Kate & Will's honeymoon plan - try consider Malaysia???

Dear Kate & Will,

According to UK telegraph , you both have decided to not to depart for your honeymoon immediately. Issit true?
Are you seriously considering to travel to Africa? Or Jordan? OMG. Common guys. Have you ever considered Malaysia? Hmm...do you actually know where Malaysia is? If you don't, you are in big trouble. U BRITISH People invaded us last time. I can't remember when (I got bad results for my history during SPM days)...but yeah, u did colonize us. So, guys, do come to Malaysia. We have no more your old British architecture leftovers. We have, in fact, modernized throughout the years. Comparable to international level. FOR EXAMPLE....

We have the skycrapers...the tall stuffs for looking.

We also have the National Parks and mountains for hiking.


The Caves for exploring.


We have the historical places for discovering.
The Culture Villages for experimenting.


The Festivals for joining.


The Beaches for tanning (Bet u English people love this!)


The Food for Tasting & Fattening (hehehe)

And lastly, the Malaysian People For Speaking & Guiding

(I mean like, u dont need GPS ok, since we can speak English.
Though broken as it is)

So yeah, to Kate & Will, do consider Malaysia. These pictures speak thousands and billions of words. And in case u need a tour guide, I'll be free to help you. But do tell me in advance, as I need to tell my boss of my long leave. hehehe.

Do cats really understand this when they read this? I wonder....


My Blog has Changed Its Colour

Notice the upliftment of my blog page?
Don't get me wrong, my favorite color is still PURPLE by the way.
ORALLOW (stands for Orange + Yellow) is not exactly my favorite color, but they sure do brighten everyone's day, RIGHT?
Just think of the SUN and how it SMILES at you.


And not to forget, my favorite flower....the DAISY. And how it smiles at you.


Therefore, some of the things in my life shall be ORALLOW-ish.
Such as ....
My new ELLE bag

 My new LAPTOP bag
(P/S: I so do not want to use the typical auditor's bag,
to avoid being a hunchback of Malaysia in the near future)

Have a WARM, SUNNY day, people!!!

Royal Weddings

Ok I'm actually writing this post because William and Kate are 1982 babies...which is exactly the same as me and hubby. Difference is that Kate (Jan 9)  is the eldest among us 4. William was born  on 21 June. My hubby is 11 days apart (2 July) from Will. And I'm obviously the youngest among all, being born in September. I love royal weddings because of the fact that they are so heavenly. And I'm totally princess-y, in my own way, and in my hubby's crib, eventhough small as it is. All princesses something in common - "white wedding dress as their first wedding dress". And the prince will always have some kind of army outwear.

SEE?


NOW...LOOK AT ME & HUBBY
I love the Kate-Will couple also for the fact that Kate's a commoner and so matured. Probably that is the reason why Will chose her? I wonder...Though she looks slightly older than Will, she's extremely gorgeous. 

Talking about weddings, I think one of the most famous royal weddings in Malaysia would be the Prince Nazrin and Tunku Zara of Perak's. AGREE?


Whatever it is, congratulations to Kate and William. Hope your marriage is lasting and blessed.

With Love,

Princess SF Johari.

P/s: One of the days when I feel so princess-y...Dreaming.......:)))

Fishy DayCare

Kids, today I want u to take care of Puss while I'm cooking lunch.
Dad is helping to take care of Pawl.
So make sure u're not up to anything fishy today.


BORING!!! Same thing on TV everyday...


Hey Jen, u wanna explore the world outside?
I'm getting kinda bored.

Puss is always sleeping anyway.
A little tour wouldn't hurt.
We'd better get back early before mom finds out.

Sneak peek: Mom's cooking.

Dad's watching TV, as usual.
Oh hey there Lil Pawl! Be quiet ok.


Ok line's clear.
Bye bye house!

First stop. Hey what's this? Siamese twins.


Hello? Hello? They are not moving and won't budge.


I guess they are stuck with each other for life. That sucks.

Hey that's Mickey!


I think he's desperate to get out, eventhough he's smiling.
Let's help him.


U push 1 side, I push the other side.
1,2,3...


I guess we're not strong enough. *panting*


Let's try rolling it then.


Wow, it's snowing.
Mickey must be having a good time.
Even we don't experience snow here in Malaysia.


We'll just leave you as you are okay Mickey, since ur snowing :)


Hi Mr Robot. I'm totally okay with u except that u don't have any emotions.


Hey that bed looks comfy. Even the bed in our house don't look that comfy. Let's try it out.


Weeeeeeeee!!!!


Hey shoes!!! BIG one.


This is what I call "A walk in my shoes"


Hey that's a big TV!


Let's change channel.


Cool. Phineas & Ferb.


Last stop: The aquarium.
Wait a minute? Where are the fishes?

Let's take a closer look.
Jen: Don't get too near, Jas.


Ah ah ahhh arrgghhhhh I'm slipping, Jen. Help me!


It's too late. Are u okay down there?


Dushhh! Oh no, he can't swim. Think, think, think...


Rescue mission in progress. Hold on...Catch this!

Wow, I can't believe I am so strong & smart.

I feel like tug-of-war and winning. Gosh, ur so heavy Jaspurr!

Jaspurr: Thanks, Jen my darling sista. U've saved my life. Mind giving me a CPR?
Jennyfur: No way. Ur breath smells like fish puke.


Hey what's the time now? It's 10 mins to lunchtime. Mom would kill us if she finds out that we're not taking care of Sweet Puss.


U'd better make yourself dry fast.


Run for your life!!!


Jennyfur, Jaspurr!!! Lunchtime!!!


Awww...my lovely and obedient kids. :)


Goes to show "There are really no fishes in the sea after all!"
Tee hee hee...:)
