Beautiful Sunday!

2012-02-19T23:07:00.001+08:00

Moral of this story: Never plan ahead!

Actually planned to drive to Daro for sight-seeing & wasting Sunday successfully but suddenly the plan was changed over Roti Canai & Teh Tarik during breakfast. Yong couldn't digest our suggestion to drive to Sibu but hell yeah, we drove all the way to Sibu today which took us approx 2hours on a bumpy road. It was fun chit chatting & catching up with each other after a whole week ok absence. I was down the whole week, didn't do much talking & all. Glad that i'm back to normal :)

Had a great lunch tho i only ate the Shepherd's Pie *i liked it but i still prefer Chicken Cornish* & a slice of Choc Indulgence *nyummy!*

What a wonderful & happy Sunday :)

Oh Water Come On!

2011-11-23T22:33:00.000+08:00

Disappointed.

After about 1 month surviving only on my water tank, it's finally officially EMPTY. It has been more than 1 month now that we are having water problem here and it's not even getting better. I hope there's water soon as I'm running out of water! Or else I have to fetch water from ground floor (FYI I'm staying at the 5th floor!).

Nothing much can be done. I go back to Miri almost every weekend. With my clothes. At least I get to wash my clothes rather than keeping it in the basket till there's water. Nope. I won't do that. It's so not me at all.

SO, for the mean time, I'll just enjoy this fast connection & spend my time at home You-Tube-ing.

Adios Amigos.

This is for Angel of Et Cetera

2011-10-17T14:18:00.001+08:00

I am not going to complain about work here. Some people are feeling helpless now without any job. Therefore I should be thankful for what I have.

I am not going to compare the life I'm living with other people. Some people might not be as fortunate as me, to be staying in a home provided for me and it's even very close to where I am working (actually, in the same compound since I'm staying in).Therefore I should be thankful for my home.

HOWEVER, looking at pictures posted by Angel and all the fun she had (fun through the picture, and I know you also have fun there with your friends without me :( hahaha..kidding lang! ), I'm going to say a few things here.

1. I am jealous because you are posted to a beautiful place. People have been longing to visit that place, but yet, it's just in your backyard (so to speak)

2. I am jealous that you are able to see the beautiful crystal clear water. You might even get the chance to see some starfish or perhaps seahorse? I only see a lot of birds and spend my weekend cleaning my balcony which is always dirtied by the bird's sh*ts.

3. I am jealous that you beaches is better than what I have here. Mine here is just plain boring ordinary beaches.

The more I think about it, the more I'm jealous of you my dear pare'!!! Hahaha!!!

So, this post is specially for you. Thanks for making me jealous. You won. Hands down.

:D I miss u pare'!!!

Lots of love,
Kath :)

p/s: I don't have any interesting photos for this post. I think I should post a picture of how dying bored I am here. Bye bye.

Holiday!

2011-08-27T14:25:00.000+08:00

Yes!! Finally it's time to let down my hair & party~~~

Not really.

Yah, I just remembered I still have work to do. But at least I have time to enjoy at the same time! Isn't that great? :)

Drove all the way from Mukah yesterday & arrived Miri by 9pm along with my friends. 3 of us in my car and a couple in another car. And I'm happy enough with my car's performance bcoz we were able to arrive Miri safely! It took us about 6 hours to reach Miri since there were a lot of cars along the road. We had a great experience breaking fast by the roadside since we were on the way along Similajau-Miri coastal road at that time. It was fun though! And straight away head to Muara for Lalapan when we arrived Miri. Delicious dinner since it's sponsored too! ;)

I have a few plans so far & I'll see how I can use this holiday wisely :)

Selamat Hari Raya to those celebrating & enjoy your holiday! Stay safe!

Left unsaid.

2011-07-06T09:12:00.000+08:00

Starting over is not an easy thing for me. I have to learn to adapt to the new environment, the new faces around me and to choose to be friends to only certain people. I need to know who to trust and who not to trust. I need to know whose story is valid and whose is not.

Yes, I think too much. That's me.

However, after a month living in this new place with new friends around, I start to gather friends and I even put them into categories. I have friends for food - we'd go out for lunch, dinner together sometimes or any activities that is related to food. And I have friends for entertainment - the ones who I hang out with for fun, playing guitar, singing, and go out for shooting and shopping for fun. I also have friends for cars - those who I will talk about cars with, and this includes those who carpool me every morning. I also have friends who I can trust - to share gossips and certain stories. In short, I have friends!

Now, the problem is that they are not all friends to each other. They back-stabbed one another. When going out in a group, and when A is there, B will not want to join, vice versa. They will ask the neutral party if A or B is joining. If yes, then one will back off. Hahaha!!! That's one problem. Another problem is with friends who gets jealous when I'm out with the other group of friends. And when they ask me out but I rejected, they will start saying unnecessary things about me. Saying things like, 'Oh, when it's them who asked you out, you can go fast, but when it's me, you start giving lotsa excuses'... 'Ohh.. happy jamming..' - when I was already in bed and about to go to sleep. OMG.

Grow up, boy.. Be a man! Stop giving me that 'angry' face. You're not angry bird! Now I dunno how to pujuk everyone.. Argh.. Nonsense!

Have a good day!

Needs vs Wants

2011-06-28T11:44:00.000+08:00

It always happens to me everytime I'm out of money and at times when I have money. I just can't differentiate between what I really need and what I really want. But I know that what I need is more important that what I want. Though sometimes I want more than what I need.

Ya, you're right. I just received my first salary a few days ago. And now I feel poor. It's not that I've spent all my money but I'm trying my best to save as much money as I can. Not that I'm getting married anytime soon but I need security. I need to know that I have savings and in case of emergency, I have money to cover up things. I just need security. That's all.

No doubt that I have a lot of wants. I want to buy a new handphone - all of a sudden, a camera, new clothes - which I should invest in, considering my job, and I tend to spend a lot on food too, which I don't really mind though. But I also want to be a good daughter, I want to give money to my parents. I want them to live a happy life, and not worrying too much about money. But I know that if I keep on giving to everyone, I won't have enough for myself, and I don't want to be short on cash.

Wow, I really need to arrange my financial wisely. I need to list down what I need and what I want and what's more important than those which are less important. I'll shop till I drop, only if I have enough money to shop but I promise myself - no credit card! Let's see if I can hold to my own words.

Hope you have a wonderful day ahead & manage your spendings wisely! :)

Tamu Mukah, Sarawak

2011-06-09T11:49:00.002+08:00

Another post about a 'tamu' or Sunday market :)

Like I've said before, I like going to the tamu to check out what's for sale there. It's like going to the shopping mall for window shopping for me, since there's no shopping mall here at where I am currently situated.

I went there for the first time with some of my colleagues and went again for the second time, alone, just to look for some apples. And the third time, to bring my parents around while they were here to visit me.

There's a lot of pictures here so I hope you can view all of them. Just wanna share with you what's it like to be in a 'tamu' in Sarawak, and this is Tamu Mukah, Sarawak.

This 'tamu' is special in it's own way. It's situated just right beside the river bank. You can look for fresh fish here too - I was unable to take pictures of the wet market. Maybe next time around.

Let me take you to the vege and dry market at Tamu Mukah.

The river bank

The river just next to the tamu

That brown shoot has something in it that could be eaten. I've never seen nor taste that before.

Dried tomatoes? Is it?

Pisang panjang!

Not sure what's the green fruit was called.

Hmm.. Wonder what's this again :P

Pusuk all the way from Langkawi pun ada!

Seeds - Dad bought some

So, that's it. Up next, I'll upload photos from the dry market where they sell all the keropok ikan and other dried stuffs.

Have a nice day ahead!

XOXO!

Maybank Alert

2011-06-08T08:45:00.003+08:00

Morning fellow bloggers!

As usual, upon arriving at my desk in the office everyday, I'll turn on my laptop and check e-mails. And nowadays I used to check my Maybank account too to check whether my claim has been deposited into my account.

What happened this morning is something new to me. I got an email from Maybank's Manager and I was already thinking that this must be a spam. And I guess, if I click on that link, my money might be transferred to another account, though there's not much money in my account at the moment.

I was curious so I opened Maybank2u to check whether my account has already been deactivated or still there. When I checked, everything is still there, as usual. And the alert given once I logged in into Maybank2u tells it all.

That Maybank does not communicate to customers through e-mails.

I'm not sure if you've been in this situation but I guess it's good to remind one another. Imagine someone who thinks that the e-mail is true and clicked on the link. Kesian la that person kan... Nowadays, we should know when to be smart and when to be dumb. But most of all, try to be smart in a good way and not be smart by creating such spam.

Have a nice day!

Loving it!

2011-06-03T08:30:00.000+08:00

Not McD. Though I love McD too! ;)

I'm actually talking about my current job, lifestyle, colleagues, place n all that is new to me here. Yes, I've started working and I'm loving this. (More positive vibes so that I'll stay on track as long as I'm here) Hehe..

I had great time with my colleagues n I actually look forward to work everyday now since they are the ones who entertain me much. They also helped me a lot though I'm new here.

Glad that I've settled down here, moved into the house provided n parents are here too to be with me for a few days since it's school holiday. For those of u who wish to visit me, just inform me n I'll arrange plans. ;)

Loving it Loving it Loving it!

Fuhhh... Staying positive is sometimes difficult. But I need it so I'll stay positive!!! Yosh!!!

Greetings!

to you and your family!

Convocation & Report Duty

2011-05-22T00:52:00.000+08:00

I'll be leaving to another town soon, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to update my blog from there.

So, finally, it's all over. The convocation and report duty. Yes, I had to report duty a day after convocation. Just lucky enough that it didn't fall on my convocation day or else I'll surely missed the day to report duty at Putrajaya.

Well, I wasn't really excited about my convocation at first as I was a little bit tense arranging my parents who were here for a week. I didn't want them to be bored staying at home and wanted some fun but when everyone wants different things, and want different food for each meal, that's just when everything went upside down. Thank God we give and take. Even with only 4 girls (lucky again that my brother was not here or else... hmm... don't wanna think about it!) there are so much things to take care of. Everyone's living at different parts of Selangor and I'm in KL. And travelling from one place to another took ages! With the traffic jam and all. But I'm thankful enough that everything went well :)

So, on graduation day, I went with my parents and 2 sisters as another sister was unable to escape her class. But only my parents were allowed to enter the hall and my 2 sisters went home to continue their beauty sleep. I was so excited to meet my old friends and I guess that's the only time I felt much happier as I was able to de-stress myself - talking and laughing with my friends. I really miss them much, those people whom I spent my 4/5 years with. Unfortunately, I was unable to meet every one of them as we were all busy with family and own friends. I was lucky enough to not need to rush for studio picture as my family and I went to the studio a day before graduation day to escape the crowd. Oh! My friends and I were sitting at the very first row (front seat okay!) and were facing the stage. So, we had no problem looking at the stage and being zoomed by the camera! LOL! My friends were just too shy to smile at the camera. Me? First, I smiled and waved, and second, I showed the thumbs up sign! Hahaha! My parents and some of my friends noticed me. Well.. :P

And this convocation, my friend, Amanda, from Sabah, and I, decided to wear our traditional costume for the convocation. I wore my 'ta'ah' which is from the Orang Ulu tribe and Amanda wore the Kadazan costume. We caught some attention from people around us but that's not the point here. We want others to start wearing their traditional costume too during convocation - why not, right? Be proud of your roots and show them to others. I can see a lot of eyes staring at me when I opened my robe. Well, my costume were all shiny here and there. But, since it was sleeveless, I put on a cardigan to cover my hand. I hope others will follow our step too after this.

Here's some pictures I wanna share:

Me, Angel & Canne - Friends for 5 years!

Thank you very much for your time. I know you're tired.
Kesian... See the face.. Huhu..

Red roses from my love

Flowers in the car

Pink roses from my family!

Yup, a lot of roses! And for a few days, I woke up with the smell of roses in my room! Love it!!

Gifts all the way from Penang! Thanks Emmy :)

So, the day after convocation, early morning, together with my parents, we went to Putrajaya. I was asked to report duty there before heading to the institution where I'll be working. 5 of my classmates were also there.

Do I actually look like a pregnant woman? Erk.
With Kak Hani and Kiki

That's the only picture captured by me. After that, I brought my parents for lunch at The Chicken Rice Shop, Alamanda and before we head home, my dad insisted me to bring him to the lake. I seriously don't know the places in Putrajaya so I just drove freely. And saw a lake. And stopped there. Zzzzz...

Mom checking up the equipments

Yeah. That's dad pointing at the building. What building is that btw?

Mom & Dad at Putrajaya

Me. Haha.

And so, before heading to the highway, I saw the sign to the hospital. I already alerted Kenny from Mom And Her Diary that I'll be around Putrajaya and wanted to meet her. So, I texted her and told her that I was heading to the hospital just to shake her hand. Haha! So did I! Here's 2 pictures captured by my mom! Btw, it's our first time meeting each other.

Take 1! In front of the hospital lobby

Take 2! Too bright.. Hmm..

Nice to finally meet you, Ken! I had to explain to my parents how I get to know you and some story about your kids too. Sorry, Ken. They were just surprised how I know you and how you get to your position right now - being a mom and working at the hospital. You know la parents kan, when I say it's "my friend", they will think that we were at the same age. Lol! Btw, it's nice to finally get to meet you personally even though it was just for a few minutes!

Well, so I guess that's all for now. Entries after this will be based on the journey as a working adult, no more as a student or a part-timer or a successful Farmville and Cafe World gamer! I'll update soon on the place where I'll be stationed to and I surely welcome you to visit me anytime, ok! ;)

I'll be flying back to Miri with my parents early Sunday morning and will head straight to another town. Pray for our safe journey :)

Take care and be good!

xoxo

Road Accident

2011-05-12T00:15:00.001+08:00

This post might contain anger & dissatisfaction by the writer. However, the writer didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings or to accuse anyone on anything.

Recently, a friend was involved in a car accident. While driving along the highway, a car suddenly knocked into his car from behind. The impact was very hard that his car was pushed to the front and knocked the car which was in front of him. Luckily, no one was injured during the accident. In the 1st car (the front one), there was only the driver to the van. The middle car (2nd), was my friend with 2 young girls, and the last car (3rd) who caused the accident - an old man and his 2 young grandsons were in the car. The cause of the accident is still not clear. It was a straight road and the traffic was slow at that moment. Still wonder how the accident could occur. However, the old man who caused the accident was guilty. He and the 2nd car went to the police station together to make a police report, while the driver to the van disappeared and went to make his own police report. This was already a mistake because supposedly, all drivers should go to the same police station together to do a police report. And before that, always remember to take pictures as proof and note down the car plate numbers and the driver's full name and phone number. Always remember that no matter how panic you are!

The problem now is that the police sergeant who is taking care of the case is asking for RM250 from the 2nd car - as mentioned by the runner who took care of the accident. A lesson to learn here is not to completely trust a runner during any accidents. For those who have never been involved in any accidents, runners are the ones who will be at the accident scene instantly after an accident occur. Why? They want business. They will recommend to help you and bring you to their workshop. If they are good enough, they will offer to take your car to their workshop, or else, they will somehow arrange things for you. However, be cautious enough to know that there is no one in this world whom you can completely trust EXCEPT your mom. If it is possible, quickly contact your insurance agent and discuss with them on what you should do.

Obviously, the guilty one was the last driver (3rd car) and he deserved the traffic summon which is RM300. And based on my understanding, that's the only amount that a person should pay. No other cash should be paid to anyone. All claims must be made to the insurance of the one who caused the accident - in this case, the 3rd car. So, why does the runner said that the police sergeant asked for RM250? And the runner said that the 1st car is trying to make a police report that the 2nd car knocked his van and the 1st car wanted to claim the insurance from the 2nd car. SO, the police sergeant asked for RM250 so that he will not say that the 2nd car knocked the 1st car. Did you get me? If yes, can you help me clarify here what's the need for RM250? I know, to make the long story short, just pass the RM250 and everything will be settled but now, the driver is already depressed by this and still the policeman wants to ask for RM250. What for?

I don't have much understanding on this matter as I've never been in such situation. So, I hope that if you read this entry, and you have been in this situation, please help me clarify some things here. I really appreciate your help.

Things to clarify:
1. Whose insurance to claim?
2. Should the police sergeant be paid RM250? And for what?
3. Who can I contact directly to ask any questions regarding this incident?

Or if you have anything to tell me, please do drop me a message by commenting on this post. I want to help my friend here but I just don't know how.

Thanks for your time.. God bless!

Tamu Donggonggon, Penampang

2011-05-11T02:00:00.000+08:00

I hope I get the spelling right this time. Donggongon ka Donggonggon? Erk.. I always get myself confused. Not only the spelling, but also the pronunciation! Please excuse me on that. I guess I need 1 day training on how to spell-it-right & how to say-it-right! Anyone willing to teach me? :P

Well, for those who are not familiar with the term 'tamu', it's actually an open-air market which is opened weekly. This term is widely used by the Sabahans & also the Sarawakians. However, the difference is that you can get more things from Sabah's tamu compared to Sarawak's tamu. People living in the nearby kampungs (villages) will go to the tamu to sell whatever they have such as vegetables, fruits, local/ traditional delicacies, traditional attire, a variety of cakes, meat, pork, animals - dead or alive, plants - you name it! You'll get everything there! The prices are also reasonable & always try to bargain whenever you want to buy something

Let's look at what I've captured through my phone's camera.

Sako? Or bamboo shoots, right?

Tuhau & Bosou - 2 best friends!

'Petai' or stink bean

Kura-kura pun ada! *Tortoise*

Sako (right?)

Can you see what's in the bag? It's a frog. A big one.

Hand made 'Parang' *heavy knife*

An old lady selling her crops

2 puppies for sale

The 'tamu'

A lot of people selling a lot of things

Big pumpkin

A young boy selling watermelons & look what's behind him...
Pity this young boy!

Kids were excited to see the puppies

They played with the puppies. So cute!

He's supposed to be in school or at home, maybe playing with his friends, or spending time watching TV, like any normal kids would do. But he was there to sell watermelons. Maybe it's his way to find a living, for him & his family.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures. I just love the tamu so much because there's much to see or observe over there. It is also a place to meet some long lost relatives or friends, right? Besides buying fresh vege etc.

Have a nice day! Adios!

Frinjan 20

2011-05-08T01:19:00.000+08:00

How's your weekend so far?

For the past few days, I was quite busy working. This time, working purposely for $$$. Hah.. $$$ issue now. Then yesterday, I was busy helping my youngest sister, together with my second youngest sister to move her things to her new house. Finally, she was able to get a room for herself! Fuh!

And today, we spent some time to visit Frinjan 20 at Dataran Kompleks Belia Seksyen 7 Shah Alam. It's my first time attending Pekan Frinjan. Thanks to a media friend who introduced it to me! There were a few stalls selling clothes, shoes, books (radical ones), food stalls, and there were also bands performing. We only went for the session before Maghrib. We missed the fun at night.

My friend Evelyne & I

So, for those who have never been to these kind of events, I suggest you to go & enjoy the fun over there! They were also selling clothes from as low as RM5 per piece with good quality! Some were second hand while some were new. Again, wished I had more $$$ just now. Sigh.

And for mothers out there, and to my mom, Happy Mother's Day 2moro ya! :)

xoxo!!

Sarawakians Want More Public Awareness on NCR Issue

2011-05-01T19:04:00.001+08:00

by Haider Yutim

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 APRIL, 2011: Sarawakans who attended tonight’s Teh Tarik Session featuring Sarawak PKR chief Baru Bian wants the issue of Native Customary Rights (NCR) issue to be disclosed more to the public, especially to Peninsular Malaysians.

KOMAS volunteer Kath Livan, 25, finds a Teh Tarik Session as an effective medium to relate essential issues in Sarawak to West Malaysians.

According to Kath, it is very important for the people especially Peninsular Malaysians to know what is really happening in Sarawak as this information are not available in mainstream media.

“So if you come here (Teh Tarik Session) and listen to this kind of discussion you will have an idea of what is really happening in Sarawak,” said Kath.

Lucky you?

2011-04-29T09:50:00.000+08:00

Lucky me! ;p

Trying to get some positive vibes early in the morning. I'm actually all prepared to go out for an event that I have to attend but the kemalasan meningkat ke tahap paling tinggi so sudden! Period pain and lack of sleep. Nice! What a combo! And today itself I have 3 things to do, or to attend at 3 different places. I'll just go. I know I'll be late for this morning's event but I can't fight this pain. Oh hell!

Talking about luck. I think I'm lucky in many ways. One of it is that I've finally got posted! Yeehooo!!! The official letter arrived yesterday to bf's office. We were asked to lapor diri and luckily the date is a day after convocation. So, I'm planning to bring my parents along to Putrajaya. Wah! Best! Macam masuk Darjah 1! I was excited when I get to know that there's a letter for me yesterday. Least I expect that I will get my posting as early as this month (May) since I was targeting for July. I planned a few trips back to KK and Miri and Kuching but luckily only bought 1 ticket a day before yesterday. Now I think I can't make it to KK if they require us to go to our posted places right after lapor diri. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. But itsokay lang! I'll see how things goes then plan again. Yeehooo!!!

Ok, so, I was posted to .....jeng! jeng! jeng! hahaha... Don't wanna tell yet la.. Will tell soon! Your guess? PERHATIAN Angel Et Cetera DILARANG untuk menjawab! Hahhaa... ;p

Have a nice day y'all! I need to rush to the LRT stations NOW!!

From KK with love

The Triduum at KK,Sabah

2011-04-25T13:26:00.000+08:00

Blessed Easter everyone!

This year's experience is a little bit different from normal. For the first time in life, I spent my Triduum in a Kadazan style. I arrived KK,Sabah on Wednesday, a day before the Holy Thursday. Went to Sacred Heart Cathedral for Holy Thursday and it was fully packed! Luckily we were in time for parking & seats upstairs and language used was English. For Good Friday, we went to Sacred Heart Inobong. Fr Alex was there & language used was Kadazan, which followed by Easter Vigil Mass at St Michael's Penampang also in Kadazan with Fr Alex & finally Easter Day mass in BM at St Michael's Penampang.

I always love learning new languages. And for me to catch up with Kadazan is not that difficult since I've already know some words through songs. But still, Dusun language is much more easier compared to Kadazan.

Hope you had a great time during Easter. It's always a good time to reflect on things & be happy on Easter Day for the Lord has risen from His death! Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia!

*Was actually in KK for bf's niece 1st birthday on Saturday, April 23rd. Will upload picts soon!*

Voted!

2011-04-18T23:35:00.002+08:00

Yup, I voted for the first time last Saturday for the 10th Sarawak State Election. Good experience to share with the others. Sad to know that there were many who didn't go home to vote due to financial problem and distance, of course. We are talking about Sarawak. And if you don't know how HUGE Sarawak is, it takes more than one day, sometimes to reach the interior parts.

I'm finally back in KL for a while after the election. I joined the team from Pusat Komas in collaboration with Meo-Net (Malaysian Election Observer Network) to observe for a free and fair election. It's not as easy as it seems, there were many irregularities reported, misconduct, and of course bribery. But the problem we had was in terms of evidence. We only hear people saying things but to get the evidence is really difficult. People in the rural areas, especially, were involved in vote buying. They were given money to vote for a particular party, some kampungs received funds for nails, spandex and paint, allocation were given for many projects and promises were made. Now, that it is over, it is time for the particular parties to play their role. I do hope that they will fulfill their promises especially to the kampung people who put their trust in them.

A Polling Center

Here are some links to what I did during the past election:
1. http://www.theborneopost.com/?p=116817
2. http://www.komassarawakupdates.blogspot.com/
3. http://undisarawak.crowdmap.com/

I'm glad I played a part in this election and of course I've learnt a lot out of it. The next step I'm going to take is to try to educate the people about how important their vote is and why they must vote. I know it sounds impossible, but I think its worth a try. The people in the urban areas have already rise and are aware of what happen to Sarawak, now it's time to educate the poor.

I hope you've played your part as well as a citizen.

p/s: Will fly to KK this Wednesday. Can't wait!

Viewing the sunset at Marudi

When I am at other people's house

2011-04-14T00:44:00.000+08:00

1. Wake up early. It's not good to wake up late when u are staying at people's place
2. Don't make too much noise - walk slowly if they have wooden floors at home, don't talk so loud at night - it's other people's house, don't laugh too loud, or talk too loud when u're excited about something
3. Respect the house owner - even though they might tell u to do as your own house, it is still their house. They just want u to feel comfortable, but not too comfortable
4. Do not complain - be thankful for things provided, don't complain if it's warm, if there's a lot of mosquitoes, the internet connection is slow, etc
5. Help to do house chores - simple things like washing the dishes will do. Simple things
6. Keep ur things neatly - put things in order if u were given a room for urself.
7. Wash ur own clothes - unless u were offered to wash ur clothes using the machine. If so, wash ur own panties

That's all for now.

I cannot tahan

2011-04-12T02:11:00.000+08:00

It's not that I want to complain but I just don't know where else to throw this out.

1. I cannot tahan if people turn on sad songs while I'm eating, or talk about something sad. I just can't eat if I'm in that kind of situation. I'd rather finish up my food first, then talk about it. I can't even think of it. It'll make me sick.

2. I cannot tahan if people talk talk talk talk too much. I can feel stress and feel like vomiting. I've been in this situation. What I did was just telling that person to stop talking. And that it makes me sick.

3. I cannot tahan if people don't know how to switch off the switch, water tap after using it. I don't mind helping them to do that but again, it makes me sick.

4. I cannot tahan living with people who doesn't know how to be organised. I mean, put things in order and keep the place clean, or at least tidy. I'll get sick of the messiness.

5. I cannot tahan waiting and waiting and waiting for the durian to fall on the roof. I cannot wait long. It'll make me sick of waiting.

6. I cannot tahan kena pressure by people. Especially when people thought that I know how to do certain things but actually I don't know and they don't even tell when I do something wrong. And when they finally tell, they'll get angry. It'll make me feel down. And sick.

7. I cannot tahan if people bang the door, or walk with their heavy foot, as if they are using kaki gajah, or make so much noise when they can actually do things quietly.

Ok, enough of 'I cannot tahans" for today.

Durian Buffet?

2011-04-03T21:17:00.000+08:00

Yup! We had durian buffet at SS2, PJ. Gosh... The durians kan... I wish I could hentam all but I still have to think of the days to come. I don't want to be down with fever or else I won't be able to enjoy my days. Hehe! So, only ate a few of durians. Biarlah berpada-pada! ;p

Heaven!!!

The durian buffet was RM15 per person - eat all you can!
There were also 3 for RM10.
We ate the RM15 per container ones. Got discount somemore, 4 containers for RM50. Boleh lah! Itu pun tak abis. Left 1 more container and we brought home.

The sister also enjoyed the durian very much.
Sayang the youngest wasn't around or else she would love this too.
The eldest? She can't even smell the durians. Allergic! Lol!

Do you eat durian? If yes, let's go for another round together someday! :) I lurveee durians I could even open the durian with a spoon! :p

Vacation: Philippines & Puerto Galera, Mindoro [1]

2011-03-31T11:45:00.000+08:00

This is a continuation of my previous previous post on my Pre-Vacation in Port Dickson and being in Kota Kinabalu with Angel Et Cetera while having the chance to meet some bloggers friends.

From Feb 24-28, Angel, Chaca, Lola, Lenny and I went to the Philippines for a fun trip. Canne was supposed to join us but she couldn't make it, so, ticket burned! It's okay since the price of our ticket was only RM113 for a round trip. Thanks to AirAsia for cheap tickets! We actually bought our tickets as early as July 2010.

It was also rather a self-adventure trip with some help from my friends in Manila - Yscel, Raxy & Monica who brought us around and Ley & Jem for the planning. I was there in Dec 2007, for an internship with the International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS). And now, here's the fun we had! (All pictures were taken by me, hence the quality & I don't really take pictures coz I was holding the video cam. For more interesting pictures, visit Angel of Et Cetera here and here and here - She covered the whole story. Mine is the shorter version ;p)

KK with Angelina before vacation: Mini Bloggers Meet-up

2011-03-30T22:17:00.000+08:00

This post is the continuation of KK with Angelina before vacation

Before I continue, let me laugh first. HAHAHAHA~~~ Because this is like so yesterday's post! Delayed too long already. Sorry! I was busy ma... Busy doing NOTHING! ;p Ok, let's continue~ *wink*

So, after loitering around KK town with my bestie, Angel Et Cetera, we actually met up with 2 of our bloggers friends. We were supposed to meet with some others but they couldn't make it so there were only 4 of us during that so-called meet-up.

We arrived Upperstar Damai together with Rungitom of The Rungitom after we meet up at Center Point and waited for Annie of AnnieMing but couldn't wait so we ordered our first round of food. Mind you, Angel and I actually had 2 rounds of meal that night which we shared together :) I don't have the pictures of the food we ate since we were to busy talking and knowing each other better - of course between us (Angel & I) and Tom. It happened to be that Tom and I were of the same age. We talked about work and life. Annie arrived a few minutes after that and I can say that it's really nice to know Annie - beautiful as she is, humble and more relaxed person. The way she talks really shows her intelligence. I don't know why I'm saying this but maybe it's because sometimes, I tend to talk 'ikut suka mulut saja' without thinking. I shall learn how to be more polite when meeting with others after this! And of course Annie and Tom had more stories to tell each other since Tom studied in the school where Annie is teaching now. So, their stories were all about the teachers at the school and some blocks which was burnt down. Kan? :p

On another note, I actually met a local artist during an event I attended. I actually ask her directly - I'm sorry I don't know you - and asked her what's her name. See how 'terus terang' I can be?

So, here goes a few photos of us all together for a record that we met :) I do hope that I'll get the chance to meet more bloggers friends after this. It's nice to get to know them in person.

Tom - he was actually talking to Annie (I think so)

Both Angel & I love this photo of Annie's beautiful smile!
And there's her Mr's tapau.. Hehe...

We gurls - Annie, Angel & I

Tom, Angel & I

Group photo!

So, that's all for now. Till then. Have a good day! :)

Finally, this is Day 1.

SPM Result

2011-03-23T15:06:00.000+08:00

So, finally the SPM result is out today.

Well, I can't really remember what happened on the day I got my result back in 2004. All I could remember was that I was running away, or more like 'hiding' from my Chemistry and Biology teachers. Why? Simply because I knew I was not going to get a good grade for both subjects. But lucky me that I passed both subjects, with C6 for Chemistry and B4 for Biology. I just hate Science subjects!

And till today, I still couldn't understand, maybe, anything from what I've learnt in those classes.

May you live in peace Mr Lim & Mr Chan! ;p

And until now, whenever I go back to my hometown, I still try to avoid both teachers. Hahaha!!!

10 Days Challenge - Day 2

2011-03-23T08:00:00.001+08:00

This is Day 2.

2 Songs

Current favourite would be

1. What Are Words by Chris Medina

This songs mesmerized me a lot. It's not just about the song or the singer but also about the meaning behind the song. Really touching! Plus my sister has been humming this song all day long!

2. When God Made You by Natalie Grant

Nice wedding song, I guess. I always like this one...

1 Blanket For Japan

2011-03-23T01:31:00.000+08:00

Source

I know there are many efforts done now to help Japan and this is one that was forwarded by my friend Emilia of Masam-Masam Manis. You can read her entry here. She's running this project now and this will only last till Friday, 25th March 2011!! If you are reading this and want to lend a hand to help Japan, you can either buy a blanket and pass to Emilia (since she's trying to collect as much as she could -minimum would be 50 blankets) if you are in Johor area or you may send her the money and she'll buy the blanket for you. She found one at U Mall, Taman Universiti, Skudai worth only RM13! I believe it's not too much to ask. She even volunteered to buy and collect the blankets before sending it to the pick-up points. See how noble she is!

But if you want to collect and hand in at your own area, you can visit these sites for more info:

For Angel Et Cetera

2011-03-14T13:22:00.015+08:00

This post is specially dedicated to my friend, Angelina.

This is not about me.

But about her.

But all photos contained me and her.

Urm, so, ok, about me and her.

There're a lot of pictures in this post.

So, be patient.

It's lent season.

Muahahaa...

Here's a story about the friendship between me and my dearest friend, Angelina :)

Dearest Angelina Et Cetera,

This took me hours to compile all pictures - but I believe this is not all of it. There are more but I malas want to korek2 coz I dunno where else to get the pictures. I hope you'll like this :)

I know this is nothing, but I hope it will make your day. Here's just a simple thought for you on this day...

Let's walk down memory lane with me...

It started in 2006 at London - whoops! Salah... Lendu ;p

We couldn't stay still there so we travelled to UTM up Balai Cerap!

We attended church events for a motive at the end - to get this guy's hp number! Lol!

There's a picture of four of us but that couldn't be uploaded due to personal reasons

(tu org suda kawin.. bahaya!! Lol!!)

One of my fav picture with u!

We met two monkeys and spent most of our times with them during weekends doing nothing! Rheeno and William - our best friends!

See, William even did this for us!

We shared the same bunch of wonderful friends over the years

And still attend some church events over the years

Which I presented to you a certificate! Hehe...

We enjoyed ourselves everywhere we are - and this was when you were in Miri 2009

And more pictures!

Tenma came into your life - but I'm still your best friend! Hehe...

We meet new people who 'jumped' into our lives

And enjoyed Melaka very much coz that was the place where we had so much fun!

We got ourselves into trouble (LOL) but we still had fun!

We wasted our time together - coz we knew it's worth it!

We supported each other and even our own friends

Thank you for all the years we spent together...

I know there's many more to come for more fun!

Thank you for all the birthdays you spent with me!

And the surprise gift you got me!

I love u pare'!

Through tick or thin - after all the food we consumed,

Through straight or curl - over the years with different hair styles...

Some things can only be shared with some particular person - karaoke, bowling, travelling, cam-whoring, fitiing room, food, etc but not boyfriend! ;p

And you know what's so special about this pictures?

All were taken at one particular spot over the years - KEDAI MAKAN!!!!

The double-dates we had!

Notice the difference between both pictures?

The top one was taken in 2006 and the bottom one was taken recently, February 2011 :D

So, on this day, I would like to wish you a Blessed Birthday and many happy returns of the day! I'm sorry that I am so far away that I couldn't spend this birthday with you.

Thanks for being so wonderfully YOU!! May all your dreams and wishes come true through the days and may this year be a wonderful one for you!

Love you lots!!! xoxo

p/s: I'm in a hurry right now so I don't have the idea to write a wonderful piece for you but I hope you like this one :)

4. Snipers - They can be anywhere especially in areas with a lot of high buildings (I know, too much of CSI etc..)

5. Basement parking - Especially when it's dark and no one's there, who knows there are bad people hiding behind cars trying to do something kan..

6. Not being able to finish work on time - time is gold, no time should be wasted (sedangkan skrg hari2 buang masa... urgh...)

8. Failure - hah.. Ni mmg la.. But sometimes we just have to accept it no matter what...

KK with Angelina before vacation

2011-03-11T14:42:00.004+08:00

Another delayed post. I shall hurry up to update my blog more often! :)

I love being in KK. It makes me feel as if I'm at home. Not just the environment but also the people around me. But most of all, waking up in Borneo and living there is so much different from waking up in KL or in the Peninsular because your day begin as early as 6 am in KK which would be like 7 am in the Peninsular. Days will feel longer when you start it early everyday, and I just loved it! (Eventhough I woke up at around 10 am in KK) Lol!

Just after the ToT or my so-called vacation in PD, I was in KK before the Philippines trip with my girl friends. I was there 2 days before departure since I planned to spend some time with my buddy, Angelina of Et Cetera. She was at the airport with her mom to fetch me the day I arrived KK. We headed straight to McD Kingfisher before heading back home since I haven't had my dinner and Angel actually forgot that she had her dinner earlier until we were at the counter to place an order for our meal.

Tenma was so excited to welcome me at home - that she urinated when she saw me. Sorry Angel, you have to clean up the mess! Lol!

The next day, we spent our time looking for a money changer with the best offer. First, we planned to check out the money changer at Suria Sabah, and at the same time, Angel was looking for a travelling beg to bring along for our vacation. Unfortunately, we ended up wasting our time in a bridal boutique, trying out a few wedding dresses and took pictures in the fitting room. Girls huh? ;)

At one of the bridal boutique at Suria Sabah.

We both loved the dress at first but mine was too tight on me at the lower part and loose at the upper part.

Hmm...

Nope, I'm not getting married too soon but I love this style.

We both love this one!

Angel's fav! I like it too! Rojak buah at Suria Sabah food court.

We end up changing money at Wisma Merdeka after that and headed to Center Point while waiting for a blogger meet-up that night. I'll blog about it in another entry :)

p/s: I drove a car with an expired road tax the whole day. Luckily there were no road blocks on that particular day. Walaupun nerves juga la takut2 ada pak polisi ;p

International Women's Day 2011

2011-03-08T16:53:00.004+08:00

Hi all! Finally I'm back to my daily routine. Just that this time it would be a little bit different. I'll keep myself occupied with many things and hopefully I can get things done before it's too late. :)

It has been a wonderful day to start off my week today. I attended the International Women's Day 2011 celebration at The Malaysian-American Commission on Educational Exchange (MACEE), today with other women. The event was scheduled to start at 10.00am but it was a little bit delayed due to some problem. Amanda and I were just in time for the event, we actually bumped into Miss Liana Fizi on the way up to The Lincoln's Room.

It was a week ago that I received an invitation by one of my friend from EMPOWER to attend this event. I know you might not know what the hell am I talking about, right? EMPOWER or Persatuan Kesedaran Komuniti Selangor (PKKS) was formed by a group of people who believe that they can shape and build a more democratic Malaysian society (taken from the pamphlet).

The event started off with a performance by Miss Liana Fizi - one of her famous song is 'Ternyata'. She is a really pretty person and plays the guitar very well. How I wished I could play as good as her! I couldn't remember the first song she sang, I think it's called 'Killing Me' - if I'm not mistaken.

The event continued with a welcome and introduction speech by Ms Maria Chin Abdullah, the Executive Director PKKS (EMPOWER), followed by a brief remark by Ambassador Paul W. Jones, and talk by guest speaker Ms Shanti Dairiam, Former CEDAW Committee Member & Member, Board of Directors IWRAW Asia Pacific. Two distinguished MPs were also present during the event - YB Dato' Sri Azalina Dato' Othman Said and YB Fuziah Salleh.

It was a very meaningful event for me to attend since I was able learn from other's experiences and at the same time, I became more aware of things that is surrounding me nowadays. It was also interesting to hear the stories by the two MPs - the successful women in our country and how they cope with their life. It's not an easy job to do because one has to deal with a lot of people and in our society, men are the ones who conquered most of the things, though nowadays we have women leaders too.

Here are some pictures taken during and after the event:

So, to all women out there, Happy International Women's Day! get equality right for all women!

P/S: My vacation is over now. I'll update my blog soon with the latest events I went through for these past few weeks. Do drop by regularly ya! :)

Vacation Mode

If you noticed my DaisyPath, it's time for my vacation with my girl friends now. Mine starts today because I have to fly to KK first before our destination. I'll update whenever possible.

We'll be staying overnight at Avocado in Alabang before our trip to Puerto Galera. Do pray for our safety so that we'll go and come back in one piece :)

Take care & have a wonderful day...

God bless... :)

R.I.P. Helena Suling

2011-02-22T10:51:00.003+08:00

If you have been following my blog and noticed, this is the third passing for this month, of close family and friend.

Late Helena Suling, through family relation, is my second cousin. But I have been very close with her family because her daughter, Jenny Lucas, is a good friend (niece) of mine. She's one year older than me.

I used to spend my weekends with her, staying overnight at their house and be with them whenever I am back in my hometown. I never failed to pay them a visit everytime I'm home.

Last November 2010, I was back in Miri after finishing my studies. Coincidentally, Jenny was about to go back to Miri since her mom (the deceased) had to go to Miri General Hospital for check-ups. Since I was also doing nothing, Jenny asked for my help for transportation. Together with Jenny, Sophia and her two cute daughters - Angellyn and Chrystal, and their mom/ grandma, I transported them from the ferry point to the private hospital, then to the general hospital and to town, then to their brother's new house in Miri. Least I expect that the pain she endured was bad, pretty bad. I thought it was just a regular check-up. I didn't want to bother too much, and keep myself busy by taking care of the two kids while their mom and aunt were busy taking care of their grandma.

Angellyn is very close with her grandma (the deceased). She was brought up by her grandma and her aunt (Jenny), since her mom (Sophia) is a nurse and often work night shifts. She sleeps with her grandma and spend most of her time with her grandma. Chrystal is now almost 2 years old (if I'm not mistaken) and has also been taken care by her grandma. I could still clearly remember Chrystal calling for her grandma, "Nenek... Nenek..." After this, they won't be able to call for their grandma anymore...

I still remember how she used to hug me everytime she sees me. With her 'sarung', she'll come to me and ask when did I arrive home, asked me to stay the night with them at their house, and even offered me drinks and food. That's how nice she was to me.

I remember clearly last December when she came for one of her check-ups, she asked me to bring us (together with Jenny) for a drink. "Pergi makan cendol kita", that's how she said to me. We went to the stalls in between the RHB bank and Sin Liang, chit chat while having our drinks and eating rojak tauhu and rojak sotong. She even explained to us (me and Jenny) about our family ties, and some of the family's history which she requested us to keep it only in between us. Hmm...

I remember she asked me to stay over at Jenny's brother's house in Taman Jelita. "Tido sini kamu malam ni, dengan kami", but I didn't. Instead, I brought Jenny out for kolok mee next to JPJ Miri.

Sunday, 20 February 2011, I received a text from my sister telling me that Jenny's mom passed away. I couldn't believe it because I didn't know that she was that critical. I called mom, and she told me that it's true. I couldn't held my feelings and burst into tears. Luckily, it was already the end of the event that I attended. It was so hard for me to accept that she's gone. And when I called Jenny, she was the one who comforted me, instead of me comforting her. I couldn't say anything expect "sorry"... No words could describe my feelings at that time. Jenny was saying, "Sabar Kate... Pray untuk dia..." I tried to console myself, saying a simple prayer that God will always be with her (the deceased) and the family she left behind. I know, God loves her more and didn't want her to endure more pain, so God gave her a better place to go to, a place where it's so beautiful and happiness is the only thing that exist, and a place by God's side, in heaven...

I tried to book a ticket back to Miri to attend the funeral which is supposed to be tomorrow, 23 February 2011, but when I was about to purchase the ticket, the price went up. I wish I could be there, how I wish I was in Miri all this while, or maybe I have a lot of money that I could fly back instantly. But no, I don't have it all. I texted Jenny, telling her that I'll try to go back, and she replied, "Try la Kate..." But I couldn't. My dad also said that we don't have enough money, but I'll be home next week and hope to visit them if they are still in Miri.

Now, all I can do is to pray for the soul of the departed. That she may find peace and rest peacefully.

It's just too hard for me to take it all, but if God put us to it, He'll surely get us through it all.

You will always be remembered and missed by all of us, mak Jenny...

My Wish as a Woman

2011-02-20T10:09:00.002+08:00

...is that everyone is given an equal chance in education especially those who are living in the interior parts of Sarawak, my homeland...

Education is the most important element in one's life because only with education that a person can better improve their own living and also their family as well. I used to have this thinking in mind that no matter how poor you are, if you have education, you can make a living. I'm not saying this to offend those without education, but with skills. Everyone has their own talent and if you have the proper skills and you are hardworking, you sure can make a living.

Just my 2cents :)

Pre-vacation: Port Dickson, Malaysia

2011-02-19T22:45:00.005+08:00

This is my version of my so-called pre-vacation. :) I spent 3D2N at Selesa Beach Resort, Port Dickson, Malaysia. Yup, still in the country itself!

I was there as the documentator for the Training of Trainers which was organised by Pusat KOMAS. For 3days, I sit at the computer and documented everything. Almost everything.

I enjoyed my stay there as much as I enjoyed the beach, and of course the training too. As I was not the participant for this program, I could not say much and get involved in the presentations and discussions. But that doesn't limit my interest in knowing more about our rights and learning about other people's struggles in making this world a better place by starting small - in their own community. It was indeed a very inspiring event to join in.

Here are a few pictures taken during the event (not many pictures were taken coz I was busy with other stuffs):

The room I shared with Evelyne - I think they just painted the room, hence the strong smell of paint that gave me headache every night before bed.

Things that need to be documented - group presentations

Yup, everyone had fun. It was an interesting program to attend!

Know your rights, learn to know your rights. Everyone needs this as a citizen.

Childhood Memories

2011-02-13T20:49:00.006+08:00

I'm sure every one of us have our own childhood memories. As for me, I think I have the bestest childhood memories compared to other people. Hehe... I'm sure yours is the best too but I still want mine to be the bestest among the best. Lol! Kidding! Tak mau kalah punya orang!

I grew up living in a school compound, since my mom is a teacher, and we are still staying at the same house till today - except that I don't go back home to Marudi much often anymore since we own a house in Miri. My friends are all sons and daughters of government servants - teachers in particular and school staffs.

We used to have a tower made by Uncle Luke, Amanda's father in front of their house where we can climb up the tower and play up there. It was fun climbing up there, you never know how we love climbing before. Here's the tower where all the kids in the compound used to gather.

Can you spot me? :p

It's not longer there since Amanda and her family moved to Miri in 2000.

Another thing we used to have was our "rumah pondok". We built a small hut using plywoods and whatever we could get from the nearby construction area. We even have a place to cook, where Vicky actually burnt the kuali while cooking the fish we caught from the dirty drain. Don't worry, we did not eat them, we only cook and throw them away. :) We even have a toilet, where one of our friend, Atek, hide from Apek after being suspected of stealing firecrackers from the canteen which belonged to Apek. I wonder if Apek is still alive. Not so sure about that. There was one day when Apek came to our hut to look for Atek and wanted to scold Atek. That was the time when Apek's daughter who was also playing with us, was making a hole as a trap in case there's anyone come to distrub our hut that time. Konon-konon perangkap but it's only below the knee's deep! ;p Apek was unlucky that day because he fell into the trap which was made by his own daughter! Hahahaha!! Pity Apek!! Sorry ya Apek.. It wasn't your luck that day... Atek was hiding in our so-called "toilet" when Apek came. Apek could not find Atek so he went back home. =p Are you confused now with Apek and Atek? Hehehe!!! What a day for Apek... and Atek...

Besides having the tower and the small hut as our "play station", we also use to play "jual-jual". We will collect everything we could and pretend as if we were in the market selling things. I still remember the sign under one of the barracks where we used to play. "Kedai Bunga Vicky". It was actually still there until we were all in secondary school and we actually laughed when we saw it. We will visit each other's "stall" and ask each other, "ini berapa?" and pretend to buy.

That story actually reminds me of how naughty I was when I went to Apek's canteen with Allan and Amanda once. Amanda and I was asked to distract Apek while Allan go and steal a packet of keropok from Apek's canteen! I was a naughty girl for that one time ok, and no more after that coz I was scared to death. We distracted Apek by asking, "Apek, ini berapa" at each thing in the Apek's canteen. The canteen was actually in his house so you could easily access to the titbits everywhere. While Amanda and I distracted Apek, Allan quietly took a packet of keropok. Once he got hold of it, we said to Apek, "Tak apa lah, Apek" and walk away. Hahahaha!!!! Bad bad me!!! If only I could see Apek again, I will surely belanja him a packet of Twisties to replace that 20cents keropok I stole from him that time!

See how naughty I was? ;p

One thing that I missed the most now is birthday celebrations. That's the only time we will gather and all the kids will be wearing their best dress. We will usually have makan-makan and some games. When I look back at all the photos taken, it really made me miss that one moment in my life where there was no worries at all, and only love and friendship.

I think this was Andrina's birthday.
In this picture: Valerie, Vicky, Elaine, Felix, Caroline, myself, Augustine, Amanda, Charmaine, Andrina, not sure who were the ones standing behind and the one who's crying...

My friends and I are all grown ups now and we have chosen our own paths. But no matter what it is, we still keep in touch and will try to meet whenever there's a chance to do so. Nothing could separate us from each other no matter how far we go because we've known each other so well that we even treat each other as siblings. We would fight at times, but still we'll laugh together.

I really miss my childhood friends and the place we grew up. There's nothing like that anymore nowadays where kids are all busy playing computer games and it's dangerous to play outside. During my days, the only danger we knew were crazy dogs.

p/s: Thanks Vicky for uploading these beautiful pictures. :)

Batu Caves

2011-02-09T16:58:00.003+08:00

This is one of my delayed post.

It was on one fine Sunday afternoon, the bf and I had to bring his relatives who just got back from Germany and had been longing to visit Batu Caves. There were not many people around there that time but there was a bunch of Red Crescent trainees doing some survival training at the stairs. The weather was just fine too. We did not climb up to the cave since I've been up there before so we just walk around and look at people :)

Here are some pictures:

The beautiful worship place

Birds all around!

People who came to visit

Us, lingering around the area

The best time to visit Batu Caves would be during Thaipusam. My sisters and I actually went there at 3a.m. and the place was already packed. We didn't intend to drop by actually, just went there for a ride. :)

I love this place because I just love to sit and look at the environment and people around me. If you also love to travel and see places, maybe some day you can go visit Batu Caves. There's not much to see but it's a nice place.

Take care!

Fraser's Hill on CNY

2011-02-07T17:10:00.006+08:00

Since we're not celebrating CNY and grandma Cina just passed away a day before CNY, we decided to go on a trip away from the city. Mummy and August (my only brother who bothers me much) were here during the school holiday + CNY break. The bf and his cousin, Marc tagged along with us, the 4 sisters!

We started our journey at approximately 9.30 a.m. after getting lost for about an hour. The bf, Marc, Mag (sis #4) and I left home at 8 a.m. and was supposed to meet up with the rest at Tesco Rawang. Some miscommunication happened and we got lost for about an hour. My unreliable Bb couldn't help much though. Not the Bb's fault but it was totally my fault since I didn't know how to use it. Muahaha!!! Poor me! But I'm getting better now ok... ;p

The journey to Fraser's Hill took about 2hours++. It was a narrow and winding road uphill, with monkeys playing by the roadside and lots of cars. The road was only fit for one car at a time and a lot of turnings. We were lucky because the gate was open when we arrived at the entrance. Do take note of times to enter Fraser's Hill because they have certain time when cars are only allowed to go uphill or downhill.

Basically, it's all about the beautiful buildings and the cool weather. Nothing much to see coz it's just a small town. Not much to eat too. It's just that you'll have the feeling as if you are somewhere out of Malaysia when you are up at Fraser's Hill because of the buildings and weather. Other than that, there's nothing much to do there. There's also a small river where you can go for picnic but it's small. Mini-river with man-made waterfalls. Guess it's a good place to go for family retreat or to relax your mind and get out of the city. Other than that, I don't think it's a good place to go unless you don't mind taking the long journey uphill. Not much entertainment, though. But it's nice, I liked it for it's nature. Very clean air! A lot of families were up at Fraser's Hill when we were there for family picnics/ gatherings.

Here are some pictures to tell the story.

Next journey, I'd like to discover Bukit Tinggi. A friend of mine told me that it's somewhere near Genting Highlands. Will surely explore it soon!

Left job

2011-02-07T13:16:00.002+08:00

Yup, I left my previous job. Not that I won't be working anymore but I'll only be working if there are big events. Pelik kan? ;p

Since the office was shifting to another building when I started working, I manage to help with the packings and angkat-angkat barang until my body aches everyday I come back from work. Not complaining coz it's good exercise for me. :) I really enjoyed helping them moving but when it comes to free time, I'll be really free in the office and don't know what to do since there's not much for me to do as a part-timer with this particular NGO. I just dislike loafing around doing nothing, and most of the time I'll be checking my Facebook account or update my Twitter from time to time. So, since I've been offered another job close to home (as a tuition teacher), I decided to tell them. I know, I'm jumping from one job to another, and I only work for 10 days! :)

The pay was pretty high, but still money wasted on travelling and meals. Meals ok. We'll have breakfast when I arrive office, then lunch, after lunch we'll hop to another shop for dessert, and in the evening, tea time. Nah. Mana tak duit pun abis... But I enjoyed, I really did.

For the mean time, I'll just sit at home and do house chores (my passion) while waiting for my trips (starting end of this month) and cook dinner. Oh, means I'll be able to update my blog, maybe daily ;)

Take care & have a good day!

R.I.P. Grandma Cina

2011-02-05T18:19:00.004+08:00

Lim Hay Nai (left)
29 Sept 1926 - 2 February 2011

Just a day before CNY, mum (right - above) texted me and told me that my Chinese grandma passed away. My best friend's brother just passed away 2 days ago and I was still sad thinking of the late John when my grandma's time was over. Frankly speaking, I was quite shocked by all these passing and I started to have this mixed feelings. I kind of lost my sense of feeling, no tears, but I just feel sad thinking of the passing.

My mum was adopted by another family when she was born. Which means that she has two mothers. Being raised up by another mother, my mum still keep in touch with her real family and have good relationship with them. We will also visit them once in a while. My late Chinese grandma only speaks Hokkien, unlike my late Chinese grandpa who speaks a lil bit of Malay. We were not that close to each other due to language barrier. However, we still regard her as our biological grandma.

I didn't get the chance to go and see her. I don't even remember the last time I met her. I think it was in 2007. Mum also had some difficulties to see late grandma since late grandma passed away a day before CNY and there were some taboos of married daughters to go back to see their mum - which I'm not so sure about.

May you rest in peace, grandma Cina... You have won the race, and it's time for you to take your rest... We'll miss you...

R.I.P. John Hudson Southwell

2011-01-31T12:09:00.003+08:00

I received an SMS from my good friend, Amy this morning telling me about my childhood friend's eldest brother who just passed away this morning. I didn't want to believe her at first coz I know that if such things happen, Amanda (my best childhood friend) will surely inform me. It happens to be that Amanda texted my other number which I didn't turn on. I fell into tears when I knew the truth and told my mum about it since I couldn't contact Amanda at first.

John was a good brother to his siblings. I am very close with Amanda's family, and I even consider them as a part of my family. I used to stay with them everytime I went to Miri before we owned our own house in Miri. When we were young, I remembered Amanda and I with a few friends acted out to be detectives and went to 'investigate' John's whereabouts because we heard that he smoke cigarettes. On our way back home, Amanda got bitten by a crazy dog. And we all got scolded. In revenge, John decided to poisoned the dog by giving it poisonous food! (I'm not sure if this story is true but I grew up with this story in my mind). Another event that made me think of John is when he used to help my dad at home building our speedboat. He used to work with my dad and he's very close with my dad. Oh John... I wish I knew you better...

Now that he's gone, I'll only be able to pray for his soul, may he rest in peace coz I know God loves him more. For Uncle Luke, Aunty Jane, Vicky, Amanda, Alaistair & Aunty Florence who are always there for John, be strong. May God bless you always...

My deepest condolence to the deceased family....

My Saturday

2011-01-29T21:47:00.001+08:00

Finally I was able to get enough rest and spent some valuable time at home. It has been a hectic week since I start working part-time last week. We were busy shifting to a new office, so there were a lot of packing done as well as carrying heavy boxes. I'm pretty aware here that women are not encouraged to life heavy things. But I just had to do the job. I can't just stand and watch. I must do. And the office is almost complete now. Good thing about the new office is that it's closer to the LRT station, which means I can just walk over to the office. Another thing is that it's new. Yes, I love new things, new environment. Maybe a better feng-shui?

Today, I managed to wake up by noon. I usually wake up by 8 am every day. Felt lazy to cook so we ordered Domino's Pizza which arrived in just 30 minutes. And today, the bf and I spent time watching Hindi movie. It was fun though... In the evening, we cooked dinner and ate. Just nice, spending time at home. And now we are watching another Chinese movie. Wish I could spend more time at home like I used to do before. It's very tiring to travel to work everyday.

Ok then... Have a great weekend with your loved ones. God bless!

Andaikan harusku memilih

2011-01-18T19:52:00.002+08:00

Wah... Tajuk.. Gempark gitue... Lol! Jarang2 sekali saya memblog dalam Bahasa Malaysia (mungkin ada slang Sabah sikit, sangat terpengaruh suda sama slang Sabah). So, kali ini, saya mau blog dalam bahasa. Bukan apa.. Sebab sa mau cakap tentang perasaan. Lebih romantik kalau berbahasa kan sebab senang difahami. Kalau cakap dalam bahasa orang putih, nanti ada yang salah faham. Haha! Urm... Apa yang sa merepek ni? :p

Sebenarnya, post ni bukan tentang perasaan sa. Ni tentang lagu yang siok.. Tp ni lagu rohani tau, so sesuai untuk umat Kristian saja. :) Sudi2 lah dengar lagu ni... Liriknya dibawah ya...

Kasih setia Mu Tuhan
Lebih dari hidupku
Jalan jalan Mu ya Tuhan
Terbaik bagiku

Dari s'mua yang Kau katakan
Tiada dusta ku temui
Dari s'mua yang Kau janjikan
Tiada yang tak terpenuhi

Andai kan ku harus memilih
Tetap hatiku padaMu
Tak satu pun dapat menggantikan Mu
Hanya Kau yang berarti bagiku

Lebih dari semua yang ada
Kaulah s'galanya bagiku
Tak inginku berpaling dariMu
S'lamanya ku akan menyembah Mu, Tuhan...

So, macam mana? Siok kan... :)

Stay blessed ya...

Late Christmas Gifts

2011-01-14T15:23:00.005+08:00

Yesterday was a day, I'd say, quite fruitful for me since I was out of home, walk more than a mile (rather that just sitting at home doing house chores) and laughed a lot! I decided to meet up with one of my ex-degree-classmate (is there such thing?haha!) since she knew that I'm currently in KL. So, she took me out for lunch. We went for laksa at Ampang Park, and I can say that it was GGOOOOODDDD!! Delicious laksa! I know it looks spicy but when you taste it, it's not that spicy.

Here's my friend, Hazween. She's the founder of our 'band' called 'Bandage'. LOL!
We actually missed the first train to KLCC since we both were not so good with directions in KL. Haha!

After spending more than an hour at that stall, we went to KLCC. Initially planned to look for a music store but ended up meeting my kakak who apparently just lost her phone and couldn't tahan to get another new phone! Heh! She's working so it's her money and her right to use her money. So, I tagged along to Maxis with Hazween and kakak's friend. Unfortunately, they don't have the model she wanted there. Hazween and I decided to go to the bookstore instead but halfway up, she received a phone call from her sister and had to fetch her sister. So, I was left alone before chasing my sister at Celcom (since she can't hardly wait for the model to arrive at Maxis) and she bought her phone. Yeay! She's happy with her new phone! I was happy too (for no reason) Sigh. Unemployed. What to do.. Just follow and kongsi kegembiraan jak lah!

We head our own way after that since she had to visit her friend who was hospitalized. So, I headed back to Ampang Park to meet the bf after work and took my package. Yippie! All documents arrived safely!
Well, we always use Nationwide Express since my parents were the agents before in my hometown. Heh.

It was actually a Christmas card sent by a good friend of mine, Emmy, and a parcel from Hazween. She actually sent me a Christmas gift. Such thoughtful friends have I! Both were actually sent to Sarawak since I thought I will be in Sarawak to receive both packages. My mom have to post it back to KL. See how far these packages travelled. Haha!

The Christmas card. Thanks Emmy!! She never failed to send me Christmas cards every year!

And here are my gifts from Hazween! Nope, not the antivirus, that's just the box. Haha! See the CD? She actually did a recording for me. Will check it out laterrrr... ;)

And the most important things of all, my documents from campus! Now I can hand in my letters to my scholarship and they will arrange for my posting while I'll keep on pushing them to do so! Hehe!

Ok, makan2 time at Popeyes with the bf and his friend! The bf wanted to eat KFC but landed at Popeyes to try out this new outlet. Not bad, less oily but the taste is not as good as KFC. That's what we think. Huhu... Still the concept is more or less similar to KFC.

Aite, that's all for now. Till then~~~

4 hours at Borders

2011-01-13T23:07:00.004+08:00

I just love spending time at bookstores. I was at The Curve to accompany the bf. He had to attend a gathering so I decided to tag along but was left alone. Heh. Nasib baik la ada kedai buku. So, I decided to wait for him at Borders while reading some books.

I didn't realize that I was there for 4 hours coz the book was interesting enough to keep me occupied. Laughed a lil while reading and saw a man reading with the price tag hanging on the glasses he wore. My guess was that he forgot to bring his specs along so he borrowed one from the counter, took it out of the plastic, wore it, and put it back in the plastic after finished reading and returning it to where it belongs. Smart kan? Haha!

At first, I was reading this book...

... before this one caught my eyes.

Interesting enough to accompany me. The bf looked for me after 4 hours. I was hungry but decided to wait for him (since I'm not the kind of person who will go and sit and eat alone) but sadly, he took his dinner and forgot to text me to tell me to go get my dinner. Sedihnya kena lupa. So, I pun merajuk and no dinner that night till the next day. Hope he will do this again (dapat juga diet2 kunun) haha!

Aircraft skids on KIA runway

2011-01-11T14:44:00.002+08:00

I was reading this a few seconds ago...

Aircraft Skids on Kuching International Airport Runway

...and these are my thoughts:

1. Glad that no one was injured.
2. It involved an AirAsia flight - for flights delayed more than 2 hours (correct me if I'm wrong), passengers could claim their RM200 voucher. Means save RM200 for the next flight. Yeah?!?!?!
3. The PRS assemblyman decided to save his iPad - mahal tu... huhu...
4. Signs - the disco ball dropped on stage at the AJL??? Apa kaitan with the aircraft???
5. PRS assemblyman sempat buat lawak "No by-election coz he had survived" Ok...

Current city: KL!!

2011-01-07T16:38:00.005+08:00

Yes, I'm in KL :) I was in Miri for Christmas, KK for New Year and now in KL (dan terpaksa mem'burn' ticket balik Miri...sigh...)

Oh, it's my first post for the year 2011! Happy New Year dear bloggers! How was the celebration? We had a small family gathering (BF's side) in KK then watched the fireworks from home at midnight. It was a very colorful new year in Penampang and from the BF's home, we could clearly watch the fireworks. Very beautiful :)

Well, just some current updates on what I have been doing for the past few days since I arrived KL.

Day 1: Arrival
Arrived home by late evening, had dinner and rest. Tired of travelling. Huhu...

Day 2: House Cleaning
Managed to rearranged things in the bedroom and living room. Nothing much, just lotsa DUST! Washed some clothes, didn't managed to finish up everything since I have to do it manually. So, I cuci sikit2 ja.. Hehe.. Will continue soon!

Day 3: Job hunting
Urm... It's not really job hunting for me. Just went to the office to meet the boss and ask if there are any vacancies. Unfortunately, they only want permanent staffs. Since I can't promise how long will I be able to work with them, so they couldn't offer me the job. I made my way to Asia Jaya alone, met the boss, lunch then off to KLCC jalan-jalan while waiting for the BF to finish working. Then off to Sh Alam to fetch youngest sister. Sempat jalan-jalan at SACC mall and bought the birthday cake at Secret Recipe for the second youngest sister. Then fetch eldest sister at KJ LRT station before heading to Subang to fetch the birthday girl. Had dinner (late dinner) at Dominos - requested by the birthday girl.

Then jalan2 at Sunway. The lights are beautiful there. Boleh buat cover Christmas card for this year ;p We enjoyed each other's company while snap2 through the youngest sister new lense!

Me and my beautiful sisters! ;)

Day 4: Movie + Facebooking
Watched 'Couples Retreat' while having my Twisties. Then cook dinner. Skipped lunch since I woke up quite late. Quite late ok.

Need to do more house cleaning after this since the BF's sister with her hubby and baby, along with BF's cousin with his parents will stay over for a night tomorrow. But my tahap kemalasan boleh tahan juga now. Sigh... Ok, need to cook dinner. They are coming back home soon!

The Twenty-Ten

2010-12-29T11:42:00.002+08:00

Left a few days and there goes 2010. It's time for me to sit down and reflect things that I've went through throughout this year. Nothing much, I guess. Lots of ups and downs but I'd rather looks the the ups rather than the downs. :)

Jan 2010
I did my teaching practicum at SMK Tinggi Melaka, an all boys school. It was fun, with great filled experiences and lots of work to do. Teaching has never been my passion all this while but since I'm in this line, guess I'll have to try to love this job then.

Feb 2010
Still teaching. Observations by supervisor and mentors. Oh how I missed my students!

March 2010
Yup, still teaching.

April 2010
Teaching practicum ended. Went to Kuching to visit Lola' and baby Odylia Nawai was born.

May 2010
Back home in my hometown. Celebrated Mummy's birthday with Amai.

June 2010
Went to Bali with the Bf and his friends. It was fun but I look fat in most of the pictures :(

July 2010
Back to campus for my final semester. Busy with class projects and had the least sleeping hours. Progressing slowly on my Academic Exercise.

August 2010
Class projects, assignments, all about studies.

Sept 2010
Went back to Miri during the Raya holidays. Class trip to Eagle Ranch, Seremban. Everything was about spending the last few months with classmates.

Oct 2010
Turned 24 on the 24th~ Celebrated after the Twitup with a few friends and sisters, and of coz the Bf!

Nov 2010
Officially ended my Degree :) Cried on the bus on the way back to KL. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Went back home to Miri and was busy with family matters. Oh, was in KK before Miri. The Bf's cousin's wedding. Siokk!!! Danced the whole night. Bukan clubbing ah.. but sumazau ;)

Dec 2010
Family Gathering of grandchildren of Use' (pronounced uh-sek) - my father's side. Great to know more relatives and hang out a lot with them before Christmas. Made my own 'Kek Belacan' and it was a success! Hehe... Christmas celebration in Miri with family and New Year in KK. :)

Did I miss anything? Hmm...

Thanks for 2010. Hope 2011 will be better! :)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

2010-12-27T17:28:00.002+08:00

Greetings! :)

It's been a while since my last entry. Nothing much, just busy with Christmas preparation and all. This year's Christmas is just like any other Christmas but my siblings managed to get my parents a Christmas gift. I think that's what special about this year's Christmas. We bought them a massaging thingy from Ogawa. I so don't know what it's called. Heh..

And for my new year, I'll be celebrating it here in KK. :) An addition to the family, baby Odylia is here too for her first Christmas and New Year in KK.

Hope you'll have a wonderful time celebrating both celebrations and stay safe wherever you are! Lotsa accidents happen nowadays, especially during this kind of season. So, stay alert on road ya..

Ok then.. Till then, take care and enjoy your day!

Status: COMPLETE!

2010-12-10T09:56:00.004+08:00

I've just checked my email and result is out!

I'm satisfied with what I've achieved after these 4 years coz I know that's the best I could achieve. Some semesters were left wasted with fun, yet I did not regret a thing. I'm glad that I've wasted some time while studying and not merely studying throughout the semester. :)

Looking back at my result makes me wanna continue my studies as soon as possible. My dad has been pushing me to continue my studies. But I'm still not sure whether to continue or start working but if you ask me, I would choose to continue my studies as soon as possible. I still want to study. But yet I'm afraid this feeling will remain only now - coz I'm unemployed. I'm afraid that when it comes to studying, I won't have the motivation to do so.

So far, I've only sent my CV to one company - and I'm actually applying for a job that I like most. I'd love to be in the customer service line, talking to people, telling them what to do, basically, it's all about talking talking talking and smiling smiling smiling at people. =D The job I've applied is to work in an office, join in events, travelling, and many more stuffs that I'd love to do if I'm working. I'm not putting much hope on it but I'd love to give it a try if I were given the chance to do so. So, for the mean time, I'll just wait and see. :)

Aite, will try to blog more after this coz I've been busy with family matters since the day I arrived home. And I just love them all. :)

Till then, take care!

Nah... Menyesal...

2010-11-26T09:59:00.002+08:00

I'm not sure if you are aware of the "Finishing School" Programme. It's the program (you'll think it's useless when you attend it) done at the end of the semester to prepare students to face the working world. Yup, I attended it. But only the morning session, went home after breakfast coz I don't seem to benefit a thing from it. Now, menyesal. Why? Coz I have difficulties in writing my CV! I know, it's not that difficult but I just don't have much time to sit down and think of what to put in my CV. I'm supposed to write in to a company by yesterday, but postponed it till today and now I'm in a hurry to fetch some friends at the airport and I already have plans for tonight. Dang! I wish I've prepared my CV earlier then I won't have to rush through it now.

And how I wish there's someone to help me to sort this out coz some people are just too busy to help me with things. Sad. So sad.

It's ok, I'll do it LATER!

Have a wonderful weekend & stay safe!

*Nephew's birthday party tonight, dinner date with fellow friends, visit to Gua Niah tomorrow, and will be busy touring Alvin, Fiona and gangs around Miri town!

Hello December!

2010-11-22T14:14:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post. Was busy finishing study and all. Didn't know that finishing studies would be that difficult. Too many things to pack to ship back home (4 boxes) and made 2 trips to KL to send my things to my sister.

It's already towards the end of November, means Christmas is around the corner! Can't wait to enjoy the time. For the mean time, I need to arrange my schedule and plan ahead. Many things to do and of course need to make the right decision. Surely need advice from the elders. I'll blog soon about things that I've went through for these past few weeks.

Stay tuned! ;)

Almost Done!

2010-11-11T03:42:00.004+08:00

I've been silent for quite a while to give way for my Academic Exercise (AE). Been struggling with it (not so, until last night) since a few weeks ago until I finally submitted the whole copy, but still soft-bounded, today. Will wait for evaluation till Friday, do some corrections and it will be ready to be hard-bounded! Can't wait for the hard-bounded copies. Angelina Et Cetera is done with hers. Looks like I'm so left behind here -_-

My final and last exam paper for my degree will be this Friday. I'm so excited to finish up everything and also feeling sad to leave this student life. I know, everyone agrees that student life is the best moment in one's life. I'm sure gonna miss this moment so much after next week!

Wonder how would it feel not coming back to Malacca anymore after this *sob sob*

Wish me luck and I'll be back soon! (^_^)

Happy Diwali

2010-11-05T09:49:00.005+08:00

Being raised and breed in a small town in Sarawak i.e. Marudi has not stopped me from knowing other cultures besides the common cultures in Sarawak. Since I was small, I have already been exposed to the Indian traditions. We used to love the muruku, capati, curry and many other good food cooked by one of my mum's friend, Aunty Grace, especially during Deepavali. She came to Marudi to teach and at that time, as far as I could remember, there are only 3 Indian teachers in Marudi. One of them got married with a local and raised 4 beautiful kids and is still living in Marudi till now.

I'm also glad that I was able to wear other culture's costumes as I grow up. It's always a wonderful thing to be proud of when you are able to wear some other culture's traditional costumes besides being proud of your own tradition. Nowadays, we even have more and more mixed marriages and it's common to see an Indian boy speaking Kayan, Kenyah, Iban or even Bidayuh, if one of their parents are from Sarawak. My neighbour's kids speaks fluent Kayan (their mum is a Kayan) and I'm so proud of them because I could not even speak my own language. For me, that's the true spirit of living in togetherness despite of the differences of race or religion that one has. No, I'm not going to talk about the 1Malaysia concept here. ;) I won't brag about it, I'll just let you see and think of it.

Malaysia Truly Asia? :)

My mum used to send me to fashion shows for kids when I was young. One of the costumes that I wore at one of the competitions was a saree :) I remembered asking my mum when I was in the car back from school, whether I need to put on the 'dot' on my forehead (that's what I used to call it back then). My mum said yes, and I was so excited to put that 'dot' on my forehead!

Spot me?
I've got a bigger frame of my single photo at home.
(^_^)

So here, I would like to wish Happy Deepavali
to those who are celebrating this colorful celebration.
May your homes be light up with the colors of joy on Deepavali :)

Have a wonderful long weekend & stay safe!

I'm not ready...

2010-11-03T00:26:00.005+08:00

... for many things after finish studying.

I know and I realized that I keep on telling people that I want to finish studying ASAP but when it comes to the end, I just feel like I'm not ready to finish too soon. Been studying for 5 years. Still at the end, I don't feel like it's enough. I'm scared of moving on. I'd rather stay stagnant at one position or one situation and let it be like that till like, perhaps, forever?

My last exam will be on Nov12, means there are only 10 more days for me as a student. Guess time flies too fast and furious, huh? Academic Exercise is still in the process and will finish by the end of the week, I hoped so. I've got other plans for the weekend so I better rush through it.

For the time being, I've already been offered a few jobs but I haven't send in my application letter yet. 3 out of the jobs offered is linked to a Human Rights NGO. Suits my interest. Can't wait to start working while waiting for my convocation, only if I'm accepted. But it will be in KL. Another one would be at a tuition center in Miri. The tuition center actually belongs to my friends' family. Means it's quite easy for me to get the job. But still, I need to think and consider many things.

I realized that as I grow older, there are more things for me to consider. After this, money will be the main issue. I will need to find my own money to survive. Need to look for alternatives at the same time to look for extra income. *bengong*

Whatever it is, I will just go with the flow. For the mean time, after graduation, I will be bonded with this scholarship for about 3-5 years. I'm expected to teach at polytechnics. Currently aiming for Sarawak or Sabah.

I'll just take care of what I currently need to do. The rest, I'll just let God lead. :)

Sometimes I wish I could just stay young.
There will be less things to worry about.
Just enjoy life as it is & live happily...

But life must go on.
It's the cycle of life.

#Oct23rdTwtup & 24 on the 24th!

2010-10-28T12:36:00.050+08:00

I realized that I should be focusing on my studies and Academic Exercise (AE) now but I can't help myself to not blog about my birthday as soon as possible! So, here I am... And I realized that I promised Angelina Et Cetera to write my entry in BM but I'm kindda in a rush right now and I don't think I have enough time to think of the appropriate words to use since I've been quite S.L.O.W. in my BM nowadays. Only speak with fluent BM Sabahan slang and Melayu Sarawak. Pardon me for that. But I promise that my next entry shall be in BM. PROMISE!

It was indeed a very very very wonderful birthday celebration for me this year since I celebrated it with my siblings (except my brother since he is in Sarawak), close friends, the BF and some of my sister's friends.

We actually went to a meet up for all Twitters at TTDI Community Hall, Damansara earlier in the evening before the birthday "surprise" just before midnight at Deutches Gasthaus, Damansara. The meet up was for all Twitters to gather and socialize but my siblings, friends, BF and I only socialize among ourselves! LOL! We had great time taking photos and talking while playing UNO! By 10PM, we were already off to Deutches Gasthaus for lepak-lepak while waiting for midnight. (^_^)

Add us up if you have a Twitter account!

Ulen and I *one of my long lost friend*
We used to send orang utan postcards to each other through snail mail before
when we were in secondary school!

My eldest sister and I

Proud Twitters! *except for Evan (2nd Right) heheh...*

This guy actually made his Twitter account after condemning it.
Haha!

Here's the FAILED surprise plans! ;p

Earlier that evening, when I was at the BF's place and was online using his laptop, I saw a message in his FB inbox which was sent to my close friends. It actually surprised me because he was planning for a surprise for me in Malacca. So sweet of u, babe! Unfortunately, that plan was cancelled since I came to KL that weekend. Sorry to fail you surprise, babe! Since I was in KL, my eldest sister and the BF then decided to celebrate my birthday *I guess so* after the #Oct23rdTwtup. While we were on the way to Shah Alam to fetch Angelina Et Cetera and Ulen, I was actually holding his phone and playing with it when my eldest sister texted him asking what cake flavor do I like the most. Hahah! I pretended not to open the text and tweeted about the flavor. ;) *opps..still pretending not knowing anything* We fetched Angelina Et Cetera and went to Giant Shah Alam to fetch Ulen. At the same time, Angelina Et Cetera was hiding my birthday gift in her handbag *which I actually saw several times but pretended not to know what it was! Kan masa tu sa mau simpan gonob sa dlm beg ko, masa tu la sa nampak suda tp pura2 tak tahu!! LOL!!!*

That's the story of all the FAILED surprises! LOL! Thanks anyways for the plans.. Sungguh terharu!!

Here are some pictures to tell the story of my birthday party!

Ulen is really a talented photographer!
And this picture was actually taken at exactly midnight.
The cake was finished by all the monsters before
24th of October 2010!
Luckily they bought a BIG cake!

My birthday celebration did not end there. It was a Sunday, so we went to St Anthony's Church for mass. I thank God for the 24 years He gave me and also pray for all my loved ones, especially my parents for bringing me up to become who I am today. =) And guess who we met there? Annieming's sister! She plays the organ at the church and she played it very well! It was Angelina Et Cetera who noticed her first. She texted Annieming right after mass to confirm and we went up to her to take some pictures as evidence that we met! Macam artis pula your sister ni, Annie! LOL! She was surprised when we greeted her. A very friendly person, indeed! Nasib baik kami jumpa sekejap ja.. Kalau lama-lama, memang tak habis-habis la cerita kami kan.. ;p The BF has been attending this church for quite some time and has been active in the choir too. He was also surprised to know that we knew (not actually knew) Sasha that time. It's nice to blog especially when you get the chance to meet that person in real world! I'm not sure if Annieming's sister has a blog. But Annieming sometimes blog about her family members. That's how we get to know them all! :)

Here's your sister yang dirindui selalu, Annieming! (^_^)

Macam jumpa artis pula kan.. Heheh!

After mass, my two BFs and I went to Jusco Taman Maluri for jalan-jalan while killing the time softly! I was actually hungry that time even though we had breakfast right before mass and I had my Fish Head Soup which was very delicious! Unfortunately, the picture is still in the BF's handphone. Itsokay. So, we went to hunt for a place to fill up my tummy and we came over this beautiful pink shop. I love it very much! Fruitland! We were there!

Love the pink-ness at FruitLand!

The first to arrive!
Angelina Et Cetera's Yam something something.
what it was called!

Mine was Rainbow something something. Lurrrvveeee it! :)

The BF ordered Corn something something. It was very good!

That night (24th), my buddies, Jeff and Tina invited me for a celebration at Secret Recipe. Jeff belanja! ;) I tagged Angelina Et Cetera along (can't go anywhere without her!)

The cakes! Nyummy!
I realized the calories in these cakes but itsokay kan coz it's my birthday..
*wink to Kadazanbonita!*

Tina and I enjoying our cakes!

Tina and Angel.

Jeff and I.
I just knew he was born in 1987 after he added me up on Twitter!
Haha.. Agik biak ko, Jeff.. ;p

The "tangga" photo taken by Secret Recipe's staff.

To be fair to the others, we sat down and took this picture.
*wink*

So, that's the story of my wonderful 24th birthday celebration =)

Thanks everyone for the wonderful birthday celebration!
Love u all!
Muah! Muah! Muah!!!
Also thanks for all the birthday wishes through sms, Fb, Twitter and calls.
One of my classmate actually called me and sang a birthday song to me!
Thanks a lot Aween! =)

Ok, I'm done with blogging. Will blog about awards after this and wait up to know 25 things about me. In BM! Another final exam this Sat, so wish me luck! And I'll be off to enjoy the weekend again. Gonna meet up with Kadazanbonita and Gallivanter for sing sing session! Yahuuuuu~~~~~

As promised, this entry will be in Bahasa Malaysia. For those who needs assistance, do contact me or use Google Translator and have fun translating this! ;p

Terima kasih kepada Stella kerana men'tag' saya. Saya berasa sungguh terharu kerana kamu ingin mengenali saya dengan lebih mendalam! Wah! Hehe! Baiklah, biar saya mulakan...

Fakta:
1. Saya berbangsa Kenyah campur Cina Hokkien tetapi saya tidak pandai bertutur dalam bahasa saya sendiri kerana saya dibesarkan dengan menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa pengantara. Saya berasa sungguh rugi kerana tidak pandai bertutur dalam bahasa sendiri. Tetapi tidak mengapa kerana saya sudah pandai sikit-sikit. Heh!

2. Saya pernah terlibat dalam tragedi perahu karam! Ketika itu, kami sekeluarga dalam perjalanan pulang ke kampung. Entah silap di mana, bapa sa ter'gostan' bot kami. Lalu kami pun karam. Masa itu saya berumur dalam 10 atau 11 tahun dan tidak pandai berenang. Daripada 7 orang ahli keluarga saya di dalam bot itu, hanya bapa saya yang pandai berenang. Nasib baik kami semua selamat. Orang-orang kampung datang terjun dalam sungai selamatkan kami. Syukur...

Saya tak pandai berenang sebab saya duduk dalam bot sahaja.
Haha..

3. Saya hanya lulus bersyarat ketika di Kolej Matrikulasi Labuan. Haha! Saya menghabiskan masa setahun untuk bersiar-siar dan dating sahaja. Tambahan lagi, saya memang lembapsss matapelajaran Sains.

Rakan sebilik saya. Mereka semua berjaya. Hehe!

4. Emak saya serta rakan-rakannya telah memohon untuk saya dimasukkan ke universiti selepas tamat pengajian di matrikulasi. Mereka semua memilih TESL. Saya dapat surat dan pergi. Nasib baik saya "akan" berjaya tidak lama lagi. Syukur...

Ijazah pertama
*saya di kiri sekali*

5. Saya tidak sepintar kakak sulung saya. Dia pergi ke sekolah sesuka hati dan menonton kartun di rumah tetapi dia mendapat A untuk matapelajaran Sains dia - Kimia, Fizik, Biologi, Matematik Tambahan - dan saya mendapat A untuk Pengetahuan Moral, Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Inggeris, Matematik dan Ekonomi Asas. Yang lain semua suam-suam suku. Cukup-cukup makan. Haha!

Bersama kakak sulung saya yang pandai belajar

6. Saya berjalan kaki ke sekolah semasa di sekolah menengah. Ibu bapa saya tidak menghantar saya ke sekolah. Kesian kan, saya. Tetapi tidak mengapa. Kerana rumah saya di dalam kawasan sekolah. Haha! Saya dibesarkan di dalam kawasan sekolah. Sebab itulah saya akan menjadi seorang cikgu!

Berek guru tempat tinggal saya sejak kecil.

7. Saya tidak pernah bermimpi untuk menjadi seorang cikgu sebab saya tidak suka melihat emak saya menghabiskan masa di sekolah bersama murid-muridnya sahaja. Saya bercita-cita tinggi ingin menjadi seorang pramugari. Tetapi apa boleh buat, nampaknya saya akan menjadi seorang cikgu. Tidak mengapa, saya akan selalu ponteng aktiviti sekolah. Boleh kah? Haha!!

Kenangan ketika mengadakan latihan praktikum di Malacca High School (sekolah budak lelaki!)

8. Saya belajar memandu kereta sejak berumur 14 tahun. Sebab itu saya bayar kelas memandu murah sebab instruktor saya tidak perlu mengajar saya. Dia hanya duduk diam tengok saya memandu. Nama dia Tan. Dia sangat glamer di Marudi. Pergi lah cari dia. Hehee!

9. Saya sangat suka melancong. Pengalaman pertama saya adalah melancong ke Filipin, Hatyai dan Bali. Saya berhasrat untuk pergi melancong lagi tahun hadapan. Harap-harap ada durian yang runtuh berjuta-juta epal!

10. Saya sangat sensitif. Saya kerap kali menangis kalau berasa terharu, contohnya melihat kemenangan seseorang atau kekalahan seseorang. Saya pernah menangis ketika melihat Khai dan Rosma (AF1) tersingkir dari Akademi Fantasia kerana saya sangat meminati mereka pada masa itu. Saya juga menangis ketika melihat Stacy menang AF. LMAO!

Wah! Baru 10! Ada 15 lagi!

11. Saya tidak pernah dibedah di mana-mana bahagian badan. Pendek kata, saya tak pernah masuk hospital. Keluar masuk sahaja.

12. Saya seorang yang peramah. Saya boleh bercakap dengan sesiapa sahaja kecuali jikalau saya memilih untuk tidak bercakap.

13. Saya pernah dikejar lelaki mabuk ketika berjalan-jalan pulang ke kampus bersama rakan-rakan saya di matriks lepas makan-makan di PitStop (kedai di simpang KML). Kami dibawa ke balai polis selepas itu untuk membuat keterangan kerana orang mabuk itu mengugut untuk membunuh kami. Sungguh takut masa itu. Tapi sekarang boleh ketawa-ketawa. *ahli keluarga saya tidak tahu tentang ini*

14. Saya pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan ketika di tahun pertama di universiti. Kawan saya yang memandu kereta kami melanggar kereta kawan kami seorang lagi yang sedang menunggu kami di tepi jalan di depan balai polis. Seolah-olah menghantar kami ke balai polis! Angelina Et Cetera turut berada di dalam kereta pada masa itu! Masihkah kamu ingat detik-detik saya cemas? Sempat lagi makan keropok! Haha! *ahli keluarga saya tidak tahu tentang ini*

15. Saya seorang yang "clumsy". Saya selalu tersadung ketika berjalan. Pernah sekali ibu jari kaki saya berdarah kerana terkoyak. Nasib baik ada handyplast. Kawan-kawan saya pucat. Kesian.

16. Saya pernah bercita-cita ingin menjadi doktor. Saya adalah ahli PBSM yang sangat setia, dari sekolah rendah sehingga ke sekolah menengah. Tetapi malangnya saya terlalu pintar lalu disingkir dari sekolah doktor.

17. Saman pertama saya adalah pada tahun pertama mendapat lesen memandu. Saya menunggang motosikal tanpa pelekat P. Ketika disuruh berhenti oleh pihak polis, saya nerves lalu memandu menuju kawasan belukar dan terjatuh sedikit. Hahaha!! Saya sedang ketawa sekarang ketika menaip tentang ini! Sungguh memalukan! Tetapi selepas itu, saya pulang ke rumah dan menangis. Saya tidak tahu kenapa saya menangis kerana mendapat saman RM50 itu. Mungkin kerana saya risau tidak dapat bayar. Bapa saya kata "it's okay". Dia pergi bayar.

18. Saya gemar bermain alat-alat musik. Antara kegemaran saya adalah gitar, drum dan keyboard. Walau bagaimanapun, saya tidak lah terrer sebab saya tidak pernah menghadiri kelas musik secara formal. Saya juga tidak pandai membaca taugeh-taugeh (notes). Saya bermain mengikut pendengaran dan belajar dengan melihat. Pertama bermain gitar ketika berumur 13 tahun.

Hobi di masa lapang - menghiburkan orang lain.

19. Saya sangat pembersih. Saya geli melihat pengotor. Entah kenapa. Tapi saya boleh "tolerate". Jangan risau. Walaupun saya sibuk tahap dewa, tetapi kalau saya tengok rumah tidak bersih terutamanya dapur, saya akan membersih. Wah! Tentu teman lelaki saya gembira mendapat seorang gadis seperti saya.

20. Saya aktif bersukan. Antara permainan yang saya main adalah bola tampar, badminton, futsal, ping pong, bola keranjang, boling, dan banyak lagi.

Futsal ketika di universiti

Tabiat:
21. Saya tidak memakai cermin mata walaupun saya sedar saya rabun. Itu adalah kelebihan untuk saya ketika berdepan dengan orang ramai kerana saya tidak nampak muka-muka mereka, maka saya tidak nerves!

Saya rasa tidak sesuai sama sekali. Heh!

22. Saya sangat "happy-go-lucky". Kalau ada pembentangan di dalam kelas, saya hanya akan membentang untuk 5 minit daripada 10 minit yang diberikan. Bak kata pepatah orang putih, "straight to the point". Tak guna berbelit-belit macam belut.

Pembentangan terakhir di dalam kelas

23. Saya tidur dengan bantal yang nipis dan lembut dan kadang-kadang tidak berbantal. Saya juga mesti ada selimut untuk tidur. Kalau tidak, saya tidak senang tidur.

24. Saya suka berkecimpung dalam aktiviti-aktiviti "human rights". Besar kemungkinan akan berkecimpung dalam bidang ini selepas tamat pengajian sementara menunggu untuk posting.

Melawat kanak-kanak di "refugees center" pada tahun 2007.

25. Saya sepatutnya belajar untuk peperiksaan yang akan datang dan menyiapkan Academic Exercise saya tetapi saya menghabiskan masa "blogging" sepanjang hari ini.

Hah! Habis pun akhirnya! :) Harap-harap anda semua gembira dapat mengenali saya dengan lebih mendalam. Beberapa perkara yang tidak diketahui oleh ibubapa saya, tolong diam-diam ok! Hahaa...

Baiklah. Saya akan men"tag" kamu yang membaca post ini sekarang. :)
Silakan menerima "award" ini dan "inform" saya sekiranya kamu sudah menjawab supaya saya dapat membaca blog kamu dan mengenali kamu dengan lebih baik. Ok?

Sekarang saya mau modop. -_-
