坚强

有时候当你身边的人心情不好，你也会跟他一起不开心。。
当然, 不是每个人都会觉得那样。。


哥，你要坚强哦！！ 当你需要我的时候，我都会在你身边。。。

Birthday 2008

This year, my birthday was celebrated in a quieter way..Not complaining. In fact, it felt good and there were a few surprises. Something I did not expect!!

Birthday eve was just a simple dinner..Then suprised by 一家八口 when I went and meet them. A cute cake and name being mentioned aloud by DJ!! Paiseh-nye..Thank you for taking the trouble and being so patient..Hehe....

Next day was still feeling pretty tired out..but I had 红鸡蛋!! Haha..This was not expected. Mum made it and I think it's been ages since I've had it. Not many wishes this year around but am glad that some actually remembered and there were some from those whom I did not expect from.


No presents but it was ok cause to me, it's always the thoughts that counts. (but I know there is one which would come in late la..Keke) Received a card from Blue~~Sweet and ji muis 4eva~~

Had yum cha session with the gang. Time to just catch up and have a cake (just 一个 'ji si')..





Yesterday, my present finally ARRIVED!! I was shocked and stoned!!! Never have I expected to receive such a present (to me, it's pricey la) You guys know what I'm talking about la...So so TOUCHED and HAPPY!!! Made me cry on the spot.....Hugs and kisses

Chivas Tasting Event

Last week, I was helping out in the events team for a Chivas Tasting Event in Mandarin Oriental Hotel. They had sessions in Penang and Johor as well but I was not involved. Pretty interesting and new to me as in I got to learn that there is such a thing called 'Whisky Tasting' and held in a 'classroom'. There were 9 tasting glasses poured with different whiskies and covered after that so that the whiskies will not evaporate. Later during the session, the 'students' will smell and taste the whiskies without knowing what it is till the end of class.

Before tasting, there will be a sharing whereby the expert will teach us laymen what is whisky made of, how and where it is produced. Since it is Chivas, of course we were taught about Scottish Whiskies. Pretty interesting facts but too bad, I was only listening half heartedly as I was looking around just in case the invited guests needed other assistance.

Also too bad, there is no whisky tasting session for me...Haha...

Set-ups pretty cool with THOUSANDs of glasses involved but after that, it was MADNESS!!! I was in charged of re-calculating the glasses which was quite tiring. Simply because we had to wait for the hotel staffs to wash the glasses, and then we had to wrap back the glasses, ensure that it is the correct number of glasses in the box and seal it up. Some of the boxes were already looking like 'ham choy' before we even placed the glasses in.

At first, 3 staffs were helping us but after a while, the manager said to have a briefing outside. Then, they just DISAPPEARED and never came back!! Hmm.....

We only finished at 1am (started at about 10 sth leh, before the event finished!!) Madness..Then, loaded everything up into the lorry and we had to head back to office to unload the stocks!! All were pretty tired then. My legs were killing me. (Should have wore flats during the event.Darn)

Headed back to office at 1.30am and upon reaching there, we quickly form a human chain. There is NO way we will and can carry the stocks UP and DOWN the stairs!!! Managed to finish it in within about 20 minutes. Thankfully there was an added manpower. Kaka..

Reached home, I think all of us were dead..Anyhow, it is a memorable event for me~~

Sweet Surprise

This really came in as a sweet surprise!

Did not expect it to happen and did not see it coming.

Was in a moody state on that day. Plans with friends were cancelled and things did not really go as I intended to. Then, at night, after deciding on the makan place, I changed my mind after that. Weird enough, a positive and quick desicion/response was given.

Upon reaching the venue, it was quite impossible to get any tickets anymore. However, you were very persistent, saying that you were the one who wanted to watch and asking me to accompany you instead and mentioned that we could always try GOLD class since you striked lottery. (Kaka.Ya right..)So, ok, went along with it..

The queue was too long so we decided to have dinner first. After dinner, I thought can balik already but you said to try again. Sigh, already chances are slim, why la want to try somemore? Know that you were trying to cheer me up and also because you knew I wanted to watch. Hmm, ok la..Try lo..What more since there was only one person in front of us left in the queue.

When it was our turn, you gave the guy a booking number!! I was stunned!!! So, it WAS all planned!!!!!

Thank you...

Cuppa Cakes

Today lunch, cousin brother was asking me what is good to eat in Uptown just because I'm working in this area. However, I told him no idea..Kaka..later, he asked if I would like to join him for lunch with his colleagues as before having lunch, they were going to get cupcakes!! Hmm, sounds yummy and it's been a while since I've had one..So, there I was joining him and his colleagues selecting cupcakes~~

Nowadays, cupcakes come in different sizes, designs and flavours. No more the boring old vanilla or chocolate ones. We were spoilt with choices when we reached the shop (the shop's just behind my office and I did not know about its existence. Dumb me) and when there are lots of choices, here comes the headache (>.<''')

What's more when there are many cupcakes in CHOCOLATE flavours!!! (but some of it look a bit like 'shit'..Keke)

I love the box!! You might say that there is nothing to shout about but well, I personally like the design and will definitely keep it..(One more 'rubbish' as my mum calls it added to my 'Collection')..Have yet to try it cause it looks too cute to end up in my tummy...Keke..

Nice pretty looking box

















Cute looking Chocolate cupcake and Cookies and cream cupcake

Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.

A story that I want to share with you that I read from the net. Try to see if you can capture the moral of the story ;)

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.A man

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'
The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?


Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling...
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Blood Donation

This weekend, I was pretty busy, find it superb meaningful and tiring.

I've been wanting to learn Yoga long time ago as they say that it is an interesting form of exercise. First day was on Saturday early morning..Yawnn cause slept late the previous day. Had an interesting class and managed to do some 'stunts' which were difficult for some..(Got praised..Keke) I was pretty amazed by myself as well actually that I managed to do it and surprisingly, body was not really in pain the day.

On Sunday, Blue coaxed me into donating blood!!! I do NOT like needles and blood but well, after giving some thoughts, the last that I donated blood was in 2002. So, wanting to do some good, I went for it. Blue was really excited but I was nervous to the max.

The first time I donated blood, my bag of blood was only enough for a child because I was too tense and the blood was not flowing out anymore. This time, I was still feeling tense but managed to fill up A BAG of THICK RED BLOOD!!! (I think vampires [if they really do exist] would love to get their hands on it)

After registering, I sat in the 'lazy chair' and waited for some time (which I felt happy about) for the nurse to do her job. When she came to me with her needles and scissors, my heart was like going to jump out!! I was so tensed that she could not find my veins and she asked me to relax. Friends were around to distract my attention. (Thankfully)

I do not know for how long I was sitting there but it felt great when all are done. When the nurse has taken out the needle, I saw a 'HOLE' in my arm..Yikes~~~ Geli and scary....

Unfortunately, the excited Blue could not donate any blood in the end because she lack of Iron and when she wanted to try to check her blood for the second time, she was stopped by the officer..So sad...Well, Blue, from that Sunday onwards, start pumping up on your Iron and let's gang up to carry the Needle-Phobic along for blood donation. Hehe ;)

Pictures are a bit blurred but well, they're still memories~~

Back to Blogging

Been so long since I've blogged...Just that I did not have the mood to do so and now the feeling is back...Hopefully this mood will stay and not leave so soon. So many yet so little has happened during these few months.

With the new job, new adaptation, new colleagues, tired feelings, motivated and unmotivated feelings up and down, the mood of writing and reading friends' blog just dispersed. However, thanks to some TRUE friends, they have always been by my side, cheering and supporting me along the way.. Got to know new friends along the way which felt good as they would make my day seems a little brighter everyday after a tiring day at work.

I know after so long not blogging, some of you might have lost the interest here but thank you if you were to come back and share my life story again..Will keep you guys updated again real soon!!

Til then, cheers to all and have a great weekend, my friends and my fellow blogger mates!!
