another beautiful view...

and, us.... :)

some of them were playing mahjong while waiting for dinner time..

initially, we planned to have dinner at Portugis Settlement but too bad we couldn't find a parking as they were having some festival - San Pedro festival... so, we changed our mind and had Nyonya meal at Melaka Raya instead.... it was already 9-ish, everyone was so hungry and we didnt take any photo... :P

after dinner, all of us went to the famous Jonker Street... next, we went for beer and karaoke at The Nest... it was my second visit there... heheee... :P

see those colorful lights... so many new pubs and snooker/pool centre there...

trying to imitate his nephew's naughty face - FAILED... heheee...

Sushi Zanmai

Sushi Zanmai @ One Utama

24/06/2009

it was just another boring Wednesday, and we decided to go for a movie at One Utama.... there're few shows going on for Transformers, but we didnt manage to get our tickets of course... hahaaa... ended up, we watched Drag Me To Hell... and, our seats were forth rows from the screen... crazy !!

then, we had our dinner at Sushi Zanmai... it's been quite some time since i last eat there...

random pic....

my Dear Dear.... so "action", doesnt want to look at the camera !!

the chubby me.... how la, how la... need to take bridal photo soon... still as chubby as ever !! hahaaa.... so stress laaa....

making faces....

Dear ordered Unadon (RM15.80), i had Sashimi Salad with Sesame Dressing (RM12.80), Soft Shell Crab Maki (RM 6.00) and Ebiten Ebikko Maki (RM6.00)....

we also had Tempura Moriawase (RM9.80)....

a California Temaki (RM4.80)....

after our heavy dinner, we walked around the One Utama while waiting for our movie at 9.50pm.... it was a boring horror movie ever... hahaa....

The Proposal

as some of you had already know, but still, i need to announce it here...

yes, my Dear has already officially proposed to me last Sunday.... why i said OFFICIALLY ?? on and off, we've been sharing our thoughts and desires about marriage... and, from time to time he will ask me to marry him.... hehee...

it actually suprises lots of my relatives, friends and colleagues.... hehee...

some even asked me "Why so rush?", "Wah, so fast ?!", "Do you really know this person??" and so much more.... sometimes, things happened... and this is called FATE !!

once, i asked a friend of mine who is happily married with a pair of baby twins ... she just knew her husband for half a year, then engaged to him and the wedding followed after another half a year...

Me: What makes you marry so early ?? You just knew him for half a year and you are engaged to him ? and then, marry him ??

Friend: This is called FATE. I doesnt want things to be repeated. Even though you dated for years, but in the end, it doesnt bring you to marriage - NO POINT ! It's a waste of time and money....

Me: yeaa, it is so TRUE !!

i totally agreed with that... and, now i'm in the same situation as hers... :) we actually plan to get married end of next year, but most of the people said that "Two daughters cannot marry in the same year"... since my sis already planning for end of next year, so we have to bring forward ours... :)

back to the topic... for most of the people out there, i believe you guys propose first before discussing further about wedding dinner, which bridal shop to go for, so and so... as for me, it's a bit different... hehee...

we actually looked for a place for our wedding dinner and signed up a Pre-Wedding bridal package at a Bridal Fair before my Dear proposed to me... in fact, after we've done all that together, i'm still waiting for him to propose... weird, huh ?!!

"THE PROPOSAL"

it was just a normal Sunday at his home.... i was way too tired after spending the whole Saturday looking for the hotel and bridal package at Midvalley... so, i took my afternoon nap in his room while he was clearing his wardrobe....

and, my Dear quietly put a small paper bag on the pillow next to me and he continued doing his things... he even sent me a text trying to wake me up but failed miserably... !! i was really dead tired, even my phone rang also, it doesnt wake me up... heheee... i'm a PIG, ok !! :P

after around half an hour, i automatically woke up... and quickly checked my handphone... i saw a missed call and a text message from my Dear... don't know why, it felt so strange... !! then, i turned around and saw the red paper bag.... i opened it carefully, and saw a RING inside... hehee...

immediately, i went out to the other room looking for my Dear... and pretended nothing had happened... he thought that i didnt know about the ring and quickly brought me back into his room... and then, he PROPOSED...

nice little maroon box....

and my little engagement ring... can you see it ?? heheee...

a close up....

that's all about it.... no photos of us.. hehee...

we're quite busy preparing for our big day... hope to make it an unforgettable and memorable day for both of us...

by the way, our wedding will be on January 2010....

more updates coming soon...

Our Love Story

~ Our Love Story ~

** Jay & Atrica **

after being thru so many ups and downs, i almost give up on starting a new relationship... that was early this year.... didn't know that GOD has arranged someone for me out there...

on the fateful Valentine's Day - 14th Feb 2009, i've got to know my Dear thru my highschool mate - Andrew aka Wai Keong during our outing together.... things doesnt happened on the same day.... in fact, we didnt talk much to each other, definately not those LOVE at FIRST sight thingie... hehee.... but we managed to exchange our numbers (he asked for my number first, ok?!!).... :P

from there, we started off by texting each other almost everyday for weeks... don't know how, but somehow... both of us have the same feeling that we're meant for each other... and, everything started off on 26/02/09 when he asked me out for a movie (The Punisher) at One Utama Shopping Mall... i wont elaborate more about it... hehee...

basically, that's how it started and we've been together ever since... going stronger and stronger each day...

in case some of you doesnt know, me and my Dear had been together for almost 4 months !! yes, it's just 4 months as on 26/06/2009 !! ... hehee...

"The Proposal" coming up next....

stay tuned....
