20.11.2011

But, look what I found the day before that;




Honey Nasty Breakfast cereal :)


I do not need to plan memorable things to do, so that this awesome date will be the most memorable day forever. People got engaged & tied the knot, or maybe choose this day to lose their virginity. Because this date, is mine. whether I choose to ignore it or to do something with it.




Yes. It’s my birthday.

Don’t ever ask. I lost count. But it is definitely more than the number of candles on that birthday cake. Whatever it is, counting or not, that day will come. Botox, fillers, knife or cement (?? cementing your face?) – you still will grow old.


Well, it’s not the wrinkles & saggy fat Im worried about (um, Im half lying), but it is the events & wishes that I able to complete so that I can bring it with me as fond memories when Im old.



Hold up, about the wrinkles – I am grateful that I was born as Asian, because we ladies have 5 fatty pockets on our face, and the size is larger than non Asian, so it slows down the process of wrinkles. Go ahead. Hate Asian ladies - because we are blessed with so much more. Not to mention cuteness at the age of 40.





I always wanted to spend my special day in a meaningful way, with people that brings meaning to my life – friendship, loyalty, understanding, trust, love & respect. You can stop reading this for a while, and start counting, how many people that surrounds you holding all 6 qualities and have a good look at the same time, as mine?




It is good to be with familiar faces on this date, that laughs, stares, mean jokes



…and similar sickness where, all of you equally addicted to camera lens.
Bottom line – Comfortability. To be around each other. No matter how stressful the day is or how unfair certain things are, I always know, these faces never stood me up. They are always there, waiting, looking gorgeous at me. #iloveugirlfriends




Oh, talking about comfortable, I knew I am 100% right when I choose Hummingbirds Coffee Bar, Jalan Telawi Bangsar, for my hi tea party.



I was busy finding the right place after I changed my initial plan to do it at Carcosa Seri Negara for English Hi Tea Party. I mean, what is the next best place after such a grand venue such as Carcosa Seri Negara? Well, I didn't say that this Coffee Bar is at par with Carcosa, but if you looking for a quiet, private but decent place (decent, because it is bright, not for scandalous meeting with your "kekasih gelap") to sit down for a cuppa, with your close friends and having some conversation that everybody can clearly hear & understand you instead of loud music and smoke, this is the place.



 So, I was here, 3 weeks before my birthday with my officemate, we had tea & a slice of red velvet cake. I totally fell in love with their big velvet armchairs and chic interior. So after writing to them back and forth, I was so happy that I had no problem to book that place on such awesome date - 20.11.2011.



They have Christmas decoration going on when I had my Birthday celebration, it makes everything even more, cute & warm :)




Delicious finger foods,







It makes beautiful crowd, looks undeniably beautiful :)




Since I got a few inquiries through emails about some of the clothes that Im wearing. So from now on, I will share with the girl readers of what are those.


Top : MNG/ Tutu Skirts : Zara/ Pump Shoes: Bershka / Belt: Zara




Opening birthday pressies. Girlfriends knew that I love earrings. So, I got a lot of earrings on this year's birthday! I dont need to buy earrings for a couple of months now! #happyearringspeople.




So everything went as super smooth as the cream cheese on my birthday cake & that red velvet cupcake's . Just like I imagined, just like I wanted.




Beautiful.




..just like what I wished before I blow those candles off :  Always looks good with my new age, feels good with every little things that happen around me - so it may add up the value of who I am. And love, always love.




I've been that age. I've done that age. It is fun.


P/S: To everyone who wishes me, including belated: Thank You. On my Facebook's wall, mobile messages, inbox and in the morning when I just opened my eyes.




XXOO.
Lady Scorpio signing off, for now!

Suddenly November.

Everything is so sweet and it turn me into a girl with a sweet tooth. Sweet Cupcakes,  doughnuts, saying and hearing sweet things too.

The world is spinning so fast or it was just me who refused to move with it. Im basically halting. Im ok with it. As IF my AGE can be halted too. Delay. I love to delay things now, hoping that everything went delay, including my age. This is one of the reason why I keep on delaying to update blog post. Excuse me.

My girlfriends and I love to take pictures, hundreds of it, in a week, or month. But one of us really took time to upload & share it with all of us on Facebook. She hadn’t upload pictures taken 5 months ago, or last year. We started to complain and she replied us – “I keep it as our Forever Young Time Capsule, I will upload it and tag all of you in 10 years time and makes everybody think those were taken like yesterday. Still Hip and gorgeous”. Brilliant.

I know. Halloween is over. Like almost 2 weeks over. I saw everybody uploaded their Halloween’s make over & costume on Facebook. Some are freaking ugly and some, well, you know, fucking slutty. Aw, come on people. Can you at least be someone different than whoever you are? LOL.

Halloween Eve. So, I don’t have ugly costume. Slutty, um.. maybe

I turned up nude. I don’t know, I don’t celebrate Halloween. I don’t even know the history of it and why. But collecting candy sound fun to me. But, there was no free candy around KL city and it never will. We here have trouble to get extra packs of sugar to bake cookies for any big celebration and anything involve sugar becoming more and more expensive. So, let’s just stick to ugly & slutty costume.

Oh, I have thousand pictures from my  New Zealand trip last September. I know! September. I’ll wait it become a little bit moldy so that I can forget about what and where the pictures are all about, so that I can end up with sweet & short post with lotsa pictures.

Basically this is our route trip.

Okay, that’s too small. Um, here it is.

So yea, we started with Christchurch on Day 1, start our journey to Lake Tekapo on Day 2, visit Mount Cook and proceed to Queenstown on Day 3, laid back at Arrowtown on Day 4, on the road for the whole on Day 5 back to Christchurch and did our last minute shopping at Christchurch Airport on Day 6. Yea, nothing much you can do for 6 days/5 nights South Island Trip. But with the limited budget and limited leave approval, I finally see white & pink cherry blossom with my own eyes.

Priceless. It was early spring in South Island, so some of the cherry blossom trees bloomed early and I believed it bloomed for ME. I didn’t expect to see it in South Island NZ, because I was busy Googling and taking notes on the Lakes, Mountains and Star gazing program. I wish I could see a milky way across South Island sky, or a shooting star. In fact, I was so stupid blonde, thought that Cherry Blossom only exist in Japan, Korea and Washington DC. God knows how limited my knowledge is, so He pity me, let few trees bloomed earlier so that I can be happy till I pee. Alhamdulillah.

It is so pretty till doesn’t need a nice smell. Maybe to the locals, this is nothing, just like ‘Bunga Kertas’, maybe. But this is the reason why I wanted to go to Japan and Korea. Not some cute Hentai or Kimchi soup. So I can cross out this from my list and busy to do something else on my next year’s Osaka & Tokyo. Yipee!

And oh, apparently South Island NZ isn’t a place for shopping. Not for me. Not when a bottle of mineral water costs me MYR4. But I did buy a couple of jackets and a pair of new boots, because clothes that I brought not enough to save me from cold windy 9 degrees during the night. Im Asian. Hot blooded Asian and I hate Air Cond.

Among of all things, I find this cute and funny. So I bought this as a souvenir and gave it to someone cute and funny too

New Zealand : “Where men are men and the sheep are scared”

Apart of green rolling hills and blue snow capped mountains and glassy crystal lake, this is the sight you have to bear along the trip. 1st day, you go “awww.. look at them, so cute and fluffy…” 2nd day you only paid attention to the little ones running. Because the big ones aren’t cute anymore. 3rd day you fell asleep counting it. 4th day started to hate it. 5th day, wish there will be something else to replace those white spots, and last day, I wish to not see it for a very long time.

And the sight of blue snow capped mountains painted along the horizon line just like the paintings I saw when I was little.

and the lakes too..



Everything is magical. No paintings can ever translate or tell the story of what South Island have along the road, except um, dslr camera. Now I made you wanna go there and see it with your own eyes, do ya?
I have bunch of extremely nice photos & stories to tell. Or, maybe I’ll just post up the photos alone and let it tell. But, now, Im going to hit my pillow and continue this some other time.
xoxo.

Get out there and leave some footprints of your own~

It made me smile, somehow.

Man: Well, you still make me nervous somehow...


Lady: a 32 year old man with countless women? nervous?


Man: countless! not that many! but, yes, you make me nervous. nobody else in the world, just you


Lady: seriously?


Man: yes.
you're very pretty, and when I look at you, or smell your nice smell, I forget a lot of things
I lose track of what I'm talking about
and what I'm supposed to be doing.

Friend for the Soul

 

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

When looking at your two paws, as soon as you have decided which of them is the right one, then you can be sure the other one is the left.

Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.

They're funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you're having them.

**She afraid of dogs. So I play with any dogs on the streets, so to make it stay near my foot, until she cross the streets  

You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.

Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.

 

It's so much more friendly with two.

"Pooh, promise me you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I am a hundred."
Pooh thought for a little.
"How old shall I be then?"
"Ninety-nine."
Pooh nodded. "I promise," he said.

To find someone who is almost everything to you is harder than finding a good man. After too many heartbroken, finally I am blessed to find her at my loneliest. The feeling is like.. winning the 10 million dollars from the slot machine. 

She is special because she’s loved by me!
