Sleep problem

During the four-day long holidays and weekends, I have been waking up at 6.30am and slept the earliest at 11pm..basically just less than 6 hours sleep everyday....I mentioned that 11pm is the earliest but that is just the time I lie in my bed thinking, reading, looking for split ends...Guess it shud be almost 12 midnight by the time my eyes shut...

Then, i thought, since my body clock is so punctual everyday, I shuld have no problem waking up on monday for work...WRONG! I woke up at 7 am causing me to have a slight panic...

To make things worse, I not only felt sleepy during work but also headache after lunch time...Of course, two panadol did the job...

Today...I repeated the same process except this time, I had my alarm clock to wake me up and I have time to prepare things for lunch and breakfast.

Somehow, the panadol didnt work anymore...I have a pounding headache and I doze off a few times...No thanks to my colleague, PinkPanther for waking me up when I doze off...Geez...If i have that ten minutes dozing, I will be free from headache, i think...I end up trying to sleep in the stuffy warm toilet...I felt more uncomfy after that...

Not very sure what is wrong with me...maybe I shud sleep earlier...

PinkPanther had her hair straighten when she return to work on monday...Hmm...wat else is new about her? oh! she is no longer wearing her specs...Somehow, i think it doesnt really suit her. She looks much better with her specs on.


Right now, I try not to think of her as a nuisance...It is pretty bad to constantly think of her so badily. Her every move is somehow wrong to us...It must be her first impression to us that has not changed yet...Too bad...Haha

Hmm..today, I got two comments about me..
Comment one: I look paler nowadays...Marge arent sure if it is because I have become fairer or I simply lack of blood so I look pale...hehe..

Comment two: i look so cute in this pic that I took during the bbq party at Hawaii beach...so i decided to crop it and put in the blog for all to see...Me very cute...LOL

Another gathering

The day after that crazy night, on Hari Raya First Day, Karen smsed me telling me that Harry suggested that we have steamboat at my place tonight (Raya 1st day). As soon as I read the sms, I thought 'Crazy ar! Another makan again! And when did I even offer my place for steamboat?!'

No way will I agree to that. So we didnt...

Next day, Raya 2nd day, as I was window shopping in Parkson with Xuan, Karen smsed me telling me to have an online EGM at that very moment...SHIT! window shopping la...Then she told me that the steamboat will be at night on that day at Miss Tieh's place. Ok lo...me no problem one...But it was changed to an EGM instead...steamboat dinner become steamboat lunch...

That night...Karen, Miss Tieh, Mr Wee, Harry, Chi Ing, Joanna, Jong, Carol and I were at Miss Tieh's spare and empty house. At first, we were very seriously talking about the food we want to eat and who will be at the steamboat lunch. Then the talk strayed away from the main topic after a short time...Basically..we kept on talking about something else except for the main topic, steamboat...most on the things are on the things that happen in the office...I left with Karen at 1 am...No drinks are involved during this meeting...

The next day...I went shopping with Karen, Laura and LingJiun...Then we went to prepare all the stuff at Miss Tieh's place...When we look at all the food we have prepared, it doesnt seems much..In fact, we are below our budget by half...hehe...we have an attendance of 14 ppl.
Dont see the food like nothing o...everyone is full...and the food is almost finished except for a pack of vermicelli and one plastic bag of chillies...
After that, we all gathered at the living room..enjoying watermelon...Then, Karen, Harry, Laura, Josephine and I played '21 points.' Punishment is drinking Carlsberg beer. Laura and Harry drank the most..We also have red wine but those who drank beer din have any because we shudnt mix it together...
At 5 pm, I left with Karen...On the way home, I felt so tired...But somehow, I still managed to go over to Lynn's place to do some leg exercise...and then sent my dad's fren to airport and then after a shower, go out to window shopping at Parkson..have a drink at San Francisco Coffee with Xuan and Lynthia...Home by 10.15pm...Bed by 11 pm after some leg exercise and Sidney Sheldon reading on my bed.

Crazy night

One certain night in October, Joanna, Laura and Gohyie decided that they wanted to have a Crab dinner in November by themselves.

One certain afternoon in early November, Laura and Gohyie decided to have an invited-guests-only dinner party at Gohyie's place.

However, things didn't go smoothly as the invited guests can't seems to decide unanimously on the choice of food. Finally, Gohyie remembered this Crab dinner appointment and mentioned it to Laura. It was then decided that we should just have the Crab dinner instead.

Surprisingly, this idea was well-accepted and the decision (on who are going and what is on the menu) was made quickly in one single EGM (Eng-eng General Meeting). More fascinating, the planning only take two days.

This speedy decision has once again convinced me that any plan that need more than one week to decide and argue will never come true. Take example, my failure to organise a group trip to KL...urgh!

Anyway, on the eve of Hari Raya, eleven of us went to New Tanjung Seafood. Us are Laura, Joanna, ChiIng, LingJiun, Miss Tieh, Josephine, Mr Wee, Harry, Alex, Karen and I. We had Stir Fried bilin, Claypot Tofu, Sui-Yu (tortoise?), Black Pepper Crab, Stir Fried Crab with Egg and Tomyam Fish. Delicious! Scrumptious! Yummy!

Too bad none of us brought our digicam. Otherwise, the pics of the delicious food we had will be displayed here for MY viewing pleasure. hehe...Yes, MY viewing pleasure....

After we attacked all the food, the dilemma was whether to go to Island, Balcony, or karaoke. Somehow, my place become part of the choices as well. Final decision is to go to my place first then to some other place because it is far too early to go to the other three places.

At my place, there are tv-watching, internet-surfing, card-playing and drinking.

Card playing...my dinner is turned into the gambling table. NO MONEY WAS INVOLVED, ONLY ALCOHOL! We played six different games the whole night.

First game...no idea what is it called. But it is quite easy to understand. Somehow, none of us is willing to take the risk so we decided to switch game.

Second game...does not involve cards. "007 Bang! Wah!" A lot of laughing and we arent playing it very well. So switch game again.

Third game...does not involve cards again. "Calling name" Each person donned the name of the person on his or her right. When the name is called, the person who donned the name has to called out 'Wah!' and called out the next name. After a few rounds, we all took a break.

Fourth game...After the break, none of us wanted to play game that require us to use our voice box so back to the cards. "Picking cards" requires the ones who pick the card type that has been specified before the card-picking process to be punished.

Fifth game..."21 point" is the longest game we played. Each person took turn to become the banker.

Sixth game..."Cho-Tai-Di" is the last game and only four person are playing.

What is gambling if there is no price to pay?Since none of us wanted to use money ( reasons are gambling money is illegal and we don't want to become broke), we resorted to use alcohol. Harry's Absoluto Citron and my Chivas. By the time we reached the sixth game, we dont have any green tea or pepsi left to mix with Chivas so we drank it raw. How much we drink depends on the number of points we still have in our hand...example, three points means three seconds of pouring...

No one was drunk but the initial plan to go to somewhere, when the time is more appropriate, is abandoned. After the sixth game, we watched tv and joked around.

This is when I decided that I need to have some pictures to remember this night by. So, i dragged three persons to take ugly photos with me...Haha!

First victim...LingJiun...

Second victim...Laura...

Third victim...Karen...

The reason why Karen and I have two pics is because Harry was trying to distort the pic we are taking by waving the empty Absoluto bottle in front fo the digicam.

Another explanation to why the pics taken arent very sharp is because it was too dark (forgot to switch the flash on) and I am not very good at fixing dark photos.

The fun ended at 2 something a.m.


Morning-after: I slept at 3 a.m. and I woke up at 6.30 a.m. I can't sleep so I wake up to shower and wash my hair.

Oh! Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Went visiting with my aunt and then with my uncle and family. Met with Zairynn, my Primary Six classmate at the first open house I went.

Notice that the Malays wore these really nice big earrings and/or nice big shiny necklace with big shiny pendant. Something that I really want to have but can never find or like when I see one in town.


P/S: An Indian roti canai chef saw an accident involving a hit-and-run by a car. The police asked the Indian chef whether he saw the car plate number as he was flipping the roti canai. The Indian chef said 'Ada, nampak. Itu... Lapan tidak sampai satu tiga sangat dekat empat tiada satu tiada.'
What is the full car plate number?

Hey...give it a try ppl...hehe...drop your answer in the comment box...hehe...

Feeling a bit lame now...but dun care la..!

November girls...




November girls...haha...All born in November...One of the good things that my workplace is that we celebrate birthdays...But why this happen on 28th Oct? Cause Audrey's (the one in red) birthday is on the 1st and because it is Harry's final day in Andy Chia...


The birthday cake...hehe...no candles though...
Cause everyone is of a different age...so, dun bother lo...It is a blueberry cake...Not bad le... Ohya! we also have lunch at the office...


Alright, one big group photo....A few ppl are missing though....Vanessa, Elbert, Miss Chai are on leave while Laura, well, unaware of such event happening and still working very hard upstairs...aiks!
P/S: you might notice that some of them are wearing very casually while some very formal...This is because the ones weaaring casually are cleaning up the upstairs which suffered from a fire the previous day... :P
And, Mr Wee ( the one with the phone) is really
answering a phone at that moment...Hehe

One down, Five to go

Yeah!

At 9.15 this morning, I had my very first CPA exam...CPA108 Reporting & Professional Practice...60 MCQs and 5 structured questions...It ended at 12.30 pm.

Sat right at the front...I am number three...Laura is number two and Kelvin Chung is number three....

Susan Hee is there too...so is Yun Chin. Hmm..who else....the rest, I dun really know their name but I seen them before...

Oh...Laura and I are the last to arrive...haha...at 9 am and everyone is there waiting...Blush...blush...

After the exam, honestly, I felt nothing...there is no sense of relief that the exam is over...Maybe because I am too relaxed before the exam starts.
Laura and I went to Boulevard Food Court to have Teppanyaki lunch...I had Honey Chicken set while Laura had the Cheese Chicken set...Then, we walked around in Boulevard and then took a wu-liau ride the elevator up to the top floor before going all the way down to go home...

Feeling a bit headache...I think the fatigue finally sets in after the stressing out from the exam... i cant wait to sleep but without me realising, time flies and I need to prepare dinner right after this...sigh...

Tomorrow is back to work...

Dead meat

Still got like a whole mountain to read and I keep on falling asleep when I start reading....And once I do something else, PING! I am wide awake....This is really really bad le...and furthermore, I think I am getting fatter by minutes le...No Kidding!

I took seven days leave from office and i spend the first three days doing NO studying....been doing my dad's stuff, mum's stuff, grandma's stuff and none of my own....

I need some serious luck to get thru this exam and to pass it, of course....

Recently, I have been reading this certain blog...It is very interesting...Well, what the hell...might as well say it out...I am jealous by then way of how some ppl live their life....That certain blog has, in a way, influenced me to be more serious in losing some weight....to seriously consider on how to improve myself...I hope the influence will last though...cause i tend to change my mind a lot...

Recently, i made another one of my din-go-thru-my-big-brain promise...a promise of a dinner at my place...curry chicken, black pepper beef, sweet sour pork ribs, mixed veggie, cola chicken....hmmm....shouldnt be a problem.... shudder....

got to stop blogging now cause i need to study...and think if i really want to go to uncle's place to have lunch....

Ice cream man

Guess what? that is the look of my car boot....Remember my poor car article? Well...I din realise that I have a flood situation going on in my car boot until now. Sigh....pretty from the outside, rusty from the inside...Fortunately the damage isnt too big. the culprit for the flood is a leak from the backlight. Shit!
As I was trying to savage whatever that is left of my car boot, I heard the ice cream man went past my house.

The music goes something like 'lolly lolly lolly..bla bla bla...' OK, I have no idea what the music is about....But that is not the point. The point is that I suddenly thought of this extraordinary ice cream. This extraordinaire actually walk around Miri (in the town area (still town when I last saw him) & in housing estates) with his ice cream cart ringing his bell all the way to get ppl's attention...Can u imagine in your mind how he can push his cart up the steep hill to go to Bumiko & Hilltop? I was amazed to see him walk past my house one certain fine day....

The first and the last time I bought an ice cream from him is outside Stco area. His ice cream is damn expensive..I cant remember exactly how much...but it is very nice. I dunno what brand is it but it is good...

Which leads me to the point of wondering where is he now? It seems to be years already I havent spotted him anywhere. Has he finally retired?

Too bad no one is following his footsteps. It will make an awesome historical feel for Miri City... :P

Ice cream man, where are you? I want to have another one of that expensive yet delicious ice cream!

Kinda of lonely when I went there but fortunately, some of my ex-students come to accompany me..phew!

Shake your booty! It is not bad la...But i always have the thought that dancing is always repetitive...Get kind of boring after some time...the nest performance is also a dance called Dance on Flower which I thought was boring, meaningless and suprisingly (I heard from my ex-student) they won a trophy for this dance....Then it is Chinese drum beating..erm..nothing interesting about that...Then, it is the award-winning drama...About two friends...I saw a video of it before but wasnt in full version. This time, they have changed a little bit of the plot to make it fresh to the audience. From Pink flamingoes to Blue Hippos..hahah...Oh! one very interesting performance is the Black Peacock....

The modern dance by Diana and the geng...was ok...My bro told me that they have specially paid for a choreaographer to choreograph the dance for them..

Oh...There is something that makes this concert different than the Riam concert i went to...It is the commercial breaks...StCo has short sketches to make the time more passable when they are clearing up the stage...
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Here is a shot of one of the sketches...
Finally the night ended with a performance by the choir...not bad not bad...

Overall, it is ok la...performances are half good half terrible...No wonder they did it in the school hall...not much finances goes into it...and the terrible performances are really terrible...

p/s: Sorry for the poor pic quality...Actually, no camera is allowed...so I secretly snapped these pic without any flash...

Hair straightening product!

Hehe.... My mum suddenly become so generous and bought me a hair straightener... RM165...Vidal Sassoon...
Haha...Never thought she will buy me one...Cause she is always very kiam with her money...
But I am still trying to learn how to straighten my own hair la...Haiya...My hair is like super thick le... A lot of hair le...Every hair stylist told me that I have a lot of hair...I always think that when I go to straighten my hair at salon, it is worth it cause they need to use a large amount of the hair straigthening product on me...
If this hair straightener can help me to achieve a better manageable hair, then, i can save my time and money to go to salon to do my hair liaw...hehe...

Thanks, mum!

My poor car


hmm..the various pic of how damaged is my Wira....hehe...lemme see...
the pic on the top left shows white stretch marks made by me...cause i reversed the car and forgot the fact that there is a cement post...
pic on centre top is showing the faded paint at the door handle...hey! it shows that the car is well-used by me le...
pic on top right is a close up of the pic on the bottom left. the paint came off like fish scales...pretty gruesome...oh..poor car...
the centre pic of the bottom row is about my cracked bumper...hehe...first crack is made by me (again) when i reversed the car into a tree.... :P it also damaged the backlight as well...the second crack (worse accident) was my dad's fault (ok, not exactly his) cause someone just hit the car and left...DAMN THAT BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU HIT AND RUN! the back light is also further damaged by the second accident...which reminds that the area is sort of cursed...Everytime accident, that area always kena one...
Final pic (bottom right) is my dad's work of art...Twice he drive into our driveway and scratch the car with the gate cause the car to have those fabulous green stripes...

Hehe...No worries liaw..My wira is getting a paint job and a new bumper...and possibly a new backlight as well la...It will look new again! hahaha....i promise i will be extra careful...

The reason why my phone credit is always low



I often help my dad to order stuff for his work but i was especially pissed off when ordered this copper filter brush because it costs me a lot of phone credits...My newly loaded phone credit is reduced to a single digit credit in just one day ( only two calls to KL)....AARRGGHHH....

Flashback 1: New shoes, mouse story & temporary tattoo

After being deprived of good high-heeled shoes for quite sometimes, I finally spend some of my hard-earned cash in a shoes...Something that i shud have done ages ago before I spent all my money on things that I cannot remember spending on....
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

After a few weeks, I dun think this shoes is very good la...It makes me walk funny...Kind of slippery...Hahaha....I am so picky... :P

What will you do if you trapped a mice in a trap? I probably wouldnt do anything 'cause I wouldnt want to touch it at all. I remember whenever my grandpa trapped a mice in a trap, he would drown it in the drain before removing it from the trap...My grandma did the same thing although she felt very disgusted by it...But recently, I learnt a new way to kill a mice...My uncle suggested to let the mice out in the sun to die of heat....The maid put the mice on the top of the gatepost...and here is the evidence...
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
I wonder if the mice really die cause I din see it after I came back from work...

Temporary tattoo...the last time I had a henna done on me, I was really unhappy with what I have after it dried and peeled off...The whole pattern is light and is gone within hours, not weeks as promised by the guy who did it on my shoulder....
I give it another try again, at Curtin Carnival again...this time, I am happy with it....But I rub it off with baby oil after a few days...Cause it is fading and i dun like the way it faded differently at different sections of my hands...in another word, not pretty anymore la...
When the henna thingy is still on my hand...drying out....

Venting out

For clarification...I am not stressed out...i just dont get it...

Some ppl can read all they want...and yet they dont understand what they are doing...
Some ppl can read all they want...and yet they ask all the questions that makes others run away for miles...


When I was doing my first few assignments...I remember asking a few questions and I can almost complete the whole thing...a few simple instruction and I am ok liaw...She is not to be blamed...But dun put the blame on me...no one give me instruction to teach when i am also one of the ppl who is still quite new...I almost lose my temper when more blame is placed on me today...Dangerous le...

NEXT ITEM!!

Questions...one or two is fine...But continuous shooting questions bugs me...how many times do I have to say that we use only UBS for book-keeping and only Excel for accounts?! How many times?! 'But why not use just UBS? It is so much easier?' Argh! Oiii....get it into your head la!! How many times do I have to repeat myself?! Ppl do like that then you just do like that la...Why so lo-so?!

'Oh...I eat out too much already...' What kind of stupid reason is this to give to refuse going to an annual dinner? Oh..forgive me..not stupid...arrogant is more like it...Are you trying to say that you are so rich that you always eat out so you dun even care to go to an annual dinner with your new colleagues? I cant believe this person at all....

'Oh...Big companies have a lot of things...I seen it before...Really a lot...They even have proper book-keeping...' Aiks...What are you trying to say here? That the rest of us dunno anything...We are so stupid not to know that...Do you think that those small companies doesnt have ppl who knows how to do book-keeping? Only big companies? Are you sure?

Someone told her off on one fine day....I am not sure if she knows it or not...But hearing how she was told off makes me feel so good...haha...


Gee...I feel bad lashing out at her like this...but I seems to have a little dislike of her...I am not sure why....But it feels good to say it all out loud...hahah....

Those who knows I am talking about...Shut up about this...

Tuesday, October 04, 2005

Cocktail or Mocktail?

Last night was Lynnwei's final night in Miri....after a big dinner, I went out with lynnwei and yuan to drink....

I realised that both lynnwei and i are not drinkers...we have very limited of alcohol...But i dun think that it is a bad thing anyway...

After rounding the town, we finally decided to go and have cocktails to relax....Marriott...

I had a pina colada...not too bad...the waiter recommended it...but i think i could have handle a more alcoholic drink...hehe...lynnwei maaged to order a non-alcoholic drink which she later tradwe it with yuan's more alcoholic drink...haha! she claims that the drink she ordered is not as nice as what yuan order...haha....

It leads me to conclude that Lynnwei and i are actually not a bad drinker...we can handle stronger drink..i think...hehe....what is stronger to us is probably a weak drink for usual drinkers...

Farewell, Lynnwei...Till we meet again next year...ganbatte ne!

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

That's the words shouted by our Father of Independence on the 31st August 1957...

Last night, around 9 sumthing pm, I went out...There are a lot of ppl in the bicycle and motorcycle on the road carrying Jalur Gemilang...travelling at a dangerous speed and route...The realisation of Independence Day hits me. For days, I have been thinking to get a flag to put on my car to show some kind of patriotism....but I never get to do it...haha...Then, it turns out that I am a bit too late. So I decided on the road at that moment that I don't give a damn about it. The little flag pole on the car is a fad. Those who still have those flag poles are....a bit too much for my taste...
But, I do admire those who carry the flag around town on their bikes...Big flag...

Commercials to promote Hari Merdeka (while promoting their brand name) by the big companies...this year, a commercial of some company hits me as irrelevant. Tolong menolong...what does that have to do with Hari Merdeka....no idea...I dun get it...those who gets it, pls tell me about it...The other commercial about sending ppl to England to be trained as teachers..now...tat is something to do with Hari Merdeka...There is the link to Hari Merdeka...It makes me wonder though..if they really did film all those things at that time...did they?

Anyway, Selamat Menyambut Hari Merdeka!

p/s: I will be going out to shop for a purse and a pair of shoes...hehe...

I am back...

Just came back from Brunei...A three days trip...Surprisingly tiring...I have so much ideas on what I want to blog the whole time I was in Brunei but somehow, at this very moment, I cant remember what is that I wanted to say...But anyway, here goes nothing...

Car Breakdown

Have I become a jinx? The car broke down on both my journey to and from Brunei...I have to wait for one hour plus for the mechanic to come and fix the car...Damn..

The Maid




A new addition to the horror movies collection...This is about the horror adventure of a Filipino maid during the chinese 7th month in Singapore. If you have watch the movie, I want to share my opinion...NEVER step on the ashes of the hell money for that will cause you to see dead ppl...Cause that is what happen to Rosa. She stepped on the ashes and she starts to see the dead son & all other ghosts. Then, all the other rules applies...Never swim after dark ( better dun swim at all)...Dun turn around when you thought someone call you...Dun talk to strangers on a stretch deserted road...rules like that...Scary o....
I din watch some part of the movie cause I was in the toilet... Yupe..I was...The whole place does look scary as it is all in red...i mean the hallway to the toilet, not the toilet...and it was empty...
The movie was sort of scary but surprisingly i laugh most of the time...cause the ppl i watched the movie with were very funny ppl...
Oh...this movie is also the first movie i watch at The Mall...

Bookworm

I become quite a bookworm. First book is still Da Vinci Code...I slowly reading throught he bok cause I really want to savour the book...Thinking deep thoughts when I read the book...But I cant give any review now cause I am too tired to think about it...But, when I say a review, it usually means a long summary of the book...haha...
The second book is Trump: The Art of The Deal. When I first look at the book, I sort of dread the thought of reading it, thinking that it will be so uninteresting. But I was wrong. The book is really exciting. It is amazing how a person can own such intelligence and wealth. The book also makes me wonder how is the taxation system in US is like.

Early Morning Walks

My mum woke me up at 5 am in the morning to get me to walk around the mosque. There are quite a number of ppl who walk around the mosque early morning. The first morning, I walked alone while the second morning, I walked with my dad. The third morning, I chickened out. I told my mum the night before that I dun want to walk the next day. Reason being that my legs hurt...but i dun think it is because of the morning walks...Want to know why? Read on...

Foot Massage




I went there just to accompany my mum. But I end up getting a foot massage as well. I remember the last time I had a foot and hand massage, the only distinct problem I had was my spine. This foot massage shows that I have a lot of problems with my health. Every single area she massaged hurts like hell. My spine, ears, nose, throat, intestines, hormone level...stuff and stuff...oh gosh...My body is in a mess. after the massage, my foot really tires out...So, I think the reason why my legs hurt is because of this massage...

Well, that is pretty much what i did apart from the normal stuff lo...

A busy...Busy...Busy Weekend

Firstly, I have been working half day on Saturday morning...pretty tiring liaw and yet, since i havent been keeping in touch with irene for a long time, I drop her visit at the Boulevard parking lot and spend my whole afternoon and night there....Nothing much happens as the real competition that Davis is joining only going to start tomorrow...So, on saturday, basically, you got to tune ur audio...try out the audio...sit int he car...get some air-conditioning going on...(to know more about what is exactly happening there at the parking lot, please go to this site ). And then, on Sunday, real competition starts...

I had a really nice long chat with Irene...It has been a long time since we done that...Really appreciate the time we spent these two days...really relieve me of a lot of burdens...haha..as if i have a lot of burdens... :P

Sunday...after i drop jinnwei off, I went over to Boulevard again...Then, Irene told me that she will be driving the car to the competition camp...Gosh...Intense...Below is a pic of Irene getting very nervous...

The crowd at the camp is well..supportive? They are surprised to see a girl drive the car...haha...This audio show is a guy-thing...To see a girl is abnormal...To see a girl driving a car with such a powerful audio is shocking...

After that audio show, I sent my brother home and then after a shower, I am out again...

Off to Imperial Mall....Have a date with a friend...A friend that i really love to go shoppng with because she is a great shopper. She have a body figure that is almost the same with mine...So she understand how i feel when I go shopping for clothes or shoes or anything. But she is cool about everything that I know I have a lot to learn from her although she is younger than me and she used to be my student...Gasp...
I only bought this one thing that I have been thinking to tbuy for such a long time...and finally...i bought it...
Image hosted by Photobucket.com hahaha...yupe, i have it now...and I am happy...

After I sent her home, home it is...then, my cousin's crib to watch Bewitched....

this is certainly one long weekend for me...I feel so tired..and I am supposed to feel rejuvenated after the weekend...damn....

A night of Atmosphere.....

Lack of skill in communication? yes..i really think so...I seriously lack of communication skill.

My brain is not empty...it is full of stuff....but...why? why? why? WHY CANT I SAID OUT WHAT I THINK?

Sitting at Atmosphere Cafe, listening to the conversation...i realise how little i know of stuff...I dun have the living abroad experience...And most of the conversation is about the ppl they meet when they are away from home. I only get to know ppl who are in curtin and further more, with my lack of communication skill, i dun get to know many ppl...I only see from the outside side...sigh...

I feel so ...erm...like a katak under the tempurung?

Scaredy me

I think I am easily scared...really...I am not kidding...

Ever since...Tale of Two Sisters...which I watched because I thought I was going to some English action movie, I became a scaredy person.

One little action in the movie which isnt supposed to be scary at all will cause me to jump in my seat. --> which cause the person sitting next to me to smile and be amused at my reaction...

One little word can cause me to feel so anxious that my head will swim ---> my brain must be lacking a lot of oxygen...

Recalling an incident in the conference room in my office...My client is so tall and huge and sitting right opposite of me. Slowly he lean forward smiling at me...I can only smile back, not knowing what to say, because i was only there to hear everything so that I can work on the stuff later...Then, he said 'You made me rush to the bank the other day just for the payment'. My reaction? Eyes widen...mind racing...Did I do wrong when I told him to rush to the bank the other day? .....Then, my senior stepped in to save me. I didnt do anything wrong...I saved him from paying more money..phew...Why didnt I think of that? My senior even told him not to scare me...He laughed and said he was only kidding...Phew...RELIEF....

Really la..very intimidating to see him lean forward and said that...My brain was having a swim when my senior stepped in to save me...Dizzy dizzy dizzy...Definitely lack of valuable oxygen...

Please...dun scare me anymore...

And if u want me to watch horror movie at the cineplex, dun ask me to buy the tickets...cause I wouldnt!

Riam School Concert

Have a nice time watching Riam School Concert last night...Lynnwei bought the tickets to watch Riam School Concert at Miri City Centre...or what I always called as Sivic Centre.
The night started with a performance by the band with four singers singing two songs...erm...Too loud....Then...a dance routine .... then, a girl singing 'honey' by Wang Xin Ling. Respect for her. So brave to sing and dance by herself on the stage...then then...choral speaking...when i suddenly heard a voice that is so familiar coming from my back...Then it struck me. that is my boss's voice. Mind exploded. He is behind me?!! Scarily, I turned to the back and yupe, it is my boss and his wife, i presumed. After managing to say 'hi, Mr Chia', i turned my attention to the front stage...squirmed in my seat. Din dare to do anything drasticily embarassing... carefully watching my own movement so that I wouldnt embarass myself... :P

The rest of the concert was ok...Can see the mistakes they do...some of them did very good...some made mistakes...Din finish watch the show because it is kind of getting late and so, we left.

Their english and chinese are pretty weird to my ears. Too much stressing on the pronounciation. When i recap the way they pronounce the words to one of my colleagues this morning, she has goose bumps all over her. hehe...I think it is a common thing that happens to those ppl who are chinese educated.. .Or am I becoming too Englishish...?


Drum beating performance after the opening ceremony.... One of the drum beater nearly tripped to the floor when they are doing their routine..hoho...


Classical dance routine inspired by 'The heavenly fairies'...a really classical chinese movie. They really look like they are floating around with their long sashes....but one disadvantage, if they are not careful, the sashes will get stuck to their headpiece and they have to float to the backstage to remove it before floating back to the stage to continue the dance routine..haha...Another thing i noticed is that the dance routine just repeat over and over again...erm...i guess dancing is like that...repeating the movement over nad over again...

Woke up late this morning..feeling unwell...maybe cause i sleep late last night...or the show just tires me out..Still have to go to wrok...argh...can i dun go? Well, i went anyway...The boss did asked me did i enjoy myself last ngiht or how was the show...hmm...cant remember which question he asked me...I asked him wad happen after i left...guess what? he said i missed the best part..damn....

Down with flu

Has my health level really gone so low?

From flu and cough during my short teaching career to food poisoning during my permanent job and now, another flu hits me. My weight continue to rise due to the amount of food i consumed in the office. my colleagues really know how to eat.

this is not my biggest concern now.

i woke up this morning feeling worried. grandma mentioned something yesterday that makes me feel worried. She said she might not come back alive. The thought of that scares me. She is having an open heart surgery to make her feel better. otherwise, she will get tired easily and maybe, seizure ( i think that is what it is called) everytime she gets too excited or tired. koko, me and lynnwei will be having breakfast with her later. DimSum at Grand Palace Hotel.

I feel so helpless that i cant help her.

Someone to hold

Many times i feel like I want to hold on to someone. Not in a relationship type. Physically...Holding hands...snuggle together...put my head on someone's shoulder...

But I restraint myself. Why the restraining? Maybe because all these things seems to be meant for girlboy relationship and i am just one girl and there is no boy.

Often, i wonder what is wrong with me. My mum suggested that it is my weight that pushes ppl away. My fat looks. Ad yet i thought personality is all it takes. Then, a thought hits me. Attractiveness...that is it! I lack of attractiveness. the magnetisicm that draws ppl to me. It doesnt matter whether one is fat or ugly. As long as one has the attractiveness factor, he or she can get anyone at all.

I think attractiveness is something that one is born with and not something one can acquire. too bad i dun have the attractiveness.

ARGH...realisation of another of my weakness...low self esteem...urgh!

Advice is for listening

" Just write in to any companies. In fact, write in to all the possible companies that you think you can work with. Don't worry about anything like your results. It is all up to those who look at your resume to decide if they want to use you. if they think you are good enough, they will employ you. Right now, they will only look at your qualification and results. After a few years, it is experience that counts. "

That is what I told a friend when she asked for my advice.

A few weeks back, a not-really-close friend called me to ask for some advice regarding her results. I was suprised because I really don't know her well at all. In fact, we don't even talk to each other before. So, you can see how surprised i was. I told her about what I did and I guess that is that best I can do since I don't really know anything much. She called back to tell me that she did what I told her and she got what she wanted. I was happy for her.
A few days ago, she called me again to ask me about something else. I, again, don't really know much so I don't think I help in any way.

A few nights ago, a different friend called me to ask me for my advice on job-hunting. Quoted above is the condensed version of what I have told her.

Natural instinct is that when one ask for advice, one will follow the advice. I never really thought about the person who give the advice. How will this person feel if this person finds out that his or her advice is not being followed? Nothing much I guess. Maybe I am wrong...

Today,

gohyie: good morning, andy chia & co.
caller: good morning. My name is XX (name is not included to prevent any legal actions..haha). I am a fresh graduate and i would like to ask if there is any vacancies in your company...
gohyie: XX! It's me. Sorry le. I dont know who to pass you to know if there is any vacancies. The receptionist is not around so I really dont know. Why dont you just write in?
caller..XX: Oh! i see...I have been calling a lot of companies for the whole morning. none of them have vacancies. how come you are the receptionist?
gohyie: oh...why not u just write in? they will call you when they have vacancies. i am just helping out at the front desk. why not i give you the mailing address of this company so that you can write in?
XX: ok...sure
gohyie: it is ......(address)...
XX: oh..thanks...i will call back later to ask the receptionist, yeah?
gohyie: sure..no problem...

Makes me wonder if she heard the advice I told her.
A few minutes later,

gohyie: good morning, andy chia & co.
XX: goo...
gohyie: STOP! wait... i will get the receptionist for you. just give me a second.
Receptionist: good morning. yes, how may i help you? ...bla bla bla...(basically telling her to write in)...

This makes me wonder...have I wasted all my saliva telling all those things to her for nothing? She needs someone else to tell her off? Hey, I should be a someone else too...

First night on a balcony...

Another one of my never-been-there-before places has become i-been-there-before place.

Tonight, I went to Balcony with three of my colleagues.

At first, we went to Al Fresco...eat a bit...drink a bit....chat a bit....the whole process took us one hour plus...A huge conclusion from it is that our main topic is always about work...cham!

Then, we went to Balcony...Nothing much happens....We sat there for nearly an hour long... I had a cup...glass...oh! a tumbler of red wine...cheap red wine...free...cause it is ladies night...hehe...

Honestly, I cant see the point of ppl sitting around watching each other drinking...Around 11.45, ppl started to crowd the dance floor....I was kind of disappointed because there wasnt much ppl dancing..cant see any action going on...Then, when we left the place, I saw that a lot of ppl are actually dancing le...Which only means that the spot I have sat all that time is actually only good for admiring the little sharks they have in their big aquarium...

Kinda of feeling tempted to boogie on the dance floor....but...I am not a good dancer...In fact, I realised that I only know how to shake my booty...and it ends there....nothing else...so no point of dancing cause I only know one section of the art of dancing...hand movement..leg movement...I have no idea about it all...That is why I wouldnt dare to dance in public...

My first experience with disco dancing..is that how to call it?....was with Mok...He showed me how he danced on the floor of Prom 2001. I was startled at that time. and then the dancing bug got me...I got pretty good dancing in my bedroom till I told Dennis about me dancing...Weirdly, from that time onwards, I dun think i can dance at all...What happen? I have no idea at all...Weird...

Looking forward to another trip to balcony....not as bad as i thought it would be...Not advisable for those who hates smoke and loud noise...

Bao Bei

hehe...
My new nickname...It has grown on me...I dun really mind anymore...Kinda of mind about it in the first place but now...it is ok liaw...

It started when my colleagues funnily mentioned that the senior assistant is very affectionate to me. So they started to call me her 'Bao-bei.' So, now, I guess it sort of stuck with me..

Got a scare just now when i heard my senior assistant mentioned that she will go home to hug her 'bao-bei' tonight. I had to remind myself that she is most probably talking about her pet dog at home...phew...relief!

PEAK SEASON IS OVER!!!!!

yea!!!

Finally, after two months of hard labour, it is finally over. I finally dont have to work overtime. Hehe...

Tonight, I will be going out to meet up with my colleagues and we will be partying to celebrate the end of the peak season.

A thought pop up....Shit! I still have a client that I need to handle after peak season...very troublesome case to handle...

"Fang Fei Zi"

Can someone tell me what does that mean?

Easy...Someone just left you hanging to do something else instead of the something promised earlier.

I am simply very angry because i showed my dedication to my FAMILY and instead I get the aeroplane. Yeah! How "wonderful"! This is what I get for giving up my time and money.

Note that I am putting the blame on myself. Maybe I should change my priority. Apologies from any party will not do anything. I wish I can say 'Dun find me, I will find you" But i cant. Cause I probably wouldnt find you at all.

I find this really ridiculuous. What the f*** is what I wanted to say now.

Is it because I never have a temper before? So easy to be bullied around? Easy to be boss around?

This is the reality now. I am just keeping it all inside. Dont go thinking that you are all superior and all. Just because I dun go caring what you are doing to me, it doesnt mean you can go do anything you like.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Now, is it that scary? The one who gave the aeroplane....no worries....I was letting off my steam....you are not in danger....Nor am I severing my connection with you...You are most probably sitting comfortably at home using your laptop at this moment. Me? I am outside. Where? Does it even matter? My mum thought that I am working overtime at the office.
Honestly, I was going to work. But I decided not to.
Just dont do it again.

Remember "peng you se me dou ke yi" It certainly applies to you. jJst there is no friend. Even i am not sure what is it.

ok...a sudden rush of photo activity in my blog now...hehe...this is taken in my office...actually is the upstairs of my workplace. Everyone is there except for the boss (who is the photographer) and another girl (who went to get the free ticket for initial d)....We are having a birthday party....so there are plenty of food on the table...

Hahaha.....my graduation picture...Hohohoho.....I hate the shape of my lips, btw...that is how my lips will look like when i am too excited or happy....got to control that

The many faces of ppl....

Finally... my colleagues have opened up to me...they are being to be comfortable with me...Then they revealed to me hw dangerous is the office...

Scary no 1: She is inconsiderate and dont know how to handle her subordinate. She said the meanest thing and this causes the others to want to quit the job. For me, I thought she was fine till I heard about this. Then my thoughts starts to go deeper. Feel like every word she said is very mean. But if I dont go and care about it, I wouldnt feel anything, right? So, why put myself thru this kind of torture?
Scary no 2: She is a two-faced person. One angelic and one evil. She will only be nice to you when she wants to and will put all the blame on you if there is a mistake. She is the one who wants to push all the responsibility to others so that she will have none to worry about. For me, I have not experienced the evil side fo her so I will try to be careful.
Scary no 3: This person has no temper. Never scold, just ask whether we are ok or not. But beneath that, he is one hell of a person. Never try to cross his path for he will make sure you will suffer for it. None of us dare to do so....scary...the most scariest of all....I will definitely not do anything to make him angry....

Office suddenly become a scary place. but I think it will make it more interesting. What is an office if it doesnt have all those scary elements? We are only humans. These kind of stuff exist whether we like it or not. The best way to get along peacefully is to be careful not to do anything that will hurt anyone...

Average Joe...a bit too unfair...

Average Joe 1....The girl choose the pretty boy over the average joe.
Average Joe 2....The girl choose the pretty boy over the average joe AGAIN!

Average Joe 1: Very stupid of her! The average joe is a millionaire! Not that I am thinking that she should choose money over looks...She broke up with the pretty boy she chose right after the vacation they took while the average joe got a girlfriend a month after the show.

Average Joe 2: The whole thing looks so promising for the average joe. The pretty boy is sort of stupid...the average joe is so full of personality and depth....But who did she choose? The pretty boy....adu.... But she got her balasan when the pretty boy left her after she told him that her ex-boyfriend is Fabio, some old hunky guy.

The whole show struck me as stupid...why? cause the girl always choose the pretty guy...very very typical. doesnt average joe get the chance to win it?

Now, they are going to let the average joe to be in control. they get the first average joe to come back and be the one who decide who will be his 'the one'. Just read from the website and found out that...once again....the nicer-looking and empty-headed ppl won again....ridiculous!
The summary says that the one who chooses always seems to rely on their hormones to make their decision.

One thing though...the dates they have in the show are really romantic and luxurious....

Initial D

On wednesday, my colleagues went to watch initial D...They got the free tickets to watch it...whoa....

their verdict of the movie is that it is funny....a bit unrealistic but what can one say, the movie is inspired from a manga (manga...corect ka?)..nevertheless, i still want to watch it...

Really want to watch the manga (once again, is manga the correct word?)...watch a bit of initial D the manga at my aunt's house the other day on chinese new year eve....sort fo attracted to it.really want to watch the whole thing...but ... sigh...
WHERE AM I GOING TO GET IT?!!!

monday night, xuan, initial D!!!

Workaholic me...

hehe....

Last weekend, I went back to Brunei to celebrate the dumpling festival. Had dinner at a Nyonya style restaurant. Very full stomach after that...

Earlier that day in the office, I informed the senior assistant that I will not be working overtime on that weekend and also on Monday night. She told me to watch out myself of the deadline and to have more OTs to get it all done. I made a promise that I will.

Monday night, I went to Opi to get another facial treatment, which is free. Why? Because of the complaint I made the last time I went to have a facial treatment. This time, I really enjoy the treatment experience because the person taking care of me is really friendly and funny. I have another session booked for the next month.

Starting from Tuesday, I have worked overtime every night. About 4 hours everyday. Today, Saturday, I suddenly find myself unable to do anything because I dont have a pc to work with. I cant do anything because I DONT HAVE A PC! damn... i end up trying to all the little things just to pass the time.

afternoon time, overtime! hehe...have the pc all to myself...so I get to finish all the things i need to using a pc very quickly and move on to work on another assignment...

Work is not all about work. I have fun in my workplace...Today, we celebrate our boss's birthday together with the June birthday people. The boss sponsored a huge cake (3kg fruit cake) and two dishes. We had another smaller (1.5 kg) cheese cake. We have fried noodle and rice. I had the fried kuew tiaw. Honey dew, watermelon, and jellies. What can i say? I was so full. The cake still left a whole loads. I have also discovered that the people in the upstair department knows me. HAH! They do! Hehe...they are really nice to me too....I am surprised. Well.i think as long as i havent done anything to hurt their feelings, they should be ok with me...Now, I learn to be more open and friendly to all my colleagues.

Yupe....I am loving my job now...

Have working OT got me?

moments ago, i was very pissed off.

I could have wrote a lot of my anger in here.

But since i have calmed down, I cant write any of it down as it will show that I am a very short-tempered person, no consideration for others, no gratitude for others, and self-centred pig.

And I wouldnt want that, would I?

Can I blamed it on my recent job? I dun think so actually.

Why? Because, in the midst of all the hectic schedule, I am enjoying myself. Learning new things. Things that are a lot more interesting than what I learn in my years of studying. Having colleagues who are funny, helpful, and cooperative. Gosh, i even enjoyed the OTs.

Maybe it is the time of the month...the dreadful PMS.....oh no!

Miri Parade 20052005

Hehe...I dont really want to go as I know there will surely be traffic jam. But when Jeng and Elsie called, I just had to go. So i got Dad to send me to Boulevard. Then, I used Elsie's car to go to the parade.

Together we watched the parade in front of the courthouse. Then, we walked to Kingwood Inn area 'cause we were going to meet Esther there. Along the way, we anticiapted to see stco band. Whe we finally see it, we are so excited. Then, we also saw Harwinder aka Veena. She was with the Sikh assocation, i think. We had to shout her name so many times to get her attention. Then, continue to watch the whole parade.

The watching gets me really excited. I feel so proud of Miri. all of a sudden. I want to join in the walking also. Feel so proud of my students. :p

GO MIRI!

City of Values

Last night, I went to this talk about city of values. Dr Roger Cole is the speaker.

My boss bought the tickets and then let us, the employees, to go and listen to this talk. According to him, it is a good talk. No one really want to go. I just took the ticket and I had the premonition that I will forget about it when i go and watch it.

Believe it or not? I really did forget that I need to go to the talk. Fortunately, I told jinnwei the day before about it and he reminded me to go. So i rushed to shower and get ready at 6.50pm and sped to Pustaka. Arriving at 7.05pm, I realised that I was still early. Sheesh....

I didnt sit with my colleagues. Instead, I sat with my former colleagues, the substitute teachers. During the talk, while I was trying to interpret what the speaker is talking about, I wrote notes to chat with YikTing.

I am not interested in meditation type of things. So, basically, the speaker was talking about peace and happiness in oneself. the speaker is so long-winded. During the Q&A session, only one question was asked and he answered it in half an hour time when all he was trying to say was yes. I dont really get the whole thing. I think the topic for the talk is inappropriate. It should be something like 'Discover yourself through meditation.' In fact, I think that the YB's speech was more related to the topic, City Of Values. :P

Finally, we even had a meditation session. :0

After the talk, I went to lim-teh with my former colleagues. Kind of weird for I dont really know them. They felt strange to me.

I went home at around 11pm while they went for Karaoke at Rex-Box

Time Flies....20.05.2005....20052005

Whoa!

so fast...one week have passed.

Firstly, i have quit teaching for one week. feeling not too bad. i am ok with my job. i am doing well with my assignments.

Secondly, Miri is now no more a town but a city. MPM is now MBM ( Majlis Bandaraya Miri).

Honesty, I feel good about my job. i am thinking that i am being ignorant of any office politic if there is even any. I am enjoying my life. Miri, i feel has not changed much. City or no city. it is the same. unless there is going to be huge changes otherwise...miri is still miri. am i being negative?

This morning, i work although it is a holiday today. my senior mentioned that it is up to me to work or not to work on holidays. but i am thinking for more leave in the future sake. i must owrk overtime. i dun want to sit in the office with nothing much to do when it is no longer peak season. horror!

Meeting of the Spare Tyres

On Friday night, I went out to Atmosphere Cafe to meet two old frens of mine, Jeng and Esther. I havent seen Esther for a very very long time. Probably for nearly ten years o. We chatted about old times and recent news. It feels good to be able to meet old friends and chat with each other.
Then, because there is a live band at the cafe, we left as there is no way we can chat in peace. We went to Seahorse to have some supper and more chatting.the night ended at around 12 midnight.

Spare tyre...not the body fat type of spare tyre. It is the spare tyre that guys will look for when they just broke up with someone or have problem with their partner. This kind of spare tyre will usually unaware of it and fell into the trap. Jeng, Esther and I have the same problem. We are ppl's spare tyres.

Why do we have to be ppl's spare tyres?

Why cant we have someone to love and care for us, for real?
