that's my dear uncle we call mak joi. He's on wheelchair since he's suffering from cancer. But this uncle of mine is a fighter. He has fought the disease ever since I was young. I think it has been more than 20 years since he was diagnosed. A great spirit indeed.
The akad nikah was very emotional. Amil (my cousin) is his first born. And it was a blissful event yet very touching for all of us.

July is also a month full of romance. It is also the month we got married. 8th of July is our anniversary. so it has been 3 years since we got married. We went to Mandi Mandi a fine dining restaurant situated in the heart of KL. its a malay fusion restaurant serving the best yet Masak Lemak Lobster with truffles.
we sat at the "pondok". the ambiance was nice, the food was great and the price was not bad.
We also celebrated Fuzz's 32nd birthday on the same month. I planned a surprise birthday party for him. Eric (fuzz's brother) handled the venue and the barbequed food while I and my brother Faris did the desert and the rest of the food and beverage. It was also the first time Fuzz's mom, aunt and sister met my family after we've got married due to some circumstances. nonetheless it was a fun party.
this cool cake was done by my friend kaye. Fuzz once told me that he wanted a turntable cake when he saw one of his student had it for his birthday. So I called my friend kaye whom I know from college and has a cake business. Fuzz was thrilled to see his turntable cake. Initially I wanted to do a small intimate surprise party/ cook out. but it turned out to be quite big with the turn up. The food was not enough for everyone but luckly Fuzz's mom came and brought a big tupperware of beehoon goreng. all good.
Hari raya came very shortly after. We did'nt went back to kuala kangsar like we always do. So we spent more time visiting families in KL.
Our raya family photo is usually taken at my sister's house. we always celebrate 1st day of raya at her house since my mom is staying there.

We went to Bangkok on September. This time we took najwa (fuzz's lil sister) along. We decided to go on a shopping spree while we were there. So we took najwa to Chatuchak weekend market. Chap Chap Chap as pronounced by Najwa. She was instantly mesmerized by all the treasures u could find there. Even the cold drinks was excellent!
so after shopping, we stopped at chatuchak park to cuci mata and enjoy the best iced tea in the world! and some PDA
a picture with DJ Ono. Notice how Najwa look so elated in this picture? thats coz she has a little crush on Ono. hahaha...we took najwa to Bed Supper Club where Ono is spinning. Fuzz was working that night.
October was the month when my best friend got engaged! Farah and Hasif met when we were still in high school. But they only got together as a couple a few years after. Farah and I have been friends for 17 years now, so i was definately excited when she got engaged.
her make up was done by me. she wanted a simple and sweet look. it was an honour for me to be able to do her makeup.
that's her fiance's mom. She's just a sweet lady.
Far with the hantarans...and her soon to be mother in law.
That's Hasif her fiance. They're both engaged! they just look sooo happy. Im happy for them too.
Bangkok again. We went there for the 3rd time to pick up where we left off. Shopping in Bangkok is never ending. So we went again to update violet white boutique's stocks. This time, we went to different places to shop and tried different places to eat.
this was when we went to McD to surf the net. najwa was excited about fuzz's webcam that she decided to force all of us to fool around with her using the webcam. we had fun. the thais was looking at us like we're crazy. haha...
this is a picture i took on the pedestrian bridge in front of central world at around noon. I looove this picture so much cause it captured the true essence of Bangkok - traffic jam...

December was calm and steady. This year, we had our christmas dinner at Delicious Dua Residency. It was not as crazy as the previous years, but we did have fun. This year was different, instead of giving gifts to each and everyone like the previous years, we decided to do secret santa where we only give to one person by drawing a name... it was different definitely. the good part was that we saved a lot of money but the down side was that we only got 1 present each, well actually 2 each coz Dzianti already bought pressies for everyone way ahead.

we also went to Sriracha Tiger zoo. Fuzz's friend shomori and his girlfriend Apple brought us there to look at tigers. we even got the chance to feed a cub.
these cute orang utans looks sooo bored. They probably had to sit there all day every day to take pictures with visitors. poor them.
when we got back, god gave us a present. kimmy gave birth to a kitten! her name is Zoey. She was the only kitten. She's just adorable. She was born on the 1st of october 2009

Far showing off her engagement ring. In malay culture, they're suppose to give a band instead of a ring unlike the western engagement rings. Its the total opposite, while the westerners give wedding bands, we give a ring with a big rock on it.

dzianti gave me baju tido which i loooovee very much. Me and Fuzz decided to give the same present (a HP printer). we thought that by giving te same present, we are doing justice to the person receiving it. Coz i wouldn't wanna give a lame present while fuzz gave a totally awesome printer. But the funny thing was, Shez also bought the SAME printer and guess who got it? ME!!! hahahaha... its like buying myself a printer. It was hella funny.
So, 2009 ended with a lot of memories, love and fun travels. 2009 was a good year for us and it brought us more blessings and love in 2010.
