I’ve Officially Dropped the “O”

Hello, my new name is Kim Ng a.k.a. Mrs Josiah Ng.

Busy bee. No wedding planner, one man show, and final event coordination by my bestie, Amber. *prays hard* Everyone’s supportive - my immediate family, in-laws and close friends who offered help.  The best part is, having a husband that can double up as my Maid of Honour helping me zip up my dress and remove my hairpins. Lolz.

Will share more soon, I promise! Stay tuned…

I’m waiting for myjojo to come back to the hotel so we can go for our “first nice date as husband and wife”. No choice but to abandon our close friends and relatives just for tonight for some alone time for the both of us. Hehe.  

XOXO

Blog hiatus. Preparing for wedding; detoxing, rejuvenating, relaxing. No bad vibes. All is clean, pure, beautiful and happy.

Add me @kimongsk on Twitter. Why kimongsk? “SK” letters are my last two initials that stands for “Suan Kim”. My name has two Kims, don’t ask me why, ask my lovely grandmother. Say it with me. KIM ONGSK with the “K” pronounced like opening a can of Coca-Cola with the “psssttttt”!

Have something happy to share with me? Eg. Struck lottery, just got a new niece, bought a pet, etc.? Share it with me on my comment box. Anything at all.

Love loads,
Kim Ong

Aloe Vera & Bubbles

Posted by Kim Ong on June 10th, 2009

Yesterday (Tuesday), I had so many reasons to be happy.

I was given the honour to speak to a respected group of people of about 25pax from my former company to share my thoughts on a particular topic. That company will always be a part of me, I’d like to call it my work home if at all I were to be hired in Malaysia again.

Then, it was a series of happier things that followed when the Chinese Economy Rice aunty from the 3rd floor of my former office building offered me a free meal because we missed each other so much and she just wanted to treat me after a long time of not meeting each other. I have this close bond with toilet aunties and canteen aunties, I don’t know why - all throughout my entire life from primary school to college, university and at my workplace.

Then, another “happiness” to share was a new Blackberry phone that I now proudly own. I’m still getting used to it. 

Wedding coordination seems to flow according to my plan, I thank God for the motivation I receive from the people surrounding me. The most beautiful part about the wedding besides being “married” is the sharing of love through friends who come from across the seas, or simple gestures of people wishing us well or even people offering help. It’s also the reunion and the gathering of family and friends, but end of this month is also a farewell for us as myjojo and I both leave the country.

Some happy photos from last weekend that I wanted to share with you.

Blow-up salted popcorns! Absolutely yummy.

Bubbles that maintain its shape, making us feel like young again because we’ll always be children-at-heart. Just so lovely to see the bubbles floating in the air. Just takes your mind off all that stress for at least a while. Love it.

Asnie & Syidi’s yummy Aglio Olio Pasta with Beef Bacon bits. Yes, very very very yummy!

Some minty-tasting chicken I even managed to bite on in spite of my braces.

And, one home-made Aloe Vera commercial that is bound to make you laugh.

Al (Alasdair), stands for Aloe Vera. Yours truly was the cameraman trying to hold my laughter. That’s my sis’s laugh in the background by the way, not mine!

“It can save my life, it can save your life too.”

Next episode: Al Promotes Viagra (Man, I could make some money being Al’s agent!)

I’m My Dude’s Duchess

Posted by Kim Ong on June 8th, 2009

It was time to indulge in the weekend’s pretty dress-up! I was invited to the “Dude & The Duchess Goes Italy”, launch of the new collection of the store located at the upper ground floor of Bangsar Village II. This weekend, I was already getting into the mood of what I call my very own current fashion theme “the modern bride”. Of gloves, frocks, tutus, hat fascinators, red lipstick, tight pants or skirts nipped at the waist, bustiers, small earrings, deep eyeliners and bold colours, I felt Katy Perry’s “Hot & Cold”.

Above: Katy Perry on the bicycle.

Now I’m glad that my whole “hair issue” episode was over - apparently due to the Smooth & Silky hair shampoo and conditioner from Pantene that contained extra silicone to make the hair look smoother ended up making me hair look more greasy and clumpy. I’m back to my favourite Tresemmé. Thanks to everyone who gave me tips on saving my hair. Apparently that problem I had would lead to hair loss. Last thing I need during this period, ever!

Like my hairband?

I could so relate to Dude & The Duchess (D&D). They have a bicycle displayed at the entrance of their shop. They brought in a Vespa, also a vehicle myjojo owns in Melbourne. If D&D ever needs a 50’s - 70’s VW Kombi and a VW black beetle as their commercial vehicle, I’d be glad to assist. According to D&D, their fashion are for urban fashionistas on the go, those who take the tram in Europe and focuses on the basic simplicity in their outfits. Inspired by Parisian fashion of the 20’s mixed with contemporary elements, their designs are mostly tailored locally and in Hong Kong while the fabric’s from Europe. Scroll down for more photos of models strutting the catwalk…

My ladies chose to be in blue - coincidentally!

This was the store I was talking about earlier that had a bicycle at the entrance!

Will, Jean, Kim & May.

Champagne and more food.

Button mushrooms.

Yummy cake-bites.

Cheese on biscuit.

I turned arund and there was a new change of dish!

All from Delicious Restaurant.

There are two dudes. One with a confused face and the other who is faceless.

Yes, I am double-jointed. Guess you can tell which one’s my hand.

A pic with Mark Cheng Ho Nam.

F.ART: Fashion Meets Art.

Sis: This is definitely inequality of gender! Is it trying to say that the guy has a brain and the girl doesn’t?
Me: I thought there’s just this third party coming between the love of this couple (the middle shadow).

So, what’s your interpretation?

There were black and white old films displayed.

The models started strutting their walk.

Tights are sexy!

Big hats are in. Big sunnies never go out of style. In fact, they accentuate your features and make your cheeks look more sunken. Unique collars with seams and lines that accentuate the figure! What’s with my fascination for the word “accentuate”?

Hat fascinators are definitely in this season’s must-have’s!

And of course, you need a man with a good body to hold. *blushes and dreams away in forlorn over to Japan*

I think my hen’s night came two weeks too early! Gulp!

With da ladies.

And of course the multi-talented designer himself, Richard Tsen.

After the show…

Any and every opportunity to have more photos taken with my lovely other half because I’ll be missing her much, soon…

Our derriere.

Itchy eyes again, couldn’t resist. I guess it was okay for me to try out those shoes.

Luckily the sole wasn’t comfortable. *grins*

That wasn’t the end of the day though…. To be continued….

Note: Thanks to those who contributed under my group KIMONG @ SPCA. Digi will be paying RM555 (as of now) to SPCA with your clicks. That means I had 111 people support this cause already! Scroll down this page for more info.

Can See Cannot Touch

Posted by Kim Ong on June 6th, 2009

It was love at first sight when I walked into the store. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that bag. It’s definitely one of those bags that would match most attire in my wardrobe. I’m not one of those girls who have different colours of bags for different clothes you see. I am loyal towards one bag and always try to avoid transferring items across bags too often, although I cannot avoid (sometimes I need to use clutch bags!). I’m a real black, white, brown, silver or gold person when it comes to bags and also shoes.

Okay now, the next one to save up for would be this:

The Guccissima Men’s Black Briefcase

…which is definitely beyond my budget. I always love a big bag to dump everything in it without making me look too skinny and frail holding the bag.

So I was looking at this, at less than half of the price of the Guccissima Briefcase:

I like bags that have big outstanding buckles (preferable silver) for day use and the hint of brown adds depth to the bag making it look professional. The slight metallic material makes it look modern. I love the balance. So soft and durable on top of that.

p/s: I did ask permission from the store assistant to have these two photos taken on the pretext of “I have to get the opinion of my partner.”

It’s probably gone now. Sold and being kept by another owner. Not sharing its brand name so you can’t go hunting for it. If I can’t have it, I won’t let you have it! *evil grin*

The bag is definitely unnecessary at this point. I was just going through my wardrobe and realised that I still have many items I have not utilised yet. I should be mature enough to know whether or not I should get it.

Must-Do’s
1. Save money for THE DAY - for manicure, pedicure, gifts and other minor unforeseen costs that add up to the bulk of entire cost.
2. Control the mental state of mind - can control pocket, equals to: can control myself and things around me. THE SECRET!
