I was home at my parents’ place for the weekend for a cousin’s wedding. Since he’s half Rungus, it was decided that he should have a Rungus-style wedding – and boy, it was awesome!

This is how his pelamin Rungus looked like:

The Rungus motif at the backdrop was done by *ahem*, me of course. *flutters eyelash* The rest of the pelamin was done by the rest of the family and relatives. It was hard work, but everyone enjoyed it!

I also get to use my long-abandoned freelance makeup artist service on that day. I worked my magic on FIVE women (SIX, if you include me) and I wasn’t tired at all! I still get to shake my booty after a few sips of tapai siopon. Bahhahahahha!

See if you can spot me :-P

For your info, I had a pretty top on during the wedding, but my brother made me change into the T-Shirt we’re selling. “Promotion bah..” he said. Oh well. Fine with me. And that wet spot on my shirt? It was the tapai! Aieeeeee.. I was made to drink and so I drank half-heartedly. But it was fun! Would do it again in a heartbeat.. LOL

So we’re officially a Sabahan now, which feels surprisingly awesome. :-P Especially since the towns are smaller and the roads could not get any busier than the one we previously had to endure day in, day out. Also I think the water over here are softer and does good things to my hair.

So far, we LOVE our new life here. Or rather, the fiance is enjoying his new life over here. And what’s more… we got ourselves a new puppy! \(^_^)/

A very, very naughty and playful puppy, but all is good. Currently, we’re reading manuals on How To Train Your Dragon Puppy. You’d be surprised at how many info you can gather through online alone!

Well, life is gonna be good over here. I’m really sure of it.

You bet!

Normally, I’d play Christmas music at the beginning of December. This year, I started playing it mid November. I’m feeling so Christmassy, perhaps? *hee* Also, maybe the fact that my fiance just got a very good job offer from this huge company and that we’re moving soon – just made my day. (or month!) And despite the hassles of packing stuff (again), I am glad to know that THIS could be the final packing I’ll make – except when we buy our new home and have to move again lah..

And the thought of being at home for Christmas is just so nice…. Being surrounded by the people that you grow up with, a pet that thought she’s human like us..and a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone! Oh I hope there’ll be weddings coming up! Last year we celebrated the grand wedding of my cousin, Will..and boy, did everyone had so much fun! I should’ve gotten his new wife a sexy wedding lingerie and make her wear it on her hens night! LOL

Oh well, hopefully there’ll be another cousin getting married this Christmas – I sooo cannot wait to eat some wedding cakes! Ha ha ha

A few… no, many years back, my mother gave birth to a healthy baby girl, and she named her, Cinderella. (well I don’t know whose idea was it to name the baby ‘Cinderella’. It could be my mother, it could also be my father) Cinderella was born with a mole on her upper right lid and unlike most people with dimples, she was born with a single dimple. Still cute, nonetheless. Ha ha ha

To make stories short, her name has been shortened to Cindy but everyone at home called her with another name (that I won’t mention here). Due to privacy reason lah bah.

One Saturday morning, while she was in her bedroom, jumping on the bed with her friends, Lu Ting and Ah Wei, she noticed a figure standing in front of her. She couldn’t tell whether it’s a boy or a girl, but what’s obvious was that the figure, dressed in white with golden linings was smiling at her. And when she noticed that big, beautiful pair of white wings… she jumped out of the bed and ran towards her nina (grandmother). Upon telling what she saw to both her nina and mother, her mother ran into the room and touched the bed where Cinderella saw the figure. It was cold and smelled of sweet scents.

She never saw the figure again.

People said that if you’ve seen an angel, your life will be blessed abundantly. I’d like to believe that. I believe that God has blessed (and is still blessing) me and my family with abundance of grace, peace, love and happiness. Tho there are times when I feel like I am the most unlucky person in the world, He will send someone or something to prove that I’m wrong.

It’s my birthday today. My family is not around to celebrate it with me like when I was a child, but I can still feel the love like the first birthday I could remember celebrating. There might not be surprises waiting at the door (like a white cedar chest maybe), but their love is ALWAYS around me, birthday or no birthday.

Happy Birthday, me! ^_______^
