My life, a song composed by God

Bring the rain.

2011-11-09T23:50:00.002+08:00

Hope for the best, prepare for the worse.

2011-11-08T23:17:00.002+08:00

No one knows the future,
Where you'll end up in, who you'll grow old with.
Your hands can't hold everything, your mind can't control anyone.
When choices are made and you've tried your very best to savour what is left....

You can only hope for the best and be prepared for the worse.

At least, one thing for sure, you'll never look back with regret!

My best wishes go forth with you, my prayers backing up for you.=)

The Ipoh side family

2011-11-08T00:42:00.001+08:00

Attended my cousin brother's wedding in Ipoh over the weekend with daddy while mummy is happily travelling around Bandung, shopping and having massage.

This trip has been a good trip, I not only get to meet my father side of the family, I met up with daddy's old friends as well.

One of dad's friend, Uncle Lam owns an orphanage with 20+ children near pasir Pinji. We visited the orphanage and the children there are so obedient and polite. Although they don't know us, they talked and played with us like we're their best friends.

Had a good time with Uncle Lam and his family over white coffee.

Next stop was tau fu fa and salted chicken at Ipoh town before heading back to my 4th uncle's house to bathe and get ready for the wedding dinner.

Here's us...and the newly wed.

2nd aunty and me.

Little Han and me, she is my cousin's daughter. 2+,

love to sing and dance but she doesn't smile.

The "brothers" playing games on stage.

Adorable baby witnessing his parents wedding.

The older I get, the more I feel attached to my family in Ipoh...the more I wanna go back to Ipoh and spend more time with them.

I felt that I know too little about my cousins, too little about my uncles and aunties back in Ipoh.

I wanna know more...

I wanna be a bigger part of their life...

I want them to know more about me too!

Just wanna love them more.

The Dream

2011-11-03T14:36:00.001+08:00

I've this long long dream yesterday night.
I dreamt of the night that Boon Chong is going to propose to me.
But I kept dreaming and dreaming but it didnt reach to the proposal.

I force myself to sleep again just to continue the dream.
But again, the proposal part didn't come about and I was awake.

Another gloomy and cold Thursday.
the whole week has been raining and raining...

I like the rain, so no complaint.=)
But glad that I'm still on holiday!!!!

One thing not good about holiday is that I'm still spending money even after Singapore.
Yesterday and today is Jusco member's day..bought my formal clothes, shoes, Bc's clothes which sum up to quite a bit.
Then went to Pasar Malam at night for smelly tou fu, bought mask, magazines, food....

Nothing much to do today, just have to pack for Ipoh trip and yes...I'm looking forward for Ipoh old town white coffee, hor fun, chee cheong fun and the delicious salted chicken!!

=D

Still in love with October

2011-11-02T00:31:00.000+08:00

October has been a great month for me.
Passed CLP, went for interviews and settled down at Skrine.

Celebrated Melissa and Timothy's birthday this month.=)

Attended Ida's wedding, sending her off with full blessings and truly am happy for her!
Being the "sisters" had been fun, met a few new friends along the way too.

Shen graduated this month and she secured a job in Singapore. Half way through to being a Singaporean.lol. Good to see her move on to the next phrase in life and still she being she, still so ridiculously fun to be with!

Bro turns 21 this month. big big boy already!=)

Worked for 2 events this month. First one in Hilton and the whole event team was treated for japanese dinner at Iketeru. Tried Wagyu beef for the very first time.
My 2nd event was at Great Eastern Mall. Although having run to and fro between the event and my interviews, Jenny(the one incharge of the event) was so understanding and encouraging.

One week later, I tried my first Kobe beef experience at Prime-Le Meridien.
Special thanks to Kwong and the "contract" I had with him.Lol.

End of October, nicely wrapped up with my long awaited Singapore trip with Mun and Vera.
Missed the flight and was told that our hotel booking was cancelled. Had the worse day ever on the 1st day but everything else went well on the following 3 days.
Something memorable and definitely something to think back and LMAO in the future!

Hence, I'm still in love with October!

How I wish October can be replayed.

~Sunday in Singapore-shopping at Bugis & roar with The Lion King!~

2011-11-01T16:47:00.001+08:00

MOS rice burger for breakfast at Bugis Junction.

*all smiles*

Me and Mun's rice burgers.

Vera's MOS cheese burger.

Bugis Junction Singapore-very good place to shop.

After shopping in Bugis Junction, we continue our shopping at Bugis street.

Singapore's version of Petaling Street.

And our luggage didn't stop us from shopping!!

The crowd

The food

The shopping...=)=)=)

After Bugis, we met up with Lee San again at Marina station.

Along Marina Bay....

Venezia inspired concept at Marina.

The Lion King musical. Definitely a MUST watch!

Grabbing a quick bite at the Marina foodcourt before the show.

After the show, we went to the Casino.

Mun tried her luck there while, people who has no luck like me went there for their free coffee and look see look see.=P

Snapped more pictures before we leave Marina and head to the airport.

Vera's bollywood post.

Byebye Singapore...

We were again rushing to catch our flight back.

running all the way to our gate after our mee pok dinner with Lee San.=)

This will be an unforgettable trip.
Started off badly, missing the flight and having issues on our hotel booking...but finishes with full fun!

Special thanks to Jenny, Sam, Shen, Jin Yu, Dexter, Wey, Lee San...

And of course, my travel buddy for this trip, Mun and Vera.

After this trip, it's time to get ready for chambering.

9 months trip deprieved.T_T

Universal Studio-Orchard Road-Clarke Quey

2011-11-01T16:23:00.003+08:00

Coincidently bumped into Vera at Vivo City and three of us took the monorail to Universal Studio.

I'm glad the DSLR has arrived so that better pictures can be taken.

Me, ready to have the time of my life in US.

Special thanks to Vera's uncle for the free tickets.=D

Entrance-HOLLYWOOD BABY

Our first show-Madagascar, we like to move it move it dance.

We all LOVE Gloria!

Like a kid!

Vera-the Oscar winner of being the best girlfriend.LOL

In the jungle....the mighty jungle...the lion sleeps tonight...

Chuck Bass's Empire Hotel was destroyed!

Street dance by good looking street dancers.=)

Our OMG roller coaster ride.

Went up crying. came down laughing.

Went up scared, came down satisfied.

Cyclon was the best and the first we went...others are nothing compared to Cyclon!!

Hurricane scene right in front of us.

AWESOME

Get your Poncho ready if you don't wanna get wet.

Welcome to the Splash zone!

Gun shots, fireworks, fire, explosion, action...all right in front of us.

After the show, we made our way to the entrance of the Egyptian Pyramid.

Had another roller coaster ride which goes backward.

Scared my lungs out!!

I've been holding Vera's hands inside because they have mummies too.

Welcome to far far away!!

Guess who we saw in Far Far Away!

And outside Far Far Away, near Madagascar, we saw Shrek's swamp house.

The No1 Shrek fan would be Miss Vera!

The nothing much Jurassic Park.

Probably because we're not a fan of dinosaurs

Hollywood Thetre to catch our last show of the day-R&B musical.

Candylicious treesssssss

Sweet and candies. Chocolates and jelly beans...

We walked around and made our way from Sentosa to Raffles Place where we met up with Lee San.

We're always late and she always have to wait for us.

*Super nice girl!*

We stopped at Somerset station and made our way to Orchard Central.

Supposed to have Japanese food but we're too late and their last call has ended.=(

So we went down to this fusion Jap-Italian restaurant that serves really good pasta!

I've not taste anything like this in KL before.

I LOVE Mun's choice of pasta with sesame sauce.

I'm not a fan of sesame sauce but the pasta goes so perfectly with it.

=D..byebye to Somerset and hello to Orchard!

Thank goodness H&M opens until late 11pm.

We get to sneak in and shop a while.

I didn't get anything but Mun bought a white shirt.

It was very late after Orchard, so we took a cab down to Clarke Quay where the Halloween night has just started and where all the ghosts are out on the streets.

Bloody mummy ghost with her young bloody daughters.

*Snap Snap*

Along the river, the night lights and its reflection on the surface of the river were just amazing.

Despite the loud music in the background and noisy drunkards sitting on the bridge, everything else stopped and freezed for a second when I saw this.

The crowd at Clarke Quay-mostly draculas, ghosts and vampires.

Now, this is something special!

Chinese ghost couple.

The Red Queen team.

Check out the girl wearing a towel.

You can apparently see EVERYTHING you can ever imagine during Halloween night party.

Mun say we should go back next year..

Hmmm..what should we dress up as?

Our harvest today.=)

Ghost are just everywhere, including in Orchard Ion.

~To be continue~

Conquering Singapore zoo and night safari!!=)

2011-11-01T15:31:00.002+08:00

Good morning Singapore!!People are always rushing, even in the early morning.

Jenny brought us to one of their local market place for breakfast.

Sam and Jenny, very nice people whom I met.=)

Mun and me with our fish porridge.

After breakfast, Jenny dropped us at Dakota station and we made our way to Bras station.

Came out from the wrong exit and came across Singapore Art Museum.

While waiting for calls, we took the MRT to Esplanade.

Along Esplanade Bay, we stumbled upon the breathtaking view overlooking Marina Sands, Singapore Flyer and the majestic Merlion.

We then made our way to this particular bus stop located opposite of Rendezvous hotel for the express bus to Singapore zoo.

We're here!!

I'm happy to get a white tiger fluffy keychain as a souvenir.

LET'S GO TO THE ZOO!

The first animal we saw was the cute and adorable cotton top tamarind.

Then it was the proboscis monkey which originated from Borneo-Sabah.

We felt so ashamed when the feeding talk actually addressed the lack of protection provided by the Malaysian government to help and deal with this yet-to-extinct species.

Well, they did not explicitly said Malaysia but everyone knows where they came from.=(

Naked moles.

Some are fat while some are skinny bones.

The map of the zoo.

Way bigger, cleaner and nicer than Zoo Negara.

Then it begin to rain....but no worries, we have PONCHO!!!

Thanks to Jenny again.

Shoppping never ends in Singapore no matter where you are.

The zoo don't only have cute animals, they have cute babies too!

Look at him!

As the pillow talk yesterday night took away most of my sleeping time and due to my inability to sleep on the 1st night of any trip, I need a boost of caffeine.

Ben &Jerry's ice coffee is all I need!

*smile*

They have pretty good shows at the zoo, this is one of them-The Rain Forest Fights Back

Photo session with the animals after the Animal Friends Show!

Lunch at KFC!

I tried Roasta burger for the first time and no more second time for me.

~Splash Safari~

I love this Hippo a lot.

There are 3 white tigers in Singapore zoo, they are named Winnie, Jippie and Omar.

I think this one here is either Winnie/Jippie.

Poor Winnie didn't get to eat at all because the feeder did not throw the meat properly.

AND...WHITE TIGERS ARE NOT ALBINO!

They have rare genes and they all came from one ancestor-Mohan

The baboon kingdom, as you can see, they are having some sort of family discussion or something.lol

And....they are good in making babies!

Instantaneously

Night Safari!!!

Festival of lights deco in conjuction with Deepavali.

The firy show at the entrance.

All of us at the night safari.

The night ended with a long journey back by bus and train to Joo Chiat.

2nd night ended with no pillow talk at all because we're just too exhausted to talk anymore.

Took bathe, packed a bit, write down our expenses and...ZZZZZzzzz

Singapore- the unforgettable 27/10/11

2011-11-01T14:51:00.001+08:00

The plane that left without us.T_T

Luckily we managed to catch the next plane at 2.30pm to Singapore. Of course, we need to pay more.=(

2 boarding pass to get to 1 destination.

Mistake/luck?

I think it's both.

Jenny and Sam met us at the airport and brought us for some local mee pok and coffee.

Felt so sorry to let them wait because the flight was delayed.

After checking in, we took a quick bathe and hurried to Clementi to meet up with Shen, Jin Yu and Wey.

Shen brought us to a restaurant that serves good 'tai chao'.

Taste good but we can get better ones in KL.

What do you expect?

It's Singapore.=P

The tourists insisted to take picture at the fountain.

And here's Wey!

After dinner, we went back to Joo Chiat and had a long pillow talk before we sleep.

Waking up the next morning feeling extremely tired but we still managed to take down the whole zoo and night safari the next day!

~to be continue~

L.I.M.I.T

2011-10-25T00:34:00.000+08:00

You reached my limit of tolerance.

I've tried enough.

Never felt like this before

2011-10-21T14:59:00.001+08:00

Life is filled with emotions.
Today, I felt a new emotion that I've not felt before, not for the past 24 years of my life.
The intense waiting, the numerous "sighs", the lost of appetite to eat, the nervousness.....
I can't stop checking my mail and staring at my phone just to see whether I miss a call.
So not Amy Tan today.
Someone who don't bother picking up calls or replying text, today she kept checking her phone.
Someone who don't log into her mail and always has her mailbox flooded, today she's checking her mail every 15 minutes.
This feeling of insecurity, thinking that she will soon face rejection because she is not good enough.

Rejection is not a good feeling.
But...
Sometimes, somethings are best to surrender to God.
As long as I've given my best, there's nothing more that I can do about it.

Father, not mine but your will be done.
I'll go to where you'll lead me.
I've told you my dreams, my heart and my desire.
At the end of the day, you are still the composer of my life.

To you I surrender.

Told you I love October.

2011-10-11T18:13:00.001+08:00

What's coming up next???

My first ever french fine dining experience on Thursday night.

Interview on Friday!!

Ida's wedding buffet dinner on Friday night.

Ida's wedding on Saturday, whole morning and night. (Jien's birthday as well)

Brother's 21st Birthday celebration on Sunday.

Next week-another event job at Great Eastern Mall.=)and more interviews!

Then comes Deepavali and the long awaited Singapore trip with Mun and Vera.
Looking forward for Lion King musical show, Universal Studio, Zoo & night safari, Marina Sands, Sentosa Island, the new H&M store!!!...And meeting up with bestie Li-Shen dearest!!Not forgetting Tony Roma pork ribs and perhapsssss more shopping!

I'm falling in L.O.V.E with October

The song that brought tears to my eyes last Sunday morning

2011-10-11T01:17:00.000+08:00

The Hilton working experience

2011-10-11T01:09:00.000+08:00

Stayed 3 nights in Deluxe+, room 2209 with Natalie.

I was literally jumping for joy when I saw the bathtub.=P

For 2 nights, I was watching TV in the mirror while soaking in the bathtub overlooking the night view of KL central. *now, this is what I sign up for*

The view from the toilet.

My lunch box during the lunch symposium.=)

there's always plenty of food food food while working.

That's why I'm 50kg now!!

Ballroom B while the conference is going on.

Hilton-where plums are as big as apples.

Snacking on grapes and berries during tea time.yummy and healthy!!

First event job working with my little brother.=)

Ivan at 6th floor-poolside.

The last night, the whole event team were treated to Iketeru, a fine dining japanese restaurant located at the 6th floor.

This is our appetizer.

Salmon skin sushi roll.

More and more sushi...

Raw Saba fish. This taste really really good. RM90/plate

Tempura.

Lisa and Rachel.=)

My very first Wagyu Beef experience.

Taste like heaven!!!

Me and Natalie!

Crazy moments captured!

This is probably after a few rounds of sake.

The meal was nicely ended with black sesame ice-cream.

Hilton's pool that links to Le Meredien's.

Wet lab where I witness heart surgeons dissecting pig hearts right in front of me.

Overheard

2011-10-02T18:33:00.000+08:00

That very night, I overheard something that bothers me.
It makes me felt so small and powerless because I'm not in any position to change anything. I felt incapable and a little frustrated on myself.
Although I can't change the way you think, or the way you're acting but everything happens for a reason. If I could accept the fact and adjust myself into our situation, why are you still feeling so uncontented?
And if you do feel this way, why are you not doing anything to fix it and allow yourself to continue on this self destruction?

I know I should not ask why because I'll never find the answer.
But what I truly wish is to give you a good life and make you happy.
All I want is for you to be happy and I'll try my very best to make sure that you are.
What I overheard broke my heart and I have to pretend I did not hear anything because I do not want to voice out and hurt you again.

I hope you'll see the pressure you bestow on the people around you.
Yet everyone wants the same as me, everyone wants to make you happy.

So please, be happy because your smile is what drives me on.
Your smile has a way to tell me that I can do better.

Your dreams I know, and they're in my heart.
Each of them!
I WILL make your dreams come true.

But not yet, not now.

October

2011-09-29T19:19:00.000+08:00

Extremely eager for October to arrive.

But before that, tons of things to settle before October comes.

Goodbye!

2011-09-21T02:34:00.000+08:00

I've been a little off my own limit tonight.
Thank goodness I'm not driving.
The feeling was not a pleasant one, a little too much to bear.

No more next time!
Should have stop and draw the line.

Goodbye CH3COOH!
Go far far away because without you, my life is better off!!

That's how it is

2011-09-20T02:27:00.000+08:00

Check out what I've found.

http://runwitme.blogspot.com/2011/08/two-malaysians-wins-opportunity-to-meet.html

A blog that mentioned me (Tan Yan Ee) as the 3rd fastest runner for the Puma challenge finale and claimed that I received RM200 gift voucher for Puma products.

In fact, no one contacted me about the prize!!

Felt so cheated for a second.

Me, on the day of the challenge.

The winner-the fastest female!

Me, coming in 3rd.

And the fastest male and female fly to Korea.

Who cares if you're 2nd or 3rd or 4th....

Only the one who came in 1st matters!

Got your UPSR/PMR/SPM/STPM results, people ask how many As?

Nobody cares about the Bs.

Oh...1A 9Bs = Very very bad,only 1A..poor kid!

9As 1F = Thats fantastic, 9 As!!And everyone forgets about the F.

That's how it is.

Hardest lesson to learn

2011-09-19T23:53:00.000+08:00

The hardest lesson to learn is probably to accept the differences in others and love them just the same.

"Love thy neighbour as thy self"

Jesus did it, and I will try my very best to do it as well.

When can I succeed?
I don't know because I might have to keep trying my entire life.

Trying something new

2011-09-19T23:40:00.002+08:00

I woke up at 2pm-sent my laptop to the repair shop-tea time with daddy at old town-jog-dinner-grocery shopping with mummy-drama.

Highlight of the day is this pore refining gel I bought from Watson which cost RM36.80.

It's a pore refining night gel (best for lazy people like me) and since I have a problem having rather big pores on my nose and chin, I'll give this Taiwanese brand a try!

Hope it's effective

Public hoilday and he is away.

2011-09-16T15:04:00.001+08:00

For the past half a year, public holidays are days when I spend time with Boon Chong but today, he is away for a short team building trip to Gopeng.
I thought I could spend sometime with my family since it's my mum's birthday today but they left while I was still sleeping.=(
So I'm left with nothing to do at home and if you think waking up at 2pm is unbelievable, let me tell you this, it's 3pm now and my brother is still sleeping!!

We celebrated my mum's and aunt Jackie's birthday yesterdayat TTDI, had a great time with my family!
I actually bought 8 packets of candles but we've only used up 2 packets.Jo Han was more keen playing the Iphone than lighting up candles with me.

After celebrating my mum's birthday, I rushed to Bangsar for Randy's birthday. Another year older and wiser!
I need to say that I truly cherish all my friends I met in BAC. These years we've been together, although I have some closer ones to me but I treasure all of them in my heart and hope that our friendship will last forever!=)

Boredom

2011-09-06T15:52:00.000+08:00

More than a month has passed and I'm beginning to feel bored.
The excitement and holiday mood slowly fade away and now I find myself dying to work, atleast to do something and keep myself occupied.

Who would be so kind to hire me for a month?

Patience

2011-09-06T01:06:00.000+08:00

There's too many constraints in my life.
I need to have patience.

Now is not the time...not yet!

Counting blessings

2011-08-19T16:11:00.001+08:00

Just came back from Uptown, had Village Park nasi lemak for lunch and am now planning for the trip tomorrow.
Can't wait to drink Ipoh white coffee tomorrow, looking forward and hope tomorrow comes faster!!

Brother won himself Ipad 2 from the Halls contest, unbelievable right?
Can't deny the power of prayer.
Finally, first apple product in my family and we got it totally FREEEEEE!!
I prayed for Ipod touch but we got Ipad. *amazing*

Delight in the Lord always and he will give you the desire of your heart, sometimes, even better.=D

Going to Youth CG tonight.
So much to share with the youth.

As easy as drinking water

2011-08-19T04:36:00.001+08:00

Yet another good book to share, unlike Nicholas Sparks "The Wedding" where flowery love and romantic stories come to life, "As easy as drinking water" is a life touching non-fiction life experience of one named Afshin Javid, a Iranian who flee Iran and a muslim who was converted to become a Christian by...Jesus Christ!How amazing is that?

The book helped me reflect my spiritual life and growth in Christ, and I read this book not out of convenience but after a prayer at Permaisuri park.

Remember how I like to go jogging at Permaisuri? There's a secret to it actually. I like going jogging alone, because jogging is my "me-time", a time for me to relfect upon my life and a time to strengthen up, it kept my mind focus on my goals and dreams in life, and contributed a great part in the successes of my life in these few years.

After my jog, I would sit on one of the bench facing the lake, closed my eyes and pray. Sometimes, I just speak to God as if I was talking to a friend. I genereously would invite alot of stares from the people jogging there , but usually the stares would not affect me.

I did 2 and a half rounds at Permaisuri today, the last half was to burn that extra calories from Tioman trip.
Then I walked slowly, eyeing on an empty bench to sit. There were a lot of people at the park today, mostly Malays as there was a Ramadhan food bazaar there and they bought the food, sat on the benches, awaiting buka puasa.

I finally found an empty bench just facing the fountain, sat down and started praying.
After CLP, I've spent my time having fun, going out, yumcha was ending, shopped, and shopped more...and trips..
So, I prayed for forgiveness and seek for God's direction.

When I reached home, something urged me to read the book "as easy as drinking water" which Jolene borrowed me 2 weeks ago. I knew it was a good book but didn't expect to read it continuously for 4 hours, finishing it in one go and the book speaks to me.

There are 3 parts in the book that impacted me instantly, to write those parts in full would required perhaps longer hours, so I would like to share summarily what I've learnt.

Sometimes, things do not go our way, our way that we claim to be the best way and we tend to question God.."Why God?Why this?Why me?" Often we forgot that we are only soldiers and those are management decisions by God himself, in His way that we could never understand. Sometimes, it takes years for us to realize that His way is the best way, sometimes it takes a lifetime to realize. But His itinerary is always a better one, and if we forego our plans and follow His instead, we would be surprised as to how abundance his plans are for us.
So to those who are facing disappointment and difficulties, know that the situation you're in is not necessary a bad one, because it might very well be a doorway that leads to something far more greater!!Will have you in my prayers.

There was a sentence that again impacted me. So simply yet so powerful.
"Problem, I have a big God."is what I'll say when put into hardship, rather than "God, I have a big problem"
I often forgotten how Almighty my heavenly father is, and how He loved me as He has always loved me.

I guess the greatest blessing I have is the great contentment I often felt, and how appreciative I am towards the little things that I have. And how easily I could forgive someone who did me wrong, just like that.
I also have a giving heart. When I was younger, my generiosity was much greater. I remember buying subway for beggers on the street. Instead of giving them money, I gave them subway for lunch. I have no idea whether they are at all grateful. To me, money is just something that I could find again in the future, my parents taught me that when you help, dont expect anything in return.
That has always been my attitude in terms of helping others financially.

These blessing have lead me to become a very happy girl who laugh over silly jokes, and smile over good food and simple things in life that makes it so colourful and beautiful.

But though I'm contended, my dreams are big, and I know that as long as I commit my dreams to God, and make God the centre of my dreams, my dreams will come true. And one day, I'll be that eagle He wants me to be.

Believing in Jesus is as easy as drinking water, easier to be precise.
As long as you're willing to open your heart to Jesus, he is willing to use you for His kingdom and His glory.

Have me in your prayers as you read this because I'm seeking His will in my life.
I'm searching for His calling, I'm yet to know the purpose of my existence.
Pray too that I could overcome the weaknesses in me, being the greatest is my hot temperness and overwhelming ego.
Pray that God will not only use my goodness but to mould my weaknesses into something good enough to be used in His ministry.

So that in all I do,
Glory be to my Lord.

Random thoughts

2011-08-11T15:32:00.002+08:00

Again...spent hours watching Korean Drama and it's true that most of the Korean artists had gone through plastic surgery.
The perfection of their eyes, their straight and high nose, their seductive lips, their slander body and those sexy boobs.
Is beauty so desirable that you'll spent bucks and bucks, going through that intense pain to get prettier?
What if all women in the future goes through plastic surgery, and all get that perfect look? Wouldn't they all look the same?
Then you'll get texts like "Hey, I saw you the other day at the mall!"
And you'll reply "Oh that's not me, that's just some other girls that happened to choose the same eyes,nose, and lips as me."

Visited Karen again today, made her my favourite Aglio Olio spaghetti. She likes it and said it was better than the previous one.
Spent 2 hours there and headed home.
I am now stuffing myself with Guilinggao because I felt that my body is quite "heaty"

Don't wanna fall sick in Tioman!!

The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks

2011-08-10T23:17:00.003+08:00

I spent the whole night reading "The Wedding" by Nicholas Sparks until 6 in the morning. The novel was very addictive and I was hooked to it without knowing how time flies.
When I read a good book, it's as though I was living the scene in the book and I could feel the emotions flowing in, my eyes are full of tears but they didn't flow out.
I find myself holding back my tears as I read from chapter to chapter, relating the characters in the novel to myself and Boon Chong.
The story was about Wilson and Jane (Noah & Allie's daughter-from the Notebook) whose marriage was 30 years and when their children moved out from the house, leaving only the both of them, Jane felt as though there wasn't any more love between them.
Wilson was an estate lawyer who spent most of his time in the office and often take Jane for granted, not because he doesn't love her anymore but he is a workaholic in nature and he believes about working hard to provide for the family.
When Wilson could no longer felt that same affection from Jane, he decided to court her wife all over again.
Highly recommended book if you're into love stories.=)
The next book I'm gonna buy is "The Guardian".

I was incharged of dinner tonight and it's my first time cooking chinese for my family and Boon Chong.
Pressure was on, and I was hoping that everything would be smooth.
Browsing through the rack of vegetables, the only one that caught my eyes was the dark purple eggplant that was so outstanding among the other green vegetable. So I grabbed 2 eggplants and some long beans, dumbed it into my cart and went to buy taufu and mushrooms.

The bill came out to RM49.50 and I was just astonished at how costly a simple meal could cost.
When I reached home, I wasted no time and started preparing dinner when it was 4pm.
I took my own sweet time, washing the vegetable, peeling off the potatoes, slicing the mushrooms....and enjoyed the smell of each ingredient I bought.
I boilt the soup first, putting all the mushrooms and fish cake into it, next came the seaweed and taufu...yummy.
Next was seasoning the Salmon.
Then it was the cheese and the chillies...

I prepared everything by 5.30pm and took a short nap with both my hands smelling with strong pungent garlic.
Next thing I know, it was 6.30pm and it's time to cook!
I did the minced beef with potatoes, cherry tomatoes and cheese first, followed by baking the salmon. While the salmon was in the oven, I fried the eggplants and long beans with Belacan, garlic, cili padi and fish paste sauce.
Next was eggs with chinese sausage and lastly, I heated up the soup I made earlier on.

When dinner was served, I was the first one who digged in and tried each and every dish, making sure it was edible.
Well, it turned out that all the dishes were good.=)
Dinner was filled with chit chats about Tioman trip, I could see that everyone, including BC is looking forward for the trip and finally some time away from the busy KL.
I was the most pleased one at the table, proud to have compliments about my dishes, although mummy said my vegetable dish wasn't up to her standard.
What I was amazed is how pleased mummy was to see food on the table when she's back.I should help out more in the kitchen because I know she must be very tired having to do dinner even after the long hours at work.
Time for me to take over every now and then.

After dinner, I submerged myself into Bc's chest and watched TV together.
He lingered around until 9pm and headed home.
I missed him already when he was wearing his shoes and was about to leave.
Wanted to tell him that I think he looks amazing today with his working shirt.

I spent most of my time in the kitchen today.
Cooking is not really my favourite but when you see people enjoying your cooking, I think that is when you wanna cook more...just to see the smiles and satisfaction on people whom you love.

Back to my blog

2011-08-08T01:46:00.000+08:00

It has been so long since I last blogged, not because I don't want to but simply because I prohibit myself from blogging until I fnishes my CLP examination.
I had to stop for a minute or two to figure out my e-mail and password before I could enter into my blog dashboard.=P.

Now that CLP is done, I would like to share about the experience I had during exam.
Usually, I drank coffee almost everyday but this time I substituted coffee with my daddy's chinese tea which works even better. I think coffee do not help me completely, it just keeps me awake when I'm sleepy. Drinking coffee seems to transit the wave to my brain that it's time to get serious and study. It's more like a kick start catalyst paired with what called the placebo effect.

The paper that I worried the most was Civil, which happens to be my first paper and I was so relieved after Civil was done. Spent the longest time studying for Civil and thank God it paid off. I think the most stressful moment was 2 days before the exam, when I find myself holding back my tears because everything seems to tell me that I'm NOT ready for CLP at all. I remembered walking into my brother's room and politely asked him whether I could cry infront of him for a while. But he was so tired after his work, guess he had no time to hear my cry and comfort me, so he turned me down. As an alternative, I went straight to the toilet and let my tears flow....
Asked God for guidance and help with my knees on the toilet floor...

Besides Civil, PP was the second bulk killer. 5 subjects in 1 paper-2 days time!
Seriously PP was my 4th paper and I kinda self declared MERDEKA after PP which will explains why I did badly for my last paper-Evidence.=P

To cut the story short, above all, I'm VERY VERY glad that it's done!!

When it's time to study

2011-06-06T21:34:00.000+08:00

When you set your heart to study,
The phone rings a few times and next thing you know, you have your whole week filled with gatherings, dinner and yumcha session.
Wednesday night, I'm going out for dinner with Boon Lim and 2nd round with my high school SBS mates.
Friday night meeting up with ex colleagues and oh yes, I always look forward to meet miss Ida Ng.
Saturday night, I'll be attending brother Amos's wedding dinner with Boon Chong and sunday, I have to replace my brother in his work at Low Yat because he's song leading in church.

Maybe I should just switch off my hp and stay away from FB next week.

Really....really need to kurung diri and study.
If not, I'll be seeing Mr Sukhdave again......NOOOOOOOOO...

Darling's 24th Birthday

2011-06-05T23:51:00.002+08:00

I celebrated Bc's 24th birthday last sunday (a week ago) and here are the pictures.

I hope that Bc will have countless birthdays to come and I will be celebrating with him every year until we're too old to celebrate.

I love you Boon Chong,

for everything that you are and everything that you made me become.

Lunch at Levain.

Spotted an oil painting in Levain.

I want this in my living room!

Dearest and his beef lasagna.

One of the best we tried.=)

Starting the day afresh with orange juice.

Not so worth the price I paid, you can see how diluted it was.

I had creamy mushroom spaghetti.

After lunch, we headed to Pavilion and wanted to watch Kungfu Panda but the tickets were all sold out!

We then went to Berjaya Times Square, hoping to get tickets there but it was all sold as well.

If you can't get tickets in Time Square, you can forget about other GSC cinemas.

Since we're so free, we headed earlier to Leonardo's.

Reached there around 5.30pm and we're the first 2 customers of the night.

Located at Bangsar's housing area, this is a restaurant away from the crowded and congested Jalan Telawi.

Besides Leonardo's, there are a few posh restaurants and tea places along the same roll of shop houses.

Leonardo's dining room and wine loft.

A fine dining concept restaurant and Leonardo Da Vinci inspired.

FYI, this place is owned by a lawyer.

Service there was fantastic-maybe because there's only 2 of us there.

But still, 5 star services with fine food...will definitely re-visited Leonardo's.

Amy and Ramjit's Pasta-recommended by Sharmane.

The ambiance of the restaurant.

Dark maroon curtains and brick walls..

Darling enjoying his dinner.

Mamma Mia pizza.

Very crispy thin crust with raw beef and vege.

Extraordinary!

After our early dinner, we went to KLCC and wanted to visit Aquaria.

But we were late and it was closed.

Heavy hearted walked around KLCC for a while and headed back to our own sweet home.

Actual day-30/05/11.

Celebrated his birthday in his house.

Specially made an oreo cheese cake for him that turned out not so much of a cake but a pudding instead.LOL.

Still, I'm sure he did finished all of it.=)

24 years ago, God created this special person for me.

Although I took things for granted and screw up in the past, he still forgives me, accept me and believes in me all these years.

I can't express how grateful I am to have a soulmate like you.

Our relationship is beyond love and I fall for you whole heartedly!!

Night out with primary mates and lovely Angelyn

2011-06-05T23:22:00.000+08:00

New 24 hours dim sum and cafe located near Yu Lek and Midah.

Rating: 6/10

Ceiling fan that looks like a flower.

Little Angelyn and Aunty Amy.

Cute and Adorable.

Angelyn and Grandpa Chong.

Kascy and me with our slimming flower tea.

Single and available Lawrence.

Enjoyable night out with my primary mates, I spent most of my time playing with Angelyn and kinda neglected all the rest of my friends. =P

She is too adorable, I taught her eyes, nose, face, tongue and ears (in Mandarin) and within she learnt within 10 minutes. Her mummy was shocked that she learnt so fast.Haha...thanks to Aunty cum Teacher Amy huh!

Full & frank-Miss Kong

2011-06-01T23:20:00.003+08:00

Today is Mun's birthday and I would like to dedicate this blog post to her.
Title: FULL AND FRANK about Miss Kong Ee Mun.

First time when I saw her, it was at the bus stop while I was waiting for the bus together with my high school friend-Pau Kee.
First impression-This girl is really cute and petite, she looks like Form 2 pupil and she got that snobbish SBU look. Hey, why is she staring at my friend?

Then I went to Kasturi for trial tuition, there Ee Mun was, right infront with her loud and clear voice, debating with the literature teacher.

Then I never see her again until Form 6.
In Form 6, we were from different class so we're not close at all but what draw us together is my bf-Boon Chong who happens to sit beside her. He tells me stories about Ee Mun all the time, but I still wasn't close to her.

We join choir together, went for outings together, but somehow still not very close.

Then, after Form 6, we went to BAC together. That was the time we really bonded.
We stayed so close to each other that we car pool all the time, and because we car pool, we'll do a lot of things together.
We went for Matta fair, PC fair, Beauty expo, Seventeen casting......we did all the fun things together.
When her friends are down to town, we'll hang out together too. I remember waking up very early in the morning just to queue up to buy tickets to walk across the KLCC sky bridge.LOL..

There are a lot of first times-like first time to the club together, 1st time drinking flaming lamboughini, 1st time dressing up to prom together....my college stories are full of Kong Ee Mun...she wrapped up the whole front cover of my college life.

Of course, friendship are like relationship, it has ups and downs too.
We then started Ultimate Dazzle together with Ai Ling.
That was when the saying "Don't work with your friends because you'll risk the friendship" comes into reality.
We argued, we disagree, we found out that there is so many differences in the way we work.
Then I distance myself away, to leave before the wound gets deeper and deeper.
To the point in time, I actually believe that the friendship will never be the same again.
Although in my heart, I wanted things to be back as it was....when there was laughter and jokes and good good memories...I was just like everyone else-proud and unwilling to take the first move-to say "Hey, lets start it over!"

Kong Ee Mun, as I said is the front cover of my college life, because when I was happy, she's there, when I was sad, she is also there!
I once broke up with my bf and I was devastated, there she was, spent the whole day with me going shopping at The Curve and we even sign up gym together, spontaneously committed one year membership in California Fitness.LOL!

Back to the friendship part, I honestly believe that me and Kong Ee Mun will never be the same again.
There was a period of time when both of us rarely talk to each other.
The feeling was really bad and uncomfortable.

But I was so damn wrong...
One fine day, she posted a post in her blog about me and her appreciation towards our friendship.
And I was so touched, the happiness is indescribable.
The feeling of what is lost is now found.
I was eagered for the friendship to grow again.

And it did, until today....still growing.
Even better than last time.It bounched back much higher.

I think I can find no one else like Kong Ee Mun because she is unique and she is a true friend of mine.
A friend that doesn't mind sharing, always protecting, tries her best to help and most importantly, a friend that loves me for who I am.

Although me and Ee Mun have a lot of differences, but we learn to accept each other and I know and I'm sure that Kong Ee Mun will not only be on the front cover of my college life, but in every part of my life.

Happy Birthday Ee Mun.
Thanks for everything and I'm truly very glad to have you as a friend.

Only time can heal

2011-06-01T22:35:00.000+08:00

When it's gone and all that is left are memories of the past,
Only time can heal and life continues in a way that it gives you strength to carry on.
The lost lullaby, the unspoken stories...
Those giggles and snuggles that were so genuine are now but rusty metals

Fights and quarrels, the ups and downs,
When the line is drawn, everything falls...
The smile that melts the heart, the voice that calms the soul,
Is seen no more, is heard no more

Time spent in years, all crumbled and gone to waste,
Gratitude is lost, for the years have blinded the eyes and deceived the heart
How many can survive the reality of time and lies..
The father of lies is none other than the voice within

Sorrow is best described as the cure to the poisonous tale
When the heart and mind join, the wake before the grave..
One step forward to death, a step backward to life
The legs are numb, indecisive.

He choose to step forward
And she too follows...
To death they went, and life is lost.

And now, only time can heal...

What is lost is lost.

Forgetful

2011-05-26T23:09:00.000+08:00

My goodness, I'm so forgetful and I hate myself for that.
Amos texted my last sunday asking me to help him ask for attendance for his wedding from members in GBC.
I pass the list to my mother and totally forgotten to get back to him.
Until just now, it suddenly came to me.

I felt so irresponsible!!
ARGHHHHHH...
How on earth can I forget??

Geramnya.

I hope that I'll stop being so forgetful.
Especially when it comes to responsibility given to me.

2 months away

2011-05-24T00:54:00.000+08:00

After dinner yesterday night with Shen and my VI friends,

today was a movie night with them.

With all the hoo-haa about Viva, we decided to give MBO Viva a try and turn out the cinema is not bad-boleh tahan lahhh..

No need to worry that tickets will be sold out, no queue, no hassle.

Went to Kuzo for japanese food because Shen is craving for jap food. Typical foodie.

Bad choice though.

Please DO NOT GO THERE!!

SERVICE IS BAD
FOOD IS VERY PRICY

Jin Yu looks happy after being kissed.

Fattening pop-corn!!

2nd round, we went to Jalan Imbi for porridge, it was suggested by Phon and Len Yi.

The restaurant is Onn Kee but I still prefer the RHB bank porridge.=)

Okie...now I'm craving for RHB bank porridge!

Life is beautiful

2011-05-13T01:22:00.000+08:00

I went jogging last few days, and I saw droganflies and butterflies pairing in two.
At that moment, I think that life is beautiful.

I see how many different kind of friends with distinct characters that I have.
Some may have beliefs and point of view that totally differs from mine but yet we can still accept each other and appreciate the friendship that draws two very different people together, I think that life is beautiful.

My church member-Alvin Yap's wife just gave birth to a baby boy and this new life reminds me that life is beautiful.

Home at last

2011-05-08T23:22:00.000+08:00

After 6 continuous working days, being sleep deprieved and being required to be alert and efficient for more 12 hours in a day,
tomorrow is a day to recharged and relax.

I'm beyond happy to be home at last and I missed my bed a lot, more than I miss my bf.

Home at last with a lot of laundry to do. Mum and Dad are now in Ipoh, a trip back to visit my 3rd aunty. I heard she's doing better and now currently on chinese medicine. Glad to know that and really hope God will show Mercy on her.

Celebrated Mother's Day at Bc's house just now, bought Aunty a pandan cake from Mon Cherrie and the cake comes with a complimentary carnation. Bc's aunty and her whole family were there too, which made the house even merrier. And around 9am, Bc's another aunty came, so you can imagine how crowded the house was.=)

As for my mum, I finally got her a longchamp bag.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY everyone.

And I'm gonna stop blogging so much.

Long awaited monday

2011-05-02T01:18:00.000+08:00

Class today was so long....CPC was okie because the mind is still fresh and going, but when it's Sukhdave's class for CP, every 5 minutes seems like half an hour. I was so tempted to go home during the break but I did not drive to college today and Bc is picking me up after class, so I reluctantly stayed. Jo left after 1pm and Zhin Theng left after the 2nd break during Sukhdave's class...leaving me alone at the back..but it was quite a view from the back, I saw people kissing in class today!!Just what I need to kill my boredom.

Luckily, Sukhdave let us go earlier today, we ended CP class around 6pm but then I have to wait for Bc to come.
It was raining very heavily when the class ends, and by the time Bc reached college, the rain was so heavy that our jeans & shoes were all soaked with rain water. I went in the car freezing.

The jam was terrible today and Bc went home to change a clean pair of jeans & shirt before we head to Desa Park City.

Once we arrived, we're greeted by Uncle Chong with my all time favourite lime magarita, specially made by my chef-to-be cousin brother Adrian. It was refreshing and kinda turn my bad day to an awesome one just by the first sip.
Greeted all my uncles & aunties, even my brother's gf was there today.=)
Today's gathering was just a random one, no special occassion whatsoever, just that IKAR is closed tomorrow and Uncle Chong thinks that it's a perfect time to throw a makan feast since the next day, everyone is off work.

We had Mee Bandung for dinner, the soup was boiled and there were variety of different ingredients on the dining table, you can choose what type of noodles you want and what type of ingredients you wanna have in your mee bandung. So, it's like "Mee Bandung, Your Style, Your Way!!" Things will never go wrong when a chef throws a makan fiesta!

I would say it's more like a dessert fiesta to me, everyone else (the other uncles & aunties) all brought desserts and come.
We had this really good Durian cake-as if you're eating durian itself and Big Apple donuts. Not fogetting egg tarts & Siew Pau too...+ free flow of magarita whole evening.*all smiles*

As usual, the girl cousins grouped up in the room while the bfs were left outside.=P..we only chatted for a while and started playing TABOO...Karen's long awaited game!!

But these all did not make my day,
What made my day today was a treat of McMuffin for breakfast in the morning!!
Thanks Jolene Loh.

Tomorrow is a long awaited day because I'm going out with Bc.
Why is it so precious?
Because it's so hard to find time to spend with each other now adays.
I used to have saturday mornings & sunday evening for us but now, I don't...thanks to CLP.
And...it's a free day in which 6 whole working days follows.

Ya...I'm working for an event-Li Shen mom's company for 6 whole days at KL Convention Centre.
Not so much for the money but a favour to aunty Lisa.

Tomorrow will be a good day, I'm sure.

Mustard Yellow & Gossips

2011-04-30T01:38:00.000+08:00

I have to confess that my favourite colour now is Mustard Yellow.
If I have some income, I'll love to get that mustard yellow bag form Vincci and that lovely mustard yellow moccasin from Tods.
But I don't have income, so.....those 'wanna have" have to go into my wish list and wait for the day I get my pay cheque from ICEM.

I went out with my friends today and I feel that Frontier has too much gossips.
Such a small company but so so much gossips.
How can a company of less than 15 people have so much gossips??
To be honest, no matter where we go, small company or big company, there will be politics.
The question is :"How to stay away from it?"
Some make it seems like a predator and prey national geographic channel, you don't kill, you'll starve to death.
Some say that it's the survival of the fittest.
Bc say it's human nature.

Again, if Frontier is such a dangerous forest, how come I don't feel like that in the 6 months that I worked in Frontier?
Am I just lucky or am I being ignorant?

Don't talk about company, even in class, there's too much of gossips going around.

Can you dislike someone if you don't even know that person?
YES you can.

But....what's the point?

Wendy's 24th b'day celebration

2011-04-30T01:04:00.002+08:00

Havent seen them for a few months and there's just too much to update.

Worst night ever.

2011-04-29T12:23:00.000+08:00

Yesterday night, I had this terrible FUNG MOK all over my body.
The itchiness is unbearable.
I went to the toilet to wash my body twice but it didn't help.

And it was pouring yesterday night around 2am, making my FUNG MOK worse.
It was everywhere on my body, even my face.

I woke up this morning having red patches everywhere.

If I had not eaten that bowl of seafood noodle.....=(

At the cross

Good Friday

2011-04-22T15:06:00.001+08:00

Today is a very meaningful day to us Christian and it is more meaningful than Christmas.
Today is the day to remember God's sacrificial love for us and the day where he died so that we may live.
A day of reflection and repentance.=)

I think the hardest part of being a Christian is to Fear God and be imitator of Christ.
We are imperfect but yet He still choose to love us, we are unworthy but yet he is merciful.

Only through him that the righteous stand and the wicked falls.
Yet each act leads to its own punishment, at the day of judgment.

Be firm and be strong by the strength given from above.

Lastly, love for He loves, forgives for He forgives.

Tick tock

2011-04-21T02:29:00.002+08:00

Tick tock on the clock...
Revision is starting soon and I'm far from being prepared for CLP.
Errands to run tomorrow, and hopefully my brain still could work in top gear tomorrow in the library.

Firstly, I need to be able to wake up early and get going tomorrow.
Mum nags about Hazel Mazel and CLP, and how HM will affect my CLP...I guess she is over worried about me. Like I say, the greatest concern to her is that I WILL STUDY UNTIL I GO CRAZY. Love you mum for all your concerns but I'm a stubborn head that still will go on to do what I believe is beneficial.

Will HM affect my CLP?
It will if I allow it to.
It won't if I don't allow it to.

Everything is in the mind and nothing is impossible.
You will only be affected if you allow it to, and it's meaningless to get affected for the wrong reasons.

So yeah...bring it on!

Fly...Amy..Fly

2011-04-20T13:10:00.004+08:00

I had the best dream yesterday night!
I dreamt that I could fly and I was as though in the movie "King Arthur". In the dream, I was one of the heroin which managed to escape the arrest of the evil magicians while all my other friends were held captive in the magician's tower.
During the arrest, I was at home with my friends and family, even BC was in my dream.haha.then when the magicians came, I hid on top of the roof, that was when I realised that I could fly.
I then flew to King Arthur to tell him what happened and there was a lovely princess which is Arthur's lover that gave birth to a lovely prince.

The feeling of flying is fantastic, but of course it's not realistic at all.

Then the dream ended and another dream started, I was working in this company and the first day of my job, I was assigned to learn from Ian Wright-the tea maker of the company. In my dream, I was like "This company hired Ian Wright to make tea?They must be paying him very well for him to fore go his hosting occupation."

Then during my work, Angie was my colleague but I felt asleep during work and when I was sleeping, the dream switched back to King Arthur, where I continue to fight with the magicians to rescue my family and friends.

Of course we succeeded in the rescue and the country was back to peace, all the evil magicians were chased out of the country and everyone shouted :"Hail, King Arthur!"

That was when the happy bubble pops, I woke up *still in my dream* and my boss (he is a tall mat salleh) told me that I was fired because I slept during working hours.WTH?

Still, I hope to have more dreams of flying.=)

Gonna go library soon
And CPC refresher tutorial at night.

The smell of paddy

2011-04-19T00:41:00.000+08:00

I'm not a super duple fan of Jay Chou but I admire his talent in music, his personality and his eagerness to create songs that will last through generations.
This is one of my favourite song which titled-the smell of paddy. This song teaches us to be contented and to always appreciate people around us.
Going back to the basic in life, when we're young and the world is less complicated and happiness is a very day thing.

Now as we grow older, we worry and worry and worry about everything.
We fight, we argue, we compare, we always wanna win...while one side of the world is picking up the pieces (Japan), the other side of the world goes to war (Libya).
When do people learn to make peace and not war?

I just got the news that my 3rd aunty in Ipoh has 4th stage cancer.
It's a very heart breaking news indeed.

Lesson of the day

2011-04-18T01:04:00.001+08:00

Lesson of the day is the same thing all over again.

Fear God.

Appreciate people around me. My family, Boon Chong and all my friends.

Be grateful for the little things that I have.

Find the joy in giving than in receiving.

These are life long lessons.=)

The Uma

2011-04-18T00:47:00.001+08:00

So there we were, enjoying our balinese dinner @ The Uma-Kota Damansara.

Vera is turning 25 in 2 days time,

I hereby wishes her happiness, health and to get through LLB with good results!=D

Destination~

I've always like balinese food and hey...I found another great place to dine!

Go..The Uma.

The ladies.

All grown up!

Group picture that looks like the front cover of some taiwanese idol drama.lol.

Tim looks like grandfather, Alvin looks like a gangster and BC looks like a goody mummy boy.

The queen of the night-Miss Vera Tay

Happy Birthday Vera!

Lastly,

Me and Boon Chong.

Today's morning was donated to Grandpa Chow "the sleeping God" and I woke up around 1pm.

Made a trip to VIVA-the new shopping centre near my area and surprisely the place was packed with people. 3.30pm but all the restaurants were full.

Again wanted to watch a movie but the timing was not favourable to us so we ended up checking out furnitures!

We spent less than half an hour in VIVA and headed to have a bowl of satisfying Tomyam Curry *which we wanted to eat yesterday*.

A short siesta and we start our journey to The Uma.

Enjoyed a great evening with friends, celebrating Vera's 25th birthday.

Again, Happy Birthday Vera!

Proverbs

2011-04-16T02:21:00.001+08:00

Been reading proverbs lately...
I was literally nodding in full understanding while reading it, but to put it into practice?

Way harder...

The 300th post in my blog!And it's all about girlfriends and shopping day!

2011-04-16T01:16:00.002+08:00

Date: 15/04/11

Venue: Pavilion

Objective: Shop for Vera's birthday present!

Pad Thai at Pavilion food court has always been my 1st choice but it didn't taste as good as before.

The best one I tried, is of course, in Bangkok.

Mun ordered La Mien with Sui Kaw. The Lai Mien was very smooth and it cost RM8.80 (reasonable for a bowl of noodle in Pavilion)

The noodle is made right after every order and straight it goes into the boiling water.

Within minutes, it is served and ready to be eaten.

Again, the just wake up look of mine and mun's sleepy face.

We both look horrible in this picture..

Maybe it's because of our lack of effort to take care of our complexion, skin and appearance.

Which reminds me that it has been a long time since I last mask my face or apply night cream.=(

Jolene and our cupcake appetizer.

I can't help buying these when I saw them all colourfully displayed at the cup cake booth.

How can I say no to red velvet?=D

Vera's Fried Kuey Teow from Little Wok.

Candid picture taken by me!

A part of our lunch today.

The fresher looking ones on the other side.

Oh yes they bought it!!!

And yes, they wanted to buy it.

But...it's pricy and unpractical. So the shopping instinct says "drop it"

Gorgeous!!

So we spend like more than an hour in Padini Concept Store, checked out Eclipse, Nose, Pull & Bear, Sembonia etc and ended up in Forever 21, where we finally got Vera a leopard print toga dress that looks dazzling on her.

The moment she walked out from the fitting room,

I was like "Okie, you so gonna get this!"

Mun bought a dark blue leggings and a long necklace from Forever 21, and I got myself a grey legging *which I was searching for quite some time since last year*

Was very close to getting a bag from Forever 21 but choose not to because this month is gonna incur a lot of spending, so gonna control on shopping. *birthdays in April are all in a roll*

Anyway, was also very close to buying that pair of white jeans from PDI but they don't have my size!

A great day spent with my girlfriends in Pavilion.=)

It has been long since we last shop together.

Looking forward for our movie night next Tuesday-free tickets to watch Red Riding Hood.

Again, thanks to Miss Lucky aka Kong Ee Mun.

Rainy day, just the way I like it.

2011-04-14T20:19:00.000+08:00

I love the weather today, it makes me wanna roll on bed the whole day. *hopelessly lazy*
Just like Bruno Mars-The Lazy Song.

And there was donuts before Yong Tau Foo dinner.=)

The few pictures we took.

2011-04-14T00:03:00.001+08:00

These are some pictures we took last 2 weeks.

Mun was fascinated by the hop pop out advertisement board.

So, we snap snap snap!

Did you realise the cunning looking chick at the bottom?

Bieber Fever...it's very contagious..

Look what it did to us?

The 2nd option after Timothy.

But of course Tim is more good looking *I know he reads my blog*

The Gila Bieber me.

Wanna thank Ee Mun for being the nicest friend ever!=)

Hope to have more crazy times with you.*as we always do*

Love & Hugs.

p/s: we are not a fan of Bieber.

Eye opener

2011-04-13T23:32:00.000+08:00

You won't believe it until you experience it yourself.

Today was an eye opener for me.

Unwell.

2011-04-13T10:51:00.000+08:00

I'm having insomnia and I just can't sleep at night.

=(

Gloomy Monday

2011-04-11T18:46:00.000+08:00

I went for Sushi King's RM2 Bonanza for the first time today. Can't compare Sushi King to other restaurants like Hokkaido Ichiban or Senjyu sushi, for the price I paid, it's fairly good. Still likes the egg mayo and golden ball at Sushi King.=D
After lunch was coffee at Winter Warmers, long chat about everything that comes to mind, from work to relationship to studies to travel...

And yes, in a few months time, it's really stepping out to the society for real.
Everything is moving so fast, and I will miss the time in college, especially the time I spend with my friends.

Another detour.

2011-04-09T00:48:00.003+08:00

We were on our way to college's library and mun suddenly pop out the question of when we're buying Debbie's present.

I was like..."Debbie's birthday celeb is tomorrow!"

So...we made a detour to One Utama.

On the way, Tim called and asked us for late lunch.

Enjoy a nice plate of nasi kandar near SS2 together with Tim and Mel and headed to Tropicana City Mall instead of One Utama.

1st shop we went was the face shop and spent like half an hour there.

Bought Deb's present and aloe facial cleanser for myself.

Mel bought a brush and 3 nail colours. All 3 of us went so happy about the discounts, the additional discount (thanks to Mun's PBB card) and the freebies.=) *worth*

Went to a few other shops to shop for other presents but didn't spot what we wanted.

Lastly, enjoyed tea time at Pastry Culture.

Another heavenly afternoon with coffee and cheese cake.=)

Picturesss..

Coffee and cakes.

Mun.

*don't be angry..atleast I didn't upload it in fb*

The ultimate coffee lover.

Mun again.

Coffee and me..we're meant to be.

After this was jam, class, and late supper of Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng Panas to wrap up my friday.

Here and there

2011-04-07T01:31:00.001+08:00

Sittng down blogging with the whole bottle of Baileys beside me.
3 glasses down and still going..
Skipped class, cleared my desk and ready to kick start my revision momentum.
No more excuses, no more complaining...just gonna nail it down and make it through.

There are so many dreams that I wish to achieve...
Until the point where I need to tell myself to slow down, take it easy and do it one step at a time.
I do believe that all my dreams will come true one day, as long as I put my heart into doing it.
Again, it's back to nothing is impossible.

I read some famous blogger's blog and it made me realised what the world is turning into.
The next thing I know, will be my daughter coming home telling me, "Hey mum, I just got a nose job".
The blogger posted a blog about her being bold enough to admit she did a PS and she is trying her very best to justify why she did it. Although she denies being insecure...but to me, it's pure insecurity.

Was browsing the web and snap, tiger airways flies to Singapore from KL for RM25...*scream*....*scream louder*

And why Hong Kong accommodations are so expensive?
A trip to HK 5d4n + expenses needs approximately RM2500 (minimum).*faint*

Was also browsing about irregular period, yaaa...I'm facing this problem about irregular menstruation...it has been years and it's really bothering me.Any advice?
The thought of not having any children of my own freaks me out.
Now I'm being insecure.lol.

Suppose to meet Ida for lunch tomorrow but the brother needs to use the car, so...
Tomorrow's just study and class.

=(
more Baileys

Immune to coffee??

2011-04-06T15:47:00.005+08:00

Electricity was cut off yesterday night from 11pm-12.30am and the one and a half hour, I can't do anything else because it was just too hot.
I was saying a prayer before I start my revision when the electricity went off, the brother said it's a sign that I'm gonna fail my CLP...haihz..=(
When doing revision, I'll always have a cup of coffee beside me, so I drank it down anyway, while waiting for the lights and air-conditioner to get back on.

I resumed my studies at 12.30am and took a break at 1.45am. Switched on the TV and watched entertainment news, all the gossip about celebrities on channel 313. Before I knew it, I was snoozing off in front of the television. Then, I fell asleep on the couch.
When I woke up, it was around 2.30am when my brother went to the toilet for midnight wee wee.LOL.
And I was like...."Didnt I drank a full cup of white coffee before I start my revision?"
So....yeah....means I can drink coffee anytime of the day and don't need to worry about the inability to fall asleep.

But the drawback was that my sleep wasn't good the whole night. I was very alert. Woke up when it was sembahyang time, woke up when mum came in to sweep the floor...So I woke up around 11am, feeling extremely tired
Dragged myself to the bathroom and went out for lunch with BC. Had Pizza at Pizza Hut Maluri and with all the heavy cheese, I went back to sleep when I got home.
How to lose the love handles?=(

Anyway, about my tuition yesterday, it was all good.
The 2 girls are simply adorable. One talks non stop with very good English and the other smiles like 24/7. Whatever I asked her, she'll just smile...and smile...and smile.
I felt the pressure when I asked them about their results in school. One is studying in a private school-Cempaka and the other (who smiles 24/7) studies in a chinese school.
The one studying in Cempaka (Coco) gets 82% for her English and the other one (Ke Sin) gets 97.5%.

Hmmm....
*pressure*

Tuesday afternoon

2011-04-05T17:11:00.001+08:00

So I went to Leisure Mall's popular book store and walked straight to the primary school english work book section.
There are so many books to choose from, I was standing there, starring at all the books until a middle age lady came and she too, was checking out books for her daughter.

So I went and ask...
Amy: "Excuse me, which publisher do you recommend for english work book for a primary year 3 pupil?"
Lady: "Ohhh...buy for your sister? Just try this this and this, that that and that not good.For comprehension, you would prefer those, but for writing, you should try these."
Amy:" Okie, thank you, you work here?"
Lady: "Nolah...I buy a lot of books for my children, that's why I know lah."
Amy: "Geee..thanks a lot."

So, children spend most of their free time doing work books I presume. So much for childhood when they're suppose to be out to play and get all dirty and come back.
But thanks to the lady, I managed to buy what I wanted.=)

Besides books, I bought some cards, a sharpener *I dont' have one since high school* and a diary.
Then I bought some bread from Bread Story and headed home.
It was pouring rain when I reached home, the weather is terrible, it was so hot yesterday and today, it's cold.

But...
Nothing beats drinking coffee with blueberry cheese tart on a cold Tuesday afternoon.

*all smiles*

C'est La Vie

2011-04-05T14:14:00.006+08:00

I know I did the right thing and that's all that matters.
I'm moving on...

Today is my first tuition class with 2 little girls, one aged 9 and another age 10.
Tuitions are only on Tuesdays and the best thing is, I don't have to travel because they're my neighbours, staying upstairs.
I took up the job because my savings has been eaten up very quickly...and it is a sad thing to see your bank account digit going down.=(
This is my first tuition teaching little girls, I hope it's not as difficult as teaching little boys because little boys seriously drive me up the ceiling.
Will have to drop by the bookstore to buy some English books and some stickers (barbie doll or cinderella). Karen told me that stickers work fantastically on 9 year olds, so I'm gonna give it a try.

Been progressing in my studies, started studying bankruptcy and winding up.
Do you believe that studying can be addictive?
Well, I hope the addiction continues until exams, if it does, I can pass CLP*if it does*.

I'm still enjoying very single day waking up late and staying up late.
And I'm still craving for cupcakes and macaroons.
Still wanna grab any opportunity to get out of KL and of out Malaysia.haha.

C'est La Vie

It melts like popsicles

2011-04-02T01:11:00.001+08:00

After what you said,

my heart instantly melt like popsicles under the hot sun.

Shop.dine.ice-cream.movie

2011-04-01T03:56:00.002+08:00

I woke up around 1pm and went for lunch with dad. Since I got sick of hotel food and craves for Wan Tan Mee and Curry Mee, we drove our way to Shamelin and I settled for a nice bowl of dry curry noodle while dad had his mixed rice.

When I got home, Mun texted me about dinner with Donn tonight and so we went together.

The dinner was at 8pm and we reached there around 7.55pm. On the way to Nandos, I can't resist going into the shops and do a little shopping. We went to Kitschen and I tried on a few blouses and a maxi dress.

Love the maxi dress but decided not to buy because I have no occassion to wear it to.=(.Bought a black tube top to wear for Vera's bday and that's it. Mun bought a gorgeous tube dress and a tube top.

We spent half an hour in Kitschen and rushed to Nandos (which is just opposite) for dinner.

So....here's us after dinner.

Check out Tim's smile-classic!

Donn and me. he flew to KL when I was in Singapore.

So we ended up meeting in KL rather than in SG.

I looked so fair beside him.*all smiles*

Mun and Amy.

I think I look really good in this pic.*perasan*

We went to Bangsar for Baskin Robbin ice-cream because it's 31st and there's 30% off a pint!!

After ice-cream was limau ais at Nirwana.

In between conversations, the friends mentioned that the movie-world invasion was awesome, so me and mun spontaneously went to Mid Valley to catch the midnight movie.

Here we are...last customer before the cinema closes.

It's 4am in the morning and believe me, I'm still gonna read up on evidence before snoozing off.

So, if I can't wake up tomorrow for the financial talk at UCSI, tim and mun-I had valid reasons!!

My working trip to Singapore

2011-03-31T16:35:00.003+08:00

Subang airport aka Sky park.

I reached there an hour earlier because of my over worried mummy that says "In case of Sunday morning traffic." (-_-)

Taken while stoning on the couch.

Very first time flying with Firefly.

It was okieeee..they do serve cakes, nuts and fruit juices.

Deluxe room @ InterContinental hotel.

One night cost 370 SD ++ = RM925 ++

*Expensiveeee*

Food tasting on the first night @ My humble house-voted as the best restaurant in Singapore year 2010.

Again, my first time indulging in Chinese Fusion Fine Dining.

Price?? 110SG per person = RM275

Outside of Esplanade, along Marina Bay.

Bugis Junction, located right at the back of InterContinental.

Mission accomplished on the 1st night-Met up with Shen

Finally, I get to meet Dexter!!=)

Irresistable supper.

Singapore travel and work trip

2011-03-27T00:14:00.004+08:00

Gonna catch a 10am flight to Singapore tomorrow by Firefly. This is my first time flying with Firefly and I always thought that their price is about the same as Air Asia but I was so wrong. It cost near to RM650 per person to fly to Singapore (two ways).

Thanks to the job, I will finally get to meet up with my high school bestie-Li Shen * without spending a single cent* before she makes her way to the States and never come back. I know her, if she has the chance to stay there, she'll probably settle down and start her life there.

I'll be meeting up with her tomorrow night after dinner and we'll grab a drink or something. The hotel I'm staying is located at Bugis Street, so we'll just hang out around there.

Monday onwards until Wednesday will be all about work. This job that I'm gonna be doing is basically to take charge of the whole conference, from registration to meals to transportation for the doctors that are attending the conference. Apparently the conference is about Denggi fever, so I assume that I'll know a lot about it after the conference.

When I went for the briefing on Thursday and took a look at the schedule, it's more like a makan conference to me. They have breakfast-coffee break-lunch-tea break-dinner. 5 meals in a day!!Luckily, dinner is off site and not in the hotel.

InterContinental-the hotel I'll be staying in.

Breakfast restaurant

The suite.

Lunch arrangement in the ballroom.

~Can't wait till tomorrow~

Of food and detour

Cheese baked mussels.=)

Dinner is served with 2005 Shiraz.

Today, a detour to Lorong Tiong Nam.

One of the many things I splurged on. Love it.

Always with his serious face while driving.

His.

Somewhere along the way.

He's all into chocolate while I stick to the basic.

Hot Air Balloon Festival @ Putrajaya

2011-03-22T14:02:00.001+08:00

Had a fabulous day at Putrajaya.

In the absence of monday blues

2011-03-21T14:23:00.000+08:00

It's monday and I woke up around 1pm. Working people will be so jealous of me right now!
I'm living my student life in full gratitude, knowing that mondays like these will soon come to an end once I officially step out into the working world.
I enjoyed yesterday's left over salad for lunch and drank a cup of milk. Did house chores and gonna go shopping with my brother because he wanna get a new sneaker and pants. I hope I can get something I like too...=)Maybe more dresses and bags.

Meanwhile, I'm still awaiting for a call from an event company because I applied for some event job in Singapore. I hope they'll call me today because if they don't, it means I don't get the job. If I don't get the job=I don't get to visit Li Shen in Singapore without having spend approx RM1000.T_T

I again have to confess that I'm a terrible lazy student who don't put her studies as priority. Perhaps there is not enough of motivation or enthusiasm involved and there is no passion. I'm so gonna flung my CLP if I continue like this.

What's in my mind now?
I wanna be in the B category! *Only Tim understands*
I don't wanna be in W/S...too stressful and too many monday blues.=(

But....I know that no matter what, I still have to start with W and strike for B.

So...CLP is still very very very important.

Lucky

2011-03-21T03:28:00.002+08:00

It's 3am and I'm still awake, so I'll just blog.
I had a lovely dinner and some pretty amusing chats with my friends. Just appreciate the moments together.=)
Tomorrow, I feel like going shopping and getting a hair cut. Parents are still away in Singapore, so gonna stuck with housework and I strongly dislike mopping the floor. I hope my future husband will help me do the mopping!!haha...
I wanna thank my boyfriend for helping me out in the kitchen today, although he is not an experienced kitchen helper..he did lend me a helping hand. So thank you Boon Chong!!=)
When I see how he peels off the potato skin, I can't stop laughing and teased him about how inexperience he is in the kitchen.
Amy: "Hahahaha...what are you doing?"
BC: " I don't know...this is my first time! I'm not born to do this."
Amy: " Huh?What about after marriage? I'm gonna do all this alone?"
BC: "After marriage, I'll help in everything."

I grin.

I'm a lucky girl.

For the love of pastries & coffee

My dream of diving.

2011-03-13T15:13:00.000+08:00

If only I had another cheque coming in, I'll be getting a diving licence in Perhantian!
Just saw some amazing packages that offer great deals, getting a diver's licence in 5 days time.

I so wanna DIVE!

I miss Perhentian. I might have said this in my previous posts but I have to say it again

I miss the beach...so damn much.

Come what may!

2011-03-11T10:32:00.000+08:00

I want to live to work, not work to live.

Come what may!

2011-03-11T02:06:00.000+08:00

A look out of my window

2011-03-03T12:27:00.001+08:00

When I first moved into my house, I was very proud because I've got the best view from my room's window. In the morning, the sun ray will shine through between the blinds and when I look out the window lying on my bed, I will see the blue sky and smile at God's great creation. Feeling alive.

There was a hill with a house and a huge tree that I could see and sometimes there will be smoke. I felt that it was a very nice view and as though there was a chimney inside the house.
Few years back, I realized that the huge blossoming tree now is dead with dry branches waiting for the day to be chop off. I realized that the hill was actually a cemetery and today, I realized that the smoke that I saw was the smoke released after cremation.

I sunk into deep despair because now it occurs to me that every time I saw smoke, it was someone out there losing their love ones. How insanely stupid to have the thought that the smoke I saw was irresponsible people openly burning their rubbish.

Now every time I see the smoke when I look out the window, I no longer see it as "Wow, it looks like chimney smoke from the far away house on the hill, nice!"
It is no longer admiring how spectacular the view is, but it would be a reminder to myself that life is fragile.
CHERISH, GIVE, LOVE and LOVE more...

It reminds me of a movie, I kinda forgotten the movie title but if I'm not mistaken, the title was The boy in blue pyjamas. It was a movie about Nazi-Germany and the killing of the Jews where they told the Jews to enter into a room for shower, but in fact the room was to kill them with fire, burning them alive and there will be thick smoke coming out from the camp site.

I slept for 2 hours yesterday and woke up very early for my friend-Aimee father's funeral and cremation ceremony. It was today that I was looking up at the smoke that came our from the DBKL Cheras Cremation Center that I came to realized that the cremation center was actually the house on the hill that I see out my window. STUPID!

STUPID that I thank God for the nice view when on the other side up the hill, families are mourning for their love ones.

I no longer think I have a nice view out my window.

and today, I learned to accept death as a part of life.

To be grateful because I have a loving family and boyfriend, close cousins, wonderful bunch of friends, a good life with enough to eat and a shelter. The basic necessity is met, and of course anything extra, I have to work to get it. But ultimately, I've good health and so does my family, I think that's a great blessing!
No compliant. =)

And I hope my life would be a blessing not only to my family but to others.

Hurt

2011-02-28T00:00:00.000+08:00

A little girl was hurt and cries loudly

So a boy gave her a jar of sweets and tell her

"It's okie to be sad and cry. Everytime you feel sad, you can have a sweet from this jar but once you finish the sweets, then it's time for you to stop crying, be strong and move on."

It's much easier to cry and be sad...but it's hard to be strong and move on.

Yet, who can understand what the little girl is feeling?

I wish I could...

Bali in less than a week.

2011-02-27T23:44:00.000+08:00

I'm all ready for my Bali trip which is FRIDAYYYY!
4 more days to go...and I'll be a 4 days 3 nights millionaire.
Can't wait for balinese massage and spa, balinese food, breathtaking tanah lot temple, drinking fresh coconut by the pool side, experiencing the balinese culture...
Before that, I better put more effort in losing weight, if not, I'll be like a muffin stuck inside a bikini.=(

Sunset at Tanah Lot

The day I drew

2011-02-20T23:34:00.001+08:00

I drew a mermaid today.=)
Took out my layered with dust colour pencils and I started colouring.
My mum was so happy, she said I look like I went back to my childhood and it reminded her of her younger days, taking care of me and my brother and how both of us used to lie down, our backs facing the sky with our chin down, drawing for hours.

So, I've read, I've drew...
And I will cook tomorrow!*Trying out a new pasta recipe*

I'm doing everything besides studying.

Finally...I went to Broga!

2011-02-18T16:57:00.000+08:00

Finally, me and my friends went up to Broga Hill for the very first time.
It was a much easier hike compared to Bukit Tabur but it is definitely more slippery because it was sandy and the foundation of the hill-the rocks were smooth, unilke Tabur that is made of Quartz.
The view at the peak was breathetaking, and of course we made it for the sunrise!!yeah!!I'm glad that all of my friends made it for sunrise.
After the hike, we drove to Kajang for Satay. It was my first time in Kajang and the Kajang satay was good-especially the beef satay. They serve a variety of satay, mutton, beef, chicken, even fish and duck.

Then we headed home and I had a long siesta.

It's now 4.45pm and I'm wondering what to do tonight.
I'll start studying next week, so perhaps I'll go for a movie later or go shopping or finish up Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom or go for a jog. I don't know....*GOSH!!I Love THIS FEELING- THE DON'T-KNOW-WHAT-TO-DO-NEXT-AND-CAN-DO- ANYTHING-I-WANT -FEELING*
This feeling probably gonna last for another 1/2 days then I'll start to feel bored.
That's me, I can't be left with too much of free time. I remembered crying after SPM because I have nothing to do. That explains why I'm always multitasking and doing a lot of things at the same time.

Meanwhile, I'll enjoy this care free feeling.

Valentine

2011-02-16T11:46:00.001+08:00

Okie, it's my last day of work today so I'm very very free to blog today. So this post is gonna be all over the place because I'll just blog whatever that comes to my mind.

I had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriends yesterday at d'italian kitcehn-Jaya 33. The food there was superb, especially their carbonara pasta. Everything was good except the fact that I put on 1 kg this morning. Yesterday was our first triple date together and I think we annoyed the crowd there because we just can't stop taking pictures.=)

Just to share how I celebrated my Valentine.
At first, Boon Chong said he's going out with his colleagues during V-day, so I decided to ajak my colleagues to my house on V-day and bring them up to look out point. But then one day before V-day, he told me that his plans were cancelled. Too bad, I've already ajak all my colleagues out on V-day so I proceeded with my agenda. During V-day around 5pm, a delivery of roses was made to the office, and I was at the customer service counter and was the first one who spotted the delivery girl with the bouquet of roses. In my heart, I was wishing that it was for me (every girl want to be given flowers...don't deny it!!) but...........it was for Elizabeth!!!*jealous*

Anyway, my colleagues and I jammed like 1 and a half hours after work to my house. Bet now they know how far Cheras is and how torturing is the jam from Cheras to PJ and back. When reached, they were all exhausted but still we decided to go for a mid night movie-No String Attached. Went online and booked the tickets, everywhere was fully booked but lucky enough, we managed to book 6 seats at Pavilion 12.30am. (2nd round from front)

We had an expensive valentine dinner eating chicken chop that cost more than RM30 at look up point but the company was good. Boon Chong joined us subsequently and I was surprised to find sekuntum bunga ros on his car seat when we leave look out point and headed to Pavilion. Although I knew that the sekuntum bunga ros is bought by BC having been approached by some random flower seller that wish to earn some extra bucks during V-day, I am truly thankful and happy!!

My V-day ended with me walking half dead out from the cinema and my night started once I got into BC's car. Slept all the way back, can't even remember how I ended up next morning on my bed.

Impromptu presentation

2011-02-14T18:06:00.001+08:00

I just had an impromptu presentation infront of CEO(s) from Myanmar and Cambodia.
Good news is...Zuccari products are entering into both of these countries.
Bad news is....I'm leaving the company and I won't be able to experience the future progress.
I have mixed feelings, a part of me feels happy to resume my student carefree life without much stress (only exam stress) but a part of me feels bitter to have to pass down and leave.
Wednesday is my last day and I WILL enjoy my last day of work to the fullest.=)
I've been in Frontier for half a year. In this half a year, I met some amazing friends..ahem..yes, especially Ida Ng and I've learn so much knowledge that I couldn't gain from reading books alone.
I love the flexibility that this job offers, the opportunity and the ability to take risks.
Organizing road-shows had taught me to be more organized, to turn this messy girl into a planner. Plannings are very important to ensure smoothness of the whole event.
There are also many "first time" in Frontier, first time using the fax machine, first time doing sales and marketing report, first time drafting out budgets for road-shows, first time presenting products into pharmacy.....
Colleagues in Frontier have been very nice to me, there are inevitable office politics but I always learn to avoid and stay out of it. It's simple-just stay neutral and don't back stab. =)
Ohya...and I'm more health conscious now. Good thing right?

I think I will definitely miss my colleagues.
And the free Zuccari hand cream I get to use.=P

Working trip to Penang.

2011-02-02T23:12:00.001+08:00

Penang trip was very tiring because our working hours was from 9am-1pm and from 4pm-9pm,

it was also life threatening because Kah Jun drove 140-150km/h and it only took 2 and a half hour to get from Penang back to KL.

We didn't get to visit much places nor do much in these 3 days but at least we had char kuey teow very single night!!

I would say it was a great experience for me because it was my first working trip out station and I met some new friends along the way.

The sunset while we're driving to Penang Island.

KL girl got very excited when she reached the heart of Penang bridge.*Snap*

First night in Penang-Gurney Plaza entrance

The crowded Gurney Drive.

Delicious ROJAK. The best food we had in Gurney Drive.

Hui Xian having Penang Laksa

Kah Jun texting her gf.

Our booth at Celebrity Fitness-Gurney Plaza..

Our lunch at 600cc, a taiwanese restaurant.

Work work work.

Second Night-a quick drive to Batu Feringgi.

Our Char Kuey Teow on the 2nd night taste much better than the 1st one we had at Gurney Drive.

Penang Char Mee? I cant remember what was it called but it was good.

Hokkien Mee.=D

We can't get enough of Char Kuey Teow.haha

We went for a swim during our break time and got ourselves sun burnt after a short half an hour swim.

Haihz.

3rd night and we had our charming tour guide-Yu Kee to bring us around but he is very bad in directions and got us lost.=(

The funny thing is, Kah Jun ended up teaching him the roads in Penang!!

Enjoying the strong sea breeze!!=)

Yu Kee brought us to a food court that overlook the sea.

Char Kuey Teow again.

Hui Xian ordered a cheese penne carbonara.

Upper Penang Road

Drinking in Penang is cheaper than in KL, that makes Kah Jun very happy.

We ended up in Monkey Bar.

The last night in Penang ends with a tower of Tiger.

Me and Yu Kee

Candid.

Yu Kee & Hui Xian

And some chemistry along the way.

Stanley was too shy to take a picture with Hui Xian.

Last day-Lunch at Chicago Rib House.

A restaurant similar to Tony Roma but the difference is, they serve PORK!!

Yu Kee, Rain, Ben and Hui Xian.

I hope they'll open a branch in KL coz I'm missing the taste of their pork chop already.

Ben having his home cook lunch at the restaurant.

~End~

Too happy to stop...

2011-01-28T15:59:00.000+08:00

I've been going to the malls everyday this week and I can't stop buying new clothes/bags/shoes/accessories for the new year.

When I didn't get any dress, I tell myself that I need a new dress.
When I got a new dress, I tell myself one is not enough.
When I bought 3 new dresses, I tell myself...there is 15 days of CNY...
Hence, it is still not enough.

Then I don't have any new shoes.
So I bought a beige wedges from Cotton On, but I tell myself...I need ballet flats.
While I'm supposed to shop for ballet flats, I ended up buying a pair of gorgeous lace heels.
Hence, I still need a new ballet flats.

My CNY wish list goes on and on...
I think I will only stop shopping next Thursday, which is the first day of CNY.

Till then, everyday is shopping day!

Counting down

2011-01-24T15:21:00.000+08:00

12 more working days...

And I'll be back to my student life, with tight pockets and one focus-Study!

Raymond & Celinn's big day

2011-01-16T13:43:00.003+08:00

I attended Bc's ex-colleague's wedding dinner yesterday night at One Bangsar Banquet. The restaurant fits about 30+ tables and the whole restaurant was filled with lighting, even their walls and pillars were decorated with lightings. The ambience was good but the food was average.

I met a lot of Bc's colleagues from Colgate Palmolive and Permanis-all his superiors...because he was the only graduate trainee invited for the wedding.

It was quite an experience...and I met Speed Mart 99's founder-he sat at the same table with us!!=)

Table 18- lucky number.

2nd round-La-Bodega at BSC to meet up with Jin Yu who came back from UK.

My night ended with my favourite cocktail-Lime margarita...

I think that La Bodega serves the best lime Margarita in town!!
