Birthdays Recap Part 1 - Benny

Celebrated his birthday in JB.

Place of accomodation: Mutiara Hotel, JB

Places we visted: Danga Bay, Danga City Mall, Holiday Plaza

Memorable moment(s):

Firstly...Simba the tiger.



It's the first time in my life that I touched a tiger, and the reason why I wanted to go JB to celebrate his bd.
This tiger can be found in the petting zoo at Danga Bay.

Entrance fee is only $4, very cheap!

The last time i went, Simba was only 1 year old.
Wanted to take a pic with him, but my family din allow me to.
Now he is 2 years old, and huge!
When the time came for photo-taking with the Simba, the trainer was asking who wants to go first.
Benny volunteered, and then we were urshered to the front.
We bickered a bit over him wanting to go first..y not let other people go first right in case anything happens,right? ...luckily nothing happened.








Seeing a tiger cub playing in his cage. You can just stretch ur hand in..if you dare.






A another slightly older cub..this one look more bored bcos no toys inside




Seeing such a big arse.



The moment we saw this ostrich, it shited one giant waterfall! We were dumbfounded haha.


Running backwards from scene of the crime

Most shocking moment:

At Danga City Mall...




This mall has no people..So sad that such a thing can happen.
Dun know why because the mall is big and spacious..
One of the reasons my bro mentioned is because it's wholly owned and managed by malays. Not sure if that is true? He cited other mall examples such as Holiday Plaza(managed by chinese) and City Square (managed by Singaporean) which have more crowds.
They should have built a cinema or a ktv place..at least it helps draw the crowds.
But I am hoping it will have more business in the upcoming year! =)

And finally, our first neoprint tada!~

1st MC of the year

I have been complaining to anyone who would hear that my stomach is not feeling well since last week. Last sat me and my bf nearly cancelled on watching a movie too bcos I kept complaining that my stomach pain and breaking out in cold sweat while walking. He wanted me to go back and rest while I told him we would be sitting in the cinema so I could at least get some rest.

I have been taking pain killers but on the way to work this morning it started to worsen and I finally couldn't take it anymore. Only after seeing a docter today that I found out its supposed to be gastric pains...

Ahhhh (realization)...

Anyway, I really feel very bad abt the entire thing bcos as soon as I told my bf tat I din go to work today, he immediately took urgent leave to accompany me. But he assured me that I was his priority (hahaha) and if there were any regrets, it would be tat I din tell him earlier so that he din have to go to work at all. (hahahaha)
But then..very touched la. Sometimes I wonder at my luck.

Feeling vindicated now. And relief that I could get some rest but then it wasnt very much restful either since after taking the med my stomach still feels quite painful. So din get to sleep as much as I want. Too bad.

Doc gave me some med that I am supposed to take for an entire week. Even now that I am typing this I feel a dull ache in my body. Hopefully it will go away soon. More regular meals and enough rest shd do it!

Cats Musical - Memory

Memory

Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun

Passion of Spring

A love poem someone wrote me sometime ago..hehehe
It's quite easy to guess who the person is hor... =)


New Year brings us lots of surprises
Which in turn makes our morale rises

The turn of the seasons to that of spring
Along with the passion that it will bring

Gone are the long hard days of winter
Where everything else seems to wither

Though the days are still long
I hope our love will remain strong

May our passion spread far and wide
And relieve everyone through this economic tide

*oh ya, with regards to the last sentence of the poem, he wrote it during the economic crisis..ahahah*

Short trip to Malacca

Date: 13-15th Nov 2009 (Fri-Sun)

Comrades..<Almost a love story>: Mum, sis and bf

Places visited: Jonker Street for the night market and entertainment, Portuguese Settlement for seafood, Makko Nonya which is a recommended eating place for Peranakan food. Plus the shopping centres of course.

Place of accomodation: Mahkota Hotel Melaka

Most memorable moment:

It was when I went down to Jonker Street and saw this lady setting up a stall writing calligraphy.

All you need to do is just to indicate your chinese name and she will write a poem using the whole name in it.

The amazing thing was she was physically handicapped..not many people can do that even if they have all their limbs intact. Really admired her spirit, so I bought a poem from her as well to give to Benny.

By the time we went round to doing that, she had alry finished packing up a stall and was abt to go off. She was asking if we can come back tomlo nite, but I told her we were from Spore and would be going back tomlo morning bfore she relented. We gave her our names and she immediately set it down to paper in a minute! Tat's terribly fast...plus her handwriting is still better than mine.

The poem is very chim...

Drawbacks:

Bringing my niece along. Rest and relax is not to be when there is a toddler in tow. Morever, it was rainy season. Try pushing a baby stroller along the uneven roads amidst the heavy traffic and big puddles of water lurking around. In the end I came back from the trip as tired as ever...

New Year Resolutions 2010

Happy New Year everyone.

I am gripped with panice that a decade just passed by like that...isn't it just recently that my cousin Terence and I were moaning abt being in the last year of our teens? We were 19 then...

And then *pooh*, I dun have much left of my late twenties too.

2009, you left too fast. I din have a chance to say a loving good-bye.
I was weary and sleepy in the last few minutes.. and as the last few seconds ticked by that you were going away forever, I realized I really wanted you to stay. .Din think I utilize you to the max..now that there is regrets it's all too late. =(

Ok, New Year Resolutions are meant to be broken, but I am going to list them down anyway Just In Case.

1) Curb my temper. CURB MY TEMPER.

2) Think twice before buying any stuff that I don't need other that the fact it's cheap. Hold back!

3) Buy a classy dress once a month that I can go on dates with, instead buying mostly casual wear on bargains. 12 mths = 12 nice dresses

4) Eat at food courts more often, limit to restaurant spending once a week. (He suggests twice a mth instead)

5) Cut back on soft drinks, 1 cup every two weeks.

6) Apply moisturiser religiously. Have never finished up any of my skincare products for years and years, they are just there to rot because I am simply too lazy to slather it on. In the past I will apply moisturizer like once a mth, wasted. Now that I am getting OLD, I need to get started on a skincare regime!

7) Use a mask once a week. Same as above, all my masks even the expensive ones are rotting. I din even use finish the pack of ginseng masks I bought from Korea 5 years ago, plus all the other skincare items from Korea and they cost a BOMB. Neh neh...my heart very pain ok. That's why I am still keeping everything but at the same time I don't dare to use in case my face rots.

8) Spruce up my dressing style, hopefully! Put to use the nice outfits I bought and never wear out of laziness..Ever since I entered into a relationship, my dressing style has been going down the drain. Relationship complacency...not good! But then when I dress up, he complains that he has to dress up too..so how?

9) Workout more, healthy living! If I have no time, 20mins is better than nothing at all...

10) Eat more veggies since I have problems with digestion. Shall start by cultivating a love for kimchi, as it's supposed to be a very healthy food that aids digestion. Oh, and drink more Yakult/Vitagen regularly(also for digestion purposes)

11) Forgive and forget those who betrayed me, let me down and took advantage of my kindness instead of wishing them a place in hell. Quite hard though.

12) Find meaning in life. That's always a question that I pondered over without any fixed answers. That includes rethinking abt my current job. Since work takes up a huge chunk of my life, ultimately I want to do something that satisfies me emotionally and mentally and not think back that I wasted my time and life on.

13) Stop obsessing about death.

14) Stop and smell the roses along the path.

15) Update my blog more regularly. Show more commitment!

Xmas Eve Party in office

Had a fun and jolly time. =)
