On day 02, we spent most of the day playing water sports, cycling around the island and visiting the local shops. It started raining in the afternoon, so we hid inside the hotel and played Monopoly Deal. At night, we had candlelight BBQ dinner just next to our hotel.

Taylor's University | Convocation May 2016

Officially graduated as a Quantity Surveyor. Officially joined the Taylor's University alumni. Been waiting for this day for 3.5 years and I finally made it. Uncountable datelines, sleepless nights and stressful days were the struggles I faced as an undergraduate student. Now that I am done, I am proud and thrilled. The journey was dreadful yet marvellous. It was bitter sweet.

Our 1000th Day

Please watch it in HD

At 5:34 (in the video) was recorded last Saturday. The boyfriend came to my hometown last weekend to celebrate our early 1000th day together. After picking up the boyfriend at the airport, we headed downtown to have our brunch. There he showed me the video he made as a gift for our 1000th day together. I cried the first minute watching the video as many memories was played back and we had made a lot of happy memories together. It was such a thoughtful gift and I am very touched.

A Walk Down Memory Lane of 2015

2015 has been a wonderful year filled with lots of happiness and also sadness. Tho there were ups and downs (mostly ups), it has been a great year for me. I have learnt so much in relationship, friendship, studies and also career (my blog).

I was reorganising my pictures in my external hard disk the other day and half way through my hard disk decided to crash on me. With 900GB full of data, I only managed to recover less than 100 GB of my stuff. All my pictures and uni's stuff are gone. Fortunately, I used to upload my pictures to Google Drive so I managed to save some.

Without further ado, here is my 2015 in review and my 2015 highlights.

A Night with The Stars | QS Prom 2015

Last Saturday, I attended my last prom of my entire life. I took my last final paper last Wednesday and am officially ended my uni life. Okay, not until I pass all the subjects.

Months before the big day, I've been looking for a prom dress. I am unsure of the style I wanted so I've been looking for an inspiration from Pinterest and also fashion bloggers. Fortunately, I found one I like. 

Let me show you my dress. 

Our Second Anniversary @ San Nae Duel, Oasis Square

Last Saturday was our second anniversary. Two years, but it feels longer! 

The boyfriend and I didn't plan much during that very special day because we were too busy caught up with our studies and also his part-time work too. Being an understanding girlfriend, I just asked for a dinner. 

The boyfriend brought me to Oasis Square for a Korean BBQ dinner. 

January Recap (In Pictures)

Countdown 14 days

As I'm counting down to end my internship, at the same time, I'm counting down to CNY as well. 

Chun's and his family are coming to KK during CNY, so excited cause his family is going to visit me for the first time. And I am so not going to let both our parents meet yet. 

Feel so awkward just thinking about it.

I always thought my mom would not like my boyfriend, just so you know, she likes to use Chun more than she likes him as my boyfriend. 

"Ask your boyfriend do this for me" "ask your boyfriend do that for me" and never say thank you in return. Like my boyfriend has to do stuff to please her. 

And always ask me why don't I find a richer boyfriend. *smack head* but my answer will always makes her go speechless and reply me with "that's my daughter"

My answer to her question is 

Why not find a man who knows how to earn money and become rich? Why do I have to find a man that is already rich? If he doesn't know how to earn, he will eventually.. become poor. Haha. 

#smartmaterialisticgirlfriend 

Back to my thoughts... 

As I said I thought my mom would not liked my boyfriend, but she's been telling me to tell my boyfriend how to work his career for better future..

and this CNY, she asked me to use her brand new Honda Accord to bring Chun's family around. 

I was like, 'what? Say again?' 

"You know your myvi is small, how can you fit 6 person in there?" 

"Just squeeze a little can ady" 

"Accord bigger, can fit more. And who's going to drive?"

"Me!"

"What? You okay or not?" 

Is she asking Chun's father to drive? Like... you willing to let your brand new car to Chun? 

Oh wow.. haha

Day Trip to Chamang Waterfall in Bentong, Pahang

Two weeks right after my visit to Sungai Lembing, Pahang, I had joined the boyfriend and his collegue to Bentong, Pahang. It was actually a company trip or they called it family trip. Like the last trip, we were forced to wake up before sunrise and gathered in Cheras (boyfriend's company).

To save fuel and mother earth, we carpooled with the boyfriend's cousin to our destination. Took us around 1 hour to reach Bentong from Cheras, shorter distance compared to Sungai Lembing.

Chamang Waterfall is the main attraction in Bentong, and for food, their famous tofu puff and overwhelming coffee is quite popular. We didn't get to try the food there when we visited because we couldn't make it to the Pasar Besar Bentong in time. 

Pasar Besar Bentong is a morning wet market which sells local vege and food. My uncle told me to go early in the morning for breakfast there and try out their coffee. Well, sobs, couldn't make it because I went there with the boyfriend's company. I have no say to the itinerary. 

Chamang Waterfall, Bentong, Pahang.

It was raining the day before we visited Bentong, and the waterfall that day was tumbling down from the top. I could hear the downpour from the carpark. The view was majestic, the water is so clear and trees are everywhere. Mother nature, you're beautiful as always. 

Nature therapy is always free. 

pictures before we jumped into the water.

and here's the outcome. haha

Vivian again

Be very careful when you're in the water, because there was a sign board at the entrance telling how many people had died in the past few years here in this waterfall I was in. how scary.

The water was so so cold before 12pm, my teeth were grinding the moment I jumped into the water. The boyfriend's muscle was giggling at me too. Haha.. The water was cascading and I was forced to keep swimming, but no matter how much I swam, I was still at stationary. I believed that I will be flown away if I stopped swimming. Imagine how thunderous the water was.

After some play time, we were asked to get back to the land for our lunch. We had Malaysian delight, Nasi Lemak as our lunch.

Me queuing for my food



Happy girl with her food

After lunch, went to took my shower in the public toilet while the boyfriend and my brother continue their fun time in the water. I was tempted to jump back in to the water, but I couldn't bare to wait for shower later when everyone was ready to leave.

There's was nothing much I could say about this place other than the free nature therapy I get from the Mother Earth. I've seen a lot of Malay families picnicking dy the river. They seems like they had been coming to this place quite lots of time. I don't know, Just guessing by the stuffs they brought.

Anyway, time passes real quick and it's time for us to leave. waiting for the rest to shower, then we packed and off we go home. 



Goodbye, Chamang Waterfall.

and so. Chamang Waterfall day trip ends here.

Goodbye, May

Spent the last day of May eventfully.

Boyfriend bought me a ticket to a stress management tea talk at Great Eastern Mall, Ampang yesterday. The talk was great, I love it and I have learnt a lot. and now, I have a better understanding about stress, acknowledging them and how to shed them away efficiently. It was a great morning, and thank you Chun for sharing this great opportunity to me.



After a productive day, went to Ru Huey's in house party at night. Made a few new friends there, and the party was so happening too. Here's an ootn. Got both top and skater skirt from Times Square at the price RM19 and RM45.

Feeling not appreciated

Just noticed one thing about boyfriend is that he never tried to blend in to my world, never got interested into my world. Okay, I don't know it it just me, or my boyfriend really don't.

I don't know if he noticed but he really shut me out when I told him about me and my life. Why do I say so?

When I was telling him about my stuff, he then will say, you know my work bla bla bla. It seems like he doesn't really notice when I am sad and happy.
I think my boyfriend is a little bit selfish.

He knows what he wants from me, but does he really think what I want from him? I have always do my best to be the better version of me, I don't know if he sees it or feel it, but somehow I feel like that is something I suppose to have or do.

Okay, maybe periods are coming soon, and my hormones is triggering my mood and feelings now.

Sigh. I need some love, a hug will do actually.

Cries.

Goodbye, for the first time

Dear Chun,

I'm writing this to you in the airplane. I read your message in my iPad's notes. You made me teared up in the plane. Two empty seats are right beside me now, how I wish you were here. Thank you honey for asking me to stay over at your place, I know you are worried about me staying alone at home. Such a caring boyfriend I have there, but I know the other reason was spending more time together. Yes, I do complain about dumping me at home, because I was bored. I don't mind you were busy, I understand. I feel loved to stay home, waiting for you to come home. It feels like I'm already married to you. Something missing was our child so I will feel less bored at home. Your family treating me well, accept me for who I am. I hope I did my best as your girlfriend. I'm happy to be your first customer, I hope my case could close as soon as possible. And I hope I am healthy enough for not getting reject from your company. I'm so grateful, so grateful right now. I'm grateful that I met you in my life, be part of your life and spend the rest of my life together. I'm grateful that I met such a loving family, thanks to your dad I feel the love of having a dad, thanks to your bro, I feel like a little sister. Thanks to your mom for the unconditional love towards my sickness, my hunger and everything else. Thanks to your younger brother, for always talking to me when I'm going out with your family but without you. Thank you for the trip to Genting during first day of 2014. Thank you for spending the last day of 2013 with me and my brother. Thank you for giving me a second home away from my Sabah. Thank you honey, I love you very very much. Promise me one thing. If there is anything wrong with our relationship, fix it, not change it.

Love,
Cynnie

Christmas Deco in Pavillion

The second day Boyfriend sleepover at my place after Finals. He wore my bro's tshirt and his own pants. I brought no clothes, but left some clothes here last time. I'm sorry Aunty Chun, I kidnapped your son for so long.

Since we couldn't get any prom dress last night, I asked boyfriend if he could bring me to KL to look for it. He agreed so we headed down to KL right after our job in campus.

and this is us stuck in traffic jam.

Yeah, me looking like a hobo and boyfriend said I still look good without makeup and contact lens.

All the picture of me are taken by Boyfriend. He likes photography so yea.

Finally, got my prom dress, a pump heels, boyfriend's prom blouse and a singlet.

Boyfriend got a little pissed off today cause I spend most of the time looking for shoe, tried lots of shoe but I was not satisfied.

Bf: " Next time if you wanna shop for shoe, don't ask me anymore. "

Me: " What about clothes? "

Bf: " Clothes okay, but shoe you took a long time"

But honestly, your leg support you, so a comfy shoe is very important. I found a lot of nice looking shoe, but it's hard to find a pretty and comfortable heels. At the end of the day, I got a pumps. So thank you boyfriend, for being patient all this time.

Third Monthsary

Forced boyfriend to sleepover at my place last night cause we had prom night backdrop to do today. Pity us that we could not rest right after our finals.

and.

today was our 3rd monthsary. Boyfriend had planned to bring me for dinner and night view secretly, who knows the QS Society asked me to work for prom night. our celebration pretty much got cancelled.

Since we could not have fancy dinner and spend a romantic night. Boyfriend brought me to Paradigm Mall to look for my prom dress.

Picture taken before we headed out. was tiptoe-ing to smell my boyfriend and so he snap a picture of us like this.

Looking for shoe. so this is how my back looks like.

My boyfriend photography skill. Nice?

Us while taking the escalator down. Blurry yet lovely.

Tried this Chinese looking gown, so pretty but doesn't match the prom theme.

To sum up everything, our night was just pretty much shopping, looking for prom dress. Went 2 shopping malls, Paridigm Mall and 1Utama Shopping Mall but ended up bought nothing.

picture taken in Starbucks Sungei Wang.

there was no any intention to date in the city but because boyfriend had to work for a fashion show in Sungei Wang and I had a private Talika event to attend in Pavilion, this marks our first time hanging around in KL city. Well, our first time here was not romantic as any other couple do, but both of us were actually having a productive day.

shopping? no. movie? no. just a tiny Starbucks date while waiting for Samuel and Michelle to arrive for our assignment. it was pretty much not romantic tho. haha. okay, fine. I must let my boyfriend to return me a real date in the city soon.

well.. so after all our tasks, got home and brought my bro out for dinner. it was their first time meeting each other. they get along quite well, I can say. basketballs really get both of them together. ahh.. my two fave men, how cute. hahaha, and I still remembered how boyfriend winked at me while talking to my bro, that face, that expression, cuteness overload! (^-^)
