Kaf turns 21

A homely celebration for my dear brother turning to be a BIG man. Along with families and friends.

Kaf (!?!) . A name that I so reluctant to call, and now is officially 21. Dad, mum & I has been really planning for this big day of him a month a head. He's been always a very jolly go lucky brother of mine. A very pleasant boy with his calm and chill character. So why not just have his fav Flip Flops in his party where everyone dresses as carefree as him, and have his fav. BBQ to serve.

The whole theme ideas just come together really well. And since he have this Party Lover a.k.a Planner sister, I gonna make this day a Blast and Memorable one for him. It took me a week to get ready on my props.

I actually did a numerical photo montage on the wall with all his 21 years pictures forming the number 21. It caught him a surprise to see his photos on the window glass and special moments has always been a part of him learning along the years. So that's really a good idea to actually surprise him and the guest too.

Flag lines is always my fav. decorations. Easy to make, and easy to fill up the party environment. It creates a really warm and welcome impression to the guest. So normally in my party, flag lines are always in diff colors following the theme of the party :)

There's also garlands and candles to fill up the waikiki atmosphere :)

I ordered my cakes from Just Baked where I'm so happy that Jane manage to put up a really nice, lovely looking cupcakes with flip flops theme for Kaf. Do check out on the facebook at :http://www.facebook.com/pages/JustBaked/158310887550424 & also another cake where my dad specially order for him, Kaf's fav steaded cheese cake where i decorated with M&M. It's so colourful with the M&M vibrant chocolate.

More Party Sharing coming out... Enjoy!!

The unreasonable disaster..

11.03.2011 . 8.9/9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan at around 2:46pm

Friday afternoon, I thought of asking my brother to check on the flight tickets to Tokyo since we've plan earlier to go for a backpack there ended up him telling me tht Japan strike with a really bad tsunami which is 10 meter tall. Seriously, all i seriously think about is just maybe earthquake?!? But when browsing through my FB with all the release Youtube post, like darn.. Tsunami really hit the Japan and it's quick a alarming one! Knowing that thousand and more body was found, 500 got missing.. and houses got swollen by this enormous waves, that's really an unpredictable disaster.

Hearing the news and watching the whole incidents on CNN, it brings flash back on some movie scene that the world is in trouble. How this big waves can just strike anytime, anywhere and impacted the whole village, city or even a country and the land could b badly demolish or it could disappeared.

I really couldn't believe how strong and powerful current can be. My dad told me that even how many thousands years a mountain range exist, it still can't compare to the strong powerful current that the water can turns to..

I'm truly blessed that I alive in peace. How fortunate tht i'm still breathing will all my loves one around. All my prayers to my fellow friends @ Japan, Stay Strong and We'll go through this moment together as one. It's not how fortunate we are in Malaysia but really how we channel our energy and love to the unfortunate one.

The unreasonable prediction on 2012, it's always been the hot topic now! esp after all the disaster that happening around. I can't deny that I'm calm with what's happening around, I'm actually kinda freakout! But really, come and think about it, i don't even actually know that whether tomorrow exist or not. So why r we waiting for 2012, Dec 20,14 or what so ever dates! What I always believe is that there's always a bond that we human being have with Earth. Just stay calm, stay presence and using the our inner strength to whole the world together again. That's the fundamental of our spirit and bonding that we have with our planet!

From now onwards, I'm going to live passionately, and be connected with my surroundings and live healthily. It's really pleasure that i m given to live in a country that free from most of the disaster. Live it for the victim, live it for myself. Things can change when there's 1 person that willing to do it..

My prayers to all the victim in Japan ...

Welcome 2011

It's already the 6th day of the year and time flies just in a snap and here I am @ 26.

I've been really neglecting my blog for a very long time and I guess i'm half back blogging since now i'm back to my normal free routine.

Seriously been really busy for the pass 4 months with all my year end printing projects and now it's I just by pass the season of that n' have more time for my own, doing things that i like and getting ready to set up my Cafe in September. Come and really think about it, Beii & I have only 8 months to make our dreams to reality. So ya, back blogging, brain storming, creative mine, creative pulse are all back to work! My passion brain needs to function again and i actually can't wait to put every thoughts and dreams that i always have and built it up to a reality.

No more bad year because all the bad stuff have just by passed me! It's been a not so easy year for me losing my 2 grandparents and hanging on and bare it through with my family is a process of growth. Not much from fruits got harvest but I learn alot in the journey of 2010. [Hang On & Stay Strong]

One of the biggest thing is I am glad that I finally feel the sense of belonging with my family business. Feeling that I am slowly becoming the captain of the year and really earn things by my self in fully taking part of things in my life! Well... I finally can say that I now have a business on my own :)

So 2010 is not that bad afterall..

So now.. time to open up my arms wide and welcome 2011!!!

Have a great one peeps and ya... trust me, i actually haven't start writing my yearly goal list yet! Gonna really sit down in my room tonight and plan out the year flow by myself! xP

PAM Award Night ( or an award for aunty Pam?!?)

25.09.2010- This is a night where our family gather as one to celebrates Uncle Lok's PAM (Pertubuhan Architect Malaysia) Award where he took away 2 awards the Winner and also Honorary Mention for Best Single Residential.

Uncle Lok has always been our role model and an inspiration of our family.. with his talents on creativity on architecture, he design houses that bring us back of memories on our own roots. I feel homely everytime i visited and looking at the residential that he design. Just like my house... He always design the best house that speaks about us... it's just supernatural.

Thanks for having us to be part of the event that night Uncle Lok & Aunt Pam. U both just an awesome couple! I'm so proud to have u as an uncle that i look up for and be like u one day :)

Grandpa was there with us too... He's looking so good with his tie and suit. I have not seen him wearing formal for a very long time, with his grey suit and a very matching grey tie. I can't stop taking my eyes away from him.

He's so happy and overwhelming that night. I'm sure he's really very proud of his son. He took his digital camera with him that night... Can't stop snapping photos of everyone.. esp with his candid shots skill where we're not allowed to look at him when he's shooting us. He's the kind of demanding photographer.

So this is the photo of him goin around the table taking photos of everyone with Jun Nen's SLR camera. Not bad right my grandpa.. He can handle a SLR (Unlike me :P)

We do have great fun that night with all the family members around... and of course not to forget the lovely sitting tags that prepare by Aunt Pam with Kaf & Elmo names on it! ROFL!

Congratulations to uncle Lok once again...

Grandpa is back home safely...

I'm gland that grandpa is home @ Uncle Lok's place!! *Phew* after 3 days where i have totally no idea where he went.. but ya, that's my grandpa!! It's not like his very first time of giving us with all this surprises but this is the very first time he actually didn't call back to let us know where he was... It really kept us worried about him.. Wonder where this 86 years old - old man of ours has been.

But ya, good to have grandpa back home again..

It's time to really give my grandpa some attention since he's getting older day by day. I'm sure there's alot that he's worried about where there's some worries that we can't really be in his shoes when u reach a certain age that nearly to 90s. No matter what, we will all go through this depression stage of his hands in hands together as a family.

Fai and I were so happy that he finally pick up his call yesterday night where we try calling him like 3 times. Fai (My bro) really knows my grandpa well... "Jie, we gonna be patient and call a few more times since u know how good can our grandpa hearing is right?" then patiently we dialed 3 times and he pick up!! He's like telling us not to worry... "Gong Gong is fine, I'm so glad that u all care about me.... I just went off for a holidays... Don't cry, Gong Gong will come to stay at ur place soon!!" He's so cute... I can't even think of crying when the moment he picks up the phone!! I'm more like YES YES YES!!! FINALLY!! and in the other hand, he's like don't cry, don't cry!! lolz (Somehow i feel that my dramaness is mostly from my grandpa instead of grandma!... Now i know..) But ya, it's really a sense of relief!!

After a while, he calls me back like 10 minutes later. This time it was a miss press... He sounds like he's in the cab and he's talking to the cab driver.. He's telling him about his family. How proud he is with his children and how lucky he was... From the minute i heard him saying it, it does touches my heart how my grandpa talking about us even when we're not with him. We are always in his heart no matter where he is. Sometimes we do neglected him when we're busy with our own lives but yet he's still there for us even we're in our ups and downs.

A month ago, he's asking me how Joey and I doin? I'm like we're no longer together. He look at me and just ask why... and he pad me on my head and give me a smile.

He's a man with less words but ya, he's care is just limitlessness..

It's all well, it's all good now... I'm going to see him this weekend!! Just gonna let him know that he's as important as anything in my life. I never know what role that my grandpa plays in my life until this incidents happen.

I always inlove with the month of September because it's the month of CELEBRATIONS...

That's the way how a September should start with... and it's been always begin with my Auntie Janet's birthday [01.09.XXXX]...

It's always been really sensative with age ever since u reach 50... or even 30 for some people!! I always don't get it, what's the big deal with the age thing. U should be proud with how old u are instead of lie and being shy about it... but now ya... when i reach my 25, i felt it already... Damn.. just like how Woei Tyng & I start telling each other about the Anti Aging Cream that we should start Applying... It's like my Mid 30 crisis is about to start...

But ya... whatever, i gonna be on that dot somedays... so just gonna enjoy my 25 years old of mine!

So to have my aunt to forget about how old she was, Beii and I decided to bring her to WonderMilk. Aunt Janet always love places like this and one fun thing about us, she always want us to bring her to someplace that's not really about the food but the environment where the few women can sit down and have chit chat session together...

Wondermilk is just a perfect place for her since me n' Beii still don't think that there's place that's more cuter than WonderMilk! (but ya... It's time for a new place...)

So here I am wishing Auntie Janet with good health and good wealth!!

................................................................

And the next we have is my beloved Elmo looking Cousin's Birthday...

The night is belong to urs although we have a cuter one with us that night but u still my coolest and most emo bro of mine.

We had a lovely Family Dinner @ Rakuzen, Subang Jaya. A very nice dinner indeed because we have the whole room ourselves and lil Jasper can cry as loud as he can since the room is ours... But ya, no celebration is better to celebrate with the family.

Happy Sweet 17 my Man :)

................................................................

So here we are, the 8th of September....

A day that the smurfies family will always celebrates with laughter because it's our baby smurf's birthday...

We are both alike but we're not alike. Same personality but also different personality... Looking at her is just looking myself in the mirror... but also not really sometimes... but something that have us bond because we both are september babies!! Don't u agree now that year ends baby tempt to be the happening one... lolz!!!

But i always love to organizing birthday for Ms Wong because she's one of the one that got me hands on on all my personal events. Every event planner have their very first event that have them hook in to event and 3 years ago, Woei Tyng's birthday is one of the event that got me fall in love Birthday!!

Thanks for always be a very special one to me... U r like my angel that held me no matter where I am, that's y to me, u always deserve the best of everything! We're more records to create together so make sure we stay fit and spirit free so we can climbs more mountains together...
