1. An impromptu road trip to Kuching
We went to Kuching by 6 hours bus on last week, from Wednesday night to Friday night. Not to have fun but to settle some tiny step of the marriage registration. We didn’t get the document that we needed though. We ended up having an unexpected city tour to kill our time and came across an interesting insurance billboard with tagline “I got mine here“.

The only thing that I like from Kuching is The Spring – the hottest mall in the city and probably the only mall in this state (read: Sarawak) which has the basic brands from KL in which Sibu (where my home is now) doesn’t have. You know: Padini concept store with Vincci blablabla, Body Glove, MPH bookstore, Manhattan Fish Market and all.

2. 50% settling down
We had our church wedding done last month, so we are married according to our religion and in God’s eyes. We had done the Chinese ceremony and held the wedding banquet, so we are married according to Chinese tradition and people’s eyes. We had a place that we can call as our home, we had purchased new working table and chairs, and we also had bought a new LCD and laptop for me. We are all ready to start our own family and own business.

But, we haven’t go through ROM (Registration Of Marriage), so we are not legally married according to law and in government’s eyes – let alone rushing in making a baby. The stress is worse than thinking about LDR. The good news is, we are walking on the right path and although it takes longer time, we are sure that we can get the certificate in time.

3. Three keyboards in a month time
We bought the first keyboard at PC Fair for RM25 only per set (keyboard and mouse) right after we bought the laptop and LCD. We used it for a week or so only and both set of keyboards went KABOOM as in the keyboard kept on disconnected – how to work like this? We assumed that the batch was faulty one hence they sold it at such a low price.

It has getting on my boy’s nerve since he had loads of work to settle that day, hence he threw it on the floor. Rest assure, he isn’t the type of man who will hit his loved one. I am safe for sure, but not with the computer stuffs.

Then we bought second keyboard at Delta Mall at RM25 each. On the second day, mine went crazy. The shift button didn’t want to work! KNS! I have to copy paste the symbol (@?” etc) from the internet cause I couldn’t type one. We purchased the third keyboard last night at Sanyan and requested the seller to try it. It works fine for now.

4. My first Tang Yuen festival with my new family
There was no colorful tang-yuen (made from glutinous rice flour) in soup but one color tang-yuen with peanuts, somewhat like mochi. Here also has tradition of having family dinner with loads of foods.

5. Two new ‘family member’ in the house
His sister brought home 2 new puppies, Lucky the male and Mimi the female. That means now there is 8 dogs and 3 puppies. Whew.. I have no idea how I (who don’t like cats, dogs, and whatever pets) can live in this home. But amazingly I can adapt with them. Mum, no worry, I don’t get so close with these dogs.

The 2 new puppies and Happy who has slowly recovered from the hot-water-incident.
