Today I just lazying around the house.. emm, rolling on the bed actually, that's pretty much what I do, while hubby is working. Hubby went back home during lunch break just now and we went out to lunch together, yayyy I'm feeling like we are still on a dating period heeheehee..

Black Chocolate.. I think so?? @rm8

My Chocolate Valentine

 Dear hubby sent me this package for Valentine :D

Wow, I'm surprised.. it was neatly packed.. 

Chocolatessss

Estana dark chocolate, never heard this brand before, but it is delicious! I love dark chocolate!~

Durian Truffle in dark chocolate.. hehe, durian + dark chocolate, both my favourite.

It traveled 1000km++ to get to me, that's why the chocolate melted but it's still okay, it tastes good!
thank u hubby! luv ya!

Threadless

I ordered t-shirt from Threadless for my hubby on the 17th Jan as a V gift. They are having sale since last month so I browsed their collection and found this navy blue t-shirt and nice printed on it which I know my hubby will definitely like it.

I'm not sure when the package arrived because I'm on leave (Chap Goh Mei holiday) and when I come back from my one week holiday on 7th Feb, I found this on my table!

F*ck It, Navy Guys Tee $12.50 plus shipping $9. Original price is $20.

I paid $21.50 and converted to rm is around @rm68++. I ordered medium size and I think it will fit perfectly on my hubby. The fabric/material quality is too thin. The t-shirt colour is like wash off blue, like it has been washed several time already, literally. It's new but that's the perfect phrase to describe the colour and the condition of it.

Maybe that is the quality you get for $12, but if I were to buy t-shirt here in my place, I can get a good quality t-shirt with that rm68. The shipping cost makes it more expensive. 

I do like the design though.

They included this cute stickers :D

CNY Holiday!~

During Chinese New Year holiday, we went back to my hubby hometown from 20th till 28th. The whole week I was there, hubby granted my everyday wishes which was.. durian, durian and durian! Just that, it was more expensive to buy durian in town, around rm10/kg and above, whereas I can buy durian in KK for just rm4/kg! But yeah, I still want it and hubby is really a sweetheart! :D

Tatura Cream Cheese @rm7, Khong Guan Saltcheese Biscuits @rm3, evaporated milk @rm2

Sis-in-law made this layered cream cheese biscuits using Khong Guan Saltcheese Biscuits, Tatura Cream Cheese and evaporated milk. She mixed the cream cheese with milk until it become a smooth paste. She placed the biscuits on first layer and then layered it with the paste.  The thickness of the layered paste depends on you, I like it not too thick because I don't want to feel like I'm eating cheese cream only. There, you have your layered cream cheese biscuits!

After that, just put the layered cream cheese biscuits in the fridge and leave it for at least three hours to allow the biscuits to absorbs the cream cheese paste. The longer you leave it in the fridge, the better it taste. If you eat it within the three hours fridge time, you will eat two things, a biscuit and cream cheese, not layered cream cheese biscuits. I know this because I tried it hehehe...

This is really yummeh-licious biscuits lapis ever!

The taste was so yummehlicious and no, it's not sweet. It looks sweet but it's not because we used evaporated milk and my sis-in-law put the milk just enough to sweeten it.

Slice the layered cream cheese biscuits into small pieces and make a hot cup of coffee, there.. my afternoon will be so.. satisfying :)

One more unique thing that I found during my stay this time was this. Mum-in-law used these 'periuk kera' and put half cooked sticky rice in it and then steamed it until the sticky rice is fully cook!

How amazing these are! I never knew such method exists, I thought periuk kera is only to look-look and see plant. 

About the taste, was it any different from the usual cooking method? I can't really say yes, because I didn't find the taste urm.... strongly different? It was still sticky rice taste. The periuk kera did give a slight aroma to the rice which was pleasant and savory smell, I don't know how to describe it but you won't noticed it anyways if no one told you it was cooked using periuk kera. I noticed the aroma because I was trying too hard to smell it, lol!

Too bad, I woke up late that morning, so I didn't managed to see how mum-in-law cook the sticky rice and put it in the periuk kera. I woke up with food ready on the table... everyday actually, hehe.

Our First Wedding Anniversary

After Christmas celebration on the 25th, we went back to KK on the 26th afternoon. We had our dinner with my hubby's friend, Marisse on that day.

On the 27th, we started our holiday journey to Ranau. It's quite a funny story actually because I don't know which road to take to Ranau. At first, we took the road heading to Tambunan and thank goodness I realized something was wrong before going farther and farther away from KK town. I contacted my besties and they told me to take the Tamparuli road. It took us almost two hours to our destination. 

Lesson learnt: bbq at Kundasang is a very challenging task, make sure you have good quality charcoal, fire starter and even better  fire gun.

We stayed at Kiram's Village. I was quite disappointed with the chalet because they don't allowed BBQ if you took the couple room unless you take the house chalet (for 10-15 person). In the end, we BBQ at the cafe, we rented the BBQ set for rm12. 

That was yesterday.

Today, we woke up around 9am and we went to town to search for atm machine but couldn't find any. Then we drove to National Park because we thought there might be atm machine somewhere there, but it was hopeless, haha. After asking around at the cafe near National Park, it seems that there is bank at Kundasang town, so we went back to the town to take some cash. 

We decided to go to Ranau town without any plan actually, but it's just a 15-20 minutes drive, around 15km far. At Ranau town, we bought a lot of fruit, mango, mangosteen, durian and rambutan. I also bought tempoyak which is my favourite! I saw lot of bambangan but didn't buy any because I don't know how to make the jaruk bambangan.

We drove back to Kundasang town at 12pm and went straight to Desa Cattle. I was so happy because they have the bookmarks and fridge magnets available for sale! hehe, I finished almost rm70++ just for bookmarks and fridge magnets, oh and also two small boxes fresh milk and chocolate flavours.

It was only 2pm and we finished touring Desa Cattle, so hubby said we better go to National Park instead of tomorrow, because we still have some time before night came. At National Park, we paid rm3 for each adult tickets, we drove our car touring around instead of walking, yes we are that lazy, hohoho. 

On the way home to our chalet, we saw strawberry garden and decided to drop by to see if there's strawberry for sale or even strawberry plucking. Too bad, all the strawberry was sold in the morning and there's no plucking strawberry activity offered, huhuhu..

We stopped by Kundasang Memorial Park and spend time there around 30 minutes only because it's started raining. We reached our chalet around 4pm and we were exhausted. 

We just had our dinner just now, I ordered Lamb Chop and Nasi Goreng Ikan Bilis, while hubby ordered Chicken Curry with Rice, we paid rm33 including my Nescafe O and hubby hot Milo. 

What a day, all in all.. I was happy and satisfied with the outcome of our unplanned activity for today :)

Special Mug

Last night, to celebrate my hubby birthday we went to Sunway to watch Real Steel. Before the movie started, hubby spent me Baskin Robbins ice cream!!! aaahhh.. it's delicious.... Then, hubby bought me a mug with 'my wife' written on it, awww... I love you hubby! 

It's supposed to be his birthday, but seems like I'm the one who got treated, hehe..

His Birthday

I'm gonna cook Tom Yam Kung tonight using tom yam paste that I bought in BKK. Hubby already bought all the ingredients when I'm still in KK (I text-ed him the ingredients-to-buy hehe) so that I can start to cook the next day, which is today and it's his birthday :)

Oh, I bought chocolate for him when I'm at the airport yesterday, well, he asked me what's his birthday present  >__< I wanted to buy him perfume, but I don't like perfume.. and plus, I love his pleasantly natural body odour (each of us have body odor specifically, you'll know when you get close to each other)

The Egg Tarts Can Wait

I'm at my home in KL right now since last Friday. My sis-in-law was the one waiting for me at airport because my hubby was outstation and only will be back the next day, Saturday upon completing his job.

Usually, when my hubby is the one fetching me from the airport, he will buy me KFC Portuguese Egg Tarts because he knows that it's my favourite! I was kinda sad that night, because I miss him so much and thought if he is here he will definitely bought me the egg tarts.

So, the next day, I was anxious waiting for him to come home. I messaged him in the morning asking when he will be back and he said it will be around evening. I kept myself busy watching animes and trying hard not to check the time every five minutes :) 

I suddenly remember about my egg tarts, I was thinking to message him back to ask him to buy me the KFC Portuguese Egg Tarts before coming home that evening, but then.. I thought, he must be tired from working that morning and the long distance drive, furthermore I wanted to see him as soon as possible, so I just throw away my craving for the egg tarts. I said to myself, I still can get the egg tarts whenever I want after this, but him? I can't wait any longer to see him... The egg tarts can wait.

When I heard sudden knocks on the front door around 3pm++, my heart leapt to joy and I found my baby at the front door looking handsomely ever smiling at me. I quickly hugged him and then to my surprised, he reached my hand and gave me this box :D

KFC Portuguese Egg Tarts set of six at rm10++

 My Portuguese Egg Tarts, YUM-MEH! 

I love you, my hubby! oh, and of course you too, Portuguese egg tarts!

Rushing to the Airport!

This story took place yesterday, Friday evening.

Hubby is outstation at Johor and said that he won't be back to KL until Sunday, so that being said, my weekend trip to KL was canceled. If I were to fly on that day, my flight schedule was at 7.20pm with Fireflyz.

After work, I went straight back home and reached house around 5.10pm. I felt kinda hungry and went to kitchen to cook for dinner. I was enjoying my dinner when the phone rang. Dear hubby asked me if I were to go to airport at this precise moment, can I still make it to board the plane? Confused and checking the clock, 6.11pm. I said "I think so". So, he said "quick, pack your things and board the plane!"...and suddenly the line was cut, I was still confused of what should I do. I took a few of my clothes, make-up and put all the things in my newly bought bag laptop while waiting for another call from my hubby because I don't know either he's joking or serious. After about 2 minutes, he called again using public telephone (his phone must be battery out) but I couldn't hear his voice clearly. I tried to keep calm and listen closely to the receiver.. I heard his small voice saying "quick go to airport!" and that was that.

Quickly, I put my laptop inside my bag, put my dinner in the fridge (I don't have time to wash it, do I?), wore jeans and out to my car. The time was 6.15pm++. My flight was 7.20pm, the rule is I should check in one hour (or minimum 45 minutes) before the boarding time, so I should be in the airport before 6.20pm. The distance from my place to the airport usually will take more than 30mins. I drove as fast as I could, I saw the meter was running at 100km/hr and thank God... there was no traffic jam during that time, phew..

At one of the red traffic light, I message my husband and said that I will try my best to reach airport on time. I sent the message to make sure my husband is prepare if I missed the flight, but actually that message was also for me, to remind me not to put too much hope in this so that I won't be too sad if this whole plan goes down the drain.

I reached airport at 6.30pm, I was praying hard that the flight is delayed so I can still board the plane, obviously because I've passed the one hour checking time rules. After I parked my car, I ran towards the airport lift and because I'm starting to panic already (not that I'm calm before that, but this time I was really panic + nervous + confuse), I forgot where the check in counter for Fireflyz  (=___=)"

After wasting 2 minutes panicking (seriously, I was walking back and forth don't know which way should I go), I regained my composure and starts to think calmly. Inside, I said to myself "okay relax and think, what should I do now?". I then asked the people at the scanner counter and they said it's at Counter C. I ran to the counter only to find out there was no queue, not even one customer within 5 meter radius, but there was still people at the counter, another phew...

Then I saw, the screen above the checking counter "COUNTER CLOSED"

Panic and hoping. I said to the lady in the counter "Can I still check in?" sounded pleadedly. Another thank God... she said "yes, sure, but no bags" Relief, I said "okay". I checked the time, it was 6.35pm.

While the lady was busy registering me in the computer, my hubby was calling me but I just couldn't bring myself to pick up the phone in front of the lady because I'm scared to interrupt the lady and make her angry or something and then she won't allowed me to board the plane (I know I'm a bit silly to think like that but I was really scared, knowing now I can board the plane, I was hoping so much to see him v__v).

After I got my confirmation check-in ticket, I rushed to the first boarding gate and called my husband at the same time to tell him I've made it! At the first boarding gate, I was surprised to see a looooong queue and the police airport said to me I can jump the queue if I felt like I won't make it on time to the last boarding gate and so I jumped the queue, hahahaha... I explained quickly to the guy before me and he said okay and I said thank you. He must have seen a bit panic in my face hahaha.

Another surprised, the guy was actually heading to the same gate as me! It was so embarrassing.. I only know this after I saw him again at the last boarding gate o.o

This is one of my interesting journey to the airport and a lifetime story that will be told to my children, if I have any, in the future :)

July Hubby

At last, I'm in KL again this weekend. Hubby is back from Labuan outstation last Thursday. We went to enjoy Bak Kut Teh during lunch, it was delicious! I didn't have the mood to go to BookXcess this time, when hubby asked me if I want to go there, I answered him that I'll be waiting for their Big Bad Wolf sale!! it's this October! So, I'm going to spend a lot of money during that time! heheh, probably err rm1k, maybe?

Hubby bought me 5 chocolates! This is one of it, and the filling is yummy!~

Hubby knows I love dark chocolates! The fifth chocolate I left it at the office, it's Cadbury dark chocolate

A Noun: Distance

Once in a while, I wish to be lazy, doing nothing and writing what's in my head without deleting here and there. When this time comes around, it's because I miss the man of my life, huh.. long distance relationship is really a pain in the ass.

For the soul:~

Somehow, reading those lines... I am happy, yet sad~

Back from Double Celebration: Gawai & Wedding

I'm back!

Flight was delayed 1++ hour, we supposed to fly at 5.50pm today but delayed until 7.05pm. It was confirmed that the delay was due to technical problem, they have difficulties registering passenger details in the computer.

I reached home around 10pm, quickly unpack my things and have shower. Now, sitting on my bed, and checking facebook, I can't online this 1 week because there is no telephone line in my husband village, you have to walk downhill 300 to 400 meters to get 1 or 2 bar.

My wedding celebration was on 31st May (last minute changes, supposed to be on the 2nd June), started from 6.30pm until 8pm. Then they continue with Gawai celebration. I love my costume and my husband's aunt, aunt Pik gave me all the traditional costume to me! how sweet~ I only need to find the accessories because the accessories that I wore belong to aunt San, aunt Pik said it was hard to find the accessories nowadays as there are lesser people making it.

All in all, it all went well, I was really happy for the love and support my husband family gave me and also my family.

Wedding sneak peak - I'm nervous at this time :)

Goodnight world.

May & June Celebrations!

YaY! I'm going to celebrate Gawai for the first time as a wifey!~

Gawai is celebrated on the 1st and 2nd June in Sarawak. I'm going to Kuching this Friday evening and will meet my husband there. My family will also joining us for this year Gawai holiday-the first celebration ever. My parents and siblings will arrive on the 29th while my aunt and cousin will reach Kuching on the 30th. Originally, my mum's aunt (considered my grandma also) and my other cousin are going with us, but at last minute, my grandma has to attend her grandchild's wedding and for my other cousin, his final exam is postponed to a much later date so he has to stay back at his campus until then.

This year Gawai celebration is special because we are going to celebrate special event on the 2nd June, it's our traditional wedding at my husband side! Can't wait to wear my traditional costume.

Oh, almost forgot to wish this, too excited about my new official celebration, hehe, happy Kaamatan!~

April Fool

I reached home yesterday morning and here I am laying on my bed with my laptop and my hubby besides me, still sleeping. He just got back from work, he's working night shift starting from this week, from 7pm till 6am the next day.

I might don't have the chance to go to IKEA to buy the things that I want, because of his working hours. He goes to sleep straight away and only wake up a little bit pass noon, before he get ready to go to work again around 5pm. He made me understand this is his resting time 1pm - 5pm and prefer to stay at home. There goes my plan uh huh.

Nevertheless, hopefully Sunday morning, I'll manage to get him wake up early to go to Amcorp, at least :)

p/s: I know the title has nothing to do with what I wrote, I just feel like putting it that way (eh, looks like you've been fooled :D) Happy April Fool.
