I've been insanely zombiefied and caffeinated for the past two weeks. Nadiah told me 'Ibah, you're nuts. Nuts!' which cracks me up. She has been accompanying me till midnight, chatting up in between staying awake at work. Going home from work at 5am for two straight weeks wasn't that bad actually. Traffic is super clear and the weather's always balmy and chilly.
I thank God that I have my main support beside me all the time. I love him.
Surprisingly, living life in the fast lane doesn't affect my social life at all. Managed to catch up with old friends, meeting up with new ones, attended all sorts of family luncheons/dinners, preparing for my big day and traveling a little bit here and there.
Weekends were filled with happy activities, that's for sure. Traveled to Penang a week after my engagement which was an absolute fun. Brought mom to taste food that she has never tasted before - nasi daun pisang and sushi. I could imagine her surprise but she had lotsa fun too. Head on to Passions of Kerala along Burmah Road if you happen to be in Penang. The owner is a lovely Indian lady who shared with us her cooking tips and secrets. But the best time I must say was during a small little hike up in Spice Garden where we sat on a giant swing and had lovely drinks at a cafe on top of the hill overlooking Batu Feringghi. They have a big jar of lovely lotus on each table. Which I think is sweet and perfect for a small wedding reception. The place is so cosy surrounded by huge trees.
Two weeks back, I finally had the chance to meet up with my flickr friend nicknamed 'kediwah' which means 'us' in kelabit. Chris and Sam are a lovely couple, proud film supporters I may add, who always stream on my photostream and share with me street shots they stumble upon in flickr. Chris is originally from SFO while Sam is a Kuchingite who now resides in Wellington. They were back in Malaysia on a two weeks vacation. Another photographer friend also managed to join us that night; Reza Ali who inspired me a lot with his insights and Zac Labang from Euro. I think Chris drove my fiance crazy with his gadgets. Twas a great meet up alright with everyone having a jolly good time talking about photography. I shall post up the group photo if Chris happen to upload 'em on his flickr.
Here are some pics from today's lovely luncheon at Han's:
So rajin to upload stuff now that I got internet at home.
