周杰倫十二新作 Jay 'Opus 12' (playlist)

Happy 12-12-12

Wishing everyone a happy day on this 12-12-12. ^_^
I love celebrations and this is definitely a day to celebrate.
I still remember I used to wish that I can get married either on 8-8-8, 9-9-9 or 10-10-10, but that was just a wish. I still believe, maybe someday, I will be living happily ever after with someone I love.

I wish everyone happiness and filled with joy.

Special day, trying out new food. My friend bring me to this restaurant called Journey2Life, where they served vegetarian meals. I tried the J2L Hor Fun with gravy and veges. We also ordered Cheesy Ball, and trust me, it's super delicious for a cheese lover like me. (too bad I forgot to take photos of it).

I'm loving this Cupido

Hi, I'm Cupipi, the perfect match for Cupido

Together we are 1 family

After work, tapao Dominos and was planning to view the sunset by the beach. Mana tau, something unfortunate happen. When paying for the pizza, my phone slipped from my hand, and landed on the floor. Omg... I thought nothing happen because the screen didn't crack. But when I view the screen, the display became haywire. Everything was a mess, there were lines of colours on the screen and I can hardly see what is displayed. So I quickly go to Bukit Jambul to get my screen repaired.

The first shop I go was Digi. It was a stupid thing to do as I believe they don't repair phones, but somehow I proceed and ask whether do they repair phones. The guy replied Yes and told me the cost is RM300. And he said I need to leave my phone overnight. I was reluctant as I need my phone today, so I told him I'll consider first and I went up to the 1st floor. The first shop I see was a repairing handphone shop. I went in and asked. The guy told me to change the screen cost RM270, which I try to get discount and he gives me the final price of RM260.

I remembered that I was waiting for my friend to call me when he reach, but because the guy told me it was a quick fix, I allow them to do so. While waiting, somehow, my friend manage to find me in the shop and we waited for the guy to repair my phone. Imagine, this piece of LCD screen cost RM260. The guy mentioned that luckily I'm not using Samsung SIII, else replacing the Samsung SIII screen cost RM500++. @.@.

The unfortunate iPhone4 screen, RM260 to get it replaced

Due to the sun has already went back home, we change our plan to go somewhere and have our dinner instead. So we decided to go Straits Quay. Eating and drinking Chatime. ^_^. Not to forget to take a photo with this Christmas tree, the first time I see this tree was back in year 2010, 2 years back. Still standing tall. =P

Domino all time favorite - Banana Kaya dessert (but today bo banana one?)

Celebrating my 12-12-12 in Straits Quay

Next agenda, movie time. It is Wednesday, so definitely going for a movie. ^_^
We went to TGV, 1st Avenue for The Life of Pi.

It was 12am when the movie ended. So quickly go back home and have a good rest.
That's how I celebrated this special day ^_^.
Good night everyone.

Good night

Random updates

My hair grows quite fast and this is me when attending Project Management Training (taken this shot during the bio break, not during lecture =P).

It's November already. Time really flies. 

This post is really random, just have the urge to write down something, though it really don't bring any useful information. At least, at this very moment, maybe I feel typing something on the fly will help my moody feeling. I'm confuse, myself. 

Brand new me

It's a brand new me again, new look... shorter fringe 9th October 2012 with Irene. =P

Memories

Just keeping a memories of myself, my look in September...

Suddenly the song "Wake me up, when September ends.." flashed into my mind.

Duh... it's already October now.

Wake up and get back to work.

Hahahaha... =P



My look after back from friend's wedding dinner



 

Green Day - Wake Me Up When September End

You Are Everywhere

Soothing, Calming, Beautiful Song


Big Baby Driver - You Are Everywhere (A Gentleman's Dignity OST)
빅베이비드라이버 - You Are Everywhere (신사의품격 OST)

I know something's gone awry but I feel like going on
I know I could be wrong but I also could be right
And I feel the earth is turning faster before I saw you there

I feel the sky is spinning lighter before I saw you there
And I see the things are not the same again
Cause you're here cause you're there cause you're everywhere

Now I know how my times can be still in the way
Hope this could last until we find brighter days
I know how my times can be still in the way
I hope this could last until we fade away

I know something's gone awry but I feel like going on
I know I need to say good bye for I'm off for the brand new days with you

Mixed Feelings

Tomorrow will be my last day in office. After 7 years of working here, it's finally the time to wave goodbyes.
There's excitement looking forward to the new job, new career path, but on the other hand, there's also a feeling of sadness, leaving behind all my friends, peers, everything that I'm so familiar here.

I had a few farewell sessions with different group of friends. I really do enjoy hanging out with them, and I feel that I'm blessed to have so many friends around me that cares and always there for me.

Yesterday my ah lui (Tze Kee) came over to Penang and join in one of the farewell session with my other teammates. She passed me this special photo frame with photo compiled from part of our gatherings and hangouts. I'm so touched. I don't know what my heart is feeling right now. It's all mixed up. Happy, excited, sad, 不舍得... Somehow, in our life, at a certain point of life, we will somehow move on to our own path.

So, yeah, I should be looking forward to my new path and advance towards it. ^_^
Thanks to all my friends and colleagues and managers for the wonderful experience and journey that has helped make me successful at what I do throughout my career all these years.

Random updates

I know its been a while not updating this blog.
Life's been busy lately, projects after projects, catching up with friends, learning new stuff... (the list goes on).
Anyway, here's the update of me.
I think I'm getting a bit slimmer nowadays, and trying to stay young...

Have a great day there and stay cheerful always. ^_^



** These photos are taken in Vintage Bulgaria, a restaurant in Tanjung Bungah.
The environment is cosy and it's great place to hangout with friends too.

My friends recommended the Pork rib there, and we grab the groupon deals for this. Yippee...

Had a fulfilling meal of the day plus chit-chatting session.

New Me, New Hairstyle

Yesterday went for a new hairstyle change with my cousin. Previously we bought the coupon deal from Everyday.com.my: "Hair Styling for RM58! cut+wash+blow+hair treatment+(rebonding/digital perm/steam perm/coloring/highlight) @ JV Hair Saloon".

I go for rebonding while my cousin sis go for hair coloring... and the end result? Tada... I look like a soh poh... usually first few days will look un-natural and it will look better after 1 week (I hope)...

First take after rebonding

Olivia Ong - Sweet Memories

Very soothing song, calming

Nelly - Just A Dream

I was thinkin' 'bout her, thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us, what we gonna be
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream

So I traveled back down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realized, yeah
It was only just a dream

I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement
Number one spot, now she found her a replacement
I swear now, I can't take it
Knowing somebody's got my baby

And now you ain't around, baby, I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got that ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair

My lover, my life
My shorty, my wife
She left me, I'm tight
'Cause I knew that it just ain't right

I was thinkin' 'bout her, thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us, what we gonna be
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream

So I traveled back down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realized, yeah
It was only just a dream

When I be ridin', man, I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryin' to get my Usher on but I can't let it burn
And I just hope that she know that she the only one I yearn
For, moreover, I miss her, when will I learn?

Didn't give her all my love, guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club, thinkin' all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough

I'm goin' through it every time that I'm alone
And now I miss her and wishin' she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong

I was thinkin' 'bout her, thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us, what we gonna be
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream

So I traveled back down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realized, yeah
It was only just a dream

If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
And now they gone and you wishin'
You could give them everything

Said if you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
And now they gone and you wishin'
You could give them everything

I was thinkin' 'bout her, thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us, what we gonna be
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream
So I traveled back down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realized, yeah
It was only just a dream

I was thinkin' 'bout her, thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us, what we gonna be
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream
So I traveled back down that road
Wish she'd come back, no one knows
I realized, yeah
It was only just a dream

連詩雅 - ''I'm still loving you''

What can I do to make you forgive me for my mistakes?



When I close my eyes I think of you
And the times we've had been through
Even though we're far apart right now

I remember back when you were here with me
How you've made my world complete
But now I'm left alone

We talked about love and hope
Wishing we could start a life our own
I wish that I could live without you

# Why did you tear my heart apart
You said you'd love me from the start
All those painful things you've put me through
But I'm still loving you

I've tried to give my best to you
I don't deserve the things you do
Everything has gone to memories
I just wish I knew the truth behind the lies.

Repeat #

I Love You

Because of my firm decision, I have lost him.
Now I'm sure of myself of my feeling, but it's too late.
You are the apple of my eye



【那些年，我們一起追的女孩】電影主題曲《那些年》
演唱：胡夏／作曲：木村充利／作詞：九把刀

又回到最初的起點
記憶中妳青澀的臉
我們終於來到了這一天
桌墊下的老照片
無數回憶連結
今天男孩要赴女孩最後的約

又回到最初的起點
呆呆地站在鏡子前
笨拙繫上紅色領帶的結
將頭髮梳成大人模樣
穿上一身帥氣西裝
等會兒見妳一定比想像美

好想再回到那些年的時光
回到教室座位前後　故意討妳溫柔的罵
黑板上排列組合　妳捨得解開嗎
誰與誰坐他又愛著她


那些年錯過的大雨
那些年錯過的愛情
好想擁抱妳　擁抱錯過的勇氣
曾經想征服全世界
到最後回首才發現
這世界滴滴點點全部都是妳

那些年錯過的大雨
那些年錯過的愛情
好想告訴妳　告訴妳我沒有忘記
那天晚上滿天星星
平行時空下的約定
再一次相遇我會緊緊抱著妳
緊緊抱著妳

Finally, photobook ^_^

Yeah, today submitted my photobook to http://www.photobook.com.my/ for printing. ^_^
This photobook mainly consists of my travel photos taken last year October 2011 in Korea with my colleagues. The due date for the coupon is today, given by my llm, which makes me kinda rush in preparing this photobook... from compiling photos, thinking of the photos arrangement and on the wordings.

Below is just a quick preview of the cover, I'm using the readybooks template as I'm too busy rushing for projects and stuff and merely have time to design my own photobook layout.

Cover for my Large Landscape photobook from http://www.photobook.com.my/

Anyway, have a great day ahead and stay happy always.
I'll always wish you happiness.
Love you llm ^_^

Dolphin sickness

What is dolphin sickness?
I watched TVB drama Bottled Passion and the doctor mentioned about dolphin sickness...
I'm worry I have dolphin sickness too.
Help...

Follow the heart

I still love you

Be Home For Dinner

Was watching this drama series and feel touched by the storyline.
It's about family and how one can be strong despite of  having imperfections.
"One Pair Sport Shoes Journey" blog... very meaningful.

What's Most Important

I'm very tired, my brain is exhausted...
Been working till late nights for the past 3 weeks, rushing for project deadline, entailing new requirements and bug fixes after the migration of new framework and new ways of code implementation.

I promise myself after the completion of this project, I will take a 1 day break to relax whole day, doing nothing while regenerating back my energy.

Love what you do, do the best you can.

I love my job, but the amount of tasks vs time needs to be balanced.
I guess I'll need to arrange my time well so that I can get the extra time for self improvement.

Tomorrow will always be a better day full of exciting new things, and yeah... tomorrow will be the day for a new installation build. =P

Realization

There comes a point in your life when you realize:   

Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past,

There's a reason why they didn't make it to your future

Being together

There's a person, that will always beside you.

Whom will smile together with you

Whom will cry together with you

When both of you are together, time seems to fly very fast.

When both of you are apart, you felt the loneliness.

With the feeling of happiness shared when both are together,

Is this called love?

I need a break...

Time for a visit

I've been having back pain for 1 month plus now.
Sitting down and getting up is starting to be a problem.
I really need to get my leg up and go for a visit in the doctor's clinic.
I need physiotherapy and back massage.

CNY Eat Play Sleep

Chinese New Year, a festive season to celebrate by all Chinese. It feels great to have a long holiday and eat, play, sleep as much as you like. Hehe...  It is also the time to go around visiting relatives and collect Ang pows.



Ang pows photo from friend



Ang pows are monetary gift which are given during Chinese New Year. I believe they symbolizes for luck and prosperity. As year goes by, ang pow collection are getting lesser.

And the usual "When are you getting married?" questions will popped up by relatives

Mmm... usual answer will be:

• Wait till I am ready
• Haven found the right one
• Let other cousin goes first

It's the 3rd day of CNY and some may have already started working. As for me, I'm taking another 2 days off for me to eat eat play play and sleep sleep.

I just got back from Queensbay watching "Journey 2" in 3D. It's a story about an adventure of finding the mysterious island and his grandfather. Overall, I love the 3D effect and it's adventure. Hehehe...

I'm going off to another CNY gathering soon. Wish I had more time to go around visiting all my friends and family.

Adios, love you all. ^_^



I'm getting chubbier nowadays... need a diet plan after CNY =P



When you least expect

Some thoughts running through my mind...
Some unexplainable question.
If you have hurt the same person before more than once, will he/she forgive you?
If he/she still treats you good, and you sense it, what should you do?

I've hurt people before and getting hurt too.

It is really not easy to be able to recover from it and move on.
Or maybe I should say I'm a person that changes easily and protects myself too much.

Sometimes, life is really unpredictable.
When you expect for something, nothing happen.
But when you are not, there's always something out there.
I guess thats why there's a saying that goes like this:
"It'll happen when you least expect it."

Anyway, I believe that staying positive is the right way to go and my motto will always be
"Don't worry, be happy" ^_^

Happy Chinese New Year

Wishing eVeRYoNe twelve months of happiness and prosperity -- a lot of both!

Auspicious Day to Start Work in 2012

2nd week - Tang Yuen week

Second week, blood donation to save life. Followed my friend to Hui Yin Seh Air Itam centre to donate blood. My blood type is B+, it's be positive. Haha...

This week is a fat fat week. Had 4 servings this week. I love tang yuen, its really yummy. Can't resist but the mind keep on sending signals of yummy yummy rice balls to the brain.
One of the shop is Sugar Dynasty: http://www.sugardynasty.com/.
My sister bought the coupon for Buy 1 Free 1 Glutinous Rice Ball for RM4.20. They had a lot of different taste flavour paste inside the big glutinous rice ball (cheese, chocolate, peanut, sesame, etc).

The one that has been my favourite is Tang Yuen stall opposite Traders Hotel: http://penang-tangyen.blogspot.com/. The price starts from RM2.20 (small) - RM5.50 (large). They usually open from 7-12am.

Our team had "Siu Kang Jiu" at Bukit Genting, Penang and also celebrate farewell for one of our colleague. "Siu Kang Jiu" is done annually to celebrate the closing dinner and acknowledge all our hardwork before the coming of CNY. In Hokkien dialect, it means "Closing of Work". The restaurant @ Bukit Genting are famous for Thai food and you can enjoy nice scenery view from the restaurant there. As I'm sick, I need to control on the food intake and didn't really take spicy food, although I love tomyam a lot.  

View from Bukit Genting

One more week and it's going to be Chinese New Year. Last minute shopping to welcome the new year.

It's time to get ang pow again. Mmmm, hoping to escape the "usual" question by the relatives... hahaha...

First week of 2012

First brunch - Toasted bread with chicken floss and extra cheese

First week of the year, started the first Monday with a sumptuous dinner @ Tao Cuisine, Egate with friends, known as ASKS gang. My friend Banana Chew came up with this group name for us, taking inspiration from F.I.R. band. As 3 of us used to hang out like buddies, we can form a team of ASK. If take out the K and replace with S, it will be left with ASS. Is kinda funny how creative Ah Chew can be.

After resting for about a month, I'm back to jogging and exercise again, 2 times this week. ^_^

A good start for the year. Hopefully I can shed a bit of chubby fat from my face and reduce some kgs, currently still weighing at 55kg.

Good news for the year, my llm delivered her baby boy, Luke Yam and he weighs 2.7kg. Both mummy and baby are safe and healthy.

Baby Luke - 4th January 2012

Met up with my bestie Hooi Peng for dinner and had our gift exchange session. I gave her Cupido and she gave me a pinky basket which I can use to put my cosmetics stuff. Thanks HP.

Forgiveness is when you can let go of the anger and hope for good things for that person.

Cute mimi



Welcome to 2012 ^_^

New year, new beginning, new wish, new hope, new journey.
I'll write my own story this year. ^_^
Travel blogging experience coming soon...
