Flying in three weeks

Hmm, Thursday my manager confirmed with me that he wants me to fly over to Costa Rica on March 15th. Nooo, I thought I have more time to prepare for it. It's just three more weeks. I haven't have my visa done and I have to prepare training materials and stuffs. Guess I'll gonna be really busy starting from now.

Been dreaming of flying for a long time but this is so sudden and so rush. Yea, some peoples might have done it just in one week but I really hope I can have more time as I have to rush to KL for my visa and have to get all my training stuffs done before I fly..but, it's final so just do it then. Good is I get to stop in LA before I fly to CR. Bad is most probably I'll be flying alone. My first ever flight and travel..and I'm all alone, a bit scared actually. Well, time to get myself to be more independent haha. Like what my friends told me..it's adventorous haha. Hope I don't get lost on the way lol.

One more thing, I didn't get to join my friends for Redang trip somewhere in April anymore..sobz sobz. Been planning to go for a long time and finally I thought I get to go this time. Guess I have no fate with Redang...haaiizz

Summer Cafe

Wednesday night came back from Ipoh, thought wana bring parents for Japanese food at Pulau Tikus. OK, it was closed. Then change location to Taiwan food at 1-Stop. After parked our car, walked up the stairs..saw the light is on. Feel relief..but once I pushed the door and stepped in the shop, they waved their hand to me said "sorry we are closed today" Ahhhhhhhh, then I saw the it's writing - closed on Wednesday on the door. OK, fine next target Pizza Hut at Gurney Drive. Don't tell me Pizza Hut is closed as well ok. Alright, it was not closed..BUT the traffic was so damn jam over there. It was such a long queue just to turn in to Gurney. Just forget about it. Why?? why?? I just wana bring my parents for a good meal. Really been out of idea. Then I thought of the restaurant that just opened not long ago in our neighborhood. Wanted to try it out since long time ago. It was a nice decorated place and it's nearly full each time we passed by. OK, decided...that's our final target since it's just on the way to our home.

Never seen how it looks like internally but the out look is already quite attracting. It's called Summer Cafe. Yea, it really gave us the summer feel haha. The environment is very nice and comfortable. They have those tropical plants around and the wall of the restaurant is made of water. The Water Wall..hahaha. The wall is actually made of transparent glass with water flowing down on the glass. Such a nice wall..hehe.

Thought of wana have something light. But they don't have Ala Carte during CNY as they afraid many peoples will be coming where their chefs might not be able to prepare many different kinds of food. So, we have to take the set dinner which is Ribeye Steak, Lamb Loin, Grilled Salmon or Grilled Chicken. OMG, all are my favourite..headache of which one to choose. Hmm, I have had enough cholestrol during CNY, ok so no more Lamb or steak...go for fish then hehe. While mum and dad go for lamb and chicken. the price is RM39 for chicken while RM49 for the rest three (including 15% tax). So, is it worth the price? I don't know..well, its just once a while and I just hope to have a good meal which cheer my parents and myself up. End up, it did cheer us up :) Took some pictures of the foods and environment but in real it looks much nicer due to the bad quality of my phone camera hehe. So, for those who like to go and have a try. It's located at Tg. Bungah, just at the roadside, next to the turning to TAR COllege after you come down from the "Initial D road" kakakaka.




Fatty New Year

have not been posting any since last two weeks..been busy then it's CNY. So here I come again. All posts in one day :p

Chinese New Year?? What we normally do during CNY? Sit, eat, sleep, visiting relatives and friends..eat again, eat nonstop :s So, CNY=time to get fat (at least it's so damn true for me..cos I'll sure gain lots and lots of fats lol)**this year all my relatives said I am getting fatter and fatter :'( But I admit, I am putting on weight in just a few days time..noooooo. Blame those Bak Kua, cookies..no, should blame myself..cos those nice but fattening and oily food wont come into your mouth if you didn't put them in..sobz sobz

So, this CNY is still the same for me. Maybe not really that same compared to last year..hmm. But well, this year from the 1st day untill the 4th I was spending all my time with my family visiting relatives here and there. Hehh, we got sooo many places to go till like even untill the 4th day we cant complete our visiting tour :p Hmm, who asked my mum to be the youngest in her family..so, no choice we have to go visit people and not sitting at home wait for people to come :p I was with my family all the time and I didn't make it for most of my friends' activities. Last few years I would go angpao tour with the gangs or gathering at one of the friend's house but not this year..hmm, so sorry. But I did go gambling at a friend's house..kekeke :p Well, I am not a "Kiao Kui" haha but just for fun lar. Never had any luck for the past few years so never expect anything but just would like to have fun cos the process of playing is quite fun actually. It's different this year, got a bit of lucks hehe. Or maybe the person I brought along to join the FATT CHOY GATHERING brings me luck...hahaha.

3rd day - went SP visit Aunty. When we go the traffic was smooth but when we were going back to PG..OMG. Stuck at the bridge toll was nothing as it was expected. When we finally got out of the jam at toll and driving through the bridge, there were the traffic polices asked us to turn into the opposite lane. Hehh, our lane is doing fine what why want us to use other people's lane?? Well, just turned as instructed lar what to do. So it was like there's three lanes for those who come from mainland to PG island while only one lane for those from island to mainland. End up, we were stuck at the opposite lane for one hour. Why?? because those cars from island never expect that we'll be using their lane and came out from those HOLES without cones trying to cut queue..although the police have already placed those cones on the lane which is supposed to stop them from coming out to so called OUR LANE. So, we the explorers (my car is the 3rd one) to concurred their lane were like face to face with them and no where to go. Awwwww...the police had to lead in front of us FORCING those cars to go the hell back to their lane. Next time please ensure the lane is cleared before asking us to go and concurred people's lane. But anyhow, the best part is for my whole life I've never experience a traffic police opening the road for me before..wahahaha. Feel like those "Tua Liap Lang" :p The bad part is those opposite car drivers and passangers were staring at us like weirdo. I could see that their faces were like full of question marks haha. I am sure they must be thinking "who the hell are they..why come into our lane and made us jam? they don't look like what "Tua Liap Lang" at all what..they are just driving the same car as me and not those maseli what..." wakakaka. By the time we reach home, it's already quite late.

4th day - went Ipoh. My parents wanted to have Dim Sum as last time they didn't get to eat because of ME (felt guilty again). When we reached, there was not even a place to stand...so end up went somewhere else for curry mee. At uncles's house..no I should say shop haha..chit chatting with cousins, watching the five lil' monkeys running here and there. And again, it's evening and time to go home. My bro was heading back to KL while we back to PG. The next day both us have to start work. Hehh..exhausted. But I just work for one day and friday...wohooo, off again :p So, friday wwent to our last station for the visiting tour. Phewww, finally mission completed. ~The End~

Me in the banner..haha

After about like a year, this banner is finally here..haha. I am in my department's banner *shy shy*. The pictures were actually taken in year 2006. Thought that it'll never be printed out but it's finally here..hanging on the wall in my department..ahemm. What are the comments I received from people then? "hey, you looked fatter lar last time" Wahaha, this is the what I heard the most :p And also there's some other comments like why it is so unfair. Why? the answer is out of the 6 people in the banner, 5 are actually from my team. We have 4 teams all together in my department but only my team members are chosen for the photo shoot and another person from one of the other team :p Well ok, the Project Manager said that he'll make sure the next one will be really fair which is 2 from each team will be picked. So here's the banner. I took it using my camera phone when there's not much people around..else people will said this char boh really be paiseh one take her own picture..wakakaka.
A closer look of the banner..hehe

Sakae Sushi @ Queensbay Mall

Went Queensbay Mall again on Wednesday..hmm seemed like I got strings of activity after work in this week. Hmm..it's a good or bad sign!! Good is I got all my time occupied. Bad is I didn't get to accompany my parents for dinner. When they were still busy with their business, I was all alone at home everynight but when they are finally free at home now, I got tons of activities..woopsss.

Anyhow, went for sushi at Sakae Sushi in Queensbay Mall cos someone prived for sushi for sooo long..haha. Went once before in KL - The Curve and this is the first one in Penang. She really likes Inari alot..you can see that from our table..haha :p

They are using this "Food Ordering System" in their shop. Haha. There will be one PC on each table and you can order anything you want from the menu by adding them to your 'shopping basket' haha. It's kinda convinient and user friendly as you don't have to wait for the waiter or waitress to take your order each time you think of ordering someone. So just click and add it to your list and they will serve it to you :) They have pictures and descriptions for the foods in their menu too. End up it was too convinient that I clicked too much and causing myself to be way too full. Opss..been eating alot recently especially in this week :s Need to control abit else my new clothes not gonna fit during CNY :(

Hehe, my favourite Salmon. Thing I'll never miss when I go for sushi..yummy.

Next dish, Tempura. The thing they use to serve it is kinda...special?! Haha. anyway it cost me the most among others..but there's two prawns so still ok lar :p

Last but not least, another of my favourite - Chawanmushi. It's the biggest ever I've tasted so far. Usually those I ate before are like just a small cup or small bowl. But this is big..at least it's big for me :p but it has shark fin at the bottom oh..hehe. Hidden treasure..but not the real one it's vege shark fin hehe. So again I was forcing myself to finish it :p Ahhhhh..so full, by looking at the picture again I can still feel the fullness..haha.

Tiring week...

Thought wana post this on Monday but it was getting really busy on work this week. And I felt extremely exhausted on Monday. So finally it's Friday..huray and the work load is still ok for today. Opss, better don't say too fast..and touch wood :p Haha..everyone asked me what I did on Sunday night till I looked so tired :p Well, what I did on Sunday then? I went Ipoh. My cousin's baby - Rainelle full moon party :) Time really flies hehh..it was like just yesterday when I post about her arrival to this beautiful world. Ok so Sunday, at first planned to drive in to Ipoh early morning for Dim Sum. But end up I received call from a friend for Karaoke on Sunday..noooo, karaoke is always my first priority. It always comes first than any other thing :p So, end up I went for the karaoke session at 11am. Sorry mum and dad, bring you guys for Dim Sum some other time okie *felt guilty* :p

So whom did I join for the karaoke session, a high school friend and her friends haha. Tell you what every single person who went that day was really "crouching tiger hidden dragon" hahaha. When our session ended at 2pm, everyone was still like "Awww, it's alreay 2? I haven't sing enough yet..my songs still in the queue..bla bla bla" wahahhaa. Well, no choice..everyone in the room is crazy K kaki who'll never feel enough of singing :p So, after 2pm immediately drive in to Ipoh..hehhh

Wookie, reached Ipoh around 4pm...still early for the party so we went ahead to Jaya Jusco. Man, I was turning round and round for a parking place but couldn't get one. Then finally after like making 3 rounds at the car park..I managed to get a place..pheww. Hehh, was it all Ipoh citizens gathered in JJ today?! I got the answer when I was in in there. 8TV was having some pre-CNY events over there and the TV host Gary Yeh Jun Cheng and the lady host who hosts the traveling show '爱自游' were there but I forget her name :p Took a few pictures of them using the only camera I have with me which is from my phone haha..so can't really focus on their face. Anyway, here are the pictures..taken far far away :p



Bought myself alot of things from JJ. Hmm, am I doing alright?? haha I can't get myself a single stuff from Penang when there are lots more choices but I bought alot when there is less choices...errrr. Maybe with less choices, I can just grab which ever I found is OK and set the standard lower?? wahahhaha.

By the time we finished shopping it was already the time for party. So, heading to Bercham where my cousin sis's hubby lived. Thought of wana take some pictures of Rainelle but she was sleeping soundly all the time. I was happy that I got to see all my neices and nephews again. I was like seeing all of them borned, learnt to walk, speak and grown up..and now the eldest neice of mine is already 13. Sobz sobz..time really flies and this is indirectly telling me I AM GETTING OLDER AND OLDER as well :(

It was already kinda late when the party ended and I was like speeding home since I am working morning shift the next day. I was speeding my way to Ipoh and I was speeding home..I was like forcing my self to open my eyes all along the journey. Ohh, how tiring. Well, 140km/j might be nothing for some people but it is already the Max for me...I am a good citizen who follow the rules okie..all the while I drive only 110km/j..hahaha. By the time we reached home it's already midnight. So, the next day I was getting a hard time climbing up from my bed :(...and it was so hard for each day to pass in this week...everyday is like ages :p

Also, this week is like a sports week for me..why I say so? haha. I have not been going for any sports for sooo long but I exercise more than what I did for the past few months I think lol. I just joined the company Squash club so I went played Squash on Tuesday after work. And on Thursday I played badminton with some peers here :p Well, talk about Squash..I can't really play well but still I joined..haha. But I am kinda interested with it..basically I like any sports that come with balls but not football..haha. So, I was like the only person there that can't really play well as most of them have some kinda background or already got trained on this sports before. Hehh, was like 'mempersiasuikan' myself there :p but I will pick up...i will. Now I am getting muscles pain all over my body..great

Anyway, thanks god its Friday now..waahahhaa. TGIF? kakakakaka

Another meaningful story

Hehe, just received this story from a friend today..and looks like I like to post and share story alot. But I found it's meaningful, so would like to share it with people around me :)

**********************************

法國一個偏僻的小鎮,據傳有一個特別靈驗的水泉, 常會出現神蹟,可以醫治各種疾病。有一天,一個拄著拐杖,少了一條腿的退伍軍人,一跛一跛的走過鎮上的馬路。旁邊的鎮民帶著同情的回吻說:「可憐的傢伙,難道他要向上帝請求再有一條腿嗎?」 這一句話被退伍的軍人聽到了,他轉過身對他們說:「我不是要向上帝請求有一條新的腿,而是要請求祂幫助我,教我沒有一條腿後,也知道如何過日子。」
〔默想〕
學習為所失去的感恩,也接納失去的事實, 不管人生的得與失,總是要讓自已的生命充滿了亮麗與光彩, 不再為過去掉淚,努力的活出自己的生命。

我不懂。。。真的不懂

我不解,也不懂,更不明白。。。什么是人?
为什么人心这么难测?为什么人往往不肯承认过错而只会互相责怪?为什么人希望追求自己的快乐的同时却不忿看见别人快乐?为什么人可以睁眼说瞎话,却又若无其事般的?

开始慢慢领悟什么是世事无绝对。。什么是强颜欢笑的滋味。 一个人笑得越是大声越是想掩饰和隐藏自己的落寞。

继续怪罪和推搪下去吧!反正一个遍体鳞伤的人,已无惧再多的伤痕!!

心中的感触,原想把它留在心中。。随时间慢慢流逝和淡化。可是人,在忍无可忍的时候。。会有不同的决定和举动。一切只想随心。。随性。。

若干年后,或许会回头。。看看自己当初有多愚昧。。

时间是最好的证明和良药。就让时间去证明一切吧!!
