National Day #malaysiabaru

Obviously it would be difficult for us to go all the way to Putrajaya for the national day parade(sources suggested we should reach before 7AM to avoid massive traffic!) so I made us another plan—which is to dress up for photos at Dataran Merdeka instead. KL has always been a favourite for street photography. And boy I can't believe how much it has changed, I used to be around here so often. It's so tourist-friendly(even for the locals) now with road signs everywhere that it's possible to explore KL city just by walking. We took advantage of the LRT right beside our condo and traveled to Masjid Jamek where our short KL street tour began.

峇里島真的是個充滿驚喜的地方。這一次朋友安排住在CANGGU區。雖然比上次的NONA'S BALI來得方便,可是住宿和設備都比上次的VILLA遜色很多。(突然好懷念當時候自家廚師住的炒麵和煎蛋,園丁在大家喝茶時段剪草澆花,打掃的則忙著打掃房間⋯⋯ 我就整個少奶奶邊喝茶邊監督地舒服臉 😂 哇那畫面~)

這一次帶了兩部相機和一顆鏡頭,最後還是敗給貪方便的心態和不想(寶寶的)背包那麼重而放棄了比較重的PEN-F和鏡頭,只帶了COMPACT型的MJU-II,沒想到漏光程度這麼的放肆!😏 這也是我第一次用FUJICOLOR C200,個人是覺得這底片色調太適合拍SUMMER HOLIDAY了!

I spent one productive month in my hometown after election day(hooray to the new Malaysia!). It always started with lunch outside and come home trying to make baby have her naps. At least I've got lots of helping hands(thanks mum, sis and in-laws!) with the baby while I can do things such as meeting with friends over a cuppa or simply just enjoy my shower.

This day last year, we set our feet in the land of Kimchi, with a heavy heart following the passing of Joe's beloved grandma, just few days before the trip. Well, it sure felt surreal, as I never thought I would visit Korea so soon and it was never in my list. It's very important to do your own research beforehand because everywhere in Korea is accessible via public transport at your convenience. All you need is to know where do you really want to visit or give it a go; otherwise it's very, very straight-forward, you can easily google the directions.

I must admit when I first look at the subway map, I got really frustrated and stressed out. Firstly, I was never into Korea. I have zero idea about Korean artists other than Song Joong Ki & the Running Man crews. I'm also not a fan of K-beauty products so Korea is really something new and strange to me.
Changing time!

Raising kid indicates new challenges everyday, there's always something new and different. But what a privilege it is to watch your own child grow each day. There are days I feel extremely terrible when baby is being extra cranky but deep down inside, I'm enjoying every single moment. Truth be told, in the near future I probably won't remember the bad days or how the day felt so long when Joe is taking forever to come home from work. I also won't remember how many inches she grow or how much weight she gained each day.. I will only remember how she responded with a big smile the each time I make funny faces and how she melts me in every little thing she does whilst amazed by my ability to make such cute baby, I'm sure it crossed every mother's mind right?

Look at her! She's definitely growing up to be a daddy's girl.

Alyssa is 3 months old as of today, it also marks the 3rd month of me being a SAHM! It all seems to have happened so quickly and I still can't get used to having someone to call "my daughter". I can't wait for her to grow up and have more interactions with us; at the same time I wish the time could stop so she will always stay little in my arms.
