Last day of February 2009

28th February 2009, Saturday

Argh.... I really thought that I can have my own sweet day today.. I don have to do anything.. hm.. actually i did do lots of thing.. pampering myself.. haha.. i woke up 11am, get myself prepared by 12pm, go for lunch at 1pm, then back to Alvin's house for drama.. till dinner time, show up myself for dinner preparation... and now.... the big baby is sleeping, and i am drinking red wine and updating my blog.. alone. lonely?? certainly not.. i enjoy being lonely.. only sometimes.. haha..

Well well.. i got to admit.. i have become so hardworking out of a sudden because... I was treathen by my best friend.. he said.. if i don update my blog, then slowly my blog shown (linked) on this blog will be at the very last one.. people like me, so kia su.. certainly refuse to be the "last" one la... cheh..

Also i got to admit.. I am kind of drunk, after drink half bottle of red wine... this wine that i got.. 13.5% alcohol vol, from lucky draw in my office before cny.. oh.. kinda lucky actually.. this is quite a good wine... i have "strict" taste on red wine.. for sure, 100%, i don drink 12% and below (I am not kidding, I have seen 11.5% alcohol vol wine), and i fancy to Australia wine.. happened to be this is the Italian wine, taste ok also. slightly not to my favor la.. I am not expert in drinking red wine, i have to emphasize, i just love drinking wine.. that's all..

My best friend, she has extremely great capacity for liqour.. beer, white & red wine, hard liqour... i never bit her!! NEVER!! hahha.. she has recently into white wine, which always my dislike... hahha.. but i was thinking.. would i be one day influenced by her.. and start enjoying white wine.. Hm... Unknown.. hahah..

Hm.. i thought i am going to write something about camera or handphone today as one of my friend asked me about I phone and Omnia.. hahha.. my 2 favorite handphone (for time being).. too bad.. i think i am too drunk that i can only say something about wines.. haha.. and also.. thanks for my friend turtle for spending time with me.. while i am trying my best to complete this posting..

End of February Already..

26th February 2009, Thursday

So fast, is already end of the month (February is shorter??).. Me and Alvin have been staying in Singapore, my auntie's house since Monday, to send our passport for visa application to China.. Initially we thought it can be done within 2 days, unfortunately, we were then being informed that the procedure will have to take another day.... Sigh..

Finally.. today we are back to his house.. I think Alvin is most relief.. He had not been sleeping well since the 1st day we stayed there. haha.. he recognize only his bed.. unlike me, sleep like pig only.. muahhaha.. it doesn't matter for me.. but i am glad that i am back to his house today too.. coz.... coz.. i already have no clothes to wear.. i feel insecure and dirty of myself... haha..

All these just can't reduce the excitement to meet my family next week!!! next week is the week!! I just cant wait for the day to come!!! muahhaha...

Wow!! I have made it!! Another Improvement..

23rd February 2009, Monday

Time flies.. it is almost end of the month already.. I admit that I have blog minimal this month.. Not to blame me.. To blame the busy life, back from CNY.. hahha..

Wow... this months is really a busy month.. back from CNY, then I was busy for work then Valentine's Day and celebration of Alvin's birthday.. muahahha.. just so fast.. and sooo busy.. Though busy, i got homesick so badly.. i miss my mama and my friends... sob sob.. God knows that i wanted to go home so much.. But already have plan to go China Xiamen with family early March.. So, got to wait till then..

Oh.. till now, the most successful achievement of mine, muahhaha... cant wait to share... I have actually successfully installed the built in GPS in the Omnia phone.. The phone was bought December last year, and it came with free GPS system, but my dearest bf.... is TOO BUSY to install the system ( i seriously think that he is outdated in gadget and he has no idea how to do it!! poor old man.. muahhaha..). So, cant bear to see him pitifully pay for google search, that always cost a bomb.. i volunteered to install for him and i actually did it within 15 minutes. muahhaha.. so proud of myself..

Besides, i have also browse through the website and do some trials to the phone and sucessfully changed the main screen setting of the phone.. he he.. and now the phone main screen has become more friendly user (at least look like it).. hehe.. i think i have really fall in love with this phone d.. it is true like what the advertisement says "it's more than just a phone!".. haha..

But also, this phone is slightly "cacat" in the sense that it tends to lag a little when accessing certain functions. Unlike i phone la.. i phone is more attractive in its appearance.. function wise not so sure.. but seeing my friend's i phone, i really got tempted.. thinking to change a hp for myself in may, so still got time to consider.. hehe..

Batam Island @ Valentines Day

15th February 2009, Sunday

Finally, I have time to update my blog.. Back dated a little (one week is consider a little.. hehe..) Well, as mentioned, we went to Batam Island on the Valentines Day.. Putting away the experience of the poor hotel management.. it was a good trip.. A place that we really relax and set our mind free...

We reached there kinda late as Alvin is working on that Saturday. But luckily he did make the effort to release from work early.. So when we reach there it was almost 6.30pm at Indonesia time (one hour faster than Malaysia/Singapore time)..

We took some photos at the beach near to the resort. Not clean as we thought.. But we still managed to keep ourselves entertain. While waiting for me to get the best setting for the camera, Alvin pretent to be the model.. haha. But still.. i think my camera is not in good condition and the picture output is not that satisfy (good excuse to buy new camera?? hehe)

Finally, the expecting "candle light dinner" began... Slow.... and i started to target someone to test for all different setting for the night mode to capture the best pictures.. Again, the nearest target to be.. the poor Alvin... He must be shocked, seeing his big face on my blog now.. hahhaha..

Finally.... My food is here!!! poor tiny portion.. that just fit me.. (filling but not syiok syiok satisfied.. hahah)... Can imagine how long I have waited till cannot wait to try my food... well.. well. my comment is -- taste ok, small portion..

Took few pics on my way back to Singapore Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.. The overall view of the Batam Island & teh resort is not bad.. but the resort that we stayed was slightly far from the town, which we took half an hour car ride to reach there. and the charges there is high for hotel/resort.. the return trip to the town took S$70 per car. and we basically do nothing but went for a massage in town.. Cheap (approx. S$10 per hour), but is die die painful!!! I don enjoy massage.. too bad..

Money & Friendship

13th February 2009, Friday

Things have could not be more f**ked up already. I have no idea at all how did it happened. All people has different point of views. Should I pissed off, or should i keep silence but throw this bloody friendship to the back of my mind, and not think about it anymore? No No No.. I have keeping silence for long enough.. I should not let anyone take the bloody "friendship" for granted. Friendship value has depreciate so much when money matter came into the picture..

Have I been too kind or have I actually been nasty? Clueless.. Couldn't be bother anymore. Is over and not to be restart again. This is not the psp game, neither the computer program not responding and waiting for restart. Nevertheless, I told myself, things has been screwed up, and this is not "undo"able. So, bear the bloody consequnces.

Life stills goes on, with or without this friendship.. So, why bother? Just learn from the lesson-- Money is the wonder.. despite spending, but also destroying..

Chinise New Year Month & Valentine's Day

11 February 2009, Wednesday

Time flies. The Chinese New Year is officially over on Monday, after the celebration of Chap Goh Mei (元宵节).. I really notice that there are culture differences even among Chinese from different places. In Malaysia (or Klang only?), those single ladies will go to the riverside and throw mandarin oranges (抛柑) on Chap Goh Mei.. When i tell my colleagues about this tradition, they laughed and said, if they really do so in Singapore, they will be fined coz is illegal to throw anything into the rivers in Singapore. Meanwhile, my collegue from China says that they normally eat "Tang Yuan" (汤圆，元宵， 鸭母淋) on the Chap Goh Mei... I was kinda surprise by the different way of celebration as I thought all Chinese celebrate the same way... Just like the 1st day of CNY ma....

However, for most people in Johor Bahru, the CNY has not over yet, until the praying ceremony on the 20th day of January (based on Chinese Calendar).. The praying ceremony (游神) is so meaningful to them that some of them will go back to work only after the ceremony.

Well, after Chinese new year, most people will started to concentrate on Valentines day, which this year fall on Saturday. I think the restaurant & florist will be the most excited parties compared to other individual.. haha.. I am the practical person, i would rather to receive practical gift than flowers... haha.. However, we are planning to go to Pulau Batam for celebration this year. Hopefully it will be good.

Life Style..

6th February 2009, Friday

Wake up early this morning. Suddenly thought of changes of my life style after so many years of working.. have i been improving? or still stepping at the same place? hm..

1st year, Nov 2003 - fresh from oven. low salary. easy & punctual working hour. driving a "mini copper" kelisa, car loan half paid by the F&M loan. F&M? Father & mother lo... haha.. everything seems so great. young & pretty (guess so, haha..) clubbing almost everyweek. wow..

actually now i started to wonder how can i afford to pay so much for the clubbing when i have low salary at that period of time.

2nd year - changed job. working 8.30am-8pm. (Official workign hour is 8.30am-5.30pm, but those who leave punctual ==> too free = no work on hand = not needed in the company). Enjoy the job very much. stressful & challenging.

3rd year - working hard & stressful, still enjoy, getting slightly independent, meeting people, dealing own project, appreciated by the company, harmony office environment.. Close friends complained that I have spent no time for them.. :(

End of 3rd year - upgraded my car to Honda city. kind of proud. upgraded status ma.. haha.. but working getting less interesting. little politics in office.. :( decided to go back to help my dad.

4th year - helping dad in supervising warehouse construction & then account in the office. lost in direction. feeling missing career achievement. great salary, great benefit, unlimited annual leave, get to go holiday with family after so long working.

End of 4th year - decided to change a direction. move to Singapore to work.

Working in Singapore should considered the tragedy one. been working there for 1 year 4 months. been staying in JB, alvin's house. no car loan to bear, more saving, better life, increase insurance "protection" sum (not sure the insurance still strong or not nowadays, even bank can collapse..), making hard-earned money, hazzel traveling to work, home sick.. but no doubt, i earn the experince & the knowlege. :)

Well, that's all about update of change of my life style after graduation, have i been improving? hm.. experience - yes, knowledge - yes, expenses - yes (greatly), saving - yes (slightly, but good enough to comfort my parents :)), living with family - NO.... Sob sob...

Is this all i want after all? certainly no, this is only a process to my dream ma.. that's why i got to experince and go through all these..

Lazy me...

3rd Feb 2009, Tuesday

Finally... Back to work...

So lazy.. after the one week cny holiday.. been eating even far before cny.. so i have obviously put on weight even before i go home.. muahhaha.. unfortunately, i got a very extremely cunning mother, that did not tell me the truth until the 2nd day of cny.. and yet tease at me, saying that it is too late to know that i have really put on in size!!! arghhhhh... cunning mummy!! but i miss my mum... miss so much..

Got bad homesick since i come back to JB & going back to work.. feeling that i do not belong here.. I belong to Klang!! I am the Klang gal.. i want to be my mummy's gal... sigh.. too bad la.. realistic is always cruel..

Another bad thing happen on me that worsen the scenario.. i have been having nose bleeding since i am back to JB... Sob sob... 1st day, I had the nose bleeding after i scolded alvin, i thought it was a punishment, 2nd day, the bleeding become worse, which i suspect i have "hidden illness", and 3rd day when i am glad that i did not have any bleeding in the morning (i have been very careful, not to sneeze hard), still... cannot avoid from it, at noon.. sigh.. how ler???

Better sleep early.. i will post my chinese new year pic soon... actually din took lot, as i spend most of my time eating & sleeping.. haha..
