HELL NO!

Being single isn't a crime! Hell NO!

Being single doesn't mean we are being left on the shelf! Just that we chose this path or we haven't found someone that we can spend our life with!

Being single doesn't mean we don't have our own problems, or bills to pay, or no burden. The burdens or responsibilities may not be as great as what other couples or families with children have... But that doesn't mean we are very rich! We do spend but that also mean we work for it, get paid for it and pamper ourselves once in a while.....

Though it's alot of freedom but that doesn't mean we don't want love!

Please get into that big head of yours and stop assuming that BEING SINGLE have got no problems in their life!

........

Each time I log into the post, have lots of things to write but can't place them... That's why I've not posted anything for a weeks now.

Many things have happened over the past few days. There's happiness, anger, being upset, disappointments. The list goes on. Family has never been a great thing... Sometimes i envy my friends who's got closeness with their family. I envy the fun they have with their siblings. I envy them for being able to talk to their siblings about anything. I envy them being able to laugh, tease, joke about anything with one another. For my family, we lack ALOT of these! Luckily I'm still close to my Dad and my relatives in KL. Like Auntie Min where I also THANK GOD that I can confide in her about almost everything! I really enjoy my time in KL even if it's just spending time at home. In that house, I'll never say bored nor starve! (the house stores for an army)!

At least there are lessons learnt. And each time I become smarter from these lessons. And it tells me to open up my eyes to alot of other things around me.

Though I don't have closeness in family, THANK GOD I have closeness with my few buddies! You know who you are... If you still don't know, then it's PJ, 2 Js.. I find myself so fortunate to know all of you... :') *tears*

Wish Granted

Met up with Janet at Junction 8 yesterday. Was supposed to go walking but as it was raining so had to cancelled it. Went for dinner at Thai Express... Mango salad, yummy, spicy hot tom yum soup... with tapioca as dessert... Ohh lala!

Headed to BEST to check out the rice cooker and other electrical items. Saw a rice cooker on sale this week at $39, brand was Mistral. The size just nice for about 3 or more ppl. I think can cook around 5 cups of rice.... I think it was pretty reasonable price. Janet said she will check out if her company have anything similiar...

Next was to check out my dream camera.. It was launch just last month. Been seeing it on TV many times already... And so wanted to buy it... This time round even checked out the functions, tested it, and my heart was already so into the camera... They had blue colour and silver... So I took the last blue one.... hehe... So Happy! Janet was so tempted to get one too...

JJ's concert is on 24th June 2006... Anyone want to go?

New Look

Woke up late this morning as so tired over the weekend.. Many happenings. Will let Jen update you on the news later. Was trying to style my fringe correctly but couldn't do it like how the stylist did... Followed the instructions on combing the hair but still failed.. haha...

When I reached work, my colleagues noticed the colour of my hair.. new hairstyle and they all said nice... Even my driver said I was getting prettier. hehe.. :P Alot of them said this hairstyle fits me beta than the old one.. Even my finance boss noticed the new hair-do.. and said it was nice... :D

Looks like the money I spent was worth it afterall.. I think I'll be more daring in my colour choices next time.. hehe

New Colour

My hair used to be so virgin.. As in no dye, no highlight. Only the usual perm, rebonding or trim. Yesterday had an appointment with the hairstylist. But realised that the one that usually do my hair is on leave! SHUCKS! Still went ahead to the salon and let the manager see what he can do to my hair. PJ suggested to do colouring... I was reluctant at first as I've never tried it before... And wasn't sure of what colour either.

The stylist gave me a choice... but I didn't quite like it... I saw one that is called "Lavender Brown". The word lavender sounds good... So I chose that. I was kinda afraid the colour comes out differently and was praying so hard that it was ok.. At the same time, I was so sleepy... (just came back from KL) Dozing off while the dye was going on.... snooze....

Upon seeing my new hair colour.. I was actually surprised how it turned out... It was good! The colour was quite naturally. I had my hair trimmed too and cut my fringe. Though I wasn't used to seeing a fringe.. But at least it looks different from my previous hairdo. I was pleased with it.

PJ's hair was quite well done... haha.. She wasn't pleased with how the highlight turned out and demanded a refund. The manager quickly re-do it... The salon was supposed to close at 5pm. Due to PJ's hair, it was dragged till 8pm. We were the last customers. Of coz we would want our money worth it.

Eve of Public Holiday

Yipee! Few more hours to KL... BBQ, Steaks, FOOD & Fun! Oops! I haven't even applied leave yet.. hehe... Will do so on Saturday.

I'm already in a holiday mood. No bosses around now.. Blasting the TV series cantonese music. My colleagues are going for tea break but I'm still full from lunch leh... Shall not join them.

Jen said still can go swimming despite her red river... Min said Laura will surely like the bolster we got.. And she'll be very very happy. Jen, Min said not to mention AUNTIE! If not, you can stay home the whole weekend. She'll not bring you anywhere... haha...

It's Peijun's last day at WW. I'm sure she's all happy and feeling like a free bird... A birdy going to fly to another big, new office.. A place with hopefully nicer ppl and environment.. ALL THE BEST, Sister!

For the 1st time travelling, tonight I don't have to pack so many things as most of my clothes are in KL. PJ thought I would need to write a list and see what I need to pack again and again and again.. HAHA!

Time seems slow when no typing.. Shall start with my filing now...

See you tmr!

There's a Kind of Hush.......

Bought a new cd called "My Diary". Have 3 cds inside... Only $17.90... Very cheap! Nice songs from the 1970s, 80s.... Never knew the title of this song till now hearing it again. And I'm starting to like it over and over again.

The title is "There's A Kind of Hush". The lyrics goes like this:

* There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear
the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and
I'm feeling good just holding you tight

** So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear
the sounds of lovers in love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la (x3)

repeat **

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people like us fallin' in love
Yeah, they're fallin' in love
Hush, they're fallin' in love
Hush.

There are other nice songs like Because I Love You, I Wanna Take Forever Tonight, Just When I Needed You Most, I Miss You, Reflections of My Life, Faithfully, Blue Bayo, Reality, Casablanca, When Will I See You Again, One Clear Voice and many many more...

A Message

Received this message at 10am yesterday morning... Thought the caller messaged wrongly as it says "Hey guess wat, I'm at paya lebar airport, want a lift home"? Sounds like sending to the wrong person isn't it... At first I thought maybe he was trying to send to Jen as both our names starts with 'L'.. So I picked up the phone to call.. Surprising he sent to the correct person. He says he never send wrong message wan.

So I told him if it's convenient for him, then no problem in sending me home lor... The chat lasted about 3 mins.

Few hours later I received a call. The person said where my office was and how to get there. He asked if he could call me on my mobile in case he couldn't find the venue. I told him my mobile is going dead soon and no matter how I charge it, it will still be dead... From the other side, he sounded like didn't want to come liao. So I told him it's not a must that he has to come... So in the end, he said "then i meet you some other time lor"......


Jen, upon reading this message, I think you know who it is.....

Back to Work

Hey everyone, I'm back from my holiday and back to work. Was a drag getting up this morning and dressing up for work. So used to short, tee and sandals for the whole of last week... My colleagues were all happy to see me.. and some said they were even counting down the days that I was coming back... So sweet hor... (of coz they are all waiting for me to come back & do my work)

Heard from my colleagues that my muslim boss is off to qatar for business and my finance boss was hospitalised last Friday. Due to hypertension. My boss thought it was stroke at first.. But luckily it wasn't. Something to do with nerves. He seems better today.

I thought my table would be overloaded and messy when I'm back.... But it wasn't at all. Efficient receptionist I have. Kept it organised and clean. So I guess I can take more leave now.. hehe

Went to the shop yesterday with PJ. She had to do income tax for my dad. As usual upon seeing Bobo, my dad was happy... And I reminded my dad that Bobo ain't my BOYFRIEND! :P

Think we brought the customers to the shop as it was crowded. One customer even bought $240 of books... Jen joined us at the shop.... But no contribution from her. So we told her to mop the floor and throw the rubbish. haha.. Peijun's idea was even more cruel... Told Jen to take a cloth to wipe all the covers of the comics.

We headed to Asia Grand for dinner. A reward! But looks more like reward for BB. Everything ordered was for him basically as no pork allowed.. Luckily everyone enjoyed the food... Especially the black pepper beef... Bagus! The dessert came.. Durian Pudding! I'm sure all of you agreed that it was good. Really can taste the durian. Not those powder ones you get outside.

Ooppsss! Got to stop blogging.. Just saw my boss walking in.

Mega Mall

The above sounds like a HUGE mall isn't it.. IT IS..... But it's one very UNINTERESTING place for me as the shops are similiar to Singapore. Like Suntec City or Takashimaya. So it's not anything fantastic. Out of the dunno how many shops.. I was only interested in 3 stalls. Got a cat bag for Janet. As she's been keeping me company for exercise and helping me with my household chores.

Was done with the Mall within 1 hour plus. Of coz I didn't walked into all the shops as most of it not necessary to see or buy. I was interested in those limited edition cars... But real expensive! See no touch only!

Headed home for dinner... Had home-cooked fried beehoon.. Very yummy!

Going back to Singapore tomorrow.... Not really looking forward to it though... Not enough of holiday yet.. BUT.... I'll be back next Friday... And there will be more yummy food, BBQ, Petting Zoo and Street Party. Not really what that is actually. But Min said we can join in and we can even stay over at the hotel where she will be working... And we will head for the bus station on Sunday...

YoOhOo! kekeke

Visiting Ipoh

The drive to Ipoh as you gals will know.... haha... STRESS! Details shan't mention here yet.. We checked into Heritage Hotel as it was cheaper than the one we wanted to stay in... RM60 more.. So cheap hotel you will get lousy service and lousy room. When my sister in law said the room was bad, we didn't quite believe her till we saw it with our own eyes. The room was quite run down. Though it had the usual tv, cabinet, bed, dressing table.. But the interior looks terrible. The paint on the wall were coming off, the bathroom bath tub was cracked and dirty, the shower curtain was SMELLY!... Eeeks!!! Since we are only staying one night we shall bear with it. Ian said the room was beautiful especially the bathroom.. :P

Headed to the restaurant for dinner with my aunts and 1 cousin. The rest weren't in Ipoh so difficult to get them all altogether. We went to the usual restaurant called Mun Cheong. The portion of the food there is very huge. Like feeding an army. We didn't have any chicken dishes due to the bird flu. So we were all vegetarian that night.

It was great chit-chatting with my aunts as I've not seen them for almost 1 year or more. They still look the same just older.. hehe... Everyone like Ella, as she was so quiet and wasn't afraid of strangers. But she was abit moody due to sleeping time. Headed back to the hotel after that.

Ian slept with me as it was easier for my sister to just take care of Ella. Watched abit of tv before I went to bed. I felt uncomfortable turning off the lights so decided to turn on the entrance light. Eyes were getting tired... from the long drive and not able to sleep enough. Almost into deep sleep, got woken up by the door bell... Had a weird feeling on why would anyone ring the door bell at 12.30am... Went to the door and peep, NO ONE WAS THERE! *shivers down my body*

Quickly went back to bed and turn on the tv so I wouldn't be so scared. But it got worse... Or maybe I was scaring myself out. Dozed off again later but got woken up again. Felt really uncomfortable like as if someone was in the room. Tried not to think it's those "things"..... Turned on the tv again to keep myself awake... but still dozed off... And as usual got woken up few times... Until it was morning. Slept for 30 mins before I got ready.... Oh man! I'm not going back to that hotel again.

Think I was eating the whole of today. My aunts brought us out for lunch and then had tea break. Then had snack before dinner time... Woah! Tat's quite alot... But it was all yummy, famous dishes of Ipoh.. All worth it.. Plus it's FREE!! HAHAHA

Headed back to KL.... 2 hours drive... This time round wasn't so stressful as I remembered to take my radio with me... So I was blasting music in my ears the whole time. When reach KL, got lost and had to get Min to come help us... hehe.. KL road signs are terrible.. It usually comes on just before the turning....

Min made home-made wan ton mee.... Laura was the chef to help wrap the wan ton (will load pictures later)... It was yummy! Beta than those sold outside as this was done with lots of love!

I think Jen upon reading this... will make her stomach growl!

Ok.. Heading to KLCC tomorrow hopefully as I wanna get another bottle of hair serum for PJ.

Shall stop here... Min & the rest waiting for me to join them for beer and peanuts....

Full of Malaysian Food

It's been 2 nights since I've arrived in KL. Great seeing PT, Min, Laura & Adam and joined by Ian and Ella.. and the rest of the family. The kids are enjoying each other's company while the adults are sometimes stressed out over kids or men... haha

I've been out shopping at Ampang Point. It's like Junction 8. Small but a compact place where you can find almost everything. There's even Dunkin Donuts! Good news for Jen! I bought a tee and a jacket. The jacket was cloth kind but very comfortable. Only RM 23.90. There were lots of stuffs too but not a necessity for me to get it. Wanted to get the nokia battery, cost RM 50. But PJ said not worth it as the products they get from Singapore. My phone battery is conking out.. But if I charge it the whole day, put the ringing tone to beep, it can still last me the whole day. My colleague said she will try to get a free nokia battery for me.. hehe

Second day went to KLCC... My sister wanted a haircut and colour. Found a salon called Fusion. Charges for colouring was between RM120-180. Cutting was RM55. But then she did another hair treatment.. Total price came up to RM320.... My brother in law almost fainted when he saw his wife.. As the hairstyle still looks the same, the colouring was suppose to be brown but turn out black instead. In another words, it looks like the RM320 spent was for a old hairstyle! Nigel was feeling heart-pained! My sister's answer to Nigel was "this is your gift to me, as I don't get a present for many years"... Nigel just kept quiet... hehe

There wasn't much to buy in KLCC as everything was expensive or not worth for that price. Items in Singapore are still much cheaper. So we only bought snacks or just checking out prices of electrical stuffs. Saw the Nikon Coolpix.. Selling at RM650. Nigel said he got it for US150.. That's pretty cheap!

When we returned home, Ian saw his mum and said "ugly hair, not nice".. Sis was sad... Haha... When PT heard about the cost of the hair, he was like.. "Who would pay that amount when there's no change in the style or colour".... So I guess by now, you all know the amount spent wasn't worth it.. But what's done can't be undone....

At last quietness in the house.... Imagine 3 kids playing all day long.. The noise is...... Phew!
Peace at last due to PT, Nigel and my sister being out on a "date". PT brought them to a bar to relax. Nice bar according to PT as he went on a date with Min.

Finally I got to sit on PT's SMART car... Did you know SMART stands for "Swatch Merz Art". It's a real cool car. With a sun roof too. It's a two seater car. Doesn't eat up much oil too. Felt good sitting in it.. Cute too.. Will load pictures when I get home.

Went to a malay hawker for dinner.. We had satay, cockles, ikan billis fried rice, nasi lemak, mango juice, more satay... Very good.. I've had alot to eat since I got here. Rotiboy, prata, home-made bread... etc... Too many to remember all.

Gals, that's my report for the 2 days.. hehe.. though I still sms you 2... I'll be doing more of that tomorrow as I'm going to go to Ipoh..... Quite a boring place though. Just hope I don't bump into that asshole!

Ok.. I'm going to take a shower now... Talk to you later via sms...

Already starting to miss you all...... :P

Cheers!
