My Last Day At Work

I am going to school again!!! Going back to being student, acting like a school girl, doing projects, having exams..ok, it doesn't sound really good but still, I'm quite excited.

So, I had to say bye bye to my company last friday which was pretty sad cos I had been with them for 1 year plus. And, the people there had all been nice to me, helping and teaching me along the way. I really should count myself lucky for getting into a companty where everyone is nice, not much backstabbing or cocky people.

These people are like family to me during my days in the company.

Cindy, my neighbour (sitting beside me). She knows everything about me. My bad habit of sitting unlady-like, taking snacks (influencing her to have it with me along the way) and playing games when I really have nothing better to do.


Christina who fusses with my hair and outfit (in a good way) like a mother hen at times.


Chia, the accountant who is ever in a rush to go bank and Post Office.


Katherine (beside me) loves to study accounts. She really inspire me to go for what I'm passionate about. Life-long learning really applies to her and I'm sure, she'll still go on and study till she is old.


My lovely lunch buddies. Going to miss having lunch with both of them.


Actually there are more staff in the company but I didn't take photos with all of them.

Desaru with my family

Went to Malaysia Desaru with my family on Sunday. It is a 1 day tour package that my parents signed up for cos my mum is super bore at home. Having had fractured her arm 2 months ago, she have been given medical leave till now, so whenever there is a chance to get out of the house, she will jump for it.

In case anyone does not know where Desaru is (like me), here’s a map


If anyone is looking for short and cheap trips and are lazy to plan the itinerary yourself, I think Desaru is a pretty good place to visit. Konsortium had everything planned out and they only charge $70 per pax, inclusive of meals and transport. Although the meals are not really that wonderful, along the way you get to sample this and that and you get to learn a lot of things so it’s not that bad.

First up, we went to CocoaRich Chocolate Gallery where we got to sample lots of chocolate. They had tomato, mango, tongkat ali, sesame, etc. Using the ‘we want to buy but must try first excuse’ we tasted one chocolate after another until we are really happy before we really bought a few unique flavours to let our friends and relatives try.





Our next stop was Desaru Fruit Farm where they have many kinds of fruit and I seriously can’t remember al their names, so I’m going to just post pictures.

What the tour guide is showing us is bolong long. I can remember this cos the name of this fruit is very special and true. It is really bo(not)- long long *cold wind blows*


The guide picked up 1 bolong long for us to try, supposedly ripe. The picture is misleading cos seriously, I really didn't like the taste, it's too sourish for me.



Cousins of rambutan. Can't remember the name so it shall remain as that.


We got to see durian tree cos its the durian season now.


One very interesting fruit is this long bunch of bananas. According to the guide, this fruit is not for eating, it's only for show. If we were to taste it, it's sourish. Seriously, why do they want to grow a fruit that we can't eat?


This fruit is also very interesting. It looks like a buddha's hand.

After that, we went to visit the Ostrich Farm which is like any kind of animal farm, STINKY.
Ostrich's neck are very hyperactive and long so I didn't dare go near it in case he stretches over and poke me. Actualy ostrich does not have teeth so you don't have to be afraid they will bite, still it's pretty scary cos you don't know their beak strength.



We all know ostrich eggs are really big but do you know how heavy is it? It's like the weight of one dumbell. So now I know why even if you step on it, it'll not break.

Realised I did not take any photos of our lunch nor dinner, cos it is seriously not that impressive. Still, it was a nice outing with my family and I totally enjoyed it!

It's been so long...

YAY! My blog is revived! Having such a hard time accessing to my blog cos I forgot my username as well as password. Age is catching up, ha!

Hmm.since I'm in, might as well blog something. Came across an interesting test/quiz that I received in my company email. So, if you have lots of time and nothing better to do, might as well give a try: http://www.shoppinglifestyle.com/quiz/flirtingstyle/

I did the quiz and....

You're a girly flirt

When it comes to flirting, you don't like to be too aggressive in your pursuit. You just let men make the first move. And they always do! That's because they're attracted to your girl-next-door charm, and your friendliness means guys aren't too intimated by you to approach.

Your only weakness? Sometimes you tend to be a tad too shy or subtle in your seductions. Even if you really like someone, you'd rather keep those feelings to yourself than risk exposing your true emotions. But opening up doesn't have to mean an all-out confession: By mastering a few body language signals of attraction (such as lingering your gaze, touching his arm, etc.), you'll send the message that you're interested without appearing too obvious.

I think I will blog more often now since it is quite a good distraction from other things and I have more time for this now. My mood have been pretty mess up, I can be super happy one minute and the next, I'm feeling all depress. Weird! Anyway I realised that listening to music and blogging nonsensical stuff kind of get my mind off, so I'm going to do more of this.

My Birthday!!!

My advice to all who wanna read this post: make sure you have lots of time to spare cos it is a super long post. So many people to thank..

This year, my presents are really unique and erm....cutesy. Had quite a few shocks cos I did not expect some people to give me presents yet they did *blush*.

First up, my bunch of gal frens!!! Ee Fun, Huihui, Yingying and Yingting. Thanks gal for bringing me to Ms Clarity Cafe for dinner and brought me ice-cream and all. Had a great time opening presents too.

From Fang, it s foldable keyboard and a namecard holder and both are in BLUE!!! Seriously, now what I really wanna know is 'When am I going to have my own namecard?'. I have like 3 namecard holders and yet I don't have any namecards to give out (stupid company policy of having 6 months probation).

Ok, anyway took this photo to show you how foldable this foldable keyboard is

You can even fold and keep it in you bag. That, is what i call portable keyboard.


T-shirt from Ting. Can't see the words from the photo but 'Big Brain Little Soul' are printed on the shirt. Really cute shirt.


From Huihui. A mixture of things...there are a pair of earring, handphone holder shaped like a cute toufu and a card. Find the toufu really cute, don't you think?


Ying gave me a handmade card and seashell photo frame, cos she knows that I love beaches a lot and since I can't go to the beach everyday, I can look at the photo frame and pretend to be at a beach.

My boy gave me something really interesting. He called it a TOP SECRET project which really contradicts cos on the day he picked me up from work, he was holding a really big plastic bag and the corner of the "project" is like threatening to pop out. It is kinda like inviting everyone to pay attention to it yet he wants to like hide it. Super lame. Anyway he gave me this

Guess what? It's not only a photo of me and him, it's a jigsaw puzzle

Sweet.

Second bunch of people I have to thank are my colleagues!!! This really came as a surprise for me cos I did not expect so many of my colleagues from my current company to know about my birthday, needless to say receiving presents from them, but I guess news really travel fast through Skype and word-of-mouth. I got so many cutesy things from them which I, as a 20 year old is ashamed to show everyone. Anyway I took some photos,
2 pair of earrings from my colleague, Cindy.

A brown top from Janet and Michael which really fits me (I can't seem to flash the photo but it is a really nice top).

I also received a lot of Hello Kitty, Minnie Mouse, Doremon stuff from my colleagues. Seriously, I think it is a sign. Still, I am really glad they bothered to celebrate my birthday with me so I really thank them for the love. Thanks Christina and Katherine.

Lastly, there are a bunch of my friends I would like to thank and they are my sisterhood gang, my sworn sister and my royal family gang from Golden Village. My sisterhood gang, Waishin, Zarifah, Josh, Poh and Ali, really thank you all for remembering my birthday and sending me birthday wishes. My sworn sister, Jennifer, thanks for remembering my birthday too. Can't find an appropriate time to meet with her, something that I am guilty of. My royal family gang, Siang, Agu, Xian, Jaslin, Kelvin and The KING, thank you for dropping messages and wishes for me (I, as the maid of the family feel really honoured especially even King also wish me well!) Not forgetting, Guijing, Shin Fen and Chee Hao for dropping me a message. Thank you all.

Although my family didn't give me a celebration, they did remember my birthday (except my father who still dare to ask me why I received so many presents all of a sudden -_-", but he feels guilty about it so I shall not blame him). My mum and sis will be buying me formal tops (something I really need now) tomorrow so I am going shopping...YOOHOO!

I feel so blessed to have everyone in my life. I LOVE YOU ALL! Thanks for making my every birthday a happy one.

Kelong Trip

WOOHOO...went to stay in a kelong in Bintan with my sister and her friends recently, and it was really a super leisure trip. All we need to prepare for the trip was to make a phone call and pack our bag, that's all. All we had to pay was $150 and everything like tax, accomodation, food and travel fee were looked into. Now I know what travel easy means, ha!

We took a ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to the ferry terminal at Bintan which took about 2 hours. Then from Bintan we had a chauffeur who drove us to our destination, I feel like a queen! Anyway the trip took about 30 minutes. So you can imagine, only 2.5 hours and I am in another country!

When we reached, we had our first meal there. And just take a look at the spread!

We had crabs, fish, soup, kang kong, a snail shell thingy that taste like sotong!!! For $150 you get fed with these kind of food everyday, where to find?

It was drizzling when we reached Kelong so you can imagine how disappointed I was to have my suntanning plan crushed. Thank goodness there were lots of indoor entertainment around like billiard, KTV and mahjong. So, we challenged one another to a round of billiard.


After the drizzle, we were looking for some excitement so we went island hopping! YEAH! While waiting for the host to get ready the speed boat, we had to entertain ourselves so we camera-whore

Shu Duan and Zhong Wei (pardon the spelling)


Eyna and Shu Duan


My sister and I


I seriously don't know why I am smiling till my eyes are unseen but I really enjoyed the feeling of riding a speed boat.

After dinner, we went to their KTV. Not as bad as I expected. At least they still have songs by Stefanie Sun, Sammi Cheng, Mariah Carey and 500 (Wu Bai). We also played mahjong

Really tai tai life man.

The next morning, the sun was finally out!!! So without brushing my teeth, getting rid of my eye shit, I did the most rational thing...defy the wind and sit on those dangerously put together wooden planks to soak in the morning sun.


My sister and I tried their banana boat ride.

Me walking towards the banana boat. I was in fear but still had time to arrange my hair.





Life is really simple at Kelong. We bath using rainwater which is collected using large tank at different water catchment area. We ate fishes and crabs that the host catches from the sea. We slept without air-con or fan but natural wind. It has been a really good experience and if possible, I will want to return to the place again.

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! It's been YEARS since I last blogged and to remind me of this fact, I actually forgot my username and password, like seriously.

Anyway, wanted to blog about something happy that happened yesterday. I got a real surprise from my boy last night. I was feeling really sick yesterday. First, it was a slight headache then i started to feel cold for no good reason, and all this I suspect was because of the lack of sleep for the past few nights. So, I called my boy and explained to him that I can't chat till very late cos blah blah blah

and guess what?

He bought me

Kodomo! For fever relief. I was not really feeling very feverish but still, it was kind of him to have thought of doing something to relief my sickness. Actually he doesn't know whether it is effective or not, it was just conveniently available so he bought it -_-"


Then, I found another big item in the bag. POLAR PUFFS AND CAKES. Reminds me of WS!

Anyway, he bought the cake for our 2nd Month Anniversary. I hate to act like a school gal, talking about how sweet my boyfriend is but seriously, I was touched. I really thought there will not be any celebration for our 2nd month anniversary because he was too busy to pick me up after work that day and I was too sick to meet him up that night. So when he called me to open the door and see what is outside an hour after we hung up, I was really dead shocked. I think FedEx will really appreciate this kind of employees, ha! Anyway it really came as a pleasant surprise for me.

Although my boy gets me upset sometimes, he can be really sweet, and I mean REALLY SWEET

Me and my boy.

With my lovely bunch of gal friends

It is really nice to have a camera that will capture every few moments because in the end, the photos will turn out to be funny.


10 seconds to go. Better get ready and put on my most adorable smile, to be on the safe side.


Ok, the 10 seconds is really long. I feel like laughing for smiling like an idiot for so long.


I can't control my laughter anymore.
