BFF for Real

WOMEN AND FRIENDSHIP. I've often heard people say that friendship among women usually won't last long. It's usually fragile compared to men. Hmm what do you say? Well I think I've slowly started to agree with it. My experience has taught me that once you got married, things will never be the same as they used to be. It's either you yourself have completely changed or perhaps your girlfriends just think that you're no longer suit them... huuhu. And that is why, I do really appreciate those who still keep in touch with me up until now. They're such darlings!~

Last few weeks, I had a nice dinner with my hubby and his old time best friend (together with his friendly wife) at "Nasi Lemak Mali's Corner" located in Taman Melati, Kuala Lumpur. Their signature "Nasi Lemak" was so delicious that no wonder the place is famous and crowded! It was my first time anyway.. HAHAHHA. I was too 'busy' enjoying the meal that I even forgot to take its picture. Hence, do help yourself by asking Mr. Google for more info, ok? :p Well my hubby told me that it used to be their favorite spot during his university years. The four of us had awesome conversation and I admit that I'd envy men for their friendship sometimes because it just seems that the friendship is so real like it'll last forever! *Ssshhhh...

"Making a million friends is NOT
a miracle. The miracle is to make
a friend who will STAND BY YOU
when millions are against you..."

Anyway, life is full of mysteries. The best friends that you grew up with usually have the same gender as you and you always thought that it's going to be forever. But surprisingly in the end, you'll find your Best Friend Forever is actually the one with the opposite gender. It's your SPOUSE..! Heheh ;)

Dare to be Forever?

Assalamu'alaikum dearest. Hello March :)

FINALLY. I've missed blogging for almost 2 weeks! Well there are too many things to catch up lately plus I just knew that's going to happen when my Mr. is in Malaysia.. hehe. We have so many agendas (especially for the first few weeks) that I have to stop thinking about my blog for a while or else I'll hear him saying this: "BLOG AND I'LL BLOCK". Hence, no blogging. No blogwalking. So annoying! HUHUHU. Felt like my brain was about to explode with all the ideas and things that I would actually really want to do! Anyway, thanks a lot for visiting The Expatriate's Wife and looks like I've new friends here. AWESOME :D

Aite, just would like to share on my new stuff at the time being. It's the new iPhone5. Actually there's nothing cool about it since smartphones are common nowadays (fine, I'm the one who is a bit outdated here... hahah). Well honestly MY MR. AND I AREN'T BIG FANS OF GADGETS. That's the fact! Seriously. We'd need gadgets but fortunately we're not addicted to them. We just do not want to become their 'slaves'.. that's all. Our previous phones were just the Nokia XpressMusic, which we bought somewhere in 2008 and coincidentally not long after that smartphones were slowly becoming famous (if I'm not mistaken). So that's the reason why we didn't use smartphones earlier... heee. We've been very loyal to our XpressMusic for almost 5 years until mine started acting 'strange' recently. I guess it's about time to change for the new one.. huhu. Anyway, life must go on.....

Welcoming the new iPhone5 couple (2013 - ???)

Why we chose iPhone? There's no specific reason for that except we're quite familiar to Apple products. That's just it!! *Wink* Hmm I believe most of us used to remember lots of phone numbers during our childhood (before the cellphone era). Look what they've done...!

The Cinderella's cart

I'm actually very much in love with this Cinderella's cart (my big sis got it during her friend's wedding). It's so adorable and creative! Well when we were little, we sisters used to have lots of Walt Disney's fairy tale animated movies in our videotapes collection. Yup, there were no DVDs, etc at that time! And among my favorites is of course the glamour fairy tale princess, Cinderella. I can even remember most of the dialogues as well as the songs! *Gosh, can't believe that I'm singing them now!!! AHAHHAH*

Anyway, I've tried to search for it in YouTube and managed to find a video comprises all the best scenes and songs from the movie. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post it here. *I wonder...* However, I managed to find the movie trailer. Hope it might 'help' to reminisce the sweet memories for some of you. How I miss my childhood! BIBBIDI-BOBBIDI-BOO ;)
