Working Life?

Location: somewhere opposite Pudu...

omg... damn exhausted la wei... feet bengkak... eye swollen (coz didn't sleep laz night...) being a promoter for a day IS NOT FUN ok?!

anyhooo, Wai Tsin and I decided to take up this job as a promoter in SOGO for a Singapore company that just launched a new line of product in M'sia... it's nothing much la... that goes to the pay too... RM 80/day... 9:30am - 9:30pm, 2 hours break daily...

So, Tsin and I took a bus from Ipoh to Pudu at 7:30am and as usual (I'm prone to do that before any outing, as in staying over somewhere for more than 1 day), i couldn't sleep at all the night before...

As yesterday, Tsin called me after me buying the 8:30am ticket, saying that it would be ideal if we can reach Pudu by 10:00am, to settle down and stuff before the interview... I went back to the Plusliner counter to request for a change of ticket (from 8:30 to 7:30) but that biatch there at the counter said it would be alright that if we just show up to catch the bus early in the morning. Taking her word for it, I thought everything was settled but this morning, it turned out that the bus was FULL!

Tsin and I was going to go CRAZYYY............

Letter to You Guys...

Location: at home...

To You...

I'm gona embark on this unprecedented journey (for me atleast...), which is both really daring and out of the box for me. I know by doing this challenged the traditional way things run under the roof... but I just had to do it... Call it what you want.. for me, it's the last hurrah before facing the music, headstrong.

I know if you guys were to know this, you'd be furious, not to mention you'll start seeing my not getting an offer (yet) as a less pessimistic affair... atleast you guys still can keep an eye on me right?

Relax, it's not something illegal... An am gona try to come back in one piece, nothing less...

Just... let me have my vacation please?

I'm sure to come clean... in due time.


p/s: am digging Kid Rock's new tune =)

p/p/s: shyt.. i always tend to sabo myself subconsciously one lor... Can't sleep... big day tomorrow... gona look like a panda... no doubt... haiz... Hello ever-reliant concealer~

Penang Trip 2

Location: On the sofa @home.
First things first,
Happy bday Zhao Xuan~~
whoa... after the 2nd day of the tiring road trip in Penang... finally HOME~
ok, so what if wasn't me who drove.. nor were I paying all expenses... so what if I wasn't the one who planned the thing.. I DID participate and paid attention in the trip alright?
er.. ok.. MOST of the trip.
It's a pretty good experience actually... our first family road trip~
So, we rounded island from some where near our hotel, Dorcett, to gurney... to teluk batik to have that awesomely cool (and not to mention obviously expensive) durians (2 = 20++)... batu ferringhi... then Air Itam!!
So the cool la their Laksa.. It's not my first time having it but for some reason, it tasted fantastically delicious~ Maybe it's the company I'm with that made the difference...
Then we came back.
yea, the trip's pretty short on the whole. Seeing that we woke up at around 11. OKOK.. it was me who woke up at 11:15am and reached home at 7-ish (only coz we need to check out at 12pm), it's not like EVERYDAY i get to wake up in a suite ok?!
I'm glad that we get to spend this quality time together... as a family. This road trip got dad planning for the 2nd one and also got mom excited about the East Coast, of the peninsular of Malaysia.
That'd be fun~ can't wait =)
p/s: watched Grave of the FireFlies (火垂るの墓, Hotaru no Haka) with mom and dad and bro. Cried my sox off... loved it... Setsuko is really cute.. =~~(

Penang Trip 1

Location: Dorcett hotel, penang island.

Well, this trip turned out to be a little more eventful than i thought to be... IF...

yes, there's always a if/but.

This was supposed to be a family outing, vacation, getaway or whatever you people call it... Which was supposed to mean,

1. no work
2. no work related matters
3. full on family time
4. will be added when i can think of anything else.. hehe.. lame i know...

So, here we are, in this little hotel suite (yes, I did say suite~ SwEeEt indeed... no, we're not rich, it's just that dad's got this membership of some sorta discount thingy for hotels and hence, we paid around 150++ for a suite for the four of us... which was like.. WHOASSS, CHeaP k?! Anyways...) dad's flipping through his testimony, aka. weapons in the biz battle field & not to mention essential for sponsoring... Hmm.. can he like.. REST for a while?

Sometimes I wonder if dad's gona relax... you know... just for one day... take a rest... Chill..

Anyhoo, Why Penang you say?

Dad was a grad from USM like decades ago... So needless to say he enjoyed his days here, as a studious young lad (yes, even back in the days he's had this OCD thing with studies, now it's replaced by work...). Penang was his Sunway to me I guess...

By the by, we went to this awesome Toy Museum, which kononnya was one of the biggest Toy Museum in the world wor... Swt... even so, we managed to have a good (roughly) 2 hours in the small loosely put up (and not to mention very disorganized) facility filled with toys ranging from Astro boy to Nightmare Before Christmas to... well.. Barbie Dolls.

Before you start judging me, I have to say.. I don't understand my obsession over these lifeless plastics in the early years and that I find it to be entertaining to cut their hair off whenever and however I please... (Ok... right about now... I actually sound a little sadistic... hmm...)

Maybe that's why I'm afraid of cutting my hair now.. Karma's a biatch.

Anyhooooo... Gurney on a Saturday night was... very full! We were stuffed though we went on and on about the overpriced food sold there... Felt so Cheated... =(

So, what's in store for tomorrow?

What I can certainly forsee is.. FOOD... MORE FOOOOOOOD!!!

omg... this Penang Trip is ruining my on again, off again diet...

Man... For Food or Beauty.

... Food, Hands Down =)

My Curled Locks, finally.

Location: @home, in my room.

First things First... Happy belated bday Coca~~


So, updates on our family vacation plan... We are hovering between the ideas of 9 days Beijing trip and this 11 days Europe trip.

The pros are as follows...

9D Beijing Trip

1. Bro and I haven't been there before though mom and dad went there like 5-6 years ago. 2. Beijing's in a period of time where the buildings are still in very good conditions all thanks to the Olympics. 3. The tour agency we consulted, Keris, have this really attractive 3k++/pax, where, according to mom (and the brochure) , the food and accommodation provided will be pretty good. Coz they have this thing, this special offer upgrading the hotels to 5 star ones... 4. Mom, dad & Bro lurve stuff about chinese history and really eager in sharing/trying to influence me to lurve 'em too...

I'm actually quite ok with it... since it's a place that i haven't been to, and as long as my family's going together, i don't really mind where. However, dad's pretty disappointed as he had his heart fixed on going to Europe. We suggested places like Egypt and Turkey but he's not at the least keen... oh well...


11D Europe Trip
(south of france and italy)

1. all of us haven't been there before. 2. the currency's low now (due to the eco crisis and all...) so it's more worth it to go for vacation now than later when the economy recovers.

However, this trip doesn't include places like Paris and Germany, where I so wanna go... to check out the concentration camps, the remnants of Berlin Wall and stuff...
Besides, shopping wouldn't be as fun when the exchange rate's almost 1 to 5++. I heard that they sell an ice-cream for 1.5 euro in those tourist hotspots... mygawddddd!! so the expensive... and ice-cream's like one of the staple food for me... *sniff* *sniff*

Actually we wanted to go to this other Europe trip which included places like Paris, France, Switzerland and Germany, in other words, ideal for us but was canceled due to lack of people. In order for a trip to get the green light, there have to be atleast 16 participants and apparently around 7.5k for a 9days Europe trip is too expensive. So mommy's worried that this 11day trip, which cost about RM 9299/pax will have problem attracting people...

Anyhoooo, I finally curled my hair today with piggy.



Like... curled permanently, atleast for the next 2-3 months.

And I'm almost blonde now,,, Keyword: almost...


Though this pic cannot do justice to the real color of my hair...


This is the first time I dyed and curled my hair... =)


From this....

To This...


Think it's alright?


p/s: yes, i'm wearing my favourite Pikachu/pokemon nightie!!

What's worse, my bro's gona miss his convocation.

Now that ur country's economy's turning into shit, we, as generous people are willing enough to want to SPEND money in your country... and you just rejected my bro's Visa.

It's just YOUR stupidness that cost your country.
