2010 CNY Family Gathering

We - one big family of Jay's side and my side, spent our first few days of CNY at Muar - Bukit Tinggit and then Cameron Highlands. This will be a great memory trip in the future:)

At Bukit Tinggit:

At Cameron Highlands:

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!:)

Melaka Trip with mom & sis

I am really not a Malaysia tourist fans (the weather is too hot to enjoy any scenic visit), but since my mom likes melaka so much, so we went there over the weekend. But this trip is very relaxing and with great food. All the famous food that requires lining up are tasted by us with no lining requirement! Hohoho... wise choice to go there during non-long-weekend eh?!!

2010 - Heliu~~~~~

Heliu~~~~~ Happy New Year!

Have been missing in action for a while. Been to the states to find my brother with mom and sister. It was a long journey (plane)... I am very against taking plane more than 5 hours after this trip. The long hour flight makes u doubt that time has stopped and we were being trapped in a small cabin, forever! Cannot tell you how happy to land feet on ground when finally reached Pudong Airport!

The trip in The States is fantastic: Washington DC, New York, Florida, and of course, the state my brother is staying in now to complete his phD - Virginia's Blacksburg! (Now only know i know many town in the states ends with "..burg", it means town, the burg thingy is from german people last time). Few things I walked away with in this trip:

- New York is so vibrant. I will go back for sure!

- Ellis Island in New York is as important as the statue of Liberty!

- American really relies on GPS a lot!

- American prefers drive to destination instead of taking plane because in December, plane tends to delay or being cancelled because of bad weather (well, we kena that snowstorm in Washington DC, all museum closed, road closed, and we have to stay in hotel for one more day)

- On day 3, I started to miss Shanghai because of the food. American food is killing me~~~

Levis Jeans and Lesportsac bags in the outlet in U.S. are so so so cheap!!! The happiest day of this trip, besides seeing mickey mouse in Florida, and buying M&M at NYC's time square, is shopping at outlet in Florida!! Women eh? hehehe...

I am officially a housewife now, I started to enjoy this changes from day 1. My main task now is just to make Jay very happy at dinner time, and make myself very happy during day time (do whatever i want), no need to gek hei because of those stupid corporate politics, no need to endure the fake laughters from the bitch karen ong, and no need to feel unhappy at work. Hooray!!!!

Close to 4.30pm now... in another 1 hour time, I will start to prepare dinner:) I hope my enjoyment of this will carry on forever (knowing myself will get sick of things after 1 week or 2 weeks or so...).

So, everybody is preparing for Chinese New Year now?

Last day in M

Today is my last day in M.

You know in 孙悟空 story, there's always a monster but disguise in normal/pretty face? Well, the "raksasa" in my company is like that. I showed her picture to my friends, only my best fren Aigie said "she is ugly" because she is supporting me, other people said she looks fine and doens't look like someone that will do ugly things to others. 人不可貌相 is the only answer I can give to my friends.

This stupid woman, is really a raksasa, disguise under the lamb fake outer shell. This blardy woman. Today I sent out farewell email, she is the 1st one to open and read it even though she is having a meeting with a 4A company, can you believe how tension she is? She must be afraid that I will say bad things about her, 唱衰她！ Hey I ain't raksasa. I only said bad things to good friends like Aigie, Winston, Nicole, Esther. And among them, only Aigie knows everything. To other friends, I only tell them "raksasa in my office make my life in hell" and hide the details (partly because I also feel sian talk about her sui staff). And to other colleagues in office, I have never said a bad thing about her. But I guess I should!!!!!! Sibeh raksasa!!!!!!!!!!!!

My hubby hate her so much, he said he wanted to punch her at her face.

Having said all that... I am relief!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! No need torture myself come to work everyday (come to work is not tortured, come to work under her is torturing). No need to drag my soul to do things I dont like to do (I get asked to do no meaning things, because she boh song me). No need to laugh at her fake sibeh jokes!!!!!!!! And no need to hurt my eyes (she always wear low cleve shirts even in winter, to show her breast cleavarage! WHORE!).

I hate her. But I love my new life. Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Sibeh Karen Ong, you can continue do your fake things and enjoy all the fake excitement in your life with fake laughters and be a fake step-mom to your stupid lover's kids (he must be blind to fall in love with u, a divorcee with so many fake history)! Enjoy your life!!! And hey, what goes around, COMES around! I will just wait when is your ugly black heart get exposed to all people!!!

My new toy

I have a new toy!

the last new toy (handphone lah, apa else), the passion lasted for 1 month... let's see how this one is doing.

This gadget can play MP4 (can watch all the different format of movies, with just drag and drop function), MP3, JPG, recording function, radio function, e book function, and also can connect to TV, bla bla bla.

I was surfing taobao one night, and then chat with this seller til 12.30am, finally I have decided to buy. Yay~~~

It's a local brand, proudly announce it is made in China! Quality damn good (so far lah hah, touch wood first), and it's very cheap! Comes with all the accessories (all different wires and cords, some I also dunno used for what), pouch, hanger, screen protector, remote control (i also dunno why need remote control, perhaps is TV related), and bla bla bla, is just below 430 (including delivery wor). Cheap or not?

I was quite "apple" and "kindle" person last time... but hey, I surrender to cheap price and good quality. Sorry lah Steve Jobs:) Next time... next time...

《殺人犯》 (Murderer)

Jay bought this DVD home. At first seeing the title and the design of the front page, I screamed at Jay "You bought ghost movie???? I ain't watching!!!! Why you like that one?!!!"

(I am very afraid of ghost movie)

Jay sweared it was not a ghost movie. He said it's just normal movie. So at the end, I watch with him.

It was a fantastic movie!!!!!! This is one of the best movie I have watched in this year. Ichiban!!! Aaron Kwok's skill has improved so much again after the movie "父与子". He is great! And the director of this movie is so young, and yet the plot he had is so good!

The only thing i cannot understand is, which parents will allow their kid to go shoot for such a movie? I will never let my son to go shoot for this kind of movie. This is so unhealthy for their mental development... eee....

Anyway, I don't want to say much here. Those of u who haven't seen this movie, should try to watch it :)

Bitch!!

I really beh tahan this bitch!!!!!!!

If she die in front of me right now, I will clap my hand until my hand rosak!

I am so pissed off, I secretly took her picture during one of the bloody team lunch where she as usual, so fakefully talking to my boss (my boss reprts to her! and thus, u can imagine my reporting line) "oh i am getting married in CNY.. hhohohohoo... yah... oh since this is my second marriage, i only do small small lah. just invite people to my house only.. hohohohoho... yah.. it's also his second marriage... hohohohohoho".

I really beh tahan on how she treated me, I printed out her photo in color, and use the pen to duk her face all over until it's a bit koyak now! This blardy woman!!!!!!!! I hope one day she will taste her own doing!!!!!!!!!!

BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is unfair

Life is pretty unfair hor?

Good people get tortured with difficulties, while bad people seems to enjoy life - bad people getting pregnant with no pregnancy difficulties, eat eat eat and so fat while good people pregnant with twins and just diagnose it is a monoamniotic twins with some risk of survival; bitch that sucks in people management and only good at office affair by tui-ing around is climbing coporate ladder; 忘恩负义 people 嫁女儿抱孙； good people with great contribution to society died early while beggars on the street have no purpose in life day after day appear on the street beg for money.

Don't know what to say when think of this. Life is very unfair.

Some questions about facebook friendlist

Knowing there are some colleagues in my facebook, has restricted my freedom of speech in facebook. I cannot talk about my work, my job, and I cannot release my tension here with that bitch in the office! Argh!!

Does anyone know if I delete the contact, what is the answer to following question?:
- would they know? is there a notification sent to them telling them I have deleted them from my contact list?
- would they still able to read my stuff? (updates, photos?) I have already chose the option "only my friends can view".

And also, I always curious, for those that sent you request to add as friend, if you choose "decline", would they know? Since I don't know they will know if I cancel them or not, I normally just leave it, do nothing. But the thing is, it is very irritating to see "you have 5 friends request" on the top left panel. Err....!!

I feel those colleagues adding me to their facebook friendlist is intruding my freedom of speech!! I want to get rid of them!!! Knowing their characteristics, if I bla bla bla something about my job, they will definitely go spread the news to 500,000 miles on earth within half an hour. Yes, they are so "8".

Can some kind soul answer the top 2 questions I posted here?

七分袖与羽绒服之差

昨天还穿着七分袖。
今天就穿上羽绒服，还不停的边走边在冷风中抖擞。

昨天最高气温还有21°C，今天预计只剩下11°C。我出门的时候只有7°多一点。冬天来了。

昨天晚上看一个电视节目，介绍新加坡美食，突然bui bui和我一起说，“很想念nasi lemak...”。呵呵。看到那个主持人吃得满头大汗，我们却在heater旁取暖。电视内容的那种“热”，真令人羡煞。

昨天还是难捱的周四，今天已经是周五了。Yahooo~~~~~~~~~~ 今晚开始又可以玩两天半的facebook. Haha... yah, I am addicted. It's bad.. But I really miss my restaurant, farm, chicken, and fishes in it. How ah? How ah?

Counting down

I am waiting.... patiently......................

guai low's mindset

During a conference meeting... below conversation takes place:

sei guai low boss "is everyone sick in this meeting room? Because everyone is blowing their noses, it really worries me..."

So, I thought he is a very good and considerate boss, he cares about his staff health, and worried they are sick... but the following conversation startled me..

sei guai low boss "Because if it is, I am going to wear the mask. Sorry guys."

........

I am addicted

I am addicted to facebook's happy restaurant.

Can you believe I dreamt about how I place my tables in the restaurant, so my waiters can serve with most efficient way and speed?

When I woke up this morning realizing what have I done, I said, "SHIT!!". This is bad... I am addicted!

点算??? luckily china banned facebook and I only get to play it once a week.

Good books?

I ordered two books from amazon china, they arrived within 2 days. No delivery fees charged. I am happy.

Very old poh poh style hor to feel happy on this small little thing?

By the way, I can't find any good books (have to be my taste also lah of course) that is written by chinese writer lately, and this, I feel disappointed. Where are the good books?

My good fren Siew Wai bought many 几米 books from amazon too... I used to like 几米 a lot, but.. later on I feel very ng dai to finish his books (some more so expensive one) within one hour. So, i stop following his book.

Then I like this japanese comics 高木直子, her famous "150cm Life" is so funny... I bought all her collection, and she never draw any new stuff lately. I am quite disappointed also. Also, I lent one of the book to my manager, she never returns also :( sob. Now my collection is "not perfect" liao. Sigh. Should I re-buy that one?

Mitch Albom also another one. No new books newly written lately. Why??

I think next trip when i go back KL, i want to buy "P.S. I Love You". I watched the dvd, it's so touching... i want to buy the books to read it. I believe this is a true story?? Anyway, cannot let bui bui knows, he hate I read or watch this kind of "grey" color movie one.

I also wasted my time reading a novel, i think the name is simi 摩天轮... that book is wasting my time. It is so sad to realized this after I spent 1 week to finish the last chapter and the story just ended like that. Chiu..... I think when she wrote that last chapter, she gup si, that's why she 草草了事. I am so disappointed.

My mom asked me to buy “我与父辈"... this one I also think not so good. His writing is really so-so only. The only good thing to get from this book is to understand how those 农民 live back in those pre and post-文化大革命 period. And I have read 1/3 already, he still hasn't written anything very touching about his dad, or his uncles; actually, he seldom talks about his dad, at least in that 1/3 pages that I read. So, I am going to give up on the 2/3 portion. Again, wasted my time lah.

Anyone has any good books to recommend lately?

被废武功

以前看小说，里面说的什么被废武功。以前还以为只有虚拟的武侠小说才有这么一回事。原来现实生活中也可以发生的。

My bui bui

That night, I cannot sleep.

Whenever I cannot sleep, I like to torture bui bui. So, this time I have some challenging questions to him.

Me, "are u asleep?" (Actually, I heard him snored already... i purposely want to wake him up)

Bui, "er.. nope.. what's up honey?"

Me, "I ask u har... if given a woman, look like me, smell like me, cook your favorite dishes like me, but just a better version of me - better shen choi with big big bor, and know how to give u great foot massage, would u choose to love her instead of me?"

Bui, "... no babe... of course not"

Me, "Why? Why you want to lie to me???? who doesn't want a better version??? U lied to me, U no good!!" I feeling pretty angry and upset, and I kicked off the blanket.

Bui, "... I didn't lie babe..."

Me, "then how could u not fall for the better version of me?"

Bui, "because if I say yes, you will hit me or kick me. I don't want that to happen again."

Me, "......" don't know want to angry or laugh, seems like bui bui learnt the lesson already.

Aih... have to think for new way to torture bui bui next time if I cannot sleep... sob.

Hong Leong Bank, sucks too

Recent phone call to their call center concludes at least to me that Hong Leong Bank sucks too, in terms of customer service. If I rated HSBC 3 stars out of 5, then HLB is worth 1.5 star.

BLEAH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Count with my 10 fingers, I find that I have encountered different level of unpleasant experience with almost all the banks in Malaysia, except (surprisingly) CIMB and Southern Bank (does it still exist or merged with other bank liao??).

And yet in China, I have relationship with China Bank, China Merchant Bank and ICBC Bank, so far I do not have "unpleasant level" of complaint about them. I am not pro China, but hey, these 3 banks have good customer service level.

And yet, I have this love hate relationship with Hong Leong Bank. Some special 情怀... but it is really testing my patient..

Long awaited Bali trip

We are back, from Bali. Yay~~~~ Thanks to China National week (they merdeka) + mooncake festival holiday, we had a long break.

The flight was long, it was like 6 hours+, sit until wants to go crazy liao. But luckily, this time my ear is ok. I wear the ear pressure regulator thing on the whole flight, 6 hours, so you can imagine when i get off the plane, is a bit coo coo already.

After reach Denpasar airport, because we booked the hotel is in Ubud, there's another 1 hour car ride. It was raining... so when we reached the hotel and after check in, it was like 1am. The guy showed us around our villa, we were so excited even though at 1am. Check it out:

Our bed - it's like those 蚊帐床, is very back to nature, and antique.

Toilet -- this is just 2/3 of the whole bathroom! We played around in the hot tub (not that same night lah, damn tired), it was really fun.

The next morning, we checked out our villa outside, all green leaves plants, trees, and got a private pool! See the private pool? So close to nature, it was such a relaxing feeling just looking at the pool.

You don't see Jay like very brave like that, he doesn't know how to swim. He was pretending he was floating.. heheh.

Jay, relaxing at our villa. It was really a nice villa. We stayed at Royal Pita Maha, it has 53 villas together, each has a private pool. Because I handled the whole trip booking, Jay looked at me and asked how much a night is this? I told him the figure, he immediately jumped out from the seat and gu-jit me... he didn't know it was at that price. keekekekee.... oh hey, you also like the villa mah:p

This is our villa door. Antique isn't it? We have no hotel key card, we have lock. Yes, big lock.

This is the hotel lobby.

This is the lobby entrance:

At such classy hotel, even drinking plain water is very relaxing and enjoying... Speaking of drinks, i had papaya juice everyday in Bali. It was so nice!!

The next morning, after we enjoyed the breakfast, and enjoyed the 1 hour complimentary massage in the hotel, we rented half a day car to go out jalan-jalan and had our lunch at Ibu Oka (babi guling), recommended by someone in the hotel. It was very "meaty" i don't quite like that. And I thought indonesian mostly are muslim, this is babi wor how? The driver explained that 98% of Balinese are Hindus, so this explained why.

After Ibu Oka, we went to Kuta Square, bought a aroma oil, so nice the smell... it's expensive but it is really nice. Then saw a DVD shop, went in, wholly c**, so cheap! it's USD$1, and we scared quality not nice, so just bought 1, the "PS I Love You". We watched already, the quality is suberbly clear, translation is very accurate, and for this kind of quality, you have to pay RMB10 in China. So, the cheapest place to get good quality DVD is not in China anymore, it's in Bali! How we regret just buying 1 pc.

After that we went to beach. So many handsome ass guy surfing.

Next day we went to this Kintamani active valcano. It's quite foggy when we are taking the photo that time.

Then went to visit the Tempaka Siring, the temple.

I love this photo that Jay took. The kids are so naive, "clean", and happily eating the snacks at the pool side. This is such a peaceful picture.

People lining up to get a bath in this holy water. It was supposed to clean away all the sickness in your body and bring you good luck.

We went to Ubud Market after that. So many stores there... so many cool dining restaurants also!

The 3rd day, we went water rafting. Jay was a bit uncertain about this at first because he doesn't know how to swim. But the guide kept telling us it is fun, and even if drop to the water, got jacket, it will float. So, Jay decided to give it a try, he turned to me and said, "if i drop into the water, save me!" hahhaa... We are so glad we did this activity even though we are home with sore muscles, it was so fun!!!!!!!! so fun if there are more time, i want to try again!

Some crafter crafted all these image on the river bank. Isn't it cool? It all started 5 years ago and they are still doing it. Heard the hotel paid some of the money to them. Oh the water rafting is just around our hotel area, so convenient and so fun to see our hotel from the river!

Our guide, his name is Coco. He is a happy lad, and he kept reminds me of Coco Lee. hehehe...

After water rafting, we have to climb some stairs to go back to the rafting center. And here I spotted a good view of padi field.Before the long flight back to shanghai, and after the rough water rafting, we decided to pampered ourselves at some spa, I took a 3 hour package, and jay took his 2.5 hour package. It was so pampered I felt guilty to have such treatment. OK OK, no next time lah, gu gu jit bai! hohoho.... it was expensive the spa, there goes my dreamt PSP.. sob. [Jay made me belanja him spa, isn't him bad?!]

I like Bali. Would come back again if got chance. People here although mostly not rich, but they always have the contented smile on their face. I find that balinese are not greedy, they are friendly, and they worked hard to earn their money. Bali is so far the 2nd place I went to (besides cambodia) that I feel I am blessed to be a Malaysian.
