S E E K E E L E E



It seems like a tradition to document my birthday experiences in this space. I guess making this tradition could be useful for me in the future considering how forgetful I can be and I really just want to count my blessings. 

I've always considered myself as a grateful person, always remembering the good and forgetting the not-so-good. However, this year has been a struggle to maintain that characteristic (not sure why) I can only guess that it's probably that I am now in a transition? Life's been a little challenging lately. I've not been getting enough (quality) sleep, rest, 'alone' time etc. But at the same time, life's gotta go on.. While struggling, I've never ceased to keep my relationship with God a daily thing. Sometimes I do wonder if He's listening, and other times, I do wonder if He's annoyed with me. Hah! In spite of all my thoughts, I know He still loves & cares for me and is still speaking to me. So I want to thank Him for His everlasting, unconditional love in my life for the past 28 years! Here's to..... 29! 

Yes, this child is finally TWENTY NINE! 

Never imagined this day would come by so quickly. Haha! I'm so thankful for the people in my life. So glad that no matter how old I turn, I still get parties and celebrations and presents! So here's to acknowledge the people whom I treasure and appreciate for spending their time, money and effort to celebrate Sheryn Ng! Not pictured here are the gifts I received from my sister, Sarah who got me so many goodies I like and also a close friend, Joanne who squeezed in our tight schedule for a yummy Korean treat! My heart (and stomach) is full! 

A surprise Birthday dinner at the Ooi's



Putting this here because the hubs cooked everything on this plate. What's more important? IT'S DELICIOUS!

Right after the scrumptious home-cooked dinner, our dear Melody & Nick came to surprise me with a dessert! 

Birthday eve dinner at Hard Rock Cafe Penang by my lovely crazy ex-Hard Rock gang!
 Dinner at the cafe was 1 of the most delicious meals I ever had at Hard Rock. I think the chefs did such a good job improving the choices and quality of the food.

If you'd like to know, we had JUMBO COMBO, CLASSIC NACHOS, ORIGINAL LEGENDARY® BURGER, FAMOUS FAJITAS, TWISTED MAC, CHICKEN & CHEESE, ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK SPICY SHRIMP™. 

Everything we ordered tasted BOMB! So please take note of this if you ever go visit. Whee!
Got a free cake from the cafe and 1 more from ex Manager :)

Cheese cake rocks!

Received flowers at work today (my first time!) from the husband! WOW, Mr Wong, you step up every single year.

My birthday dinner at SPINK.
Lyn-Dee was our table host and it was a chill one! 



Our table host gave me a free birthday cake! Thanks, Lyn-Dee! 

A meaningful birthday present from my colleague, Jia Huoy bii.

Birthday Lunch with my colleagues at Brew House. Yum yum. Thank you for lunch, guys!

Third time celebrating at work! These are my teammates.

A day after my birthday, I spotted a full rainbow from my balcony!

My mummy got me a bean bag for my birthday! Woohoo!

My other family surprised me at dinner 2 weeks later (2 September), so sweet of them!

Some goodies I received from Wongs

Here's the hubs and me.. He was at every celebration except 2. Haha!

Bring it on, 30! 

Thank you for reading!

Love,
Sheryn

"Where's next??!!"  a question that will definitely pop up when we meet. This Phuket trip was decided in January this year and finally happened 3 months ago. To be exact, 31 March 2019. Phuket is the largest island and is 1 of the most visited places in Thailand.

I'm just going to briefly list down the things we did for 3 days, 3 nights through the photos.. I'm so sorry that I couldn't recall most of the prices or some important info coz I procrastinated for 3 months to make this post happen.. Please forgive me haha!



Our first group selfie at the Penang airport.
 We rented a Nissan Almera from the airport which fit us perfectly (5 adults, 1 child). We also got ourselves sim cards each from the airport. I think it's just really simpler to get a sim card if you wanna be connected to social media at all times.

Our first spot for supper even before reaching our hotel.

I was so impressed with the food that is sold in their 7E! Taste great too!

Later on, we went to stroll Bangla Street.
Not exactly suitable for kids but it's okay, we take it as an eye-opener haha! Here, you'll get to party and see things you don't see everyday in Malaysia.

I wish I tried what he was selling 
Some counterfeit makeup I saw.


Probably the best dessert snack place.

Bubble tea craze is not dead yet

Serene's choc cake!

THIS. WAS. THE. BOMB. French Toast with cheddar and vanilla ice cream

Bingsu?

Just in case, if you're wondering how much some of the food cost.
Please forgive me for forgetting what this viewing point is called.
FAMIREE PHOTO
SUH WINDY!
BROMANCING <3

Something Serene's been wanting to eat and finally got it!

Here's our teatime we got by the roadside at Patong beach!

No. 6 Restaurant. So good!
Really appreciate the size of shrimps that they use to fry pad thai!
Some TLC after dinner for only RM25/hour. 
 Unfortunately this lady has a strength of a horse. Haha! Regardless, we all had such fun and good laugh with the masseurs. When I told her I want her to be softer, she was somewhat offended and told me she couldn't do 'soft', so I swapped masseur with Hui Ling. This lady then started calling me 'nui nui' which is soft soft. Haha!

We actually tried croc meat and I felt horrible when chewing on it. Taste wasn't good.
Oh, the joy of having a 7 E right across our hotel! This was bought at 1am while the husband's asleep!
The next day, we went for a 1 day island hopping tour which we booked the day before. It wasn't very interesting as I prefer more activities. In this tour, we get to be canoed into the caves. It was relaxing, but I think I'd prefer some snorkeling. Heh!

Our guide took this for us! How sweet of him...
 Alright now, please get ready for lots of photo shooting photos!









After the tour, CW (Hui Ling's husband) had a little chat with the van driver and told us this place with good seafood buffet (WHAT I REALLY WANTED). This was THE HIGHLIGHT of the trip for me! We each paid around RM55 for an unending supply of fresh and tasty seafood. 

Look at that squid!
HEAVENLY!
Don't worry guys, here's where you can be as happy as I was! HAHAH! 
 The next day being our last, we went for more food hunting. How can you go to Thailand without having some pork leg rice amirite? We found this place on Google, on our way to the airport. They also sell curry noodles and pork soup, you can see below.


Pork Soup. It's a lil' sour but overall tasty.

A happy aunty!

YUM!
 After a heavy meal, we all needed to get the stuff out from our system before having even more. So we visited a cafe and spent some time there, took some photos, had some coffee... 




Right after that, we went to a mall to cool down. It was really hot in Phuket! We waited until the nearest night market was open for business and went to have a look. My oh my! So much seafood but so expensive... 

CW did not approve the price of the lobster! Haha!

Aha! Some worms... 

More wormsss

Ok, back to some normal food.

My new found favourite food!
We ordered some but I only had 1 and it wasn't pleasant!

You've not been to Thailand if you didn't have this!
1 more photo of us to end the post!
Overall, I really enjoyed the food and the company of this trip. Yes, I would go again! Thailand's 7 Eleven is probably 1 of the reasons why I want to return. 

Thank you for reading!
Love,
Sheryn
