Happy New Year 2012

Happy New Year!!!

1st day of the year, another year at Bernard's place to celebrate or urshering the new year 2012.
Another year has come and more challenges, opportunities, problems and solutions ahead to face to solve and most important close the issue to move on to the next one.

I had a great time playing guessing games and word games. Watching X-Man 1st Class and Kungfu Panda 2 in the living room. Most ppl has left and I'm watching alone until 4 am, haha!!

We had this wiggly game played right after the 12 midnight of the count down. I was trying to finisih this article but was called to play this game. We line up in 2 groups, each group are given a wiggle that looks like caterpillar make of plastic and sticky. We have to wiggle it into our body from top to bottom and bottom to top. 1st person in the group has to wriggle it from bottom (pant up to shirt neck) out from the neck and pass to the 2nd person.
The 2nd person will drop the wrigle from top to bottom then pass to the 3rd person that will wriggle it from bottom to top over the shoulder and drop it down throught the pants and out. The 4th person will wriggle it from bottom to top out from the left hand, the 5th person will be from bottom to top out from the right hand. The 6th and 7th person will wriggle it from bottom to top and over and down. The last person which is the 7th person will have to make sure the wriggle drop and touch the floor to end the game. Which ever group that finished 1st is the winner and loser got to drink the boost... haha!

The next game is truth and dare game. I did a dare which require me to write a word with my ass and let the rest guess the word. I have to write it until someone knows the word that I'm spelling it out with my bud. The next one was a truth, what is the present that i recieve but hated most? Haha!

It was a good year to start off with funny games and laughing ushering the year. I had a great time and its always good to gather around with old friends once a while to keep in touch and get some update on each other. It was great.

I'm back to my home now going back to work on 3rd Jan 2012. It's 2012 already, as shown on my hp display 01/01/12... sigh. Time flies whenever we are not aware of it. This is my 4th year in KL, I believe I'm stuck there for good. Intention of coming back is slim...hmm. I'm looking forward to the future more.

I wish to have another fulfiling year. Face the challenge with brave heart, solving problem with rational solution. Seek oppurtunity as it comes.

2012 HERE I COME!!!

31st Dec 2011

2011-12-31T00:32:00.002+08:00

Last day of the year before greeting to 2012. Sitting here with my aunt in Bt. Ferringhi, she is reading the newspaper and updating me abt what is going to happen tonight in Penang and celebration that is going to happen.
Well its pass midnight and we are still awake savouring the last day of 2011. I will be in Sg. Ara at my friend house urshering the new year with BBQ and pot luck and lotsa games. Making resolution again and again every year but i did none of that this year or any other year that I can remember off. Anyway today is the last day of 2011 and it feels the same for me like any other years that pass either bitter or sweet memory to leave behind and move forward full force for the new year.
Reminding myself to enjoy life to the fullest and keep my diary updated on the happening. Alot of things happen this year, way to much to mention it all here in 1 entry. To make it short, I will super summerise it by recalling from my old mind.
->There is no CNY for me as my granny pass away last year, so nothing much to mention about CNY.
-> My uncle finally decided to resign from his job and join his family in Mel. So had makan session again and again; which its from KL to PG. I'm full...
-> I went to HK and Macau for holiday and had a splendid time besides some hiccups along the way.
-> I visited Malacca, AFamosa Cowboy town, it was good but the accomodation is such a rundown and stinks. The next day went to PD to stay in Grand Lexus Hotel which is really luxury and awesome. Love the pool in the hotel room attached, just love it.
-> Meeting up friends during my long holiday before Christmas till new year comes. My occasional long visit back to hometown. I'm very thankful to all my friends that meet me up and spending their time with me.

Last but not lease, Happy New Year to everyone.

Boarding AK0052 to Macau

2011-05-31T15:13:00.008+08:00

7th May 2011

I'm on my way to LCCT to board flight AK0052 to Macau (12.40pm) and will be spending my time in Hong Kong for the next 5 nights and back to Macau for 1 night. I have been planning for this holiday since last year after me and my fren agree on the holiday destination and plan.

As my alarm clock screaming for me to wake up, I was already tossing around my bed anxious to get ready and looking forward to my holiday in Hong Kong and Macau. My housemate fetch me for breakfast at a mamak shop for roti canai and chapati before driving me to KL Sentral. I'm glad that I don't have to wake up so early to take the bus then LRT to KL Sentral. As the car approaching KL Sentral, I have called my frens and they are there having breakfast in Mc D.

It was a good day/morning looking forward to my holiday, at around 9.00pm we board the Skybus to LCCT. My fren already did a web check-in so we only need to reach LCCT an hr earlier to check in our lugage.

We bough 3 bottles of 1.5L of water and check in our lugage as water in HK is very expensive but then its never enough. In Hong Kong mineral water can cost you up to $20 per bottle for a 700ml size. It is as expensive as a set meal for breakfast!!

As the clock on my watch ticking away, I'm now on my flight to Macau. We did not buy any meal but by the time we on the flight, I felt hungry and bough sandwiches and hot milo for a ridiculous flight price. oh yeah!!! It was rather comfortable ride as there are no kids screaming or crying on the plane. As for the weather it was unpredictable as the plane was moving up and down and making me feel a little nausea. I had a good sleep for an hour before I realise that we are going to land on Macau International Airport.

Yes! Landed safely on the ground of Macau the Portugese occupation state that has been return to China since 1997... Once we got our lugage we proceed to get a taxi to Macau Ferry Terminal which cost us ar $69. Next we start searching for First Ferry ticket booth and bough 3 tickets to Hong Kong Ferry Terminal ( China Ferry Terminal - nearer to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR) costing each ticket $155. I plan to reach ferry terminal at 5pm but due to the slow service of lugage that we were 30 mins late and cause our plan distorted so we end up buying ticket for 5.30pm ferry ticket and will reach Hong Kong around 6.30pm.

While on the ferry I purchased a packet of vitasoya ($8), both my fren have maggi mee on the ferry. I don't feel comfortable eating on water transportation... haha!

Once we reach the other side of Ferry, it was breath taking looking at the skyscraper displayed right before your eye like a poster painting so near to the sea water. Huge and tall building with all sort of shapes and colors welcoming you to Hong Kong. It was magnificent view to me as I never had such a close encounter with tall and huge building in rows near to the sea water.

Anxious Love

2011-04-30T01:42:00.002+08:00

Can I really fall in love with you?
Why do I feel so anxious?
I 've never felt this way before.You must be special.

I do not fear love,even if separation will come soon.
However, I do not want this love,b'cos I will keep on yearninig for more.
Like water freely flowing in the stream,I will entrust my heart to you.
As each day passes,I'll find something that needs to be thrown away one at a time.

If I have you by my side,
if I think abt you,i
f I love you,
you seem like a person that won't stay long.

If I let you go,
if I leave you,
you seem like a person that will love me more.
Anxious love.

Therefore, I will hold onto this love.

Being Lazy

2010-10-27T13:38:00.004+08:00

Just being lazy as my title of the day after 3 long months of absent from my blog! It's always good and previlage to be able to work from home, but it has been a habit of creepy laziness haunting me everyday. Sound bad? It suppose to be heaven to everyone out there but too much of previlage leads to laziness as a whole. Hmmm...

Now my brain has channel my though to think abt this word "initiative", this makes me smile in a cynical way. You must be wondering why? Let me tell you, for the pass 6 mths I have colleagues resigning and the boss said headcount freeze. What is that suppose to mean?? Headcount freeze, should one be happy or sad?? You all out there let me know, k cause my brain is abt to freeze out too.

Happy - learn new things and suffer for the next few months until the headcount unfreeze.

Sad - pau ka leow (1 leg kicking) .... short and simple!

Everyone around me has starts looking for jobs, even the managers! This makes me freaking out, now you all know why laziness creep out of me. This is pure unmotivation to contribute to the organisation that has been feeding me with cash to survive this harsh society of unbalance life!

I think, I sound too nutty to continue before I start to rip off this blog with my virtual thought and stain my blog with uncivilize vocabulary.

Have a nice day all.... continue sleeping on my job... keke!!!!

Car Bang!

2010-07-27T01:00:00.007+08:00

I would say yesterday evening as now is 12.59am as I'm unable to sleep. I was on the way to my piano class as I was about to turn to Wangsa Maju my car has been hit by another car. Its a student from UIAM. My front and behind passenger door has been dented. I'm very upset now as I need the car for work on Wednesday night for my presentation/training to US user. I needed the car to bring myself to the office as last week it was cancel due to unable to dial in, thanks to Maxis phone line...

I wonder how many misfortune will I have to go throught this year. This has not been smooth for me ever since after CNY. My granny has pass away on Sunday 30th May 2010 around 7am and only my maid saw her breathe the last breathe. I was in Kuching holidaying, can you believe it. Oh yeah... I flew back on the last day of the wake, and manage to see her for the last time in the coffin before the burial the next day. When I reach its consider the last day of the wake, thanks to Air Asia fantastic flight, which is only 1 night flight from Kuching to Penang. Nothing seem to be favoring me since I landed there on Thursday night.

And last evening about 6.30pm my car was bang. I'm wondering if the student able to pay me, or shall I make police report to claim her insurance? I'm still thinking, I don't like to involve the police as they enjoy making side income. What I'm going to do today is drive my car to the auto shop, get the quotation if the person is around. Call the gal or sms the gal if she is having class and ask her if she able to come out with that money else I need to make police report within 24 hrs to claim from her insurance. I'm I too harsh on the student? If worst come to worst, I just have to bear with the car payment. My yearly donation... *sigh* I believe in karma...

I hate writing police report, its a hassle. Need to write in BM pula... ish! Argh!!!!

God, has pity on me and the gal. My life is rather dull lately but money is not an option to waste unnecessarily. Everybody thinks I earn alot but here leaving alone cost more then leaving with my parents. Work salary, no increament after working more then 1 year. Boss say patient, colleague resigning one after another. I feel lost again. Go back home, is an option but not a advisable one. *taking a deep breathe*

Glad that this blog helps me to express myself else I'm going nuts with thoughts wondering in my mind. Can I sleep now? But I'm not sleepy yet, soon I will be falling asleep in office again...

Should I make police report? Else I have to bear all the payment!!!! I feel stupid when comes to deal with all this stuff... I need someone to support me, I feel weak.... tired and hopeless at the same time.... :'(

Mentally unhappy.... depression??? I don't know... seow ki leow...

Too many words to say

2010-04-25T03:26:00.003+08:00

Its 3.30am now...too many things in my mind now. I do not know how what to blog. I keep on thinking and flashback abt what happen yesterday but there are too many things happen everyday. I hope to blog happy things like today....I went to shabu-shabu in Kepong.

Yum Yum!! Getting fat looking for food to feel happy.

Dinner in McD

2010-04-14T19:08:00.003+08:00

Sitting here in Mc D eating my favorite value set meal "fillet O fish" with sunday chocolate. Satisfying... for my dinner. Sitting besides a table full of noisy teenagers... reminds me of myself when I'm at their age. Care free don't have to worry ab0ut money and just waste time doing nothing but study. It was a fun dinner for them aside to myself sitting here alone enjoying my own dinner of value meal.

I finally mange to find another new room which will save me at least Rm100 permth. Bigger room with cheaper rent, Y not... My current hsemate yet to reply me, I guess he has to find a new housemate...hmm, forgot to take my value meal picture...haha!!

I never thought that I would end up in Mc D having my dinner. I'm basically broke, empty until end of the week and next... weeee.... wanted to on diet but keep on eating non stop.
Kind of bore doing exercise by myself... thinking of hiking... we shall see... how...haha!!

Don't know what to write anymore, can't think... just don't wan to be in my room cause it very warm. Mc D is air-con...cool... but my laptop batt will only last for another 1 hr or so to the max.

OK-la...I end here...nothing much to update besides same old story... but rather excited to move to a new roooommm soooonnnn... :)

Jia You!!!!

KK...He is the only guy that I ever know so yim chim but its good everything he buys must be value for money!...I told him, we should change sex, he becomes the girl and I become the guy... ahhaha!!!My number 1 principle...if buy don't think, if think don't buy.... keke!! >.<....

It's SATURDAY!!!

2010-04-03T16:27:00.005+08:00

This is the only time I get my full recharge to battle on Monday again. Just wake up to write something here to record moments that we have before he leaves for good. It was fun been around him when he did funny stuff and stupid jokes just to make me laugh.
He showed me his puchase for Mt. KK hike. He is almost ready to go up and this morning he went for training again to build up his stamina and yesterday I just realise that his bod is getting better with visible muscle line build up. Drolly for me...haha!!! Cuci mata... haha...
We had chicken wing and cornetto ice-cream ( choco strawberry cheese flavor), it is sourish with the strawberry in the middle and no taste of cheese at all. It is such a disappointment with the ice-cream. The chicken wing was great!!

Sayang, Oh! sayang...

2010-04-02T00:18:00.004+08:00

I'm talking to him now, he buzz me just now asking me why I'm bitter? He thought that I have problems that bothering me. I told him, there is no problem so no story to tell him. Man are really that blur or just pretending to be caring and blur at the same time. I can't open my mouth to say anything to him. Just let it be, that is only thought I have now.

I'm bitter b'cos, I feel sick sitting alone at Taman Bahagia hawker stall alone eating porridge and drinking a hot Milo. I called but he is still in the restaurant with his friends...
I feel so hopeless when the lady knock the table and split the porridge on me. I was just starting to eat my first spoon of porridge. The milo split into the porridge as well and I was not feeling good as gastic is attacking. I feel vunerable, wanting him to come and rescue me out of the embarrasment but he was not around. I called back telling him abt what happen and went back home to change. Deep down I know he will not be able to make it, that is very usual of him. He is not flexible to changes, no critical thinking for solution but complaint most of the time when things he plan did not happen.

This is how I will be feeling after he leaves KL, alone...

He insist on me telling him abt my problem, I told him to search in the net to read abt my problem and he did! Why other things he don't listen, but he listens to this suggestion and take action. He pasted my Fb quotes on my MSN asking me if this is the blog I'm writing....haha!!
I suddenly feel scare that he will find this blog. Why? Don't I wan him to know abt my thought? I don't really want to be that transperant to him. haha!!! Writing this blog is transperant to the world out there...haha!!!

I told him, GOD's Will to find this blog of mine. Haha!!! I"m so mean...!!! Menz are idiots, women are bitches....haha!!! He is insisting on giving him the blog link to him... why? Is that how he wants to know what I'm feeling now, just like 4 years ago?

Letting him find this blog will end up another more pain and hurt to my heart that currently not feeling anything now. I don't wan to stir up any feeling...
I cried when I feel hopeless...to make myself feel better and move on. Why wan the same man to hurt you twice? He already say to you, don't fall in love with him already.
I'm very sure I'm not in love with him but I just gonna miss him alot...
I'm hurt too many times to feel the pain anymore...

The Day Nearing

2010-03-31T00:17:00.004+08:00

Listening to the Korean song that he send to me from the movie 200 Pound Beauty... the translated lyric is making me realise that my situation is becoming more similar to the song lyric.
We have been spending more time together recently b'cos he needs my help to search stuff for his Mt. KK trip.
There is no reason for us to go out and spend time together anymore so this is one of the good reason. God's will that he is bless with a free trip to Mt. KK creating time for us to spend together.

Waiting for him in Old Town Cafe at Jaya One for almost 2 hrs... is that act of friend or willingness to wait for him? I don't know but if for a friend I still think I will do it as I'm also alone at home doing nothing. (Words of consoling myself for not feeling foolish.) haha!!!

I skip my work to company him from 1 Utama to Sunway Pyramid just to get his stuff for Mt.KK. Worth it? I don't know... some ppl will say foolish. Well love is foolish after all...it makes a person think irrationally too... but I was not in mood to work and wanted to be with him for as much time as possible before he leaves... Why not?

Loneliness makes us do foolish things too...

We had Bangsar mamak last night, it was good as usual. I ordered Apom manis, tosai bawang and nasi lemak. I had limau panas and he had teh halia.... we shared. He pays hahaha....!!! Its always sweet to share.... time to remember... He is leaving next week... @>------

Tosai Bawang, yummy!!!

200 Pound Beauty Lyric

2010-03-29T00:03:00.006+08:00

The music of this song is so beautiful but the translation lyric is so sad... just need to post it up in the blog... sayang, my heart is not beating hard for you, my heart dun feel the pain that you are leaving. Maybe I have been hurt too many times to feel the pain anymore or perhaps I'm still looking forward for you to pop out the question that you will never ask... GOD's Will...

#Tae Yeon#
If I go, if I go closer to you
I wonder what you may think, I can’t drum up the courage

If you go, if you go away from me
It is scary to figure out how to let you go

Perhaps, the reason I only look at you,
like a fool,is for fear that you may turn your face away,
and you and I may drift further apart

Perhaps, the reason I can’t say ‘I love you’, like a fool,
is that I am afraid of the painful sad days of waiting after we meet.
If you come, if you come closer to me
I really don’t know what to do

Perhaps, the reason I only look at you, like a fool,
is for fear that you may turn your face away, and
you and I may drift further apart

Perhaps, the reason I can’t say ‘I love you’, like a fool,
is that I am afraid of the painful sad days of waiting after we meet.

Perhaps, the reason I can’t say ‘I love you’, like a fool,
is that I am afraid of the painful sad days of waiting after we meet.

First thought of the year, 2010

2010-01-17T23:22:00.005+08:00

After 3 years of non-blogging as I turn to conventional way of expressing my thought using pen and papers. I decided to start again...I feel lonely now, very lonely.
I hope this blog will be my companion when I'm feeling lonely. Expressing my thoughts and silly ideas to bitch, to discriminate, to escape the real world and to cheer myself up.

Sound sad, don't you think so? Well that is how I'm feeling now...but then this year the Golden Tiger year, I have a plan...

Last year March 23rd, I started a new job in PJ. New beginning for year 2009 as well and new ppl I meet and new friends that I made. I'm glad that I meet good ppl along the way. Yet I feel empty without him but I try my best to live without him. Do I have a choice? Yes, I do. I may stay back and continue working as a contract worker as Learning Product Engineer and be with him. My mind thinks otherwise, I wanted to come down to KL and have a career for myself. I wanted to move down here for a long time which is 3 years ago. I was so busy struggling to move on and yet I stay on at the same place for 3 years. Its all happen so fast and its going to be a year soon.

At the early stage, I was feeling excited and I guess he is sad. I'm struggling too but my dreams is so much bigger that it covers him up. Its always the wrong time but the right person or the right time but the wrong person. At the end of the day, he gave up as his heart is empty already... I guess it ends here for good. So I have to move on...without him. I tried my best to keep in touch with him but there is no msg, or phone calls so that is it...the end of another short story.

When I'm with you, I feel so much fun, laughter, love and care, understanding and mischieving everyday. You will always here in my heart and memory...I always have a place for everyone that I meet.

Love always,
Mimi

I Feel Stoopid

2006-10-11T06:44:00.000+08:00

I recieved a long email from one of my net friend, asking me to be careful with the online guys. He is a devoted catholic and it was fated that he was to be converted to be a Catholic not a Methodist. He wrote me a long story about his sharing and how he have become a Catholic. It was a heart warming message send to me. HE who we praise and worship create great miracle for us that we did not see it. I'm glad that HE has send me a friend that appreciate and care for me.

I'm flatter by his remark to me as a nice gal and appreciate other but easily hurt by others. Nobody ever take the time to understand me but he did. He read my blog and try to understand me, which NO friend I know ever take the initiative to know me. This make me realise that I have a value and appreciated.

GOD has send me an angel in disguise but I did not realise it. I'm glad and will be more careful in future and more wise. It is ashame that he will not be online again, I will not have my angel talking to me anymore when I'm down. I will have to learn to stand on my own and face the fact that life is complicated with morons.

I will love myself more and pray for the right one to come...don't worry. I will not forget your words of wisdom that you have send to me. ^_^ May good lord be with you always.

I slept around mitnite the previous nite but manage to get up so early b'cos we goingto the Great ocean Road!! Maybe I'm excited and can't sleep well and it also maybe I was sleeping with my mum as well. haha!

It was a long journey, it took us about 6 hrs to reach the 12 Apostle and there are only 8 of them that is still standingas the other 4 was gone with the erosion... ha! We had out breakfast in Mc D which only serve pancakes and bacon, cheeseburger..they don't even have Big Breakfast! It was about 10.30 then...before that we detour to Weeribee Open Zoo.When we reach there is was like around 9.30am and the tour around the Zoo was 10.30am. Nah...decided not to wait sowe continue out journey to the 12 Apostle.

My uncle took the long journey where there are fantastic view of ocean and hills. On the hills there are farm animals such asthe sheeps, cows and horses grazing the grass. It was so green and fresh but once the wind blow, it might blew you off the groundthe air is so cold and piercing. We stop at one of the town for my uncle to take a nap before continue the journey, so we walk to the beachas it is near the park. There are some ppl surfing and the wave is very high as the current was going strong with the windblowing. The sand was so soft and light, while the sea water was clear, fresh and icy cold.brrr....

On the way we pass Anglesea, Appollo Bay and few towns before reaching the Apostle. It was a very long drive and alongthe way we see lotsa farms and a huge field of yellow flowers. It was the best view I ever seen and not to forget thehouses built on the hills. The grass is really green and pleasant to the eyes, it make you want to run around the hillsand enjoy the scenery. On the hill you may see the Antratica Ocean...hehe. Took some photos along the way....

It was about 2.30pm we reach the Apostle and the sky start to drizzle with the wind blowing so hard. My cap was blown away andluckily I manage to grabed it as it stuck on my hair...hahaha. It was so so so cold as the wind was so so so strong!Today, the whole Melbourne is windy and its tempreture was about 24 degree but it felt like below 10.It only took us half hr to see everything but us took almost half the day to reach there.

At about 7.30n we reach Boxhill for dinner, chinese dinner...the food is always good whenever I go out with my aunt and uncle.hehe!! We had all Aussie Chinese food...hahaha, not bad as, Hmmm...let me think, wht did we had...roasted duck, tau fu,weet and sour fish, pork, vegetable and fried sotong, o yeah...damn lot of food!

Day 5 - Queen Victoria Centre and Melbourne City Centre (North and West)

2006-09-20T00:02:00.000+08:00

19 Sept 06

Yep...another day to the city, but this time we are going up the north side of the town. We are travelling to Queen Victoria Market for some shopping for souvenirs. We stop at The Parliment Station and walk to the market and it was a chilling walk the market is huge and categories in alphabets and divided into art section that is the place where all the wood craving,caricature and other souvenir stalls. There are another section of the huge building for fruits and vegetable and there are rolls of shop lots. The entire area are full of market, there are building for frozen food and meats. Hmm... another section of the area is full of shoplots with goodies shops and others.

There are so many shops around that you may walk the entireday for cheap and good stuff. The whole day I was walking looking souvenirs and bough T-shirt, opal, keychains, magnets and not to forget the boomerang.My mum bough strawberries, T-shirt, wallet for my dad and a leather bag - looks nice.I can't seem to stop buying, and there are so many coats and leather jackets...so cheaps!!! but i din buy any cause M'sia is damn hot to wear them...haha.

As we walk to the fruit section it was about 1pm and they are closing by 2pm. All the fruit starts to sell at the cheaper price and the place start to get noisy. When we were out of the market, we saw a group of farm animals in the cage with kids in it. Its so cute with piglet, calf, sheeps, ducks and chicken....and the kids just love them. I took some of the farm animalwalking up and down the small cage that full of kids...haha - more kids then the animal I guess.

After a long walk in the market, which is super huge, we stop in at a food court for lunch. I had a large plate of vegetable lagzane as there is no chicken avail (ever ate a plate of lagzane $8.00). My aunt and mum had chinese food, well a bit regret for not getting the chinesefood. The lagzane sucks as the taste is flat, not tasty at all...too original, as the food is not flavoured. It was a hugeplate as I was full until late at night, I had my dinner at 10pm...cos the chicken for dinner was not cooked yet. Thanksto my ever genius cousin that went to the supermarket for some so frozen chicken that we have to wait for about more thenan hour to get the dish done. As usual it was a good dinner, with fish, chicken and vegetables with giganto prawn. After eating I can feel that my cholestrol just shoot up the sky...I need exercise!!

Every morning, the air is very cool and refreshing but it gives me a numb nose that it bleed every time I blow my nose...toodry. Having this problem just this few days and I slept in the living room for a better rest. Can't seem to sleep with my mum,din get a good nite sleep. Watch DVD with my cousin until 2 am and I start doing some sudoku before going to bed. Tmr will beanother day to Melbourne City...for food tour, kekeke. This cousin of mine only knows abt going to the best food in MelbourneCity...wahahaha.

Day 4 - Melbourne City Centre (South)

2006-09-18T21:34:00.000+08:00

18 Sept 06

Oooo yes...! another day in paradise. Nah it was so cold and windy today...went to Coles/ Ivanhoe Mall to buy some CDs before travelling back to the city for more site seeing. Can't find any and its expensive!! I'm having trouble to tranfer my photos and videos to the computer and sending it to my tumbdrive...its all full, over the storage limits!!! I have no choice but to get some CDs to burn and store my videos and photos....damn!!

Well today, I had travel to Flinder Station again to walk around the city. We started walking to Melbourne Information Centreto get some information to the places that we wanted to go. Vonne was the tour guide today...hehe, she brought me and my mumaround the south part of the city. I bough a bag $2.95 to put my jackets as the weather changes from cold to warm and thencold again.

After the information centre, we were walking towards Federation Square and took some photos of the modern building which lead toArt Exibition Centre. There was exibition of photography, which shows all the photos from the sky view. There is one interestingphotos that shows a group of naked ppl lying down for the photographer. Oooo...hot! haha...my mum was looking at itand heard an old lady said "How did they ever get so many ppl to do that"...hahaha. I think I need to go back and get thatphoto with me stading beside it...haha.

The exibition is near the Yarra River, so we when down to the river side and walk along the river to go to Crown Hotel. Alongthe way we reach Southgate that is at the opposite of the river. Near the river we can take the River Cruise around MelbourneCity. There is a lot of sculpture at the Southgate and uniquely modern art and weird looking art along the way to CrownHotel. Me and my mum went into the casino and look around, din get the chance to play. Advise, never go into casion with your mumif you want to try your luck. It will never happen, I cant even get a dollar of jackpot run in the machine...damn! My cousin did not go in as she forget her IC....you have to be 18 to go into the casino. The place is huge and my legache after walking up and down the casino and you can get lost there. There is so many entrance and not to mentionrestaurant and the best food in there...hehe.

Next we went down to Southgate building to have some food...bough pancakes ($7.80) and my mum had fried rice. I shared the pancake with Vonne and she had fries from Nando's...hai... The whole stretch of Southgate is full of artistic scluptureand full of human beings walking up and down the wide pavement. Saw a huge rose made of steel on the flower and stone at the root... wonder wht it suppose to mean. So down the street we walk to St. Kilda Street looking for Queen Victoria Garden...but before we reach the garden, wefound another garden named Alexander Garden and there was a huge star flower bed. Beautifully done!

The Queen Victoria Garden was at the opposite site and we had to walk a long way down to the traffic light just to go overthe other side. This is tiring....but its worthy! There was a man make waterfall, not big but nice and natural in a big pond.The flowers are beautiful...never see such a beautiful flower bed not one but along the walk way in the park. It was refreshingday for me...haha. Flowers and more flowers...

My mum call it a day as her leg is sow from walking...tell me about it..we walk the whole South Melbourne City!! Hahaha...humurous. We reach home about 6 something and as usual...watch some TV and at 7.30pm there is Australia Idol result.Hmm...playing with my little cousin, well he is 19 years younger then me...imagine me fooling around with a kiddo playing tickle, I would have just squashed him...hahaha but love him dearly. Its pass midnite now...wht I really like best is myaunt cooking...I had steam Osyter for dinner...yummy!!! Well life is good here especially when you have good food everyday.

Day 3 - Springvale and Chinatown

2006-09-18T21:26:00.000+08:00

17 Sept 06

As the day goes by I slept later and woke up later as well...today it was abt 10pm! No worries cause we are going out later about almost 3pm to meet my cousin in Springvale. Before that, we when to Coles/Ivanhoe Mall to get some chocolates, my mum bough 10 boxes of Tim Tam, tell me about it men!! I bough not much around 5 packets of chocolates and some muffins for brunch...hehe.

My first ride on the train from Ivanhoe to Flinder Station the city loop where all the train will stop there and passenger will change route or train. It really a loop...a huge one too as seen in the map.

The journey was abt 1 hour to reach Springvale from Ivanhoe but we din take that long to wait for the train. Springvale is another suburd that full with Vietnamese ppl and the market is full of them doing business of all trade. My aunt, mum and I was travelling there and had to walk to the market...a huge one and non smelly as in Malaysia...cause it is a dry market selling fruits and grocery stuff like dry spicies and sos. The name ofthe place is Springvale Market Centre, if I'm not wrong...hehe.

While waiting for my cousin (Vonne) to finish her tuition at 5pm, my aunt and mum went to look for some fruits. Then my muwas hungry, so need to look for some food. We were in the market food court and my mum was eating fish and chips, and I ordered a milkshake... learn my lesson well, its suck big time. It was like buying a chocolate milk and shake it...damn, like kena con already, its $3 dollar...!!!stoopid betul but the fish and chips is good. While my mum eating her food I was walking around the market looking for scarf and I found one...brown with white line, is $8 dollar including a hat.

At about 5pm, my cousin reach the market place and we left Springvale to go to Chinatown for dinner. We took the train and stop at The Parliment station, while walking to Chinatown, I took the Parliment house photo as it was just opposite thestation. While walking down the Chinatown road, it start to rain...gosh! It was a long walk before reaching the chinese restaurant and it is in one of the small dark road. The name of the place is Camy Dumpling Restaurant...servingall sort of dumpling from fry to soup...it was o.k to me. The pumpkin cake was fab...we ordered 2 plates as it was tastyand good. The dumpling was not bad as well but it was so big bowl that 6 of us shared 2 bowls of soup dumpling and 1 frieddumpling. O... yes my other 2 cousins came and join us after that in the restaurant, Tjun and Xuen.

After a scrumptious meal, we walk back to Melbourne Central train station and the State Library was there. It looks almost the same as The Parliment and it confuse me, it was at nite then....on the way to the station we stop by Trampoline for ice-cream - gelato... yummy!!! It was cold and we had ice-cream, good leh....^_^ then we reach the station and waited for the big Seiko watch to reach 8pm as it will have performance... 2 kids statue will play trumpet with some brids moving left and right...haha!!I dun know what song was it but I did a video on it....hehe...a short video. While waiting for me there was a tall tower in front of me...Its called the Tower Museum, the building is shone by spotlight with different colors and design, it was awesome I took few photo of it...will get it load here..

The train reach the station after a short wait and all of us when home...it was 8.30pm in Ivanhoe. Another day pass for me before going back home to face my work and uncertainty of my life. Yawn....

Day 2 - Boxhill and Phillip Island

2006-09-18T21:21:00.000+08:00

16 Sept 06

The sun was shining into my room, it was not cold but warm ray of sunshine...it wakes me up but its still early. About 9am, my aunt and uncle wanted to go to Boxhill to get some health food for their friend. Some vitamins and so on....So first day, of course want to follow...to see as much as possible the lifesytle and ppl of Melbourne. Boxhill is another suburd that stay by majoriy Vietnamese that speak Australian accent...canggih!

At 9.30am, we left the house and on the way there. The first market I visited...it was like supermarket in Malaysia but here they call it market, there are pork, beef and etc....its like whatever u see in M'sia market. The only different iscleaner, less smell of fresh meat and super modern...just like TESCO the hypermarket. This is different as the bakery and other stuff is in one roof...love the chocolates shop there, yummy! The liquor shop isjust like the grocery shop...go in and get one any time!

One thing that I notice is, everywhere i go there are plenty of churches around in those century old architectual but I saw one that used it to sell pancake...hahaha After that, we when to a Vietnamese shop to have Chicken Noodle and Prawn Paper Rice, Viet style and famous for it. The bowl was so big...lotsa chicken. The noodle came, then they serve the taugeh and mint leave in a different plate, wht I have to do is mixed it with the noodle...not bad, love it! Not to forget the sambal...ooo mouth watering. Yah!

After lunch...about 2.30pm, we start our journey to Phillip Island....its about 2 hrs drive from Ivanhoe. Well my uncle drive like a F1 driver, so along the way i took some pictures in the car and get some video recorded.It was beautiful sight, with the hill on the left and sea on the right....as the sun slowly setting. It was perfect scenery to take some photos for my rememberance. ^_^

We reach the place around 5pm but the sun was still up and bright, before that we stopped at Grantville, it was a beautiful place facing the sea. It was dry and stoney, that makes it unique and took some photos there too. It was a short stop before we leave for the Penguin Parade. We had an early dinner at Cowes before we actually reach the penguin place, had Charcoal Chicken with chips and Pasta (macoroni with tomato sos mixed) - not very tasty...haha not to forget the apple juiceit was good and I'm full.

At 6pm, we all reach the Penguin Parade entrance...it was cool (less then 10 degree C) and dry. My aunt brought extra jacket for each of us and blankets.Thank goodness that she brought extra, not that I did not bring extra jacket but it was not enough!! Sitting facing thebeach waiting for the penguin to walk out of the sea water was freezing. Brrrr..... +,+

As the sun setting...the sky begin to turn dark, then I saw one tiny little creature looks as tall as 33cm at the shore trying toget up from the sea to its nest at the land. Before we reach the beach, we walk pass the nest and it was like holes on the small hills...^_^ it was pretty cute. After that a bunch of them came up and then another and another tiny totty walking upto the beach into there nest. Then we leave the beach to watch them on the land and where they go for their nest. These penguins will stay in the nest for about 3 - 4 days before returning to the land as they need to make babies...ya mating!if not how to increase population...ah! They are the smallest penguin in the world!! Actually from far they looks black and white but actual fact its, they are dark blue. I went super near to one of the penguin and saw it super clear as their fins wassuper small and their feet was super short that makes them walk clumsily. These penguin are not that friendly thou even theylook cute and chubby, they bites!!! Munch!

As usual after the watch, souvenier time...bough lotsa penguins and a soft doll for myself...hahaha

We had a late dinner, the restaurant do now wan to serve us anymore....a chinese restauran in the middle of noway..haha so "ta pau" home. It was good....another day over another nite comes and go. Time flies and I wrote pretty load here tonite cause visiting the penguin is my best time ever ... & it is freezing and wore so much clothes...look like refugee only!! haha!

Damn! can't a gal get some sleep but I was up and getting ready to the airport to catch my 8am flight. Ya! 8am flight...well I stay abt 1 hr from the airport and need to check in early in case the stoopid airport is pack with human beings.

8 a.m - MH1139....well the plane left the airport and moving toward KL...yep KL not Melbourne, We got to transit at KLIA as the plane landed in KLIA at platform A...dun remember the number and we are suppose to get to the next plane at C26 platform.It was like one end to another...holy cow, my mum bags was heavy and we walk from the right side of the building to the other endand took the transit train to platform C26. I'll never forget that....rushing like mad as we need to check in at 9.15 am and wereach the KL airport at 9.45am and my mum need breakfast!....#$%^ It seem like I keep complaining, cause never prepare for so many surprises along the way, neway...we make it to Melbourne safely. Not to mention I lost 2 hrs of my life when i reach there, yup the time is 2 hrs faster....it was around 5pm in M'sia and 7 pm when we reach Melbourne.

It din really take us long to get off the airport as the bag service was fast and then came the quanrantine detector...hahaits a dog...it so cute!!! I wanted to pat it....but it was bz sniffing bags, make sure that he din scratch on your bag or you be in trouble....hahaha. Oooo... before that, we got to get our passport cop by the custom officer and get the bag check at the station. Then we are done and out of the airport...my aunt and uncle was waiting at the arrival door.

It was 10 degree Celcius!! It was cool but its still give me the chills. My uncle drove us with his TOYOTA CAMRY and we were on the way home to IVANHOE. It is another suburd of Melbourne...nice place and quiet neighbourhood. The house is near a tennis court and lawn ball court. English ppl just love flowers and on the pathway the flower grows wildly and its beautiful...now is just the beginning of Spring, not much flowers.

The Letter of My Thought...

2006-06-20T17:45:00.000+08:00

Dear SO and so,

How are you? It have been kind of long that I did not pen down any words in this space. The virtual memory space for human being like you and me to put down their thoughts and feelings of happiness and sadness.Today is the eve of my birth, it seem to bring back a lot of memory from happy to sad. I willnever forget the day that we go our seperate ways for good.

Life have been very bz for me, not remembering anything as it pass so quickly. I have no moment of peace and quiet as it used to be but a bundle of worry each day, making meold and tired. Change is so much critical in my life that I, myself cannot adapt to it.Pretending to be able to accept it and pretending to be able to enjoy it. It is fake,very fake, so fake that I do not recognise my own self. Have I lost my identity? Have I lost my self principle? What have I done to myself? Where is my soul? Who am I?I hardly recognise the face in the mirror....each morning looking at it as it is a stranger staring at me.

I lost my words to describe, I lost myself into the cruelity of society. Wht have I done?Is it wrong to love someone? Is it wrong to earn extra? Is it wrong to have a better life?Is it wrong to help others? Is it wrong to be happy? Is wrong to love money? Is it wrong...I'm speechless....I'm not happy. WHY??!!

Where are you when I needed you? Where are you? I'm down, sad and depress. The you came, you giveme hope, a little light not much but little. Enough to make me smile and feel appreciated and needed.To feel that I still need to be here continue living for a cause. You make me feel there are still hope,love and belonging. Thank you, thank you for letting me feels this way. It's not easy but I'm tryingto enjoy the attention and care you gave to me.

For a moment you were gone, then you are back when I think of you. Is it great!! The power of thought is almightypowerful. The wave length and frequency of the brain create miracle and unexpected.Seeing a glimpes of you is like a light years of stare, fading....slowly the light went dim, dim...dark.

Mimi

Abseiling and Water Rafting

2006-03-09T21:21:00.000+08:00

I still can’t believe that I have managed to abseil down the mini hill and the waterfall. I have phobia for height but I did it!! Maybe nobody notice that my right hand was shaking even thou I keep the cool… ^_^

On the 11 Feb 06, at around 7.30pm we start our journey to Ipoh after gather at Greenlane McD. When we reach Juru, I have to change car before continue our journey.
It was about 11pm when we reach Ipoh to overnite at Roger’s house. Right after that we went for supper….White Chicken Bean Sprout Rice “Nga Choi Kai”…^_^ . Actually there are more then just chicken we ordered, we had chicken leg, fish ball soup, super size bean sprout and of course the white chicken.

After supper, nobody seem to be able to sleep as most of us are full..so we play some card game. Guess wht we play?? Luisa fav card game…anytime, anywhere..hahaha.
Well finally after midnite, everyone settle down and sleep….heard the next morning there was an orchestra playing in the middle of the nite…hahahaha. Just imagine 15 ppl sleeping in a double storey house. Most of us slept in the living room,…look like ikan kering sedang jemur…
:-D

At abt 7.00am the next morning, everyone was up and getting ready for the exciting activities that we are going to have. First time, we manage to get to Gopeng early and on time. We met the guide, Zach and Amy (a guy) before going into the village. In order for all of us to go to the abseil site, we had to take a ride on a lorry….pretty awesome ride.
When we reach the ground of the hill, all of us need to prepare and get ready for the abseil. Before we can do that, we got to hike up the hill….it was tiring even before I manage to abseil….whew!!

It was amazing, no vocab in the dictionary can express my experience and feeling coming down the waterfall (try not to get near to the water). The water was freezing and it is cold to the bone. Not to forget it was slippery as I slip and swing to the left before manage to reach the ground….but it was fantastic.

After everyone comes down from the waterfall, we had a short lunch. Nasi bungkus…chicken, friend egg and vege. It taste so good cause all of us was so hungry and anything just tasted delicious! Then we travel down to the water rafting starting point, where we have confident test. Testing the water…..just lie on your back and of course with a life jacket floating down the river following the current. I hit my butt...ouch!

Soon after that we start our crusade to conquer the 7km journey of Sg. Kampar!! hehe!
We were split into 3 boats, 2 small and 1 big raft. If was a rough ride down the river but tiring as my raft keep on stoping b’cos of the rocks. The water was swallow and the raft was big, it still have space for more ppl even thou there are 8 of us. 2 guides are in the raft, Zach and Hilmi; there was Winson, Jason, Bernard, Raymond, Chong and I..:-)
Well, half way thru I fell into the river as the raft was stuck to the rock, move to front, back, left , right and too right and I fell pulling along Raymond with me…wahahaha!!!. Bernard and Chong fell too, but not sure how they do it……:-P

The other 2 small raft, 1 of it was fill with all girls rower with Luisa, Min Min, Angelene and Winson’s sister (sorry forget the name). No doubt, the scream of the girls can be heard in the distance….hahahaha…..I can hear them shouting and screaming but never seem to see the raft arriving…..ahahaha :-D but I’m sure they had a superb ride and an awesome guide Amy. In the other raft was Gabriel, Choy Mei, Lay and Soo Beng…..at one point they had to abandon raft…..hahaha…. as it was stuck to the rock and difficult to move the raft. Cool!! They survive….

Finally we reach the end of the journey…..so give yourself a pat on the back! Hip, hip Horray!! Unbelievable…it would be more challenging during Dec….that is wht the guide said..hehe. Want to do it again???…I mean the water rafting…^_^

At the end of the day, finally reaching Penang…we make a detour to Batu Kawan for seafood. A toast to all to an amazing start of New Year and may more great things happen in this year 2006!!!!

Sunset is Beautiful

2006-02-06T15:26:00.000+08:00

These pictures are take on the 30th Jan 2006.

As I was sitting on the beach patiently waiting for the sun to set, this is some of the snapshot that I took. The sun raise and set everyday without fail. Painting the horizon with its bright ray, slowly disappear behind the hills and hiding from the sea. The sky that was so bright begin to dim, little twinkle start appearing. Birds begin to return to their young and children ready to go home. As the sun setting the sky turns dark and silent of the night begin making me feel chills as the wind blows towards my face. Silent....

Paddy...paddy and more paddy

2006-01-03T12:28:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year!!!!! Guest what? I was in Kota Sarang Semut sort of stay late into the nite to welcome year 2006 while watching LOTR and counting the hours. I have never see so much paddy and of course the paddy field in my entrie life. You see, I stay near the beach not on wet land like the paddy field.

Going up Gunung Jerai was so cooling, as the van brough us up and up the cool air blowing on my face start to freeze, so is my facial muscle. =.="
It was like going up Cameron Highland but a little smaller version of it. High on the gunung, looking down from it...yellow patches everywhere down below. Some are retangular and some are oblong in shape. They are the paddy field..it is the most unbelievable sight and surprisingly awesome from the top of the gunung. One word...WOW!!! Its breath taking and so colling up on the gunung then its' started to rain..%^&*

From a far, we saw an island name Pulau Bunting, there is a bridge connected to the island from the mainland. Currently there is no way to go there with our cars except that you need to walk on the bridge for an 1 hr to reach there...boat or just swim accross - la...hahaha. That place is good for fishing. O.k all fishing lover....new place to fish.

The day end with the last visit to the Kedah Museum...just imagine some maniquin dress in tradisional costume and dead animal been display and not to forget the artificial artifact and so on. All of us reach Pg around 6.30 pm by bus and I have a good sleep...a very good one..hehehe.
Hope all of you have a very happy new year. ^-^

Can't Smile Without You...

2005-12-19T14:30:00.000+08:00

Click on the title to get the song....

This is one of my fav song that makes me smile without fail everytime I hear the tune..la.la.la

You know I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh and
I can't sing,
I'm finding it hard to do anything.

You see,
I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm going through,
I just Can't Smile Without You.

You came along just like a song and brightened my day,
Who'd've believe that you were part of a dream,
Now it all seems light years away.

And now you know I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm finding it hard to do anything.....

Starwalk 2005......10km

2005-12-11T21:26:00.000+08:00

Hi, people of the earth...walking for 10km within 1 and 1/2 hrs really makes me appreciate all the vehicle creation. I cannot imagine that I really finished walking for 10km.. and the worst part is yet to come is my hamstring is in pain. Not sure what is the next pain experience to occur tomorrow morning when I'm awake. Pain is not pleasure but to some sadist they are...I wonder what they have in their mind.

All my sore was cure by just admiring the beautiful sight of a person that sing like an angel and plays the music like an expert (born to make music). hai..... can't concenrate on my singing, too much. I'm scare my mouth may drool and drops of liquid will wet the floor. Standing in front of me conducting and giving intruction to perfect the singing is superb.

The first practise was a bit too serious and he looks like "you better do it right" kind of look. It's scares me. Young and talented. I wish I know what I'm really good at but I don't know what talent I have...maybe none. Hai....some ppl are so gived. I'm so tired and I despreately need rest and lotsa rest. Adios!!!

4 Hours Standing....

2005-12-10T21:05:00.000+08:00

My legs hurt, my back is in pain and I'm feeling like gonna break into 2. Loosing my voice slowly and hopefully still have my voice on the day of carolling. It's going to be 3 days all together spreading joy of Christmas. Wow! can't imagine me singing the carols after so many year, I think almost 4 years since I left for college. It's kind of difficult to sing soprano key for me, loosing my sweet voice as I grow old, that is bad. Anyway, I still can manage to hit certain key of the song...not that bad-la. Hopefully nobody gonna have goose bum when I hit the high note...haha..

It's kind of hard to find guys that play the guitar and sing like angels. There is one in the carolling group, conducting for cantata as well. Enjoy listening to him sing, I wonder where have all this guys gone to. Maybe in church or have become a brother....haha, just kidding no offend. Well at first I thougth he was gay, cos he has a girls' name and he really make a good immitation of a girls' voice...hahaha. Not bad looking as well. Sorry no picture, come back home & get it from me if you wanna have a look of his face....if I manage to get a pic of him...wahaahaha.

Christmas Carol

2005-12-06T11:08:00.000+08:00

Well another day have past...what have you all been doing. Christmas is just around the corner, I'm in the swing to sing christmas carol. I've joined a carolling group this year, well it make up of my friends and some from the church (OLS). It was quite a turn out yesterday, unexpected and I'm happy to meet them there. It's more like a reunion rather than just gather and sing some christmas song.
The practice was going very well and some slight goose bums along the way...haha. It was a good practice to refresh our memory about which part suppose to sing by the guys or the gals. All this practicing give me some flashback when I was much younger....much much younger..hai.... years younger. This is making others think that I'm that old now, well I'm getting old everyday can't deny it.
Oh yes, there will be a christmas crepe every year displayed in front of the church. The cantata, a short performance by the chinese and english youth before the christmas mass. Will be meeting up my friends to get the crepe done. Kind of tired to travel up and down after work and help up but I enjoy doing it. Should decide to become an artist then an IT engineer. hahaha!!!

@-->--- Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

Don't you just love sitting at the beach admiring the sunset. Well not everyone is that lucky as I am cause the picture shows the beautiful sunset in front of my house. ^_^
Isn't it romantic sitting down with your love one appreciating such a beautiful sight. Spending sometime with your love one is the best memory that will last for a lifetime.

Today is just another day that my office application is down or not functioning. So here I am sitting down staring at the square screen typing this piece of post. Don't you just love it when you don't have to work and laze around while waiting for it to get fixed. Well that is just a temporary happiness, work will come in abundance once the system is up. Short live happiness~ @.@
Just as the saying goes "Life is short, enjoy it!", I'm going for my breakfast now.......
