Juniel

Fell in love with a Korean song the first time I heard of it on the radio the other day. The voice sounded familiar..and i checked on google. True enough, it was what I thought..CN Blue's Jung Yonghwa's voice! ;D But the other female vocal, who is she, I wonder... who's having the privilege to sing a duet with Jung Yonghwa..? 

And it came out to be from a rookie soloist named Juniel. They were singing Stupid, a song which Jung Yonghwa produced for Juniel's debut in Korea.

Listen to the song here 

Unsure of who she is, I had a search and found out that she started her career just like CN Blue. She writes her own songs and can sing really well. She performed on the street in Japan too! Listened to a few of her songs...and they do sound really nice! Good that her senior is looking out for her. ;) I'm positive she has a really bright future with her many talents!

My cousin's wedding

23/6 was my cousin's wedding and we had a big family reunion. :DDD

Almost everyone was back for the big event. I took 4 days leave, just to hang out with family and relatives. Hehehe..

We had manicure and pedicure at home on 21/6. A relaxing day, chatting while choosing the nail polish.  

Bride had French manicure. Beautiful fingers.. :D

The night before the wedding, as usual, we had a pre-celebration with friends and family. Celebrating the bride last night of singlehood. ;p 


Two roast pig were served (sorry pigs..), as well as Rojak, Chendol, Laksa and Fried Hor Fun. All freshly prepared. Not the usual buffet style, but with different stalls serving different food. 

And of course, never to forget to do "Yuuuuummmmm Siiinnnnngggg!" with each other. :D

The wedding was held at St John Anglican Church. The church was awesome. Look at the architecture! After the church reception, dinner was held at Tropicana Ballroom, Ipoh. 

Durian Musang King (in chinese - 猫山王)

I usually don't eat durians.. I don't really like the after taste and its smell. I don't fancy the texture of most durians. But today, I tried the most famous, most talked about and most expensive durian of the lot. And I love it! 

It has a nice flavour and although strong smell, I find that I don't hate it. :D Weird.. haha!

I did a search on google and found that it's sold at about RM20-35/kg. Compared to the normal durians, D24, which is selling at RM8/kg, it is extremely expensive. The price I got was from a 2011 post. I guess it is now more expensive? Demand for it is high as some said its quality is consistent. With a bright yellow flesh, small seed.. and creamy texture, it's hailed the king of durians. Compared to the durian on the right, it looks much more attractive to eat, right? The flesh is creamy but not too wet. It just melts in your mouth!

I've got my retainers!

Got my retainers on Tuesday. Thought I would get the wire type like the picture below. (got the picture from google image) It would be difficult to wear if Dr gave me this type. I used to wear this type of retainer for my previous treatment and I gave up not long after I was given the retainer. It was so difficult to talk! And quite uncomfortable. 

I'm glad I was given the slip-on retainers which is transparent and look nicer to wear. At first, I do feel uncomfortable. My tongue got scratched and was bleeding yesterday. But I feel alright today, just that my pronunciation was slightly awkward. I just need to get used to wearing it.. I need to wear these retainers for 6 months before going back for another check-up. The gaps between the last 2 big teeth which were left after the braces were taken out, need to be closed with these retainers. I can only take these retainers out for brushing teeth and eating. Need to wear this all the time.. luckily, nobody even notice that I'm wearing it until I start talking cuz i sounded funny! :p

Notice the silver box beneath the retainers? It's the case to store the retainers when I'm not using them. So..another 6 months to go? I might get even more thinner by the time I stop using these retainers. Cuz i can't even munch titbits now. Too troublesome to take out and put back all the time.

Braces off !!

(Supposed to post this last Thursday..but forgotten about it and it was left in the draft folder)

Picture: Before and After wearing braces (can't really see the difference here, but the front gap is closed, and all the teeth are pushed in.)

Finally!!!! After 1 yr and 7 mths, my braces is finally removed! Yay! Just in time for my cousin's wedding. Can take a lot of beautiful photos with a wide smile. Lol! After polishing, there are still stains of coffee! Maybe I'll consider whitening it?

Retainer will be ready in a few days. Now..let's celebrate my freedom of eating! Kekeke...
