The First Saturday in November

Hi guys! How did you pass your weekend? Was it great? Well, I spent my last Saturday a little differently from the usual. I usually go for movies or hang out with Hao but this time we went for the Final game of Asean Basketball League!!

Didn't take any pics on that day so this is a throwback pic to the last time I went back to Penang.


Westports Malaysia Dragons vs Hi-Tech Bangkok City!!


Luckily Hao still managed to get a tix for me. IT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE. Tickets selling out fast since it's going to be an interesting game!! Super nervous!! 

 Not exactly a good spot as we were late to get inside though.


You know, I was never a fan of basketball (though I've joined basketball as my cocu in primary school). And the main reason that I could think of is because I've known nothing about the rules, how the game is being played or whatsoever, all I could see is just that the basketball was passing around by the players, same goes to football. Now after quite a number of basketball matches that I've watched, I finally catch some of the rules and the beauty of  this game and I think I'm actually starting to feel interested about it! Of course most of the parts is due to Hao's influence. Haha. I'm thinking whether to join basketball as my cocu in my degree. Hmm...

 Congratulations to Hi-Tech on winning this game!! Dragons did well too!


So how was your weekend? I'd love to know! :D

His Birthday Celebration 291014 | The Ship

Hey guys! Finally I have time to blog about Hao's birthday celebration! It is the first time ever I celebrated with someone that I loved and of course I want to make it perfect!! This year our birthday celebration was different because we had each other! :D

Look at that smile. It indicated the success of the mini surprise. (:


On the day before Hao's birthday, I wasn't able to count down with him and he was pretty sad though. However, I don't really feel sorry for it because I knew that I'm gonna make it up for him on the next day! 

On the day itself I first surprised him by showing up myself at his place unannounced, holding this little tiramisu cake that I bought from college and sang birthday song for him. Haha. I know it sounded ridiculous. Believe me, the moment I was singing I thought it was quite ridiculous too. Hahaha. 



He was actually napping and he looked super blur and his face was like 'oh-it's-my-birthday-steam-look'. Lol. After that I just gave him the present that I bought for him one week before his birthday. It was a Deepavali holiday and I went to KLCC just to pick his present. Luckily Zhen accompanied me or else I will be having dilemma on making decision. 

As for the birthday dinner, I already planned to have his home town's friends aka high school friends to celebrate with him, and of course it was untold. It was troublesome for me to look for a nice restaurant in this town as I wasn't exposed to much of them. In the end, I chose The Ship (Bukit Bintang Branch) as the venue cause they have a branch in Penang too! Feel safer to choose something that I am familiar with. Heh. 

OOTN

When we first stepped in into the restaurant, it was rather empty. Then his friends were waving their hands excitingly to grab our attention. At that moment I secretly look at Hao, and all I can saw was the appearing of a big smile on his face, slowly expanding. Awww~~ I can tell that he is surprised!! Most importantly he is so happy!! He never see any of this coming, he just thought it was just a simple birthday dinner of two. 

Quickly we settled it down and ordered our meal. And the guys started to chit-chatting non-stop. I don't mind sitting beside him listening to his conversation with his friends as long as he is happy. (: 

Chicken Au Chambertin. Wasn't really impressed by this but Hao's one was delicious! He had Grilled Premium Lamb Chop. We treated each other on our own's birthday as an act of appreciation. :D 

Thanks to one of the Hao's friend for buying this Chocolate Almond cake!! I need someone to do this for me as I was spending the whole day with Hao, couldn't have had any chance to run off and buy this gigantic cake. Lol.

Make wishes!! Hope all of them will come true. (:

Say HI!!

Thanks for everyone who made this surprise successful!! It wouldn't have succeed without you guys. Huge thanks to you all. Haha.


You can tell from the pictures. Hao was very happy and I really glad that he enjoyed his big day!! Of course he feel thankful and really appreciate about it. So it was a success!! Yayy. 

On the second round (obviously there will always be a second round duhh), we wanted to have a drink and so we headed to Remedy at Scott Garden. Spent a few hours there chilling, playing card games and laughed like nothing matters. Aww... I must say it was really fun to have this bunch of people keep making lame jokes and everything we did was just laugh laugh laugh! 

First try! Vodka + Lime is so good!!

Present for him. Luckily he liked it. :D

Another present that I poured all my heart in making this - a photobook. It contained 42 pages included the cover pages on both side. I spent 2 days on making this and it was a really tiring project. Lol. All the pictures selection and allocation, words editing... It really tired me up. Despite of the great consumption of my mind and time, it was all worth it when the photobook arrived at my doorstep. I'm so in love with the outcome. :D




That's all for today. See you. Xoxo
