june 07 to june 08

i have wanted to post up something in my blog ever since the last post dated in June '07.

my weakness is that i sometimes procrastinate things, and that is why..
i am only dropping a few lines today..on 28th June..after a year since the previous post;p

within a year:-
the major change is my status - from single to married
i am legally married on 11th November..with the blessing from our family and friends with us

work life - i am thankful that i have a demanding boss~ for me push myself to go beyond my limits and where my EQ is being challenged;
I am lucky that i had a team of helpful and nice teammates ~ given me guidance when i was a freshie in supply chain management, given me moral supports tru all the bitching session
my consistant email buddy - the daily emails/ sms from jessica ~ a channel for my to vent my pressure and sharing of my problems, regardless if it is work related or personal

travelling - 'went back' to bangkok:) brought my dear there this time, and it was our first oversea trip together. visited hui woon, and met up with my lovely thai friends.
jessica came over to join us..i miss the cycling in Ayutthaya and the 2008 New Year countdown at the river bank of menam chao phraya!
it is still the place that i wish to go over and over again..I am still in love with thailand:)

eating & shopping spree in Taiwan..
went there with friends, had reunion with my taiwanese and japanese friends as well..
were hunting for famous food in the night markets..shopping for clothes and bags..
tried my first ever natural hot spring spa..it was marvellous!

time flies, half a year has passed just like that..not sure when will be my next post..just hope that i can be more consistent:)

The Bearie Happening Gathering

The great weekend (02-03 June) is brought to me by the bears!

I have manage to convince my dear to drive me to KL since he was looking for this Nintendo DS Lite:) He has found in some local forums that the price for the NDS Lite is more competive in KL...and woohoo...we came to KL so that he can get his NDS and i can meet up with the bears!

On Saturday morning

1) Bak Kut Teh brunch in Klang

Thanks to the eldest bear~Alan for recommending this place to us since a few years ago:)

The first surprise that i got is~~ Jessica came all the way from Miri...she came earlier as she will be having a business trip in Petronas HQ on Monday. She emailed me and reassure me that she is not coming this weekend but she turned up!! Thanks dear

It is a decent brunch session where we have some of the bears: alan, cheesheng, hui woon, jess and i...also we do have some non bears joining~ flo, geralynn, my dear yee wei and joon wan. we were updating each others, also a little bit of gossiping of those bears that were present;p

2) After the fullfilling meal, we went for NDS Lite hunting in Sungei Wang..

that was the time for yee wei..we spent 3 hours, checking out the prices in most of the shops..comparing the prices and of course we go for the cheapest...so mission accomplished! he has found what he wants.

3) Korean Dinner ~ We had dinner at Mid valley. the food is not really up to our expectations but it's acceptable;p since we have alan and jessica have been to korea, of course we will get some comments on the food from them;p even for myself, i still think the one in JB is better;p Anyway, i tried the weird wasabi ice cream..it taste vanilla when i first put it into my mouth but later..the light wasabi taste revealed.

4) We had the good time hanging out with hui woon at Asia Cafe for drinks..it reminds me so much of the uncountable mamaking sessions that we bears had during out Uni time...my goodness..all the funny jokes, heart to heart chats, gossiping and animal talks over mamak sessions...

On Sunday, we have more bears for the gathering @ The curve!

1) KTV session ~ the bears gave me a great surprise where they have arrange the waiter to cut the song that we were singing, changed it to birthday song while the birthday cake is served...i am really touched...i was speechless at thta moment but just feel like hugging the bears..thanks bears~ hui woon, alan, jess, own chai, ngiam the moose and kok hin

2) Ikea ~ shopping with hui woon, jess and own chai..it's always fun to shop with them as we have so much ideas and comments..regardless if its a piece of clothes, books or even furniture:)

3) Shrek3 ~ all of us understand why is ngiam not joining us for Shrek 3 when the Donkey appeared on the screen!

4) TGI Fridays dinner~ those bears sabo me!!! Dont know which evil bear told the waiter that it is my birthday....ok, it wasn't that day, is the day after....but when the waitress came with a slice of cake and i was requested to stand on the chair..i know i am being sabo! ok..demi the bears...

Again..i would like to thank all the bears...for bringing me such a great, fun and crazy weekend..

Miss you bears a lot:)

convo weekend

I was suppose to blog this down since in beginning of april. However, as usual, with “busy with work” as an excuse..i kept delaying it.
I enjoyed myself during that convo weekend of mine. Its not really because of the convo, more it’s in fact for the friends that I met up!
It was a hectic weekend, meeting up and catching up with friends are exciting. Managed to catch up with hui woon, yiying and wan xiang..
Also the Bridge game at night where Siva and Wei Ling came over! I am kind of addicted to it, just that don’t have kaki to play here..sigh..
So everytime when there is gathering of sunnybears..i will not miss the chance to at least play a few rounds!

I had an exciting day because of all the surprises and effort that my friends made:-
~ own chai suddenly appear when I was queuing up beside the hall, it really surprise me as he kept saying he is not coming and get wei ling to convince me the night before by giving me a gift
~ AIESEC juniors roll call, banner and flowers! I have the chance to witness the LC announce the new elected directors! Wow! Hot-to-go ya!
~ Cecilia came all the way from Singapore.. brought me a cute doggie soft toy, the jeans that I bought in Oct in Singapore, my favourite pandan bread, and two booksJ
~ Yi Ying, Wan Xiang and Ethan also came with flowersJ
~ Hui Woon and Jinn Kae also came with flowers…In fact, I have never received so much flowers in one day!
~ Ngiam, Chantal and Siva came, as anticipated I was thrown up to the air after ngiam’s arrival!
~ CK came at last while we were taking pictures at pintu gerbang

Even though it was rushing, and actually not much time to really chat with my friends, but I am really touched that they came purposely for me!
Girls, guys, thanks again for all your support and love!

life back home

life back home is good in its own way...

home cooked food~ this is one of the best thing for me as i have been away from home for 6 years..

parents~ it is comfortable when i know there are people who is waiting for me at home for dinner...

boyfriend~ my closest companion now...whom i can share my feelings and emotion...go out for movies, hunting for food and shopping...

sports ~ go jogging in the morning with my papa, go for Yoga class, go for hiking...

think i am quite satisfy with my current life, a more balance and healthier life:)

car accident:(

on 25 Jan morning, on my way to work..when i turned out from the backlane at my bf house...i didn't notice the motorbike coming fast from my left..and yeah.."bang"...the motorbike hit my car (actually not sure if it's the motorbike that hit my car or i hit the motorbike)
anyway, according to the police, that's my fault;p what ever it is, thanks God that the motorcylists are ok, just minor scratches...
so my baby car is in the workshop now...sigh..for 2 weeks, i have no car to use..so my bf have to be my chauffeur...hahah;p in fact, i like to have him to fetch me to work everyday;p

Distance

the cruellest distance isn't measured by miles..
it measured by separated minds and souls..

Reintegration

This is my 5th day after leaving JB and coming home for my new job. Have been in Jb for 6 years, study+ working...somehow it's weird when i know i am coming home for good. Normally i feel excited to be home because i came back home for semester break or holiday...and now, i will be settling down here..not for holiday anymore..
I will say it's not easy to make the final decision to come back home as i have got used to the freedom that i have when i am in JB, less commitment and responsibility;p

I am feeling the misture of excitement and worry. The excitement because i have been missing my parents and my dear so badly, especially for the past 3 months...the worry comes when I need to reintegrate back to the lifestyle here in Kulim....

However, i have no regrets (so far) for my decision as everything is kind of smooth and going the way i forseen:) (except the way the drivers drive here!! damn slow but drive at the fast lane..Bodoh!!)

The new job is good, not that i want to compare to my previous job...but i will say the current job is more focused (not as 'ta chap' as the admin position that i was handling...have to do everything that suddenly thrown to you..eventho it's not within your job scope)..
I am a buyer/planner for my new job. currently having training from my mentor, the buyer lead..focus only on buyer role now..

Besides the integration back home..I am missing my friends in JB...heard that it has been raining continuously due to monsoon...and many places in Johor is flooded...sigh..even the highway..Hope Mr. Sun will come back from holiday soon..to take over the role of Mr. Rain...eventhough they are equally important(as what Ming Eng said)!! Hope i can see the shinny JB on 31st Dec. All the best to my dearesy friends in JB and see you soon...
