Maxis Wireless Broadband

The Maxis Broadband counter is back to Intel again. They were here like about two or three weeks back but I missed it. Was thinking to sign up for it since they are having promotion for 30 days free trial and since I don't have any broadband setup in my house :p yea, you heard me right no broadband in my house...you might gonna say "what, you're people from which century? you don't have internet connection from your house? And you dare to tell me your job is IT-related somemore!!!" Hmm..yea, me myself wonder as well how did I manage to survive without having broadband setup in my house for such a long period :p Well, last time my home PC got some problem and you know what..when I was about to setup my broadband that time only I realised there's no network port in my PC :p So, I gave up..well, you can say these are all excuses. ya maybe, maybe I was just lazy..haha.

So on Tuesday, once I heard they are back..immediately I went sign up for it. They are having promotion now for Intel employees and those what Activation fee, Registration fee and what so ever fee you can think of is now waived. We pay nothing..So, we can get 30 days free trial FOC. If you like it and would like to continue then only you pay for the monthly charges which is RM68 for the standard package for 384kbps*. According to the Maxis guy, standard package is more than enough for home user liao wor..haha. Then, you can carry the wireless modem around and online where ever you want as long as you're still in Malaysia. And guess what early birds got free gift which is Maxis umbrella..lol. Many people went sign up for it for the umbrella :p But who on this world doesn't like free gift right..kakakaka.

But but but...they said they can only go to your house and set it up for you the earliest after two weeks time :S Nooooooooo, means I still have to go through my CNY without having my broadband :( Ahhh, whatever..since anyhow I was able to survive without it for so long..why can't survive for this CNY..haha. OK, will post about it when I got it setup..see is it really that good as they said :p

Last day of work...

Haha, it's not my last day of work..I know my title is kinda misleading. Although sometimes I am kinda pissed off by my job, but nope I am not quiting yet and yet still stick to this job. Hmm, why do I still wana stay since sometimes I really feel I don't really like what I am doing now..don't know!!!

Ok, so today is the last day of work for my parents..haha. They have been operating the cafeteria for half a year. Wow, time really flies...it's like just yesterday when they first started the business. So i received questions from friends that I told about it like "why ler? business no good kah?" "ohh, really? When close? can I go and get free foods before it is closed down?" hahahaha. So, what is the reason my parents are quiting the business just after half a year? It's due to their health condition. They are really working so hard for the business in this half year and they lost so much weight because of it. Why, sometimes it was so busy that they didn't even have the time to prepare food for themselves. Hehh, preparing food for customers but no time for themselves...funny hehh. Some people might say, hire more workers lar and sit there become boss collect money will do. sometimes it's just not that easy...sigh. Sometimes I really feel heartache seing them so tired everyday. Why do they still need to be so tired after retired!!! They should be enjoying their life now, travelling. My brother and I have actually asked them to stop the business for couple of times. But because they need to at least find some other people to replace them so that they can at least get some money back for all the stocks, so they were thinking to continue untill the contract ended. And they are so lucky that a friend of my mum wish to take over the business immediately :) So, hurray...they are really blessed and my mum is so happy that she can stop and rest before CNY :D

Also, my mum told me what are the reactions of their regular customers when she told them about the news. It really touches me when I heard what my mum told me. There were a few customers who actually cater the food from my parents twice per day. They were like so sad when my mum informed them. They said "why? we like your food so much. Why are you quiting so fast" "We are really glad to know you and we are really gonna miss you" There's even one grandma cried because she said she really likes my mum and gonna miss my mum. Awww...I really never expect this to happen. It's only half a year and my parents already bring so much impact to them. They are like really treating my parents as friend. Even for me, sometimes I helped out my parents there and I get to know some of them. Old, young, female, male, Japanese, Korean, Britain, American, Australian..and so and so. I got to know one Japanese girl who is really nice and friendly - Kyoko-san. And not to forget she's pretty and smart. When I first met her, we were already talking like we knew each other for a long time. Gonna miss her and everyone there. It's really a great pleasure for me to get to know them back there.

Well, good bye!!

Paddington's house of pancake ~ 2nd visit

Went Queensbay Mall again on Thursday after work. So what to eat for dinner..hmm. After think and think we decided to go for pancakes..haha, since they got so many choices and we tried only a few before. What we ordered this time? Pancakes with cheese sausages and bacon..then another pancakes with lamb cubes...I forgot the exact name in the menu *shy shy*

Hmm, should have taken picture for our foods but we were way too hungry to do that..hehe. When my food was served on the table, both our reaction was "hehh, so small portion only ah my lamb cubes!!" Haha, my lamb cubes were wrapped in two fried pancakes which looked kinda small. But end up, I was so full till I can't finish my mashed potato. Noooo, my favourite mashed potato..which I never left it on my plate before *sobz sobz* Lucky I wasn't wearing tight pants that day, else my tummy got nowhere to hide..wahahha.

So, after pancakes...IMMEDIATELY we went Bakerzin for desserts -.-" yes you heard me right..immediately. The last minute I said I was so damn full, the next minute i go for desserts :s And we ordered cheese cakes somemore. Green Tea and Cookies & Cream cheese cake. But undeniable, it's nice. It's very creamy..yummy. But I was like forcing myself to finish the whole thing..haha. Well, it's not cheap ok. So cannot waste :p Should have taken pictures for the desserts as well. Haha.

Anyway, thanks Lin for accompany me for dinner :) and sorry for the devil of me which made u bought the shoe..haha, but it's really nice :) *Hugs*

ASD Q1'07 Teambuilding

We had our department teambuilding on Jan 24th 07 and what we did this time...bowling, haha. At first we all thought "what? bowling?? errrrrr..." But end up it was quite fun and relaxing. At least we don't have to go under the hot sun, running around, treasure hunt..this and that which my big big boss from US didn't really like it as well. Haha, well you know how can you ask those people from US who get used to the cold weather to do those crazy stuffs under the damn hot sun. Even we, local people also couldn't take it. So it was really a good time where we get to found out who actually are those strikers and who actually are those drain cleaners..wahhaha. Well, where I belong to then?? striker or drain cleaners..haha. For sure, me no striker. Umm, maybe when I am lucky I might strike..but once in a blue moon..lol. But they said I got a great style when I bowl..like dancing..wahaha *shy shy* Ahemm...in cantonese we called "有姿势,没实际" kakakakka.
So on that day, I still need to came in the morning and work for half of the day as the teambuilding actually started at 2pm. But around lunch time all of us already not in the mood of working and our mind started to fly off to the bowling arena..haha. So 2pm sharp, woohoo...logoff, shutdown. Bowling, bowling here we come.....

So here it is, we went bowling Arena at Sunshine Square which was my first visit. We taken 10 of the lanes as we were separated into 10 teams with 4 peoples each. I am in team 6..hehe.

This is my team hehe. From left me, AJ, Eric and Andy. Two lengcais and two lengluis..wohohoh, be paiseh. Lucky we have two strikers in our team whom contributed most of the marks we got :p Eric from US is really good I tell you. His ball was like so powerful and it's like thunder...man, he is really good. Andy is quite good as well :) The conclusion is, thanks guys for getting us to the 6th place. Haha, team 6 won the 6th place..wahahaha.

So after bowling, it's dinner time. Where we went for our free dinner..haha. Roo's Cellar at Crystal Point. We got 3 different choices 1)Mix Grilled 2)Grilled Salmon 3)Rib Eye Steak. Hehe, of course i go for the steak..wahahah. And not to forget, all of us from the same table ordered wain for each :p. Hope we wont be asked to pay for the wain..haha. Then, the rest started to order themselves wain too..ehh, copycat. Haha, but people sure think why we can order while they can't right. So everyone got their own wain..so everyone is happy haha.

Story of the next day, everyone complained here pain there pain, shoulder pain..even ass pain also got. wahahahaha.

Appreciate peoples beside you..a word from my best friend

Not in any mood to write anything recently...still emo, still negative thinking but it's getting a bit better I guess. These few days went dinner with a few friends from my team..went lepak to temporarily throw our frustration on work aside..although just that one hour but it is the most happy hour we have for each day..wahahaha. Well, what is more better than don't have to think of work right..hehe.

One of my friend..hehe, one member of my dinner gang. She is really funny and talking to her will make you laugh till roll on the floor and burst tears. Yesterday and today she really made me laugh till i felt like breathless. Guess these two days were the only time where I really laugh my heart out. She told me "I really love to see you smile..cos you are so cute when you smile!!" Am I? haha...maybe. Cos she's not the only person told me this :p kakakaka...be paiseh

OK, come to my main topic. Recently heard of a bad news from my best friend. Her mum is not feeling well and she told me she's so afraid to lost her mum. I am so worried about her..but she is very strong and I know she can make it. She told me to appreciate peoples beside you while you can..which is your family. Yes, our family...family will never leave you no matter what happen. They are the closest peoples in your life whom you live with be with since you were borned. they hold on to you when you are sad when you are happy when you are sick....and so and so. Her words made me realise that I must love and appreciate my family more starting from today while I still have the chance to do it..although I already love them very much..hahaha. So, i told myself today, why do I wana be emo and sad about those unhappy stuffs. Being emo doesn't help anything but just making your life miserable..and you gain nothing from it. Well, all those unhappy stuffs just treat it as bad dreams u had and just left them behind..

Hoping all the best for my best friend and her mum..and not to forget my family and all the friends beside me :)

心靈箴言(十九) - 幸福女神

有個男子,孤家寡人過日子,覺得自己從未擁有過幸福,因此日日祈求神明,希望能賜給他幸福。有一晚他聽見敲門聲,驚疑中打開門,門外站著美麗的幸福女神。該男子雀躍萬分,急忙請女神進屋。幸福女神說:「請等一下,我有一個形影不離的妹妹,我介紹給你認識。」男子這才看見幸福女神的背後緊跟著一位模樣很醜的女子,他懷疑的問:「她真是妳妹妹?」幸福女神回答說:「是的,是我的親妹妹,她的名字是不幸女神。」男子向幸福女神懇求說:「能不能只請妳進屋,請妳的妹妹離去?」幸福女神說:「這是不可能的,我們姊妹倆是形影不離的,絕無法單獨存在。」男子大感為難,不知如何是好?

每個人都希望獲得幸福,但是有風和日麗,相對就有狂風暴雨;幸福中往往隱藏著不幸的因子,不幸中也一定會有著幸福的種子。身處艱困的環境中,我們更要努力以赴,相信幸福就在前方不遠處。

相遇不是用来生气的

最近收到这么一篇文章, 蛮喜欢这篇文章也谢谢把它传送给我的人。 每当我想生气的时候,偶尔会想起文章所说的,然后提醒我自己尽量不要生气。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

前往回家的公车上,
一对上班族男女恰巧在我身边,
吸引了我的目光。

可能因为人多,
男的不时地将手臂围住女的,
并轻声的问:「累不累?」
「待会想吃些什么?」
只见女的不耐烦地回答:
「我已经够烦了,吃什么都还不先决定,
每次都要问我。」

男的一脸无辜的低下头,
而后说了令我印象深刻的话。
「让你决定是因为希望能够陪你吃你喜欢的东西,
然后看到你满足的笑容,
把今天工作的不愉快暂时忘掉。
我的能力不足,
你工作上所受的委屈我没法帮你,
我所能做的也只有这样。」

女的听了后,满怀愧疚的说声对不起。
男的这才似乎重燃信心般说:
「没关系,只要你开心就好。」
而后亲吻了女的头发。
下车前再回头看看这对情侣,
男的依旧保护着心爱的人。

这样的情景,
让我觉得自己今天同样在工作上有些许不愉快,
如果没有听到这一段对话,
回家后的我,
可能也是一副全世界都对不起我的臭脸,
面对心爱的人,
只在乎自己的委屈,
却忽视对方的感受,
不自觉地伤害最亲密的人。


所以在踏进家门时,我告诉自己,
难道我要像公车上那位女孩一样忍心,
将自己的不满委屈带给身旁的人吗?
不,
我想我现在应该做的是别再把工作上的情绪,
发泄在心爱的人身上,
破坏了最亲密的关系,
并且主动给自己一个微笑。

相遇,不是用来生气的!
说得真好!
当自己快抓不住情绪时,
想想这句话,
应该会让烦忙的生活,
加些微笑的因子吧!!

同样地,
在日常生活中,
我们牵挂得太多,
我们太在意得失,
所以我们的情绪起伏,
我们不快乐。

在生气之际,
我们如能多想想:
「我不是为了生气而工作的。」
「我不是为了生气而教书的。」
「我不是为了生气而交朋友的。」
「我不是为了生气而作夫妻的。」
「我不是为了生气而生儿育女的。」
那么我们会为我们烦恼的心情辟出另一番安详。

所以看完之后…
你要和朋友..
家人吵架时…
要记得你们的相遇…
不是用来生气的喔…

然而所谓人非圣贤...
谁能不生气呢…
不过…
看了这篇文章以后…
下次要生气时…
就别生太久…
免得伤心、伤肝、伤肾又伤肠胃…

祝 ~ 天天開心!:)

Late to work...again

I am late to work again today...I was late yesterday and same for today. Hope my boss not gonna come and talk to me on this :p Damn, it was so jam for these two days. Since when working 9am have to caught in the jam..nooooo. Previously I was so happy to work 9am cos i can avoid the hectic jam of 8am and i can sleep a bit longer..wahahaha. But what happened these two days? I guess there must be something going on right..else it won't jam suddenly for no reason. Hmm..is there any road construction going on somewhere again..they always like to do it during rush hours :p So these two days were like jam on every single road you can think of around this factories area and no way to escape. Goshhh..I'll have to leave home earlier tomorrow morning than i did today.

Anyway, i received a good news today which at least cheer me up a bit from my emo..my cousin sis just gave birth to a baby girl!!! both mummy and baby are in good health.

Welcome to this beautiful world, Rainelle :)

The very first post of mine!!

Yes, this is the very first blog of mine and the very first post of mine. Been thinking of to start my own blog long time ago but never make it. Well, what makes me start it now?

I've been living in the darkness of my life recently..been very emo, very negative thinking and everything seems not right for me. Well, many people will come out with lots of so called "philosophy"like tomorrow will be a brand new day, life is always full of hopes...bla bla bla. After listening to all those so called "philosophy" still don't seem to make me feel better. But i promise myself I will somehow someday walk out from the darkness..yes, I will. Really would like to say thanks and sorry to those friends around me that really care and concern about me. Especially one person who didn't really look close to me previously is now giving me lots of courage and support!! Thanks M*

OK, so after those long grandmother stories and bullshits. Why do I wana start my own blog? Just would like to jot down bits of my life and thoughts. So that one day, i might look back what have I done for the past, all the great things and silly things I did. I am not expecting my blog to become famous or read by lots of people. It is just a place for me, myself to express my feelings and thoughts...a place to express myself! I love writing stories since I was small..and i did think of become a novelist or journalist before. But where has my childhood dream gone? i can just find them once a while when i was sleeping..in my dreams :p So here I am now, trying to at least fullfill my childhood dream, satisfy my desire of writing..although it's just in my own blog! Oh well, i might not be able to write using bombastic and fancy words but just my standard 3 - broken english..haha. But if I am to write in mandarin..i can come out with lots of fancy words..what do you expect? I am chinese-Ed okie :p

I've been wondering also lately. what is life? Life, is you keep repeating the same routine everyday? wake up..go to work..off work..go home sleep..and repeat and repeat? No, no and no..this is not the life i want. So i am starting this blog, trying to make myself dedicate to something which occupied my time and I am gonna start taking dancing class everyday..yes, everyday. And below are the classes i am gonna attend :
Mon - Fitness Jam (opss, no no Monday..its my family day. so have to let it go)
Tues - Hip Hop Grove
Thurs - X-Training

Guess I better stop here today cos I am writing this post in the office. Better stop before I am caught in action. I am hired to come here and work not blogging..ahem
