I'm Back~

now only i notice that for almost 6 months i didnt blog... will try to blog again from today onwards... :)

Outing with Colleagues

yesterday went out with my colleagues (joyce, kelly and may), i took the train to bukit jalil and joyce picked us at the station. then we went to kuchai lama for chicken herbal pan mee, the pan mee is really tasty and if i got the chance definately i will have it again. heard joyce said the fish head beehoon is also very famous, the same street with the pan mee restaurant.
after the lunch we went to a boutique, they really can shop... as for me, i got myself a pair of shoe and a belt, need to control my spending as my pay is low and fixed expenses' high. then we go straight to neway in puchong, spent 3hours of non-stop singing with them. kelly, may and i can't read chinese but i found out that kelly really sing k queen, so got a stack of lyric (pin yin) and i found it to be very useful... thank you kelly for the lyric, hehe.
**awaiting the next outing with the girls in march....
**ohh... forget to mention, i pk on the way to the pan mee restaurant, now my both knees are bruising and is so damn painful now!

Leaving on a "Jetplane"

today have breakfast with mandy@ may theng at tang house of fish ball in seapark, quite tasty but the fried fish noodle a bit spicy. then we go straight to mcd in s14, pj ... of course not for second round, we go online as it is free wifi in mcd.
as now may theng and i are in mcd, we did snap some photos for rememberance. she will be leaving malaysia to new zealand to fulfill her dream-backpack for six months and hopefully to "fish" for rich guy? hehehehe.... i'm going to miss her, eventhough we seldom meet each other but there is a bond better us. we were those "salty" gang during uni life. hehehe....
browsing her blog and found something interesting - a quote : A bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn... everyone is experiencing the same thing in the life, walking on the road, there are some turning that you will need to do every now and then.

KTM Experience

now i am on my way back ipoh with ktm train, this is my first time to take the train back ipoh. in fact, it is just like the bus nothing special… just that you need to walk very far in order to get to your seat. the train is so long – i’m sitting r1 – seat number 3a, im sitting with a malay guy … so uncomfortable.. the battery of my laptop is almost flat… so i will just stop here and continue blogging when i reaches home. to be continue …
oh god, at last i reaches ipoh at 12:09am… this is my first time to take the train and will be the last. it is so damn cold and tiring, i don’t know why there are still so many people choose to take the train instead of the bus. it takes me four hours to reach ipoh, what on earth is happening to the train…
NO to ktm train back ipoh! TAK NAK!

New Friends Along the Way

i went for a movie in klcc with some new friends, all lawyers - suddenly feels like there are so many lawyers in the market. took the lrt with justin to klcc and have lunch then meet with his friends - justin junior (jap mug), victor and alice. want to know more about the movie --> http://www.benjaminbutton.com/ . after the movie we went to kfc for chicken la... what else? victor said he missed kfc in malaysia, as he was in singapore for a year (if i'm not mistaken). he said the kfc there is tasteless, i can't remember that i tried before the chicken there... i wonder...

Lion Dance

Lion in boss's cubicle...

lion dance in the workplace... nothing much to share about this, some photos for my memories... something special and different that i encouraged in this new place. if the department wish to have the lion to "wong" the department then will need to pay rm28 to psd for the visit.

the girls in boss's cubicle with the 4d number from the lion... i won rm215 from this number, hehe...

Gathering

every year, the department will organize CNY gathering – yu sang for all the chinese. this year won’t be exceptional, joyce booked a table for 9 at nearby restaurant and ordered 5 dishes with yu sang. it was a very rush and short lunch as others from the department is waiting for us to be backed. unexpectedly when we asked for the bill, the amount is rm324. so damn expensive, we wonder what on earth that we had for lunch? we asked the restaurant to draw down the price and they said they are very busy, so we said we will come back for the bill. still waiting for joyce to get the bill.
don't know whether next year will go to the same restaurant for gathering...

CNY Celebration

went back ipoh on 23 feb 2009 - i planned to take the train cause i never tried before and hoping that i can reach ipoh within 4 hours, at least i don’t have to caught in the jam. but end up follow chang fei’s car and reached home after 12 midnight. dai gor was busy decorating the house and mum was cleaning the house. every year is the same, everything’s last minute. this year ah jeh can’t make it back ipoh as she need to work. as i’m having vege for this half year, i have to wait till 25 feb for the feast. this year family reunion dinner is less joyful than previous year as ah jeh and jeh fu can’t come back for CNY.
this year mum gave me rm199 for angpow, maybe represents “chang chang jiu jiu”… emmm don’t know everlasting happiness or everlasting love ler? … i remembered last year she gave me rm128.80, got cents some more. but end up i also didn’t really “fatt”, think not the pocket but the body.
CNY is the time for me to eat - two bowls of rice for every meals, soft drinks, cookies, crackers, etc. there is always some food in my mouth, i ate a lot of peanut cookies and almond cookies that mum baked.
on the fourth day of CNY, mum and i went to sam kao fu’s house and met most of the uncles and aunties (kill few birds with one stone). this CNY is not as merrier as last year. i remembered last time when popo is still here, every year all the uncles, aunties, cousins, etc will gathered at sam kao fu’s house for dinner. time’s flies and everything has changed.
in the evening, gathering with mc friends in mp. i did enjoy myself during the dinner, although i was not close to most of the friends during school life. the dinner ends around 10pm, I was very tired and don’t feel like joining them for drink. i went back home after the meal and watched tv the whole night.
yum cha with friends – darren gor, koo ai ling, yeow (old town ipoh garden east) and wong ai ling (oldtown pasir puteh)… Blah blah blah…
1 mac - it was my last day in ipoh for CNY, thinking that the next day I need to work was like going back to the nightmare and lazy to drive. going to miss mum, dai gor, yi gor, gigi and lucky… reached home within 2 hours and got scolded by mum again, hopefully won’t “kena saman” for speeding.

*awaiting 13 feb 2009 – mum, dai gor, yi gor, gigi and lucky, i’m coming back with train.

Malunya...

today is slightly different from other working days. as usual, took the train to work then breakfast at food court (having the same breakfast for weeks – hot honey lemon and thosai). getting sick of the food there… hehe.
11:48am - my boss suddenly came over to my workstation and asked me to join her for lunch. i was like… oh god, what on earth this can happen to me? is not that i don’t wish to dine with her, is just that i do not know what to talk during the meal… we went to yellow house – the frequent place she has her lunch. luckily during the lunch there are topics for conversation. in fact, she is not really those frightening boss that my colleagues described.
on the way back to the MO, another unexpected thing happened. i saw my friend’s admirer and accidently called his name (macam i know him lor), really make a fool of myself… i pretended nothing happened and walk straight back my office, malunya…

Ipoh for Mei Ling’s Wedding

i woke up around 7am and prepare myself for the trip back ipoh for mei ling’s wedding. I have decided to drive back and leave my car in ipoh till CNY. I went back together with justin and ai ling. reached ipoh around 1215pm, unbelievable that I can spend 20 minutes to shower, dress up and make up for the luncheon… never been so fast in my life.
darren gor came over to pick me for the luncheon at “thong hoi” restaurant in ipoh garden south. i was a bit disappointed as mei yee, yee shin and chooi fun unable to turn up. it’s been years the gang didn’t meet up together for a drink or so… don’t think there will be any chance to meet up in short term as mei ling will be migrating to Australia. after the luncheon, we went for a drink at ____ then later to k-box. the singing and fun lasted till 6~7pm then darren gor sent ai ling and i back home.
the next day, i followed justin’s car back kl with ai ling. it was a tiring and memorable trip back ipoh (wasted rm12 for the ktm ticket back kl that I bought).

really miss schooling time and mei ling a lot…

In the Mood

it's quite awhile i didn't update my blog, partly because i can't go online but in fact i'm giving myself excuse as i'm very lazy to blog. out of sudden the mood is here so i will just pen down something before the "wind" blows away.
recently i went to one book study and one training course. the book study was organised by teo chew association and another one is a compulsory training course by my company. think this year i am able to fulfill another resolution for 2009.
i believes that discussion and training courses are to 1) learn something new and improve ; 2) refresh / recall what you've learned and practice it ; and the last one will be 3) what the heck am i doing, attending such a course... wasting my time only.
what about you?

Working with Her

another event that i'm waiting for... working with chui ling is much more fun. this is why i like to help out my brother in the events. hopefully my current company allows me to do so, as i treats this job as my interest and not as earning money.

sirijaya celebrated their 25th anniversary (theme - silver) in syuen hotel. it was an amazing and grand event for the company.

Someone

i am wondering whether when i can be someone's someone some day... :P its been awhile i'm alone, i wonder if out of sudden someone that's "ok" approach me, will i just attach with it or i should wait for the one that i really like, to approach me? is it "ok" is good enough? is it true that i should find someone who loves me more than i love him? how i wish those fairy tales story is true and i'm in one of it...
i always manage people's wedding and when it will be my turn? in fact, seeing people happy is not so happy for me... though i'm happy when looking at those lovely couple finally get married... but usually i'm sad and worry about myself. is there anything that i can do? should i just stop thinking about it? oh god...

*i want to be someone!!!!

Life in KL

today's my third week in kl. everything seems like fine and smooth, im still able to cope with my life here in kl. im glad that most of my friends are in kl, without them i will be lonely and sad... :)
learning to adapt to the working environment is the most challenging part. the systems and working attitudes are totally different from my previous company. though it is a well established company, there are room for improvement. i need to learn from the bottom in order to improve and proof to my HOD that i'm capable. one of my resolution for year 2009 will be a promotion in 2010. "pray hard and work hard".

Work Life

i was worried when everyone around me told me that working in a bank is very stress and the workers play "politic"in the office. till now, i'm very happy as my colleagues' very helpful and kind to me. of course, i will still be caution and aware of the surrounding.
the most important things is to complete my own job (doing the right thing at the right time, first time and everytime). this is the time for me to learn from others and to explore the company.
i don't want to hear people telling me the four letters foul word in the company - "PONC" = price of non-conformance.
my superior expecting me to cope with my work in a month as i got experiences compared to others. time is running out for me...

*oh god.. please help me, can i have 48 hours in a day?

A "Long" Wedding

i helped out my brother's in a wedding event in oneworld hotel. it was the longest ever wedding function that i managed. the event started around 830pm and ended after 12 midnight. the dessert served at 1145pm. have you ever wonder to have a dinner for 4 hours?
30% of the guests went back before the rice is served. i was there looking at those guests yawning and waiting for the wedding to end. the whole tv team was very tired and exhausted, it was fruitful when the clients' happy and thank my brother for the well managed event.
the best part in the wedding is the performance by the one of original singer of the song "only you" from the platters (if im not mistaken).

*awaiting for 20/12/2008 - wong chui ling :)

A Day at JY's Place

i reached pj and settled down on thursday. i was damn bored on thursday and friday as most of my friends are busy working. longing for the weekend to come was like a cancer patient waiting for his / her life to end.
luckily my weekend was enjoyable and fun. 0on saturday, i had my lunch with may theng in s14's mcd. then i went to JY's house. it was quite fun travelling to her house by lrt and ktm. reached serdang station around 5pm, JY came to pick me up and straight back to her house. at night, she brought me to kajang for fried hokkien mee. the next day, we went to md and window shopping the whole day. hahaha... coincidently redbox is having their opening ceremony in the gardens and invited few on the local artists to officiate the ceremony.
after dinner, i went back home with train.

*JY - more to come, i will disturb you more often!!!

Farewell Dinner

i'm the first to get the opportunity to celebrate farewell in my company. the company operated for 12 years plus and there is no culture to have a farewell party for the worker who resigned. this happened thanks to one of my colleague - SM who is so daring to voice out her opinion during the friday meeting.

as my boss can't say no, he is forced to do a farewell party for me. today, he arranged dinner at oversea restaurant which costs rm700++ for all the chinese staff and bought me a bouquet of flowers.

additional to that, he also arranged kfc (rm600++) for all the staff in the company on friday. so everyone will be enjoying free lunch this friday to celebrate my farewell.

i wonder if there is no farewell for me, i can have the rm1000 as a compliment for me contributes to the company for three years and six months. i prefer monetary term than all these, hehe.

*thank you to JT, Ang, YM, AL,SM, ZD,WL, KW, and etc.

Special Thank

additional to the previous post... i want to thank another friend of mine who indirectly forced me to thank him.

*thank you mr johnny koo chien fui for everythings!!! ya, everything... !!! you have been a good friend and once a friend, always a friend. :)

Employees' Day

fun, fun, fun!!! big event for top vision...!!! my brother took the risk to manage the unisem employees' day. this is the biggest event for top vision, my brother got this order by himself. he's so proud of himself... :)

i took leave to help him out... arrived at lost world of tambun around 9:40am. the event started around 12pm and ended around 10pm. everything was fine and in order until 3pm when there was a heavy rain. all the equipment and tools was pour by the heavy rain water, we were all wet and everything's not good... i was tired, wet, dirty and smelly. but the event is still need to continue. thanks god the rain stopped around 4pm, and all the vvips' ready to officiate the opening ceremony of the employees' day. cannon gun, colour smokes, balloon drops and dance performance was prepared for the ceremony.

at night, we invited ezlynn, fazli and farah ashikin (those malay local artists) to sing and perform. the event ended with one minute of fireworks. everyones' amazed by the fireworks and of course we are happy and glad to run this kind of event.

*billy - keep up the good work!!!

Tough Task

my first time to tender my resignation letter, this is the toughest task for me.... butterflies in the stomach. tendered my resignation letter on saturday, i was very nervous as i do not know what to tell and how to answer my boss if he throw me some questions. moreover, my mum knows my boss... it is more difficult to convey the message to him. luckily, he is very considerate and allow to release me with half month notice.

*would like to thank four of my friends - darren gor, jia yin, heng seng and mui kheng... four of you are very special to me, thank you for the supports, encouragements and helps. keep on supporting me, hehe...

Waiting

17/10/08 - four days after the interview, i was a bit depressed as i know this time is another failure for me... i know i can't get the job. i have been working in my present company for three years and four months, i attended almost ten interviews. i remembered i did got an offer from singapore but i turned down the offer for the bonus.
i felt that this time the company will also rejects me, but i still can't accept the fact therefore sms-ed them and asked about my interview status. the HR replied "still under consideration, will let you know by next week". oh god, need to wait for another week...
i gave myself another week, which is until 26/10/08... if i didn't receive any call from ocbc, i will continue to search for another job.i waited till saturday and i really did not receive any call/sms/email from ocbc. i was very depressed at that moment as i desparately want the job.
on the following week (28/10/08), i got a phone call - "hello, stephanie... do you still remember me? i'm ms tang from ocbc". at the moment, i was shocked... this is the time that i waited for the answer - yes/no? "stephanie, we are offering you the position as purchasing executive for RM____ and upon confirmation RM____".
i was so happy and it is worth to wait for two weeks for the answer. i believes this is the thing that will change my life.
*28/10/08 - the day that changed my life.

Working with Them

wedding function never been so fun! i got the chance to work with these two amazing dj. the client appointed them as their master of ceremony and top vision to run the wedding dinner. and of course me as the event coordinator.
i reached the restaurants around 615pm, discussed with them the program for the night. during the wedding dinner, both of them really can talk... non-stop without scripts. i really impressed with their work.
it is difficult to get good emcee for an event. if i got the chance, i might work with chui ling in dec.
*it's fun working in top vision!!!

Interview

07/10/08 - i went to work as usual. but today is sightly different for me, i received a phone call from ocbc. this lady introduced herself and asked me to attend an interview. i was shocked at that moment, as i did not apply for a job in ocbc. as it is inconvenient for me to talk on the phone, therefore i asked her to email me all the details about the position and the interview.
arranged an interview on 13/10/08. i took the bus to kl for the interview, it was very rush for me as i didn't plan to stay a night. moreover, my sis and bro-in-law was backed in ipoh. reached kl around 2:10pm, took the lrt to masjid jamek lrt station. luckily i was on time for the interview - 2:30pm.
they requested me to write an essay not less than 200 words. title : what makes you so interested to join the financial sector? i was stunned as i don't have any idea what to write in the essay. so i started drafting the essay and "creating" my story to amaze them.... hehe.
during the interview, there are three interviewers in the room asking me questions and telling me the job functions, etc. in fact, i don't know what is the position all about, i don't know there is a position for purchasing executive in ocbc.
after the interview session, they asked me to do a test. it sounds easy but in fact it's the most difficult test that i ever did. the test consist of 2passages (one page each) with 7~8 objective questions and 20~25 calculation questions, and they only allow me an hour to complete the test. i need to emphasize... "this is the toughest test that i ever had".
the interview ends at 5pm and the 4pm bus ticket that i bought back ipoh is no longer valid. at first, i thought to buy another ticket from the counter. luck sided me, while walking towards puduraya, i saw a sri maju bus with the ipoh tag in front of the windscreen. i ran toward the bus and stopped the bus. broaded the bus and told the bus driver that i got ticket and i was lost. luckily the bus driver allows me to broad the bus.
i reached ipoh around 8pm, and i still on time to have dinner with my family. i was a tiring day with great experiences.

Raya at Bukit Mertajam

sunny morning, had breakfast with mum and nephew and straight to bus station. the bus to bukit mertajam arrive late at the station, the bus driver drives like a tortoise... i only reached bukit mertajam around 1pm. sharon came to pick me up at the butterworth jetty (her car is easy to recognise - MU logo), then we went to auto city oldtown white coffee to meet pei ying and ban see (ipoh people go bm's ipoh oldtown kopitiam- really "em dim"). after the drink, ban see, pei ying and i back to ban see's house. i'll be staying at her house for the night. while sharon went to jetty again to pick chia min and meet at ban see's house.
we went to a place where there are many hawker food (laksa, char koay teow, hokkien mee, ling chee kang, rojak, char kueh, etc). beipai... really tasty. after the yummy yummy food, we went to seberang prai city jaya jusco then back to ban see's house to rest and prepare ourselve for the night.
dinner time, we went to tambun for seafood. the restaurant is packed, luckily we got a table. after the dinner we dropped pei ying at the toll as she's not staying overnight at ban see's house. next stop, swee tat's house (the most aggressive, busy and only guy in the gang). we chat awhile, flipped through some photo ablums at swee tat's house.
we went back to ban's house and chatted for whole night.
the next day, we went to bm famous dim sum restaurant (again, ipoh people go bm eat dim sum-weird, hehehe). ya, can't deny... the dim sum there are quite tasty. will ask them to bring me again next trip.
then we went to sharon's company (passby see see) then straight to queensbay mall penang. walk walk and bumped into swee tat and his gf, later on saw han yun and bf pulak. really long time didn't see han yun already. really miss her and was so happy to saw her there and she remembered us though almost six years we didn't meet each other.
ban see, sharon and i had lunch at mcd and left the mall to sharon's house. her mother is so cute, telling us many funny things about the family. now only i know sharon is really close with the family... every morning before work, she must peck her mum on the cheek.
it's time to go home, sharon and ban drop me at the bus stand and bye bye to bm.
*我会想你们！！！

Mama Mia~

30 sept 08 watched mamamia! the movie with won loong... was quite a good movie, musical,comedy,performing arts and adaptation sort of movie.

KL Function - 20 September 2008

i went to kl for a birthday function at mandarin oriental hotel. the trip was tiring but i did enjoyed myself.
morning bak kut teh as breakfast with mum. back home and prepare myself for the trip, i went to kl with ah lai and teoh. the travelling is boring as i have nothing much to talk. reached the hotel around 1230pm, unloaded some stuffs and check-in at impiana hotel (cheaper). thought it will be a lousy hotel, but i consider it as good for a 4 stars hotel in kl town. the hotel room only costs rm220++ for a night with 2 breakfast.
after checking in to the hotel room, had a meal with johnny at the manhattan fish market. then, he brought me to a herbal shop for "24 taste cooling tea with super Chinese medicine powder" (what he wrote in his blog la). at first, i thought it will be very bitter like what i usually drink in ipoh, after having a sip... nah, not bitter at all. hehe.
not to forget, after the meal at manhattan, he brought me to the shopping complex (forget the name) and told me about he's childhood memories... haha... after school lepak at the complex to play arcade games, etc. telling me those one, two decades childhood's life. funny to have this johnny as friend. haha..
at night, during the function... was headache for me, running here and there to coordinate the event. i need to check on the performers, the restaurants and my brother for every details. as the event is consider a huge one for a birthday celebration. performances such as live band, local singer (so-called-fei yu ching), pondan shows, donna daniel and bibikepoh... tiring, tiring, tiring... the event ended around 11:45pm.
taryn and i accompanied by teoh walked back to the hotel and rest. after eating something, we cleaned up ourselves and chatted with taryn and her sister till 3am. and at the same time, sms'ed silly sms with andrew.
the next day, after the buffet breakfast, we starts our journey back ipoh.

*what a trip... if got the chance, wish to have this kind of trip once a month.

Once in a Year

today is my birthday... thanks to my mum for giving me a chance to live in this world.
early in the morning, i had curry noodle for breakfast with mum and met one of mum's friend, pay the bill for us... free birthday breakfast. the curry noodle in fact not that tasty, compared to the one opposite the police station in town area.
in the afternoon, met up with kheng yi, matt and mei li at k-box. sing, sing and sing... i didn't know that my friends are sing k queen, really "geng"! they bought a cake and celebrated my birthday for me... really thanks to them and i'm very happy as it been years i didn't celebrates my birthday with friends.
next, rushed to oldtown kopitiam in pasir puteh to meet darren gor for a drink.... its been awhile i didn't see him, really miss him a lot. hopefully he likes the thing that i gave him. we usually talks a lot, i do treasure this relationship and wish this relationship will last forever.
after meeting darren gor, backed home to clean up and prepare myself to work. ya, my birthday i also need to work... earning money and sharing people's happiness by running their wedding dinner in syuen hotel. for those who don't know what i'm doing, i'm helping out my brother in an event company as an event coordinator.
today's my birthday and also lai siew min (exhousemate in tarc) and zaidi (colleague) birthday... happy birthday to you both and may all our wishes come true.
hehe... not to forget today is also the mooncake festival day, happy happy mooncake festival!!! this year no lantern and no candles but luckily i got the chance to eat the mooncakes.

*a tiring, "happening" and joyful day for me!

Lunch with Kheng Yi

after work, i was so lazy to drive and can't think of anything to eat for my lunch... after a short discussion with darren gor, i have decided to go "dai shu geok" eat "liew fan". considering the location is a well-known eating place, i don't think i will occupate the table alone. therefore, i invited kheng yi to accompany me for lunch.

it was great having lunch with her... we talks a lot of crap. haha... from cloudy to raining and from raining till sunny.... the lunch was from 2 something till 4 something. we had "chao liew", laksa, blended red bean, leung sui and we had rojak for the desert while waiting for the rain to stop.

Under Construction

it's time for me to update my blog... i'm getting bored with the design of my blog.

hope to see a new look of my blog in a week time.

any site for free html code? please provide me some information. thank you.

bye bye to my first design of blog... what's left is only memories...

Expired Roadtax

2nd day of work after a long break... while i was on the way home from my office, there is a road block by jpj. it was ok for me as i never break any laws and i remember my license is still valid. but when it's my turn to be checked, the jpj officer pointed at my roadtax and asked me to "tepi tepi". at that time, i was like oh god... summone or duit kopi ler? summone.... duit kopi... summone... duit kopi.

so i acted innocent and pretend to be weak, hopefully he will give me a chance to renew my roadtax. after giving him my license, i checked my roadtax and it stated 25 mac 2008. unbelievable.... 6 months ago, i shouldn't be so clumsy till forget to renew my roadtax for almost half year.
there is something not right here, so i search around my car. and i found the latest roadtax in the front compartment. lucky me to found my roadtax in the car, if not i will need to spend extra for the month to pay summone.

till now, the roadtax is still on my dashboard... hehe. what an experience.

After Long Break

i almost gone case... i was on holiday from 29 aug till 01 sept. when i got back to work, it was like battling in a war. i took two days to finish the workloads accumulated during my holiday. i really work like a trojan. yes, i do enjoy the holiday but it is suffering when i saw the works which are pending on my desk.
*wonder when i don't have to work so hard?

Police Report

this is my first time making police report. i have been receiving calls from stranger who likes to say irratiting words. remembered the first time was a year ago... i din't really bother who the heck is this person. perviously i will let him listen to the prayer played from a device, so that i can let him "calm down", haha.... obviously, he's those crazy people who desparate for sex.
everytime i went to this workshop to service my car, he will call me on the spot or on that night or the day after. it is so irratiting and end up i can't stand anymore... i believe reporting to the police is the best way to "demolish" this idiot.
hopefully the police will do their work and give warning to this crazy guy. i need to service my car at the workshop as it is still under waranty. oh god, please help me... enough of crazy guy, what i want is a normal guy... normal guy!!!

Ex-schoolmates Gathering

30 aug 08 - meili arranged a gathering at good times steamboat restaurant. it was an enjoyable and pleasent gathering. it's been awhile i dint attend this kind of gathering. most of the times, people will ask the same question, where are you now? what are you do now? how's life? etc... although all these questions are very common, at least we know that our friends are still around.

after the meal, we drove to mei li's new apartment and continue with the chit-chatting, tv, drinking,etc... something unexpected happened when mei li "parked" her car at the playground, straight inside the drain. luckily her car bumper is tough and nothing spoiled.

the chit-chatting continue at mei li's apartment till 1 something.

it was a great and memorable gathering.

i prefer kok thai restaurant's salted egg crabs. 好好吃哦！！　おいしい。。。

Family Dinner

it's been months my family din't gathered together for a meal. tonight was enjoyable and full of laughter. first, we went to pusing mun chong restaurant for feast. waited for my 2nd bro for the whole dinner, he was unable to come on time. then after everyone is around, we went to starbucks for coffee and chit-chatting.
during the coffee at starbucks, sis took the uno stacko to play. this was the first time we - the whole family join the game. believe or not... my sis, jfu, elder bro, second bro and even my mum joined into the game. it was full of laughter and happiness. no arguement, no disagreement and no issue.
after the battle of the uno stacko, we went for supper at sun tuck kee restaurant. the mun yee mee, pork ball and the chicken feet are the best in town. bought some dvds and back home to watch. i was so tired and end up fall asleep while watching wall-e. sorry as i din't support original. hehe.

Taiping Trip

today is my second trip to taiping in this year. the first was with mum only, we went to the taiping lake. and today, mum, sis, jfu and i went to taiping lake together. after breakfast, we drove straight to the highway and reached taiping around 12noon. the main reason we went to taiping is my jfu never been to taiping before. at first we plan to go genting but due to the family dinner in ipoh, we only able to go taiping. we took lots of photo at the lake and visited the taiping war cemetery. was a tiring trip... will not go to taiping for 1~2years.

A Short Trip

considering the boring life in ipoh, i am planning for a short trip to somewhere... asking someone to "adopt" me for few days, hopefully the answer is "yes". if not, i will then plan for another trip to north.
i will be much appreciate if that person willing to prepare a list of places to go and good food to eat for me to study and sort before the trip. if the list is been implemented.. in return, i will reward the person will ipoh good food... eg : old town white coffee, yim gok gai, taufufah, etc.

but chances of going is quite low also as that person gave many excuses... hehe.

anyone who read this post and wish to "entertain" me... please ring me.

Family Gathering

today is my mum's birthday and coincidently sis and jfu are backed. last saw sis was during cny, if i'm not mistaken and as for jfu... it is almost a year. the whole family will be having dinner tomorrow as my two brothers are not available for a meal today.
i considered this gathering as 4 happiness... 1) mum's birthday, 2) sis's promotion, 3) jfu's promotion and 4) billy - elder bro's birthday... which falls on 22 aug. in addition to that, it's been quite long time that the whole family did not gathered together for a meal or two... really miss the feeling...
thinking of what flavour of cake to buy and place to eat...

**Happy Birthday 阿妈 and 大哥, Congratulations to 阿姐 and 姐夫**

Shifted

announcement to all, i have shifted to another house on 14 july 2008. not a new house but bigger than the previous one. it's in pasir puteh... those who know me and wish to visit me, please give me a call. hehe...
this is my second times moving, my first was 10 years ago... it was tough and tiring. cleaning, packing, shifting and decide what to throw is a difficult task. imagine the things accumalated for 25years and i was very reluctant to throw the things away.
of course, this house i'm staying now is much comfortable than the previous. therefore, it is worth to move. hopefully, this new environment will give a better living or "feng shui" to me and my family.

Changes かえます

i noticed people around me are moving ahead and i am still standing at the same spot. everyone is changing work,upgrading themselves, further study, take up courses, promoted, getting married, having child, owned a house, and etc. i'm getting worry about my situation now. ..my career, my life and my family... am i able to get a better job so that my mum is proud of me and will all my wishes come true? am i going to be single for life and do i have a chance to be a good wife and a mother? there are many doubts in my mind... i believe that everyone would like to go through their childhood life, teenage life, mature life, parenthood and to have "thousand of grandchildren" around them when they are old... and of course to die peacefully and with no regrets.
most important now is that i need to pray hard to get a better job. my friends from workplace, ipoh, kl, singapore and even uk urged me to change my job asap. for those who knows me for long, i suppose you all feel annoyed with "I will go singapore to work". i am really sorry to you all as till now, i am still working in the same place. i do feel ashamed of myself everytime i think of this.
remember the story of the rabbit and the tortoise racing. i am just like the tortoise now, crawling slowly and getting further behind from others. i am still crawling to the ending point... "enjoying my life". i really wish that i can win the race at the end.
to be frank, i do not like my current work now... i have learned what i should know, everyday i forced myself to go to work and doing things which are very routine. luckily, i do have a good relationship with all my colleagues in the company. i am still working in the company is partly due to them. the environment is comfortable if we are not to rigid or calculative.
不要比較,也不要計較。。。

“One World One Dream“

the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympic 2008
yesterday was spectacular and impressive. i was mesmerized by the performances performed during the opening ceremony.
fireworks are set off over the birdnest stadium during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, friday aug. 8, 2008, in Beijing. i wish i was there to witness the whole event and i believe this is a once in a lifetime experience to anyone one of us.
China spent 100million dollar for the opening and closing ceremony for this event, and is said to be the most expensive game ever in the history of Olympic Games.

"i am proud to be chinese" 我是中国人！

ISO Standard

today is the day everyone in the company is waiting for... the company i'm working with is conducting ISO 9001:2000 QMS audit today.
considering to improve the company status, my boss decided to torture us by implementing this ISO Quality Management Standard. everyone are force to follow the "procedures" and i believe that we are implementing this for the sake of pleasing others。

in my opinion, this kind of standard is to please others in short term and in return to torture ownselve for the rest of the years.

likewise, shirt... what is the different between a branded one and RM10 shirt you bought in pasar malam or pasar pagi... nevertheless, it is still a shirt. however, i do sometimes pamper myself with branded stuffs too... ops, paiseh ah...

in conclusion, i'm talking crap... so just don't grumble and carry on working or else just wake up from my dream and resign!!!

没钱啊，不能在想太多和说太多。。。

Difficult Task

i'm starting this blog to impress myself or to impress others around me? in fact, i'm doing this to improve my language and to remind myself on the things that i did everyday.

i'll only inform other about my blog when i'm really ready... as i don't like to lose face, therefore i will need to finish the "preliminary stage" of this blog before i "advertise" it.

meanwhile, i would like to thank jia yin in helping me to start this blog and i still need you to help me in improving it also. :P

jin mee, "加油，加油，加油"!!!
