Absence

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" is the one and only phrase that darling love to tell me whenever we didn't meet for a day or two. Our usual practice would be meeting each other every day since Day 1. Exception would be those days where he go overseas/outstations/burning midnight oil. But he will still replace something for me to hug or cling on :D

I am basically very attached to him which sometimes I felt that I robbed a lot of his alone time, rest time and even buddy's time. Though I feel bad and heartache whenever I see him snooze off almost everywhere he could possibly find but I just can't find myself not seeing him each day. I admit that I am very much spoiled by him in many ways. Most of the time, I will get what I requests. He has been very patience with me and been trying his very best to fulfill all my weirdest demands. Spoiled brat in other term.

Darling, I'm not writing this down to boost of how good you are to all who come across this blog post but I'm writing it as my own self reminder so that I won't give myself reason to forget/deny what you have done for me and how much you love me. I know I can easily get clouded by negative thoughts whenever I'm down or quarrel with you. Or maybe one day, I might even totally forget about you. I don't know what the future holds for both of us. Surely I would pray earnestly and hope that we will have long life on earth together and will forever be each others' buddy, best friends and life time partner by His grace and blessings.

Rie is looking forward to spend her lifetime with you. 43 more days to go. Ganbate. Last but not least, I love you, William.

Love,
Rie

The day I say "I DO"

Let's keep it short and simple. If you think you need more mini minor details, come and ask me personally :)

As per our normal date nights, we will block our schedule to go for a simple activities together. Couple time :D

He arrived with his Kuma-kuma and I allowed him in. He dressed up pretty well that night. I hid because I felt like I overly dressed. Hehe... Drive out and just stuff our stomachs with good food. The atmosphere around us was very noisy. A company is having their annual dinner there but we enjoyed our steak, seafood and fries despite the cheering and noise from the people around us. Talking about the restaurant, I think I lost my Pandora bracelet there :( The bracelet that my darling won for me at The Curve. Pretty sad when I'm reminded how clumsy I am to loose it...

After the dinner, he drove back to my house, we relaxed and talked at the living hall.
Half way talking, he starts to execute his proposal plan...

Wi : Cherie, there's a wedding invitation for u.
Me : Izzit? Who's wedding?
Wi : U guess :)
Me : (Started giving names of unmarried couples in the church)
(Wi - Shook his head)
Wi : All wrong. Here, check out for yourself.
After checking it out
(Me - Stare at him with a unbelief look; Wi - Still kneeling in proposing position while holding a red box with a blue ring inside.)
Blah blah blah for quite some time and finally a YES from me.
(Reliefwi put the blue ring on his bride-to-be, then shared a tight hug. Tears of joy for me :P)


How do I get my shining ring? Secret until you ask. What else did he do? It is a secret too.... Hahaha....

Yes peeps, I'm engaged with William Mok :) Wedding bells ringing soon. Wait for more updates from Facebook, Twitter, Email, Chatz or here.

Bride to be,
Rie

My Love

Time flies.... My big day is coming soon yet I'm still procrastinating to finished up the post entitled The day I say "I DO".

Sneakpeak of our looks during the pre-wedding shoots

Let's just have a little flashbacks before I continue with my love story post...

Never in my thoughts/imaginations that I'm going to date William Mok. For me, he used to be a guy which I definitely will try not to dealt with. I don't seems to be able to get along well with him. Mainly because of our opposite personalities.

This is how I personally think about William. I can describe him in short as 3S (Smart, Serious and Stubborn). He is smart, he speaks proper English and have a really good memory bank. I used to addressed him as a walking phone book. He can easily remember anyone's mobile phone number, car plate number and etc. Salute him for that. William and I never have much common topics to talk about. His stuff is too alien and far too intelligent for me; mine is a little shallow and less interesting for him. He love to complicates things and I love to simplify almost everything.

Next, when it comes to playing, please don't ever expect William to be gentle on GIRLS. He will NEVER :P Talk about gender equality? Apply it or you don't mention at all. There's no grey area when you're dealing with him. I used to have some nails mark on my hand resulted of fighting with William in the car while Hai Yen is driving. Fighting, late night arguments/debating and months of cold wars are common between us. Be well prepared if anyone tries to debate/argue with him. He has his very solid and logic reason in almost everything he does/say. Not a cincai person for that matter.

Stubborn little chap I would say. Once made up his mind, no one could ever change it. I hate it so much yet I survived being his friend. Need help? Ask from William, if he is willing, he will even go extra miles for you. He keeps his promises and  he is a trustworthy and faithful friend. Not to forget, William love God :) There's many more good stuff in him but I'm not going to list down one by one.

Dearest William, you're truly one of the hardest person I dealt with thus far and you're now soon to be the one I will see every morning beside me on the same bed for the rest of our life together. Our God is truly full of wonders. He works great miracles out of the impossible. Knowing you and now going to pledge our life as ONE  is one of the choices in life that I never/haven't regret making from Day 1 itself. You allow me to be who I am in front of you. I'm glad and thankful that you accept this mischievous, gullible, cheerful, naughty and stubborn little me. Thank you for the love we shared, good and bad times we had, trust, security, tears shed and prayers. I'm looking forward to the days ahead of us. I have faith that we will make a good and happy family together with God's helps. 2 Corinthians 12:9 - But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

"It's not your perfectness that i fell in love with, it was your flaws that brought me in."

I love you, William Mok.

With Love,
Rie

11.11.11

If I'm still in primary and secondary school, I think I might missed out a 1 or 2 "1"s when I'm jotting down the date on every exercise book page.

Today(11th November 2011) is a very significant day for many people around the globe. There's more than 1000 couples in Malaysia are getting their paper signed today. I can't imagine the pool of pretty brides in white + nervous grooms + family members + friends who are crowding around the hall/room to witness the once in a lifetime ceremony for those couples. Some are taking today as a day to ask for forgiveness, propose to their gf, party and many more.

As for William and I, we're going to indulge ourselves with good food and good music serve with some good catching up moments. Not sure where to go yet but hopefully the food and music won't spoil our night.

It's time to doll up a bit and get into my new dress. Wondering whether I can still fit into it or not >.< It's been awhile I didn't doll-up... Hahaha... Usually dressing up and doll-up is a norm to most girls but I'm the other way round.

Actually, I'm counting down to Christmas Day. As usual, every year I'm looking forward to Christmas season where I can bring out all my "friends" from the roof and place them around my beautiful and bright Christmas tree. Preparing gifts, shopping spree, going around taking pictures, hearing Christmas carols and many more but not the wrapping prezzies part. Can I ONLY in charge of unwrapping the gifts this year??

After Christmas, New Year then My 25th Birthday then CNY then Valentine and the list goes on and on. I'm also looking forward to CNY also. Marked another memorable event too.

I'm really blessed and highly favoured by My Big Daddy From Heaven. Thank you Father. Thank you for the gift of life every single morning. Lord, You're my personal Lord&Savior, my everlasting Father, my friend and I want to learn to declare that every single morning. I Love U, Lord

Falling sick

Look at the title, you already know my condition. Oh dear... why is my stamina so low nowadays? Fall sick so frequently. Sien sien sien. My mouth now swollen. I'm having 3 big ugly ulcer inside my mouth. Besides can't talk properly, I have no appetite and keep craving for sleep although I slept from 9.30pm yesterday till this morning 7am. Plus plus, my face is full of breakouts. I feel so ugly and don't know where to hide my face dy >.< Pimple pimple, please go away from my face and body please.. I want to take nice pictures in coming Bali trip.

In the meantime, everyone sounds like leaving soon and my worries in life kinda add on. I wonder what will be there for me in the next few months. The only one thing I can do now is pray and learn to depend on Him even more. Is it really time for independent? Take up challenges? Oh Father, I don't have confident for all these. Teach me Oh Lord. Guide me please...

Aquarius Woman

If you are in love with a woman in this zodiac be prepared to be very happy or be very sorry. She is a very busy person with her own matters similar to a guy in this zodiac. She is able to live by herself without any guy in her life, a very strong person indeed.

Not because she does not have a dream guy, but if she can not find such person, so what. Because she thinks she could do anything that a man can do. She is a leader, a real confident type. She likes to do things by herself, such as serving herself, opening the door herself. Because she thinks waiting for a helping hand is a waste of time, and she is not patient enough to wait around for that. If she starts to ask you out, do not think she starts to flirt with you, but because she thinks it is a waste of time to wait for you to be the one who asked.

She likes a COOL guy who sometime act like he is ignoring her, so he has a chance to show him his own confident. She likes to guess her man's reaction, but at the same time she likes to has many men wanting her. She is a daring type who could just do thing differently from other people in her same society. She dare to fight for what she thinks belonged to her.

Even she acts confident she mostly feels lonely and alone. If she breaks up with someone, she won't show any emotion even deep down inside pain and agony. Not for long she will come back to be the cheery and merry person again, because she looks at the world positively and has "Faith" in the word "Love".

She has more men friends than women friends, so do not be a jealous type if you date her. She could be slightly jealous, but she hates jealous guy. She loves "Freedom" so before and after marriage, her freedom has to be the same. She likes you to trust her, even if she does not trust you anyhow.

She likes to be the one who is "Right", so if you argue with her, let her win if it is not a big deal for you in that subject. She is a straight-forward type, so if she does not love you anymore, she will just tell you straight to your face. Her love and relationship are always real, so if she say "It's over" be prepare to leave, she is not testing you.

She is not a vulnerable type, so do not have to worry about her, she will survive by herself. If she is with you when you get sick, she will certainly take care and look after you, even look after you mean "small loan". Do not have secret with her, she hates it and really can piss her badly. When she is sad , be understanding. When she is happy, be happy with her, she likes that.

You will not get bore with this type of girl. Someone who is close to her will know that deep down beneath that confident and cold hearted person, she is just as fragile as any woman. She is a fun and talkative person and she likes to tease you. Do not let she talk alone, if you do she will leave.

She has many types of jobs because she believes what a man can do, I can do. If you want her to work for you, forget it. When she is in love, she will just leave her job in the day time
just to come to see you, but not for long she will go back to work seriously again. Prepare to live and love with a "Working Woman" then you will be OK.

If she mad, find a shelter for the "Hurricane" is here! Her bad temper will last very shortly though. She is not a revenge type and will not think of "pay Back" time. Most people might think of her as "One of a guy", but in fact she is a 100% woman. She is easily hurt, so be nice with her. If she really loves you, then you are lucky because she is an honest, truthful and will never bored you. Understand that sometimes she will be over confident and sometimes like to have power or act bossy.

Life after college

Dear all,

Wondering what is this bubbly yet lively Cherie has been up to? Well life is surely exciting at this point where I finally step into another phase of life. Yes, it's the working phase of human life. After few months loitering and relaxing under the most comforting yet stress less shade of FAMA, I'm finally working as a web programmer.

Previously, during the non student non working season, I experienced a lot of stuff that I could never imagine myself having it or doing it. I'm blessed with 2 different trips to foreign country. Let's start with last December, where I travel to Singapore for a short Christmas trip. This is my 2^nd trip to Singapore but my 1^st trip travel outside Malaysia without my family. Given the chance to drive down to Singapore and drive around this beautiful city is really a good experience for me. Singapore is one of the country that I always wanted to celebrate my Christmas at. The light decoration, the shopping sales, the Christmas music, Christmas decoration and so on.. Wow anything that I want for my Christmas season is there except for the snow.
This trip I didn't get to visit Sentosa Island but I have some warm welcome from my friends in the Night Safari. Besides riding on the cho-cho train for some friend's background introduction, I get to walk in the dark safari with Christine and Daniel. With one brochure in hand, we walk every path and visited every single spesies that cho-cho train didn't cover. The house of zebras and giraffes is one of the most hidden path in the safari. Most animal are wide awake and I seriously can sense that I'm being watched by them like a food to them instead of they displaying themselves for me to view. Sweaty, sticky and smelly is the end result of journeying the whole night safari. I seriously don't mind going for the second time, good exercise and one step closer to nature.

Next day, Science Center exploration. I don't really enjoy the display and the exhibits in this science center. Maybe because I started to get bored of going science center where most of the stuff is the same. More like a refresh memory of what I know and learned about science and that's it. But I quite like the snow city. I get to enter Snow City in Singapore. Yeap yeap, surrounded with fake snow and ice in a small hall yet as cold as in the real ones. Temperature is almost below 0 celcius. Never had this feelings before but too cold to survive for long. I wonder how do people survive during winter? Even Australia pre autumn temperature I can't really stand and maybe with proper attire.

Shopping in Singapore is fun if you earn there and shop there. Not to say their clothing are cheap but at least the quality and their sales not fake. Malaysia sales is raise up the price and sales for you which sounds like a normal discount. Food there is totally hopeless. Can't survive with the crappy food there.

My friend once asked me whether will I choose to work in Singapore? After experiencing life in Singapore for this short holiday season, I choose to keep an open mind on this topic. There's for sure pros and cons in everything and it is the same apply to Singapore. Lifestyle there is stylish, classy yet a little bit of stress as everyone is trying so hard to climb the cooperate ladder. Economic there is consider better as compare to Malaysia but if I were to work there, I will have a lot of extra spending like rental, food and all where this cost is all covered back in Malaysia.

To be continue...

Recently

I have 47 days more to go before 16th September. But Cherie being Cherie, I am still enjoying my life as an individual and a college student not knowing the trouble I will get if I can't finish my FYP. Honestly, I have yet to meet up with my new supervisor. I have yet to draw my design on a proper piece of paper. Yet to install my software and more to go. Besides that, this semester subject is not cover as yet. I really dun feel like a final year student as the schedule is too relax until I kind of slacking. August is here in another few hours and I am aiming to finish it before 1st of September. Can I fulfill my target? Day dreaming and boiling drama every single hours is totally not going to help me much.

Recently, I am so addictive to Burning Flame 3. Every midnight without fail i will stay up to download the latest and watch immediately. Well, day and night waiting patiently for the episode to show. I can watch a single episode twice!! I am sincerely agree that courting season is the sweetest moment in a relationship. As for every girl dream is that they get to dance with their partner on their wedding day. But this generation, it is quite hard to fulfill as the partner is either swaying away with their computer stuff, treating it as a very girlish thing or even making the girl feels like they are dancing with a stick!

By the way, been a long time i never cry so many time for a movie. PS: I Love You is the latest show which makes me cry 4 times. It is so sad and touching. You all should watch it. It is really very sweet of him to do such thing to the wife. But I do pray that dun la do it when u going to end ur life. Do it every single moment. It helps. Ok la. Maybe for me it do really touch me. For you all ar.. erm, watch and comment here la.

P.S.: My both hammies is truly adorable at this point. Both of them gain so much weight especially Fur Ball which is very nice to squeeze and Cotton with the soft smooth body. One more month I think I am going to make them woo hoo and try again for my 'cotton bud'.
Bye for now. Going to watch Burning Flame episode 19 now. Tata

New Excitement

Clock is ticking and seconds goes by quickly without me realize but I am still waiting patiently for my new partners in crime. I might be too ambitious to think of new idea and activities to do with them. But on the other hand, by the time I have them, I might be busy with my college life as dead end is coming one by one. I still dun have the tension and stress yet as I am still having my own sweet time watching tv, hopping around online shopping blogs and psp-ing.

I used to like programming a lot and dun mind sitting in front hours and hours just to debug it. I won't realise that I am burning mid night oil for it. But this time is the other way round. This time programming need me to think of logic and maths together. I can understand the code once other people wrote it out. But asking me to write it from the start? I am sorry I can't help it.

Final year project progress so far is 0%. I am lacking away since the submission of PSF. 39days to midpoint... hehehe... Must go Mobil or Petronas down my garden to pump in some petrol dy. Else cannot finish the journey within the time frame.

Anyway, I am still pondering and wanted to reverse back the mistakes I made. Considering to change path again. But there is definitely a very different life altogether. A lot of things I had missed out!! I am still thinking should I continue on to misses that phase for another reason or just sail with it till the end. It stuck in my mind every now and then.

XOXO, Cherie

Final Year Project

Whoever who mention FYP, I will think of nightmare as I am already having slight fever about it. Well I successfully vomit out a so called brilliant idea. I also successfully list down the function and narrow down my scope. But this is only the first step to further nightmare. My title for fyp is Interactive and Innovative Learning Tool for Kids... Sound really fun, kiddy and easy. But don't U remember your basic ABC... How many alphabet are there? Summore need to find different idea to portrait different alphabet. I can't be using the same exercise for the whole 26 alphabet. Imagine having the same activities over and over again for so many time... Hell lot of work to do. Not only create system, but need to do questionaires, interview, secondary research and all related work all by YOURSELF.

Not only fyp I need to do.. Concurrently, I need to go lecture and tutorial, in course assignment, test and also exam. See the schedule also scare dy. I really need to pray hard for wisdom and patience to handle this year. I wish that 24 hours a day can be multiply by at least twice this year... hahaha... crazy dy me... Please pray for me. Thanks in advance.

So here is my task this semester:
1. FYP (Primary research, secondary research, schedule, planning and etc, etc, etc) - Pass up on 11th May 2009
2. Ubi com individual research paper - 20th March 2009
3. Ubi com group assignment
4. Haskell assignment - week of 4th May 2009
5. Project Management Group assignment
6. Everyday class except Tuesday but once in awhile need to meet supervisor.

I wonder do APIIT know how tough is it for a student to study final year with 70% included as grade plus with stupid FYP project which require high tech thing and idea plus a really superb fast dead line with their stupid scheduler who does not know how to arrange schedule and limited resources. But I really Thank God for a good and supportive supervisor which give me strong idea and advise. I really hope that she will guide me until the end of the fyp day.

Programming

Back to the past for a little while. Have you ever being punish to write the same whole paragraph for many times? Well I did it before myself. My hand was so painful but need to write 50 times. My mistake was entering a chinese school. That is the reason why i choose english school after kindergarten. I personally hate writing. Moreover I am force to use my right hand when i am originally a left-hand person. Energy wise is obviously less than what my left hand have plus seeing a rotan beside me lagilah worst.. Hehe... Nightmare tho..

How good if i learn programming earlier? I can save a lot of energy and time.. haha.. don't get what i mean? Click on the picture and you will know. (P.S: For those who is not programming literate, I'm sorry if you din get the joke)
Short and sweet post. Bye diary
