Finally, it is set....

The wedding will be on 30th May 2008... Not by their choice but I guess we do have to consider the relatives from afar and I agree (Senah is hoping relatives as far from Miri and mom from Sibu and Kapit to attend). Tentatively we will do the reception at the Four Points by Sheraton (although in the midst of construction will be ready by then). We do have the menus. We are hoping for a fun, memorable wedding where three cultures; Bidayuh, Iban and Kayan will be united and I do hope David will consider it (if you are reading this - we want something unique...)

So this is my first report as tHe Wedding Planner.

Finally..... with courage I went....

Yeeaa... it was an issue that matters, really....

You know i was not feeling well for a couple of months now.......

Bruce said it's the tooth and nothing but the tooth...

So finally i made the appointment with Roki the Dentist a week prior.......

Hubby refused to come, he had to work anyway; so dragged Jaja, Beth and my dad together with ND to go with me......

Then when it was my turn...

I closed my eyes; refusing to look or try to imagine the syringes......

The assistant held my hands........

I squeezed it tightly.....

"It's going to hurt a bit" she said...

1..... 2..... 3.....

Nothing happened..

1.... 2.... 3.....

Hallelujah!!!!! The source of my sickness has left my body..... I am free.... I am free.... I am free..

I am alive.........

That was the only tooth I ever extracted since my school time.... COOoooL.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLZZZ!!

My girl, Beth, turned 5 on 30th October2008. I wanted to give her that childhood memories of celebrating birthday. So got the whole family in the agenda and I was so happy with the result. I like to thank my brothers ND and David together with their girlfrens, Everlind and Senah, my sister Ivy and her children; Nevin, Nigel and Nuvall and of coz my beloved Ma and Abba and not forgetting my in-laws for taking care of my kids so I can get organized and my sister in-law Anna; who took care of the cake....

We celebrated her big day on 1st November, which happened to be 'mour' Bday also....... but I guess even though I was not the centre of attraction I was just as happy just by the look on her face and saw her smile on that day.....

Happy Birthday, Bethany Megan

ps. Many Happy returns of the day to me too..

These two are my event managers - I couldn't have done it without them.

OOHH... How I love the deco!!!!!!!

I'M A WEDDING PLANNER!!!!!!

Finally....Since it's in his blog I guess is also ok to put it in my blog. So, my youngest brother Abet 'melangkah bedul' over ND and going to get engaged to Senah Ukong. The wedding will be next year and I being busy body offered to be the wedding planner. It was actually a pack between I and ND(that I will be his when he tie the knot); mana tau jadi like this.

Well I will try, if Senah say yes too, bro..........

The meeting between the family will be in few weeks time and I guess I will update you guys on me as the wedding planner....

I AM BACK......

My PC Modem was struck by lightning and as a result I was unable to go online for a couple of weeks. Although the other half and I were on leave for few days last week, I found that with the children schooling, we still need to do the things we do every morning. So I does not really make any differences - unless it is school holidays. I was on sick leave for 1 1/2 days on Wed & Thur; came down with the flu virus. I slept the whole day on Thursday and today still recovering.

I wish to congrats Simon on his wedding day last week; 11Oct2008. It was a beautiful weddings and why I said weddings becoz it was a mass wedding . 7 couples got married at the same time that day. St. Anne was beautiful and it was like a garden's wedding. I love garden's wedding.... and talking about wedding, the family might have one next year...... Am so happy.....

Savor the pictures I took....

GO, GIRL POWER!!!!!

I've been following certain TV drama-series and seems to be stuck and looking forward to watch it every week and no, its not the CSIs series; although Grisson still amuses me, I just don't understand why Fiona love Horatio.....anyway.....

It started with "Desperate Housewives" - then I got bored... The women seems to be having to much sex; if you know what I mean. I stopped watching becoz the series lack vision and like what I said - OVERSEXED!!!!!


Now, I am watching "Cashmere Mafia". Created by Kevin Wade, it tells of a group of successful female executives who have been friends since college turn to each other for guidance as they juggle their careers with family in New York City. This drama is starred by Lucy Liu as Mia Mason, Frances O'Connor as Zoe Burden, Miranda Otto as Juliet Drapper and Bonnie Somerville as Caitlin Dowd.



Another series is the "Lipstick Jungle" - A look at the lives of Nico(Kim Raver), Wendy(Brooke Shield), and Victory(Lindsay Price) -- three of "New York's 50 Most Powerful Women," according to The New York Post.

These are career women, successful, rich and everything a woman wish she is to be. Loads of self-esteem and power - you wish you taste a bit of their glamorous life, wish you have their power, their monies, lifestyle and even their men....

But hey.... although you learn a bit of facts of life in these drama- you laugh a little, smile a little and even cry a little - and while they are good entertainment materials, it doesn't happen in MY WORLD.

Back to reality. My body ache..... For the last couple of weeks, I had food allergies, toothache and painful gum (that made my entire right cheek hurt) and now am having sore throat + sinus. According to Bluce all it takes is a trip to Roki the Dentist...

I had the food allergies for 2 weeks and it showed-up every morning and night. I was never allergic to food; FOOD!!!!! that's my life you are talking about. I love FOOD!!!
So they asked me to list down the food I ate. Thank God am not allergic to PORK!!! Turn out I am not allergic to any food (I think). Emily said maybe I've been showering hot water and I think Abet also said the same thing...

Talk about FOOD. Last Friday the HfF team went to Sweet Happiness for our dinner.
Pictures paint a thousand words...

Emily and Chang telling the Chef what we want

That's the crab; delicious....

This is new - Chicken + herbs soup; cooked in coconut, not my cup of tea but some of the gang liked it..

Well enough said. Goodnite and have a productive day a head..

My New Toy... Happy Birthday Cat

My phone died on me a couple of days ago. Somehow I feel like a left hand had been chopped-off. Hubby was reluctant to give me his "left hand" so promised to buy me one. Yeah... we went phone hunting yesterday but what he forgot to tell me was his budget. Anyway, he was kind enough to fulfill my dream..

I have always like this one... so thanks Hon;(I luv you). So I got myself a Nokia 6500 Slide.

I love this phone for a simple fact that I can download photos straight to my pc to my blog so I don't have to wait for anybody to download it from their camera for me and another bonus is I can YAHOO!!! Yahoooooo.....



















I like to wish Catherine a "Happy Birthday - many happy returns of the day. May you bless others like you've been blessed and wherever you are; we are thinking of you."
