...but the bunny escaped

The story behind the name

2009-05-26T06:30:00.000-07:00

Its funny how 1 name can turn into different pronunciations, different words... and in my case, different meaning.

"Stephanie"

All my life, my name could be broken up into 3: Steph-pha-nie & creatively, this is how it went.

"Steph"

Common. Most people I know end up calling me this for short. Even people I barely know.

"Phanie"

A couple of friends in high school called me this.

"Fern Leaf"

I am guessing because of the Pha?

"Stephie"

My parents calls me this. Now even my boss.

"Stif Stef"

1 colleague calls me this. Its a long story. To cut it short, this colleague & a client used to make fun of me. So 1 day, I said STIF! & they said wth is STIF? I said "Set The Innocent Free"! So yes, thats how the name came along.

"Nenek"

Mom used to call me this when I was younger. Maybe cause I was like one.

"Granny"

Come to think of it, some of my high school friends called me granny cause I used glasses.

"Li Hwa"

Yes, my chinese name.

"Olive"

My uncle till this very day still calls me that because I was so skinny "before" (yes before) that he thought I looked like Popeye's gf. & my uncle is a sailor.

There should be more, but this are the ones I can think of.

Now, going into the story behind the name Bunny. Most people wonder why ALL my college mates calls me Bunny. So here it is.

"Panie"

Not PHanie but Panie. My brother & sisters call me this. & also 2 of my cousins.

My sister's ex bf thought she called me Penyu.

Anyway, 1 day during my first year in college, my group of mates came over to my house to watch a movie for an assignment. Then my sis called me "PANIE" & they all thought she called me BUNNY. So yes, simple as that. From that instant, everyone in college called me Bunny. & I got use to it.

If you ever hear my high school mates calling me Honey Bunny, its totally for a completely different reason from the above.

My bf's name in my handphone up till this very day is "Honey Bunny" but no, I do not call him that. When they were going through my hp during school days, they saw it & started using it to make fun of me.

So, thats how the name Bunny came about & thus "I Killed The Bunny"

The End

A after 3 months update

2009-05-07T06:50:00.000-07:00

It has really been awhile since I last wrote anything in here let alone visit this blog. Not sure if I still have readers.

A lot has happened since then. So this will be a squeeze-everything-in entry.

To kick start, the most memorable memory of 2009: My godma passed away & finally returned to him.

It has been 6 years since she discovered she had breast cancer but fought it & got through. A year ago, it came back & was much more aggressive with its attack. To cut things short, she went away on April 16, 2008 at 10.55pm. We were all there with her.

During the funeral mass, I was asked to deliver her eulogy. Reason was:

1. I am her god-daughter. My godma didn't have any children.

2. All her brothers & sister didn't want to do it because they would get emotional & start weeping on the alter.

So, everyone thought I would be the "Cool Cat". Little did everyone know, I started bursting half way & I made all my family members cry in church.

Here was some stuffs I mentioned:

"She was one who never never forgets our birthday & would take the time to call us and wish us and buy something for us. Every year during festive seasons, when we are all back in Malacca, her voice would be ringing in our ears with “Wipe the windows! Change the curtains! Mop the floor! It’s already 10am! Wake up! Get up!” and how we often dragged out feets to follow her instructions and avoid eye contact with her. How during Christmas she knew what we would like for our Christmas presents and during CNY she would say “Soja me & you shall get your ang pow” and because of money, we would willingly do it & give her hugs & kisses. Or when Mervyn slouched as he walked and she would hit his back, scold him and we would all giggle from behind"

Ko Seh, I will truly miss you...

CNY 2008 during visiting. Thats her in bright orange, the shortest among all.

During my Bro's wedding, Oct 18, 08. With her husband & nieces.

CNY 09.

Moving along, occasion by occasion.

One of my really good friend during high school got married on the 1st March. Ms Wendy Choy. The first among us. Even cut Delicia's line who is getting married this September.

Here are some pics:

The girls of SMSJ year 02

Clockwise: Sher Leen, Delicia, Yin Yi, Me, Christine, Su Ting, Siang Ling & Xiao Wei

The guys & girls present.

Everyone including the newly weds.

Wish them happiness.

Another good friend of mine also got married on the 22nd March. Ms Cassandra. Same case as above, she cut queue. Rinee was supposed to be married first but her wedding is only on July 26.

But I am extremely happy for her...

The newly weds.

Love them!

I am 24! Yes, next was my bday on 26th April.

You know how when you were young, you wish to grow up faster & how people at the age of 24 seems so OLD! & we thought the ideal age to get married was before 25. Now that I am 24, it sucks!!

The day before my bday, went to do my hair with the wifey. & I straightened my hair. Yes yes, my hair was already straight why waste money... It wasn't straight, my hair was wavy!

Now its nice & straight. lol

& I bought the best ever bday present for myself!!! My burberry bag... *hearts!*

& the watch was from the boyfriend which I was eye-ing the moment I saw it. *double hearts!*

DKNY delicious from the brother & sis-in-law. Have been wanting this like forever.

& yes... Coach wristlet from the wifey (Yin Yi) & Wendy Choy!! *triple hearts!*

If you realize, everything is gold this days. Kinda like in a gold phase now.

Just last week, went on a company trip to Bangkok! Its a yearly trip & I am still loving it!

Here are some pictures. My facebook has more.

Us at Wat Pho

We went to Sirocco!! The place is utterly gorgeous!!

Okay, thats al folks. Still not really in a blogging mood. Its a hit & run entry.

CNY 2009

2009-01-29T12:57:00.000-08:00

GONG XI FA CAI!

Chinese New Year this year came as fast as it passed (though its not really over yet). As usual, CNY was celebrated in Malacca as thats where my dad is from and relatives are still there. Grandparents are no longer around and my dad has 7 siblings with 6 of them in KL now and only 1 remained there.

To cut things short, its the same routine every year but it never gets boring. On the eve, its steamboat dinner.

On CNY day, everyone rushes for the toilet. The Malacca house is empty and we only use it during occasions like CNY, Christmas (not anymore), All Souls Day, Weddings, etc. So during CNY, there are like 20-30 people in 1 house and thats when toilets are a bit of a problem.

Church in the morning and visiting till lunch time is the routine.

My Family. Big sis not around....yet!

With my Godma

The 2 aunties (dad's sis) & the nieces & in-laws.

Picture of the day.

My sister came down in the afternoon on the first day. Wheee!

After gambling and stuffing our faces, came back down to KL on the 3rd day after lunch at aunty's house.

So yes, that's my CNY. Hows yours?

The best of 2008

2009-01-07T16:03:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009! YOU ARE FINALLY HERE!

Yes, I know I am about 1 week lagging but decided to update my blog today to rekindle my 2008.

Overall, I must say that 2008 was a really satisfying year with full of achievements, memory & joy.

Have decided to do a quick summary on the thinks I can remember that made 2008 a great year.

1. I visited China, Hang Zhou & Shanghai I love the country tremendously!

2. In just over 1 year, I went to Bangkok again for the 3rd time. & wouldn't mind going back there again & again!

3. I travelled around Malaysia with the boyfriend to Penang, Langkawi & a day trip to PD.

4. I had the best birthday in 2008 because I got to celebrate it with every person that matters to me in my life...& all in separate occasions.

5. I bought my very first asset & am still loving it...& cleaning it.

6. My beloved brother got married to someone he has been "drooling" over since high school & she is the best sis-in-law anyone could ever ask for.

7. My best girlfriend got engaged to a guy who fits her perfectly at every corner....& I got to be one of her "hantaran" girls.

8. I met Zang Toi live in person during his fashion show in Malaysia.

9. I met Air Supply live in Genting - which is also another trip with the boyfriend. They were awesome. Now if only Micheal Buble would come down & everything would seem complete.

10. I bought a new handphone & so did the boyfriend!

11. Me & the boyfriend celebrated our 8th year anniversary.

12. In terms of work, couldn't ask for more as well. I got 2x pay increase, a promotion & 2x bonus during mid-year & end-year.

So yup, I hope 2009 will be just as great.

For me & for you.

Cheers!

Secret Santa 08

2008-12-16T19:03:00.000-08:00

It was an extremely busy November for me because of ASIMO - Honda's & the World First Humanoid Robot. So much to say about the "Little Boy" but NOT at this moment because we are still keeping track on his news, looking out for coverage. Don't want my blog to "appear" when searching for news on him. So shall update on ASIMO much later.

Christmas is just few days away! I am officially broke.. Well not just yet but next month cause my credit card has ALREADY exploded! Sigh but its worth it right? Christmas only comes once a year!

The RASCEN's has Secret Santa every year for the past 4 years. & we did our exchange of presents last week (Dec 11). I got Rinee this year & got her a "Charles & Keith" shoe. I loved it! LOL & Cassie was my secret santa & she got me a Chanel mascara! I hope I don't get spoilt by it because if I do, I will need to get it every 6 months & get broke! But I so love the gift!

Looking back at our secret santa sessions, oh how we changed so much! I have the pictures of us during secret santa from 2006-2008 but 2005 is missing. I think its in my CDs somewhere at home.

Take a look!

Italianies, 1 Utama - 2006

TTDI - 2007

The Gardens - 2008

More years to come!

& also more updates later? (i hope)

Happy Bday to the Wifey!

2008-10-30T04:18:00.000-07:00

*Sorry Wifey is this entry seems "rushed" but it is rushed!*

There are some months is a year that is filled with Birthdays every week and

for me, October is the month filled with Birthdays in a row!

29, 30, 31

Mummy, Wifey, the Boyfriend's mummy

So Yin, your hamburger-ed between two mummies!

Here is an entry dedicated to my wifey, wishing her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a run down on memory lane.

It all started way back in Alpha Kindergarten in ss19. We were from the same kindergarten, did our final dance together & even took a picture! BUT I never knew she existed until just few years back when I was looking at my old pictures & realized "How come this girl look so familiar?". & Ta Dah! It was my wifey. What a small world...

So fat hor?

I have to admit then we didn't get along well in High School during F1 & F2. We only got to know each other better in F3, when Wendy was in the same class as her.

Not until during College days when we got closer.

Her birthday at Centre Point, Pizza Uno. Year.... 2003?

Muka babi!

My fav picture of us. At Bangsar.

Wifey was in Penang for about a year & that was the time I missed her the most. I think it was because of that, now we see each other every Friday night.

I was alone in Pavilion, KL waiting for the boyfriend. The Wife came to my rescue & accompanied me.

In Somo

In Laundry

A whole day of shopping in KL! *when are we going to do this again?*

In Goddezz, Solaris.

The Cave. Latest picture we took together.

Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIFEY!

Thank you for just being who you are to me.

Happy Bday to the Mum!

2008-10-29T07:51:00.000-07:00

Hehe Haha Hoho

From now onwards, I will stop saying "It has been awhile since I last blog" because then I will be saying that everytime I write an entry. It might even be my standard opening line or template.

This entry is 1 week overdue. So lets rewind a little bit shall we?

My brother got married last week. It was a really great day, even the

weather was extremely kind to us.

To divert a little bit, I took off from work on Friday (Oct17). In the morning, when I went to my car, I saw something on my windscreen! Guess what....

Can guess?

Its a small little tiny fried fish! hahaha Don't ask me how it got there but I am guessing from the restaurant below my office?

To cut things short, my brother finally got married.

Family picture. More pictures on my Facebook.

Another update:

HAPPY 2ND RASCEN DAY! (October 19)

Won't go into explaining about RASCEN day, maybe another day.

The day we declared RASCEN day. The day we cried all day long because college was ending & everyone was going overseas. This was at Bangsar, Actors Studio.

First year 2007. At Bangsar Montes'.

2008

How much we've changed. & we look so dirty, the after work look.

Love you guys! Muaks.

My Raya Holiday

2008-10-10T23:48:00.000-07:00

I have been neglecting my blog for some time now. Seriously, I have been to busy with work to even think or have the time to update it. So many topics running through my mind to write about.

Lets just start with what I did during my Raya holidays this year.

It was a damn good long 5 days in a row holiday. On Tuesday (Oct 28) night, I went on a "date" with the boyfriend. Japanese food at Hartamas called "Sugimoto" followed by German beer in The Curve.

We shared sushi.

His dish.

& my fattening dish!

I have been trying to look for a waist belt with a buckle! But everytime its ugly, too expensive or toooo big! Finally I found one I like for only RM19.90.

Mmm, German beer...

On Wednesday (Oct 29) night, me , the boyfriend, sis & her boyfriend went to Bar Celona in Sunway. Haven been there before as I heard the crowd there is a bit off but my sis said the music was good. Old school r&b. True enough, the music rocks!

My sis abuses her bf...! Actually she was biting him. lol

I abuse my bf! Actually it was a coincident pic ok!

Yes, I love my sister...

Heart them!

The next day, went to Pavilion for shopping! I needed to get a shoe to match my morning dress for my brother's wedding. The color of the dress is pinkish purple-ish which made it hard to find the perfect shoes. Went into Charles & Keith, saw a lot of shoes I fell in love with BUT only 1 shoe match the dress - To be honest, it wasn't love at first sight & it was one of the most expensive out of the bunch. After quite awhile of thinking & thinking & thinking...I decided to get it.

Here is my new shoe. Nice?

Its even more expensive than the shoe I will be using for the night dinner!

Quote to happiness

My favorite radio station: 95.8 FM - Fly FM

I listen to them everytime I get in the car, especially in the morning on the way to work because I find Phat Fabes and Ben from the Pagi Show super hilarious (Nadia is okay).

Every morning, they have a different topic for the day. Few days back, the topic was "How do you know when you are ready for marriage?". Ben proposed to his gf, Stella in Hong Kong - Oh how romantic and disastrous it was at the same time.

Anyway, reason why I am writing this post was because a girl sms-ed in and said this:

"It is not about finding the right person to love; But it is about learning to love the person that you've found"

Nobody could have put it better in words than that.

Events Oh Events

2008-09-19T11:26:00.000-07:00

Following up on my previous post on September 17.

As mentioned, set-up for our event that night can only be done at 2am. Event was at KL Hilton but we booked at Le Meridien. Reason because it was RM60 cheaper but the room still came up to RM500+ a night! For a small room without breakfast: So not worth it!

Small room but very cozy.

The toilet had speakers hidden somewhere. So when you o the TV or radio, it plays in the bathroom as well.

To jump away from pictures of the hotel for a short while, set-up that night was a nightmare.

All 3 ballrooms in KL Hilton was used that night & they had really massive set-up which took like forever to take down which effected our set-up.

To make matters worst, the security was giving our suppliers a hard time. They didn't allow them up even after we had filled in the form of the workers names earlier. They insisted on seeing the immigrant workers passport! They had their worker ID card but said they needed passport! Hello....you don't expect a worker to be bringing their passport everywhere they go & plus the hotel did not inform us earlier.

So after fighting & negotiating, they allowed them in. At 3am! The backdrop had some issues so by the time we were done, it was 6am! & I had to get up at 7.30am to get ready for the event. So, I only had 1 1/2 hours of sleep that night.

Back to pictures of the hotel: In the morning.

I love the fact that the windows are fully glassed from top to bottom. When you stand at the window, you feel like you're flying! Seriously!

The view. It was a nice view. Could even see KL Tower & Petronas Twin Tower.

Even only getting 1 1/2 hour of sleep, I still had to smile!

A picture of the ballroom.

With the client.

Yay! Successful event makes the client smile & me too!

Don't ask why I am like a sore thumb! Already wearing red then want to be taller than everyone else. =S

September 17

2008-09-17T10:06:00.000-07:00

When I found out last week that September 17 was a Selangor Holiday, I wanted to jump for joy. But I was in office, so I just smiled. Happily wanting to jot it down in my dairy, I literally stoned as I saw on my September 18 "box" I wrote "Project Insights (SMG). This time I literally said out loud "NOOOOOO"!

An event on the very next day! How am I going to print the press kits? How am I going to call the media? I tried calming myself that maybe I could finalize & print all the documents for the press kit on September 16 & on September 17 I can call the media from home?

To cut things short, I am now in office on September 17, a Selangor Public Holiday!

& to make things worst, the set up in the hotel tonight can only be done at blady 2am in the morning because the event tonight in the ballroom only ends at 12am & they have massive set-up! Good thing is my boss booked a room for us so we don't have to go back home.

Sigh, & I just realized I forgot to bring my handphone charger.

Moving Out!

2008-09-15T22:16:00.000-07:00

We are finally shifting out....from my office.

My office is situated in Damansara Perdana. Not sure where that is? Here are some clues:

The area beside The Curve, Ikea & Ikano. Friendster Cafe. The new Citibank. The Edge/Financial Daily new office.

Still not sure? Go get a map!

Ever since I started working there, February 2007, I have "experienced" 3 robbery.

To cut straight to the point, here are some solid reasons why you shouldn't live or work in Damansara Perdana (DP).

1. Security

When I first started working there, my colleagues told me there was an incident where a salesman came in the office & without anyone knowing, took 2 handphones. Sounds familiar?

While I was working there, here are my own experience:

Scenario 1: Me & 3 other colleagues went out for lunch. 1 of my colleague usually packs her food from home and eats in office. While she was eating, someone used the office card pass, scanned & came in. My colleague thought it was one of us so she didn't bother. Lucky she didn't cause when we came back, 4 of our laptops was gone! Broad daylight and had our office pass. Hmmmm.....

Scenario 2: I reached office early in the morning, the same time as another 1 of my colleague. Heard the office alarm ringing like crazy! Went up, the front doors were still locked up. Opened & to our horror, the office was in a mess! 2 laptops gone (including mine), 2 laptops were thrown on the floor (1 with the battery stolen), camera, original programmes, etc. Whats the worst thing? The alarm was ringing for at least 4-5 hours & the security didn't bother.

Scenario 3: This happened just last week on Thursday. My colleague was in front of my office on the sidewalk! A motorbike stopped, the backseat guy jumped down & ran towards my colleague & stole her bag. This happened at 2pm! Not only was it broad daylight but during lunch hour.

2. Parking

Parking there is like the parking in Taipan, USJ. We do not have basement carpark & we pay to MBPJ. There are not enough parking bays so common practice at DP is we double park & leave our numbers on our windscreen. Now, we do not have a choice cause there isn't parking right? & let me give you a warning. EVERYDAY there are MBPJ officers "saman-ing" cars. When I said everyday I mean everyday! But they understand the parking problems that we have, so they do NOT "saman" cars that double park. But, at certain days, when they are PMS-ing or there is a new officer OR when the Police decides to drop in, you will get a blady ticket on your windscreen!

3. One way in, One way out

There is only ONE way in & ONE way out of DP. If the bridge leading out of DP decides to "runtuh", I better be having my pillows with me to sleep in office.

4. Management

After complaining to the Management several times, did they do anything about it? No! Btw, the Management for DP is MK LAND! Their cctv outside my office is just for show, it does not work. First robbery, no cctv. Second robbery, cctv still not up! Not only that, my boss refused to pay the maintenance fee because they are not doing anything to help the area. What do they do? Cut the lift to our floor & cut my boss access to her basement car park.

Also, during one of my boss complain at their office, a guy came in lodging a report stating his car was stolen in the carpark basement! & guess what, there are securities in the basements! This is not the only incident. Most of our neighbors all have had their share of robbery. One with a knife at his throat.

However, there are obviously some pros to DP.

1. Food

There are plenty of food there. Chinese, mamak, western, japanese, malay.....Bored of the food in DP? Its okay! The Curve is just 3 minutes away!

2. Location

Close to PJ & the Penchala Link directly from DP. Takes only 5 minutes to Hartamas & 10 mins to KL (without jam).

3. Environment

Not the working environment but the early morning fresh environment. DP is still surrounded by mountains, so early mornings or during rainy days, its really cooling.

4. Shopping

There are a couple of boutiques in DP & the most famous one: Cats Whiskers. Also close to The Curve & 1Utama.

So yea, I am just in a ranting mood. But some eye opener of DP.

As mentioned, will be shifting out by end of the year! Won't mention where yet but can only say our new office is a house which will be turned into an office.

My Merdeka

2008-09-08T14:39:00.000-07:00

It has been 10 days since I last updated my blog. Hmm, maybe wifey is right - that I will neglect it 1 day. But I will be kiasu & prove her wrong! Even if I update it only once a month.

Back to Merdeka weekend: How did you guys celebrated it?

For me, Merdeka was a bit "quiet" this year. It can be 2 reasons:

1. With all the "problems" Malaysia is going through this days, I don't feel like a Malaysian!

2. I am getting old!

Let me tell you how I celebrated my Merdeka Eve this year as an old aunty.

I went to Kampung Jawa for seafood dinner with the boyfriend's friend because it was his friend's birthday. 3 tables, around 20 people, eating crab & fish & sotong, etc for Merdeka Eve. No, that is not the true "aunty" part yet. After dinner, we went for drinks. No, not at a club or a pub like Laundry or something BUT at a pub in USJ1 filled with old aunties & uncles & kids at the age of 7 playing pool! Kids that belongs to the old aunties & uncles. & if that isn't hilarious, there we old aunties and uncles karaoke-ing which was the "music" for the pub.

But one thing for sure, the beer is blardy cheap!

Here is one of me & the boyfriend before dinner was served.

The very next morning at 7am, had to rush back to Teluk Intan for my cousin brother's wedding. Had to make sure that we arrived before the bride arrives.

Nothing much to "cerita", so here are some pictures. Enjoy!

My family, excluding my dad & brother with the newly wed.

Picture stolen from my uncle in facebook. Mother, sisters, aunties, cousin & soon to be sister-in-law.

Wedding dinner. My immediate family.

Family with brother-in-law, niece & soon to be sister-in-law.

Sunset! The ladies...

Everytime we go to this restaurant in Teluk Intan, this dish is a MUST! Lobster 4 season...

This desert was really good! Yam with gingko! slurpsss....

The Wedding cake. Super cute.

Time off at Langkawi

2008-08-29T17:49:00.000-07:00

The week I was going to go off to the Island of Langkawi, I felt "sick" was coming to get me. So in order to stop "sick" from coming, I drank lots of water & it kept "sick" in for a week.

On the day I was coming back to KL, our flight was delayed for 2 1/2 hours which made me reach home & put my tired head to bed at 12.30am. On Monday, I started work & only reached home at 8.45pm. On Tuesday at 10.30 pm. On Wednesday, had an event at night at Borneo Baruk Club in KL, reached home at 11:30pm.

That was when "sick" decided to crawl back up & here I am on MC. I have been getting sick more recent then it used to be. & my family keeps calling me a "weakling".

Anyway, a quick update on my little trip to Langkawi with the boyfriend. We have been planning to go on a trip together and decided to land in Langkawi. Ask the boyfriend, not me. I wanted Redang/Perhentian but he won! So next time, my call!

Day 1

Took half day off on 21st Aug as our flight was only at 6.35pm. No delays, everything was good. Hotel was only 2km from the airport but every taxi wanted to charge us RM12.

Got to the hotel, collected our car, checked in and went to find food. Decided to eat the food at the hotel: Teppanyaki by the pool. The service sucked big time! & naturally, the food sucked as well.

Here is a pic of our hotel room. They gave us 2 queen size bed because the King size were taken up. Really spacious!

After dinner, we decided to drive out. Got into the car & walla, No petrol!! The light was blinking *curse the car rental guy!*. So we pumped petrol & decided to just go for RM20 but the light still didn't go off. So we thought the stupid thing was spoiled. Calculated, RM20 can bring us about 100km.

We were also kinda lucky that night. The boyfriend wind down the window full & it didn't want to go back up. After multiple attempts, it finally went up! Not long after that, thunder storm! Serious shit thunder storm!

Day 2

We woke up to continuous thunder storm. Lucky we had a car. So decided to grab some food and head to Kuah Town since its raining.

Malibu is my favorite & they had all types of Malibu there for only RM42 a bottle! Coconut, passion fruit, mango, pineapple!! Nyum....

The boyfriend kept bugging me about going to the padi field so when we saw one on the way, he immediately stopped the car & came down for pictures.

We went quite a few places that day including the Mahsuri Mausoleum. That was where the most horrible thing happened. Our car died because no petrol at 92km.

Asked around & thank you God for being on our side. There was a small "kedai runcit" nearby selling petrol in bottles. Must be common for visitors to run out of petrol there. *he he*

Hehe disturbing him while filling up the tank.

We then headed to Black Sand Beach. & the name tells it all! The sand was really black. Wonder why.

I like this picture. Guess the boyfriend photography skills not so bad after all.

While on the way to Berjaya Hotel to check out the beach there, we came across a sesat place called "Telaga Harbour park". Its where yacht dock & rich people drink & dine. Really nice place.

The boyfriend saying "one day one of this will be mine! huhuhuhu"

The whole day it was either raining or gloomy.

Night time came and we ate maggi mee which tasted so good! Too tired to go out. And we bought sinful stuffs! So blardy cheap! After dinner in room, we went down to the beach, ordered a can of pineapple juice and sprite & quietly opened our liquor & poured into the cup. *slurp*

Day 3

The sun is out!! & hot hot hot!

Headed for breakfast then to Oriental Village where the cable car was at!

Trained eagle. Super huge! I think they are not trained just drugged...

The cable car was full with visitors! That we decided to just come back the next day. So we ended up feeding sang kancil & rabbits!

So cute hor...

Next destination, Eagle square!

hehe this picture is hilarious! The boyfriend was taking the picture & I jumped "snapped"! Just in time to catch my head jumping in the air.

The water there looked so blue doesn't it? But after this, we headed down to the beach at our hotel. Sun was still shining hot & the sea was the same color as this. But in the water, can't even see your feet! Blardy hell...

At night, we treated ourselves to seafood dinner near Kuah Town. The place called "Yummie Yummie", recommeded by the cigar man.

Order like there was no tomorrow, ate like pigs. 1kg 250gram of crab, sotong, mantis prawn, vege, lala, 1 can of heineken, 2 glasses of apple juice & 2 rice: RM96. I think its quite cheap.

Day 4

Was suppose to go for the cable car but decided to skip that as well. Plus it was raining again so we headed to Kuah Town to just get our chocolates, liquor & ciggies for home.

Spend RM114 on chocolates alone!

Checked out from the hotel at 6pm (we extended our stay for RM50), went to the airport, had dinner. Everything was perfect as our flight was at 8pm and check in time was at 7pm. Was walking towards the gate when they announce the delay n flight! Damn... Thats for saying "I don't want to go home! So sad!".

So we took a lot of stupid pictures while waiting.

Yes, alot of stupid pictures...

If only we had longer hours...

2008-08-27T14:23:00.000-07:00

Yes, I came back from Langkawi last Sunday night.

& no, I do not have the time to blog about anything.

Have been busy till late night since Monday & Merdeka is this weekend. Will be going to Teluk Intan on Sunday for cousin's wedding!

Till then...toodles!

The Boyrfriend's Graduation

2008-08-18T23:27:00.000-07:00

The boyfriend has Graduated!

"Congratulations Dear. Even though I have never verbally said this to you but I am so proud of you. Not only of your graduation but all the other achievements you have achieved this year"

All the pictures in my camera was of him without his robe because he was using his sis's camera before that. Oh well, here are some pictures.

My handsome boy.

Looks like prom night.

His Family

2008-08-12T21:48:00.000-07:00

At this very moment, my mamee is on her 13 hours flight back to her family!

2008-08-10T23:06:00.000-07:00

Did you watch the Opening of Beijing Olympics 2008

on 08.08.08 at 8.08 pm?

I did & I thought it was awesome. They out-did themselves & succeeded in telling the world that China is Here!

Back to "my" life. I bought new shoes last week!

One for work & the other for my brother's wedding. A lot of people have that shoe & I think its nice too. But the main reason for buying it is the color & elegance of it.

& I also bought a new pair of glasses!

Thicker frames = more nerdy = me likey

The boyfriend's graduation is next week. Went to take studio pictures with his family & somehow, they decided to put 1cm of makeup on my face & set my hair up with hair spray!

Tomorrow is Monday. Sigh

Guilty!

2008-08-04T15:15:00.000-07:00

I ate so much over the weekend that its not even funny.

Shogun on Saturday night and Steamboat buffet on Sunday night!

Not forgetting the Dome on Friday night, the assam laksa, the chocolates, the donuts from Big Apple, the buns.......sigh

Since we are on the topic of food now, I had an event at Corus Hotel KL last week. They had this japanese restaurant called "Komura" which had the best Japanese feel to it. Not to sure about the food though as they only gave us a tour of the place but did not give a "food testing" treat.

Here are some pictures. Can consider right?

The walkway in between the private rooms

Teppanyaki room

If the food isn't nice, don't come after me! But the price looks reasonable.

Good morning August

2008-08-01T20:14:00.000-07:00

Hello August, You are finally here....

My August is filled with anticipated events & I am guessing its going to pass by pretty fast.

9 August - Uncle's 60th Birthday

12 13 August - Mummy is finally coming back from Sweden!

16 August - The boyfriend's convocation

21 - 24 August - Langkawi with the boyfriend!

31 August - Merdeka & cousin's wedding in Teluk Intan

Before I know it, I am getting my next salary! Something we all look forward to don't we?

Last weekend

2008-07-25T14:50:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, went to KL (yes again) for food, shop & movie.

Went to this Japanese restaurant at Sg Wang. Okay, its quite complicated to get there. At the highest floor of Sg Wang (IT centre), go up higher via the stairs. You will reach a place where young teenagers hang out in terms of cloths, food & an open area where chinese will "shuffle" & malays will "breakdance" with a mini radio.

Anyway, japanese buffet for RM30 per person - selected sushi on a train, bbq & steamboat, teppanyaki and even soba. Not too bad, but not the best quality.

Pictures, enjoy!

Selection of everything.

I don't think the bbq "pot" was meant for steamboat. It was meant for the oil of the bbq to drip into it. Errr, roll down for after effect. Quite gross.

Quite nice to play though.

The boyfriend looking at the railway tracks.

Squeeze squeeze..Not as bad as it looks okay!

Errr, yea....The soup dried & it made me sick.

We went on the train for a ride!

Choo choooooo....

After dinner, we went for a movie at Pavillion.

BATMAN - The Dark Knight!

My tagline for the movie: Best movie of the year! (Yes, better than Iron Man)

Christian Bale as Batman (without the suit) was a hunk. With the suit, not so as his voice too deep. Heath Ledger's acting was awesome.

Conclusion: I wanted to see Batman without his suit & more of The Joker because his acting blows your mind. The beginning of the movie was a bit confusing but at the end, the story line was good.

I for one, am on The Joker's side!

Zang Toi's Fashion Show; Fall & Resort Collection

2008-07-21T12:50:00.000-07:00

Yes, it was my first fashion show with a famous fashion designer.

Zang Toi to be more exact; a New York based Malaysian fashion designer.

The boss bought 5 of us tickets.

So on Thursday (17 July), we got a little excited because we get to dress up!

The day started off early by driving over to Sabrina's house in Bukit Jalil, parked our cars there & car-pool to work. It was a jam day due to road blocks so we arrived to work slightly late.

At 3pm, we shut down our pc's & laptop & headed to a hair saloon nearby to get our hair done! Not setting it up but just to wash & blow. Wendy had her hair cut though.

Then we got ready in the boss house. She was in Penang for work so we messed her house & scared the crap out of her cat! Poor thing.

Me & sharmini did our hair first so we got ready super early & cam whored while waiting for the rest.

Me & Jess in the car. Her eyes is so damn big compared to my "sepet" eyes.

The driver, Sabrina & co-pilot Sharmini who had us laughing the entire way due to her... ahhh... jokes?

The passengers! Jess, me & Wendy

Photo courtesy of Sharmini's friend. Stole it from his FB.

Sabrina, Sharmini, Me, Jess & Wendy

The runway

I took horrible pictures! But the first set of his dresses was nice!

Then after this, they off the lights! So I couldn't capture anymore pictures

When they all came walking out.

Zang Toi the man!

We could have taken picture with him but we were too lazy to wait around for our turn.

So, great experience! Best thing was we got to look around at people's dresses for the night which some was gorgeous.

Shopping makes you go crazy..& broke!

2008-07-13T22:52:00.000-07:00

I is a happy girl - after shopping therapy

The mega sale is back. Me & Wifey went to KL for shopping on Saturday. Left the house at 11am, reached KL at 12am & left KL at 6pm. 6 hours till the legs literally "died" BUT it was good. Well better for the wife because she bought ~~twice~~ triple the amount of stuffs I did.

I wanted to search for a dress for my brother's wedding in October but its either it was too damn expensive or it was too damn ugly.

At the end of the day, I bought 2 tops, 1 vest & a dress. A dress for the boyfriend's graduation ceremony next month.

I love it! Every girls needs a Little Black Dress right? & I didn't event spend this much on my own graduation dress!

Happy shoppers!

The next day after church, I decided to drop by Pyramid to look for a dress & I found it! At such a reasonable price as well!

So now, I will have to look for a shoe to go with it....

The super expensive dresses I saw in Pavillion was "love" but with the budget I have, this will be my love for now.

Here fishy fishy

2008-07-10T22:31:00.000-07:00

The current "trend": Fish Spa

It's opening everywhere & the most famous one of all is of course "Kenko" in Pavillion and MidValley.

Also known as "Doctor Fish", this little fishes called Garra Rufa exfoliate the dead skin on your feet by eating them!

Have you tried it? I really want to but haven had the urge & time to do so.

But recently, the best thing just happened! My office in Damansara Perdana is on the 2nd floor. & guess what! A fish spa opened right above us on the 4th floor!

Went to check it out the other day & the place looks really classy. Best thing is, the are having a promotion now. RM30 for not 1 but 2 person for 1/2 hour!

One of this days, after work....

I heard that this was previously offered in Japan but the fishes originated from a hot spring in Turkey though. In some places, you can dip your entire body into a pool fill with this fishes. But be careful, remember to cover up some parts of your body.

But imagine yourself in a pool fill with this tiny fishes, sharing with many others & dead skin floating everywhere. Ewww...

Anyway, anyone interested? Give me a ring!

Address: 3A-20, Jalan PJU 8/3, Damansara Perdana Business Centre, 47820 PJ, Selangor

Happy Bday to the Sis

2008-07-07T21:59:00.000-07:00

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y

to the sister

for being someone for me to seek advise, gossip, share our secrets, irritate, find food with when the parents "ditch" us...& of course for providing a wardrobe for me to raid (i think you raid mine more!). Still love you though.

My sis favourite character is "PUCCA"! (for some odd reason)

& coincidently, Pucca is also born on July 7! (she only found out after going crazy for her)

Have You Ever?

2008-07-03T10:35:00.000-07:00

Have you ever just want to be around people to forget about your sadness?

Have you ever force to put a smile on your face just to look perfect for the world but deep inside your dying?

Have you ever sit quietly in the corner of your room and go through moments of "I wish I was......"?

Have you ever thought what the future will be like for you?

Have you ever cry yourself to sleep & do not know why?

.....................I have but then again, who hasn't?

Short? Long?

2008-07-01T12:28:00.000-07:00

Do I look good with long hair??

I strongly recommend this song:

Sempurna by Andra & The Backbone

How I wish there is NO end in weekend

2008-06-30T22:20:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love weekends?

After 5 days of stress at work, you just need the weekend off to laze around. For me, I love my weekends because I get to spend time with the boyfriend, go out and eat my favourite food / new food.

Last weekend, I got to go to 2 places which I wanted to go for some time now.

But before that, I went to this place at ss15 called "Ice Monster". It's right beside Cats Whiskers & its good especially for a hot hot day! No pictures because I forgot to bring the camera. But do give it a try. *slurps*

Destination 1: Look Out Point

We didn't have a printer, so I drew out the map. It was good drawing okay! We got to the place without getting lost, confuse or even make 1 wrong turning.

Food was served quite fast. Sizzling chicken & lamb!

After dinner, we climbed up to see the view. My camera sux, this was the best it could do.

Verdict: Cold (remember to bring a jacket), food sux, traffic/parking is like mad house but view was nice.

Destination 2: Euro Fair

They are back and situated at Bukit Jalil...

The boyfriend looks like "SinChan" according to many. I think its the eyebrow.

I want a bear!!

They were huge!! But nope, I did not get any. The boyfriend promised me one but failed.

I like this picture.

Destination 3: Wondermilk

Strawberry Dream, Oreo & Choc Chip Mint. Kinda expensive though. For 3 cupcakes & 1 strawberry soda: RM18.10

He smashed the cupcake into my mouth & I wipe it back on him.

Monster's Baby

2008-06-27T17:52:00.000-07:00

I always call my mom "Mamee Monster". Night in Sweden now only last for 2-3 hours and the darkest it will go is like 7pm over here. She is 6 hours behind us and she wakes up 6am (their time) everyday. Talked to her online today...

Me: ehehhee i noe u do!!

PR and the Media

2008-06-26T23:20:00.000-07:00

If you notice, all my past entries are always short & straight to the point. But today, I feel like blabbing.

This post is about my job as a PR (Public Relations) Practitioner and about the media.

I was browsing through Jobstreet today to browse through on the market demand for PR jobs and stumbled across an entry which read "PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER (PART TIME) and it caught my attention because of the "part time"? I thought it meant "Just for an event" job.

This is what the job is for:

We seek for FEMALE promoters / models in between 18 to 25 yrs old who can have drinks together with sales executive & our potential clients from 8:30pm to 11:30pm, once or twice a week. Your experience as a model/promoter is a plus. Please send your portfolio of photos / resume to: pubrelation888@yahoo.com

......... I was speechless. Now I know why people always think that PR = GRO. If you google the word PR, in simple words, this is a summary of what PR is all about = Communication with various sectors of the public to influence their attitudes and opinions in the interest of promoting a person, product or idea.

In other words, if you have a message you want the public to be aware of and the best way is of course through the media, you go through PR to get to the media.

MESSAGE ---> PR ---> MEDIA ---> PUBLIC

So no, we are not GRO's. We do not entertain clients by drinking with them. If we were GRO's, why did I have to study 4 years to get a Bachelor Degree?

On Monday (June 23) I went to a Panel Forum with the topic being: Engaging Conventional & New Media Tools for Maximum Impact. The panel members were the Deputy Executive Editor of The Star, Head External Communications of TNB and Senior Manager of Starcom IP.

After the Elections 08, the government realize the "power" of the new media, i.e. BLOGS. All 3 panel members had an opinion of their own about the conventional and new media.

On April 17, 2008, I launched an Australian media monitoring company in KL. What sets them far apart is that they not only monitor the traditional media but the social media as well (Blogs, YouTube, etc) which NONE of the media monitoring companies in Malaysia is doing & it works because what blogs say about you today is influential.

At the end of the forum, I kept a few things in mind which the panel mentioned:

1. Bloggers have no rules. They write whatever they want and that worries "people". Newspapers on the other hand will get in serious trouble for the things Jeff Ooi writes.

2. The Deputy Editor of The Star says that we, especially for PR practitioners should not treat bloggers as a media. We should know how to differentiate the political bloggers and the social bloggers. Example: Rockybru vs Kenny Sia.

3. When dealing with social bloggers, treat them like a kindergarten class. Explain to them about your business and product before saying "go ahead with the write up".

Like it or not, bloggers have the power. Whatever they write or however they write it, it creates an impact. Malaysia has about 500,000 active bloggers ranking the country among the highest in the world and it is still on the rise.

Now, doesn't that tell you something?

Hello; Air Supply Yo!

2008-06-24T21:24:00.000-07:00

My mummy went to Sweden for 7 weeks. I miss her already.

& my dad cooked dinner for us tonight.

Was at Genting over the weekend for Air Supply!

Yes call me old but I love "oldies" thanks to my parents who made me listen to "Light & Easy" in the car.

But one word: AWESOME!

Their songs melt my heart & I didn't want them to stop. *sigh*

Now, if only Micheal Buble would come down, I would go see him however much the tickets cost!

Anxious fan. The boyfriend is a bigger fan than me.

Full house! Tickets sold out. The crowd kinda scared me.

They knew how to entertain the crowd. During the song "Here I Am", they both came into crowd while singing & everyone went crazy!

Sigh, fantastic. One of the best concerts I've been to.

Before heading back down to KL where the sun shines all the time.

Me want to see them again.

Hello; random me

Work is killing me slowly but surely.

On a different note, here is what I call a complete mouth watering meal that never cease to pleasure.

Banana leaf rice with 3 vege..*OMG*

With an extra dish of mutton, papadam, rasam & a refreshing drink.

Drooling?

We waited about 5 years for her & when she finally came, it brought so much joy.

Spoilt, adorable, naughty, love....

Pictures of her: Couldn't find her baby pictures though.

She went through a lot of phases in life. & this was her "senget kepala" phase.

During her 1st or 2nd birthday. Can't remember.

Sis & her. Her teeth were growing.

One of my favourite pic.

Fountain! Her senget smile phase

Last Sunday (June 1) celebrating her birthday earlier.

Hello; RM2.70!!

2008-06-04T21:45:00.000-07:00

I work in Damansara Perdana.

& it took me 2 hours to reach home today.

Why?

1. Rain - Somehow after it rains, Malaysians does not know how to drive "normally" when the road is wet.

2. EVERYONE was queing up to pump petrol because the petrol price has increase to RM2.70 a litre. Sigh That is almost 80 cents more!

& I was one of them....

This is NOT kiasu! RM2.70! Petrol price going up; rice price going up. But salary remains.

Any job openings in Subang Jaya?

Hello; Balagan is finally over

2008-06-03T12:00:00.000-07:00

After months of preparation, Balagan - Cirque Style Extravaganza has finally come to an end. Well for me the only important part of everything was getting publicity and the Opening Night on May 28.

Some "Behind-The-Scenes" pictures for you. Enjoy!

This was a visit to the Spastic Centre on May 24. The performance for May 29 was a Charity Night. So the Producer and some cast members gave them a sneak preview.

This was them preparing for the special guests.

They gave the Balagan crew a performance of their own.

Then they did they stuff. This is Sasha and the famous aerial cube act.

And this is Paulina. The professional Hula Hoop girl. Her hair is super pink & super long!

On May 26, we had a bunch of interviews lined up for them. First was at NTV7, The Breakfast Show.

& Paulina did her act again.

While the rest continued talking.

Then we headed to The Sun for a face to face interview.

The entire crew members practicing.

Wonder if they will ever come back again?

Hello; Weekend at Pavilion, KL

2008-05-27T00:58:00.001-07:00

A week ago, May 19 to be precise, I went Pavilion with my sister and the boyfriend. Came back disappointed because I wanted to buy a top from Forever21 and my sis said it was not worth it and there was another place in Bangsar that had it for only RM30+.

The only thing that made my day was I bought a packet of "pama kuew teow". Something like maggi mee. BUT thanks to my family which did not think of me....I only had 1 packet & they ate the rest without asking/informing me mind you.

So anyway, the boyfriend brought me back there again. I am a happy girl once more with a new top (sis "lied" to me about Bangsar), more pama kuew teow & a new shoe.

This is what I have to go through when we go in a book store.

We Went to this place called "Dain Ti Hill" before movie

The Interior

My mango ice blended. Recommended

First time watching movie in GSC Pavilion. "Iron Man" was awesome!
