Back again ...

2011-09-05T18:34:00.001+08:00

Lost my account for a while and finally I'm back to my blog... Just scrolling through my old posts bring back so much of memories... And then I know it's worth doing this more often....

So Sick.... :(

2011-01-13T20:40:00.002+08:00

I hate it when it's vomiting. Had food poisoning suddenly and vomit nonstop. I can't even differentiate whether I'm hungry or stomachache.

Broke the record even when I was fasting :) 2 slides of bread for the whole day....

Prayed that the sickening feeling goes away when I wake up in the morning... and now, time to sleep again (4th time of the day ).....

Money Matter

2010-12-28T00:33:00.002+08:00

Recently, I have to deal with a lot of money matter that I have never dealt with before. I guess life is getting more interesting as we go on in life....

I spent quick a sum on money get myself some treatment after my slipped disc. Recently met with a bad accident and my car insurance claim is still not settled yet. Not sure whether the insurance company will opt for repair or total lost. This involved too many parties and it's just a big hassle to settle it fully. Either way, I'm still at loss....

However, there are some good news too....
1. EPF suddenly pay me some amount, without any explanation why are they paying me nor is there any calculation attached. :) Just bank in the cheque and find out later, hahaha

2. 2 insurance company paying me some claim & allowance for my hospitalization back in July.

3. A good friend whom I know for a long time pay me back some loan couple of years ago. This is actually what I believe in... the money I loan to people will come back when I need it 1 day....

All these are unexpected income that I really treasured.... Monthly income can't really cover my expenses, especially with ongoing my back treatment...

Thank God for his provision. Waiting for bonus next month, heheheh :)

Funny culture

2010-12-18T19:01:00.002+08:00

:) just felt like posting this funny culture ... memos in the office.

Well, it shouldn't be a big deal for putting up memos in the office, but I find these memo funny:

1. On the wall above 2 dustbin in pantry and near toilet:
Cleaner will be off on Monday and Tuesday is a public holiday. Please throw your food packet outside.

2. On the wall at washing area:
Please pickup your own food left over.
Sila buang sisa sisa makanan ANDA SENDIRI

may be in near future there will be something like :
please wipe the table after use
please mop the floor if you drip anything
please keep the newspaper after reading
please flush the toilet 2 times after your BIG business
tomorrow is public holiday, happy holiday

I'm waiting for more so that I can have a collection of them , hahahahah

Does it matter?

2010-12-05T23:39:00.002+08:00

I think I'm not having a clear mind for a few weeks. Not able to process information or my action logically. Became a very confused person and lost in space :)

I'm asking myself again, what is important for me in life? Why are we living? Am I happy with the short time on earth now? Even if I'm happy, so what? Do I fix my eye on the temporary or the permanent?

Yes, I lost my car in an accident, but I'm still alive.
I'm not wealthy, but I never lack.
I can't help everyone, but at least I can help those who are around me that is in need.

I feel that it's a privilege that I can give in any form to help people. Seriously not because I have a lot to give (actually not enough, any donation is most welcome ^_^), it's the thought that, out of millions of people on earth, I'm chosen to be a blessing....

God's word is always beyond comprehension.
Deuteronomy 16:17
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.

Matthew 6:3-4
But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.

Changes

2010-12-03T23:31:00.002+08:00

Some changes is happening .... hm ... this statement sounds like common sense because I read it in a book long long time ago and it says "the only constant is change”。

Some prominent changes is taking place that seems like guiding/pushing me to move to certain direction in life.c

I feel that I'm entering to a different stage of life soon.. very soon. Because I can sense that it's getting nearer every day....

Are you ready???

Nov 2010

2010-12-01T00:03:00.002+08:00

Several events happen in November that I wanted to blog about it, but it's just too eventful :)

Some highlights of the month of November:

1st November, came back from Korea, a very unusual trip. I did not bring any warm clothing except for 1 thin jacket and 1 long sleeve . The weather was crazy and there was a day it dropped to 2 degree. I couldn't understand why I made this mistake by bring all the shorts, slipper, singlet and I knew it's going to be cold...

18th morning marks the 1st accident for my Honda City. A sleepy woman bang into me when I was driving to work. It's the usual morning traffic that is slow moving. Thank God it's a small accident and she paid for the repair.

2am 20th, after my colleague's birthday party (which is again unusual that I go out so late), got another bang. This time is a serious big bang. Car boot is gone, hit the right divider and swing back ad got hit by another car to the left side. Estimated cost of repair will be >RM10K and it will takes > 1 month. Sigh..

Despite all these, I really thank God that there is no injury to me and my colleague who sit besides me. It's really a miracle looking at the car and no injury at all..

The most happening event will be Camp Madagascar from 25th-27th. 3 full days with the kids and I knew it's going to be tiring LOL.

Been participating for 4 years and this year I feel very different. I start to see the importance of being there, doing what I did. Most encouraging part is, I invited my colleague's 3 kids to join the camp. Even though I was not with them the whole day, but I really happy to see them enjoy the camp and learn something precious.
They never heard the gospel in their life and this is the time they have the chance to heard about it. Whether or not they accept Christ as their Lord now is not under my control, but I did my part by inviting them.

Some sow the seed , some water it. But it's God who give the growth.

Deep Thought

2010-11-01T01:03:00.002+08:00

In deep thought... can't compute, can't decide. The best thing to do now is not to do anything.

Lifetime learning

2010-09-29T00:57:00.002+08:00

Learning to deal with people is a lifetime lesson.
Thank God for different kind of people on planet earth, else it will be so boring...

Hahahaha ... I don't know how long can I look at things positively.

My new friend....

2010-09-03T02:46:00.002+08:00

I received a call on Thursday morning to help to make something and I have to complete it before Saturday... some robots to decorate the room for the children who come on Sunday for "party" :)

Got some help from my nephew to make a WALL-E. Less than 2 hours job.. please meet my new friend: Wall-E:

Found some nice concept from the internet and decided to try to mix and match those technique to create my 2nd new friend :) I call him Macho. Why macho? heheheh I keep adding ideas until Macho is too big (I think). After 4 hours, finally Wall-E has a new friend, please meet Macho:

After putting the light bulb, I suddenly thought of using a goose neck light so that I can actually turn on the light... but, it is already 3 am now, may be I should catch some sleep and continue in the afternoon....

A tour to "hell" - part 1

2010-08-06T11:49:00.004+08:00

I was given a free tour to hell last weekend. Sigh... what a memorable trip....

I drove to church on Saturday and was suppose to help to decorate the room for the children. After I have parked my car, I grabbed my handbag from the passenger seat and of course the nest thing is to get down from my car. A loud sound "kra-ek" and the tour begun... I knew it's not good as the pain is something I had never experienced before. I fell back to my seat immediately hoping the have some relief. Opps... It didn't help, within the next 500 milliseconds, I pulled my seat to be flat and tried to lie straight. The pain reduced but it came back the next second.

I grabbed my phone and called a friend who is in the church, asking her to come down to help me. I did not want to tell her the exact situation, thinking it might not be that bad. After screaming for a few round ( 2-3 seconds each time), I finally saw a familiar face, hm.... it's her husband who appeared. It's difficult to ask for help to pull me out form the car and he will not do it without anyone else around also to avoid any problem :)

After I briefly told him that it might be a slipped disk, he quickly went to inform his wife again. Poor me... waited in the car in great pain and I was very desperate to try anything that might help. I took a deep breath, put my foot down and "ran out" from my car... just wanted to try a standing position, if that could reduce the pain.

Test result negative ... the pain was even greater, so I fell and just kneel on the floor (4th position). Wooowoooo, sooooo painful until I just stick my face and hands to my car body (imagine spiderman without leg, hanging on a wall with hands).

A stranger passed by and saw me, she stopped to check me out by asking "Are you ok"?
"No, I'm not ok"- that was my answer, but inside of me, I was thinking, how can I be ok at this sight? She then prayed for me and after a decade (it's that long I felt), my church members came with a wheel chair. We were not sure whether that helps, but we will try the 5th position- sitting down straight.

It took me another deep deep breath and got up from the ground to sit on the wheel chair... 5th position was a bit better, but the pain attacked me every 30 seconds. Whenever the pain came, i hold my fest tight and scream "ah.. pain .. pain".

After some discussion and asking some opinion from various people, I finally requested to call an ambulance....

Some Photos

2010-07-22T21:11:00.002+08:00

Did not take a lot of photos for my last diving trip because i have been to the same place for 4 years, LOL

Still, something to remember:
1. Our favorite restaurant... almost all the staff there can recognize me. Became VIP customer already over the 4 years, heheheh

2. This small boy is so cute... while I was talking to his father (staff), he just came to me and hug me tight then smile at me... Locely....

3. One of the popular orders among my friends.. Cheese Mushroom Sandwich. I might copy the recipe and try to sell it in KL.

4. This is one of my favorite for the last 3 days.. Chocolate Pancake with Ice-cream. Yummy yummy....

5. Last but not least, Cheese Tomato Toast. It does not taste as good as the Cheese Mushroom but the amoutn of cheese is satisfying

It has been a long time....

2010-07-21T22:16:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time since I can sleep for 12 hours/day. Last week I was on holiday but couldn't really sleep long, automatically woke up at 8am almost everyday. The week before (sigh) deprived of sleep, because only had 5-6 hour sleep daily.

Finally, I slept for 12 hours yesterday. After my shower at 8pm, felt a bit tired. So was thinking to take a nap and then clear up some work. The next moment I open my eye was already midnight, no point doing anything and be zombie the next day... (heheh .. all sort of excuses). Continue until 8 am this morning and get ready for work.

Feel soooo good...... might consider picking that up as my new hobby....

Advanced Open Water

2010-07-19T23:58:00.002+08:00

Had a good trip this year for my advanced open water. Manage to complete the 5 "difficult" test and graduated last week :)

Went to Perhentian for 7 days, 5 days diving + 2 days laze around (just being lazy). Had a very good start but ended not to good..... had a night dive on 4th day and got seasick, it continue on the 5th day. Did not enjoy the last 2 dive as I was very dizzy, breakfast/lunch almost came out and felt really really bad.

Anyway, enjoy the sea, the sand, the turtle that looks like sting ray , ahhahah and some fun moment with friends laughing at each others story. The mystery of the underwater world never fail to excite me, with some fear and expectation.

Next objective: learn to swim....

New Collection

2010-07-08T22:40:00.002+08:00

My new collection today ..... 10 needles. 6 of them was on my neck this morning connected to a voltage generator for 20 mins ....

Sigh.... Injured my neck last night and this morning I felt like my neck is not connected to my body anymore. I couldn't even get up from my bed without getting someone's help.

Went for acupuncture and have this added to my collection....
Not suppose to use computer for at least 3 days, but guess I'm just not listening to the doctor's advise.... went to work still and updating my blog....

God's Blessing

2010-06-29T23:16:00.002+08:00

Had a weird dream 2 days ago... really weird but it stay with me until today.
In my dream, I gave birth to triplet - 1 boy and 2 girls.. (nonsense right?)

Today, on the way back, I got stuck in after school traffic and it was raining, so I was on the road for 40 minutes. However I was quite patient still... Suddenly I saw rainbow and because of the traffic is so bad (car not moving at all), the rainbow become so beautiful... I had a good look at it and it's so amazing, so beautiful.

Then, I remember the promises of God, the covenant of God and the greatness of God. If this is not God, who else?

I start singing and praising HIM in the car and surprises doesn't stop there. Take a look at the sky again, there are 2 rainbows. Waoh ....

The 2 incidents spoke to me that when God blesses His people, He will pour out more than what we expect...

Thank You God .....

Expectation Gap

2010-06-09T22:55:00.002+08:00

Met an old friend and got reminded about a problem that I can't see it myself.... That's why we need friends....

Do I have expectation of myself?
YES
Do I have expectation of others?
YES
Is it a problem to have expectation of myself and others?
I think no....

I do agree that I should not impose my expectation on others. Because we all live our life the way we choose to, God allow it so I can't expect otherwise. BUT...

Hm ... need some time to lay it out on the table and put them in different perspective again ...

Haiz.... I don't really enjoy doing this "exercise" too often as it is very tiring and shake my believe up side down... ok. Sleep first and think about it again soon.

Cooking mood

2010-03-22T00:12:00.007+08:00

Was in cooking mood over the weekend. Woke up on Saturday morning and I quickly went to Giant to get some ingredient to cook a 4 dishes lunch for my family.

DISH #1: Seafood Sinigang

DISH #2: The famous Hakka fried pork with salted veggie

DISH #3: O Hai yo! Arigato! The Teriyaki Squid

Casual Joke

2010-03-15T22:58:00.002+08:00

A friend of mine invited me & my "colleague" for lunch today. Therefore, 3 of us had lunch together. While we were enjoying our food, there's a guy approach me and start talking/promoting. I couldn't remember/bother what he sell because his sales technique totally put me in awe..... hahhaha

"Miss, you are from Union Vector, right?"

I was shocked how he know my company.. ANS: Note 1 below
The next statement is even better.

"I met your big boss last week here, we had a good talk and I would like to share with you also what we spoke"....

(drama version)

"I met your big boss last week here, ............."

( actual version, I can't hear what he was trying to say)

I really can't concentrate in what product he was trying to sell because he just use a lousy technique on the wrong day :). ANS : Note 2 below

I just told him that my boss was oversea last week so he might be talking to the wrong person and I would like to have a peaceful lunch with my friends. (refer to Note 3 Below)

I might believe him if I were eating alone, but not when I was with my "friends".

Note:
1. He can speak it out so loudly because my company name is printed on my lanyard
2. The "colleague" i refer to earlier on is my boss la, opps... sorry, he is my BIG BOSS, hahah
3. One of my boss was in Singapore and 1 sitting in front of me. As far as I know these are the only 2 BIG BOSSES

Thought

2010-03-14T22:28:00.002+08:00

Day after day sun rises and falls
Time after time we stumble and fall
God never leave us after all
Longing for us to give our all

As a human being, I really struggle a lot to live a life that follow Jesus's heart daily. It's easier to talk about what we want to do, our dreams & etc.. But when it comes to a "simple" task like loving your neighbour, brothers, enemy & etc. It suddenly seems so impossible. Yes! It's impossible without God enable us.

"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." Psalm 84:10
- I don't really mind to be with God right now.....

I'm a millionaire now

2010-02-28T23:11:00.002+08:00

Heheheh. Another time becoming millionaire this week :) I've got 2.5 million on Friday... So scary carrying so much money on walking around town. Even though it's 2.5 mil Vietnam Dong , hahahah

Be Glad

2010-02-19T23:35:00.002+08:00

Am reminded about someone ... had a mixed feeling but can't really identify what's in it.

Decided to be glad... be glad that there's someone to be remembered.

Special Bath

2010-02-15T22:12:00.002+08:00

CNY is always a very tiring time for me. As usual, today had a very tiring day went back to mum's home town.

The best thing to do after a long day has to be a good bath. And... this is what happen :(

I used body shampoo to wash my hair and body lotion to wash my body.

It's so weird to shower with body lotion.....

Crazy Monday

2010-01-18T22:53:00.000+08:00

It's crazy... just crazy!!!

Busy Start.....

2010-01-09T21:39:00.002+08:00

2010 starts "busily" (if there's such word) and quickily.... Work load was heavy, birthday celebration, OT, meeting friends, etc ... it just ends in a blink of eye....

Mission Impossible - Love your neighbour as yourself

2009-12-31T23:41:00.002+08:00

I suddenly felt like loving people is such an impossible mission.
God's command to us:
1. Love the Lord your God will all you heart.
2. Love your neighbour as yourself..
...
...

Hm ...

How to love neighbour that put a stupid, crazy dog who barks on leaves, wind and showdow outside of the window of my bedroom?

How to love neighbour who took 1 feet of your space after you gave them 1 inch?

How to love neighbour who say no good things about you but only gossip and spread rumors?

I have no idea.... and now I truly agree that only God can do it; a normal human being will not be able to even give them a smile...

Reflection on year 2009... I've met a lot of difficult people , a lot, may be because I've walked out from the shield that protects me all the while...

There's lessons in life we all have to learn, so... :) face it, learn it and move on, until the day comes....

Birthday Celebration Marathon started

2009-12-30T22:57:00.001+08:00

heheh ..... as usual, my birthday celebration starts 2 weeks before my chinese calendar birth date and 2 weeks after my western calendar birth date. This year is a bit late, it just started today....

Yup, it's my birthday today, The Day (chinese calendar). Self celebration by working OT in the office until 10pm....

Zzzzzz sleepy now...

Long Lazy Weekend

2009-12-28T22:13:00.002+08:00

Had a long weekend, shouldn't have any complaint since it's holiday season. Christmas even and Christmas day were hectic. Then Saturday did nothing ....

Long Lazy weekend .....

Is that real?

2009-12-25T00:11:00.002+08:00

When dreams seems too real and the real world slowly fade off
Do you still know what you are searching for
When darkness come and when lights are off
Can you hear the small still voice in your heart

How good it is if all your dreams can come through
Everything that you ever ask for
But it only happen when you are asleep
One day you will have to wake up

Clean clean car ....

2009-12-06T19:01:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time since my car stay "clean" ^_^ reason being it only got washed when it rains, also given i'm on the road.

Last 2 weeks I sent my car for washing before I lend it to someone. When they return the car to me, it was washed again. Hehheehh it got washed twice within a week, sooooo clean :)

Lazy Mood

2009-12-03T21:57:00.002+08:00

Left my blog for a month already... Many reasons that cause it to happen :
1. Lazy
2. Busy
3. No internet
4. Lost in wonderland...

Too tired to write any story right now as well :)

Busy week....

2009-11-08T23:00:00.002+08:00

Been a super busy week... Brother admitted to hospital... and I have been running in and out of hospital, taking care of the children. Interestingly, there are many happening events. On top of the busy moment, it just become more busy :)

Family Time

2009-11-01T23:00:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time since my last family eating out dinner... Just now had a so called family dinner (except for brother, sis in law and nephew, who had another dinner appointment).

I'm quite happy with the restaurant (in Sri Petaling). The food was served eeeextremely fast. We were waiting for 1 table to be cleaned after the previous customer left, ordered food, ordered a pot of tea and start setting up the table. While we were still pouring the tea for everyone, food was served... hahahaha even faster than cooking a pack of instant noodle at home. It's amazing!!!!

Food was good too.
1. Salted egg crab - not too salty and there's a lot of egg york. taste good
2. Wet Butter crab - creamy but not too thick, good also :)
3. Herbal Chicken Soup - Strong herbal soup, a bit salty , still acceptable
4. Asparagus prawn - prawn & vege also fresh, cant go wrong
5. Tofu - quite special. it's their chef's special....

Total cost RM175 for 7 adult + 2 kids.... quite reasonable I think. Will visit them again :)

The only thing that is not so nice about the dinner was towards the end of it... I was about to finish the last 2 pieces of crab with my brother, heard the boss telling 1 of the customer: " Ah,, you wait for this table la" (pointing at my table). Then they all stand around the table looking at us... and you know, eating crab is different from eating fish ball where you can just pop it into your mouth. So what I can say is that, I wasted the last piece of crab, didn't enjoy eating it at all... Didn't even manage to enjoy a cup of tea after that...

Next time, try to get a table that is more secluded ....

Year End

2009-10-25T22:55:00.003+08:00

As the month of October going to an end soon... 2009 will be gone pretty soon as well. Thinking in my heart, what have I achieved this year? Errr.... Hmm .....

Nothing significant, nothing special, nothing remarkable, nothing to be happy about, nothing to be remembered, nothing to look forward, nothing it is....

I don't like to live a life of spotlight, so I guess I might enjoy a life of nothing where I'm not visible, not significant... but then it seems so tiny right now... What is life if time passes and there's nothing significant that we can remember?

Another attack

2009-10-20T22:06:00.002+08:00

After my stomach virus is gone, it's something new now... Ulcers!!!! 6 at the same time, you must be kidding me...

Started with 1 on Thursday afternoon , 2 on Friday, grow to 4 on Saturday and finally 6 on Sunday...

Can hardly talk or eat.. Even sleeping is a problem because my teeth scratches them on my lips, goshs.... ulcer ulcer go away,

Stomach malfunction

2009-09-30T21:44:00.002+08:00

Arrrgghhhh... been eating bread only for 2 days and stomach was a bit better. Then I decide to have a bowl of Pan Mee for lunch, + 1 small slice of chocolate cake (colleague's bday), still feeling ok. Hm... Dinner, let's have porridge. Everything seems ok, but then the next thing that happen is vvoooovooooomit! AGAIN!

I have a funny feeling that my stomach is malfunction, hence it cannot digest food that goes in and it will automatically come out form the mouth.
Seen doctor again and get more medicine, that's all. 2 more days, I might be able to find out why...

Stomach Problem

2009-09-27T22:54:00.002+08:00

Last night about 10pm++, I felt so bad and then I start vomiting. Arrrghhh.. this is the 2nd time within this month. Last week vomited for 2 days followed by 2 days of diarrhoea.

back to what happen last night.... After vomiting about 10+, I thought of going to sleep. But about 11:30pm, the food can't stay still in the stomach and all came out..
Went to hospital at midnight and guess what the Doctor told me : Your stomach is throwing temper..

Errrr .. huh ? Is there a better answer to this? Duhhh....

Samui Photos

2009-09-23T21:54:00.002+08:00

More photos from Koh Samui Trip:

Holiday @ Koh Samui

2009-09-16T20:42:00.004+08:00

Holiday ?? Hm ... it's too short to be called a holiday for me. I would rather call it a "getaway".

Feeling lazy to write story due to food poisoning yesterday and still feeling weak now.. So will just post some pictures here and write some stories later :)

1st time flying with Firefly. Quite impressed with it because they serve refreshment - muffin + drink

Once we enter the room, we were welcomed by a pair of white, beautiful swan. Unfortunately, just 5 minutes after that, I've turned it into this...

Day and night view of the Hotel.

Very happy with this picture... It has to be good because I only have 3 hours sleep, it better be good :)

Food show off time: Seafood omelete, BBQ pork rib, chicken and beef. Last but not least, fried banana with coconut.

I'm "dead" rich :)

2009-08-31T18:19:00.001+08:00

Since I'm quite free today, so decided to just do some filing and settle some super over due task... Activated a few of my credit card (replacement for the expired card). Found out that those bank has increased my credit limit. well... it shouldn't be a bad thing but since my last experience of fraud card, I'm concern if it happen again, I'll be so dead.

Long Weekend

2009-08-29T22:14:00.002+08:00

It's a long weekend this week. Guess lots of people have plans to go for holiday... For me this will be a good time to rest; not going anywhere. The kids are away with my parents, this will be the perfect time for me to "do nothing".. yeah !

No Achievement Day

Had a NAD on Saturday....

Task 1:
Action Plan: Decided to make a trip to meet up with doctor to discuss on some critical point of my medical report.
Result: The clinic is closed on Saturday for the 1st time ... lucky me...

Task 2:
Action Plan: Drop by SS2 to buy ink cartridge for my brother.
Result: Shop #1 doesn't sell this model of cartridge. Shop #2 does cartridge refill, that means I have to bring my cartridge for refill ... mission failed

Task 3:
Action Plan: Buy some material to alter my dress.
Result: Shop #1 doesn't have the color I wanted. Shop #2 doesn't have the material i wanted... mission failed

Task 4:
Action Plan: Sleep
Result: Nephew had his portion of sleep when I was just 10 mins on my bed. He woke me up to play with him... Grummpy...

Task 5:
Action Plan: Buy Vitagen/Yakult since doctor said it's good to kill the bac in my stomach.
Result: It pours when I just got my car key ready, laziness creeps in and plan was delayed

My Saturday is just like that ..... :(

My Stomach- The perfect place for Bacteria

2009-08-21T23:45:00.003+08:00

Collected my medical report today and I got a super high score for this H.Pylori Bacteria. No idea what it is until I read on and notice I have been having some symptom of stomach uncomfortably. I always assume it might be due to over-eating or skipping meal... :) going to see the doctor to find out how many more months can I live....

Helicobacter pylori bacteria:
A bacteria found in the lining of the gastric system which can cause stomach infections resulting in conditions such as peptic ulcer disease, dyspepsia and gastritis. Occasionally, the bacterial infection may even lead to gastric cancers. The bacteria may exist in some people without causing any symptoms.

Glad to be SICK ??!!!?

2009-08-13T00:45:00.002+08:00

Was sick over the weekend. Had no idea what causes it but the only thing I did was watching movie in KLCC and had dinner after that. Felt not so good at night after dinner and the next day caught a fever.

Though I hate being sick because it gives me the feeling of being useless :) however I got a good rest (without a choice). The medicine just made me drowsy and I couldn't do anything else beside sleep.

Another benefit of falling sick is... weight lost, that is sooooo automatic without a need to cut calorie intake or sweat it out... :)

Recovering already and the 2 things I will miss during my SICK period will be my sleep and weight lost....

My new car....

2009-08-08T23:35:00.002+08:00

Got my car back for a week already. Gave it a new heart(engine) and was hoping it will be in good condition so that I can still enjoy its service for another 5-10 years....
Heard some weird sound 2 days ago, decided to send my car back for a check-up.

Got a confirmation that was just a minor sound caused by rainy weather. Felt quite good after that and decided to change my temperature meter as well since it always give me wrong reading (super cold or boiling hot)... spend some time talking to the "surgeon" and i got full confidence with my NEW CAR.

Tested it with 140km/hour on the highway and it's very stable, very happy with it now :)

I made a guy cry in front of me

2009-07-24T00:05:00.002+08:00

It happen today, I made a guy cry in front of me. Errrrr... I don't think my words was sharp until that extend... hm.....I was just telling facts, and I think I've done it very carefully and not very direct. How can that happen?

Whta's after death?

2009-07-23T00:12:00.002+08:00

What's after death?? A new beginning, a cleaner beginning (may be)!!??

My laptop's hard disk got a sudden death 2 days ago. Died in split second, too shock for my to accept the fact, but whatever happen, I have to just accept it. The worse news is that, I have no backup of it (what a mistake!!)

Well, got a new hard disk and it's running now. Everything start from fresh...

somehow I can accept the fact that "the end of something leads to a new beginning of something else" ...

What a weekend I had ....

2009-07-19T22:49:00.001+08:00

Had a very stressful weekend, totally not my weekend.... :(
Let me start to think what type of weekend I want to live and I will work towards it....

Learn another new things...

2009-07-17T18:47:00.002+08:00

Was just so into learning new things and guess what ... I learned another new thing (that has been around for ages) again today !

Okie, this is what I learn:

If anyone need help, they will ask you
If they didn't ask , don't bring it up, you are just another KeppoChi (being busy body)

Headache......

2009-07-17T00:07:00.002+08:00

Been having headache since last week in Perhentian Island. May be because of my fever, might be seasick, freezing cozy room + hot beach wether, late night sleep, looking at pixels on my laptop screen , hair too long & heavy, etc etc...

Whatever reason it is, I hate having headache !!!

Learning new things

2009-07-16T00:21:00.002+08:00

I like to learn new things. It makes the brain turn a bit, and discovering new thigns is fun. It started long long time ago:

When I write my 1st computer program in Basic, I felt like it's a new discovery.
When I learn how to assemble a PC on my own, I felt like I can assemble a rocket.
When I manage to get my diving license, it's like a whole new world waiting for me.

and now, I'm glad that I have the opportunity to learn designing. I might not be able to produce a great work anywhere near a professional designer, but I felt I'm a little bit more complete, I do not need to depends on others when I need something.

I always know things can be done if we have the determination to make it happen.
When there's a will, there's a way!!!

A small silly story... recently, someone told me "It's impossible to complete the task I requested because it's very dangerous to play with frequency". (note the word being used is : impossible)

I hate it when the he conclude it with just a stupid statement like this. Am I a fool to accept the reason as it is? If I (just a programmer back then) am still alive playing with Xray machines, Xray generator, frequency generator & etc, how can designing a low frequency tarnsmitter and receiver kill??

You see?? If I have not learned throughout the years of working("living" should be more accurate), I might accept the statement and be a fool.

I learn to know what can be done and what is a real "impossible".
I learn to know how to get things done.
I learn to know what is required to get thigns done.
I learn to be independent.
I learn to be more complete.
I learn because it makes life more fun.

Some Pictures

2009-07-14T21:16:00.003+08:00

Preparing to start a new day, but the weather is not good

Cheese mushroom sandwhich, taste good, but not good to have it before diving

Diving Story

2009-07-13T22:29:00.002+08:00

Felt very angry because I started to sneeze and caught a flu the day before my flight to Perhentian Island. I know I wont enjoy as much if I fall sick. I do not want to cancel the trip also because it was since 10 months ago. Got so much of work to clear and emails to send out before I go for long leave.... Last minute shopping hoping to get a good full length swim suit to protect myself from some minot injuries, etc etc ... finally finished packing, shopping, e-mailing at about midnight , Gosh... only left with 5 hours sleep

Arrived at the island about noon time and felt so sick. Can feel the fever is on its way. Thank God that afternoon there's no dive class. We were only given the Open Water Manual to read and prepare for exam. About 6pm, I felt the fever already and got 2 panadol from roommate and try to sleep at 7:30pm :)

Felt better after a good sleep. Fever was gone, but flu was still bad. Still want to go for diving, but with fear , hahahaha because I know it's more difficult to dive with flu. The 1st incident starts here :) I also felt backward when I try to carry the tank. Under estimate the weight of the tank when Instructor let go, ahhah. Survived 1st Dive. Yeah !!!

No casualty so far, it's really a good news, only thing is, I got some injuries on both legs due to not able to control my buoyancy underwater. Most of the time I was only crawling on the seafloor and got scratched by dead corals.

Started to have more confident, so I was moving quite freely, took picture with Nemo ! and suddenly... 1 of our friend went missing, Instructor asked to stay still and wait for him to come back..
Tada, I fell down into a gap between 2 table top corals. Oh no!!!! That is so "malu-fying" (shameful). Firstly, I also destroy some corals. Secondly, how can I fell down in the water?

Christine The Diver.....

2009-07-11T22:24:00.000+08:00

It's done, finally!!!!!

2009-07-11T13:00:00.000+08:00

Hahahahha sounded like some execution just happened. It's just my Open water at perhentian for past 1 week.

Lots of story to tell, being joy, fear, fun, stress & etc...

On the way to airport from jetty now. Once I'm back to KL, should have time to write some stories & put up some picture....

Yeah..... Christine, the Diver !!!!

It's just another week

2009-06-28T22:18:00.002+08:00

Wah ... my long waited diving trip is just around the corner. It's kind of like exiciting and yet scary. I'm definitely going to do this, at least once in a life time. Been having the mind set that I only live once, what do I have to loose trying differnt things? Worst case senario, I will loose my life. That itself, might not be a bad thing, hahahhaha Because I can get an early retirement.

Not really prepared yet for this trip as I need to buy a few gadgets and also some junk food, some entertainment, books (hahaha as if I have time for those). Most important thing should be the money ^_^

REST

2009-06-26T00:25:00.002+08:00

Been working for the past 3-4 Saturday, finally I will be getting a rest soon.... Took leave so that I can have a good rest. Hope it will be a good weekend.

Never will I be a customer to MBF again

2009-06-11T22:15:00.002+08:00

I became a MBF card member 2 years ago because it's giving away a free lugguage that I like.. Ended up with so much so problem that I made a police report.

There's a fraud case of my credit card. Upon reporting the case, they asked just to wait for their investigation result before I take any action ( I requested to see the CCTV, want to know who is that and whack the fella ^_^ ). After waited for a long 3 months, they are veyr "kind" to waive for me Rm200+ petrol station trasaction which does not require any signature, but asked me to pay for RM4xxx trasaction that the signature is like drawing a turtle on the paper.

!@%*!@^%#^!@(^!* Are they mad?
the best answer from them is " This is a sophisicated chip base high technology card which does not require signature verification." BULLSHIT !!! Why do I need to sign at the back of the card and why do I need to sign upon purchasing any item?

Since then, their staff Rxxxx been calling me 3-4 times a week to ask for payment.
I told her I've contacted FMB (Financial Mediation Bureau) to investigate, but she dare to shout at me
R: "You don't bluff me and try not to pay! I'm asking you to pay now"
me: "Are you threathening me to pay now?
R: "Yes. I am threathening you to pay."
me: " I'm recording this conversation. Can you repeat 1 more time of what you said just now?"
R: "Yes. I am threathening you to pay now."
me: " Give me a few second, I'm driving now, let me park my car at the side and talk to you."
R: "doooooooo" ( line cut off)

I made a police report at that night itself for the threat.

Never will I be a customer to MBF again. Think twice friends....

Hush Puppies Fever

2009-06-08T22:32:00.003+08:00

Mum suddenly became a fan of Hush Puppies after she bought a few HP shirt few months ago. She like the material and quality compare to other brand. She had been asking me to bring her to buy some HP shirt since January, but I was just too busy to do so... Finally HP warehouse sales was on going for 2 weeks.

She just couldn't wait and bought 3 HP shirt from Jusco (Jusco Sales) on 31st May.
I wanted to apply leave to go for the warehouse sale :) but can't really find time to do so... Finally, made my time there and these are my purchases. 15 pieces for my family (dad, brothers, kids, mum and myself of course) at RM255. good buy good buy

China girl expereince....

2009-05-31T23:16:00.003+08:00

Today I had another new experience that add into my life journal....

Deng Deng.. (cut the long story short, I was at Pusat Sains Negara at 2:30 pm with my niece and nephew)

Once I enter the main entrance, the officer approach me and ask if I could communicate with a girl. She speak in Mandrin, asking me where is the washroom. Hahahah I thought what big deal it is, so it's settled.... Oppsss no no no, not so monotonous la.... The next question she asked was "Do you know whether they sell Digi reload card here or not? (with ONE BIG drop of tear rolling down from her right eye).

I told her I will check for her and let her know after she is out from the toilet later. She rushed to toilet and the officers start asking me what happen, where is she from, why was she crying and etc etc ... (hahahahah, how do I know so many things ^_^ )

At that moment, I was trying to ask myself also what is happening ans why would she cry just because she can't get a Digi reload card, there's a public phone available... I have to confess that I was very careful, trying to avoid to be on the headline of a local newspaper the next day

"Innocent lady being conned by China girl, ended up with a total loss of RMxxxx"

I was thinking, hmm.. she might asked me to lend her my handphone then run away with it, she might asked me for money, she might asked me to follow her to a quiet place then kidnap me, the list went on and on...

After 5 mins of waiting outside of the toilet, she finally called me to go into the toilet for she want to talk to me... My niece and nephew were very curios, but I was not sure whether she is friend or foe... I got my niece and nephew to be with the officer and then I walked in to the toilet to talk to her.

... to be continued tomorrow ...

The story continues here:

She asked me the same question again, she wanted to get her card charged, but she doesn't know her phone number and she can't call out at all. I gave her some coins to use the public phone, but she refuse to take them and said that she has money, all she wants is to charge her card or to get a taxi. She is running away from someone and she can't be found by this biy friend.

" I want to go back to China, but my boyfriend doesn't allow. I don't want to go back to his house anymore, I just want to go back to China" blah blah blah...

Finally I offer her to give her friend a call to pick her up. I called this guy called Ah Wai, and he got totally no idea where is Pusat Sains Negara, Damansara, Mount Kiara, Hartamas, PJ section 16 & 17.... and he is at KLIA. I told him to call me when he is somewhere near by or ask around to get to this place...

After that, I brought my niece and nephew into the Science Center, having to watch them and answer this guy Ah Wai's phone call every 5 mins.... Super stressed

At about 4pm, Ah Wai finally arrived and he can't contact the girl (Chi Chi) because he cant remember her phone number. I went out to look for her inside the toilet, she wasn't there and then the office told me she went to the cafe... and Finally.... found her and brought her to Ah Wai. When Chi Chi saw Ah Wai, her tears just flow down and both of them thank me for the help. When I see the tears form her eye, even though I don't know what happen that cause that fear in her to go back to the boyfriend, I can sense the relief in her and the gratitude.

She might have a bad experience in Malaysia, bad impression about Malaysian, into that place of losing hope in life. I just pray that she can also see God's love and God offer hope no matter how disappointed we are.

My Wira on Smoke....

2009-05-25T21:29:00.002+08:00

Been a while since I last updated my blog.... nothing much besides going to work from Monday to Friday, then busy with my niece and nephew during the weekend.

Was shocked yesterday when my best car WIRA on smoke :) thank God I was just in front of my house, 30 seconds to the parking space. Some burnt smell was very strong, smoke came out from the bonnet, so I immediately off my car engine even though I have no clue at all what happened.

Open the front bonnet and guess what ? :) more smoke came out from it, hahahah.... Left the car there until evening about 7 pm, push it to the side (btw , it was in the middle of the road in front of my house since 3pm).

Got a call today that the aircon compressor is gone, and it affected the aircon fan belt also... engine oil not enough, temperature meter not working, some pipe is stucked, etc etc... hm .... should I fit them all? or change another car? have to think harder tonight ....

holiday

2009-05-01T09:51:00.000+08:00

It's labour day today, on the way to Pahang now. So tired.... Hahahah boring by just sitting in the car ;)

Time Flies

2009-04-18T23:03:00.002+08:00

Was browsing my blog and trying to recall the history of this blog ....
As I was reading my old entry , I couldn't stop laughing :) I was so funny, so talented ===> a good writer, hohohoho

it's fun to read my own blog. Like a story book ... 1 day, I might make it into a booklet so that I can read it when I have free time :)

What? No more Swimming Lesson?

2009-04-11T20:36:00.002+08:00

Today is my 2nd swimming lesson, instructor is happy with my progress and I can go to level 2 very soon ... However the bad news I got from the management of Butki Jali Golf Club is thay :

Notice:
Starting from 1 May, Michael Ong will not be Swimming Instructor and cannot conduct any swimming class in Bukit Jalil Golf Club anymore.

Asked the staff why they never inform when I sign up 2 weeks ago ( 3 days before the notice). They said don't know . Asked about the money I've paid, they said don't know :(

Asked Michael, he also said don't know as the management only inform him 3 days ago.

Haih ..... Why are there soooooo much of hurdle ? I just want to learn swimming .. Hahahah in a way, felt guilty because may be because I'm so "sui" (bad luck) until the instructor lost his job, hahahah

Story of the Babi Hutan

2009-04-08T22:25:00.002+08:00

Have you heard of the story of the babi hutan??

Once upon a time, there was this group of youngster in a car going to haev their delicious, long waited dinner... the traffic was a bit heavy and there's a bit of rain, the traffic condition made it difficult to have a smooth ride. Suddenly, Friend A says to driver : "Hey, you drive like babi hutan la"...

^_^, driver's fast response: "What a previlege you have, have you ever seen any babi hutan that can drive?"

AHahah ... since that time onwards.. my new nickname is "Babi Hutan"

Funny :) a babi hutan that drive a Wira?? :)

1st swimming .. Finally

2009-04-05T19:52:00.002+08:00

4th April is an important date foe me ;) because it's my swimming class again. Weather was not very good but thank God it rained at about 2pm and stopped before my class.

I was quite lost in the beginning, have no idea what should I do and no orientation from the swimming institution. They just ask me to change and get a "green card" (beginner) then go into the pool... :( without a clue who is the instrcutor and what to do, I just go into the pool and wait as instructed..

Finally, instructor came to collect the green card and found out there are about 30 students and only 3 instructors. Eddie (my instructor) asked me to join the class later instead because too many student. (oh no....)
"what am i suppose to do for the next 45 mins? This is my 1st lesson, I have no idea what to do..."

I was so angry with the whole arrangement:
1. Instructor was late
2. Too many student (suppose to be 6 person group)
3. I feel so cheated with this whole idea of promising statement but quality of service is not there

Anyway, Eddie gave me a few mins to find out my level and told me to start practicing my leg movement until the next class (45 mins later)

I really appreciate Eddie's time, even though I'm suppose to start my class in the next 45 mins, but he did give me tips and encouragement.
"very good, keep practicing"
"very nice move"
"you are doing good"
These are the statements motivate me a lot...

45 mins later, they swap the instrutor and guess what .. there are 7 in my group (beginner), some are 3rd lesson, 5th lesson, 1st lesson & etc...
This instructor did not give much attention to me and just said "practise la". He didn't even give me any feedback/comment at all until I asked him "Can you take a look at my movement and let me know correct or wrong?"

Really disappointed with this instructor. At the end of class, Eddie came again to check with me if everything OK. Again, I feel better because this is what I'm paying for... not the step 1,2,3 like the video.

Feel so unhappy but then at the same time glad that I have some progress. I'll practise harder to make it to level 2 soon....

1st swimming class

2009-03-29T23:05:00.002+08:00

Well.... it didn't happen :) Not my problem at all because I have already made myself available, drove to the swimmming club on time for registration and ready to go to the pool. But then..... it was raining heavily at that time. Class was cancelled. The only step taken is that: I have registered and paid for 12 lessons. Next class will be 4 April. See what happen then......

1st Swimming class ... coming soon.

2009-03-28T10:57:00.000+08:00

Family Fight

2009-03-22T22:58:00.002+08:00

Very bad mood today because there's another family fight (again) in the afternoon. So right after dinner, I just drove off to Midvalley. Thought of having a cup of drink at Starbucks but I can't take coffee, else I'll be poisoned and faint.

End up in MPH and pick up a book, then start reading it. After an hour, I bought the book and plan to have a cup of drink again... However, I was attracted by Jusco sales and then bought 3 pieces of working clothes....

Finally at 10:30pm, family start calling me to check out where I am. So, here I am blogging about this stupid event...

Tada..... 7 hours ago
Got super irritated by niece due to her unreasonable attitude & not teachable, show no respect to elder & etc... decided to teach her a lesson....(cut the long story short). I was fightting with my niece and nephew (until blue black on my body)....

What a joke, fight with a 7 years old niece.... Sigh....

My Australia Travel Incident #2

2009-03-13T21:43:00.000+08:00

On a saturday morning, my friend and I joined a Blue Mountain tour, so we woke up early in the morning (7am) and took bus to town. There was a guy following at the back of my friend, even though I feel a bit wierd, but Austrlia is a country of Freedom :) anyone can walk anywhere they like.

After sometime, the guy was walking behind me, I don't really like it, thinking I was blocking him, so I just move aside. Then he start talking to me . "Do you xxxx?"
hm... I can't really catch Aussie's slang. I turn over my head and then start computing in my head, what was he asking me?

ah .... he was asking me "Do you like my cock?" with his pants down and hands there.. oh my God!

Anyway, due to my slow response in computing (>5 secs), I did not have time to react to his action, hahahah

What an incident to start my day....

My Australia Travel Incident #1

2009-03-12T21:29:00.002+08:00

Felt like driving and visit some places in Sydney, so I rented a car and travel with 3 other friends :) my adventure starts early in the morning....

- friends woke up late and we missed the bus
- Don't know how to use the GPS system
" in 300 meter, keep right and make a u-turn"
"recalculating.... in 200 meter, keep left and make a u-turn"
hahaah ... lost 1 hour, got lost in the city :)
- 1st stop is winery :) i almost got drunk because of free wine tasting :)
- lost some time here and there waiting for each other
- time passed very fast .. we only manage to visit 4-5 places and it's 5pm, they are all closed

At night, heheh this is the highlight of the day... since we got a car, I was thinking to drive to the StarCity Casino. Drove there and I got a shock when I saw the parking price list - $22 per entry , hahahh without trying my luck, $22 already gone.

After 1 of my friend heard that, he laughed like mad " hahahah , where got people drive there one? Just walk across the bridge la..."

yeah... I know, the only thing I didn't know is that the parking is sooooooo expensive, it's unbelievable....

Interesting Weekend Encounter

2009-02-22T19:25:00.001+08:00

I had an very interesting weekend that I couldn’t explain it with words. Friday was not a very good day; there are a lot of decisions to make, challenges to face. But after a long day, I felt drained, exhausted, aimless.

On Saturday, decided to have a relax day out. Went to TheRocks market, took a walk at the Botanic Garden, took some pictures of the Sydney Opera House and….. tried taking a ferry (hahahah sounded like a big thing…motion sickness halfway ^_^)

Went back to the city and decided to go to Hill Song Church for their 8pm service. Sekali I checked, service was at 6pm, hahhah missed it again. Well I’ll surely make it for Sunday Service.

Tada…. Sunday morning, woke up at 7:50am trying to make it to the 9am service. Firstly I forgot to bring my wallet, have to run back and forth in order not to miss the bus. Got down at wrong bus station, but thank God the kind driver saw the confusion in my face and waited for me, hahhaah

Walk and walk until I found the street, and ahha they have a special service today in the Capital Thether in town and I just missed the church’s last shuttle bus.

Arrggghhhh so many things happen to stop me from going to church. But I will not be defeited… heheheh

Finally, I made it to the 9 am service. It has been a great time to be in God’s presence again. I was soooo dry and I need God so badly.

Had a swim in the afternoon and felt so free in the water. Got a bible and will remind myself to read it daily. I will try…..

Try to upload some picture soon...

2nd Post from Sydney...

2009-02-15T14:55:00.002+08:00

Been through another week. It has been raining everyday, cold temperature of 17-22 ++++ strong wind... WooWOOO .. the longest pant I had with me was a 3/4 jean, the warmest cloth will be a RM10 T-Shirt... hahahah ...

It has been a stressful week as I have a mission to achieve in Australia before I can go home, but then things doesn't seems to be moving fast enough. Wanted to give up and I then I can do other things as well, but then the "small ego" in me is telling me "hey, you have not even tried hard enough, and you are giving up right now?"

Well :) Which of us doesn't face stress in life? I'll take up the challenge and overcome it.

***
Just checked out HillSong Church and found that it's just in the middle of my Sydney Office & apartment. hohohoh ... but then today's schedule is not well planned... Will be visiting them next week. Got an order from friend to buy hillsong CDs, hahahaha

-> Bus driver suddenly stopped the bus after another 2 stops... waiting for police to come and investigate (oh no....)
-> Made a mistake of not getting off the bus and walk home (15 mins)
-> Police came and now, if we want to go off, we haev to leave our particulars and they need to perform some interview...
-> Reach our apartment and my colleague can't find the house key, ahhaahh great !!
-> Sooooo happen today is the only day the other housemate got a late dinner appointment...
-> All shops closed and no one entertain us, hahaha
-> Sit at the park nearby and "chill out" (really chilly when the wind blows...)
-> After 20 minutes, my colleague found the house key in her bag, hohooho
-> went back finally at 11pm.

Incident #2:
=============
Decided to go to Melbourne with my colleague for the weekend. We wanted to take train down and flight back to Sydney, so that we can experience making train in Australia....

-> Friday 5pm, a customer confirm an appointment last minute so we have to extend our stay in Melbourne.
-> Rushed back home to take some former clothing
-> Rushed to Train Station and we were just on time for our train
-> Train delayed for 2 hours !!!!! ARgghhhh
-> Halfway (total of 10hr 50mins journey) , trained stopped for an hour due to another train stall halfway...
-> Train got terminated before we reach Melbourne, this is because the railway track can't take the heat
** Melbourne experience the heat that they have never been since 18xx (>40 degreeC for 3 days in a row)
-> Train service got terminated and we haev to take coach. Oh NO!!!!
-> Another hour delayed
-> Sit in the coach for another 3 hours before I finally arrived in Melbourne. A good 15 hours experience
...

The Story doesn't end here. It's 11pm now and my customer just email us that he want to postpone tomorrow's meeting ^o^ I'm flying back to Sydney, not here anymore after tomorrow le

-> Let's see what happen tomorrow ...

Revisiting Australia after 10 years .....

2009-01-18T21:00:00.002+08:00

I'm going to visit Australia again very soon, and this is the 10th year since my last visit there...

Have some kind of expectation :) Not sure it's good or not ..

Wel..in another 2 weeks time, I'll be there and this time I'll surely try something different ther, hahaah

Today is the day

2009-01-09T00:07:00.001+08:00

Today is the day.... I bought another digital camera again ;)

Again ??? yes...
Here is the history of my camera

1. Nikon

Lifespan of 1 year , reason of death: dropped

2. Nikon

Lifespan of 1.2 years, reason of death: went swimming in the sea of Phuket

3. Olympus

Lifespan of 3 years, lost for 6 months and found again, 2 months later, heart failure (XD card gone)

4. Nikon S200

Lifespan on 3 months, reason of death: big mistake by passing it to a 6 year old

And now... the latest addition from 1 hour ago, is my new toy,hm ... let's name it Lunie - Lumix TZ2

What I like the most is actually the ALL RISK WARRANTY that I can claim even if it's stolen or dropped *by accident*. This itself I think worth the price of RM699. hahahah they didn;t know my hostory yet, til then it's too late for them ...
All the best to Panasonic....

Oh yeah .. I remember my birthday this time

2009-01-03T23:32:00.002+08:00

Before I forget, I just want to wish myself a very happy birthday :) I forgotten my "the other" birthday last month, hahahah ...

Gifts/dinner/cash are welcome :) my birthday celebration window start from my chinese lunar birth date til 1 month after my western calander birthdate. ^_^

So Happy Birthday to me :) & sweet dream

Stepping into 2009

2009-01-01T02:00:00.002+08:00

I have had no idea what I really wish/hope for year 2009. Until the very last couple of minute before 2008 end, I know what I want...

I asked for God's goodness and His Glory to shine in my life and my family.
I will pray this same prayer for all my friends as well, though I have no idea where did this come from and how can it be....

Year End Year Begin

2008-12-23T20:36:00.002+08:00

Christmas is around the corner again, which means it's another Year End and Year Begin. Year 2008 is a very eventful year for me, hahah...... too lazy to list it down here. As for Year 2009.. I guess I have to start planning it soon ...

LIGHT cannot be hidden

2008-12-08T23:17:00.002+08:00

Just something that trigger me to think "aimlessly"

A firefly had stayed with her family and friends for many many years. 1 day she decided to move to another place to start a new life. She doesn't want too much attention and plannig to live a simple life that she desires all the while. The 1st thing she need to do is to cover the light from her body and not to let others know she is a firefly, she just want to be unknown in the community of fruit fly.
However whenever the sun set, she glows... and there's no way the light can be covered.

We are who we are and that is fact, nothing can change it. No matter how much we desire not to be known; No matter how much we want to hide; One day, one day we will be found....

====================
On a more relax note : go and watch "Along Came polly" then you will know the story of the Hippo :)

Busy ...

2008-12-04T18:45:00.002+08:00

SOOOOOOO busy today :)

from the moment I step into office until 4pm:
- drink 1.5 l of water (normally 3-4 l)
- went to toilet twice
- my backside only left my chair 2 times

:(

Finally I took a break from 4-5 , haahh my lunch break ??

Time to go back now...

Self Discovery

2008-12-02T21:41:00.002+08:00

Pink Lady is at the stage of discovering more of herself. At a different stage of life, we will start to discover area of ourself that we never know....

Kind of like enjoying the moment now....

PinkLady is so terrified :(

2008-11-29T19:33:00.002+08:00

Last night was the most terrifying moment for me :(

I was sick and had my medicine before I went to bed. Woke up at 11pm, 1am, time at night just not feeling so well. However at 4am +, I heard a loud noise, sounded like someone is trying to break in from my back door. Like hammering my lock away....

I hesitated, should I lock myself in my room and let the guy take whatever he wanted or should I be brave and go downstair to take a look?
Arrghhhh I have nothing to defense myself :(

I shouted from my room and there's no reply.. So I went out from my room and on the staircase light. No one around, and then out of the sudden, I heard my neighbour shouted "Pencuri!!! Pencuri !!!" (thief !! thief!!!)

I opened my glass door and shout back "Mana Pencuri?? Saya panggil polis" (Where is the theif? I call police yeah"

I called the police and checked out how's my neighbour. Thank God the attempt wasn't successful, but myself and neighbour ( a lady and her mum) were terrified...
After the police left about 6 am. I couldn't sleep until morning...

Somemore I dare not stay at my house tonight... Pack my bag and am now at my brother's house...

**Scare *** scare ** frighthen **

Time is so limited

2008-11-28T18:28:00.002+08:00

Wanted to write some good news afte rmy last post of complaint :) but i fell sick on Wed - now (Friday)... Not very very sick unti can't move, but sick enough to make me feel blur blur and have headache..

See if I have energy to post the good news online tonight :)

OK. time to go back and pray hard that the traffic is not too bad.... even though it's a friday and it's raining :(

Super Duper Tiring Week in year 2008

2008-11-23T20:03:00.002+08:00

I had a real tiring week from 16th - 23th Nov.

On the 16th, I went to Langkawi with my brother + girlfriend, niece (6 years old), nephew (11) and nephew (2). Took a noght flight from KLIA to Langkawi with MAS. very tired of course, hahah

17th, the kids woke me up at 7:30am ready to start their holiday. We went to Wild Life Park, Waterfall, beach, the famous Eagle Square and did some duty free shopping at night... They were to too tired for the shopping, but that was the only short 2 hours of my happy hour :)

18th, kids cannot wake up, hahah, but I have to wake them up for breakfast & pack up.
After check out, we head to corcodile farm and then went to "take a look" at the cable car station :) because not enough time to take any ride.

My flight was 6:35pm and we reached airport at 5:30pm, heheh it's ok for domestic flight. However, I made the biggest mistake I shouldn't have made.... My brother & his gf's flight was at 5:35pm

Wooooo....woo ... the mistake is very expensive... I had to pay RM398/person to purchase a new ticket.. ARGGGGHHHHH with that amount of money, I can have a good holiday in Phuket or Bali already...

The worst thing is yet to come. Our flight got delayed until 8pm. If they inform me when I purchase the ticket, I could have get the air asia ticket which only coist me RM180/person.

STUPID MAS. STUPID Malaysia Airline. I argues with the officer for not informing me. The flight was delayed because of "Technical Problem" which they alredy know it at 2:45pm. I hate MAS. MAS will not be my 1st choise anymore. DO NOT take MAS. Shame on MAS !!! (phew ... now you know how angry was I)

Reach home about 11pm ....

19th. Went to work. Work is ok, but got a call from customer asking for urgent support... wao .. this is interesting because I just join this company for 2 weeks and I have not been "trained" on how that product support works...
With some help from my boss and colleague, finally manage to help my customer out.. felt happy ...

20th -22nd : This is where the nightmare starts. I signed my niece and nephew (+ my nephew's cousin) up for my church's Kid camp. I myself is helping in the camp also. I knew how it's like because I was there last year. Have to wake up at 6am everyday, play games with them, both indoor and outdoor. Reach home about 9/10pm. I haev no problem waking up... but... making sure that 3 kids can make it is a big challenge.

22nd night, there's a borthday party at home for 2 of my nephew (2 year old). I rushed home to work with the caterer, take care of guess & etc... until 12 midnight.

23rd, my cute nephew woke me up at 9.... Went to church, got headache taking care of him (2 y/o). Afternoon went back to puchong to clean my house a bit and went back to my brother's house again....

Finally, I have time to be connected now... Wanted to prepare for tomorrow's work since I was absense for almost 1 week....

Another reason why I hate Damansara

2008-11-03T23:10:00.002+08:00

Today I was only 5 minutes late leaving my house, then I got extra 15 minutes on the road. Great !!!!

That's not the best.

I was about to go home and notice my car have got some additional accessory on it... a special LOCK/CLAMP on my tyre , WHY ????

I look at the parking lot, there's no car registration number hanging on it. So I went to the Office and complaint about it. Then only they show me there's a number hanging at the back.

How would I be able to see "AT THE BACK"???
I argued with the officer and refuse to pay the penalty (RM30)...

Finally, they let me go because I told them I'm new and it's also their fault putting the number at the back. But... I have another reason to hate damansara, hahahhaa

It's just "matter of time"

2008-11-02T21:08:00.002+08:00

Heard people said this often : just the matter of time.
And I wish to belive it's true , hahhaah

It's only 2 days of working in Damansara, I kinda like cannot tahan (cannot take) the traffic. Driving in the Jam is very tiring and I think it's not worth doing that. I don't mind driving long distance, but cannot take slight heavy traffic.

And guess what I've got myself into ? hahhahah

Well.... Hopefully , 1 of the following will happen:
1. Get used to it and enjoy the traffic
2. Try to find a new route that has no jam, then laugh at everyone that get stucked at LDP every morning for years ( hahah .... )
3. Convinve my boss to move the office to Puchong/Cyberjaya (hoohoohoo... and let everyone else suffer except for me)

1st day of new job

2008-10-30T22:41:00.002+08:00

This is the mostly asked question today ... "How's your 1st day at work today?"

And my answer will be: "^_^ very good. I have very good boss, good colleague, beautiful office"

How I wish that is the truth .... :( wooowhoowohhooo

But the truth is... "Arrrgggghhhhhh Traffic Jam!! Traffic Jam!!! I hate damansara. I hate Damansara!!!!"

What a day ....

2008-10-28T22:24:00.002+08:00

Had a very "interesting" day.....

I have finally decided to sent an old TV for repair to get a report so that I can claim it. So I called up the manufacturer SONY and I was told that the nearest service center is at MidValley North Point. Well, it's good because I'm planning to meet a friend for lunch in MidValley itself....

I happily put the TV into the car and drove to Midvalley. In midvalley, I get a trolley and put the TV on it (some small injury happened). Then I asked a security guard but I was told that SONY Service Center is NOT in MidValley it self, but I have to cross the road without the trolley..

Oh NO!!!! However I got the guard to help me to carry the TV over.. halfway through, I met a few guy with SONY uniform, so i just confirm with them.

Sony Officer: "Yes, SONY center is just over there. But ... this is Samsung TV"
PinkLady: HUH ??????!!!?!?!!?!?!?
**faint faint***

Long story to tell.. decided to just stop here :)

Tiring week

2008-10-24T00:01:00.002+08:00

Last week was a tiring week for me... Suppose to take care of my niece on Saturday by just entertaining her with TV, hahahah , but I saw she wasn't so well, with red dots everywhere, so I brought her to see doctor. Then .... there goes the busy week... She got quite sick on Saturday and Sunday. That breaks my heart because she have not been well since young....

Finally decided to bring her to the hospital on Sunday night. On the night itself, doctor cannot determine what's the problem. So she need to stay overnight in Pantai Cheras for observation at the same time wait for the blood test result.

I was very tired because have to drive my family around and take care of the registration, admission... The next day, drove down to Malacca..

Thank God nothing serious happen, but I had a very tiring week :) hahahh
Time to take a rest this weekend...

The time has come...

2008-10-16T23:20:00.002+08:00

Time passes so fast and it's mid of OCT now. I've made a very drastic decision few months ago.. to quit the current job that I've been working for 10 years

It has been a very difficult decision ... but whatever is done, is done.
Next week will be my last week in my current company. After that I plan to have a short break before starting new job. Even so, I'm still very busy... and start to get a bit worry :)

What type of people in this world?

2008-10-10T23:21:00.002+08:00

After stayed in Dubai for 30 days, I finally came back to Malaysia yesterday. Took a day off and went to work today. Since I wasn;t around for so long, got some letter in office... I open up the letter and it's nothing new :) Credit Card Statement, asking for money.

Opened my 2nd letter and stunt for a few second... Is this the correct bank? I know I never use this credit card except for AutoDebit. But there's an outstanding balance of 3K ++??

Oh no... all those transaction were made when I was in Dubai. Then I know what happen already, hahah... Open up my wallet and can't find the card.

Called the bank to block the card then made police report..Well Basically I do not need to pay for those transaction (I guess) :) But when I look at the statement again, I got very angry. What type of people in this world?

Even if I dropped the card, shouldn't they return it to me? Instead of doing that, this fella is enjoying life..
Sushi King, The Ship, Timberland, Garden, JuscoJaya, MetroJaya,
Within 3 weeks, this fella spent 4K+??

What type of people is this??? Enjoying life with other's money? ARRRGGGGHHHH

3 more days...

2008-10-05T19:06:00.001+08:00

Yes ... 3 more days and I will be gone. Things are getting better and better ...
Of course, ... bcos I'm all ready to go home. home. home home

3 more days....

Counting Down....

2008-10-02T21:59:00.002+08:00

Today is 2nd OCT and I'll be going back to Malaysia on 8th OCT..
meaning I only have another 5 more working day in Dubai. Yeah !!!

Counting my days so that I can go home... go home.... go home...

Dubai , oh Dubai

2008-10-01T16:26:00.002+08:00

I think I'm going to miss Dubai once I step in to the airport on the 8th OCT flying back to Malaysia. Thinking about it day and night, miss the food here, miss the people here, miss the sand here & etc... I love Dubai sooooo much

Yack ... (vomitting)
Almost vomit after typing those sentences , HAHAHAAHHA

I hate this place. Hate the people (not all, but most) I'm working with.... they have no idea what they are talking about, and who are they talking to (hehehe ... I'm too proud of myself recently). I hate it when people who has no authority over me start telling me what they WANT me to do.

I found a good way of describing my immediate feeling just now, hahahah...
"I don't give a damn on that"
I'm not sure how rude does that sound, but that's what I felt...

OK OK.. NVM, i just ignore them because they are not significant...

What makes you and me different?

2008-09-26T15:08:00.002+08:00

Most of us have 2 eyes, 1 nose, 1 month, 1 head, 2 legs.. aren't we all the same? So what makes you and me different?

I always have high expectation on self and others.... and that make me who I am that many people term me as "Strong" and "couragoues". But that also create a problem where I put high expectation on others, hahahah

But now, I learnt and still learning not to impose my own expectation on others. That makes me a happier person (just a little bit).

Is it more difficult to get a man to do the dishes? or to ask a woman stop shopping?Ask 10 man and woman you know and you can get the answer/statistic easily. But again, what makes us different?

Learning to be political

2008-09-17T21:28:00.002+08:00

It's a really precious experience I have here in Dubai for a project installation. All kinds of people around and you should never trust anyone, NOT AT ALL.

The only important thing you should know is how to protect yourself so that you are not being used by anyone. Well... It's a very tiring game, but if you play it well, you will be the winner. However, there's noone can be the winner always.

Opps... beware, Pink Lady has learnt to be political...

Feeling ...

2008-09-15T18:30:00.002+08:00

Having a mix feeling of glad, relief, angry, frustration....
Oh ..... just want to get this over and I will learn from this ...
