Bandar Aceh, Pulau Weh (Indonesia) | Mar 10 -14 (Part 1)

When I inform my boss that I will be taking leave for a diving trip in Bandar Aceh, the first impression was…. Is it safe to go there since everywhere is having earthquake and tsunami. My mom has the same impression and she was really worry. For me, I did not think too much, it just a diving trip. Moreover, during tsunami, divers are the survivors.

The first day we arrived in Bandar Aceh, the taxi driver shows us around the city. Bandar Aceh was badly hurt by tsunami back in 2004 December 26. The taxi driver shows us a boat which landed on top of a house. You can’t really imagine how scary it was back then that the water can raise a boat to that height.


After the first site, the taxi driver brought us to another site. That was a huge metal ship. An electrical generator ship. We were stunt when we saw the ship. It was big, huge, and humungous. The ship was 4-5km away from the sea. Sure the huge ship has done a lot of damage to the locals back then.

Masak Masak....

Look at those toys the children plays nowadays. So cute and real... i cant resist myself and play with my niece together....
check it out....



Friend from Beijing - Cindy Mu

It was a business trip for Cindy from Mar 28 - Mar 31, she and her other colleagues extend another 3 days and make a trip to Kuala Lumpur.

I cant spend a lot of time with Cindy as i was a bit tight up with works and was too tired for that week. I am glad that i have a chance to meet her up.

Cindy is one of the first colleague i know when i was working in Beijing. Remember the time when i was transfered to Chengdu for a project. We stay together in a room and sleep on the same queen size bed. There was another room in the rented house but the heater was not working and there was a big hole at the wall where the u can feel the cold wind blowing into the room. Hence we choose to squeeze into a room and share the bed.

The accomodation of the stay in Chengdu was not a pleasant one. Water will turn cold all of a sudden while i am having my shower half way. Cindy have to help me to watch out on the water heater and same for me i have help her to make sure the water is heated and keep heated when she is having her shower. We work overnight in the small little bed room during winter. The heater at the room was not strong enough and we have to depends on the blanket heater to keep us warm. We cant work at the living hall as it was damn so cold out there.

I was new to the brand new environment and everything was a culture shock for me. Cindy helps me a lot to walk through those hard time. Good that after our manager knows about our condition. Our team was put in a 5 stars hotel on the same project at chengdu on the next year

We spend so many ups and down together.... and those are the bit and pieces that i will remember for the rest of my life.

First you need to steam the sweet potato. Add some sugar and mash it. See, the picture looks like sunny side up.

2. Tong Yun with nian kao inside

3. Peanuts and brown sugar to coat tong yun....half way frying the peanuts


All turn out to be delicious :) Forgot to take the photos of the end product.
Noted those small little tong yun, those are specially made for my niece in law : )

Starting of CNY

When i woke up in the 3rd day of CNY morning, i notice my body has a lot of red dots. A bit itchy and wondering what's wrong with me. The best thing is to visit a doctor. Last time i don't really like to visit doctor because it incur cost and i just dont like it. Now, i am slowly changing this thoughts, early prevention is better than when the situation worsen.

Doctor said i allergy to something. Straight away, he gave an injection. Ooohhh... that was a pain one. Some allergy, anti itchy pils to eat and lotion to apply. Within 15 mins after the jec, i felt dizzy and sleepy. But i have lunch appointment with frens.

I took the med too....i suppose i need to finish the med since the red dots have not subside. But i felt my heart pumping too fast and not smooth in my breathing after i took the medicine. I cant really sleep last nite because i felt uncomfortable on my heart. So i decide to stop the medication today.

Not a good start for CNY. My sister hurt her leg on CNY eve, a very deep scar when she sliped and fall herself on the stairs. Did not really bleed, but it was still bleeding till today. My mom hurt her finger when she accidentaly slap the car door while her finger still there. (dont know how she did it). Bleed a lot. I got skin allergy and took a jec on the 3rd day of CNY.

CONFUSE!!!!

Last time I don’t really understand when people talk about the feeling of pre-wedding, now I kind of understand and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

The sense of insecure is something that bothers me. I will tend to compare now and last time. Why he do this last time and not now? Since he don’t do this now, will he become worse after we married? Why man can’t just maintain the way they treat their partner? I am drilling into details lately. Is he my Mr. Right? Is he the correct one? Am I going to spend my life with him? I get a little bit confuse. Am I thinking too much? Am I asking too much? I am really scared something bad will happen to me? Something bad that will ruin my wedding…the something bad is the inner me and confusing me lately…Few more days left before my Register of Marriage. Am I making the right choice? Grrrrr……Hate this feeling... the feeling is bad because it is calling me to pull the break....I am really scared.

I don’t expect him to read my blog and know my feeling through my blog. Because I know when the whole world has access to my blog or came across my blog, he is the only one will not read my blog and don’t even keep it as a “Favorite” unless I force him to read. The reason being he claimed he knows everything because I wrote about my daily life and he spent that with me. Not entirely true. He don't spent my inner me with me.

I think the only thing i can tell myself now is: 理想和现实,永远是两回事,知足常乐...
CONFUSE!!!!

婚礼

经常对自己说,我的婚礼要从简。我和关先生说好了20桌酒席,男女家一起摆,只请亲戚和要好的朋友,同事一个都不请。(这个计划已是超过我们原定的从简)。人算不如妈妈算,我对她说, 我只给她2桌,妈妈说不够,要请谁谁谁… 然后她说要5桌(不包括亲戚),还说25桌和20桌没什么分别。我突然觉得,又是为妈妈摆的一个婚礼,讨厌!!!!!!!迟些妈妈很有可能对我说,30桌和25桌没什么分别….. 如果她真的这么说,我只好让她自己去摆酒席,我就不出席了!!!

工作,装修,筹备婚礼,减肥...

工作,装修,筹备婚礼,减肥... 发生在同一时间,真得有点吃不消。幸好这是由两人一起去承担,不然真的会被烦死...
这一切还没真真开始,农历新年后再烦吧...

减肥,减肥, 减肥....

又要开始我艰苦的终生事业- 驱肥魔, 减肥。
这次的目标是,5kg.感觉上目标可以达成, 但意志上好像不能! 怎么办?
农历新年即将来临,这个时候减肥,好像有点不恰当。所以,现在的起码目标是,新年后不能变肥,要维持体重。新年后得 full force 减肥。
打算,5或6月拍婚照了!

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。
