New Year Eve Celebration @ Dec 31, 2009

We have a new way to celebrate new year eve this round.

I have booked a "Luk Luk Car". Everyone eat around the car. The car is very well equipped. Beside the normal way of eating luk luk, we can also grill and fried the food. They will be a person standby to help us to grill and fried the food. It really save a lot of hassle of doing BBQ or steamboat at home where i have to spend half a day to prepare all the food. With this, i just need to prepare drinks.

The food i ordered this time can cater for 40 pax. But i only have around 12 friends this round. My mom invited the rest. The minimum order is RM650 per car (to gohtong jaya). The car i ordered cost me RM800.

We celebrated new year eve at my gohtong jaya house. Weather was cooling that night (around 18C- 20C). Right weather to eat steamboat. From far we can see the fireworks from Genting.

Group of Friends (Far right, my mom)

Proposal on Dec 24, 2009 @ Hanoi Halong Bay

It is a plan surprise by Mr Kuan. A simple yet surprise wedding proposal. I did not expect at all that day is the proposal day. I accepted his proposal without much hesitation. It is a simple, cheerful and warm love that bonds us together. I am glad and hope that this love can maintain and last till the day I die.









Special Thanks to Dennis and Pek Kee....

Staying in Hotel

It has been a long time since I am staying hotel all by myself. My department is having a 4 Days 3 Nights kick-off event. I am one of the organizer, hence I have to be here (Hard Rock Hotel, Penang) early to make sure everything is in proper order. Hence, before the group (and my room mate) arrived. I can occupy the room all by myself.

I have no problem staying alone. Well trained during the time in Beijing where me and the team have to spend months staying in hotel. In fact, it is rather awful staying in hotel for such a long period. However, I still prefer to live in group. Being alone makes me feel lonely although I know how to handle those feeling. Works, internet, TV, songs keeps me occupy.

Another long week ahead....

Hiccup!

当你hiccup的时候，你会怎样让它停止呢？我一般会尝试喝多水，尝试憋着气， 但全都没用，只好让它不停的hiccup直到他自己停为止。

刚刚看了港剧富贵门，当hiccup时，被吓之后，hiccup自然而然会停止。以前也听别人说过这个方法用得着，问题是怎样才会被吓呢？
昨晚wedding dinner 时喝了酒，回到家就不停的hiccup。Mr Kuan说好不好他来吓我。我也不和他多说。心想，疯子怎样吓我，要吓我概嘛还告诉我，我已经有心理准备了。
很快的，在我没意识到的时候，他一回身装着手上拿着壁虎要往我身上抛，我吓了大喊一声。很以外的，hiccup竟然停了！真的非常以外！也非常好笑！怎么在有心理准备的情况下还会被吓到，真笨！
起码证明了，这个方法是用得着的。

Lasik (Part 3)

Feel great without specs and contact lenses, and i can see clearly.

Remember the time right after my operation, my eye non stop tearing and i cant really open my eye. I asked the doctor is it normal? she said normally patient will start tearing 3-4 hrs later, not so soon. she checked again, and tell me i am alright. But my eye keep tearing and i felt so uncomfortable. The nurse put some anesathic into my eye again. Immediately i felt relief. The rest of the night, i am extremely sensitive to lights. I have to wear sunglasses the rest of the night.

I wonder why my experience after the operation is so different from other people. The operation consider smooth? Not really afterall. The first eye (right eye) was fast and smooth. But when it comes to my left eye, the doctor try few times before the flap was successfully created. Because of that, i felt really uncomfortable. Anyhow, i am ok now. But i really hate the waiting time before the operation. I waited almost 1 hr, doing nothing, no magazine whatsoever. Dressed in pre-operation uniform and wait..... hate it!!!!!

Lasik (Part 2)

After a round of research and price comparison. I have decided to go with Optimax. With the same technology as Vista Vision. It is RM2K cheaper per eye. I have scheduled my operation on this Friday, Nov 20, 2009.

To be continued...

Lasik (Part 1)

I have been wearing specs for a week. A little unusual as i don't really wear specs to front people especially colleagues. But this is what i need to do as i am preparing for Lasik operation end of the month.

This is not solely my own decision. I have no problem in wearing contact lenses and i am so used to wear it. I can wear for swimming, diving, any occasion. Mr Kuan accused me as i am "Dirty" to my eye and done no good to my eye, here comes to pressure and starts being forceful. Beside being forced to go for operation, Mr Kuan partly sponsor my operation : ) Sponsorship is a very good motivation as this is not a cheap operation. Not sure how much it will cost as i need to do an eye test. Only after that the consultant will advice accordingly what kind of operation suits me.

Hopefully all this can end by Nov. So that i get at 4-6 months of rest before i go for my next diving in April in Indonesia.

SkyTrek Advertures - Oct 31, 2009

My second try on SkyTrek Adventure. I orgnised this trip specially for Lorraine Qi. My ex-colleague in Beijing Ernst & Young who come to KL to visit me : )
We tried Extreme Challenge this time (previously was "Big Thrill).... Fun fun fun...i still feel my mucsle aching now....
RM40 per pax, we took approximately 2.5 hours to complete to whole track. It was rather tired at the end of the trail. But we rewarded ourselves with Bak Kut Teh (Tea Bone Rice) for lunch and Durian feast for dessert.... hehehe....

Aquaria, KLCC, Nov 1, 2009

We went to Aquaria at KL Convention Center after our Batu Caves trip.
This is the second time i go. I dont mind go for another time as i really like to see all the fishes especially the tunnel part. It just feel like your are diving in the sea without oxygen tank.

黑风洞之旅 (Batu Caves), Nov 1, 2009

活了整三十年，都没去过黑风洞。黑风洞对我而言是又神秘又可怕的，在我想象中，洞里应该是黑漆漆，蝙蝠到处乱飞，还会攻击人，因为蝙蝠多，洞里应该是铺满蝙蝠屎，应该是很可怕的，所以也没像过去看看。
这次Lorraine 吉隆坡之旅，让我有个很好的推动力去黑风洞看看。我想象中的黑风洞和现实全然不同，景色还蛮好的……

Blood Donation at HP, Oct 20, 2009

Another blood donation campaign in HP (average once every quarter).
This time i got a blood donation buddy...... Mr Ling King Keong.
Mr Ling "seh wong" for one hour and walk over to HP buidling at 11am to meet me up for blood donation. It just take less than 5 mins for him to walk over from his office to HP building.

A lot of people said, blood donation will caused people to put on weight. I am not too sure about this. Hopefully it will not : )

Tire Puncture

I was about to take my shower then I got my sister call….

She keep asking whether something wrong with my car engine. My answer was certain that it is in good condition because I just serviced my car and whatever noise in the car is being fixed. Within 10 minutes, my sister called again saying that she has to stop the car because she suspected the car tire has punctured.

I got a bit worried with her stopping the car to check out the car condition. I received numerous forwarded mails on how people did something on the car to make the driver to get out from the car, then they will rob them and whatsoever. With immediate action, we rushed to her. She is along duke highway.

When we got to the scene, the tire not only punture, it really torn apart and shredded. Guess she has been driving for quite sometime with the puntured tire and it turn bad. I guess the rim shd be in trouble too....


Hero of the night...

Total lost!!!!....

半桶水

身边很多朋友，有了小孩。

有一点我是搞不懂的，大多数的家长都和自己的小孩用英语交谈。夫妻间交谈时用广东话或是华语， 但和小朋友说话时偏爱用英语。我不反对用英语和小朋友交谈，但我是不提倡用broken English 和小朋友交谈。我家人也使用这种方式和小朋友沟通，有时会觉得怪怪的。也许每个人都体会到英语的重要性， 所以想提早训练自己的小孩。

想了想，我们马来西亚人，讲什么话都是“半桶水”。广东话没香港人/广州人讲得好，华语没中国人讲得好，英语没英国人/美国人讲的好….总而言之，每种语言方言，我们都是讲得半桶水， 也许这就是马来西亚人的特色吧！什么 we are multi-lingual….应该是 we are multi半桶水。

My New Hair Style

Months ago i have been thinking that i should make a change to my hair style. The curls are fading and looks frizzy.... Keeping my hair long for quite sometimes, hair is falling because of the length. So i decided to cut it short this time.

The night before my appointment with the hair stylist. I tied my hair and looking at all the hair gadgets i have. Big clips, small clips, hair bands..... thinking that i will need to leave "them" behind for quite sometimes. I was a bit excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because i am going to have a change. I felt a little bit of nervous because i am not the type of people who like changes.

Reached the salon 11.30am. Talk to the hair stylist that i want a real short hair. She advise and render her professional opinion. Then i leave it to her.
Seeing all my hair on the floor..... ooohhh..... but those are damaged hair... a bit sum tong though.


Half way through the process of transforming....

Ta!Da!..... The new me.... Although this is not the style i want (as i want it to be shorter), but i do satisfied with my new hair style.

He cant recognise me when he saw me... as i did not pre-empt him that i am cutting my hair short.

My sister in law and brother saw me, they said i look so so much like her. I asked them who... they said, Fish Leong (梁静茹）:)

Jump

This photo was taken by Dennis in Sipadan - Seaventure Resort.
I jumped down half way from the oil rig. Guess the height should be 10m or more. Approximately 3 storeys high. It take a little bit of courage to jump.
This will be the first and last for me. As i hurt a little bit of my back during the landing. But it was rather fun!.... : )
