Last Holiday Trip

Today (28th June 2009) –there’s exactly a week more of holidays before I start out with a new chapter of my life..*tee hee hee* ..A whole new WORKING world is coming to me sooner or later..and HELL am I truly excited about the entire event come fortnight. Anyway, as I am typing this entry, am already on my way to my one last holiday destination..YeeePPeee!!! …PENANG, HERE I COME!!!!

Hey !!.........

Wait a minute!!........

What did a just said??!!??....

YIPPEE??!!!......AAAAIIIIIKKKKKKKKSss…Ohhh NOOOooo….Oh Boy!!! Come to think about it..it shouldn’t be a too happy trip as it would be one of the truly one last trip I’m gonna have before I start work. Gosh…truly forgotten all about how miserable my next 1year of working experience would be when its already agreed that there won’t be any more chance to take leave for the next one year…U READ this right!!

NO MORE HOLIDAYS FOR THE NEXT ONE YEAR!! SERIOUS!!! ME AINT JOKING HERE!! *faint*~~

Gosh..truly have to fully utilize my one last precious moments of holidays *awwwwww*… this is so unbelievable ~~I was extremely excited about getting a job and having to start it so soon yet this one tiny bitsy terms and condition kind of pulled me down a little. I wonder how am I gonna survive going to work 365days a week..Ohhh…minus Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays!! Hmmpphhh....Guess I should be thankful being hired while most people would still be searching high and low for a job.

THANK YOU GOD for giving my this wonderful opportunity yet I ain’t too happy with the tiny terms and conditions. Do help me get over my tiny bitsy problem (>>.<<)

Oh well, I’m half-way through my journey right now and traffics seems truly smooth today. Bus driver is rather taking his own sweet time on the road and *Fingers cross* I do hope that I would be able to arrive on time in Penang. I never liked being late –especially when I have an appointment made before hand. I would be staying with my cousin this time around as I’d be helping her out a little with the kiddies. My little nieces – Clara,Dana,Eva and Fiona. Hehehehe..Oh well, let’s just say I’m getting myself some interesting experience this time around. I’m gonna see what’s it like being a big mama to *four little angels * - running the household chores and sending the kids to school and tuition centers.

Ain’t this gonna sound like an experience that you’ll never forget ??!!?? Bwahahahaha…at the end of the day..hopefully I’d get some interesting conclusion. Either this would bring me good memories or freak me out for good. Nay!!!! Just kidding here…It definitely won’t freak me out as they are such wonderful little angels of mine. They are truly adorable and genius kids. They are just being a little cheeky once in a while as how little kids always do and I’d just play along till they GIVE UP!!Hahahaha…Look who’s more cheeky over here now?? Oh well, I miss those times when they were younger and didn’t have to go to school and tuitions. Look how fast time flies. Me feeling old already *sob* *Sob*

------------------------------------.~.--------------------------------------------

Arrived at the Penang bus station way much earlier than expected *thank goodness*!! Yippee!! This is something good as it wouldn’t spoil my day by arriving late. Waited a while before my cousin came to pick me up and headed back to her place.
As I arrived at her place, Clara and Dana were having their tuition so I met with my little two other nieces first ( Eva and Dana). After the elder siblings were done with their tuition, we practically chatted and watch movies on Star World and Disney Channel – just like the good old days. It feels great having them around as they have lots of stories to tell. Guess that this is the only time that you can actually see me watch cartoon on Disney Channel and talk the most.

Spent a while chit chatting with my nieces before we headed out for dinner around 6pm. We went to a Chinese Cafe which was opposite Federal building. There they served nice local Chinese and seafood dishes. We called for their specialty- bamboo fried prawns, mixed vegetables, sweet and sour pork leg, and yam cake with tau-fu serving. This time around , I totally forgotten to take pictures. *shy shy* guess I was too hungry by then when the food came. Mine you, I didn’t have my lunch k (>.<)Came back after dinner – kids got back to doing their preparations for school tomorrow before heading to bed while me too also prepared to dreamland early as I was too tired to think or do anything else after the long journey.

Goodnight folks!!

Lorong Seratus Tahun & Chef Loong's

Last night I decided to go try the food at ss2- Restaurant Lorong Seratus Tahun. As usual it was difficult to find parking around the ss2 area and not to mention that the moment you found a spot slightly further from the place that you're heading to most of the spots you've passed earlier somehow or other the cars would vacate themselves. Looks like me need to do some walking to increase my appetite before I eat...haihxx..

Anyway,when the menu arrived - first thing first was to look at the average prices of the food there..hahaha..I'd say the price is pretty much EXPECTED as the environment there is like cafe style. However, there were so many nicee food there which i feel like ordering the entire menu...hahaha..Oh well, unfortunately cant do so unless I have a dozen people there to share the food with me. (^.^)

Shanghai Popiah

Famous Penang Curry Mee

Satay Chicken Rice

Penang Ice Kacang

Restaurant Lorong Seratus Tahun
56, Jalan SS2/66,
47300 Petaling Jaya.

After the meal, seems like me wanna go for some yummy desert nearby ss2...hmmpphhh..
hehe..guess I had a biggie appetite because I didnt have my lunch. On the way back - decided to stop by Chef Loong's Restaurant as I heard that there were nice "Siu Loong Pau"

Below pictures were the meals which I ordered at the restaurant (^.^) Can't believe that I had my second round dinner which was barely a 5mins drive away from the Restaurant Lorong Seratus Tahun.

Ice Mango

Fried Yam Cake

Char Siew Pau

"Famous Siu Loong Pau"

U don't wish to know what's the real story which was played over dinner ...its way more EEeeWWWW...and u won't want to eat that GREAT SIU LOONG PAU *wakakkaaka*

Had a great meal and great night of food hunting despite the bad traffic jam and drizzle in the evening . Mission Accomplish for the day!!! Woo HOo!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Jenna!! *CHEERS* ~~ Enjoy the video clips!!

Life After University

Who says getting out of university would be the BEST things in LIFE?!!?? It’s just my perception that getting out of university things would be much more FUN then it was in University. I’ve always found my university life kinda DEAD.(P.s : The feeling of getting out of university is definitely exciting – this means that we’re all gonna fly free and be wild huh??!!??)Wakakaka…Oh well, those were the days in university and now I’d “PROUDLY” announced that I’ve jus so called “GRADUATED” and practically sitting at home resting while waiting to get myself my first DREAM JOB!! *Claps~~~*

Maybe I was still in dreamland thinking “How DIFFICULT can it be getting a job as a fresh graduate??!!??” Most of my university mates were already searching high and low for jobs and I’d say that some even managed to secure themselves a place even before we took our final semester examinations. *Shy Shy*

Believe it or NOT…a person like me with reasonable academic grades even found it tough securing a job. I applied 13jobs in Malaysia and to S’pore through JOBSTREET after my final exams and within a day or two *DOOORS SLAM* and my application got REJECTED without a chance for an INTERVIEW. OMGOshH…how DEMORALISING it can be when u see yourself denied of your DREAM JOB. Sometimes I just wonder was it because of GENDER DISCRIMINATION due to the kind of field that I studied??!!?? And now I shall consider myself semi-retired even before I could even land myself my first job. Gosh!!..how pathetic it can be to think that you’re contributing to the number of unemployed graduates out there.

Anyway..guess that’s life after university. My thoughts of how beautiful the WORLD would be when I graduate doesn’t seem like it’s that BEAUTIFUL after all. There were ups and downs along the way yet thankfully I manage to go through those though times with my love one supporting me. Regardless of how pathetic I was in landing my FIRST job – the moment I finished my exams –regardless of how badly I went through the exams I flew myself to LANGKAWI and spent almost a week there relaxing . Although at the beginning before I left for my trip I was pretty much concern about how I’d fare in my final papers. The pre-results weren’t out yet till the day I got back from LANGKAWI. THANK GOODNESS I made the trip there and PASS all my papers. It was one of the best RELAXING trip I’d ever had in Langkawi. STRESS FREE~~WEEee. After that trip-there were more trips to come the moment I found myself PASS all my final papers. All the thoughts of looking for a JOB has been put aside *WEEEEeeee*…

Took me almost a month before I managed to secure myself with a job. Anyway, I may not get my DREAM JOB as a FIELD ENGINEER in the Oil and Gas Industry thus I’m still very happy with the current job that I was offered. Guess I was not FATED to pursue my career in the Oil and Gas Industry at the moment…yet I won’t give up!! My dream would come true one day if I’m still hard headed to change my career path !!*winks* Sometimes it feels like it’s the calling that I am back once again to the very FIRST place I’ve yearn to be when I was young. You may not believe what I may write here yet you’re reading it handed down first by the author itself..hehe…Oh well..as a child I have wanted to be an Electrical and Electronics Engineer in INTI College so that I can work in Motorola (ps: Now known as Freescale). All these places are coincidently the same place where I started out my further studies. Not know my fate – I ended up changing the *storyline* by taking up Mechanical Engineering in INTI College and then further pursue my Bachelors (Honours) in Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). Thus, did my Industrial Training in Freescale. And finally now..I’ve pretty much ended much right next to FREESCALE also. Guess this is just fated somehow or may sound like some CRAP to you readers out there.

Anyway, right now after all my exams and holidaying I’ve much been relaxing at my home. I’ve been yearning for the chance to stay home when I was studying in University. Thinking that my life would be most relax being at home. Yet!!!! Who says staying at home can be fun and working is TIRING??!!?? Things sometimes can be so fun when we get to rest at home yet sometimes I find that I may be much busier than I was when I was still studying in University. There’s always the pro’s and con’s being at home.

The pro’s may be
1. I get to sleep longer without anyone to disturb you early in the morning.
2. I get to continue lazing around even after we had got out of bed..just like a piggy *oink oink* practically jus do things at our own pace not knowing how fast time flies..*SWT*
3. Surf the net whole day – wakakaka..on MSN pat kua-ing.
4. Go out shopping and watch movies at the cinema. Mind you!! Lately there’s been kinda a number of good shows around this time.Hang out late nights after that – yum cha


The con’s
1. More physical activities may be involve when you’re staying home (eg: cleaning, cooking, washing the clothes and bla bla bla)..which may be very tiring
2. BORING!!! Duh…when most of our friends are working and you cannot find something useful to do
3. Spend more $$$$$
4. Take the role of the driver
5. LEPAKING/BOHSIA habits sets in..hahaha

Anyway..I somehow concluded that it may be more fun being out there working than to stay home. I love my home and my family. I like staying home with them when they are around and not when they are all busy outside too. Hehe..

Today as I was clearing up my drawer, I so happened bumped into one interesting piece of paper which I’d like to share with my readers. It regarding the value of a SMILE. This short poem here brought some interesting thoughts to myself. It made me think how often I actually do SMILE. Wakaka…I look very solemn *I guess* most of my time - rarely SMILE openly to a stranger.I could still remember one good friend of mine told me

“Hey girl, do you know that you look pretty when you smile. Don’t frown as you’d look scary like the TIGER”

At first – it was an “OUCHhh..” to me yet AFTER that I saw it as my “WEAPON” to not SMILE. Wakakaka… *kidding* Here goes the sweet little poem…

The Value of a SMILE

It cost nothing but creates much;
It enriches those who receive;
Without improverishing those who give;
It happens in a flash;
And the memory of it sometimes lasts forever;
None are so rich that they can go along without it;
It creates happiness in the home;
Fosters goodwill in business;
And is the countersign of friends.

It is rest to the weary;
Daylight to the discouraged;
Sunshine to the sad;
And nature’s the best antidote for trouble
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen
For it is something not earthly ,good to anybody;
Until it is given away

And…if we are too tired to give you a smile
May we ask that you leave one of yours
For nobody needs a smile as much as those who have
none left to gift

Love and Life

It's been a while ever since I've blogged and I've decided to reconstruct my blog and start a new chapter of my life here.

As I'm pretty much free these days, I'd spent most of my time reading interesting articles which i can find online and this story here tells us something about..... LOVE & LIFE. ( P.S : Its not about me k *winks*)


My husband is an engineer by profession. I love him for his steady nature and... I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.


Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.

I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy.

My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.

One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

'Why?' he asked, shocked.

'I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the world!' I answered.

He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased.

Here was a man who was not able to even express his predicament, so what else could I expect from him?

And finally he asked me: 'What can I do to change your mind?'

Somebody said it right... It's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: 'Here is the question.... If you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind.'

Let's say; I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?'

He said: 'I will give you your answer tomorrow.... '

My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....

My dear,
'I would not pick that flower for you, but .... please allow me to explain the reasons further..... '

This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.

'When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs. You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.

You love travelling but always lose your way in a new city . I have to save my eyes to show you the way.

You always have the cramps whenever your 'good friend' approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.

You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.

You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs.

So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ... '

My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting ... and as I continue reading... 'Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favourite bread and fresh milk...'


I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....

Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...

That's LIFE, and LOVE.

When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form ...

Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands ... AND THAT'S LIFE

The happiest people in the world.... are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.

LOVE is not just between two lovers, husband and wife--it also encompasses mother, father and siblings, sisters and brothers, friends and neighbours!

What a touching story =P
