Happy "Moo Moo" Year!

Dear All,

I just want to take this opportunity to tell everyone a Happy Chinese "Moo Moo" New Year! To those not celebrating...Happy Holiday,k.. (Eh, please...dont jam up the road! do tell me what time u all travelling, so that i can avoid getting into the jam...hahahaha)

Cant Wait, get to see many familiar faces again after a long time. To those going home, have a safe journey & to those celebrating in KL...hehe...enjoy the traffic less highways while we are gone,k.

牛转乾坤， 恭喜发财!!

Happy Birthday - Mom!

Mum's birthday has always been the first in the family every year as it falls in January. This time Sis suggested to have a good dinner instead of chinese food since is mum 60th birthday.

Initial plan was to have dinner at Lunar Bar but it was fully booked, we took the later option & ended at The Apartment. I guess we will keep the Lunar Bar for next month as my birthday just a month away from now...haha (as if they going to take me there for sure!)

Overall, I like the setting in The Apartment...nice music, cosy,relaxing & has a great view overlooking the fountain infront of KLCC. The food taste fairly good with a reasonable price. Every single corner on the upper floor has total privacy that u wont worry of getting disturbed by the table next to u...rating of my own, i would say 8/10.

A simple evening with love ones around to celebrate birthday..it really makes mum smile from ear to ear whole nite long...worth every penny spent! Happy Birthday Mum!

Job Hunting

Looking for a job during recession is not an easy task...I face not only the competition between candidates, I'm also facing the financial pressure to meet my month end need. I guess u probably would have ask, did I make the wrong decision of leaving my ex company without secure any job? "NO"...i dont. Y?

The answers, hehe...

1) If i'm still in the company, i'm very sure that i'll be suffering the same thing over & over again for not getting pay for months.
2) Within these 6 weeks, i get to do stuff i've put it aside due to my heavy workload when i was working.
3) My family ties got stronger by day, as i try to gain back the time i missed visiting them & talk to them. (I used to give excuses of being bz at work & cant make it to see them)
4) It gives me time to think whether to change my work path or go on finding a job that meets my profession.
6).......ahemm...the list can go on & on...but the most important thing is that I put trust in God, I believe he'll show me the way when the time comes. (oh...that has to be quick..my $$$ is running low...hahahaha)

I put my options open for now, whether in M'sia or in overseas...hopefully getting job not only pay adequately, also a job that help me advance my knowledge & skill. BOSS!! any taker???!! ;p

When Faith is Tested

Fr Simon was not his usual self today during the mass. He didnt say his homily..When he told us that he cant do his homily because he felt insincere & exhausted, there were so many question mark faces within the congregation. I guess Fr needed a rest after long celebration started long before Christmas.

It was my first time experiencing this after so many years I attended Masses. In fact it was the 1st time to Fr Simon himself for not able to give sermon. (To be honest, Fr Simon sermons are one my favourites...hehe.. i know i shouldnt be saying that!)

The reason I wrote this post is not because I was disappointed with him...but rather through what happened to Fr Simon today, it renew my faith towards God. I always thought that Priests are ever ready to stand infront of congregation...It makes me realised no matter how faithful a person is, there will be some point that we may think that we loose it. It just can happened to anyone, including the priest (bcoz we are sinners & not perfect)...But it is when u think that u are lost & suffer, that's time u nearest to God. (Only is that...dont lost forever! Get down on ur knees & pray)

I hope Fr Simon will be ok next week...haha, he was telling us that he need to go for confession over what happened today...Me too, have to get down on my knees to ask God forgiveness for I felt terrible this whole week over a serious damage i've done a few days back which i'm trying hard to patch things back. (The Idiot part that i wrote earlier).

Today's mass really a good one i must say..God touches everyone through Fr Simon's suffering. Amen.

Housemates Graduation Ceremony

I was suppose to post this up two wks ago, but i was bz to put things up the blog. Two of my housemates invited me for their graduation ceremony in Institute Language Teikyo. This was my 2nd time attending graduation ceremony in 2008 & i'm glad i did.

Graduation Ceremony in Teikyo wasnt as grand as the one in Cambridge, but it has uniqueness in its own way. The headmaster started off with his speech (dont ask, i totally couldnt understand a single sentence he said...hehehe...except the "Arigatou" part). Speeches were delivered out one after another by teachers & Students for nearly 30mins, then the Certificate Giving Ceremony began. My two housemates took their turn to receive their certs...below are the videos taken when they were called. (This time I'm lucky enough that I can take videos & photos as much as i wanted..Cambridge is very strict, outsiders are not allow to use their camera in the hall thus i didnt get to take any photos then...a bit sayang thou coz i wanted to capture that moment!)

Photo session part was the funny part, the teachers (100% Japanese) were very emotional...hugging the students & some of them cried...If anyone is not that sentimental type might find it a bit exaggerated...hahaha.

I left shortly after the refreshment session starts....though i didnt taste the food, but there was plenty for everyone & looks good. ;p ..hmm...now that both of my housemates graduated from Teikyo,they are preparing themselves for their next step..to Japan of course! One have gotten a place in Tokyo & the other in Nara. (which give me a reason in future to visit Japan again...hehe) I really hope the best for them...i bet they are excited now, not knowing what to expect being there for the 1st time. ^_^
