Celebration of passing mid twenty something

My birthday was a week ago. I went to bed hearing husband whispered "Happy Birthday, baby" and woke up hearing him whispered "Happy Birthday, baby" and then he kept annoying me by saying "Happy Birthday, baby" for a whole day before he went to work, FaceTime me at work, the moment he walked into the door back from work, while driving out for dinner, while having dinner, while coming back home, before going to bed, before he finally turned around and Zzzzz. I'm pretty sure it was closed to a hundred time.

I was surprised I didn't dream about "Happy Birthday, baby" that night.




It was snowing on that day, that my husband had to text me and FaceTime me to make sure I look out the window that he called it" White birthday."
He's annoying I know, but I love it. Haha.

Knowing how excited husband was (and I was not) about snowing on my day, I decided to dress up; grab my instant camera; go outside and took a photo.



I thought 26 is going to be a big change for me, but no, I think I've changed since I'm married to this amazing man -- my better half who each day gives me love, joy and happiness and has embraced me and let me grow into woman he can be more proud of.

... I guess? hehehe

Dear Birthday, let's be a grown-up and act like adult and this is going to last birthday post ever. Just because I think there's nothing special about birthday celebration when you're not a kid anymore. 

Let the day be the day to reflect what have you been through; all the choices you made; what change you need to make; the plans you have and what you need to do to make them happen. I wished to fast-forward my age to 26 & 30 sooner when I was 18, but I guess I'll choose to enjoy every age and stage I goes through rather than wishing I'm getting old faster. Because life does fly somehow in spaceflight speed and I miss out a lot of things and people when I was busy focus only on one thing. 

Last but not least, dear birthday, let my heart be content, be young, be humble, be eager, be courious like a child, but let my head has all the answers for all the things in the world. Let me has no fear in doing what I want to do even in the face of uncertainty; let me be confident that I can do anything I set my heart to; let me be brave enough to believe in myself; let me still love people for the way they are, let me be inspired and love. 

Come away with me

No matter how independent we both are, living as a married couple, we still love the idea of running away together. We both are just a pair of birds and I love the idea thinking us as a pair of beautiful Blue Jay.

Another place, another story.

I've been married for 55 days now. If you would ask me how I feel to be married, then I must say it is great, it is wonderful. You experience the new feeling that is unable to describe. There are things that we have to admit that it is good to have an extra hand support yours and do it together, you know, like washing dishes, cleaning up the kitchen, collecting the trashes... etc. Hehehe.

Having husband to help with little house chores after he is back from work is wonderful feeling, because I know I wouldn't find this best husband anywhere. This is one of the thing that I most appriciate. But anyway, I don't want to blah blah blah about my husband or how lucky I am here and now. Actually, there are many pictures in my camera--which my husband got me for my birthday few weeks ago, but I don't know what to post and I just have no idea what I want to talk about. In my camera, besides capturing my husband's face, my visit in D.C with my friend, and umm some testing pictures, there are only FOODS pictures that I cooked. Yes, my husband wants me to take pictures of every foods I make. But most of all, he knows I love photography and he wants me to enjoy taking photograph again.

Anyway, I'll try updating more and post what I have in my camera while working on our projects. Have I mentioned I just paint our office and family room downstair? Yes I have. I've done it by myself. Husband said I should be proud of myself, and here I am, I'm proud and pleased with what I have done. But without husband's encouragement and freedom to let me do what I want to do, I would never have done it. I'm glad I can pick up what I want to do and never had time to do it. I enjoy this simple pleasure. Now, I'm writing here as an initial step to get on with my little home projects and I'll try document it here. But right now, let's enjoy random pictures and video together!



There was a winter storm few days ago and we planned to walk down to have breakfast, but it started snowing heavily and I was freaking cold that I can't feel my hands and ears, so we just walked around the house and made this two random video clips. Bleh!

Okay, I'm too lazy to decide which photos I want to post and the computer is so slow, so later! Bye!

Until I become Cinderella!

Daddy's Little Girls!

Bee and Daddy

BEE: Daddy, Belle got my scooter!

DADDY: Let her play first honey. You're her big sister, sweetie!​ She will give you back soon.

Little BELLE: Bee, get the scooter back! Give Belle's Daddy! Daddy!!!!!

*in her fragmental speaking*

Little naughty Belle and Daddy

And I am pretty sure both of them are still on the dispute of claiming the right to get daddy their own property. Perhaps, we can call it "sisterhood."

Man! I feel like a woman!

It's been some years that I've never let go of myself and had a silly fun. It's been years for us that we  never laughed our belly off. I doubt where has our little girls in us gone. What has life done to us? Perhaps, we're all now grown-up. Perhaps, stress and strains has chained us. Perhaps we've never had times to meet often. Perhaps, perhaps. I thought I want some fun. I thought let forget about how old we are now. At least I want them to forget about life, and laugh real hard. Just for one day at least.

In the occasion of my little cousin birthday, I thought I should bring the camera (that heavy stuff!) and the notebook (he has it all!), so we can do photobooth together. Thank to my little Dino (Not human, of course!). He did us a huge favor! We went all silly and crazy in front of him and now we got all the pictures that we might don't want to show our children in the future (Heehee! or I might will). Everyone was running out of energy just because of doing insane photos, but we didn't want to stop until I had to run to restroom and threw up all the foods. How wasted! Yes! because I laughed too hard. My throat is sore and everyone said they sounds like men now. HAHA.

Let's look at BEHIND THE SCENE!

No, it's BEHIND THE PHOTO-BOOTH SCENE!

You may don't want to know even a CEO can be this crazy! But I fond of the idea that he doesn't like talking about politics, businesses or anything headaches. He loves having fun, talking silly over our catch up dinner! We--girls, should have done that long time ago. Now I told everyone let not talk about our stress and all the headaches all the time, instead try to have fun, treasure the precious times we barely have for each other. These day, I feel like the good old days!

P.S. Forgive me for the video quality. I compressed, so that I don't need to wait so long for uploading this 200MB plus video. 

P.S.S. Now! I feel like I want to sing this song!

Man! I feel like a woman!

Let's go girls! Come on.

I'm going out tonight, I'm feelin' alright

Gonna let it all hang out

Wanna make some noise, really raise my voice

Yeah, I wanna scream and shout

No inhibitions, make no conditions

Get a little outta line

I ain't gonna act politically correct

I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I'm a lady!

Men's shirts, short skirts

Oh, oh, oh, really go wild, yeah, doin' it in style

Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction

Color my hair, do what I dare

Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel

Man! I feel like a woman!

On foods & Companion

Taken at Seven Bright/Lucky Bright--a nice place to have breakfast and lunch.

Taken at Secret Recipe -- a new opened place in town. Not bad.

Taken at Magnolia -- my favorite place to have favorite dishes.

 Taken at Yakiniki Shiki Garden--Oh-so favorite place to have Japanese foods. If you love to have a yummier bbq, I'd recommend to go for Korean Food at Le Seoul. It's pricy, but it's worth every penny.

Taken at Asian Buffet Bar. I heart my breakfast there.  

Taken at Noodle Bar. Laksa is yum, esp the tofu.

Beside Yi Sang, DM Dim Sum is a place that serves a fine homemade dim sum with reasonable price.

My favorite places to have a nice cocktail are: A Pros Pub (I love being there on Fri-Sat-Sun. The singer sings beautifully) and Le Moon. In Kampot, there a very nice place too like Natural Bungalow. In Kep, needless to say, Tgnai Bang Chhat.

After all, I think the foods would taste more great when we have it with a wonderful companion.

So in my situation, if I am to rate, i'd give them 5 flowers and a bug. Heehee 

So yummy yummy, I've got love in my tummy!
