Ribena

吃完晚饭后,看了看报纸, 看到这则广告,顿时有点感触。
Ribena是我从小至今喜爱的饮品。在我成长的过程中,Ribena也一起成长。从普通的黑加仑子,再添加维他命C, 然后再有有气(添加二氧化碳)的Ribena....。 连包装也一再的改进。
看到这则广告时, 感到有点开心,因为黑加仑子终于找到它的伴侣了!可爱的柠檬… What a perfect match...
那我呢?!!?

Sleeping Dogs...


Trying to figure out, why all my dogs at home sleep with this kind of funny position?

Egyptian Pound

Some of you might wonder what the currency in Egypt is. All the while I thought they were using USD. Apparently, Egypt’s basic unit of currency is the Egyptian Pound (called a ginay in Arabic and written as £E or LE). Currently rates at around £E11 to the pound sterling, £E6 to the USD, and £E7.75 to the euro. As of today, one MYR= £E 1.6612. Egyptian banknotes come in denomination of 5pt, 10pt, 25pt, 50pt, £E1, £E5, £E10, £E20, £E50 and £E100. Interesting…..

My New Books

My new recipe books. I like to read recipe books and i have lots of those books. E.g. 100 ways to cook an egg, 100 ways to cook tofu, 1000 ways to cook something....I have the habits of collecting recipes from magazine. So 女人... i have whole range of collection. I like to read recipe books and of course, i would like to try to cook some of the dishes too. However, i seldom do it in KL since that kitchen belongs to my mom. My mom said my "Malay Kou" (马来糕) taste delicious. Somehow i did make once 2 months ago. Not so successful, and i decide to give up for the time being. I should be venturing into cheesecake next time.

My new travelling books. I am going to Egypt end of this December. It is high time to do some preparation.... really looking forward my trip to Egypt. I am going with my mom. After Egypt, i think my next destination is either South Africa or India.

This is one of the book by Richard Templar, The Rule of Work. I have another one, The Rule of Life. I will probably buy the rest of the Rule once i have digest these.

失而复得

The first thing in the morning when I reached office today was to go around the place all over again and hope to find my mobile phone. Of course, I can’t find it. When I reached my table, I saw a note saying that someone found my phone and has left it in the security counter. I am so happy. I know this hardly happen. Normally people will just keep the phone to themselves. So I consider the lucky one… 失而复得 的感觉真好… Tomorrow I will call to Maxis and ask for the phone book backup service. Everyone should ask for that service too.

I lost my mobile phone!!!!

I lost my mobile phone!!!!

People steal it? I don’t think so. Since I am still able to call through my mobile phone before I blocked my SIM card. Hopefully I have just misplaced my mobile and hopefully someone will sent it back to me or to the relevant lost and found counter if they happen to find it. Anyway, the chance is slim. So what I can hope for is to think of what phone to get.

Come to think about it, the most valuable things in my mobile are the contacts stored in it for years. Mobile phone is always replaceable, but some of the contacts, if you lost it, it could mean you lost your string of attach if the other party do not take the initiative to call you….

On the bright side, I will soon have a new mobile phone. On the down side, I lost my contacts, I need to folk out money to buy a new phone and need to adapt to it again….. sigh…..

When i was writing this, it reminds me about Ah Tee who lost his mobile phone too...sigh.....

1st day in Bangkok

Today is my first day in Bangkok. Remember my last trip to Bangkok was last November. That was a training course for new promoted Managers for Ernst & Young. This time, I come here to attend a Train the Trainer Course in Project Risk Management.

I arrived in Bangkok around 2.30pm. I stayed in Pan Pacific Hotel, walking distance to HP Bangkok.

The first place I went was “Chatucak”. It is really a big market where I walk till I get very tired. I spent 1.5 hours there. I went to Siam Square and MBK to do more shopping after that. I can’t believe I spent quite a lot of money in such a short time frame. I had a Tong Yum Gong set for my dinner.

2008 The year of Rat arriving on Feb 7th

Not a good year for me....

SNAKE

General
This year is a better year than the last, but there is still a lot of instability lingering around. On the bright side, there are many people who will help you or give you the opportunities along the way. However, there are also rather severe people problems this year. There are many back-stabbings, betrayals and even direct confrontations. You will have very good wealth luck this year, but at the same time you might suffer from an obsessive and compulsive behavior when it comes to making purchases. You tend to get obsessed over certain items and do not mind overspending or engaging in impulsive shopping sprees. Due to this behavior, it is going to be difficult to accumulate wealth this year. Another aspect to take note is that there is a high probability of falling ill this year.

Career
Office politics can prove to be rather painful. Even when there are opportunities given to you to implement your plans or when you have nearly reached your goal, there will be someone who will try to block you from success. Be careful of how you deal with them. Avoid direct confrontation and try to get more support instead.

Wealth
Though your money luck is good this year, you will tend to overspend this year. You will find yourself easily engaging in impulsive purchases or indulging in shopping therapy. Try to have a good look as to how you spend your money. You might have difficulty in accumulating wealth and even spend more than you earn. Be aware that it is always good to save for rainy days.

Relationship
For those who are attached or married, there is a high tendency of quarreling or going into cold wars. It may be partly due to the high stress caused by your work. Another possible cause of disputes is due to gossip or people who want to place a strain on your relationship. Ensure that you have good communication with your partner and do not get into a quarrel due to hearsay. For those who are single, you might not be in the right state of mind or emotion to be in love. Hence, even if the love of your life appears, there will be great hesitation on your part and you may miss the opportunity.

Health
Not good. You tend to have injuries such as sprains or fractures this year. You are also more accident prone than usual. If you need to drive, please ensure that you have adequate rest.

People
There are severe people problems this year. There are many irritating people that might obstruct you from your goals or make life more difficult for you. Beware of betrayals, back-stabbings and misunderstandings. Avoid getting into direct confrontations with others and always appear to be nice. Your temperament may be very unstable this year and will attract more people problems. Try to control your temper.

Actions
Place a Vanadinite in your wealth sector. Put a metal gourd in you health sector. If you are driving, you need a Chan Chu Wealth Toad for your car.

Lazy Weekend

Normally, my weekend will full of programs. Even if I hve nothing to do in the weekend, at least I will go to the gym. However, this is just a very lazy weekend for me. Don't feel like doing anything. Piano lesson, going out for dinner/ lunch with mom and family, other than that, I just spend my time at home. What a couch potato…

Siblings

I get to know that my brother’s best friend, Lau Sang Yew sister is one of my colleagues in HP. Her name is Lau Cin Yee. I know Sang Yew when I was young. He is my brother’s primary and secondary school friend. Sang Yew took good care of me when I was studying in Australia.

When I talk to Cin Yee today, I noticed that she and her brother look alike in certain ways. By looking at the appearance, you can tell that they are siblings. Noticing the way they talk, you can find a lot of similarities. However, when I come to think about me and my brother, you hardly know that we are siblings. We look very different, of course I am pretty and he is not so handsome. We act totally different. Somehow, I don’t think we have any similarities. Don’t understand.

Just like Rebecca and Jessica, they look identical (they are twins), they act and talk in a similar way. Their voices sound the same too….

Jessie Hiew and her sister Freda Hiew…. Somehow, all of them you can relate some traits in them, and conclude that there are siblings….

Lai Sook Chen Wedding Dinner

I have attended Lai Sook Chen wedding on 29 Sept 2007. Sook Chen is my 学妹. We used to stay in the same room for few years, she is always a 乖乖学妹。

During that wedding dinner. I have met up with few secondary school mates that i have not seen them for more than 6-7 years. I am glad that i met them in this wedding dinner.

叉烧捞面


我钟爱叉烧云吞面的热潮有增无减。昨晚和妈妈去Sungai Besi, 吃了叉烧, 冬菇鸡脚捞面。 今天中午去了Concorde Hotel 吃早点,无意中又点了叉烧云吞面, 实在是太好吃了….现在提起就想吃。
吃到一半,有位弄气球的人,为小朋友们弄各种不同形状气球。我看了好久, 觉得好可爱,厚起脸皮也向那个人要了一个花儿似的气球,绑在手腕上, 然后又要了个是贵妇狗的气球。真的不好意思,和小朋友们一块儿争玩意儿。。。

My Saturday

I have fully utilised my Saturday.

10:00 Wake up in the morning

10.30 Path Lab medical check up

11:30 Gleneagles consultation on previous medical report

13:00 Vista Vision in The Curve for optical check up
I suspect something wrong with my right eye. Sometimes I saw a small little black spot when I look at white surface. The test starts at 13:30, and complete around 4pm. Of course in between there are a lot of waiting time. Wait for doctor; wait for the eye drops to take effect. My eye test result is alright but some exception comment from doctor. Just need close monitor. In fact I am considering doing lasik for my eye sight. How I wish to have a perfect eye sight. High chance of me for doing that, it is just a matter of time.

16:20 Late lunch/ High tea The Curve 迎客楼

17:00 Walk walk in Ikano Power Station and Ikea
20:30 Dinner at Sungai Besi 全蛋面

21:45 Practice piano at home
22:30 Fetch sister to “wet”, then I went to 记得吃 in Jalan Imbi to buy 糖水
23:30 Shower and rest…..

Lunch Box for sister


Lately, my sister likes to bring lunch box to office. She said she wants to save money since she is going to Taiwan in the beginning of November. I am the one to prepare her lunch box. I like doing that. Normally the dinner on the night before will serve as her lunch box. Today my sister said she don’t feel like having rice. So I fried noodles for her instead. I wanted to sprinkle some spring onion for decoration. But no more spring onion at home…. Anyway, it tastes delicious…. My sister in-law have it for her supper too.

Lunch - Korean Food

Met up with Thomas Lim, Siew Hong, Jessie Hiew and Hon Ling. Yummy yummy Korean food. Forgot to take the photos of the food. Too busy chatting and eating....

Yoke Meng's Wedding Dinner

I know Yoke Meng from a diving trip in Sipadan (June 07). Dennis introduced me to Yoke Meng. Since then me and Yoke Meng became diving buddy for each other. We click very well. After i am back from Beijing, me, Yoke Meng my sister and Dennis went for a diving trip to Tioman. It was a stay on board diving trip. We have a great time together.

Still remember, after the Sipadan diving, it was Jason (His hubby now) who came to pick her. It was the time they started (or going to start) their relationship. Less than a year, i got her wedding invitation. I am really happy for them.

The wedding dinner held in Serdang 喜来登. No grand hotel, no grand ball groom. But the food was much better than anywhere else. Me and Dennis have the same feeling. I really enjoy the food.... hehehe... and the karaoke session by the uncles and aunties all night long... It is nice to meet up with some other divers too, Stevie and his wife and Kit仔.
