JY

This guy right here is my kind of definition of a caring, loving, understanding, compassionate, appreciative, motivating, supportive, funny, crazy and weird boyfriend and best friend. (You're kind of the best!!) Shoutout to you buddy!

Thank you for loving me wholeheartedly when I am at my lowest. Thank you for choosing to be the same person that you were ever since day one. Thank you for not changing throughout the past seven (!!) months. Thank you for being so raw and honest with me. Thank you for being the solid rock that I can hold onto so tightly during times when I'm crushed into pieces. Thank you for tolerating my insane moments. Thank you for accepting the fact that I do stupid faces all the time. And most of all, thank you for allowing me to play a part in this journey of yours.

You shower me with great support endlessly and I am so glad that I am growing so much from you. Having you by my side is definitely a blessing from God and I am ever so thankful that He made us cross paths. I can only choose to trust Him during this next chapter that we will be going into very soon. It's definitely going to be a rocky season but I am positive that we CAN and WILL remain strong as ever if we stay rooted in Him amidst all the challenges that we may face.

I believe love is different for all individuals. Personally, I understand that love requires a whole lot of trust, understanding, humility, and commitment. It is not just a temporary feeling that you would only have when you're all happy with your partner. When couples have tensions with one other, do you not love/feel loved then? You have a choice. To understand the whole situation and fix the issue (the problem could just actually be within yourself sometimes), or to take a step backwards from the relationship and let the problem be resolved by itself? I choose to disagree with the latter option. Sometimes, if I realise that the problem is actually just me being so sucked into my own ego and emotions, I would muster all the courage that I have and remind myself that it is not worth it to get frustrated at petty things. Trust me, it is hard to let your pride come before you sometimes. But I guess it is vital to be reminded that we are so tiny in this world and that there are indeed bigger problems beyond our own issues. 

I honestly have no idea where I'm going with this but I guess I just had to let out whatever thoughts that are flowing inside this tiny head of mine... Until next time then!

p/s: I don't usually get so personal about my life but I guess this fella's a little different... and special :)

Throwback to our day trip down to Malacca back in February

Priceless smiles

Throwback to about a year ago... I miss these kids and their smiles. They really know how to brighten up your day :)

Desperately need to go out and shoot... Time, please slow down.

Love,
Char.

Timothy & Alyssa

No, these are not their pre-wedding photos. (Still too young)

Year of the Rooster

Happy Chinese New Year from my family to yours!

I've always loved this particular festive season because I get to devour all the CNY snacks and not have to worry about a single thing. Home-cooked reunion luncheons & dinners are always greatly appreciated by me as I do not see a need of going out to dine in restaurants that are practically packed with so many people. I am truly thankful for both my mum and grandma for cooking up a feast this year!!

May 2017 - the Year of the Rooster, be a year where all of us will be in good health, a year where we will appreciate one another more and more, and a year filled with new experiences.

Love,
Char.

Tim turns 20

A very belated (July 2016 to be exact) birthday photo diary.

As I was editing this batch of photos, I am reminded of the best friends that I've been blessed with. I've known Catrena for close to a decade now. As for Joanna & Penny, this year will be our 7th mark! Missing them dearly today :(

Love,
Char.

Kuala Lumpur #2

JY and I decided to have a date day touring around KL last Saturday. We had always wanted to take some photos around KL but hadn't gotten the time to do so. So since the both of us were free last week, we decided that it was finally time for us to become tourists of our own city!

If you've seen pictures, KL is practically famous for its twin towers, central market, merdeka square, petaling street, little india and many more. It was quite impossible for us to visit every single tourist attraction because of the crazy weather. I can only blame the scorching heat. If Malaysia was 16 degrees cold, I wouldn't mind walking around KL for 12 hours straight.

Special thanks to JY for being my personal photographer and for being able to handle my awkward moments. Very grateful for your presence in my life :)

p/s: The reason why I have a ton of photos of both JY and I is because I took too many shots of KL the previous times I played tourist in the city. You can check it out here!

Love,
Char.
