Goodbye 2014

2014 was the most events/ occasions/ things year happened in my life. My ROM was on 15th March 14, and I got married on 1st June. Before knowing I was pregnant, I had an enjoyable life hanging around with friends and family drinking different kind of beverages. Life was fun and enjoyable. Things has changed when I got pregnant after married. It was confirmed that I was 5 weeks pregnant on 29th June. It was a shocked and everyone was happy especially our family and my mum. We got so excited and my life has changed again. I got to be extra careful on my diet and my movement. I have to give up on my yoga practice for the baby. After our marriage, my mil's condition was getting worse and finally she passed away peacefully on 12th July. At least she knew she has a grandkid before she left (I assumed). Then it was followed by a big impact on my career. The company did not do well and boss decided to stop the business. At the same time I was really unhappy and unsatisfied with his decision for being so selfish. I was like falling to the bottom rock of life. I was so down and I have no choice but to accept. I tried not to blame him for his selfishness and I believe I could find a better job in future. At this time, I was pregnant and could not find a good job. I decided to stay home rest until after delivery since I could not find a job and decided to let go the company's car Prius C. Thanks to my dear hubby for being supportive. He has offered me his car and applied EPF withdrawal for paying house Instalment so that he has extra money to give me monthly. This showed how he really cares and loves me lots. Hopefully it was not just because of my pregnancy. I rested for 3 months at home. Initially it was quite boring as I had nothing much to do except some housework. I could not even go for yoga practice and drinking due to pregnancy. Somehow, after some time I got used to it and love my life. I enjoyed relaxing and resting at home as my body got superb tired due to low hemoglobin level. My life was still enjoyable even though I did not work. We still enjoyed what want. In end of October, we finally got to know the baby gender. It's Baby Boy! Everyone was happy especially my mum and hubby. And also I would like to thank to both of my sisters in law for being so kind and generous. They have spent few thousands ringgit for me and baby things. They have bought me bird nest at RM1k and also baby breastpump set with some other devices for RM1.8k not to mention some other baby clothes and needs. Glad to have them reducing our financial burden. And finally thing has changed again when my aunt (四姨）approached me and offered me a job. After some considerations, finally I accepted as everyone was saying 2015 would be a tough year and poor economy due to GST implementation. I thought I should I accept and secure a job first since I will be a mommy soon. We need more extra money for the baby and family. And at the same time, I felt my body getting better and not that tired anymore. Finally,I started my new job as Production Executive at PTM Steel Industries Sdn Bhd under K Seng Seng Corporation on 1st December. It took me about 2 hours for traveling everyday with RM12.20 toll expenses daily. Somehow, I am glad that I have a job now and I could give a better life to my retired parents and newborn baby and at the same time to reduce my hubby's burden. Conclusion of the year, my hubby and I ended our 2014 as TWO and now we are welcoming THREE in 2015. I love my family especially my mum and hubby for being supportive, helpful and understanding at all time. Let's pray for a better 2015 and I hope my Baby Jarold will be delivered smoothly and healthily. And hope my family and friends will be in good health. Love everyone! 

Resignation

6th June 2010, Sunday. Another 2 days I will leave Unique Green Recreation. I feel miserable. I do not know what to say. I like my company and I still have to leave. I really want to go into engineering field but I wonder is my new job is the job that I want? My direct superior is the General Manager. I have no managers. That means, if i can perform, it will be very good for my future but what if I can't perform? I will die even faster. From my JD and hierarchy, i can see others who are reporting to the GM are those senior managers who work for so many years. Suddenly I can feel the fear. I feel so stressful. Can I perform? I really pray hard. I really hope that I can do well....
On the other hand, i will be missing UGR lots. I have been working in UGR for one year one month and now it's time for me to leave. I guess, everyone will have to go through this stage. I hope that I can still keep in touch with all my colleagues. I will miss the people, the environment, the job, the food and every thing there not to mention the bad thing too.

BACK

2th April 2010, Friday. Well well.... I AM BACK.... I must start blogging again after few months break... Anyway, Happy Good Friday.... I will be back again....

流下眼泪，留下智慧

9th December 2009, Wednesday. 流下眼泪，留下智慧. Ai Lee wrote this on her caption in MSN Messenger. This sentence seems like very meaningful and quite true too. Somehow, this might not apply to everyone. Some people will become cleverer after being hurt and I do believe that some people are still being a fool after being hurt for many times. She quoted this from one of Lee Hom's song. Then she continued the sentence in this way, 流下眼泪，留下智慧,什么时候后我们来一场灵魂之窗大扫除！Suddenly this sentence becomes very funny especially her friend asked her whether she needs a maid for it! LOL... I tried my best to learn how to write each of the word..:-) Thanks Ai Lee for being my Japanese and Mandarin Master.... Arigatou Gozaimas and Oyasumi Nasai....!!! It's time to sleep already...ZZzzzzzz..

Ralph Lauren Romance

6th December 2009, Sunday. A gift set; Ralph Lauren Romance 75ml Perfume and Ralph Lauren Romance 100ml Body Lotion. The gift set was RM349. If you purchase separately, the perfume and lotion would be sold at RM290 and RM180 respectively. The gift set come with a free Ralph Lauren traveler bag. I actually like the bag more than the perfume..:-P

Dinner at Imperial Chakri Palace, KLCC

5th December 2009, Saturday. I went to KLCC at night with my friend. KLCC had already set up all the x-mas decors. It looked quite nice but not very impressive. KLCC was very crowded as PIKOM Fair was held at Convention Centre from 4-6th December 2009. Here are some of the x-mas decors.



We had our dinner at Imperial Chakri Palace. This restaurant served Thai's Cuisine. The food there was quite delicious too. I went there once; I think 3 years ago. The environment and service were good. That's why the price was not cheap as well.


The environment


Fried Fish with some assam sauce (dunno how to describe), RM68.00

Seafood Tempura; Crab, Shrimp, Oyster, Cutter Fish Tempura with thousand island sauce, RM 39.90

Tom Yam Seafood Soup RM18.00

'Tou miao' RM19.50

Overall the food was nice. I like the Tom Yam soup but it was too cold. Not hot at all. That's why it was not that nice. And also the honey dew juice was bad. Very diluted. This was what they so called 100% fresh juice. Sucksss!!!

Honey dew juice, RM10.90. It was a bad day for me to order fresh juice, at Shepherdoo and Imperial Chakri Palace...:-(

The total bill was about RM222. If you pay with Hong Leong credit card,you'll entitle 15% for all the food excluding drinks. Thus the total bill of dinner after discount was RM196.60. Quite expensive I would say....

Lunch at Shepherdoo, Centro Klang

5th December 2009, Saturday. Today I woke up late (12.30pm). It was my first time to wake up so late after so many months of working. I had my lunch with my friend, Timothy. It had been a long time I have never met him. We had our lunch at The Shepherdoo, Centro Klang. It was just opened for one month plus. The environment there was good. The food was nice too. I ordered Gourment Chicken Fajitas and a glass of orange juice. The Gourmet Chicken Fajitas, served traditionally on a sizzling hot skillet with mixed peppers and onions, tossed in their own Shepherdoo's blend of spices, served with sour cream, guacamole and homemade salsa. It was nice but I felt a bit stupid of ordering it because I just had this type of food (taste) in Dubai. I should have ordered something else....:-P Anyway, the food was delicious. The orange juice was really bad. It is not recommended at all....




Timothy had ordered Song of the Sea. A special seafood pasta with chef's homemade red sauce. I could taste the seafood and the pasta was a bit spicy. Thumb up!!! The drink was nice too I guess....:-)


In conclusion, the environment there was good and food was excellent. I would definitely visit to there again... Thanks to Timothy for the lunch and congratulations on the opening of his newly opened restaurant with his friends...:-)

The Road Not Taken

3rd December 2009, Thursday. I still remember very well a poem by Robert Frost, THE ROAD NOT TAKEN. The poem is very meaningful and I think it is very true....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


Our life is full of making decisions. Everyday, we have to make decision; small, big, serious or important decision. Every decision that you make will eventually change your life. Today, I have made another decision. I am sure after this decision, the path of my road will be changed again. I hope that I have made the correct decision although I know, there's always no right and wrong in our life...

My Dubai Biz Trip - Day 8

29th November 2009, Sunday. Finally it was the last day already. Ai Lee and I felt tired and started missing home after so many days in Dubai. We also spent a lot of money throughout the days in Dubai.....----> It's time to get home! Hahahaha... We checked out from the hotel at 12.00pm and took a taxi to Wafi Mall. It was the last place we visited before leaving Dubai. In my opinion, I think that there's nothing much special in Wafi Mall. It was older and smaller than Mall of Emirates and Dubai Mall. We were just walking and hanging around to let the time pass. The x-mas decors were already set up. Looked okay only and not impressive enough hehehe....

Look at Ai Lee.... Not the decor hahahahaha.. She's much prettier than the decor!



We ended up sitting and chatting at the Wafi Gourmet. This cafe was quite expensive. I did not order any drinks as I was still full. Mr Song ordered Arabic Coffee and Ai Lee ordered Mint Tea. I guess the drinks were quite good...:-) We ordered Arabic Sweet Dessert. It was very sweet... We could not really able to finish it. Since we were really too free that time, and we played the game so called 'Truth or Dare'. Truth = Say out the truth + eating the Arabic sweets. Same went for Dare hahahaha..... Ai Lee was a bit unlucky and she was asked numerous questions by Mr Song. Anyway, it was a good chat and I think everyone enjoyed it.


The end of my Dubai's Trip~~~

My Dubai Biz Trip - Day 7

28th November 2009, Saturday. The time flew very fast. I started to miss my home, Malaysia. I love Malaysia. Malaysia is still the best place after all... LOL... Well... we had nothing much to do on that day but to shop for some souvenirs. We took a taxi to the Clock Tower. Other exhibitors from Malaysia told us that we could get a cheaper price souvenir from the shop nearby Clock Tower.

Somehow, we could not find the place. Finally, I sms Siu Yong from Evershine (Bins manufacturer). Luckily she replied to me and told me that the shop was Gift Gallery and it was located nearby the Sun Shine Hotel. Thanks god. We found it finally. We managed to get some souvenirs such as t-shirts, ashtrays, keychains, shot glass etc.

After that, we took a taxi to the Water Taxi Terminal at Dubai Creek I guess. I could not really remember the place name, but I just remember that place has a lower living expenses. The streets and the shops nearby were very crowded with foreigners from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indians, Indonesians etc. It was very crowded. I felt a bit uneasy as there were just a few ladies there. They looked at us differently. The t-shirts sold were not cheap as well. We thought the price should be quite reasonable, hence Mr Song had bought 2 t-shirts at AED17 each if not mistaken.

A lot of people were queuing for water taxi. Somehow, it was quite fast as there were quite many water taxis at the terminal. Each trip only costs AED1 per person. This transportation was specially established to help the poor I guess.




It just took about 5 minutes to reach the other terminal (the opposite side) I guess. I did not look at the watch as we were busy taking pictures hahahaa....
The market/shop at the this side was better. The price was so much cheaper. Guess what?! The t-shirt was just sold at AED10!!! It was a bad deal for Mr Song as he had bought so much more expensive. Somehow, he still grabbed a few more t-shirts at AED10. I just bought one for myself but Mr Song and Ai Lee had bought 4-5 t-shirts each.

Then, we took a taxi back to hotel just to drop the things and went to the one of the biggest mall (I guess should be the biggest) in Dubai directly. It was really huge and crowded. A lot of people were visiting the mall. The food court was very big too. There were variety of food from various countries. I just love it. We did not have much time to walk around. It was really too big.






We thought of visiting the Sega Republic but it was too expensive to enter.

Food ordered by Ai Lee....



So, we just went to watch the Musical Fountains. It was really cool!!! The performance was amazing and I love it so much. How romantic it would be if you hold your wedding besides the fountain! Hahahahaha... This was what I kept telling Ai Lee during the performance.






We also managed to take some of the pictures at the side of fountains. Nice buildings and nice views..:-P
