Journey to the Peak

SuperJunior's Fans Tour to malacca =D

2011-11-24T07:56:00.002+08:00

This is an old event. We went to Malacca on the 5th of Nov. It is a pre-celebration birthday for Siewying and a post-celebration birthday for Jiayi. It is Jiayi's idea to surprise Siewying. She and Meifenn prepared some decoration. Once we got there, we decorate one of the room to surprise Siewying when we brought her back later =D

decorating

the final outcome =D

after the decoration, we head out planning to grab something to eat cause we are about to die of hunger. But the Singapore fans group is reaching so we detour and pick them 1st before heading to jonker street. We had our chicken rice at jonker street since the famous one finished.

chicken ball rice

After the satisfying late lunch, we proceed for desert, durian cendol. I am not a fan so we sat and chit chat a lil in the "sam su kung". By the time we walk out from the store, it is drizzling. We caught this cafe by fate and went in as it is drizzling to enjoy the drink and relax. I blogged about this cafe is previous blog =D This cafe really got feel lar. hahaha..

It is pretty much a day. We took turn to take bath and initially we were suppose to have pajamas party. But i am seriously too tired that i slept right after i finished. I can still hear superjunior song for awhile before i doze off to my dreamland =D
The next morning we wake up a lil late and we head to Jonker again to have "Pak Ki". It is said to be something similar to Bak Kut Teh but it is not Bak Kut Teh and it is nice. Well, it doesn taste bad. and pretty special too. Too bad they running out of chili padi which i think is the main thingy to go along with dishes =)

it is called "Pak Ki"

after the brunch, we wanted to go for the thousand layer cake, but the queue is too long, we forgo and have a short shopping trip in makhota and pahlawan before i send them off to the bus stop. That is the end of the trip. Sound short but fun and memorable =D

my working environment

2011-11-22T07:29:00.001+08:00

At the beginning i always have the impression that i would never find any true friend here and i would never find someone i can really talk to. Well, watch too many TVB series. In most series, colleague are the bad one that will frame you and get u fired. Well, there is always a saying, where there is lady, there'll be gossip. I try to be as low key as i can in the office. Not sharing most of my stuff to them and ETC. I think it took me about a year working there to open up. I seriously have limited friend in the office. Dun believe me? hahaha.. This post is going to be an introductory of my working life and my colleagues that i think i can treat them as my friends after work =D

me and casey

She is the 1st person i make friend with when i am in Roche. She is from the department upstair and i am from the 2nd floor. I brought lunch to work at the beginnng having impression people might didn wanna go out lunch with me or mayb it was just an excuse so i can go on diet =D this lady did not go out for lunch either. So we met in the pantry. I think she was new too. I join in July and she join in May. But she look super friendly and easily getting along with everyone. Soon enough, we end up having lunch together almost everyday without fail in the pantry =) We are still close to each other but not as close as she is now transfer to other job scope and she is super bz but she is happier at least doing something nearer to what she wanted to do

from left: vicky, me, panzzy and bay

Due to some project arrangement, i am introduce to bay which is in the same department as me but she is working downstair. We are assigned to collaborate in solving an issue in the system. From there, we are friend. Then we start sharing. Well, she gave me good opinion. Trying to say thing in a nicer way so that it would not hurt my feeling and she wan me to know because she know with changes, it will bring better to my life. Well, that are what real friends are for. Well, due to bay, i am close with vicky too. she is bay's best friend. and vicky is a really nice lady too. Having a great heart to help everyone =D and as for panzzy, i think i started to get close to her during our company trip this year =D Well, coincidently, she is in the same department with casey and vicky and they are pretty close with each other =D

from left: andrea, cass and me

I always believe it is not easy to make friends with colleagues in the same department. Well, there is always a conflict of interest. But due to some fated incident, 3 of us got really close together. We didn kinda hang out but we communicate and we shared =D I wouldn wanna introduce much because it is not easy to ellaborate how things got along between us because it is a long long story. hahaha. but it is all started when andrea tender her resignation letter and later on she stay behind because of us? hahaha. We did things i nvr expect i would do in the beginning. We kinda start having our own mini fashion show every fri with diff theme. We have karaoke session. Well, why i would say i nvr expect to hav this kinda of friendship with them. In the beginning when i join, i feel that this finance department that i join into is pretty lifeless. No one organise anything and no one celebrated each other bday. It is merely like, u do ur work and i do mine and it is like we are just colleague and no we cant be friend kinda thingy. Until this year i guess. things change and i like the new changes =D

me and bryan

This is my boss's boss. At the very beginning, i am super afraid of him wei. Didn know why but i am just afraid. But things got better now since the fated incident i mention above. He join our crowd too. Well, i didn know we started but he is sporting enough to join us eventhough we are all women and he was the only guy. He is cool enough to join our k session, our outing and we even whatapps with him. So much for the predictable. He say i am predictable. sigh. No one say that about me before man. No one. And he is the 1st person that say that about me. People normally say i am mischievious and they say they cant seem to understand what i am thinking. hmm, we share the same frequency channel? hahaha.

me and wendy

last but not least my mummy in roche. Her husband shared the same surname as i do. Well, she is a really nice lady. In the beginning she will give you a scary impression but she is actually the nicest person =D She will give me good advice and i think she is a saviour to me too. I can sense that she really care for me. How and why, i dont think i should blogged about it but she is helping me a lot in another way. She is like my communication channel toward bosses.

Am truly bless to have them as my colleague. Well, people say every phases/chapter of ur life will have different group of friends and saviour and in this current chapter, i believe they are mine =D

November babies birthday celebration

2011-11-21T07:41:00.000+08:00

November came and in less than 10days December is going to visit. I kinda make an effort to try to organise a birthday celebration for my colleague. This mth is going to be Wendy and Cassandra's birthday celebration. Well, as i am the planner, i think of the place that we are suppose to have the dinner. This round i brought them to Seri Kembangan. I didn realise i didn know the name of the restaurant until they ask me and i have been visiting this restaurant for ages. If you were to ask me now again, i will still say i cant remember. Hahaha. Anyway, as it is a special day, i asked them to dress in a flowery code (It was Andrea's idea). We even pester our "big boss", Bryan to wear them and luckily he is sporting enough to wear a not too flowery but near to flowery attire to join us =D (Well, I am sure there are people are going to be mad at me as they spread the news that Grace is the one that fix the dress code. Reason why they will angry i will blog the next round, but the hint: my boss hav huge fans in the office =D)
Anyway, Finance Department always seem to be the last department to leave the office. It is a friday night and we left office sharp at 530pm including my boss. (We are too used to having the habit of leaving the office super late). All of us hopped into Wendy's car. (sorry to ask birthday girl to drive us around but her car cant fit everyone in and in Seri Kembangan, i seriously didn know how to direct them if i lost them when tailing each other vehicle) Due to the traffic condition,, we reach the dinner venue around 7pm.
We went to the following:

Fook Hin Bak Kut Teh Restaurant
15, Jalan Aman
Seri Kembangan
43300 Selangor

November Babies

Erm, i forgot to take the picture of the food we have. But we had a number of dishes. And of course we cannot finish chatting during the dinner. It is a really fun night =D Recalling the memory making me laugh when i sitting alone. Even on the way home, i joke with them that people will think that i am crazy cause i will be laughing myself while i am driving =D I am glad we have improvement. I am happy, am a happy child tonight and i guess everyone is happy too

i visited my grandma after not seeing her for awhile. I know bz is not an excuse, i just didn have enough will power to make it happen to visit her frequently and it is obviously my bad. Well, since it has already happen, i could not do anything to rewind the time and redo. will try to make up in the future.

Granny like angry at me today. she was sleeping when i reach. i sat down quietly beside her and hold her hand. looking at her make me have a sourish feeling. watching her sleep making me imagining that she watch me before when i am young. I must have wake her up when i hold her hand. she slowly open her eye and look at me, taking her time to think who am i, i guess. then she make noise and hold my hand tighter. i know she must have been scolding me about not visiting her. i look at her and then start updating her things that i have not been telling her. about my work, my love, my study and my life. after finishing i went and take the diary my uncles kept on her daily diet and activities. i wanna be a part of her life too. i know she wanted to tell me lots thing but she cant tell me now. i read the diary to know what she is doing last 2 mths. i realise i miss a lot. i didn know she missing one teeth where she might have eaten it. i didn know she bitten her tongue twice in the 2 mths me not visiting and i didn know she is having backsore. right then, i feel i am seriously a really bad grandchild. without realising my tear drop. granny is looking at me and she make noise like she know that book talk about her and i am reading it and it make me sad. she hold my hand and squeeze them as if she is telling dun cry and things will be fine. Granny has always been a really tough women. she hardly cry no matter what happen. Mum say she did not shed tears when my grandpa pass away too.
i really miss her. i stay for awhile more and i went home. While driving home, memories flashing in my mind. I really miss the lady sleeping beside me. I really miss her. I somehow really angry why is god doing this to her. I know she is suffering and she could not do anything at all. Sometime it make me sad that her tongue bleed cause it make me wonder if she is trying to commit suicide. That is what paralyse patient did rite? Why does she have to endure this? I love my granny too much to be strong enough to watch all this.. it really tearing me apart. it really did...

A visit to Calanthe Art Cafe

2011-11-07T13:09:00.000+08:00

I have not been on a road trip with this "special fated" friend beside following Idol event. This should consider the 1st road trip i have with them. We went to Malacca for a 2 days 1 night trip which is good enough for me to runaway from the real life. Malacca is my 2nd hometown since my mum is a malaccan.
Just fate that Pui Yeen found this special cafe and it rain when we were in Jonker. So to keep ourself dry, we went to the cafe. Partial reason is because the cafe is attractive and unique.
This cafe name is Calanthe Art Cafe. It is located exactly near Jonker street. It is pretty easy to be spot. We all love the design and the layout of the cafe. It is unique. Most important is all the design in the cafe is either drawn or re-design using recycle material. The concept make this cafe relaxing. Well, if i were to travel myself and to look for a cool and calm place to rest and read. This would be one of my choice.

The detail of the cafe is as below:
Adress: 11, Jalan Hang Kasturi,
75250 Melaka
Contact: 606-2922960

this is how the cafe look like from the front

Below is picture showing all the design that mesmerize me..

group photo outside the cafe. Thanks Pui yeen for helping us =D

Please take care

2011-11-07T01:02:00.000+08:00

I have not been posting for a super long time. Did not come through my mind that the 1st thing i post after such a long time is about you. I am worry about him but there arent any channel that i can convey my concern and there is no way that my msg will reach him too. Eventhough i know he didn want this to happen himself and he tried his best to take care of himself despite all the bz schedule but still it happen in the end. Even how much i wanted to see u, i will still wait idol. I would wanna see a healthy you. So pls do take care of urself and make sure u are fully recover. Am sure that all the fans are willing to wait. Just slow down the speed. Dun scheduled ur promo tour too pack. Support you forever idol.
didn know that this photo is going to hurt me a little. This prove how fragile i am. Me and him aren even friend yet i still worry. Take care..

working world

2011-08-01T08:45:00.000+08:00

I have been really busy with my schedule. Abandoning my blog for quite some time. This is the 1st time i did not write immediately after i feeling sad. Last 2 weeks have been a tough one for me. I might be a little silly in this real world. I treat everyone with my heart. I think this is how it should be. But somehow people still dun like you and there is nothing i can do to change how people treating me.
Colleagues and Friends told me that i will become stronger by all the obstacles that i am facing now =) I think i will too. Although there are still needle poking into my heart but i think i can face the world better now. Eventhough there are people that try to wan me leave, i should stay for myself and i should prove to people that i am capable and professional where i can separate my works and personal issue =)
I wanna try to learn how to overcome my own tear. i didn wan my tear to come out when people talk bout me and i know i am not at the wrong. I should learn to be more confident on myself =)
Just praying that my manager will not judge me by others wording but instead pls understand me because i am me..

Birthday with colleague

2011-07-13T19:44:00.000+08:00

Still remember last year today i spend it with my colleague as well. But i got a phone call in the middle of the afternoon that my grandma is admitted to hospital and it is serious. I used to be the little girl that always dream of having a great birthday celebration, will be super sad if people forget about my birthday and will be super emo if people that i wish them to remember forget about my birthday. But as age is catching, i find that it silly. Haha.

I wasn in the mood to celebrate my birthday anymore since my grandma had her bad accident on the exact day. It somehow telling me that grandma pass her luck to me on the day that i was suppose to be lucky and ended up having little luck and she end up at where she is today. I didn wanna talk more. I will get emo =)

Anyway, my dearest colleague bring me out for lunch and we have a great thai dinner. Thanks to them. Well, bay and Vicky has been my lunch date for awhile and i do tell them mostly everything that happen to me. I used to think it is difficult to find friends in the office but thank to them they prove me wrong. Of course there is still one little girl in the office that make me feel special =)

I have spend my birthday lunch with them and i totally enjoyed it. They gave me a surprise as well. They know who they are. I didn wanna said it here so that my reader wouldn know it =) Well, thanks for taking the moodiness away from me. Before the many many wishes. Heart sourish thinking of my grandma actually. Now am, better =)

Btw, we had our lunch in Jaya One, a restaurant name Kinaree i think =)

It's anniversary for both of us..

2011-07-01T07:52:00.001+08:00

Today is my birthday and yes i should be really happy. But somehow today remind me of my grandma. I guess this will be going on forever. Today is the day my grandma admitted to the hospital last year. Just when i wanted to enjoy myself today, i picture my grandma suffering on her bed. Was picturing myself having my colleagues singing birthday song for me and i am cutting cake but reality is my grandma is in the hospital and being rescue by the doctor. As a grandchild, i didn even know something happen to her until my cousin texted me. I still thought he wanted to wish me happy birthday. But instead, he asked if grandma is admitted to the hospital and i called home and mum says she is in the hospital but not sure what happen. At that time, i did not have an idea that she will have stroke. Still remember i drive home thinking that she will be fine until i step into her ward. That is when i know she will never be the same. It is almost like i lost my grandma that night. That day, on my birthday (T.T)
Time really flies. It was like yesterday incident as everything is still so clearly in my mind. When writing, i am picturing her on the bed. Last year's today change most of my family members. And it changes me. I used to really like birthday celebration. I am those that will get sad when people tend to forget my birthday and when no one ask me out for celebration. But this year punya me, didn really arrange for any celebration or probably most of my friend forgot that it is my birthday today that they coorperate and did not ask me out for celebration as the celebration somehow telling me that i celebrate the day i lost my grandma as well.
I am fine. Just emo for awhile. Someone out there will be able to cheer me up, I wish.. I miss u grandma. i miss having u beside my bed and i miss talking to u. The only reason i wanted to have a boyfriend and get married right now is definitely because of u. I want you to see that i will be fine and i will have someone to take care of me that you dun have to worry about me. I really do..

This trip, i rely on them a lot and i have fun with them. Spend lotsa time with them and talk things that i have not tell anyone and things that i do not know about them. Of course i consider myself lucky because i think god is being really nice with me. I have them in my life and you out there reading my blog too =)

This is the house i've stayed for most of my night. Few night are spent at Yen Min's bro house at boxhill, Thanks Yen Min Bro.. this is a great trip to me. To come again? I will, but i must learn more 1st =)

Melbourne Trip: Phillip Island

2011-06-30T18:22:00.000+08:00

After the nightmare Great Ocean Road, am a little worry about my Phillip Island's trip. Worry that i have to go all the way with disappointment. Well, Phillip Island require about 2.3 hours car ride from the city i think. But i still go for it hoping that it will be a great one.

I actually enjoy the Phillip Island tour a lot. Maybe because the road is not so winding and the view is really good. I almost wanna stay there and not coming back. Haha. A bit too much ah.. Along the highway you can hav a large piece of farm with the view of the sea. That sort of view should not able to be capture in Malaysia nor using my camera. Therefore, it is nicely kept in my heart. Tasmania used to be one of the many places i wanted to visit for the beach. Told by my friend that to go Tasmania for vacation, we must go for road trip and the road is worst than Great Ocean Road. So, Tasmania, i think i will see u in the picture =)

the Nobbies

me at the Nobbies

Well, i never thought that Phillip's Island is going to be an island. Well, i know the island is pre-mention in the name of the place but i thought it is just name for the sake of naming? haha. But Phillip's Island is actually an island and beside the penguin, there is actually lots things and places to visit too? But i visited only the Nobbies. This is the area where some lucky tourists get to watch seal. I guess i am the unlucky one. I drop my phone cover and i drop my camera causing it to scar. But i like the view and the wind. It is cold but the wind make me calm and comfortable. I really like it. Too bad there aren any resort build facing this view or at the Nobbie. Loving it =)

Penguin Center

the fairy penguin

After the magnificent view, we head straight to the penguin Center. Well, i wanna make myself clear that the above picture for the fairy penguin is not taken by me. I downloaded somewhere in the internet. We are not suppose to take any picture with the fairy as the flashlight will blind them or scare them something like that. Ok. So we bought our ticket to go into the center. The ticket cost me about AUD20 i think. Around there. Basically we got our ticket then they brought us to the viewing arena. Well, i was suppose to take pictuer of the arena but ah.. i was excited and.. i forget. haha. The arena is pretty. Well, it sorta for us to wait and watch silently for the little fairy penguin when they return from the sea. We were there about 445pm i think and they expect the penguin to come out at about 530pm. Bear in mind that the time for the penguin to come back is not the same for every season. It is advisable to google and research before going as during the summer, penguin come back only about 9pm at night.
I fnd it so touching to see groups of penguins walking to the bushes back to their homesweethome, either to their kids or even their spouse. It is a very warm scene for me. If i am a photography, i would wanna capture the moment when the wave washed the sand and when the water return to the sea, one by one the little penguin appearing on the beach. That moment seriously capture my heart and i am falling for the fairy penguin =)
Show doesn just end here. Well, along the road where we head back to the center, we actually able to see the fairy penguin walking back to their house. See them hugging with their own family or fren after a rough day and long day out at the sea and most important is, they come back alive. That touched my heart more. Haha..
I stay awhile there enjoying the feeling and the scenery before heading home. I like this tour and i think it worth the money to offer such an opportunity to look at them upclose and to have someone telling us stories about them =)

Melbourne Trip: Mount Buller

2011-06-30T08:32:00.000+08:00

Date: 17.06.2011
Visited Place: Mount Buller

Skiing is one of the to do things in my "things to be done before Chyeli turn 30" list. I have been longing for this trip for a very long time. I can say that this activity is the highlight of my trip as it is something new to me =)
There is once i always think that when a country have winter, there will be snow at the country. Just incase someone of there have my old thinking, Australia isn a country that will snow during the winter =) So in order to do the skiing, we will have to go to top of a mountain as there is the place that will snow. So off we go to one of the skiing resort in Australia, Mount Buller. Friend say i was lucky. Sun is out when i need Mr. Sun and Rain visit when i go ski. It is a good thing to rain you know why? Because raining in the top of the mountain mean snowing and the more it rain, the thicker the snow and you will enjoy the ski. Well, according to friend, I am lucky and guess I should admit it =)
As it is dangerous to drive up to the icy mountain and it will require you to spike your car tire to avoid skidding. Therefore, we took a bus tour to Mount Buller. Again we subscribe EverGreen tour agency. (well, i know after the bad experience with the tour guide to GOR, why do i still go with this tour agency) This is because we bought this earlier than GOR. But then, i am not going to complain about this tour guide as she is great. Bi-language and helpful =) Most important is she did not ask for "compulsory" tip like the GOR tour guide do =(

the main entrance of the ski resort

The bus stop in the middle of the mountain to spike the tire. This is my first time seeing. I always curious how the tire can take the torn. I get the chance to see how people spike their tire too. Apparently it is like a stop and when the snow got thicker, all vehicles that are heading to the top are required to spike their tires. The thing that they use when they spike their tire is like fish net. But this net is made of metal and it has small small torn on the net. It was pretty amazing. I didn manage to capture a picture. As it is snowing, the bus window if fogging. The picture didn turn out to be really nice. Along the way, it is all while and i really like the scenery. I almost regret did not sign up for the overnight package. It would be pretty awesome if i get to spend a night there. Well, at least it can give me a pre-warning sign before going to Alaska? haha.. It is good to have dream. Am I right?

after skiing

i really love the feeling that i am surrounded by whitty snow

the tour guide and me

at the white garden

Well, i did not take any picture with the equipments. When we got there, it was pretty pack as our lesson start at 11am and we are still in the changing room. So there is where we got our helmet, ski equipments and everything. And it is pretty troublesome to have my camera with me. So i didn not use my camera at all during the ski season. Well, i predict that i will fall, and that i didn wanna break my camera into 2. That is my reason. Haha. Well, upon putting on all the equipment, we have to move to the lesson centre. I must say that i have difficult time walking with the ski boot. It is tight and it is hard. I seriously walk like a penguin there and i have to take care of my poles which is pretty annoying and the ski pad (i dunno what it call but is the 2 long thing to be attached to your ski boot in order to ski). Anyway, we carry everything and walk about 15mins. I must say that that was the longest 15mins i ever had.
Reaching at the lesson centre, we were introduce to our ski teacher. I am sorry. I forget the name =) He isn bad and he teach pretty good too. I didn thought that i will be so timid. But i am when i ski. Haha. The beginner is hard. Well, after the 2 hours lesson from the instructor, we get our own free time, and the butt itchy me sat the cable car i guess i should call them. Those cable car you see in the TV carrying all the skier up to the mountain and the skier will ski down the mountain/slope. I just wanna try what it is feel like to be on the ski cable car. Guess that was a decision i should not make. Apparently i will have to ski down after i go up to the mountain. And it is super high wei. It was snowing and i cannot see anything that further than 100m in front of me. It is just plain white. That is the moment when i start thinking, if something happen to me, whoe will come to the rescue and if i fall and my ski pad stuck and i cant get up, who will help me up. Things like that just cross my mind. With the snowball practise (it is actually a name for how we stop). I had a very hard time struggling down the mountain. And of course, i met good person that guide me when they feel tht i am having a hard time. It is pretty hard to describe my ski experience but i just wanna say i really enjoy it. I guess at the end of the day, i am master with the snowball practice. The up the mountain incident really scare me a little but i guess that is what make the story of my life more interesting =) Next aim is ski at Switzerland? haha..
We were pretty exhausted after the ski experience. we had our max hour outside as i did not wanna waste my time eating =) Then we off to go back. By the time i am home, my leg is bengkak. Haha. I didn have any sore leg or body. Just the blue-black effect on my toes and thigh due to the snowball effect i guess..

result of skiing

I Pity my toes, but i never regretted going for ski.. It is an amazng experience =)

Melbourne Trip: Great Ocean Road

2011-06-29T02:40:00.001+08:00

Date: 14.06.2011

Visited Place: Great Ocean Road

This is one of the places of interest that i really have to sacrifise in order to visit. It is a long hours bus ride and all we do is to go there and look at the sea and few rocks. Haha. Not to say i do not like it, but i wouldn say i enjoyed it as much as the rest. No wonder my sis keep telling me that i am taking picture with all the trees and water and woods. This is what she mean.
Anyway, i stayed at Boxhill the night before in order to go to the Great Ocean Road tour. We did not drive to Great Ocean Road as it is a long trip and tiring. We kinda join a one day tour to visit the Great Ocean Road. We selected the TravelGreen Agency i think. The tour package is AUD68 and it include nothing except for the bus ride to the Great Ocean Road. The tour will be conducted in chinese and therefore according to my friend, it will be cheaper.
Anyway, we gather at one of the pickup point at 7am. The bus pick us up and we head to the city to pick the rest of the passenger and then we are on the road. Well, i have -ve impression toward this tour guide and i think his name is Richard i think or something like that.
The journey is winding and poor chyeli is perfectly well-know as easy car-sick person. So, instead of enjoyinh the scenery along the road to the Great Ocean Road, I try to sleep as much as i can in order to avoid puking. I didn wan the nausea to spoilt my whole day trip. I will only open my eye when i need to get off the bus to really enjoy the scenery and to take picture.

Great Ocean Road, here i am..

hotels on the cliff

Along the way to Great Ocean Road, at the cliff, they build lots hotel. And according to the tour guide, one night cost you around AUD400. Let me earn a little money and then mayb in the future i will come back for a stay =) what i like is the apartment is all build with glasses covering the whole house. It is nice to have such fragile and beautiful house. Of course, if it is our house, then we would not be able to hide from the public and it is too expose. The reason with the glass house in Great Ocean Road is definitely the view. The dine with such a great view. What a life rite?

1st stop: 12th Apostles

no matter how many times i count, i cant get 12th Apostles

me with the other 2 apostles

The 1st stop for the Great Ocean Road is the 12th Apostles. well, i forget what is the story for this 12th Apostles. But it was suppose to have 12 stones standing along the beach. No matter how i count, it only have 7. i did not know where the other 5 apostles went =P Beside walking along to enjoy the view. They offer helicopter ride too. It is about AUD70 or AUD80 i think. I was considering cause i think the price is pretty reasonable and I had not have a helicopter ride before. But what i concern is the view might not be that breath-taking or it might not surprise me? therefore i did not go for it. I think my 1st time i will give it to Afrika? I remember watching the cantonese drama on the volunteered doctor in Africa. The view is magnificient even from the video, so i bet that the view is going to surprise me if i see it from Africa.

2nd stop: i dun remember

i know this is where the ship wreck and the cave is where a girl and a boy stayed to survive

I really do not remember what is this station called. I just remember that a ship wreck here and a boy and girl manage to survive and they stayed close to each other in order to survive in a cave nearby. I do not know why this become a tourist attraction but from the tour guide, he mention that both survival family will visit yearly on the accident anniversary to pay their respect to the boy and girl. Then he joke that it is an excuse to have a weekend getaway from busy lifestyle. Which i doubt his story anyway.

3rd stop: London Bridge

Final stop is the london bridge station. But is is also called the broken bridge. Well, this is not really attractive to me. Probably i would love the 2nd station more as i can get closer to the water and sand and the view is breathtaking like the rest too.

Well, i would not return again to Great Ocean Road i think. I dun find it deserving to sit on the long hours ride just to see few stones. Plus i am a carsick person. Beside, another reason i am not enjoying might be due to the tour guide. This tour guide is seriously not a good one. He did not equipped himself with sufficient knowledge and he did not giv his best service. I somehow understand why people will discriminate asian there in Melbourne. That is seriously because there are such people living there and give them a bad impression. Anyway, to eliminate this tour guide from the consideration, i think it is enough to visit just once to see what it is all about. Wont be the second time =) Guess i wont have the chance to visit Tasmania as it is basically road trip tour. And according to my friend, it is lots windier than the road heading to Great Ocean Road. Guess it is a goodbye to Tasmania..

Middle East Meal: Kebab

We reach Boxhill super late that night. Ended we have kebab for dinner. Well, naive de me didn know kebab can serve with rice. The above is call kebab and i remember the kebab in malaysia is actually a wrap with slices of meats and vege. Interesting new dish i tried there =)

Melbourne Trip: City Biking Day

2011-06-29T01:41:00.001+08:00

Date: 14.06.2011
Visited Place: Melbourne City

Today is not the 1st day i visited the City. I was there on the 1st day of my visit. I did not blog anything regard the 1st day as i was out to meet my friend and my friend did not arrange anything on the 1st day as i boarded the night flight from Malaysia and they insist that i need some rest before starting my trip in Melbourne. I did mention that we always compare when we go to a new country with the current country that we are currently staying. Of course, i would be comparing Melbourne City with Kuala Lumpur. When i first go around the city, all the buildings is shortie. Houses in Melbourne is not identical too. Your house would not be the same design with your neighbours. Well, the concept they have in Melbourne is, they will purchase the land and they will build a home that they want. Erm, i dunno if i like which way better. But i think it would be nicer to view and it look more organise if all the houses look the same =)
Seriously i think i do not like the driving lane design. I do not know how to describe it here but ya, just the design of the driving lane for the car. Beside that, totally cool.The have a lane for cyclist and the have pedestrian at every traffic light. Car slow down to let pedestrians cross the road.
The main activities that we are going to do today is CYCLING. I miss it the day before at Mornington Peninsula at the Port Nepean Nature Park. They wanted to replace my disappointment with "A day ride in Melbourne city".

the information board on "Bike Share"

It is really easy to get urself a bike in Melbourne as i guess this is one of the tourist activities they recommend in their "Visit Melbourne" website. First of all, this whole cycling in the city is called "Share Bike". And i think the share bike station is about 200m away from each others. It is actually an easy task. Clear instruction is given on the board. The board contain a lot of information. It has the map of the Melbourne City. Well, to rent this bike. What we must have is a credit card and a helmet. A helmet is a must when u ride your bicycle in Melbourne. You will kena "saman" if you dun. All 7-11 store sell them. The helmet is AUD10. Then, to rent the bike, use the credit card. Rental is counted this way. Pay AUD2.50 for a free half an hour ride. If exceed the half an hour, then hav to pay additional AUD2 for the next 30mins and another AUD2.50 for the bike. As it is charged to your credit card, you should watch your own time =)

I've got my bike and my helmet too

my friends getting their bikes

me on the move =)

I so love my friend.. Haha..

I am at the parliament

We rode around the city for almost 2 hours i think. From the city to the outer city. Almost going to cycle to St. Kilda beach but that will require us another an hour and we are already starving. So basically i cycle around the city and enjoy the business and also the scenery in the city. Well, I am impress with the road system on how they kinda respect other drivers as well as the pedestrians. Trams and Trains are all over the city too. (will blog more about the City in next post as i was on my feet in the city for another 2 days)
We were so hungry that we need to grab something to eat and something fascinating capture my eye. We end up having out brunch at Pie Face.

choices in pie face

an expression to get myself a pie

It was really cute. Different pie has a different facial expression on the pie. And according to my friend we need to mimic the facial expression on the pie we intend to have. That was like so fun rite? haha. But i amjust thinking, if they meet someone like my dad, he will definitely walk out of the shop and nvr return to the shop again. That is how serious my dad is. But i think they are just trying to make the shop more happening. If so coincident they met someone that is serious, i think they will let them through without asking them to mimic i think. We look fun and young so i guess they played with us =)

my Pie - chicken mushroom pie

That is what i got myself after a tiring road trip =) it actually have smashed green pea on top of the mashed potato too. But i seriously dun like pea =) but my friend say the smashed green pea is nice =) Perfect day for an perfect outdoor activities =)

Melbourne Trip: Mornington Peninsula

2011-06-28T08:19:00.004+08:00

The second day of my holiday, we started a bit further to the south of Australia. This day we had include in our itinerary the coastal road from the city to the Mornington Peninsula. I realise that it is not easy to travel by bus from the city to a place further away beside signing up for a tour package locally. Another way is to rent a car there. So, it is rather difficult if i bagpack and i wish to travel around. I should just get myself a car as in Australia, the places of attraction required long road trip or flight to be at the destination. Like Mornington Peninsula, if we didn drive, we will have to rent a car or get the local tour package. Another option is to cycle there. If u have the stamina. Along the highway, government of Australia already design a road with bicycle lane. So i guess it is rather safe to travel around using a bike. My fren share the story with me that her colleague stayed in the city and when weekend come, he will cycle to Mornington Peninsula as he owned a farm and a ranch there. It is kinda a life that i envy. Bz urself in the city on weekday for ur daily task and taking care of the ranch and farm during the weekend. I think that is a great life =) It kinda took us about 2.5 hours drive from the city to Mornington Peninsula. It is actually the southest part of Australia.

Date: 13.06.2011

Visited Place: Springvale

The only town we stop along the way to the Mornington Peninsula is Springvale. Every country will have a Chinatown and in Melbourne, they have a Vietnamtown. Springvale is full of Vietnamese. Friend told me that during the war era, the Vietnamese soldier stayed there and it continue until today. Thing there are cheaper too. They can actually get lots asian grocery there. They are willing to travel a little further for the grocery =)

Vietnamese meal : Pho

We drop by the town and try the Vietnamese food. Seriously it taste superb =) It is actually pronounce as "fur".. We walk a while in the supermarket and i found Thai durian in the supermarket =) After having the breakfast we continue our journey to the South. We head straight to Mornington Peninsula. That is where our 1st stop going to be =)

Date: 13.06.2011
Visited Place: Mornington Peninsula

my 1st view of the beach, the house is use to store boats and sails

Mr Sun come out and work =)

I do not feel the heat at all.. I love the beach but it is too COLD..

at the pier

view of the pier, the fish and chip restaurant and the parking

Well, when we go vacation at other people country, we will tend to do comparison. There is always a saying in chinese, " The moon oversea is always rounder" (i direct translate from chinese) Maybe i carry that point of view to visit melbourne as well. I really like the beach. It make me wonder why the westerner like to come Malaysia for the beach. I can understand if they go Bali lar, as Bali is an island design for water activities. Well, i dun deny Malaysia have beautiful beaches too. Just the level of maintainence is sucky wei =) We have a long walk along the beach and we did a lil climbing to up up the cliff. No words i would choose to describe the beauty of the beach with the mighty Mr Sun and with sky full of seagull. Probably this is the reason why they love sunbathing? I dunno.. haha..

me and the ice-cream man and the ice-cream truck

After a long walk, on the way walking back to the car, we bump into the above ice-cream truck. It remind me of my childhood where i sit in front of the TV watching Mickey Mouse. The truck is almost similar to those in the cartoon series. We stopped and bought one ourself. Ya, despite the winter, I have dipped choc with candy ice-cream. Yum Yum. The candy topping added to the Chocolate coating ice-cream is actually too sweet. But still I enjoy it. With the winter. Guess how much i paid for the ice-cream AUD 3.50 =.= (can have almost 5 ice cream back in Msia) After the ice-cream treat, we hop back in our car and move to the next destination =)

Date: 13.06.2011
Visited Place: Rye

2nd stop: Rye

We stop at Rye next. This is due to Eva's Dad recommendation. He say that if we are lucky enough, we can see something in the sea. I forget what is the creature that he mention. Saw the bridge behind me, that is where everone suppose to head to look at the outer sea and some people fish along the bridge as well. Although it is in the winter, today consider a great day. Lots people are out fishing and sailing. Impressive on how people spend their time here =) People there are friendly and polite too. They greeted me along the way knowing i am tourist and one of the local even speak to me with chinese. I am impress. Haha..

Dock for the motorboat to go down the sea and up to the land

how the travel with the boat

There is alot of picnic table around and we stop here for our lunch. Today we pack from home. Get up a lil early and make ourself 5 hotdog each to eat together with the bread. We had Pork sausage =) No wonder they like picnic-ing so much. Picnic tables and chairs are ready and it is well kept. Citizen are civilised too. No rubbish throwing around the picnic table. Do you know they even clean up their tray when the eat in restaurant and fast food restaurant. Kinda is their responsibility to do so =) Ok. After this stop, since we are running a little late, we head straight to the Portkey (we were suppose to go into maze gaming too, but i choose to let it go for i want to enjoy the nature in Melbourne city)

Date: 13.06.2011
Visited Place: Port Nepean Nature Park

I am called "Transporter"

Original planning in the Port Nepean National Park is to ride a bike. I really wanna ride one. The lady in the counter insists that we will not come back in time if we ride the bike and that she need to go back on time (She said it in a nicer way and more tactful). Therefore, she suggest us to hop on to one of the transporter. Per ride it cost you about AUD8.70. It is actually a truck pulling a few carriage behind to be seated by passengers. It does look a little like transformer right? Along the ride, scenery is magnificient. Totally agree that camera cannot capture the real beauty of what we saw with out eye. I bet, i would enjoyed it more if i am on the bike. It is just too bad i reached too late. Just to share, to rent a bike in the park is AUD20 per day. There is no hourly rental.

The final peak at PortKey

I really like the view

Final destination: Port Nepean

There are 4 stations around the park and Port Nepean is the last one. We did not stop at any of the stop due to the time constraint and the selling point of this place is the Port Nepean as it is the southest point of Australia. But I can summarize a little on the 4 others check point. I remember the 1st check point is the Quarantine Station. This stop shows all the dorms that was stayed by soldiers during their training last time and if i remember it correctly, it is a place they quarantine soldiers with illness there too. What happen after that, i really dunno. The 2nd check point is the Cheviot Hill. This stop for the australian to pay their respect to one of their prime minister. I am sorry but i forget the name of the Prime Minister. He went scuba diving at this area and no one seen him after that. They had the biggest search around the beach but no body is found. The 3rd check point is the Fort Pearce. I am sorry. I do not remember the stories at all beside i know the view around is breathtaking =) Of course, the Final pit stop is the Port Nepean. It is the port where they have gun emplacements where the first allied shots were fired in World War I and the first allied shots in World War II.

I am at the southest part of Australia

I am in love with mother nature

tunnel where soldiers travel around

The sun really like me

Breathtaking scenery

Goodbye southest part of Australia

Isn it nice to bring your family out here for cycling or jogging during the weekend? It is only about 2 hours drive from the city. Of course, i dare to say that if i stay there, i would never wake up so early every weekend just to go for a visit. And most important is, there is no entrance fee =) unless you wanna ride a bike or when u decide to board the transporter. This is because you can choose to walk. And it is free. Many people do that. Beside, you dont sweat at all in this kind of weather. It is just awesome. I told them i will be back for a bike session. I will miss this place honestly. It really captured my heart =)

Melbourne Trip: Yarra Valley and Healesville

2011-06-27T19:44:00.002+08:00

June is an interesting month for me. I have been anticipating this trip to Melbourne for a really long time. I've booked the air ticket about a year ago. Well, because of a fren (Yen Min) who can consider settling down in Melbourne pester me to visit her for years, i finally decide to go despite not knowing what will my financial status going to be. And i did not regret my decision. Everytime when i visited a country, it add lots knowledge to my pocket. I will start to see things differently. Guess this Melbourne trip did the same. And this trip make me realise that the planning that i have all this while is the right one =)

Date: 12.06.2011 (Sunday)

Visited Place: Yarra Valley

Yarra Valley is a valley that is full of vineyard. I was there during the winter. Therefore the view of the wineyard is not pretty as most of the plants is drying up and going into hibernation. My fren told me that the best season to visit the vineyard would be the in November and December. But i would like to visit again during autumn. They describe the forest and the plants will look like in fire and it is really eye-catching. I really wish i can see them =)

It was about 2 hours drive from the city. We picked the Yarra Yerring to have a visit and have a look on the vineyard and also the scenery.

the back of the vineyard where wine is stored

beautiful farm scene with all the cattles and goats

place where the grape is ferment to turn to wine

Well, there is no touring given at this vineyard. So is the rest. But you can explore and ask any question to anyone around the vineyard (of course the workers that stationed in the vineyard). They are very friendly and willing to share the knowledge and information that they have. Of course, no touring is given therefore, it is zero cost to visit this place. We do not hav to pay to visit =)

in front of the shop

the wine racks

wine testing station

Well, i did not know that there is this free wine testing in all vineyard. Basically you can drink as much as you want and walk out from the shop without buying anything and visit the next vineyard. If you have the guts =) Some of their wine are really good. But i find them really troublesome. So i end up did not get any of them. It is not cheap either. Haha..

testing corner

Beside the wine testing station, there is the testing corner. There are jam, and sos and all sort of seasoning made of wine. I like one of the sos, but i could not think of what my mum can use the sos for? i end up did not buy that and the only thing i leave with is the jam. Erm, it is the wine jem and it tasted a lil spicy =)

lavendar farm

There is this big lavendar plants in front of the entrance. Due to winter, the lavendar is not growing at all. No purple colour. This is where my friend remind me again that i should back during the spring and winter. Haha..

my best frens

in front of the grape farm

See all the plants behind me, it is all yellow due to the winter. If not, i can imagine that this must be a really beautiful vineyard =)

Date: 12.06.2011 (Sunday)
Visited Place: Healesville Sanctuary

After the vineyard, we head to the Healesville Sanctuary. It is about 1 hours to 1 1/1 hours lar. We had our lunch before we go there. I had subway =)
Healesville Sanctuary is like a zoo. Place where we can see animals. Many people did not know a little secret that belong to me, i really love animals and i love to visit zoo =) Of course, i do not like them near me. I just like to watch from a distance. Seeing my reaction toward dog and cat, people will definitely assume that i do not like the zoo. haha.. But to be honest, i really love them =)
Of course this need entrance fee. I am young and fresh so i go in with student price. I paid about AUD18 for the visit. DUN CONVERT!

healesville sanctuary

with the emu

come Melbourne to see him.. haha..

with the koala

the koala is awake to greet me

I almost forget that koala can only be seen in Australia until my friend remind me that i should visit the sanctuary. And the main reason of my visit is to see mr. Koala and also Mr. Kangaroo as well as Mr. Tasmania Devil and Mr. Platipus. The sanctuary is well maintain. It is clean and organise. It does not look dirty and were stationed with lots ranger around the sanctuary. They will tell stories and facts about the animals and we can shower them with question. And most important is they carry their smile when they are on duty and they are polite to everyone of the customer. In this sanctuary, you are given the chance to get near to the animal of course, provided if you pay extra. I think we pay AUD10 extra per animal to get a close up. Well, it's depend how you define worthy. By paying the extra AUD10, you get to take picture upclose with the animals and fed them.

CRAP MAN - he is the super hero that persuade citizen to use recycle toilet paper

I realise that Australian, they are really environmental concern. everywhere you go, you see recycle bin and the people actually dispose their rubbish according to the type of rubbish. Therefore, we met a superhero that concern about the environment too. He introduce himself as Crap Man. His duty is to tell the citizen to use recycle toilet paper and how this recycle toilet paper is going to save the earth and human being at the end =) He is funny. He actually have a toilet paper roller at the back of him.

with the kangaroo

New information i know from this sanctuary is both baby Kangaroo and baby Koala is call Joey. I know baby Kangaroo is called Joey. I didn know that baby Koala is call the same.

me with the 1st blue eye kiddo

the baby joey i met at the jumping field. The spongy thing behind us is for us to jump and feel the feeling of being a kangaroo =) i enjoyed though i was forced to jump because I AM A TOURIST.. haha..

the medical center for the animal

This is something unusual, they actually have this medical center in the middle of the sanctuary to show the public on how they treat the injured animal and how we suppoer to take care of them when we saw one. As they emphasize a lot on the freedom of wildlife, you can actually bump into a wildlife while driving along the highway. I bump into something when i am on the way back to the city from Philip Island =)

hearts of some animals

One of the specimen i took from the medical center. It is the size of the heart for few animals. i think the smallest one belong to the snake. Well, by the time we finish the whole sanctuary, the sun is down. Sun off duty around 5pm during the winter. There isn anywhere else we can go after the sun is down. Therefore we headed home.

mexico food for dinner

I had mexico food that night for dinner thanks to Eva's bro who work in the mexico restaurant. the food is awesome and the boss charged us 50% for the dinner. 1st night ended ok. More excitement to come =)

my training in Singapore

2011-06-06T07:43:00.000+08:00

Recent month is my travelling month. Right after Daddy De Rong and Mummy Yan Chuen's wedding, i went over to Singapore for one of the training my company has sent me over. It was located in Sentosa Island, Singapore. The training is held in Shang-Ri La Rasa Sentosa Hotel inside Sentosa Island. The place is cool. Beautiful. But of course. i did not manage to enjoy anything from the hotel as the training i attended start from 8am until 8pm. Pretty long hour i know but it is great. I learned a lot.

the view from the rooms

This training offer me opportunity to meet people all over the world. Not every part but ya, some of the part. I met with colleagues from Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Korea, Switzerland and others. It is nice knowing them especially when they share stories about how their company operating and how is the life style in their home country. Of course, i am the youngest among all. But, i am happy i can somehow clique with most of them =)

my case study group

Before the training i was freaking worry that i might not excel in this training. But i guess i did pretty well. I am pretty impress with myself and proud of myself too. At least, i dare to voice out what i think it is right. And that make me feel great when i am right =)
Thanks company for giving me such an opportunity. You let me see clearer that the world is actually really big and i am just living in the tiniest spot in the world =)

Daddy De Rong and Mummy Yan Chuen

2011-05-28T23:54:00.000+08:00

It is 21st of May. It is the great day and an important date for my dearest daddy De Rong and Mummy Yan Chuen. It is their big day. Daddy De Rong and Mummy Yan Chuen is getting married today. I met them a couple years ago when i am still studying in university. Well, i guess i should say it is fate that i met them. I study in UM and they are from UUM actually. It is a long story how i met them. Conclusion is fate that we met =)

Early in the morning, we went to Mummy Yan Chuen's house. We agreed to be Mummy Yan Chuen's "ji mui". I always love wedding.. Seeing mummy in her white wedding gown, i feel so touchy..

mummy with her 3 daughters

This is my 1st time being the ji mui. I didn know that the bridegroom do not have to play. haha.. Only yhr "heng dai" that come together with Daddy De Rong will get played. Well, cause i am pretty close with daddy too. Just worry that i will bully him. Haha..
Mummy Yan Chuen cry a little when Daddy De Rong declare his love to her behind the close door. I am feeling a little touchy too. I mean if i were the bride, i think i will cry too. Then Daddy De Rong manage to bring Mummy Yan Chuen to his house dy lor.

daddy with his 3 daughters

daddy and mummy with us

we oh

After the tea session in Daddy De Rong's house, we head to the local buddhist temple. As Daddy De Rong and Mummy Yan Chuen are both very dedicated to Buddha, they had their wedding ceremony in Buddhist temple. This is my 1st time attending a Buddhist wedding ceremony. It is not much different than the normal Church wedding as in church they have priest to bless their wedding and everyone will sing to bless the newly wed. As for the Buddhist ceremony, they have monk to run the wedding and we too sing dharma to bless the newly wed.

buddhist temple

flower boys and flower girls

daddy and mummy with us after the ceremony

It ended about 1pm i think and we back to Lian Siang's home to rest before we attend the dinner which is at the same day as well. Well, dinner is attended by more people. We had fun meeting everyone and more important is i think we are all really happy for Daddy De Rong and Mummy Yan Chuen.

we at the dinner with daddy and mummy

daddy and mummy with me =)

Daddy De Rong, u must sayang Mummy Yan Chuen oh.. Waiting for newborn from you guys. Take care and Happy wedding.. Happy always and May God be with you and loving to each other till old. When i am writing, i am thinking of what people will wish the newly wed during wedding in english and i couldn think of one. haha.. anyway, i know u guys will be happy like forever.

Bali weekend getaway

2011-05-19T12:07:00.001+08:00

Without realising, i have been working in the same company for 22 months. But honest saying, i am not close with most of the colleague and always there is negative view toward finance department of every company because we block people claims and we disapprove people's sponsorship forms and etc. and also because we demand all the original copies and we follow all the SOP and no belas kasihan.. LOL

This is not the 1st event that exposing me toward the whole organisation staff. Yearly we will have 2 annual meetings, the kick off meeting. But as the name of the event ryhme, meeting mean official working meeting, we did not have the chance to meet around.

It wasn a pleasant vacation since we are suppose to go to japan instead of Bali. But since it is free trip, we did not say anything lar. Bali bali lor.. just wanted to find a chance to hang around with colleagues. Just a little sad that we did not go as a whole company. We are split into 2. I went with the bigger group lar.

girls at the airport

We reach Bali about 4pm to 5pm like that i think. I know we are meeting for dinner at about 6pm. So we are a bit rushing back to the room and bath and change =) The theme for the dinner is batik or flora night. Most of us are pretty obedient as we were there with flora and batik wears. Of course there are some naughty people that did not follow the dress-code. Well, dun care them as long as the rest of us have fun am i right?
The dinner is special as the restaurant is fully booked by Roche Diagnostics (M) Sdn Bhd. There is the welcoming dance and welcoming drink. Exploring around the restaurant showing us all the traditional gambling games. Then we were seated at the main hall. Imagining that we are in the olden days where palace is the main building. We are in the palace and we acted like the Kings and the King's wife or even the VIP guests. We are sitting in the middle of an empty ground, with a canopy in the middle. Grand canopy. With tables nicely decorate inside the canaopy. Then in front of the canopy there is a huge stage where it is use to entertain all the diners. That is how warmly welcome we are. Of course this warmly welcome is paid off by our company. Haha..

1st day flora dressing dinner at Rumah Bali

The dinner is okla. Not to say too great as everything is grilled and spicy. Well, it was suppose to be special. Therefore, the dinner is serve super slowly. Haha.. the dishes only come out like half and hour once. The tour guide explain that the reason they do so is for us to enjoy the magnificient local performance. Just because the dinner is spread until late at night. I am obidient on the 1st night. I sleep once i reach hotel to have another energetic day the next day..
I did not share with you guys on the hotel we are staying in Bali yet. We stayed in Grand Hyatt at Nusa Dua. The hotel and the place is beautiful. It is as big as a mini town. With it's own shopping complex inside. surrounding is all the 5 stars hotel and Grand Hyatt is one of them. They own a private beach and few facilities. The hotel have 4 swimming pools and have 3 restaurants for us to dine for the breakfast in the morning. Well, thank god that we have 3 days, so we ate in each restaurant a day =) Now about the room. Obviously as soon as we walk into the room, we know that this is suppose to be a honeymoon suite. With no lock at the bathroom and with window and transparent glass for the bathroom. A bit shy to stay with someone we are not close with. Therefore, i seriously thankful that my roommate is Bay =)
So, the 1st day in Bali, we visited a temple called Ayun temple. The place is small but the historical part is that the temple is dunno how many hundred years old. I am forgetful =)

a trip to Ayun Temple

After the temple visiting, we boarded wolkwagen to go for our lunch. This is interesting as it will be a great experience for me. I mean, i would never you know get my butt into this car if i were travelling myself. Well, it sound great when they say that we having a tour in wolkwagen. Definitely you are thinking that it is going to be a great car and comfy is another adjedtive that i will think of when i see the itinery. Well, the truth is that the wolkwagen ride did not have air-conditioning and it can open the roof. But the Weather that time is pretty warm and the Mr. Sun is there greeting us. But still, as a young girl, i find it challenging and it is ok if we get a lil darker =)

our 1st Buffet lunch with wolkwagen ride

After the lunch, We went to the tasik something. Shitty wei, i forget all the name. Some tasik with such name. Walk around and take picture is what we do a lot. Then, we climb back to the same car and we visited tanah lot =) Well, just because i was there once, i love the place a lot. i feel that the view and scenery is magnificient. It is heart-throbbing. I really like the view. Well, if for me to sit there and spent my whole evening, looking at the view and do some reading. I think i do not mind =) Well, the gang that i hang with did not wanna go to the temple and they wanted to go shopping more. So they forgo the temple and go shopping. Well, if i have not have the chance to visit it yet, i definitely would not mind to walk the temple myself =) But since i had, i join them shopping =)
After Tanah Lot, We head for our dinner at the famous Jimbaran. It is a place where we have dinner by the seaside. Of course, the main attraction is having our dinner together with the sunset view. Nothing special on the dinner of course. It is grilled seafood and it is dark where we hardly able to see anything on the plate they served us =)

me and the roommate at Jimbaran

That is not the end of the 1st night. Since it is a saturday night, we visited Kuta Town that night. We visited HardRock Cafe. Well, we drink and dance there. obviously i am the youngest there and i only have 3 gulps throughout the night. But i did join the fun and dance and chat and see people. Of course, no handsome there for me to pikat. Haha..
The 2nd day is not as happening as the 1st day. Early in the morning, they brought us to Ubud market. Well, it is another place for shopping of course. After the shopping would be the lunch arrangement. Crispy duck which they call it bebek in Bali. The duck is ok but in order to eat the duck, we have to pass the monkey forest. Scary pls. One of the colleague, Lynn, her bag was robbed by the monkey. It is a hard lunch =(

us having crispy duck

After the lunch, we were split into 2. Half of us go for Spa and the other half shopping. Our group get to shopping 1st then spa next. Well, i wouldn say the spa is great cause i remember the last time i go is better. I get to choose the spa that i want. If i didn remember it wrongly. We choose the volcano scrub cause it is special. Anyway, we just get normal scrub and the smell is irritating as it is strawberry and goat milk. No matter how i scrub the smell is there. Well, another great news is, i was suppose to share a room someone. And we have to be nude in the room. Luckily Bay is nice to me. We were avoiding each other and when we share the same tub, it is really nice of her to back to back with me =)

spa session with the girls

After the spa, we ber-tolak for our dinner. Tonight, the dinner is great. The place is awesome. Grand and nice. It would be great if we were there with partner wei. Anyway, we go back hotel and sleep early to welcome the last day we are going to be in Bali. Of course that night we have a mini party in my room. The tour leader bought me another local famous delicacies, babi guling. So i invited few people and we enjoy it. Well, the babi guling is not so nice. Feel weird weird actually.. haha.. The next day i was suppose to get up early for the sunrise, but some accident happen and i did not get up. And i miss my date. Haha.. Nevermind, end up i have breakfast with him =)
I still got up early. Went to the beach at 7am. There we play volleyball, the beach and the pool. Well, during the volleyball match is the time i show my skills. Haha. Am just joking lar. They were all pretty skillful player. Of course i am a viewer at 1st. Then i enter the match 2nd round. Well, the other group win and they were pretty proud. Of course i will excel a little since i played for school before. It surprise them. Haha. I still manage to serve the ball really nice. proud of myself =) totally change their impression toward me =)

volleyball match

Anyway, after the match we go to the sea and go to the pool before finally going up the room, bath and change and head back to malaysia. It is a wonderful trip. Not to mean on the itinery but on what i did there and people i have met.

saying goodbye

You know, throughout the trip, people know the real me. I was of course quiet and serious when i am working. there are so many of them that say i do not seem like the me in the office. Apparently they say i am in the center of attention throughout the trip. Well, i should say that i didn only grab attention but i am also the laughstock of my company. (=.=) Pengsan a not? haha..
After the trip, i feel happier.. This is true when they say we need vacation to release our stress and a vacation theraphy seem working to me =)

My Penang Getaway

2011-05-01T02:22:00.000+08:00

The previous weekend i went to Penang. It has been so so long since i last feel so comfortable and stress-relief. I eat all the way to Batu Ferringhi. I stayed in Bayview at Batu Ferringhi this time. My aim is the beach and not the food actually. So i visited few stalls that i wanted to eat and up i head to Batu Ferringhi.

The beach is great and the sun is active too. Haha. It is like the sun know i am coming and the sun welcome me. I have fun visiting the beach and the night market they have in Batu Ferringhi. Then i go back early to the hotel and i rest. Too bad i didn manage to get a seaview room. Forget to request for one when i went there. Aiks... The next round, i must stay facing the sea so i can sit at the balcony reading the storybook that i have brought along. Then should go jogging in the morning at the beach. I tried once. It is awesome.

Well, what i did this round is sleep. I went to the beach but i merely have a look, take some picture and do some observation (hot guys).

After the dinner and the night market walk, i remember visiting the beach. As it is a private beach, no outsider can visit, i feel secure sitting there, listening to the sound of the wave and looking the star above the sky. Life is almost perfect at that point. If there is a lamp post and i can reach my novel, that is great.. haha..

And i found out that, Penang have the most tourist across Malaysia and i saw quite a number of hottie.. haha. i think Batu Ferringhi will be my next destination again. Next round mayb i will bump into one of the hot tourist. WAHAHA..

me and the beach greeting all readers

I am promoted =)

2011-04-27T08:35:00.000+08:00

I was in the same assistant position for nearly 2 years and i remember telling myself if i should continue staying in the same company for the same position (which is merely assistant) for more than 2 years. Although i was tell people that i dunno what is my direction is going to be, but i know somewhere deep down in the heart, i hav already had my answers.
April is the month where my company distribute the bonus as well as increment and promotion letter distribution month. Everyone is anticipating this month for awhile since the previous year, all this is out from the company bank account in the month of Dec or Jan the following year.
This year i got my promotion letter. From an assistant, finally i am not an executive =) My 1st promotion. Definitely is a must to celebrate. I am telling myself Good Job too.. haha..

Chyeli in the last couple of weeks..

2011-04-11T08:19:00.000+08:00

Hie blog,

It has been awhile since i last wrote anything here. I was a bit busy last couple of weeks and i was maintaining my written diary more than this electronic diary. The only things that is more happening to me this couple of weeks is the relationship i got myself into.
I have been keeping in touch with someone that i should not for the last couple of weeks. I did not expect him to visit my blog and i do feel scare to blog about him last time. Probably because i didn want him to know that "I am so not over about you yet" kinda thing. But this post, i wish that he can see it. After the last conversation regard how girl/woman can be braver than guy/man, i assume he is someone really and he would not make any move and avoid is the only thing he is planning to do right now? Is he? Maybe i think a little too much. I am not going to care what he think rite now. What matter now is what i am thinking and what am i feeling. Will i be able to endure giving without having to get anything in return? I am telling myself that i think i can. I am giving everything that i want to give him in this life. Do not get me wrong cause i am not asking for anything. I am just trying to make myself comfortable and not regretful but burden him a little with the love he do not deserve. Silly i know but i do think i can live without him. Even if he decide to let go of me in his current life, at least i do not regret to have all the memory i have regard him rite? I would not want to hear the phrase that we will be friend forever and i did not request anything in return. Just let me keep this feeling of being more than friend but not yet the lover stage. I know, they say we will demand more if we get what we want. Just put it that i wont be greedy. I just want this right now.
Sometime i do angry at myself you know, angry how can i not let go of him and move on.. Angry on how many guy i have let go because of him. Angry with myself.. But still, this is the reason why there are things that we could not explain in this world rite? I will still move on, but i am including you in the future chapter, whether if you are going to stay until the end of the story, we shall wait and see what fate is arranged for us =)
What am i still doing now? What am i waiting for? Breath and continue live on chyeli.

2011-03-21T21:48:00.000+08:00

Can i not born into a family where i need to be the eldest?

Can i stop caring people that doesn care about me?

Can i just not being chyeli?

Black Swan

2011-03-10T12:49:00.000+08:00

I have always wanted to watch this movie once i had watch the trailer. i feel it is going to be a good movie but we could not be sure for that. Well, there are movie that i feel it is going to awesome but turn out to be bad too. Well, this is exceptional since it is now appearing in my blog post =)

Me and Jiayi has arrange to meet up this sat for this movie. So we added a few agenda to today like meeting Munyeng and meeting Cinvin and Aivin. and lastly, we manage to get Meifenn to meet up =)
I have plan this "siu yuk" outing for awhile. been longing to have a taste of it for a very long time since i saw it in Jiayi's blog. But this "siu yuk" is freaking expensive. nice but too expensive.

the KL "siu yuk"

after the "siu yuk" we head to sunway pyramid. we shop and see see things lo. basically it is a window-shopping day la. We did not buy anything apart of CDs. It is more of a CD shopping days for all of us =) Look at what i have got myself? Additional CD to my Peter's collection. I only have few collection from him. It is so freaking difficult to get his collection. I am trying to look for his older works piece but i could not get. shall visit china once to get a copy of everything he acted in =)

my Peter new collection

Well, we are here to meet Cinvin and Aivin actually but sad to say they did not make it. Didn wanna say about it. anyway, we still are going to enjoy ourself to the max. Next we went for the "black swan" movie. Me and Jiayi has wish to watch this movie for awhile. there we go. we have the chance now. The ticket is RM14 wei. i feel it is a bit expensive la. But nevermind la. Once a while. I highly recommend this movie la. Hmm, why a? because it is acted by Natalie Portman? She is a good actress, she really know how to potray the roles she is handling. Great job of Natalie to bring us all into the movie.

the black swan

Some of my fren did not like this movie. they say it potray -ve message. it did. But i do have a diff point of view. For me, it is a great one. Probably because i would rather die but i wanna do something i am good at once and everyone acknowledge it. this is what we called, manusia mati meninggalkan nama. =) I am just stubborn.. i enjoy.. to the max =)
After the movie, we had dinner together and meifenn joined us. Then we decide to see Jay at Hilton KL. Did caught a glimpse of him geh. too bad, he didn stop down to say hie or anything. but still satisfy and go back home sleep..

the girls

what a great day. will have another on march 26 with leehom and jiayi. i cant wait already =)

Jay's concert

2011-03-08T07:46:00.000+08:00

It is a day my sis has been looking forward for. At 1st she was suppose to go with her bf but then something happen between them that she is not going and conclusion is i am going with her =)

anyway, i am pretty fond of jay also cause he is also a talented singer =) so i am pretty looking forward to see him actually. i mean attending this concert =)

anyway, i took half day for this concert and we meet at the stadium and go for this show =)

the concert ticket

me and sis at Jay's concert

it was about 2 hours as it start at 840pm and ended around 11pm. It is indeed a great show. The 3D and he lighting effect was awesome. it is breathtaking at some moments. How do i put it in words? it is like, i enjoy even i didn know all his songs. ur hand and ur light stick will follow him automatically. That is how amazing the show is.
I did not manage to capture any picture as my camera is .. cannot use? haha.. no la. just the camera is not canggih enough. When i try to catch some scene, it is a bit hopeless that it is blurred or too bright. Or mayb it is just the cameraman (me), for not knowing the right technic and mode to use that camera at that event. Wahaha.
Anyway, it was fun. It is lagi fun cause i am going with the sis. My this dearest sis has been liking Jay for as long as i like Nicholas ler. Spending an awesome night like this is great. Well, thanks to iphone i should say. Now me and my sis are much closer. We share most of our things through iphone apps. Of course i sayang her. My only sis =)
oh ya.. another thing share. i always like when artirts or singer scold those security guards. hmm, i mean they are just doing their job la. A lil pity for being scolded too. Just probably there are really maniac fans in the world they have met and they didn wan it to repeat therefore, they are really strict with us.
Here is the "song" part. when the concert is near to encore, Jay ask the fans to go in front as he has never sing in a venue with such an empty space in front of him. ok. So the fans rush to the front but a group of Rela rush in and form a wall like that la. At that point, suddenly Jay say "pls find someone to talk to those security and ask them not to block my fans".. i was like.. "wow".. then of course the Rela has to giv way la. It was actually awesome how Jay know how to bring the crowd into his world. Everyone definitely entered his world and it is awesome =)
Good Job Jay. Now i can tell u that there will be 2nd time i will be seeing you in action on stage somewhere =)

LeeHom is coming to town..

2011-02-23T07:46:00.001+08:00

Due to the myfm event, LeeHom is coming to Malaysia. Breathing.. haha.. Must get the tickets to the event. It is the Myfm Award thingy. Bad news is it is really hard to get their tickets. But i would like to go and see LeeHom. Imagining him walking through the red carpet and being close. Must go "book seat" early early for the sake of him dy.. haha..
Jiayi: must fight for it.. Let's make it happen.. create another new and great memories.. Drag Meifenn along..

I've made it =)

2011-02-22T07:46:00.000+08:00

See the above? I've made it. Silly me did not register for ACCA to send the result to me through email and i have difficult time logging into the ACCA website due to "sesak".. I have to pretend not nervous and not "tak sabar" to see my result. Until this very 1.45am, i manage to access and there is go... "I PASS THE PAPER".. just feel like shouting to the whole world.. but i know, i still have 4 more papers to go.. so what it is to be so happy about.. But i cant control.. The happiness and the warmness is from inner body.. haha.. There it go my 1st steps toward ACCA.. another 4 more papers to go.. Aza Aza fight =)

i open my treasure box again..

2011-02-16T17:45:00.000+08:00

it is weird how things play with our feeling. Here i am thinking that i am going to lose him forever. When at the point i could not reach him anywhere, i try to hold myself back from getting his contact back again. Mayb this will do me and him good. Few days after that, he come back in my life again.
Memories that is locked is open up for another time. Was begin to wonder, how many time in my this life will i need to close and open this treasure box. Will there be a day that this box is going to stay shut forever or will it be a day that this treasure box going to stay open forever, storing more and more memories. Guess no one will be able to give me the answer. I think i will need to answer this myself years and years later =)
Even it is purely msges, it leave me thinking lots. content you asking? well, this definitely need to be keep as a secret =)
I will like to see how my life is arrange, how will my love life be =)

2nd time

2011-02-10T07:59:00.019+08:00

Waking up late due to the late outing the day before. Once i open my door, mummy told me to get ready as we need to rush to the hospital. Grandma admitted to the hospital because she vomited blood. It is a bit scary when hear and i did double confirm the reason and mummy didn know. will have to ask them when we reach the hospital.
You guys could never imagine how fast my heart has been beating. Having daddy in Germany i am worry sick if anything happen to grandma. Reach hospital and Yani told us that she has been having cramp and she bite her tongue (chinese called it "fatt yong tiu"). She did not vomit any blood. the blood come from the bleeding from the tongue and the saliva. It seem like vomitting the blood as the quantity is a lot.
well, this incident happen middle of the night on the 3rd day of CNY. it has been our mistake for not installing a phone at grandma's house. When this happen to grandma, the maid did not know what to do and she start calling outsider to give us a hand. A passerby help to contact ambulance. Grateful for his help.
consulted doctor the reason behind all this, doctor suspect that grandma is having a 2nd time stroke. seeing with all the tubes around her again make my heart feeling sour.
after the 1st stroke, it took us lots time to finally having her healtily on the wheel chair and she being able to eat on her on (not through feeding tube). Doctor has said that mostlikely she will require to depend on the feeding tube as all the organs in her body has damage due to the stroke.
it is a fact that a lil hard to accept as having back the feeding tube, mean having her screaming day and night as she hate that feeding tube a lot. It seem like this is an endless battle and we have to start all over again because of this stroke. We have been hoping that mayb one day grandma will be able to talk to us soon. but with this 2nd time stroke, it crush all our hopes. We are so going to start all over again. Since this time, it did not affect on the movement between the hand and the legs, the part that are affected from the 2nd time stroke is mostlikely the brain. Her tongue is strunking due to the stroke. It hurt everyone that is watching and we have to tie her hand back to the bed. Seeing her screaming day and night and we tight her hand up might seem to be really cruel, but you know what, if we did not do this, she will start pulling the feeding tube and the process to put in the feeding tube is not comfortable at all. it hurt to see..
not enough with this trouble, the passerby that help that i mention earlier, come back and say the angpao we giv him because of his help is not enough. what de.. what sort of people also got in this world wei. He was suppose to help without hoping for any return and yet he is threatening us. Keep telling us that money could not buy back life. So what, you want to have everything that i have izzit?
like chinese saying "yat bo mei ting, yat bo yao lei... the 1st issue is not solve, yet come another. All we could do is stay strong and believe in ourself. no matter how hard, we still need to face it rite? cause she is one of our family member. am just wishing, no more for her. she had enough.. Bless Grandma..

CNY 2011 - K session

2011-02-09T07:43:00.014+08:00

It is the 3rd day of CNY where we have arrange for CNY visiting among the kajang schoolmates. Due to some un-avoidable reason, the outing left chyeli, zk, feiyin and sher wi. We visited Pei Ching's house and in her house, i suggested change of plans since there is only 4 of us. I suggested sing k or watch movie and the dearest zk is happy enough that we decided to sing k instead of house visiting as she has not hold on to the mic for this round visit back in malaysia =)
Faye suggest to go to neway. Called the one in Cheras and they are full. therefore, they transfer us to CEO Neway @ Fahrenheit Mall. We have nvr been there and since they mention that the fees is going to be the same (originally CEO neway will be much more pricier compare to the normal neway and because they did not have rooms anymore, they wanted our business, transfer us to CEO Neway with the same charges)
so off we go to the Fahrenheit Mall.
Neitherless to say, all of us super enjoy each and every moments. i think except for Sher Wi ba. cause she is not feeling so well since she is having a lil sore-throat.. but i do believe she enjoy video-camera-ing us =P

4 of us that make it for the outing

me and dearest zk

the "pls" and "behave" girl

super like this picture

After the K session, we drop by Sher Wi's house follow by Faye's house and ZK's house. A bit bu se de ZK tim. Somehow, it did feel like miracle that we can stay close having her in perth and me in malaysia. It is just funny how fate and destiny play around us. Those that are so so close to me cannot maintain such a friendship but i manage to keep in touch with those faraway. She is among one of them and the other would be Yen Min. Surprise Surprise =)

our polaroid moments

After that, all of us sleep like nobody business cause the outing definitely exhaust all of us. Happy CNY my dearest buddies.. I enjoy the day a lot and hope all of u too =)

It is the year of rabbit this year. According to the fengshui and all the prediction, it will be a great year for those that are born in the year of tiger which is me =)
Well, all this while i always behave, listen to what is nice and dun believe those that are bad. well, we arent suppose to do so, but what is the point of ruin your whole year for a prediction we aren sure whether if it is good a not? well, just use it as a guideline and trust our sixth sense i think =)
Like every year, my 1st day of cny is the same as previous year. The only different this is year is my grandma is not in the condition where she is in last year. She is on the wheel chair and she seem to be fine to me celebrating together and accept all the guess that came =)

sis, mum and me

my bro and sis

grandma's grand-daughters

At the end of the day after all the same routine, went for a movie with dearest sis, ann, zk and zk's siblings. we watched Mr & Mrs Incredible. was worry sick that the movie will not be a great one as there aren any trailer to view in advance on the storyline and etc. we just get to know bout the story when we are in the cinema. luckily it is not too bad wei.. haha.. Well, i am not sure how others feel about this movie, but me myself like it a lots.. especially the "kweng kweng hap" and "hiong hiong hap" part.. What a name for world superheroes =) funny and loving and adorable couple.. am loving it =)

As usual, on the 2nd day of CNY after having the "kai nian" meal in grandma's house, we depart to malacca. visited grandpa and all the aunties. then head back home.
On the 3rd day of CNY we plan to have visiting among all friends.
4rd and 5th day of CNY planned to rest at home and start work on the 6th day of CNY. Well, as for us working people, once reported to work, basically that is the end of our CNY =)
Anyway, may everyone in this world have their blessing in this year of rabbit =)

2010 is going away and 2011 is coming

2010-12-31T16:05:00.001+08:00

2010 is waving goodbye and 2011 is welcoming me. Everyone around me say that they have change and grow a lot in year 2010. What has happen to me in year 2010? Funny is I could not recall what is the important things that happen to me in year 2010. But, as per my diary, I did not achieve half the things I have written down in my diary as my resolution. Which some of it when I read back, it is still a little far from my capability and it is pretty much out of my power to control if I could actually achieve them. So this year, I am going to crack my head to think of a more proper resolution. Something that I can see the result at the end of the year.

I am welcoming 2011 with a little scary feeling and also a little excitement. Lots changes is going to happen to me in the year of 2011. Will blog about them when it happened to me =)
Let’s summarize the year of 2010.

Jan’10-May’10
Get a new job scope in my current company and working hard to adapt to the new world, working life.

June’10
Started my ACCA finally and took my 1st paper. Attend 2 classes every weeks and surprisingly I did not skip even one class. Good job chyeli =)

July’10
Grandma is ill. Family went into the biggest challenge that I have come across. Quarrelling between my parents, between the brothers (my dad’s bro) and the true colour of all uncles and cousins are all shown to the world. Overcome it. Grandma is stable now though she does not seem to be happy and a little teary all the time. I just didn know how should I describe my feeling toward my grandma. Mayb in a separate post.

Aug’10 – Dec’10
Months of challenge where I have to cope with my study, my family, my grandma and the high and low in my work where am rushing with all the deadline and etc.

Dec’10
A month to be proud of. It can be said as my report book month. All the effort I put through in year 2010 come out here. On my job, my family, my ACCA. So far, it is not in flying colour but it is in satisfactory level =)

Not a big deal of achievement I have in year 2010 but I did build a solid ground in my career in my current office and I think.. I think only, that I have potential to grow here =) In year 2010 also I have started my next future path planning, I have started my 1st step in getting my ACCA. Took my 1st paper and will be continuing in year 2011

What await me in 2011? More challenges and surprises I guess. I am scared but excited as well. Come good year of 2011 for me =)

Happy 2011 everyone..

Memories of Peter Ho

2010-12-23T14:04:00.000+08:00

The fever started when NTV7 manage to invite my dearest Peter Ho to Malaysia. It start few weeks back when Ling told me that my idol is coming. I was super high that day and fb message elyn as I know she also a little crazy for him =)
Well, we make planning for his only 3 days visit in Malaysia. Going to airport to welcome him is a must already

Bright morning on the 16.12.2010, (a day to be remember).. I started my day happily cause I know I am going to meet with my dearest idol like soon.. haha.. whole morning when work, the brain think of Peter Ho.. haha..
Sharply at 12pm, I left my office. Took half day for Peter =) go to Tropicana City Mall to meet Elyn and the bf. Then the bf fetch us go airport to welcome our dearest Peter.
Well, it is obviously Elyn’s luck as her James is coming on the same day too. We can see quite a number of people is there waiting for Peter too. Well, most of them are older than me I should say =)

Anyway, long awaited him finally out =)

he is taking my letter =)

From far away already can see he extra cute.. haha.. he is damn tall too.. well, it is a brief encounter in the airport. lots people as well. but obviously from the picture, i wrote him a letter and when he is going to go out, i shouted his name and passing him my letter. upon seeing my letter, he come to me and take it from me.. Sweet gila.. The charming smile he gave me almost makeme faint instantly. Haha.. After passing him that letter, me and Elyn faster rush to the door so that when he come out from airport, me and Elyn is the only 2 that stand there. Haha.. shake hand with him and told him welcome to Malaysia =) Then follow him to his car and ask him to sign on my album. He took my album and is about to take Elyn's pen to sign on my album but the assistant say cannot.. We are so disappointed and he is so "pai seh" and tell us.. later.. so sorrie.. Faint..
After the airport session, me and elyn went to his hotel, Hilton Kuala Lumpur. We know his schedule for that day and we waited there for him to come out. Apparently his fan is not those gila gila one i think. We waited outside the hotel and only me and Elyn waiting for him there. Then there he go, after a refreshing make-over come out and say hello to us. i can never never forget that smile just right outside his car when he wanna answer our Qs =)
We did not go to OneFm radio station. Instead, we rush straight to 988 radio station. We didn want to trap in jam and take the risk of not being able to see him so there we are.

we are intruders

We are simply trying our luck and being brave. We sneak into 988 office wei. Because we wanted to see him. haha. but we discuss that we should not stand in front of him to acknowledge him that we are there. it is a bit arkward to stand out from a dark corridor and say hie. so we choose to silently watch him from the balcony lo. Then, one of the staff come out and told us that we are not suppose to stay there. The security guard will chase us off. We must leave the building and we say oklo. Because we really wanted to see him. Then we ask her Qs and somehow she told us that she could let us join the fans gathering with Peter wei. Damn lucky and i think i almost wanna faint because of joy =)
We still sit outside the main door as according to the staff, Peter will definitely come in using the main door. so we waited there for him. Then when he come, we say hello. then he look at us and wave back. Elyn told him, see u later. then the way he say "ok".. man wei.. haha..

me and elyn: happy cause can sign our album =)

Peter!!!!!

me asking him question (he must have been looking at me now.. wahaha)

Peter answering our Qs

Peter answering Qs

Peter signing our album

he is making an end for the day

our group picture =)

Me and Elyn was so looking forward for that gathering and we have a bumpy heart that day. As if that heart does not belong to me and it wanted to jump off from my body. Haha. Anyway, before the gathering, he have 988 interview so we were listening while waiting for the time to meet him. When we finally step into the room for that gathering, the room is so small wei.. and imagining that I will be in the room with dearest Peter, heart melt gila gila.. haha..

Taking a lot of deep breath before he finally come in. I got a chance to ask him a Question. Which the Q is originated from Elyn, I was damn nervous wei. U know the level of Chinese I have and then I have to speak to him in Chinese making me nervous add on to my existing nervousness =)
Of course there is the interaction and I have fun =) we chat for awhile, sign on our album and then take picture with him before having him go again. Total 3 letters a day wei =)

me and Peter (handmade by elyn)

his album with his signature =)

I was super happy. Not only I got my album signed.. but I got to take a picture with him too. Although this is just a group picture, I already very very satisfy =) Elyn feel sorry for standing beside him and he make me a picture. It was cool.. I like that picture lots. As if, I standing beside him..
Isn the day ended too beautifully?

one litre of tear

2010-12-10T12:15:00.000+08:00

i guess the above title is pretty familiar to everyone as it is a hit drama quite a no of years back. i did not watch that drama when it was very hit back then. and yes, silly me, watch it yesterday during my exam leave. just a day to finish the whole drama.
of course, as expected, tears fall continuously and i could not even control them. like what her sister say, if i were to get such disease, i would not know hot to face the world.. i would not know how to smile to the world.. i would not know how to hav the courage to go to school.. i would not know how to care about others feeling as that moment, i would think that my feeling would be the most important things in the world cause i am the sick one..
of course, to have such a positive thinking, positive mind, she have to have supportive families and supportive friends around her. probably because of all this elements, it molded her to be who she is back then. i would definitely wish for a chance to meet this girl in person. probably not meet but to just look at her how she face the world.
what i like the most is "we are not the only one in pain".. when we always complain the world mini-est problem or sadness and we are complaining we did not wanna live and etc, but here people are trying to live and trying to fully utilize her life in order to help people and not just wasted them. how many of us can do so? one in million i guess..
i wanted to read the above book. i did not know if i could search it in the market. but i would try to look for one that translated the original diary. if not, i shall learn how to read in japanese. haha. i do think big. what also i wanna learn. but this is life rite, it didn limit us to stop learning at what stages. as long as we have the interest, i believe we should pursue it.. this would not be in my recent resolution yet. but i would not forget that i wanted to read u.. i will mark it in my "to read book".. i believe.. my mini library, some time in the future (i could not guarantee when) will have this book in the rack =)

aya,
you might not be able to read what i am writing to you already. didn know where you are now. whether if there is re-birth thingy or you are still staying in heaven, watching your love one, i just wanna say, i am impress by how you look at your life. of course, this isn something you are facing yourself. i do believe, the roommate of urs is a great person too. just that she did not have the fate like you to show to the world how this illness torture someone or probably it affected you the most cause you were the brilliant student and the stud that excel in the sports. being beautiful and smart and you were force to forgo everything you love in this world, and the way you bring yourself to face everything and the impact you have brought to everyone.. your sis, asou-kun, dr.mizuno.. this 3 being affected the most by you i guess. of course, it wouldn work if you do not have such a great family =) i am proud of your sister and brother seriously. i wish my bro and sis would love me as much too.
you would agree with me, mum being the greatest person in the world. guess it hurt your mum the most when she could not do anything to help and see-ing you suffering. i salute her, aya.
i believe, you do still live in everyone heart.. and you will live on forever like how u say before you die =)

regards,
chyeli

the doctor says..

2010-12-07T12:22:00.000+08:00

well, when we were younger, we believe what parent say.. i mean they didn trick us on purpose but they just want us to be good i guess and learn all the good things instead of the bad one.
last time, daddy used to say.. "get sick already, see doctor then take medication, everything will be fine.." at that point of time, all of us is still so young, we wont be thinking we will be dying or there is any illness that unable to be cured using medication or after a doctor visit. until when we grow older, we started to learn more about the magical and miracle of life, at that point of time, i guess all of us understand that, life isn in our hand.. it is all belong to god and he determine how our life going to be although a big portion of it are determine by us, but we could nvr figure out the final result on our own =)
daddy brought grandma for a doctor visit yesterday. well, nothing much doctor can do to her condition. no medication nothing to help. it is all to god now. The doctor say, grandma's mindset is back to kiddo. we have to treat her as a kid now.
You know what the saddest part, it is when my uncle drive her around in the car, back to her old house, she seem ok. but when the car reach outside my house, she struggle wanted to come down like a small kids. and when my uncle did not bring her down and insist on going back to my uncle place, she cry. it hurt when i hear she cry. i know her for my whole life, my grandma is definitely a strong person. when grandpa die, when her sis die, she did not shed a tear. but to shed tears when seeing my house.. it mean a lot to me, i think she miss us.. some part of me wish that she is still her.. she is still having her own thinking eventhough she is paralyse due to the stroke.
how i wish there isn something call stroke in this world. either dying or live back in this world..

it does not only hurt her.. it hurt everyone that love her as well =(

ntv7 star life concert

2010-12-05T23:28:00.000+08:00

my entry passes to see Peter Ho

super happy today cause it is my first time i go for an event to get tix for an event.. the above is my entry passes to see my peter wei... i cannot wait but to see him.. now need to concentrate on my study before i can see my Peter.. haha.. Elyn, Jiayi and Meifenn, cant wait for the date.. wahaha..

grandma

2010-12-03T23:00:00.001+08:00

it has been ages since i last share on my feeling toward my grandma..i did not have the courage to write anything here. can say, i didn wanna feel sad ba... and i am still putting hope on things that might not be happening anymore.. but still, i carry that hope in my heart.
but reality is reality. i have to face it eventhough i didn want to face it. Grandma is not consider sick anymore. As someone suffering from stroke, she can be consider ok. However, the grandma did not want to coorperate with us making everyone's life like hell especially my aunt that taking care of her. She has been undergoing continuous acupuncture service and western doctor visit. physically doctor and the acupuncturist say that she is fine. she is healthy and she is getting better. But, reality is she isn getting better. probably she is giving up. she didn wanna cooperate. she has been screaming all the time, just like mad lady.. she is torturing everyone mentally..
Until today, my mum told me that we need to giv her medication in order to let her sleep.. to let her not screaming.. What i should do? i really dunno. Last time, i always tell myself that i wanna keep my grandma around me, wait for me to get married. but if she were to stay like this, my heart sour when i see her.. it would be cruel if i say i wanna end her life, but if she were to live this way, i think i rather let her go. not for the sake of everyone of us, but for the sake of her.. seeing her life this way everyday make my heart painful.. serious serious..
God, can you please advice me??

the wedding dinner

2010-12-02T00:36:00.002+08:00

This is the main purpose we are back to malacca. It is the wedding dinner for Ah Bi cousin sis. Start rushing and preparing right after the 'thousand layer cake search' trip. The wedding dinner is held in a school hall. It is pretty normal for them to organise their wedding in school hall. Of course we would not be able to see it here in KL. i think it mostlikely due to the space of the restaurant they have in malacca is limited (forget to snap picture of the venue)

upon arrival, we SS-ing (lots more picture uploaded in FB)

me and daniel @ the dinner

me and sis @ the dinner

my family with the bride @ the dinner

me and the youngest cousin @ the dinner

sis, jacklyn and me @ the dinner

after ss-ing we went inside and have our dinner but still we ss-ing again. sorry la.. we didn take picture of the ceremony. not close with the bride to be actually. haha..

the ladies cousin @ the dinner

the boyz cousins @ the dinner

soon's bro & sis @ the wedding

the group picture of the day

after the dinner, we still take a couple of picture outside. a bit reluctant to go home.. missing all the moments

mummy with her 2 precious daughter @ the dinner

after the dinner, we went straight to my ah yi's house and change before heading back to KL.. eventhough i did not study this weekend, but i am having fun.. it is rare to have this opportunity to hang out with the cousins =) am waiting for the coming one. Jogoya is the next station.. wating for the cousin to keep in touch with me =)

thousand layer cake search

2010-12-01T07:46:00.000+08:00

you guys have to pardon me. i am not a trained food blogger. when i am home only i realise i did not do what i am suppose to do as a food blogger. (well, i am not =P) so, i did not get the address of the shop. sorry to those who want to have a try there. instead of getting me giving you the address, include me in your trip, i shall bring u there. i remember how to reach there.. haha..

this trip start when my sis ask my cousin bro, daniel to bring us there. we went right before the wedding dinner. and i am the driver as i am the eldest.. sad but true.. haha..

the shop is located opposite dataran pahlawan and behind mahkota parade. that is the only info i can provide if you were to ask me..

the 'thousand layer cake' shop

it is not in my expectation that we have to queue just to have a slice of cake. the shop attendant told me that we have to wait at least for about 30mins before we could get a table and have the cake. i even ask what if pack, then he say "you still have to wait about 30 mins" (=.=).. we have come so far, so we waited lor..

6 flavours: coffee, original, double choc, choc banana, yogurt rum&raisin

close up for one of the cake

after the long awaiting 30mins, we finally got our seat and we ordered 6 pieces. why is it call 'thousand layer cake'? can you see from the picture that the cake is layer by layer?? it is one thin layer of cake and one thin layer of the mousse i think cause i dun feel it as a cream though.. i believe this something hard to make =) lots effort is definitely a must. well, this time we miss the tiramisu.. i believe i have my next target. all the flavour seem ok. the original flavour is good. no wonder people always say "it is always the safest to choose original flavour"..

daniel and me

me and sis

kelvin, me, sis and jacklyn

we have a long photo session before we finish all the cake (more pic can be seen in FB).. it is actually really fun. well, that is the 1st time me going out with my cousins. unbelievable but it is the truth. well, we stay in diff state and we grow up in a diff environment =) but i seriously enjoy. awaiting the 2nd time cousins.. haha.. one of them mentioning jogoya is the next station.. i wonder when will that be?? haha..

Forget to mention the most important part.. the cake is RM8/slice =)

cousin sis morning session

2010-11-30T00:07:00.000+08:00

da yi youngest daughter getting married. last weekend i went back to malacca for the ceremony. but the official ceremony will be in dec. this weekend is just the ceremony for the girl side relatives and friends. it was a weekend to spend with mum's side families. well, we didn communicate or keep in touch much with them, beside my mum contacting her sisters.. we, and the cousin, is not that close. but of course, there is about 3 familes not including mine, we, the children are pretty close with each other =) this is the chance where everyone of us get to gather. but of course, the only things i dun like is comparison.. haih.. where they will compare who's prettier, who's smarter, who's more capable, who has bf/gf and who doesn have??? all this actually is Qs that i dun like. anyway, when there is such gathering, all this is things that we cannot avoid..

the closer cousins and we

me, sis, jacklyn and kym

the girl cousins that is there for the ceremony

well, it was pretty entertaining to manage to keep up with each and everyone of them. we have fun and i think they too =) times flies.. and we are growing up.. haha.. well, after all this sister getting married, attention will be focusing on me, i think, i didn know what i should answer.. even till now when they ask me, when i say i dun have a bf, they will be pretty worried and say i should faster get one.. this is pretty much Qs that i wish i can avoid during gathering nowaday but i am reaching that age am i?? haha..

GO go chyeli..

my current mp3 list...

2010-11-17T17:16:00.000+08:00

currently the below 8 songs has been sitting top in my mp3 list.

1. 需要人陪

2.兩個人的荒島

3.猜不透

4.错的人

5.心疼你的心疼

6.寂寞寂寞就好

7.就想赖着你

8.只为爱上你

9.突然好想你

especially the 1st 4 songs.. haha.. not that i am in love with anyone or that i have heart broken or anything. more to, i dun have anyone ba.. and envy people can feel love and feel sad too.. at moment like this, i wan to have this feeling. desperately wan it, but i know i can be as selfish, self-centered person. i wan to have the feeling now, i wan people to care now, but at the moment when i feel i dun need him.. i wan him to leave me.. almost immediately i wan him to disappear.. i am that bad u know. was this the reason why i kinda destined to be alone?

nothing happen to me. just a 'wu liao' thinking. it just appear when i have nothing to do and just reading. or mayb i did watch too many drama.. wish people around me can be like those lead male actor in drama. eventhough i wont know what i wan in the future but he will stay right beside me and wait for me.. reality?? haha.. i have no one awaiting me. people seem to giv up hope on me easily. get that feeling after having few feelings. think about it, i wonder sometime if my heart is made of steel.

probably this is another reason, everyone thought i have plenty of friends, life fill with joy and happiness.. no loneliness and etc... bz bz and bz.. meeting people, gathering with people.. but sometime, i feel double the loneliness people normally would feel. why? i didn know how to elaborate. songs seem to be my best companion currently =)

I am so into Leehom..

2010-11-08T01:22:00.000+08:00

Sepang Gold Coast - teambuilding

2010-10-18T12:31:00.000+08:00

Date: 8.10.2010 until 10.10.2010
Venue: Sepang Gold Coast

This is the yearly teambuilding/excursion if we did hit our monthly reporting. This year has been different. i have been working in the same company for more than a years. All i can say is time flies. Human to human relationship in my company are a little awkward. the environment isn something i think/dream that i will be facing in the working environment. People around are harder to meet and harder to have heart to heart talk i guess.
Well, this year i feel different. could feel that i can bond with them closer. this teambuilding create lots opportunity for everyone to know each and everyone better. I bet all of us have fun and have a deeper understanding on how each and everyone is right now.

royal gamma-ian

it was a fine weekend when we are there. we were spilt into 2 groups and above is my team members. i am the selected leader where it did shocked me to dead as my finance manager is in my team. haha, but still i have fun.. just dun enjoy him calling me boss.. haha..
we did cycling, volleyball-ing, canoe-ing, wind-surfing and surf board paddling (infact, we did not paddle.. it is difficult to stand on the surf board, to lift my paddle, i felt straight into the sea)

finance team =)

of course there is arguement. well, where there is people there is arguement. however, as long as we enjoy.. it doesn really matter rite? the above picture is the team that we work together as a finance team =)

after the 3 days, i somehow feel belong to the company. after working for a year. it is pretty funny i know.. but, i did not feel the bond within each other.. i always thought that after working we will have off office dinner, drink and etc.. but in my department, hmm.. i guess i choose to remain silent.. anyway, hope things will be getting better from time to time =)

loneliness

Today Myfm share an interesting topic. They were mentioning if we will feel lonely if we eat alone, shop alone or even watch movie alone. They also mention, people that are doing everything alone, either they are enjoying to be alone or they do not have much friend.
What am i? i actually feel both. sometime i do enjoy being alone. especially when i am angry. That is because i didn wanna make someone else angry at me. at the point when i am angry, i am super bad mood and people that close to me will get all the anger la.. but if i am sad, i dun wish to be alone. it will make me feel more sad.. it is kinda like god is telling me i am alone or something like that?
Everyone around me love to say that Chyeli have many friends. Did i? Because i still feel all this loneliness on my birthday, all the special event. that was the period i feel extra lonely. Other day i still can work and online or even read.. but on special occassion like Christmas, Valentine's Day.. damn.. i dun like to spend them alone.. But being a person with lots friend, loneliness is what i felt when all this special day visit me =(

Eventhough i can live all my myself, enduring all the loneliness, I am afraid to be alone in the future. i am afraid that i have to live all by myself. i am afraid of loneliness.

Telling lies

2010-10-04T08:28:00.000+08:00

Interesting topic today i hear from Myfm. How often do we tell lies? i doubt that one's would never ever tell lies. But there are people that tell lies and feeling guilty about it and there are also people that tell lies and feel nothing about it. Which categories are you guys in?
I think i've been in both. Well, i should not be sharing who i did lie to before in case that person did come to my blog for a visit. But i never mean any harm with the lies i have put through. if you know me, you will know i am not such a person. Person i lie to normally are people i dun really call them as my friend? or i find them using me, why should i giv them chance anymore =)
Well, the guilty part i think it happen a lot when i lie to my mum. it is not that i wanted to, but i just wanted to spare some nagging and make her less worry. She ah.. cannot sleep if she worry too much and will have migrain. but i nvr mean harm mummy. i tell myself to try to be honest with mummy, but sometime, it is just seem like a habit. Well, hearing the matter today through Myfm i find it really true. and i was thinking while i stuck in the traffic, what if my daugther or son do that in the future too.. it make me scared as well.
so, should make it in my reso next year that i shall be honest with my mum =)

a letter for u..

2010-09-30T08:14:00.003+08:00

Dearest XXXXX,

It is time to pack you and store deeply at one of the deepest corner of my heart/memories.
All this while I am not certain bout my feeling toward anyone or even to you. I didn know what it is to like someone or love someone. Or I should make it clearer, I didn know in what condition or how would I feel to love someone.
I didn know why I would have fall for you at the very beginning. Because of you, I have set barrier and min criteria on the next person that I am going to meet after you. Where can I find someone to replace you that I would not compare and still feel that you are better than him? Reason I stick single, izzit because of you? I didn know the answer myself.
Mayb I do still love you, I didn know. But after this, I am certain that I should put you away, mayb once awhile retrieve back the memory for the sake of remembering you and the journey I have shared with you. I should be happy and glad that you have found someone better. I didn regret letting you go. You did not change at all. You still place everything in front of u before your gf. But I get to know more from the last 2 conversation I have with you. I didn know the burden that you hold is that much. I couldn see how much your gf is willing to stay beside you, at least, she is better in handling the situation that I have once faced with you. I could not take it and she can. I always wonder, if I did not let u go previously, how will we end today? but that is silly rite? Even if I know the answer, we would not be able to turn back the time and go back to the time I said that. You know what, I was hoping you will chase me back after I say the ‘breakup’ words. I hope that you at least will change a little for me. Mayb I do watch too much dramas. Things inside the drama, often dun happen to me. I was sad once to let you go. And I will sad again this time cause I have determine to completely stored you in the memories and not putting hope to you again. It will be long. But definitely I will able to put down this matter in the future when I am away from Malaysia?

To the GF, I will let him go and wont stand between you guys, though I know I did not have the power to stand in between you guys. Cause I know him well too. He is just not that kind of guy. He wont betray you. It has always been me, liking him alone. He has always been a nice friend. I wish you well with him. And I mean it. I will attend the wedding if he invited me =) I will be blessing you guys. You got to lock him safely with you ya? Take care of him and treasure him. Wish you both happy and give me some time will ya? Even if I promise I wont steal him away from you, I didn wanna end the friendship I have with him. That is the only thing I have left with him. And I wanna keep it. So as long as I am still meeting him or contacting him, it will require me longer time to let him go. You will understand that rite?

Goodbye precious memory...

1Malaysia Weekend Getaway Part 4 (Ling's birthday)

2010-09-29T08:09:00.000+08:00

It is still the 3rd day of the trip. This just happen in the evening. After meeting with Yueh Yng, we went to Phui Fang's house rest and bath before heading for dinner. At 1st, we wanted to go to this stall that sell 'tom yam porridge'.. sound special rite? it is.. cause i also nvr taste before. Haha. But unfortunately, it close on that day we wanted to go. so instead we went for the Thai food, Kun thai seafood rest i think. if i not mistaken la. to try out their thai food =)

the tomyam

the vege selection

lala with sweet & sour sos

pandan chicken

steam fish

fried ice cream

above are all the dishes we tried. Actually it taste pretty ok. Just that, it is expensive. guess how much is a kg of crab? Back here, we can get RM28/kg wei.. but how much they charge us in Butterworth itself u know?? RM50/kg wei.. almost double (=.=)
Anyway, there is this annoying guy that dine with us today as well. hmm, i think he might have some feeling toward my kawan baik.. but please la, if u didn impress me, do u think i will help u to talk good in front of her? Just simple categorised him as not friendly and no manner..
anyway, enough with that complain, the main motive is to celebrate Ling's birthday. The environment seem ok ok only. So we choose another destination which is called Blogger's cafe.. it is cool. A bit wish there is such cafe in KL =)

notice that the drink n baju has the same colour??

"i wish i am getting married soon =)"

the group that celebrate her birthday

me n the best friend =)

Pretty amazing night with the singers in the cafe. i enjoyed with the singer too. he sang my 'amazing grace'.. haha.. not many singer can do that =)
anyway, i wish dearest pal Happy belated birthday since when this posting come live, the birthday is over for more than a week =) we do enjoy ourself.
And if u take not i did complain about a guy? he is the one wearing stripes.. i think u will be able to spot him.. haha..
After the celebration, off we head back to KL

It is such a memorable journey because travelling together with my matrix friend and i have not been seeing her for a very very long time. yet when we get together, we just talk.. non-stop =) this is the miracle..

1Malaysia Weekend Getaway Part 3

2010-09-28T00:28:00.000+08:00

today is the 3rd day of the trip. When i open my eye, Hui Li is here with foods =)

Hui Li & Tze Tzin

one of the special Jelly in Penang (forgot the name)

this is one of the jelly that you can only find in Penang. And whole Penang, you can only get it at the foodcourt beside Tunes Hotel which i forgot the name of the foodcourt. It is nice. Can be categorised under the desert category i think =)

Coconut Jelly

Then the next item is the coconut jelly. It is impressive. When you eat the jelly it feel like you are drinking coconut water, but instead you are actually eating jelly. It is definitely awesome =) Thanks Hui Li for the amazing dessert in the morning.. haha..

curry mee

prawn mee

hokkien char

popiah

cendol

after the dessert, we check out from the hotel. then we go to the foodcourt beside Tunes Hotel and have our breakfast. The above is the foods we have order separately and i have ordered the hokkien char.. it is awesome.. definitely not because i am hungry.

me and Hui Li

Kmpp Mates

It is so nice to gather. and i have miss everyone a lot. After working. Things change. People changed and environment changed. So i miss that lots.. Impressive is even when we didn see each other so long, when we sit down, we can just talk non-stop =)

we parked for an hour, the machine charged us RM6366.00

When we exit, the above machine shocked us.. Haha.. anyway, it is just stupid. Anyway, i managed to drag ning sing with us to Butterworth and off we go =)

yam rice and the pork soup

we are meeting yueh yng and soo li for lunch. I have been dreaming this yam rice for ages. And finally thank god, it did not disappoint me. It is still nice.. haha..

Assam laksa @ Sentosa, BM

Rojak @ Sentosa, BM

After the yam rice, we went for 2nd round. a bowl of rojak, a bowl of assam laksa and a bowl of beef noodle. only the beef noodle disappointing. The rest. Nice =) Then we go Yueh Yng house for a short rest before continuing our journey =)

group picture

later that night event is ling's birthday.. Shall wait for it =)

1Malaysia weekend getaway part 2

2010-09-27T16:56:00.000+08:00

At 1st we have made arrangement that Ken is going to be our tour guide. But because we intend not to disturb him, we go and travel around ourself =)

Quite a no of years ago, when me and the friends study in Penang, we once visited the island and stay near Gurney. Based on the memory, we know opposite where we stay actually have a very nice "Lam Mee". With the help of the map, (actually we survey ourself also.. the map didn show this particular shop route)

Finally with the familiar automobile shop and disco, we recognise the shop, we found the nice "Lam Mee". Cheap and nice.. we share 2 person a bowl cause there is a lot of things we wanna try still. After this, we continue again =)

we at the esplanade @ Penang

We were looking for a beef noodle recommended by ling's boss. So we were travelling around to look for it. As it is near the pier, we drive to the Fort Cornwallis but we did not stop for a visit as my kawan2 say it is sunny and they did not wanna visit. So, the esplanade is the only picture we have.. then, we travel to look for beef noodle =)

the buah pala drink

the nice beef noodle

the fried oyster

We found this small corner shop because of the bomba right opposite the shop. Well, i asked the Shell station worker direction for the Bomba, he was looking at me, as if it is too strange for me to ask for the Bomba direction. Anyway, thanks to him, Mr. Shellman, we found the bomba and the shop. We order 2 of the famous thingy. The beef noodle and the fried oyster. Honestly speaking, i dun like beef noodle with 'kuey tiao' but sad to say, that is the noodle they serve in Penang. I like the transparent 'lai fan'.. that is available in KL and Johor. Southernn part of Malaysia. but the soup is yummy =) Then the oyster fried is diff. Instead a bit 'lembik', this type is the crispy one. I find it not bad but cannot eat the oyster. Too little ba.. =P
Then, off we go to Kek Lok Si, next food to try is "assam laksa" =)

Assam Laksa @ Ayer Itam

I always like the assam laksa near the market near Kek Lok Si. Cause i remember it taste really nice. But this visit pretty much disappoint me. I dun find it as nice as it used to be. The soup is not as 'thick' as i once tasted. disappointed is the only word i can offer =(
Then we hike up a little to buy some 'buah pahala' and the tambun biscuit with yam and sambal belacan flavour =P

the tambun biscuit from 3 famous shops

In the end, we have jam up the car back 'boot' with all sorta biscuit from 3 famous tambun biscuit shop in Penang. The total value for the items in the car boot at the end of the day is RM300. hehe.. Because all of us was so full, we went to Queenbay as we are going to meet up with one of our friend there =)

we are from kmpp.. see the penang bridge at the back??

we arrive at Queensbay =)

we sing k at Neway @ Queensbay mall

Because we have to wait for Yueh Yng to meet us and there is still plenty of time, and we have yet try to sing k with tze tzin. So while waiting for her, we sing k. she is one of my unimate. long time didn see her. it is so nice to be able to catch up with her =)
Then we head for dinner together. This time with additional members too. It is all Ling's friend and guess what.. We did not take a group picture after the dinner.. LOL..

"Lala cooked in sweet,sour and spicy sos"

the selected vege

sauna fish is the name given for this dish

'kung fu char'

salted egg crab

The above is the dishes we ordered for the dinner at somewhere near bayan lepas ba.. the rest name is 'hai boey'.. not really nice la.. and expensive.. the crab cost RM40/kg wei.. in Serdang, we can easily have one with RM28/kg.. almost double lar.. and small some more.. (=.=)

After the dinner, i meet with meng horng.. then go back sleep lor..

The journey is not ended =)

1Malaysia weekend getaway part 1

2010-09-27T09:27:00.000+08:00

We have been planning for a weekend getaway to Penang with my KMPP buddies. We travelled there with Ling's viva. Stop at the 1st station which is Ipoh town at about 630am. We have been looking forward to try the Fu San Dimsum which have been heard from everyone for quite some time.

some random dimsum we tried

the famous dimsum shop in IPOH

My comment toward the dimsum is, the food is fresh HOWEVER, it does not taste nice at all. I am not a picky consumer. But the dimsum is just not my cup of tea =) I didn wanna write bad about it to avoid me from being sue but another comment is, if you did read my blog.. The worker is so damn rude. though probably all the workers everywhere is rude. but this is extra rude i found. So, improve if you want to..
Meet up with Chew and visited to Kelly's Castle.

Kelly's Castle

ling, me and tze tzin (kmpp buddies)

I have not visited Kelly's Castle though it is one of the places of attraction in Malaysia. So, we departed and have a look there. Spend some time and walk around the castle. Well, the castle is a castle built by some rich merchant from oversea. Mean ah-mo la.. then he die before the castle is completed. After he die, the wife did not continue with the castle and it was left emptied. He is rich as it was supposed to be 6 stories tall but the building is halfway stop at the 3rd stories.

Journey to the West

Then we stop by at one of the famous temple in Ipoh. Nothing much, just to delay some time to eat Chicken rice.. But still at the end, we did not eat cause the dimsum really irritating. I kinda just lost appetite to eat anything =P

rojak buah @ bigtree, Ipoh

Because of the lost of appetite, we went and have a drink and rojak buah instead.. Nice.. hehe..

the queue to soyabean stall

famous soyabean @ Ipoh

We were introduce by a local to try the soyabean. The queue is there, both human and cars. So we packed 3 packets. Guess that is not a wise choice. we should have taken that on the spot. Then, we travelled to Parit Buntar to picked Siao Hui. Then off we depart to Penang looking a room to stay (I know, we went without planning.. that is just so not me rite? I guess all i can say is, I am tired )

tunes hotel, penang

Thanks to the help of one of my friend in Penang, we booked rooms at Tunes Hotel. Check in and unload our luggage and off we go for lunch. Praying that we will have great meal in penang after the nightmare dimsum in Ipoh =P

big prawn 'char kuey tiao'

Just opposite the hotel, there is this lorong selamat. We are saved as there is various of stall there and it is pretty much recommend in the magazine and leaflet. (thanks to Ken for all the leaflet he provided to us as it has been such a useful kit for us to explore Penang) We have choose The sisters fried kuey tiao at one of the stall (highly recommended by Ling's boss). Mayb we are hungry or mayb the dimsum effect, the fried keuy tiao is awesome =) thumb up for it.. haha.. but it is RM7/plate.
After the satisfying lunch+teabreak, we went back to the hotel, bath and take a rest before dinner. We have make plans with Ken, Hui Li and also Kai Li =)

"oh jian"=oyster fried eggs

Introduce by tze tzin, there is a nice "ketam bakar" in Tanjung Tokong. Too bad when we were there, the ketam bakar finish dy. so instead we tried the oyster fried and also the udang bakar. The udang bakar got some kind of weird smell. but they say not bad lar.. they said.. haha... but the fried oyster is awesome.. this is Chyeli say de =)

the chee cheong fun with prawn sos

Then because only eat this 2 dishes, where got full wor.. so we go and have something else lor.. Go to one of the hawker stall in Pulau Tikus. If u ask me bring you go there again, i wont know how to go there.. haha.. but the 'chee cheong fun' is famous de.. and so coincident i ask for 'chee cheong fun' too.. problem is, the 'chee cheong fun' in penang is not like the 'chee cheong fun' in kl.. their 'chee cheong fun' use 'prawn sos' de.. it is sticky and erm, the 1st bite is not bad.. 2nd, is ok.. 3rd bite still ok.. 5th bite, a bit jelak dy.. haha.. it is just not my type =P

that is the end of the 1st day =) the journey is to be continue....

my raya..

2010-09-12T23:49:00.000+08:00

i admit i did not have a great day on fri. therefore, the blog appear. but things get better for me on sat eventhough bro send me a sad msg but, the peak is high, but the view up there is beautiful.. therefore, i should try my best to get my butt up the peak.. even if things seem to be a mess now, i know some time in the future, i might able to touch their heart.. it is made of flesh rite? =)

anyway, it has been a long time since my family gather together and go out. on sat i manage to gather everyone but unfortunately, my bro decide that his friend is more important. nvrm, i know someday in the future, i will be able to ask him to come along.. i just need some time.

i brought my family to see my grandma before we head to nearby jusco for an hour leisure walk.. then we head to subang for seafood. daddy has always been someone that like to bring us go out everywhere. but when we grow older, he didn seem to bring us anywhere anymore. anyway, we are there at subang. and finally i feel a relief cause everyone is there. though, parent are still not talking to each other and the laughter is seriously different, but at least we come out and create opportunity, when there is opportunity, then only we can have hope rite?

the picture below is the seafood market in the restaurant, it look so organise and it look cool.. the restaurant actually has a beautiful environment, but i did not capture that moment, just forget =)

the seafood gallery

the signboard showing "it's fresh"

the wanted to be eaten lobster

then we selected our dishes for the night and of course, below are the dishes that we ate..

the juicy juicy 'lala'

the grill mantis

the steam mantis

the RM180/kg fish

the salted egg snow crab

the food serve is not bad and pretty fresh. among the dishes i seriously love the 'lala' the most. it is the juiciest and the fleshiest that i have seen in my life.. i 'thumb-up' for this one =) the second should be the fish. it cost bout RM180 as it is near to 1kg. the flesh is seriously different and it taste awesome =) but when u eat and u know the price, it kinda hurt.. haha.. then it come to the snow crab.. i wont say it is awesome but it is not bad. cause i didn seem to taste anything diff from the normal crab and it is so so expensive. that plate kinda cost us RM380.. wanted to have lobster but too few of us dy.. mayb next time =) then come the mantis lor.. hmm, it is pretty normal and most restaurant have it too =)

but i come home satisfying.. didn get them to talk or improve anything.. but i know i created a chance and i did remind them that we are a family.. and i have yet giving up =)

even if i haven manage to change anything but, i am proud of myself and my sis.. at least we did try..

I love you daddy, mummy, sis and also bro.. i know non of u guys will b able to read anything from here.. i just wish u guys know even if i didn say it out loud to u guys..

challenges showering me..

2010-09-11T02:52:00.000+08:00

i just wan a perfect family. those that will have dinner together, go for breakfast together, sometime once in a while go shopping together, go vacation together. am i too demanding?

i am tired.. i am tired of being the only one that try to build what people call as perfect family.. i am seriously tired when i am the only that worry if my family is going to break. i am tired that i am the only one that try to create opportunity for everyone to get together or mayb know each other more, but i am also the only one that will be disappointed when they do not bother, do not care about me..

continuous disappointment and sadness will only push me to dead end.. please dun do this to me. i promise myself, when i am numb, i am going to be away not taking my identity. that is when i am giving up on the world, family anf everything.. off to start a new life all by myself..and i am swearing that i will not be using my name..

Dun Push Me to the DEAD END...

"Daging Salai"

2010-09-03T11:17:00.000+08:00

On the 1st day of the Puasa month, I was given a ‘daging salai’. The story on how the ‘daging salai’ is given to me I will not be posting it here since the issue is pretty sensitive especially when we are suppose to be in the 1Malaysia country. I didn want to be dealing with any legal cases with something I have blogged just to make myself feeling better. (so, the secret safe with me, and friends that know, keep it to urself then)

Today I am just sharing on the payment of the ‘daging salai’. For someone as innocent as me, who didn receive before, I have problem trying to pay for it. It is pretty complicated as it is said that we can pay in Pejabat Pos, which is the 1st place I went to settle it, indeed, she tell me pejabat pos cannot pay yest as they did not have that service (=.=)

Then, after seeking of advice from one of the colleague that I should be making payment at the ‘bahagian traffic’ (I didn know that it should be the police station bahagian traffic) So, she just tell me it is hard to get parking and near a bank. So, my another colleague drove me there. So I was queuing at JPJ. Where when u step it, the view is like mountain people mountain sea. I make sure I ask if I want to pay saman how? And he giv me a no which I have to wait another 120 no. Great! So my lunch one hour is not enough to make the payment. Therefore, I plan to go today morning instead. So, I was there this morning at 7am. At 8am it is my turn. Well, the lady at the counter say (loudly somemore) that it cannot be paid here and traffic have to go to police station =( I told her how they tell me it is possible to make the payment here and she shouted even louder. Hmm, guess I should make an exit..

It is so embarrassing and I am so disappointed. At that point, I think I understand why others are not going to pay. It might be not because they dun wan to. But the instruction is not clear and every other service are so selfish they didn wanna help. So, with disappointment, I drive away and wanna head to work. Guess god is by my side since I turn and saw police station. So I kinda just turn into the police station and ask them where should I pay the ‘daging salai’. Thank god that the police say here. Park my car and paid. IT make me have few days of sleepless night and kinda cause at least a big bowl of tear drops from me. I am thanking for the ‘daging salai’, dun think I want another piece please. Thanks but no thanks =)

Off to work with a smile on my face =)

marriage isn just for 2 persons

relation can involve only 2 person. that is because that moment there arent any commitment and there is still pure love in between the 2 lovers. things will change when it come to marriage. (this doesn not come to my mind until currently) All this while, i thought that marriage is just for the 2 love-birds but i guess i am wrong. We can get married without anyone permission and approval. but right after the marriage, can i still say i live only for each others?? how bout each other parent till that? i always think, it is ok for the in-law to not clique with the daughter-in law. but till now, i think, will i wanna stay with my son in-law or daughter in-law if i dun like them? will they be peace? and etc..
it should be my time to worry about all this. not tat i am getting married. it is just that i am sick of being in between of problem marriage i should say??

taking deep breath and running away from the problem is my current solution. taking a deep breath and long thinking before heading back to the problem i guess.. just give me some time to think. i will come back..

Will I be able to just runaway from everything i have. Run away and start a new life not turning back to acknowledge what my pass will be? Will I be able to let go all the friendship that i have build? Will I be able to be ungrateful to my parent? Will be able to start a new life without naming myself Soon Chye Li? Will i be happier then? Will i forget how once i been in a middle of everything and it hurt?

Dun freak out. This is the question that appear in my head yesterday night after facing with some issue. No one is perfect but sometime when we have to deal with others issue, it tend to tired me out. When will it be the time i am living for myself instead of living for others? when will be the time that i am selfish enough to just care for myself and not others? What did i get with those endless caring i gave to my love one., my dearest one? hurt is the only thing i get in the end. As Suat Yee has said in her blog, we cant just accept happiness in our life, we must accept the sadness as well. But enough is enough. Dun let others be the burden of your problem and cant you just stop hurting people around you. Stop being so cruel torturing me as i felt the torture and it push me to dead end. i didn know how to do now.. where are u guys pushing me to? Is this the way the both of you wanted to say you guys regret and didn wan me anymore?

I need strength. More strength and more forgiving to deal with this.. Just borrow me some anywhere, or just mute my senses? so i can be feelingless?
