Marley & Me

I've watched this movie few weeks ago. Can't remember when was the last time I cried so much in a cinema. This story touched my heart and soul so deeply. It's not only about the cutey doey doo Labradoodle ekhem, Labrador Retriever... Marley.. It's about love, family, career, commitment, sacrifices etc one labours as we live.

John and Jane Grogan's live resembles many ordinary couples, struggling to secure a comfortable place in the community. The act of balancing career and family is what a couple need to learn with patience. Like Jane said, nobody prepare you for this. Yes, when the time comes, like it or not, one has to know what to do. Both John and Jane sacrificed their passion for job for their growing family. John didn't do the job he loves as money is a concern. Jane quit her job to take care of their children. How many couples can do this, I could say loudly that I CAN and I WILL. But looking at how Jane break down due to the stress she cope while taking care of her kids, I started to get worried. For her, more stress lah, with Marley the worst dog there. Sometimes I have to say, things are easier said than done. Before watching this movie, I thought I was well prepared to settle down. Now I'm in doubt, I guess I'm not prepared after all.. no.. maybe not that prepared.. a little prepared? aargh, see?

Marley is very much like my pet rabbit Piggy. They are naughty, mischievous, destructive, uncontrollable and hell on earth. Marley is the worst dog, Piggy is the worst rabbit. Marley bite off the cushion, floor, phone etc.. Piggy bite off the wires, books, boxes etc.. Piggy destroy 4 telephone lines, 1 speaker, 1 mouse, 1 keyboard, numerous books and papers, boxes etc etc... But nope, I will not abandon him, so do John. They still love Marley as he is and love him until the last breath of the naughty dog. So do I, a commitment I did just as a preparation for greater heights. If I can't take care of a pet, what bout kids?

My tears flow seeing Marley getting old.. dying... I know it's inevitable, but it just feel so so so sad to see your companion leaving. After the movie, I went home and hugged my lil Piggy. He may be just a pet, but he's a great companion. I really, really love my rabbit.

Overall this is a great great movie, a great eye opener.. love is a beautiful thing.

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
