long enough for my hubby. Well, I have to admit it, it is not that easy to find a bed in Asia which can accommodate his height.
Me & my favorite daybed. It is very big & comfy for me to lay down and do my reading.


After our spa treatment the next day, we decided to see Kuala Terengganu, which is literally 40min away from our resort. The resort is very secluded which is why I choose the place because we both need the quietness and privacy and we want it to have some traditional touch to its architectural design. Honestly, KT has nothing to offer, well, at least for me. Hardly see any taxi moving around so thank God I ask for our taxi's driver' business card or we will be stuck there. On our last night there, we had a candle light dinner on the beach which I love so much.
 We having dinner at the beach club, literally on the beach. The weather was great that night & it was full moon. Had some mosquito bit but it was OK as I enjoyed the setting, foods & of course the company.
It is nice to have dinner at the beach once a while & looking over the darkness of the sea with a glimpse of light from the sky.
The resort provide us with our anniversary cake which is so cool but we didn't finish the cake as we were so damn full!
Really enjoy the short & quiet vacation we had & I really look forward for the next one. Happy 4th anniversary honey & I look forward for more anniversary together!Kisses..

Phuket

Finally, this year I manage to pay a visit to one of my favorite country, Land of Smile. Last year I didn't manage to go there because of my hectic schedule but this year, I am so determine that if I have the chance, I will come back. This time, I went to Phuket with one of my gf. She is a frequent visitor of Phuket but as for me, this is my first visit to the island. I didn't even know about the flood in the northern part of Thailand at that time until my hubby mentioned it to me. Was a bit worry in case 'Kak Su' (tsunami) will come while I am there  since there is a history of that happen and my natural fear of water (don't ask me why but I was born with the fear of drowning). But I refuse to let the news to dampen my spirit so I pack my back & headed to the airport at 4am!

We were greeted by heavy rain when we landed in Phuket airport & we both a bit worry that it will be raining the whole time we are there. The owner of the guest house where we stay, was already waiting for us at the arrival hall with a huge cardboard with my name on it.Hehehhe....Had a good chat with him along the way from Phket airport to Karon Beach, where we will stay for the first 3days.
After checking in & put our back in the room, we headed to the local town and also check out the beach. It was a cloudy evening in Karon that day but never stop anyone from hanging out at the beach and that include us!heheheh...for the next 3 days we just hanging out, did some shopping, did a serious eating all those spicy food & a damn serious spa activities.I did a lot of relaxation though during the first night there, I did manage to spend some time to finish some unfinished work of mine because I brought it with me. Well...that is just my life  for now because I just can't leave it at home and at the same time, I still want to travel. I guess, I just have to do both a a time.
 On the third day, we move to Patong but personally, I wish we stay on in Karon because it is much quieter and relax there. But at least I experience both area & know which one I will prefer the next time I go there (if ever). On our last day in Phuket, I did two of the activity that I always wanted to do for a very long time. Shooting...
and...an ATV ride! Yeahhhh..wish I can spend more time with both activity but it was definitely not within the budget as for now but there will be a next time. I left Phuket after 5 days and it was good to go away sometimes and relax a bit, away from my work (though not totally) and just hang out at the beach every single day! So I end up my day in Phuket, watching the sunset at the beach while listening to the sweet sound of the wave and the calm sea breeze on my face. Looking at the sun setting in while quietly sitting at the beach always give me the serenity & tranquility I always needed in this busy and hectic life of mine.

Backkk...

Wow...it's been half a year since I stop by here. How time flies and man...I'd been busy all those time. After the new year, life has been so hectic for me that I almost forgot that I even have a blog!Hahahha...


Anyway, I will try to update you guys with my travel as much as possible today as I am pretty free today. Decided to take a break for the day.After all, it is a public holiday in Malaysia today anyway & I decided that I do not want to do any work as per now. Tomorrow will be a new chapter because as per tomorrow, it will be the most grueling, important, stressful & exciting 4 months of my life (well, at least for now). So...I just want to chill out & relax TODAY.


See you guys in a bit.
