KL Marathon Run

Its been 4 days since the last time I hit the gym. Well, I purposely did that because I want to be prepared for my KL Marathon run which will be tomorrow. I've got my race pack and seems everything is fine with it. I've decided that for this time, I will run for the half category only . The distance is about 21 Km and my target finishing time is 2 Hours. I am not sure whether I can make it, but I will try. It simply means that I have to run 10km/hr consistently to achieve that target. Its kinda difficult, but it a challenge right?

I guess my girlfriend (or fiancee.. hehe) is waiting at the airport now boarding to KL. I am gonna pick her up at the LCCT  later on. Ooo gosh, I just received her sms telling me that her flight is delayed for 50 mins.... Airasia! Airasia!...... why lah u like this! Sigh, just forget abt that.

BTW, she will be running the same category with me. I dunno who gonna get to the finishing line first. I would like to assume that its me... but I cannot under estimate her capability.... she could do better than me. Who knows, my stamina deteriorate :)

Tomorrow, right after the marathon, we gonna look for our wedding ring. I don't understand actually how a guy in most of the tv or movie show can simply propose to his partner kneeling with a ring with him saying "Will you marry me?" How he knows the size?  Last time, I just said " Nnt bulan 12 kita tunang, pastu 1 taun lagi kita kawin k?" hehehe..... Nvm, every people has their own unique way of proposing bah gia....

Denying of Facts

Many times.... I were right about many things. Even so, many times I chose to ignore my own ground, in the name of optimism, even if  there is a risk to bear when things turn out to be the other way. Many things have turn out to be the opposite of my expectation, and I have to bear the consequences as well. I am the one who should be blamed, and I deserved it for whatever I have decided. I am pretty sure, the worst has yet to come.

I should stand on my own foot. I should hold to the principle that says "When there is a chance of thing going wrong, it will go wrong". It does make me look ugly and weak and stupid. Sometime I am just angry with myself for losing control of things that I thought I am very good at.

I hope I learn from this, and won't make the same mistakes again in future....

Invitation Card

When I was in KK last month, my fiancee and I visited one of the wedding shop in 1B. We want to have a look on some wedding invitation card to get some idea about designing our own. Out of many designs, we were attracted with one of the magazine-style kind of card. For us, it looks different and contemporary. So we decided to use that template and provide them with all the necessary info and material to start the designing.

One week later, they sent me their design concept. I was quite happy with it, but the more I look on it, I had a feeling that something is not right. First, they totally follow the original template, which is not suitable with the mood we are expecting to reflect from our pictures. Secondly, the choice of fonts is not contemporary :).... its kinda boring with all those flowerly thingy...not to mentioned the invitation style...ahh, they just following what they have in their catalogue.

So, I decided to make revision. I designed my own card in the excel file, and asked them to follow strictly... It took me 2 days to design it, and its definitely much better. I changed the pictures arrangement, I changed the invitation wordings and also the choice of font. After that I sent the second rev. to them to follow.

I received the second revision today. And to my disappointment, they failed to follow many important details that I asked them to follow. I start to feel uneasy. Why they take it easy? Probably they didnt meant too, but I just cannot help from thinking about how unprofessional they are in the job that the should be very well known of. I cant do anything, as I already paid my deposit.... So I make my third revision.

Hope they can make it right this time and luckily I still have plenty of time to go.

One of the many things I hate about bridal shop or wedding shop is that they are very reluctant about giving softcopy. I dont know why, probably they afraid ppl use their masterpiece and claimed it as their own... or maybe, since the existance of Facebook, they take this advantage to make more money. Even the softcopy of my invitation card is being watermark. Anyhow, I will make sure I get the high resolution complete softcopy of this later, since I am the one who design most of it. The idea is mine, they only put it on their template so they can print it out.

Hopefully they are aware of it. Its give and take policy maa.... U give me softcopy, u can take my design and use for ur business purpose... if you ever want to use it lah... kami taulah muka kami ni teda nilai nilai komersil....

Leaving to KL

We (My fiancee n I) done our pre-weds photoshoot yesterday. It took us half day to for the indoor photoshoot, which means I have to find one suitable day maybe in July or Aug to go for the second photoshoot. This time, it would be for both indoor and outdoor. It went well, we are satisfied with the way it is conducted. In fact, we had fun doing it with the friendly photographer.

The preparation and decision making time was really short for us. We only have 3 days to shortlist which bridal house we would want to go, and we only managed to visit three of them. We have to decide on the following day, and go for the photo session before my leave ends which means yesterday. With all the rush, we don't know how is it look like yet. Hopefully it turns out well lah.

Today would be my last day here. I feel sad definitely, to have to leave my loved ones back in here. I could not find any better place than Sabah, although I dont like most of the drivers here. My life would be perfect if I can find one prospectful job here and to settle down with my loved ones around. But, this seems not going to happen in near time. Anyhow, I have faith that someday, I will be back here for good :)

I am going to pack up now, leaving my comfy airconditioned room..... Even though my house is being surrounded by jungle, but everything is complete. I have everything I need :).

Food Tasting at Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu

I had done my food tasting today at Le Meridien Hotel, KK. I would say, I like the overall menu except for one vege dish which we decided to change to another menu because we felt that the taste was not that nice. All in all, we are satisfied the way it is carried out and presented.

Apart from the food tasting, our efficient and friendly wedding planner Jacqueline, went through with all the important lists and progress we are standing at the moment. She demonstrated us with her collection of theme color. Some of the color combination are really interesting. We get a clear idea of how the hall is going to be decorated, the arrangment of tables, stage, LCD etc.

I asked her opinion about how CONTEMPORARY Theme is all about. In her quick response, she said it has not been done before and explained the decoration right away. I was kind of like the idea though, because it is more simple, more flexibility and versatility. So, I asked her to prepare the deco according to the contemporary concept.

I think we have done most of the difficult things for our wedding preparation. We have done with the documentation as well as the pre-nuptial interview conducted by the Priest who will be presiding the wedding ceremony. We have done with the invitation card, hotel arrangement and 50% of the photoshoot. Hopefully I am right about this. If I am right, I can avoid all the hassles which caused chaos to many ppl.
