Through the lens of my eyes

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...

Updated: 24/4/2015 *Resuming from Wedding 101: How to pack your 'Kapit' (Bridal Luggage)? * When it comes to make up, I’m just hopeless. And every time I do my own make up, it’s giving me a lot of stress (believe it or not? Make up also give me stress *alamak!!*). The hardest part is to do the eye makeup. No matter how nice and even I colour my lids, once I open my eyes, they’re gone!  内双就是这样 *T___T * So I know, I really need a skillful Make Up Artist (MUA) on my wedding day. And since skillful means good and good means they get booked out fast! I hired ‘Mei Ling’ at the very early stage of my wedding planning. Actually, the correct spelling of her name is Mui Lin but you’ll often find her name appearing on the internet as ‘Mei Ling’. She has over 20 years of experience with Bridal Make up, she works with Pearl Studio and she also does freelancing. Her style of makeup trends towards natural looking with lots of details on the eyes! That is exactly what I need...

*resuming from Wedding 101: Don't know what to prep for Chinese Custom Wedding? Read This! ^^ * Hello,  I'm resuming my Wedding 101 post! Cos I have goyang my kaki for 5 weeks liao, it's time to get back to Wedding posts! I was browsing through my wedding photos on my phone and I saw my 'Kapit' and i thought, okay, I'm gonna do this first before the older posts. Cool with that?  So, apparently, the word 'Kapit' is only native to Kuchingites, it means - 'Bridal luggage'! And before this, I didn't even know there are tips and traditions to follow! And I was feeling a bit stress cos I didn't set aside some budget to prepare my 'Kapit'. I remember telling myself, I must Blog about this!!  You're welcome! hehe =) When Mom brought me shopping, I thought I can get any luggage I want as long it's red in colour! Yap, I got it partially right!  Tip #1: Buy a RED luggage (or at least pinkish ) and the other part tha...

If you know me, I’m always in shorts and Tee. And I have this favourite pair of shoes (well, sandals lah) that I'll slip my feet in and walk around all day, even when I'm travelling! Caption goes.... Me and my *Bou Bui Sandals (*translation: my precious......lol) see my prints there, it already sunk in and can't be removed. That's how much I love my Bou Bui~~ LOL But with the new title my husband gave me, Mrs Sia can’t always be in shorts and Tee right?  Time to upgrade my wardrobe! (hehe) Which I did! (hehehe) And I'm ready to dress and impress! One Problem though! They don't match with my Bou Bui sandals leh!!!  A serious mismatch! *Peninggg Kepalaaa* T.T HOW? I turned to google for solution *searched shoes malaysia* BOOMMMMmmmm! Google said, ...... ....... ........ ....... ....... I need new shoes ! (Ai~...

Continuing from Wedding 101:  Why Kenny & I decided not to engage any Bridal Studio - how are we gonna do it? Jeng Jeng Jeng~~~ Remember the Bride-to-be I wrote about who surveyed almost every single Bridal Studio in Kuching? (Lol Me lah, who else?)  She's back blogging :)  Girls, this post is a bit long, in order to help you find the information you need easily, I've categorized them into two parts :  1) The first part  is all about the know-how on getting our dream gown. 2) The second part is about my gown buying experience online! Hehehe so, coming back to where I left it - Wedding gowns!  ************************************************************************* PART 1: The KNOW-HOW on getting your Dream Gown! In Chinese, there is this saying that '女人穿婚纱的那一天最漂亮了!' so when it comes to choosing Wedding gown, it excites us! :) But the question is, how do we select that ONE PERFECT GOWN for our big day? I raised that...

I can officially tick 'MRS' on application forms and and and, tick 'HOUSEWIFE' on Arrival Immigration cards!!!  (Even though I am still on a 'L-plate' hahahaha whatever! I'm married! lolol) We had an outdoor Button theme R.O.M, colourful ones that is, and it turned out to be so lovely! That is exactly the kind of wedding we want!  Just a sneak peek...... Yes, I said a sneak peek, one photo enough liao lah..... lol..... People has been asking me about our ROM, shall blog about it soon k. In the meantime, if you have other questions just drop me a line.     Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm officially Mrs Sia! :) :)

2009: He always comes in late to buy coffee. Jan 2010:   We met again, this time in his gym. April 2010: I became one of his Les Mills Instructor. May 2010: We went Bali at the same time, coincidentally that is, and had dinner together. Since then:  I have been thinking of him. *blush* Feb 2011: I took out tonnes of courage and asked him out on my birthday. 18th March 2011 : He kissed me. His heart was beating so fast he said the Barista gave me one shot, you gave me two! Over the last 3 years:  We did a lot of things together. We exercise together, we travel together, we run marathon together, we cuddle, we joke, we share every moment together and I know he is the one.  A man that is there for you on every ups and downs and accept you the way you are is a man that truly loves you. 9th September 2013: He knelt down on one knee and proposed. I said 'HARRR??? WHATT?? NOW??? before I said YES!!! lolol I know, such a silly ...
