Come as you are. As i want you to be.
this is 2013 in retrospect. Awesome stuff happens in 2013 without me realising it.
I don’t really keep track of everything i’ve done in 2013 but these are the things that stood out to me.
The Card Maison made it’s first debut at the Wedding Expo in 2013.
It was an awesome experience. Tired but very rewarding.
a bag crush.
her name is Cassandre.
I am so in love with her. Maybe because of the quilts. Or partly cos she reminds me of a vintage Chanel Chevron Flap Bag.
at least that’s what he’s doing. Honestly, 1st half of the proposal was a little bit too cheesy for me lah.
But that’s just me. Others might find it cute but it was a little cringe-worthy.
But the last half made me cry cos whatever he said, it was obviously straight from his heart. so raw, so emotional.
ah….. such a nice feeling to be in love!
Last week we went to Turi beach, batam and had a splendid time!
Firstly, cos it’s on weekdays. So there’s literally no crowd.
By that, i mean really no crowd. we were the only ones in the ferry! Feeling-feeling ferry sendiri!
Granted we took the Ferry from Tanah Merah because we are heading towards Nongsa instead of Batam Centre.
I Like Tanah merah because there’s not much crowd, save for those going to Bintan. Other than that, Immigration situ goyang kaki.
It was a smooth 35min ride. We managed to catch a wink and woke up to another island. Awesome.
Nongsa Immigration pun senyap, unlike the hustle bustle at Batam Centre.
We got picked up by the Shuttle Bus to Turi Beach, which is just a 10mins bus ride away.
Turi Beach resort is really secluded. From the guesthouse to the lobby, there is no way you can walk, especially at night!
but i love the peace & serenity it came with and to be honest, it felt exactly like that time we went to Beyond Resort at Krabi.
Check-in was swift. We managed to get a room upon early check-in cos there’s errr not much guests? LOL
No free wifi so we took a Daily WIFI package at S$20. Not worth it honestly cos we were not in the room most of the time.
kita yang merancang, Tuhan yang menentukannya.
So drama.
all hopes of any travel escapades this year hancur musnah dan ranap because the husband has recently tendered his resignation and that would mean starting with a new organisation will require him to go through the 3 months probation again, hence no annual leaves.
so, no anniversary trips this year. i think. (i’m still hoping we can squeeze in a short trip somewhere though, cos our anniversary falls on Hari Raya Haji but that also mean he would have to take leave on Monday and i’m not sure if he can do that. le sigh.)
but, if he can’t take leave and we can’t go on trips, i will figure some other memorable stuff we can do. fret not.
on another note, luckily i remembered buying a groupon deal sometime back for Turi Beach Resort at Batam.
It was expiring this month end lah so we managed to scheduled in a trip this thursday since the husband’s last day is this wednesday. a short 2D1N but enough to rejuvenate us to prepare for the tiring weekends ahead.
Cos this Saturday is Metallica!!!!!! \m/
this sunday, we are raya-ing with his colleagues and then next weekend is Azmi & Nori Hort Park Wedding.
Back to the Anniversary trip. If he really wont be able to take the monday off, then a super short weekend getaway would be okay. BIntan or KL pun boleh lah. as long as we get out of the country, laze around in hotel rooms and eat good food, i tak cerewet.
Why am i fretting over something happening in October when it’s not even September, i have no idea.
As for now, i’ll just enjoy our Batam trip aje lah and cross fingers Turi Beach willlook at least half as nice as the picture above.
