Just An Ordinary Girl

It has been almost a year and a half since I left Singapore. Did I regret? No, not at all. My life has been great in Malaysia so far. I am thankful for everything I have in life at the moment.

Just sharing the last few photos I have managed to capture before I left Singapore. My parents-in-law and sister-in-law specially traveled to Singapore to help my husband and I move every of our belongings to Kuala Lumpur. So, we took the opportunity to show them around Singapore, finally ending our 3 days 2 nights tour at Marina Bay Sands. These were our last printed memories in Singapore.

My company had its annual dinner held at Hotel Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur last month, just 2 weeks before the start of Chinese New Year. So I figured out that it might not be bad to share some of the fabulous photos I had managed to take at the event on that night.


The hotel was nice enough to provide us with some Chinese New Year props for our photo taking session before the dinner.





Our night started with a Lo Hei Yusheng, also known as Yusheng or Propersity Toss. Yusheng is a Teochew-style raw fish salad that usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly Salmon) mixed with shredded vegetables, a variety of sauces and crackers.

Eating Yusheng is part of a cultural activity for Chinese living in both Singapore and Malaysia. It is often served as the appetizer of a multi-dish dinner as it symbolizes good luck and prosperity for the year.
To eat this, all diners will stand up and toss the shredded ingredients high up in the air with their chopsticks. While tossing, diners are expected to shout various auspicious wishes out to bring in good luck for this luck. So, we wished for things like increments, bonuses and wealth.


Another welfie sessions with my pretty colleagues. We just could not stop taking photos on such a happy night!


We ended our night with a vain welfie. I think we actually enjoyed taking photos more than food. But most importantly, the entire event was a complete success and all of us had enjoyed ourselves very much!

It has been really a while since I last put on makeup and spent some quality time with my husband. I could not remember when was the last time we went for a shopping, movie and dinner date all in one day. We used to do that every week when we were still dating. But sadly, not anymore after we got married. My husband was always not very keen about the idea of going on a date during the weekend. In fact, spending his entire weekend at home with his family is all he wanted to do.

So, I was really surprised that he actually initated a date this time. I could not describe how happy and excited I was when he actually asked if I would like to go to the mall for some shopping and a movie that saturday.

However, we had a fight on that saturday morning. Of course, I cried. Although everything went back to normal after that, we arrived at the mall rather late, thus not having enough time to do much shopping. Even so, we did managed to spend some quality time together and just enjoying each other other's company.

That saturday reminds me of our dating days. So, to keep the passion alive in a marriage, it is crucial that we will never stop dating each other. A simple date will keep the spark alive in a relationship.

Anyway, this week photo will be a selfie to record my happiest moment of the week. Go on a date with your spouse if you have not too. It is always frustrating that marriage always lead us to take things for granted. We often lost the passion and excitement we used to have for each other and I believe going on a regular date would help to bring the spark back.

I received some chocolates balls from one of my colleagues who just came back from Japan. The packaging are just so adorable! If I were in Japan, I believe I would not be able to resist myself from buying and bringing some of these chocolate balls home too. I really think that the Japanese are one of the most creative group of people in the world!
