Happy Bday to me...again!

Who celebrates their birthday twice in a year and gets to make birthday wishes all over again?! Uhuh (nods head)..mua did!

A few days ago, my uber cool friends threw a small bday celebration for me during the Prophet Muhammad's Bday since it was a public holiday. That was a Thursday. My bday is that following Saturday. So, my super uber adorable BF decided to throw a small BBQ gathering to celebrate my bday, again. Didn't served anything fancy. Just chicken, lamb chop, hot dogs...ect. You know, the normal stuff you'll get for a BBQ.

We called a few friends over and there we have it, a BBQ! Sid and HA were able to make it but Feesa had to be in PD to celebrate her mom's bday. My other friend, Maya and her new husband also came. Invited my cousin as well, but she had a bad case of upset tummy since she got back from HK. My housemate also couldn't make it cos she was away celebrating her bday in Bali.

Apart from the food that was served, BF also ordered a cake for me. Chocolate cake..yummy..my favourite! Oh...and as mentioned, I get to blow the candles and make my bday wish...for the 2nd time in week. Hehe. How cool is that? But me, being modest and all (ahem..), wished for the same wish that I made a few days ago. Would love to write down the wish here, but they say if you say what your wishes are, they wouldn't come true. Technically, I'm just putting it in a blog, but...if someone were to read this, it would be considered as telling, right?! Hmm..am not gonna take that chance! I'll just keep it to myself and hopefully it will come true!! (Keeping fingers crossed!!)

After stuffing ourselves with all that food (including the cake as dessert), we chill for a while outside before adjourning inside to gamble, no money included of course. Played for a while and then we called it a night.

I heard the next day that some of them were tipsy from the alcohol that was served, especially the JD, which none of them wanted to finish. Hehehe. Ohh...HA and Gee commented that the "tuak" that BF and I have kept since 2004, which my mom prepared, is tastier than the JD that we served. Guess when my mom made it, she was in the best mood as they say that a tasty "tuak" is the product of a happy heart! =)

Happy Birthday to me!

I've officially entered my last year of being 20 yesterday. How time flies. It just felt like yesterday that I was excited as I was turning 21. And then came 22...which was still ok. Before I can really sit down and digest the fact that I'm officially an adult, it was time for me to blow the 29 candles on my birthday cake! Well, ok. I exagerate. There wasnt 29 candles on my birthday cake. The most candles that i had to blow was only 6, and that was because there were 6 letters to spell my name.

My bday cupcake that Feesa baked. Yummy!

Feesa woke up extra early that morning to do the icing on the cupcake and it was worth it cos it was DELICIOUS! On top of that, the food that i ordered was equally delicous but i didnt take photo of it. I did, however, took photo of some of the food that the rest ordered:

We celebrated my bday in Labodega in Bangsar (Telawi) and i really like the place. Its a really nice place to chill, especially if you are surrounded by super uber cool friends like the ones in the pictures below.

From Labodega, we adjourned to catch a movie in Cinneleasure called "27 Dresses" and then from there, we adjourned to Sid's house to eat the 'keropok leko' that he bought from Terengganu. The 'keropok' is huge! Sid had to boil it to defrost the thing and then fry it for us to eat. So while waitting for it to defrost, HA and BF were playing cards, me and Feesa were catching up on girls talk, while Sid were buys chatting with his friend on-line. We didnt stay long though as it was getting pretty late and we had to make our move.

All in all, it was a great nite and I trully enjoyed myself. If it wasnt for us needing to work the next day, we would have stayed out longer. Ah well! At least I get to eat the yummylicious cupcake, watch a movie and sample the keropok leko from Terengganu for my bday!

Wedding reception + Weekend getaway - Kuantan

Every time I mentioned about my trip to Kuantan, people would tell me "why were you in Kuantan? There's nothing to see there wat!". Well, these people are so wrong. I don't know which part of Kuantan they went to, but I quite enjoy my trip there earlier this month.

If it wasn't because of Jamie's wedding reception, I wouldn't have thought of going to Kuantan myself. Thank the-big-guy-up-there that Jamie invited us to the wedding cos if not, then we wouldn't be able to enjoy the splendour of Kuantan!

Jamie's wedding reception was held on the 8th of March 08, which was a Saturday. So we decided to go since it was the weekend anyway and that we've (bf & I) have never been there. My uber cool friends were also invited so we all booked a 3 bedroom apartment in this place called "Tembeling Resort". That too we should thank Jamie, cos if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have known that the place ever existed. Will post the picture of the place in due course cos I didn't bring it today.

Looking at the price that we were paying, the resort is actually not that bad and most importantly, it was near the house of where the reception were held. So it was easy for us since we weren't that familiar with the place. The room that we got was facing the ocean, so when we open the sliding, we were greeted by the ocean breeze. That was seriously the highlight of the apartment. Apart from that, everything else were pretty much standard and I don't have much complaint about it. Well, ok. I lied. I do have one, uno, complain about the place and its about the a/c in our room! I guess it was super old that when we turn it off, the water will drip causing the floor to flood! It was such an inconvenience for both of us cos we were not able to off the a/c regardless of how cold we were that night. Urrgh!

Ok, enough about the complain. Moving on...

We arrived in Kuantan that afternoon, so we had a few hours to kill before needing to attend the reception. UCF (Uber Cool friends) decided to kill their time at the beach while me and BF decided to hit the mall. Got myself a swimsuit at the mall and then we decided to join UCF at the beach.

Picture from left to right: Me and BF enjoying the breeze; aww...; UCF and me; UCF with BF and me.

Took more pictures at the beach and then went back to the hotel to get ready for the reception. All of us decided to wear the traditional malay costumes for the reception and we look like one happy family on Raya day in the picture! Hehehe..

Don't we all look like we were ready to celebrate Raya?! =P

Arrived at the reception and saw that some of our colleagues were already there, eating. So we joined in and stayed there long enough to take pictures with the bride & groom.

Obviously there are more pictures of the wedding than I intend to post here, but I think this one is more than enough. Besides, if it were my wedding, then I'll probably want to post alot more pictures that I should. =)

The next day, we checked out and made our journey back to KL. But before we did that, we manage to stop by at Cherating and checked out the beach. Was disappointed though as the beach weren't as nice as 'Telok Chempedak". UCF decided that they were gonna drive to Terengganu but me and BF decided not to tag along cos it was gonna be a longer drive home if we were to go. So, off them went to Terengganu and us to KL.

It was an interesting trip and I do hope to come back again. Kuantan, you have not seen the last of us yet!
