Ohh, yea. Did I tell you am now working? As in I am now stepping into the second phase of life! Yea, I just did. Juggling with work and life is hard. Anyway, I have a bunch of super nice colleagues :)) I am still going through super bad gastric. Have been consulting a few docs but nothing seemed to improve. Oh, well.
Besides, Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Life gonna be busy and kicking! I spent my weekend last week over at Singapore. My phone rang so many God knows how many times and thousand apologies for those who were unable to reach me.
Anyway, few weeks back, boss suggested for a QE Appreciation Dinner which is only for our workcell. Hence, tonight would be the night for us to get together and chill with free flow beer and wine at E&O Hotel. I love the desserts. Not that they are superbly nice but more to the way it was made.
Its simple and cute aren't they?!
As per mentioned, bottomless beer. Anchor served in Heineken's glass.
Hmmmph... food glorious food!
Red wine!
Love the pink creme!
This is bitchy!
I can never resist chocolate strawberry! Can you?
Here comes marshmallows!
I know this is madness but this is my boss's. Yes! He eats these much!
The male engineers :))
Indeed I have working with these bunch of people :))
A short speech from Ben :) Eat, eat and eat!
Ganesh :))
Dinner was great with great people but the place reminds me of a lot of many others. Life goes on indeed. I wouldn't dare to look back at all. Anyway, dinner ended at 10pm. I was so bloated! This is crazy. I have not been eating this much since few weeks back. Gastric kills!
I am finally home from my Indonesia back-packing trip. Indeed, we did back-packed in style and I will flood with many wonderful pictures once I have transfer to my laptop. I don't have time as yet. Practically, I just got home not long ago, which I managed to empty my 14.1kg backpack and pour all my stinky-sweaty clothes into the washing machine as well as sorting things out. Its a superbly hectic and adventurous trip I could tell.
Oh well. I am still considering if I should buy myself a return ticket to Singapore this weekend. I know I have screwed things up, and I know what I should do. This trip to Indonesia made me realized a lot of stuff, which its time for me to learn how to appreciate. Yet, I still do not have time to sort things out with you, but I would love to do it as soon as possible. We do have communication problems but I wanna make things right. I hope I have made the righteous choice to treat you with my heart! I have so much in mind I wanna share with you. Wait for my call, hunny :D
Anyway, more pictures are on its way. For now, I have to go to bed :)) Working toms ! FML! Read more...
It was Cambodia the year last... and this year would be Indonesia. It might sound super near but I believe we will be able to come home with a lot of fantastic photos :) Anyway, will update when I get back. =)
A sunny yet boring Sunday. Aida decided to head for Laksa Balik Pulau. I know my beloved Bee would love it :) Reminds me of freezing those soup the night before I head to see him in Singapore. I do that all the time!
The mad woman :)
and the mad woman's buddy!
Yumssss . . . Can you imagine I have been carrying laksa to Singapore each time I go? Quick! Tell me you adore me :)
Ice nutsss...
The view over at Balik Pulau is tremendous! The next time when he comes over, I'll bring him here :) I promise.
LOL! The cow somewhat reminded me of Bee.
Hot yet tiring. Guess what? We got back to Aida's place and decided to learn from her how to make pancakes :)) I managed to. Indeed I managed to make a heart-shaped pancake! Teehee. Now I can make one for his coming birthday :))
P/S: Happy Moniversary, Beee! Surprises coming your way :D Read more...
We did a lot of walking this trip and there are a lot of things I encountered, which at the same time, I found that they are way more creative than we do!
The pink van attracted me! Yea! How I wish I have a pink caravan which I can use it to travel around. Plus, Mr.BF loves pink too! Eat,sleep, shit in the van! LOL
Part of the Christmas deco. A rabbit-shaped plant!
The weather was hot and dry. It wasn't humid and it got me really lethargic after a day of walking.
Mum and dad did not take picture with their kids but with the snowman! *jealous*
Imagine, when we see Altis here, we go "woahhh"! Altis there is "WOW", cuz of the colours! The first thing I requested was to hop into a PINK cab when we reached Bangkok.
Bee owns a BLACK Altis but I find PINK ones are pretty attractive!
MBK's Xmas deco!
One thing I found kinda interesting but am afraid of . . .
Doesn't it look so real?!
I just can't believe at times people can be so creative and talented!
Xherlyn got herself a cockroach :)) Stay away from her you people :)
How time flies! Its another year now and Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Can't wait for our next back-packing trip to Indonesia. LOL. There are so many things planned ahead for this year and I hope am able to keep everything on track.
New Year Eve was a blast and New Year is great too. Great times with superb companions. Believe me, it was great! Thought New Year Eve get together was enough for the weekend until i got so sick of staying at home when Elvin asked me out! He proposed Sunset and the nicest thing was he came over to pick me up. What a lucky head start! Such a gentleman. *teehee*
I cam-whored with Elvin's phone. Bet he would use this picture as his wallpaper :))
Had Banana Split . . . and the banana was effen hard! I look as if I was completely nude! I know :))
[*Elvin & I]
I had the same exact thing the night before :))
First time hanging out with these bunch of people! Pretty interesting and I want more.
TC was cranky! He went nuts!
Ermmm . . .I was told he is named Raymond! LOL
This is what I meant by TC going NUTS!
Sex On The Beach! Simply like the name :))
Sometimes, work stress leads to a lot of things . . .
I think its time for a haircut! Anyway, it was great hanging out with these bunch of fellas! Besides, I was all alone at home as everyone has dinner to attend!
and I shall end my entry with more of TC :))
Tralalala! Happy New Year folks! Have a great year ahead! XD
Its finally the last day of the year! I can't believe that myself too. Did the earth spin slightly faster? I don't wanna grow older! Rwar! I was effen tired right after work. Left work around 7 plus, headed home and landed on my bed right away! I was informed to meet the Ai(s) at OXO tonight. Goshhh! Xmas at OXO, New Year also the same. =="
It took us effen hard to find ourselves a lot to park. At the end, we had to walk extremely far. What a work out on new year's eve! Did not take much photos though. It was effen packed at Queensbay and the fireworks lasted about 5 minutes only. I know! I was so disappointed! *sigh* I was chillin' with a bunch of friends. To my surprise, Satkuru and Angeline came. :)
Ended up we chill till about 2am when I was feeling sleepy. What a New Year! I don't see Jan 1st but Jan 4th! I am NOT ready!
Don’t remember what time I slept the night before. Dozed off while I was repeating Ne-Yo’s “Together” on my pink iPod. I have assigned this song to Richard whenever he calls me on my mobile. At least I managed to have a better rest this time, but din really sleep well too. I got up at 4 in the morn, washed up and looked out of the window. Random thoughts again … “What if there’s a lady in white with long hair stands in the middle of the railway?” Of course I don’t wish for one, but “WHAT IF?” ! Then I continued sleeping.
In the midst of my sleep, I heard a voice calling me, thinking that I was still in my dreams but no. My mum was yelling my name as she din know which bunk I was. Waking up in Thailand ==” FML and knowing not which part to be exact! Dad ordered breakfast for me. I am probably the last to get up. I wish I could sleep in till 12pm but its bumpy and noisy too! Breakfast cost 90baht each. Nothing fantastic. I can make better ones!
We reached PakTho at 9.25pm and headed to Bothakro, and yet we were few hours away from Bangkok. I was sitting alone with my earphones and dad came by which we ended up talking about my career, as I just completed my Degree. I was kinda reluctant, thought I’ll be able to have a break from work and study finally, and again, I was wrong. Tried so hard to change the topic but he insisted and eager to know while I was enjoying the view of paddy field while repeating Kylie Minogue’s “Especially For You”. I told him, one day, I might move in into a village and enjoy a kampong life. Sounds great isn’t it? Maybe I can puff at my verandah, barbeque at my front yard with a few buffalos staring my way.
I dozed off, again. Finally, we got to Bangkok at 12.20pm!
We were hungry!
Antique!
Initially when we reached, the ticket counter were empty.
The little one was rather excited. The first thing we did after getting off the train was to search for the Ticket Counter, wanting to get our return ticket. Trying so hard to communicate with them as most of them still do not speak English. The next thing, I was told that train ticket sold out! WTF! I need to get back by Monday! Checked with the travel agent and I was told that flight tickets are SOLD OUT too! Last resort was to catch the bus, which I will be heading home a day earlier that the rest. Being a seasoned traveler, I am not afraid traveling alone. I hate waiting! I was told that it will take approximately about 18 hours to reach Penang! Another FML scenario! It was so hard for me for not swearing that time and I can’t do it in front of my parents! Efff emm elle! Anyway, I am left with no choice anyway but the bus.
The next thing after grabbing tickets was . . . FOOD! Oh, food glorious food.
Headed to The Black Canyon for pastries! Caught a cab which amazed me so much to our guest house. I was amazed by the colours of the cabs. They have PINK, ORANGE, GREEN, BLUE & PURPLE Toyota Altis as cabs! Mr BF has a BLACK Altis which I actually fancy the ones I saw here more than his! Sorry, hun! *just kidding*
MBK, which is one of the malls available, is just a fart away! I heart my sis so much for getting such close accom! My pocket is gonna hurt this time! There are so much to see, so much to buy. MBK was our starting point which we are able to walk from one mall to another! On top of that, the Christmas deco did not disappoint me at all.
The National Stadium
A little obscene =)
and I truly heart the pink bus!
I will have this as my signature from now on.
Ass diggin'.
Leg biter!
WELCOME TO BANGKOK, baybeh
Heart the Xmas deco so muchhh!
and we did our hard core shopping until tea! Dropped by at Dunkin Donuts! LOLOL!
so nice can!
I know you HEART me.
U know I HEART you.
I am so tempted to send this to Mr Ng :)) but by the time it reaches him, probably the entire thing is in another colour! aha
Yes! I have finally completed my final assignment and am ready to go. Nowhere far this time and Bangkok is D name. Honestly, I have not been to Bangkok and this would be my first. Daddy got really sick of it but we got excited when we were told that we are heading there for the weekend. It’s a week before Christmas and I believe there will be really nice Christmas deco along the street in the city. Xherlyn got really excited as her main objective was not exactly to spend quality time with the family. Instead, she actually bought the ticket to watch Miyavi live in Bangkok; a fan meeting session. When she told me, I was amazed. I never have some celebrity that I adore that much! Right. Happy for her that she finally met him once (at least) in her life time. LOL
Managed to capture a few pics at the railway!
Well, this time, we decided to catch the train. I know! Superbly long ass aching journey! But since Wendy made the call, hence we pleased her this time. Okayy. Probably just this time! Thinking of the (approximate) 22 hours journey really did freaked me out totally! TOTALLY! I was thinking to myself, what if the train breaks down? That will take more than an effen day to reach Bangkok! No way! If you are wondering, the train ticket cost RM102 one way, from Butterworth to Bangkok but cost a bit higher (approximately RM152 for the return ticket from Bangkok back to Butterworth). I might consider taking the train to Singapore one day. Haha!
and YES! I reached Bangkok safely in this metal box!
I felt as if I left a part of me in Penang, again… the same thing happened when the last time I went Singapore. Something which I won’t ask myself why. Chose not to know what’s the reason. I seriously know not how to live without the internet! Fortunate to have a phone which am able to reply some mails and check on my Facebook! I know! I am a Facebook addict! Don’t have to remind me that. LOL. I, randomly camwhored in the train and decided to post it up on FB which it managed to fetch a number of comments at the end of the day! LOL.
Anyway, we departed at 2.20pm from Butterworth. It was kinda interesting an adventurous at first. It would be nice if I have a boy around to travel with. ROFL. (Something which I have been wishing for all these while. *hint hint*) The last time I took the train was at least 5 years ago when I took the train from Arau during when I was serving for National Service.
Anyway, I thought we would probably reach at least the Thai border by dusk but I was so wrong ==” wtf! We were only at Padang Besar by dusk and finally reaching a small town named Khlong Ngae at 7.25pm. I slept a few times, got up a few times, yet we were still way far from Bangkok. Worst of all, dinner sucks big time ! FML!
Well, the long journey did not do much harm. During the journey, there were a lot of things which crossed my mind. Everything which had happened this year probably make me wiser *hopefully* and it will be remain as the past. As soon as it strikes 10pm, the attendant came making up our bunks for us. I slept far away from my parents, at another far end near an American couple. Honestly, I envy what I saw.
I remember I was missing someone so badly when I was trying so hard to sleep!
Some got themselves ready to rest, some were still playing cards, and some were snoring away. I can’t really sleep, which led me to blog through my phone. As soon as I was on roaming, phone calls keep coming in and I received SMSes from some friends, which I decided not to answer as it will cost me a bomb if I do so.
I know this trip wouldn’t be close to any hard core trips, probably taking it as one for me to take a breakaway from home. *sigh* Its gonna be a hardcore shopping trip!
Merry Christmas!(and I shall save the HAPPY NEW YEAR wish when it draws nearer.) I know I have not been blogging for long. Thanks to my uber hectic schedule. I left for Bangkok on a family trip last week, right after I submitted my final assignment. On the bright note, I have officially completed my degree and am stepping into my second phase of life soon.
This song has been spinning in my head: Last Christmas I gave you my heart, the very next day, you gave it away.. this year to save me from tear, I give it to someone special... ♥
Christmas eve was great and one of my brilliant Ai(s) decided on hiking on a Christmas morning, which the rest of us were quite reluctant. All lazy bums! Alright, she dropped us an e-mail few days back, proposing the idea with no responds from the recipients. Stayed up slightly later than I should, and hence, I was very reluctant to get off my bed this morning, plus, my alarm did not ring! But well, Aizat dropped me a buzz at 7.16am (another reluctant bum) and there we go, I ended up doing the morning call to wake the other two. Initially, Aida mentioned going at 7am which in the end, we arrived at 8.30am. Gosh, looking at the path going up the hill made me so unwilling to carry on. Now I sound really lazy.
I remember wishing for a boyfriend this Christmas but Santa did not grant my wish. Instead, he presents me THREE!
Since Aida insisted to and it has been quite some time I last hiked, I might as well take this as a "warm up" session for my trip to Indonesia in 3 weeks; thinking of it is making me rather excited now. At the same time, its time for distress for someone :)
I was indeed reminded not to tag him on Facebook! ROFL!
I enjoyed myself. At least I managed to take a few pictures around.
The Air Itam Dam
Someone started complaining that his legs hurts. It simply made him sounded like an old man who has been paralyzed for years and managed to walk again after that. The entire way going up took us approximately 40 minutes including a short rest, rantings and all the complaints about how tough the hike is. What to do?! We shouldn't be expecting anything positive from this bunch of "old folks" who have not been exercising since God knows when! Indeed, despite the rants, we did laugh our way up. Sounded a bit loco but I enjoyed the moments we shared on a Christmas morn, instead of waking up in a comfy pajamas looking for presents under the Christmas tree.
Look at the lil' Mickey!
I seriously can't resist posting this picture! This lil' Ai is "oh-so-cute"!
Kindergarden kids going for a hike!
A simple gift from me to my Ai(s) this Christmas! XD I turned everyone into Mickey!
Got them from Bangkok. I wanted to get the black one for all but only one black left :( The last black now is on lil' Ai.
Sometimes, its nice being kiddo too :)
Merry Christmas folks :) Hope you had a great one like I do.
Yes! I decided to stay put this year. Hence, Christmas would be with the one who matters :) Have been celebrating Christmas in Singapore for two consecutive years and I think its time to do it here this time despite the fantabulous Christmas decos in Singapore, I would give it a missed this year. Besides, I have seen nice ones in Bangkok :) I totally did not regret the idea of staying put. More laughter this year.
[Paulaner]
Finally, after so many Christmas, I finally managed to do the countdown with my sis and not to be forgotten, her BF as well.
On top of that, I have my betina with me too!
The guy with the smallest eyes is trying to act macho :)
I think my eyes are smaller than Xherlyn! FML.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
No comment =="
I had a great time! Though it wasn't that happening :)
The reason I rushed home from Bangkok was to attend the Christmas lunch with a group of my colleagues. Honestly, I do not know most of them but this lunch session allowed me to mingle. Most of them do not know me in person but they know the existence of Emily Chong who kept on replying their e-mails.
The idea of exchanging gifts made me really excited. (Yea, right!) Each of us were supposed to attend with a present in hand for exchange purposes. Then, we were supposed to describe ourselves on a post-it note for the recipient to guess the one who bought the present.
Guess what?! I described myself as VAIN & LOW PROFILE! I think the person who received it would be having a hard time guessing :)
It was held at Jerejak Room. Oh, well. There were at least 17 presents in total.
Some sponsored cupcakes.
and I helped my cubicle mate to describe herself. Imagine if her boss reads it, I'll be dead.
Some sponsored sparkling juice...
and each and every of us received a candy :)
Shirlyn brought us jelly.
I find the Christmas deco to be rather cute and hence I can't resist to have a few shots of it.
Some described themselves really well, which at the end of the day even though the clue is rather obvious, I still do not know who it is =="
I think she will kill me if she sees me posting up this picture :)
Buffet lunch!
and . . . . *drum roll* this pressie is mine!
Such a huge box! and I can't stop laughing when the box states . . . "Electrostatic Sensitive Devices"! LOL!
Guess what?! The Electrostatic item is :
OMG! Its simply "oh-so-cute" can!
While LC received mine =)
Ermmm . . . the CUPCAKE!
LOL! I had a splendid time and as promised, I will put this up on FB and tag each and everyone of you. *ngek ngek ngek*
