You probably did not know this before but I was born in Malacca and I gave up my Malaysian citizenship when I was 14-year-old. I came to live with my family in Singapore when I was only a year old and every Lunar New Year without fail, we will visit some of my Malaccan relatives who still choose to reside in Malacca. The interesting bit is although Kuala Lumpur is so near to Malacca, I had only ever been there once and it was a decade ago for a night! We really did not get the opportunity to explore the city until last weekend, when Galen and I had the honor and pleasure to be the guests at Josiah and Kim's wedding.
It was a very short and brief trip so my sincere apologies for not catching up with all of my friends living in KL. We were there for 3 happy days and 2 cosy nights. The wedding was held at The Westin, KL and so we went along to book a room for our stay and my, everything was just perfect and I highly recommend The Westin, KL to you! The Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is directly opposite the hotel and is way better than VivoCity - Singapore's largest retail and lifestyle destination. It is just HUGE and I can find anything and everything there. My first meal in KL was KFC and if you don't already know, let me tell you Malaysia's KFC is the bomb and Malaysia is bagus because you can find Baskin Robbins, Nando's and Krispy Kremes! You won't be able to find any of these yummies in Singapore.
Forget the cheap flights and go for Aeroline Coach which Kim highly recommended to me. It makes a lot of good sense to choose Aeroline coach because you will be alighting at Corus Hotel and you save the money from airport to the city. It took us a 5 minutes ride from Corus Hotel to The Westin, KL. We left Singapore at 9 AM sharp and reached KL around 1.48 PM. The journey was comfortable, pleasant and very enjoyable. It is very cheap to get around KL because taxi fare starts at RM2 and that is barely S$0.83. It is common to have drivers without any meter or whatever reason, and they will quote you a price before you get into the cab. We ended up paying RM10 from Jalan Alor back to the hotel and RM10 from Pavilion to Berjaya Times Square. The driver quoted us RM5 but hey, we decided RM10 would make the driver and us happy, so there you go, 3 very happy people.
I was ecstatic when Kim told me to keep 28th June free for her and was very touched when she wanted to hand me the wedding invitation card personally in Singapore. Kim and I first got acquainted through blogging in 2004 and then we realized, we were both reading the same major in Perth and later even became neighbours at Erica Underwood House! If you don't know Kim personally, just hop over to her blog and I can assure you what you see and read will be exactly what you get in person with her. Kim is the whole package woman and ask another woman, and she will tell you how women are just scary people. Let's just say it is an arduous task to find a woman with such good looks and has an equally big heart to match up to that. She is a very creative person and you will be able to find out more when you hop over to Kim's blog. Her black and white wedding gown, banquet menu and the whole concept of the whole wedding was just so Kim Ong Ng, very creative, refreshing, personal, and all class.
Gorgeous huh? I have more pictures from the wedding to share with you. Enjoy!
With our gorgeous bride, Kim.
With my fellow roti lover, Rebecca.
With the funniest guy, Kenny.
With the founder of Advertlets, wow Josh!
And a montage of Galen and I machiam we were the newlyweds, mwahaha.
I received many compliments about my dress and the credit went to Ee-lyn of We Love Yu. If you want to customize a dress for a very special occasion, I highly recommend Yu for your very own bespoke dress fitted precisely for you and only you as promised by the label. Ee-lyn was a great pleasure to work with and the dress looked even better than I would have thought. With Yu, you know there won't be another person wearing the same dress as you. You will be your very own woman clad in utmost confidence, the finest and dress of your dreams. Thank you heaps, babe!
I was sooooo happy to catch up with my lady boys, Marcus and Jung before we left for Singapore. Jung was previously working in Singapore for the past 2.5 years and is currently enjoying a slower pace of life in KL before heading to Melbourne for work in August.
All in all, this trip was just totally awesome and out of this world! The trip would never be this much fun if not for you, Baos. Whatever I want to say, you already know and it's all between us so I'm not going to tell a fairytale here but really, you are the best and I feel like the luckiest girl in our G bear world. Thank you so much for everything and now I know, the only person to trust is You.
