Grandpa, My Greatest Inspiration

2011-03-15T10:47:00.000-07:00

It's 1 am, and I just couldn't sleep. And kept crying whenever I think of my grandpa.

Grandpa had a minor stroke and was admitted into the hospital around 2 weeks before cny, and I only came to know about this in the morning of the last day of lunar year when I just reach penang. Was having breakfast with bro and grandma at the market, tears started to flow uncontrollably but I told bro and grandma that I'm just being sleepy cos I didn't rest well in the bus.

Being brought up by divorced parents, grandpa never fails to show me and my siblings what's real family love is. He was there for me all the time..
-When I need someone to fetch me from shopping malls after hanging out with my frens
-When I need a mobile phone (it was a trend back then), or money for topping up my prepaid card
-Extra pocket money for frens outing or trip
-Gave me his portable radio when I start listening to pop music

No matter what happens.. He is only a phone call away.

Or even when I was younger! I was a spoilt kid back, I would request for whatever candy/chocolate that I see on the tv advertisement, and all I need to do is, to look for grandpa. And in less an half an hours' time, there I am, in the grocery shop shopping for my fav candies.

Grandpa was a businessman back then. And not forgotten, my grandpa was diagnosed with polio when he was a kid, and is unable to walk. His education level is only up to primary 2 cos as he grew older, great grandma has got no energy to carry him to school anymore. Therefore, he stopped schooling and start to work, and this is where he learn his craftsmanship, and slowly, he starts his own business.. All by his own. In addition, he learn how to read chinese by reading newspaper. And when they first introduce auto-geared cars in Msia, I'm proud to announce my grandpa is one of the first few who own it. And, grandpa is the first disabled person in penang who took driving test using auto-geared cars and passed!

Things I remember most when I was younger, grandpa loves to go yumcha in the morning with his friends. At times if I managed to wake up on time, I would be lucky to follow him to his fav morning hang out spot - Chew Chun at Jalan Chain Ferry.
And he would fetch me to school at times too.. From primary 1 to form 6 (pre-u). Haha, and if I keep him waiting for too long, he will be grumpy and couldn't help but nagging non stop at me.

I missed these times.. I didn't know time could pass that fast. I appreciate what he has done for me previously.
Grandpa's recovering progress is quite slow. His left hand is affected but good news is, he is still able to move it, but it is not as efficient as last time. I am praying hard that everything goes smoothly and I know grandpa could go through this, and recover soon.

I'll be going back this Fri, and shall do more research on google on what can be done to make him recover other than taking medicines..

Please, if you're reading this and have any advice on how to reduce high blood pressure, do let me know by dropping me an email or pls comment below. I'll appreciate that :)

Was dead tired yesterday. Don't know why am I so much energetic during weekends compare to weekdays.

Went kayaking on Sunday morning, followed by lunch, went to the temple alone, and then manicure session after that.. I've got my barbie nails again :D
Wasn't really tired, maybe I just don't want to waste my beautiful Sunday doing nothing. Sundays always seem to be so much shorter than other days.

Work til 10 pm yesterday, reached home at almost 11pm, bath & ate some maggi before going to sleep. When I woke up this morning, realised that my tummy was so damn pain, I'm afraid to say that I slept like a log the whole night I couldn't feel the pain at all!

Enjoying every moment as I can now, before nightmare begins.. Of course I would love to enjoy this moment forever, but in life, always expect ups and downs. Well, I can say that I'm having my ups now after my downs.. Enjoying it while it last.. :D

Having induction tmr at the HQ, too happy to fall asleep cos need not to wake up that early !

Looking Back To Yesterday

2010-07-18T08:07:00.000-07:00

Can't believe this is me back then.. Makes me feel like just yesterday, and I feel so old now.

Enough craps, time to sleep.

P/s: wanting Yamaha P85 so much :( trying to save so hard to get it..

Counting My Blessings

2010-06-05T02:08:00.000-07:00

This blog is getting rusty, trying to keep things up to date at times.

Spoken to bro last night, about his life over at Penang, and my current life in Sg. Altho we're far away and had been apart for quite some time, I'm glad that we are still close to each other, and the best thing is, realised that bro himself had grown up and now we're now sharing thoughts instead of fighting with each other like how we do it when we're younger.

Another 14 days more from this date I'll be back to Penang for one whole week, before starting my new job. These few months are tough, real tough, but I am glad that I've got people who are there for me, guiding me on what to do, how to manage these situations, lending me their shoulder to cry on, kept reminding me to be positive, I really appreciate that, I'm blessed to have you guys as friends.

Sometimes, I was surprised that, somehow, even when I'm at the losing side, things managed to get back into the right track, and the situation is still on my side, maybe it's a blessing from God.

Anyway I'm glad that things on the other hand is getting better, s pass being approved which is a good sign. I'm so looking forward for that to the next step.

2010-04-10T11:12:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all the stretching i did for the last whole week, did very well in yoga class today! Most of the time, Jean was quite unhappy with my performance though, being late, unable to stretch due to lack of practice, and being lazy in some of the poses.. but today, Jean was so happy to see my improvement that she hugged me :D

10 More Days to Phuket!

2010-04-05T08:18:00.000-07:00

Yes, very excited - cos it's the annual trip again.. In fact, I've packed 1/2 of my luggage since mid of last month and finally got my leave approved!

Went shopping for a new bikini, was sound by Shalene previously cos she says I don't need so much bikinis, it's not that i'm going there for one month! =.='''

But I couldn't resist the temptation of having another bikini tho, gonna get a plain black one this time, a more common one. Found it at Topshop, but they don't have my size, but i managed to get the salesgirl to order it from another outlet for me :D

10 days left for me to keep my body fit, don't want to appear like a pig like last year :p
I'm gonna do yoga everyday from today onwards.

Strech strech strechhh!!!!!

Today is my last class in kaplan. 8 months seem like just yesterday. And yes, i'm kinda sad that we will not be meeting most of us that often next time. Everyone will have their own direction after this. Sat will be my last exam for this course. Assignment yet to be done. Deadline was yesterday. Forever me. Poor time management. Shouldn't have spend so many time on my work isn't it? Hmmm. Hope that i'm on the right track, so do everyone. Going to bed, nitez.

Ipod's Gone :(

2010-01-27T05:54:00.000-08:00

My Ipod's 22 months old, and now it's gone. Had ordered a new itouch online, hardly can live without music dangling in my ears while taking public transport. Don't understand why it is spoilt at this timing when i'm broke :(

Had terrible headache now. woke up at 2 am last night looking for chicken rice. had subway + ham & egg mayo sandwich for dinner, but i don't understand why do i get hungry easily these few days. might be pms, pls do not come near me.

She might have shit on her pants and don't bother to clean it up because she thought that others might not realised it cos her pants is black but look what happen!

Gross to the max!

Btw, just got my bonus but wasn't very happy.
Gotta plan my financial wisely, and I gotta be serious this time.

Managed to find a picture of me 3 years ago in friendster, and realised I was so thin then! I really should lose some weight !!

I remember I eat like a pig last time, but how come I can maintain so slim one ha? But how come now cannot?

All About My 2009

2010-01-03T07:32:00.000-08:00

Well I know it is a late post, but its better than nothing cos I was too busy preparing accounts closing on 31/Dec, which ended up counting down in the office, and also statistics exam on 2/Jan.

I will try my best to rearrange all these in chronological order, based on my current memory plus some help from my photo albums :D

1/ Waiching's training in Sg, starts somewhere end of '08, and here's a picture of us in Jan '09.

2/ Well, next will be CNY in Penang! Had fun with cousins and managed to gather some old NS frens and amazed how time had change us.

3)Oh yah! Not forgetting, funny hairstyle of mine for CNY '09

4) Malacca trip :D oh yah, and this is my first time meeting James in person, after the mystery note he left on Pasy's table in Agilent 3 years ago.

5/ Ah, the best of all, my Bali trip, I would say this is the best time of my 2009 :)
(29th March '09 - 2nd April '09)

Uluwatu temple

Some temple that I've forgot its name :p

Tried surfboarding for the first time in my life, but failed. It requires alot of strength man!

Us at Kuta beach

Some entertainment along the trip

Not to forget our lovely bathroom. Realised on our last day, the bouganvilleas at the balcony was all gone. Thanks to me & Chee Hoe, we will pluck it and put it inside the bath tub when we notice Frankie starts filling up the bathtub with water for a soak :p

More photos available here, and here.

6/ Finally started back my studies part time, at APMI Kaplan. It is like a race, you just can't stop. Every 2 weeks, there will be assignment submission, and followed by exam 2 weeks later. With my workload, sometimes I can hardly cope but I try my best. Things that won't kill you will eventually make you stronger :)

But of course, without my course mates' help, i wouldn't have gone through this far, thanks mates, another 1 month more to go to complete our course! :D

5/ Well, being too obsessed with Farmtown, until I missed my flight on 1/May. Well, that time there isn't any budget airline to Penang yet. Therefore, wasted additional S$300+ for a SQ flight for a known mistake.

6/ Went to club at KL for the first time, drunk and I know I look awful that night.

This is okay

And this is not okay.

7/ Moved out from Bedok Reservoir to Tampines. This time I have the whole room alone, thanks soh for helping out :)

8/ Had a 3 month relationship. It was short, and it ended up for good. If you're reading this, thanks for everything, and I appreciate those times we had gone through :)

9/ Back during Hari Raya, and met up with old friends!

10/ Hong Kong trip! Great shopping! Good food! The fashion is different from SG's. And I can't stop staring at pretty girls & handsome guys everywhere :D

Get to know new friends, from left, Josef (SG), Afra (HK), Carmen (HK) and Yong Chuan (SG)

Stars Avenue

11/ Bought my first SLR, Nikon D5000! :D

12/ Family visits SG :D

13/ Get myself into Hatha Yoga, and learn how to distract my mind out from the busy world out there by coordinating mind & body, for 1.5 hour every week :)

14/ My first Gucci tote

15/ Lost my phone, stolen by pickpocket when I was busy choosing X'mas gifts. And get myself a new smart phone :D

I think that is all i can remember, sorry if i have missed out some of it.

Lastly, special thanks to everyone who had lend their ears for me during my hard times, i really appreciate that :D

Goodbye 2009, this year may be a little bit too extreme for me, extreme happiness & extreme sadness. Well, we know we can't have it all :) So looking forward whats gonna happen this year. Heard the economy's gonna be better. Have a great year ahead everyone. Cheers!

Need A Break

2009-11-22T04:12:00.000-08:00

Was halfway doing my assignment, and has been thinking about home.

Polo For Grandpa!

2009-11-21T22:47:00.000-08:00

Double Happiness

2009-11-02T22:49:00.000-08:00

Grandma, aunt & cousins visiting this weekend, and the girls movie night out on Mon night!

Welcome Home Baby!

2009-10-24T00:17:00.000-07:00

Was really busy for the past few months, but i just can't wait to post this on my blog!

Mummy loves you! mmuuaacckkkss!

2009-07-26T10:52:00.000-07:00

Everyone make mistakes, that is why there is an eraser on every pencil. I've made mine, fell and get up again. The process is not easy, the pain that i went through, but I've learn alot from it. Afterall, life is about ups and down.
I wish to share what I've learn to my siblings so that they won't go through the same thing as me, as sometimes human have to learn from other ppl's mistake too. We just live once, there is no point wasting time making the same mistake when you already know it is not right.
Trying hard to keep myself calm and talk to him again tmrw. I just want him to go to the right path.

Counting My Days to September

2009-07-11T22:41:00.000-07:00

Homecoming & shopping sprees! I just can't wait :)

2009-07-06T07:50:00.000-07:00

My cousin brother ever asked me about how does my webcam looks like, and I took this pic with my handphone, and send it to him, and he's so amazed, and praised that my webcam is so stylish!

I actually get this webcam at the cheapest price I can get in PC Fair few years back, and didn't change it since it is still working quite well.

Kids are forever kids, innocent, simple minded and easily contented.
One of the reasons why I can always stick with them when I'm back in Penang, they remind me simple things can also be wonderful :)

Income Tax

2009-07-06T07:38:00.000-07:00

Paying tax for the first time.

I'm not prepared for this lei :(
Wish I didn't buy so much things last month, or perhaps, I should have save more $$ for rainy days.

Febreeze Saves My Fav Bag!

2009-07-05T06:30:00.000-07:00

Last few weeks, I've actually spilled some fermented apple juice on my bag, actually it drip out from the bottle because of the loose cap, and it stinks like apple vinegar!

Tried washing it, yet the smell couldn't go away, until my colleague suggested Febreeze. And after spraying it last night, it doesn't stink that much as it does before that.
Shall continue spraying it every night until the smell vanished.

Relieved, finally had a good rest today, after struggling for a few weeks, its tiring and I'm so glad its over.

Another Task Completed

2009-06-30T20:37:00.000-07:00

Glad to complete closing of a/c yesterday. Although it is not completely complete for the new system, but at least, everything is already in there, just left a little bit of touch up. Of course, without my colleague's help, I wouldn't have complete all these alone, and of course, less motivation too. And tonight, we gonna celebrate it ourselves at Secret Recipe :)
With the new system not integrated with the old one, and everything is in a mess, no proper training, etc etc, until I really almost go crazy plus job volume suddenly hikes up, plus the new system is not stable, missed my classes just to complete my workload. If I think at the bright side, I actually learn alot on human attitude, coordination skills...

P/s: since I've manage to pull through half of this tough life moments, hereby, I would like to give a small applause to myself :)
Btw, managed to talk Mr Pang to extend the deadline up to this Sat.

My 2 year old sharpener

2009-06-28T02:22:00.000-07:00

Gotta get back to work now

New Room!

2009-06-26T19:06:00.001-07:00

Moved to a new place officially last night. Thanks Soh for helping me to move so many things.
Everything's still in a mess. Gotta clear it by next week after completing all my shits.

Cute Little Things

2009-06-14T06:26:00.000-07:00

Played reversi with this cheeky boy last night, and he won!

Fresh Lychees Are Addicitive!

2009-06-14T00:42:00.000-07:00

It was my first time having lychee in Singapore, and I find it addictive right after having the first one! Bought peach, cherries, lychees! Gotta have fruit feast for dinner tonight!

Had team building yesterday, went half day only, yet now my waist and my back is so damn pain, that I have to walk like a robot to avoid bending it. Lack of exercise. Yes I know, but couldn't find the right time for it.

This month will be super hectic for me.

Things to be settled by end of this month:
1/assignment & exam preparation
2/relocation
3/double key-ing into both new & old system, and gotta ensure both details are tally against each other in the end month closing

Preparing my assignment now. Hopefully I can complete it by end of this week. Easier said that done.

It's either you take it or leave it.

Father and Son Complete Marathon

2009-06-03T22:26:00.000-07:00

Source: From LingLing's post in fb.

P/s: Read before you watch the video

One day, a son asked his dad, "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon
with me?"
The father said, "Yes."
And they ran their first marathon together.

Another time, the son asked his dad again, "Daddy, would you like to run
a marathon with me?"
The father said, "Yes, son."

One day, the son asked his father, "Daddy, would you run the Ironman
with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon eve.
ever (4 kms swimming, 180
kms biking, 42 km running)
And the dad said, "Yes."

The story looks simple until you watch the following clip.
Just amazing, how much can love be ?

When You Are Lost

2009-06-01T01:38:00.000-07:00

Take a step back and look at the bigger picture, then decide.

Running Out of Time

2009-05-24T03:31:00.000-07:00

Was blog hopping, and I found an ex-schoolmate of mine's link on one of the blog.

Love her blog, giving motivations and inspirations.

I was lucky enough that I don't really have to go through what she has been, but this is what makes her a strong person.

Few hours left before submitting my assignment. Gotta get things going.

Please Let Me Have 30 hours A Day

2009-05-21T07:53:00.000-07:00

I'm so running out of time. Yet, I still don't have the sense of urgency.

Again, why?

Motivation Needed

2009-05-18T07:03:00.000-07:00

Brain jammed indeed after stop studying for 4 freaking years, or is it that I played too much before this?
Couldn't concentrate in class, and now couldn't complete my assignment.

WHY?

No other reason but all I have to blame is MYSELF.

Happy Vesak Day!

2009-05-08T01:46:00.000-07:00

Will be spending my Vesak day at KL! Yeeehaaa!
Things unplanned, happen that my colleague has an extra tics!

What more? Clubbing on Saturday night!

Decision Making

2009-05-06T18:03:00.000-07:00

Realised that as we're getting older, decisions that we make will affect our lives.
I wish I could stop growing up.

Learned An Expensive Lesson

2009-05-05T23:37:00.000-07:00

Paid additional S$254 for my silly mistake.

Being too addicted to Farmtown by Facebook, I only started to pack at 10:05am. And managed to get a cab at 10:25am, but I actually locked my own keys inside my room, and gotta get my landlady to find her spare keys to open my room door, etc etc, slow taxi driver :(
And when I reached the airport at 10:45am, the check-in counter girl told me that the boarding gate is closed. I know it was all my fault, and I'm sad paying extra money for nothing too.
But actually I was quite lucky that I manage to get another flight ticket frm SQ, as it was a public holiday, at least I get the chance to go home.

I don't know why I'm so moody these days.
Hate being cloned.
Everyone is unique, why follow everything the same person does?
Bah, trying hard to ignore this kind of people and just move on with my life.

Glad that next week would be a busy week for me, hope that I can cope.
My mission for this week is to stay at home, study and complete my assignment.

I Like This :)

2009-05-05T21:27:00.000-07:00

Happy Labour Day

2009-04-29T21:19:00.000-07:00

Gonna be at Penang at 12:30pm tmrw! :)

Still haven't pack anything at all, the usual me.
Gotta bring books along this time.

Hmm, this homecoming, hopefully the clothes hanger that I bang with my grandpa's car is still there, so that I could take picture of it.
Aunt was kinda angry with me for destroying her hanger, feels sorry for being so clumsy :s

Happy Easter Day! :)

2009-04-08T23:42:00.001-07:00

going home tonight. super excited. bought some fun stuff frm times bookstore for my cousins. can't wait to do some electronic experiment with them :)

Being 1/2 Day Nanny to 4 Kids

2009-04-05T04:48:00.000-07:00

It all started when Shireen ask me to bring her around the neighbourhood's pet shops. And all of them just jump into the car and wanted to tag along :s

It wasn't easy, but quite enjoying. Because you get to see what's behind all these kids mind, as they act differently when their parents is around. ;)

The boys enjoyed their 'animal' ride.

While the girls enjoy doing their artwork, I'm not sure what is this called but they colored it using glue, and heat it up in the microwave so that it could be solid.

The boys enjoy their sand art too

Finally, we're going home.

What a happy day :)

Good Old Days During My National Service 2006

2009-03-25T20:25:00.000-07:00

I was browsing through friendster and saw one of my NS friend, Wei Ling.

While browsing through her photos, look what I saw!

(I actually copied every NS photos from her friendster =p)

My NS photos back in Penang might have become Siu Keong's (cockroach in canto) habitat.

I'm so fat & fugly!

And this one, can act cute sumore

*Faint*

And look, how time had changed us!
We had a gathering during CNY '09.

Anyway, all these are memories now, and I miss it, very much. :)

p/s: i had actually drafted this post few months ago, too lazy to continue blogging bcs of the extremely slow internet connection

6 More Days

2009-03-21T21:03:00.000-07:00

.... to get my Ipod back!

It's been awhile I travel everyday without music dangling in my ears. And I had been real down, never been so down after awhile, is it because of music play such a big role in my life that I couldn't live without them...? Or maybe I'm fated to be so down after having too much fun, as there is always ups and downs in your life?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My Current Favourite Breakfast :)

But I quit having it, need to save some bucks for something else. Instead of buying my breakfast, I made my own sandwich, and bring my own 3-in-1 coffee to work. A little troublesome but it helps me save quite alot, maybe like 50%?

p/s: I have no idea how to make coffee that is drinkable. My ex-colleague used to tell me that it's the same way as how you make hot chocolate but problem is, I didn't know how much is the potion that I should put in :S to make things easy, I always choose 3-in-1 coffees.

Sneezing Panda!

Trip to KL

2009-03-09T07:54:00.000-07:00

I'm back from my 2 days trip to KL :)

Barcelona!

Kinda enjoy it, but not the police raid tho.

Overall, kinda enjoy this trip, might consider going again! =))

p/s: too bad that I left my ipod in my friend's car, and I'm gonna live 3 weeks w'out my babyyyy boooo! :'(

It's Been Awhile

2009-03-04T07:13:00.001-08:00

And yes, I've become fatter.

Looking forward for this coming weekend! I just can't wait!!

Chow Wei purposely come all the way to Tampines to find me for dinner, but bcs of my shopaholic habit, I actually queue up to buy a cheap + cute bed sheet instead of meeting him.

When I reach the place we're supposed to meet, I can't find him bcs there is just toooo many people going in and out from the mall... and I couldn't contact him, my hp battery is totally flat to the max, and I got so frustrated and straightaway headed home.

I actually dropped by at Macdonalds kiosk at the interchange to look for him, but no avail :((

And, I straightaway headed home, and called him immediately once I reached home when got my hp charged. And guess what, he is still there, but this time he headed home immediately, and I can sense his anger.

I can't imagine if I were him, and I feel so sorry now..

Anyway, I've learned my lesson, and finally copied everyone's contact number in a small notebook that I'll bring along with me all the time. No way, I won't do this again, and Chow Wei, if you're reading this, I'm very sorry =(

Sometimes I'm wondering, why some people just can't make up their mind, have their own opinion, and make their own decision? Why must they follow what the same person do, what the same person think? To me, its okie to listen to few people's opinion, and judge it slowly, and pick up the one that you think its most reasonable. But why everytime is the same person? Is it so coincident...?

Another thing is, what if you're the one being erm, should I say, duplicated? How do you feel? Will people clasified you as the same as him/her, if happen to be that person is well known for something unpleasant..? Or do you feel happy being a trendsetter?

To me, I just feel a little unhappy about the copy right thingy. Well, its my own opinion anyway. I'm not urging anyone to agree with me.

7:53pm: Time to go home.

P/s: hey, I'm writing this blog while doing my work. I don't like to stay at office late and I'm updating my blog in the office coz my internet connection at home is super slow and it really spoils my blogging mood. =p

Simple Yet Memorable 21st Birthday =)

2008-10-27T03:53:00.000-07:00

I actually wrote this post since last month, but bcs of my sucky internet connection, I didn't manage to upload those photos, and it really makes me blow when the internet keep on disconnecting for no reason. Damn hate M1.

****
Reward myself a return airway ticket to Penang =D

Economy class, but I'm contented still =)

Went to my auntie's house to see dolgy! Weird name given by Mino

She just wouldn't stay still to let me take a pic!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to torture her, I'm just trying to make her stay still to let me take a pic.

Look at her! Trying to bite me & Shireen! Naughty girl!

Finally, we decided to just snap a pic with her.

I look so fat :(

Both of us decide to get down from the sofa, so that she could at least stay still on the sofa for awhile.

hahahah poor doggie

Shes screaming for attention!

Finally.. we've got some nice pics of her:

Finally she's tired. So cute even though she's sleeping!

Looks like a white carpet that turns brownish.

***

Its Thursday night, and seriously, I did countdown my birthday in my dreams, I fall asleep before the clock struck 12, while watching Sex and The City DVD.

***

A dinner with my cousins on my birthday. Grandma wasn't in the mood as both my brothers fall sick for one whole week, and shes worried.

Anyway, we still had a nice dinner though.

I know I look very old in this pics compared to those little kids. Our age gap is at least 10 years. o(*_*)o

My cousins.

Found a picture of them when they were still young!

Mino look like a ball! HAHA!

***

Then it all followed by an outing with friends at Fuel. It was so coincident Jessica's boyfriend wanted to come to Autocity all the way from Taiping, so she tag along. Frankie & gang change their destination from G-Spot to Autocity, I'm so touched ahha =))

Party Party Party!
Me & Jessica, it was so coincident that she could come all the way from Taiping to meet us up!

Kok Hong, Jess & me =)

Frankie, Kok Hong, Me =)

The crazy gay partners. They drank 3/4 of the vodka in 1 hours time, and by the time i reach there, they were half all half drunk.

Rose among the thorns =p

Chow Wei insisted to take pic with us

The funny pair and a, erm, poser. He doesn't smoke actually.

Us =D

Happy birthday to me and wish me forever 21! Cheers!

And finally, they're drunk

But I'm not (=

***

Well, to cut the story short, I had actually bought 2 bottles of perfume from Changi Airport, 1 Issey Miyaki Summer Limited Edition, and another one is Miss Dior Cherie Blossom Bouquet. I love both smell, and how coincident Sha bought Issey Miyaki's perfume too! I don't want to smell like her!

I splurge too much for myself during my birthday month, and now I'm trying to save back my money so badly =((

***

It was so sweet of Chien & Sha to throw me a surprise birthday party at K-Box Marina Square, with a super nice cake from Chocz. Sorry that I didn't blog much bout this, coz all the pics is in my lappie, and I'm using my office PC at the moment.

But don't worry, I will still love you people =p

Pics available on my facebook =)

What I Did Last Raya

Jonathan finally quit his job in Singapore, and went back to Penang. According to him, he's doing something that is more related to what he has actually studied. Good luck to you, dude.

Had lunch at Thai Express Plaza Singapura with Ann and Jonathan.

And headed to the Istana Park!

More nice pics but this is all I have here in my office PC =(

***

Yesterday was my colleague, Jocelyn's baby full month party. And guess what, I've actually forgotten about this, totally forgotten this time. KTV with Ben & friends until 4am the night before that, and woke up at 10 something for Macdonalds breakfast.

While eating my Mac breakfast, I receive a call frm Yvonne, who is waiting for me at Buangkok LRT.. guess its too late, so I just tell them that I'm not going.

Celest called me up, and ask that me the direction to Jocelyn's house. I told her that I'm not going, and the way she talk to me is like, I did not go to Jocelyn's house on purpose. I don't know what's it gotta do with her.

And another thing is, I'm seriously sick of hearing these colleagues boasting about their everything. One of the reason I don't really like to go out with them =p

Sometimes when I think back, will I be like one of them when I'm at their age?

***

It's Deepavali today, and guess what, I'm at office now, processing docs for my Hong Kong consol which has arrived yesterday. =(

Thought that I could update my blog for awhile since there's nobody around =)

I shall get scolding from customers on Monday again.

P/s: shall get back to work and visit granny later with some chicken essences for her.

See how desperate these people are.

On Your Speakers!

Personally, I don't feel that this method helps much.

I'm No Sandy Lam, I'm Michelle Yeoh!

2008-09-25T06:09:00.000-07:00

Guess what, I've took up this quiz from KennySia's website, a year 2006 post of him. And my result is...

Congratulations May, you are 35% not Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...

Michelle Yeoh!

How Un-Malaysian Are You?

Kweng kweng kweng... I'm Michelle Yeoh! Yehaaa!

P/S: My birthday celebration post shall come up very soon.. my internet connection isn't good enough for me to post up my Michelle Yeoh photos.

Happy Birthday To Me =D

2008-09-12T00:00:00.000-07:00

This is a scheduled post =D

I might be partying, or simply lazying on my couch back in Penang now.

Back to reality.

Time to sleep, its 1:01am now, and I still haven't pack my luggage back to Penang yet =(

But its as early as 8:05 am. But its okay, as long as I've got more time to spend with my family =D

Need to wake up at 5am to pack o(*@*)o

Bye Motorola E680i, Hello Samsung Soul

2008-09-01T22:37:00.000-07:00

My bro has been waiting to inherit my Motorola E680i since 2 years ago, but no avail. Ahah! I told him that hes unlucky to have a niao sis like me, cause I will usually wait until my hp totally dead, before buying a new one.

My all time favourite Motorola E680i.
Seriously, I love to use it, coz it's touch screen, and you can just search for what you want directly, without having to move your joystick, left right.
Plus, the sms is much easier, coz a keyboard will appear, and you will just have to choose which alphabet you want.
Another thing is, the design is not bad too, simple, yet nice.

Went to IT fair yesterday with Jonathan, to get a Besta talking dictionary for my bros. It costs me SGD249, no discount, no free gifts! Its super iritating, plus the promoter that serve me doesn't really understand the product that she's selling, guess, shes just a part-timer for the event.

After that, went around the fair, and then went to Samsung booth, and Jonathan intro this Samsung Soul to me. At first, I just thought that the touch button is just ridiculous, but after I saw the real phone, I fall in love with its keypad immediately!

Ahah! Simple squarish look, Moto Razr keypad lookalike, plus the colorful touch button:

Ahah! I love it!
Happy me!

I know I look like a disqualified as Samsung Soul model =P

Btw, took a pic and edited with my phone. Discontinue reading if you have allergy towards ugly girls.

A bad camwhore though.

Hate Being So Sick

2008-08-14T21:46:00.000-07:00

Was really really sick.

I cough almost every 15 mins, and every cough makes me feels like I'm coughing my throat out!

I've never been so sick for my whole life.

God I need to recover as soon as possible, lying on the bed 24 hours a day sucks!

Granny's Suprise Bday Party!

2008-08-14T12:55:00.000-07:00

Held a surprise bday party for my grandma, its my aunt's idea btw.

All these years, my grandma is the one that remembers our bday. But, it seems that we don't remember hers. And this time, it was so coincident I was back to Penang, and my aunt has this cheeky idea to give her a surprise bday party!

Early in the morning, my aunt accompanied my grandma to the market, and start to force her to buy more food. Grandma was unhappy though, cos shes worried that we couldn't finish the food, and end up wasting it.

While me, brought my brothers to Sunway Carnival to watch The Dark Knight. And then bought a cake for my grandma.

Ta-daahhh!

Look at my birthday grandma!

Was surprised to see the cake which is meant for her! Uncle was trying to make the picture look nicer by holding the flowers.

May my grand daughter grew prettier each year! hahah! I wish!

Grandpa's friends singing birthday song in various dialect to grandma!

*****

I was sick since Tuesday night, and was on medical leave on Wednesday. And I realise that my situation isn't getting better, so I went to pay a visit to the doctor again yesterday.

The doctor suspected that I've got dengue fever, and took some of my blood for test! I was so scared almost cried. And I've got additional 2 days MC.

I'm getting a little better now, although my nose just bleed and I just can't stop coughing. I guess I'm just being too heaty. Hopefully everything is alright, and theres no dengue please.

I'm Back

2008-08-07T22:05:00.000-07:00

I've reached Senai Airport on 5th Aug at 1pm, and it took me another 3 hours to reach my sg home!

I'm extremely tired, slept at 6pm, and woke up the next morning at 7:15am to go to work.

I shall blog about my trip very soon.

p/s: sometimes what you see, is not what you get. never ever judge the book by its cover.

Thought of the day

2008-07-31T22:39:00.000-07:00

It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts,
but how much you give to others.

It's not how high you build your dreams that makes a difference,
but how high your faith can climb.

It's not how many goals you can reach,
but how many lives you can touch.

It's not who you know that matters,
but who you are inside.

Believe in the impossible,
hold tight to the incredible,
and live each day to its fullest potential.

You can make a difference to your world.

~R.B Jordan

I wish I could.

p/s: I'm going back tmrw! Yo Penang, here I come again! =)

1 More Week to Go!

2008-07-24T22:24:00.000-07:00

Look what I've bought for the puppy last weekend at Pet Safari, Simei.

The Mini Jingle Cage

Attached with it is a triangle with bell in it, stays linked inside, challenges the puppy to free the caged triangle. Suitable for very active and curious, limitless energy and affection puppies, to help entertaining itself =D

The Classic Rope Toy

This reminds me of my long lost Charles' toy. My shih tsu has a bigger one though =p

The Amino Milk Cookies

Too bad, everything's in jap, and I don't know what it means. Hopefully puppies love milk & cookies like kids though =D

****

These few things does cost me a bomb. Pets nowadays needs very high maintenance.

Anyway, a shot using the webcam frm my cousins showing their puppy to me =D

Awww.. thats very cute!

I just can't wait!

p/s: happy belated bday to cheryl and zhenni! =D

Almost died of heart attack!

2008-07-17T09:13:00.001-07:00

MAS is having a promotion, SGD0 from Singapore to Penang, what a great deal!

You can check out this website if you're interested:
http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/campaign/2008/07/ELF5/asean.asp?cid=SINGAPORE&lid=PENANG

Booking period is between 14-27 July, and travel date is from 15 Aug 2008 til 31st of March 2009!

*****

Yes, the promotion is great, but this entry is not about the promotion, its about what had actually happened to me.

I've booked a ticket back to Penang for my upcoming birthday, and after I've entered all my debit card information, my internet connection, as usual, was DOWN!

WHY IT WAS DOWN ONLY AFTER I'VE ENTERED ALL CARD INFORMATION AND WAS WAITING FOR MY BOOKING CONFIRMATION??

I tried calling Malaysia Airlines, and as usual, you have to wait for the answering machine, to give you the options before they can really connect you to the PIC.

And guess what, the first customer service officer told me that the booking wasn't confirmed.
So I quickly log in to my internet banking, and check whether the transaction has gone tru.

And yes, the transaction has actually gone tru, as usually those transactions will take a few days to be confirmed, and your money will be officially deducted from your account.
But the customer service officer told me that, it wasn't confirmed!
But he DID NOT tell me what is the exact reason!

So, I quickly called up MAS hotline again. And this lady that picks up the phone told me that, it wasn't confirmed, and she asked me for my card details like card no, expiry date, and security code! I asked her why she needed this, and she says that its for the confirmation.
Stupid me. I've gave her all my details.
And after that, she told me that I can only receive my confirmation email only BY TOMORROW!
Omg! Its so stupid! I can get AirAsia's confirmation email immediately after I've made my booking, but why not MAS?!
Why a budget airline can provide better service than MAS??

After I hang up, I was very worried, and then I called up OCBC phone banking to tell them what I'm facing now. I'm afraid that they might misuse my card.
Yes, I'm a gancheong spider.
And lucky, the OCBC customer service officer is indeed very helpful, and she suggest me to report my card as loss, and would send a replacement card for me, within 5-7 days.

Pheww.. lucky me. My money is safe now. If its not, I don't think that I can sleep tonight.

Leave Approved!

2008-07-17T04:39:00.000-07:00

Yippee! I'm counting the days! ^^

Respect me, or forget me.

2008-07-14T23:49:00.000-07:00

Things happen too fast?

Or am I just being too slow?

I don't know what is wrong with me nowadays. I forgot what I've said, and I don't even know what am I talking about.
My mind is blank almost all the time, forgive me if you've got a hard time talking to me.

Things don't get better, might relocate, might be changing job/jobscope, everything's unpredictable..! And the best thing is, I'm not prepared.

Bah! Time to sleep, and tomorrow's a new day.
See ya tmrw hellboy.

Where did the old 诗媚 gone?

The Greatest Gift

2008-06-28T13:00:00.000-07:00

The importance of things can be measured by how much time we are willing to invest in them. The more time you give to something, the more you reveal its importance and value to you. If you want to know a person's priorities, just look at how they use their time.

Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

~ From The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

Life is short, you will never know what is going to happen next.

P/s: Guess, I'm homesick again.

Back Home =D

2008-06-13T00:56:00.000-07:00

My brother has been bugging me for the past few weeks to go back because I've bought him new sneakers for his birthday, and he can hardly wait.

Grey for the younger bro, white for the elder one..

6th June 08

Took a 24 seater Konsortium bus to Penang from Golden Mile Complex. The guy beside me started to snore as soon as the bus started the journey at 10:00pm. I used to sleep all the way once I get in the bus, but not this time.. The seat is super uncomfortable, plus the guy beside me snore all the way. My fault for not buying the bus ticket earlier, thats the last one when I called up and book on 31st May =(

7Th June 08

Reached Penang at 8:30am, and called up my auntie to come over and fetch me.

Me: Hello, Auntie! Are you awake? Can you come over and fetch me?
Auntie: *half awake* Where are you? You came back to Penang?
Me: Yea yea, I'm reaching the bus station soon, can you come over and fetch me?
Auntie: What?! Why you did not tell us earlier? I'm at Genting now!
Me: *shocked* Huh? Then what bout Grandma? Is she with you?? When are you coming back?
Auntie: Grandma is at home, you call her to fetch you ba. I'll only be back on Sunday.
Me: *sigh of relief* Orh, okie, buhhbyee.

Heng ah! My intention is to see my grandma, lucky that she did not follow my auntie to Genting! And I called up my grandma to come and fetch me, and she started nagging again, saying that I like to come back out of the sudden, and shes worried what is going to happen and etc..

Slept for almost whole afternoon on my brother's bed, too tired to make up my own bed, and my saliva drip on his pillow.. heheh =D Pardon me, I'm just being too tired!

Bout 5:30pm, my grandma woke me up, and ask me to prepare myself to attend my cousin sister's gu zheng performance at Sunway Carnival.

Try to snap a picture of her before she went up on stage

Shes trying to cover her face from the camera!

Performing on stage

Not forget, the video!

Durian Eating Session at Geylang =D

2008-06-04T22:30:00.000-07:00

Tonnes of durians!

Candice the durian expertise choosing for the best durians for us

Ta-daahh.. Our 3 for $20 durians

Helen enjoying the durian with style..

And look, there's a big basket here for you to throw all those unwanted shells away..

Yea, we ate mangosteens too..

P/S: The durians were chosen by the seller, and its not up to our expectations for the '3 for $20' Grade of durian. Candice and Helen bought some durians back from other stalls, its only 3 for $15, and yet it taste better than those we ate there. Perhaps, we're too hungry that we jump to the 1st stall as soon as we saw durian stall.. And we're not full at all after the durian session, and we ended up in a dimsum shop, and thank god the dimsums are great!

So much to do, so little time..

2008-06-03T21:00:00.000-07:00

Omg, look at the mess I've made for the past few months..

I've been living in this kind of condition for the past few months, I know you're amazed, but don't get me wrong, I'm messy but I'm not dirty =D

p/s: its 9:00 pm now, its time for me to bath

2008-06-03T00:32:00.000-07:00

Hey Penang, I'm coming back in 3 days time!
