365 Days Of Memory : Day 94 - Always 17

2011-04-04T18:50:00.005+08:00

I shall remember this date whenever I'm sipping my bubble jelly tea or iced lemon tea.

This is what happened this morning :

I was too tired working in front of my computer from 8A.M. till almost 12 noon without giving my eyes and muscles any rest. So I had decided to take a break, since my stomach is "crying" for bubble jelly tea at the time. And without thinking any further, I dragged my feet headed to the school's canteen. (There ain't any students in the canteen in this hour since their recess time had already over.)

I picked this Canteen A because they have bubble jelly tea (We got altogether 3 canteens in the school). And I have to admit it, I only pay a visit to the canteen once a while during my 6 years of employment in the school. So, I won't blamed anyone of them if they don't know that I'm actually a staff from the school.

So, below is the conversation in between me with one of the Canteen A's worker :

Me: Hello, may I have a cup of bubble jelly tea, please ???

Worker A: *Staring at me from head to tail* Recess time is over, student cannot buy food and drink in this hour.

Me: *Smiled at her* (MUTE MODE)

Worker B: (She knows I'm actually staff of the school) She is not a student.

Worker A: *Shocked with mouth opened wide* I'm sorry, our bubble jelly tea is out of stock.

Me: It's ok, a bottle of Iced lemon tea then. *Throwing a smile back* (But in my mind saying "Hello, I'm in my working clothes and not with my school uniform, please.")

Haha.... I think this is the 3rd case already people miss-judged me by my look and my height (150cm). Not bad huh ??? 17/18 years old look in a late 20's years old's body. LOL !!! Will share with you all, my other 2 stories next time. Good day!!!

365 Days Of Memory : Day 68 - 1,800 Versus 18,000

Urgh....!!!! So finally I can blow out all my bad gases now. What a big relief for me at last. The guests who were came all the way from National University of Singapore (NUS) for their short visit to our school and doing research on our local's culture in our school's library had left us. Whenever there are visitors about to visit, the whole school is like "attacked" by a massive "Tsunami". Everyone was busy like for the whole week with a return of 15 mins "Stop By" by the guests.

Since I had been told early on that the guest was a Chinese. And they might more focusing on the Chinese section (My section) . So, I need to navigate and give explanation to them. Along the entire process, I had made a silly mistake due to my sudden nervous. Honestly, I seldom speak in public where thousand pairs of eyes staring at me at one times.

To cut it short, here is the part of conversation where I made a mistake while navigating the guests with the accompany of few library teachers touring around the bookshelves :

Me : There you go, Sir!!! Here are our bookshelves..... bla....bla.... bla...

(Stopping by Chinese section)

Guest A : How many books do you have in the whole library ?? (With a serious face)

Me : Around 1,800, Sir. (Nervous mode on + an "Oh no!!!!" face)

(Straightaway knowing that I had made a mistake, I re-corrected my statement right after we (me and another library teacher) thrown an eye contact to each other.)

Guest A : 1,800 ??

Me : Yes, Sir. 1,800 for Chinese books only as for the whole library, we have around 18,000. *PHEW!!!!* That was close!!!!

Dang me!!!! How can I messed up 1,800 with 18,000 ??? Just because a "o" , it's already a big gap there. Hope I wont be repeating my mistake again in future.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 39 - My New Boyfriend

2011-02-08T22:29:00.005+08:00

Seriously, I'm not those kind of girlish girl who will drag along Barbie dolls with me wherever I go. But, I do have a collection of soft dolls which they had been sharing a single bed size with me for the past 8 years. So now, let me introduce my "boyfriends" to all of you:

TOP LEFT

Lil' Piggie (1# Boyfriend) - A gift from my buddy (Imelda) & ex-colleague (Tommy) during the first year on my first job.

TOP RIGHT

Mr. Garfield (The love of my life ) - A birthday present from my buddy (Imelda).

BOTTOM LEFT

Bob Bob - Bought it myself during my family trip to Kuala Lumpur few years ago.

BOTTOM RIGHT

Lil' Doggie (My current boyfriend now) - Just got it today from my friend (Winx). And it was actually my 28th birthday's gift in 2010. (Half years ago. Hahaha.... But only I got it today.)

There you go.... All my "Boyfriends". Ain't they all handsome ??? Heh... Heh...

365 Days Of Memory : Day 38 - Red Envelope From Colleague

2011-02-07T15:35:00.003+08:00

Gah......!!! First day of school, it's never been a good feeling for me, no matter during my time studied in the school few years back, or back to school for my working life currently. The feeling of being lazy to drag my body up for school ten years ago and ten years later now still the same. The only different now is, I got extra red envelope when I got back to school during Lunar Chinese New Year, which I won't get it ten years ago as a student. Heh... Heh... Thank you !!! "Mr. Johny Walker" for the red envelope :D

365 Days Of Memory : Day 37 - Chinese New Year's Gathering Around

2011-02-06T23:30:00.012+08:00

Festive seasons like Lunar Chinese New Year is a very good time for us to gather around and reunite again with friends who had been apart or seldom keep in touch in our everyday life. Since yesterday, I managed to meet up with all of my tea-cuppers and high schoolmates who came back for Chinese New Year Celebration all the way from West Malaysia. We did had a great tea-gathering and unforgettable experience with double house-raiding just within 2 hours in a night.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 36 - Runny Nose

2011-02-05T23:49:00.009+08:00

Gahh...... "Runny Nose" Why are you chasing after me in this festive season ??? :(

*HUTCHOO!!!*

365 Days Of Memory : Day 35 - When Doggie Meets Rabbit

2011-02-04T23:52:00.007+08:00

When doggie meets rabbit ?? Have you ever think that what will happen ??

So here is the Zodiac prediction in the year of Rabbit. It happened that this year is a good year for those who was borne in the year of Dog.

Expect a generally good year ahead with no major problems. Though that doesn't mean you don't need to take heed of some risks that may crop up. Keep an eye out just in case. That said, enjoy good fortune as it comes your way. Career-wise, your outlook is pretty sunny and you will also enjoy good relations with the people at work.

Relationship:

• A good year for single Dogs to meet interesting and desirable people - why not make the most of it?

• It's also a good year to get married for those in a serious relationship.

Health:

• Be extra careful when you are out and about, especially when traveling or even driving, as there is potential for physical injuries.

• Focus on a balanced diet and plenty of exercise throughout the year.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 34 - Vegetarian Day

2011-02-03T22:44:00.006+08:00

Gong Hey Fatt Choy !! To all my Chinese readers out there. How's your re-union dinner last night?? Well, I do had a bountiful dinner with all my family members, nice gathering with all my relatives who had came down to the city once a year.

As a tradition for the Chinese, we usually had this vegetarian dish (Yesh!!! You can't find any single piece of meat in this pot. Not even one :D) during the first day of Lunar Chinese New Year.

What Do We Have Inside The Pot ??? (Ingredients)

1. Vermicelles (Much more similar to rice noodles)

2. Mushrooms

3. Bean curd

4. Yuba

5. Jujube

And some others ingredients too. The taste is simply delicious.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 33 - Reunion Dinner

2011-02-02T22:58:00.006+08:00

"Gong Hey Fatt Choy" to all the people around the globe who is celebrating Lunar Chinese New Year. It seems I like to greet people with this phrases this year.

How is everybody's reunion dinner?? I did had a bountiful reunion dinner tonight. Let me share a bit about how my new year eve like. As you can see the above diagram : (Gosh!! It took me few hours to combine these photos into one, since I just learned it and this is my second product of combining photos) But still not bad, huh :D

Grapefruit Leaves For Shower : I believe that in most Chinese families still practicing this custom so did my family either. Which some grapefruit leaves taken and boil, and the-after-boiled water been used to cleanse their body. The Chinese peoples believe that, by doing this act, it will washed away all the bad luck that they gained in previous year and bring good luck to them in the coming year.

Reunion Dinner : A reunion dinner is held on New Year's Eve of the Chinese New Year, which family members get together to celebrate. As for my family, we used to have our reunion dinner in one of my auntie's house. And we used to have two tables (The first table were seated by the elders, and the second were seated by the younger generations like us.) This year, dad had cooked us additional Crispy Duck dish.

Tang Yuan : Tang Yuan is a Chinese food made from glutinous flour. Glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water. Tang Yuan can be either small or large, and filled or unfilled. They are traditionally eaten during Yuan Xiao, or the Lantern Festival. For many Chinese families in mainland China as well as overseas, Tang Yuan is usually eaten together with family. The round shape of the balls and the bowls where they are served, come to symbolize the family togetherness. At the same time, cousins bought a cheese cake either. Ghee!!! Tang Yuan eat with cheese cake what a fatty combination.

Firecrackers : According to tales and legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against a mythical beast called the Nian. Nian would come on the first day of New Year to devour livestock, crops, and even villagers, especially children. To protect themselves, the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year. It was believed that after the Nian ate the food they prepared, it wouldn't attack any more people. One time, people saw that the Nian was scared away by a little child wearing red. The villagers then understood that the Nian was afraid of the colour red. Hence, every time when the New Year was about to come, the villagers would hang red lanterns and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. People also used firecrackers to frighten away the Nian. From then on, Nian never came to the village again. The Nian was eventually captured by Hongjun Laozhu, an ancient Taoist monk. The Nian became Hongjun Laozu's mount. Aha....!!! This is my two nephews and amongst of our cousins' favorite moment. It did bring us back to our time when firecrackers has not been banned yet. Now our younger generations only managed to play with fireworks but no more firecrackers for them like we used to play in our time. We were lucky though, we could see somebody is putting up some sky lanterns as well. It's my first time to see so many sky lanterns in one time, they were just like a bunch of fireflies. It's so beautiful.

Red Envelopes : Red envelopes are mainly presented at social and family gatherings such as the Lunar Chinese New Year. Red envelopes are handed out to younger generations by their parents, grandparents, relatives and even close neighbors and friends during Chinese New Year. And tonight, we got ours either :D

I'm hereby, wishing all my friends and my readers out there,

"GONG HEY FATT CHOY"

And may the year of "Rabbit" will bring all of us a bountiful blessings.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 32 - More Medicines For Me

2011-02-01T22:50:00.004+08:00

Just started up my second bottle of prunes taste medication. More *YUCKS!!!* for the second bottle. It doesn't taste like prunes anymore this time. The taste enough making me puke a lot.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 31 - Popcorn & Movie Night

2011-01-31T23:51:00.010+08:00

*BURP* Ooops.....Sorry :D Stomach was bloated with popcorn. Had my first movie session of the year with a bunch of ex-high schoolmates. Overall, popcorn was delicious, movie was good though (I love the explosion scenes in the movie very much, It was the most beautiful explosion scenes I had ever seen.), but I was shivering all night long even though I had my jacket covered up my body. The air-condition system inside the theater seems full blast. We managed to bump with 2 of our ex-high schoolmates too (Jonathan and Julius).

To: Tina, Koch, Orman and Collin,

Thanks a lot and It's been a great night to catch up with you guys. :D

365 Days Of Memory : Day 30 - Huuuugee...!!! Lollipop.

2011-01-30T20:58:00.007+08:00

Found this slightly bigger than a baseball sized of lollipop selling in a store, when I was at the airport's arrival hall, waiting to pick up my sister who is coming back for Lunar Chinese New Year. It cost about RM60 each. Wow!!!! I had never seen such a huge lollipop in my life before. I only managed to hold the lollipop up with both of my hands.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 29 - Cotton Candies

2011-01-29T23:47:00.007+08:00

Oh gosh!!! Lots of cotton candies for Lunar Chinese New Year. This reminds me of those dipped in a "Fountain Of Chocolate"I had during my visit to a Christmas Bazaar at downtown Christmas last year. It's so yummylicious.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 28 - Library Alone (Part 2)

2011-01-28T22:07:00.004+08:00

Second day of my library alone experience. Thank God!!! Nothing special happened such like "Little Casper - The Friendly Ghost Came To Visit". I was sitting on my chair in front of my working desk trying to finish up my unfinished job before I start my Lunar Chinese New Year holiday few days later. It's pretty boring indeed.

Thus, I grabbed my camera out of my purse and started to play with it. Actually I was thinking to take a stroll around the small Chinese Garden which located in front of another building. But looks like I was forbidden by the bad weather and ended up locking myself up in this cozy room.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 27 - Library Alone (Part 1)

2011-01-27T23:25:00.006+08:00

It was the first day of the school annual sport day today. The school had booked one of the stadium in town, since our own stadium still under-construction. I was just nested in my library all alone since I don't have to be on duty this year. Whereby, my other 4 colleagues had their duty each.

I had never like to be alone. especially in the library. You almost can hear all kind of creepy voices like someone is flipping the books on the bookshelves or unlock the sliding door. And today I came across of receiving 2 strange texts. Well, it's more like the sender sending he/her text to a wrong recipient, and I knew it was from a teacher.

There you go... Translation I had made for the Malay text into English text:

Picture #1 (left) - "Red Crescent Society's members haven't get their breakfast??"

Picture #2 (right) - "Lunch box for Red Crescent Society's members is ready, come and claim it."

I wondered who sent these texts ?? I had got no replies from the sender when I text them back asking who is on the line. Gosh !!! Let's hope there won't be any weird happening on my second day of library alone tomorrow.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 26 - Boo, The Vitamin C "Distributor".

2011-01-26T23:54:00.008+08:00

Told you earlier on, I'm as multipurpose as I'm used to be. This minute, I'm might be a books-keeper. But the next minute, I had transformed myself into "Goddess Fortuna", who was busy with job on distributing mandarin oranges.

Vitamin C, anyone ??? An orange a day, keep the doctor away :D

365 Days Of Memory : Day 25 - I Love You, Mr. Plaster !!!

2011-01-25T22:00:00.008+08:00

Dear Mr. Plaster,

Now that I had falling in love with you,

You cured my cuts on my finger,

You stopped the bleeding,

You protected me from feeling pain,

While I still can enjoying my shower,

While I still can enjoying my dish-washing,

You protected my finger from becoming disfigured.

I love you, Mr. Plaster :D

365 Days Of Memory : Day 24 - I Cut Myself Again

2011-01-24T19:38:00.004+08:00

Ouch!!! Ya-Ba-Da-Ba-DooOoo....!!! *Screamed like Flinstone*

This is my second times of the month since I'd been "bitten" by A4 size paper this morning at my workplace. It's not funny, that I nearly screamed almost every time my finger exposed to the water, due to the slightly bleeding and skin peeled off. So the better solution is, to hide it under "Mr. Plaster". Let's hope that it won't disfigured then.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 23 - Ridiculous

2011-01-23T19:05:00.007+08:00

Ok, I know it's pretty ridiculous, to have a shower gel as a shampoo for your hair wash. Well, I did it by mistake today. Since the two bottles were sitting next to each other. Urgh...... and my hair smelled like Dettol now. It's not just killing my dandruff, but the bacterias get killed at the same time too.

Lesson To Learn:

"Never ever placed your shower gel and shampoo together, or else your hair will smelled like Dettol." :P

365 Days Of Memory : Day 22 - My "Firfle" Color Pouch

2011-01-22T23:26:00.006+08:00

So, yesterday all of you had seen my new external hard disc. Just as when I thought where could I get a "nice place" for "HIM" to stay in. Right after someone suggested me to go and check at Daiso (Which is a famous store selling all kind of Japanese stuffs), I had actually spotted this :

Can you guess what is this "Firfle" pouch originally for ??? Tada!!!! Well, it's actually a pouch for glasses. Hmm..... Nowadays, those optic shops using this kind of pouch for their customers' glasses, instead of those solid glasses case.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 21 - Now That All My Photos Got Their New Home

2011-01-21T23:43:00.006+08:00

Aha.....!!! At last......!!! My external hard disc is here which I asked my sister to get one for me that cost me around RM199. The first item I'd invested my money this year. Next item will be a second hand DSLR camera which cost me around RM1,500. *Saving $$-ing still in progress........*

Finally all my photos and movies got their "New Home" already. Pity for them to squeeze themselves like sardines in my drive D all this while.

*Oh dear!!! My poor photos and movies, poor drive D, poor lappy. Now that you get your freedom back".

365 Days Of Memory : Day 20 - Beh Tahan

2011-01-20T22:56:00.007+08:00

*Look at the clock* It's only 10:56PM. Well, unlike other days of me, who can stay awake until midnight. But tonight I got to surrender. My body is weary and my eyelids are hard to lift up.

Looks like my 3 little friends here: Piggy (Hm.... I think little Piggy needs a shower), Garfield and Spongebob is calling me to play with them in the "Boo Boo's Dream Theme Park ".

GOOD NIGHT WORLD :D

BEH TAHAN LER!!!

365 Days Of Memory : Day 19 - Called me Ms. Hiew, I'm not Ms. Miew

2011-01-19T23:13:00.006+08:00

Wadda ???? This year is the seventh year since I'm working as a books-keeper in the school's library. At the same time, this year is the seventh year they spelled my name wrongly in the school year book as well. Pretty disappointed though, how come they can spell my name wrongly and never did an amendment for their mistake, even though I told them to do correction every year. I so not like that "MIEW" sound. It's sounded like a cat making a "MEOW" sound :( pretty annoying.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 18 - Cold & Hot

2011-01-18T20:22:00.001+08:00

It's been raining non-stop since last year. Every night the temperature seems dropped like "roller-coaster". So did my body temperature as well. How I wish I could have a nice cup of warm chocolate to ease my body temperature down.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 17 - "Monster" Invasion

2011-01-17T22:53:00.006+08:00

*Everybody, let's unite together !!!!!!* "Prepared yourself flamethrower cos a monster called "Nian" is about to invade our "Kennel" in just two weeks time.*

Haha... Just kidding.

Well, the footsteps of the Lunar Chinese New Year is getting closer. But it's seems I don't even have the festive's spirit, not even a bit honestly. Probably been busy with my work ever since the school had started with a new semester. Seriously, I need a space to breathe.

As usual, no matter what sort of festivities, usually there will be a decoration moment in the library done by my "monkeys". So this year, in conjunction with the upcoming Lunar Chinese New Year, my "monkeys" purposely placed a musical unicorn toy facing exactly in front of my working desk.

Seriously, it's not funny and pretty annoying when most of my "monkeys" played with it by turning on the music mode. And the "Master Wong" theme sounded. I guess I will have to bear the sound pollution while waiting for Chap Goh Mei takes it's place . Oh no!!!! My nightmare has just started!!!!

365 Days Of Memory : Day 16 - Familiar And Unfamiliar

2011-01-16T23:34:00.003+08:00

Boys and girls,

How many of you do have someone to be called "Bosom Friend" on your own?? Well, I do have to admit that I got plenty of "Old Buddy", "Hi-Bye" friends, "Not-So-Close" friends, "Friend-With-A-Purpose" kind of friends surrounding me.

But this morning I bumped up with one of my high school's friend. A friend that influenced me a lot during my teenage life.

A friend that who protected me in any situations.

A friend that who always lent an ears whenever I'm in downside.

A friend that who stretched out her hands whenever I fell down.

A friend that who qualified to be called a "Bosom Friend".

A friend that who held my hands every time we meet up. (Exactly like Anne Shirley & Diana Barry in "Anne Of Green Gable")

It's been more than 10 years, since our last meet up. The feeling of "Familiar and Unfamiliar" of being holding each other hands again is kinda weird but sweet for me.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 15 - The Joy Of Reading

2011-01-15T23:47:00.006+08:00

Being a books keeper for almost 7 years now. I bet most of you will think that I'd probably already read a mountain of books. But to tell the truth, not really. Since most of the time, I spent in books processing, dealing with "Monkeys". This and that. It's hardly to settle myself down for reading even only a page of book.

But, last year I'd been tempted by this series of books, which is The "Twilight Saga" by Stephenie Meyer. (Blamed it to the movie, but I still prefer reading the book instead of watching the movies because the acting was kinda boring)

Somehow, I got myself one whole collection of the books. And because some reasons, I had stopped my reading halfway on the second book - "New Moon". So this year, I plan to pick up the books and start my reading again.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 14 - Three Goals Of The Year

2011-01-14T22:59:00.003+08:00

Just a blink of eyes, it was already the fourteen days since the new year.

Early of new year I had set myself 3 goals :

GOAL #1 : BLOGGING

This is how my idea of "365 Of Memory" blog post emerged. (Blog frequently) So next time, don't be curious if you see me taking pictures almost everywhere anytime. Cos it is part of my goal for "365 Days Of Memory" mission.

GOAL #2 : KEEPING MYSELF A PERSONAL PLANNER

If you are one of the people who are contacting me always (mostly in my workplace), you might notice that there is always a black thin note book with me. Aha..... That's it!!!! A book to remind me with my schedule of the day. A book to keep me on track in my "Daily Bible Reading".

GOAL #3 : DAILY BIBLE READING

I did this almost every of the beginning for the years, but usually I will give up halfway easily. That's why I need a personal planner to keep me in routine.

Let's hope that I can fulfill all of my goals until the end of the year.

"GO!!! GO!!! GO!!!"

365 Days Of Memory : Day 13 - Herbal Jelly

2011-01-13T22:16:00.004+08:00

*Blek* Auron Declan...... Nah !!!

Herbal jelly not only for you, I got mine as well. :D (Although, mine's from Taman Foh Sang, but the taste is definitely comparable with those selling at Petaling Street) Heh... Heh....

Oh my gosh!!! I think I had been pushing myself too much to finish up tonnes of works which is still pending in my hand lately. Stop pushing me, will you??? People often think that being a librarian is such an easy task. Well, please never judge it until you yourself experienced it. Only for those who put their hands on it, knows exactly where is the "Joy" and where is the "Stress" is.......

Tears behind a smile, no one will know.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 12 - I Hate Medication

2011-01-12T18:41:00.005+08:00

Wasting almost half of my day sitting inside Urology Clinic while waiting the nurse just about to find out my case note today, in returned with just a ten minutes or perhaps fifteen minutes of meeting up with my Urologist is not funny. (Seriously, nurses at the Urology Department have to make an effort to upgrade their quality of service)

So today I went to meet my Urologist to see what he has to say regarding my ultrasound report which I did last Monday. He made a double confirmed that there is a renal stone measuring 0.4cm grown in my right kidney. His suggestion was asking me to take a three months of medication in syrup formed followed by consuming of three pills the night before I'm proceeding my X-ray in July. (This is to ensure that the renal stone that grew inside my kidney shattered by itself) In case, the small calculus failed to be shattered out. They might perform a minor surgery.

Yucks........!!!!! I hate medication :(

By the way, before I end up my post for the day. Let me share with you two funny names I heard (only pronunciation not sure for the spelling) while I'm waiting in the clinic today. (Sorry to all my non-Malaysia readers, you might don't understand what are these two names mean, But I will translate it into English)

Funny Names Everywhere

1) Ayam Pandu (Chicken Driving)

2) Anjing Pondan (A Shemale Dog)

Thanks for reading :D

365 Days Of Memory : Day 11 - Hoorey !!! I'm Still A Farmer Anyway :D

2011-01-11T18:38:00.008+08:00

Last Sunday, I just blogged about the closing of the "Facebook" website this coming 15th March resource from the weeklyworldnews.com. But yesterday, I read about another statement came out from the local newspapers and Facebook itself through it's own page. By saying that they wont close down their website. So, that's means weeklyworldnews.com is turning the world upside down. What's their motives anyway???

Whatever motives it is, the founder had explained it and claimed that he won't closed down the site. So, that's mean I'm still a "farmer" after all. Hoorey!!!!!!! By the way I would like to say "Thank you" to Shaz (one of my Fb's friend) for teaching me how to make this print screen. "Thanks!!!! Friend :D"

365 Days Of Memory : Day 10 - Ultrasound

2011-01-10T22:20:00.007+08:00

"Cold!!! It's freaking cold!!! Until now I still can feel the cold inside the Ultrasound Room." *SHIVERING*

Done with my ultrasound today. Result ??? *BAD NEWS* The small calculus measuring 0.4cm which we encountered a year ago still playing around in my right kidney. A further explanation will be done by my Urologist this coming Wednesday. Let's hope there's a solution to get rid this calculus.

Oh ya, the Ultrasound Department had moved to another new building. While I was waiting my turn to go inside the cozy room, something really caught my attention.

Can anyone tell me, what is this room for ???

365 Days Of Memory : Day 9 - A World Without Facebook

2011-01-09T21:58:00.007+08:00

Have you ever think about that what if Facebook suddenly disappeared from your life?? Can you live a life without Facebook??

According from an article I read this morning in weeklyworldnews.com, the founder is gonna shut his site down:

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th!

My first reaction was like "What!!! No more Farmville for me anymore ??? *Sob**Sob*

So, I guess everyone is gonna back to the basic again if the statement is true. (That's stick on Friendster, Myspace, Twitter or even Tagged.)

Do drop me your opinions and tell me what do you think about this matter.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 8 - "Monkeys", Let's Go Green. Shall We ???

2011-01-08T23:32:00.007+08:00

I bet working on a Saturday has always been not fun to everyone. (For you and for me either) Who would willing to wake up so early on weekends ?? As for me, I got no choice, since my working hour is 5 and a half days a week.

So here I'm this morning, still typing and rushing tonnes of students' data update in the library. got to finish it before the students can borrow books. While me and my colleague busy with our typing, on the other hand, some "monkeys" were doing their planting in the small garden led by their teacher in our little small garden outside the library.

They seems having so much fun.

Dear "monkeys",

It's fun for you all to get dirty once a while, Isn't it?? How about getting you all wet next time ?? Heh... Heh...

365 Days Of Memory : Day 7 - "Monkeys" Attack !!!

2011-01-07T21:15:00.003+08:00

*SCREAM* "Horeey !!!" Finally, weekend is here. It's been a stressful days for me over the past four days and today even exhausted enough to kill myself.

In conjunction with new semester of the school, the administration of our school had prepared an orientation weeks for the new students. In order to get these new students to adapt themselves to a new environment. One of the place that they need to explore is the library. (My department)

My goodness, the situation was like a bunch of monkeys been released from the zoo. It took us one whole morning given an hour of briefing for four batches of new students. Luckily, me and my colleague were only helping up the teacher in charge, whereby she was the one who briefed.

New "monkeys" in the zoo

P/S: Oh yes, remember what I'd promised yesterday ? "The Mystery Of The Bitten Plastic Flower" - Maybe the "murderer" realized that we gonna set a trap to trap it. In the end, it din't turn up after all. Booo!!!!!

365 Days Of Memory : Day 6 - Mystery Of A Bitten Plastic Flower

2011-01-06T20:16:00.006+08:00

So, we had been receiving few complaints saying that some of our plastic flowers which we decorated in our small garden outside the library been bitten by some unknown creatures lately. Thus, we are going to do an experiment to find out who is the "MURDERER". Our experiment as below:

Action: Placing a bouquet of flower near a staircase overnight (Which is facing the CCTV)

Well, let's see what will happen then in the next day......

365 Days Of Memory : Day 5 - Little Designer

2011-01-05T23:56:00.003+08:00

Haiz..... Yesterday, I forgot to lock one of the library's door and switched off one of the computer in the library. And today I left my camera in the library again. "Boo, oh Boo... Why are you so forgetful??" Haiz!!! (Thanks to my colleague - Charles for keeping the camera for me, otherwise I'm gonna lost it.)

Well, besides playing the role of "Book-Keeper" and "Lady of Photocopy". I'm too a "Designer" as well today. This year the library did a slightly re-shuffled. Instead of using the front door for "Entrance" and "Exit" purpose. We had separated it by using two doors. (Front door for "Entrance and another door for "Exit".) Due to most of the students get used to "enter" and "go out" using the front door, moreover there is only a "Exit" sign without a "Entrance" sign sticked in both doors.

So, I came out with this idea of requesting my head of department to help me out by asking somebody who is expert in making signboard to make one for the library. And yes, she agreed with my idea but I must came out with a sketch first. So there you go:

I'd spent the afternoon time to come out with this result. (With some adjustment made by my colleague - Charles)

So, how do you guys feel about my design? (Feel free to comment about it)

365 Days Of Memory : Day 5 - "Multi Purpose" VS "Mati Pupus"

2011-01-05T23:51:00.007+08:00

I bet most of you might be puzzling what does my blog post's title means ??? Well, for my foreign blog readers,here is the meaning of "Mati Pupus" (in Malay) means "off extinction". A common phrases that me and my ex colleagues used to call ourselves because of doing almost everything and anything out of our own major field.

And today, suddenly I reflected back to those situations in my previous job even though my current job didn't bring me to "Mati Pupus" level so often. But "yes" for today it did. Since school terms just started, everyone in the school was busy like hell.

Today I played another role besides as a "Book-Keeper". I'm a "Lady Photocopy" as well.

This morning, i went to the photocopy room to settle some photocopy matters. By the time I reached there, there isn't any staff in the room (usually there is one staff in the room), except a teacher named Mr. Antonius. He told me: "Well, help yourself." Oh my god, I'm totally a noob in handling those big machines. But thank god, he lent me a helping hand by taught me how to use those big machines. So there you go two reams altogether done.

After done with my photocopy, I'd to carry my two reams of materials back to library all by myself. (For your information, library and the photocopy room is located in two different separated buildings.) *SWEAT* But, thank God I met Mr. Azmie (Another nice teacher) who helped me assigned his students to help me carried my materials back to library. That's pretty save me a lot energy.

Thanks Mr. Antonius and Mr. Azmie. Both of you are truly a gentlemen :D

365 Days Of Memory : Day 4 - Self Done Urodynamic via Frequency/Volume Chart

2011-01-04T18:15:00.009+08:00

Stressssss.....!!!! Everything want fast, And I only have a brain, a pair of eyes and a pair of hand with a limited time. How ??? Ok, I have a confession to make today, I know I made a lot of mistakes at my workplace today. Everything seems not smooth for me today. My brain almost "tied up". Let's hope tomorrow I made no mistakes.

Well, gonna have my very first ultrasound and first medical check up at Urology Department for this year next week. Amongst the important reports that usually bring on the discussion desk during my appointment. (No matter I go for Urology or Neurology, these are the two departments that I'm still follow up with) Besides the usual blood test reports, urine test reports, ultrasound reports, my VP shunt checking by the doctor. There is one more important reports which is the "Frequency/Volume Chart" that I'm going to prepare before meeting my Urologist next week.

In medical perspective, they named it "Urodynamic Test". Urodynamic testing refers to the process of performing urodynamics. Urodynamics is a study that assesses how the bladder and urethra are performing their job of storing and releasing urine. Urodynamic tests help us to see how well our bladder and sphincter muscles work.

Well, do pray for me and let's hope the small echogenic foci measuring 0.4cm within the upper pole of my right kidney that had been discovered a year ago had gone with the winds.

P/S: Being commented by two peoples today, saying that I had been acted serious today. Well, I'm not serious but I'm just too concentrated with my pile of unfinished works and tried not to put myself into stress mode.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 3 - First Day Of School... "Traffic Jam" !!!

2011-01-03T23:00:00.003+08:00

Stuck in the middle of traffic jam for almost one an a half hours this afternoon. As my dad sent me back to school (my working place) around 2P.M. from lunch. It was another "Pouring Day" of the first day of school.

Let's hope there won't be any traffic congestion tomorrow.

365 Days Of Memory : Day 3 - My New "Kennel"

2011-01-03T20:02:00.005+08:00

"Wow !!! Wow !!! Grrrrr...... " *Little doggie got a new kennel this year. Heh... Heh...*

Oh man !! But shifting out my properties from my old "kennel" to my new "kennel" was a hectic missions. Another thing is - "PRIVACY". No more privacy for me!!! *Sob**Sob*

Note to the "monkeys" inside the "cage" next door:

Dear neighbor,

Please don't bully your new neighbor here.

Have mercy,

Your new neighbor :D

365 Days Of Memory : Day 3 - Did You Shrunk Your Feet ?

2011-01-03T18:24:00.004+08:00

Gahhhhhh..... Honestly to tell the truth, I'm still intoxicating inside my "Dream World" (Holiday). Even though, school terms had just started today. But no matter how??? Reality is real, got to get back to my "Real World". That's "Working, working and also working".

Today I wore a pair of special-made new shoes which I had re-made since last year and just collected yesterday. (Cos my old pair of shoes had been expanded since it was made out of leather).

Actually the size of this current shoes is one size smaller than my previous expanded shoes. I bet all of you already knew the reason why I ordered a smaller size now. Yes!!! Clever.... Cos It will "EXPANDED" anyway few months right after I wear on it.

Well, some kids from the school raised a question for me today. "Did you shrunk your feet??". I was like "Wadda ???" Heh... Heh...

365 Days Of Memory : Day 2 - Eau De Toilette

2011-01-02T23:00:00.005+08:00

Finally I got myself a bottle of "Eau De Toilette" (Perfume) from The Body Shop.

I had been thinking of getting myself a bottle of perfume that's suit me long ago. Yes!!! And I did it today. And it cost me around RM48. Love the smell of "Aqua Lily". :D

P/S: School is going to re-open tomorrow. Wish me luck in handling my library and meeting "The Monkeys" again. X(

2010-12-26T02:38:00.033+08:00

Saying goodbye to "Ho!!! Ho!!! Ho!!!" and let's welcome "Boxing Day". You guys might think that I'm crazy staying awake in such hour. *Look at the clock* It's 2:38a.m. in the morning of Boxing Day.

Greetings:

"Happy Boxing Day"

to the world

Well, I'm just got back from having my Christmas dinner with my friends at Clarence's Home Grill, Lintas. (Told you guys earlier on) and a relaxing moment chilled out at Starbucks, Warisan Square for a cup of Green Tea Frappuccino.

Clarence's Home Grill

Well, actually I'm still intoxicating in my own world enjoying delicious "Hawaiian Cheese Baked Chicken" at Clarence's Home Grill, sipping my favorite Starbucks' beverage - ice cool Green Tea Frappuccino and not forgetting this nice looking tall young Chinese guy (6 feet if I'm not mistaken) that I bumped at Starbucks' counter while I was waiting for my drinks and pay my bill. He did really caught my attention towards him, because his look like one of those ABC (American Born Chinese) *BLUSH* Heh... Heh...

Altogether, there were 9 of us dined at Clarence's Home Grill for the night. Calvin and Winx couldn't joined us for the night cos Winx was sick and Calvin had to play the important role by being a caring man who will taking care of his girlfriend when she is not feeling well. (Poor dear little sister, get well soon and I'm sure we will catch up again during New Year eve.)

We spent our time in Clarence's Home Grill like almost 2 hours, before the gang split into 2. David and Imelda left earlier for a movie at Growball Cinemax, Soon Fatt & Jing Fen gone home while the rest headed to Starbucks, Warisan Square meeting another 2 of our friends there (Jacky and Orman) for another round. So this was how we spent our Christmas this year. I just can't wait for another gathering during new year eve. Counting down 5 more days to go, Korean Cuisines here we come!!!!

Before I wrap up my post, here are some of the photos we took while we dined at Clarence's Home Grill and Starbucks. Hope you guys enjoy it. Do hop in again next year.

Two Christmas Gifts From Santa Boo

2010-12-25T10:45:00.013+08:00

"You better watch out,

You better not cry,

Better not pout,

I'm telling you why,

Santa Claus is coming to town"

Ho!!! Ho!!! Ho!!! Merry Christmas to all my readers who came from all walks of life around the world. How's everyone countdown celebration on Christmas Eve??? Well, I had been "nesting" at home last night due to the bad weather and I'd got no date as well. *Sob**Sob*......

But still, not too upset about that. Since I had been busy with my preparation for tonight's highlight - "Steak Feast" with my friends. It's been a tradition for me and my friends to gather around having special dinner during Christmas & New Year. Over the past few years, we had been having steamboat, Chinese Food...... So this year, we tend to try something different - Western Food. (Suggested by me) Thanks to my friend - Ah Jack for the venue recommendation. (Clarence's Home Grill) Can't wait to try their steak tonight.

Two days ago before Christmas, I had started up my last part of clearing my annual leaves for the year. So, I had been started up my first part of mission of digging up a "hole" in my wallet . That's buying myself a Christmas's gift and doing some shopping for my closet. And there you go. this is what I got for myself this Christmas:

A "Carlo Rino" Handbag

Love the pattern and size so much. Please don't ask me the price cos I did it once a while just to reward myself for never shopping till bleeding for all this while. So, that's the first gift for myself.

Next, in the morning (The day before Christmas) I went to chop my hair down. (Honestly, I had a heavy heart to chop my hair down, but what to do I had been suffering from hair-loss that forced me to have my haircut) Well, at least this time the hair stylist didn't let me down and i pretty satisfied with my haircut now. After done with my haircut, I did a little shopping spree and had my lunch with dad and mom at Old Town Cafe, Citymall before headed to collect my second Christmas's gift from one of my forum friend: Nex.

It's a CD by Jaeson Ma

Finally, it's here. Nex helped me with the online shopping a month ago. (Since I'm kinda noob with this online shopping) But then, I won't bring up this online shopping as a habit. I don't want to be a shopaholic in future. So, self-control is important!!!! Anyway, I'm going to start paying my first installment of getting a second hand DSLR (Canon 400D) from my "Sifu of Photography" - Chucky. So there you go, please pray for me as I'm starting up my journey of learning how to master "The Art of Photography".

That's all for now, will blog again soon about how my Christmas celebration with friends later after tonight. Stay tune.....

Merry Christmas with L.O.V.E from BOO ^~^

Two Men And A Cake

2010-12-07T23:14:00.012+08:00

Drool !!! Drool !!! Drooling from last night's green tea cake with red beans in it. It's superb delicious.

There you go:

Uncle Biscuit's Green Tea Cake with red bean in it.

Oh wait, have I forgotten something??? Who's the birthday(MEN)??? Almost forgot to introduce to you all our birthday(MEN). Note: The reason why I put "MEN" in a bracket, It's because we got two "heroes" whose birthday date were close (Jacky on the 6th and Andrew on the 8th) and "someone" claimed that they were no longer called themselves a "BOY" anymore. (You know who you are. *EVIL SMILE*)

Andrew Wong the "Smiling Prince“ (yellow shirt) & Jacky Loo the "Professional Photog" (blue shirt)

This so-called "Yumcha+Birthday+Gathering" event (3 in 1) was organised by Winx and collaborated by me as the venue-proponent (But, we forced to switch venue from Jabez, Damai to Kopi Ping, Damai in the last minute, since the place I proposed early on was "Closed” last night.)

Thanks to everyone who made an effort come to the gathering. (Ck,Calvin,Shong Loo and Soon Fatt) and for those who can't made it (David, Imelda, Koch and Tina) We will catch up again during Christmas Eve.

By the way, someone from the gang just commented me kinda cool and seldom smile. Hmm... am I??? Oh well, I'm actually not cool. It just I can't smile out. Can anybody teach me how to smile or be happy???

Last but not least, I would like to wish my friends once again here: Andrew and Jacky

Happy Birthday, dude!!!!

What Drool You Most ???

2010-12-01T14:58:00.013+08:00

Ok, I know I'm supposed to blog about this yesterday. But then, once again retarded line had drive me crazy. Was woke up this morning, I thought I could blog during my working hours, but then once again another disappointment hit me up (Black Out!!!!) Wadda ??? But good for me though, at least I can runaway from this little "secret Scary Room" for a while, and absorbed some fresh air and sunlight before I turned myself into vampire. Heh... Heh... (But, hey who cares ??? Since today is my last day "nesting" here. I'm gonna walk out proudly leaving this room tomorrow right after passing the "Baton" back to my colleague. *SCREAM* "Rejoice!!! Rejoice!!!".)

Throughout these entire 9 days of being locked up in this new environment (Secret Scary Room), I had actually learned a lot, explored a lot, experienced a lot, but most of all I had enough of "Quite Time" for my own.

"LEARNED" - Yeah, learned to fix my blog. Ok, I did messed up my blog's layout once again with this stupid Youtube clips. Since I'm alone and far far away from my "sifu" this week. That's mean I need to "Stand On My Own Feet" and try to fix it on my own.I was like spending half of my day trying to understand those HTML code by referring back the one "sifu" done previously. Guess what??? I made a success. (The satisfaction is like "WOW" for me, although you might said "Cheh!!! What's the big deal???")

"QUITE TIME" - So, It's not easy to have a "Quite Time" unless you are living by your own in this world. Sometimes I like to have "Quite Time", where I don't need to meet anybody,talk to anybody, listen to anybody or bother how peoples think of me. Well, I admit it I'm just lack of confident, and been full of jealousy in front of public lately. That's why don't get me weird, when you found me like to be alone and not mix and mingle around. But I had enough "Quite Time" these few days reading my bible which I had abandoned long ago because I don't want to be cranky since I'm not those attractive person who had a lot of friends surround me. I'm not saying I'm holy but, trust me...... I felt much better as I started to read through the pages for the past 9 days. Glad that It's become my "non-talking" friend now.

"EXPERIENCED" - Ok, for those who know me in real life, you guys should known that I'm a "book keeper" (Librarian) for 6 years now. So basically, I only dealing with books most of the time. Unlike my previous position - Accounts Clerk, which required me to deal with some admin jobs, numbers, working papers, and fussy clients which kinda stressed me up most time. Unfortunately, I faced it all back within this week. Firstly, non-stop phone calls - some parents called up to bla.... bla.... bla.... But I did come across with this man with a sexy voice called up about few times within a week looking a vacant badminton court to rent, whom I had a deep impression toward him. His voice not just melted me up, but he will included my name in his conversation each time. After few call up, we are like long time friend, he even invited me join him for a session of game, but I end up rejected him and hung up. Lolz..... What an unexpected invitation.

Secondly, a sudden situation struck me. Honestly, I hate picking peoples' half done job or even try to amend peoples' worksheets. Especially, something that has to be related with accounts. But I forced to do so, when I'd been assigned by the vice principal to help this canteen owner to re-calculate his monthly rental fee which my colleague done a slightly mistakes on the calculation. But thank God, he supervised me at the same time and we did the calculation together, and I managed to hand over the amended accounts to the canteen owner and he pretty satisfied with the figure. Phew!!!!

"EXPLORED" - Well, since I'm just helping up my colleague in her office, while she is away for a holiday. Nothing much I can do. so, I get the chance to surf net to kill most of my time.Like what I'm doing now blogging, reading some blogs, facebook-ing, forum-ing, plurk-ing and twitter-ing. I'm quite active in twitter-ing nowadays. Made quite a numbers of net-friends either. Get to know peoples, what's new,what's going on in the other side of the globe. If you have been following my blog, I bet you all should be familiar with the name - Jaeson Ma (Please refer previous blog post entry in case you all don't know him) I'm his blog regular reader now which famous for his "365 Days Of Love" that gave me lots of impacts in life. And through Jaeson Ma, I get to know someone from Singapore either, we had quite interesting conversation. Well, one of the question been raised up is - "What drools you most now???"

Hmmm..... I quite myself down for a while. Then, I answered:

A cup of Starbucks's Green Tea Frappuccino

A copy of Jason Ma's album "Glory"

and last but not least......

Skittles - Rainbow Candy

Ghee... I still haven't try it yet. Can anyone tell me where I can get it ???

So now tell me "What drools you most???" :D

Love And Glory

2010-11-25T10:26:00.020+08:00

Hello!!! Hello!!! Wazzup ??? I feel very sorry to all my honorable readers out there, for missing in action once again and this time a bit longer as it's like a month to be exact.

Why do I missing in action for such a long period?? Well, let me explain it here:

1. For those who really know me in person, I'm sure you got the answer. But for those who did not know me in real life.Well, I got a bad habit here : "Boo won't do anything if the mood is not there. Boo will only move on once the "fire" within is burning. (So, never pushing me, cos that will only wasting all your energy with a zero returned result.)

2. Another reason is blame it to the slowpoke internet line in my area lately. This retarded internet line made my desire throughout surfing drop down to zero according the scale.

Ok, that's it with all my explanations... Actually I want to share with you all stuff that I had discovered in the past few days. 2 days ago, I was like having a strong desire to re-tweet again in Twitter. Then, I met this fellow whose name is Jaeson Ma (An American Christian actor, musician, writer, and minister who is best known for his work as a pastor and Christian entertainer.) Who had released his first album "Love" and now is promoting his second album "Glory" release concert in Los Angeles.

I start to youtube it, and I found both the video clips. And I already fell in love with them when I listened to them for the first time. Thus, I try to connect with him regarding how am I supposed to get myself a copy of "Glory" album via Twitter. And guess what?? I got replied from him. Since the album will only released on 7 Dec 2010. So it's a pre-order session and I'd been told that they wont selling the album in Malaysia. So which means I can't find the album elsewhere racks. The only way is to get it here. Holy crap, which means I have to do an online shopping which I had never done before. And I donno how either. But thank God, a trusted forum friend of mine helped me out by purchasing the album on behalf of me. Thank you ..... Nex :D (Promised to pay you back as soon as your bank statement and the album landed safely in KK.)

Well, as I mentioned I never done an online shopping in my life so far.... And moreover purchased the most expensive album amongst my collections of albums in my life. But for me, it worth that much.

If you wanna know more about Jaeson Ma or his album or the concert's info, can always feel free to log in :Jaeson Ma's Blog or Jaeson Ma's Facebook or even follow him in Jaeson Ma's Twitter.

Before I signing off, I will be leaving you all with these awesome clips that I had been listened all over again and again these 2 days.

"Love" from his first album

and "Glory" from his second album (Which is about to come out somewhere this 7 December. Oh man!!! I just can't wait for my copy of his album arrived.)

Fun Taiwan : Yehliu Geological Park (野柳地质公园)

2010-09-20T22:32:00.024+08:00

It's been 13 days since the last update...... A short update of myself before proceeding to my adventure of "Fun Taiwan".

Well, finally Boo was out of the "cage" on 10 September to a potluck dinner which had been invited by a forum's friend - Yack Yack a.k.a Jack Law. It was a fun night, although it had been raining cats and dogs and unexpected situation like I forgot to bring the house's keys which made my dad waited me until 1A.M. in the next day. (Gomenasai, dad!!!) I was totally "TARPED" by the green tea drinks and delicious food. (3 cups in just 1 night... Crazy!!!) Met more new friends in person from the forum such as : Nex, Town, Jean, Nicholas. And of course had a great laughters with the movie we watched - Spaceballs.

Ahahahha... That's made my day.

Followed by 11 September, attended my colleague - Bevina Au and her hubby Thomas's big day events (Morning: wedding reception at Sacred Heart Cathedral & followed by a wedding dinner at May Flower Restaurant in the evening) It was my first time attended a Roman Catholic's wedding reception. I was a bit touched when they played this particular of song "The Wedding" by Julie Rogers. Well, wondering when I get the chance??? Guess, never happen to me in this life. Hur.... Hur.... Hur....

To: Thomas & Bevina,

Wishing both of you have a great marriage life, and it's fate which drove both of you together, let's treasured each other and God's work. Cos not everyone given the privilege like both of you had.

Ooops, sorry!!!! Am I made my intro too long???? Better get back to my story of Taiwan. The first travel spot on our second day in Taiwan was "Yehliu Geological Park (野柳地质公园)".

We were staying in Hotel Exterior (快捷假日大饭店）for our first night upon arrival.

A comfy bed but I couldn't sleep well either in my entire Taiwan's trip.

Almost getting up 3A.M. in the morning every morning.

One weird phenomena you will get to see in Taiwan is that - Sun rises in Taiwan faster than sun rises in Malaysia.

These photos proved that what I'm saying: (Took it 5A.M. in the morning inside my hotel's room)

So after finished our breakfast in the lobby, we headed to Yehliu Geological Park (野柳地质公园).

Before I leave you with eye-catching photos, here are some details of the Geological Park:

Yehliu is a cape of about 1,700 meters long formed by Datun Mountain reaching into the sea. When overlooked from above, the place is like a giant turtle submerging into the sea. Thus, it is also called "Yehliu Turtle". Because the rock layer of seashore contains sandstone of limestone texture and it is subject to sea erosion, weathering and earth movements, there is particular scenery consisting of sea trenches/holes, candle shaped rocks, and pot shaped rocks. The place is divided into three sections. The first section has rocks like Queen's Head, Fairy's Shoe and Candle. The second section has rocks like Bean Curd, Dragon Head. The third section has sea-eroded caves, seal shaped rock, etc. The place is suitable for geological study and field research. In addition, there is a statue of Lin Tien Jane in commemoration of the person's bravery of scarifying own live for saving others. The monument describes in details the touching story. There is a marine world in Yeliu. The marine world is the first marine center in the country for exhibition of ocean evolution. It has the best sightseeing tunnel under sea, showing about 200 rare fish species and marine lives. The area of marine live specimen demonstrates many specimens of precious marine mammals and fish. It is very educational. There are excellent shows of whales, dolphins and seals, such as diving, ballet on water and other talent shows. There is a stadium with 3,500 seats. On holidays, the place attracts many visitors for the show. When you visit Yeliu, don't forget to visit sea world and feel the marine wanders.

Fun Taiwan : Birthday Bash For The June's Babies

2010-09-08T15:00:00.009+08:00

There you go..... Here I am once again, Boo - The Story Teller. Heh... Heh!!! Life is getting boring each and every single day for me now. Wake up in the morning, breakfast with the parents, heading to workplace, lunch at home, back into cozy office, home again with some house chores, throwing myself in front of the TV sets or grabbing some novels until "They" (I mean TV programs and the novel "waking" me up 2a.m in the morning.) So please tell me what the hell of world I'm in now???

Oh!!! Whatever ..... Thank you for lending your eyes for the above !@##$%^. I'm just trying to let go some "bad gases" after all you can ignore that part. Ok, back to story, as I promised yesterday today my mission is to make all of you drool all the way down.

After visited the last spot of the day in Taiwan, It's time to ease our hungriness. We had our first dinner at Taipei which was the "Mongolian BBQ" that we never had before back to Malaysia.

What is "Mongolian BBQ" ???

According Google,

Although Mongolian barbecue first appeared in Taiwan in the middle to late 20th century, the stir-frying of meats on a large, open surface is supposed to evoke Mongolian foods and Mongolian traditions. Or the preparation derives from Japanese-style teppanyaki which was popular in Taiwan at the time. The very first Mongolian Barbecue restaurant (Gengis Khan Mongolian BBQ) was opened in 1976, and was located in downtown Taipei, Taiwan.
American restaurants such as HuHot Mongolian Grill and BD's Mongolian Barbeque claim that soldiers of the Mongol Empire gathered large quantities of meats, prepared them with their swords and cooked them on their overturned shields over a large fire. A German restaurant chain with the same concept claims that the Mongolian soldiers cooked their meals on a heated stone.

Typically, diners choose various ingredients from a buffet of thinly sliced raw meats (beef, pork, lamb, turkey, chicken, shrimp) and vegetables (cabbage, tofu, sliced onion, cilantro, broccoli, and mushrooms) and assemble them in a large bowl or on a plate. These ingredients are given to the griddle operator who adds the diner's choice of sauce and transfers them to one section of the hot griddle. Oil and sometimes water may be added to ease cooking, and the ingredients are stirred occasionally.

The ample size of the Mongolian barbecue griddle allows for several diners' food to be cooked simultaneously on different parts of the griddle. In many restaurants (primarily buffets) one dish will be cooked at a time, the operator walking around the outside of the grill once or twice moving the food while walking. When cooking is complete, the finished dish is scooped into a bowl and handed to the diner. Many Mongolian barbecue restaurants are-"all-you-can-eat."
I even made myself my favorite ABC too.

Food stories had been never end, Our mindful Malaysian tour guide (Veronica) and the Taiwanese tour guide (Tommy) had a little surprise for my daddy (Since 8th June - our first day in Taiwan was exactly the date my daddy came to this world)

They had prepared a fruity birthday cake which I thought it more like a fruity pie for me.

And of course together we were celebrating for all the June babies as well. (And I'm one of the baby either :D)

That was how I spent my 28th birthday in oversea with huge bunch of strangers that I'm about to make friend with them. Once again a big thank you to Veronica and Tommy for making us such a memorable experience in my life so far. I will keep this memory buried in my heart forever.

Fun Taiwan : Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (国父纪念馆)

2010-09-07T11:18:00.018+08:00

Welcome aboard again!!! Boys and girls......

Wazzup everyone??? School holidays had just started... The school's library is as quiet as it should be. Now i can easily listen to the chirping sound of birds which wandering around in the halfway constructed school's field. Well, i love school holidays, this is the time when I can at least take a break even though I'm still on duty.

Well, to begin my journey today, I'm gonna share some stories and pictures about the "Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (国父纪念馆)" which I had visited during my trip to Taiwan in June.

Are you ready??? Boys and girls......

The National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is located in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China). The Chinese name direct translation is: National Pater Patriae memorial Hall. It is a memorial to the Republic of China's National Father, Dr.Sun Yat-sen, and was completed on May 16, 1972. As the hall was opened in the very beginning, its main displays were revolutionary events of the national father at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Recently it became a multi-purpose social, educational and cultural center for the Taiwanese public.

The Republic of China government began to prepare the construction of the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in 1964 to commemorate Father of the Republic of China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's great character, revolutionary career, and philosophical blueprint for a modern China. The hall would serve as a place not only for people to pay tribute to Father of the Republic, but also for cultural, artistic, educational, academic, and recreational purposes. In 1965, Chiang Kai-shek officiated the ground breaking ceremony. The design plan by the famous architect Wang Ta-hung was selected in a public contest one year later, and modified under the instruction of Chiang, to underline Chinese architectural characteristics. The main construction was completed on May 16, 1972. The majestic and solemn building itself is sited in Chung-shan Square Park, featuring green grass and floral bushes. It now boasts to have the landmark building, a scenic open space, and the best performance center in eastern Taipei.

The Memorial Hall was affiliated to Taipei City Government originally. In June 1986, it became part of the Ministry of Education, together with Chung-Shan Building in Yangmingshan. Its official name was changed from "the Administrative Bureau of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall" to "the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall".

In the early time, the Memorial Hall primarily functioned as a place to display the historical relics of Dr. Sun's life and lead in the revolution. Later, it opens to exhibitions and performances. Now, it has a world-class performance hall, and elegant exhibition center with an area of around 10,000 square feet (1,000 m2). It also has a multi-media theatre with the newest facilities, an audio-visual center, lecture halls, Chung-shan Symposium, a professional library with a collection of over three hundred thousand books, Lake Tswei exhibition and performance area, and Chung-shan park.

The Memorial Hall is committed to the promotion of Dr. Sun's philosophies - universal love, an egalitarian society, and the "goal of life to help the others" and to refresh the people's memory of Dr. Sun and pass on his beliefs. The first director Shih Chun-wen set up a solid foundation for the Memorial Hall. Succeeding directors, Frank C.C. Tong, Wang Ching-po, Kao Chung-yun and Tseng Chiang-yuan let the Memorial Hall come of age. The present director, Chang Jui-pin, has taken it into the stage of prosperity. Now, the Memorial Hall advances towards internationalization, localization, life-time education, and renovation of hardware facilities. The aim is to integrate Dr. Sun's beliefs with more attributes of contemporary Chinese culture.

Shortly after the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall was built, President Chiang Kai-shek died of pneumonia in Taipei. His funeral was held in the main hall of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. Hundreds of thousands of people turned out to view President Chiang's body. His body was moved to Cihu, Taoyuan County in a slow motor procession. Thousands of people had lined up on the streets to pay respect and to view Chiang's open casket during its journey.

From the park, we managed to capture a better view of Taipei 101 as suggested earlier on by the local Taiwanese tourist guide.

And some Mr. Sun Yat-sen's statue as well...

I really love this park not just because the fresh air, the breeze, pigeon feeding but also the piper-man. Truly like I'm in heaven. The sound of the piper-man playing his flute made me felt like I'm traveled across Prague not Taiwan.

Coming up, next.... Mongolian BBQ dinner, birthday bash. guarantee will make you drool all the way down. Thanks for reading :D

I have A Date With The "Head Prefect" (D.T. In Da House Again) Part 2

2010-08-22T04:52:00.017+08:00

Wide awake!!! With all the "TARP" food, I guess I'm gonna stay awake few hours for the digestion purpose since I just came back from my final gathering with Daniel and the rest of the gang before he is going back to Australia this Tuesday which is the coming 24th. Head was bit heavy, most probably hit by the rain during our second station down by Tg. Aru beach side.

Well, I managed to gather a lot more ex schoolmates this time compared the previous by sending everyone an invitation through Facebook's Event Invitation. Actually the feedback is not as good as I think with only "7 attending", "4 maybe attending", "23 not attending' and a total number of "101 awaiting reply". But guess what??? Out of my expectation.

Here is a little bit info from last night gathering:

Event on : Daniel Tiong Back To Malaysia Again (Part 2)

Date : 21 August 2010

Time : 7pm onwards

Venue : Upperstar, Lintas & Tg. Aru 1st Beach

We were stayed in Upperstar until 11 something.....

That night we just can't get all 14 persons squeezed into a perfect group photo, due to some came in late and some left early. That's why you get to see 2 group photos here: (Can you spot the different in between?)

Part of the food I ordered on the night :

Mango Mambo & Garlic Bread

Sandwich Chicken with Mayonnaise

Happy Peoples With Happy Faces Everywhere.......

Then some of us proceeded to our next station to the Tg. Aru beach, the idea came from Rose when she said she wanna eat grilled squid. But by the time we reached there, all stalls been closed down left this bar which remained open:

Everyone ordered their drinks, and I had mine "Hot Choco" too....

Another session of chit-chatting on up to 3 in the morning.....

Before we left the place we managed to take our last group photo and signed our name on a RM1 note for Daniel as a remembrance for each and everyone of us to remind us what a silly thing we had done on this date. Urgh.... Felt like back to school time when we used to sign each other's autograph.

To Daniel,

Thank you for sharing such a good time with us. All the best in Perth, Australia. Really looking forward to visit you in Perth 2012 or perhaps another homecoming for you ??? :D

I was the only person from Commerce while the rest from Science stream, you might asking me why??? This is because we get to re-shuffle every year during our lower form time (Bridge Class till form 3). But when we were in Upper Form (Form 4 & 5) I went to Commerce stream while the rest in Science stream, that's how we get separated. So don't get messed up why am I attended so many ex schoolmates gathering lately.

Fun Taiwan : Taipei 101 & Taipei 101 Mall (台北101)

2010-08-18T23:17:00.013+08:00

Yosh !!! Finally I got my privacy back. Oops!!! Some of you might not know what I mean, but I bet some of you may. Heh !!! Heh !!! Well, whatever it is, today I'm going to continue to share with you all the beauty of Taiwan.

"The Landmark of Taiwan - Taipei 101"

Here are some introduction about the building:

Taipei 101 (台北101）also known as the Taipei Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building ranked officially as the world's tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010. Taipei 101 designed by C.Y. Lee & partners and constructed primarily by KTRT joint venture and numerous subcontractors including Samsung C & T received the 2004 Emporis Skyscraper Award. The tower has served as an Icon of modern Taiwan ever since its opening. Fireworks launched from Taiwan 101 feature prominently in international New Year's Eve broadcasts and the structure appears frequently in travel literature and international media.

Taiwan 101 comprises 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. The name of the tower reflects its floor count, The building was architecturally created as a symbol of the evolution of technology and Asian tradition. Its postmodernist approach to style incorporates traditional design elements and gives them modern treatments. The tower is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes. A multi-level shopping mall adjoins the tower houses to hundreds of fashionable stores, restaurants and clubs.

Taipei 101 is owned by the Taipei Financial Center Corporation (TFCC) and managed by the International division of Urban Retail Properties Corporation based in Chicago. The name4 originally planned for the building, Taipei World Financial Center (Until 2003) was derived from the name of the owner. The original name in Chinese was literally, Taipei International Financial Center (台北国际金融中心).

Taipei 101, like many of its neighbors, shows the influence of Feng Shui philosophy. An example appears in the form of large granite fountain at the intersection of Songlian Road and and Xinyi Road near the tower's east entrance. A ball at the fountain's top spins toward the tower. As a work of public art, the tower offers a contrast to the tower in texture even as it design echoes the tower's rhythms. Yet the fountain also serves a practical function in Feng Shui philosophy. A "T" intersection near the entrance of a building represents a potential drain of positive energy or from a structure and its occupants. Flowing water placed at such spots remedy the situation by generating a positive inward flow of CHI. The fountain applies a tradition solution to a tradition challenge yet its design remains modern.

Taipei 101 merges ancient motif and ideas with modern techniques and materials. As a landmark it renew by the symbolism of all tall towers as cosmic centers. Its interplaying symbols speak of optimism, abundance and the ever-renewing cycle of time.

There you go for today updates, will post more updates in future. So be sure you don't touch the dial and stay tune for more funs and thrills with me.

Fun Taiwan : Tamshui Old Street (淡水老街)

2010-08-03T23:22:00.020+08:00

Are you looking for some Taiwanese hawker (street food) and snacks?? Such as fish ball soup, iron egg, oily bean curd, fried fish cracker, fish dumplings and a variety of seafood. Well, I think you definitely shouldn't missed this out - Tamshui Old Street (淡水老街).

Tucked in between Tamshui Waterfront Promenade and the bustling ZhongZheng Road, Gongming Street or better known as Tamshui Old Street (淡水老街) is a pedestrian friendly street with enormous array of food to tuck in and souvenirs to bring home.

Oily bean curd is an interesting signature dish of Tamshui. Easily spotted at most eateries, it is a deep fried bean curd (tofu), stuffed with crystal noodle and sealed with fish paste. The texture of bean curd is soft inside and presented with some savory-spicy sauce. Taste is rather subjective to individual but for a foodie, this is a must try at Tamshui!

Besides that, there are still a huge variety of snacks that you can find here in Tamshui Old Street(淡水老街}.

From various of biscuits......

To various choice of snacks.

Strolling along Gong Ming Street, tonnes of vacuum-packed globules somehow will catch your attention. This is the famous Tamshui snack called "Iron Egg" (铁蛋). From the hard boiled egg, they are repeatedly stewed for hours with fermented bean paste, soy sauce, sugar and spices which eventually turning them into black balls. Smaller iron eggs are prepared from quail eggs while the larger ones are from chicken eggs . Their texture is rubbery and some claimed and the taste is flavorful.

The Trademark of Tamshui snack - Iron Egg.

Besides the eateries, there are plenty of interesting shops such as this one:

Taiwanese version of Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Hmm.... I like this shop pretty much :D

The eateries and shops here are open till late at night. Perfect to begin with your evening at Tamshui by watching sunset, then diving into the food haven to chow down.

Like what I did :

"yummy green tea ice cream in my hand, beautiful sunset in my sight"

C'est La Vie !!!

Fun Taiwan : Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭)

2010-08-01T22:43:00.018+08:00

Gomen nasai!!! A big apology to all my readers out there for being disappearing myself almost a month??? Well I have to say : "BLAME IT TO THE TEMPTATION OF "TWILIGHT SAGA"."Yeah.... I have been catching up Stephenie Meyer's books lately. And currently "New Moon" is the book that I had been "hugging" everyday. Well, at least not for today as I'm gonna get back on track and I'm gonna share with you the recent trip to Taiwan couple of months ago - somewhere in June.

Today I'm gonna transform myself into a host in one of my favorite TV show recently - Fun Taiwan. Seriously I love both of them very much.

Janet Hsieh

and Nadia Hatta

My very first spot right after I stepped my feet in the ground of Tao Yuan Airport and after a nice delicious lunch was the - Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭 ).

Here is a little bit of information about this - Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭).

"Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭) is a scenic spot at the western tip of Tamsui, Taipei County, Taiwan. Its predecessor was the "Tamsui Second Fishing Port" on the right bank of the Tamsui river estuary, an important fishing harbor in the early history of north Taiwan.The Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is well-known by its beautiful sunset and fresh seafood. While having sightseeing and leisure facilities, it still holds its functionality as a harbor for fishing boats."

Hmm........ Sound interesting isn't it??? Heh... Heh...

Well, more pictures sharing just for you!!! you!!! And you out there !!! From my very first step in Tao Yuan Airport to yummylicious lunch till the most romantic strolling down by the "lover's bridge" of Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭) :

Me and the "Tomato Man" at the airport. (Seriously i thought it was a real man not until I realized that it was a fake one)

Our first lunch at Tao Yuan before heading to Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭). The main course was kinda oily and salty for my taste.

But seriously, I really love the desserts they served special for us after the lunch. It's some kind of ice blended pickled mango and it's freaking yummy. I'm loving it!!!

Little Creature @ My Backyard

2010-06-20T23:42:00.008+08:00

*Uhuk!!**Uhuk!!* It's been a long long time since the last update. Well, guess I'm addicted to FB's games and loitering too much on Plurk recently which kept me away from blogging desk all this while. Oops.... Will try to get myself back on track slowly into blogging desk now.

But as for now, let me introduce to you a "SPECIAL GUEST" who had been paying me twice as much visits during this rainy seasons in my area.

"Well, boys and girls......"

"Let's us put our hands together and warm welcome, Misssssssster Sssssnail!!! *DRUM BEATING*

A day before......

A day after, which is today. The same little creature crawling behind my backyard again. I guess it's probably living in a corner somewhere of my house all this while. I quickly grabbed my camera and gave it a snapped before my mom got it and throw it far faraway to Neverland.

Well, take a look at it's reaction, as I touched it's shell. The snail quickly hide itself into it's shell. Maybe it found itself in danger and refused to get out from it's shell again although I had been waited about 10 minutes just hope that it will come out again. But...... I guess you all should know what happen next??? Ain't you?? *GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT*

Funny English Everywhere :D

2010-03-20T10:49:00.009+08:00

Working during school holidays just Isn't fun when you have to replace your colleague who is apparently away for a week. And you were given responsibility to take charge in a totally different environment. Yup!!! That's what I'm experiencing now. Here once again I'm being locked up in the "Scary Room" for the 6th day. But very soon, yes "VERY SOON!!!!"..... I'm out of this place again. Hoorey!!!!!

Honestly, over the past few days was just kinda calm without fuzzy visitors paid their visit, accept for 3 bunches of students came for Brass-Band (I enjoyed it so much when they were practicing the "Obladi-Oblada" song), Chinese Cultural Dance and Korean HipHop Dance in the beat of "Sorry Sorry" by Super Junior which was just too annoying for me and a lovely badminton coach called Rina. Yeah!! A lovely ethnic lady which spoke English fluently. I do sweated and my tongue twisted a lot when talked to her. Her slang was just damn as good as those foreigners. That's what happened out of the "Scary Room" with the thick smelly haze keeping accompany. Oh no!!!! The situation of hazardous is getting even worst. Stop open burning please. *KOFF**KOFF*

Back into "Scary Room", It's a new record for me!! A new record for not being *Bla....Bla...Bla-ing....* (talk) for whole day, just keeping my fingers on the keyboard, my mind on the monitor and my eyes on a piles of worksheets. Ooops!!! Not forgetting a pairs of ears on HisKids.net. (An Online Radio Station playing Christian Songs, Stories Telling and more kids' stuffs). Of course, sometimes I get bored striking the Chinese Characters, they made me yawned a lot. To ease the yawn-ness, CSP Forum , Facebook , Plurk , Blogger , Camera had been always the best choice for me.

And look what I had found on Facebook today, I'm going to share this with you all before I'm signing off :)

And you're the last thing on my mind
Before I go to sleep at night
You're always 'round when I'm in need
When trouble's on my mind
You put my soul at ease

There is no one in this world
Who can love me like you do
So many reasons that I
Want to spend forever with you...........

Don't you think this piece of lyrics is so touching?? Well, this is the opening theme for my ex - primary schoolmate - Karen and Darren's wedding banquet which just ended an hour ago.

Congratulations to both of them. They are such a lovely couple indeed.

The couples actually made a small unofficial wedding dinner at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa where there was only a small amount of relatives and good friends were invited. (I'm so thankful that I'm one of them)

The next thing which really made me so touching when I was warm-welcomed by Karen's daddy and mummy. Thank-goodness, I never thought that both Karen's parents still remember me after so long never meeting up to each other - It's like 16 years ago. Well, I'd been threaten well by her parents during primary school. I used to visit Karen's house, studying and playing together that time which I'm still miss a lot until this day. A little history about Karen: "She is not just pretty but intelligent as well."

And now, not noticing this childhood buddy of mine had finally tied her knot today and yet to be called someone's wife. I'm looking forward to see you again, and wishing you and your hubby "Happily Ever After". All the best in your official wedding dinner on the 26th December which is going to be held in Kuala Lumpur.

Here are some of the photos that I took just now, didn't managed to take more photos cos my batteries was DYING...... I think I need to get extra batteries for my upcoming Christmas Eve's dinner. (Or else I'm going to end up like tonight's luck :( Hur... Hur...)

The Backdrop

The Champagne Tower

The 5 Levels Of Wedding Cake

Ooopsss!!! Look !!! Little Carmen (Another ex-schoolmate - Jenny's little princess) was there too. Isn't she lovely??? Heh.. Heh..

And last but not least, a big thank you goes to Karen's brother who took this photo for us. Nice shot!! Brother :)

City Touring @ Merlion Park (Part 2)

2009-12-08T21:00:00.013+08:00

Koff!! Koff!! Dusty blog post. Supposed I should be finished up my blog post about the recent trip to Singapore somewhere around June, but since there are so many "TEMPTATIONS" bothering me (One of them is famous Facebook's Farmville Games) that made me couldn't blogging routinely. Moreover, I had been noticed that recently, I'm more likely "Blog By Feel". So don't be curious If I come out with "Chap Goh Mei" stories at the end of the year. Since there are still a lot of pending "Unpublished Post" living inside my blog.

Well, I think I better get my story started. For those whose just following my trip, here are the previous story - City Touring @ Merlion Park (Part 1) to keep you all back on track with me.

Just before we heading to Clarke Quay for a nice dinner, Uncle Chris led us to have a walk round through the city. (Yes!! *WALKING* no transportation) It was fun though where we get to see more stuffs. At the same time I earned "A little Gift" as well. (Swollen and Red toes as u can see in my previous Introduction Post.

Here are some of the pictures as we walked around the city.

Buildings and Skyscrapers

And the oldest bridge in Singapore - Cavenagh Bridge

Here are a little bit history about the bridge.

Originally known as the Edinburgh Bridge to commemorate the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh, its name was changed to Cavenagh Bridge in honour of Major General William Orfeur Cavenagh, the last India-appointed Governor of the Straits Settlements, who governed from 1859 to 1867. The coat of arms of the Cavenagh family can still be seen atop the signage at both ends of the bridge.

Cavenagh Bridge linked the Civic District on the northern bank to the Commercial District on the southern bank of the Singapore River. Before Cavenagh Bridge was constructed, people could only get to the two districts via a detour over Elgin Bridge or by paying 1 duit (¼ cent) for a boat ride across the river.

This bridge has elaborate suspension struts in comparison with most other suspension bridges, and is the third bridge to be built in Singapore. It was constructed in 1869 to allay the inconvenience of crossing the Singapore River by boat. It was originally designed as a drawbridge but on its completion was found to be suitable only as a fixed structure. Numerous steel rivets were used in its construction, which employed steel casting methods commonly used during that era.

The bridge was designed by the colonial Public Works Department's John Turnbull Thomson and constructed by the P&W Maclellan, Glasgow Engineers at a cost of Straits $80,000. Built and tested in Glasgow to withstand a load four times its own weight, it was shipped to Singapore in parts and reassembled in 1869 by convict labour before opening to traffic a year later. Rickshaws and ox carts used the Cavenagh Bridge to cross Singapore River. Subsequently, the bridge became overloaded due to the flourishing trade on the Singapore River in the late 1880s.

When Cavenagh Bridge became unable to cope with the increasing traffic into town and its low draught was insufficient for the passage of boats at high tide, the government decided to build the Anderson Bridge in 1910 to replace Cavenagh Bridge. Cavenagh Bridge was eventually spared from demolition and was converted to a pedestrian bridge, with the heavier vehicles, horse and ox carts being diverted to Anderson Bridge. A police notice, which is still preserved till today, was thus erected at both ends of the bridge restricting the passage of vehicles that weighed beyond 3 cwt (152 kilograms, 300 pounds (US) or 336 pounds (Imperial)), including cattle and horses.

Ohhhh!!! Sound interesting isn't it???? More interesting places coming on your way as I'm going to take you to another world. The kingdom called Clarke Quay.

So, do step in again :)

It's Time To Leave Paediatrics Clinic

2009-11-18T22:45:00.009+08:00

Firstly, I have to apologize to all my readers for not keeping my blog updated once more. But, today i feel like wanting to scribble something on it. Even though my headache getting even worst caused by too much thinking.

My tears slipped down automatically again (I can't recall how many times I had experienced such emotion.) In front of my mom, Staff Nurse Lo and Dr. Fauziah - who did the review for me today inside her Pediatric Clinic since Uncle Soo had been very busy and seldom meets up with his patients lately.

The reason why am I upset??

--> It's not because my situation is getting worst.
--> It's not because I refused to take any medication.
--> It's not because I get scolded by "Uncle Soo".

But...

--> It's because she talked about my future.
--> It's because she talked about my social life.
--> It's because she asked about my love life.
(Which is a sensitive topic to me and I wouldn't want to think or talk so much about it.)

And last but not least, Dr. Fauziah was trying to convince me from transferring to adult's clinic. Well, I understand that in my late 20's, I shouldn't appeared in Pediatric Clinic anymore. But up to this level, I'm still. Imagine that I had been spending 17 years of my life in the "House of Pediatric" since I was 10. Uncle Soo and Staff Nurse Lo is just like my second "Papa and Mama". So you can tell, It's kinda hard for me to move into another new environment.

Recently, those old scenes of my younger age as kid kept playing in my mind where I get excited to go visiting Uncle Soo in his clinic, jumping and running all the way inside his clinic, climbed on him and sat on him playing with the bear which hung on his Stethoscope and his name tag, while he tried to check with my VP Shunt. The distance in between me and Uncle Soo was so close that time. That was the sweetest memories I had.

But as time goes by, I'd grown up as a high school student. According the hospital's law, whoever reached the age of 12 is considered an adult and will be sent to adult's clinic. But Uncle Soo still remain taking care of me. There was a time when I'd gotten into very emotional and refused to take any medication, and always causing urine infection which made Uncle Soo very angry and I get scolded badly all the times and nearly gets "DUMP". Quite scary though. Haha.. And that was the first time I felt regret and sorry for him until I actually apologized to him and hoping that he won't "DUMP" me. But Uncle Soo seems understand with his patients pretty well. (Cos who can stand from keeping medicines as their main meals and injections all the times???) Well, that was some bad memories.

So often nurses in the Pediatric Clinic made fun of me by saying that I'm truly Uncle Soo's Pet. Uncle Soo not only accompany me during my childhood, but he is concerning my studies and working life as well. Which I think every doctors in train now should possessed the spirit within him. Well, no matter what... I still need to consider leaving "Pediatric Life". Decision... Decision... Urg!!!

What should I do???

Uncle Soo and Staff Nurse Lo

"Jalan - Jalan Cari Makan" @ Atmosphere

2009-09-27T23:19:00.014+08:00

Sunday has never been a special day for someone who still call them self single like me. The daily routines seems like never changing (waking up --> stretching bones --> brushing and washing --> waiting buddy's call --> having BRUNCH together --> windows shopping and spending time together til dawn) YES!! Just the two of us. Ghee... That's sound more like a lesbian to me. Heh.. Heh..

Well, instead of loitering around the mall, my buddy and I chose to have our BRUNCH at Atmosphere Restaurant in Menara Tun Mustapha or normally the local Sabahans named it "Yayasan Sabah". With a 72 glass walled sides tower rising 30 storeys to 122 metres at the Likas Bay. It is about 10 minutes drive from the center of Kota Kinabalu.

Situated on the 18th floor of the tallest building in Sabah, this spectacular revolving restaurant and bar specializes in Pacific Rim and local cuisine.

The view inside the restaurant

Food and Beverage

We pretty much enjoy the environment inside the restaurant with the sound of easy listening piece of music, relaxing dining area. Of course, not forgetting the eye catching views up from the building.

According to the waiter who served us, the atmosphere inside the restaurant even more relaxing when the restaurant transformed into bar and lounge at night. Thus, the idea of having a "YUM CHA" sessions popped out in our mind. That, we are going to plan a gathering with the rest of our friends to have a drink here someday.

Before we left, we managed to tour around and took some views surrounding. Here is it, hope you guys enjoy it.

City Touring @ Merlion Park (Part 1)

2009-08-05T23:32:00.015+08:00

Like what I had promised yesterday, today we are going to walk around in the city center of Singapore. The very first spot that Uncle Chris took us to is the famous landmark of Singapore - The Merlion Park.

Here are some of the introduction I had found on the web:

The Merlion (Singa-Laut) is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Its name combines "mer" meaning the sea and "lion". The fish body comes from Singapore's ancient name back when it was a fishing village — Temasek — meaning "sea town" in Javanese. The lion head represents Singapore's original name — Singapura — meaning "lion city" or "kota singa" .The symbol was designed by Mr Fraser Brunner, a member of the Souvenir Committee and curator of the Van Kleef Aquarium, for the logo of the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in use from 26 March 1964 to 1997. The Merlion continues to be its trademark symbol since 20 July 1966. Although the STB changed their logo in 1997, the STB Act continues to protect the Merlion symbol. Approval must be received from STB before it can be used. The Merlion appears frequently in STB-approved souvenirs.

Besides "The Merlion", we also get to see "The Singapore Flyers"

The Singapore Flyer is currently the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Described by its operators as an observation wheel, it reaches 42 stories high, with a total height of 165 m (541 ft), and is 5 m (16 ft) taller than the Star of Nanchang and 30 m (98 ft) taller than the London Eye.

Located in Singapore, on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land, it comprises a 150 m (492 ft) diameter wheel, built over a three-story terminal building which houses shops, bars and restaurants, and offers broad views of the city centre and beyond to about 45 km (28 mi), including the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia.

The final capsule was installed on 2 October 2007, the wheel started rotating on February 11, 2008 and it officially opened to the public on March 1, 2008. Tickets for rides on the first 3 nights were sold out for S$ 8,888 Singapore dollars (US$6,271)(£3,150.83GBP)(€4300), an auspicious number in Chinese culture. The grand opening for the Flyer was held on 15 April 2008.

Each of the 28 air-conditioned capsules is capable of holding 28 passengers, and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 37 minutes. Initially rotating in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from Marina Centre, its direction was changed on 4 August 2008 under the advice of Feng shui masters.

Other than that, Uncle Chris did show us a newly landscape in Singapore as well - The Esplanade. What is it??? The very first sight when I saw this unique building. Some fruit image came out in my mind. Yes!!! The building looked much like a durian shape. Don't you think???

The Esplanade or Theatres on the Bay is a waterside building located on six hectares of waterfront land alongside Marina Bay near the mouth of the Singapore River, purpose-built to be the centre for performing arts for the island nation of Singapore. Taking its name from the nearby Esplanade, it contains a 1,600 seat concert hall and a 2,000 seat theatre for the performing arts.

The library@esplanade is located on the third floor of the building. There are outdoor performing centres, and retail and food space at the Esplanade Mall. There is an outdoor open space on the fourth floor of the building.

That's all for now, more interesting pictures of skyscrapers, beautiful sunsets, hot and sexy sport cars. All next, in Part 2. Stay tune :)

Venturing Into Costa Sand Resort

2009-08-04T22:47:00.012+08:00

First the all, I must apologized to all of my fellow readers for not updating my blog for such a long time. I know I had been missing in action for a while. (One month to be exact.) Well, there had been a lot happening throughout the month. I'd had been so emotional, moody for the past few months that led me out of my "Blogging Desk". But after all, Boo is recovered and back for more actions. Yuuuu.... Hoo!!!

If you guys still remember, I actually did blog about my trip to Singapore two months ago, but haven't finished up my stories on that trip. Just to refresh all your mind, you can always refer back to the beginning of my journey to the center of Merlion City by clicking here.

In order to make it short, here were what happened next.... After Uncle Chris picked us up at Changi Airport. (Well, I did meet up with my old high school pals - Teya & Yuen Nee, they were on their short vacation for 4 days 3 nights either) And sent us to the place where we gonna stayed in for 3 days 2 nights - Which was Costa Sand Resort.

"Costa Sand Resort" - What a calm & beautiful name it was given. Don't you think?? Just close your eyes and imagine... For me, the first picture came out from my mind was the sandy beach, clear sparkling sea water, pretty ladies on their bikinis, with the sound of sea breeze. Suddenly I'm feel like in Phi Phi Island, Krabi (Thailand) - Yeap!! Saw this nice Island in one of my ex - schoolmate's album, it's definitely another nice place for vacation instead of Hawaii.

So, after check-in into our room, and settled down. I started up my journey venturing the resort surrounding. The first thing I'd discovered this resort was actually located inside a small amusement park. What we know from the information quarter, there was no housekeeping, room service, breakfast, lunch or even dinner provided. But there were a lot of shops, food courts, Pick 'n Pay convenient stores available inside the resort. According staffs from the resort, besides Costa Sand Resort (Downtown East).There were also another 2 branches which is Costa Sands Resort (Sentosa) and Costa Sands Resort(Pasir Ris).

Here are some views from the resort:

The food court: The only place we filled our hungry stomach - You got to believe me, here they sold the best Iced lemon tea & Chay Tou Kuey ever.

The BBQ facilities : BBQ is one of the favorite activity for the peoples in Singapore during holidays & weekends. And definitely Costa Sand is the best choice. But in my opinion no matter it was weekdays or even weekends, The Singaporeans loves to BBQ all the time. This can best proved by during our stayed at Costa Sand, the huge crowd of people BBQ-ing until midnight even during weekdays. Party all night long.

According to Uncle Chris, The Singaporean families really enjoy their "Family Day". Not like we - Malaysians. We hardly see Malaysians hanging around with their family members doing activities sort like: picnicking at the beach, shopping with daddy and mummy. But The Singaporeans seems got the traditions. During the school holidays The Singaporeans do enjoy their one month "Summer Holiday" which starting somewhere early beginning of June, this time around you can easily bumped into families in the streets, leisure malls and so on. This is the golden time for them to share happiness being together in order to build up a better relationships in between the family members.

Other then that, there were also:

Amusement Park

As well as Swimming pool for guests who are staying here.

During my stay in Singapore, I did encountered a lot of new stuffs. This is the reasons why I like traveling a lot.

For example - The Vending Machines (Thanks to TK & Chucky for the right vocab)outside our room: We only have Soda Machines but I haven't seen this in Malaysia yet. Am I right?? I remembered I only saw this vending machine in one of those episode of "Tokyo Walker" hosted by Helen Toh on TV set. But now finally I'd seen it for real through my eyes.

Next, we gonna stepped out of Costa Sand and exploring the world outside as Uncle Chris will take us city tour around. Wanna know what are the interesting places?? Come let's follow us!!

Battle With Transformers

2009-07-06T23:19:00.009+08:00

Woap !!!!!!! Megan Fox is so damn "HOT" !!!!

Ahah.. This is so ridiculous !! Please do forgive me for my nonsense, probably I'm getting the "Transformers Fever" already. Heh... Heh...

Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen

Oh well, Yesterday I get the chance to watch this blockbuster movie of the year - "Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen" with a bunch of friends at 1 Borneo. Man !!! I tell you, this totally had dragged me to the top of my CRAZINESS. Why ??? Well, here's the story:

Well, I never thought that this movie still very popular until this date since the movie had started showing couple of weeks ago. We (Me, Imelda, Tina and Koch) were catching the 3PM show but we arrived as early as 12 Noon to avoid movie ticket shortage. After gotten our tickets, we spent our 2 hours pre-movie sessions by loitering around at the mall, took our lunch at KFC Outlet (Oh yeah, Tina and I met our ex-colleague - Kevin. He is getting chubby now ever since started to fall in love. Hmm... Maybe this is what we so-called THE POWER OF LOVE.)

Soon or later, the clock ticked to 3PM. Everyone was excited to rush into the cinema hall, It was a big crowd, they even set up a booth selling Transformers' posters, all kinds of key chains, merchaindise provided for the die hard fans.

THE AFTER SHOW...

Tick.. Tock.. Tick.. Tock.. 2 and half hours of show finally had come to the end. *BUTTOCK PAIN* (This is what we gained) I was kept on sneezing due to the full blast air-conditioning system inside the cinema hall. Afterthat, four of us took another hour loitering around before we headed to "Tsunami" which is located at Hilltop for our dinner as suggested by Tina. Gosh!! You got to believe me, they are selling the cheapest set dinner ever with the size of one portion can be share by two persons. What the heck??? By the time Koch sent us back home it was already 8PM, and my nose still sneezing all the way. Oh Gosh !!! Hopefully Im not catching the H1N1. Heh.. Heh... *PRAYING HARD*

Before I end my post, I'm gonna leave you with some Transformers' Goodies...

The Sypnosis :

It is revealed that thousands of years before Optimus Prime and the other Transformers arrived on Earth, there was a race of ancient Transformers who scoured the universe looking for Energon sources. Known as the Dynasty of Primes, they used a weapon called the Sun Harvester to drain stars of their energy in order to convert it to Energon and power Cybertron’s AllSpark. The Primes agreed that life-bearing worlds would be spared, but when one brother, who was thereafter dubbed "The Fallen", constructed a Sun Harvester on Earth in 17,000 BCE, the remaining brothers sacrificed their bodies in order to hide the Matrix of Leadership, the key that powers the Sun Harvester, from The Fallen, who swore to seek revenge upon Earth once he found the key.

In present day, two years after the events of the first film, Optimus now leads NEST, a military organization consisting of human troops and his own team of Autobots—including newcomers Arcee, Sideswipe, Jolt, and the twins Skids and Mudflap. While on a mission in Shanghai to kill Decepticons, NEST learns that The Fallen is coming. Back in the United States, Sam Witwicky finds a splinter of the destroyed AllSpark, and upon contact the splinter fills his mind with Cybertronian symbols, which he is initially unaware contain a riddle that leads to location of the Matrix of Leadership. Sam gives the AllSpark splinter to his girlfriend Mikaela Banes, for safe keeping, and leaves her and Bumblebee behind to go off to college. Upon arrival, Sam meets his college roommate Leo Spitz, who runs an alien conspiracy website, and Alice, a co-ed who makes sexual advances towards him. Back home, Decepticon Wheelie tries to steal the shard, only to get captured by Mikaela and getting his eye burnt. Mikaela immediately leaves to get to Sam, after he had a mental breakdown, uncontrollably writing in Cybertronian language.

Decepticon Soundwave hacks into a US satellite to eavesdrop on the NEST forces, learning the location of the dead Decepticon leader Megatron, and where another piece of the AllSpark exists. The Decepticons retrieve the shard and use it to resurrect Megatron, who flies into space and is reunited with Starscream and his master, The Fallen. The Fallen instructs Megatron and Starscream to capture Sam in order to discover the location of the Matrix of Leadership. Mikaela arrives in town just as Alice, who is revealed to be a Pretender, attacks Sam. Mikaela, Sam, and his roommate Leo destroy Alice, but are captured by Decepticon Grindor. The Decepticon known as "The Doctor" prepares to remove Sam's brain, but Optimus and Bumblebee appear and rescue him. Later on, Megatron is helped by Grindor and Starscream. In the ensuing battle, Optimus ends up getting killed by Megatron.

After Prime's death, Megatron orders a full-scale assault on the planet. The Fallen speaks to the world and demands they surrender Sam to the Decepticons or they will continue their attack. Sam, Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee, the Twins and Wheelie regroup, Leo believing his online rival "RoboWarrior" may be of assistance. "RoboWarrior" is revealed to be former Sector Seven agent Simmons, who informs the group that the Transformers have visited Earth before, as their language is written on ruins all over the world. Wheelie identifies the language as that of the Primes, and directs the group to a former Decepticon named Jetfire, who can translate the language. They find and reactivate Jetfire, who teleports the group to Egypt and explains that the tomb of the Primes is located in the surrounding desert, and only a Prime can kill The Fallen. By following the clues, the group locates the Matrix, but it crumbles to dust in Sam's hands. Believing the Matrix can still revive Optimus, Sam collects the dust and instructs Simmons to telephone Major William Lennox to bring the other Autobots and Optimus's body.

The military arrives with the Autobots, but so do the Decepticons, and a battle arises. During the fight, Decepticon Devastator is formed and unearths the Sun Harvester in one of Egypt's pyramids before being destroyed by the US military. Jetfire arrives in time to save the group from Mixmaster, but is mortally wounded by Scorponok. The Air Force carpet bombs the Decepticons, but Megatron breaks through the offensive and kills Sam.

In a vision, Sam meets with the other Primes, who tell him that the Matrix of Leadership is not found but earned, which Sam has done, and send him back. The dust reassembles to form the Matrix, which Sam uses to revive Optimus. The Fallen steals the Matrix shortly after that and activates the Sun Harvester. In a final effort, Jetfire volunteers his parts and spark, giving Optimus the power he needs to defeat The Fallen. With enhanced capabilities, Optimus destroys the Sun Harvester and takes on Megatron and The Fallen, killing The Fallen brutally and saving humanity. Megatron and Starscream retreat and vow that their fight is not finished.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!! BOO!!!!! Ok.. that's enough to reduce my moodiness until this level. *SCREAMING* Anyway, I had been in this bad feelings since Friday. Been self-crying in the night without reasons this few days. (Or perhaps, there is something inside of me that I can't cope with. Sorry can't tell here.)

Anyway, I had decided to leave all this bad feelings behind for a while. Well at least for the next coming 24 hours ahead. Thanks for the non-stop warm greetings from all of my friends and cousins over the phones, Facebook, Friendster, MSN. All of your greetings is far more precious than any diamonds or pearls.

The Day After Merlion City Struck By Influenza A (H1N1)

2009-06-14T22:54:00.024+08:00

Influenza A (H1N1)!!!! Oh no!!! Scary..... Should I canceled my trip to Singapore or just stick to my actual plan? Hmm... Read the breaking news about the most hot current issues of the century online (On 27th May) before I left Malaysia and proceeded to Singapore.

Merlion City Finally Struck By Influenza A (H1N1)

According news from The Reuters......

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The Singapore government on Wednesday confirmed the city-state's first H1N1 flu case, a 22-year-old Singaporean woman who is being quarantined in hospital.

The government has been warning Singaporeans for weeks to prepare for an inevitable H1N1 outbreak in the city-state, a regional financial and trading center and the world's busiest port.

The woman arrived from New York early on Tuesday on a Singapore Airlines flight, and was not picked up by thermal scanners at the airport as she did not have a fever then, the government said in a statement. She was in a stable condition.

The government said it planned to impose home quarantine on around 60 people, mostly Singaporean passengers on the same flight who were sitting near the flu patient, and it urged them to report to the authorities for anti-viral medication.

"This won't be the last case in Singapore unless we could stop people from traveling," Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan told reporters.

The government was continuing with screening at border checkpoints and asked people to stay at home if suffering flu symptoms. It also advised caution over travel to affected areas.

Singapore financial markets shrugged off the news. Singapore's central bank said in April that the global outbreak of flu clouded the outlook for the economy.

(Reporting by Nopporn Wong-Anan; Writing by Neil Chatterjee; Editing by Alex Richardson)

But who cares ??? After making our final checklist, my brother sent us to airport 2 hours earlier to catch our flight approximately 10P.M. in the morning and estimation we will arrived at Changi Airport 12Noon.

While on the plane... Yeah !!! Bored till I mad :( Thus, I'd grabbed my camera and took some pictures (Oh gosh!! Do forgive my silliness)

Sayonara !!!! Kota Kinabalu!!!!

Mom's chubby lil' packet of Jacob biscuits

"Tick!!! Tock!!! Clock is ticking." 2 and a half hours gone and we were finally arrived at Changi Airport which was the entrance gate of the "Merlion City". Due to the Influenza A (H1N1) struck the city a day before, so the Ministry Health of Singapore had set up a screening area inside the immigration counters. So everyone got the chance passed through a huge plasma TV - Just like those plasma TV we used to watch football match at Food City Kolombong.

Since this was not a family trip, we went to Singapore with dad's friend - Uncle Loh and his wife (But his wife will be joining us only in the second day). He was the one who had been arranged the trip from air tickets till accommodation. After we had gotten our luggage, Uncle Loh's friends (Uncle Chris) whom was Sarawakian but had been migrated from Malaysia to Singapore few years back had picked us up and sent us to the place where we gonna stay for 3 days 2 nights - Costa Sands Resort (Pasir Ris).

I just love this resort, It's very calm and relax!! In My next post I'm gonna bringing u all touring around the resort. So stay tune !! Before I wrap up my post, here are a picture of My parents, Uncle Chris and Uncle Loh taken during our lunch session at one of the food court inside Costa Sands Resort.

Watching all this travel documentary shows has been my favorite routines. How I wish I could be one of them in future. (Neh...... That's only happened in my dreams.) With my limited strength and energy, I won't be able like one of them.

But thanks to my "Little Friend" here : Yoko - Yoko (It's been accompanied me in my entire trip to release my muscle pain on my legs caused by over-walking)

So, do you wanna know what I did in Singapore?? Let's hop on and get yourself:

Finally I got my another pair of Shoes which I had ordered from GoodArch.

Here how's the shoes look like:

Supposed it is black in color, but Mrs. Tan told me couple weeks ago that the black one is out of stock, and she was asking me pick another color. So instead of black, I had chose Navy Blue.

But when I got the shoes yesterday, I thought it was in black at the beginning but actually it was navy blue. So now I can wear it during my Singapore trip already.

Finally the day has come, tomorrow I will be leaving Malaysia going to Singapore for a week of vacation. (Just done my packing) Gosh!! Read a news online today by saying that now Singapore had been confirmed that got infected by Swine Flu (Or better known as H1N1). Looks like I better bring along my mask as well.

So I will be away from blogging for a week, will bring back more updates after my return to Malaysia. (Hope I can come back safely without quarantine.... CHOI!!!! CHOI!!! CHOI!!!)

Heh...... Heh......
