Tummy no good

Sorry ya. After so long, I come back and the first post is not about yummy food or nice experience. Please read it when your tummy is not full k. It might cause you nauseousness.

I think my tummy must have gone haywire again. It's kinda like a symptom for my menses every month. Right before the cycle starts, my tummy will give me signs of aching, uneasiness, or even gassy. Like yesterday, it was so gassy after my lunch I thought I'm going to be sick. The gassy-ness is not the normal one, it's more of a needle poking from inside right thru my heart. If you were here, you would have seen my face turn green one moment and blue the very next. I couldn't think of the solution so I thought if the gas is out, then everything will be fine. True enough, once I went to toilet, squatted and as the air gradually released, I immediately felt so much better. Today it attacked me again. This morning, I had my usual big call from nature right before lunch. Well, everything must have settle after right? No. The tummy started growling again right after lunch. It's not the hungry growling but more to tummy discomfort. I settled the another big call which turn out to be not so normal. It felt more like eating wrong stuff nature call. Till now, my tummy is still not in its best state. Hopefully by tomorrow when my menses start, it will be better.

Please come back

I just can't wait for my lovely cam to come back. I missed it so so so much. It has traveled overseas for almost two weeks now. With him not anywhere within my reach, I have left out so many pictorial memories....I swear I will not give in to anyone else when they want to borrow it in future.....

Face - what does it indicate?


Her features:
High forehead
Broad nose
Pointed chin
I looked at this and I could say this is my shape. I used to hate my nose shape. It's like those jambu air shape, exactly like Dad. Now after reading this, I couldn't help but agree with the nose statement. It says,
"Her nose indicates she will attract a good man into her life and he will have the money to shower with good things"
That's what Hubs is doing. He's doing anything and everything to make our life a financial freedom one. This does not mean he will not work anymore but more to working on a passion and does not have to worry on how to survive. I just love my nose now...

A dream

Last night I dreamt that I was in a villa with huge swimming pool. I had change into my bikini underwear but top it with a loose t-shirt. I couldn't remember the whole story vividly but one part was very clear. I dived into the pool and after a short swimming to the surface, I emerged and fly like a butterfly just slightly above the water. Then continued to dive again from the flying post. This time however, as much as I swam, I couldn't reach the surface. I know I"m running out of breathe but I just couldn't emerged again. It feels like diving into the sea bottom and it has to take a few minutes to get to the top again. Hard as I kicked, I 'm slowly losing my breathe and feels as if I'm choking to death. With that, I woke up with a heart beating like crazy. Never had I experience this kind of dream before. And I don't know what does it trying to show. Am I drowning silently in real life?

A night without Hubs

Every time Hubs away for some business trip, I'll be going back to Mum's place for the night. So I did not feel the sense of lost every time he was not here. Last Sunday was an exception. As I mentioned in the earlier post, I went out and became a helper till after dinner around 9pm+. I drove all the way back to Air Itam from ParkRoyal Hotel. It took almost half hour to 45 mins. By the time I reached home, I was too tired to pack the stuff and go to Mum's place for a night. I took a good bath, rest awhile watching the HK Award and pop into bed in less than 30 mins. While in bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't find a good spot to sleep on. The bed was too huge for me. This is the first time I slept on our queen size bed ALONE. I could find myself woke up in the middle of the night being turned almost 90deg from the initial position. I was restless for the while night. There's no one for me to snuggle up or steal my blanket while I was sleeping. I know Hubs will be away more often now that he's going into his new job. I just hope my road to freedom will be shorten and we will have more time to together and when he travels, he will take me along too ;)

Joining

Sunday was a memorable day for me particularly. This was the first time I joined in FX1 course as helper. I went there with the intention to take a peep at Hubs and probably a hug as bonus. Never did I imagine I will be dragged in as helper. I started my day with good facial and after that drove all the way to ParkRoyal Hotel to meet up Hubs. Coincidently, it was almost time for lunch so I waited for a few minutes at the lobby. When all the students came out from the room, there he was, my gorgeous Hubs directing them like a traffic police ;p He took me in to their wrap up session ( with fellow trainers and helpers). As I stood there waiting for Hubs to finish the wrap up, Chris, one of the speaker suddenly said, "If she's going to be helper, she need a shirt". I was dumb stroke. I was just merely visiting. But since I have the opportunity, I might as well take it. Indeed it was a good choice.

We participated again in the joining session. Initially, I was reluctant to do it. The last time we did that, I cried and cried like a desperado. The purpose of the session is to let your mind do the flashback or flashforward. Unconsciously you see the things you've long forgotten and memories don't even want to remember. You could see what you have been holding back and it will give you a breakthrough and get you going further without the burden. I was afraid to face it again, for fear that my life is mostly of sadness. However, being instructed to do so, I did that reluctantly. I looked deep into Hubs eye searching for what there is to be searched. I found that I was thinking more of the good thoughts. How Hubs has been working so hard to make it work for him and me, for our future to be a financial independent, and that we'll have little ones and everything nice. I gave tears to all those thoughts. And surprisingly, this was the first time I ever see Hubs shed tears. Rolls and rolls of tears just glided down his gorgoeus face. I could see his invisible frown but I guess my happiness just drown his. Even the speaker who went around giving support could sense my happiness so strong that he saw my face glowed. All I could say is I'm so blessed to have that session again. I know we are on the right track, road to happiness and success. All this I have to thank my lovely Hubs.

This few days

Just to update, this few days I've been busy doing something I've procrastinated for so long - editing my wedding video. Wedding has passed more than 100 days but my video has yet to be given out to my chi muis and heng tais and all those who are interested. The videographer which I engaged for my wedding does not include editing them into MTV like. Whatever he captured, he will put them straight into a cassette and eventually burn a copy of DVD for us. I saw so many others has their highlight moment edited into MTV and I wanted one. Well, since I paid >1k for my video, I'll have to do it on my own. Indeed I have to rip the .VOB file into .WMV file in order to play around with sounds and effect. The quality was not that good anymore but at least I can do it the way I want. And I'm proud to say it turned out good. So far, I've finished with 4 main highlights, 3 more to go. But I'm having problem posting them up to youtube.com. I kept editing the video and save them in different file name, now I have to search which one is the final copy and which one to discard. I've posted the wrong one on youtube once and now in order to post something similar, I have to remove it first. Sigh.... I should have been more organized.

A date with Hubs

Hubs just asked me to make myself free this weekend. He's dating me. The details will be kept a secret and he definitely loves to see how I beg him to let the cat out. Oh, this is exciting but at the same time, the suspense is killing me. Previously, I told him to check with our hotel coordinator for the bridal suite which we have yet to used. I'm wondering if there's where we will go but he also just told me it was unavailable this weekend. Hmm....is he lying or has he plan something else on his mind? Will it be a romatic gateaway?
Btw, we are starting to try conceiving. Hope this will be a good start. Wish us luck!

Guilty

Two nights ago FIL asked if we will be coming home for dinner the night after. Hubs said yes but I longed to go home. FIL said something bout tapao-ing roasted pork, definitely no where in my favorite list. I could not say it right there and then that I wanted to go back my home, what IL will think right? So most of the things I have to go thru Hubs. The next day, which was yesterday, I told Hubs I want to have dinner with Mum. He nagged a bit cause I should have told him earlier instead of asking his mum to cook. He made a call home to let MIL know we will not be having dinner at home. Everything settle but not on FIL side. Apparently he went to Balik Pulau with his gang and he bought not only roasted pork, but also crabs and other stuff. When we reached home last night, as usual he was down there with his gang. And MIL didn't say anything about it. This morning as we were about to leave for work, PIL mentioned that we said wanna come back for dinner but didn't show up. All the stuff he bought has to be distribute to neighbors. I felt so guilty. It doesn't help when Hubs gave me the look- see-you-should-have-said-earlier-look. Till now I'm still feeling a ping of guilt. Sorry!

First Goodbye

This will be the first thing I say goodbye to in year 2008. Vision corrected, so they are not in use anymore. Introducing......

1. My faithful glasses - it has followed me thru almost 4years, burning midnight oil when I was studying for my numerous exams in uni time, companion in office when my eyes got infected (those ugly looking moment)
2. contact lens - they are the one that made me look beautiful naturally, preserving my big lovely eye (an envy to all-i mean my eyes)
3. solutions - a mini one for travelling and the large one for daily use

A vision thru my eyes for the past few years........


My complete new vision

It's only fair that I share what I promised to share last night before I went to bed ;p All happen is less than half hour and I'm out. Haha...you must be blur now and think I'm talking craps. Ok, I'll start from the beginning.

On Wednesday, I went to iLaser Center@Island Hospital for my pre-laser operation. As I was very busy previously, I didn't have time to slow down and get my anxiety started. So there I was, sitting at the waiting area while they process my registration. Then a pretty lady took over my form and performed 3 tests before passing me over to the optometrist. Ms Lim, the optometrist went on to check my vision power and answer several question. Along the process, drop after drop of eye drops made their ways into my precious eyes. Purpose? To make my cornea bigger, to cleanse, to ......(fill in the blanks). All I know was my eyes felt slight sting feeling. Well, beauty took over my conciousness. So more test to go. She walked me over to the other clinic, Dr. Adrian Chan's center. The moment I walked in, WHOOO! So many people. Most of them are not local; i.e. Indonesian (rich ones). Even when I was in iLaser Center, there was another Indonesian girl accompanied by her parents. By the way the dressed and talked, definitely not ordinary people. Sometimes I wonder how come the Indonesians can come and do regular check up as if they are here for holidays while some others have to come over and worked their life as maids. They financial gaps must be very huge.

Sorry, off track a bit. While in the clinic, Ms. Lim proceed to test the thickness of my cornea. A normal one is around 550 while mine is only 512. Barely near the normal level also. So I have no choice for to opt for the custom lasik, which cost 2k more than the normal one. Well, I have already planned to go for the custom one even before I know the thickness of my cornea. I felt that eyes are my precious, so paying a lil more to have my security is worth it. Dr. Adrian peformed another series of test and gave the green light for me to undergo the operation.

Fast forward two days, I got myself ready and reached there around 1.40pm for my 2pm appointment. Upon reaching there, Ms. Lim proceeded to clean my eyes. By that time, my heart was beating slightly faster than normal already. Luckily Hubs was with me all along. Doc arrived and signalled for me to go in. A look from the iLaser reception area, the place is very small. But the operation room is HUGE! I was leaded by the nurse dress in cover up (with mask, shower cap, and everything) to get me into the same thing. She cleanse my eyes so many times, I barely feel anything anymore after that, as if the medicine is to make my eyes numb. All the while, I was told to focus on the red dot on the wall. It was a practice as that was what I was going to do for the rest of the operation. Although doc explained the whole process before I was lead to the theatre room (where the operation will be held), I still felt ahem....scared. Immediately after I lied on the bed, my eyes have to focus on the red light.

The first thing he did was cover up the rest of my face, only leaving a hole for my right eye. He even put a stick over my right eye to stick my eyelashes before a thong-like thing pull my eye wide open. So that will be my position from the beginning till the end of the right eye process. More cleaning was done and then a quite heavy object was place on my eye. The feeling was like my eyeball was being sucked out and my vision when from very bright to completely dark. As doc had explained earlier, it didn't freak me out. Upon confirmation that my vision is complete dark, I can feel that a movement of semi circle on my eyeball. From research, it was to cut open my outer cornea. Then the flap was open to a side. On the count of 1,2,3, the laser was shot into my eyes for the first time. There are a total of 4 times all together. After the 4th laser shot, the flap was closed back and more cleaning was done. Doc used a spatula thing to make sure it was at the original place; i.e. the inner cut match the location of the outer cut. After that, we had waited for 2 minutes, with me still focusing on the red light. I totally dare not move or make a sound throughtout the whole process. I was very scared if anything goes wrong, I might be blind for my whole life. So if the red light was to be my focus, so be it. After what feels like 2 hours (actually it was only 2 minutes), finally the thing-like thing was removed and I was told to slowly close my eye and open again SLOWLY. Making sure everything was fine, my right eye was put to rest with a bandage put over it. Then it was my left eye's turn. The whole process was repeated exactly the same. However this time, I could feel that my eye ball was sucked out more than my right one and the laser shot had a burning smell. Eww...

Immediately after Doc released me from the bed, my vision has improved, probably from -0.6 to -0.3. I could see clearer than before. But as I know it's not good to strain the eye immediately after that, I tried to close my eyes as long as I can. I was leaded back to Hubs and waited 30 mins before Doc examine my eye again. After seeing Doc for the last time for that day, I was dimissed and went home. I tried to sleep as much as I can but I don't have to try hard. As I was worn out from the OT a few days before that, I sleep from 4pm to 8pm. Woke up for awhile and continued again till the next morn 8am.

The moment I opened my eye for the first time, I was completely happy I can fly. The vision is exactly like when I wear contact lens, which means me vision is near perfect already. Although not yet 20/20, it was way better than Hubs. FYI, he has power or -0.1. Went back to iLaser Center for another round of check up. This time Doc praised it. I'm not so sure if he praised my eye's recovery or he praised his hand work ;p No matter who he praise, I'll have to thank him from the bottom of my heart for my improved vision. I'm a satisfied customer and a happy person. No more blur vision when I hug Hubs at night.

Well, all this happen without a pain in my eye. Not before, not after. Only a slight discomfort when the eye ball is being sucked out and when I open my eyes for the first day. It felt as if I'm wearing an invisible ontact lens and it dried out, leaving a notch between my eye and the lens (if you get what I mean).

New vision

Oh, I almost forgot. My vision correction operation is a success. I'm so gald that I've done it and now I'm totally off my specs and lens. Does it hurt? How was the whole process? Does your vision get 20/20? Well, I'm going to answer all this in the new post. As of now, I shall rest my precious eyes. Night night.

Whole day with monster

Ok, so I am suppose to rest for a whole week before I'm allow to go anywhere near my laptop. But I could not stand it any minute longer. Today is my 2nd day on MC (Friday was my first). I did NOTHING at home. Woke up around 8.30am just in time to send Hubs off to work. Then lazy around with the lil monster (MIL is taking care of a SIL's SIL's kid). She can be so adorable and cute one minute and a big ugly monster the next second. The whole day spend with her was nothing but headache. She's the hyperactive type, screaming and dancing and singing all day long. The only time she'll be quiet is when she's sleeping. Even in the bathroom, you can hear her voice down in the hall. Forever demanding to see this DVD and that cartoon, questioning Why? Where? and so on. And recently she starts to intrude our lil love nest. She'll move her pillow, bolwster and blanket to our bed and start jumping around. Being the nice lil Mik (that's what she calls me), I would never scold her. But today I started to show color. At times, she can be sweet as an angel. I was chasing after the drama series which Hubs bought last night so that I won't be bored at home. And she went on like this...

Monster: Mikkkkk.....(with her manja voice)
Me: Yes?
Monster: Pleaseeee, I want to see GongXi GongXi (CNY DVD). Pleaseee put for me pleaseee...
Me: (heart totally melt)

My only joy was waiting for Hubs to come back home. But as I waited and waited till 6pm, I could wait no more. I called Hubs only to know that he's still in the office settling his work. Sigh...I'm so bored. He came home and after dinner, we had our private moment in our love nest. I thought since US market is closed today, we'll have time to catch up and be mushy. Chatted bout baby's stuff for awhile and Hubs fall asleep. As I'm blogging now, he's already in his dreamland. I don't know. He said he only got to sleep at 2-3am this morn. There it goes, 4 hours for me with Hubs. And tomorrow US market is open again. Probably another 4 hours or less for me.

Last Word

As mention in previous post, today is my operation day. I'ts just 3 hours away and I wanna share my feeling. Actually it was scheduled to be 3pm but this morning, the nurse called up to move my appointment earlier. Better still, I thought. Then I will be able to see faster ;p As I'm given MC today, I don't have to come to work anymore. Somewhere, being over responsible person, I came in to get some work done so I can rest peacefully - ahem...not that RIP kinda rest peacefully(touch wood). My mind will have dozen of stuff flying around if I didn't get them done. And it will cause me anxiety. So, coming back to my feeling. Only one word can describe - EXCITED! It's been so long since I can see clearly without glasses or contact. I longed for this moment for...I forgot how long. Now that the moment is near, I just can't wait for it to come. Keep your hands together and pray for me ya.

As for next whole week, I'll forbidden to touch the PC. So blogging will have to be put on hold. The next time you see me blogging, You can be sure I have 20/20 vision. Bless me!

New year, new vision

I am not going to go thru the boring new year mission, vision, whatever -sion you think of. This is the vision- eye sight. Yup, I thought I could keep it a secret until everything is over and I can sit here without my glasses. Oh, how I dread looking in my glasses. A few years back, I went to shop for a pair of new glasses with my girl friend. The glasses were going on RM99 for a pair. How cheap! Indeed it will be that cheap IF your eye power is not that high. Mine was a whooping -0.55 at that time. So with the super thin lens, multi-coated, and others, it topped up to be RM260 for a pair. Tell me about how cheap. Since I'm a contact lens person, my glasses will not make its appearance to public unless under special unavoided moment; i.e. after too long wearing contact lens, at night at home, and the one I dread the most, eye infection.

Half year ago, I went to Bangkok and got myself infected AGAIN. So I was warned to be off contact lens for at least one month. However, constant nagging from Hubs had me promise to only wear contact lens when I'm not working. For the first few months, I feel that's my ugliest moment of my life. I don't dare to walk around in the office. As soon as I step into office, I'll head straight to my cube and be in there till off work. Now I'm getting used to wearing glasses, I still feel ugly.

Many people had made comment on my glasses, asking me to get a new one. But NO! I told them. Secretly, I had made decision to get vision correction. I was planning to do it sometime around March, after my project is complete. But things don't always go the way we plan it to be. My projects was put on hold and I was moved to another super hectic project. And all the hectic moment will last till JUNE/JULY! That is totally not cool. So schedule change, plan change. I called up iLaser@Island Hospital and after a list of question, I set the date for check up and operation. I had my check up yesterday. Everything is fine. And I'm ready for my operation on tomorrow. After that, I'll be taking my own sweet one week time to rest at home. As for my super hectic projects, it can't affect my decision anymore. My life does not resolve around my job. I got to do what I like first before I do what I have to.

MIA

Lately the project I'm working on is on very tight schedule. So in order to meet the deadline, I'll have to put in extra effort and less on blogging. Otherwise I'll have to cross the "DEAD LINE" myself. So please pardon me if you seen me MIA (missing in action). I'll resume my blogging when I come back, probably next month as I have something big coming on next week. I won't have access to any electronic communication on that period. Sayonara!

Cold war again?

Went back to mum's place for dinner today. Did the usual routine and sat down to take a rest while going thru the cook book. I had wanted to cook for Hubs for so long but just didn't get to do it. First reason, I don't know how to shop for those ingredient in the book. They all just sound so alien to me. Secondly, I don't own a kitchen yet. Since I was staying with PIL, I just leave the cooking for MIL. As I was flipping the pages, Mum asked me to pour 'cold tea' for Hubs. Being lazy at that time and wanted to 'teh' Mum, I asked Hubs to get it himself. Reason being him asking me to do it myself when I'm at his house. But after much pestering from Mum, I ended up getting Hubs a glass of it. I could see that Hubs was not happy at that time already. How? His blacken face was so significant. I tried to talk to him but his just sort of ignored me. He complained that he felt I was complaining to Mum. And Mum might think he's ill treating me at his house. I totally have no such meaning. I mean, he always tell me to not be paiseh and get the things myself. But here he is, expecting me to do it for him. I know it's necessity for wife to take care of husband but then, there are times when the wife is lazy too right?
This is not the first time I'm receiving this cold treatment. He could go on to ignore me for quite sometime. I recall that most of the time when I'm not happy with him, I'll be ok in very short time. I'm starting to wonder a few possibilities.
When he's angry.....
1) Am I not sensitive enough to care for his feeling? That's why he's always agitated by me?
2) Is he getting more and more sensitive that small jokes will turn into serious argument?
When I'm agree...
1) Was he so good that he knows me inside out, thus I don't have chance to be agitated for long? Or was he a good persuader that always manage to cool me off easily?
2) Am I quite a care free person that I don't keep those small small things in heart for long?
The answer to this I have to find. I really don't know how to keep myself from getting into hot water. I had made my must-do list for 2008 and one of them is to be a good wife. Now I'm worry how I can be one when Hubs is always agitated by me....sigh

The Last Day of 2007

I had so much to blog after the one day holiday and no pc for me. I really have to blog on my very last day of the year. It all started like this....

Most of the people is taking 31st Dec off since it's a Monday and 1st Jan fall on Tuesday which means they will have a total of 4 days holiday. As for me, I'm trying to save on my annual leave and thus I went to work even though I felt so lazy. Since my lunch kaki was not here, I went for lunch with Hubs at Kg Jawa. We met up with another 2 friends there. Hubs warned me bout the food there and told me the nicest is the chicken rice and Char Kuey Teow. So I gave a deep thought and went with the chicken rice. I mean, no matter how bad, the chicken rice will not be as bad since it's just roasted chicken and rice. It turned out I was so wrong. The chicken was the worst I've ever had. I could not imagine a roasted chicken could taste so yucks! After lunch we went to Public Bank to open a new account. RHB was not giving a good service, I planned to terminate it and get a new bank. The number on the screen was 3047 and mine was 14 people away. We waited for almost 30 mins to get to my turn and another 10 mins for them to approve my bank book.

Half a day gone. Since it was already late, I dropped Hubs off at his office and drove back to mine. When I reached office it's almost 2pm. Upon getting off from the 16 years old Satria, I heard some hissing noise and smoke smell. Went on to check the front portion of the car and found that the noise was from inside and so was the smell. There were spots of yellow liquid too. Immediately, I went back into the car to check the temperature level but it showed normal. I thought everything was normal since I seldom check the car after driving.

In the office, I checked my mail to see that my blocks I was working were not error free yet and I had to wrap up that very day. One by one, I tried to solve and without realising, it's already 4.30pm. I promised Hubs to go home earlier bur seeing this problem, I'll be thankful if I can go back by 5pm. Hubs called to remind that we haven't buy the flower bouquet for tomorrow's mass wedding. Oh Sh*t! Will the florist be able to prepare the bouquet in such a short notice? Heck, better worry about my blocks first. Immediately after checking in all the blocks to server, I speed off to fetch Hubs. After driving for not more than 10m, the car decided it's time to rest for the year. Hubs saw the temperature shot up till "H". Stopping by the road side, he called for help to friends and SIL. Lucky thing, one of his friend was working just a building away from where we parked our car. So that's where we get the water supply for the tank. Apparently, the tank was so empty we had to fill more than 3L of water. Suspecting that the tank was leaking, we had the car parked back at the office and took SIL's car instead. Then after dropping her off at her house, we went in search of a nearby florist. Ideal florist located at iAvenue was our savior. We got the flower in less than 30 mins.

After a hectic day, we went to bed earlier and waited for the firework to go off. We did not welcome the new year in a very good way. Earlier on, I snapped at Hubs but then I had already cool off. While having a heart to heart talk on the bed, I was jokingly turn away from Hubs but he got the wrong signal. I was expecting him to come over and hug me but he turn his back instead. This was not a good sign. I was trying to figure out what went wrong and at the same time felt hurt that he had his back to me. That was one thing I dislike the most. What felt like an hour long cold war was actually just 10mins or so only. I knew he was not feeling any better than me, so I went over and apologize to him. After getting out what's in our heart, we felt so so so much better. Reconciled and after wishing each other Happy New Year, we got our rest to prepare for the next day to be legally married.

Birthday @ TGIF

29th December 2007. That marked the day Dad turn 58. All this while, I didn't take notice of Dad. He's been my dearest daddy for the pass 24 years. I really wonder how we are all so close to Mum but there's a small gap between us and Dad. Mum is the on who constantly nagged, beat, scold, nag, beat, scold, nag....yak yak yak. I'm repeating myself cause that's Mum is. On the other hand, Dad is a more quiet and stern type. Anything that Mum can't handle, she will send us to Dad. As a police officer, he used to show us the strict, no-fooling-around face and that never fails to stop our mischievous.

Today, we are all married but my youngest sister. Dad is now a retiree and goyang kaki at home. He's been faithfully growing his tummy everyday. The only time he cut down on his diet was a month before my wedding, so he could get into his 10 years old pant. It was not an easy job but he managed to lose a few cm just to squeeze in and zip up. Lucky for him, the pants did not give way that night.

The celebration was at TGIF on Saturday night. We pre-booked table for 9 and told them it's for Dad's birthday. They have a tradition to sing birthday song to the birthday boy/girl and had them standing on the chair. It's good that they check with us and we requested for him to stand up only. After the desserts was cleared. they brought in a slice of cake with a lighted candle. Almost all the crews gathered at our table to sing the birthday song. What left us laughing so hard was the rap after the birthday song. A line of it was, " Someone here is getting old!" Definitely Dad is getting old. But for a 58 with 3 daughters married and a grandson on his way, and all his family members celebrating his birthday for him, he's a one happy honored Dad.

Happy 58th Birthday, Dad!

Happy Marriage, my dear Alice

I just gotten to know last Saturday that my sales assistant from my bridal house was getting married the next day. Which means 30th December. Which also mean the same day as my second sister. Which absolutely mean they let out the secret accidentally. We, customers were not suppose to know about it as the bride wanted to be low profile. But now that we know, we are very happy for her.

Congrats and happy marriage, Alice!
