Finally!

After what seems to be a zillion years, I am back….on my blog, that is.

You must excuse me, I had an incredibly CRAZY year end. We had so many products to mail and so little people, everyone was just helping each other out. I had like a 12 working hour for a couple of days, on off. I was so pooped when I got home, I only had time to check my Facebook (<- this is pretty crucial, really, it is!) and had a dog to entertain.

If you noticed, my dog’s blog isn’t updated too, after only a couple of entries.

Oh well.

I had to work during my off days too, so that pretty much sucked.

Anyhow, I am back with SO many things to get ready for. If you haven’t heard, I am already legally married. As of January 18th, 2010. A few of you emailed/messaged to say, “Why you never invite me?!!!”, well, it’s just the ROM ceremony peeps. It’s not even the wedding yet! My Save the Date will come soon, be patient.

I am off to see the priest for my Pre-Nuptial interview (yikes!) and will be heading off to SFX to book to church. Then I have the marriage preparation course to attend for about 6 weeks.

I can’t seem to decide on the colour theme. We had chose Lavender and Maroon but I just saw raspberry and teal and they look good too!!

The house is almost done. They should finish by end of this week. The colours we chose are pretty amazing, if I must say so myself. Haha. I have photos in my Flickr site, so you can take a peek at the upgrades. Hopefully, we’ll get to move in by March!

I know I promised to show pictures from Emily and Eugene’s wedding. I’ll post that up…erm….soon!

Till then, be safe.

Wow, it’s been awfully long since this was updated.

I have a life now, that includes a furball.

One poo-all-over-the-place-disrupts-my-gossip-girl-time furball. But cute and worth it nonetheless!

And I am finally watching Gossip Girl. Very extremely ketinggalan zaman. Very!

That wedding photos will come up soon, I promise!

I am never a fan of Manchester United. I may have to rethink that now that Michael Owen is in the team. Lols.

YC and I went to watch the game sometime back. Lucky for us, we got the tickets early and managed to book ourselves two training passes to see them train. Imagine these footballers, making money by getting people to see them train!

We brought the trusty D70s and our sigma 70-200mm in hopes of getting a good shot of Giggs, Rooney and maybe a glimpse of Michael Owen. Unfortunately, we placed too much hopes in the 70-200mm, thinking it was a blardy 600mm. But the pictures didn’t turn out too bad.

Many turned up for the training session and all this while, I thought there were only like 100 people or so. I thought we were like the lucky few to watch them train. I even got YC to bring a marker pen, just in case! But in the end, he forgotten to bring it anyway and was pretty bumped throughout the ride! Oh well, no loss!

The ONLY close up we managed to get. That’s Ben Foster. Actually, we were seating pretty far off so this is not too bad.

I got annoyed at one part when this boy next to me started playing with the chairs. He started banging them and the father was SO oblivious to it. With every bang, the chair vibrated. I told the father to ask his son to stop it because it is “annoying”. I don’t know if he understood me but the boy stopped after that! hehe.

Here are the guys warming up in the picture above. Can you see Rooney?

They were doing their final run around the field, applauding to those who came.

The one hour training felt like 15 minutes. It was over so fast. At one point, during the training, I shouted, “MICHAEL OWEN”. YC gave me a look of embarrassment. On the night of the game, I WASN’T the only one that shouted his name!

It’s funny though, because before it started, no matter who came into the field, even if it was the water boy, as long as they are wearing the Manchester United jersey, everyone cheered! The atmosphere was pretty amazing.

And here they are cooling down. You see that water boy on the right? I bet if he walked into the field before any of the players, he will also be cheered!

Even though I am not a fan, I must say, I truly enjoyed myself. I envied the photojournalist down on the field. What a cool job!

Before I end, here is a peek of a wedding that I had the pleasure of taking.

All this, in the next post! Toodles!

Many of us are still in shock of the passing of Gary Leon Robert.

The story is a little conspicous. However, I am not there so I wouldn’t know the real story.

http://justiceforgaryrobert.webs.com/

Here is a true account of what happened from his friends, witnesses and family. If you happened to have information on what happened, do contact them. I am sure they would want to know what happened from when he walked away from the medic tent to when he was found in the tunnel/basement.

I am certainly feeling very bleah this week.

It is certainly not a good week for anyone I know from Techflow either.

RIP friend. You will always be remembered by everyone you know and love.

YC and I have training passes to catch Man U.

A poor shot from my mobile. I can’t even see Rooney and he is easy to spot!

The 70-200mm has got some pretty neat shots though, but it still looks small. Someone please give me media pass?

Oh lookie, more pictures!

Actually just one, but who’s counting?

This picture is snagged from ryanseacrest.com.

Clockwise from top: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter.

Opens March 5, 2010. Such a long way more to go.

Side Note: Watching the Devil’s training session today and tomorrow, seeing them trash Malaysia!

I am running the 11KM category for the Adidas King of the Road at Shah Alam.

_{*I’ll let the moment pass where everyone gasp*}

Yes, marathon. Wait, 11km does not even qualify as marathon.

It’s a run. 11km wei. I’ll be happy I make it past 3km.

I’ve bought the clothes, now to train. Hmm….Can I still run the 11km if I don’t practise at all? I am a bit lazy. Heh.

Oh well, guess I have to train lah then. Oh, I am such a lazy bum!!

I’ll leave you with this picture of Johnny Depp in the upcoming movie, Alice in Wonderland by none other than, who else, Tim Burton.

picture from comingsoon.net

It’s the dark version, can you tell?

Came home sick to find the door to the bedroom locked!

*CRIES*

Lucky we have a guest room aka computer room so I am still able to work from home. Yes, you read that right. I am home sick but still working. Fuh, I am dedicated, yo!

Took two days off so we can have a nice LONG weekend. We have the 4th of July weekend off (Friday before and Monday after – yes, BE JEALOUS!!!). Going to watch transformers tonight (Finally!).

We went to see the house on Saturday. Oh boy, all these feng shui talk…I really don’t understand.

YC and I kinda have an idea on what we would like to do with the house – interior wise. Since we’d prefer a professional to give us tips and ideas and basically to make our home feel like one, we are looking into the possibly talking to her. Their designs are lovely and seriously, we can’t wait!!

Maybe, a dog after we settle in. See first lah.

I miss Max!

How can you NOT miss him?

I took another shot at taking futsal photos. I don’t know why I used the 70-200 when I have a perfectly good prime lens to use! Thanks YC!

The photos turned out better than the last batch but I wish the D70s continuous shooting mode is faster. I couldn’t capture some of the actions!

Check out Haffiz doing the dive!

Tim’s got a pretty cool groove!

Lutfi and the usual stunt!

Check out Azim! Looks at that expression!!

Here’s Mike!

And master of the futsal field, Aliff.

I had a fun time! The company, awesome! Thank goodness I didn’t get hit while shooting!
