Malacca Trip Part 2

Stephanie @ Thursday, 05:14 pm

Feeling: Slightly Tired
Weather: Cool
Listening To: Michael Buble- L O V E

I won’t be going anywhere for the New Year’s celebration or countdown this year (As usual, I don’t every year anyway XD), since traffic is going to be unbelievably heavy and everywhere will be jam-packed with people @_@ Just not really worth getting worked up over people banging into you or trodding on your feet, etc. At least, that’s my opinion >_> Celebrating with other people can be fun, but sometimes depending on the situation it’s just not for me :P I’d rather stay home and have a quiet countdown snuggling Louis this year ♥

So… what are you thankful for this year?

For me, the most major thing I am thankful for is having met Louis, and having him in my life as well as being in his life. Yes, ever since we got together, life has not been easy for the both of us- him with his business, studies and work (And his parents moving to Sarawak for work), and me with my family and studies, etc. But the both of us have chosen to ride this out together, so that we may be stronger and able to go through the worst of the worst together :3 And I’m glad that I have made this decision. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world ♥

I’m also thankful for the people I’ve met the entire year, and for those whom I’ve got to known better (You all should know who you are :P), even if we’re not too close in the end, or even if we have gotten closer. I’ve learnt to love people as they are, flaws and all, and not hate instead, because hating someone is a terrible burden.

So all in all, it has been a wonderful year despite all the setbacks and obstacles that may have appeared. Goodbye 2009, hello 2010 :3 Happy New Year, everyone! ♥

And as for resolutions… what resolutions o_O

This post is continued from here :3 Dear dear and my trip to Malacca.

Malacca Trip Part 1

Stephanie @ Wednesday, 08:07 pm

Feeling: Relaxed
Weather: Cool
Listening To: Fall Out Boy- I Don’t Care

Dear dear Louis and I went for our first holiday together to Malacca on Sunday, 27th December 2009 to Tuesday, 29th December 2009 :3 It was an awesome trip, despite some minor glitches here and there, but after all it is our first holiday together, so I guess we’re still learning :P

All of the photos (And a few more) are on an album on my Facebook account, but I’ve decided to make a post here for the sake of posterity too anyway :D Plus, there’ll be more verbosity here compared to my Facebook album >_>

The photo above is pretty much a memento of our trip- a printed out photo of dear dear and me holding an albino python at the square in front of the Christ Church Malacca, the clock tower and Stadthuys and ticket stubs from our visits to the Malacca Zoo, the museum complex around Stadthuys, the Tortura 2 exhibition in a museum near A’ Famosa Fort (Exhibition of medieval torture methods and implements!) and the Malacca River Cruise :3

I’m going to be writing the travelogues for days 1 and 2 in this post, and day 3 in the next post XD

The bedrooms in my house (Mum‘s, mine and little brother‘s) are getting repainted within these few days, mine being the last to be repainted… meaning I will be celebrating New Year’s with my room being painted D: I shall take this opportunity to rearrange the clutter in my room, I guess :P

Ah December…

Stephanie @ Wednesday, 01:44 am

Feeling: Calm-ish
Weather: Cool
Listening To: Rooster- Drag The Sunrise Down

I’ll be a very busy person during these final weeks of December. Let’s see my itinerary thus far:

Monday, 21st December 2009: University‘s Department of Psychology annual prom.
- Prom was quite a blast. The performances were awesome! I’m glad I attended, and with Louis by my side too. We didn’t attend for the company (As usual, clique-y), but for the performances, and I’m glad I did. I never knew my lecturers could be so awesome! XD Ms. Winnee wore a long dress and high heels, Dr. Goh and Dr. Albert rocked out (Along with other staff and tutors) and I generally enjoyed the night’s entertainment :D No photos though, because I didn’t bring my camera along (Too lazy to carry so much stuff) >_>

+ Tuesday, 22nd December 2009: Dinner at aunt’s, for the Winter Solstice/Tang Yuen festival thing.
- Dinner was yummy, so was the tang yuen :P Other than that, nothing much to mention XD

+ 23rd December 2009, Wednesday- Early Christmas dinner with Louis‘s brother Kevin and his girlfriend Catherine.
- Dinner was at Betty’s, and it was good and surprisingly cheap! The meatballs, meatloaf and the pork chop was awesome. Would definitely head there again for dinner one day :D

+ 24th December 2009, Thursday to 25th December 2009, Friday- At Banting ♥
- Bak kut teh for lunch and movies (At home) at night :D Such relaxation. Also went to AEON Bukit Tinggi for some window shopping mostly, but more importantly, it’s spending time with Louis that matters most :3 Attended midnight mass at church on Christmas Eve, my first.

+ 27th December 2009, Sunday to 29th December 2009, Tuesday- Trip to Malacca with Louis dear dear! ♥
- Malacca with dear dear is just awesome. More on this later :3

In December, we reminiscence, review and reflect on what has happened and we look forward to a whole new year ahead.

For me, this year has been very rewarding overall, despite some turbulence here and there. Ah well, difficulties are but stepping stones to character, no? ;) Generally I’ve learnt a lot of new things and met a lot of new people, all of which I am grateful for. But most of all, I met Louis. Without him, it would have been harder for me to deal with the obstacles I have faced, and he has really changed my life and made an impact on it.

I love you so much dear dear ♥ Thank you for everything.

Now that everything is over- especially assignments for Louis and the final exams for me, we can finally take a breather. Thank goodness for that, really, as I think the both of us really needed all the stress and insanity to stop @_@

Finals Finally Finalised

Stephanie @ Tuesday, 05:45 pm

Feeling: Tired, Sleepy
Weather: Cool
Listening To: Fall Out Boy- Alpha Dog

As per topic :P Just sat for the last paper earlier… and I’ll be free until 11th January 2010! Then the new semester begins.

This semester, although it has been relatively laid-back in terms of only having classes two days a week, and not much assignments, has actually been rather taxing in terms of studying and revising. Never have I studied so hard for the final exams (Hence the lack of posts)! D:

Pray that I at least pass my papers ;_;

Although I am semi-quite confident I can at least pass… but still.

Since I am relatively free now, I am able to help Louis with the final leg of his assignments :D I just wish I could do more for him to let him be less stressed about it :\

Looking forward to spending and actually celebrating Christmas (My first actually!) and going on a holiday trip with the one I love- my dear dear Louis :3 We both really need this break to de-stress and all, and most importantly, to spend time together! ♥

We plan to either go to a few places for the holidays, but we’ll do it slowly, since we’ll have plenty of time together. For this trip, since it’s the year-end and all, we might be heading down to Malacca… so yeah. Feeling so excited~

Now I shall go rest or something to relieve myself of the trauma of the final exams @_@
