Through the lens of my eyes

First Birthday,  yes, it is an important one to document. Afterall, it is the day that the baby is no longer termed a 'baby' but a 'toddler'. Image from internet My mommy friends and I had an interesting discussion on how we have celebrated our babies' first birthday. And I was surprised to hear two stories: 1) Mommies are willing to pay for over thousands of Ringgit to hire an event planner. 2) Mommies stressing up over DIY party. I have no problem with the Idea of hiring professional help. But when I hear that the decoration alone cost quite a bit (in this case, over 1k), I was like 'What?!! Just decoration alone cost that much?!'......... I can never understand why parents would do that (oh please tell me!) And for those mommies who are stressing up over birthday party that only last less than 2 hours, please,  RELAX and STOP MAGNIFYING on it. That stress is unnecessary, it is not a wedding, birthday happens every year! So I am gonna write...

Today marks the 3rd month of me as Mrs Sia.  Life has been good and if there is anything I would complain about is the never ending housechores! (Anyone else?!) There is always something to wash, something to clean and something to fix. T______T  Kenny did suggest to get a helper but I am against that idea. I want a homely nest and keeping our nest clean is something that a wife does (with that I mean I do 80% of housework and him 20% hahahahaha). I'll feel useless if we hire a maid at the beginning of our marriage cos she'll be taking away my roles.  Plus, it's just the two of us, we haven't got a kid yet, do we really need one?!  My thoughts: If my mom can do it without a maid, I can do it too! All I need is a bit more time to adapt and I think it's normal to go through some growth (and struggles LOL) and slowly, I'll settle in. That's how I learn, that's how I get better at it. So one evening, Mrs Sia went shopping for washing pow...

I am hungry and I have all the reasons to be mad. Remember? Hell hath no fury like a hungry wife? I just can’t control my temper when I’m not being fed! (Okay, I sound like a baby now.) Today is Kenny’s birthday, the first birthday celebration for us as Husband and Wife. We said to meet at home at 7pm. But as I wrote this, it’s 8.13pm already. I am Hungry!!! I want food!!!!! *ROARRRR* (okay, now I am a lion). *Waiting at home and tapping my fingers* They say ‘ When you have nothing to do, find something to do! ’. Okay loh, I read reviews on restaurants, and the food pics they posted just made my tummy growled LOUDER! EAT or NOT TO EAT that is the question. JUST EAT LAHHH~~!! I went to our pantry, took out some biscuits and topped it with my favourite cheese (yes, I’m a rat), munch them all in (like I don’t gain weight liddat), and hope they kill my hunger. NOPE, it didn’t work. T_________T The food did went down…….. But it was too little that not even m...

I used to live with my parents, 3 kids, 2 adults, 2 maids, 2 hamsters, 2 dogs,  and 8 fish (now probably left 6?). Now it's just me and hubby - no maid, no kids (yet), no pet! YES!!! We are MARRIED!!! And Hello to FREEDOM again!!! I am just overjoyed that things are back to normal after we're married. It's like the spell of those stressful days and sleepless nights was broken on our wedding day!! =) =) So happy lah! I can't help but to return to our hotel room that night and do chest circles! hahahaha Oh, and girls, if you want to ask for favours, now is the time! LOL!! On our first month of marriage, I feel...... So relief! That's exactly how we felt! Putting an end to one whole year of wedding preparation is putting all the stress, all the nagging, all the extra opinions to an end (very honest hor?)! And, and, and finally ~ ~ ~ my piggy bank can recover T______T #chineseweddingissoexpensive. So loved! We feel so loved receiving lots of personal messages v...

结婚- 是所有女孩的梦想...it's a dream come true.  若非遇到心动的人，女孩是不会有那种勇气去碰'婚姻’这两个字。 因为，婚姻对女孩们而言是一生一次，所以女孩相信，只要找到对的‘他‘，就可以和‘他’白头偕老。 婚姻- 就是有那种力量，让一个女孩变成女人。 一夜之间，从小姐变女士；从一个家搬到另一家；从之前的生活到另一个生活； 如果不是真爱，女孩们怎么会愿意面对这么巨大的变化？ 所以说，男人呀！女孩愿意嫁给你，你要好好待她！ And Welcome to the club, Mrs Sia! 结婚一周，老公就得出门公干；这对于刚为人妻的谢太太，是有点不适应。 毕竟女人结了婚，是需要一些时间来适应新的生活，更需要老公在身边适应这个过渡期。 早在两个月前，老公已给我Notice，说结婚后，他就得专注在柔佛Segamat LUF24HR的开张。 LUF是老公的心血，也是我们开始相爱的地方，老公心里的紧张，责任，我都可以理解。 我还跟自己说 '嫁人了就要更体贴一些，更独立一些，做我老公需要的太太，让老公放心，不要siao ting tong！要长大一点!' 然后，很潇洒的跟老公说‘老公，你去吧！=)’ 哪知道...隔天起来...少了他在身边...就会特别想他...... =__= 原来我没那么潇洒！#thingsilearnaboutmyself (度过星期二晚，星期三晚，星期四晚... ) 今天，在送大姐去机场后，我跟老爸带着梦梦边喝咖啡边聊天。 ‘呵呵呵！谢太太，你过得怎么样呀？' ‘我还在L-plate(学)呢！而且，Kenny现在又出门公干...... 老爸，你有什么要跟我分享吗？’ ' 男人在事业上认真是好事啊！那表示他有责任感! ' (我被老爸逗笑了，我心想：几年前，Kenny拿两个大柑跟你拜年，你就把他加那么多分！LOL!!!) '那爸爸，当年你刚结婚后，是不是也这样？' '是呀！......男人结了婚，肩膀多了一份责任，想的不再是自己，而是怎样挑起这个家，把老婆照顾好,给她安稳的生活。...

*Disclaimer:在非常困的情况下写的，可能有点语无伦次......不过， 憋着太辛苦了，还是发泄发泄一下吧！ * 人家说：女儿是爸爸前世的情人，所以爸爸都会比较疼爱女儿，这点我明白，毕竟爸爸用一辈子保护女儿，自然的会比较疼爱女儿啊！ 可是，没人告诉我，当女儿要出嫁时，爸爸会变的特别焦虑，老爸怎么会变成这样呢？ 真搞不懂，芝麻绿豆的小事，怎么会让你动肝火了叻？！ 唉，经过几次的教训，我知道到跟你理论没用的啦，你在气头上 我说怎么你也听不进，倒不如直接求饶，说句‘奴婢该死’算了吧！ Ehh, 不对 ho, 该说儿臣知罪，请皇阿玛降罪！ 好无辜哦！有时就这样莫名其妙的中招 T__T 。 唉，没办法啦，上一代的人就是不善于表达。明明是出自爱，可是就是以不对的方式来呈现对女儿的爱。 * 苦 * 学长哥哥，你在哪里？妹妹需要你唱 南～摩～阿～弥～陀～佛～让我冷静冷静啊 T___T 我的老爸呀， 怎么你会这么紧张呢？ T____T 老爸，你要出嫁了 hor?????? 快呀老公，快点娶我吧!!!!!! 不说了，我困了，睡觉去呗！ 掰！

还有5个星期，就要正式成为‘谢太太’了。虽然我们已在3月份注册，可是我还住在娘家，所以生活上跟之前没有什么两样！ 但是，5个星期后，我的生活就不一样了。 这种心情好复杂！我知道过了那个门,敬了那杯茶后，我就正式成为谢家的媳妇了。老公是我爱的人，我认定他了；可是，不知道心里怎么觉得有点小害怕呢？这种感觉很让我困扰，我怎么会这样呢？我想不明白，就在我还在摸索的时候，今天发生这么一段故事...... 星期一是我教课的一天，而今天有位member在BJ课后跟我闲聊，本来也没什么，后来知道我快要结婚了就‘好心’给我提点提点。 经典一：  她说 ‘ 不要给老公太多自由，自由多了，人就变了，影子也看不见了！’ -____- 明白她的意思吗？给老公太多自由，人就变了样，跟以往不一样了，要见他也难。 经典二： 她说‘刚开始男人都贪图新鲜感，久了就腻了，甚至会把妳忘在一边’ （=____= 无言......对个快结婚的人说这个好吗？） 她接着说: ‘女人一生，为老公，为家里，为孩子，什么时候有考虑到为自己，所以做什么都好，要做自己喜欢的东西。’ 嗯，这个部分我认同，做什么都应该做自己喜欢的，那才有意思呀！ 后来，她得知我另一半后，加了这么一句 经典三： '老实说，像你老公这样能干，长得又不错的，你要 看紧～～一点!!! 他们是很抢手的，就算他不去外面鬼混，女生也会送上门!! 告诉你，我看过一个报道，它说，那些送上门的女人，男人是不会抗拒的！’ T____T 天啊，就没有一句好的吗？ 我随口问了一句，那应该怎么办？ 就短短几个字，她告诉我她的秘诀， 经典四: ‘掌控他的金钱!!! 他就会乖乖听妳的了！’ @___@ 啊？！不会吧！要做到这样？岂不变成他的奶娘兼银行了？ Errmmm... 谢谢妳那么坦诚的分享...... 不过我想说的是...... 第一 ，我嫁的是他的心，他的人。婚姻如果要做到妳说的那样，太累了。 婚姻的基础不就是爱吗？爱一个人就应该让他做他喜欢的事 ，因为没有人喜欢失去自由， 没有人喜欢像遥控器一样被控制着。我们是人，是两个相爱的个体，当你爱他的时候，你只会想着要怎么让他开心，或者你还...

To be exact, it's ...... ' WWWHHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE THIS ALSO CAN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, BIG Font and BOLD! With infinite'!') That was exactly what went through my head when people I deal with at work make my jaw drops to the floor. Somehow this year, I keep coming across people who gave me this reaction. Till one point (which is like just now) I decided to put it up in my little space and named it by series. Today mark the birth of Part 1: WHAT?! LIKE THIS ALSO CAN?!!! I got a quotation today which after my discussion with boss, we feel that they are overcharging us. I am instructed to negotiate with them to see if we can come to an agreement that both parties are happy with. Fair right? But guess what kind of respond I got? Sorry, but I'm actually very busy.....blah...blah...blah and stand firm on the overpriced quote. WHAT IS THIS?!!! LIKE THIS ALSO CAN?!!!   For the first time ever, I hear this kind of lame excuse! TELL ME ...

Hi~! I'm home!  I feel so calm right now after my Body Balance Module Training! The drill we had make my body so soreeee~~~ luckily my fingers are good so I thought why not blog instead.  I know I've been slacking on my little diary since the proposal. I think my diary is going to be a monthly thingy like period  from now. So here are the highlights that had happened from Mid Sept till now! ***************************************************************** 1)  Charity Relauch!  Body Jam 66 #makethecrowdgo Charity Relauch @ Level Up Fitness (Image from LUF FB) That's me kickstarting the party with Track 1: #thatpower with the rest of the BJ team. We sure did #makethecrowdgo! It was so happening and we were so happy that Body Jam Tix sold out!  Thank you for the support guys! ***************************************************************** 2) Had 1kg Salmon feast with my eating gang!

I wrote a longgggg post yesterday just to blah it out and I find myself wallowing in negative emotions. *delete post* That’s it! Good girl! Why zoom into negativity?! I should be enjoying all these moments cause it’s a wedding for me and the man I love! Ever since Kenny proposed to me, my life has changed.  Transitioning from Miss to Mrs is another stage of life that requires the bride to grow and adapt fast! To be honest, I wasn’t coping well over the past 3 weeks. Really overwhelmed by the amount of things to do/liaise and I find myself sandwiched between our parents’ expectations! What they want isn’t what we want! So where is the balance point?! I am still figuring it out! I mingled with Sarah yesterday just before GRIT and she mentioned how weddings here are so different from Aus. Then,  she shared how her little sister recently had a beautiful wedding in Aus with her close friends and relatives by the beach. Ahh~ that is the sort of ...

*Project He says, She says started from Rose , Sin and chipped in by Yien and now me (self invitation LOL!! I am very thicked-skin wan)!  I missed out on the first 2 dy, but still in time for the 3rd topic of He says, She says: How long will the feeling of 'in love' last?* Darn Good question! I bet most people never think about that! And when I saw the post on Rosie's blog, as a bride-to-be, it really makes me think...... It's commonly said that '婚姻是爱情的坟墓' (Marriage is the end of Romance).   I was like har??  Then every wedding anniversary mah become 扫墓 ki? But......Really,  I am confused! If love dies after marriage, why would you jump into it at the first place?  Love is one big word!  And how long does it last? My Answer:  Depends on these: a) What Love is build on! b) How you maintain it! c) How you show affection! ******************************************************* The Foundation - ...
