reception gombak, originally uploaded by yunayuni.

I just learned how to do vintage effect on photos, so i have done it on one of my favourite photos from our wedding.

I just love the emotions in this one.It was during our reception on Emri’s side.

If you notice in the picture, my brother was trying to put back my leg bangles, which came out when we were in the procession to the hall. I am quite surprised on how cheerful i looked, probably it was because i was trying my best to hide my nervousness. My bridesmaid cousin looked worried though.

The procession was delayed by 1 hour, and we were rushing to finish it before the nearby mosque recites the Zuhur azan. The delay was due to my parents and some of my family entourage not able to make it on time, because they were literally unable to get the car to move.

Of all the days, it was this day that my father locked the carkeys inside the car, and, it was parked in front of the house gate. Why not use other cars? Yeah well, it just so happened too, that all other available cars are blocked inside.

Funny huh? Oh well, it will surely make an interesting story to tell our children someday *grin*

Memories, sweet memories.

Yellow, originally uploaded by yunayuni.

Just a few shots from our new home garden, which has not been properly taken care of yet.

There are patches of this yellow flower amongst a variety of other wild vegetations. We think its nice to keep.Maybe we will arrange it nicely along the perimeter of the garden.

Ok remember about the M Nasir 1 Wajah Concert we bragged about? Screw that. He is ditching us and performing in Singapore instead! With Siti Nurhaliza some more!

Concert 1 Wajah entah bila lah pulak. Looks like we have to reclaim the money we paid for the front seat tix.

Haruslah takde kesempatan nak pergi kan? Nasib baik ada Astro. Because we are both a big fan of M Nasir and Siti Nurhaliza, we are soooo subscribing to ABO Events.

Seb baik RM10 je.

There is something about the year end holidays that appeals to me. Its the holidays of course, and how everything gains a slow and steady pace. Hectic workplace has turned calmer when it comes to year end (but maybe that does not apply to some). Well at least it applies to mine.

Personally i think that Christmas has been turned into a commercial celebration, Western media has made it so interesting that everyone feels good when the Christmas season comes. Anyway i dont see any harm in that, except that maybe many pockets are burnt due to bargains and offers during the Christmas sales.

Who does not love the holiday season anyway? If not because my leave balance is approaching zero, i may not be here writing this blog. Maybe i am chilling out somewhere interesting instead.Heheh.

Happy Holidays y’all!

Meet me halfway, right at the boarderline
that’s where i’m gonna wait, for you
i’ll be lookin out, night n’day
took my heart to the limit, and this is where i’ll stay
I can’t go any further then this
I want you so bad it’s my only wish.

The Crib Project completed.

Ok I know I am being wayyyy behind on this Twilight frenzy, but yeah, I finally watched the movie on Star Movies last night.In a nutshell:

1. Edward Cullen is mysterious, and by not talking it makes him more interesting (I have this thing about less-talking guys, so am I letting myself into the Cullen Club now?)
2. The soundtrack is awesome especially during the part when Bella discovers that Edward is a vampire.
3. I love the baseball scene. There is something cool about vegetarian vampires, baseball, thunderstorm and a Muse song.
4. I feel like reading the book now (because previously I had an idea that it is just a typical vampire story suck blood, whatever)
5. It is a teenage genre actually, but there is something interesting about Stephenie Meyer’s story telling (well at least I think so).
6. I can watch New Moon now.

Back to real life….

Moving day is this Thursday. Our current house is an M to the ESS. Seriously, packing a double storey house is exhausting, man. Glad we are moving into a cozier one-storey crib.

And I discovered that I have way too much junks in the house, especially plastic and paper bags. I am so putting away the plastic bags (so much of trying to be an eco-friendly person). If there is one thing this home move taught me, it will be never ever stash too much things “you-know-you-are-not-going-to-need-it-but-you-still-keep-it-just-in-case”. Trust me, the case rarely happens.

Lastly, electrical and lighting is finishing today (hope so). Hubby is supervising it, and I can’t wait to see the results. I think we both have an obsession with lights ;P.

Just bought this book,and i think it pretty much helps me with something i talked about previously.Am at the middle now,and its a real page-turner.

The Crib project is progressing a lot these days,so does the cash flow.When you get your own house you want it to be perfect,but along the way you will learn that dreams do not come true overnight.So now i have to learn to prioritize (eventhough honestly,being the usual hasty me,means its a pain in the a**).Hubby had to bear with my hastiness quite a few times,and for that i am so sorry.I am trying my best to make do and be patient.Huhu.

Just a small checklist to share,maybe it helps when your turn comes soon

Some of our shots from an unplanned visit to Pelabuhan Kuantan after checking out our house in Chendor.

There were people fishing so we thought that it could be a great subject.
