The Day We Were Models…

October 21, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

20 October 2009 – The day we had our bridal photo shoot. Here are some preview of Mein’s gown. We started at 10AM and ended at 930PM. Imagine how tired we were?! Luckily lunch (chicken rice) were provided. Starving at the end of the day.

Mein waiting anxiously…

After "a little" touch up…

My beautiful bride…

Me and my currypuff hairstyle… Mein said I looked like James Bond… Hehehe…

Preparing for the outdoor shooting @ Lake Gardens…

We didn’t know that there’s this beautiful scenery in Lake Gardens…

Look! "Tu kia" (our baby) is there too for the photo session… This dress was with a can-can finishing…

Night gown…

Chinese costume… merah padam aka cili padi…?! Oops! 🙂

Mein in a beige-coloured Cheongsam… I liked this the most… Very beautiful…

Well, as for myself, I wore all my own clothes. Only used one or two of their coats. For people my size, better bring your own jacket/coat/blazer… Most of their sizes are for ~~fat~~ big guys… So loose… If you guys and gals are anxious to see the outcome, we are MORE! So, be patient…

A Rude Awakening : A Fallen Tree on the Kitchen Roof

October 19, 2009November 11, 2010 dixonthum

It was 5AM and was raining the whole night. Not heavy rain but drizzling… I heard a long screeching sound, followed by leaves scattering sound… I quickly opened the window and saw shadows of leaves waving and heard a not-so-loud thud sound. GOSH! It was the tree! We knew this tall tree would fall one day and this day came! I was so worried that it would break the roof of our kitchen. I dashed down to the kitchen and luckily it was not broken. It was dark outside. All I could see was shadows of leaves waving.

I went online to search for the contact number to DBKL for assistance. It was Sunday. There must be someone working today as this is kinda an emergency. Good enough, after a thorough search on the Net. I found the contact to DBKL 24 hrs assistance service for fallen trees (contact no. below). This number was such a relieve to my heart.

After calling them around 730AM, they sent someone to help. They reached us at around 9AM. Good enough, they cleared the mess (kind of!)… Leaving those leftovers behind my house yard. It’s ok. They advised to go the the nearest DBKL branch (which is in Kuchai Lama) to fill in a complain form to get someone to clear the leftovers. I’m fine with that. Thanks to them for helping us clearing the heavy-duty tree early in a Sunday morning.

Actually the huge tree branch fell right on my neighbour’s kitchen rooftop. Lucky enough a small tree and the telephone cables saved the rooftop from being serious damages. We are so lucky to have everyone in the house safe and sound.

A lot of sawing and pulling in action…

Visit Kinraramas on Deepavali

October 17, 2009November 11, 2010 dixonthum

Personally dropped by to Kinraramas this afternoon and snapped some photogs… of our future home… Can’t wait to move in… But, of coz, before the “moving in”, there are still a lot to think about like renovation, furniture arrangement, bla bla bla… (and the list goes on…)

Also, I noted that there is this grey colour tone painted on the building… I guess they are changing the external paint colour… Really hope that they can complete the work on time… And I love the new colour… Don’t you guys know it’s the new black now?! 🙂

The signage at the junction in Jalan Mas…

Block B is still under construction…

Wow! Our Home Progress @ Kinraramas

October 14, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

It’s been awhile I haven’t update on Kinraramas (our future home). Well, browsed the developer’s website a few weeks ago and found these pictures. It’s progressing nicely I can see! We sure are superbly excited!

Tentative completion date : End of 2009 or early 2010.

Looks good to me! 🙂

Block B is progressing smoothly…

Be prepared for our house-warming party soon…! It will definitely fill with warmth and fun~!

Raya Open House @ Ezwan’s

October 11, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

Just got back from a Hari Raya open house by Ezwan. It’s in Bukit Putera Mahkota… It’s so near to Nilai 3 that the whole journey there reminded me of my first working experience in Nilai 3 four years ago… Anyway, I would like to extend my gratitude to Ezwan and his family for welcoming us to their open house and giving us such hospitality while we were there.

What I like the most about open house is the traditional Malay food. This is even better that Ezwan’s mother cooked herself to cater every guests in the house. Lemang, ketupat, kuah kacang (my personal fav), sambal sotong, kari ayam, serunding (another of my personal fav), nasi jagung, karipap and kuih-muih… Gosh, it’s such a gastronomical experience!

Ezwan, the host hanging around with us…

Ezwan’s father did a great job to their house in giving a magical touch to its landscape and interior design… Job well done! I love this carp fish pond… There a see-through glass on the floor in the room itself!
