As usual, every year around this time of the year, there will be a bridal fair. The previous 2 bridal fairs were held at Crowne Square, Pending. This year, they switched to Old Court House. The setting is odd. It’s not a very good location at least for me. It’s not easy to find parking. Today 3pm was the opening ceremony but I didn’t stay for it. They talked too much for the speech. Boring~~ Raining summore so left after simply took some photos.
There you go…. Our very own Sarawak Bridal Fair. It’s from 23rd-25th March, 10am-10pm.

My point of views. Like it or not? That’s your problem.
BTS 2007
BTS(Building Trade Show) is here, 22nd March-25the March, 5th Floor, Permata Carpark. Thought of going there for a visit to cover the event but who knows the environment was so unwelcoming.
See the photo, you will know what I mean. The 2 security guards sitting there and on the right(not in the photo) is the registration counter. There’s a sign put up asking visitor to register for lucky draw before going in. I don’t think it’s that simple. So unwelcoming! Why must register for lucky draw? Not everyone wants to participate in it. Why force people to register, not everyone wants to give you their details! What is there so important in there that everyone must give their details before entering? What do you have in there? People want to rob you off your building materials? Or to avoid petty crimes like pick pockets?
I know BTS always have lucky draw for visitors and all these while it’s optional. I took part in it everytime and never win anything. Now it’s compulsary for those that go in. Summore placing 2 security guards there is making the atmosphere so tense! Not only that, the registration counter felt too formal. It’s deterring people from going in for a visit. We were so turn off by it and left without going in.
Go With The Flow
Actually I had composed this post for a long time but didn’t publish it and had also kept changing the content on and off, so this is not the original content. Finally I decided to post it. Let’s see you understand or got so confuse after reading it? This is the typical A,B,C,D,E… story that you usually see in magazines/newspapers column. I’m not going to respond to any comments that you post as I have no idea what to respond to you too.
Here you go… Fiction or non-fiction, go figure it out yourself.
A lost B in a tragedy. Then C happened to have feelings towards A and helped A went tru’ the lost. Then A made a stupid statement to C one day and this had made C put on so much hope on A. A was lonely and sad, C was like a wall for A to lean on.
A came to senses after going tru’ some counseling from D. A realised that there is no way A can accept C. C is only a replacement of B. A told C about it and C was devastated but still hoping. A and C have different mindsets, different expectations, different believes in life. A doesn’t feel a sense of security at all but fears and restlessness when thinking of accepting C. Not that C abuses A, it’s just that C is not what A wants. C is just a best friend to A and there is nothing more than that. All that started was because of unstable emotions.
Eventually when A regains the strength, D introduced E to A. It was just meant to get to know new friends(E is the brother of D and D is the sister of B[go figure!]). Who knows… Special feelings built within E and was interested to take it up to another stage with A. A wanted to but A wasn’t very sure as A is still having problems with C. A told E about it and E accepted the fact that A is trying to settle the problem and both agreed that let things goes with the flow.
Dragged and dragged and finally A couldn’t let it flows, there is no way to let things go as the flow. A and C must face the music eventually. It’s easy when there are no knots in between but there are tonnes of them in between that make them so hard to unknot. A is worry that things might turn ugly and there might not have any turning back, everything might crumble into pieces, there are so many knots at stack. A is confused and frustrated on what to do. A doesn’t want to loss and hurt C because C is someone A appreciates as a friend that can be trusted and a friend that helps A a lot. It’s not an easy decision. Summore A must not let E waited for too long. At the end A might lose the love of E and the friendship of C.
Till now… A is still in dilemma.
“Goes with the flow”, we tend to like to use this phrase on just about anything. I started to disagree with it when I think it from another perspective. You must not go with the flow! Opportunity comes and you just have to grab it. There is no way to go with the flow, you must jump out of the flow whenever you can, else you’ll be meeting with dead end. You will loss everything at the end. It’s the same as when you fell into a river with strong current. You should try to get out of there else you’ll be dragged even further and ended up at the end of the river where you are going to go down with the waterfall and die. So when there’s chance to get out of the river, you must get out a.s.a.p. There might not be any chance anymore.
Goes with the flow is not always good. Think twice before you decided to go with the flow.
*SHRUG* How on earth that suddenly I’m becoming so philosophical?
Valentine’s Day 2007
Here’s our stall at Waterfront opposite of Hilton. The cosplayers helped to sell the roses and the plushies. Business wasn’t good. Too many people selling and the flowers were all in bad shape π because we got the wrong flowers. Most of the bouquets dried up due to the wrong type of flowers used. They were so fresh and pretty on the 13th.
Other stalls at Waterfront.
Left: Another stall at Waterfront bus stop.
Right: Our cosplayers at Padungan. Tried to sell all the roses. They only managed to sell two there.
Then later at night after they went home, we reduced the price to RM5 and most of our buyers were our own friends(-.-“). Then we tried to cleared it by giving it out free when people buy a soft toy but no one bought any soft toys. 2 stalks left and one was sold at RM3/stalk. The last stalk wasn’t sold. 9 stalks were damaged π because of the stupid small purple flowers that were wrapped together with the roses. They sucked up all the water of the roses. We suffered a loss lucky not much and good thing we didn’t take too many flowers.
I noticed that this year, not many people want to buy flowers as gift. They prefer things that are more practical. Me too. I’m happy if you give me flower but I’m happier if you give me CASH π or give me something practical. Do you know that the flowers cost a bomb and using that money, you can do better things with it? Too commercialised. I don’t care a damn about Valentine’s Day, there is no need to do all these things. You’ll get stuck in jam, eat overpriced dinners, buy overpriced gifts etc. Don’t see any point for it. Just stay at home and enjoy each other company is better. As long that you have the heart, any day can be Valentine’s Day.
Kenny Sia spotted with his girlfriend, Samantha. π Such a big bouquet she got. So sweet~~
Tick Tock Tick Tock…
Happy Valentine’s Day to those love birds out there! Lengthy post ahead.
I’m curios… Really curious… So many friends got hitched, some expecting, some already have children, some got engaged, some in steady relationship… Me? I’m already 25 this year and I’m not belong to any of those mentioned! I sounded so desperate. I’m feeling the pressure now… -_-” biological clock is ticking too…*smack head*
I’m curious. Do you ever make a “plan” to yourself? The “plan” or fantasy to be exact. Things like when you want to get married? When do you want to have children? Career aside as I’m talking about relationship stuff now. *BLEK* Mind to share yours with me? I don’t want any advices, thank you. I just want to know about you. I’m sure almost everyone has/had this fantasy before or even now. Com’on, admit it!
It’s not fair that you share yours with me if I don’t share mine with you. This is my first time exposing one of my very personal stuff to you in this blog. No one knows about it before except me and Kev(my late-bf, if you still don’t know. I don’t want to talk about how he left, if you would like to know, you will have to go tru’ my previous archive, to make your life easy, it’s in 2005). DUH~ Already said that it’s personal stuff, how can I expect people to share it with me summore openly like this. Stupid… Stupid… I still hope that some will share coz some people do not see it as personal π
Ever since I’m in my teens, I had already drew up a “plan” on my relationship future. I want to get married when I’m 25, have children when I’m 27 and close my factory at the age of 33. Hahaha… So that’s my fantasy. I’ve been sticking to it until now but π I’m 25 this year and I’m still not in a relationship!! I’m supposed to get married this year!! OH NO… My time is up!(-_-“)
I told Kev this when he proposed to me not long after we start. We were net friend for almost a year before I agree to accept him. He asked me this at the beginning of our relationship. I told him that it’s still too early. So he asked me when do I want to get married as he’s ready anytime. So happy till can float you know? We even talked about our future such as how to raise our children, how many children we want to have, where are we living, our expectations to each other, so on and so forth. All these in the beginning of the relationship, fast huh? This is because we wanted to make sure that we didn’t waste too much time on each other if it happened that we had different expectations. In a long distant relationship, there isn’t much time to waste. Every chance that we had for each other was fully utilised to the max. Back then, I was only 22. He’s my first and serious boyfriend. I had never had any before. I’m such a good girl. Hahaha… The timing was perfect! Since we’re having long distant relationahip, dating for 3 years should be quite normal. All left now are just memories.
Now the questions:
When do you think is the best time to get married? What are the factors? Follow your guts and instincts? Or you have certain goal set such as financial stability before settling down? Goes with the flow? etc.
For me, financial security/stability is very important to me besides love. There is a phase where you are looking for love, love is all you want, you don’t care about other stuff but love, love is everything to you. After this phase is over, you are starting to look for some sort of security/stability, it can be financial, emotional, spiritual or physical. Love is important too but you will be seeking for something else besides love. I’m in the later phase now. In fact I’m in the later phase since a long long time ago.
Don’t start lecturing me! I know what you are going to say. It’s been going on and on and on like a broken record. I know that money is not everything but it’s something. Something that you can’t live without in this world. Everything is about money nowadays. I’m sure you know that women and children are not cheap, they cost you a lot of money.
One thing for sure is that no matter how rich you are, if we don’t have any chemistry between us, I’m not going to accept you. I’m not blind by money. I still let my heart do the talking. Only that the chance of having me considering you will be higher if you have more money. *EVIL GRIN* Usually I’ll be up front about this matter to anyone that express interest in me. If you can take it, you are in; if you can’t, I will advise you to find someone else.
This explains very well why I’m still single after he left. Actually my main problem is not this. There’s another problem that I’m having which I will not reveal it here. Only some people know about it. I’m not making it public. You will know when it’s solved.
I’m getting married this year? In my dream! Time is running out… Pressure is getting more and more intense… Seeing everyone taking their life to the next phase but I’m still here at the same spot.
Now… Let’s go back to the main questions in case you got lost after reading such long stuff from me:
– Do you have a future “plan” or fantasy like I mentioned just now?
– When do you think is the best time to get married? What are the factors? Follow your guts and instincts? Or you have certain goal set such as financial stability before settling down? Goes with the flow? etc.
Again, I don’t want to hear your lectures. I don’t want your advice. I only want you to share with me the two questions above.
