la di dum

leaders retreat was great! despite having to wake up early in the mornings while some others sleep in, I had the privilege to cook! It was rather fun working together, chatting, preparations..I do miss all the fun. Rawang was the place! I felt so at home and..it's just so enjoyable that I wanna go back again for a holiday. I guess this would be the last best holiday before work. Officially employed, but I don't really feel the excitement at all. I wonder why.

Enjoy the pics! (Joy, this is for you, since you always ask for updates..HAHA..still, i love your pics)

dead tired

Day 1
Ringgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg...and so the alarm clock went off before 6am. Belle's still sleeping...what a hard nut to crack! I don't even think she heard the alarm...haha So, next my phone alarm went off..Sighs..I wish I needn't wake up so early..head off to Sime Darby Convention Centre for an event management job. And..all I wanted is to see some department leng chai partners! To my disappointment...well I met this japanese dude...

Highlight? I tripped and nearly fell...and I got whacked at the face by one of my crew. I stole a shoe bag by Microsoft..HAHAHA what's working as temps without bringing back some souvenirs? Thank you Christian...you stole one, I stole two! I was choosed to be his partner in registration..and it was fun but boring...checking out partners and managers!

DEAD TIRED..

Day 2
6am..my alarm went off again. I'm not working..but..I'm having an interview session this morning! Sighs...got up to read on some technical stuffs in case being asked. Headed down in the jammed packed train to sultan ismail..level 12.

me: Good morning. I'm here for an interview session.
Lady at reception: Please fill up this form. (Brings me to a room)

Two guys were already inside filling up some stuffs. One of the guys started greeting and telling me to fill up the form and write an essay...And so..this was one of the topic to choose from..
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I. I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference" Comment on how it appears in your outlook of life or how it relates to our attitude..or sth like that...WAH SO HARD!

And there was role play. A case situation given to us..board meeting..I, the finance manager role. WHAT!! I don't even know how to count you ask me to be finance manager..then next was a role of an auditor...............I failed at this session, I tell you. All candidates were guys..except me..5 guys and a girl. Then came in 5 lady interviewers to judge on our board meeting. panic panic panic.

Next, HR Manager and the Audit Manager and me sat together for a chat. Basically, one to one session interview. It wasn't that scary here though..Oh well.it lasted altogether 3 hours....And i'm Dead Tired....The journey continues with a walk from the office to the lrt station and a walk back home. I dozed off in the train....and I'm gonna doze off now.....

And I'm still DEAD TIRED.

Can't you see what I'm trying to say..? I'm DEAD TIRED! It feels like I'm dead. buzz off!

and so..meals were mega at home

again...FOOD is good back home. Sweet sauced char kuew tiaw...and a teow chew dish "kuew chap"...pork pork pork!! ate pig ear..pig tongue..pig intestines..pic stomach..It is GOOOOODD!! *drooling* I bet everyone's drooling over all these food!! I had the best american beef burger..ever!!! Well, you can't get this in M'sia...ahhhhh....I'm lovin' it! Boy, it was delicious! Can't get enough?...head down to suntec city singapore..that's the nearest stop! Try out the portobello burger..some mushroom burger..RAWKS!

So, I'm back in KL...and I'm gonna starve, back to eating bread and peanut butter and maybe, McD's deliveries....

cravings

So...I received an email, advertising about starbucks' latest addition to their family. The ever tempting HOT CHOCOLATE! YUMMY! It really, really looks good in this picture. Since I'm the one having the sweet tooth, I shall go for the caramel hot chocolate! The only thing that's missing is, a rainy weather with a romantic atmosphere...a beautiful scenary...I wonder why Australia keeps popping in my head...! Ahhh....having to enjoy the postings of miss joy's momentos and wonkyness out of her blog makes me dream of visiting Australia again and again. Looks like a lot of fun there. And since, my good friend's flight itinerary heads to Adelaide..and then Dubai..then Zurich...I wonder when would be my next trip out of the country...besides singapore.

Hmm...talk about hot chocs, I'm craving for chocolates!!!! Just had durian chocs..you know..dark chocs stuffed with durian..and I believe Australia has all these chocolate factories where you can taste all you want! FREE chocs! The last time I was there, I couldn't help but went a few rounds. So what if people see, kiasu mar kiasu lor! I actually "stole" some and put it in my pocket. *grinz*

And while I'm back home, I finally got to taste the strawberry wine I bought from Philippines...erm..it's a long story. I broke the popular Baguio strawberry wine I bought and ended up purchasing the imported strawberry wine in Manila. Michelle can testify to this that both of us were literally running around the SM mega mall in search for strawberry wine...and being stopped by the traffic guard...cos' we committed an offence of jay walking..but he kindly pardon us. Thank God he didn't charge us of any offence...because we were rushing for time before we departed Manila...

I could go on and on about my overseas trips...but I'll leave that for the next round. How on earth did hot chocolate lead to jay walk...!! I'm bored...and that's why I'm blogging.

real beauty

I thought this commercial was heart warming. Talks about self esteem with the inner beauty which exists in oneself. Ahh...melts melts melts..I think I should start appreciating myself than thinking I'm not good enough.

Anyway it's good to be back home....eating, sleeping, and getting fat. Yes, FAT. And I'm lovin' it. :)

a quote

"I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
What I can do, I should do.
And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do."

how i miss this

haha...I guess I've been bumming too much that I've got all the time in the world to upload videos. Can't blame me right? Spending time these few days just browsing through my mission trip pictures and videos..so, at least, a slight preview of what I did there. If I could, I would have uploaded the entire 2 gigs album I have..hehe :) ENJOY!

i miss the food..YUMMY

i miss dancing..

i miss the school kids @ philippines

ahh...i was mesmerized with the pastors' skills

and of course..his voice..it melts! hehe

my mission trip in philippines

Just a video done by one of our MMU fellas. I can't help but viewing it over and over again. Do enjoy, be blessed. :)

yummyy

My mini trip to Malacca a few weeks ago had brought back sooooooooo much Pre-U memories. The Malacca campus has changed SOOOOO much and it looks really GRAND compared to 5 years ago...How I miss Uni life!!! Malacca's been a part of me eventhough I spent only 1 year studying there. Ahh....the food! the PEOPLE!!!!!! Night safari???? I never knew it existed...

And while Emerald Park was where I stayed for a year......this is the NOW! where my friends stay..wah..so unfair lor. I cram with 9 students in the same unit...and with this new condo, only 4?? And having the unit facing the swimming pool......SO UNFAIR lor...I'm SOOOOOOO JEALOUS! I wish I could go back in time...

THIS THIS!! Condoliciosly georgeos environment

And of course......besides walking down memory lane...malacca's all about GOOD FOOD! All we look forward to everyday...........We gorged ourselves with FOOD, with the help of some local students. Thanks Mr Sam & Billy for loaning your house and car and bringing us around..hehe

if you ever drop by malacca, you have to COME HERE! coffee's slurpeee!

Calanthe Art Cafe @ Jonkers Walk

Just a glimpse of what we had in Malacca..ahh..heavenly!

silly me

OH i feel so silly......SILLY SILLY SILLY-Ly Stupid
I think God is sometimes funny

Sooooooooooo SILLY that I can't stop laughing about the incident....
In a way...it took away all nervousness
I was in "stone-ness.." that I didn't know how to react
oh...how silly...SILLY SILLY Silly-LY BLUR.

a layer of toxic

This picture was taken in Manila during our missions trip. It brought to my attention that our lives are sometimes like this picture. The clear bright sky filled with amazing clouds, only where birds can soar, where dreams could be build? And yet..a layer of polluted toxic covering the city which in reality, makes it ugly. So does it apply to our very own being. The issues at heart, the dirt, the unforgiveness, the bitterness, the pride, the selfishness, the self pity, the attitude problem, the anger, the struggles. Do we allow these circumstances to dominate us?

We allow these impureness to be drowned in our own little island, and not addressing the matter taking appropriate actions to deal with it. Only if these contaminated toxic could disappear..life could be better. But, I came to accept that God allows it to happen, so that we can grow, and get our lives right with God. That is if we CHOOSE to do our part. AND God will keep His covenant with us. After all, God is in control of our lives.

It is very easy to talk but not act upon it. We all struggle in bad times. It's easy to come to God and praise Him, give glory, thank Him when all's well. But when it comes to one of those "seasons", would we still stand firm in our faith? Letting God walk through us side by side or do we wish to be isolated. Well, honestly, I'm still learning. I don't have all the answers, I try to hold on. Rebuilding is the word.

Until the layer of pollution is lifted off, we'll still have that "ugly" side in us. Deal with it. Do something about it. Let's stop pollution, in other words, ACT upon these issues for He will give us the assurance.

Loved this song, thought I'll just share. This song was written by Ps Ollie Sebastian (Paradise Community Chrurch) taken from the Paradise Live - Set Me Free album.

Assuredly Yours

All that I am is in You

All that I seek is to follow You

I run to Your side when You call

There is the hope I am longing for

Just to be by your side

There is hope in my life

There is no greater freedom I'll find

Chorus

Take my life

And all that I have to give

Take my world

Just inhabit all of it

Take my dreams

Make me assuredly Yours

bleh

Happy 20th Anniversary FGA Batu Pahat! Well, it happen to be my home church's anniversary and they had it grand this year. Did a superb performance but ironically for me, conversations in the act was spoken in CHINESE! Can't help but laugh over some of the conversations. :P Enjoy the pics!

singapore idol fanatic

Hmm...been thrashing myself lately with singapore shows and therefore, singapore idol. Last night, Paul Twohill got voted OUT! Not exactly my favourite..well, honestly, I don't fancy any of the above. For me, I think Jonathan has the best voice...his sexy and jazzy, deep voice makes him sexy. haha.

It was pretty shocking for me to see young teenage girls crying buckets when Paul got voted out. Quite a scene...how emotionally involved they are.

But of course, I preferred this one..the first singapore idol

Or maybe.........This ONE!....You have to check this out!!Mua favourite!

attack of the hives

It's day 4 of ITCH attack...

and....the battle continues.........

a fragile life

Couldn't believe it when I first heard the breaking news about the ever famous Australian "Crocodile Hunter", Steve Irwin killed by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Rief. More news here.

It cought me by surprise as well because it always catches my attention whenever he appears on tv and i just enjoy his documentaries. It's such a great loss. While having so much passion for the wild, endangering his own life, he cheats death most of the time. Unfortunately, not this time.
:( Leaving behind a legend. I'm sure gonna miss watching his shows. *sobs*

Which proves that our lives are fragile. Make full use of it.

ARGGHHHHHHH

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!

I'M DYING OF ITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just got back from the hospital..i got another 2 jabs...one straight into the vain the other on the arm...........and it hurts....and more medications.........wah lau eh..this is so suffering....

hives

I think I got myself into this allergy....

Hives are raised red welts of various size on the surface of the skin, often itchy, which come and go. Also called uticaria, hives is usually part of an allergic reaction to drugs or food. (I think for me, it was some insect bite or dust). The term "dermatitis" describes an inflammatory response of the skin, caused by contact with allergens or irritants, exposure to sunlight, or by poor circulation, even stress. AVOID SCRATCHING. (sorry it was TOO late...i scratched merely for 3 hours straight before getting another jab from the doctor at 2am........) Scratching the rash may spread the inflammation, lead to infection and even leave scars. (Tell me about it....:( )

One hallmark of hives is their tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.( disturbing my sleep due to the itchiness....) An outbreak that looks impressive, even alarming, first thing in the morning can be completely gone by noon, only to be back in full force later in the day. ( I pray i don't get it later...) Very few, if any other skin diseases occur and then resolve so rapidly.

Many substances can trigger hives
- Medications
- shellfish, fish, nuts, eggs, milk, and other foods
- Pollen
- Animal dander (especially cats)
- Insect bites

Hives may also develop from:
- Infections like mononucleosis or illness (including lupus, other autoimmune diseases, and leukemia)
- Emotional stress ( hahahahah.....MAYBE it was due to STRESS)
- Extreme cold or sun exposure
- Excessive perspiration

Conclusion...it's far worse then you can imagine..literally, you're scaratching every second...for me i tried to tahan for 3 hours..and i couldnt..finally, went to the doctor at 2am for a jab. At least I was not as afraid as before..hehe. Butt STING again! This time, left butt cheek. Healing took place instantaneous. I fell asleep right after the jab.

And this morning...the red patches begin to reappear again....................not as itchy...but it looks really bad. I've gotten myself an itch disease.......ughhhhhhhhhhhhh...........someone HELP ME!

sin jia poh

i finally made a day trip to our neighbouring country, singapore. I willingly made through and passed as the official driver for my dad. haha. first time driving in spore..ain't that bad! The only downside to it, is that i didn't manage much to scout around for chics and hunks. I had to be courteous of course..and looking out for pedestrians at zebra crossings..bla bla..Speed limit averaged at 90km/hr.. cannot wei!! TOO SLOW!

The purpose for the trip was to head down to queensway shopping centre..why? because 2 years back, when i was down south for sonicfest 2004, keng and hock brought me to their "indy" place to shop..and i found a shop seemed like heaven to me. *bling bling* EARRINGS! ever since, i've always wanted to go back to the same shop, but failed.

at last, from suntec city, me and my mum took a cab all the way to queensway. it was pouring and i wondered if it was worth the effort going through the EXPENSIVE cab fare..it costs me S$8.30!! Oh well, pretty disappointed as the shop has changed its settings and, not as many earrings as i looked forward too. But at least i had a cuppa coffee with mr marko tan who stays at queesntown. :) something eventful! haha

Headed back to great world city and went grocery shopping with my parents!!!!!! I'm so in love with singapore supermarts! Goodness gracious! i like ah! almost everything you see has a lil of diet ingredients..all for the sake of fitness. That's not exactly what i like, but it's the variety of imported things..well, you have banana gardenia breads..raisin gardenia..you have Ben & Jerrys...woohoo! you have pork knuckles..and the list goes on and on......*drools*

the best of it all is............... bus ads with my favourite, FIONA XIE on em...nose bleed! I just love her smile, love the way she looks, love her bubbly-ness! From the english local drama "Growing up" to the chinese sitcom "My genie" ....ahhhhhh....cannot help it! *melts* and oh..she's only 24?

Which always reminds me of one of my good friends who's away in spore with SIA now... don't you think they look alike? missing you Lynn!

Singapore was pretty fun..and who knows, someday I might just end up employed there. :)

Besides sunny singapore, I got another JAB today................my aunt sez, I looked too pale. I need more nutrition...ouch another sting on the butt.
