The most important event in 2017. Exactly 3 weeks after IMMY 2017, we tied the knot at Masjid Raja Fisabilillah Cyberjaya on 1st December 2017 the same day as Maulidur Rasul. It was a simple ceremony with the presence of our families and friends. We were having a tough time who to invite because the masjid put a limitation on the number of attendees. We would like to apologize if we didn't invite most of our close friends but we were glad when some of the attendees put it live event on social media for others to watch. Even most of my relatives were not invited. Ian & Dmi also were away in Italy with their mommy, a bit sad without them by our side but both parties were unable to change the traveling date and wedding date.
Thanks to my wife for single-handedly doing all the preparations by herself. Since this is our second marriage, the event was simple and very cost-effective, we managed to handle the preparation ourselves without much help from families and friends. We didn't do any reception because we rather spend the money on our kids than use it for the wedding reception. In fact none of our friends who are married for the 2nd or 3rd time ever do a reception or bersanding, unless the bride is anak dara.
My wish for this marriage would be blessed by Allah, romantic and fun with constant nourishment to survive and thrive. We will spend time together and enjoy each other company.
Gorgeous... isn't she?

Special thanks to Bandit for being my Best Man, last-minute request. Without him, D-day will be a disaster. Huge thanks to Tri Diva Diana, Harum & Ann for helping Fiza from the day before the event. Thank you also to the photographer Fadil & videographer Yusri for the wonderful shots. And our gratitude to all our family and friends for showing your support of our relationship.
The initial plan was One Night in Bangkok, but we flew earlier so that we can have 2 nights in Bangkok. A good place to shop for cheap clothing and devour Thai food. When we don't have enough time to spend together at home, we go to travel together.
Arai or Shoei Helmets in Malaysia are considered as top brand and they are very expensive, nothing less than RM2000 a piece and some models fetch up 3-4 thousands ringgit. I always wanted to buy one but the price has put me on hold until I found out Japanese Yen dropped so much now and it is cheaper to buy online from Rakuten online shopping. I bought my Arai Tour Cross 3 Helmet more than one thousand ringgit cheaper in Japan. When I purchased it via a friend in Tokyo, I didn't know I need a permit to ship it to Malaysia. So, when the package arrived at POS Malaysia KLIA, it has been confiscated by the Royal Custom. I had 21 days to get custom clearance or it will be shipped back to Tokyo. POS Malaysia sent me a letter saying that my package has been kept at POS Malaysia KLIA waiting for custom clearance. Then with the letter I went to MITI (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) office at Kompleks Kerajaan Jalan Duta to apply for the AP. I didn't call when I go ther...
One of the wishes I have on my bucket list is to own a big bike before I hit 40. A long time ago (in the year 1997 to be exact), when I came back from Japan after finishing my studies, I wanted to cry looking at the price tag of big cc motorcycles in Malaysia. Due to all kinds of taxes imposed by the government, they are ridiculously expensive!! Probably, the most expensive in the world! (How ironic, big bikes are cheaper in Singapore than here??) With the fresh grad salary I was getting at that time, there was no way I could afford to buy one. If I want to purchase one, I have to choose between owning a big bike or a car. With family on the way, I had to choose the latter. With a car, I can ferry my family around. Fast forward to the present time, only at the end of last year, I realized I still didn't fulfill this wish. I already have in my mind a few bikes within my budget to consider including Monster, Shiver, Versys, Dorsoduro, 800GS, Z800, and Street Triple. Finally, I ch...
