Why wasn't I born rich?

We have been looking at houses to buy, and I want to own a car which I can call my own... A BMW would be good.. I want to live in a lush house one fine day with my own garage to park my BMW in it.. 

The question here: Would we be able to afford any of these? OF COURSE and I am very positive about it! I am now working very hard, trying to earn whatever I can, and my dream is to move back to the island (once I have saved enough) I was born, together with my husband and our future kids, and to live there like a king!

Sometimes mama complains that we don't give her any pocket money, not that she needs it, but it is something which makes all parents proud I guess. I wish I can, but I hope you understand now that I am trying to save up some $$$ and buy myself a house first.

I guess everyone wants to be rich, but some choose to live the poor... I see so many youngsters here in Barcelona begging for money, together with their dogs. They are not even one inch close to being disable but yet they choose to beg... They have to beg when they can afford to buy beers and to feed their dogs?

Anyway, had this conversation with my hubby just not long ago... READ BELOW!

--------------------------------------------

me: "why wasn't I born rich?"

hubby: "you had the chance to marry the rich but you lost your chance by dumping them"

me: "at least I am happy today, and I don't know what kind of person I would be if I was still with one of them today. Can you imagine? O.M.G"

--------------------------------------------

P.S: To all my dear friends who are married, or going to be married, you chose this path, so appreciate what you have chosen and make the best out of it...

I chose this path! I used to date the rich but marrying a rich might allow you to shop in Louis Vuitton, Chanel or Gucci or Hermes without worrying about how empty your pocket is going to be, and you don't need to come home to a place where there is no lift and to add to that, living on the 5th floor... and no air-condition when it is 31 degrees in summer (although we are going to get one as I don't mind spending 700 euros for one. I can't be feeling uncomfortable in my own house).

However, as per my dear friend, Wei Wei, she used to say, God is fair. For example in this case, if he's rich, he's either fat, ugly or smth. If you are beautiful, you might be a bimbo or stupid. 

** Hence, my husband isn't rich but he has all the qualities a woman would want in her man (although I feel like strangling him at times LOL) I am proud to call him mine!
and I had the wedding I have always wanted (lush and beautiful), though I wanted a wedding gown of my own... *love you darling*

** Have been chanting "baby's skin to be fair like mine, nose to be like his (a lil smaller though), and to have his eyes".. Who knows it might work if I were to chant from now onwards till I conceive one in 2 yrs time? LOL

Nope, he's not indian.. he's 1/4 Peruvian, 1/4 Chinese, 1/2 Iranian (he's not Muslim though).. and me, I am 3/4 Chinese, 1/4 Mongolian.. do you see the color difference? I want my baby to be as fair as me... although he hates that I am so white... everyone in Barcelona says I should get some tan.. :(

what have you guys got to say???

Pre-wedding Video: A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (MEMOIR)

I am now in Andorra visiting my MIL. Will be back in Barcelona tomorrow as it's a holiday tomorrow. I will blog a little more on what I have been doing in Andorra when I get back to Barcelona. You would then call me a materialistic woman.

------------------------------------------------

Anyway, here is a video I would like to share with my dear readers. It was done by my 2 good friends, Weng Khit and Cheryl, as our wedding gift. It also came with 2 photo albums (1 for us, another for my parents, how lovely can these friends be and how lucky can you be to have such friends?) 

We took all these photos the day after we had our pre-wedding photo session with our bridal shop (Blissful Bridal Studio). So it was another tiring day but was all worth it. We had Mei Chen and Lenny who followed us the whole day (Wei Wei and Ben for half the day or maybe just an hour?), and of course we did stop for food, LAKSA it was at Teluk Bahang.*mouth watering* Penang laksa is the best!!!

We went to a couple of places in Penang:

i) Penang Butterfly farm (where I was so scared of those tiny tiny butterflies when I am huge myself);

ii) Penang Reserved Jungle (Hutan Rimba);

iii) Teluk Bahang dam;

iv) Laksa place YUMMY!!;

v) Some sua pa (secluded) place near to Queensbay (i think that place was under construction);
vi) Penang Explanade; and lastly

vi) SOHO Free House, cause Zenzi Bar was closed that day and a bar is a must for a beer of course! LOL

Why am I now only sharing this video on my blog? Looking at all my friends having their wedding reception now, it brings back all the memories of my wedding day back in December 2010. 

This video which I am about to show you guys was played before we went up to the suite to change for our 2nd grand entrance. But I was so pissed that the hotel had some audio problem (FTS) that night where the pictures were only shown without the music. ARGH!!!!

Please enjoy the video! It's very beautiful!!! I am falling in love with this video over and over again! xoxo

Being angry doesn't help but makes it more painful

Remember my previous entry on how someone close to you can break your heart?

I just found out the whole real situation last night and I literally EXPLODED!!! I have never seen myself in that stage and it scared the shit out of me... sorry for my language! But seriously, I totally lost my temper, and I thought I was going crazy and I wished I own a private jet where I can just fly home anytime I want.

------------------------------------------

I have got friends here, I am not that pathetic.. sometimes I feel that I haven't got anyone here but I do, it's just that I don't quite feel so comfortable yet to reveal everything (although I do it very often FTS)... When I needed to speak to someone last night, I had no clue who to call cos it was like 6am in Malaysia. ARGH!!!!! kek si wah (frustrated)!

I got my parents so worried today. When you are far away (disadvanatage of being married to a foreigner), sending your parents or best friends, or siblings a text message saying you are down, they will automatically feel sad. I am so sorry mum, dad, Yvonne (if you were actually worried LOL) and of course my lovely brother who called and cheered me up! Never knew my brother would be my best friend today cos he never did like to go out with me when I was younger (we're talking about when I was below 18 cos when I reached the age of 18, I was his farm helper [u know what I mean, he and his friends would try to hit on my girlfriends and so they call it "farming"]).

So, after all the shouting and screaming (of course they all came from me), as my husband is the so-ever- calm-guy... I finally realised we were fighting over nothing!

I have been married for only 1 year now, there is still so much to learn!!! Dear readers, I will not lie that my life is filled with colours. However, I am not complaining though cos I chose this path and I will, we will, make it work!

P.S: If he does it, I promise I will bring a dog home VERY SOON! cos it all started because of the dog (who nearly killed me when I tried to snatch his bone once) At least my 2 dogs are lovely!

 That's his "ugly" dog which nearly killed me! *dislike* and also she stole my title "princess"

 Look at my precious Charlotte (fatty chihuahua)

Look at my precious Pepi (fatty chihuahua)

Why are my dogs fat? Cos their owner ain't Paris Hilton... xoxo

Why is it that even someone so close to you breaks your heart?

I had a row with my husband last night!!! Mummy says (ok everyone in the universe says) it is bad to say bad things or even do bad things to your husband that you might regret later. So what did I do this time?

I tortured myself instead by SLEEPING ON THE SINGLE BED IN OUR SECOND ROOM!!!! Not that I am complaining cos it wasn't that bad at all, new bed, with the window right beside me, with the nice air to cool me down... 

and him on the huge bed all by himself must be horrible without me... LOL

------------------------------------------

BACK TO THE ISSUE...

Why did we argue??? of course it was over some stupid issue... I have been having problems with this particular someone which I do not want to mention and UNFORTUNATELY, this person is affecting me. FML!

I have been making efforts in forgiving this person as Buddha teaches us to forgive and to forget... Not that I have been reading books/ learning from monks, but my mum relays to me all of Buddha's teaching. Yes I am a Buddhist and proud to be one! and I believe in KARMA! Anyway, I am a very forgiving person (hate myself for that cos I always end up being bullied), but to forget is a very difficult task for me! I AM A WOMAN if you are not aware of!

As mentioned I have been making efforts to accept this person again, but hubby thinks that I am still angry mangry that he doesn't want to mention a s**t to me! Fine that he wants to protect my feelings but even if I am still angry mangry, I still want to know what is happening although I don't want to at times. Cos I AM KAYPO (nosy)!!!!

You know, the thing is, the more you try to keep a conversation limited, the more your partner will feel that you are hiding something from him or her although he or she isn't.

The worst thing, this all happened cos he got a message in his FB and I wanted to see and he said no... WHY did he say no???? Cos my best friend, Yvonne Ng, once sent me a message on FB and I got all super upset when he read it without my permission!!! But that was different, it was without my permission but this was with his permission... ISH!

Anyway, I am a strong woman... This is just a small obstacle in life/ in a relationship! If life is to be good all year round or all your life, then it isn't life, you must be already in heaven or something.

He knows I forgive him in minutes, but this time I wanted to show him that I can be angry for 1 night. He can make it up by simply buying me McD or a simple dinner outside... That's how easy it is for him to win my heart back...

To everyone out there: Treasure the one you love, you might hurt each other at times, but it is OK, it's just part of life. Just make sure you make it up after that!!! xoxoxo

Ex-boyfriends with similar birth dates!

Today is the birthday of both of my ex-bfs... Happy birthday to the both of you, Tiam and Eugene!

Here I am wishing you all the best in your life!!!

I am now having a good life, I believe you guys are having the same too...

These 2 were born on the 6th of June, however one of them was a year later though. :D

--------------------------------

Another 2 ex-bfs have got the same dates as well but different month different year... Made my life easier though in remembering dates. LOL

I did try to have same dates for my wedding, my anniversary, my husband's birthday, etc... but unfortunately, all of them are different. The good thing is, it keeps my brain working!

I know this entry is lame but anyway... I need to get back to my thesis... wish me luck!!! xoxo

You think you are smarter? Then you are wrong!

Ok, I am a member of Metropolitan gym. Guess how I became a member???

They have got many branches in Barcelona itself, if not mistaken 4 of them.

Me and my husband like the one near to our place, which is more convenient, and this will make us go to the gym more often. Previously, I was signed on to another gym called DIR which is a Catalunya gym... I only go once a week and paying €50 a month. Cos it's too far away from home. Just thinking of going to the gym KILLS ME! If not mistaken, they do not have any branches in any other part of Spain but only in Catalunya.

The story here is....

1) I quit DIR and we tried to sign up with Metropolitan, the one which is near to my house

2) We didn't want to pay a huge amount for the registration fee which was €150, and they told my husband there is no way to reduce the price even if we were to commit ourselves for the 6 months contract cos they are on high demand for the couple's package.

3) We went to another branch which was quite far from where we live and registered there... and guess what? Not only the registration fee was waived, we even got a month free for both of us.

--------------------------------------

And now that we have signed up with the other branch (the one further away), no worries, we have just transferred our account to the one near to our house, and all we had to do was to pay €15 each for the transfer fee. TA DAH!!! *this is not rocket science*

We saved €150 and got a month free. And we even got 2 introduction packages with 50% off for the massage, personal trainer, etc... which I know makes not much sense here but still....

So you think that your business is doing so great that we had to pay you that huge amount to join you? Then you are wrong, cos we were smarter than you by doing it in another way... although I know it was a bit of a hassle but who cares when you are able to save this much of money?!!!! AGREE???

LESSON: There are always alternatives in life! So find it and try it...

**Bye for now, off to the cinema to watch X-MEN!!! WOOOHOOOO... xoxo
