The Best Nasi Lemak
Friday, July 30, 2004
I had the best Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice) in KLIA airport for the month of July.
^-^ In fact it is the only one I had for this whole month. Wasn't really hungry, but just can't resist the smell and the feeling that I almost cannot remember.
It was so good ... just soooooooo gooood.
I will spend my 2 weeks to eat all the local food here before I go back to Taiwan again .....

Have anyone ever heard of a credit transaction that takes 30 minutes ? Here is my experience:
Since I am going back to Malaysia tomorrow, I decided to settle the hotel charges tonight. The total amount is about RM6300. But the transaction just cannot go through. The hotel staff called their card center, my bank from Malaysia called me and I just wait and wait and .... wait. It took then 30 minutes to confirm this transaction.
Hm .... Hope this is the last time I experience this.

The fear overshadowed me last night. I wasn't able to sleep until 2 am( I think). Having nightmare the whole night ... dream about my system crash and Mr. Customer want us to bear the cost ...
About 7 am, I just couldn't continue to close my eyes and let the nightmare haunt me. So I got up and just type an email to Mr. C, list down every precaution he need to take note. I pray for a while and finally have a relief in my heart. Started my deep sleep at 8:30 am .....
Just receive an email from my good friend KY, talking about why God lead the Israelite into the dessert for 40 years, instead it will only take them about 11 days. It is to remove their pride and make them to depend on God. After reading that email, my burden is lifted up....
Thanks KY

Had enough of emotion torment these few weeks ... or to be more accurate, few months instead. Suddenly realize I was away from home for 4 months already. I have been traveling to Malacca every week for 5 days since April until June. Whole month of July I am in Taiwan.
I am really tired ... really tired ... On and off I will ask myself : "Why am I doing what I am doing?"
I am living in fear for quite a long time.... and today the biggest fear is to see my customer ... I'm not sure if anyone experienced this before: There is something when you just think about it, you just cannot breath. I had this so often recently.... I cannot breath ... I cannot breath ...
Just hope to get some rest. Tomorrow will be my last day in Taiwan (for the month of July). I will have 2 weeks in Malaysia before I come back to Taiwan again.

10 ways to smuggle a gun
Tuesday, July 27, 2004
Well... I have to think of how to smuggle my gun back to Malaysia. Too many people told me it is not possible to bring it in. Here are some of my thought, feel free to comment or suggest ...
1) Hide inside a metal box - escaped from the X-ray monster (machine)
2) Mix it with some smelly clothes - make the police's best friend(dog) faint
3) Apply some perfume - hopefully the police's best friend sneeze because of this
4) Break my gun into smaller pieces
5) Put into my colleague's luggage (hehehe ...)
6) Go and buy some toy gun and pack them together -> create illusion
7) Hope that the X-ray machine malfunction
8) Pray
9) Pray harder :)
10) Have some free Nasi Lemak (in Jail) in exchange with my gun's safe arrival

In every desert of trial, God has an oasis of comfort
This is not the first time God stretch forth His hand and rescue me during time of need. I was suppose to do a software training this morning and found out the software is a bit buggy. I was so worried about this because the customer was not happy with the system already. I felt that we (our company) has no more reputation due to this problem.
I have tried my best but nothing much I can do about it. So I prayed and believed that God will turn the situation around. and He did !!! Amazing God, Amazing love. The training was smooth .... so smooth that I can't believe it... but I will always trust Him.

World War in Taiwan
Monday, July 26, 2004
:( :< :( :<
World War in Taiwan !!!! ???? Early in the morning in customer's place I heard a bad news ... my customer is expecting us to complete the software to be able to run production before we go back to Malaysia this week. But ...... but we had a meeting last Friday and this wasn't what we agreed on ..... miscommunication again ....
Where are the bosses ?? Where are the bosses?? I get back to them at 12noon and they are supposed to handle this before the customer come and ask me about this ...
Finally about 3 pm, my beloved customer Mr. C came and ask me when will I be letting him to use the machine. Oh no !!!! Seems like no one has contacted Mr. C yet. I tried my best to explain to him about the situation... and I think he is very "understanding", he said "What can be done if I said NO ?" :< and he left ...
I have hung my head on the ceilling to guarantee the system will be ok after 2 weeks. I do not have much choice.
my prayer:
Oh Lord, I know You have allowed me to go through this for a reason. There is only I thing I ask for, that is Your mercy. Do not turn Your face away from me. Amen.

I have planned a trip to Neiwan(Taiwan) since last week. My colleagues agreed with my perfect plan and this is what happen on Saturday 24 July 2004:
I got up at 8:30 am dragging my feet to wash up and then have my daily breakfast in the hotel restaurant. So sleepy...... So tired .... So moodless .... (slept at 3 am) But I'm so exciting because this is my first trip to enjoy since I was in Taiwan 3 weeks ago.
We had some "makeup time" after breakfast and started our journey to the train station. Guess what happen next ...... We miss the train ^_^ . At this moment, I will always remember my good friend PS ( she used to be late for bus, flight countless time :-) heheheheh )
Anyway, we manage to catch the next train at 10:50 am. It takes about 40 minutes to reach Neiwan and time flies ..... phew ..... Finally we are at Neiwan !!!
It is a Hakka village, next to mountain and waterfall. I saw kids in swimming suit, tourist and food stalls all over... It is not as crowded as others told me.
I had a wonderful shopping day there ... I bought 2 pairs of shoes, some souvenir , some local health food and ...... 2 ocarina !!! The ocarina is fun to play with, I bought 2, will give one to my church and another one I will keep it to improve my "musical cell".
We stay until 5 pm and took a train back to city train station, had early dinner (no lunch) and walk back to hotel. I quickly rush to the bath room to prepare my bubble bath ..... Oh , it is so relaxing .... Get my colleague B (Ben) to take some photos for my toy and wanted to upload the picture to fulfill my promise ... But I was so tired and fell asleep at 8:30 pm until this morning 8 am ^-^

Discussion Topic: Is PinkLady a workaholic ?
Friday, July 23, 2004
Mind: hm ... let me think, am I really a workaholic?
Heart: I don't think so, you are just doing what you like to do! Nothing wrong with that. Don't worry.
Left Hand: But ....... I am still hitting the alphabets at his odd hour ( 2 am)
Right Hand: ah ..... you are not alone, I never stop hitting the alphabets too. Thing I hate the most is to carry the mouse and running all over the screen.
Heart: hey , please don't feel that you are over loaded. You guys like your job, right?
Mind,Hands & Eyes: Ya, Heart, we think you are right. Not workaholic, just doing what we like to do. But ...... can we have at least 8 hour rest a day ???

hm... I am so moody since yesterday night. There was a misarrangement with the hotel personnel. I called a taxi to pick up my colleague from airport at 7:45pm. He called me at 8:30pm and said he didn't able to find the taxi driver. I was so shock and worry because he canot speak mandirin..... Oh by the way, he was in Taipei Airport. I called up the hotel personel and they told me I said 9:45 instead of 7:45. I was so mad about the arrangement and so mad about myself :-(
So mad ...... I think my home sick feeling makes me very moody and just feel like just leave everything behind and fly back to Malaysia now.

Praise God
Wednesday, July 21, 2004
I was glad today that God answer my prayer.
Was in Taiwan for about 3 weeks and always wanted to find a church I can fit in. My Life Feelowship Leader also encourage me to get a church and be with God's family.
It is not an easy task fo rme as I do not know any people in Taiwan. So I prayed that God will bring people along my way. Finally today I met one lady in customer's place. She asked me whether I am a Christian or not. Woh .... God is sending her to me at the right time.
Really praise God for that. Although life here is stressful, but it is still under control. If I were to be out of the fellowship with God, that is something I cannot take it.

Found out something very interesting in Taiwan. Heard of "da3 xiang1 chang2" (hitting sausage) ? It is very common here that they have stalls "selling" BBQ sausage in a very special way. You can choose to get your sausage through these 3 ways:
1) Throw a die and if you get 4,5 or 6, you will get a sausage
2) Throw a small silver ball, if you get a score of more then 30, you will get a sausage,60 for 2 sausages and 100 for 4 sausages
3) Just pay 30 dollar (New Taiwan Money) and get your sausage at the collection counter
Now I understand what is "da3 xiang1 chang2". Try it if you have any opportunity to travel to Taiwan.
