Vietnam


A brief report of my trip in Vietnam . .
It's Independence day in Ho Chi Minh. The city itself is an ongoing party, and everyone is celebrating. Clichés converge at this navel of the world. You almost want to laugh, but you can't help feeling these Vietnamese know more about having fun than we do. I had a lot of their infamous 'Beef Noodle' from here, and the red meat sweetness breaks open in my mouth. It even smells red. One more thing to mention before i forgets, of the many myths that mushroomed from the carnage of this land, the coffee here is just pure class. My caffeine addiction is hitting up my veins again.

I wish I could stay longer, but my work back in Malaysia kinda reminds me of my time here has come to an end . . .

Back From Blogging Hiatus

Yes! I was about to add a new blog entry and realised it's been years since I blogged last. Just two days ago, I dropped the 'blogspot' word from my domain name. Yay! I'm back and I'm trying to revive my blog after years of hiatus.  I've been feeling guilty about it almost every day (it's a lie) and I needed some sort of inspiration to start blogging again. So I decided to switched my blog's URL (domain name) from www.timmy-lai.blogspot.com to www.timmylai.com.  I hope this move will give me some sort of motivation to start  blogging again... *Excuses Excuses Excuses The truth is I don't want to buy a domain name and continue sitting around procastinating. Here you go. :)

Mental Photograph ( Part Two )

So far, there's never been a puff, bang, boom for me. Nothing even close, for that matter. Sure. there was my ex. Some people at church seemed to think we were perfect for each other and every now and then I'd run into her at church. We chatted once at church bookshop for a minute or so about nothing important and then amicably go our separate ways. There's had been a few before my ex, of course. I wasn't entirely clueless when it came to women, after all. I found them attractive and interesting, but more than that, I was genuinely fond of them. I was proud of the fact that I'd never shed a tear from the recent break-up despite remotely be considered a painful one. Not all breakups are mutual. Thankfully most of it petering out like a soggy fuse on a fire cracker as opposed to the big kaboom of fireworks overhead. I considered myself still friends with all my exes - R* ( lives in Indonesia now ) included - and figured they'd say the same thing abo...

Blessed One Year To My Amazing Wife.

I still can’t believe this is true, but today is my beautiful wife and my first anniversary! We have married one year ago today on November 22nd, 2014 at Tanarimba, Bukit Tinggi. It was a magical setting and fit both of our personalities perfectly. We wed in front of rustic, chilly weather with the view of a beautiful pond just beyond the arch. Tania and I a lovers of all things vintage. She's a person who loves 'options' and I am a creative person, Together, we created a ceremony that embodied both. I remember last year, at this very time, I was waking up with butterflies in my stomach, donning a gorgeous suit, a giant list of to-do’s scrolling through my mind, and the comforting thought that I'm finally marrying the finest, the most beautiful girl, God ever put on this earth. What a year! An indescribable, humbling feeling, to be loved that much by my wife. I just want to start by saying; Thank you, baby, Thank you for beaming, dashing towards...
