Phoenix - Las Vegas - Los Angeles

2009-12-07T21:49:00.004+08:00

Phoenix

Grand Canyon

Disneyland California

Universal Studio Hollywood

Las Vegas

Work & play at the same time doesn't make the holiday very fun.

Gotta go back on time, thinking about training stuff, meetings, work, report...

But it's really a good experience and eye opener. i learnt something about the people & place -

people drive very fast in LA, nothing but gambling & partying in Vegas, people bring their baby or very old parents to the theme park because there are facilities everywhere...it's very rare to see this in Msia.

in short, "the citizens know what to do and the governement knows what to do", that makes them so advanced and civilized.

Friendship.Laughter.Togetherness.

bringing back old memories at Skudai...

Happy Chinese New Year

2009-01-22T13:54:00.005+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Chai!

I will be going back Malacca tomorrow night straight after work. Hopefully there won't be any massive jam. I know somehow or rather there will be a jam but just keep my fingers crossed that it won's be so serious. Can't wait to meet my cousins. But unfortunately, my sis couldn't make for CNY. She has to work. She is working in China and all the China people will be on leave but the company still operates so she has to work lo.. This news somehow bring down my CNY mood. Not being able to reunite with all my family members. I need more CNY songs!!

And tomorrow itself will be my last day in TMR. Will be starting my new job in ON after CNY. Although I didn't really like the management system of TMR, but I really have learnt a lot which I think is very useful for my next job as a Product Engineer. Some of the most important things I learnt are communication with colleagues, customers and suppliers and also project management. I always wanna make sure everything is in order and my project runs smoothly but there will always be problems due to the management system which I think is a total waste. If not because of the management system, I believe this company can progress even better. Anyhow, I need to move forward and turn over a new leaf. And what better way to start a new job than right after CNY! Wish me luck ya.

New Year Resolutions. It's kinda late to list down my resolutions only now but let's just make it my 'chinese' new year resolutions. Basically, it doesn't differ much from my previous resolutions. And I can proudly say that I manage to achieve 80% of my last year's resoultion. There rest were subjective and I believe only others can judge. For example, my resolutions to be a better person. But I did try though. =)

And as for this year,
- I wanna set a good platform for my career. I wanna do my best in my new job and develop a good career. I believe that working in an established company can bring me far. So it's all up to me whether or not to grab the oppurtunity.
- I wanna spend more time with my family members. As we are not seeing each other everyday since my uni days, my relationship with my parents has became stronger. We appreciate each other even more and we make sure every minute together is spent with joy which is why I always look forward to go back. Moreover, they are not young anymore. We should spend more time with them whenever we can. I just wanna say that both of them are the upmost important people in my life.
- Again, to travel overseas more. It's been my dream to travel around the world to see outside Malaysia..their culture, lifestyle, buildings etc. It's the curiousity to see and experience different things because the world is so big and we are only at one tiny side of the world.
- Lastly, I wish to be better in terms of personality and financial. I really think I have changed emotionally especially during that time of the month. Previously, I don't have this problem but now the PMS is getting obvious. Something's wrong with me. I get irritated very easily. I become sentitive to the small things. I must try and control. And I need to control my spendings and save more especially with the economy's condition now.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR & MAY THE YEAR OF OX BRINGS YOU HAPPINESS & WEALTH!

Be Good for Xmas

2008-12-24T16:31:00.005+08:00

I have been a bad girl lately. I have been complaining a lot about my manager and even ganged up with my other collegues gossiping about him. But we really cannot tahan his management skills and leadership. He doesn't join us for meetings with customers and yet wanna ask this and that. In fact, it's part of his responsibilities to deal with customers. And he never help us when we have problems. Only when the customer complains to him, then only he takes action. He always like to talk big when everything he said is wrong and when he knows nothing. When he realizes he is wrong, then only he keeps quiet. If front of us he acts like a tiger, but in front of big boss he shrinks into a rat. Whatever..he just makes me doesn't respect him at all. Here I go again. Can't stop when start mentioning him. Bad, very bad and unhealthy. So from today onwards I will try my best to tahan and SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL AND SPEAK NO EVIL..at least before I start my new job next year Feb.

P/S: Went to watch Ip Man (pronounced as yip mun) on Monday. A movie based on true life. About a sifu who used kungfu to stand for the Chinese during Japanese occupation. Strongly recomended. 5 stars. must watch.

Last but not least, have a warm and merry christmas with your loved ones. =)

Classic Beauty

2008-12-05T16:58:00.013+08:00

Have you ever seen a beauty which is like so exquisite that you just can't take your eyes off? You must think that this is a guy's thing but to me, I always admire the beauty of girls. And I admire those guys who respect and appreciate girls. Well, if you have read my previous post, you'd know that I am currently obsessed with vintage and classic stuff. Gosh, it's like being posessed. I just didn't realize when the fanatic came in. I have been watching Atonement, Egde of Love and Breakfast at Tifanny's. I have been listening to 50's and 60's songs. I have been downloading the old movies and songs. I have been reading blogs on vintage clothings on daily basis. I have been even dreaming of having my own restaurant with the vintage feel and displays of antiques. I felt so close to the old decades. why?? I also don't understand but I do believe vintage is gold and precious. In fact, all the fashion and style we see nowadays are all inspirations of the olden days.

And since my eyes are so familiar with vintage classic beauty lately, I now only begun to discover the beauty of Kiera Kinghtley and Audrey Hepburn. I know I am kinda late. I absoloutely love Kiera's vintage look which is why she has been acting a lot of classic movies. I adore her looks especially with nude make-up. Simple and classic. And Audrey, need I say more? In fact, no words could describe the 'one of the most beautiful women of all time'. Fyi, she is already a legend. She died in 1993. They said she is a fashion icon who didn't follow fashion. 'She wore what suited her throughout her life, fasion trends be damned'. Well, this is something I believe in and which is so true. If a style is so in fashion, doesn't mean that you have to follow in order to be fashionable. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and pretty. That is more important coz with that only you will feel confident.

lovely

gorgeous

elegant

Atonement

cutie hairstyle and unique doey eyes

classic

Breakfast at Tifanny's

and when you combine the two beauties, you get this

PERFECTION!

VINTAGE.. i like

2008-11-27T13:44:00.012+08:00

so in love with vintage stuff right now.
they are comfortable and oh-so-lovely.
plaids, tea dress, cardigans, vintage bags, leggings, ankle boots.
can't take my eyes off them.
simply irresistable.

and these oxford booties are soon to be mine.. *grin*

before I end my post, I present you a photo of my 1 month old SAGA. although I couldn't get WSH 282, but this is just as fine. at least my infamous 282 is still there. hehe.. my old kancil's condition forced me to get this car earlier. anyway, checked another one of my 2008 resolutions! =)

MAMMA MIA!

2008-10-17T14:00:00.004+08:00

Went back last weekend and watched this movie with my mummy..just the two of us! Gosh, it has been years since I last went for a movie with her..we should do more often ok? My mum heard from her colleague that this is a must-watch movie and she just grabbed me to watch with her right after I landed Malacca that Saturday.. and I was in shorts! Luckily the cinema was not too cold.

Seriously, it was a blast. The movie was great and very touching that I cried in two scenes, when the mother and daughter spent their last minutes in a room before Sophie's wedding..I knew my mum was crying too..and another scene was when Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan sang 'The Winner Takes It All' at the hilltop..nothing special but the expression on Meryl's face and the song's meaning was touching..

Although I am not a fan of ABBA, but after watching that movie, I fell in love with 'Chiquititta', 'The Winner Takes It All' and 'I Had A Dream'. My mum is asking me to download ABBA's songs for her which I already have..I downloaded the gold collection..almost all the songs in the movie..and for your information, Meryl Streep sang all the songs in the movie which was amazing..never knew that that Oscar winner can sing so well and dance too! She's a true entertainer.

For those who have not watch the movie, go grab your parents to watch it especially if they love the oldies and they won't get bored watching musical drama. =)

Last but not least, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIS". Hope you are having the best bday celebration on your holidays! Till we meet again on CNY, take care and remember to buy me some souvenirs.

P/S: My new aset has just arrived..happy and sad coz burning a hole in my bank..huhu..

TV Series Mania

2008-09-17T13:50:00.010+08:00

I am CRAZY over tv series and my current favourite ones are ANTM and Gossip Girl. America's Next Top Model latest season 11 is currently at episode 3. Am waiting for the 4th episode. I find Elina and Marjorie looks interesting. This season features a lesbian (Elina) and a transexual (Isis). Jay Manuel said Isis has the coutour look. Can't wait to watch the finale and see who's the winner. Love their photo session part..

Gossip Girl is getting more interesting and you kinda don't know what's the ending as thing changes every episode. I am currently at season 1 epidsode 13 though the season 2 is already out. It's addictive and it brings me back to my high school life but of course we don't have that much gossips to talk about since I was in an all-girls school. I love to see their clothings cause they are all rich people's children. 'XOXO'

I am half way through Sex and the City (season 6) and Ghost Whisperer (season 3) coz priority was given to Gossip Girl and ANTM..haha.. but both are not bad. SATC can be boring sometimes but it's interesting cause it's about different things each episode..and the girls are very WILD! Ghost Whisperer is not very scary and it's about a girl (Jennifer Love Hewitt) who can see ghosts and she'll try to help them pass message and find out the truth etc.

And I have finished the Grey's Anatomy Season 4 which features Lexis, Meredith's step sister. The ending of the season finds Meredith and Derek back together. But are they really back together for good? Guess their in-and-out of relationship will never ends. Need to see the next season to find out. =)

Holiday at Bali ~ 10/9/08-13/9/08

2008-09-16T13:09:00.038+08:00

Hi friends, I am back from my Bali trip 10/9-13/9 with lotsa sweet memories and a serious sun burn.. still very painful now especially at the shoulder area.. = ( If you were to ask me to describe Bali.. the vivid image of Bali to me is beautiful beaches and beautiful sceneries. If you are into photography, Bali would be the perfect place for photo shots.. very unique architecture, carvings, temples by the lake, beautiful sunset. A good camera will be good. All in all, Bali is a beautiful place and everyone should go there at least once in their lifetime. Personally, I think 4 days is not enough to explore Bali, you need about 5-6 days to finish all the famous places. Anyhow, I guess our trip manage to cover all the must-go places..thanks to our driver. = )

If you are planning on a budget trip, I would advise you to do it free and easy which means you plan everything yourself because the package by travel agency will include very expensive dinners/lunches and tour guide tippings and even commissions. Most importantly, you need to get the lowest price of air fare because the air fare can be as expensive as 1k or more. We manage to get return air fares from Air Asia at only RM207. We actually bought a 4D3N Free & Easy package from Pearl Holiday at Matta Fair for RM634 per person inclusive of 3N hotel, return air tickets and airport transfer. You can even save from the hotel if you don't mind staying at hostels. They are not that bad actually. You can get more information from the net. And if you don't spend too much on souvenirs and shoppings, all you need is just 1k for everything and you can enjoy Bali just as much.. which is what we did! We only used RM400 per person for our expenses in Bali. Besides a couple of expensive meals, you might spend quite a bit on water sport and spa. The entrance fees are not much..only about Rp6.000-Rp10.000 per entry.

As for transportation, you can buy their tour package there. They have many tour booth by the roadside. Alternatively, you can also rent a car or motorbike but you need fill the petrol yourself and their price of petrol is about RM2.40 mind you..So, I think driving yourself there is more suitable for those who intend to stay long and experience the lifestyle there. As for us, we hire a driver to bring us around and he's our tour guide as well. If you wanna save time and money, this is the best alternative as the driver knows the short-cuts, the 'technique' of driving there, which route to take and when is the most suitable time to visit a place. Plus, you don't wanna waste your time sesat there as their road is quite complicated without very helpful signboards. Standard price for a driver is Rp300.000 (full day 10-12hrs) and Rp175.000 (half day 6hrs) including petrol and parking fees. This price is for one car and our driver was using a Suzuki APV which can fit 6-7 people. We manage to get special price from our driver as we booked him for 2 full days and 1 half day. He's a very nice man but kinda passive as in he's not very talkative to explain and talk to you. So we have ask a lot..hehe..Initially, I contacted his friend Pak Agus (+6281337359168) but he was booked so he recomended Pak Atori (+6281803880142). I got Agus' contact from one of the internet forums. If you guys wanna go there, you may sms him from Malaysia a few days before you go to book him first.. he'll reply. I chose him because his price is negotiable. If both of them is not available, you may contact me as I have a few more contacts. Remember to keep your hp credit sufficient if you are using prepaid as one sms to Malaysia or Indonesia number is RM2.00. If you have many sms/calls to made, it's better to get a sim card there..very cheap.. only about Rp20.000 (less than RM10).

As for the souvenir's price, usually you can bargain up to half the price displayed. We only bought a few t-shirts and batik purses.The food there is quite expensive if you go to restaurants and cafe.. but more hygenic. You can get cheaper food from the warungs but becareful if you have sensitive stomach as you might end up with a 'lau sai'. And remember to keep Rp150.000 for the passenger service charge at Ngurah Rai Airport when returning to Malaysia. The charge is not included in the air fare. Some of the Bahasa Indonesia you might need to know are like Ibu (miss/mrs), Bapak (mister), kamar kecil (toilet), bisa (boleh), faham (know), sapi (beef) etc.. not much difference from our Bahasa Malaysia actually.

Electronic Gadgets for myself

2008-07-06T16:31:00.008+08:00

If you have read my post on my new year's resolution, I have made it a target to buy something great and cool to pamper myself this year. So I just made it happen a couple of weeks ago. I bought a Compaq Presario V3000 and Sony Ericsson K770 both on the same day! which caused a huge hole in my pocket now.. hehe.. but I am happy and contented.. hehe..

Firstly, I have longed for a laptop like since secondary school. I thought it was so cool being able to bring your laptop around everywhere you go. But in those days, jangan harap you can get a 2000+ laptop. They were very very expensive. So, when I entered uni, I bought the fugly (fat and ugly) desktop coz that's the cheapest my sis can get for me and which meets my needs. So, I was stuck with that desktop for 4 years. The reason I buy a laptop? Coz it's easier for me to bring back hometown to online or transfer stuff from my sis's laptop. And since my stupiak company didn't give us laptop, it's more convinient when I have meeting with customer at their place. Moreover, this laptop has more RAM and HDD which means smoother multitasking and more space for downloads..hehe.. So, yeah.. I bought the Compaq Presarion V3000 which is not very expensive but considerably enough for me... afterall I only use computer for online, documentation, watch movie and some light-duty games. I like its scratch-proof cover and its simple and classy interior unlike Dell Insprion's silver interior.

Secondly, as for the handphone.. I never really wanted to buy a new handphone. Afterall, my old Nokia 3120 still can be used only with some scratches here and there. And I am not the kind of people who keep changing their handphone to follow the latest trend. In fact I am very scared of spending a lot of money on expensive stuff coz I am scared I'll spoil, damage, or scratch it one day.. then I'll be very very 'sam-tong'.. coz I know myself I am not a dainty person who takes good care of her stuff very well.. I am clumsy sometimes..hehe. So what makes me buy a new one? Pressure from people around me (what a lame excuse). But seriously.. when I took out handphone, my friends and cousins will ask "eh, when wanna change hp?" or "eh, don't want change hp meh?"..walau, my hp that teruk meh? If I am in good mood, I'll reply "No need la. Still can use ma. Don't waste money lo. Can call can dy." If I no mood, I'll reply "Going to buy". Moreover, my mum also asked me to give her mine after I buy a new one.. with new casing of course. So when I was finally financially able to buy, I asked Onn for suggestion and his boss suggested K770 with 3.2megapixel cybershot.. again, not very expensive but new and enough for me. I like it coz it's not too bulky. Can put in pocket without buldging. =)

Bangkok Holiday ~ 10/6/08-13/6/08

2008-07-06T13:52:00.035+08:00

This is my first overseas holiday, excluding Singapore la.. which means also my first time taking an air flight! The whole experience was great.. being with a whole bunch of old high school friends having lotsa fun and laughter. Some of them are just so fei and funny to keep the trip interesting and non-stop laughter. So grateful we are still keeping in touch even after secondary graduation.

Well, basically visiting Thailand means visiting a lot of temples, I repeat real A LOT.. Ya, they have many different kinds of temples with different designs and colours. So, if you are into history and buidling architecture, you'll definitely love Thailand.

Besides that, they have many bazaar like night bazaar and floating market. Floating market has to be one of Bangkok's unique landmark coz no other countries has it. Although shopping can be very exciting especially for shopping lovers, it can be a nightmare as well. The sellers will persuade you in an aggresive way to buy their stuff. And if you don't buy, they will scold. If you offer a price and they agreed, you gotta buy or else they'll scold. Really scary. So, we were actually very careful when bargaining. However, like Mei Sieh said, we already 'ba' (immuned) with their scoldings.. hehe..

And I also realized that the Thais respect their King very much and they are also very devoted to their religion, Buddha. You can easily find a small temple in between buidings. And they have their King's photo hung in their houses. This must be the real meaning of faithful and loyalty. I heard from my one of my Thai friend, the Thais will wear clothes in yellow to celebrate their King's birthday as a sign of devotion. This is something I'd salute the Thais for.

Visiting the interesting and famous places can be fun but if you are first time going Bangkok and going free and easy, I would advice you to be extra careful with those people by the road side who offer to send you to gem shops and even told that the museums and temples are not opened. We happened to bumped into these people twice but luckily we don't trust them.

Anyway, enough of the complaints. Afterall that's the experience which I can tell everyone in Malaysia. =) Let's go to the photos. No captions coz I can't remember the names of the buildings. Lazy to refer the map again. hehe..

CAN'T WAIT FOR MY COMING BALI TRIP!! ^-^

1) Karaoke with ex-housemates @ Neway, Subang, 5 April '08

I definitely gotta write a long post on this. Firstly, it's a grand thing coz it's the first gathering with my ex-housemates of UTM, IanCing and ZiJun. MeiYi was in Spore and AhKua in Penang so they couldn't join us. Second reason is that this is my virgin visit to Neway Subang and the service and ambience plus facilities are so much better than the other karaokes I been to, not to mention the unlimited salad for lunch. Some of the extraordinary facilites are the 4 sticks of wireless microphone (I repeat, 4 sticks which means each person got 1 microphone), the room with an attached bathroom and the digital controlled sound system. Was my best karaoke experience ever. I gotta give 10/10.

And another best part is that we are entertained by AhLai singing LamFung's songs for 5-6 times. All different songs by LamFung. He must be a great fan of LamFung. I didn't even know that LamFung has so many songs. And the way he sang them with penuh emosi just got us so terhibur. AhLai the best la.. I actually recorded him singing but he will kill me if I put it up here. So, to 'respect' his talent, I shall keep it for the 3 of us only. Hehe..

And we also manage to sapu lotsa food from the lunch buffet.. salad, soup, vege, fruits etc.. Actually, I think we can be full with this food even if we don't order the main course. But I am not sure if they'd allow this. Anyhow, we really enjoyed ourselves. Hope we'll have another gathering soon and this time with wumei and ahkua. Next, the photos.. =)

the grand entrance.. the design really grand hor

IanCing and ZiJun @ the reception

yeh yeh.. each of us holding one wireless mic

AhLai warming up.. tak sabar-sabar dy

the lunch buffet.. food food..

AhLai posing with the food..

AhLai getting dramatic..

AhLai semakin engrossed.. looked at his legs..

AhLai syok sendiri again.. hai.. (fyi, he asked me to take this)

enough of AhLai.. it's IanCing the songbird singing..

AhLai said he wanna learn singing from IanCing..haha

me and Onn

oh ya, I forgot to mention.. we met Mr Joshua Ng at the entrance and he took this for us..

After karaoke, me and Onn went shopping @ SunwayPyramid.. we had dinner @ BBQ Plaza (not nice one)

2. I got my Maybank VisaDebit Card

It's a good news for those like me, who wants a visa credit card but doesn't want to overspend because it is CREDIT card. It functions as a credit card but the difference is that when we made trasaction when we shop, it deduct straight away from your saving account. This is just what I am looking for. And the best part is you can get it on the spot. No need so troublesome go to Maybank so many time. Besides that, it is also the ATM card. So it's the ATM cum Debit Card. But it's better than Debit Card because it can be used anywhere as long as it accepts VISA. You can get more info about Maybank Visa Debit here.

3. HOTLINK Active 10

Still remember last time I always wished that Hotlink could have more than just Active5 coz I have so many people to call.. coursemates, family members, Malacca friends etc.. But now that Hotlink implemented Active10, I can't filled all the blanks.. I only filled up to Active6 currently. I didn't include my colleagues coz we have speed dials and I also seldom call them after office hours.. I guess that's why I can't even finish my RM30 a month.. hehe..

Well, I just got a call from SheauJen on Sunday that she has booked the hotel rooms for our Bangkok trip on 10June! I am so excited! June faste come.. Can't wait.. And I have two things currently in my mind.. what present to buy for Mother's Day and which hp to buy to replace my old and scratched Nokia3210??? Any suggestions???

Happy working friends.. And I have been seeing many photos of my friends going hoildays to celebrate their final exam merdeka.. happy for you guys.. go enjoy and relax ya! Happy graduation. See you all soon. Till then, take care. =)

Matta Fair 2008

2008-03-21T11:51:00.021+08:00

Went to Matta Fair at PWTC last Saturday and I bumped into EeLeen, Ian and Beinjy. They were looking for Pulau Perhentian holiday package. There were three halls altogether. The Hall 3 was more to local holidays while Hall 1&2 were more to overseas holidays and Reliance have their own hall at the entrance. Reliance must be very famous and must be a very big company. Me and Onn set our target to either Bali or Redang holiday packages. It turned out that the price for Bali and Redang including transport are almost the same! We actually plan for a 3D2N holiday on 1-3 May. But most of the promotional packages are valid for July, August and September only which are the non-peak season. In the end, we signed up for a 4D3N Bali trip on September to enjoy the promotion. Afterall, Redang is all about diving and snorkelling which I am not into. If we were to go on May as planned, the air fare itself is already RM1k plus. I am now so excited for the trip to Bangkok in June and Bali in September. My first ever trip overseas (excluding Singapore). Gotta save money from now on for the holiday expenses.. hehe.. 3 of my colleagues got themselves a HongKong trip, China trip and Redang trip. We are all holiday freaks. =) And on the way back from the fair, there was a hall selling digital cameras, video cameras, mp4, etc. I bought a 1G SD card for my camera for RM25. Is it cheap?

style in green.. syok sendiri =)

Yesterday, while I was busy watching 'Beautiful Cooking' dvd, I got a call from my mum which made me super hyper happy. Since it was a holiday, she went back to our old house to check out the post box and clean the house. There was a letter for me! I shall blog about the good news in that letter next week. *grin*

My latest fav song ~ Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love. Love the song. Fill with power and feeling. Love it. Has been playing very often on the radio.

Yeah, it's Friday again. Wish you guys a nice weekend.. time to unwind and relax after a week's hard work at office. =)

Mystery of Human Relationship

2008-03-14T18:54:00.007+08:00

Friendship really is an unexplainable phenomenon. What makes people become friends? Why can you desperately try to be friends with one person but end up going nowhere? Why can you fight endlessly with another person but then end up best friends with that person? Why do some people make you constantly nervous and so leave you wondering about your worth as a person? Why do others make you comfortable enough to laugh and cry and, at the same time, inspire you to be your best?

Today, despite knowing better how to make friends and despite having many wonderful friends, I still ponder the mystery of friendship. Why do some friendships develop between the most unlikely people? What enables some friends to stay friends, to become the type of friends that inspire others to be friends? Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them to last? As I reflect upon the answers, I learn to cherish all the friends that I have had in the past and that I
now have in the present.

My friends and I share so many times. We run errands, drop into fast-food restaurants for a quick bite, go for walks, watch movies, and play games. We also chat, share dreams and concerns, and grow together in our understanding of life. Yes, sometimes we misunderstand each other, get impatient with one another, rub each other wrong, break each other's trust, and hurt each other so badly that we think we can never forgive one another. Yet through all the downs, if we learn to care then our friendship endures like a flower that withers in winter and blooms again in spring. When that happens, we know that we have a found a friend that will forever hold a place in our heart-no matter how many miles there are between us and no matter how many years there have been since we last met. And, if we're fortunate enough, we might even find a friend or two with whom we can grow old because friends make life complete.

I read this from my friend's blog. Very interesting and meaningful I thought. I guess what he meant here is relationships. It really questions me sometimes.. how the relationship between humans can be so special and yet complicated. How could your feelings and bond with a new friend can suddenly be more important than your old friends or even your family? What makes you like/love a particular person so much and on the other hand how you can hate somebody so much that you wish they didn't exist? How can a friendship be totally forgotten after you made new friends and lost in contact with the old friend? And the most unexplainable thing is how a couple who used to be so close and loving can be total strangers and even enemies after they broke up.

I accept it as life. That is just how we human react to feelings for family, friends, lovers and enemies. We do love our family but we sometimes tend to neglect them because we know they are always there. The same goes to friends especially close friends. We never know how important they are until one day they support us and help us when we are in deep trouble and having bad times. That is when we will realize their worth and start to appreciate them. Our family will always be with us no matter how bad we treat them and true friends will always stand by us whenever we need them. As for lovers, they always have our top priority although they might not be the first one to lend you a helping hand when you are in trouble. And when betrayal or problem occurs between lovers, the opposite extreme happens. They became enemies and the hatred is just as much as the love they used to have.

That is how ironic relationship is...

What about you? Ever thought about who is your top priority? Or maybe you have equal priorities for your family, friends and lover? What is love to you? Only for your gf/bf? Or for your family and friends as well??

What I learnt from Buddhism is to be moderate in everything and never be possessive and extremist. It will lead you to nothing and you'll be at the losing end. I guess this can be applied to relationship as well.

Just my thoughts... =)

P/S: It's friday again.. going Matta Fair tmr to check out some holiday packages. See you there if you are going. Btw, it's at PWTC for 3 days (14,15&16 March). ^_~

SPM 2007 Results

2008-03-13T13:13:00.015+08:00

Do you have any relatives or friends who took their SPM results yesterday? Two of my cousins did. One of them got excellent results, 10A1s & 2A2s.. He wanted to become pilot but his family didn't agree which I think because of his safety. So, he plan to study engineering first then maybe continue his dream later on. Which college do you think is best for engineering? He is in dilemma now, don't know which college to choose.. UTAR, MMU, or NUS? I suggested NUS but he is kinda afraid of the stress.

Btw, did you read the papers today? A student from Kedah, Azali Azlan got 21As!!! An amazing 21 and not 12!! Wow.. For me, to take 10 subjects and to score each one of it is already a difficult thing to do.. what more 21 subjects. Salute him la.. And the subjects he took;

Bahasa Malaysia
English
Mathematics
Additional Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
Science
Accountancy
Higher Arabic Language
Economics
Commerce
Geography
History
Malay Literature
Arts
Tasawwur Islam
Al-Quran Education and Assunnah
Syariah Islamiah Education
Islamic Education
English for Science and Technology.

Wah, such a long list and I didn't know there are so many Islamic studies available. Anyway, good for him and congrats.

I went to watch Ah Long Pte. Ltd. yesterday. The movie is so damn funny and is definitely a must-watch. So long didn't watch such an entertaining movie already. Seriously, I laughed from the beginning till the end, non-stop. Mark Lee was the funniest especially the way he talk and his sissy gestures. He was the 'chao ah kua' in the movie while Fann Wong, his wife is the tomboyish Ah Long 'tai ka jie'.. Their Hokkien accent with lotsa 'kanasai' and 'lim peh' was really funny that you'll laugh your heart out. The person sat behind us even laughed till he got choked. Hahaha..

The movie which was directed by Jack Neo took place in Malaysia (somewhere at Jalan Imbi) and some Malaysians actors/actress (MyFm DJ-Jack Lim and Lai Ming) was in the movie. They were not bad at all. Jack Lim was good at acting as a 'tai ko' and Lai Ming who was Fann's mother was pretty funny too. So, you guys shouldn't miss this movie especially those who understand Hokkien. Go and watch at cinema and laugh along with everyone. It's fun. =)

Good news for movie fans. I saw this at GSC yesterday. GSC is having promotion 'Buy 1 Get 1 Ticket FREE' from 8 March 2008 to 30 April 2008 but for certain movies only and it is not applicable for new movies.

General Election 2008 ~ Political Tsunami

2008-03-10T13:31:00.029+08:00

'Political Tsunami' as written in the Star yesterday is really the right phrase to define the political scenario in Malaysia after the General Election 2008. The opposition parties won a lot compared to the last election and it really shocked the government. Perhaps it's a good thing as for the government to think hard why the people are going against them. In my personal point of view, I think that the media especially the Internet is the most powerful weapon here in spreading the message and information to the people especially the youngsters and those first time voting (like me)..

Ok, enough of grandma stories. Let's talk about my first ever experience in voting. I am so glad and excited to be a part of this time's election because it was indeed extraordinary. Last Saturday morning, I woke up early to catch the early bus because I didn't want to drive and get stuck in the jam. To my surprise, the earliest bus available was 1.30pm and by the time I reached the bus station, it was only 10.30am! So, after buying the tickket, me and Onn went shopping at Jusco while waiting for the bus. Anyhow, the road wasn't quite congested.

I reached Malacca at about 3.15pm. My parents immediately sent me to SRK(J) Malim for polling before we went for lunch. The moment I walking toward the registration booth, the BN and DAP people were there shouting asking us to vote for them. I got my number and went to the respective room.. waited for my turn and they checked my IC and then gave me two pieces of coupons to cross for the DUN & Parliament party. After doing that at a semi-closed booth, I put in the coupons in the respective bin.

huge poster for BN

campaign at the roundabout of my taman.. vote for Lim Jak Wang DAP kaw Bachang!

PKR's last minute campaign

so many ppl outside the school

That night while having dinner with my parents, my dad's friend was there saying that DAP won a lot.. in Malacca as well as other states. He was truly excited. After that, we went to Giant to buy some neccessities and quickly went back to check out the results. The three of us sat down in front of the TV watching Astro Ch 501 as they announce the result one by one. We watched till about 1am and went to sleep although the results were not all out yet. But we were satisfied with the results. The DUN party which the 3 of us voted for won. =)

The next morning, me, my parents and my cousins went to Muar to ~~celebrate the election's victory~~ jalan-jalan cari makan. We went jalan-jalan at WETEX and makan-makan at Jalan Haji Abu aka 'Tam Chiak Kuey' (The Glutton's Street). We had 'wu xiang', fried carrot cake, satay, and fried wet mee. Ian who bought the 'wu xiang' said that it's very cheap.. only RM5 for so much. I also bought some otak-otak and 'bak gua'. Overall the food was ok.. and it was a nice and peaceful place.. not very busy..

'chiak chiak chiak'

the 'chai tau kuey'.. different from Malacca's.. it's hot and whittish here

My 24th Bday!!

2008-03-03T13:20:00.023+08:00

28th February 2008 was my birthday and also the day I turned 24. Wow.. the number 24 is actually quite scarifying.. especially when you tell people you are 24 years old ALREADY. Looking back years ago when I still can tell myself and others that I am still small kid and still very young.. but now already 24 (now also young la..hehe..).. And when everytime I tell people that my bday falls on this date, they'll say that I am very lucky for not having my birth date on the 29th or else I can only celebrate once in four years. So, I really felt lucky and thought that it's a very special day. Besides that, the number is very nice too.. '282'. ^_^ I am also very happy to share the same birth date with another two friends, WeeVern and MinChien. So, how was my 24th Bday celebrated?

Bday Celebration #1 (with Malacca friends)

Venue: Bavarian Bierhaus, The Curve

Date: 24 Feb 2008

Initial plan, SheauJen wanted to go 'Sing K' then changed to Shogun Japanese Buffet. After that, me and EeKa suggested a German restaurant at the Curve. Since nobody tried the food there before, we all agreed. Me and HuiJuin parked our car at UPM's hostel and followed Eeka's car to The Curve. EeKa very canggih lo. Don't know where she learn the kampung way.. no need pay tol, but need to pass many tamans and a very long and adventurous journey.. haha.. I can't remember the way if you were to ask me now. Salute her la.. We ordered five porky dishes; pork sausages, German salad (with pork's skin/fat), pork knuckles, Cordon Bleu (pork roll with cheese inside) and baby pork ribs. After the lunch, we were all looked like fat 'PIGS'. For a pork lover like me, I personally enjoyed the food especially the sausages and crispy pork knuckles. Not a bad place to eat. You guys should give it a try someday. The whole thing cost about RM200 and each dish cost an average RM30-RM50. As the closing, we had six pieces of donuts from Big Apple and one of it as my bday cake which followed by a bday song.. haha.. so paiseh but happy till my face also red like tomato.. hehe.. After that we went shopping at The Curve for awhile. Thanks so much for being for thoughtful. So glad to have them as my good friends. We should organize more outings k. =)

Bavarian Bierhaus ~ A German Restaurant which serves good wine and pork..

all porky food.. good for me and SheauJen, the pork lovers

recommended - pork knuckles

recommended - pork sausages

Big Apple donuts as my bday cake.. it's my first time tasting them and they are very delicious =)

Bday Celebration #2 (with Onn)
Venue: Kim Gary, MidValley
Date: 28 Feb 2008

Onn actually wanted to treat me to a Chinese restaurant at MidValley but in the end he couldn't find the restaurant. I think he got to know the restaurant from his friends or some magazines. So, we ended up eating at Kim Gary. The ambience and environment was so bad.. so noisy and crowded.. nothing compared to the Kim Gary in AEON Bukit Tinggi. Anyhow, I tried to eliminate the bad mood, not wanting to spoil the day. I had lamb steak, Onn had cheese baked rice and we had another dish 'curry seafood in roti canai' to make sure we are really full. hehe.. Our food came with a drink, a soup and a dessert. Simple and filling dinner. The bday pressie from Onn - a lovely necklace from 321K Diamonds.. Thanks..

my 'lamb steak' with black wine

his 'Cheese Baked Rice' with seafood

all these included in the set

extra - curry seafood in 'roti canai' - very hot and not very nice

my present <3

Bday Celebration #3 (with parents)

Venue: Villiam Restaurant, Malacca

Date: 1 March 2008

I went back that weekend specially to celebrate my bday with my parents. My sis was still in China but she did sms me a bday wish. It was so nice of her. Wonder if there'll be any pressie from her. haha.. According to my mum, she was having quite a hard time at China especially when communicating with the Chinese there. You know, their mandarin is so much different from ours and moreover my sis is english educated. Hope she won't loose her temper when dealing with them. Anyway, me and my parents had a dinner at Villiam Restaurant near Kg Lapan as my bday celebration. It was my treat. We had the mini 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall', 'The Hot and Cold Dish', wet 'mien sien', and a plate of 'chai sin'.. That evening before the dinner, my mum accompanied me for shopping and I bought a DKNY watch which was sponsored half by my parents as my bday present. I didn't expect them to spend a fortune on my present. Anyway, I wanna thanks them from the bottom of my heart.. After the dinner that night, we went over to my aunt's house to visit my granny as she met with a minor accident. My cousin then gave an EDC tee as my bday presents. Thanks, denise! It was a surprise.

me and mummy at restaurant.. dad's hand shaking

my present (half by parents, half from my own pocket..hehe)

I am so happy being able to celebrate my bday with all my loved ones. Thank for all the presents and also all the invaluable wishes from my friends. You guys made my day! =)

lastly.. "THE BATTLE BEGINS" in Malacca

Jay World Tour 2008

2008-02-25T14:57:00.022+08:00

It was my first time going to Jay's concert and as a big fan of him, last Saturday 23/2/08 was indeed a very important date to me. Waking up at 10am, I was already very very excited. Before going to Stadium Merdeka, we went shopping at The Mines first since it's the nearest shopping mall to Bandar Tasik Selatan StarLRT station. After buying a black leggings for myself, we had our early dinner at the foodcourt at 5 something. After that, we drove to Bandar Tasik Selatan and parked our car there. We then took the LRT to Hang Tuah and crossed a road to take the monorail to Maharajalela. Just a few steps of walking, we finally reached the stadium. It was the first time for me and Onn going to Stadium Merdeka so we were kinda blur. Luckily I met Kelvin, my old Malaccan friend at Hang Tuah station and he told us how to take the monorail.

We reached there quite early, around 6 something but it was already quite packed. We then find a place to sit with a nice view. We waited, took some photos (I manage to steal in my camera thx to the hidden compartment in my handbag), ate some nuggets and waited awhile more... then at 8.20pm, Jay finally came out in a grand opening!! I manage to record the opening. Loud screamings everywhere for Jay! I realized there are actually many more fans who are many many times more fanatic than me. hehe.. They even bought the Jay's goodies outside the stadium which was actually quite expensive.

I did enjoyed the concert very much though it was kinda boring when Nan Quan Ma Ma as the guest artiste performed 3 songs which was like very long for me. Beside 4-5 new songs, Jay also performed some old songs from previous albums like An Jing and Huo Yuan Jia. The funniest performance was 'Ting Ma Ma De Hua' when the LCD featured Chow Yun Fatt and Jacky Cheung rapping.. And Jay even got his hands on some intruments including piano, guitar, guqin, drum, 'shuang jie kun' (nun-chunks) and even 'che ling' (chinese yoyo).

All in all, it was a great concert for me but Onn was disappointed because Jay didn't sing 'Wo Bu Bei' from the lastest album. After the concert, going back to Hang Tuah was a nightmare because you have to squeeze yourself when buying ticket and even worse when squeezing into the monorail. You just don't have any space to move at all. I really felt like wanna pengsan after getting out from the sardine-packed monorail.. Ok, it was an experience after all. Let's get to the photos and videos. Too bad the photos are not very clear coz we sat very far away from Jay but I think the videos are still ok. =)

Edison Chen Finally Came Back!

2008-02-22T09:34:00.007+08:00

Edison Chen finally came back to Hong Kong yesterday to account for himself and to apologize to those involved and affected. In his five-minutes' statement in English, he apparently said that he would quit the Hong Kong entertainment industry "indefinitely" to dedicate himself to charity and community work.

Among some of his words:

"I admit that most of the photos being circulated on the internet were taken by me but these photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone."

"These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent. There's no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the Internet with malicious and deliberate intent."

"I would like now to apologise to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this."

"I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt they have been feeling. I'm sorry."

"I have failed as a role model."

"To all the young people in our community, let this be a lesson for you all. This is not an example to be set for you."

"I have decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul. I will dedicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months."

"I hope after today, I can have your forgiveness... I hope you all will accept my apologies and give me a chance."

It's good that he finally shown up rather than avoiding the matter but don't you think it's kinda too late?

P/S: 1 more day to Jay's concert! ^-^

Happy CHAP GOH MEH !!

2008-02-21T12:36:00.011+08:00

Today is Chap Goh Meh, the last day of Chinese New Year and also the Chinese's Valentine's Day. So sad.. CNY has come to an end but it's the beginning of a new lunar year. =) So, will you be going to the lake to throw mandarin oranges tonight? Hehe..

Well, yesterday I went to this event at Seremban organized by IJM and RB Land (the developer of Seremban2), 'Seremban 2 Chap Goh Meh Festival 2008'. It was my first time to witness such a huge event at the state of Negeri Sembilan. Guess the organizer and sponsors must be very generous and rich to pay for the acrobats from China, lion dancers, 3 minutes' of fireworks displays and not to mention an LCD 32' TV for the lucky draw. We saw many people especially youngsters, 'people mountain people sea'.. until we have to park our car by the roadside coz the parking area was full and we were kinda late too. We thought we were late because we reach there around 9pm, thanks to the jam. However, it actually just started. The big shots were giving their speeches. So we just waited for awhile for the exciting events to start. After the speech was the lion dance followed by Chinese Acrobatics and then the fireworks displays. There's a bridge called 'Ching Yuan Qiao' where people go there to throw oranges. The event ended at about 11.30pm.

And that is how I celebrated the last day of CNY. Nothing really special but I think this is the first time I celebrate it. hehe..

"HAPPY CHAP GOH MEH!!"

p/s: 2 more days to Jay's concert.

Malaysia's General Election 8/3/2008

2008-02-18T17:56:00.017+08:00

The government said that if we are unhappy, we should speak with our votes. Let's do that! Think well before you vote in the next General Election.

Btw, have you registered yourself for the election? I have done that a few months ago when the SPR people held a free registration booth at Giant Malacca. I just filled in my particulars and the lady told me to check my status from the website later on. I didn't bother about it until yesterday when I receive some forwarded emails saying that we can now easily check our status including the details of the place to cast our votes from this website http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/daftarbi.asp. And it will appear like this:

But I am still not sure if I will be going back that weekend. Hehe..

Last weekend, Onn fetched me back to Malacca for the weekend. He wanted to taste the infamous satay celup @ Ong Kim Wee again.. he missed that satay celup a lot.. As for me, I went back to attend my uncle's open house that Sat night. Onn was saying that he has been to Malacca so many times, but never once been to the Stadthuys to take some photos..so we went there while waiting for the satay celup shop to open. =)

Malacca River

The Stadthuys .. the Dutch Colonial building

@ the top of St. Paul's Hill

somebody's busy enjoying the satay celup.. looked delicious huh..

"Lastly, RIP to Lydia Sum aka 'The Happy Fruit' who passed away yesterday at the age of 61 years old (1947-2008) due to liver cancer. May her soul rest in peace."

P/S: 3 more days to Jay's concert!! I'll be taking LRT to Hang Tuah and then take Monorail to Stadium Merdeka. Any better suggestion on how to get there?? Let me know k. My first time going there.

Valentine's Day 14/2/2008

2008-02-15T13:15:00.015+08:00

I had my 2nd Valentine with Onn yesterday. This special day started on Wednesday midnite after Kung Fu Dunk movie when we were driving back to Nilai from Seremban. On the way back, as the clock ticked 12.00am, and as I almost dozed off in the car.. Valentine's Day was then celebrated. However the next day at work, the thing that I remembered vividly was an email from my friend mentioning a hard time she had at work in that stupid company. I tried to console her and gave her my two sense. It was heart-breaking to see a cheerful girl got down in this situation. Hope she has found her way. =)

After work, I was among the earliest to leave the office. Hehe.. And then, me and Onn exchanged Valentine's pressies. He gave me a furry pinky sweetie deco with a tiny bear in it and 'Flower by Kenzo' perfume and coincidentally I also bought perfume for him as his cK Truth is finishing. I bought him 'Clinique Happy for Men'. The fragrance is light, refreshing and not sharpy at all while mine is like floral-powdery fragrance. I like all of the pressies and I thought that was very thoughtful of him.. We put on our new perfume that night. =)

That night, we had our dinner at Shogun Restaurant in 1U. It's a Japanese buffet RM65++ per pax and we ate till wanna vomit, seriously.. hehe. And on the way to 1U, Onn stopped by MidValley for awhile and fetched a bouquet of roses which he apparently ordered a few days ago for me. It was a surprise. Thanks so much. I was indeed a very happy girl yesterday.. not to mention the super-full stomach.. <3

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, dear.

Thanks for everything...
