Blogging

.... is something that I have not done for quite a long time.

So this is just a 'Hi! How are you! Bye!' post. I need to summon my blogging mojo before I can blog normally. My goodness! Blogging is not even normal to me nowadays!

By the way, I would like to inform my blogger friends that I will turn the.. the.. what do we call that thing that asks you to rewrite random words to prove that you're not a drunk alien? Yes, that! Because anonymous people spammed me. Dislike.

Okay. That's all for now!

Adios amigos.

Semporna

I am now in Semporna. Everything is going back to normal. However, shops close as early as 5.30pm. Do I feel scared? Yes!

Protect me O Lord.

My pre-wedding photos

Hello!

Today, I would like to share my pre-wedding photos with you as well as introducing the great man behind all these photos.

I have 50 pre-wedding photos but I will only upload 10 of them. These 10 are my favourite.

Okay. Here we go.

One cute photo of Bruno. I never imagined in my wildest dream that he would do a pose like this!

Whoopsie!

One direction.

At St. Michael's Church, Penampang. It was raining!

Ikan-ikan duyung berdating.

Look at the raindrops! I love it.

Again. Another shot in the rain.

You and me against the world.

My most favourite! This is the framed one displayed at the entrance of the KDCA Hall during our wedding reception. And it's now on the wall in our bedroom :)

I feel princess-y.

I did a lot of complaining during the photoshoot but not regarding the photographer nor the crew members. I complained about the weather. It was raining, the sun was hiding behind the dark clouds. Gloomy day. I afraid the photos wouldn't turn out well. However, the photographer and crew members kept on convincing me that everything will be fine. Vyonney, the MUA told me that the raindrops will look nice on photos. I couldn't imagine how nice will it turn out at that time. I can only sigh, sigh, sigh and sigh. But I wanted to remain positive. So I just put my trust on the photographer, believing that he was doing his best so I must do my best too.

So who is this amazing photographer I'm talking about? He is Benny Liew of The Spell Bridal Boutique. He is a photographer based in KK and if you're residing in KK, you must have heard of him. I have been 'spying' on his work since I was in Uni! I have this feeling of amazement each time I see a wonderful photo taken by him that made me went 'I must have him!' (as my pre-wedding and wedding photographer, of course). After admiring his work, especially the wedding photos, for a few years, I got to the point where I need a wedding photographer. I did not look elsewhere. Benny is second to none.

I'm glad I have made a right decision. He and the whole team are so friendly. They did not do the photoshoot like they are running a business. They made us feel like they are our friends taking our photos. That made us (Bruno and I) feel comfortable. We talked, we teased, we laughed. It was fun! 

So, to you bride-to-be out there, don't forget to check out BENNY LIEW and THE SPELL BRIDAL BOUTIQUE. Who knows we have the same taste when it comes to wedding photography. And I heard they are having a promotion right now.

I guess that's all for now, amigos. Will blog about my wedding day photos once I've received the photos from them. Can't wait!

Have a wonderful day. Adios.

Pray for Sabah

A day after I posted a sad post, a sadder event took place in the neighbouring (to my workplace, Semporna) district, Lahad Datu. Two police down. Two days later in Semporna, 6 more police down. It leaves me speechless.

When I was in the car on my way to Tawau, I thought to myself, I never imagined myself running away from something like this. The only time I could imagine I would come across this kind of situation is in the TV.

It saddens me more when I can't do anything about it. I can only run away from that place leaving my friends and students. It saddens me more when I see a lot of people in Facebook talking and commenting about the incident like they are there and like they represent everyone in Sabah. Come on people. Everyone is angry about the incident but do you really have to play I'm-angry-so-I'm-gonna-say-some-bad-words-okay? I agree after all that they (the intruders) have done to our fallen heroes, they deserve all the hatred in the world but are you channeling it to the right group? Even worse, they even politicized it. Oh people, seriously?

School is closed. Will be back to Semporna once things are settled.

Just pray for Sabah okay. That is probably the best we can do now.

Adios amigos.

I wish..

1. I am in KK right now. I woke up with a fever just now. And a headache. All I want is to be near to my family.

2. I am with my husband right now. I like how I look at obstacles positively whenever my husband is around. When I am with him, it seems like everything is possible. I give my all in every work I do in his presence.

Sometimes, I got so frustrated with my being I give up praying. Nothing happens. I wonder if God is listening. I am tired to be all happy-go-lucky and positive all the time because pretending is just tiring.

I am sorry  for posting such a mood-killer post. I just feel so down today because I woke up feeling sick with my life here.

Dear God, what is it that You want to show to me here? Please give me a sign.

I hope next time I see you, I will be in a more cheerful mood. Till then amigos. Adios.
