Sui borrr???

My very own lappy / pc at 33 years old... me a bit slow, i know.. heheeheh..

I especially like the touchpad.. unlike the conventional touchpad, this one looks 'sturdier'.. can tahan kena water & such.. HAHAAHAH..

Happy, happy, happy!! Now will need to shop for 'accessories'.. haven't even paid for this lappy, already need to spend more $$$ on accessories.. :)

Weekend Trip to Penang

2009-08-30T22:17:00.002+08:00

Jaya 'kindly' invited us to stay over at his new place in Penang over the weekend (I think it was 2 weekends ago.. heheheh...).

We took a flight out from Senai airport on Friday nite. Surprisingly, we arrived at Penang almost 1/2 hour earlier! I think this is the first for AirAsia.. heeheheh...

Anyway, to kick-start our jam-packed itenenary (courtersy of Lee the Man), we had supper at one of the more well-known nasi kandar restaurant. Food was good, but a bit expensive. Also, the waiting staff there can't speak Malay!!! Walau lorrr... Jaya had to speak to them in Tamil.. so funny..

View from Jaya's condo.

Makan & Minum

We had Dim Sum for breakfast. This is the only self-serving dim sum place I've ever been to lorrr... From ordering/collection of dim sum, to adding water for the tea, to paying...

At night, we went clubbing. Liked the band, but the DJ sucks. The place was crowded though, but can't remember the name of the place liao..

Sight-Seeing

Hot Hot Hot day... except on the Sunday @ St Anne's Church.

First stop - Bukit Bendera

Super duper hot and stuffy inside the 'train'. And the officers packed everyone in like sardines!! I guess part of the 'Bukit Bendera' experience is the ride in the train, but the officers thoroughly ruined what could be a scenic and leisurely trip by packing so many people until most people can't even see what's going on.. thumbs down for that.

Next was Kek Lok Si Temple.

The place is HUGE!!! But then arrr... it feels more like Sentosa to me.. parking, need to pay.. take the tram, need to pay (this one ok larr..) then arrr... go to the pagoda area, NEED TO PAY!! walau lorrrrr....

They even had a restaurant serving vegetarian food (with promotion somemore hor.. dun play play) and also sooooo many stalls selling t-shirts, souveniers and stuff!!!

Next day we visited Khoo Kongsi Temple

This is a temple ran by the Khoo Clan. Not as big as Kek Lok Si, but not less majestic. Also charges entrance fee to visit their 'museum'.

Lastly, St Anne's Church.

We had to cross the Penang Bridge as St Anne's is located in the mainland.

Very spacious and peaceful. It started to drizzle shortly after we arrive, and we sat around chatting, until it was time to go for our long-awaited seafood dinner before catching the flight home...

A bit rush for this trip as we packed as much activities as we can for the 2 days. Must make another trip, but at a more leisurely pace :)

My San Shi San Da Shou @ Pattaya

2009-07-19T21:43:00.002+08:00

Thanks to all who came, and also for the GENEROUS gifts!!!! :)

'Family' Portrait

I've made the reservation like a month back, and asked for the mezzanine floor, coz I thought it was a private area... when I reached there, I realised it was just a raised platform :S

Anyway...

The Place:
Facing Tebrau Highway, at Tmn Sentosa area. Looks classy but parking is a pain. There's a massage parlour within the restaurant premises itself and also a pub next to it. Heard from friends that the pub is also a part of the restaurant.

The Food :
A bit too spicy for everyone. Not sure if this is what they call authentic. But then again, I've been to Sukhothai @ Eden, and the food was superb, not as spicy as Pattaya's.

Total spent was about RM870. For the environment and service, it was reasonable. But I felt that the portion was a bit too little, and again, VERY spicy.

Ber Ber in shock.. See too many people liao.. hehehehe..

Matchmaking session in progress... Yahan very 'on', but Ray bo-chap lehhh... SOOOO COOL lorrrr...

The father too eager liao... Ray kena forced to take pictures.... HAHAHAAHAH!!

TQ TQ all for the wishes!! Hope for many many more happy years to come.. HAPPY 33RD BIRTHDAY TO ALL OF US!!!!

Angela Bday @ De' Bali

2009-07-19T21:27:00.002+08:00

TQ Angela horrr....

Thanks to her, we had 2 bottles of Vodka.. hehehe...

The place a bit weird lorrr... no one dance de worrrr.. only we all shiok sendiri lorrr... Then arr, the place we sat, got droplets of water falling on us lorrr.. Me thinks it's from the fan larrr..

The 'chop chop' dance.. HAHAHAAHAH!!!

Somebody please get a man for her fast fast lorrr!!!!

Happy 33rd Birthday!!!

What the Hell did I do??!!

2009-05-31T21:18:00.005+08:00

I succumbs to my inner evil desire =_=

I saw a Burberry bag that cost S$900!!! No discount lehhh.. heart pain lorrr, so didn't buy..

Instead, I bought this....

Thanks to IRENE YEOH horrr, I walked into all the branded boutiques in Ngee Ann today, including lining up to get into the LV boutique!! HAHAHAAHAHH.. recession? What recession??

If I ever get myself a LV bag or the S$900 Burberry bag, please check me in to a mental hospital. Something must be very wrong with my brains, or I'm super depressed.. I may just kill myself while hugging the bag!! HAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!

Video of Tim & Celeste's Wedding

2009-05-28T00:03:00.002+08:00

Nice?? :)

Time flies lorr...

I got to know them when I was working in my 2nd company. That was in 2005 / 2006??

My greatest fear when joining a new company?? NO ONE LUNCH WITH ME!! HAHAHAHA!! Laugh all you want, but that's my weakest point.. hehehe...

Luckily for me, Kearin ajak me out for lunch on my first day, together with the rest of buyers, which include Tim & Celeste.

They had this grand story of how they were classmates in university, but didn't know that they were interviewing for the same job in the same company. It was a coincidence that they met again on their first day.. yeahhhhh riteeee... But all of us bought that story lorr... HAHA!!!

AND I was there 'sibuk-ing' trying to cari a BF for Celeste (by the way, the said guy is happily attached now, and have 'guo he chai qiao' liao. HAHAHAH.. hope he's reading this, coz he still owes me abalone!!).

Oh well... over the years (not many years larr.. I was there for slightly over a year only.. hehe.) we grew quite close, maybe due to the long working hours that all of us had to 'suffer'.. but having nice colleagues sure make things EASIER to bear.. :)

Many, many happy memories there, I did enjoy my short stint there. Busy, yes.. but enjoying every minute of it with the support & company of these great colleagues.

I wish the both of you, have a happy & blissful marriage. Remember 10 May 2009 should you reach a roadblock. It was a great day!

And Tim, remember your promise to me. I'm turning 35 soon.. ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

2009-05-24T21:29:00.002+08:00

This woman sooooo cute.. She said she accidentally got her hair stuck with a brush while blowing it, and had no choice but to cut it off. Then, she told her hairdresser not to cut ALL her hair off, since she had a hard time growing them to the current length. And soooo.. this is the end result.

SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTEEEEEEEE!!!!

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAH!!!!!

Ber Ber's Full Moon

2009-05-24T21:27:00.001+08:00

Happy 1 month old, Ber Ber!!!!!

I went to Paradise!!! (PART II)

2009-05-21T21:32:00.003+08:00

Sights & Sounds of Bali... Beautiful place :)

Kuta

I guess this is the main tourist spot. Lots of bars, restaurants and shops. I had my hair and the 'tattoo' done there, on the beach!! :)

The Bali bombing memorial

Shopping at Kuta is rather expensive, compared to elsewhere. But food prices were more or less the same.

Pineapple Fried Rice.

I had this at a nice cozy restaurant called Ketupat. We were actually walking along a row of shophouses in Kuta, towards the memorial. Then we saw a table with a menu on it (with the lightbulb hanging just above the menu! hehehe). It looked interesting, and we walked in through an open space and into a walkway. I didn't expect much at first, but when I walked in, I loved the decor of the place! There was a pool in the middle of the area, with tables around it. We chose to sit inside the restaurant though, coz it was a bit hot & stuffy. Food was good, with friendly staff. Just a bit slow...

Goa Gajah

This is loosely translated as Elephant Cave?? hehehe.. it's a temple of, I think..

The actual cave itself is very small, less than 5 mins and you're done. But I very sua, you see.. So stayed for quite some time around the area to take pix... :)

Kintamani

My so-called photography skills didn't do justice to the view that greeted us...

Beautiful, beautiful scenery. We can only watch it by the road side :S

We drove along a long & winding road uphill, to be greeted by this beautiful scene. Maciam a scene from Lord of the Rings.. hehehehe...

The place was really cool, almost like Genting. Sadly, our experience was marred by the local 'traders'. The moment we step foot on the paveway, a group of traders, mostly women and young children (they are the orang asli, as informed by our driver when I asked later) swarmed us with their 'wares'. Sarongs lar, pencils lar, trinkets larr.. and even ink 'tattoo'.

But then arrrr.. when we agreed to a price for an item, they would turn around and say the price they agreed on is for another item, the ones that we wanted are more expensive!!! That's like cheating lorrr!! That's why some of us ended quarelling with them.

My advise? Ignore them completely. They'll still pester you, but just walk away. You can get better deals for the same stuff elsewhere.

However, all said & done, they are just trying to make a living... Quite sad, really. I heard from our driver (from the villa, while on the way to the airport on the final day) that seafood is very expensive in Bali. Most families can't afford to eat them. The main food are pork & chicken meat. He added that he only bring his wife & 2 children for seafood @ Jimbaran Bay during his wedding anniversary, and he spends around IDR500,000 each time. It's considered as a luxury... We very ho miah horr.. everyday big fish, big meat...

Nice horrr...

Tanah Lot

MUST GO!!!!!

It's high tide, we can't cross over to the temple.. wasted... :(

But nonetheless, the view was breathtaking!!!!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.....

We had lunch there. Surprisingly good and not very expensive.. we had a great view of the temple from the 'restaurant'.

Uluwatu Temple

Lots of monkeys around!!

Make sure you hold tightly to your stuff!!! A monkey grabbed a lady's unbrella coz she was swinging the thing while walking!! And when our driver tried to retrive it, that monkey 'showed' him his two long and sharp teeth!!! Walau lorr.. so fierce!!!!

Ses Lee's bro act cute!!! :>

Actually, this place quite big. But it was a hottttttt day, so we tak larat walk too far. hehehehe...

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

That sums up my trip. Worth a visit lorrr... My take is if you are not too choosy about the accommodation and don't shop a lot, I think you can do 4D3N under RM1k. Come to think of it, nothing much to buy lorrr...

But for the experience, try the villa. Lots of it in Bali (if you do not want to be too far off from Kuta, choose a villa in Legian / Seminyak area). Pamper yourself a bit larr.. All in all, I spent under RM2,000. Air-fare, accommodation, transport with driver for 2 days at 10 hours per day (airport transfers provided by villa), food, some HardRock t-shirts, some trinkets, tips and not forgetting, an in-house Balinese massage :)

Will definitely go there again. Fingers cross!!!

I went to Paradise!!! (PART I)

2009-05-20T22:27:00.007+08:00

Back from Bali!!!

Summary of my trip : 13 - 16 May 2009, Wednesday - Saturday. Long post horr.. dun fall asleep lehhh....

Treat this as a reference if you guys are planning a holiday in Bali.. heheheheh.. one of the best part of holidaying is PLANNING for it. Try the forums @ TripAdvisor.com. Plenty of advice and you can post your questions there too!

The Journey

Took AirAsia from Changi Airport, Singapore. We left JB around 5am, and surprise, surprise.. no jam at causeway. We reached Terminal 1 by 6.30am and had breakfast there. Hang around till 8am for the check-in, as our flight was due for departure @ 9.55am.

There was a slight delay and we reached Bali 30 mins behind schedule. Same when we depart from Bali =_=

However, I was quite impressed with the plane. The first time I took AirAsia from JB to KL, the seat I had looked like it has seen better day! But this time, the plane looked new, and the seat was comfy! Hmmm.. happy, happy..

The Villa

After all the drama selecting the villa, we finally got the Garden Villa, managed by Serene Villa.

Upon arrival, a row of drivers were hanging outside the arrival hall, holding placecards with their guest's names. I was taken aback at first, coz there were sooooooooo many of them! hehehehe.. Finally, I spotted my name :)

Once we reached the villa, there were like 4 or 5 guys standing at our villa's doorstep and chanting, "Welcome to Bali", "Welcome to Serene Villa", etc, etc while taking our luggages.. It was all a blur lorrr...

The pool :)

One of them showed us around the villa, and at the end of it, reminded me to lock the wooden door in front, and I was like, "What wooden door??" You see, when we arrived, all I saw was people greeting us and ushering us to the villa with welcome drinks, until I didn't notice that we actually walked in from a door!! HAHAHHAHAHAAH!!! I must've looked so stupid!!!! :>:>:>:>

This is where we stayed - 3 bedroom villa. Serene Villa, Seminyak.

Overall, I was happy with the villa, but thought that for the money I paid (around USD400 per night) the villa could be better maintained. The service was excellent though. We had 2 persons preparing our daily breakfasts in the villa, a gardener trimming the grass and cleaning the pool DAILY and a security guard outside our villa!! I WAS TREATED LIKE A SUPER VVVVVVIP lorrrrr.... Man, love to go there again :)

The Driver

We hired a driver, recommended by a taxi driver we took on the first day, when we went to Kuta from our villa.

He looked like a honest guy, but blurrrrr lor... He needs to ask for directions alll the time!! HAHAHAHAHAHA.. but ok lar.. we not rushing for time.

The cost : IRD400,000 per day (10 hours). That's around RM140.00 for a car that fits 8 person. Super cheap lorrr (Exchange rate around RM1 to IRD2,850).

The Food

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! Love love love the food!!!! And it's not terribly expensive either.

Apart from the first day when we had our lunch in a warung, and dinner at a foodcourt @ Kuta, we had most of our meals in restaurants. Total bill for 8-9 pax for 6 meals, (the driver joined us for 3 meals) @ IRD450,000!!

After lunch on the first day, we took 2 cabs to Kuta Beach @ IDR30,000 each. The moment I stepped foot there, I had my hair braided (IDR80,000) & hand 'tattoed' (IDR70,000) Hehehehe...

Nice lehhhh.... :>:>:>:>

We had dinner at an open-air food court in Kuta Beach. Food consist mainly of seafood like grilled squid, Assam fish, etc.

We also had Bebek during one of the lunches. Bebek is actually a duck dish

Looks dry, but NICE!!

We also had pork rib in the same restaurant that serves Bebek.

SUPER GOOD!! It was tender and juicy, with a hint of sweetness.. YUM YUM!!!

But I can't remember where's the restaurant located. The driver told us this is the best recommended restaurant that sells Bebek. It has individual 'huts' for each big table lorrr... very very spacious place. However, the service a bit sucky. No one brought us to the table or hut, we had to walk and look for one ourselves. The when we saw one that we wanted, a waiter shouted at us from afar that the hut was reserved. He then told us to take another hut, which is further in.

Around Bali. The rice field is located in the restaurant itself.

The place was VERY spacious lorrr.. so we need to walk a bit in. Then when we were about to enter the hut, another waitress raised her voice at us, saying that another guest had booked it!!! KNS lorr..

I screamed back at her saying that her colleague asked us to sit there, and that she can check with him if she's not satisfied. I would not have been so irritated if they had been a bit more polite. Thank God the excellent food more than made up for the sucky service. Maybe their business too good liao lorrrr...

For the 2nd night, after all the sight-seeing, we went to Kuta for dinner again. This time, we walked along the road and walked into a restaurant called Ketupat. There's a pool in the middle of the restaurant lehh.. Prices are reasonable but service a bit slow. But the staff are wayyyyy friendlier and apologetic.

Another place that I recommend is the Jimbaran Bay seafood stretch. We went to the driver's friend's restaurant. Can't remember the name again... hehehe...

Seafood dinner by the beach - a MUST go

The menu

The FOODDDDD!!!!

Dinner @ Jimbaran Bay

Total bill for this seafood dinner @ IDR1,076,000 for 9 pax!

That's all for today. Will post the sight-seeing entries tomorrow :)

Congrats, Tim & Celeste!!

2009-05-20T21:58:00.003+08:00

10 May 2009, Sunday - Tim & Celeste's Big Day!!!!

Kearin and I drove to Celeste's place in Yong Peng on Saturday. We shopped a little (bought a baju kurung there for RM50.. hehehheh..) and had buffet dinner at her house.

The pretty bride and handsome groom (note that I didn't say beautiful bride, coz I'M beautiful, not the bride!! HAHAHAHAHA)

The groom's entourage - buey steady! They just sat around waiting for time to pass, REFUSING to play along with the bride's sisters!! KNS! Tim very suey to have friends like them! HAHAHAH!!!

The groom's entourage - remember their faces ok!

Anyway, after they got in the first round, all the sisters rush into the bride's room. And I alone was outside.. second KNS! So..... me alone fending off dunno how many guys. Luckily I've got a loud voice, and a violent nature... hehehehe... By the way, if any of you see me shouting in youtube, please let me know horr..... HAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!!

The bride & groom again.. at niang jia

Then hor... after the morning ceremony, we headed off to the groom's place at Kahang. Those heng tai arr.. drive like they're racing in F1 or something lorr... You know how winding the road from Yong Peng to Kahang? My meter was showing I'm going at 120 - 130 lorrr.. and I have difficulties cathing up with them!!! Third KNS!!!

The bride & groom... at the groom's jia

Anyway, after ALL the drama, we proceeded to the school hall for the luncheon. Kahang is not a very large town, the only place that can accomodate 30 tables was the school hall.

This is the first time I used plastic cutleries (including the bowls & plates used to serve the dishes!!) in a wedding banquet! HAHAHAHAAH!!!!

I sat with the groom's sister and her family. Her hubby kelakar larrr... I think he also scared of me liao, coz I kept beating him... and force him to take pix with me.. hehehehehe...

Back at the groom's place, the bride SUPER bo liao coz the groom peng liao..

And here's the proof...

And I took the opportunity to kao sua him!! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Can't wait for the JB reception on 30th May! :)

Baby Bernice

2009-05-02T00:25:00.003+08:00

Baby Bernice arrived on 22 April 2009

Soli soli... I think everyone should know liao.. hehehehe..

Congats Vince & Moni!!!

Planning to De-stress can be very STRESSFUL lorrrr...

2009-04-14T22:03:00.003+08:00

I've been planning for my Bali trip for quite some time liao..

Once I've confirmed the date, I made the flights booking immediately and that's when my nightmare started..

Before I booked the flights, I went through some websites that introduced Bali in general, and I decided that I WANT to stay in a villa, with a PRIVATE POOL :) Even if I don't use it, looking at it will make me happy :) :) :) :) :) :)

ANYWAY... I emailed some of the villa managements to check out the availabilities and rates. Guess what.. THEY ARE ALL FULLY BOOKED LORRR... my 1st choice, 2nd choice AND 3rd choice.. super walauuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

Finally, I settled for Villa Tania in Seminyak, which looks very luxurious too. It cost USD$400 a night for a 3 bedrooms villa with private pool.

I've sent them the credit card confirmation, and the next day, the management replied that the villa owners don't like the idea of having 8 Adults and an infant staying in their villa!!! SUPER DUPER KNS LORRR!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I'm jinxed or what???

=_=

So now, the latest plan is to stay in a villa next to them, the Serene Garden Villa.. slightly cheaper. But I hope it the holiday itself will turn out well... sighhhhh...

Pictures look nice though.. hmmm.... :)

Reunion - Convent JB, Class of 1993

2009-04-02T23:11:00.005+08:00

28 March 2009, Saturday

Li Yeng & YW organised this event last weekend, and we had high-tea at Grand Paragon Hotel, JB.

The food was so-so, and the range limited. The dessert segment was very, very disappointing. I guess the buffet at Mutiara was far better than here. For the price we paid, I don't think it's worth it. Not in JB at least.

Anyway, this is not about the food.. heheheh...

The turn-out : Li Yeng, YW, Arica, Chin, Angela, YC, BJ, Yee Voon, SL, Sharmini, Pang. Jeannette came too, but she was there with her family. Sharifah also came later.

When Sharifah came, she mentioned her hubby is an inspector attached to the Sri Alam area. EVERYONE started to ask for her hubby's number!! Why? All of you would-be criminals arrrrr?? HAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!

Well, well.... so long time never see some of them liao.. I think after school till now lehhh...

It's not all about YW this time..

Half-way through lunch, SL went over to talk to a mysterious guy. YW & I started to take pictures of them, like paparazzi!! HAHAHA

Who is this Mr Mosaic-face?? Hmmmm......

After lunch, Arica, Angela, Pang, SL, BJ and myself went to CoffeeBean for 2nd round. Seriously, I was not full after the 3 hours lunch lorr.. hehehehehe...

MJ in SG

2009-03-22T22:05:00.003+08:00

No, I didn't see Michael Jackson in SG....

MJ stands for May June.. heheheh...

She was in SG over the weekend, as she said the air fare was too cheap for her to resist!!

I picked her up at Hougang after I finished my work in the office on Saturday, and we drove to Vivocity for lunch.

I brought her to Crystal Jade Dining IN, as I love their String Bean stuffed with Shrimp in Spicy XO Sauce.... I almost finished the whole bowl myself the last time I ate there!! Heheheehehe...

No pix taken during lunch, as both of us were starving!!! We ate so fast, the waitress came and asked us if we wanted to speed up the serving time!!!

Anyway, I think we over-ordered, as we couldn't finish the food... we had 1/2 Peking Duck, a bowl of soup for each of us, Scallop with Salted Egg Yolk (4 pcs only larr), the String Bean and Fried Noodle. Oh, by the way, before the start of the 'proper' main course, we had 2 servings of dim sum - Pan-fried Carrot Cake and Ha Kau.. :) We had to tapau the fried noodle and the duck meat.

We took a walk around Vivocity, as we were too full!!

What's Cooking??!!!

2009-03-15T20:39:00.005+08:00

Got this from Moni last nite.. Actually arr.. I asked for it lorrr. hehehhe..

I've asked her casually sometime back if she'll be ordering cooking wine for her confinement, and she said she's buying it from her sis' mother-in-law. So I asked her to order a bottle for me lorrr...

Then went to collect it yesterday.. FOC lorrr... Thank you worrr!! :)

Long time didn't eat Jiang Jiu Ji liao. The last time I had it was at Ses Lee's house. So thought that I'll try cooking it... heheheh..

Sedap betul!! HAHAAHAHAHA!!!!

Wrong Window.... DAMN!

2009-02-25T22:12:00.003+08:00

You know what happened the other day??

Was catching up with the girls on the usual gossip, while working on some stuff...

I minimised the windows while working on the stuff, and click on the window again when it flashes, to reply the messages...

Well... I typed in my 'comments' and pressed enter... and then I saw the other window flashing, with Moni & YW names on it...

I was blur for a moment.. THEN IT HIT ME!!!

I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE ON MY BOSS' WINDOW LORRR!!!!!!

Super walau...

I told Moni & YW about it... both were laughing...

I can 'feel' that YW was tying VERY hard not to laugh out loud.... I can just imagine her face at that moment lorr..... =_=

Lesson of the day : DO NOT OPEN TOO MANY WINDOWS.. and make sure you're chatting at the correct window before hitting the enter button.... haiiiiii.......

Comments, please...

The Doc Seems to Think That I Kena Bomoh or Something...

2009-02-22T23:10:00.005+08:00

I think the docs nowadays are getting weird...

This is what my nails look like now..

It has been like this since dunno how many moons ago. Went to see a doc 2 mths back, and was given some anti-fungal cream. It didn't work...

Went and see another doctor few weeks back and the doc told me he's never seen that red thing before and told me to go see a skin specialist.. okayyyyyy... that serious mehh....

Nevermind... went to see the specialist that he recommended.. Guess what?

Doc : Oh.. it's pigmentation.. confirmed not blood..
Me : Errr... meaning??
Doc : =_= It's colouring..
Me : Can't be lehh.. I've not painted them for dunno how many donkey years liao..
Doc : Look.. You must've got it somewhere..
Me : But I've not painted them, and it can't be my shoes.. And I've tried using nail polish remover, tried washing it off... but it's still there.
Doc : It's pigmentation.. blah, blah, blah...
Me : I DIN'T PAINT ANYTHING ON IT!!!
Doc : Then someone must've have painted them without your knowledge..
Me : =_=

Seriously, I can't think of any reasons why anyone wants to paint my nails AND without me knowing.. They want to bomoh me arrr???

Annual CNY Dinner + Vsiting

2009-02-04T21:44:00.003+08:00

We had our annual Lau Yu Sheng dinner last Saturday @ Grand Straits Garden Restaurant.

The food was much better than last year, when we had our dinner at Ming Court @ M Suite; at least the portion was sooooooo much bigger!! Hahaahah....

The place wasn't as crowded as I expected. Tried to book the place since 2 years ago, but it was always fully booked. So for this year, I booked more than a month ago! Kiasu horr... bo pian larrr... Otherwise people will complain that I always book the same places year in, year out! HAAHAAHAHA!!!

After dinner, we went over to Arica's place...

As usual lar... free-flow wines all night long!!!

Drink too much larr... Muka pun jadi maciam hantu.. HAHAHAAH

Siapa ni??

Buntut siapa ni?? HAHAHAHAAH

By the time I reached home, 2am liao! Damn tired...

And guess what? NO CURRENT LORRR!!! Super walau!!! But luckily, I was too tired liao.. so slept like a pig...

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

Next morning, I went over to cousin's house and we went over to Moni's house after that..

That YW so bad lorr... Alan wants to take pic with me, but she tak bagi... SOB!!!

Shopping @ SG

2009-01-17T23:38:00.003+08:00

I'm aching from neck to toes!!

Left the house around 9.30am.. jam at checkpoint, then CTE, then Queen's St (for those wondering why I took the CTE instead of PIE, the reason is simple. I only know how to get to Bugis from CTE.. hehhehehe..)

Reached Queen's St only around 11.15am, and I can't find a parking space!! KKNBCCB!!! So I drove around, I parked at the only carpark that was not full, which is in The Bencoolen.

Took the MRT to Orchard, and only managed to reach there 11.45am! Sien arrr...whole morning gone liao!!

Anyway...... met YW and we went on a bargain hunting trip!! HAahahaha!!!..

We went around Orchard area first; Wisma, Lucky Plaza and dunno where else.. hehehe.. I've bought few stuff from Zara, Mondo, Pepper Plus and a roadside stall...

My SGD$9.90 shoes!!!

Then, went over to Bugis, where YW bought her CNY essentials. We put all our stuff into my car, and continued shopping!!

Bought more stuff from Esprit and BYSI..

Esprit bag @ SGD$22.34

Total stuff bought : 3 skirts, 1 pants, 1 bag, 1 'orange carrier' (cute lehhh..) and 2 pairs of shoes. And also a hair clip, coz YW said my hair looked messy!! =_=

Xmas Eve 08 BBQ

2009-01-01T21:11:00.003+08:00

The sky was overcast when I woke up in the morning, and the first thought that came into my mind was, "Xi liao.. how to bbq tonite??"

Anyway... was a bit blur blur that day, went around to collect stuff and preparing the food. Luckily, Irene Y, RK and my dad came to to help out in the afternoon, otherwise, I lagi jialat lorrr.. heheeheh...

I was still outside when Angela called me to say she's at my house liao... paiseh, paiseh... AND IT WAS STILL RAINING LORRRRR!!

Angela helped to set out the tables and chilled the drinks. BJ came next, and helped out with Angela in preparing the cocktail, which I nearly forgotten... heheeh.. see rain whole day, panic liao marrrr..

Roel was next to arrive, with his two princes in tow.. See his pattern-more-than-badminton pose..

The rain finally stopped aound 9pm and strangely, the house was VERY QUIET... you know why?

EVERYONE was surrounding the TV, watching Little Nyonya.. Buey Tahan!!!!

BBQ otak-otak all the way from Muar... but everyone complained too salty lehh...

Food!! And the people behind the cooked food!!

Who is responsible for this??? Waste food!! heheheh...

Drinks!! And the people providing the drinks! hehehehe...

Everyone busy eating...

Random shots..

And more random shots...

The 'jin tian' shot..

Not YW this time, it'sBJ... HAHAHAHHAHA...

Thanks to all who came, especially those who helped out, and 'sponsored' stuff.. hehehe.. saved me a fortune!!!

New CIQ - FAIL!!

2008-12-19T01:00:00.003+08:00

I think we're being trained to become the next F1 drivers..

1st day the CIQ officially opened (16/12/08) - Vince smsed me to tell me massive jam.. he was stuck at JB for 30 mins. YW also called me, to tell me she had to walk 1km and countless escalator to reach the checkpoint. I told her to count her lucky stars that the escalators are working. Given the 'Malaysia Boleh' reputation, the escalators will be out of service VERY soon! hahaha..

And so. I left house earlier as usual..

I took the Stulang way... NO CARS! Thank God!

Few things that I think the designer of the new CIQ should have thought of:

Wider roads - the roads were soooo narrow and winding.. like a F1 circuit lor..

More lanes - only 2 lanes for buses, cars and bikes. I think the least they could do is have a separate lane for bikes all the way.

Placement of direction signboard - When exiting the CIQ after the security check, the left lane is supposed to lead to the link to the North-South Highway (to KL), whereas the right lane is leading to various locations in JB. However, the signboard was placed directly above the divider of the two lanes. Cars coming out from the CIQ will not know this until they reach the divider. Imagine the cars trying to swerve in and out.

And the pedestrian.. it's so dangerous for them to walk and sooooo far lorr... so kesian!!!

I also can't figure out why they need 2 separate counters to check the passport and to pay the toll. Since they are now cashless, can't they just put the scanners outside the officers' windows? Why the need for 2 separate windows? As far as I know, only the furthest counters (one each on the extreme left lane, and another on the extreme right lane) allow the purchase and reload of the Touch N' Go cards. Makes no sense to me lorr..

AND the bottleneck is still there :S All vehicles still need to go pass the old checkpoint when leaving JB. And you know, after the old JB checkpoint, all vehicles had to squeeze into 1 lane? Ya, it caused a jam there today!! SUPER DUPER STUPID!!!!!

Haiii.. spend so much on the building for what? Make wider roads larr!!

Anyway, will give them the benefit of doubt. See how it goes a month later...
