Surprise her and impressive

Since last Saturday was my mum birthday, as what we plan was to celebrate with her on the actual day. But, so bad that the restaurant I want to booked was full…so yesterday, finally can celebrate my mum’s birthday. Bought her a handphone Nokia 1100. I choose this is because it looks simple and easy to use. I think she will happy to have it. Coz previously I bought her a DiGi Simpack and thought that we hav a second hand h/p which still can be used, but end up when slot in the card, the phone can’t start up then send to technician and he said due to long time not use it so some electronic parts inside have not function. So, that’s it. Today I bought her a new one..ok la..not only me..my hubby and my brother share out too.

We have lunch celebration at Imperial City, bought her a cake too. We spend her a simply lunch there. She smile ..smile and smile…very happy and touching…and all of us also enjoy celebrate very much.

Later after lunch, went to 1 Utama shopping with hubby before we went house warming of an uncle (my church member) at the evening. Again, 1U everytime went there parking problem, full..full full…always turn round for very long only able to get a parking space. Walk for 3 hours there and bought something + have a drink.

At evening went to Uncle Chong’s bungalow for his open house party at Bangsar Hill opposite BSC, Jln Merang Serai. Big big houses there, very high class, no fencing, all open area, with guard house. According to him him that currently Prime Minister’s son and Brunei Sultan’s relative also stay there. 32 bungalows only at his area and all with difference design and landscape, one word in all…very nice place and impressive ..the house cost 5000k (5 hundred million). Spacious house and nice interior design, my mum describe it as 7 stars…haha... centralize air-con..White colour kitchen, maid bedroom are big too..guest hall and TV hall separated, with big swimming pool and Jacuzzi pool with a bar stand beside it, waterfall landscape. Bedroom are design based on each children taste. Master bedroom size is as big like more than half size of my small apartment. Each bedroom toilet and changing room area separated from bed. His second daughter loves Coca-cola collection. The wall beside her bed was a rack up to the ceiling..all full of her collection display…another corner Pepsi also got…I believe all that not found locally…Her elder daughter rooms are mainly white colour with many teddy bear and soft toy…lining beside her bed...outside the bedroom are the glass corridor, no wall fencing only with wooden window rolling curtain (dunno how to call that, those like u pull up like raising flags…in most office have it la..)..from there you can see the swimming pool and waterfall landscape…can say each bedroom having different scenery view from the bedroom…very relax man!! Another room was at downstairs…is her youngest daughters house. She is not there, just went backto Australia, last time we used to talk to each other. Her room was Australian feel…wan to say is her toilet…very big and deep and the shower tap area are with glass door surround with the garden, which you can see flowers and grass…and no roof top above her shower area…wondering when raining sure her bathroom cannot be used. But, I’m sure it have the specialty of this shower area. That’s all want to describe about the house…impressive..impressive..They really spend a lot of effort there…and that also God grace to them and they able to stay bigger and bigger house. He is formerly one of the owner of Malacca Riviera Bay Resort. He wants to sell off the hotel and have seek for buyer for long…and currently he is Esquire Kitchen share holder, other than that I dunno what he do…he is damn rich…aunty also very nice very frenly with old and young ppl…be there for few hours then we went home..(sorry..may b my description of the house is interesting and you might wan to see how nice is this house, but too bad my camera not batt..sighhh..) ..ok..that’s my day…

Is you..

As usual, yesterday aft work went to workout. When I reached the locker area, somebody called my name very load at the seat in front of the locker. Ohh…is you Stephanie Yap, a friend, I know during my part time job. Long time not see nor called her. Very happy to see her back again, but do not hav much time to chit chat with each other, coz I rush to join class and she was about to shower and go home. So..we just hang on there, hope to see her again another round.

Join bodycombat class and instructor Crystal was very good, always make fast movement, strong one and repeat more time for single action…phew! ~~. No mood to workout longer, just work on some running and join class.

Aft work out, we went to the opposite restaurant “Wong Kok” café to try out their food, it was newly open, with many entrance. Food are ok only..I have a fried spaghetti and hot lemon tea, while Brandon having his Beef chess steam rice with red sauce and a ice-cream waffles.

Today not going to workout. We’ll be visiting a uncle at hospital who have stroke recently. These 2 months many sickness, hospital and pass away cases. All happen to our near relatives. Really sad when I heard of that. May God be with them and take away their sorrow, pain and tears, give them healthy body and mind.

This coming Saturday is my mum birthday, we still thinking how to celebrate.

After married, I have cut down 80% of my shopping and time do things I like. Yesterday I just told my ex-colleague - Karen, happened that she called me and ask me when I can shop with her.

Talking abt what is the latest movie, fashion, gadget, I totally lost track..poor me >_< . Well I know this is not so important, but can't only work and work for 48 hours a week..really so tired man...so I need that time out...Besides that I also need time to stay at home more. Now every night after fitness reach home almost 10pm, bed time abt 11.30pm, next morning before 8am have to go out to work..monday - saturday in full. Sunday only half day at home..24 hours like not enough. ohh...God pls help me..I wan to give more time to you and also other things, I can't juggle all equally..still try to adjusting all this..pls help me....dunno when I can't do all the above...at least life won't surround with works...and I dun wan whole married life tied up...

Another pain...

Last Sunday went to clean the tomb for Brandon’s side grandmother at Seremban cemetery and her mum at Nirwana Memorial Park. All the day traffic was terrible in both places. Upon reaching the Seremban cemetery, jam for almost 2 hours, moving like a snail and when coming out from Nirwana jam for 1 ½ hours. The journey waste time in the traffic jam…tire not because of the praying is because of the traffic jam. Everything finish and reached home at 4.15pm. We faster took bath and take a nap before go back home for dinner.

My knee sorrow was getting better. Now not that painful anymore. Yesterday still able to join bodycombat class and do front, back and side kick. But, when moving and punching my left arm pain this time. Yesterday went to clinic took the 1st dose of Hepatitis B injection. Blood test and body check up for year 2003 shows that my Hepatitis B antibody is –ve. Very painful, coz it inject into the muscle…today still pain when pressing it. Need to do light massage and dap to let the vaccine move.

Feel very tire only today. Every morning hope that I can slept until 7am, but :(

Work out

Yeah, finally cut my hair, no change hairstyle, just cut it short above shoulder...yes, very short now..Have started to work out at Fitness since Monday ago. Everyday go there on time after work. My work out was, joined class for 1 hour and cardio for half and hour, for me thats enough for the day. Coz I just love all the group class.

I work out seriously, even in the class, especially if there is a good instructor n I can follow on well. May be yes...too serious, I think during bodycombat class on Wednesday ago, I accidentally twist my knee part not using the balance strength to do back kick and side kick..and now the muscle was very painful when bending my leg and the action when going sitting down, wah V_V..really killing me...

Yesterday I just used the muscle rub to reduce the pain. This morning feel a lil bit better. Hopefully the muscle rub can save me else the pain is come from somewhere else.

After married, I have gain 1 kg weight leh..coz during wedding month my weight really have went down, may b is because of different feeling and tireness...now ok...gain back weight and now I even can eat more than last time. Hopefully gym work out will help me a lot...so read on see hows my progress..

Check out => new Photo Album added. Not much uploaded yet, only a few taken with friends.

Lately..

Another weeks passed, start catching up the system here and since everyday keying in product code, I can memorize some of those code and price. Since establish this company is running China-man style until today. According to FiL, we need to fully computerize the accounting and invoicing system here, as currently only invoicing system is stand alone which it not automatically link up to accounting system. All this while the account work is done manually, which is very waste of time and a lot of work, that’s why now I’m helping a lot in journal posting. We are now looking on the UBS accounting system. Any good recommendation? which include of training and support.

Just shared with my dad lately, my job now is totally different environment from computer. He ask me does my computer knowledge wasted? For me I feel it is, coz looking at job wise it is a waste, coz not related already..but think at another way, computer is one of my interest field. I’m only able to spend 2.5 years doing what I’m interest. Hehe…now is different story. I’m sure no matter God put me where, He still will give me that field of wisdom and patient. That’s also a good thing for me to learn other things than computer.

Since our 8 days Beijing trip is 3 more months to go, Brandon is encouraging me to train up my stamina and hope improve health before we go. After some consideration, I have signed up Fitness First, home member of Leisure Mall, Cheras starting next month. This is the center I saw the most pack and noisy one. Since opening mid of Feb, there are 2,000+ members now, that’s why I still not yet get my member gift (bag, tumbler..etc.), things are out of stock..OMG! While I touring the workout area, none of the machine there were available, and classes are always pack and full. For those machines, when you are start using it, ppl may come to ask you when u finish using…oh…very pity man, I told Brandon that, dunno I able to fit in to do my cardio or not, else I may upgrade to passport member.

Yahoo!!! today going to go back to eat mum’s cook…very miss it…may hav my hair cut today…think of change style..see how la…

Cheers…

Just married...

Wedding events just finish and now consider settle down. Leaving down a unforgettable moment in my life. Will share more pic with u. I'm still doing it now..a total of 700+ pic taken to record down this precious moment.

Updating time...after 2 days of rest for wedding ceremony, I've start working now. From that day, I'm having new life, new work, new house, new environment, everything seems new. After got married really really feel missing home. I'm crying when I'm alone at home and when think of my mum...I try my best to adapt this new life, is not easy at first..now slowly cna used to it already.

As you know I'm working with my husband now, no longer computer environment...work in a warehouse, with only 3 staffs..I'm doing many things..everything have to learn, especially accounting and inventory system, still very hard to pick up. coz I'm not into account line...have to learn very very hard...

My routine no longer that relax like last time, now got own home, everything have to be independent and do ownself. Now learn cooking...every morning till today I cooked our own breakfast. Last Sunday, I even cooked a 3 course dinner (soup, stir fish, and vege), feel a lil bit satisfaction, first time ok..although looks simple. I used up 2 hours to prepared it. First time in my life cook this. Lou Kong, be patient with me ok...I can do better. Now due to working time, night time dinner is hard for me to do.

Will update more later.

Wedding preparation again

Wedding invitation cards all out. Dunno is it I too rush in writing the cards, I got some relatives and friends complain their name wrote wrongly, aahh..I feel so bad and very very sorry to them. Now need to call one by one to comfirm attandance, almost done. Total 31 tables. Re-arrange some seating plan, and also prepare for next Friday bachelorette at my house.

Chinese New Year 2005

After finished all works on my last day, looked around the cubicle, left 2 ppl only..so I left the company quietly..with both hand taking my stuff..

At night reunion dinner at my uncle's house, with lots of dishes and lou sang, after that chit-chat with cousins, nieces, nephews and aunties.. Seems like this CNY is my "last" time before I married can have gather dinner with all own uncles and aunties, next year after married have to follow husband side liow..

First day of CNY, went to the same uncle house again, he is the eldest son in my father's side, so all relatives will go there when there is any occasion. So..hehe...this year is my last time taking angpau, haha..must greet greet around very hard to grab all..not bad manage to get a lot also..After that visit my dad's kam poh around that area also...at night went to Brandon's house with my family.

2nd day, went back to Ipoh (mother's side relatives). Happy to see them once again, once I step into my uncle's house ppl starts calling me "san liong" (bride)..ok..haha..bride-to-be..We have BBQ night, lamb and beef grill, pork grill, chicken wings, satay, fried mee..etc..wahh...very delicious...always hometown food is that great! it was a very hot day..too bad my uncle's house the electric voltage comes too high cause his house some electrical item spoilt. At first we though is overload used, actually is not. There was one electric generator house failed to cut off the watt power which deliver to his residential area. So those house who install 3 phase electric wayer will kena. It was scary when the voltage come unevenly, the lamp starts blinking and make sounds, and the fan motor also having something burn inside. My uncle immediatedly call his electric wayer man came over to check, he check for a while and when he tried to switch on the TV wayer connection, dunno what burns inside, TV is gone also with smoke starts coming out. After some primary inspection done, he said he can't do anything, coz it cause by the main electric deliver, not the wayering problem. Therefore, my aunty call Tenaga ppl to come and investigate and says that the spoilt item can claim back. Too bad lorrr...we can't stay there, hot hot weather, so we shift to cousin sis house, aircon all must on, dunno why Ipoh is that hot than KL.

3rd day, enjoy eat n sleep around..bring nephews, nieces and with cousins to shop at JJ, Ipoh..other than that no where to go, 3 days CNY at Ipoh area, sometimes go to this cousin's house, sometimes go to that uncle's house. I enjoy staying in the house, if not chit-chat with cousin or play with the babies then is sleep..I sleep a lot n eat a lot..no gambling...

Manage to collect many ang pao..total up although not much but enjoy collecting....

Reading the newspaper, traffic to North is terrible. My KL relative travel for 7 hours back to Ipoh, my cousin's gf travel from Malacca also 9 hours..so terrible..Luckily when my family travel it was nothing, 2 hours sharp reached Ipoh and back to KL also seems alright and normal. All the way, police in the canopy stand by camera. Dunno got kena or not...even old road also got.

This is how my CNY passed, simple, enjoy and treassure.

Farewell I

Yesterday still very busy to finish my project and also work OT, still have 2 more not yet finish :( Some colleagues came to me, and gave me gift for farewell and wedding, knowing that I'm going to leave, and because yesterday were the last time they see me in the office, since next week they'll be off for CNY. Everyone seems very miss me and they feel lost of a good staff. In my heart feel very miss them also cause we are so fren and the close of each other is more than just only colleagues. I truly miss them after I go. Many many cross feeling.

Manager only announced my leave on last meeting. Kinda late compared to last time, when they are somebody leaving. Well I dun expect any farewell from the department. Those my teammate already farewell with me and I think is more than enough only with few of them.

Here are some pic taken with my colleagues and during dinner.

Bought a lot of thing, I got myself an extra gown cream white color for my wedding dinner, love it very much...coz the bridal house only provide 2 pieces, which is 1 piece I need to wear it a week earlier and return the next 3 days. I can't hold until next week, else they will charge like I taking another piece...everything we got quite satisfied. Shop for 4.5 hours. Very tired!

At night, need to distribute biscuit and cards to friend. Still got some to go for today...Can't wait any longer since the biscuit reach me on last Sunday. These few days I lack of sleep, everyday also vy tired, tell myself to sleep early, but cannot also, have a lot of things to think n do..not much appetite to eat, eye circle all come out..wah..so 'chan'...may b need to put down all work then only can get a good rest.

I try to protect not to give her but at last still can't make it arrange not to giv her. Well ok lorr..follow the so-free-n-nothing-to-do assistant manager instruction. Both also tuff one..well...really pity her, who ask I'm fall in the 'favourite' team. So tuff project always circulate to us only. hai...hopefully she can cope with it..else she'll suffer a lot from top ppl after I go. Start packing up my cubicle stuff back home little by little.

This Friday night, my colleague will farewell with me at Chopstick Noodle house, we going to try out Porridge Steamboat. They make it earlier, coz on the 8th Feb, some are off for CNY holiday. Many great ppl here, miss are the people, but not the crazy work!

Sam's wedding

It was a touching night of wedding dinner host by my cousin bro - Sam at Eastin Hotel. Not able to attend his church wedding at noon, but still able to get ang pao from him during tea ceremony..hehe..at night it was a good night. 50+ tables, with live band who sing soft english and chinese songs. Slide show on how they each other grow in love and relationship along the 10 years they together. Story telling on how Sam court Pei Yiing..all the way..and also how to ask for marriage from her, it was at Air Asia flight, witness by over 100 ppls with the crew. At that night only I realise how romantic he was.

While dinner is on. He sang a song to his wife and also many words of gratitude to her wife, both parents n friends. Dishes taste not bad. Only things is service is slow. My uncle (Sam's father) also can't wait as his wedding anniversary is 2 days later. He also take his son's night as a oppurtunity to thank my aunt for 30 years contribute to the family. He sang a song 月亮代表我的心 to her and also a pearl necklace as a gift.

Once again, a small small world, I met my colleague - Yang, Prj. Director, and some of my ex-colleague current's colleague, not so familiar with them. With Yang, we chatted a lot about the company and our works he said my leave is a good thing if not for my own reasons. So far I know, many of my colleague want to leave in mind, just wait for the time only.

Pink freak!

Don't know why lately I love pink color very much. Since I'm in the midst of my wedding preparation, I realised that mostly the thing I choose the color I go for is pink first. From the house, the wall is light pink, wedding cheong sam in pink, 2 dress for new year in pink, new pyjamas in pink and even bra n panty also pink...haha...crazy already...my wedding theme color also pink, evening gown pink, invitation card pink, now want to get a pair of shoe in pink, but too bad no more size!

After all pink is so sweet for girls.

Lost of the ring

Brandon lost his ring which we both wear it a pair and crafted with name. I so sad when he told me that he lost it during gym. This white gold ring is a significant sign that we committed to each other, we start wearing it on Oct 2003. Hopefully he can find it back today. Ring are small and the chance of getting back is actually very low.

All done..

This week can see the new house almost done with all furniture come in. Still very busy in buying things...many many more...

Yesterday went to registered Telekom line, too bad the area line was currently unavailable and been told that it was cause by too many new user register at the same time. So I'm now in waiting list and have to wait after 3 days the technician will call me again to go submit the register form. After that, went to submit marriage registration form. Thank God is was fast and all photocopy document I brought none of that being taken. Procedure being simplified and fast. Just show I/C, fill up form and they gave us an appointment letter to inform you the date, thats it. Actually yesterday the goverment office at Maju Junction Mall there was blackout, all PC is not working. Luckily they still able to work with generator on and work on manually is our ROM date. Have set that, 3rd March 2005 is our ROM date.

A better year?

More than a week not blogging, hows everyone who reading this? Wishes of Happy New Year to you might be later for now. Anyway, all ppl no celebration this year, as tsunami have come before new year. My contribution to the tsunami victims are by giving donation and prayer. Watching thru the TV News and seeing the dead body and broken family, my heart feel pain. Yesterday read an email as following:-

The Tsunami happened in SW countries of China was predicted by the Chinese traditional farmer prediction system accurately. It also tell there is another one in NE countries of China (Japan and Korea) in 2005. Which is being confirmed by the geographical scientist already. So, don't plan your trip to Korea or Japan in 2005. One more thing, I guess you may heard about the "White Dragon King" in Thailand, right? Michael's friend went to Thailand and visit him before 26 Dec. The White Dragon King asked her to leave Thai immediately as there is a disaster coming. So she left and escape from the disaster. However, he also asked her not to go outside and stay at home in HK on 8 Feb (Year 30th) after 9:00 pm. He said something bad will happen in HK at that period. Inform your families or friends if possible.

Do not know how true is this prediction or is it a rumours, just take pre-caution. Yesterday watching a tsunami short take on Ch32, the reporter saying that the tsunami take place during Christmas is it God throw tantrum to the world as Christmas people were only go for celebration, instead of remember the character behind the season. Or is this pre-sign of end world? no body knows ..as war, disaster were all slowly happen now..

Over the new year week, I was busy cleaning the new house and buying furniture. Almost done now, next week can shift in. My last day of working in Synovate as a DP Executive will end 8th Feb.'05. Plan after stop work will prepare all things for the wedding. These few weeks also very very busy with works...this is also another reason no time to update the blog.

Will update more if time allows. Take care!

Last day...

Year 2004 is going to end. Quickly rap up here. What I found in me in this 2004.

Personality - I felt like I'm quite easy to let things turn me off, easily to get angry or dissapointed.
Health - Very bad this year, I break record of my 25 years of living, visit doctor the most this year. Health become weaker. Mainly due to work stress.
Relationship - Stepping into a new status of life soon. Many things started to change, get a new living of 2 and 2 become 1.
Work - This year really learn a lot after promoted, but still feel not enough. I also learn on
my department culture, relationship within manager and team, how to deal with different level of colleagues.
A good experience.
Family - Many new borns and marriage around, happy to see the babies are growing up.
Future In-Law family - Relationship getting better, but still not my ideal one yet. Needs lot of improvement for coming years.
Financial - Still enough to survive but my target for monthly saving plan was failed to achieve, this is very bad.
But getting better on how to pampered myself. Good or bad? need money too oh...
Friends - Own friends getting lesser and lesser, besides those close one are still contact frequently, mostly if
I not call them up they won't call me. But good things is those long lost friends, I mean those not keep in touch for
years are kept calling me up for gathering. Besides that, I also get to know some new friends.

Here share with you some of the moment from office in the last few days.
