Pot-Q

BBQ-ing crews who worked at the pit

Our supervising lady is checking the quality of the food. TM, YC, VV and HH spent most of their time bbq-ing chicken wings, sausages and fishballs for us. We had corns too..

VV still smiling charmingly although she was red burnt. Despite of the hot flaming fire, she smiled for the camera. Hope that she enjoyed the night. I love her bergedil potatoes which came in a hard plactic package Tesco/Giant bread packaging look alike.

I guess he is trying hard not to smile at the camera. TM actually volunteered himself to bbq for us. He is always the one who make the fire because of his certified qualitication as a king scout.


What they worked hard for and what we had done for ourselves??


Golden sausages. I don't know what is the meaning of arranging these two sausages together. I supposed because they make great picture.


A table of home cooked food. Everyone brought their own specialities. I personally feel everybody has done a good job and played good team work.


The hot and tasty BBQ-ed food




Chocolate banana from HH. She got a comb of banana from Tesco, she peeled the banana and cut off the center part of it. Stuffed chocolate pieces into in and wrapped each of them using aluminium foil. We watched it burnt and of course ate the bananas.


Reactions we got from the members


YC wanted the bananas so much.

There is so much to eat. You don't need to bite the fork. She is Alan's guest..

The only way to make her eyes look smaller is by laughing loud. I think she enjoy her own buttered herb rice.

We created romantic ambience

hiau-ness ..

and the ever natural golum look..


we bring them together.. the broke back gang.


What I think...

Finger lickin' good..


I'm lovin' it

Have it your way..


I want to have that piece too. I am not sure if he gave me that piece.

We thank him for the wonderful pictures

Grandma tears

When I swallowed two car sick pills when I boarded the bus on Friday night, I know this would be an interesting trip. My first time to Batu Pahat!!

My first encounter was with Huey Fen. She walked along the aisle in the bus and spotted me on seat 9/10. I was in the midst of settling down for the long journey bus.. stuffing bag into the small hole under the foot rest and preparing for the sleep. I gave her a simple "Hi!" and she walked on after nodding her head in an understanding manner. But she ended up being transferred to another bus before the bus started to move because she was heading to Muar.

I had an uneasy ride until I got down for the first toilet rest. I think it is due to the numeruous type of medicine I took before that. I took paracetamol, vitamin C, clarinase, car sick pill and strepsil all along the way. It is him who informed the driver to stop at the nearest rest pit :)



At about 7am, he called his mom to fetch us from Batu Pahat bus station. I had a friendly handshake with her, and she quickly welcomed me to the place where he was brought up.

First impression was, "WOw.., so neat". There is hardly an item on the table or any furniture set. Even his room was as empty and comfortable as a hotel room. We continued resting until mid day, where his mom fetched us to the pharmacy to meet the other family members, total up three of them :D.

We went to visit his grandmother too. She was too happy to see him. She hugged us, one each time. There were a few drops of happy tear rolling down her natural blushed cheek. She is a 88 years old lady who looked fair, plumpy and delighed to meet her grandson.

We spent 3 days in his humble home watching football matches, Amargeddon and Moulin Rouge, a simple round in Batu Pahat and a leisure walk in BP Mall.. not forgetting the sumptuos meals that his mother cooked for us all 3 days.. With all the school magazines of all years, project Sejarah Keluarga Saya in high schools.. he wanted me to know everything. I admired the collection of books in his house.. the novels.. I seriously think there are hundreds of them, Economics books, National Geographics, Readers Digests.. and encyclopedias.. I managed to read on a part in one of the book of my favourite author, Danielle Steel.

The overall summation on the trip is, I had an interesting, warm and relaxing trip with the greatest guy on earth to his place of birth meeting up his friendly mother, distinguished father, capable sister and passionate grandmother **wink**

Everyone is happy..

Listening to the love story of a friend of mine.
She is in love ... and it is a blissful love.
She was surprised, and happy.
She wore a wide smile from ear to ear the whole day.
She is glad now because she did not wait further for the yellow bus.
She had chosen her green bus instead.

Listening to another story on a friend.
She is happy she found a job in Singapore.
The happiest moment is she can able to stay close to her love one once more.
I am happy too, because she is my bestest friend.

Listening to another story..
It is my sister's.
She had gave birth to a baby girl.
Her name is Ern Rou.
We all love her, she is adorable.

I got my own story too, but I wanted to keep the sweet one to myself.
I am happy too because I have him.

Unthoughtful words...

Today was a busy day. I thought by wearing my favourite colour could bring me more pleasent look. Almost the end of working hour, we were gathered in the cafetaria for a mini celebration on project PRQ. I was sneezing in my cube for like 10 times per minute earlier, my head was pain and I feel heaty. In one simple word, I mean I am down sick. I was there 5 minutes earlier before we define punctuality at 5pm, and we waited there for another 20 minutes. I wasn't in a good mood and did not have the patience to wait for more than that period anymore. Some people said we are waiting for SK Fong. There it went.. I said, "Why he always so late one???!!!!". By the way, my voice was on top of the noise and it was clear to people surrounding 5 metres from where I stood. Suddenly a man slipped in between the crowd and walked past us heading to the front. Now everyone looking at me realising the person I was talking about just past by and I think he heard me. He walked to the front and began the speech with, "Hi, SORRY ". OMG... he was apologizing to me!!???? So, after I queued up and took some food, I quickly ate the mihun and ran upstairs to hide. Will he remember me? I was wearing purple and said some unthoughtful words which may impose a bad image to him. I am not feeling well.. I can prove that. See???

I am glad because I can write

I feel satisfied after using up 1/2kg of flour. I made it into 2 doughs.. enough to feed 4 stomaches. I used up one on Sunday and another one today. The soup base was "ikan bilis". "mee hun ge" is cheap but is my all time favourite. I am glad because I can eat.

It is so hot which I think the weather can cook an egg. I keep on sweating when I step out of the office or home. I am glad because I can walk.

I walked into the auditorium and felt uncomfortable. I did not want to attend this full team meeting but I met someone outside the washroom and he keep persuading me to come. After about 6 hours, only I realised I have a sms during the earlier boring meeting. It is from an old friend which I seldom see which says "Nice hair. I like it!!".. I am glad I have friends.

The reason why I on my laptop now is to work. I have unfinished work and I need to do something that I do not like on workgroup stuff. I am glad I have work.

rainy day

This is today's dinner...

Last man on battlefield

I almost forgot about the Sport's Day opening ceremony. Let me put down some words on the activities we had on that day. Basically to welcome the coming days of sport events in PDC, the committee has arranged 2 games for us to warm up the opening ceremony. They started with dodgeball matches. The matches were between various group in my department. Up there, I have created a picture of WeeLiem standing alone to be the last man in the battlefield. My creativity isn't too bad.. My drawing is not ugly either :P

Of course I won't be left out on such things on the earth. I took up ping pong game. The official name is Ultimate Ping Pong. Of course we did not win... that is already predicted.

See?? Me and Jin Wen were showing off !!!!!!!!!

A small gift ..

It has been short, but long enough to know you...

It has been old, but the memory is still as fresh as the dew...

It has been me, but now I have you...

Saturday rendang chicken

This is the only time I have asked my mom on how to cook a dishes. I planned to cook rendang chicken since Monday. That's why WeeLiem and I went to Tesco on the very jammed day which Penang bridge was reported to have bomb planted, to get some ingredients. But the final shopping was done in Super Tanker morning market today. I managed to capture some pictures while preparing the dishes.

Part of the ingredients

The salted chilli boh..

We are almost there...

The final outcome !!!









He gave me 13 out of 10 :D

Nerd Test

I don't know how come I got so high score.. I can't answer most of the questions.. Hahaha

Indulgence

You will savour every moment when you taste the Fondue.. I feel it is very tempting when you dipped the ball of ice-cream into hot chocolate. I love eating it when the chocolate is still soft but some people prefer it when it is harden on the surface. It was my second time eating Fondue yet I feel it was special still. I have taken a picture of myself dipping the ice-cream but I deleted it after transfering the picture into my laptop. Maybe I can't see the details clearly in handphone screen. The real vision in laptop has shown my ugly black teeth. The photographer did not inform me when he took the picture. He really need spanking from me .. hehe... I think this thing can be shared by 3-4 people. It was indeed quiet an luxurious treat on Sunday afternoon due to it's costly price.

Cheryl Yew Ern Rou

CHERYL YEW ERN ROU: I believe this is her name if the mummy stick with it. She was born on 14 of March 2007. This small little creature is very adorable.

I travelled far enough just to meet her. To have missed the bus on Friday night because of unfinished work, I bought another ticket on the next morning 11am to go back to Klang. That Saturday is her 4th day after birth. Very unlucky, I had boarded another worn out bus. The exterior looked new and shinning maybe because the bus operator company bought an old bus and repainted it. The bus keep on stopping, I guessed about 5 times and around 20 minutes everytime it stops. At last I arrived in Klang bus station at about 6pm. Mother had called twice to check on my progress. I sat on the bench with the Indonesians and waited for an available public bus. As long as I remember my last trip on a public bus, this supposed to be the place but it seems weird. I did not see any Pelabuhan Klang - Klang bus for my 10 minutes there. I rang my sister to confirm my stand. Hahahaha.. it has been too long since my public transport day, the waiting spot had moved to another part of the bus station. OK.. now I know I am already late. I arrived at home about 6.30pm and started to unpacked and packed again for my next journey.

After a quick dinner, I started my journey to Tangkak. I drove my mom and 2 younger sisters in the petite silver Kelisa. My mom was anxious to meet her grand-daughter and also to pass my sister some stuff according to traditional practise; the pink teddy bear towel which my mom had modified, the gold chain, 2 bottles of sesame oil, hard liquor and some other things which I can't recall.

The new born baby is long, I think the better word to use is tall. She did not open her eyes a lot. If she does, it is just a quick, small peek to the world. She sleeps all the time. My mom said a new born need to sleep in order to grow.. Hahah.. funny but sounded true.

I hope to see her soon, again...

sunflower

It is a bit weird when he asked me to bring my handphone with me. i thought he wanted to ring me to wish me happy valentine's day. After for about 1 hours sitting boringly in the auditorium, my handphone vibrated. The number is an odd one. I answered the call and the caller asked me to go to the lobby. Oops.. he said he has something for me. I skipped happily like a 6 year old kid towards the entrance. There is a mid year old man waiting steadily with a bouquet on the table. He spotted me easily because I am smilling at him. He showed me a piece of paper where I need to sign on it and passed me the bouquet and said .. This is for you... I knew it is from who.. it was 5 sunflowers packed very beautifully with some colourful papers.

Announcement to Fang Fang & Xiao Wei: New post!!

The reason behind this tittle is both the girls are anxious to see my next write up. I have stop writting for a while, like 1 month or more?? .. These 2 girls are the "sampat" ones and always critic at people postings? In real person, both have some similarities.

I think they are equal height when stand next to each other. Maybe in the early of 160cm? That is a good height already because they can reach the counter when go to bank. Hahaha... I remember back in 1990-ties, when I was just a little kid of the age around 8 years old, I always go to the post office, banks and other counters to pay the bills and do some office girl work for my parents. That time, the counter they had in the places aren't the normal table height, it was so much higher. I believe the officer that was working, can only see my hands, but not my face.

Another similarity that I see between them are the chubby face they got. -- No comment--

Next one is both of them are the proud owner of pet: DOG!!! One named her puppy as the character in Sesame Street , Elmo.. The other one seems like having more dogs.. From what I remember from her Friendster photo tag are Cookies and some other food. Pathetic.. She sees her dogs are edible stuff..

Smart?? OK la.. both are smart. I don't want to continue more..and last but not least, they both are GOOD and NICE people.. HAHAHAHHAHA...

Waited so long

Now is 00:36. I waited so long for just the name to turn green. I can only leave some words behind. I knew one day my wish will come true. I m feeding the mosquitoes for very long time now. At last the show ended in peace. I have nothing to say today because there is nothing much happened. I tried to get a dress for myself but ended up buying whitening mask. I wanted to go to bus terminal but I forgot about it when I was driving.

loves a man with a pet

I flipped the pages on past CLEO. I noticed an article called 6 reasons to love a man with a pet. It reminds me of a girl friend who mentioned her boy friend loves dog.

The 6 reasons are:

• He understands commitment and responsibility
• There is always someone else to blame if you break wind at his place. (If you stay together, then no way)
• You know that after toilet training a dog. changing a nappy won't be that much of stretch
• They teach guys how to be affectionate (I guess those licking part)
• He has to get off the couch to take Fido for walks. (Same goes to playing games whole day)
• There's that little spot under the chin that of you tickle just right ... (muahahaha)

But for myself, I scare of animals especially those moving furry creatures.

need to rest

I just need one quiet moment!!!!!!...... I need rest and I need sleep. Baby, can I hibernate somewhere? I have bundle of unfinished work which I have no mood to work on and I am really slow on weekend. I was out busy for yesterday half day until 2pm. Out again from 7pm till night and got myself a working bag. The bag can't fit in my laptop. So sad.. but I guess I will leaveit unzipped on the top. What left over now is un-touched work. I have just cleaned the floor of my room and made the bed. Now typing here with my face covered in Body Shop HONEY and oat 3-in-1 scrub mask. I need to work hard in the next few hours. I am now feeling a bit regret for yelling to my mom the other day. Her hearing is turning bad these years.

Tired

I feel so tired easily. Altough I had enough sleep, I still feel tiredness all over me. I am exhausted as early as noon time everyday. I am having weariness from mental exertion. My movement is little slow than usual and everything I do required comparatively time for completion. Is it due to the weather or food? Talking about food, I really need to control my food intake. Smaller portion to feed my big appetite sounds a bit crazy but I will do it. I can eat a lot. It can be like 2 bowls of rice every meal at home. Only at home, my mom's cooked food can beat the famous chinese restaurant's dishes. I really mean it. Especially those pork rib and pork slices with salted fish... Yummy... yeah, all pork. I like pork :P than chicken.

missing you

I have been missing him since the first day from three. Wished that he is here with me. We both found each other and it is a bliss.. It has been long since my last relationship. I started this because I feel that he is the right one. I feel I am the happiest girl in the world.

Apart, never again ...

You stare at me, I am shy
You ring me, I am fine
You look for me, I am glad
You talk to me, I smile
You comfort me, I am touched
You joke to me, I am happy
You miss me, I feel the same
You hold me, I am free
*************************

What's in my bag

I have a backpack which I always bring out everyday. Out i mean is to work place. I try to minimize the number of things in it to lessen my burden. It contains the following:

1) Laptop -- This is the only thing that happen to must be with me. Without it, I can just stay at home.

2) Purse -- Without money, IC and license, practically, we cannot go out.

3) Mobile phone -- No one goes out without a mobile nowadays.

4) Umbrella -- This is the lady side of me, "sediakan payung sebelum hujan"!!

5) Papers -- Which I think some can be thrown away. Plan to read some of them, but seems like I do not need them already.

6) Keys -- Of course I need them

Alright, my bag contains only basic needs. I guess the most womanized item in my bag should be the umbrella. OMG, maybe I am too engineered now.

Xmas home trip

Intro:
This is the third blog with "XMAS" spotted in the tittle.

23 Dec 2006
I am at home now. I opened my closet and found my old diary. "I love him a lot and I want to marry him". It sounds so far away from my life now. When I read through the papers, I had a mixture of sad, dissapointed and happy feelings. I felt the joy I had those times when I am being loved and cared. When I reached the page, where joted down when we quarelled or getting scold,ed I gripped my teeth firmly through that few minutes of reading. I just woke up from sleep as usual at casual hours at home. Maybe I was too tired walking in the mall. Jusco is Klang first shopping mall that has not so many Malays. It was a famous hangout place during my school time. There are a few places that I once hang out at. I don't go out so often, but these are the places I been to with my dear school friends -- forever friends

1) Bukit Raja Shopping Mall --> This is top in the list. SOmehow we call it Jusco than Bukit Raja bla bla bla..It has shops ranging from Vincci, padini, googles, FOS, Polo and so on. Since it is more identical to Shops in Sunway Pyramid (but is more inexpensive though), young people like (*grinning) loves hanging out there and not forgetting it has a cinema too.

2) Klang Parade --> Erm, it is hard to get here because it needs 2 round of bus to reach this place. We need to get to klang bus station and then change to another bus which goes to Meru. Normally we don't stick to this place but we came here because of those Klang people or friends from school in Klang, say nearer to High School.. our activity partner in Interact Club

3) The Store --> I don't come here so often, but due to my close friends who went to tuition classes near this place, I went there too to meet up with them or bought birthday gifts in Rivon.

24 December 2006
You know, today was not a relaxing day either. I woke up at 9.15am and realised that only left me and my youngest sister at home. Yvonne was still soundly sleeping and I crawled out from the queen size bed not to wake her up. When she found out I was awake, I informed her of the tasks assigned by mother the day before. Yeah, to the morning market. Erm, she was supposed to follow me there because I wanted to get her a pants.. Those with ribbon belt. Yes, she fond of the type of pants and I find it too expensive in shopping mall. Maybe it is better to get one round of trip in market to see if the pants is available there. So we got the few plastic bags of groceries and cold storage foods for my mom and the ever-tasty chee-cheong-fun. Hehe.. Klang chee-cheong-fun differs from Johor or Penang ones.

1) Klang - We have variety of yong tau fu choices to pick from but I chose my usual items, the "fun", with "taukey" and the sweet sauce plus a little bit of chilly.

2) Johor - this is the Hong Kong style chee-cheong-fun where normally there are 2 ingredients, either the "char siu" or prawn. The ingredients are wrapped by the freshly steamed "fun".

3) Penang - This one a bit weird. Basically the chee-cheong-fun contains only the "fun" with sweet sauce plus the prawn paste.. =P

By the time we reached home, I got the reminder call from Kevin to meet up with him, James and Samuel for movie in Mid Valley. I was a bit lazy actually because I need to drive alone all the way to KL for just a over-exaggerating Curse of Golden Flower starring the ever famous Chow Yuen Fatt, Gong Li, Jay Chow and a few more whom I don't recognised. It took me approximately 50 minutes to find a parking. I don't understand why people like Mid Valley so much. It is damn difficult to get a parking and I finally found one in front of the slidding door. Lucky me, but (*wink*) it is not a formal lot-- illegal one. I don't care anymore, I don't want to circle the place anymore so I took the place which seems like a good spot.

I managed to get home at 6pm and brought Yvonne to get her new spectacles. haih.. it is so expensive because her power reached 900 and the fella adds Rm20 for special-order-of-the-lense-fee and another rm100 for 1.61 glass index lense. Hard to earn money nowadays. Man.. How am i going to survive?..

25 December 2005
The three days trip home fast to end soon. I drove mother to market again to buy some vegetables. Now I am writting here, the time shows 14:19. My ride coming at 4pm, and I can't finish writting my self-assesment yet. I am tired with my work.

Merry Xmas

Today I joined the carol practise for the third time. The songs that we are going to sing tomorrow are:
1) Santa Claus Is Coming To Town -- Very kiddy
2) Silent Night -- This song is kind of slow and boring but I personally love it
3) Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
4) Jingle Bells
5) Joy To the World
6) We Wish You A Merry Christmas -- Everybody should know this
7) Feliz Navidad -- Fun song

The girls are divided into two groups and I am standing in the second row the first from left. For some parts of the song, we will be doing "echo" but I am singing the normal part. Nobody knows I sing badly because hahaha.. I hardly sound :P Who cares, we just want to have fun.. *Wink Wink*. We need to wear either red, pink or white for the performance. I think I going to wear pink, I got no pretty red shirt.. Pink is the best candidate as for now. I think tomorrow I am not going to have a lot time to work as the xmas celebration starts after lunch and at 5.30pm, we are supposed to depart for The Ship in Ferringhi. I hate to spell Ferringhi like my buddy too because I typed 5 times to get this word correct everytime.. We are all going for a colleague's farewell dinner. Erm, it's kind of tough because I want to tie my belt to buy new year stuff. I think I gotta spend at least rm50 for this dinner.. Haih.. fail to save $$ again..

When I am listening to Fool Again by Westlife just now, my tears dropped because it flashed back my stupidity into my mind. Yes, I was stupid last time to treat him so nice but he disregard my kindness. He was harsh to me and always reject my request for help although in other people eyes, he is a kind and helpful guy. I am hating him a lot. Everytime I ignore his existance, he will try to start conversation with me.. But if he found out that I can treat him as a friend again, he will once more push me away.

I am so occupied with work. I think this work going to kill me. I have lesser and lesser time to play nowadays. I am going home this weekend. Merry Xmas !!!

Gua Tempurung and Kellie's castle

Kellie's castle

I am kind of lazy in blog-ging lately. I have been complaining to many people that I am broke. I gonna reduce any activities that cost a lot. The big problem here is whenever I said that, I still go out and spend money. Haha.. At last after I got the bonus, I can pay my study loan now. I did not pay the loan last month. So, I straight away pay RM600 online. It is quiet painful also when the sum of money is being deducted from my bank account. I know sometimes it is hard to please people as I don't like to change my verse to suit some people. Just can't really stand the way they talk or treat people. Yesterday I had a full day trip to Gua Tempurung plus Kellie's Castle sight seeing. We went into the cave with many people, yes, I mean many, people from all types of life. We had the old, young, kids, youngster, father, mother, Indian, Chinese, Malay and Ang Mo.. The huge number made the trip lesser exciting due to the time spend waiting for each other. We started with the wet path first, that is by going through kind of long way in water, walk like a duckie and float our body to pass some low part. Just can't straighten my body because I know it will knock my head. The torch light is very important in there. We need a good torch light because the normal one really can't see far in dark. By the way, those torch light in market is a good product, I soaked it in water and dropped a few times on the hard rock, but it still shine brightly. We went to various paths and the guide showed us a those rocks, staglatite and staglamite that resembles some post or object. We see the Guan Yin statue, laughing buddha, dinasour, elephant and many more. Wonder who is so free to sit there and find the interesting carvings. There is a part where we need to slide to a slope and that is where I made my pants dirty. The orange soil stick to my pants and shirt, hard to take off, I am still soaking them right now in Dynamo solution. After the sliding part, we will see a small hole. It is small, just enough to fit a person. We go down into it one by one. Afterwards, we walked inside the cave using the stairs. It is amazingly beautiful in there. I feel so funny because I imagined it to look like a huge stadium with dim lighting. Muahaha... We snapped some pictures in the cave but yet to receive. After the cave, we bathed and feed ourselves with some foods at the stall outside the cave. We went to Kellie's castle after spending some 1 hour plus there. Kellie's castle is a beautiful place and is identical to the inspiration of Taj Mahal in India. The casle is build by Kellie for his wife Agnes, a British heiress. But he never got the chance to stay in his castle because he died before the construction completed. The place is really beautiful, it is built on the hill will a small river surrounding it. I felt physically tired after the trip and wanted a good sleep. That's why I write this the next morning :D

Xmas wishes

I am happy because I received a lot messages on my Xmas tree.

I know I will lost the messagse on day when the sponsor remove the page.

I can eat vege too

Today I took vegetable for my dinner. I had brought back a container of salad from last night party home. Just now, I squeezed more salad sauce on them and finished the whole box. I cannot believe I took vegetable for a meal. Today is Friday but I am too far away from hardworking to do work. Honestly today I did not work. I just replied a few emails and achive the disk. I know I need to complete the testcase for my manager. He has been too nice to me and the subordinates. I guess I need to help him in his assessment for this year. I have bought a nail polish from The Faces today and I plan to put on it after my bath. Is is violet. Maybe today I shall go for a bit of in-house beauty session.

bus broke down

I thought of reaching penang before morning, that is why I bought the 5pm bus ticket. The bus end up arrived at Klang station 30 minutes late. I was in good mood and those bad encounter did not bother me much. After coming out from the express bus stop in Slim River, the bus gave some funny noise when going up the hill. The worse came when smoke started to come into our comfortable space. Someone approached the driver and the bus stopped. We were in the middle of highway far from reaching Ipoh yet. I only remembered the nearby signboard says Songkhai... My brother in law rang me after I sent a simple sms to inform my family that I was stuck there because the bus broke down. This is my first time encountered this kind of incident. My brother in law then passed the phone to my worried mom.. Mama started to enquiry on the situation and my location. The first thing she asked is how many people are there. I told her we have the whole bus of passengers stading by the road side. She asked if I am scared.. I laughed and replied her "Of course no laaa". After half an hour, mama called again and this time, some people already took the passed by-bus to Ipoh. A lot of empty spaces bus were heading towards Ipoh. Those people are just too lucky then. The left over were us who are going to Butterworth and Penang. Some buses passed by and stopped but to no avail, none of them are going to Penang. After 2 hours waiting, at last a bus to Alor Setar picked up the bUtterworth people and left us 6 people to Penang there.. I was holding the ever-heavy backpack and it was really torturing. But I was too thirsty because I did not bring any water supply onto the bus. I have asked my friend to fetch me from bus station earlier and he was too kind to waited for me until 1.30am. Yes, at last there was a bus picked 6 of us up. Mama called the last time at 11pm when she told me that she is going to sleep and make sure that I am safe. The bus took a lot of detour and I was on the bridge at 1.24am. At this moment, I knew I should inform him that I am arriving. Haha.. The best part of the day was he fetched me with a cold Pepsi in hand.

The theory of flying a kite

I often heard that love is like playing a kite. Let me ilustrate the scenario. The tiny nylon string represent the freedom given to the partner. The partner very obviously is the kite while the player is ownself. You see, when you started the game, first thing you will do is to let go the kite. We tend to let the kite flies freely and the kite goes far and far away. At one point when you know the wind is so strong and if the kite continues flying, it might be pulled by the air pressure and breaks. So, the player will pull back the string a bit by a bit to the comfortable length again. Beware when letting it goes, because it might break and won't fall into the place where you stand again. Your kite must be very stunning because if it doesn't you won't like it in the first place and you won't be flying it as well. When holding the string, remember to be gentle. You don't want the roller to cut off the string accidently too. This paragrapgh is written for those who are in love and hope that you can play your kite well and lovingly :P

Been conned

I feel so sick man.. After all it was just a dream. I guess things should clear up soon. I don't want to be cheated! Why can some one tell me what is happening?

dragon boat

I was positioned 1 metre higher than the rest on the boat. The boat is so called dragon boat but I don't see any dragon carved or stationed on the front. My post was the drummer. I was supposed to beat the drum accordingly and shout to motivate the team members. My team members look to be in good shape but unfortunately we did not win. I am in grey team and my gang is actually consist of those geniuses.. I just thought they and I are just not to be born to play. We are to work.. Haha.. It was quite a hot day but it did rain during the few minutes we were on the water. Luckily I got the SPF130 sun lotion left over from Phuket trip. The application was not hard. It is a good product though it is a bit too expensive.. A small bottle of size of mosturizer for Rm28. I did not get dark from fierce sun in Phuket and today's team building.

Sleepy day..

I am tired and sleepy. I haven't got chance to write this blog since last weekend. My life is in deprivation. I am lacking of some necessities in life. Maybe the food isn't enough and the room isn't big enough to store me. Sometimes, something came into our life, but it passed by. We shall not morne for the loss but to cheer up because the suffers had walked away. I estimate the longest time I morned for something is 3 years. I guess it was my notably stupid way of judging the importancy of a the matter that time. I am now in a meeting. I don't like meeting and I don't want to be in it. I know sometimes I show my uncomfortable face too obviously. Should hide it sometimes. But I prefer someone to be honest to me than wearing a mask. I look so ugly nowadays. Maybe it is caused by all the late night sleeps. I miss my mom now, damn it.. Can't get a phone and call her. I think she wants me to go home ocassionally. Although her reason is the newspapers and cardboard are bundling up too fast in our home, and she wants me to drive the stuff to the recycling centre, I knew deep in her heart, she wants me to be back home. Yeah.. I want to go home

is it true?

Some people always promise something but they never take action to realize what they have promised for. I am the one who always think that these people are serious in what they have promised. I believe in whatever reasons they give me but end up I am so much disspointed. The person is able to soothe my anger everytime with him simple phone call. I hate myself so much for letting myself to surrender so people can win over me. I am so sleepy now.. I spent a lot this week.. For the Phuket trip, repaired my car.. and a new handphone. My car had this funny rotating sound when it was moving. I spent 3 hours waiting for the workshop fella to repair my car.. He did not ask me to sit down or give me drinks during my stay there. The hot weather caused headache to me. I was so in great pain after the fix but still I proceed to my next destination. I got myself a brand new handphone. This is the first handphone I had paid for so far. I am quiet delightful for doing this, kind of a satisfaction after working non -stop sacrifiying my happy hours. It is not the latest model phone in the market, but is considered a good phone still..

post Phuket fever

The trip was too short but I enjoyed to the fullest all three days. This was my first time fly. With Air Asia slogan, Now everybody can fly!... I was granted my wish four times which we took off from Penang to KL, KL to Phuket, Phuket back to KL and KL to Penang again. It was nice for the first time, yeah first time is always the best! I was not in the good position when the journey started because I slept at 4am on the day and woke up at 6.30am to get ready to go to the airport. We were struggling to get the cheapest deal for Phi Phi Island on our second day. Everybody is trying to pull customers with their naughty and cunning trick. I guess the 1200Baht package is quiet fruitful because we were served with the nice dishes in the afternoon. I like the tomyam the most. I vommited in the speedboat due to the turbulance on board. It might caused by snorkeling. The fishes aren't as big as what I see in television. I was a so brave to swim all alone enjoying the sea view. I treat myself a bikini gift. It cost me rm40 only. You know, came to Phuket, the most luxurious food i think is rice. Everywhere is served fragrant rice. During short walk in Bangla road, I was holding a can of Thai beer named Chang Beer. There is a local guy who looked down at his own local product when he shouted "Chang Beer" in disgust when he saw me holding the can. The beaches are supposingly cleaner and clearer than Ferringhi. The whole street at night sells the same product we can buy in ferringhi.

Pathetic

I feel sad because I did something bad today. I was dissapointed and I told him that. It was quiet pathetic. I have always tell myself to control my emotion. I have failed today ... I don't want to fall into the deep hole again. I know when I fall, I can't get up so easily. Therefore, I will have to do every small thing in detail.

Here By Me

Came across a good song.. Did not mean anything by the lyrics I pasted here..

Here By Me - 3 Doors Down

I hope you’re doing fine out there without me
'Cause I'm not doing so good without you
The things I thought you'd never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood
So how could I have been so blind for all these years
I guess I only see the truth through all this fear of living without you

And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever beIt could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me

I can’t take another day without you'
Cause, baby, I could never make it on my own
I've been waiting so long just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
I'm sorry I can't always find the words to say
But everything I've ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love

And everything I have in this world
All that I'll ever beIt could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me
As the days roll on I see
Time is standing still for me
When you’re not here
I’m sorry I can’t always find the words to say

Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your lovex2
And everything I have in this world
And all that i'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me

happy happy ~

It was a happy day on 27th Oct. The day started till climax in the noon and slow down in the night. I was touched by the kindest people around me.. I received greetings from my high school friends, coursemates, university friends, other friends, colleagues, relatives, sisters, and parents... They are just to marvelous for remembering my birthday. I have a lil bit of empty space in my heart for something else. Happy happy~

My sis tummy is filled with a living thing.. haha.. it's a girl.. we have been shopping for her needs on last Wednesday. She got her toddler's "car", comforter, clothes, and others.. so many things..

Advanced celebration :)

Thanks to my buddy aka Sushi for organizing an early celebration for my birthday. I am going to turn 24 next week.

I was told that we are going to Tambun, and my intelligent brain whispered to me that it would be seafood *wink wink*. Kitty asked to go with the rest first and my first reaction was, how can it be? Am I not supposed to be the VIP? VIP doesn't go first.. Haha.. This then has become Kitty's joke of the day. The S[SJ] had already standing still down at the lobby with their usual soft spoken chat when I arrived. By the way, we are taken to the place in Chicken Lil's superb four wheel Toyota Corollla 1.6. The communicated map has brought us to Holland but our marvelous combinacated EQ route us back to the right lane. We followed the sign board Klinik Batu Kawan and reached there the earliest. The other two cars which is chauffeur by our two gentlemen arrived 20 hours later.. Haha.. This time, our dedicated team member of the Hot&Spicy Chicken Wing did not manage to make it because she got to have candle night dinner with her spouse. Anyway, Chicken still having a good time and played with Chicken Lil's friend.

See ? I was having a good time surrounded by the handsome and charming colleagues.

and pretty ones!!

Kitty ordered 7 dishes; but she was triggered later on by our giant eating appettite that this portion of food was not enough to feed the 14 of us. We were later added another 3 dishes and on of them is Chicken's favaourite soft shell crabs.

I reminded them about the birthday cake before it ended. Smart me... It was a chocolate melted on cheezy and some choc creamy ingredients. See the name? It is my cake.

Thanks to CCW for the special hand drawn birthday card. I was so stupid not to detect the "I Love You" sentence on the card. Haha.. Kitty and the rest claimed it is there.. only smart people can read it.

Oooh.. Oooh.. Oooh..

I almost hang over due to the work loads. It is a never ending work. I do spend some time everyday to think about the sweet things that occured during the day. Today I have not yet recall any. Sunday was somehow special.. I was out there searching for something to give to her next week. Almost everyone would not be around during the special holiday. I cancelled my plan to take leave because I wanted to be here to settle the work before I depart for Phuket on the week after. Yesterday in the meeting, when my boss asked me to give some updates on synthesis.. I had lined up every details that I wanted to inform the team members. Erm, and when he asked for the last item I want to tell it there, my heart was beating fast. I said; "This is quite important actually, I am going for vacation on WW45.1 and WW45.2, and SJ also won't be around". My boss typed in his meeting notes: Oooh...Ooohh..Oooh... Shit.. It is supposed to be my first official synthesis run. I am really disspointed on the date we booked the vacation plan. It is out of the original schedule because the project schedule is pushed out. Now I just hope that what I wish will come true..

PHUKET, I AM COMING !!!

death

Some one dear of my friend had passed away and the term death click my brain. Therefore, I searched what death means in wikipedia and I got this:

Death is the end of life, the full cessation of vital functions in a biological organism. It is generally considered a permanent state in the field of biology, and all living things are believed to eventually die, whether through natural causes such as disease, or unnatural ones such as accident.

After reading through the small tiny details on how dying process would be and what is it that caused death, I can conclude that death is declared when the electric activity in the brain is ceased. Doctor called it a biological death or brain death.

I always feel terrified to go to funeral because I associate death with ghost or terrible thing. But then the time my grandma passed away, I feel differently. I walked to the coffin and looked at her. I saw her face, I can recognise her kind face but with paler colour. At that time, I feel the warmth in the family rather than scared. I last saw her on Chinese New Year year 2003 if I recalled correctly. She left us on just a few days after chap goh meh. Yeah, she survived till the end of the new year. I feel proud of her because she did not show us any bad sign during our visit. She is a very independent lady and she is the one who brought up all the children, eight of them.

Lantern

I am disspointed after hearing the complicated relationship happens around a friend of mine. Maybe the person whom I feel is a good man isn't that good either. Probably the qualities that he posses makes him feel great. I don't blame on them. Last week was mid autumn festival.. 15th day of 8th month. Anyhow, i feel ok on the festival.

A pair of pink heel for RM39.90

Today I was browsing the friendster page and found out that my darling sister has grown into such a pretty young lady. She posted some MedBall pictures in her photos : http://www.friendster.com/13338269 . I guess her partner does not look ugly either, Kevin boy.. :P I never see him in real person before but from what I see from her pictures, he is a decent guy. Today I had lunch with my ex-eating-mates. But lately we don't see each other so often anymore and my roomie isn't with us. It is all started when I wanted to go buy some groceries. Before reaching Sunshine, I stopped at Kg. Jawa petrol station to pump air into my flatten by 5% tyres. After squatting and wondering around under the hot sun for 10minutes, I was hold back by the weather. No more groceries .. and thus I headed back to my just like heaven room. But then, I realised I have not fill my stomach yet. First thing in my mind is of course them.. therefore I called one of the "W". The important thing I wanted to stress here is I failed. I bought a pair of heels after strolling along the corridor for less than 15 minutes. Maybe today I was supposed to work at home and I was fined RM39.90 for not staying in my room but go out spending. Now I am too tired to continue.. and doze off soon.. chao..

Whisper to my love ones

According to him, I changed a lot. The first thing ping my head is "Am I changing from an ugly duckling into a swan?". Damn.. I don't know I potrait this kind of image. But it is true, something inside me change.. and physically too. Maybe I don't look so kiddy anymore. It is a different stage of life now. I am emerging into the mature lady type. It isn't a bad thing. As he said i look attractive from every different angle. I know he is such a sweet talker, therefore i am ignoring most of his words. Don't let him know this. Haha. Probably yesterday's conversation is the best i had in few months time. He is so attentive to my needs and so caring. How could I resist not to smile the whole day even though my day has not been this tired in previous time. I hope kindness can empowered me a happy life. I understand the people around me treat me well. I appreciate what they have done for me. I am happy for Ling's on her new baby boy, Poh for her wedding next year and my sis for the kicking baby in her stomach and growing. We are all worried for her as she had a little trouble on her new member of the small family. She resigned, I know it was a very hard decision for her as she left what she had gained for working so hard. It is hard for me to get contact with the other one isolated in australia. She is busy there, with her study. I have passed my mommy's message to her today. At last after five years waiting, she got her chance to fix her teeth.. But the lousy goverment is really not doing their job well. It is too far from her now. She can't take the offer anymore as the distance is really a problem. yvonne is having her PMR exam now. I wish she can be calm in all her papers. It is the most important thing. I love her and Hong a lot. I am sorry for forgetting hong's 17th birthday. I did celebrated with her on my last trip home. I treated her japanese lunch with a necklace as the special present. Mom has been keeping stuff bout dad from me. I know she don't want me to worry. But it is really worrying. He fell, but luckily we had the chinese sensei in house now. bro in law is really good in this kind of stuff as his dad is the real traditional sensei. He applied the knowledge he has on dad and the outcome is really superb. Everyone is far away from me, but the connection is still tight. I miss them and I miss the moments at home .. Mommy really loves me ... and so do I..

My watch is fixed!!

It is already more than a week I did not update anything here. Maybe the days were too gloomy and I need time to get used to them. A handful of bliss came from friends held me up during the hard times. I have a lot trainings and meetings lining up the whole week. Even the work loads get more and more everyday. I am exhausted but I have the determination to do my best. I love my job and friends (*almost all). I will not leave them if not being forced to. Yeah...force.. But I am forced along the journey. I smiled to feel better when at the same time, it was such a bitter inside. The penne aren't bad at all. I guess the chef now in her mind marks me as greedy girl who eats a lot. I controlled my appetite when the food is little. As the penne was prepared in a big portion, i decided to finish them at the same time, showed the host my true colours :) Forgive me host and thanks for the warm treatment. I smelled fish in the room today. Maybe it came from outside, probably the toilet. My roomie is in happy state lately.She has returned me the capital I lend to her few weeks back. I feel it is coming back.. :) By the way, the watch which is spoiled some time ago is fixed. A friend brought the watch back to small town Taiping and request the old servant with magnifiying glass to fix the tiny thing. He claimed that the watch component is rusty. I guess it because the watch has no water resistant feature. Probably the rain is the reason to the watch's tragic. Yeah, it has some kind of memory for me.. I keep it because it is a beautiful ticking thing, not because of the memories. It costs me rm58 to fix it, ok? haha..
