at last, my darling walk down the stairs



Attended one of the most amazing wedding early Dec.
It was such an amazing experience and I was so happy for my bestie. I wish her nothing but the best of the world.
At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smiled, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
And you are mine at last 

( name: at last, was played when the Bride entered)

Bride's dad passing the bride to the groom, it was like 37C 



Aww, first kiss aft the ceremony. My babe is so lazy to get onto the front so some heavy cropping required for most of the photos... =.=!!!



babe get on drinking already. doesn't he look dashing. It was so hot for him and me tho. 






Me and my babes, I think I was laughing at my ever falling dress due to boobies not big enough to fill them. :( Gosh I was so happy to see my babes, we flew all over the world to this island for nini's wedding. Last time we were all together was Jan09 for popo's wedding. Too bad popo couldn't make it because Megan is anxiously waiting to pop out.







This one with nini's sis, Catherine, she is the cutest girl in the world. So adorable. 



a side snap while the photograper was at work. it was almost sunset.




Lastly, with my babe who was wearing AG wool trousers, I ditched shoes for the wedding because the only pair of shoes I brought this trip was red havs.... The dress was custom made in HK and really pretty, however I think the fabric was slightly heavy for the weather I was sweating all over while wearing the dress. Then I think it was returned as is. lols



new look for 2010

I was  playing around the blogspot tonight and found out alot of interesting features. hence the new look. 
I doubt anyone would have seen my old look blog but I certainly feel very good that I can present this one stop closer to a personal level.


I have been feeling very hm... upset? annoyed? worried for the past few days. It is almost that I am having the 'mean reds' from "Breakfast from Tiffany's" you just can't explain it. My days have quiet though. 


and just before, I spent hours browsing some blogs that was written by someone I kind of know. I think I am very obsessed with this person, well she has very good fashion sense in my eyes and at the end of the day, if you put your life out there on a blog, then people would read it. The blog hasn't been updated for a long while and I think it has moved to another blog hence me spending the next hour trying to search it. I supposed I could have just emailed/FB her and ask, but I don't want to. Is this a stupid obsession or what...


I have been trying to put together a folder with my favourite photos after my pathetic realisation that my 2009 truly sux. And then I spent hours again trying to allocate all photos to the respective folders. Talking about wasting time. My head is really having the Mean Reds. 


Time to put some favourites of mine and move on:





What else other than muffie to put a smile on my face. Taken with my new Sony T1 camera. I really hate this new camera :( it can actually takes blurry pix while the flash is on. What is with that?! 



oh my gosh too cute! the British shorthair!!!



Me and my girls at Popo's wedding, couldn't find one with nini. Search continues.

Que sera sera, what will be, will be



I was looking through all the photos that were taken in the last year and to my astonishment, I cannot recall or found many photos in 2009. I know I was away for less than a week to Tw for popo's wedding and again in Dec for another wedding. More weddings scatter throughout the year, but just myself or with baby... I cannot remember much we did. Isn't it pathetic? and here i thought we did alot because I kept on putting places we visited, restaurants we went in 07 and 08 to be part of 09. The only thing came to my mind would be Weribee mansion weekend away and that would be 2 nights.


I don't want to have my life passing by without noting events down

2009 was probably more because of my hectic work life I barely have time off

I do not wish for 2010 to be a repeat

I shall try my best to anchor my life to the direction I want

Went back to my MSN Space where I used to blog and it was so nice reading them because honestly I have forgotten so much it is almost that I am reading someone else life.

I was trying to move all the entries to blogger but this does not let me to input to the old dates and I don't want to clutter all those entries in the beginning of 2010...

Something is probably best to stay where they are.

It is quite interesting to read that I was working more and more and I actually complained about leaving work at 7pm?! how funny is this... as 7pm is a norm these days.

I had so many trips in 07, Thailand, gold coast, Sydney and the big one in the beginning of 08. That was a good year now I look back.





-------------------------------------------------------------

Even if I cannot move all the entries here, I still want to add the amazing experience at Tetsuya Sydney when we visited at Aug07



Tetsuya only offers degustation (14 courses not 10 as i remembered) for $185 p.p
On the night, Baby decided he wants to get smashed...
on no I mean, truly experience this whole thing
so we opted to have the degustation with matching wines (10 of them priced at additional $90 p.p)

KAOHSIUNG CONCERN STARY ANIMAL ASSCIATION

I just came across this website today and they are in urgent need for donation. The actual name is actually 高雄市關懷流浪動物協會 and you can read more about what they do here: www.kcsaa.org.tw/Joomla_159 I supposed it is a bit stupid to donate money all the way to Taiwan but this is an issue that touches deeply in my heart. I have to say sometimes I look at the animals in RSPCA and all those animals in need in Taiwan, the differences are huge. I wish overtime, the education system would gradually teach Taiwanese about the importance of lives not just human's own. Stop mistreat/torture these poor animals for money! They are all innocent!!

Please help. 十萬伙集,串連換飼料,延續旗山受虐狗生命!

I always feel very strongly about animals being tortured or treatly unhumanly. Sadly, where I came from, Taiwn is probably one of the worst county that treat cats/dogs like they are just things. It is mostly hurtful for me to read these news, I tend to avoid them these days because the fact I am in Australia, makes hard to offer any help other than money.

I hope by posting this would help in someway.
98年11月10日高雄市關懷流浪動物協會,從繁殖場業主手中救下了數以百計的受虐狗,殘忍的繁殖場,將銷售較差的犬種,一率斷水斷食,活活餓死……死掉後全都拖出來,小一點的就打包丟在水溝裡,大一點的就隨手將牠棄置在狗場的一角,任其腐爛….

已經死亡發臭的狗屍體
許多籠子裡的狗狗就連這樣的餿水都沒得吃

為什麼會有棉花在籠子裡呢?走近一看才驚覺這是一具只剩皮毛及不成形的屍體...

柯基、狼犬、梗犬全都擠在一起。

in 2010, she yarns for a change


it has been a while, how I wished I could write more here....

the last 2 months have been such a blur

so much happened, I always thought I am one of those people that is quite cynical, however I really opened my eyes and see how reality can be.


I have came into alot of realisation within my own life and others

Alot of time life is all about choices.... like I always said, you are who you are depending on the chices you made along the way. I have alot of thinking to do....


Attended my dearest's wedding early Dec in Paimali resort early December, it was simply breathtakingly beautiful. I didn't ball my eyes out like expected, it was more of a very long weekend packing with fun activities every day. I am so sorry to my dear bf whom I ignored quite a bit because of my work... I had a minor breakdown because at one point, right in the middle of this beautiful serene resort, all I could think about is work. Not my friends that I see barely once a year, not my baby or others. Just work. And now I just look at photos and try to remember how beautiful the whole trip was.


Another new year, a new decade. I will be heading towards the big three o this year. I have so much to look forwards to and so much I cannot wait to embark. Alot of decisions, hard or easy.... I believe I will choose my own path and I want to follow my heart.


Hello 2010, we will have lots fun together. :)
