Welcome 2007!!!

Two more days before year 2007. What is your new year resolution then? I guess my new year resolution shall be based on what I've done for the year 2006. So, what have done for the whole year of 2006?? Let's retrospect on life at year 2006!!!

1st Half - Life was in a downcast due to bad rumous about me & someone who I thought I can trust has betrayed me. Henceforth, I learned from that inccident. Nobody can be trusted except yourself. 经一事，长一智. However, I accepted it as challenge of life.

2nd Half- Stew & I really gone thru hard time at the first half of year 2006. After think twice, decided to step into another level of life by agreeing his proposal. I started to prepare myself for the wedding, for the role as a wife, as a mother. I really hope i can cope with the changes soon.

Hmmm....so, I guess my new year resolution should be... to own a 'home' for myself!!

Wishing you all a very 'HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007'.....

Drizzling Lunch

It has been raining and drizzling for the weeks. Lots of the dirty clothes cumulated inside my laundry basket and those has been washed two days ago still hitched on the hanger. Some has even emanated with that bad smell. Can you imagine how worst is the weather now??? Guess....I'll need to send all these clothes for laundry again.

As usual, it still drizzling the whole day. However, Stew brought me out for an appointments. We ended up to have our lunch at a Café located at Skudai. We both do prefer to enjoy our lunch or dinner at this kind of restaurant so that we can relaxe ourself by sitting there for couple of hours.....

Kuala Lumpur's Night View

I grew up at Kuala Lumpur and yet I didn’t realized that KL does have such a great night view. Shame of myself.....

The photos were taken from KLCC commercial office. Nice???

Christmas Gift

Merry Christmas ….!!!

Guess most of you already got your lovely Christmas from Mr Santa, rite?? Ya, ya, ya….I received my Christmas gift from Stew on the Christmas day. It’s a ‘Tri-Angle’ that bring good luck….!! Hopefully, she will really bring me ‘good luck’ for the coming year!!
Hahaha……………!!!

Souvenir from Disneyland, Tokyo

The Mickey couple (Minnie as well) is my most favourite cartoon character @ Disney. And therefore, my best friend bought me some cutie Mickey toys & accessories for my souvenir from Disneyland, Tokyo during her recent visit to Japan.

She bought me a pair of handphone accessories with Mickey & Minnie and also a cute Christmas card with Kitty Cat. The most surprising gift was a pair of Mickey & Minnie in wedding costume with holding frame (I can put my photo on it). OMG, I can’t believe that she really bought that for me…… (as told by her earlier, that she couldn’t find the Mickey in wedding theme). Although it’s for my birthday gift & not my wedding gift, yet I was so happy.

Thanks for the souvenir, CP & Kowa for the birthday gift!!!

Chritmas Joy...

3 days to go before the Christmas. By having Christmas decoration everywhere, Christmas song around your ear, Christmas gift sold at every shopping mall and of course Chritmas wishes from everyone who cares really makes me so excited about this wonderful season.

Apparently I'm waiting for a Christmas gift from my Mr Santa, Stew. He used to do so for my Christmas celebration and that is why I love Christmas very much!! Hahaha....

Christmas is always the warmest festive to me. I received a nice Christmas wishes from a friend who I hardly contact. Here is the wishes that impressed me ...

Thanks for the lovely wish.....

Cowboy Steak House

I hardly go for western food recently especially for my dinner (as I'm trying to slim down my body figure before Pre-wedding Shooting).

Stew brought me to a steak house nearby where we stay. I thought to order for a lobster at the beginning, however it has run out of stock. So, I've ordered for a Crispy Honey Chicken with mushroom soup for myself. It wasn't tasted good excepted for the mushroom soup. I love to have a hot, hot soup during raining season.......

Consequences of heavy rain

It has been raining ever since I arrived at Johor last Sunday. Never thought it would rain continuely for a few days & caused the flood at major town in Johor. As I read thru the newspaper this morning, serious traffic problem at every route toward town really caused irritation to everyone in Johor. I felt so sympathy for the victims who suffered from this nature disaster.

Sis called me and asked about my condition at Johor this morning. Thanks god , I am in the zone that free from the flood...However, Stew & I hardly go out for dinner to the restaurants located far from where we are staying now. As to avoid from the bad traffic during this raining season.

Hopefully, everything will be better soon...

My first day...

The first thing in my mind when I woke up the next morning was to look at myself in front of mirror. OMY, I was so terribly emaciation after having insomnia for a night.

I’m not a person who can adapt to new environment ‘flexibly’ especially to new mattress (Stew purposely bought me a king size mattress). So kind of him but yet I still can’t have a good sleep. No matter how tired I am on the day, I still have to work. Work is work, Stew tried to provide me with information on the plating process (the company is dealing in plating line) & I’ll have to pick up as much as I can.

Anywhere, everything seems to be so far so good after all.

A shoulder to cry for…

While I was doing the packing yesterday, I found my photo album. It was the photo taken during my college time at TARC. Life at TARC was so fun & happier at the beginning. However, it became my ‘hell’ when I broke-up with Mr Ex. I cried & cried almost everyday. My life was so miserable & hopeless at that time. Thanks god.... a close friend who willing to lend his shoulder for me to cry for…. After so many years, then only I recalled that I’d owed him a ‘Thank You’!

Thanks a lot, guy!!!

An Ending meant for a good beginning …

After so many years of working as Secretary, I started to realize that ‘good boss is hard to find’. My current boss treated me not bad & I thought it will be my last company to be worked with. However, not everything goes as you planned. Due to the company’s new office location & recent financial situation, I know I should quit. So, I’ve got no choice but to tender my resignation finally & last Friday was my last working day.

I will be starting my new life with Stew at JB very soon. Stew offered me a vacancy to be his assistant at his company (actually to help him up in his career). I don’t know how much I can help & how good is the offer (as told by my sis that it’s hard for a couple to work together, arguments will always be the major issue) but I do know that is a good reason for us to be together again. So, I’m preparing myself now by packing up my stuff i.e. clothes, cosmetics, accessories etc toward the new ‘topic’ of my life…

Wish me then....

New Office@Dataran Prima (Part II)

As understand from the HR, we will be officially shifted to new office effectively from 1 December 2006. That means we will have to work at the environment whereby no 'Internet' available. No more MSN Messenger, No more emailing, No more blog updating... Even the phone line also not available at the moment. I wonder how are we going to work in this kind of working environment....

I went to new office yesterday afternoon & I can't imagine that the interior designed were yet remain the same (thought they have done with some changes in the partition). My so called 'desk' (smaller desk) stil located at that corner. "Poor little Debbie, gotta sit alone at that corner!!!"

I'm kinda pissed off with that 'PIC' in arranging this. However, no matter how much i don't like about my new sitting place, yet I stil have to accept it.

A day of Packing...

Again, I've got a notice that is to do my packing for only the concerned files (as no enough space to keep all my files). For the whole day i've been clearing my drawers & cabinets, packing up those necessity files into boxes, rushing on the letter for the change of new business address & etc. As til today, i've done my packing up to 80% & 20% are the pending stuff like stationery; 0% done for my two bosses room. OMG....how am I gonna do it alone? i'll be breakdown very soon!!!

I'm not sure how soon we will be shifted to new office but i guess it will be very, very soon & to be frankly, I don't feel like going to new office. Too far away from where im staying whereby I've already get use with so near now!!

Another day with tiredness ...

ConQuest Of Time@KLCC

Stew back to KL last weekend & we both went to an exhibition of branded SWISS watch at KLCC. I actually got the invitation from Maxis One Club. Wow.... lots of nice watch were exhibited there! If not mistaken, there are 13 brands were participated in this exhibition. But I only manage to recognise a few brands like Tag Hueuer, Piaget, Omega, Patik Philippe & Mont Blanc. I am really attracted by those luxurious watches. Unfortunately, it only belongs to rich people....not poor people like me!!!

I've falling in love with this watch....NIce isn't??

A surprising call...

Got a call from Stew yesterday telling me a good news (to him) while i was so busy in picking up works from the Company Secretary (it was her last day of working). As tomorrow will be our BOD & AC Meeting, lots of pending matters need to be done within the day. And Stew's good news was asking me to join his company. He sounds like wanted me to quit my job without giving a month notice. I feel kinda funny of his action...

I can feel how excited Stew was about this offer & i know the reason of why. It alway not an easy matter for a loving couple to live apart from each other. I do miss him all the time & I know he miss me too. It's a life path that you need to choose on...to have a good future or to stay together for an ordinary life?

I supposed it is a good chance for both of us coz no matter how, i'll have to move to Johor after married. It just a matter of time. By working at the same company, we manage see each other almost everyday. The worst is, arguments about the work will definitely happen between us as Stew & I always have different point of views in most circumstances. This is what i ever concerned.

Life is always full of dilemma!!! Consequences of every action/decision making will make a big chances in life...

Wednesday's Leisure...

It has been long time i din't go for movie. Since Stew has been working so far away from me, I hardly go for movie especially on week days. So, I went for a movie with my colleague @ GSC, 1U last nite (cheapest rate for the movie on every Wednesday). I dunno what caused me to do so. Perhap im kinda boring with my current life of being work, work, work!! I need a fresh air to breathe deeply. Guess a movie is good enough to relax my body & mind though...

I have no idea about the story of that movie (STEP UP) at the beginning. To what i know that is something about dancing. Well, it's a good movie afterall.

Blog Break...

I've been really busy with my office works recently. And that's i have no choice but to work til 7-8pm, almost everyday. From morning 8am til around 8pm really caused me exhausted.

The Company Secretary is leaving soon & she is handing over all company documentations to me. I am kinda worried & depressed about my incapability in handling all legal matters especially at this critical period (Yes, I made a mistake earlier that caused quite serious issued to the company). Drafting letter to the authorities, appointment arrangement for boss, filing, responsible for admin & etc are the jobs that never ends at the ends of the day. Works is piling up.... i really need more time to concentrate on my works now.

So, I'll be on short blog break and see you all again if i'll have 'a little bit of ' free time to update my blog!!!

Fullmoon Cake

My colleague just sent me a 'fullmoon' cake of her baby. Till then only I realized that the 'fullmoon' cake for nowaday is totally different from last time. I remember when my first nephew was at his fullmoon (it was 11 yrs ago), my sis used to order only some 'Red Egg' & 'Vinegar Ginger'. Everything change as time past by.......

A song that touched my heart...

作词：John Newton 作曲：James P. Carrell, David S. Clayton 改編：edwin O. Excell

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;

Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace have brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,

His Word my hope secures;

He will my Shield and Portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, Who called me here below,

Shall be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’d first begun.

History: 《Amazing Grace》中文翻译为《奇异恩典》，grace原意为"优雅、优美"，此处解释成"上帝對人类的慈悲、恩宠"。ROV. John NEWTON作于1779年，开始是一首传统的民谣，或黑人灵歌，它表达了宗教的忠诚，其中包含着一个平淡但是极富深意的赎罪的故事，它成了基督徒每次祈祷忏悔时必唱的曲目，后来它流行越来越广，超越了宗教，成了一首真正意义上的流行歌曲，成为人们祈求和平的经典歌曲，是人民精神世界的赞歌，歌的主题和《圣经》的主旨相符：忏悔、感恩、赎罪、重生。《奇异恩典》的歌词是由1725年出生于伦敦的美国白人约翰牛顿John Newton 所作，歌词简洁充满敬虔、感恩的告白，也是他的生命见证，约翰牛顿曾经贩卖黑奴，无恶不作，后来反而沦落非洲。在一次暴风雨的海上，他蒙上帝的拯救，于是决心痛改前非，奉献一生，宣扬上帝的福音，成为19世纪伟大的传道人。去世之前，他为自己写了墓志铭：“约翰牛顿牧师，从前是个犯罪作恶不信上帝的人，曾在非洲作奴隶之仆。但借着主耶稣基督的丰盛怜悯，得蒙保守，与神和好，罪得赦免，并蒙指派宣传福音事工。”这首诗歌就是他一生得拯救的见证。

Pre-Wedding Package

I've finally signed up my Pre-Wedding Shooting package with Just Married Bridal S/B!!!

Went to Bridal Fair that organized by Bella Bride at Midvalley last weekend. Thought of to sign-up with Vogue Bridal S/B as their package & concepts of album were quite attractive at the beginning. However, i've realized that package offered by Just Married was much more attrative & worth it. With the price of RM3k++, Just Married provided more services to me compared to Vogue.

In addition, Vogue seems to be not professional enough. When I told the sales assistant that I managed to get a better offered (with same price) from other bridal shop, she offered the same package that other bridal shop offered me immediately. My first thought toward her action was :'why don't you offered me at the beginning ?". And i remember that the sales assistant (who served me during my visit to their shop at SS2) told me that they will not participate in this bridal fair but.......!! What kind of lie they are trying to tell??? I can't imagine how worst it would be if i did sign-up with them!!

Hopefully the package i signed-up with Just Married is worth for what i get.

New Office@Dataran Prima

I'm kinda surprise of my account's colleagues were busy in packing their departmental files last few days. As neither memo nor notification were sent to me about our moving to new office at Dataran Prima & out of sudden that I've been asked to go new office on last friday.

I was extremely so shock when i first stepped in our new office... it was so small! It seems that you were staying in a bungalow house & shifted to a house like low-cost flat whereby everybody gotta 'squish' in a small room. In addition, my new seating is just next to the entrance. Oh my god.... I couldn't imagine how am I gonna work at this kind of environment. The whole arrangement on the interior & partitions were so worst. To be frankly, i just can't accept it.

Nice Snack...

My colleague went to Shanghai with her family during that long holidays & just returned to Malaysia few days ago. She bought us some nice snacks from Shanghai & Nanjing. Well, it's really taste good. I'm just like it...

Am I ready?

I do enjoying on blog reading. It happened when I've discovered a blog that posted by a young gal about her failing marriage life. I'm impressed for her strength, her guts in starting a new life by marrying her current husband. I know how it feel....it is tough, much more tougher for someone who got hurt before.

I read thru some of her blogs about life of being a women. 'Unexpected Pregnancy', 'Preventing Abortion', 'About Motherhood' etc. Her practical advice evoked me..... am i ready? Ready for my new life? Ready for being a wife, a mother? These thoughts keep annoyanced me recently.

It is time for me to think about it seriously & I don't wish to repeat the same mistake as i did 8 yrs ago. It was really, really killing me & I've suffered from that (trustworthy of man) till now. However, I knew that was a negative thought. I shouldn't give up hope on Stew. Perhap Stew was a gift from god as a compensation for what i lost..... (I always, do believe in God & Equity) Yes, I've lost something most presciously in my life which i tremendously felt so regretted.

Since I've accepted his proposal, I should be ready for it. Okay, I am ready now! Wish me then...

Holiday on Cruise@Superstar Virgo

I had spent my three days holidays on the Superstar Virgo last week. As understand from my friend, Supercruise Virgo is the biggest ship compared to Gemini, Leo etc. Wow, it was really really big....! It supposed to be such a great & excited trip but end up with quite boring as nothing much you can do except gambling & eating.

Nothing much we can do on the first day as we checked-in at 6.30pm from the Harbourfront Centre. After settled down with our luggage & baggage, we went for the dinner which offered by the cruise. It was chinese cuisine with five course of foods included Ginseng with Sharkfin soup, roasted pork, vege, Patin with Asam style & dessert. The foods tasted not bad but not delicious. Followed by was our Karaoke section. It was chargeable per hour with complimentary of bir & some snacks but we changed the bir to 'Ice Lemon Tea' coz none of us were drinking bir. Funny..

Stew & I woke up at 6.30am the next day to catch up with a good view on the sunrise! We went to the top of the ship, it was so cold & windy. We both were feeling like freezy & shaking... Until about 8am, we went back to room & continue our sleep. hahaha.....too tired! There were no special actitity on the second day. However, Stew & my friend went to Casino for a lucky game...my friend lost more than S$5k while Stew lost about S$100 (all expenses were dealed inside the cruise is either US$ or S$, MYR is not acceptable at all). No winner for this trip!

My friend & his wife suggested to go swimming afterward. So, we just swam for a while. Later, we had our afternoon nap outside the deck (which you can have a good view on the ocean) since nothing to do. It was a windy day......We both were so relaxing & enjoyed our nap there till the dinner time. It was BBQ Buffet dinner nearby the poolside. Wow....so many people, so crowded!! Finally, we've got a table for our dinner!

Till the next morning, it was already 9.30am when we all woke up. We will be checking-out at 11am. No more breakfast for us (the breakfast time was 6am-10am). With no choice, we had our breakfast at a 'chargeable' restaurant. A noodle cost about S$9.50 excluded government tax & service tax. Kinda expensive.... About 11am, everybody (only guests with redemable point) awaited at a hall & to be going off from the cruise. For those VIP will be checked-out directly from the lobby.

Eventually, it is a good & relaxing trip to me. But if it is for those senior people & family with children, I believe it will be more fun as children can enjoy themselve by playing games, swimming, playing golf etc while senior people can go for dancing, of course gambling! However, for those who never experience on cruising, you should go for it at least once. So relaxing..... !!!

Kinsahi Restaurant

As planned earlier, I will be having my 'holiday on cruise' on Oct 27, 2006 & the port of embark will be at Harborfront, Singapore. Therefore, i went to Johor with Stew yesterday as he has started to work today.

Stew brought me to a japanese restaurant, Kinsahi (famous at JOhor) for our dinner last nite. I've ordered a 'Salmon don' while Stew ordered a 'Spider King Noodle' & sushi set - Imperial Sushi (sushi that covered with mangoo). Hmm....it's so tasty!

Meeting the parents...

Both of our parent still never got the chance to meet up for our wedding discussion ever since i agreed to marry Stew, . So, i told him to arrange for a 'meeting parents' dinner during this holidays when he has back to KL.

The dinner was held at Cystal Palm Seafood Restaurant (a restaurant which i might hold my wedding dinner there) last saturday. Actually, it was the idea of Stew's parent to choose on this restaurant & i had no choice..... Well, the foods tasted quite good & the decoration for the wedding still can be accepted. However, i don't really like that my wedding dinner to be held here due to the 'spacing' of the restaurant wasn't big enough. i told Stew that we might need to search around before committed to this restaurant.

Basically, the discussion was only started after the dinner & it is all about the ceremony of chinese tradition. Stew's parent asked whether mom has anything needs to add-on if there had missed out anything (it's their first time of having wedding celebration as Stew is the eldest son).
So, the discussion ended up at about 9.00pm with the bill of about RM300++ only for four course of dishes. Kinda expensive...

Thanks for the dinner, my future FIL!!!

Long long holiday...

The "Hari Raya Puasa" & "Deepavali" festive holidays falled to be on the same month & almost same week. Therefore, it is a long, long holiday for people like us (employee) to plan for a holiday break-away. However, many of my friend told me that, it is not worth to go travel as the hotel rate, flight charges & even prices for food will be definitely charged at the price of 'Peak Season' due to the holiday. I do believe that but...... this is the best time that you do not have apply any leave for your traveling.

So.....i've planned to runaway from the hustle & bustle city by having 3 Days 2 Nites 'holiday on cruise' - Superstar Virgo. Both darling & i were so excited to looking forward for it. None of us had ever experience that before.

TGIF, i'll be enjoying my holiday starting from today til Oct 29, 2006.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.........

Wedding Shoes

I never thought that my wedding shoes can be bought at such a good & cheap price. Guess how much is it?? It’s only at RM37.95 after discounted price. Yess….it is that cheap!!! Never thought rite?? My budget just for the shoes was around RM150 earlier but now, i can save up the money for other accessories.

Actually, it happened to be so coincident that my sis & i went for shopping at Lot 10 last week (just for your info, my sis are very good shoppers. They can easily found with accessories at the cheapest price.) Hahaha…….

Well…the shoes seems to be quite elegance & nice. This is what I’ve been searching all these while. Thanks gals…………

Congratulation on your new born baby...

I’ve got quite a lot of news about new born baby recently. Perhaps year 2006 is a good year of having baby. I have three pregnant woman at the office & one of them has just delivered a baby girl two days ago. What a good news……! So, a colleague has suggested to pay a visit to her at Pantai Medical Centre. We went there yesterday after our working hours.

Guess what…..my first impression on that baby gal was …… “wow, it is a wonderment by having such a baby in your stomach & for nine months!!” It is sometime hard to believe. However, a stomach that can carry a LIFE is really, really amazed me.

That’s what i always say:” a mother is the most grandeur person in the world."

Wedding Preparation

I thought i supposed to be excited on my wedding preparation since i had the date like planning on which wedding style & venue, wedding packages, gowns & coats, shoes, accessories, dinner venue, places for honeymoon etc. However, I did nothing on it so far but only some research on Bridal Shop (BS) for the pre-wedding shooting.

There are many things that need to be planned & done but i seems to have no guts at all to do so. Maybe i am worrying…. worried that he might has time for the preparation (yes, he is working far away from me), worried that wedding will not go as planned, worried about life after married etc…… All these worried has caused lots of pressure on me & guess it is ‘phobia’ i should called. I told my sis about my problems, she suggested that i go for psycholo consultation.

Am i going to be ‘发疯’(mad) soon?? Guess this is the only way out…..at least for this moment!

Wedding Date

It was not an easy job to have a good & prosperity date for my wedding ever since i had agreed with his proposal. Why?? Good question! It all because of wrong timing - so coincident that it was the month of ‘Ghost’ according to lunar calendar. Oh my god….. that was really killing me as i personally don’t really believe in this. However, the mother (my future MIL) claimed to do so only after the two ‘ghost’ months. By then, only able to get a good & prosperity date to us (bride & groom). What can i do then? My darling & i had no choice but to wait after two months just to get the date. What a ridiculous thing……

Only til today, i had finally got the date - 29.09.2007 is going to be most memorable day to both of us & also a big changes in my life!

Well, i know….. it is still long way to go….

Tioman Island - Day 3

When the time i woke up already 0730. Well, it's the last day of our trip at Tioman Island and therefore, darling & I was so lazy to wake up early. We had our breakfast at about 0815 while others still having a sweet dream on their bed.

After the breakfast, we went to the beach for a morning walk as well as for sea-shell picking & photo shooting. Darling planned to go for kayaking with the colleagues but unfortunately, there all were still sleeping. Ends up with no activity on our last day at Tioman Island.
At 1130, we were checked-out from the resort. While everybody is waiting for the ferry, a 'Luck Draw' section was held and again, darling failed to draw anything, not even a cash voucher. Most of the pricey gifts were drawn by foreign labours.

What a lucky life in Malaysia!!!

We arrived at Mersing port was around 1330. Our travel agent stopped the bus at a shop for us to buy some native like dried salted-fish, jelly fish cracker, dried 'sotong' etc. I din't buy anything at all as I don't like that smell of those native. Therefore, darling & I went to a restaurant for our lunch. What a poor thing! No more food was available for us. Nothing else we can do but to wait till we've back to Johor. So, I took my lunch & dinner together on that day at Secret Recipe, Jusco Tebrau City and it was already 1730. Pity me!!!

Tioman Island - Day 2

It was 0700 when my alarm tried to wake me up. We've been requested to have our breakfast between the time of 0630-0930 (as fixed by the resort). This time, darling and I decided to go to the lounge earlier in order to prevent same incident happened like last nite (no much food left). Okay, there were not many guests queueing up there and now, I do believed that "early birds always get the worm to eat". HaHaHa....

Our schedule for today's activities started at 0930 as everybody needed to gather at the jetty. The first activity was snorkelling at another beaches (eg: marine park, tulai island, ayer batang etc.) as taken by a fishing boat. The agent rented for about 5 boats for us as we had total of about 80 persons. Of course, there are always choices to choose whether to join or not. It took about 30 min to reach at our destination. The water was so cold and the waves was also quite strong. Guess it might be causing by the weather that seems to be cloudy & raining on the day. However, we still proceeded with our snorkelling activity.



At 1200, we had our lunch, Fried Rice at Marine Park (provided by the resort). It wasn't delicious as the rice already cold & tasteless. Before heading back to our resort, we've been taken to a 'Duty-Free Shop' for short shopping trip. Well, all liquors & cigarettes are sold with price of tax free. But most of my friend told me that those so called 'Duty-Free Shop' usually selling with imitation liquor, meaning not an original liquors. Yet still many of them were buying from there. Time shown about 1500 and the sky started to rain when we were on the way back to our resort. The winds & waves was getting stronger and stronger which caused all of us felt cold & freezing. After a while, rain stopped and we almost reached at our resort, thanks god!

I felt extremely tired after the snorkelling activity. However, darling & his gang (some close colleagues) were suddenly held a valley ball match with their company foreign workers at the beach. That was a fun & friendly match.

Finally, darling & the team won the game! Good job darling!!!

Tioman Island - Day 1

Joined darling's company trip to Tioman Island for 3 days 2 nites on 29/09/2006 with the total of 80 persons (included of darling's company foreign workers). The journey started at 0930 whereas everybody gathered at a Petronas station located at Taman Pelangi Indah. It took about 1 hour 30 minutes to reach at Mersing port. From the port, we took a ferry and reached at our destination, Paya Beach Resort at around 1330. How I wish we can be there in the faster time as no entrtainment at all inside the ferry and it was bored & sleepy.

I heard that is a legend about the island of Tioman was formed when a magical dragon princess, flying from China to join her beloved prince in Singapore, became so enchanted with the warm clear crystal waters that she decided to discontinue her journey and formed into the beautiful dragon- shaped island to provide shelter and comfort for weary travelers.What a romantic legend...!!

After checked-in to individual's room, I was so excited as my room was just in front of the beach. It was so calm and relaxing to be hearing with the sound of waves especially during night time.

At 1500, darling's colleague Wong suggested to go for snorkelling among ourselves. Without saying a word, 20 of us rented the equipments (goggles, flippers & breathers) by paying RM22 and started our first day activity- snorkelling at the beach nearby our resort. Wow....the corals are big and beautiful like a flower while fishes are so cute and colourful. I was hoping desparately that can dive deep into the sea to have nearest touch with them. As time past by, darling & I started to feel tired and decided to go back to our resort. As we swam near to the beach, a RM50 note just floated in front of me. Yeah, yeah....it my luck day!!! haha......

After taking rest for an hour, time shown 1900 and we had our early dinner (buffet style) at the resort. I guess it was not early enough as when were got there, all the foreign workers were already in a long Q. No much food was left till our turn as the refill service by the resort was not efficient. Therefore, we had no choice but to take whatever left for us.

After dinner, darling & I went for a night walk at the shops along the beachside and of course with his colleagues. The colleagues bought some birs, cracker and started their night activity - gambling. No other words but 'gamblle' can be described about Chinese. Darling neither lost the game nor won the game as I told him that I am sleepy but eventually is an excuse to get him 'back-off' from loosing the game. Guess he wouldn't know that is my trick against him.

The Birds Restaurant @ Kepong

上个星期因HR department的小姐辞职了. 其中一位同事便提议为她举办个辞别午餐 (farewell lunch). 那是一间很有特色的餐厅- The Birds, 卖的不单单是食物(nyonya cuisine), 就连餐厅的装饰也别有一番古代风味. 墙上挂满了一些70年代明星的照片如林黛, 周旋等. 而天花板上的吊灯用的却是”鸟笼” 呢!(大概是为了配合店名吧) 其他的摆设都是以一些70年代似的用具, 真够特别的.

至于食物呢, 也不差劲呐! 我们点了”阿三虾”, “泰式式石班鱼”,”咖啡鸡翅膀”, “家乡豆腐”及一些青菜. 大致上的食物都很美味, 就只有那道”咖啡鸡翅膀”. 可能是咖啡的影响吧, 味道苦苦的, 真难以入咽!!

不过, 这家店也真的是值得再去回味回味的. 别一番风味的环境配上美味可口的食物, 而最重要的是价钱又公道啦!!! 姐妹们, 有机会一定要是试试看哦.....
