Xue Hui's Wedding @ Kulai, Malaysia

Ok I'm back. I always hope to spend my xmas in some foreign land where there is snow, god was half kind to me this year by letting me spend my xmas in KULAI, MALAYSIA. Foreign land indeed, but no snow.

Kulai is a very ulu and small town in Johor and basically there is NOTHING there. I absolutely mean it. No big shopping centres, ok I saw a small Tusco somewhere, but other than that, THERE IS NO XMAS ATMOSPHERE.

How pathetic can. But well, since i promised xue hui to attend her wedding 1 year ago, so i must go lah.

There i am, 10am at compass point on X'mas day, waiting for the editor and PR to send us to Malaysia. Im actually quite shock that the PR manager's husband dare to drive his new car into Malaysia with so many car stealing cases. Stay overnight somemore. And he just got his car in October. Wah, I see liao I also worried for his car. Anyway, there's actually a traffic jam at the Tuas causeway, so we reached at 1pm.

Gosh, going overseas with the editor, Kimberley, is WOO! I can't find a term to describe it. It's like every few hours, we ended in some cafe or restaurants. Fun? Torturing? Depending on how u look at it. For me, it just means more exercise when i come back :( damn.

So we had our lunch plus dessert at some nearby eatery before checking in. I had nasi lemak and fu zhu yi mi.

The room is so small, like Hotel81! But ok la, considering we are here to attend wedding and go home, not for vacation. There's only this hotel amongst the 荒山. There aren't any internet connection and there's no towel in my hotel room!!

It's only a two storey hotel and when u board the lift and reach your floor, there's always this "Ding!" sound to tell u that u have reach right. Strangely, it's not "Ding!" sound in this hotel. It came out as the fire alarm ring sound! -.-

When I first board the lift, I got frightened. Thought we were so lucky to get trapped in there. Dumb ass.

I brought only RM50 to Malaysia! How smart, because I think wedding dinner is free food mah, then lunch and the next day breakfast should be enough.

哪里知道！！！

after the nasi lemak lunch just now, we went back hotel to check in. then kim brought me for massage! aromatherapy massage. RM68! knn.

But she paid for me lah. Wahlou eh, sibei painful because they incorporate some 推拿 into the massage. The air con was damn cold (i have already told them to increase the temp) and there was something v embarrassing lah. You see, it's damn cold and i was damn painful that i go ouch ouch ouch for the whole hour. Then suddenly i had running nose. and my 鼻涕 just cannot control itself and drips.

it was dark, and i saw some cushion at the bottom of the bed (i didnt wear specs), and great, my 鼻涕 drips onto the cushion like thing. And it keeps dripping and i cant be bothered. I was thinking, never mind lah, im not going to use that cushion thing.

哪里知道！40 minutes later, she ask me turn over, took the cushion like thing and put it below my head.

原来那个东西是枕头！！ -.-

wahlou, serve me right lor, so i sleep in the wet pillow with my 鼻涕 for the remaining 20 minutes. I was damn amused by myself. great job miss o!

So anyway, after the massage, WE EAT AGAIN! It's already like 5pm and kim says we can eat light snacks cuz the wedding is at 8pm.

In the end, we ordered sambal mee and baked rice. Great, this is 'light snacks'. -.-

This is the sambal mee, which is supposed to be dry. I didnt take photos of the baked rice, it cannot be eaten. We have concluded that the people here cant cook.

This HK cafe is only 2 day old and they are asking us to fill in the survey and feedback form. And I wrote 1 long page of feedback for them to tell them how to improve their food.

It's really bad, the baked rice's rice is cold and NOT BAKED at all. It's steam!! -.- Horrible.

Went back, bathed and getting ready to go for xue hui's wedding. the restaurant is just 30 steps away from the hotel. In other words, beside the hotel! -.-

Their wedding photo. Awww how sweet! Next time my wedding, I already have in mind which photographer and videographer to look for. hiak hiak hiak, right little red ants!! HAHA

Having wedding on xmas day can be good and bad. Good because easy to remember, bad because people are highly unlikely to turn up. Especially if it's in malaysia!

But there's only the few of us who specially come from singapore lah. there rest of her friends are from different states of msia.

With Kimberley, my editor.

Xue Hui in her white gown, pretty pretty. 穿婚纱的女人永远是最美的。

In actual fact, I only knew her for 2 months before I left Se Xiang Wei, so we aren't that close. But we aren't strangers lah. Im quite surprised that she will invite me, perhaps it's her 2nd job in spore only. but we clique pretty well, so give face lo! :D

Night gown...

I hope the groom treats her well. hmmmmm........ hai....

Us. From the left: PR manager and her hubby. Her kid is in front of me. Very grouchy girl, haha but cute lah, she modeled for many children's magazine and fashion show hor!

Meihong, the designer!

Me! with the cute girl...

The bride and groom.

Kimberley

And jia bin. When i first saw her at the reception, we keep pointing to each other and say you look familiar! but we just cannot recalled where we meet! haha, yuan lai, she is ex writer for o!taste.

Us!

The food at wedding dinner is not nice, hai. The people here really cant cook. Other places in msia, food all v nice.

Ben lai kim wants to eat supper after the wedding. I'm already half dead and still v full, so we went back hotel room. Thank goodness!

Sleeping at 4am the night before and waking up at 10am, travelling so far is real tiring. I lay flat on the bed and can fall asleep anytime. Hai, but the editor was sharing with me her stories and it wasnt very nice to doze off like that.

but im damn tired.

slowly slowly, while she gets heated up and more anxious to share with me her story, the more my eyes closed. so kim talks, while i only answer her after 15 mins, not really knowing what she talk about. but agar agar can guess. Im sorry for being so rude, but im really tired! haha

Then something happened in the middle of the night. we locked our hotel room door before we sleep, i did double check too. Then at 130am in the middle of the night, there were noises outside our hotel room, loud noises and there's actually a kid opening our door!

FREAK OUT totally.

Not me, but kim. Because by that time i was already unconscious! Die, if i travel alone how. PIG! rah

it was only when kim opens the door, and make a loud shhhhhh that woke me up. She then told me what happened and said that she freak out. I acknowledged with a "ORH" and continue sleeping!

sorry, not that i was being unsympathatic or what lah, but i really knock out. I think after that, she continued sharing her story.

while i was in my dreamland....:p

So next morning, we woke up and went for breakfast. I have assam laksa which was horrible again. Then we had some time so we went shopping at tusco.

I haven't used up my money because all the food is paid by kim, including the hotel (RM88!) and the massage. So i spent away my RM50 buying some biscuits home for my family.

We had light snacks AGAIN at tusco - Durian puff and roti prata! Great, light snacks!

Kim bought this bag for me as a gift to wish me 开工大吉, though i m still not sure where am i working! haha. i chose it. time to go mature! haha

The PR manager drove me back home. Thank you. Brushed up before ah yi and i bring ah gong to orchard road to see the xmas lightings! We ate our favourite indonesian bbq chicken at Plaza sing, then slowly walked our way to somerset and orchard. I need to take photos for 313somerset to complete my sianzonline writeup for this month.

It's the holidays, so im abit late in my writeup. sorry yuanhong! :(

i have received many msn msgs from not-very-close friends telling me congrats that i got this job, congrats i got that job, congrats i went for a job interview blah blah blah. It's real scary, considering i never share in details about any of my job offers nor interview in my blog and only tell like 2 or 3 person on earth. And even people who are close to me aren't aware where did i go and what did i do. And when I ask how they knew, it's from another not-very-close peers, and the link was very far.

it's kinda scary. News spread very fast. Too fast. I don't even know how it reach them. And please lor, it's not some presidential job or anything. And i havent accept anything! so nothing to congrats lah!

Ok that's all for the msia trip. N i haven't blog about the xmas eve. haha. that's way too many photos.

Last interview tomolo, i hope that hirer don't hire me in 3 minutes again, i will go bongus.

time to hit the sack now and to the gym tomolo.
