The Real Action...haha..

A group of 37 people left Wisma IJM around 715am last sunday & reached Gua Tempurung around 10am. After a short briefing, we started groping in the dark around 1050am...hehe..Our completion time was 5hrs instead of our estimated time 3.50hrs. Anyway, in the whole event, some freak out, some gotten cuts & bruises, some enjoyed till the end of trip, some tired & all sorts of funny things happened...including myself & 15 others lost contact from our group. I guess pics speak more than words here....

so, share some photos with u all from my trip to Gua Tempurung...

The IJM Gang before entering the cave....all looks so clean....hehehe....wait till u see more....scroll down please.

Thinking this is hard? Is just the beginning... ;p

I dont have a picture for myself on this part of the route, so just take Chai's picture instead. In between this small hole laid a old tree trunk (all of us was wondering how does this trunk came here..coz this hole is far inside the cave) and muddy. We have to bend down & crawl in order to cross over.

From Left to Right : Chai, Christine, myself & Stephanie

Half time : I'm posting a victory sign after half way through the journey...everyone resting before continue walking. behind the scene - the girl in yellow (Susan), the girl in pink pants & blue shirt (Christine), the couple standing on my right (William & his wife..cute & caring couple)

Me : On a freaking dangerous yet exciting mud slide which consist of two parts : 1st Pic - Lesser gradiant slope, 2nd Pic - I'm done with the 2nd slope (wonder how steep?? 45degress...) Before we started sliding, the tour guide gave us briefing about how dangerous it is about this slope if we dont follow the steps correctly..one may end up with broken legs & arms, worst cases can cause one become paralyze.

Susan - Squeezing her way into a hole of estimated size 500mm x 900mm...the pic below is where the hole leads to...

Final pic : the stream runs through this hole, the height barely 500mm...so it doesnt give much space for one to breath freely when crawling through it. (Note: not to do this during rainy day, it can be dangerous.)

Cool Granny!

My junior sent me a blog link this morning about this Granny who's a actress of Mediacorp in Singapore....Amazed to know that blogging not only for younger generation but also to those elderly who willing to try & follow the changes that evolve around us.

Do check out her blog if free, her write up are simple & interesting in her own way...there's one she wrote about her brand new Mac Book...(huh! i dont even own one oh! hahaha..)

I wonder if i'll be as happening when i reaches her age....haha! ;p hope so..

Magnificent Gua Tempurung...Perak Mali!

I didnt think much about this trip after I registered myself for it a month ago. Now, the day to Gua Tempurung is approaching, i've mixed feeling about it... Excited? (ohh...yes!) Scare? (extremely phobia of dark & wet place!!) worry?? (haha...ya, dono if my big belly tummy & butt can squeeze between the holes inside the cave)


Here's the map, it has a few route depending if u want a dry trip or wet trip....wet trip?? ya, one will need to submerge into the water in certain part of the cave in order to cross some obstacles. My fellow colleagues & i will be taking the wet trip. Estimated time to finish is about 4hrs, hope i'll survive & get out from there without much difficulty..hehe.


According to those who have been to this place, we are advice to bring along sandal with strap, torchlight, extra clothings & waterproof bag to keep our stuff from getting wet..wearing my sportshoe for it? will think twice....worrying that my only pair of sport shoe will go out of shape when the trip is over. (ahha! dono if my safety shoe is practical for this...hahaha)

Another unrelated story, Harry Potter final book finally coming out this July. Some of the websites already started to allow Harry hardcore fans to pre-order this book. Apparently UK is selling much cheaper than in Malaysia..hmm...probably going to get friend's help to get me a UK copy then...ehehe...cant wait!

A Simple Song... Wang Lee Hom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnR5gq16goU

I like this song too.. ^_^

A Handful of Activities coming my way...

Hmm…..despite there’s lots of fun coming my way, but I felt the loneliness at the same time. I guess this is what we say….”Human, always not satisfy with what we have.”

Anyway, these are what I’ve scribbled onto my diary….

March
a)– IJM Company Dinner, 7pm, Sunway Resort
b) – KL run
c) – Farewell Dinner for my colleague (aii…a new found fren, but resigned!)
d) – Company Expedition to Gua Tempurung

April
a) – April Fool Day – Celebrating Shirley’s Birthday
b) – Jazz Concert, tickets are complimentary by Eve’s company
c)- Easter Sunday

May
a)– Company Expedition to Legendary Gunung Ledang

July
a) – Sunday Matinee – The King & I Musical by broadway musical (just saw the ad in Star Paper this morning, planning to watch it….hehe…God heard my complaint of not getting a good musical to watch.. *tah dah* He answered….thanks God!)

Oct
Trip – pending (will see what MATTA fair can offer)

Dec
Trip – pending (same as above, but also depends if the gang is going or not.)

Although I’ve all these plans, I’ll not doubt that somewhere, somehow there will be some hiccups along the way…just have to take it easy & count the blessing which God’s provide lor….

PS : Seems like only talking about enjoy, enjoy & enjoy only! u might think what else i can do other that enjoy?? haha...I guess is better to share the fun to u all rather than telling u all what worries & problems i'm facing & what's more about talking on my routine "home-work-home" stories. right?? ;p

See What I found...Interesting! ^_^

I was checking out Istana Budaya website to see if any upcoming event. After much disappointment of not able to get myself a good musical to watch, i decided to checkout the broadway musical website instead to see the latest production they have.

While scrolling down the list, I found this....hahaha...a musical titled "Irene"... (perasannya)...Apparently this musical won two awards in year 1973 - Tony Award & Theater World Award...Wow! now bad ya.

The sypnosis : A classic "Cinderella" story. Irene, a nobody, end up in a charity ball & moves up in society when an attendee places her as the niece of Ireland's Lady O'Dare. When her identity is revealed, she learns who loves her for who she really is & who for what they thought she was.

Anyway, I think the culture of going for Musical play in Malaysia still progressing slow. If one really keen to watch a good production, the nearest source can only be in Singapore or Hong Kong. Sad to say that but is true.

For example, "Phantom of the Opera" has been playing in Singapore almost yearly, infact there's forthcoming play next month. But still, no sign of coming to Malaysia. Perhaps is our local stage is not big enough to creat the effect on the show? Or maybe we dont have the crowd that passion for it? I wonder....

Another Great Production Buatan Malaysia - "Melodi"

Since young I've always admire the talent & vocal of Sheila Majid. Whenever i hear her songs play on the radio, i'll tend to get excited about it, especially the most beautiful song she sang "Lagenda" (hmm...maybe to some of u it may not be the best song of hers, but for me "Legenda" is best)

Lately, Sheila & a new born singer - Lin Yu Zhong (林宇中) came out with a new song titled "Melodi". It was written by Yu Zhong & translated into partial malay by Sheila to form a duet. The voices, the lyrics are superb. You see, that's the beauty of being a Malaysian....the Cultures, multi-races & religious often creat great things among us...Songs production is a very good example here.





Two different persons from different background walk together : Sheila & Yu Zhong during recording session - Gosh! Sheila is as beautiful & glamorous as usual eventhough she's in her 7mths pregnancy...and Yu Zhong, he is currently based in Taiwan & Malaysia, recently released his 2nd Album. He's a song writter & a composer.




Two of them singing the song together during the 50years Merdeka Celebration on 23/02/07 at Bukit Bintang.


Here's the lyric of this meaningful & beautiful song - 100% buatan Malaysia!!

Kau melodi yang indah

Menusuki jiwa

TanpamuHidupku tak bermakna

多么实在的感觉

望着你的脸这一刻

我到了被人遗忘的永远

Pertemuan yang tanpa diduga

像迷路的人找到回家的路线

Engkau bak lagu dan aku bagai irama

Bersatu kita mewarnai hidup bersama

Tanpamu hilanglah nadi kita berdua

Menderita tiada haluan

窝在握心里最动听的melodi

Kau melodi yang indah

This is how i celebrated my Chinese New Year!

This is how it begins.....

My family after reunion dinner...waiting for me to cut my little "birthday cake"..hehe. (trust me...very little)

First day of Chinese New Year...Makan Again!! The 2nd pic, my sister was trying to make fun with my cousin, just happened that i appeared infront of her with the camera & took this candid shot. ;p

A bunch of gila old girls from SMJK Hua Lian posting for Taiwan most famous "Big Head Photo"...my "hou zhi mui"...there are some missing ones though.Oya, have to say thank you for Hooi's dad for taking the photos for us.

At one of my aunty's house for Chinese New Year open house party....still in hometown, Taiping.

At Eric's house, pictures featuring Alden's Oi Si - Kelvin Ng, Eric & his girl girl (the hosts) & Kelvin's 3 princesses...Do, Re & Me.

These three pictures taken in Cherry's house pula....1st pic, Lou Sang....2nd pic, the food..(now u see it, now is gone!).. 3rd pic, we were playing black jack...Eric somehow trying to trick us...haha

At Kelvin's house, a day after "Pai Tin Kong"....his wife cooked dinner for us. See what Eric did in 1st pic...haha...18SX!!! (anda dinasihati jangan melihat gambar ini sekira umur anda adalah dibawah 18 tahun!)..2nd pic, Han was actually on his 3rd round of makan...shoo! dont say i tell ah...hehe..

Blood Sugar Level Went Low..

I was nearly blackout during my project coordination meeting yesterday morning, luckily recovered after i sat down quietly for a few minutes.. was thinking maybe i didnt have enough for breakfast & probably hungry...so took a heavy lunch after that....i was okie by then.

This morning when i got up from bed to get ready for work, i realised that i could stand up properly & head was spinning like mad. Instead of forcing myself to drive all the way back to office, i called my boss so that i could get a day off from work...

I slept through till about 9am & went to the clinic nearby. At first the doctor thought that i had food poisoning or dengue....but after a detailed check up & questioning only to find out that my blood sugar level went slightly below normal level....

I kena lectured my the doctor...why???? hahaha....i avoid eating sweet stuff like cakes, cokkies, sweets, beverage thinking of eat less of these would prevent me from gaining weight after the heavy makan session throughout the CNY....mana tau! i guess i was over doing it.... *blak* (hey, dont get me wrong, i take my 3meals properly without fail,k! i just cut down sugar!)

Anyway, the doctor didnt give me any medicine, just some suppliments & asked me to drink more glucose based drink like 100plus to bring my sugar level back to normal...hehe...i guess i've learn by mistake this time, will be more careful next time when come to choosing the right food.

Holiday over....

Back in the office after a long long holiday..sigh! quite reluctant to push myself on my work. ;p CNY for me this year was good...makan-makan, home visiting & gamble a bit...besides, taken quite a number of pictures. hmm...Still cant find time to post it on my blog, probably this two days will be up...i've to take some time to compile it & do some writing.

As for tonite, will be going to Kelvin's hse for dinner..As a Hokkien, he celebrated "Pai Thin Kong" (translated as worshiping the goddess of Sky) on the 8th day of CNY. There are many versions of why Hokkien celebrating this day, but i guess i'm not going to elaborate more here le. The point is that Kelvin kept the crispy "xxxx meat" (sorry..hehe...non halal) that he used for prayer last nite & add on another few dishes for us tonite....so, is gonna be another makan session tonite....

Often enough, many think that CNY is about family & friends reunion, eat, lepaking & .....haha...Chinese expertise...gambling. But how many have actually recall back or even look back into history why we celebrating it & what's the true meaning of CNY???? ^_^

PS : I've been weighing myself everyday during CNY...pheww!! luckily didn't gain any...instead, i loss a bit...hahaha...can see how phobia am i of gaining more weight..

Happy Valentines

Dear All,

Just want to wish you all a happy & blessed valentines day...May u & ur "Mr. & Ms. right" cherish each other always with love, patient & trust. ^_^

Unexpected Blessing From God....

I sent my car for servicing yesterday & had to leave there overnight due to some minor repair. So instead of taking a cab home, i get my mum over to pick me up office after work & did a little shopping at Amcorp Mall.

Midway of shopping, i only realised that i left my house key in the car...i was screaming infront of mum : "aarrgghhhh!!!! i dont have key to enter the house later!! where am i going to sleep tonight & what i'm going to wear to work tomorrow????!!!" At that time, mum only respond was : " I remember ur sis hand over ur spare house key to u few days back, check & see if is inside ur bag". The next thing i did was digging & digging inside my bag...pheewww!!! found it! my spare key really inside the bag!

But that's not the end of it, my spare key doesnt allow me to get into my own room. Feeling miserable, i asked my mum to send me home early. Upon reaching home, i try my luck looking into my secret place where i kept an extra key. ( ;p i was praying hard that i didnt take it out & put inside my room the last time i use it) Again! I found my key & gain entrance to my room!! YEah!!

See how God preplan things ahead for me, He knows that i'll carelessly left my key in the car, He knows that i'll not be able to get into the house.....He made my sis to returned me the key just few days before things happened. He made me kept a copy of extra key outside for my room...His love & care just overwhelmed me.

Thank you, Dear God for always there for me when i need u most!!! ^_^

Kuchai Avenue...

Remember last month i said that I've somehow achieved my first goal for this year?? I still owe some of you an answer for this...hehe...finally i can review the mystery that i've kept for so long.

I've bought my very 1st dream house!! Reason why i didn't want to tell earlier is because my loan wasn't approve & still alot of uncertainty need to finalise. (hehe...u know la...if tell & things doesn't happen very memalukan..) Now i can comfortably say it out...pheww!!

Hmm....about the details...The Development is called Kuchai Avenue located somewhere in Kuchai. I'm quite happy with the strategic location whereby i can get to Subang, Cheras, Sri Kembangan & KL easily. The price is a little on the high side though with nearly RM200/sq.ft.

What does the whole package came with?? Built-up area of 935sq.ft.. Tight security using 4 points card system.All rooms are timber strip flooring, whereby living & dining hall are homogeneous tiles. OH! i love the toilets most....both toilets are fully tiles up to ceiling height with pebble washed flooring. Shower screen & water heated were given free as well. Oya, it came with a little balcony & last but not least - a carpark.

Well, that's all i can tell for now...Excited yet worry about my commitment on this. (hehe..some of u knows, i like to make plans for travelling...) But then again, I was telling myself...if I dont do it now, when will I???

Mengapa kau masih disitu

Tiadakah jemu kau menunggu

Ohhhhh

Dan buat seorang perindu

Penantian hanya lah waktu

Dikamus hati ku

Tiada istilah jemu

Ohhhhoh

Hentikan lah saja

Jenaka bermadahBiasa terlalu sering ku dengar

Ceritera cinta tiada berubah

Hanya mimpi yang indah

Akhirnya nanti kecewa

Buka lah sedikit hati mu

Kenali siapa daku

Ohhh

Beri ku pendam rasa hati

Malu mengakui

Ohhhhhh oh

Hentikan lah saja jenaka bermadah

Biasa terlalu sering ku dengar

Ceritera cinta

Tiada berubah hanya mimpi (hanya mimpi) yang indah

Akhirnya nanti kecewa …

Tanpa mahu mengakui kau pon dihati

Diluar sedar kau ku rindui

Penantian (penatinamu) hanya ruang waktu

Tiba masa kan terbukit cinta ku

Ohhh tak mudah percaya pada pengakuan aku di hati mu yang tersayang

Hentikan lah saja

Jenaka bermadah biasa terlalu sering ku dengar

Ceritera cinta tiada berubah hanya mimpi (hanya mimpi)

Yeh .. yeh .. yeh … yeh

No doubt is my birthday, but the little boy seem like the center of attraction among all of us...damn cute fella... he sang "happy birthday" for me so loud.

Me & my share...

A small card with best wishes inside...Shirley gave me a vibrating doraemon too...but that i'll blog it out later together with other doraemon stuff i've got.

This are the wishes inside....

A thought in mind

Why continue living when we know one day we will die...What if I die tomorrow, how many people that i know of will send their condolences & pay the last respect & walk me to my grave...How many will remember me after some time.

Why love when u know in the end when both meet again in Heaven u may not recognised each other? Why earning for living & aim for worldly things when u know at the end of the road u will have to leave everything behind?

If there's so many "WHY", why do God still need to send us to this World...

I found a simple answer while I was driving home today.... God sent me here is to (be) love, to feel & to touch....because Love is the existance of God. He put me here so that i'll embrace what He has path for me long before i was born & when I meet Him again in Heaven's gate i can tell him how great it was the journey going back to Him.

One wish for my birthday..

18 more days to go will be my birthday...coincidently it is a Chinese New Year Eve this year. I'm not setting any "Birthday Alert" to u all though.. (come on! i'm not that thick face,k..hehe ;p)

Every year, i get to make one wish under the candles light on my birthday cake, some came true & some not..This year i want to make it a bit different...instead of keeping the wish for myself, i'll offer it out...i'm sure someone out there need this wish more than i do...so, if u think is urs..it shall be & hope it comes true. ^_^ just make a silent wish for urself on my b'day & i'll pray for u.

hmm...feel nice to share eventhough is not in monetary terms or virtual things...but is the thought that counts.

Little Gift from Abroad...

(back view...the black color thingy is the luggage tag...)

One fine evening when i got home & i saw a plastic wrapped parcel infront of my car porch...1st thing in mind...Yippee! present for me! Heheh...i was thrilled when i saw two HRC T-shirts & HRC luggage tag inside...all thanks to Tan Sri Alden for these thoughtful gifts... They just nicely fitted & i like them alot.

(front view)

Wanted to blog this out few days back but i was a bit lazy to use my digital camera to take the pics of the gifts..not that i'm not grateful, just being...u know (Sigh! how lazy...hehe)...so i told myself that i must do it today..otherwise i dont know when i'm going to do it.

Well,I'm going to save & wear them with a pair of nice jeans for this coming Chinese New Year....Heheh....many thanks again.

Cool English TV Series...

Ever wonder how many English TV Series related to Hospital, medical & doctors ??? hmm.....here are some i that i recalled....

1) ER - woo hoo.... old series, if not mistaken was about 10yrs ago i watched this...& tahdah! it's showing again via Hallmark channel in Astro.

2) Grey Anatomy - pretty similar to ER....great hit started in 2005. Cool cast....i typically like Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) , Yang (Sandra Oh) & Izzie (Katherine Heigl).

3) House - hmmm....Dr House...weird & yet demanding doctor.

4) Scrub - eeeerrrr.... never like this coz it is more on comedy kinda show...but once there was a friend told me the show looks a bit like Ally McBeal....i wonder.

5) 3lbs - new cast....about to get on air in Astro...i read their review online...is about two elite neurosurgeons who have different takes on how to treat their patients. One cares about them and one who only cares about their brains... it should be quite nice to watch i guess.


Well, apart from above i've a few more that i like alot some time back...like "Sea Quest" , "Beverly Hills 90210", "Dallas", "Ally McBeal" , "One Tree Hills" , "Superman" , "Friends", "Baywatch" & more....i bet some of these oso been everyone's favourite other than myself. ohh...those days.... ^_^

Welcoming the weekend....

Yeah! Yeah! Is going to be a long weekend again...can wait the clock struck 530pm today & i'll be off enjoying my long weekend liao.... ;p

hmm....likely go for a small jog tomorrow morning then head for Giant, Tesco or Carrefour to shop for Chinese New Year stuff....hehe....a bit too early i guess...see how, who knows i may ended up sitting at home watching TV the whole day.

Oya! Americon Idols fans....The cruel Simon "Mooooo"...beautiful Paula & big action Randy show is back again on Astro....haha...i watched two episodes now....This year's contestants far more darring than last year...yaiks! there's a 6ft 7 gigantic lady too in the audition.....Anyone watching too can share the funny things u saw,k....

In short...Is weekend...everyone, have a blessed one & take care...God Bless... ^_^

Count the blessing...

hehe... i just achieved my 1st Goal of 2007 today...it came so sudden, i've yet cooling myself down... ;p BUT BUT ....still not the right time to say it out...i'll let u all know when the time comes....

My happy mood scale fall on 9 from scale 1 - 10.....the remaining one is my doubt towards the goal...but i guess i'll be able to get through it though. Is a blessing from God that it happened.

HooRay!! hip hip !!! YEah!! ^_^

What u do when lonely or lonely.....

What are the things u will do when u are lonely or alone.....

These are the 10things i normally do...

1) Eat a bar of chocolate.....(this really helps most of the time)
2) Watch Astro till i get tired & drop dead on bed after that
3) Wait for the ice-cream man to come & get myself an ice-cream treat
4) Read books i bought during book fairs...
5) Drag Pooi Fern or Yen out for movie or pasar malam
6) hehe...highlights! turn on the music at home & dance...hahaha...
7) Play with my little "casper"
8) Go online....
9) Think of new recipi & start cooking in the kitchen
10) Talk to God... (doesnt sounds true rite? but i do, when i needed to find peace in me...)

Local road & highways Condition 10days after Toll fee increase...

I'm writting this after my 10days observation as a road user as well as self initiative case study on the traffic trend for future usage on my job. Belows are some results based on Kesas & LDP (personally i dont like the change...) arrgghh! what to do...

Local road VS Highways/toll roads

1) Local road - Whole stretch of Jalan Kelang Lama & Jalan Puchong, traffic jam started as early as 6.40am. Reason....most of the Puchong residents are avoiding paying extra for Puchong & Awan Besar toll.

My Personal encounter :After 1 Jan 2007, almost every morning, i spent atleast 45mins to reach PJ state from the starting point at the traffic light infront of Old Klang Road balai polis. Compared with before 1 Jan 2007, i took only about 20-25mins. Dont mention about after work, WORST!!! it took me 1hr 30mins on this stretch which is less than 10km.

2) Another local road - The link road from Puchong to Astro office....bumper to bumper until an extend of "standstill" situation for hours & more accidents have been reported due to unpatient drivers trying to overtake & driving through the emergency lane.

Ahha! what about toll roads?????

1) LDP highway - It used to be very bad traffic before & after paying toll at "Sunway Toll" regardless in the morning or after work...now, most people that willing to pay more will have a smoother traffic all the way home & no complaints like "after paying toll still jam like hell, why pay!"

My Personal encouter : LDP traffic jam normally from 5pm onwards up to 830pm or more.Few days back i travelled with Pooi Fern & Gary in their car headed to D'sara around 8pm...guess what?? the traffic was superb...i can have a car race there oh!

One of my colleague's encouter : She used to spend about an hour or more on the road pick her daughter at Assunta School & headed back to Puchong via LDP...now her travelling time using the same route shorten by 20-25mins....Amazing rite???

Well, guys & gals....it's now depend on u all which u prefer.....pay a bit more & save up valuable time to do more things....or in the other hand....stick to the jam for hours at local roads & make a big fuss after that....for me?? hehe....i've made my choice clear. I valued time more than money.... ;p

Oya....personal advice....stuck in the jam on local road may have prevent u from paying extra on tolls, but some local roads may take longer distance which eventually will take up ur fuel consumption or engine overheat....u might ended up korek more from ur pocket to pay for these unnecessary hidden costs.

So, drive safely, choose wisely & save wisely...

Is Reading Time Again!

(this is the Copy that i bought...paperback at RM29)

I remember not long ago I mentioned in my blog about this book named as "Kira-kira" by Cynthia Kadohata. Well, I gotten myself another book by her at Borders again yesterday..."Weedflower".

(this is the hardcopy type - the price is about doubled the paperback copy)

Hmm....sort of like this author's book very much after reading the 1st book i bought & started to look into more of her work. Ahha! Apparently there are four (4) more books that i should grab.

a) The Floating World
b) The Glass Mountain
c) In The Heart of The Valley of Love
d) Cracker! The Best Dog in Vietnam

I'm quite surprised that these books only came now to Malaysia market after so long they have been published. Those copy available now at the bookstores are the re-print of the original book....Sometimes, it is kinda slow for Malaysians to accept certain books. Especially Asian writters that wrote good english books.Personally, I like few of the Asian writters...regardless they written in English or Mandarin...& two that i like most are Cynthia & a writter from China - Adeline Yen Mah whom i got to know about her works via Shirley.

Well, my so call wish list on coming books....

a) The finale of Harry Potter (romours been spreading around saying it will be out in 2007...i wonder)
b) The Series of Unfortunate Event (a complete set....gosh! very expensive....)
c) The four books by Cynthia Kadohata that i've mentioned above
d) For One More Day by Mitch Albom (another great writter)

Kiasu or joining the trend & fun!! ^_^

As few of my fellow friends given their blog a new image for year 2007...haha..I did mine to follow the trend & not fall behind being a "monotonous" blog to viewers... ;p partly because of "kiasuness" character too..i guess... (probably might get a "terikut-ikut" title soon)

hmm... It took me about 6hrs to get the template up (30mins looking for doraemon's images & most of the time finding where should i edit in order not to lost my whole blogpage)...yaikss...i was a total dummy when i started doing it coz i've no idea where to start off with....hehe...it turned out quite nice thou after much trials & errors....

Oh well, here it is....my brand new blog page.....for atleast.....very long time before i decided to change again.... ^_^

First day of 2007

Cant believed that is 1st day of a brand new year now....well, was on the run whole day...watched "sinking of Japan" (is a nice movie, recommended...featured many tourist attraction in Japan such as Himeji Castle, Miyajima Island of Hiroshima, Hokkaido & more..)
Then went for a 6hrs shopping with Yen, had tea break at Kim Gary in between....& had dinner with Gary, Houn, Pooi Fern & Pooi Teng before headed home....hehe....quite a good start though..

Happy New Year 2007 Everyone!!

bye bye 2006 & helo 2007....

hmm....Is this time of the year again whereby everyone starts to plan for the coming new year, the new year's eve celebration & wrapping up whatever still KIV for the year....including myself too started transferring those important notes from old diary to new diary & clearing things a bit here & there.

Sad to letting go 2006 coz it has been a great year but cant wait to see what God has paved for me in 2007. Hmm....i probably will do more travelling next year regardless locally or overseas. (hehe...many of my friends left for UK, Canada, Taiwan, China, Australia & NZ...it gave me more excuses to travel...hahaha...that's also if my pocket money & leaves are sufficient..)

Some achievements in 2006 that i had... (it may not sound as spectacular like others, but i'm happy that i've done it..)
i) Travelling - Kuching, Hong Kong & Japan ( it was a good experience for me to see Hong Kong & Japan....)
ii) Job - found a better place to be at & with better pay of course...haha
iii) Singing with the choirs for Christmas eve in my church....
iv) did a little bit of running here & there...in return, i lost some weights...hehehe...

For 2007 wish list?? haha....too many...i cant be greedy though....have to see what God allows me to do....just put it this way, His will is my will....i'm sure my dearest Lord will provide enough not only for me, is also for those dearest to me. I just have to pray & trust in Him...of course also a little effort from myself to makes everything in place lo...rite? ;p

Honestly, I really hope 2007 will be better for everyone (including those outside this little world of mine)....sometimes really wonder what has gone wrong when natural disaster, robbery, poverty, killing & raping, political wars & conflicts are happening more & more in every parts of the world....is that the sign of end of the world is near??? I wonder.....

Coughing, Coughing & more Coughing....

Hmm....started off with a bad morning today.....havent been sleeping well for the past few nights due to coughing....& today happened to be the worst....tonnes of phlegm throwing out from my throat & hymming sound when i breathe...worst still coughing like when an old junk truck trying to get the engine started in a winter morning.

I bet i'm not the only one down with flu & coughing.....during last weekend i've already been told that Alden, Han, Shirley & Cherie also down with the same sickness i've....what a good christmas gift we all get...haha...i wonder how they cope with it. For me, i just hate it whenever i get these two sickness....i remember i had it also towards the end of last year & had to be in the clinic everyday to inhale a gas form of medicine for about a week. (gosh! it cost me alot man....thank God that i can claim from the company)

Well, i guess i just have to stay away from ICY COOL drinks & Ice cream despite if it is a hot day....atleast until i recover....it will be nice if anyone could pray for few of us for speedy recovery...thanks!

Michael Wong (光良)

He did it again! I'm sure many have heard his latest song - "I am who I am"...I bet it will be another prize winning for him. I immediatly fall for this song when I first heard him sang during his concert back in September this year in Bukit Jalil.

haha...As for my friend Shirley so addicted to Jay Chow's song so much...myself pula, Michael Wong & Victor are both I like most for local singers. Michael's talent in composing touching/meaningful love songs & great skill in playing piano while Victor charm everyone with his voice & talent in plucking beautiful music with his guitar.

I remember the first time i met this duo 11years ago in Penang Hall, they sang their first hit -掌心 (Palm), then i started to follow their news, buying every of their new albums.....then the split...i would say, the split make them even better....

Among those songs written by Michael that i like most are, 約定 (Yue Ding / Commitment), 都是你 (Dou Shi Ni / It's You) and 擁抱我(Yong Bao Wo / Embrace Me), 勇氣 (Yong Qi / Courage), 我等你 (Wo Deng Ni / I'm Waiting For You), 戀 (Lian / Love), 童話 (tong huà/ Fairy Tale), 多心 (duo xin/oversensative), 有你在身旁 (You ni zhai shen pang/With you beside me), 想見你 ( xiang jiàn ni/Want to see you), 胡思亂想 (hú si luàn xiang/Thinking too much)....haha...& more....lazy to type liao.

My new work place & soon to be EX....haha

Hmm....i've just tendered another resignation letter yesterday after two weeks working in this current company and will be joining another company soon. Well,i've better offer & find that this place is not what i want to be after much consideration.Kind of bz with finding the right spot to get myself settling down for these few weeks, is quite tiring actually....once in a new company, everything have to start from scratch again...But i'm not complaining, changes is good! ;p

Anyway...my current company just shifted to new office, so we had a opening ceremony held last friday.. nothing spectacular though, just some photos to show how the place looks like & the people i'm working with...oya! apparently, Hann's Ex-colleague happened to be one of mine now. Hehe...what a coincidence! (sigh! always having problem when to use "-ce" or "-t" ....can someone tell me if i use it correctly this time????)

(The Gang....hehe...i was at the reception taking care of incoming guests when they took this photo)

(One of the top person in MPL Grp, S'pore....i was putting up the corsage for him before the ceremony starts..)

(good food.....from Mum's Place Restaurant)

(5kgs special made mocha chocolate cake by Bon Bon's Cafe....my favourite Cafe...hehe...for cake lovers, u should try that place..."advertisement time"...hehe)

(part of the office....some of the partitions has taken out during the opening)

I hope will have more to write for this coming festive season & new year to come. hehe...my updates are falling behind...another vacation will make it better i suppose?? haha..

*** eerr....i'll be in the Choir for my church on christmas eve this year....anyone coming to celebrate together?? hehehehe....***
