Weddings

Weddings! *squeal*
Everyone loves wedding, don't they? No?
I doubt so. Well, unless the bride is a bride-zilla!
For that, I Thank God that my sister is not one of them. (:

Anyways, since I only started blogging, or I should say, re-blogging, just a month ago...
I did not mention that my beloved elder sister got engaged last year! Her ROM was on 8.12.2012, so lawfully, she's actually Mrs now.
It took her almost a year to prepare for the wedding dinner. Well.. you know, usually for Chinese, you will have to make bookings for the restaurant, namely, a year before to get the date you want your wedding dinner on.
Unless you're SUPER GOD DAMN LUCKY..you can book last minute, I mean, why not? Try you Luck! 
Yeah...
My sister didn't want to try her luck, and that is why the dinner was drag for almost a year.
I'm still not excited yet, I'm not too sure why. I guess the excitement haven't kick in yet.
But I can tell things are starting to get buuuzzz-zzzzy.
Mum and Aunt is running up & down, right & left for her wedding,
My sister, herself is running horizontally & vertically for her new house and her BIG NIGHT.
And me? Though I wish so much to help, but I couldn't help much as I am working...
I have limited time, therefore, the only things I do is to provide her ideas and opinions wherever needed.

The wedding is like a week and more away,
Yet, it seems like there's still a LOOOONG to-do-list.
Mani & Pedi are not booked, Backdrops are not confirmed, Dinner Corsage and the list go on......
Gosh, I could sense her nerve already! I just hope she could get a hold on herself and not turn into a bride-zilla. Heh ;p ....hmmm, which makes me wonder, I think.. I might become a Bride-Zilla.... *shivers* okay, let's not talk about it yet!
We will see when the time comes. (:O

Where was I?
Yes, the wedding preparation and the To-Do-List,
That's not much of my concern, 
I have the Bride-to-be and my Super Mum & Aunt to finish it..
Though, for me, there's just on tiny little thing.
A hint?
What is that one thing that can't be missed on a Wedding?
Too vague?
Okay.. What is that one moment where it will make everyone, okay, maybe not everyone, but most of the guest tear/touched?
Got it?
Yes, Speech. That will be correct.
I was given the duty to give a speech on behalf of family!
The nerves.. Have ever told you that I'D NEVER GOTTEN OVER MY STAGE FRIGHT! HANG ME!
I have totally no idea on what to say? 
Any suggestions?
I was thinking, may start off with thanking all the guest for their attendance, and then a joke, and then then mushy-touchy speech starts.. something like that, will that be alright?
By just the thought of me standing up there, facing EVERYONE.. .. oh gosh! Kill me already!
I would rather take many many mushrooomssss (Mind you, I hate Mushrooms because I find them very smelly especially Chinese Mushrooms) Or maybe not, the latter is worst of.
And so, with my fingers crossed, I wish I can do what was expected from me *gulps* 
Not too high hopes, please!

We are having small wedding dinner in my hometown this weekend! (:
It's for the elderly relatives that finds it inconvenient to head down to KL for the wedding dinner.

Maybe I will shall take some photos and post it here?


Till then,

love, cong


p.s :// TGIF !!!!!!

An Open Letter about How I had Fall for Running Man... and still falling

 RUNNING MAN is love!


It's a bit late, well, SUPER late,
but yes, I am in a blooming relationship with Running Man.
The sparks that's growing, the chemistry so strong that I can't help but smile/laugh whenever I think about them. (; like now... tee hee.
I should have watch it earlier!
I should have listen to my cousin sister and watch it when she recommended me the show!
But I was lazy! To search it online and download it... Why? Because, to be honest, I'm quite dumb when handling things related to computer and internet.
If you were to ask me search for a site for downloads, I will be like, What? How to DL? When they have pop up and all, what do I Press?
Basically, I'm an idiot when it comes to downloading from internet.
Unless, there's like some link I can click, then right click then save as.
Things should be this easy!
Right Click --> Save as --> DL done!
It should be like that!
Ha ha. (:
And so, due to the fact that I'm an total idiot when it comes to downloading, I didn't bother to watch.
Which is why, now, I regretted.
New episode keeps coming out and I haven't even finish the old ones!
Where can I get those amount of LEISURE & FREE Time to watch!
I already kiss my Uni Life goodbye so long ago.....

Anyways, 
My point is, Running Man is SOOOO GOOD and FUNNY, sometimes I'd rather stayed home for it then going out for a Block Buster. Ha Ha *Reminds me of Haroro - a RM member ;P*
It is good!
Really.
I think the reason why is that they all are like family, and no matter how one tease the other, they take it happily...yeah! that's it! they are always happy!!
I think happiness really can be shared. hehe.
Okay,
I'm running out of things to say.
Let's sign off with the List of My Favorite Running Man Member!

Top One : Lee Kwang Soo !
Top 2,3,4,5.. No, All of the rest are Top2 for me!
Actually, I love them all, equally.
I think if anyone of them leaves, it will change everything...
So please, let this show go on, with the existing members..
It really make my day every time I watched it!
I might be late, but... I am a Runnningg Man Fan, die hard one. (:

What's ironic is that, a month ago, while I was having dinner with my girls, they were like, 'RM is coming to Malaysia ! I wanna go!!' and I went like 'hmm, okay..'
But now! I'm like 'RM IS GOING TO SG! I WANNNA GO!!!!!'


And the best part is.. they are ALL GOOD FRIENDS EVEN OFF SCREEN. (:

Running Man Members in their Animal-Kind. ;p

Look at them!

Love,

Public Holidays

awww,
How I miss the public holidays!
You can never get enough of public holidays! You will want more and more eventually, it's like a drug!
Well, apparently, I think that we have much more public holidays here in Malaysia as compared to other countries. Is that true? I hope so. (;

Anyway, how was everyone's weekend?
Mine was great! :) 
I had an awesome time with my loved ones!
Friday night was great because... it just is! No, seriously. I never felt Friday was so awesome until I start working, I mean, TGIF was always just a quote, but now, I know, LITERALLY. Ha ha! 
Saturday night, I spent time with my friends - closed ones. 
It was meant to be a farewell for 2 of my girlfriends and birthday party for 2 boys. 
That's the problem when you have friends birthday-ing in every month! 
I was in charge of the cake, and wooo - laaa!
That is what I got.

It's super-duper-awesome-speechless-kind of cute! (:
Sadly, it was tormented!

Though I feel sorry, but I'm glad that they at least enjoyed the cake - or I think they do.
We had a card game later for the drinking session. (:
Again, it was all great!
I mean, when you are spending time with the ones you love, you will enjoy no matter what - no matter at what place - True?
And as for Sunday, I stayed home and chill. (:
Of course, how could a Sunday be complete without some Running Man! :)
Yes, I'm infected with the running-man-disease too! 
It was all good, until an old friend came pay me a visit... GASTRIC..  ughh.
On Monday, I went to see my dear girlfriend before she leaves to continue her studies in UK. (;
Then went to KD with my family.

Those were what I did for that long weekend!
It's not something special or adventurous or exciting, on layman's term.
but it is to me, and I enjoyed it to the max ! :)

Signing off with a photo taken last few weeks!
A 2013 version of Sexy-Back with my girls! It's not a complete one though, ying is not in there.. pfffft.

Version 2013 - not so complete one.

  

I miss them!

Love,

Date Night

Ever seen an Italian Mansion?
with solid rock walls, lush greenery stretch so far you can only sigh as it's magnificent?
I have seen one! located in the heart of the city!
Yes, an Italian Mansion - well, not quite right with the latter part, no greens, just, a pool maybe? - with solid rock as walls!
It was the perfect setting.
Its like Italy moved into Kuala Lumpur. ha ha. okay, maybe I'm abit exaggerating,
but you get the picture, don't you?
Still don't?
Here's a picture! 

Villa Deniali, Sheraton Imperial KL.

I only have that much of time to snap one shot!
I was too busy admiring the surrounding.
The food was good, I love the Lamb Shank.. hmm, I can still taste it in my mouth.
But of course, what's Italian food without desserts?
I ordered Rosemary Creme Brulee and Tiramisu (OF COURSE RIGHT!).
You know how they say women tend to have two stomachs? One for the Main Course & others and One for Desserts and solely desserts! 
My first stomach was so full I can throw up if I have any other food going in, though, my second stomach was 'expected-ly' - ha ha! - EMPTY.
It's cravvvving for desserts, and I was super excited! 
When the dessert finally came, I was awestruck. 
It was served like this ...

 
I feel so loved. :)
Thanks, kiddo. For everything.

All in all, I'm glad that we had that date night. It settle all things lingering. 
I ran out of things to blog.


Okay, here goes. 
....*thinking*...
......*thinking real hard*......
.....*thinking suppppperb hard*....

Nope, Nothing.
Still nothing.
Maybe next time? :D
Till then!

love, cong

A Needed Getaway

Have you ever had times where you just feel like throwing everything behind and hop on plane or a car or a train and run away to the Far Far Away Kingdom?
Well, I do. And actually, quite often. Okay, kill me, it's ALWAYS. I always feel that way.
I find it hard - sometimes, no.. most of the time..arggh, ALL the time - to deal with human being.
Especially CROWDs. Don't get me wrong, I am TOTALLY at ease with my family, friends, relative - All the ones I love.
It's the others that I'm afraid of.
Afraid that I might say something wrong and hurt their feelings, or something that make them misunderstand who I am before knowing me..
Hence, I'm usually - very often - quiet when I'm with human beings other than the ones I've label with the HEART SHAPE.
I find it much more easier dealing with animals or plants. Ha Ha. Call me Crazy.
But do understand, I don't mean to despise human being,
It's just for me personally, I feel that way.
Maybe I'm too insecure of everything?
or, I could have a real low self esteem?
or maybe I'm too afraid of rejection...
Gosh, I shouldn't start!

Okay, *comes back to where I intentionally thought I would lead this post to*
So, I was talking about this Getaway.
It was a sudden thing, not at all planned - I never knew that place existed - kind of thing,
I was suppose to attend a meeting in Pahang with Mummy Tan.
Because the meeting was well, quite last minute, we didn't make it there, but we still got back for another meeting, and we were quite early for the other meeting.
So while waiting, Mummy Tan called up her friend, and coincidentally my relative (who is BFF to my mum's friend), they were hanging out in this 'PLACE'.
We follow the directions given, and here we are !
A breathtaking place !

It's called 'Tanah Ainaa Farm', (I hope I'd got is correct), I didn't really pay attention on the English Name. ;p
Anyway, it's was.. mind blowing. I mean, for city girls/boys like me - actually, not so, after all, this is my hometown - would be delighted to see such place full with lush greens floras. (: Even the air is fresher!!
Instantly, you will feel relaxed and KL is like.. what? where is KL? *Ha Ha ;p
According to the Mummy Tan's friends, loads of tours will come from KL on weekends for a short getaway.
The picture above is the restaurant, their food is good. (: 
They even have a Lotus Pond with Lotus Flower all over !

 

Look at it! Isn't it a beauty? :)
Later, further down the road, there's this Resort, or so-called, hmm, let's just say, it's another short getaway for City People. ;p

It's called Caravan Serai. 

If offers trip to Bentong's Waterfall, BBQ, Jungle Tracking and ATV - Did i get it right? the Jeep kind of car - ride.

What's really special about it ?

The accommodations!

You literally get to sleep in a Tent, but with Queen sized bed. ;p

Your accommodation for the night

The Bathroom :p

Yeap ! Picture tells it all. (:

I would recommend it for a short getaway, but I'd rather stay in my own home than here. Too afraid of the mother nature when the moons come in place. ha ha. (:

Due to all these short getaways, Bentong is getting more popular. I'm really proud! Though, prices of food and neccessities are shooting skyhigh as well, which is not so good.

Hmmm,

Oh well. (;

That's about it.

I needed that Short Getaway, though it was pure coincidence.

(:

Till then,

Toodles.

Regards,

cong

How love should be

You know the feeling you have when you saw/read/hear something, similar, familiar or... heartbreaking?
No, it's not Deja-vu...
It's more like, for example, for me, I was thinking about a scene from BOF, where Jun Pyo was beaten up by some idiots *clenched fist & grinds teeth*. He did not fight back as Jan Di was on their hands. 
So my thought was suddenly like, WOW. I wonder who will be willing to endure punches and kicks for ME? like how Jun Pyo did for Jan Di.
Like he said, he'd rather all his ribs broken that watching Jan Di hurt a single bit.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
that's HOW LOVE SHOULD BE. at least, to me, it is suppose to be like that.
I don't think anyone can do that in reality.
I mean,... can they?
I don't know, maybe it's just me. 
Can someone really love that much, to that extent?
If there is, can I please meet 'that person' of mine?

Watching BOF makes me feel and think that's the way How Love Should Be.
The way Jun Pyo loves Jan Di (OF COURSE RIGHT! Which girl do not want that !? She must be insane..)
How Ji Hoo loves Jan Di (I would want that too. Though, it takes hack loads of selfishness to ask that from someone..-___-")
How Eu Jung & Woo Bin loves their friends, how Ji Hoo always backs Jun Pyo up...
Hmmmm,
I need to wake up! like INSTANTLY.
But... this dream, is SOOOO MUCH BETTER than Reality.
Makes me want to stay in there forever..
If that 'forever' could be, I'm willing to give up anything in life. Take up number of my years - but not to the extent that I only spend like 1 minute with them la...neither it should involve sacrificing my Family members - other than that, Yes, I would really give in.

I'm already at Episode 13, so worried that it's gonna end soon. );
The feeling is so confusing! I want to watch more and more, but afraid to, as its gonna speed up the whole drama... and the last thing I want is, to end BOF, so soon.
It's the one way I relieve stress.
Run away from the ugly truth. 
Sigh,

In any case, I really think that BOF has portray it so well on How Love Should Be - for me.
I know I've said this many times, and you're probably sick of it,
But.....
I want my own Jun Pyo,
I want my own Ji Hoo,
I want my own Yi Jung,
I want my own Woo Bin,
In conclusion, I want Jan Di's life.
Ha ha.
This is probably ridiculous and reckless.
BUT...
If being that poor/not smart, not pretty - according to JanDi herself - like Jan Di enables me to meet Jun Pyo,
I would give in. WITHOUT a SINGLE THOUGHT, DELIBERATING or HESITANT.

Yes, call me crazy.
I am Ms Crazy-Over-BOF. :)
Look at them!

Jun Pyo

Ji Hoo

Woo Bin & Yi Jung

love, cong


 

Korean Drama

Yes, Korean Drama.
I believe everyone watches Korean Drama, or at least have.
Personally, I'm a fan of Korean Drama. A HUGE ONE.
There few of my favorites are, of course, one the of CLASSIC, the ALL-TOO WELL-KNOWN -- Full House, Coffee Prince, Princess Hours, My Girl, Kim Sam Soon, Autumn in My Heart, Playful Kiss, My Girlfriend is a Nine Tail Fox, Prosecutor Princess and HOW CAN I LEAVE OUT one of my FAVORITE, Yes the Favorite out of ALL Favorites --- *drum rolls* ---> Boys Over/Before Flowers.

Yes!! BOF Forever. If you have stayed - read my blog, i mean - with me long enough, you probably would realize that I have this BOF Fever for quite some time back, from 2009 till 2010, when I was in Melbourne.
Those days where I get to watch BOF was the peak of my days in Melbourne.
Truly, it made my day, just like that!

And now, I don't know what made me, but I am currently re-watching BOF again.
I happen to saw that one episode on KBS HD, and BOOM! there goes the desire/urge of mine - that was properly suppressed somewhere deep down in me that CRAVES and GO INSANE over BOF - now, UNLEASHED !!!

*RELEASE THE KRAKEN~~ * something like that, ha ha.

Anyways, yes, about BOF. After all these years, i'm like 3 years older now - from the first time I've watched it - but still, it dazzles me over and over again.
The urge to want to meet some guys like the F4 is still as strong as ever, ROCK HARD SOLID STRONG.
Hmm, I wonder why is that. Not only BOF, but mostly all the Korean Dramas.. after some time when you re-watch it again, it still hits you like how the meteor hits the ozone layer ! like totally awestruck !
That's the Magic of Korean Drama. Ha ha. (;

Which reminds me... My daddy used to watch Korea Drama with me. 
He's favorite was Full House! It was because of the girl, yeah, Song Hye-Kyo.
He mention that the way the portrayed the character in the drama, makes him forgets about all his worries.
I know right.. LOL.
Not only that, after that, while we were watching Princess Hours, some times later, we had to go lunch, but it was already the second last episode. Mummy made us shut it down. Because daddy was watching with us, he was like : ' Why do you Off it? Just finish it since the next episode it's already the last episode...'

And then there was this other time, he watched BOF with us, and ask us to play the next episode! He was more eager to watch it than us ! 
He also watched My Girl, and felt upset - actually, teared a bit - when The Grandpa ask Yoo Rin to leave Gong Chan after he found out that she was a feign...
The last Korea Drama he watched was My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox. And I can never forget the words he said. He was like : Haaah, I wonder why All the Korean Songs are so nice.. - and then sway his head a bit with the rhythm - it was playing Lose My Mind at the ending of the episode..

Korean Drama played a huge part in my life, and I'm Glad that the other HUGE PART - actually, the largest Huge part - of my life, who is also one of the most important person in life takes part in the HUGE PART(Korean Drama) of my life. :) ha ha. does it make sense?
Oh well, you know what i mean.

Signing Off with a picture of Current - no, maybe I should put Always instead - Love --> F4 from Boys Over/Before Flowers (:

love, cong

Lunch time thoughts

What do you people do during lunch time?
I'm having my lunch time now, and guess what I did?
I was just randomly going through the blogs of HK Artist, and saw a post by Cilla Kung about Chinese New Year.
Gosh ! I miss Chinese New Year!
The moment I saw the photo she posted about her outfit for CNY.
I don't know what was it that I felt, but it made me came here!
I feel like talking about my CNY. (;

CNY was always a big thing for me! ha ha. Yes, one of the reason is I'm Chinese.
Though, the fact that I'm Chinese is not the main reason.
I love CNY so much it's because of the things we do for/during CNY!!
Shopping, Cleaning, Having meals together, catching up with each other, games, fireworks, and more!

It was always a tradition in my family that we would head back to my hometown to celebrate.
When I was younger, the whole TAN family would be back few days before CNY and our house would be full with people. it would be noisy but merry at the same time. (:
Every morning, I would hear TV sounds when I open my eyes!
Daddy would take away breakie for the whole family! speaking of breakfast, my hometown has the most awesome food! ha ha. at least, to me it has! *drooling by just the thought of it*
After breakfast, kids would be playing, parents talking meanwhile nagging children to shower and be prepared for this BRAND NEW YEAR (in Chinese Calender) with everything new!
(: Mad Love.
Mummy would always dress us up like princesses. floral dresses, lace socks, pretty hair bows, cute bags...those are my childhood memories. She would do me & my sisters hair, and make up and snap photos of us at every corner of the house that she had decorated !
Daddy is ALWAYS the first to be done, and always out YUMCHA with his friends! yes! on the 1st DAY of CNY. ha ha. Though, he knows exactly the time to come back! C; iloveyoudaddy.
AngPaos were given, blessings were said... and then it's PHOTO TIME ! ha ha.
The gossiping, talking and discussion on who's house to visit first, will come later.

Day 2, wife are allowed to go home to their family and celebrate. :)
Daddy would drop us, go yumcha, and come back around noon at 3-4pm.
I'll always remember the face he had when walking into the house because the SUN is super HOT at that hour. Don't ask me why, Sun tends to be hotter at CNY and at my hometown. LOL. (People always say that! it's weird... not even scientifically proven ;p)
I will totally have tons of fun with my cousin.
Back when we were younger, video games, ipad and psp weren't that much of a hit.
We'd played games that involve us, physically! and it's sad to see that kids nowadays didn't get to enjoy those.
Like, the Fire & Ice, Hopping Ropes, dressing up, the restaurant game.. so much more !
Ahhh, memories ~ (;

After Day 2 of CNY, the rest would be a repetition  of Day 1 or Day 2. (;
But it still is FUN. Being able to connect with your family, though doing the same things, but with different memories produced, it's the best!

It's a time for family to reunite, reconnect and stay together even though you don't get to see/speak to each other often.
Some, even being able to see the elder ones once last chance...
2010 was the worst CNY of my life.
2011 was the first CNY I had without him.
It ease a bit to think that he's just working in another country, and is sooo busy that he couldn't make it back.
but hey, who am I kidding? Somehow, a part of me - the smaller part - despise the other part for being such a coward for living in denial.. I often choose to ignore the smaller part.
It's okay you know, because all that he has left with me, all the other 20+ years of CNY I had with him gave me enough memories.
Enough for as long as I shall live. (:


I remember,
one of the CNY, while we were heading out to pay relative a visit.
It was the teenage years you see, where you dress up in FULL.
Hair checked ! Make up checked ! Falsies & Contacts checked ! Dress checked ! Nails checked ! Heels checked !
you know what I mean?
So, I was wearing my heels.
and my father said to me :
Daddy : Cong, can you see that flower over there?
Cong : Yeah..
Daddy : Is it pretty?
Cong : Yeah..
Daddy : Will it wither one day?
Cong : Yeah, of course.
Daddy : Well then, Beauty is not forever.
Cong : *speechless, cause I finally got his point*

Daddy was never really fond about the idea that I dolled up too much.
I have no idea why, but I was a fool to ever feel that he is being too old school.
I actually, really do miss the way he nags me.
He would say : 穿这样美做什么？ 见官吗？*then smile...

I would pay any price to hear it again.


love, cong.

The Beginning of The End

Hi blogspot,

It's been, a while. I hope everyone is fine.
I'm fine, myself. Currently, still recovering from whatever I'm left with.

I guess, I will blog again. Like I said before, one day, I will blog again, and I guess today is the 'one day' that I mentioned before.
Don't ask me why. I'm not too sure either, I just suddenly felt like, this is the time?
Like maybe I should stop wasting time, and start re-blogging again.
I mean, because of this blog, so many memories were solidified in here, kept forever (unless, of course Google decided to delete this page)
Hence, I should start blogging again, to store memories starting from today, cause I know I do not wanna miss a single word, a laugh, a tear, a second in my life

So, here I am, blogging again.

I've been missing too much. 
All those that had happen way before this blog entry, after that incident - The Beginning of The End,
I would and could have written it down, here. 
To think that I have lost that much of memories, I feel stupid...

What should I start with?
I think I really need a meaningful post, to sort of 'REVIVE' the whole blog.
LOL.
Okay, just kidding.

You know what people say when you try to hold on to the memory you wanna remember, so hard, you eventually forget?
That is what I'm afraid of.
I'm terrified, horrified that I will loose all those memories about him.
Isn't it always the case? I mean, Yes, of course, some stayed, but NOT ALL.
and I want ALL of them save with me, even after 20 years later, or maybe the day of my last breath! still clear as crystal.
I'm being a melo?
No, no, truly, I do.

Hence, I wanna make it sort of like a daily routine.
A single entry a day that talks about him, or stuffs he did for me and us...
Just so I can read it all again, if one day my memory deteriorates.

I remember, 
He would knock on my door every Monday morning - he works in another state, and only comes home at weekends - and give me my allowance.
His tone, always gentle and soft - even, at times, when I'm being an awful daughter and argued with him.
And the way he knocks on my door, I can tell it's him just by listening.
Because, it's always a gentle knock. 
He's a man with huge hands, I cannot imagine how a man can knock on a door that gently.
That knock on my door, I wish I could hear again...
