Valentine's Day

It's a universal day of celebrating love and affection between lovers. And as always, I'm always super-thrilled with the celebration ;)

Now this post is not going to be about how I spent my Valentine's day with my amazing boyfriend (though yea, we did have a mighty good time on Valentine's day!), but this post is more about finding the root of why I still believe in love --- in this oh-so-cruel world that we're living in today.

An obvious truth (or finding):

This is a portrait of my mom. A picture of which she sent to my dad after they just got married...


And this is what she wrote at the back of the photo;


I.T.A.L.Y = I Trust And Love You
M.A.L.A.Y.A = May Angel Look After You Always

Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww!!! ;) I remember my siblings and I always had a joyful laughs everytime we see this pic --- still do, actually (thanks to my eldest sis who actually scanned and posted this photo on her Fb).

After more than 40 years of being together (of course, they've had their own roller-coaster ride throughout the years), my parents are still together now, but. They've shared their ups and downs together, I've seen. Yet, as they get older and grey, the relationship becomes closer and tighter with each other. All because of love.

Heh, twas not really that difficult to dig the root of the case ey! ;)

All you need is love!

Happy Valentine's day peeps. Wish you all the love in the world.

Chinese New Year

For the first time in my working years, I had to experience the lion dancers visiting my workplace ---the office, today. After three days off work (due to the Chinese New Year hols), our office re-opened today. Hence, we welcome the Lunar year with a lion dance perfomance ;)

The lion --- entering our office

He's now placing the good luck coin on my desk --- he's so cute! ;)

Reaching for the "ang pow" and the lettuce!

The good luck coin that was placed on my desk ;)

Call me a small kid, but I can really get over-excited over this kinda thing, still ;)

Rebak Island Resort

Yes! I'm a beach holiday-sucker ;) The one thing that I've begun to develop eversince I lived away from home (where the nice beaches are).

Last weekend, my colleague and I went to Rebak Island Resort, Langkawi, an exclusive resort with its own jetty and boats to the from the main land to the island and back. The distant from the airport to the jetty is about 5 minutes and it took us 15 minutes of a boat ride to the resort. It's a rather quiet resort I must say (they only have about 80+ rooms/villa). It's a perfect place for those who loves a quiet holiday --- the only water activities that they have are snorkeling and kayaking. Serious. So you can imagine the rest of your holiday would be, sun bathing, swim (if you can, cos I can't), cycling around the resort, monitar lizard watching (which was not very appealing to me because I grew up in a house where monitor lizards were crawling like nobody's business on the yard---okay maybe I was exaggerating but yea, they're nothing extraordinary to me. Unless it's komodo or something), eat, drink (I mean, like a lot of alcoholic drinks --- it's Langkawi okay!) and sleep.

We stayed in a two bedroom villa --- an awesome two bedroom villa! Only a little drawback, the room was not sound-proof! Bleh. For two nights in a row we got called up by the hotel receptionist telling us that the guests below our room were complaining because they heard noise came from the room above. Yea, the first night was the sound of Channel V on TV and the second night was because they could hear my colleague and I were talking. Whatever. The good food and the friendly staffs of the resort compensated it all :)

But yea, it was a good weekend getaway overall :)
