Out of the Ordinary

Dedicated Post to Kayren

A post dedicated to Kayren!

Firstly, sorry for not updating this as frequent as I am suppose to be. Didn't know that you've been reading and waiting for updates =p

Well, just something to entertain you hehe A holiday back in July with the family plus my uncle's family. Total pax : 9 of us. We went to Bali!!!! It was a lovely place. The view was spectacular and the weather! OMG! Was amazing. It was about 25 to 26 degrees everyday! So it's like walking around in the air condition room - this is because Bali gets the cool wind from Australia during their winter month. If you want to go when it's not that hot, July's the month and you'll love it!

I didn't buy much in Bali - as I feel that the quality of the hand made things are not as good. The only thing that I buy since day 2, is the slippers! haha Which is like Rm3 for a pair!! Gosh, I think the girls bought a total of 40 pairs of shoes combined.

I love this place - Uluwatu! Gosh - the sunset is magnificent. If there weren't any monkeys around, I think I'd stayed on longer. The monkeys there are a pest! They grab your glasses, necklaces (ANYTHING that is shiny) from you, then you'll have to pay the guys to get some food to get back your stuff! Such a cheat, the monkeys are probably trained to do so. And since I have monkey phobia - I have to keep a watchful eye so no monkey is near me! Never know when they will attack!!! I don't know since it's a tourist attraction - these monkeys problem should be solve.

Uluwatu

The slippers that mum and I bought (didn't include the cousins coz they were busy unpacking)

Must try - not to bad, fried duck. Apparently the famous one and not to be missed!!!

Paddy field view - they're everywhere

This is at a volcano, can't remember the name but the view is like in the Lord of the Rings
valley view haha

Just for laughs

Speaking English with colours!

When the phone rings :

Green! Green!
I pink up the phone and say yellow? Blue is this?
White you want to do?
You don't purpley call me, if not I will not call you black...

what do you think?? cool huh!!!

2 years passed by

2009-05-05T21:54:00.003+08:00

Dear Kong Kong,

It's been 2 years now. Somehow it still seems like yesterday it all happened. Things have changed for the past 1-year. I made a big move, I am now back home in Miri, working.

How are you there, ah kong? I still wish that I've spoken to you the night after your operation. I should have insisted Siaw Su(youngest uncle) to wake you, so I can still hear your voice, the last time. I still miss you…

Our CNY celebration this year was great. We ate at home this year. We didn’t go out because of last year’s experience in the restaurant. It was horrible.

So, this year Ah M said she'll cook steamboat! It was soo good. The food on the table was plentiful! Despite so much food served, I secretly missed one particular food. Pan suh! Pan suh that’s being cooked by you. My favourite dish, done only by you. Siaw Su says he can cook it the same way as you did!!! I didn’t get the chance to try it because when he cooked it, I was back in Miri already. Siaw Su said he will do it next year for me. I can’t wait.

The entire visitation that we go, we’ll definitely speak of you. We went to visit Lau Kou (your sisters) and Lau Chek (your brother), I’ll picture that you were with us. Lau chek look so much like you, do you know that? When I look at him, I see you. Picturing how it’d be nice to have you here with us, talking and talking.

Pek pek(dad's eldest brother) and us, we'll be going for a holiday. I am sure, you'll be coming with us too, if you're still around. Our first combine Goh's family trip =) I'll tell you more after the trip.

Always missing you.

Your granddaughter.

Miri Life

It’s been a while since I last updated the blog. Not that I don’t want to update…I hardly have a lot of things to rant about =) or to share.

How can one complain so much about staying at home when everything you want is available? Home is indeed the best place ever. Might not want to leave home anymore!

Here’s my daily routine:
I wake up at 0500 then I head to work by 060 or 0610 the latest as I don’t want to be caught up in the so-called traffic jam. The jams here aren’t that bad compare to KL. It is still moving though there’re many cars. I just like to have a smooth drive all the way without stopping too much.

Then I knock off at work at 1600. I usually will go for my walks with Jennifer before heading home at 1730. I recently started playing badminton but not sure how long would that last! As walking in the sun at 1630 sometimes is TOO HOT and I have to use an umbrella! Don’t mind the stare it’s my face/skin that needs protection.

After my walks, I have tuition. I give tuition to primary school kids for Maths, English and Bahasa Malaysia. They’re a lot easier to teach. I have a few secondary kids but mainly Bahasa Malaysia and History. Gosh, it brings back memories on how I used to study history. When I was in high school, history was one of the subject I dislike soooo much! Now, I can’t believe I am teaching it. I’ve taught them in school when I was doing my temp job. It wasn’t that hard after all! After all, I did international relations in uni so I like the subject and it’s related to HISTORY! And basically needs a lot of memorizing and knowing the FACTS correctly. That’s all. Probably due to poor language, that’s why they do not understand what the teacher is teaching and sometimes students would like to know more and that’s where story telling comes in. I love CHINA’S history!

After my tuition, I usually hit the sack by 2130! Yes, 2130 I’d be asleep. My whole routine will start again at 0500 the next day.

Happy Valentine

2009-02-15T16:39:00.003+08:00

Hello all, been really quiet for the past 2months. With New Year gone and Chinese New Year just over, I'm back.

Been really lazy to update my blog mainly because my routine is always the same, no thing to really talk about. Daily working hours from 7am to 4pm. Then later tuition from 7 to 8.30pm. It's been like this for the past 1 month plus coming 2 now.

Went to Kuching to celebrate CNY and I had a fantabulous time there. Can't wait for the next CNY hehe I am already missing all my cousins there. It's always about food and food. And also our 2nd year without grandpa. We are still missing him, always.

Some holiday plans...will be going to Singapore in June. Saving up for the mega trip, destination, unknown yet. Hopefully it's somewhere where the time zone will be different.

Bye Bye 2008, Helloo 2009

2008-12-30T07:52:00.003+08:00

2009: A new beginning for muah; new place, new life, new work and new love???

The first 3 are settled just the last bit haha need extra hard work or maybe not.

Motto for 2009 : DOD (Do or Die) hahahaha

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Welcoming 2009

2008-12-23T15:50:00.002+08:00

2008, lots of changes in my life.

Packed my bags and left Kuala Lumpur.

Now in 2009, I'll be in Miri, maybe for the next 3 years =)

Got a new job in one of the MNC here. It'll be a real challenge because I really have no idea what is awaiting for me.

I pray for God's guidance in me and my daily life. May He always be there for me and my family. I ask for safe undertakings over my family, grandparents, sister, and all my family members.

I thank You for loving me everyday and not letting me down even though sometimes I do feel that You've abandoned me.

May 2009 be fulled with lots of blessings and love.

Hospital and grandma

2008-12-03T08:10:00.002+08:00

Popo is currently in the hospital. This will be the 3rd day of her admission. Flew to Sibu on Monday with mum after we recieved news about her. She didn't look so well that's why we flew in.

Her pneumonia is back, this time not sure for how long? Her condition goes up and down. One day she'll be ok, she'll have difficulty in breathing the next. It tore my heart to see her in this kind of state. What's more...whenever she cough, she'll BO and without realising it. This was what she told me, or she doesn't want to trouble anyone that's why she just kept quiet.

This old lady, my grandma who was very good in making my favourite rice dumpling(Chang), rice cake and even sew my PJs and some dresses...is now sitting on the bed, with a oxygen mask over her mouth, and defribillator beeping away...

I prayed, asking God to heal her, so she can come back to us, resume life as before, I am not sure if that will be answered but I am praying really hard for that to be answered.

Popo looks like she is ready to go, especially with all these difficulties she is facing, which is to breathe...she keeps telling everyone that she is happy that she is going to see the Lord.

I still can't let her go =(

Dejavu

2008-11-27T18:45:00.001+08:00

I have this dejavu feeling....

Coming home is good...extremely good.

Can't believe there are still people who can still recognize me after all these years...say 8 years since I last met them? hahaha

Gosh!!!

Winking

2008-11-23T21:34:00.001+08:00

Is winking a GOOD or BAD?

Some people thinks it means naughty business...actually most people think so...is it true?

I usually wink because its out of mischief, like playing a joke on somebody etc but never naughty naughty business you know what I mean?

Food

2008-11-09T21:59:00.002+08:00

The Annual Dinner for the school was held at Eastwood Hotel.

And the food was horrible.

1. There was no chopped garlic available (out of stock, according to the waiter) Gosh...garlic are so cheap! Why don't they provide and it's like the essential thing in every restaurant.

2. The first dish which was the cold dish was err well only 3 dishes provided. I thought usually 4.

3. Of course, the fish (steamed tilapia) which is the fish that I don't eat because it taste like mud. And when you steamed it, eww the after taste is very unbearable. That is why I never touch the tilapia when it's serve.

3. The lemon chicken was like paper thin (the chicken) and coat with THICK flour. The flour is like 2 inch while the chicken slice is super thin!!!

And all for these, I think it all comes down to the price that we paid for muahahaha

And also, MOST of us complains so much that we don't see it in front of us. If we think we are so much better, why don't they take over the job and do it? Why complain so much if you think you can do better? But if they were offer, they will of course decline it...it's like, if you don't want to take over...just keep your mouth shut. Appreciate what others are doing and stop complaining...everyone has their own flaws....no one's perfect, mind you.

Gee... gosh... blank!

2008-10-17T21:52:00.002+08:00

I haven't been updating lately because I hardly get online nowadays. Even if I did, it's just to check emails and stuff I need. Plus, I'm not sure who's reading out there so I hardly write now

I find it pretty weird to have educators who are simple VERY quiet...cannot talk and not able to communicate with their own colleagues. I do have one so called colleague at the moment. Gosh...she's like a block!! Ask one question, answer with ONE word and after that ignores you when we cross path together. I thought educators are vocal....plus she's MARRIED!! I wonder how she went on a date with her husband hahaha (I know I'm evil, but I can't help it)

Apparently some students still doesn't know my name or sort of forget...so I told them my name is Chocolate, and they believe!!!! muahahaha

A week's break

2008-09-30T22:55:00.002+08:00

I'm now having a week's break for Hari Raya!!!

Cool huh??

It's been already a month since I came back and I am still loving it =)

Went up to brunei today and bought a curling tong!!! So happy with it tho I never used it before hahaha

hmm...nothing much to say lar hahaha

Updates updates

2008-09-24T18:25:00.002+08:00

Being a teacher is fun and yet challenging. The kids are challenging to handle...need special skills to handle them. They are still childish in their mindset but yet still want to be treated as an adult. What to do...rebellious kids are at this age haha
I was once their age so can think what they are thinking actually =) They aren't like college kids where they will keep really quiet in class, these are like monkeys on the loose as if first time out of the cage so need something like TOYS to distract them. Of course, I don't bring toys for them, I distract them with HOMEWORK! hahaha no wonder teachers always give us lots of homework to do while in class sheesh haha My homework has to be done in class right and then and time is given so they feel the anxiety!

Also, being a teacher makes me feel 'big' and 'special'. When I walk on the walkway, students will greet and also make way for me so I go first. Parents addressing me as teacher, cikgu and 'lau shi'(in mandarin). In another words, tho these students are naughty, they still show respect to their teachers. It is always very funny to see students who talk so loud to friends and when asked to answer questions, they become totally silent! This has been going on for years even during my years hahaha

It's fun I must say...totally a different experience to begin with =) My students are fun.

FAMILY

2008-09-13T13:33:00.002+08:00

FAMILY means FATHER AND MOTHER I LOVE YOU!!!!

Sometimes, it's just so funny that we are always very nice/polite/courteous with strangers but not with our family members.

Do you know that if we die tomorrow, a company can replace us within few days but in a family, our place can never be replace?

And so life in Miri Starts

2008-09-09T18:36:00.002+08:00

It's been about a week plus since I came home. I am liking it to the max everyday! tho there are a few things I have to say...

1. I am teaching Form 3 and 4 Geography

2. Drivers in Miri drives really slow! haha it is so different from KL. Most 80kmph. Of course, I am stuck to this limit because if I go too fast, the road isn't as smooth as highways in KL and another, because mum is in the car so I have to drive safe

3. Everywhere around Miri is so near to each other. Tho parking sometimes is hard but then everything is so nearby that you can park at ONE parking spot and walk.

4. Everywhere I walk, I use an umbrella! So different compare to KL as this I couldn't be bothered at all but here, I'm using it. Just like a princess hahaha

5. I HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE AROUND!!! NO more relying on public transport or friends coz I feel bad asking their help. I can go anywhere I want.

6. BRUNEI here I come....can resume the shopping in KB like before

HOORAY!!! hahaha

Home at last

2008-09-01T08:26:00.002+08:00

Finally back at home =) Packed all my life in KL and now I'm back in Miri.

Pretty quiet compared to KL life, life here is so slow. Unlike in KL, everyday is a rushed even on a weekend.

I am missing ONE UTAMA, GSC etc right now. Even secret recipe hahaha gosh, gotta get use with all this.

Liquid food only

2008-08-18T13:48:00.002+08:00

I'm now a baby! No solid food for the next few days because of a huge ulcer that I have on the inner side of my left cheek. It is so bad that my left cheek swells. I am not able to chew any solid food at all. Though I tried, I was in such agonizing pain that I decided to settle for just water, any kinds of water/drink.

To sustain from getting hungry, I have oats with milk, very very watery oatmeal so it's more like drinking nestum. It is just just so painful! Tried to gargle with mouth rinse in order to kill the bacteria in the mouth and boy oh boy how it stings till there were tears in my eyes! Yes, it is that painful.

Oh wells...I really do hope that it will heal pretty soon!

What an experience!

2008-08-15T15:17:00.004+08:00

I can't believe I have the opportunity to touch this car! It is one of my 'fun' cars to drive around.

It's amazing...the pick up is good hence the price! haha

Easy to drive too though it took me awhile to guess where the handbrake is located! haha I asked one of their staff where the brake was and he couldn't figure out till I bend down and saw it. It's exactly like a Merc handbrake which is located on the right hand side, the Merc is on the left hand side.

Not only that, I get to enjoy this car for quite awhile too. Wanna know why? Stay tune and you'll find out haha

Dedicated to my darling housemate

2008-08-13T10:15:00.002+08:00

I've sold my TV =) Praise the Lord, my colleague took over it from me. *phew* It was one of the biggest item I own.

So, after taking the TV away, my room feels quite empty. Being such a darling, Irene lent me her TV! Therefore, I have a TV to watch in my room till I leave. *YIPPEEE*

While watching TV in the room, Irene's outside on her comp...I sent this to her :

Sharon : Hey dear, thanks so much for letting me use your tv! Muacks! Hugs!

Irene : haha you so mo lui lar funny lar you :p *hugs*

Did I tell you how much I will miss you? How I will miss the loud loud laughter of yours? The chatting session we always have which makes our place seems as if we are having a party??

2 weeks

2008-08-09T22:16:00.002+08:00

Wow! Time DO flies fast! I have another 2 more weeks before I head home =)

I am not sure what my feelings are currently because I am mixed emotions...but the emotions are more swayed to going home hehe the eagerness to be at home with mum & my room.

I still have things to pack...not entirely finished up packing esp my clothes. Otherwise, I am more ready to go. Remember I have moved in May, and I threw out most of the things I hardly use? So now it's like the 2nd moving so I don't have that much things left.

I am sure for this year 208, I have move the most! In May, I move to my current place. Then my office shifted in July to is new premises. And now, I am moving back home! 3 times of moving in less than 6 months! Amazing huh? I am sure that I am quite good at packing now haha

Packing is easy. Unpacking takes time but I think unpacking at home is easy peasy job...haha just throw out my old clothes and put my new ones in. (New ones as in the ones I wear in KL) Now that I only have one place to go, I don't have to have 2 sets already. See, when I was in KL, I hardly pack my clothes from KL to Miri because I have clothes back in my closet at home. So now that I am permanent in Miri, the clothes in Miri can be given away and KL clothes will be worn in Miri now haha (so 'new' wardrobe tho it's not entirely new)

Alrighty....going to catch the Olympics.

Oooo...Olympic opening in Beijing was fantastic! I am very proud to be a Chinese =) and proud that my ancestors are from China. I am the only 2nd generation in Malaysia. So, Chinese blood from China still runs deep in my family hahaha

A Road Trip over the weekend

2008-08-06T10:02:00.002+08:00

The road trip started on a Saturday, with 3 of us driving down to Terengganu then to Cherating. Of course, we stayed over at Terengganu after a 7 hours car ride. Then leave to KL on a Sunday, stayed over the night and continue our journey on Monday.

It was then the 2 of us, we left for Melaka, then to Kluang then an impromptu decision to S'pore. The stop at S'pore was supposedly to be done on Tuesday but because I decided we should head to S'pore at least we have a few hours to shop! So to s'pore we drove, without any S'pore dollars in hand!!

Since it was our first time driving to S'pore, it was a little havoc for us. We need to purchase VEP(Vehicle Entry Passes) something like the Touch n Go card in KL at the immigration and thinking they will accetp NETS or credit card. Too bad, the immigration doesn't accept any of those so both of us approached the public to change Msian to S'pore dollars! haha The guy was of course confused by us at first but we managed to change S$50.

Then, thinking she can remember the roads, we drove around looking for the hotel. Of course, we got lost! hahaha but it was fun! Driving in a foreign country. Almost had an accident because one freak run the red lights when my side was green!!! I must say, the buses and taxis there are almost like KL. They are the KING of the roads!

It was just a fun but tiring weekend with the road trip. I think with we can accumulate the hours of driving/being in the car. The total comes up to 28 hours of driving in 4 days!!! TIRING HUH!!

Will tell more when the time is near, as this road trip is for a work purpose =)

Fun time is over

2008-07-27T19:46:00.002+08:00

Had a faboulous time back at home for the weekends. Met up with the gang, and of course missing one as usual that's Na! haha Hopefully we can meet as a whole again when Na comes back in Sept!

Flight is supposed to be at 9.40pm but now it has been delayed to 11.55pm! Airasia...expected lar. So will arrive LCCT at 2.05am, and probably settle by 3.30am. Work again tmrw but few MORE days haha can say about a month to to? Hmm...counting the days definitely!

Not willing to go back but I guess have to go just for the sake of staying till the 25th...

It is official now

2008-07-15T16:59:00.002+08:00

It is official...my last day is on the 25th August. I am leaving KUALA LUMPUR for good on the 29th August. Will be going back to Miri to work for the time being till the time comes =)

I sure did have a good time in KL, in fact it thought me A LOT of things. Staying away from home has made me grow fonder to home!! I DO miss mum's nagging, mum's food(MOST), my bed and soo many things that I believe you guys will experience when you move out of your home(I use HOME not HOUSE). This made me appreciate HOME so much more and I am so looking forward to work back at home. To be close with mum and dad, though dad is now working in Kuching, but I can use the bus/take a flight to see him whenever I want to. Of course, my family members are at home so I am also very well taken care of. I need not worry about food, about cleaning the house etc. When I am home, everything is just there for me =) I am really glad that I do have this opportunity to be at home for the next one year before the big move begins.

I thank God for providing me everything while I was away from home, now I am going back with fruitful heart. I am looking forward to be serving in church too. It's been a while since I last served. I think it's time to go back home for a while to find out my true self before going out again.

I miss home, I miss mum, I miss dad and I miss my friends back at home. I am shouting out loud saying...I AM GOING HOME TO MY NEST, FINALLY!!!

Who has a hard time using my can opener! hehehehe

It was hilarious to watch her using the can opener. My can opener opens from the TOP not the side and she didn't know...hahahah

*evil laughter

Busy month

2008-07-05T20:30:00.002+08:00

This month will surely be busy. Working on mostly weekends, and one weekend, I'll be back home (hardly can wait) then I shall be counting the days to go back home for good!

There's so many things I need to get settle, I think. I have some things to sell hehe will make a post about the stuff that I will be selling =D other than that another round of packing to be done, imagine that I did the packing thing like 2 months back! Only 2 months back I was packing and NOW I am packing again! I thought I'll be here longer but I guess plans does change hehe

All I want to say is Praise Lord for providing. Trusting in Him right now is sometimes hard but I shall stay strong always =)

I am already at a CBB mind

2008-07-04T12:41:00.003+08:00

It is just so funny that sometimes people need so much reminding....it is of course not my duty to remind and of course I don't like to remind because it makes me feel like a clucking hen!

It is already written out, is there anything else that it is not well written or what? Plus before this, it was already discussed and agreed on...what else do they want? Perhaps they only understand certain language which I don't know? And if we see things are left like that, then should be left the same away after using it, isn't it?

I just CBB with anything right now except my own 4 corners. Yes it used to irritate me but it no longer does. For heaven's sake....it's not like they're 7 year old which needs reminding always.

A reality yet to sink in

2008-06-29T22:18:00.002+08:00

It's been few days since I've tender my notice. Not feeling sad or anything yet at the moment, probably because the time is still not near yet. My official last day is on the 25th of August.

Actually I am quite looking forward to go back home to work...what kind of job? ANYTHING! At this point of time, I am not being choosy, I never been anyways. Don't mind being a cashier in a supermarket hehehe

I am quite happy that I am now finally going back home for good...years of waiting, a dream to come true...to my own cosy bed, yes I miss my bed back at home, freedom, my old friends back in high school. Of course, I will miss my friends in KL =)

Right now, no time to think of that yet coz I'll be busy with a movie...hehe yes! My first ever movie and probably my last too since I'll be doing something else when I get back.

A new chapter in my life

2008-06-27T09:32:00.000+08:00

I have officially tendered my resignation in my current company. Yes, I am leaving =( I do feel heavy hearted but I guess I have to make a choice for my future.

I will be going back home to Miri to work while waiting for the time is right for me to move on. I will surely miss everyone I know since uni days especially my dearest housemate Mz Q, whom I have stayed with since my 2nd year in university. We even moved together from SS2 to our current place.

I will also definitely miss my workplace and colleagues who have been so good to me =) I know they wish me all the best in my future, but leaving them is leaving quite a big chunk of my life in KL behind. They will always be in my loving memories.

God always do have a special way in showing his ways. Beginning of this month, I was very anticipating my new baby, asked Mz Q, she knows what I’m talking about. But somehow, everything has changed now. Just like that, I am leaving KL.

I have always wanted to go back home to work but never thought it will come so soon.

Anyways, side track a bit, I am quite irritated and angry at the moment. He decided to change the password to our wireless connection without telling anyone in the house JUST because he can’t connect to the internet. Well, hello….we are fine with the old password, and normally if we can’t connect to the internet, it’s STREAMYX!! Anyways, where’s the courtesy to tell everyone in the house? This situation is like changing the house lock and not telling everyone in the house! It’s not just you alone using it ok…..=_= AND I THOUGHT I HAD THE MOOD TO DO SOME RESEARCH!!! JUST ANOTHER NIGHT WASTED!!! BUMMER……

Climbing Mt.KK

2008-06-21T21:32:00.002+08:00

Suddenly, I have the urge to climb Mt.KK.

Anyone interested??

Points to ponder

2008-06-20T08:31:00.002+08:00

A penny wise, a pound foolish....

IF one center is selling at Rm559 and the other at Rm500...where would you want to go?

Distance : Center one at One Utama and Center two at Midvalley.

Currently location : Stuck in Bandar Utama, Uptown. With heavy rain and traffic. Plus need to fill up gas before going to Midvalley (Probably another Rm30). To one utama...gas can still sustain.

Which one will you pick?

What a tiring month

2008-06-14T11:44:00.002+08:00

I have been traveling on the North South Highway for at least 5 times for the past 1 1/2 months!!! Considering that I am not local in the west hehehe

I can drive around Taiping & Ipoh now hahaha I know where to watch movie in Ipoh ho ho ho

Anyways bottom line is, quite tiring to be traveling almost every week (driving Ok, not flying) I think flying wouldn't be that tiring and consider that I'm one of the drivers as well!!! So yea it's quite tiring!

Had lovely time working with my team during the shoots =) especially the Perlis trip. Wish I could go to Indo with them but unfortunately, budget doesn't permit *sobs*

Afraid?

2008-06-08T18:37:00.002+08:00

I am!! hahaha

The picture sure does tell how afraid I am hahaha

Life is hard

2008-06-06T16:14:00.003+08:00

I am very sure, this is written in every blog you come across. The topic that hits the nation hard. Petrol price increase, rice and others.

Sad to say, Government says petrol price is still lower but have they come into consideration about the salaries that people are earning?

Rm3.50 per hour in fast food area but in Australia is AUD8. So to sum up, if one were to work about 8 hours in a fast food outlet in Malaysia, they earn RM28 a day. In AUD, they'll earn AUD64. See the dif? If the worker eats out, he'll basically need to spend a least Rm10 on meal so what's left? Rm18 only isn't it?

Oh wells...if price keeps going up but then the salary doesn't go up, not many people can survive. Not only that, those who can afford will sure leave this country and don't even bother coming up after experiencing better amenities outside of Malaysia. This is sad but true and it's happening. How will Malaysia be develop? If everyone goes outside to study and not wanting to come back, knowing the condition is?

Think Think...improvements to transportation, salaries yadadad has to be revised. But I guess it's not my say coz I'm just the general rakyat =) So, I think you all have in mind what I have in mind already...hahaha

I miss you

2008-06-06T15:18:00.004+08:00

I dedicate this song to you, Grandpa =)

This song means so much to me. Every words written here are exactly how I want to tell you face to face but I know you are there listening whenever I sing this song. I want you know that no matter what, you are always in our heart even you are not here with us. I miss everything about you grams,

Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms

I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me

[CHORUS:]
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you

You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast

[CHORUS]

I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me

*Sorry guys, trying to figure out how to upload the song here haha

I have been hiSSed by the snake lady

2008-06-02T20:46:00.002+08:00

Well I'm going up to God-knows-where tomorrow and will be back on Wed/Thur. Depending on the snake lady.

I thought that this would be a good week to start off with but it's the other way around. Had a shoot which was pretty ok and didn't start out quite well cos I was too nervous I can't even remember the fuel tank of the car is on which side! So everybody in the car was laughing at me.

Fine, then going towards location, my dear dear cameraman decided to say, "Sharon, we need to go back and get a charger." So I had to return to the office. Ok, so that's the morning shoot.

In the afternoon was a bit ok, cos it's very sci-fi kind, so nothing much. But the end of the day was the most hmmm... *sigh* Well, I have been literally hiSSed by the Snake Lady. Hear from me soon if I survive.

PS. This was typed by Ms Q. Thank you :)

IF ONLY

2008-05-30T08:02:00.002+08:00

If only everyone has the thinking of being considerate...the world will be a much better place to live in.

Not taking things away without telling everyone especially if it's a common are and when others want to use that particular thing, it's not there and not sure who has taken it.

What about mess? Well this is one thing, I have to deal with EVERYWHERE I go! It's everyone's space there. We have to 'share' with each other. Imagine having things here and there, how to you expect people to enjoy that particular space?? It'll be a sore in the eyes!!! Messing up somebody's place is not a very good idea! Especially before using it, it's clean then after finish using it, it's messy! So, what? BAN you guys from using it and also make a scene?

SO IRRITATING!!! AS LONG AS I HAVE A SHARE IN IT, I'M GOING TO BE VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT THE MESS AROUND. IF THE MESS IS ON YOUR TABLE, FLOOR, COMPUTER IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS. SHEESSSH!!!!!

Pictures and just pictures

2008-05-27T16:06:00.003+08:00

Not very sure what to write here so I'll just put up some pictures, hence the saying 'the picture tells a thousand word'?

Check out my eye bags and my 'sepet' eyes!!!!

Dark then darker

2008-05-22T17:01:00.001+08:00

I have turned really dark or should I say in a better way tan??

Arghh!!! Need to stay INDOORS more now!!!!

A few people commented that I've turned DARK, BROWN? BURNT? hahaha

How bizarre!

2008-05-17T09:17:00.000+08:00

We have been having things missing in the old house....

Karen's tops, blue tooth...

Irene's black top...

And my Bouvril!!!

I knew I packed it together inside the boxes that says 'Food' and I've unpacked everything already and it's no where to be found...

How bizarre!!

Irene says they grew legs and walk away...

Year 2008

2008-05-16T14:23:00.003+08:00

It's almost middle of the year of 2008.

Half of year 2008 is almost gone and it seems like only yesterday that I celebrated CNY back at home.

Looking for to July and August =) Meeting the loved ones soon...can't really wait for that.

Counting down the days already, too early? No...it's never too early for that.

What a surprise!!!

2008-05-13T21:03:00.002+08:00

This is what I received when I arrived office after going to the Indonesian Embassy today =) All the way from Penang!!!

It's a wrist rest. See how it matched my computer =p RED haha soon I'll have all things in RED or PINK. And I know you'll do too haha

Thanks dear!!!! Made my day *wink*

RHB service is lousy!!!

2008-05-12T14:16:00.004+08:00

Never ever do loans with local banks in MY case...RHB. They take forever to get back to you...what kind of lousy service is this!!! Public bank, EON bank is SO MUCH FASTER!!!

DARN RHB SERVICE!!!

Staying in apartment

2008-05-11T22:45:00.002+08:00

Inconvenience Number #1 (The Main one)

When visitors come, the host will have to walk down to the guard house to bring them up. Which means, host will have to go out of the apartment, waits at the lift, walks out of the building to the guard house, meets the guest at the guard house, bring the guest into the building, wait at the lift and walk back to the apartment. When the visitors are leaving, host will need to bring them out so the whole cycle repeats itself again and this time back to the apartment without the visitors =)

Today, I did the whole round twice! hahaha Lots of walking up and down and going in and out of the lift.

Very interesting. Visitors can't just walk right up to the gate anymore...what a bummer. But still glad that it didn't deter them from visiting me! hehehe

Thanks jie jie and yeh yeh.

Such slow service

2008-05-10T18:09:00.002+08:00

I can't believe that RHB Bank Malaysia is so slow in their work!!!

A simple loan which takes like 2/3 days to approve is now taking SO long. According to my agent, they will call since I change the loan repayment years, and they never call! And never hear anything from the bank. I have to call my agent to chase him after that.

What kind of service is this? Public bank takes so fast!!! I regretted getting my loan from RHB. Should have taken Public bank or EON. So remember, when applying loan, please apply for overseas bank. Their services are fast!! Unlike local banks which take ages!! And their service is so damn lousy! Trust me...even when you go to their banks to do banking, their staff are also slacking. I am so sorry to say this but it really portray such impression. They work slow...really slow. Sheessh!!!

A year already

2008-05-08T09:05:00.002+08:00

It's been a year and 8 days since you left us, kong kong. We still miss your presence a lot.

Just some updates for you kong kong, This year's chinese new year we all went back to Kuching for the celebration. We all had a wonderful time back in Kuching.

We are still so used to having you around that during lunch/dinner time, we still accidentally call out your name to ask you to eat. Especially kor kor, there's once he said Ah Kong Ah Ma chiak! Very loudly. We all knew Ah Ma heard it but she just pretended as if it was not spoken.

And once when I came back, I saw Pek Pek with Ah Ma at the table, I thought it was you, and I said I'm back Ah Kong & Ah Ma only to realise it was Pek Pek. We all miss you, Ah kong.

Ah Ma is doing fine, she had a fall yesterday. Not a serious one...coz she wanted to show us yoga hahaha and hurt her knee. She's fine. When I called her, she laughs at it. Now, everytime we go back, we will take turns sleeping with her. Taking over your place on the bed...how we wish you were around. Sometimes she is so restless at night, worrying about this and that. I think she misses you a lot, Ah Kong. But she is keeping it silently to herself.

Ah Siang kor kor now has a baby daughter. You'd be proud being for having 3 great grand children now hehe

Papa is now working full time in Kuching. He does visit Ah Ma regularly back in Sri Aman. I haven't been back to Sri Aman since your funeral. I am yet to see your nice feng shui. I went back to Kuching twice last year but Ah Ma will be down in Kuching to see us.

I still miss you, Ah Kong. Your presence is so powerful in our house that every time we go back, we sense something is missing. You are not with us in everything we do now. During breakfast when we all will go out with your kolok mee rounds and even supper hehe You're the most happening grandpa who will eat anything with us. I miss your 'pang soh' & chicken boxing. Always talking about these with kor kor & jie jie.

Love you Ah kong.

Embarassing Moments

2008-05-07T08:00:00.002+08:00

I guess I can never have enough embarassing moments while staying at apartments especially at the lift area.

This happen to me not only once but a few times already. And history repeated itself again on Monday, when Miz Q and I decided to throw away the boxes we used while moving. So off we go to the dumpside =) which is situated at the Ground floor...we are staying at the 11th floor. So Miz Q happily pushing the boxes away in her new trolley and I carrying a few as some boxes were in awkward position to be place on the trolley.

And so we arrived at the lift, there were a family waiting so we thought to let them go first. So we waited again, waiting to ambush the empty lift. It arrived with ppl inside + a small trolley. So we let it go. Then the third time, it was empty, I dash for the empty lift, and Miz Q quickly pushed the trolley to the lift. GUESS WHAT? Miz Q trolley was stuck! Because we didn't position the boxes properly....we forgot to calculate the width of the lift and we just stack the boxes accordingly! and there were ppl behind us...and watching us trying to make our way into the lift. I was laughing so hard and so is Miz Q. It took us I think a good 5 mins to get into the lift. I guess the ppl watching us had a good drama to watch.

The same thing happen when we go out of the lift when it reached Ground level...

I guess I have to get used with these moments for now...never stayed in an apartment before so most of the times when I move things around, I'm still thinking at house level hahaha

I am Back!!!

2008-05-06T09:32:00.001+08:00

From 6 days of shoot!!! It was tiring but FUN!!!

I was sick throughout the project : lost my voice and had slight fever here and there. Nevertheless, I manage to pull through =)

Did white water rafting, with the camera hahaha and I fell into the river!!!

Can't wait to see the end product of this shoot! Very excited.

Summary : Having 12 kids on the shoot is NO joke! So restless and noisy. They're a fun bunch of kids. Lots of drama happening too hahaha for kids their age.

What a change

2008-04-27T22:08:00.003+08:00

It's only 850sqft.

Moving has been tiring and so far so good. Finally stayed there on the saturday. Not so good as it's facing the high way...so pretty noisy. But still bearable.

Changes : I need to take a bus to work...from a bike to bus. Don't know how the system work yet...but will find out. But I know MALAYSIAN BUSES are never on time. We can never predict/estimate the arrival or the departure of the bus even there's a schedule but then it's not reliable at all =) Welcome to Malaysia!!! A friend of mine, waited for an hour and a half for a bus from Section 17 to Asia Jaya LRT. Not surprising to us, as we all foresee this happening...Malaysia ma...what can you expect.

Guess what? Who says we need a man in the house...I manage to drill A curtain railing in the sitting room by MUAH!!! Pretty easy to drill, just the screwing and fitting it up the wall took a while hehe

Cleaning n cleaning

2008-04-25T09:59:00.003+08:00

Working REALLY hard cleaning the floors huh guys?

Finally!!! Have the keys to the new place aka the apartment. And so we(Miss Q, J & myself) went on a cleaning spree on Tuesday. THANKFULLY the place is SMALL. Just 3 rooms and one HUGE square!!!

The place is definitely SMALLER than our current place...can't believe I'm moving into an apartment. Never stayed in one before in my life!!! Moving our stuff to the apartment takes up LOTS of energy! And definitely needs a trolley...and hmm lots of embarassing moments esp waiting at the lifts with sooo many things and a huge trolley!!

Sweetest Thing

2008-04-09T17:44:00.000+08:00

is to have something offered to you when you never even asked for =)

So blessed to have my friends around me =)

Charges

2008-04-08T12:52:00.004+08:00

With effect of 21st April 2008, checked in luggages/baggages will be charged RM5 per piece if customers were to check in at the counter and Rm3 per piece if customers PRE BOOK the luggages (whatever that means)

WHY is AIRASIA coming up with all these charges? APPRARENTLY AIRASIA stated customers can SAVE money! HELL what the F*** charging $$ all the time for this and that despite the 'CHEAP & AFFORDABLE' airfare???

Okie fine, their tagline...EVERYONE CAN FLY is true...coz NOW EVERYONE can fly coz other AIRLINES charges are higher than AIRASIA. But has customers think about this?? Imaging 7 hours flight to Brisbane, NO FOOD and NO SERVICE and have to BUY (don't know how much it'll cost for international flights) at the end, the comfort is at the price the customers pay.

AIRASIA's service if were to compare to budget airlines from overseas ain't that good afterall. I flew from Melbourne to Sydney few years back with their budget airline which is around AUD$175 with pretty good service and all. PLUS FOOD (FOC) I don't think AIRASIA is able to provide that FRIENDLY service. Their air hostess, I should say, should be neater...can still see air hostess with their fringe in their face...and yet they're the one handling the food. YUCKS! And everyone has the SAME hair colour...and if the hair grows, there's 2 tones...like a skunk. Shoulder length hair are not tied up but let loose...not professional look...

ONE thing I can summarise, I only FLY with AIRASIA because I CAN'T afford MAS. But at the same time, Everytime when I book a ticket, I will still compare both airlines. If MAS is only a difference of RM50 or less than Rm100, I'll opt for MAS still...just like my recent HK trip ;)

Summary : Pay for what you ask for...meaning, if you want to pay cheap airfare, be prepare to get LOUSY service and vice versa. BUT it's ridiculous to have charges for EVERYTHING later on in AIRASIA. What's next? we need to pay for the seat belts or perhaps a latch to unbuckle the seat belt? I AM NOT SURPRISE if AIRASIA does so in future...

April is here!

2008-04-05T13:52:00.002+08:00

Busiest month at the moment so far. Will be moving =) and also having outstation shoots. Tiring but not complaining =)

Things are going well so far. Praise God for He is the provider like always!

Need to gear up!!!

Thank you dear Lord.

CNY short video

2008-03-30T21:38:00.004+08:00

My very own editing skill hehehe took some footages during CNY at Aunt Nana's opening and at home. So here it is.

What do you think?

NO luggages

2008-03-30T13:32:00.001+08:00

Horrific findings :

Miss Q doens't have a luggage!!! I asked her how does she bring clothes back, she said with her small bag that looks like a school bag.

I was SHOCK~

Dealing with all the junks

2008-03-27T09:23:00.002+08:00

I would say that there's pretty much junks in the house because previous tenants tend to leave their things in our house when they move stating that they will come to collect it but after few yearS, their things are still inside the house!!!

So obviously, it's like a dumping ground to them and they don't need the things anymore, not willing to throw them out so they decide to leave it behind saying they will need it some day. After few years, do you still need it some day? I don't think so...

So what I think I should do, is leave those things behind or just throw it away when we move. I do not want to waste my $$ calling them (this will be like repetitively smsing them and telling them please come to take your things, we are moving already yadadada)Their JUNKS are NOT my responsiblility.

We even have a TV set that doesn't belong to us! And it's been there since a year plus and the owner has not come and claim its right! Believe it or not? Well believe it!

I am definitely NOT going to lug the things that doesn't belong to us to the new place because we already do not have enough storage, considering the fact that we will need to leave some things behind already and taking the necessity with us what more to say deal with the junks previous tenants leave behind? NO WAY! I need to pay for the transportation, but they don't. SO WHY SHOULD I?

Oh wells, I shall just leave it for now. And will update occasionally on our packing stage muahahahaha

Moving Moving Moving

2008-03-26T09:28:00.002+08:00

From a landed property, which is a double storey house to an apartment *sigh*

I have never stayed in an apartment before. Back at home, it's landed property. Then when I came to KL, firstly in the uni's hostel then moved with Irene and the rest to a double story link house.

Now both Irene and I are moving into an apartment. Which mean....less space, yes there is NO store room. The sitting room & dining hall is in the same space. Picture this...it's square and at the side, there's a sink by the wall. There will be 3 rooms, all occupied. NO place to keep SO many things. We have a built in cabinet in the kitchen right now, but the apartment has nothing.

Both of us will have to think which is necessary and which is not as we will have to leave behind wahahahaha

On the good side, the rooms are bigger than the ones in HK hehehe but HK has a small little kitchen which this apartment doesn't have. So the kitchen cabinets, cupboard will be exposed (ugly la) but what to do..

All these for the sake of cheap rent...under 1k and easy maintenance =) What could I ask for more...*sigh* just have to get used to the change I guess.

There's facilities like swimming pool, tennis court and badminton court. heard there's a gym too but not sure how's the gym like hehehe at least can burn some fat while staying there ho ho ho

MY VERY OWN

2008-03-22T21:31:00.002+08:00

CROCS!!!!!!

Thanks to my beloved sista....she bought this pair of crocs for me *wink*

It's purple...same as hers, and we both bought the same jibbitz (the greeney thing on the shoe) hahaha

So now BOTH of us has the same pair of shoes!!!!

Off to the outskirt of KL City

2008-03-18T21:14:00.002+08:00

My first outstation work : To Pahang, to trek down the elephants =)

So yes, I'll have to be in the jungle. Not sure how's the condition is going to be. My very first time in the jungle in Peninsular Malaysia. It will be in one of the conservation centre here.

The first shoot for the animal documentary that my company is doing. Will be going up(I'd say coz it's in Pahang) with a colleague of mine. And yes will be staying there for 3 days max. We have to wait you see, so we are not sure if we are able to capture any elephants or not. If there's something interesting going on, we might stay for a week (away from civilization - brings back memory from my mission's trip to the Penan Village back in Sarawak many years back then)

Oh wells...I was soo looking forward to the public holiday this coming thurs, and obviously I will have to cancel all my plans *sigh* like REALLY HUGE SIGH So wanted to rest, haven't been feeling very well for the past few days.

Okie dokie...pray for my safety and hope NO leeches attacking me. See you all soon =)

Disastrous Weekend?

2008-03-17T19:03:00.002+08:00

First of all, I would like to make an apology to all because I didn't take any photos of the A Famosa Waterpark as I have stated in my previous blog. WHY? Here's why :

1. We had to keep our stuff in the locker in order to go around freely. So the camera was left in the locker as we all will be going on slides and in out of the water...so camera is a NO NO.

2. A FAMOSA IS DISASTROUS!!!! SERIOUSLY IN BAD SHAPE!!! First is, there's NO lifeguard at the slides...jeeezz how can this be??!?!? I was soo aghast!

3. Only few rides that's interesting...to be more specific, 3 slides in total???!!!

4. AND I PAID RM40 for the entry fee and a lousy packed chicken rice meal!!

Conclusion : DON'T EVER BOTHER GOING TO A FAMOSA'S WATERPARK. Sunway lagoon is sooooo much better. There's the crowd there too and even water rides at sunway! Haiyo what a shock! Even the entrance fee for wet and dry is less than RM40!!!!!!

So we left the waterpark around 2pm. Went in around 10.30 almost 11am. Then decided to check in the hotel. Then went shopping in Mahkota Parade and SATAY CELUP (YUMMY) hehehe

Think will NOT visit MALACCA for a while now. Probably in another few more months/years then will revisit...hahaha

My gosh!!!!

2008-03-14T15:01:00.002+08:00

I am really aghast with how G work!!! They can't give proper information to those who needs it and can pass you to one another!! Why can't they change when they know that a lot of people are complaining about their services! Been trying to get hold of certain people to know how can we/I get information for research purposes, they cannot help and all they can say is write in. Okie fine, I am OK with the writing in, but after writing in, they don't know where does it goes. Who to pass it too etc etc All sorts of rubbish and passing around and in the end, don't know where it ended up and need to fax in again!

So ridiculous! Don't they have an agency/department who can spare information about the parks/sanctuaries that's out there so people and call in to make enquiries. Plus those who knows about the sanctuaries are always out in the sanctuaries and heavens know, there wouldn't be coverage in the jungle as the sanctuaries are definitely NOT situated in the city area! So if I want to find out or talk to somebody who is able to answer some basic information, I have to look the head, who is ALWAYS NOT AT THEIR DESK! Golly!!! Plus, the website information is NOT enough for me to find an interesting story to feature. I need to speak to somebody like a human! So far, at least one zoo is willing to help, and that's because they're privatize.

Horrible. I am appalled by the way and efficiency that works here...and if I write in, takes me at least 2 weeks to find the answer? Just for a yes or no...hmm horror horror horror

Updates for the week

2008-03-13T09:42:00.002+08:00

Lee Juan came and went back to Kuching. Had a lovely time with her. We stayed at Boulevard Hotel. 2nd time, I'm staying there with her. If i were to compare, the breakfast at Boulevard hotel has gone down. Not much choice at the table spread...very sad. Used to like it better than Cititel. That day, I had only croissants with butter and jam.

This week, I'll be going down to Malacca with Boon and Jia Yen. Will be meeting Juan and Ser Hui there. We'll be going to A Famosa water park and be staying at Seri Costa Hotel. Will update with pics when I get back hehehe Hope it'll be a fun day and it pray that it doesn't rain then hehe

Till then ciaooo

Back from HK

2008-01-24T21:19:00.000+08:00

Went and came back from HK!! IT was a lovely trip. I enjoyed myself and the weather here pratically. As for food, I fell in loveeee with dim sum. BET that I will not be able to find a dim sum place as yummy as in HK. Will only have to dream about it for now till I go back to HK again.

Met up with Daniel, Valeria and Simpson there. Daniel brought me to do most of my shopping heheh thanks!!! Went to disneyland with Val & Simpson. It's like in another magical world there. Went the time came for me to leave Disneyland, I was quite heavy hearted. The show performances was fantastic!!! Magnificent!! Watched praticaly most of the shows there!!! Didn't waste time lining up for the rides as they're mostly kiddy rides. Just went for one roller coaster and that's it. The rest was cam whoring with the disney characters hehehe

Embarassing Moment

2007-12-29T11:50:00.000+08:00

1. I went to Esprit with Boon. Saw a cardigan that was nice so I asked 'salesman' where is the cardigan. Then the guy replied saying, 'I also don't know, I don't work here'!!!! Ooopsssss...mistaken identity hahaha he was wearing the exact uniform as the salesperson in Esprit!!!! Just no tag which I realise later on hahaha

2. Went to buy a phone charger for the phone, then couldn't seem to get the phone charged when I plug into the hole. So I went back to the shop, asking them why I can't plug into the hole. Then the guy took the phone and charger and I saw him flip open a flap and plug the charger into it and it works!!! I'm like OH! Where do u plug it in? (pretending I didn't see the whole thing) so he showed me hahaha then I told him oh I plug it here then he laughed and say that's for the headset.

There!! Don't I feel like a bimboo??? ahahaha

French Manicure

2007-12-26T22:54:00.000+08:00

Went to pavillion and saw these pair of Adidas Superstar 2 at ADIDAS outlet. They ran out of sizes. Then we went all the way to BB plaza and to find out there's only 2 colours left : baby blue and orange. I want the pink!!!! Coz it's nicer.

I am in a PINK colour craze now.

I am bored

2007-12-18T22:47:00.000+08:00

2007-12-10T15:23:00.000+08:00

Thanks to mummy and daddy dearest and also my little sister =) I manage to get this new toy =)

Sista...thank you so much for taking the old one so I can have the new one =) Love you!!!

Thanks mum and dad for sponsoring most of it for me =) love you sooo much!!!

MUACKSSS!!! HUGSNKISSES TO YOU ALL!!!!

How irony!!!!

2007-12-07T21:01:00.000+08:00

And finally they called to ask for my help!!! hahahaha

WHY? coz she was admitted to the hospital for some allergy reaction. AND so, she called to ask if I can go to HELP on set. To make it sound nice, she called to ASK if I can go on set to help! hahaha Now how does that sound?

After trying to 'push' me off the set, I let go. Not wanting to know/care so much about the happenings there...just mind my own business in the office and get my work done. Do not really bother me that much right now

I was pretty surprised that she actually called to ASK for my help!!! ASK hahaha surprise surprise

I get irritated

2007-12-05T23:10:00.001+08:00

1. When people do NOT answer their phone after I've been calling for a few times....so busy that you can't even text me to ask me to call another day...Mind you this it NOT work...speaking of friends...

2. Who DOESN'T reply MY smses...when I asked questions...Even if one is busy, I believe they are able to reply right? Where's the courtesy?

3. argh...don't know what else to say la about the above...

Just find that some ppl needs to go for phone courtesy training. I DON'T pick up my calls AFTER work when the office called...excuse me...I need my NIGHT to myself??? I've left the office already, why still call me? They can leave me a msg and I can get back to them the next day if it's really that important. But if My friends called or smses, I always make it a point to reply despite me being busy...it's courtesy...I mean polite in some ways when friends asked questions...or asked how am I doing??

Right or NOT???

My personal DNA

2007-11-28T22:31:00.000+08:00

2 more Episodes to go!!!!

2007-11-27T17:17:00.000+08:00

YES!!! ANOTHER 2 more episodes to go and it's going to OVER! MY FIRST DRAMA AS THE PM!!!

I'm counting down the days to the FINALE!!! hahaha seriously it's texting me too much! Not worth it at the moment...

Can't wait to go back!!! WOOHOOOOO

It's tough

2007-11-19T21:28:00.000+08:00

being a grown up....even tho I'm now 24, does that consider I'm a grown up? I know back then, ppl at my age are already married and raising family. I am not...Thank Goodness for that...

I know I've mentioned this before...I don't want to grow up yet...I know when I was 17...I wished I was in my early 20s...but now when I'm in that age, I wish I'm back in secondary school.

I know I am saying this because I am in a depressing mood, I miss home so badly now. I want to go back if I can...and go back to work. I envy those who have their families close at heart...I need mummy's hug and TLC so badly that I'm tearing as I type this...

I want her care, her hugs, her kisses and all her home cooked food that I miss so badly....

Mummy & daddy, I miss you terribly...

2nd post in a day

2007-11-15T15:41:00.000+08:00

I am currently in love with this song...actually I've always loved this song. But somehow I am more in love with it right now...Just love the bass being played...

RAIN DOWN BY PLANET SHAKERS

I am falling to my knees
I need You Lord to breathe in me
My prayer is still the same
My heart is calling out Your name

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace

Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Here in Your presence I am free
Pour down like rain
Come and touch me again
Lord let Your presence fall on me

I’m longing just to see
Your power and Your majesty

Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace

Sweet anointing
Wash me over
Sweet anointing
Wash me over

To lash out my frustration

2007-11-15T08:54:00.000+08:00

I need a place to lash out my frustation, to express my feelings, to shout out lout, to scream about Sadiq & Co!!!

I am soo tired of them pointing fingers at me, esp my schedules. I have been doing the scheduels since it started. Like looking at which scenes to shoot on the days I was given and also liase with the casts' timing. To get everyone on set so they can roll the camera.

AND yet, I get complaints or should I say, they basically said that it's because of my schedules everyone is tired. The casts' get annoyed for waiting so long to do their scene.

HAVE they thought about...if they changed the call time, did they inform me about the changes so I can tell my other talents or extras to come a bit later? NO! My schedules are just guide lines for you to see what to shoot. My timing may be off coz I don't go on set. I just schedule according to what I think it's ok to me. And I release the call sheets early so you guys can have a look and get back to me. NONE of you did that except during the day of the shoot!! This is becoming very frequent.

LAST NIGHT I HAD LIKE 3 exactly smses!! Telling me that I didn't give them enough set up time! I gave them 40mins and time to roll camera, PLEASE PLAY AROUND WITH THE TIMING. HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GONNA SHOOT?!?!?! First the director sent it to me, then the producer forwarded the director's sms, then the assistant director forwarded the SAME sms to ME! HOW IRRITATING CAN THAT BE? THE assistant director added that 15mins is NOT ENOUGH FOR SETTING UP. I'm LIKE HELOOO...I GAVE YOU GUYS 40mins for master setup, which is the normal duration. AND THEN COZ it's at the SAME PLACE ie: reception area, I GAVE ANOTHER 15mins to change the casts' wardrobe and to reset the ligthing since you've already have the master setup!!! UNLESS OF COURSE they change to a different location perhaps into the office, then I'll give another 40mins of setup time!!!! WHAT THE HECK!!!!

It's like I am getting blamed for them RUNNING LATE!!!! PUH LEASEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! MY TIMING IS ALL ESTIMATED TIMING. I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW LONG DO YOU NEED COZ I NEVER GET ANY FEED BACK. I TRIED SO HARD TO PLEASE EVERYONE and you all thought I just put the time for fun??

FINE if that's what you all want...I GIVE YOU AMPLE TIME TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. DON'T COME BACK TO ME AND TELL ME WE HAVE OVERRUN! THAT is NO LONGER my problem. IT is YOUR problem on set! I am just scheduling it so you can know what yo shoot. About timing...You were NEVER ON TIME! NOT EVEN ONCE WITH THE TIME I GAVE!!!! SO can it be MY FAULT?!?!?!?! YOU never even once try to follow the time that I allocate....can't even push your director for heaven's sake!!!

I AM JUST SOO UPSET!!! Seriously I AM! If things doesn't go well on set, it's my schedules problem...WHAT THE HECK!?!?!

P/S: I am so sorry to my readers...this is a very angry post. I don't know who should I confide to or to say anything. I am so angry and upset that I don't know who to tell around me. It's like I want to tell someone who can listen and probably advise me but somehow...I just can't talk about it. It just makes me boil even more..so sorry =)

Fickle

2007-11-12T20:36:00.000+08:00

I have such a fickle brain!!! hahaha

I can't even decide if I like or I don't. The feelings changes every time haha I am so sorry if I have giving you all such a hard time =) thank you for your patience ya

bear with me...I know time will tell for me to find out hehehe

love you!!!! muacks!!

Regrets?

2007-11-10T21:27:00.000+08:00

I shouldn't have done that....Now things are looking different.

I thought by telling, it'll get things easier. I guess there's always a 50-50 chance. So I should be prepared. I was prepared. But why am I feeling this way?

If I didn't, I will never know. But now I know...it's painful. It's always painful to know the truth.

Things may not be the same but I'll have to pretend that I don't what I know.

I should have just kept it to myself. Now, I'm regretting it a lot. It will be totally different now...

I hate it. I am such a dumb dumb. Can't believe I did that...

Regrets regrets....let's just pretend it never happen. Let's everything go back to normal...

Home home home

2007-11-08T22:59:00.000+08:00

I am dreaming of going home now....

counting down the days =)

Stress and more stress!!!

2007-09-01T16:39:00.000+08:00

I'm starting a new tv drama...it's a law series called Sadiq & Co.

Starting shoot on the 17th of September onwards.

I am feeling very scared, tensed and stressed out everyday now....

cause now I am sorta PMing for this drama. My first time PMing so am working quite independently with my line producer overseeing what I am doing.

I have to look for locations, casts, extras and arrange for the shoot dates with my main cast. Get the schedules done etc etc There's so many things to do but so little time to think.

I am very scared that I won't be doing a good job.

It stresses me so much!!! I hardly see everyone at home nowadays. Hardly even speak to my housemates. Just a merely of Hello and bye that's all!!!

I really scared...please pray for me. I really do need God's guidance in me right now.

Going to church tomorrow after so long...I miss His presence. Have been really tired...

Pest!!!!

2007-08-18T15:54:00.000+08:00

My house is invaded by ANTS!!! Grr...DIE HARD ANTS! Been trying lots of attempts to get rid of them but alwaysa fail!

I remember when Dion was still around, she will shoo the ants away. But to 5 of us in the house, we'll KILL them instantly! Dion will say shoo ants, shoo ants. She will not kill any of the ants...

Anyways, I was telling a friend of mine about the ants problem in the house. He said that my house is too sweet dy.......dunno how to answer him haha then he asked if there mice in the house. So i thought, ants and mice have connection?? Then he said that he's house has mice! hahaha

I suggested to keep a cat coz it will work, too bad he doesn't like cats...so mouse trap is the other option. Dare not use the poison coz the mice will die somewhere and it'll be smelly which is worse. So I told him about the glue thingy to catch the mice.

Then he said that when the glue dried up, it won't be sticky anymore. I'm quite puzzled already but then I told him that the glue doesn't last forever. Have to change when it's dry...so he asked what glue do I use? Was is elephant glue!!!!???

That made me laugh real hard!!!! hahaha I realised what he meant by the glue dried up!!! hahahaha So I have to explain that there's this SPECIAL glue to catch mice hahaha

Elephant glue to catch mice?? Hmm...perhaps in Ken's world :P

Your Birthdate: July 25

You excel at anything difficult or high tech.

In other words, you're a total (brilliant) geek.

It's difficult for you to find people worth spending time with.

Which is probably why you'll take over the world with your evil robots!

Your strength: Your unfailing logic

Your weakness: Loving machines more than people

Your power color: Tan

Your power symbol: Pi

Your power month: July

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

hmm don't really think it's true le...I'm not a geek hahaha

Reckless Driving

2007-08-07T20:14:00.000+08:00

Hmm I am still way beyong being a reckless driver but today, I honked at any cars that were trying to overtake me ie : for not queueing up, in a jam when they try to go into my lane.

Our first location today was at Kampung Berembang in Ampang. So I convoyed with the crew...convoying with the crew is NOT and NEVER easy. They are always going really fast and never watch out for us who goes slow. So in order to keep up the pace with them, I have to drive as fast as them and keep tail to tail with them. Few cars tried to signal in but I honked at them ahahaha

Then second was back to Bangsar and then again, wanting to reach on time so that we are on schedule, also honked at few cars.

Another 2 more days to go!!! Tomorrow is baby shower scene! haha and I loaned this REALLY expensive buggy from Planete Enfants and it cost Rm2,700!!!!! will take pic and upload tomorrow hehe

Gol & Gincu Season 2

2007-08-04T00:14:00.000+08:00

That's the project that I am currently working on. With 'OH' on hold till don't know when...I am with Gol & Gincu Season 2. It airs on 8TV at 10pm every sunday. This sunday will be the 5th Episode.

It is almost finishing soon!!! 10th of August is the LAST day. Can't wait for it. Really been tired although I just started going on set. I tried to avoid going on set when I am NOT needed although I know they'd love to have some moral support. Can't drain myself with both paper work, yakking and etc and help on set. Think I'll go ding dong hahaha

Starting Monday onwards, will have shoots back to back and it's going to be REALLY tiring. Plus with me driving....super tiring.

OOoooo I'll be appearing on G&G S2 on ep 11 hehehe as a travel agent. Don't ask WHY and HOW I can get on TV?? It's just mainly didn't have time to look for someone to play that role....hahaha

I look very AH LIAN with the BLUE eye shadow because of my blue blouse....hahah and with my eyes so sepet!!! REALLY AH LIAN!!!! hahahaha

Group photo without Sherina hehehe and our waiter for the night,
Ezam
The culprits giving me the HARD TIME!!!
Being threaten by Meera and trying to outdo her with my MIC HAHA

Officially 24!!!!

2007-07-25T23:49:00.000+08:00

In another 10 more mins, I'm 24....Meera said what 10 mins, I AM 24 already....*eyes just starring at her*

My lovely housemates brought me to TGIF for the celebration....and it was one memorable celebration. I was made to stand on the chair, sing and did some boogie woogie hahaha

I totally forgot that TGIF has this service where they will sing on ppl's bday. So when the next table was doing theirs......I'm like....OH NO WHAT HAVE I BROUGHT MYSELF INTO!!!?? coz Emmy and Irene were saying that my turn is next!!! *eyes wide open*

So after our meal, Adeline and Irene said to take out the cake, our waiter, Ezam patted my shoulder and said 'Be prepared'. I was threaten by my waiter?!?!?!?!?!

And so they sounded the horn, think it's a signal to everyone that they are bringing out the cake. Oh yea, Karen bought this yummylicious chocolate cakee!!!

Then they approached me and asked for my name, and said that I have to stand on the chair....I'm like noooooo. But well, they said either chair or the table.. So chair it is. And after that, first task, sing a song! But wait, Ezam forgotten my mike. So waited for the mike on the chair which seems to be the longest time....then my mike came....which is the pepper shaker. LONG ONE, mind you. By this....diners from the next table were already looking at me, enjoying every scene that was happening. So sing a song they said. What song?? My mind was like blank! Can't even remember a tune in my head. Irene suggested twinkle2 little star...I'm like No way!!! Adeline suggested I'm a little teapot...I'm like WHAT? No!!! Then Meera said Rasa sayang....okie la whatever la wannat get this really over quickly!

After the song, I thought I could sit down but they said wait, close your eyes. Why? I asked...Just close your eyes which also seem a long time. Then they said blow out the candles. But where's the cake I asked? They say just blow! I'm like where's the cake...it's not in front of me. Can I open my eyes, I pleaded. Okie la open your eyes. And guess what?? The cake was like at the other end of the table. Now how in the world can I blow the candles.....hahaha

So, they MADE me blow out the candles with a waiter standing at the other end of the table which made everyone burst out laughing. Adeline and Sherina did help eventually....And that was not the end. After that, I don't know what song they sang...something like the army marching one and asked me sit down. So I thought everything was over....and they gave a big finale by shouting at my eearrrss which caught me by surprise!!!! hahaha and I automatically covered my eears hahaha

It was fun....and a very very good laugh. Took me a while to get myself back to normal hahaha I can feel the adrenalin rush at my face....it was red according to Meera....hahahaha

Here's some pics to enjoy hahaha
