Catch Up Session With High School Buddy

Hi! I had a catch up session with one of my high school buddy yesterday and I really miss her lots. For your information, she is the person sitting just right beside me during high school. LOL~ Her name is Wai Leng and I used to call her Wai Wai. I remembered the last time I met her was during my diploma year which was eventually seven to eight years ago. 

In the past she has been experiencing unfortunate things in her relationship with her ex that brought her all the way back to Singapore. But, things aren’t working out well for them and therefore, she has made her decision to fly back to Melbourne. It’s really difficult for me to meet her in the future as she has found a job in Melbourne and sooner her whole family will be migrating over.

I guess the next meet up will be unless I make a trip to Melbourne or she makes a trip back to Malaysia during my wedding day. Anyway yesterday’s catch up session was awesome because we still had so much to talk even not seeing each other for seven to eight years.

By the way, we had our dinner at a Japanese Restaurant named Sushi Tei at Tropicana City Mall and we mainly ordered sushi’s for our dinner. We had the mini dragon roll, the unagi maki, the soft shell crab maki and a prawn.

Hopefully we can get to meet each other in another one year and here is a picture of Wai Wai and me.

A picture of my edit that I uploaded in my Instagram.

I will miss you lots again.

My Wedding Bands

Hi all! I guess it’s obvious with my title right?  And so, yes, Brendan has bought our wedding rings. I have never expected that he will make his decision to buy the ring so fast but there is always a reason for making such decision definitely. LOL!!! And I totally agree with it.

We was actually making our decision whether to get a Tiffany & Co. wedding bangs or a Cartier wedding bangs, and finally after visiting those shops and putting the ring into a fit, we decided to get the trinity wedding ring from Cartier. Here’s our ring.

By right we were planning to buy our rings in Hong Kong during our wedding photography session on March 2013 as we guess the price would be slightly cheaper than Malaysia. Therefore, we decided to walk in to Tiffany & Co. and Cartier at KLCC to check out the designs and prices before we head to Hong Kong during March 2013. After fitting a few designs at Tiffany & Co., we could hardly find something that suits us therefore we proceed with fitting some designs at Cartier.

At first, I was planning to get the Love Ring which is Cartier signature ring but unfortunately Brendan doesn’t looks well in it. I guess that design is more suitable for woman than man. Then this boutique representative name Sara was really kind to introduce us another signature ring from Cartier which is the Trinity ring. Once we tried it on, it just goes well on Brendan and me. We actually did a comparison by wearing the love ring on our left hand and the trinity ring on our right hand. Even asking Sara, she said that the trinity ring looks more class on both of us.

Therefore, we took the ring serial number and get the prices to be written on Sara’s name card and told her that we will consider. Unfortunately, Sara told us, if we are really interested, we should get it before next year March 2013 as there will be a price increase. Brendan and I still insist that we will need to consider and had little discussion before we really get that ring home. But, once we step out of Cartier, Brendan asks me if I would like him to buy the ring straight. I told him it’s ok for me if you want to purchase it now or later and he tell me, “Why not just purchase it now since sooner or later we will still need to buy”. Then I was thinking it’s true as we would not want to purchase the ring with the price increased and other than that, even if we go to Hong Kong to look for the trinity ring, we cannot make an assumption that they will definitely have our sizes. If by then we plan to purchase it in Malaysia, the price will definitely been increased.

Thinking of all these concerns, Brendan pull me back into Cartier and look for Sara to get the ring home. He told me another advantage of getting our rings now is because we can wear it for our photography session in Hong Kong. Thanks to my fiancé for being so considerate and thanks Sara for the wonderful service provided.

Oh, by the way, we are not official yet. ^^

Have a nice day!

XOXO~

People to Thanks!

Hi, she’s Joanna and I would really like to thank her lots for helping me. I am actually on a crucial diet at the moment for my wedding photography session which is coming real soon. It’s been confirm that I will be taking my wedding portraits on the March 14^th, 2013 therefore, I am really stress out. It’s only a 3 ½ months away.  Joanna has been telling me that I would look 3kg fatter on camera and so she has indeed make up her mind to reduce the 3kg on me now.

She has been working out dinner menus for me and has been volunteering to jog with me every Saturday morning from 6am-7am. I really appreciate it. Hope you are reading my blog as well. “Joanna, THANK YOU!”

Oh, never to forget, I was planning on what wedding gifts should I give my guests on the actual day and Joanna actually came out with a great one for me too. It was really convincing and I love her idea so much.  I will not be exposing what it is until my actual day comes. Sorry yah guys~ Gift are always suppose to be a surprise isn’t it. LOL~

By the way, she has been telling me that my jogging pictures should be uploaded and to be written “Progress to be a Bride”.  And therefore, here is our jogging progress.

You can kind of see my face is starting to red up.

I guess we enjoyed the jogging as we actually chat all the way long and having a body guard with us all the while. LOL~ Mr Zharif! Urm.. He can so call named as our bodyguard and photographer. LOL!! Hope he doesn’t mind. LOL!!

Urm.. this picture is kind of blur because I’m using my front camera from my iPhone. 

And, this is just us fooling around.

I am really super hot! Sweating like crazy~

Anyway, I would also thanks my colleagues who have been giving me supports on my dietary and even sending me some aerobics and body jam videos for me to work out. “Amy & Zhariff, THANK YOU!” 

Never missing out, my sister has been giving me support as well. I have been telling her that my weight drop by a 0.5kg and she ask me to keep it up. I am really happy to have so many supporters around. “SIS, THANK YOU!”

Hopefully I won’t disappoint all of you and hopefully I can persist myself to be more tough on my diet. 

Have a nice day!

Bye!

My Proposal on 4 November 2012

Hi guys! I am engaged three weeks ago and it was totally unexpected.

Friends who had already listen to my story telling will definitely feel bored when you read this blog but if you don't mind, just read it again folks!! It’s my happiest day of all~ I WANT TO SHARE!! LOL!!

Although it happens three weeks ago but whenever I think of how he planned everything for my birthday and the proposal, I am really very touch. I should say planned for the proposal only because the birthday celebration was a pre-plan trip. We had already planned to go to Legoland and Hello Kitty Town throughout the weekends in Johor. LOL!!!

On the day of my proposal, we went to Hello Kitty Town, Johor and were there until 3pm. After that, we left Hello Kitty Town and headed towards Singapore. It took us about 45 minutes to reach our hotel at Singapore and I still remember that it’s hardly even 4pm yet when we were at our hotel rooms. Therefore, I told Brendan that I need to take a nap because I am really super exhausted after a day fun at Legoland and a whole day walking at Hello Kitty Town. He took a nap as well because I believe he is exhausted too because he needs to drive for the whole trip.

When the clock strikes 5pm, we woke up and Brendan told me that he wanted to wash his hair and re-style his hair. It’s sort of weird for me because the previous day when we were at the hotel after our Legoland trip, he doesn’t even have the intention to re-style his hair for dinner after taking his shower. But, at that moment, all I thought was maybe he wanted to be at his best condition to celebrate my birthday with me. Therefore, he drove all the way to Singapore Flyers to have my birthday dinner celebration.

We went to Seafood Paradise for our dinner and these are the foods we ordered.

Aaahaa~ You saw the yummy butter crab? That was my favorite among all dishes. I think both of us are kind of weird because we also had crabs on Valentine Day. I thought Valentine dinner supposed to be romantic but we always end up having our dinner at Seafood Restaurants. Luckily Brendan didn't put that ring inside the crab to surprise me. LOL~ Else I think I would have swallow it into my stomach. LOL~ 

After the wonderful dinner, Brendan asked me if I would like to take a ride on the Flyers. I told him to check out for the prices and it’s really not cheap at all because it cost us about SG$33 per person. Before I get to answer him, he told me that, “Why not we just take a ride, I don’t earn much income last time but now I start to earn more. Let me just take you for a ride.” The reason why he told me that he doesn’t earn much income last time is because he used to work in Singapore for a year. In the past while he was working in Singapore, I used to visit him monthly and he will take me around for foods and shopping. At that time, we did go to Singapore Flyers and that’s where we had our Valentine dinner. LOL! For a newbie who just started working in Singapore, SG$33 it’s definitely pricey so we decided not to take the ride.

But anyhow, I still finally get to take a ride at Singapore flyers and at that moment when he told me to take the ride, I was still not aware that he is going to propose because all I thought was he is just trying to make me happy on my birthday. I feel nothing special throughout the ride but another weird thing is that he actually wanted just both of us in the Ferris wheel but indeed, there are quite some people behind us so we end up with six people. There are another couple, two aunties and us.

The whole ride was really quiet throughout because everybody is enjoying the night view outside. During the ride, Brendan was all the while hugging my waist behind me and both of us were also enjoying the night view outside. 

When the Ferris wheel is going to reach to the top point, Brendan told me that he wanted to tell me something. All I thought was just a birthday wish so I just say “Yes?” Then from my right side below my waist, Brendan suddenly held out a ring and I was totally freak out. He told me, “Actually I wanted to make our proposal romantic by just having both of us in the Ferris wheel but unfortunately I can’t. However, I will need to kneel on my knees since it’s a proposal.” Therefore, he knelt down and he said, “Stella Kok, will you marry me?”

I burst out in tears and say, “Yes.” Do you all know while Brendan was on his knees, the two aunties behind was whispering saying, “Oooo, someone is proposing, someone is proposing.” LOL~ I was still feeling over excited so I was hugging Brendan all the time while my tears were still non-stop flowing. He kept on help me to wipe off my tears with his hands and I just can’t wait to tell my parents and friends about my good news.

Overall thing that make my tears flow non-stop is because Brendan really surprise me deeply and for him to lower down his self-esteem to kneel down on his knees really shows his sincerity of the proposal. I love you much too.

A picture of me in the Ferris wheels after the proposal and with my ring on.

I have sleepless night on that day feeling still so excited. I had told my engagement to my sister and few of my closest friends that night and I posted my engagement on my Facebook wall the following day to notify all my friends and relatives. Thanks to all that congrats me on my wall and who wishes me for my birthday. I am really having a great day and enjoyed my day to the max. 

By the way, when we went home to the hotel, Brendan did explain why he choose this ring for me and I was really shocked that he has already bought this ring a few months ago in Hong Kong without me notifying at all. He told me that there are four hearts grabbing hold of the diamond which means he wants to grab hold of my heart forever. I tell you honestly my heart melted to the deepest for whatever he did.

This is my proposal ring from TSL.

and this is the box that he used during the proposal. 

Try to see if you can spot the heart that is grabbing the diamond.

Bye!!!

Enjoy your day!!

Legoland, Malaysia

Hi! I am finally back from my short vacation and I'm super exhausted now. But no worries about it cause my blogging spirit is still super active. LOL~ By the way, as written on my post, I am going to blog on my experience in Legoland, Malaysia. Previously I have read on some reviews saying that Legoland it's more for kids below 12 years old and most of the rides are not fully open yet but I am sort of  "force" to go there because it's my birthday so Brendan intended to take me there to have a look.

If you are planning to go there, remember to get your tickets online because the original tickets is RM140 but if you purchase online, there is a discount of 25% which is RM105. You will just need to print out your tickets and walk straight to the entrance. This is how your tickets suppose to look like.

By the way, every time we go outstation, we will definitely drive through Mc Donald's to purchase our morning breakfast. Our all time favorite is always "Sausage Mc Muffin with Egg". Snap a picture to tempt you guys.

Here's our Hash browns.

Brendan is setting up on the GPS.

And, I am already half way eating up my burger. Therefore, I decided to cam-ho before the burger is totally gone into my stomach. LOL!!!

This is just another shot of me while Brendan was driving and I was just too bored beside. Anyway, can you guys spot what is he hugging. LOL!!! It's my tortoise plush. 

After almost a 3 hours ride from Kuala Lumpur, I finally get to see our arrival destination signage on my left.

Taadaa~ It's us at Legoland. This is the main entrance to the park.

I ask Brendan to post exactly like the lego statue.

Here are some other shots taken while we were in Legoland, Malaysia.

Anyway do I looks like a bee with yellow and black stripes pull over? LOL~ Brendan ask me why do I dress up like my niece.

Actually I was just trying to match the Lego theme! Lego is always mainly yellow and red color right? LOL!!!

We are queuing up for the roller coaster ride and it's so hot~

 During the queue you will get to see these big board explaining their acceleration, braking system, safety shell & suspension.

Our cam-ho session during the queue~ Just look at the people behind us~ 

Anyway this is the Mastermind building where the kids can build anything with the lego provided inside.

Although it's meant for kids but we both went in to enjoy some air condition because it's really super hot outside. 

This is the entrance to the Dragon Apprentice roller coaster ride.

During the queue, there is this section for kids to play lego.

After that we headed to Miniland.

The penguin is so CUTE!!!

Imagination World~

We had our meals here and the food was really not bad. We ate pizza and garlic bread at Pizza Mania and it taste GOOD!

After filling up our tummy, we queue almost 1 hour for the 4D motion master. I tell you, if you are here, you must watch the 4D motion master. It's great! It's almost a 30 minutes show. I thinks this 4D motion master is even better than the one I saw at Dream World, Gold Coast.

All the lego statues at Imagination World.

I ask Brendan to take a picture with the giraffe butt cause I realize there is totally no crowds there. Duh~ who will wants to take picture with giraffe butt~ LOL!!! He is an exceptional because he was force to. LOL!! Anyway he looks as if he has a tail too in this picture right? LOL!! It's actually my bag.

Guess where is he rushing....

TO GET HIS SNACKS!!! LOL!!

There are other entertainments in the park. Those plush are freaking cute!

We didn't queue for this ride because we didn't want to get wet. =p

Anyway we headed to another ride and these are the pictures to my end.

Have a great day if you guys got to Legoland, Malaysia.

Bye!
