Adventures of a girl...

Those Were The Days

2011-11-08T00:45:00.000+08:00

A recent new like from Bruno Mars - Count On Me.

Somehow, it reminds me of the good old high school days...

Simple. Enjoyable. Stress free.

Don't we all want to turn time back to those Good Old Days?

Guilt free weekend

2011-10-23T12:33:00.001+08:00

近来工作上得不到满足感。反而再而连三的压力感和不满。
别人做不到的我做。薪水却和别人的每两样。
新人的到来，只有和我一样的年资和能力，但却是Senior,而我还是原封不动。感觉到老板们根本就不珍惜我。
一连窜的工作压力把我压到我快崩溃了。
不知到我为了什么留下来。也不知道我还能顶得住多少无谓的工作压力。
值得吗？

~~~

It's not too much to ask if I want to enjoy my weekend without feeling guilty over work right?
At times I just want guilt free weekends too like what every normal person has!

Krabi

2011-10-09T13:11:00.000+08:00

A brief trip to Krabi... 4 day of pure relaxation is a great getaway from work and busy KL lifestyle...

Seriously am all game for tai-taism!

Missing TNS

2011-09-21T13:44:00.000+08:00

I actually miss the TNS days... not for the work, not for the location, but for the people that you can talk to and never turn their back on you when you needed to talk and de-stress....

Ponyo

2011-08-30T12:34:00.000+08:00

An anime I recently watched from Hayao Miyazaki, and I think, there will be more to come! :)

I love the way the anime is produced. All hand drawn and color pencilled unlike the new animated cartoons which looks too real to be one.

There is a deeper meaning behind just pure entertainment for Hayao Miyazaki's films. It shows a person's independence, strength, confidence and determination during hard times - some values that we should practice in our lives.

Next on the list would probably be - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Howls Moving Castle. XD

Life of a researcher

2011-08-29T12:54:00.000+08:00

Life of a market researcher... when other's are working, you work... when other's are holidaying.... you work as well...
WTF! I hate the life of a researcher... a lot....

Friends or Foe?

2011-08-18T11:44:00.000+08:00

Guess at times, it's just a syok sendiri syndrome when you regard some people as friends while they think you are not...

Grow up!

醉后决定爱上你

2011-08-14T20:45:00.001+08:00

近日的最爱，醉后决定爱上你。

还以为我已开始远离偶像剧，没想到还是被“它”迷住了！

看来我始终还是个爱对爱情幻想的小女孩。 XD

智慧牙

2011-07-29T00:05:00.000+08:00

讨厌生智慧牙的感觉...疼疼的! :(

人家说有智慧牙就会变聪明。。我不要智慧了啦！

My Home

2011-07-24T17:52:00.001+08:00

The place where I grew up. A place that I'm proud to be a part of - Penang. :)

他妈的！

2011-07-18T13:51:00.002+08:00

疑人不用，用人不疑。

如你不信。别叫我做！

当你要我给你证据来正明我有在酒吧进行访问时，你难到不是在质问我的职业道德与人格？
难道我自在要骗你的一百几十吗？我。一。点。也。不。稀。罕。！

Quote of the day

2011-07-14T01:19:00.000+08:00

Quote of the day

"Feels like you need to clone yourself... one for office, one for family, one for standby and one for me..."

I can feel the sweetness in this :)

习惯

2011-07-11T23:45:00.001+08:00

习惯会是一个人的致命伤。
习惯了你的我，会是你的负担吗？

Election

2011-07-07T23:06:00.003+08:00

Recently there is this whole "hooha" in Malaysia on the Bersih situation. To tell the truth I'm never someone who is very into politics. I always thought politics is dirty. Be it the governing party or the opposition party, each has it's faults and it's strength.

As a very normal person, all I want is peace, equal rights and being able to see transparency within the government system. Are the things done for the good of all parties in Malaysia? Not just the Malays not just the Chinese not just the Indians, but for everyone? Is it benefiting everyone or just someone? Is the voting system good enough to ensure what I vote for is what I get?

To tell the truth, to me, that is actually more important than who wins in the next election!

At times, we do not know who's doing the "right" things and who's doing the "wrong" things. All we know is that something is not right with proof pointing those faults in the current government situation.So what is our best option if we want change? - Opposition party? Bersih? NGOs that calls for change in the current governmental system? They may not be the correct choices, but they are our next best option towards what we currently have....

Back to Bersih. It is the next best choice we have towards the glimpse of seeing a fair election campaign in the next general election! But if the government is so insistent that the election is fair, why not proof it to all instead of retaliating against this movement? At times, things get out of hand because of the refusal to explain and the continuous suppression of the call for equal and fair rights.

That's just my thoughts. I'm not saying I'm totally supporting Bersih. But all I want is just being able to see transparency in the current government system.

Self Reminder

2011-07-05T23:25:00.000+08:00

Reminder to self..

I need to be patient to people that are less fortunate than me... for example, people without brains.

Thank you God for giving me brains. Amen.

Getting Lost

2011-07-02T09:41:00.001+08:00

The other day, after an interview with a candidate my boss came back and told me " we found someone that can get lost in KL! I think if we get her in, you cannot travel together with her!". I wonder if I should take this as a compliment or......

Well anyway, me getting lost is not something "new" especially within Selangor/KL. and ever since I started driving around KL. Seriously, I can't count the N number of times I got myself lost - had to S.O.S for directions, or took the wrong turn and ended up taking the longest route instead of the shortest route. And the irony of it is... I have a GPS or a smartphone Google Map with me. (@_______@)"

One of my little "get lost adventure" was with a moderator on the way to Kuala Selangor for a group. Well, I had a GPS with me (borrowed from the boss) so I set the POI on it to "De Palma Hotel Kuala Selangor" and the address seriously stated Kuala Selangor on the screen. So with that in place, of course I will happily drive in accordance to the GPS!!

BUT! Now I know better than to trust the POI function for GPS because it started leading me to "De Palma Hotel Ampang"! FML! Thank god I have been to Ampang/Chears many times to notice that I am going towards that direction!!!! Well eventually I did got us to Kuala Selangor (10 mins late for our group) after re-setting the GPS using the address. Boss number 2 was laughing at my little adventure and feeling proud of herself because she got lost coming back from Bangi WITHOUT a GPS. So me worse off than her... such competitive spirit. Tsk tsk...

Well that was NOT the only "getting lost adventure" within the last two weeks. Another more Dramatic getting lost session was from my office in Bangsar to Changkat Bukit Bintang with my MD in the car! TMD this is really damn embarrassing. The drive was supposed to be just 10mins and we ended up using about an hour to get to Changkat!

I missed a turn that I was supposed to take. re-calculated my Google Map took another route and miss another turn and then another turn and another turn and ended up going towards Cheras again (I wonder what's me with Cheras? - my getting lost direction always seem to point over to that area)... ended up I had to watsapp my location to a friend/client, call him and ask for directions. :( Boohoo!

Thank god that my MD knows how to read a map because my sense of direction on map suck big time with the major issue of me not being able to differentiate left or right on the map unless I turn it around. :(

Well those two were the two most significant/dramatic get lost cases in the past two weeks with a few more minor ones.... :(

Seriously. I think I really need a Garmin GPS.

Money money money

2011-07-01T15:23:00.000+08:00

One of the standard questions in a focus group will always be "what do you want in life" or something similar to that. Respondents will always say "I want more money"; and I tend to reply with this question which I find very stupid "why do you want so much money for"?

Thinking deep to myself, why do I want more money than I currently have?

Money I guess is everything. You can't do anything without money which includes the dreams I secretly have like... travel around the world, do charity work in Africa - help them build houses and piping. Those are dreams which I know I can't achieve and will remain dreams in this life. (Unless I suddenly hit the jackpot or marry a rich man like Bill Gates.)

OK back to reality and not to think so far about travelling and helping the unfortunate people in Africa. I guess without money I will have difficulty in even rearing myself, not to say looking into the near future of starting a family!

Wondering to myself. I am not a big spender and spend mostly on necessities like food and travel and to top that, I haven't been shopping at all! WTF! But at the end of every month, I still have no savings at all! Bloody hell. Where did all my money go?!

I guess this is not just happening to me as many around me are facing this exact same situation...

Tell me, what is the cause of this "money no enough" society? Why is inflation so high that everyone seem to feel the pinch so hard that everyone's pocket is bruised to the max? Sometimes I wonder, maybe I should have become a geek and study IT or maybe I should be a doctor... Or maybe... maybe... I should have become a politician in Malaysia!

I am not connoting that politicians "earn" a lot of money. I am just connoting the fact that maybe these "poor" politicians have such important calling for the country that they can live a "clean" life without spending much money - sort of becoming goddess' or deities because of their "true" calling in life.

Not to stray far away from why we want more money in life. I guess that is reality.

Time flies

2011-05-15T16:40:00.001+08:00

Time flies whether we like it or not... With just a blink of an eye, it is now May and the half a year mark is near. Yet at the same time, what happened in January seem so far off... and seem like something that had happened years ago...

Redundant? Maybe... But not for me...

As the saying goes, time flies when you are having fun.

For me time flies because I have so much things to do that it fills up all those hours that I am awake. Those many many things that I have done within the past months make me feel whatever I did in Jan seems far away...

Origins of Boob

2011-05-15T14:29:00.002+08:00

The origin of the word Boob...

- Via Kendrick

New Hairstyle

2011-05-08T17:30:00.001+08:00

A new look, a new hair cut, a new beginning to a new life

As long as you love it... it is all that matters :)

Another nice relaxing weekend

2011-05-02T17:16:00.000+08:00

It is always nice to meet up with friends you were once VERY close with yet now distant because of location and busyness in life. :)

First it was with JK at the Tiger Asian Music Festival... Now I'm missing my other "xiao di" Kendrick!

Then it was with Pei Shan, Li Qian and Joyce on a beautiful yet raining Sunday afternoon. We managed to settle my cravings for Bak Kut Teh and have a very fun chit chat girl talk session with Issac sitting at the side eavesdropping while playing with his iPhone. *poor guy*

I heart long weekends without work! So much time to spend! :)

Next weekend is mother's day... time to think where to bring dear mummy out for a treat!

Do nothing Saturday

2011-04-24T11:30:00.001+08:00

Letting myself "free" just for one day seems like the best decision I have made in ages. Spending one full day wandering around the city, having nice food that I had been craving for so long...

Enjoying the nice cooling air-cond inside a new mall on a rainy day.... taking cam-whoring photos which I had lost apparent interest in the past months.

Just do nothing Saturday is simple yet seriously enjoyable. Though I still feel tired, at least I feel more relaxed. :) I think I need to take some time off soon... go somewhere and spend some time to relax.

Being sick

2011-04-17T10:51:00.000+08:00

Sick. Is not a nice feeling especially when you still need to work.

I still reminisce the "good old days" when all you do when you get sick is sleep, lie in bed, and mum will take care of the rest including bringing you to the doctor, getting you your MC, cook nice and yummy porridge.

Unlike now. All I do when I'm sick is still work, and maybe a bit more sleep than usual.

How sad.

JW Black Party

2011-04-10T10:52:00.000+08:00

Can't recall when was the last time I attended an event.

Not the best, but it was good.

Johnny Walker - Keep Walking

I am Stupid

2011-04-09T11:07:00.002+08:00

Friend: You are seriously hardworking!
Me: I work hard to compensate for my lack of intelligence.Period.
Little voice inside me: Maybe deep down inside, I am seriously a dumb brunet?

My Typical Sunday Afternoon

2011-04-03T13:48:00.002+08:00

A shot of my typical Sunday afternoon

Without realizing it, a quarter of the year have passed. Life as usual is busy. Filled with work, work and work. I guess I have neglected my social life for a fair bit. Balancing such busy work life with social life is indeed a bit hard.

I have sort of predicted this when I decided to join a newly set up company. Reminder to self - this is an opportunity to learn and see how far I can go in my career.

I might not go far, nor I might not be as good as those with the same amount of experience. But then, who knows, I have tried my best. :)

End of 2010

2010-12-31T13:03:00.000+08:00

The year 2010 practically just flew past me.

Counted down for 2010 in Brizzy, Celebrated CNY in Brizzy... back to Malaysia, started working, celebrated birthday, Christmas and now another countdown for a New Year ahead in Malaysia.

Time flies is all I can say.

I gained and lost a lot this year.

The decision to come back is a lost in many ways. I lost the "homey", "domesticated" Ida that wants a simple, easy going life with work life balance.

Yet in a way, by coming back I gained new friendships, new experiences, found the old me that wants a career and make something out of myself. There is no work life balance here, but more of a busy lifestyle that requires constant energy.

Who knows if I gained more or loose more this year? Life is not a matter of loosing or gaining, it is the experiences that comes with it.

I had a lot of whole new experiences this year, and I hope I will have more in years to come! :)

Happy New Year! :)

2010 Christmas Wish List

2010-12-16T15:10:00.000+08:00

Christmas is around the corner and as usual there will be a Christmas wishlist of things I hope to pamper myself with... Last year's Christmas present to self was the experiential South Island trip that cost me a bomb. Well, this year's Christmas present to self is definitely way cheaper than that! :p

MUST HAVE buys for myself this "Christmas"...

Coffee Tumbler for a new work year and an Iphone to replace my Nokia that has been giving me problems for sometime... :) Fingers crossed waiting patiently for my Iphone to arrive!!

Next necessary buy: A GPS for a noob on KL roads... Let's hope the TomTom on Iphone is good enough and I can do without this buy!!! :)

And as for my Fav Coach bags... as usual it is just a wish on the wishlist and never a reality. Even then, just browsing around the Coach Website seeing those fabulous bags is a pleasure itself!!

One fine day it will be one of the to-buy items on my self pampering Christmas wish list!! :)

好人? 坏人?

2010-12-11T21:31:00.000+08:00

好人和坏人只是一线之差。好与坏，对与错，往往都让人捉摸不了。

有时候我们自己应该也并不知道我们自己到底是好人还是坏人吧?!?

Joke of The Day

2010-12-06T18:11:00.000+08:00

Saw this from a friend's FB status.

"Pls send job2me.mst hav EPF,pay slip & benefit.Let me kno ASAP. m waiting"

Just wondering what the hell happen to fresh grad job seekers nowadays!!

Cambodia

2010-12-05T20:53:00.005+08:00

Cambodia... such a poor stricken country, yet a hidden gem with gorgeous sceneries and amazing history. Seriously I can hardly imagine myself living in countries like that, and I am darn lucky to be staying here in Malaysia. :)

Though poor in terms of the spending power of its people. It is rich with Culture, Folktales, and most of all historical artifact that give prove to Cambodia in being one of the earliest civilization that came up with such amazing creations. It is an awe that those amazing architectural structures and carvings can be done without the help of modern technology and machineries - no wonder it is one of the 7 wonders of the world...

... And thank god I had a great tour guide that gave me a truly local experience in Cambodian food!

Farewell TNS-RI

2010-11-20T11:09:00.030+08:00

I think I am very lucky to be blessed with such nice and sweet colleagues.

I gained a lot within this brief 8 months. There were a lot of bitter sweet moments including terrible clients, datelines that can never be met... But then come to think of it... those sweet moments spend with colleagues at work made all those bearable and fun. I don't think I will be able to live through the past 8 months so well if its not because of them. They supported me professionally at work and emotionally (for me to COMPLAIN! :P).

Giving me a great farewell was something I did not expect. Come to think of it, all I did on the last day of work/internships was always pick up my bag and bade the colleagues good bye. No farewell dinners, no presents... This came as a surprised indeed.

Two farewells meals, various well wishes, and thoughtful presents... I am indeed lucky to have colleagues likewise... I swear I promise I'll keep in touch! :) The relationships I made in TNS-RI is definitely one of the most precious things I gained in the last 8 months.

Belated Birthday Cupcake

2010-11-06T13:12:00.000+08:00

A simple belated birthday surprise from a lovely colleague. One of the sweetest gift I have gotten so far. :)

放飞机

2010-11-04T20:38:00.000+08:00

我额头上有写着“请放我飞机”着五个字吗？为何每次都是这样？我是不是对身边的人太好了，才导致每个人都这样对我？约了我又无缘无故的爽我约！

Counting Down

2010-10-16T13:33:00.001+08:00

Counting down to Nov 18... for I will be embarking onto a whole new journey... The journey will not be a smooth sailing easy going one. But I guess it is a challenge to see how far and how hard I can go. Hmph... sounds like I seriously love to torture myself. I will miss this place... the first place where I "sold my soul" to in Malaysia, but on the other hand, I am looking forward to the next place I am going to "sell my soul" too as well - A very redundant Ida

The opportunity came as a recognition of my hard work... and maybe dedication to my job. But the inner voice of me is shouting of uncertainty and fear that I am not good enough at all... worried that I will not be of much help to those that place their trust in me, and at the end of the day, will disappoint those who think highly of me.

I had never been someone that has confidence. But I guess the good thing is people seldom see through the shield i place upon myself. In comparison to those in my family, everyone is so smart, so talented, such high achievers while me... a nobody... :\ Maybe that is why I am always working harder than anyone to prove that I am part of a family of high achievers. But it never seem enough to do them proud...

Beyond

2010-10-10T12:47:00.002+08:00

Of many of the "boy bands" in the 90's Beyond is my absolute favorite of all times (Fine... my song choices are stuck in the 90's and they simply do not want to move out of that era....). Beyond is not about fun, not about looks but about the substance of their songs and the feel of it.

If I have to use words to describe them it will simply be "manly, power, freedom and brotherhood - in a non-gruesome Chinese triad way."

***

PS. In less than a month my dear twin will be back!!! And wee shall proceed on with our cheapskate shopping trip in Times Square!!!!!! *beams beams*

Me Turning 24

2010-10-02T21:12:00.002+08:00

Turning 24... without a series of birthday celebration marathon... without wild clubbing... without many people around me... a very quiet one since the day I turned 18.

All I had that day was my work in Penang, my dear colleagues and my client who tried to make the best out of what they can.

I am touched... :)

****

The fieldwork trip to Setiawan and Penang was fun! The eating, drinking and chit-chatting we had on top of the busy fieldwork scheduled that filled our days to the brim made outstation fieldwork less of a chore!

Food trail in Sitiawan was fantastic with CK bringing us around to savor the goodness and tastiness of Sitiawan. Very hospitable bunch and it made our short trip there memorable and fun.

Back to hometown - Penang was even more fun! Regrettably I did not managed to meet up with any of my best friends there due to the full schedule we had there. But still brining people in the office around Penang, introducing to them the wonderful food in Penang was definitely some proud moments of moi... and am VERY proud to say... I KNOW MY WAY VERY WELL AROUND PENANG! *beams*

As usual... touristy stuff after work are makan-makan sessions, temples and old buildings!

And not to forget the newest "tourist" attraction - Hard Rock Hotel...

I think we all had fun... didn't we? :)

Is this what we always describe as the calm before the storm? The following few weeks will be stressful, filled with work and not so fun as compared to the work filled fun outstation fieldwork trip! Well BRING IT ON BABY!

Classic Songs

2010-09-14T23:25:00.000+08:00

不知不觉今晚突然又找了张国荣的一些经典歌曲来听。不知怎么，他的歌声每次听起来都是那么的完美那么的动听那么的有味道。永远都不会觉得腻。 :)

Mooncake Making

2010-09-12T23:04:00.000+08:00

Long weekend spend on baking and learning the ropes on making the real mooncake. :)

Tiring but satisfied. At times, I think I like to spend time staring at food more than people. Just wondering, am I that anti social or what. At times, I just don't like hanging out with people that I don't meet up much and having "random" conversation with them. Hmm... guess I'm VERY anti-social!

Therapeutic Cooking

2010-08-23T21:45:00.000+08:00

To me, cooking is therapeutic.

The joy of starting from scratch with raw ingredients, and making it into something that is eatable and liked by all can easily fill me with joy! The stress-ness that came from other issues in life, seemed to disappear when something nice is cooking in the kitchen! :)

The process itself, though at times is time consuming and tiring. The trial and error of making something, numerous fails of one single dish, but at the end of the day, all it takes is just one smile and one sentence of someone saying "I love it", and all the hard work is just worth it.

I guess this applies for any other thing? People tend to see things based on monetary value. But at the end of the day, isn't the appreciation of others on your hard work better than anything else in the world?

Maybe it's just me :)

Things We Forget

2010-08-11T01:32:00.004+08:00

Sometimes we see things and life as being complicated. But maybe we should take a step back, relax and live life simple.

Sometimes we look at the rain and grumble at our misfortunes and untimely fate. But maybe we should search for the rainbow instead, seeing the bright sides of life beyond the occasional misfortunes.

Sometimes we see failure as harsh and unforgivable. But maybe we should see it as opportunities for improvements?

Many times, moving slowly is not a sin, being slow is not a sin. But standing still and not moving when facing a cross road is a sin.

We tend to ignore and forget the simple and beautiful things in life. Overlooking its splendor seeing only the unpleasant side of life. A blog that just gave me a jot. To remember simplicity, to remember happiness and other beautiful things that we tend to forget. Maybe at the end of the day, that is what life is all about! :)

Crazy August

2010-08-10T02:00:00.000+08:00

16 days straight of work... a couple more to go before I end my crazy weekend "assignment" writing days! Baby Ida is very tired and sleepy... Hang on there! Just a couple more days before it is over!

Haiz.... who asked me to have such a slow brain that is not meant to do heavy analytical skills... Hence the extra hours needed on my reports. :(

Can't wait to go Sing K, chit chat and hang out with friends without the need to think about work at all! :)
And I can't wait for my long weekend end of this month!

To Debbie and Billy

2010-08-01T12:04:00.000+08:00

Was in Singapore last week for Debbie's and Billy's wedding.

All I could say, of all the people I know who are in a relationship or married, they are the sweetest couple I have ever met. 11 years in a relationship, 2 years of Long distance when Deb's in Brisbane, half a year when she was in Ireland and still the relationship is as strong as they just started dating.

It definitely takes a lot of effort to keep a relationship going strong. Looking at a table full of momentos of the happy couple. Many are not expensive presents, but handmade self designed presents filled with love and care. Through these "presents" I can see the how strong the love they felt for each other. :)

Even when we were in Brisbane, all I hear Deb's mention was forever Billy. Billy and I did this... Billy and I did that... and at last she can now say Billy and I are married!

To Debbie and Billy... Hope you guys have a happy marriage life ahead. God Bless. :)

Qian and Chris in KL

2010-07-18T22:23:00.001+08:00

It's always fun to meet up with friends you had not seen in a long time...and I had to admit, ever since I started working there are very few instances where I managed to spend some quality time with friends.

There are always just these four conditions:

I am too tired after a week's work that I just rather stay at home and sleep and watch some movie... ME TIME!
Just too tired to venture out with public transport on a weekend
I had to work on the weekends
Work suddenly came in URGENTLY and I had to FFK on my friends

Just come to think about it. Work life is just too sad... :(

This weekend was great! Qian and Chris was in KL and we managed to hang out acting "tourist", taking photos in KLCC! :p

After that was clubbing in Quattro...

Followed by a recovery day on Sunday where I absolutely have no mood to work at all! :( I am so gonna regret it next week and kick myself at the butt for that!

Suddenly I am having a streak of reunion with Brisbanites! I can't wait for next weeks trip to SG for Debbie's wedding and meetup sessions with all the Brisbane-SG friends! I am coming SG! Wait for me!! :)

新不了情

2010-07-03T18:44:00.000+08:00

有时候我也不知道是不是有自虐狂，就偏爱看些哭得死去活来的电影。

才花了几天时间就把长达30集的“新不了情”赶完了。

和电影版不一样的地方是。。。电影版我哭了半小时，连续剧版我哭了4 个小时。

和电影版一样的地方是。。。连续剧版的主题曲还是一样的好听。

This is Malaysia!

2010-06-15T08:33:00.001+08:00

Malaysia will be going bankrupt in 9 years. Nine FREAKING years and the government is going to spend RM8 mil on a stupid palace for the King? What's wrong with the current palace? Isn't it good enough as it is?

If they are talking about refurbishing the palace. YES I get it since it has been around for so long, some refurbishing work should go on to maintain the comfort and livability of the palace for our dear King. But a new RM8 mil palace? What's the rationale behind this action? Don't tell me the palace is not big enough, grand enough or magnificent enough to be lived in by out dearest King!

Talk about "conserving" heritage buildings, so what are they going to do with the "old" palace then? Making it into another heritage muzium that does not help generate income that contributes to the Malaysian economy?

One of the reasons provided by the government was "the palace used to be a private residence and the government aquire it and made it a palace". The Bukingham palace has been there for 307 years and it used to be a private residence of some sort as well, yet I don't see Queen Elizabeth asking for a new palace!

Our government do love building new official buildings aye? I wonder why... Oh maybe it's due to "inflation"! The new "cost" should have increase a lot since the RM4 mil budget was costed 5 years ago. (@_____@)"

How I Met a Flasher

2010-06-12T15:19:00.002+08:00

Last Sunday was such an "eventful" day. Why would I say that? Well, it all started off from when I was coming back from KL after meeting up with Timothy Yee who just got back to KL for a visit...

Every time when I was on the way back from KL, I will give mummy a call when I reach Taman Jaya station so she could come out a bit earlier to fetch me from Kelana Jaya station. However, thinking that since this is a weekend, with no jam on the roads, why not call mummy a bit later and just wait for awhile at the station no harm done right? As a result, I called her only when I arrived at the station and decided to just wait for her at the usual place.

Then something interesting decided to happen... :p

I was sitting around the waiting area, texting while waiting for mum/dad to come pick me up, and suddenly this guy appeared from god knows where, stood in front of me, and lifted his shirt up, exposing his "little birdy" in front of me from his unzipped pants.

At that point of time, I could not really digest what happened, thus I just sat there and thought for awhile after he calmly walked away from the "scene". It seriously took me awhile to realise that WTF, I just saw a bloody flasher and his "little black birdy"!

I calmly walked away and scanned around the station to see where he went to, and there he was, hiding at the staircase trying to peek at me to see what reaction am I going to give him.

I think my blurredly-calm reaction is seriously a kill joy to him. :p

Sorry flasher, next time please tell me before hand that you are going to flash. If not it would seriously take me a few seconds to realise that to give you any "interesting reaction" .

Ecstatic

2010-06-10T21:04:00.001+08:00

I just realized I am so easily pleased!

*Ahem* Whoever that thinks I am very hard to please I beg to defer with this incident as prove! :p

With just one simple email, I felt all the hardships I had endured was so so worth it.

Now that the expectations had been set, I do hope I can keep up and continue to excel with the constantly demanding load!

I have struggled, I have complained and I have cried... and down the road, I know I will have a lot of struggling, complaining and crying to do... But all's worth it as long as this leads me to where I eventually want to end up in.

Ida keep it up! :)

Hmph... just a thought, maybe I am just not so slow and stupid after all!

Politically Correct

2010-06-04T00:08:00.001+08:00

Work is just plain tiring sometimes.

You don't only work hard.

You work hard to be politically correct as well.

Maybe its just me trying to please everyone.

But hell ya... being politically correct means getting a lower tendency of being stabbed on the back less? God knows.

***

Just a joke on being politically correct. Right smack on the dot.

It is more political than correct because if you are not political you would not even think of being politically correct! Isn't it?

Harmony-seeking idealist.

2010-05-31T23:39:00.004+08:00

Apparently according to the personality test I did, I am a Harmony-seeking idealist. I wonder if how true this is?

Harmony-seeking Idealists are characterised by a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. They are warm-hearted persons by nature. They are sympathetic and understanding. Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. They have a strong understanding of human nature and are often very good judges of character. But they are mostly reserved and confide their thoughts and feelings to very few people they trust. They are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if reaching a certain target is very important to them they can assert themselves with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy.

Harmony-seeking Idealists have a lively fantasy, often an almost clairvoyant intuition and are often very creative. Once they have tackled a project, they do everything in their power to achieve their goals. In everyday life, they often prove to be excellent problem solvers. They like to get to the root of things and have a natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. At the same time, they are practically oriented, well organised and in a position to tackle complex situations in a structured and carefully considered manner. When they concentrate on something, they do so one hundred percent - they often become so immersed in a task that they forget everything else around them. That is the secret of their often very large professional success.

As partners, harmony-seeking idealists are loyal and reliable; a permanent relationship is very important to them. They seldom fall in love head over heels nor do they like quick affairs. They sometimes find it very difficult to clearly show their affection although their feelings are deep and sincere. In as far as their circle of friends is concerned, their motto is: less is more! As far as new contacts are concerned, they are approachable to only a limited extent; they prefer to put their energy into just a few, close friendships. Their demands on friends and partners are very high. As they do not like conflicts, they hesitate for some time before raising unsatisfactory issues and, when they do, they make every effort not to hurt anyone as a result.

Adjectives which describe your type: introverted, theoretical, emotional, planning, idealistic, harmony-seeking, understanding, peace-loving, sensitive, quiet, sympathetic, conscientious, dogged, complicated, inconspicuous, warm-hearted, complex, imaginative, inspiring, helpful, demanding, communicative, reserved, vulnerable

Office Politics 101

Surviving office politics 101: be truthful and frank, yet be deceiving and evasive.

Leaving Work Early

2010-05-15T10:00:00.010+08:00

Yesterday was fun. Maybe we should make more time for activities like these and leave work when the sun is still up! I don't really mind if we are stuck in a jam, but to leave work when the sun is still somewhere up there and the sky is still sort of bright is kinda exhilarating! :)

Thank god for Michelle for MAKING me leave work! :p

***

Reading back one of my older post on Big Fat Greek Wedding. There's a snippet in that post that make me felt so WTF because it reminds me of work and my favorite client of the month!

Why am I blogging about this? Mostly because I have nothing better to write about? Or maybe because THERE ARE TOO MANY WEDDING PHOTOS FLOODING AROUND ON FACEBOOK THESE FEW DAYS therefore making me feel like watching heartwarming love stories which leads to me blog about it? :P

There you go my dear client, you have a push factor from Internet to TV and back to Internet all from me! (@______@)"

Promises

2010-05-12T22:47:00.000+08:00

A site that sells awesome vintage looking handmade jeweleries - Tongue Chic. I "heart". Especially this long necklace called "Promises". My favorite accessory from that site.

Though simple, the necklace goes very well with any plain top... especially since I have SO MANY plain tops! :p

However, the best thing I like about it is the name. "Promises". Doesn't it sound dreamily romantic in a way? Imagine if this necklace is given by a loved one. A boyfriend or a husband. It will be like a token of promise, a token of love and care. A promise made by a loved one towards eternal love for each other.

Fine... dream on Ida, Dream on.

In Future

2010-05-04T22:34:00.001+08:00

Suay issue number 1:
Went respondent's and the child is not home. Hello! The purpose of me here is to interview your child and you!

Suay issue number 2:
Went respondent's home, the respondent is great... but... TMNet just had to play jokes and decides to bail out at my respondents house!

Suay issue number 3:
Why am I so blur and why are there so many bullet holes on my body now?

Suay issue number 4:
Loitering around the mall, can't go home (cause of the jam), yet can't go to my respondent's place yet because its still to early. Run around the mall, looking for a cyber cafe, and TMNet just had to play jokes again. This time, the line at the cyber cafe is not working. I should had have a laptop with me!

Suay issue number 5:
At the end of the day, I only managed to observe half of a home visit from the two initial planned ones. WTF!

Mental note to self:

In future, bring thy freaking laptop when going home visits. The waiting time somewhere can be spend on work!
In future, drive thy own car to work! It makes things so much easier and it adds so much more stress!
In future, learn to speak up and play tai chi!
In future, bring the commissioning form to temple/church to be blessed before starting a project! Finance's blessings are not strong enough to make sure there are no screw ups!
In future, be strong, stay strong, and hang on for two years!
In future, never be the one that service the client. Let yourself to be the one being serviced!

Reality vs. Life

2010-05-02T21:49:00.002+08:00

I have lost the inspiration to blog.

Life has been mundane... and it only evolves around WORK! Never anymore do I have the energy to go club, to enjoy life and chit chat with friends or just to take a stroll in the park and enjoying the sunset and breeze.

Is this the life I'm looking for? I guess not. I hate stress, I hate problems popping up all the time that needs immediate attention. I like to be able to take my own sweet time doing something, I like to be able to just walk in slow strolls and not rush around like a busy city girl.

Somehow, I think i'm already loosing sight of what I like, what I want and what I love. I used to want to be a career woman, to climb to the top of the corporate ladder, to make use of the degree that I worked so hard for... and now... all I want is to settle down and enjoy life as it is without work coming into the way.

I guess reality can really change a person's perspective in life.

I have just started working, and already looking forward to a vacation... Just can't wait for Redang. Imagine myself sunbathing for a tan, taking slow strolls on the sandy beaches and enjoying the sunset. And best of all, spending time away from work and KL.

****

Heard some good news regarding a very good friend in Sydney. She is in a relationship again, I guess that is a good thing. That means she had moved on from her past relationship, settling well in a new place and enjoying her new life. :)

It is Just One of Those Days Where I Feel Crappy

2010-04-18T21:58:00.005+08:00

Work had been so stressful that I nearly broke down on Friday. The panic and frustration was just so overwhelming that I went straight to the office fridge and got myself a nice cold Heineken to calm myself down. At that point of time... all I could think of was "I need something stronger than this" ... WTF!

*pure signs of of alcoholism* haha

The recruitment process for a project that I am handling was just too screwed up to be able to pin point what actually went wrong in the process. God knows why. Maybe I am just too slow and stupid and I can't get things done fast and accurate enough. Or maybe I was just so used to enjoying a slow paced life in Brisbane till I forgot how was it like to work in Malaysia? *shake head with a mild panic*

Colleagues had been very sympathetic with my "plight", trying to calm me down by telling me it is not my fault that the criteria is hard to achieve and I am just too new to be able to predict problems that might arise. But still, it is my project and I am in charge of it... new or not, I am still responsible for whatever that is happening to it!

Adding to the frustration and emo-ness, certain friends are telling me that I am a superwomen and can do anything; and certain friends are "welcoming" me to the work life when I complain to them how hay wired it has been at work. I really do not know what kind of reaction to give. Should I be happy or what. But to tell the truth I just felt it to be pure sarcasm and inconsideration.

Maybe I am just "demanding" too much from friends. Thinking they might be a good support group that I can go to when I am down, a support group that listen to my problems and comforts me and baby me when I am at my low point? Guess only parents can do that...

Today is just one of the days where I am feeling lazy yet I need to finish up my work on a weekend day. :(
So uni life... WTF!

Just a piece of self-entertainment... I really think every office needs something like this! :p

***

Video Games Live on Saturday night was good. But I still think the orchestra could have been able to do better, and the sound system could have been better as well.

I have to admit I am not much of a video game player, hence my knowledge in that area is so limited that it can be described as NIL. This show really opened up my eyes to the variety of games they have and also the extensive work behind composing the songs for video games!

I have to say, when I was playing the games on Wii, I really did not notice the music playing on the backdrop (This does not apply to Band Hero ok! - I am not so blur till I did not notice the music in that game!).. too engrossed in the games to notice such "minor" details! :p

我以为

2010-04-03T22:59:00.003+08:00

我以为有了目标就会开心
我以为我已经付出了很多
我以为未来会很美好
我以为我走的是条平坦的路
我以为只要努力过就可以
我以为别人能做到的我也能
我以为我不会自卑
我以为人生不会痛苦
我以为有了事业就会快乐
我以为我可以适应
我以为只要坚持就可以赢到一切
我以为我不想做的事我就可以不做
我以为只要我尝试我就可以做得到
我以为我不会为谁而哭泣
我以为我不会偷偷的掉眼泪
我以为我可以不在乎
我以为我不会去想念以前
我以为我只要坚定心情就会好
我以为只要很忙就不会乱想
我以为人是可以控制自己的
很显然，所有的事情都只是我以为

Random Week

2010-03-28T01:41:00.001+08:00

Dad has been throwing all sorts of books and magazines into my room ever since I started going college.

But I think, this is the best book so far. See the last line? 100s of Ready-to-Use Phrases for Coming Out on Top Even in the Toughest Office Condition.

That will probably come useful sooner or later. Especially in situations when I feel like STRANGLING someone... yet I still have to smile SWEEEETLY and talk NICEEEELY to them.

***

Steamboat had always been one of my favorite dinner places to go to with friends. But I think I'm swearing off Steamboat for at least ONE YEAR.

Reason being. Four girls, two soups, and stacks and stacks food on the table. Three and a half hour of steamboat, and I can still feel the "super full" after effect of the steamboat during lunch on the very next day.

That is not something I want to do anytime soon.

Overpriced dinner at a terrible restaurant

2010-03-21T20:12:00.001+08:00

I was supposed to go Putrajaya for the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta and ended up being FFK-ed. But that's not what I'm going to talk about today.

So instead of going up to Putrajaya, I went down to KL to kidnap the workaholic Paolo to dinner at Hajime, Jalan Ampang.

It is supposed to be one of the best Japanese food around KL. But apparently it is not! I have to admit, the ambiance, the lighting and the seating area is just great. However, the food and the service... SUCKS big time.

We gave them the liberty of choosing the best food for us with a budget of RM80 p/p, and it ended up being the worst and the most expensive/overpriced Japanese food I've ever eaten. Even the Hanaichi sushi bar is better and more worth it!

Giving the fact that it is the chef that chose what we had for the night, at least there should be a food introductory when food is served! But there was no introduction whatsoever and we did not even know what we were having!

The food "looks" nice. But it's only the looks. The Sashimi is not THAT fresh; The cod fish is OVERCOOKED; there's supposedly seafood in the pumpkin thingy, but I did not bite onto any seafood; I have no complains for the sushi; and the Mayo on the scallop dish tasted SUPER weird; oh and by the way, there's a garden salad that tasted like yee sang (@____@)".

Mind you, the whole meal cost RM240++ for three people and the food above is shared by all three people! Fuckers! I'm not complaining because I am cheapskate and I think I've been over charged. But the thing is, to pay RM80 p/p for that kind/amount of food is so so not worth it! I'd rather pay RM100++ p/p for a real good Japanese meal in KL Hilton!

Terrible service + awful food + super overpriced = Hajime.

Gosh. I felt like a "water fish" (sui yu) now that I start to "reminisce" what I had last night! (@____@)"

St Patrick's Day

2010-03-16T23:12:00.000+08:00

Instead of getting me some VIP tickets for the St Patrick's celebration in One U this coming Friday, my dad got me this...

well, it's better than nothing, at least it's souvenirs of the event.

I tried the "hat" and the four leaved clover specs. And I looked FUGLY in it! So fugly that I could not even bear to post the photos on this blog! So if that's the case, I will "forgo" the pleasure of wearing these "items" this Friday :p

像猫的女孩

2010-03-05T18:31:00.008+08:00

一个女孩上自习,太凉了,
她发短信让男朋友去送衣服给她,男孩打游戏拒绝了.
这件事让她郁闷了两天然后气消了,
虽然是件小事,不会影响两人以后, 但是她说,
她会记住, 以后自习一定会带衣服,
如果哪天忘记了, 即使冷死,也不再会叫他送.
我很能明白这种感觉.
很久以前,一个女孩某天夜里,
心情特别低回,特别想念某个人的安慰,
然后半夜时分,打电话给他,说很想听他说话,
电话那头的他从睡梦中醒来,不耐烦的敷衍她.
从此以后,她再没有伤心无助时给他打过电话.
我发现女孩身上有一种猫性.
小猫在撒娇或者做错事的时候,需要别人的安慰和教导,
如果这时主人打击了它,它会狠狠记住,不会再犯.
女孩,有着猫一样的自尊.特别是陷入爱情里的女孩...
在别人看来无关紧要,其实需要呵护,
因为爱,已经让她的心变得柔软.
她的这一点自尊,其实是要你对她的在乎.
我看过一句特别经典的话,
有时候女孩需要一个男孩,就像逃机者需要降落伞,
如果此时此刻他不在,那么以后他也不必在了.
真的,就是这样！
如果哪天猫咪用坚定的眼神看着你说我可以的时候，
那么猫咪已经做好了离开的准备了!
女孩是要独立，
但是独立到不再会对你不讲道理的撒娇任性，
不再会无厘头的缠着你，
你觉得你对于她同路人还有多大区别呢?
女孩的猫性不是每个男孩都有幸看到的，
因为喜欢你，在意你才对你发出特有的咕噜噜声，
其他人只能听到猫喵喵叫，
而这一声咕噜噜只是为你而生，
有几个人会明白呢？？
我们爱折腾
只是爱折腾他而已。
如果有一天
我们慢慢发现自己可以一个人玩都不觉得闷
很久不捏他也不会手痒
只是静静的待在他旁边
不再想着法儿去玩它
谁能知道那时的我们该有多难过呢
男孩总会说女孩无理取闹
说女孩没事找事
说女孩不讲道理
说女孩不可理喻
为什么不去想想
她在对待别人的时候
为什么不是这样的态度
没错
如果有一天
她不再对你撒娇
她不再对你任性
她不再缠着你跟你要这个要那个
她不再因为你的任何事情微笑或者皱眉
那么
你就永远的失去她了！

我无意间在网上看到这篇文章，觉得它很有道理，不是只是对情人，也可apply在朋友身上。

有很多人“犯了错”后，以为向对方道个歉就会没事。但有时候，同样的“错误”犯多了，说对不起也是无补于事的。因为心会累，经验也会让人害怕再度“上当”。

正如 “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me", 这也是人类自我保护的一种吧？

Uncivilized Malaysia

2010-02-27T21:54:00.000+08:00

After a week back in Malaysia, I'm still not very used to the place where I call home.

Most people know I'm never a very calm driver. So I tend to take public transport especially when I'm going down to KL. However, I really hate the "unwanted attention" I get when I'm walking along the streets alone.

Once in awhile, I'll hear people shouting "Ah Moi, Ah Moi, Wheet wheet...". It just feels so wrong and I hate it to the max.

Somehow I felt humiliated.
(1) because these people really do not know how to respect others.
(2) I think only uncivilized people will do that.
(3) I felt dirty because I attracted such "unwanted attention".

Gosh I really need to get used to my manual, non power steering 10 year old Proton Iswara to avoid all these "issues" when I am travelling alone.

Commonwealth Bank. The Bank that Gives You Shit

2010-02-19T15:14:00.002+08:00

Everyone spend their last few days in Australia having "stress-free" happy time with friends, making the most from the limited time left in Australia. And as for me, the last few weeks was a nightmare, and sending money home in AUD proved to be a much more harder task than I think it would be. No thanks to all the "help" I got from Commonwealth Bank!

It all started three weeks ago when my mum said "hey it's time to send your money back". So I went into the bank telling the Comm Bank people "I want to make an IMT to Malaysia and I want it in AUD".

Few days later, I got an email from Comm Bank telling me that my mum's foreign account in Malaysia with CIMB Bank is INVALID and the money has been bounced. How can it be invalid when my parents have been sending me and my sister money from that account for the past 10 years!

So after some "brilliant investigation job" done by my mum, we found out Comm Bank's corresponding bank in Malaysia (Maybank) had took a very smart step by converting ALL MY MONEY into RM!! STUPID cheaters trying to earn money from foreign exchange!!

So back into the bank again with a major question, "why is my money in fucking RM when I wanted it in AUD?" of course the money will be bounced because an AUD account will not accept RM! After a series of complaints, corrections was done, and they even verbally promised me that the FULL AMOUNT in AUD will be safely in my mum's account ASAP.

A few days have passed by and still no news from mum that she had received any money. So back again calling up Comm Bank asking about the whereabouts of my money. Comm Bank had the nerve to tell me that the money has been send to my mum's foreign account and the money is now with the CIMB bank's corresponding bank (ANZ) in Australia, waiting for further instructions to send the AUD back to my mum's account. Another round of investigation is done from the Malaysian side and the money is apparently still in Maybank. FMF! Comm Bank have the nerve to tell me a different story summore!

And today, Comm Bank came back to me telling me that I only have two options at this point of time:

1. take the money in RM

2. convert it to AUD and I might lose money on the forex. FMF I have already lose money the moment those ninkampuks convert my money to RM at the very beginning. Summore have the nerve to ask me to convert again and let them earn more! Idiots!

And they have the nerve to tell me that I did not say I want my money in AUD initially. If that's the case why layan my first complain and tell me everything is do-able!

Until now... my money is still no where to be seen. :'(

Will update soon once I lodge my complaint with the Financial Ombudsman, ASIC and APRA!

Commonwealth Bank, The Bank that Gives You Shit.

Chinese New Year in Brisbane

2010-02-16T12:51:00.013+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year!!

It's just 年初三and I am still on time to wish everyone for ang pow's! This is my first Chinese New Year away from home, and what did I do?

The morning of 年三十 was spend on cleaning the house! From the room to the kitchen to the toilet! It is really so hard to believe that the house is so darn clean and tidy now. Phew... spring cleaning IS hard work. No wonder mummy hates CNY spring cleaning every year.

Following spring cleaning was 团年饭 with Uncle Sam and Aunt Lai Kuen in the city. Many of their friends and family attended the dinner and there was Lion Dance to boost up the CNY mood! Not to forget another CNY must - gambling session! Chris was the winner in the gambling session at Joyce's, that lucky guy managed to get everyone's "contribution" for Qian's V-day present!

大年初一was just any normal day. But I was determined to get some CNY mood so we went AMC for 72家租客 after a super-licious dinner at Sono. The movie was just so-so, and I still prefer the 家有喜事 movies in the 90's. There's more CNY feel to it ler!

Since there was nothing to do on 年初二, we decided to go temple to 拜拜! Lighted a candle for luck, health and prosperity for the family, and I got a 好签 indicating that every thing will sail smoothly after hardships, and I only have myself to answer to! Not too bad aye. Hope things goes as smoothly as what the 签 says！ :)

As for my CNY look this year... I'm in love with Maxi dress!

Baking for Chinese New Year

2010-02-07T15:03:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and to make my first CNY away from Malaysia feel more CNY, I decided to bake some Peanut Cookies for friends and family.

This baking spree for the Peanut Cookies is just so troublesome!

First, I need to de-shell the peanuts.
Than, I need to de-skin the peanuts.
After that, I need to bake the peanuts to make it smell more fragrant.
Following that, I need to blend the peanuts into a powder form.

Only after all those hard work with the peanuts can I start mixing the ingredients to bake the cookies! :(

Hands are sore from all the de-shelling. But it is fulfilling when everyone that had tried it said its real good and there's a CNY feel to it! :)

Oh mentioning CNY reminds me something important. I need new clothes for CNY! :p

Good Bye Reiji

2010-02-04T20:36:00.007+08:00

The first photo was from my very first Reiji party in Brisbane. Three years later, the second photo equals to my last Reiji in Brisbane.

Same party, different venue, different crowd. Everyone and everything has moved on, maybe it is really time for me to move on as well. A change of place? A change of life? A change of direction?

But before I change, and move to bigger things in life, let me just bid Reiji farewell. It has been one of my favorite parties in Brisbane, and it used to be THE party where we de-stress after assignments. Many of the crazy moments we spent there was indeed fun... and expensive. :)

Those were the days aye. Simple yet crazy. :)

OMG I have grown older!! Sob sob... :"(

Me the Next Star of Australia?

2010-01-27T14:34:00.001+08:00

As EVERYONE knows, my daily activity is mainly made out of sitting in front of the computer and going through seek.com in search for a suitable employment in Australia.

One day, out of boredom, excitement or whatever I was thinking at that time, I decided to send a couple of my photos and a short cover letter in response to a casting agency's advertisement on seek.com. God knows I have TOTALLY forgot about that email... and today...

I received a call from the agency to ask me to audition for a role in Underbelly!

Wait a second, are you kidding me? Me audition for a role in Underbelly? Hmm... Ecstatic as I can be, I guess not? I'm not cut out to be an actor! And I think a marketing position to promote the series would probably be a more welcoming opportunity! :p

But receiving a phone call like this probably does good for my confidence? At least the photos attracted "someone"... (@_____@)"

Maybe the call is a ploy or a prank or even some syndicate that goes around telling girls that they got an audition to TV shows. But I don't care. I'm currently in the mood to SS. :p

Microsoft and Cibai

2010-01-20T20:43:00.003+08:00

I happen to stumble upon this while browsing aimlessly online...

I know I'm pretty out dated as this cibai research project by Microsoft has been around since 2007.

Basically cibai it is an abstract interpretation-based static analyzer for modular analysis and verification of java classes. However, shouldn't Microsoft come up with a better name than cibai that? Needless to say MOST people if not EVERYONE from Malaysia, Singapore and maybe Taiwan should know better to not simply use the cibai word in any normal circumstances unless they are asking for a fight! :p

For those who are still scratching their heads over what cibai the word really mean, refer to urbandictionary for an in-depth definition! :)

The Power of the "A" Word

2010-01-19T12:16:00.005+08:00

"The use of the word “Allah” is allowed for non-Muslims in the Federal Territories, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak as the head of state is not a Sultan...
...the other states in the country had Islamic affairs enactments which prohibited the use of the word by non-Muslims"

~thestar.com.my~

Hmm... If that's the case if anyone in Selangor wants to use the "A" word, please step over the border i mean literally walk over to KL to utter that word and step back into the Selangor border again....

Oh and not to mention Christian publication in Malay will need to have two versions, one for Sabah, Sarawak, Penang and the Federal Territories, another one for the other states that prohibit the use of the "A" word? And later on IF the technology improves and a mind reading device do exist, does it mean we can't even think of the "A" word in those "forbidden states"?

Hmm, so should I delete this blog entry when I am back in Selangor to avoid being detained for using the "A" word? WTF!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

I always am and still is a sucker for romantic comedies because I find it easy to "consume" without using much of my brain cells. Ok I'm lazy even when it comes to watching movie. But the point is, romantic comedies with its cheesy and forever repeating plots will always have a beautiful ending whereby and they live happily ever after everything works perfectly well.

Think again, I guess most people (or rather me) use this as an escapism from the "cruelty" of real life. Using those "happy" plots to make up for the lack of happy "endings" in each phase of our lives, giving us me momentary SS syndrome to cheer ourselves up. :p

I have been watching a lot of romantic comedies these few days, ranging from those produced in the 2000's to those produced in the 1990's or even the 1980's. One of my favorite had to be My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The characters brings an attractive, warmhearted simplicity to the movie, portraying a close loving family that can overcome any "obstacle". Most important, capturing enough romance with the right amount of "slapstick" throughout the movie, making it fun movie to watch.

Why am I blogging about this? Mostly because I have nothing better to write about? Or maybe because THERE ARE TOO MANY WEDDING PHOTOS FLOODING AROUND ON FACEBOOK THESE FEW DAYS therefore making me feel like watching heartwarming love stories which leads to me blog about it? :P

Last Week of 2009

2010-01-08T08:19:00.001+08:00

The last week of 2009 was a pretty hectic week ranging from:

Cooking and baking for Christmas :)

Christmas Eve BBQ near the new ugly Kurilpa Bridge

Christmas Day Lunch at Calvin's and Christmas Reiji with the "boys"! :p

A fun filled day at Wet 'n' Wild even though it was FREAKING raining the whole bloody day!

A very dizzy Avatar 3D experience that made me felt like I just got out from the Avatar machine when I finished the movie!

New Year countdown at again the new ugly Kurilpa Bridge

And that sums up the last week for 2009!

A new header photo for the new year! OK, not really the perfect header. Still searching for the perfect one after the old "hot air balloon" header decided to bail on me. :(

Let's hope for a better, "funner" and more exciting 2010 :)

P.S. I miss my Brizzy babes and the constant G.O.S.S.I.P. sessions we three have :p

Happy 2010

2010-01-01T13:19:00.000+08:00

First day of 2010. Yet all I can think of is uncertainties for the future. Emo-ness new year... NO GOOD! :(

Have a Happy Year ahead!

Santa is Coming

2009-12-22T10:10:00.000+08:00

Christmas is nearing and after going over to Tingalpa for the Christmas lights competition viewing, the Christmas-sy mood has officially kicked in!

These people really put in A LOT of effort to decorate their houses with multiple colored lights and Christmas decorations! The photos does not do justice to how beautiful the whole street was with those decorations. One of my utmost favorite decoration is the "singing penguins" that starts singing and dancing to the song "Jingle Bell" whenever people walk past them. They are FREAKING adorable!

Oh by the way, I became a Radio Presenter for an hour last Sunday! :) The Christmas wishlist topic we (Kendrick and I) were discussing also made me eagerly wait for Christmas to come!

Last year before Christmas, I was frantically planning and packing for South Island trip with deary sister. Spending Christmas Eve morning with wonderful DB colleagues having morning tea, Christmas Eve night with a bunch of great Malaysian-Kiwi friends partying and playing games. I wonder how this year's Christmas Eve will be?

逃避

2009-12-16T17:00:00.000+08:00

我不爱上msn和人聊天，因为讨厌别人问我我回答不了的问题。

我不知道我什么时候要回家。

我更不知道我什么时候会找到工作。

我也不知道我还该不该留在这个我呆了三年的“家”。

别人的“关心慰问”成了我逃避的问题。

有时候我想，我为何要跟一些没关紧要的人交代“行踪”？

最近，连一向来能逗我微笑的兴趣，也让我提不起颈来。

我是运气不好？还是我根本就是没有才华？

Failed 9 Layer Kuih

2009-11-27T16:36:00.000+08:00

Boohoo.... my Nine Layer Kuih fail la!

The "exterior" looks nice, but the texture is ermmm... ermmmm... somehow jelly-fied and sticky-fied?
Darn... should have used corn flour instead of glutinous flour! Stupid recipe giving misguided ingredients!

The bright side for today's cooking sp;ree is that at least my Tong Yun tasted nice. BUT bloody Tong Yun is fool-proof and anybody can make it! :(

Well, smart people prepare for emergencies and surprises. So at least I can consider myself smart for buying an extra can of coconut milk to make Kuih Talam for tomorrow?

Ida Low in a very foul mood :( :( :(

Girls' Day-in

2009-11-26T11:29:00.005+08:00

It has been awhile since I had some "quality" all girls company/chat/gossip session... Ahh... Miss the old days when my Brizzy Babes were around.... (@______@)"

But anyway, yesterday was fun. The fun part of the day was not having guys around and we can gossip like nobody's business! AND not having ANYONE JK telling me that I am becoming more like an aunty when I gossip and talk about COOKING! GRrrrrr.......

I think baking cookies and cupcakes were the secondary activity yesterday, gossiping was the main "activity" instead! *Thanks Jean for organising baking day!* wet eyes

Baking task number 1: Lemon Creamed Butter Cookie decorated with icing sugar

Baking task number 2: Oreo-Cheese Cupcakes decorated with Oreo flakes and whipped cream

The cooks/gossip girls of the day: Jean, Ah Bun, Sherilyn, Winnie, Carol & ME!

Love you girls!

And introducing our very first food tester: Ryo

I think he sort of liked the cookie he was CRAMPING into his mouth? Poor him... had to go through a "process" to compliment us and our "victories". Which is something like this:

Ryo: WAR! Very nice ler! *eyes open wide wide*

Us: Of course la!

Ryo: Eh how you make it one? *as if very interested look*

Us: Aiyo very easy only *act smug and proud of our efforts*

Girls.... like compliments and nice nice comments to amplify our small efforts to make us feel good. :p

紅豆

2009-11-20T11:23:00.009+08:00

還沒好好的感受　雪花綻放的氣候
我們一起顫抖　會更明白　甚麼是溫柔
還沒跟你牽著手　走過荒蕪的沙丘
可能從此以後　學會珍惜　天長和地久

＊有時候　有時候　我會相信一切有盡頭
相聚離開　都有時候　沒有甚麼會永垂不朽

＃可是我　有時候　寧願選擇留戀不放手
等到風景都看透　也許你會陪我看細水長流

還沒為你把紅豆　熬成纏綿的傷口
然後一起分享　會更明白　相思的哀愁
還沒好好的感受　醒著親吻的溫柔
可能在我左右　你才追求　孤獨的自由

-紅豆-

2012

2009-11-16T12:28:00.000+08:00

Went for 2012 during the weekend, and this sets me thinking. What if 2012 is true and the world is coming to an end? I wonder how would I react in this situation... would I be like the pilgrims kneeling down and praying hard to god, asking for repentance before dooms day? or will I be scrambling around the earth looking for a way to stay alive? But I guess all these are just random questions that will never be answered unless the situation really arises. But one thing for sure, no matter what, I want to be with the people I love during those frantic moments. :)

I cannot predict what will happen in 2012. But I can definitely predict what will happen this weekend... A BLOODY BUSY WEEKEND WITH A BUS LOAD FULL OF ACTIVITIES!

Women with bigger breasts found to be smarter

2009-11-13T09:37:00.003+08:00

Read an article in The Star about women being smarter if they have bigger breast?

Hmm.... wait a minute. So this means I am "not so smart" after all!

Maybe I need a boob job to increase and enhance my "smart brain cells" than... (@_______@)""

A sudden surge of I miss..

2009-11-11T17:39:00.014+08:00

A sudden surge of I miss..

travelling and exploring new places. Widening my horizons and realizing how lucky I am to be able to travel around and see the world...

good food from around that tantalizes my taste buds.

my twin and Sin Hui. The two people that I adore and who I came through thick and thin in a used to be foreign country. The Park Road Boys. Who cheers me up when I cry, cook for me when I am hungry, bear with me when I am grumpy and accepts me for who I am.

ray. The cook that irritates me at times yet knows me well. Andrew. His comments that never fail to frust me, yet leave a smile on my face. Debbie. The bride to be whom I find to be one of the best travelling companion...

ah Poh, Lao Gong, Xin Xin, Ling Ling, Ah Ping, Kah Hooi, Shu Chin, Koko, Yang Yang. Friends I love, friends whom I have known for years, and have stuck with me for years. Friends I could never picture myself without, as my life would be incomplete if you have not came into my life.

and my lovely family. Who are scattered around the globe.

There are many more "I miss"... but these are the ones for the recent days.

Holidays and Food never fail to cheer me up.

And these are the people who came at top of mind

when I'm feeling lonely and wanting some company...

虾面

2009-11-09T20:06:00.005+08:00

心血来朝煮了一锅的“虾面”。

不管怎样,每次煮的东西都觉得不及妈咪的，还是觉得妈咪的最好吃。。。

好怀念“饭来张口”就有槟城美食的日子！

有妈咪在真好 :p

An accident filled week and Kuih Bengkang

2009-10-28T13:46:00.008+08:00

Accident prone Ida was back in business last week with a "Bola" kena head and a cut finger... and all this, ladies and gentleman is on the left side of my body AGAIN!

Seems like the left side of my body likes being hit/cut/burned... WTF!

Back to my head... I was hit in a badminton court by a soccer ball. What are the odds actually to have a group of guys playing soccer in a badminton court and I got hit even though there's a plastic sheet (serving as a wall) in between the two courts!? God knows...

And as for my finger... The knife I was using at work was so freaking sharp that I only knew I cut my finger when it was bleeding profusely with blood dripping on the chopping board (@___@)" To all the guest who drank Corona that night, your lime came at the expense of my poor RINGMAN! :p

****

My kitchen is on turbo today and I baked a Malaysian Dessert called Kuih Bengkang :) Which was supposed to look like that....

But due to some "technical" (a.k.a. ingredients) difficulties my Kuih turned out white because i did not add any coloring into it! :p Lucky me, though it looks different... it taste exactly the same like what they sell in Pasar Malam back home!!

Woohoo... I'm in a chirpy and good mood today even though the weather is so dark and gloomy!

郑老师

2009-10-17T19:24:00.008+08:00

Facebook, a network that "spreads" information around with such a quick pace... and it is through Facebook I learnt the recent passing of my std 4 primary school teacher- 郑老师

One year in C class was the nightmare of my primary school life... embarrassing "ear pulling" antics outside other classrooms or in the open compound where EVERYONE in school can see, sitting behind the classroom for weeks, sitting OUTSIDE the classroom for weeks... Those were the days when I came out with different ideas daily to skip class...

Displease she showed when I went out for trainings and competitions in primary school. Yet when i see her once a year during high school sports day, she will tell me how happy she is for my success in sports. Only than I realised scolding me, jeering at me, and embarrassing me was her way to care and to teach me in the absence of my parents during primary school.

Only a mere "thank you" was said to her at my high school graduation; and I moved on to a larger city and to another country. Never again I saw her since that day...

For the past years, visiting her had never crossed my mind even though I think of her as one of the teachers that really cared for my well being... It is a regret I will again have to live with...

A reflection of life... it is short and unpredictable. May郑老师rest in peace. God bless.

Sensitive Mood

2009-10-15T10:53:00.004+08:00

Somehow life is so mundane that I have nothing much to blog about...

Same old "activities" of waking up in the morning, sending resumes, receiving rejection letters (email), cooking, "socializing" (kononya still got a lot of socializing going on!)...

Everyone "envy" the lifestyle I'm living, yet I envy what other's have... Something to do and work hard for, working towards graduation and careers... And there I am still standing at the cross road waiting for the word "you're hired".

People tend to like asking/saying/commenting...

"So you're still unemployed?"

"Are you sure you spend time job hunting?"

"OMG! Don't tell me you're working in a shoe shop full time!"

"I see you're enjoying your time what! Don't need look for a job dy la!"

"Aiya... don't need to look for a job la, go look for a husband!"

"Aiyo, Don't be so choosy with jobs!"

Comments like these seem to hit me hard nowadays. Like salt on an open wound... I don't know why I have became sensitive to comments/questions/assumptions of others regarding these "issues"... But it seems to sting hard although I know they do not mean to say it in a "mean" way...

It's just my mood... I guess... A sensitive low self esteem mood kicking in currently...

厨房里的感觉

2009-10-01T08:28:00.006+08:00

我爱上呆在厨房里的感觉

它让我暂时逃离了现实

把一堆还不能吃的东西

煮成能放在嘴里美味的食物

让我觉得我是有贡献的

小时候我问妈妈

“为什么你要花那么多时间去煮一道我们5分钟内可以吃完的东西？”

妈妈没答我。。。但我现在知道了

只要是在那5分钟内吃东西的人大声赞赏我的厨艺时

那种开心地感觉是无价的

这就是我近来得到唯一的存在价值的认同

***

今天心血来潮煮了道槟城美食Laksa! :)

这道也是第一次在没妈妈的监督下完成的 “艰难食品” 。味道不赖，卖相也OK!

真的很有成就感。:)

虚假的笑容

2009-09-29T11:58:00.006+08:00

外表看起来的开朗并不代表内心里的笑容。

心里的挣扎，伤感并无人知晓。

我每天努力地笑，努力地在伪装我自己。

可惜，那并不能让我真的开心。

那煎熬的等待着一个几乎是零的希望，

已经有点让我喘不过气。

我累了，我想家了。。。

想念家里的温暖，想念爸妈无限的疼爱，

想念姐妹的嘘寒问暖，也想念起小时候那无忧的生活。

当别人向我说他有多不开心的时候，

我内心也在想，我何尝又不是？

Mid-Autumn Dolly Biscuit Baking Day :)

2009-09-28T15:04:00.007+08:00

I baked some cute adorable pigs and rabbits (dolly biscuits) for Mid-Autumn Festival...

This is the first time baking dolly biscuits without "parental supervision". Feeling that sense of achievement right now :p

Counting down the days till it soften and is ready to EAT!! Hoping it really softens that's it :)

***

In a much better mood today after baking and receiving a good news email!! Praying for the best :)

But than I wonder, maybe HOME is the place for me... ?

23 on 23

2009-09-23T11:45:00.010+08:00

I am 23 on 23! I just love this coincidence of the date of my birthday and my age... :p

Lucky me it's 23. Guess if its on the 31st I don't think I would have the guts to publicize me being 31 on 31! :p

So far, I've yet to celebrate my birthday, but guess what, 23rd September 2009 will definitely be on Australia's history book. Thanks to the FREAKING dust storm that hit NSW and QLD.

(Picture credits: JK and news.com.au)

Clearview Street is no more clear view, or rather should be renamed Dustview? Brisbane is now like a scene from those western wild west horror film. Orange-y, windy and dusty. The only thing missing from the scene are the stray bundle of straws flying around in the city.

Hmm... Some birthday present hints... oxygen face mask maybe? (@_____@)"

Today's birthday "conversation" from my family:

Cutie Pie Baby Brother

Cutie pie baby brother: eh yee kah cher happy birthday... ok "gao dim"（搞定） can "sao gong"（收工）go sleep...

Cutie pie baby brother: online recipe ma... you go bake it yourself!

Mummy: so did he send it to you?

Me: No la! haha so no birthday cake lo... :p

Mummy: Nevermind, dirt storm over there, you can have sand cake today.

Me: (@_________@)"

Introducing my family members and their sense of humour... (@______@)"

Accident Prone Ida

2009-09-21T07:18:00.005+08:00

I first tested the strength of my back muscle with my mum's 22kg luggage, causing myself a painful muscle pull on the top left of my back.

Than I decided to test the density of a steel railing with my forehead.... and now there is a freeeaking big bump on my left forehead! Gosh, of all days, it had to happen on the week of my birthday when (i think) I will be taking the most photos in weeks... swt... how to cover the bump la!!!

Accident/clumsy streak is back again, and I wonder why everything happen on the left side of my body?!? All the hurt spots from my last accident/clumsy streak also happened on the left side of my body!!! (@_____@)"

Have You Ever?

2009-09-14T15:07:00.003+08:00

Have you ever met someone so evil that calling the person "human" seem inhuman to you?

Have you ever met someone you ever so despise that you hope that something really bad will accidentally kill that person?

Have you ever met someone you hate so much that it turned you into a person that kepts swearing and wishing for evil things to befall on that person?

Have you ever met someone that made you wonder why did God even bother to create such an animal? Even creating a chicken is much more better to the world, at least you can still eat it!!

Have you ever met someone that you can't even bring yourself to say that person's name aloud or even refer to that person by name?

Well I bloooooody fucking have... and I belive that person will bloody rot in hell!!!!!!

Even cursing or swearing can't make me feel better about a person like this....

Happy Birthday People!

2009-09-03T08:46:00.006+08:00

Life in Brisbane August 2009

2009-08-31T17:57:00.005+08:00

Went to the three days in a row to send off friends who are returning to their respective countries for good... Saturday night was for Kent, Sunday afternoon was for Ray and today was for Ben.

The Brisbane airport is now a very familiar sight... and I have a feeling, I will have more visits to the airport in another few months to come... (@____@)"

To date it has been 2 years 6 months and 13 days in Brisbane...

Now, Brisbane is never really the same without those very close friends that just left. Same city, same places to visit yet the feeling is so different... Scenes of the familiar activities, laughter and chats with these people will never again be replayed in Brisbane.

Maybe it is time to move on? Seeing the fact that everyone that has crossed path here in this Sunshine state has either relocated or gone back home.

Read from a friend's nickname on MSN, "it is not the environment that is limiting you, but yourself". That is pretty true. Maybe I'm limiting myself by just thinking of staying in Australia? Right now and than... this "decision to stay" is still a contemplation even though I am currently on bridging visa for my TR.

Last year, this time, I am a hard working masters student... this year, this time, I'm a number one bummer with nothing to do.... WTF!

***

Happy Merdeka! BUT I do not have any feelings about this "big" day whatsoever... When I was in Malaysia, it was just another public holiday, now in Australia, Merdeka is just a reminder that its the last day of August...

Random Update

2009-08-23T23:39:00.006+08:00

Busy Busy week with fun filled activities ranging from

My Masters Graduation To

Various road trips and short holiday with part of the family :)

It was definitely busy yet happy holiday... going to go back to reality once daddy and mummy dear leave Brisbane... :(

I think I need a change of environment...

My Waiting Period

2009-07-27T13:04:00.006+08:00

I have a new hobby! Or to say picking up a new hobby!

This new "hobby" of mine can definitely put my limited patience to test! I wonder how long this "hobby" will last me :p
***

Had been busy, yet free these few days, hence the lack of blogging.

Busy and free... Must be wondering why such a weird combination this is.

Busy because I have loads of activities going on, like dinners, gathering, picnic, reading and researching on information for PR/Job application/IELTS... Free because these activities are mainly just social activities... I wonder where is the aim and focus of all these activities? I have no job, no uni to attend to, just chilling, relaxing and not really doing anything that is positive for my career and future.

Sometimes I wonder where is the value of my existence at this very moment? The doubt I have in my own ability out in the "real world" is broadening within me. I wonder can I really make it out there?

I must admit I am never a very confident person. The waiting period I'm going through can definitely throw me into doubts and uncertainties... Guess I will just have to have faith in God, and trust that he will show me the way.

I have chosen this path. No matter what the end result are, I will have no regrets, because I had my fun times even if I fall badly along the way... :)

Trust?

2009-07-13T20:51:00.004+08:00

I cried of disappointment,
And I wonder why should I?
I guess its a good lesson of my life...

Trust is not such an easy word to use,
It takes a lot to trust someone,
Yet at times, it is just so easily breached and taken for granted.
When I heard about it,
Tears just could not stop sliding from my eyes...
I can assure you, I am not angry,
But just sad...

The incident might seem trivial to others,
But it meant a great deal to me....
Guess the naive me should start growing up for the "real world"

I'll Be Back...

2009-07-06T14:05:00.005+08:00

Had been away from Brizzy for two weeks... Melbourne was fun, and the most rewarding thing of the trip was the time spend with my Brizzy babes... :)
Still trying hard to sort myself out after the trip... I think I need some personal space and time to think over my next move... rejuvenated from the trip? I guess so, I hope... :p

Results are out... and I have officially graduated from QUT! Weee~~ so far, my results have been far more than satisfying, and I am VERY happy with it!

***
Those who have my phone number is Aus, please SMS me your phone numbers, I've lost everyone's number. How I lost everyone's number is a story for another day. Right now trying to sort out my room and laundry!

Jam Packed Weekend

2009-06-22T15:32:00.009+08:00

My social life is BACK!! Konon-nya social life as if I had one... but at least, I'm not staying at home 24/7 staring at notes or my laptop anymore!

The past weekend (including one weekday) has been packed with ACTIVITIES!!! Ranging from makan-makan sessions to Karaoke! :)

Friday was our K session in Hong Guan Gabba...First time going K with the SSA gang, and there were many surprises for the night (especially RAY)! 5 hours of K and my voice was a bit coarse by the end of the night... but it was worth it (@___@)" (weird theory aye)
Saturday was a very busy day straight down from lunch till wee early in the morning... first is a farewell cum birthday BBQ with Taiwanese classmates... than it was Kok Yan's birthday at night.
The BBQ was fun and I guess this will be the last time I see most of the Taiwanese classmates again as most of them are going back to Taiwan for good... :( Time flies, and I've known them for a year... These cheerful people has added colours to my life as a Master student :)
Sunday was a relaxing day and dinner with mummy Fisher.... His cooking is as yummy as usual but I miss his famous chicken soup! :p Suddenly, I miss Eric's 麻婆豆腐 and the Park Road get togather we always have half a year ago... And I realised my circle of friends had deviated and changed so much every semesters.... this always happens when friends graduate and leave Australia one by one.... Sometimes I wonder, why am I still here?

Another farewell on a gloomy rainy Monday night... and this is for Velvette in Pancake Manor. Before leaving, she left me another "joke of the day"!! I can't help laughing... but Vel If you are reading this, the answer is NO WAY! hahah we will kill each other I think :p

Random thoughts after exams

2009-06-19T09:12:00.003+08:00

Exams are over, and so is my life as a uni student... a sudden relief yet i wonder where is my goal. I suddenly felt lost...

Will be in Melbourne soon!! 6 more days to go... *BEAMING* :)

Anything to feel lost about or anything to feel sacred about... I'll leave it after I get back from my trip... Procrastination is so me..... OSTRICH IDA! (@_____@)"

情歌

2009-06-01T10:26:00.008+08:00

近来我爱上梁静茹的情歌

時光是琥珀淚一滴滴被反鎖
情書再不朽也磨成沙漏
青春的上游白雲飛走蒼狗與海鷗
閃過的念頭潺潺的溜走

命運好幽默讓愛的人都沉默
一整個宇宙換一顆紅豆
回憶如困獸寂寞太久而漸漸溫柔
放開了拳頭反而更自由

慢動作繾綣膠捲重播默片定格一瞬間
我們在告別的演唱會說好不再見

你寫給我我的第一首歌
你和我十指緊扣默寫前奏
可是那然後呢

還好我有我這一首情歌
輕輕的輕輕哼著哭著笑著
我的天長地久

長鏡頭越拉越遠越來越遠事隔好幾年
我們在懷念的演唱會禮貌的吻別

陪我唱歌清唱你的情歌
捨不得短短副歌心還熱著
也該告一段落

還好我有我下一首情歌
生命宛如靜靜的相擁的河
永遠天長地久

***

有个朋友的名言...他说爱情是 "不在乎天长地久,只在乎只在乎曾经拥有..." 我们要为现在而活,不要管未来会发生什么事情,只要现在是开心地拥有,未来的事情,未来再来解决...
听起来很有道理吧?就犹如"情歌"的mv里,女主角为当年没做出对等待的回复而遗憾的哭着...
但是人拥有了，就会想要更多,到时候"曾经拥有"又足够吗?

***

每次要考试都会特别爱在部落格乱写一番!
两个星期后我就毕业了！FOCUS!!!做最后冲刺！
