A recap of my 2017

Happy New Year's Eve and Happy New Year! A little panic that 2018 is coming and Fei's turning 27 why does 27 sound so old???

Anyway here's what happened in my 2017~

1. I turned 25. (duh)

2. Prepared steamboat at home for CNY reunion dinner!!! (Finally after years of saying)

3. Brought mummy up to Kek Lok Si during CNY and made a wish to Kuan Yin, hoping I'll be able to find a good place to commence my pupillage.

4. Traveled out of the country with Fei twice. Not far, just Hatyai, happy nonetheless.

5. Commenced pupillage in March!

6. Down with HFMD in end-March fml.

7. Graduated with a professional qualifying cert!

8. Celebrated our 10th year together!

9. First semi-fine dining experience.

10. Meeting my favourite HK female celebrities in person.

11. Receiving luxurious lipsticks! (even though extortion might have been involved in getting 1 of it)

12. Getting Called to the Bar (achievement)

2017 has been good. I hope 2018 will be better. Not gon make any resolutions cos I never keep to it anyway lolol. I just hope I'll be able to get started with kickboxing and travel out of the country with Fei this year for a simple short trip! Fingers crossed! 🤞

Divine Calling

IT'S FINALLY YOURS TRULY'S TURN TO BE CALLED TO THE BAR TO BE ADMITTED AS AN ADVOCATE & SOLICITOR IN THE HIGH COURT OF MALAYA!

What a great way to end my 2017! :D And it's also like an advance birthday present to me! Hahaha.

Managed to squeeze myself into joining this very very last batch of pupils getting called on the very very last Friday of the year! Me iz batch 2017 yo!

Commenced chambering in March, filed papers in early December, Called to the Bar on the last Friday of December!

I thank God for a smooth chambering journey and for not facing any difficulties in filing my long call papers earlier this month and for not facing any problems on the call day. Thank you mummy for all the prayers, thank you Fei for always being there when I feel like it's not my thing, thank you Wen for always supporting me, thank you Han for always standing by my side. Hahahahaha. Thank you Sao Monkey for always getting angry on my behalf at people who are irritating. Hahahaha you know I know.

Thank you God for landing me in KESCO! So glad the other firms that I sent my resume to did not respond to me. Or if they did, they were not looking for any chambering pupils at that time. Thank you for letting me know my bosses and aunty and uncle. :)

I felt so touched listening to my own speech when I was being Called wtf. I don't know what's wrong with me. Then when my mover was nearing the end of my speech I suddenly panicked wth what if the AGC and Bar and Penang Bar's representatives don't wanna stand and say they've got no objections?!!

But they did la in the end, "Tiada bantahan, Yang Arif". HEAVED A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF IN MY HEART.

Thank you my family and girlfriends and friends for attending my Long Call even though everyone had to get up early to sit through a boring af ceremony in a stuffy court room. Hahaha.

Thank you mummy for everything that you've done for me, thank you for putting up with my tantrums everytime I come home from a bad day. Thank you bro for being my bro. :P

Thank you Big Boss and Boss for everything! For the past 9 months, for the guidance. Hope I made you proud too Boss. :D Here's to many more months :B

Thank you girlfriends for being my girlfriends, for always standing by my side. For getting me my first bouquet of flowers in my 25 years of life hahahaha. For loving me.

Thank you Ah Ma for being so kind and cute and funny. For always making Fei angry. :D

Thank you me man for everything. For just being my Fei. (P/S We're the same height *💪*)

Thank you for all the guidance Traccey! Thank you for helping me with so many things! Glad I got to know you better! :)

Thanks for coming Michelle, it's really nice of you! :D

Thank you Dato' for agreeing to be my mover even though you don't know me hahaha. Thank you Mrs Khaw for the gift & angpow! That was really unexpected haha. Thank you Aunty & Uncle for always answering my silly questions in office hahahaha. Thank you Big Boss and Boss for organising a celebratory luncheon with my family and friends for me!! Really really appreciate it.

Anyway since my last post I've filed my long call papers in KL, and also gotten my long call date!!! :D :D It's this coming Friday omg it's so surreal. :O I remember I was just starting chambering??? And now 9 months have passed? 

Thank you Buddha and Kuan Yin and all Gods for making my chambering period a smooth sailing one.

Anyway just dropping by to post 3 photos. :P Yesterday Fei picked me up after I returned home from office for our usual Friday night, but dropped by Paragon to shit first before he picked me cos I wasn't leaving office yet. -_- And when he picked me he passed me something!

I iz gots TWG macarons!!

Thank you me man for little unexpected surprises like this. :B Me man spoils me. Which is bad for me. :/ (and sometimes the market.)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! And a Happy New Year!!! :D

I'm glad that 2017 has been good to me. :)

Mission completed!

Dear blog,

IT'S DECEMBER!!! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!

And today is the last day of my 9-month pupillage!!! Earlier boss was saying year end is coming so soon and asked me what did I accomplish this year. I don't know. I told her, completing my chambering I guess. I'm really a super average person. I'm not an overachiever and I am not excited about anything? Except Christmas and CNY hahahaha.

Anyway the point of this post is photo spam updates! In other words, photolog lolol.

Ok let's see. Continuing from where I stopped.

You know about this Froghill hype that was all over everywhere earlier? Facebook, Instagram... Yah we finally paid the place a visit after the hype kinda died down lol. And the journey in there was fucking creepy ok. I was freaked out 95% of the journey. Oh and it was fucking hot. Cos no trees. But yeah it's pretty.

Oh and that's our lunch after we came down from Froghill. Then Fei decided we should go window shop at Design Village. BIG MISTAKE.

Ok la maybe not that big a mistake but still!! Sigh. But my money was well spent cos I luuuuve this pair of sandals yippie! Still haven't brought it out to wear hahahahaha. Keep for CNY la ok. Hahahaha

Nothing, just cute little stuffed plushies.

And then for mummy's birthday we brought her to the Book Sandwich Cafe. Bro's treat hohoho. Ordered the lobster sandwich for mummy of course. Hahaha.

So I bought mummy JML for her birthday right.

I RECEIVED JML TOO T_____T Fei bought me for our anni, 2 bottles somemore T_____T I think I didn't get Fei anything wth. Next year everything double ok.

THEY'RE SO PRETTY!!! And they smell so niceeeee. *hearts in eyes*

And Fei also brought me to this pretty place in Balik Pulau for dinner. But as usual we occupy most of the spaces in the photo that the background scenery couldn't fit into the photo with us... Happy 10 Fei!

Then we also decided to visit Hatyai (again) during the Merdeka super long weekend! Damn brave ok jammed like mad. But then we were there on Thursday, so we were lucky not many people were there yet. But the custom was still mad jammed and packed. But we made it!

And there was also this hard sale or something like that going on, so it was super crowded and lively at night! We chose to stay in Centara this time round, so expensive but no regrets la cos it was super convenient! It's like we went to buy 1 round, went back to hotel to drop the stuffs, then buy another round, go back again. LOL.

After that I GOT TO SEE LINDA IN PERSON OMG SHE'S SO PRETTY AND SO NICE! T_____T

By the way that was on the first day Yeema landed in Penang hahahaha and she was excited to see Linda too cos she loves her wth.

Attended my first semi-fine dining experience. Yeema brought mummy and me as guests to her Citigold dinner at Rasa Sayang. I got no nice clothes for dinners like these wtf. GELI. Anyway I liked this dessert! Didn't get to finish it cos I was slowly enjoying it but Yeema wasn't feeling well so we left sigh.

Also had watermelon cake hahaha. Celebrating Ivy's 25th!

And because Yeema is back, cousin is back and he brought his gf for Yeema to see lolol. And they booked Kebaya's dinner. Mummy was supposed to go but she fell sick cos kena Yeema's bacteria wth. So I went in mummy's place. Not bad la. But really expensive wth.

Also, I kept annoying bro to get me my 2018 birthday present for me already since I know what I want hahahahaha.

YAY!!! He super SUPER DUPER reluctantly paid for it. :D

So pretty sigh. Can't stop admiring it.

ALSO, saw Nancy Wu in person she was SO CLOSE to me but she didn't see me la cos those standing in front of me were fangirling and screaming like mad (???). I like her body shape so toned and fit. :( If only I'm as diligent...

Then it was November! I tagged along Fei to KL cos he had to attend company dinner on a Saturday hehehehehe. So nice so nice I went to window shop alone!

I LOVE my denim oversized jacket!!! It's only RM19 and it's super comfy cos it's oversized hahahaha. And it looks nice and chio hahahaha.

PAVILION MAKES ME FEEL LIKE CRYING. Tears of joy. It's so so so so merry and cheerful and happy and christmassy. T_____T Makes me feel like a kid actually hahaha.

Had the fish & fries from McDonald's!! The fish is guuuuuud. The tartar sauce.. erm. It's the usual tartar sauce from their Filet'O'Fish lol.

AND WE WENT UP TO GENTING. I was so excited for Genting. Cos GPO!! Hahahaha dunno excited for what wtf I was even so prepared to spend money. =____=

Breakfast with a view like this...

Actually no. I sat with my back facing the view. I didn't face the view. I had to hold the plate and turned around to take the photo hahahahaha. But pattern ma right.

Fei njhl. Why always so nice one your candids? Why your gf so skillful. :(

View from the cable car. We took the cable car up to the mall. Aiyo a bit scary cos it was so damn long wtf. And then it was so windy the cold wind kept blowing at me through the holes I got so paranoid. And then there was also suddenly strong wind blowing and the cable car was swaying a bit wtf omg.

LOOKIT THE VIEW

I love this shot I dunno why hahaha. Maybe because it's so so so misty and cloudy. Cotton clouds in the background!

I bought ice cream in Genting hahahahaha. I saw cheese I couldn't not try it sorry. I had to. And it didn't disappoint.

Came down and had our dinner in Chir Chir. It was fucking jammed la from Genting back to KL. I dunno what's wrong. Maybe it's how the highway is designed. Bottleneck traffic. Stuck in the jam for 40 minutes I think. Stupid.

What I spent on in GPO. For mummy! So super worth it lor? From RM439 it became RM309. And on top of that there's another additional 30%!!! So I bought this for like only RM216.30 for a full leather wallet leh. With many compartments too! Win ^^v

Fei also spent unnecessary money cos he felt like it.

He bought me YSL! I didn't cheat Fei ok I took my card out and passed it to the staff and was filling in my details to join as member (kononnya to get updates) and Fei 乘机! But thank you me man :*

Also managed to finally have a meal in Isetan hahahaha. Fei's dream came true wtf.

I had curry rice la what else. But I didn't really like the chicken balls cos they put some ingredient in there which I don't like... But the curry was not bad.

Then I succumbed cos I saw Tsujiri sigh.

RM8.90 gone even though I was really stuffed and full after the rice fml. But the ice cream's really good la. But I still don't think people should compare it to Family Mart's one cos FM's is like only RM2.90 lor? And they're about the same size ok?

Passed by Paul Louis and saw these beautiful tarts! Took a photo without pong chan lol.

AND IKEA!!!

It was so chrismassy there also I wanna cry T_____T and it's so fun window shopping there with only the 2 of us cos we get to imagine our future house wth.

Also tried FM's matcha latte. EXPENSIVE. Never again. Their only cheap items are the ice creams lol.

Can't stop admiring me YSL too. :*

Anyway. I had withdrawal syndrome after returning from the trip cos... I'm used to sticking to Fei 24/7. :( And when we're back to reality.. it's reality. Lol.

I was emo for quite a while leh hahahahaha cos of the damn withdrawal syndrome fml. But I'm fine now hohoho and today is my last day!!!

It doesn't really make any difference since I'm still working but my 9-month pupillage is over! Next year when people ask me what do I work as I can say I'm a lawyer (hopefuly) hahahahahaha. Now when people ask me what do you work as I'm like so reluctant to answer la. You people don't even know what's chambering so why would I bother answering??? Sigh.

Anyway, YAY!
