Bye Marican

Today marks the last day of Marican being our big boss..so there was a massive try-to-shake-marican-hand crowd at the lobby. I was impatient after waiting for more than 45mins still cannot see his white hair and white moustache. But yet, a loud applause and cheer stopped me.

I tip-toed over the crowd and tried to get a glimpse of him but the crowd were too hyped and all surrounded him like got free gold.

Crowdyyy

At least manage to snap half of his head and I was two person away from him!

The consequences = leave KLCC at 6pm, stand in the train for 40minutes, stuck in the jam at Kelana Jaya for 30minutes, reach home at 8pm ( 2hrs later than usual). See how loyal I am to pet?! (or maybe just to TS H. Marican)

What a start of the year

First was the david tao’s concert tickets I won, but gave them away due to short notice.

Thennn… supposed to go to my dept’s family day in Sungkai but later got caught up with something to do in KL so ffk my department but yet, I got this–>>

At first I was expecting the doorgift to be a notebook, a mug or some usual corporate souvenir until I unwrap the wrapper. Then I blinked. What? Doorgift = 250GB of external harddisk. Really speechless..

Okay, the aftershock of the doorgift dint end there..when my colleague told me I got a lucky draw (even though I was not present, but I paid some amount to the ‘young executive club’ so my name was in the lucky draw). Believe or not, when I open the envelope, I saw this—>

SOGO Shopping voucher worth RM450. -_- I bought my new year clothes ad, shall use it some other time.

That is not all. Today I went to kerteh, an unplanned trip to attend the mentoring session. And guess what, during the brain teaser session, they gave me my most confident subject- puzzle, and somemore is sudoku. So I was smiling away in my heart that the hamper is going to be mine. As predicted, I got third not first because my SM confused himself in the sudoku and change some numbers. A big no-no. Anyway, we both got hamper each but couldnt bring it back to KL by flight so we gave them away (but I took the nips out.ahhaha)

The feeling of winning is superb.

Love the goddess of luck!

Annoying excitement

I know I am getting annoying now. By changing my gtalk status, facebook, petronas communicator status just to tell people I has just won a pair of tickets to David Tao concert in Singapore. Too bad not including accommodation ( demanding dah ni).

I am too excited cus it is the sort-of a  big contest prize I have ever won ( unless you consider Wrigley’s chewing gun hamper worth more than 200rm a big prize. I couldnt finish all the chewing gun at all.like one year supply of chewing guns)

Anyway,  I won it by this slogan that i wrote down in 2 minutes (which explains that it is very lousy but still win *wink*)

I love David Tao because of his breath-taking voice,his impressive music, his truthful lyrics and his will-not-make-you-regret-watching live performance!

I know you are rolling your eyes now.. like that also can win..really cincai punye slogan. No bombastic words or flowery sentences.  Somemore no cost incurred cus I sent in through email. =P

I think I will be going with Natasya because she is the only one free on this Friday. Really hope that this spontaneous trip will work out. =)

Of Jam,Strawberries and mushrooms

The first thing I did when I reach home on new year eve was run upstairs,change, light make up and said ‘ mi, Im going to the curve ar.. ‘ while closing my gate. ( useless daughter, luckily parents invited frens for mahjong at home)

The traffic going to the curve was surprisingly smooth, cus i took the hidden passage instead of the usual road. And I got myself a nice parking the moment i turn into IKEA. =) Lucky**

Met up with Jes, her family, dee, zh and his gf. Gobbled a plate of pasta with ham and got ready to welcome year 2010 with the crowd.

Jes and I

The crowd,we dare not to go near the center cus some massive spraying activities were going on

While waiting for the fireworks at 12, we kinda observed what the crowd was doing (just like everyone else,for ppl who cannot go near to the stage) . Some girls gone wild and sprayed foams into their mom’s dress from bottom (and the mom dint mind at all, fascinating scene). Some young boys were doing stunts ,jump flipping off from high ground. And some gender-in-between were doing sexy poses for their photographer, like pouting, showing maximum cleavage, and some tyra-banks-inspired pose. -_- its okay if you kap from their booties up to their neck, please dont go up further cus you might wave goodbye to 2009 with nausea.

We stood at a roofed place so can only see partial of the fireworks.

with tails

The show ended with massive jam, just like every year. I was caught up on the less than 1km road going out to ldp for 1.5hrs. =|

On the first day of 2010, I went uphill to pluck strawberries nd mushrooms. Nahh, that was part of the itinerary. (main activity is to get new year angpao from uncle lim)

This is how your farm look like in the real facebook farmville. Hahaha,no lost black/white sheeps

Me and the berries

The strawberry menu. The coffee tastes the same,just that the strawberry smell linger in your mouth after that

Hey pink mushroom! like mouse ears.=P

and cactus

and the vege i like to eat- dao miu

I am finally going back to kl this Friday,after two months of sunbathing and rainwashing in Kerteh. Yay~

Happy 2010!

A very little christmas

Oh wait.. supposed to be  writing about my bro’s wedding…it was short and simple. Hence, a short section for that.

Registration day at Buddhist Association

Nothing is complete without this!

Very notty bride

Somehow I like this picture alot...looks like a studio.

My cousins and I

Thats all~

*******************************************************************

Then last week was Christmas. Fell sick the day before going back to kl, and have yet to recover till today. Met up with ss,xinyi,wz,nata and shen (the future SBO za fit yan) to celebrate his birthday aka christmas. Then watched Sherlock Holmes , it was crazy to get movie tickets (or go to any of the malls) during festive season. Parking full, rubbing shoulders with shoppers, queueing up to 5 loops to buy movie tickets and even have to queue to get a seat at eateries. Really wasted a lot of time waiting and waiting. I bet burger king do not have enough burgers for feed everyone there.

My crooked xmas tree. Think my dad hang too many deco on it till it tak tahan ad

Boxing day is supposed to be shopping day for me. But Malaysian shops 365 days so noone is super-hyper on Boxing day. So I went to watch dolphins and sealions instead. THEY ARE SO CUTEEEEEEEEEE….

My ticket. No need queue cus ticket very expensive, so ppl tink twice before going in

Phin-phins!!

cutie sealions kept clapping their 'hands'

The dolphin lean against them and looked like a toy! shiny skin.

I took alot of videos of them doing stunts. Too bad its HD,so it is too big to upload it ..If you like to see cute animals, then you should go to Pyramid to watch them. They are way smarter than you thought.

After the show, I went to Beulah’s house for Christmas gathering..

The two reindees.. me first time wearing that.

Miss beulah in front of her beautiful piano.

Last but hope not too late…Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I wish everyone to achieve their new year resolutions in 2010. As for me, I wish to do something I really have interest in, in 2010.

BBQ in Kerteh

Disclaimer : No pork chop.

One fine evening, Angie suggested to have a year-end gathering for the Kerteh folks. So a BBQ it is.

I marinated the chicken wings!

Actually i learnt the marinate sauce from kc. Hehe..im genius ok, he only showed me once then I can remember all the ingredients ad.=P

Then the guys brought some vodka and wine. Mixed with juices.

Some seniors from UTP, some from petronas

Appreciating the wonderful tradition we have

Chef of the day,Jarryd (kerbau's housemate)

Angie, prettiest of them all. The malay colleagues of hers always kap her like mad. up down left right.

The light was warm, the air was breezy (because Rantau Laut housing area is by the beach) and the gathering was simply happening in this quiet town. And they kept asking me ‘ when you are leaving?’ because somehow the bbq was my farewell. haha….but to me, it was just a reason to have a gathering afterall (in a good sense).  ” Every event must have a purpose.And the purpose makes things meaningful.” Quoted from Timothy.

For more photos, please visit my facebook.

Next up: my bro’s wedding in Penang.

my not-so-flawless face

Yesterday I went clicking on my opu’s homepage…then the photo that pop out makes me feel like asking the corporate affairs ppl to remove it. SOBS..

Sigh

Of so many shots, why must put such close-up picture of mine. Till can see my pimple scars!! Btw, thats my cover-all. You might ask why it is in blue.not yellow. The answer is cus we dont wana advertise for Digi. ahhaa..nah, becauseee *INFO* blue symbolizes gas, and our OPU uses ethylene gas to produce polyethylene (duhh..if any pet engineer ask me why ethylene is in gas form,I will ask them to go retake their degree.)

I am currently lying on my queen-size bed, watching ‘unsolved history of pearl harbour’ on discovery channel, and simultaneously watching tvb. Then Miss Beulah (who is spending her first weekend not in KL, great achievement *clapclapclap* ) just texted me and asked me to go Kuantan. (Booo… this girl cant even sit still at home for a quiet weekend…forgive her, she cant live without malls) But I dont wana get stuck in the flood and jam for 2 hours just to cross the bridge! haih…tough decision. doink doink! shall blog about the flood later. Now hotel very dry so no picture for you guys.

Simply delicious

Now that I am stuck in the midst of  a pool of dirty rainwater * glance over the window, parking lot is nowhere to be seen* , so I decided to write something about how i spent my weekend in ipoh.

Last week was Haj holiday and in this land, it was a bonus two-days holiday so I got 4 days weekend ( hak! finally I got something that makes you jealous ,miss hew) . Anyway, I carpooled kerbau’s kerbau (sounds so weird, but yeah, his car is gray and it looks like a buffalo) to kl since he is meeting nata there. Then the next day I took a bus up north to ipoh, it has been awhile since I took  a bus and I was not comfortable sitting next to  stranger. Thus, I was awake whole journey, in case he ( a Burmese or something) pretends to fall asleep and lean against me. bluek! Kc fetched me to tong sui kai and I ate two bowls of tong sui despite after having a quite-heavy dinner at home. If you give me 10 bowls of tong sui everyday also no problem cus I used to finish whole pot of tong sui alone at home , for my mom.

Oh oh, I forgot to mention…my hp died on Thursday morning (the day I went back to kl) ,very fortunate that it decided to do me a favor to wake me up before it shows blank face to me. I went to work without handphone and I felt like I have lost a part of my soul. I kept trying to resurrect my hp but it was so stubborn. This is how technology controls us, worse than losing IC, passport or credit card.  So the first thing I do is to fix my handphone when I reach kl,the stupid guy told me it is the screen that is causing problem and said need 140rm to replace the LCD. I waas like ” I rather trade it off then…” so I went to Ipoh to ask again. And the hp guy said the sliding part spoilt and only cost 60rm. Finally after few hours of surgery, my hp came alive. =))) That night we had BBQ at kc’s house. Meat meat and sausages…and mahjong…and poker after that, felt so seashore-holiday.

The next day, we went to watch Planet 51, which is a funny animation that talks about aliens seeing human as alien on their planet. A mind-relaxing movie I would say. plus I get to watch for freeee cus I got a free ticket on my birthday month. Muahhaha.. After lingering around, we decided to go home and kc made me this–>

Carbonara ala chef chai

Forgive the macaroni, supposed to be spaghetti but search whole tronoh and taman maju also cannot find one freaking-precious spaghetti. It was Sunday and most shops closed. But type of noodle is not a factor so nvm, it was perfecto with pork ham strips. Give me carbonara yee min also I will finish it. =) Thankiu darling. lalalalala…

Sorry that the carbonara macaroni is the only picture I took whole journey. I forgot to take picture of the BBQ , nor the dimsum brunch I had, nor the cendol I had, nor the yong taufu I had. Mainly because I dont wana make you all jealous about another thing,besides the 4 days weekend *Evil laughter*

Hope the sky will stop crying cus I am bad at handling tears. I dont want my car to die in the middle of the road. *finger crossed*

two more years to 2012

After two weeks of struggling in a pork-free land, I went home last weekend to meet with jes and kahling for 2012!! And not to forget kl and her special friend Aaron , also the very kesian punye Shen who sat behind me during the cinema and kept kicking my chair (dunno for wat,maybe too lonely at the back). HAHAHA…

 

Before the movie, we went to Dragon-i for some more-human-consumable food (as compared to what I had here). Miss Hew ate her porkchop fried rice at the speed of 1spoon/5mins , so one can imagine how long she finish half of the pot. The moral of the story is if you feel full, you shud eat faster so that you dont feel bloated till you can only finish half of the food portion like Miss Hew. (Sumo kept drinking the chinese tea, mentang2 is free flow). In the end I stuffed her a shanghai dumpling before I went off to get my bag. After I come back, I find only one bite on the dumpling. -_-

look closer to her friedrice and see how much is it inside!

miss hew, jessss and i

After the meal, jess introduced a ‘new’ shortcut to us. So we took a few photos there (next to a dustbin) .

Jes says, its a NEW shortcut !

Jes and her sis, Li May

The library, new hangout spot for nightlife-ter

 

I doubt you can find any encyclopedia inside. Maybe ‘ Alcohol 101′ or ‘The philosophy of drinking’ or ‘  How to check out hot chicks for Dummies’

A horse carrying a lamp on his head outside the library. hurmm..

So thats my weekend. Next up is Lookout point in Cheras. But I think miss hew dun wana bring us la, jes.. She got special friend enough ad..sobs
