[Thoughts] Is it worth it?

So I've been blog hopping recently and found some interesting wedding sites.
I think I might have wedding information overload.

Then it struck me.

Is it really worth it?

Is it really worth spending $xxxx.xx amount of dollars for a wedding?
Is it really worth for people to take leave, fly for hours just to witness two people celebrate their love for each other in front of God?
Is it really?

After much thought and deliberation to myself, I concluded
YES IT IS.

1. This celebration is for US.
2. The sacrifices and presence of our friends and relatives is very much appreciated.
3. All the suppliers we chose will definitely make a difference to the celebration.
4. Our family might get chaotic before, during and after the wedding, but it's all going to be worth it.
5. A wedding is not a wedding without who you want to be there to celebrate with you.
6. When you want something, you should not short-change yourself.
7. If you want it, go and get it.
8. Always remember,You deserve it! The last thing you want to remember after your wedding is the thought that "I wish I did this, I wish I had that, I wish we got them, I wish....."

So, with this in mind I am at ease.

Hunny and I have picked who we want to be at the wedding.
We have agreed on every supplier.
There might have been some debates, but we booked who we thought was right for us. Accepting that some might be lucrative in their rates but geez, their output is something you will remember forever.

So why wouldn't you want a remembrance of forever documented about your wedding?

[Travel] Singapore!

Date of Travel: September Anniversary and October Birthday 2009 =)
Weather: Awesome... :)

Singapore

What to expect:
1. Clean surroundings.
2. Easy to understand Public Transport.
3. Cheap but tasty local food.
4. No tissues/serviettes served in any food court /restaurant. Don’t forget to bring your own!
5. If locals can’t speak English properly, they won’t try to understand you to you no matter how you explain or how you use your hands. Always be prepared and know the vicinity by getting maps and reading signs.
Major Suggestions for the best experience in Singapore:
6. Take the glass cable car to Sentosa
7. Airport shuttle to your hotel $9SGD per person. Cheaper than taking a cab!
8. The $3SGD noodle beside Value Hotel Thompson is the best for value for money!
9. Don’t be scared when they talk to you in Singaporean thinking you’re a local. Just smile and quietly walk away. Haha!
10. It does get very humid at times; bring summer clothes, sunscreen, shades and a camera!

One of my cars.. :) hehehehe

[Travel] Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia

Date of Travel: May 22 2009
Weather: Hot and Humid!

Here's the link for the Rates! :)
Sunway Lagoon: Tips and Things to Remember
1. Find out how far it is from your hotel, especially if Sunway is a place you’d really like to visit during your stay in Malaysia. Make sure you have transportation booked for drop off and pick up; you don’t want to get duped by expensive/unmetered taxis around the area.
2. If you are only there for a day trip, don’t bring bulky items or if you have to bring bags, deposit them in lockers located near the pools. You can even have your locker for an hour; the only catch is it will automatically open after an hour! Isn’t that a scary thought if you’re having so much fun and forgot the time?!
3. Located around the area are long water rides that have hidden surprises and in all of them you’ll definitely get wet! It not like those rides that splash water only on your legs, these rides will surely drench you and your clothes!
4. When riding the flying fox, bulky bags are not allowed as you end up in the lower end of the pool. Shoes are not allowed as well. If you didn’t leave your things in the locker earlier, it is unfortunate that one of you will have to miss out in riding. You also have to be prepared for the hike to the top of the tower! Be safe, listen to the trainer facilitators, slide and enjoy the ride!
5. Bring sunscreen, the UV gets extreme at times in Malaysia; enjoy the water, the pools do look refreshing!
6. It’s better if you arrive early in the morning so you don’t have to queue for a long time with the flying fox, Grand Canyon, buffalo water slide, etc.
7. There are shower areas that are set up like a carwash; you walk in and water will just burst out of the Aztec designed walls. Our friends didn’t know it was automatic and when they posed for a photo; they got soaked with the sudden burst of water! (Haha!)
8. I do recommend you try out the ATV ride! It’s always been popular; get in early so you don’t have to queue long. We did wait around half an hour for our turn even if we were there early. The actual ATV ride was around 10mins because when we were there, half of the ATV Park was getting renovated. (Bummer!)
9. There are food stalls around the whole lagoon so you’re sure you won’t get hungry! If any case that you don’t like to eat at the Lagoon, the Sunway Pyramid is right beside it. One of the biggest mall’s I’ve ever been to.
10. Last but not the least, walk, run and jump across the longest suspended bridge!! Don’t forget to look down! 

[Travel] Genting Highlands - Temple Hopping

Date of Travel: May 21 2009
Weather: Humid, Cloudy

Genting is 45mins drive from KL City; it took us longer to get there from the airport because the airport was 45mins away from the City!
It was a good trip to KL. Every day was cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon then sometimes raining at night.

This trip was memorable since we had our best mates Sheena and Gabe with Sheena's sisters Sharmaine and Sheryl with us. Good people, good vibes, memorable trip!

Can't wait to plan that next trip! :)

Genting Highlands was the only place in KL where there's a Theme park, Casinos, Temples and three hotels all in one location. It can be described as an isolated city on top of a mountain.

Maybe the next time we visit, we can spend some money at the casino!

[Travel] Sky Venture, Genting Malaysia

Date of Travel: May 21 2009
Weather: Rainy!

Red one, Black two, Blue three, yellow four, pink five!!

After the brief training from one of the instructors for this sky diving adventure, everyone agreed that it was time to "Bring it on!"

Click me!

It had been raining that day and they've stopped accepting guests to try out the sky venture, luckily our friends were patiently waiting when they decided it was ok to use the "tube" again! Heaps of guests were angry with the employees giving them reasons like "We only went to Genting to try this out and you won't accept anymore?!?!"
All they could say was, they didn't know the weather would turn out the way it did and so it wasn't their fault plus they didn't get any payment anyway.

The experience was exhilarating! We were laughing our heads off while watching each other fall, bump into walls and wipe the spit off our faces!! Too bad we couldn't take photos while we had our turn, BUT good thing there was video!

Here's our sky diving gear that smelled like somebody else's sweat!


Everyone should try it!!!

Red one!

Black two!

Blue Three!

Yellow Four!

Pink Five!








Finally our flight certificates!
