Honeymoon Pics and Experiences

Just a little update and to share what we experienced during our honeymoon in Langkawi. We stayed at the Andaman. We nice resort, about 60km away from Langkawi's Kuah town, so we pretty much stayed at the hotel the whole time. Only drove out one day to tour the island.

Checking in

We were upgraded to a Malaysian suite. It was quite nice, but no curtains! Hahah. Lucky for us, we were on the top floor with the rainforest directly in front of us. If anyone were to see us, it would be the monkeys! Haha

Our suite
Our bed with the orchid petals

They had welcome champange, cake, fruits and canapes for us!!!

Coffee machine in the room ... Nespresso!

One thing about the hotel is that the service is excellent! It seems like everytime we went to have a meal people addressed us by name.

Enjoying the view from the fourth floor

The spa was a whole experience itself. It was a bit of walk uphill and it overlooked the ocean. We were assigned to an individual villa. Pure bliss.

Dinner at the Gulai House -- paid RM300 for our meal: Tandoori chicken, Fish, and Paneer Masala!

You haven't visited Langkawi if you did not take photos with the eagle. Heheh

Update

Things in the house have been coming together. Have been quite busy with planning and moving, and have neglected this space for a while. Some photos:

What Can I Say, What Can I Do

"I just wanna die. It's just too hard," she said.
I just stood there staring blankly at her, struggling to come out with words.
"I have nobody. Sometimes I just want to take something to end it all," she continued.
"But you have Mrs Kim who comes see you every week, and you have me," was my meagre attempt to reply her.
"Yes, I know I have you, but I don't have any family or siblings. I'm all alone here. I'm smelly and no one can give me a bath. You can't give me a bath. You wouldn't," she said as her eyes swelled.
"Well, I can't really give you a bath, there are staff here that do that, and rules to follow ..."
"Oh, stuff all that, will you still give me a bath?" she interrupted.
I sighed. I couldn't answer. I was too embarassed by the truth.
"I'm no good to anybody."
"Oh no, don't say that!" I exclaimed.
"Honestly, what good am I to anybody? Tell me honestly, am I good to anybody?" Now tears were streaming down her cheek.
I looked at her. Looked into her eyes. Tears started welling up in my own eyes. I was left speechless.

So what can I say

What can I do

But to offer this life, O God

Completely to You

House Update

We went in for our pre-settlement inspection of the new house today.

If everything goes well, we will get the keys in 21 days!

Woo Hoo ...

Let the packing and throwing away stuffs begin!

We are very thankful and blessed to be living in this area:

Sooooon

The invites will be out soon.

Please save the date.

Bridal Cupcakes

Went for our cupcake tasting today for our wedding. It was sooo pretty and yummilicious!!!

A, you're fantabulous, wonderawesome, great!!!

We decided on this design:

These cupcakes will be for the guests to bring home as bonbonnieres as well. Bought some cupcake boxes from Malaysia.

Also went for a make up trial over the weekend. So, that's two ticks! Yay! Feel very accomplished this weekend! Woo hoo ....

Bridesmaids

Thought I should update things whilst they are still fresh, so I won't forget in the end!

I finally got my bridesmaids' dresses settled! Took a while, mainly due to procrastination on my part, but it's done! Yay!

They are all different styles, as I thought should get dresses that suit them individually. Some of them did actually try each other's styles, but don't look too good.

So ... ta da!!!! The dresses will be in the colors shown, but thinking of doing some alterations, changing the sashes to the same color, either champangey-creamy or pale pink-creamy color.

T's Dress:

J's Dress:

I really wanna thank God for K and J who are so understading. Where got friends like that wan? K was too kind to let J wear the same bridesmaid dress that she (J) wore for her (K) wedding (amazingly the same color theme!). And J was super super understanding and did not mind! It actually helped save a bit of money (actually not really if I wanted to make some alterations), and also it allowed me to give the girls a better dress. I guess at the end of the day I want them to be in something that they are comfortable in and they like it.

Thank God for such great friends!
