And We Thought We Speak Good English!

2011-12-21T19:13:00.001+08:00

It is the 3rd day in Singapore...and I am still in the office at this hour! It has been quite fun these last 3 days especially with our colleague Shaun whom is British by the way. I have never realized how bad our English was until he made fun at the sentences we so commonly use:- Sentence 1: Hi! How are you? Have you taken your lunch? Shaun: Where should I take my lunch to? Correct sentence

Correction: Lunar Eclipse

2011-12-12T10:55:00.000+08:00

Correction on my previous post. It wasn't solar eclipse but a lunar eclipse. So what we saw 2 nights ago was a total lunar eclipse. Guess I got confused with the 2 eclipses! My bad! As I have briefly defined solar eclipse in my other post, here's what wikipedia states about lunar eclipse... A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from

Solar Eclipse

2011-12-10T23:54:00.000+08:00

When one mentioned the word "eclipse", what would be the first thing that crosses your mind? Twilight? No, I ain't referring to the Stephanie Meyer Twilight's 3rd series, Eclipse. I am referring to the real eclipse. Solar eclipse the be exact. I have just witnessed this natural phenomenon just couple of minutes ago right here from my crib! Have you ever witnessed one before? If I recall

A Fresh New Look

2011-11-16T12:50:00.000+08:00

I have a lot of free time today (yes, aint I the luckiest person?!). So free that I am thinking what should I do to occupy my time. Hence I thought of updating my blog with a fresh new look. New colour scheme and new layout. Do you like 'em? This makes me wonder: Humans are so fickle. We just love new stuffs. We sometimes get bored with whatever we are doing (such a routine we feel!) and we

Its 11.11.11!

2011-11-11T19:31:00.001+08:00

I thought I had to pen down something in my blog on this auspicious day (auspicious! really??). All I know, the most memorable part of today is that my plumber finally fixed my toilet wc. Cool eh? I finally moved back home after recuperating in my parents house for a week. Being with my little baby boy throughout the days (and nights) have been fantastic. I absolutely love motherhood. Hayden

The Surgical Moments

2011-11-04T08:47:00.001+08:00

And so I get to see my son today! After 10 days of not holding him, I miss him so dearly. I am currently still lying down on the hospital bed, awaiting for discharge. Surgery was successful and I am on the road to recovery. Despite the post surgery pain at the wounded area, my throat and chest have a slight irritation feeling to it too. Apparently, I was intubated during the surgery. Can I

The Surgery

2011-11-01T05:03:00.000+08:00

4.30am Kuala Lumpur. Just got back yesterday evening and here I am on the hospital bed at this hour, suffering from jet lag. In 1.5 hours time, I will be placed on the operating table to have the abscess removed once and for all. As I am typing here with just my right hand (as my left been strapped with the IV), I could still feel the pain thundering below me. I am waiting patiently for my

Belem, Lisbon

2011-10-30T17:51:00.001+08:00

Final day in Lisbon. Couple of hours after I've written my last blog yesterday, the painkiller took effect and I felt a lot better. As I was alone, I decided to make a trip down town in this beautiful city. I was excited and my adrenalin ran wild as I have no idea where I was heading to, except for the one ticket that I purchased from the hotel concierge - City Tour. Going round the city was

Pain in Lisbon, Portugal

2011-10-29T18:09:00.000+08:00

I'm utterly upset. Words go beyond the tears in my eyes. Here I am sitting in this beautiful suite in Lisbon, Portugal watching tv. The rest have left to visit Sintra, a beautiful place I heard. So why am I here alone in this hotel? I've not told many of my medical condition. At first my GP told me it was haemorrhoid. I thought it was too. Some advised me to go for a specialist opinion as the

The Crawl

2011-10-09T14:42:00.000+08:00

Good afternoon folks. I'm blogging with my eyes drowsily closing any minute now with little Hayden being rocked to sleep behind me. I just got home couple of hours ago from filthy and not-too-pleasing-to-the-eye state Chittagong, Bangladesh. Ever since I landed in Bangladesh, I kept on wishing that I could go home. Home to my baby hubby boo and to my cutie pie son. Despite my lethargicness, I

Perth

2011-09-16T11:15:00.002+08:00

Its the second last day of our holiday here in Perth. Time has passed by fairly quickly, especially so when you are truly enjoying yourself! Sitting by the couch, overlooking the beautiful beach and the ocean waves splashing every seconds, what a serene beauty right here at our beach apartment in Cottesloe. Its the Indian Ocean I was told. It is absolutely breathtaking. Wish we could just stay

Stress and the Holiday!

2011-09-07T23:12:00.001+08:00

2246hours. Body aching, heart pumping with excitement at the same time as our trip to Perth is drawing near... Its been such a stressful and busy month for the past weeks as I have been travelling so much and workload has been increasing as well. There isn't much days where I can just sit quietly in the office to comb through my emails. Of course it is good to be busy, but then again, I cannot

A Weekend with Hitz.FM & Firefly!

2011-08-14T20:30:00.003+08:00

What a weekend! After a long absence in the world of radio contests, I am finally back! This time with Hitz.FM. I was lucky enough to be in the running to win a year worth of flight tickets courtesy of Firefly. There were 12 contestants all together and we were told to be at Empire Mall (Subang) on Saturday (13th Aug) for a flight simulator training and on Sunday (14th Aug) for the actual day

Amber & Baby Ashton!

2011-07-31T11:22:00.006+08:00

It has been 4 years since I was part of the organizing committee for the Breast Cancer Charity campaign. Being the president and founder of AA Foundation (a charity organization spearheaded by my company Chairman) THEN gave me the opportunity to be part of all charity projects organized by my company. Not only that, did you all know, heading the charity projects also gave me the opportunity to

Hayden's First Word

2011-07-30T12:43:00.000+08:00

Hayden has finally uttered his first word : "MA!" At first I wasn't sure. I heard it couple of times last week and it was a little faint. But on Tuesday, 26th July 2011 at about a little over 9am after his bath, the words were clearer and more distinctive from his usual sound of crying. He was crying away whilst we changed his clothes and he suddenly yelled out "MA!!". I told my colleagues

Pastry Chef?

2011-07-24T15:40:00.004+08:00

I am hungry. Its 2.36pm and I still have not taken my lunch yet! Talk about food, I turned myself into a pastry chef yesterday for the first time in my life. Hubby said that motherly instinct has kicked in eversince I became a mother...... Wow! Really? After celebrating my mother's belated birthday yesterday with a great dimsum buffet at Oriental Pavilion, we head off to shop for groceries. I

Hayden 9 months old!

2011-07-24T14:31:00.001+08:00

Hands blistered with sweats protruding from my forehead. Hubby assisted with his strong arms as we both lifted up the baby cot's wooden base and screwed the bolts back into its place. We have successfully lowered down the cot's base! That is the sign where our baby is growing up and growing up pretty fast! Hayden is already 9 months old. I am happy with how he is progressing. Not as fast as

9th JULY 2011 - Freedom Day

2011-07-10T11:14:00.007+08:00

The following post is strictly WITHOUT PREJUDICE. I have no intention of getting myself into trouble by writing about what is going on with my country. My blog is usually about the on goings of my own life and what I have encountered - to cure the curiosity of my ardent readers. And today it is no different. I am sure most you out there would know what is BERSIH 2.0 (and I am assuming you do

Crazy RoadBlock!

2011-07-08T23:24:00.003+08:00

2310hrs. 8th July 2011. All roads leading into KL are blocked and the radio has just announced that by midnight, the roads will be closed. C.L.O.S.E.D! And that's like 50minutes to go! We drove out of Singapore since 1708hrs and we are still on the road (here in Sg Besi) and the minutes will turn into hours..when will we ever reach back home? I wonder... Rallies, demonstrations, are these

The Grove

2011-06-26T17:36:00.003+08:00

Attending a property launch and subsequently bull dozing your way in getting the unit that you set your eyes upon can be really exciting! Imagine being in a bidding arena or simply, in a night market! Couple of days ago, I, on behalf of my company was invited to attend the launch of YTL's new development site - The Grove at Lakefields (Sg Besi). The night before, I did some research, went

Singapore!

2011-06-17T10:43:00.000+08:00

Here I am sitting in my apartment blogging for the first time right here in Singapore. Its the final day of my biz trip and am counting the hours before my lunch appointment with a client. Singapore is a great country. If I am being brutally honest, this country is way more organize than my dear home country and not to mention, I feel alot more safer here too. Oh, the Great Singapore Sale is on

The Heat and the Holiday

2011-06-06T00:22:00.000+08:00

2335hours. I confined myself in my bedroom for the want of the chill cool air blowing out from my Daikin aircond. I am even contemplating to stripping down to my birthday suit as this hot weather is about to kill me any moment now. I am thinking of snow...ice....winter wonderland...or just RAIN! Why is Kuala Lumpur so terribly extremely hot these days? I think with 3 airconds blowing to my face

The Pirates Sailed into MidValley Shore...!

2011-06-04T09:57:00.001+08:00

Have you watched the Pirates of the Caribbean? If you have, then have you been to Mid Valley recently? I was in total awe when I saw this ... A replica of the ship from the POTC constructed in the middle of the concourse! Who ever that did this surely would do Captain Jack Sparrow (and the movie producers) proud! To Mid Valley, the Management and the architect/ contractor/ designer and

30 is the New 20!

2011-05-29T04:29:00.002+08:00

In continuation of my earlier post, as I am celebrating (still am!) my third decade of life, firstly, I thank God for the years and the life that he has bestowed upon me. We all should be thankful for making through year after year of our birthdays as life journey can be unpredicatable. We just got to brave ourselves for the tide that may come once in a while and live appreciatively for the

The Eve of 30

2011-05-29T03:17:00.005+08:00

Time check: 3AM. Location: Kuala Lumpur. It is still 28th May in England as I blog on the past and I am secretly hoping my favourite football team would win on this very day. Champions League Final between Barcelona and Man Utd! Can the Red Devils win in their so-call home turf - The Wembley stadium? Turning to the big 3 has been great so far. Though it seems just like any other ordinary day,
