Hot N Cold of 2008

Today is the last day of 2008. I will definitely miss everything I've done throughout the year. There's been good and hard times. There's alot I had been through, from Jan-Dec many things had happened and people came in and out. I learn from experience to become a better person.

In the end of the day, I am still who I am. I stay in the same house and work in the same place for over a year now and still no plans to change. I am happy living with my best mates Nigel and Mahaendra, we are like a family. During April - July, Joshua lived with us for this short period to complete his internship. There's ups and downs and some controversies in between but we are all still best mates ever.

In May, I watched Janice My First concert at Stadium Merdeka. I love her so much. She had a beautiful voice. I will keep supporting her.

In June, my sister left for Australia to pursue her career over there. I miss her very much. I'm sure we will reunite soon.

It's funny to highlight that I joined California Fitness in July. I enjoyed workout but I still need to work hard to lose more pounds.

October was just wonderful. Firstly, my cousin Fenny got married to Terry. What a lovely couple they are. Next was Jamuan Raya (pot luck style) at my office. Me, Ijai and Cat sponsored a Chocolate Supreme cake. And finally, I toured Beijing with my colleagues. It's Autumn, the weather was dry cold and windy. There's still sunshine and the sky was blue. Beijing was a historical and beautiful city.

And it comes to December. The most unforgettable moments was during the X'mas eve. I dinner with Jozef, Simon and Larry. We had a great time and lots of fun. I'm looking forward for tonight, I'll go for karaoke at Neway Times Square from 7pm until midnight then countdown and watch fireworks at Sg Wang.

There's alot to plan and I have high hopes for 2009. I hereby wish everyone Happy New Year!!!

Wonderful Night

I have had a most wonderful night on X'mas eve. I went to dinner with some friends at Pavilion. The food was nice but I got full very quickly. Then we play dice game and loser will be punished. The punishment was very very embarassing and crazy but we enjoy very much and had lots of fun. Can't describe how embarassed and fun as we really did it. The game ended before the X'mas countdown and we exchanged presents. I really wish the whole night was filmed and recorded. The madness, craziness and fun was still fresh in my mind. All this memories will be kept as long as I live. I hope next year will be amazing and more fun. Pics were uploaded in my Facebook so get there to view. Preview:

Merry X'mas

It is the most wonderful day of the year. X'mas trees and decorations everywhere. This X'mas will be great. I will be joining some friends to have dinner on X'mas eve and hang out until countdown for X'mas. I'm so excited, just 2 days to go... And on X'mas day I will hang out with my mum, walk around the town, go shopping and have lunch/dinner together. The previous X'mas was in the clubs countdown and get crazy. I have had enough and clubbing is not my scene for this time round. Will get some pics here soon after the dinner. See ya!

Busy December

This December is quite a busy month for me. Office work is always busy. Additionally, my office will move by end of the month. So loads of packing work to do soon. And another thing is I need to do a presentation for appraisal. Still haven't prepare yet. At home, I have to do some cleaning and clearing. Really tiring.

Feel The Beat

The place was packed. The beat was strong. People was rocking on the dancefloor. I could feel the atmosphere. I'm so into the club. I went with a couple of friends. And I met new friends too... they're my friend's friend. So I've had put some pics of the night in my Facebook and as usual I'll put a preview here:

Something Unusual

It happened last Saturday while I'm clubbing with my friends. We were dancing hot to 'I Stay In Love (Club Mix) by Mariah Carey'. Suddenly the music slowdown and fade to silent. We were surprised and stopped dancing. Then the lights were on. Oh my god, it was the police officer who came up to do a random checkup. Lucky me and my friends didn't get caught to do checkup but it was no big deal cos we didn't take any drugs. One of my friend who was just 20 was scared to death as he was underage. Without waiting any longer in the club, we tried to get out by flashing our IC to the police officer before exit. My underage friend came out safely. Soon after that we left to have a drink and supper before heading home. This incident was something unusual to me and it was my first experience.

Festive Plans

Not much happening during the year end that I hardly post something here. Still no plans up for this Christmas and New Year. Get me some ideas please...!!!

In The Club

Just to drop a line saying 'Hi' to everyone and to mention that I'm doing good now. I'm sorry for lack of updates to this blog. Just went clubbing last weekend with my friends. Quite enjoy and dances alot on podium/stage.

It's Britney, Bitch!!!

Last year Britney opens the MTV VMA show with "Gimme More" and resulted bad media reviews but it didn't effect her previous album "Blackout" sales which surprisingly selling big worldwide and reached #2 on Billboard 200. This year Britney opens MTV VMA again with a very positive image and gets supports from artists, fans and the media. Soon after the appearance, Britney releases her latest single "Womanizer" that reached #1 spot in Billboard Hot 100, iTunes chart and numerous charts worldwide. Her second single from the new album will be the album-titled track called "Circus". The album will be released on 2nd December 2008 which is a promising album with great producers and a back-to-track Britney herself.

Beijing Tour

It has been planned few months ago. During last month it nearly canceled. And after a few discussion, the plan goes on. And today I wrote this post to tell that I will fly to Beijing tonight. The date hasn't been changed, it was on 24 - 28 October 2008. I'm so excited and can't wait for tonight's flight. Well, I'll post loads of pics and stories about this Beijing Tour once I get back to KL. Cheers!!

MIE Raya 2008

Today has been a wonderful day as my company held a Raya party. Loads of nice food, nice drinks and all MIE staffs were present (except the ITT site team)... And I'd quickly upload some pics from the party set. Click here to view.



I bought this cake... It's called "Chocolate Supreme"...

Fenny's Wedding

Yes. She's my cousin, Fenny, who get married last week. The whole experience was great. My mum did make-up and hair-do for her. Anyway, congratulations and wish them happy ever after. I had uploaded some pics in my Friendster photo album. Click here to view.

Kuih Raya 2

Another kuih raya hamper. This time is from my company MIE, not Maju. The wrapping and decoration is fantastic.

Kuih Raya

I've got something nice today. It was a pretty box with loads of kuih raya inside it. It was a gift from Maju to all staffs. Nice to see, nice to eat but bringing this heavy box home really troublesome.

Buffet Dinner

Just last Monday my company organized a Majlis Buka Puasa at Cafe D'Jala Mas, Istana Budaya. It was a buffet dinner. From main course to snacks and finally dessert which was wonderful. I ate alot. Find out the pics here.

Hari Raya Coming

Another festival's coming. The Hari Raya!!! Today I and some colleagues decorated the entrance and front desk. With the blinking lights, ribbon ketupat and raya cards as well. Really cool.

Tonight hopefully will attend a party at Oblique.

Cousin Wedding

I hardly put a new post lately as I'm really busy with my work and normally be very tired when I reach home. I'm repeating the same routine everyday which makes me bored and so tiring.

And my cousin, Fenny, will get married in early October and I'll be attending her wedding ceremony. It is like going to hometown and have a big dinner with all relatives that never seen each other for a very long time.

1st Anniversary & Merdeka Day

It's September!!! Can't believe I live here for 1 year already. Still in the same house but alot different from last September. New paints and furnitures. It also means that I'm working with MIE for 1 year now. I never thought I been through all this. So happy to be here eventhough I'm away from my family. I still see my mom and dad but seldom. My sis in Australia so the only way to see her is through webcam.

Saturday night, the Merdeka eve night, I didn't go anywhere, didn't celebrate and didn't attend any party. I just stay at home and wait until 12am to watch fireworks from my room's windows. I can see loads of fireworks at Bukit Bintang area, Dataran Merdeka and Mid Valley. It's wonderful.

My Workstation

Not to mention about work anymore cos only one word to describe, BUSY. Well, just take a look at my workstation (pic above). Everything seems ok except the lousy computer.

Alright, let's talk about my current life. My plan for tomorrow (Saturday) is going to The Curve to do facial and some shopping. Sunday will be hanging out at the gym.

New albums to recommend:
1. Jill Vidal (Wei Si) - Jillympics
2. Suki Low - Finally Akhirnya
3. Rolling Love OST

The Make-Over

It's been busy over the past few weeks. I'd lots to do in office. New projects coming in and the on-going big project still not completed yet. Design, documentation, submission and meeting, meeting, meeting, it's all my job. Really busy!!!

Not getting enough busy in office, I had plenty to do at home. Just done some home improvement, as shown in pics below. My wall had been painted white and I bought new furniture to cherish my room. It was all done by myself. Really tiring!

Upgrade

Helloooo....! I've just upgraded my CF membership from Gold to Platinum. Now I can access to all clubs in Malaysia. My plan of going back to my hometown has been cancelled so there will be no plans for today. No clubbings for this month as I don't have the mood to go...

Study Plan

Nothing really exciting to write about during the past week. Just to mention that I've joined California Fitness and hope I could workout a better shape. Yesterday was quite a shock for me as someone from UTHM called me and asked me if I'm interest to further study and they had a place for me. If I do, they require me to register on the 17th. It's too rush and I can't just go like that. I have too many things to settle in KL. And UTHM is quite far, it was located in Batu Pahat, Johor. So I've made up my mind not going to UTHM and I will continue working for now. Study plan may have to push to next year. However, I MUST study next year. I'm running out of time.

Eye Surgery

It was a very scary moment when the eye specialist doctor said I have to cut that thing from my left eye. I have nothing much to say but just say "ok doctor, just do it..." In my mind, it was all fear and I'm shaking all the way during the surgery. Quite painful but it just last for few minutes. Then I have to dress my eye for 2 hours. During this 2 hours was quite hard for me. My right eye got really tired as it's the only eye that function. Today was a historical day to me.

Fly To Sydney

Genting Tour

Just back from Genting Highlands yesterday. Been there on Sunday, just hang around the garden and casino. Not into the theme park anymore cos it was too tiring for me. Also took loads of pics and have been uploaded later in Friendster. Click here to view. The weather was freezing cold at night. Enjoyed very much.

P/S: My last visit to Genting was on 11 May 2008.

Life Goes On

It's been over a week since my last post. Many things happen. Life goes on. I'm still living my life. Repeating the same routine daily. My car borrowed to my sister for 2 weeks before she left for Australia on 28 June. UPU is out and I didn't get an offer but I'm happy with the result. Now I have to focus on my work. Further study may have to push to next year.

It's Monday

It's Monday again!!! What a hectic and exhausting weekend I've had. Saturday night I hit Market Place with Nigel. It was a great night out. The club was really packed and crowded. I enjoyed very much. And last night I went to the pub again. This time I was in real drunk. But I feel fresh when I woke up this morning. LOL.

Meet Old Friend

It was just last night I met my old friends and had some drink in a pub. We got a little bit drunk and get crazy. I really enjoyed last night. I even sang a song "My Love My Fate" by Janice. How cool! The pub was listening to me. My friend, Alvin sang together with me so I didn't felt nervous. I get a little emotional when singing this song. The feel was totally different from singing in a karaoke room. Oh yeah, I met a new friend too. Below is a picture of me and my friends in the bar last night:

Work Mode

I'm currently set to Work Mode. Lots of work to be done both at office and home. I'm quite busy this week. At office as usual must be busy with the projects - design, reports, documentation and submission. At home I'm busy with the clothes (wash and iron) and the kitchen (cook for dinner). I even have to workout at gym too. I do think 3 times a week of workout are enough but I'm not shaping up though. So I think 4 to 5 times a week of workout are more appropriate. I need to shape up and lose-weight. My focus is on my tummy. I want to reduce at least 2 to 3 inches on my waist.

So Yesterday

Just past another weekend and my birthday was just yesterday. What I did during the weekend was clubbing at Market Place on Saturday night. On Sunday I dinner with my family. Yesterday (Monday), I took MC leave to rest and went to karaoke with Nigel. It's been alot of fun singing and we even recorded about 8 tracks. They sounds good, funny and crappy. Haha.. I won't post the tracks anywhere on the web as no one will ever listen to. But who knows 1 or 2 tracks will leak somehow.

About my birthday, I got loads of birthday wishes from email, sms, call, friendster, myspace and other websites. Thanks to all of you. But too bad this birthday no one bought me a cake. I would love a belated birthday cake if anyone wish to buy for me. Haha.. And I just got a present from my sis and a card from my friend. Others treat me for dinner and karaoke. Still cool. That's it.

Mel & Joshua Cooking

Last night we cook for our dinner. The theme was 'Ginger'. Ginger may helps to reduce stomach bloating and improves blood circulation. So we cooked a Ginger Chicken and a Ginger Egg Soup.

The Ginger Chicken, best known as braised chicken with ginger, is a famous Chinese home cuisine.
Ingredients : Chicken, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, water and corn flour.

The PERWAJA Experience

It was a great experience to see the PERWAJA steel mills in Kemaman and Gurun. Kemaman-based PERWAJA is actually to collect raw material and produce billets. The billets then send to the Beam & Section Mill in Gurun to roll into beams or sections. The mills was huge. I just don't get a chance to see the rolling process as I have to attend meeting.

Every trip to PERWAJA was tiring. Travel from KL - Kemaman or KL - Gurun takes at least 4 hours drive. Lucky I don't have to drive. But sitting in the car for hours may lead to back pain.

I've uploaded some photos for both Kemaman and Gurun PERWAJA mill in my friendster photo album. Take a look!

My June

It's been busy over the week. Loads of projects on hand. Loads of work to be done. It's end of May and next month many things will happen. My birthday is on 2nd June, celebration on 1st June (night). The UPU will announce around mid of June. Dilemma will come and decision has to be made. What I gonna do now is to enjoy every moment of my current life. Who knows by July there will be a big change in my life. Time tells it all.

Fun Bowling

Just to report on the bowling tournament last night. It was very fun to play with all my colleagues. Some were really good and some were just beginners. I didn't win and didn't lose. My point was average, not the champion and not on the bottom line. Pics will be uploaded to my Friendster photo album. Check it out here!!!

Tenpin Bowling Tournament

My last bowling competition was last year, when I represented my class DKA6B and won the 5th prize. I really couldn't believe our group of 5 would grabbed a hamper prize since we really, really seldom play bowling and we didn't even had any practice. It was all of a sudden we participated the competition and we just go for it. But basically we knew some skills which helped alot. Normally I play 1 or 2 games which enough to make my right hand pains. In the competition, I had to play 3 games. Oh my!!! Can you imagine and feel the pain?

After a year, and now my company organise a tenpin bowling tournament where all staff must participate. We are divided into 7 groups and play for 3 games. Again!!! My right hand will be... you know what I mean. The date, time and venue have been confirmed which is on 15 May 2008, 8pm at Ampang Point. Not sure about the prizes. Photos and reports will be up as soon as the tournament over.

Janice My First Concert (Live in Malaysia)

Good show!!! She sang so well and her voice was great. Can't believe she could sang some mandarin songs so, so well. She even performed her latest songs live for the very first time. I was so touched and miss her very much. I'm full of sweet memories watching her concert. She add in alot of extra performances for the Malaysian show. I'm quite satisfied with her show. Guest artist including Charles Ying and Joey Tang. Click here to view the photos. Below was the setlist:

1.愛才

The only thing I would complaint was the venue. I don't really like that outdoor stadium. The stadium was old and lousy and the weather was hot that night. I would suggest Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil or Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands. Can't the organiser choose a better place!!??

Boring Weekend

It's been a lazy and boring weekend. Just stay at home watch drama, listen music and play game. Feel like dying on Friday and Saturday night. No clubbing. Only on Sunday went to Mid Valley and hanged around. Glad it was Monday today and got back to work, at least not as boring/lazy as staying at home like a cow. Monday is always busy. But this weekend will be happening. Just can't wait.

Depart at 5.30pm from Ipoh and will arrive KL around 8.00pm, the boys' first stop will be Pavillion KL for some shopping. Then will stop by somewhere to take supper before heading home.

No Water

I've been suffering 2 days due to water supply problem. It was last Thursday, the 1st day no water supply to my house. I got home from work and open the tap. Not even a drop of water. Then I grab my key and drive to my office to take a shower at the gym centre. The next morning still no water. I brushed my teeth and wash my face with mineral water in the bottle. Then change and go to work. After work I shower at gym centre before went home. Reached home, there's water but very slow. The pressure is still low. I washed everything, dishes and clothes. Then took another shower. It's quite hot. After all I've done, the water went out again. Then on Saturday morning, the water came back but still slow. By night, the water return to normal.

The reason of no water supply was the Syabas workers do maintainance work at the main pipe and they turned off the water tap. Then after their work they forgot to turn on the tap. That is where the problem came out. Our water tank went out of water and take days to flow full.

Goodbye Fifi

Just to say goodbye to my colleague Fifie. Good luck to you. Hope you be successful in your career and life. Goodbye!

My Plant

Hi ya alls. It's been a busy week with loads of work. Just last few days I plant 4 little bamboo for decoration. I put 1 at my office and 3 at home. Pics as below:

Yummy

Today I cooked Curry Chicken&Vege for dinner. Considered the first time I cook it. Simple ingredients: Garlic, onion, chicken, lady fingers, long cabbage, coconut milk and a packet of ready-mix curry paste. Not the curry that I expect but it still delicious. I expect a malay-style curry chicken but it was a nyonya-style curry chicken. Next time have to becareful when choosing the curry. Anyway, I've got a pic here:

Experience

Just to share a special occasion on last Saturday. I went to the Majlis Tamat Latihan & Konvokesyen Inspector PDRM. What a nice experience. It's the first time I attend this kind of event. I took some pics too. Have a look!

Over

Alright.. April Fools is over, I'm lucky no one fools me. Convo is over, I get my diploma and loads of pics. But work and life is not over yet. As usual I'm working right now and just steal a few minutes to post a blog. Nothing much to write. Just to let you know I'll be filming some home video, all about cooking, and will broadcast on youtube. Expected to start next month.

I'm currently watching a romance drama <新不了情> starring Fiona Sit. She perform great in her acting and singing.

Convo

Hi ya all!!! I've been having an amazing time over this 2 days in Ipoh. I took a bus to Ipoh on Monday after work. Then on Tuesday morning I went to Perak Tong to "Haang Ching". In the afternoon, around 2.00pm, I went to Poli for Convo Rehearsal. From registration to demonstration on stage, the rehearsal end around 5.30pm and I went to Campus B to collect the robe. The big day, big event finally came. Today I woke up around 6.30am, clean up myself and dress up formal before putting on the robe and a gold medal. Everything went on well and the ceremony ended by 12pm and I got out of the hall and started to snap loads, loads of memorable pics with my mom and my friends. Then we went to take lunch before returning the robe and collect my diploma certs and transcript. Soon after that, I went home and packed up and drove back to KL. Below is a pic taken during convo. For more, go to my Friendster page and view the 37th PUO Convocation album. Thank you. Be right back!!!

Office

This is Aman and 'Atiyah. We're having lunch break at the office.

Election 2008 : Voting Experience

This is the first time I vote in the general election. On 7th March, I took half-day leave and took bus to Ipoh at 4.30pm. The bus station was really buzzing. Lucky I bought the bus ticket few days earlier, if not I won't get a bus on that busy day. Reached Ipoh around 7.30pm and went straight home to have dinner. And at night, hang out with friends at Oldtown Kopitiam Medan Ipoh. The next day, 8th March was the election day. I woke up at 11am and got ready by 12pm. Before breakfast, I dropped by SMGR to cast a vote.

At the entrance, there was a SPR counter to check my serial number and voting room. My serial is 3088 at room No. 5. Then I queued for a while (just 3 person ahead). Once entered the room, I showed my IC and they checked in the list. After confirmed, they gave me 2 piece of card (one for Parlimen and one for DUN) and I walked to the box and draw a cross at the party that I support. Finally, I put those cards into the voting boxes (Parlimen and Negeri) and I went off to have breakfast. The voting process is fast and simple. As a Malaysian, we have the right to decide and choose. I had done my responsibility, have you? If no, please register and vote in the next election. On how to register, go to http://www.spr.gov.my/ to check it out.

Ok, after all that voting, I went back to KL and arrived by 5pm. The election result announce at night. The place I cast vote (Gopeng area), PKR (Parti Keadilan Rakyat) won. While the place I stay in KL was also won by PKR. By midnight, PKR supporters of Bandar Tun Razak celebrated their glory by gathering and lining up cars and motorbikes (with PKR flags) and went round and round the whole BTR area and hon-ed noisily. It was quite disturbing cos it was midnight and most people was already slept.

Pain at Knee

I've already MC for 3 days due to my knee pain and doctor say it could be the joint or uric acid that cause the pain. The doctor take my blood for test and I will see her again on Friday. She gave me 'Pain Killer' and anti-gastric medicine. My knee pain when I bent my legs especially when standing up from the seat, walking up and down the stairs. Any movement that bent my knees will be pain. Even I have to walk slowly on a flat path. I remember on Monday morning, when I woke up, my legs were like disabled and couldn't move until I force it to move and feel the pain.

This is not the first time my knee pain. Few weeks ago the same situation happen but I think maybe I did more cardio at gym that caused the pain and I just ignored it, go to work as normal, climb up and down the steps at LRT station. I just stand the pain. But this time was different. My last gym was on Saturday evening. The pain starts on Sunday night. It's more than 12 hours gap. Maybe doctor is right, I have to wait for the blood test report and see what happen.

This is a pic of my painful left knee:

Here I Go

Ok, it's time for a little change. I've change the blog title, 'Here I Go' which means that a new start should begin from now on. I wish my blog will be live, interactive and entertaining. Be right back!!!

This is a short tour into my lovely home in Bandar Sri Permaisuri. Well, it's just a demo version and I really hope I can make a complete full version with me as presenter and some music background to make it less boring... But for this moment, slightly take a look and get the idea of my home.

Overall, it's abit messy and untidy especially the kitchen. Well, I'll do some improvement and shoot another clip, a much better one!

It's Friday!!!

Oh well... it's Friday today... yeah!!! Tomorrow and Sunday off. Should have start planning from now on. Today I will not go to gym so maybe I'll go home and have a good sleep. I'm really tired and exhausted. Need to recover and recharge my energy. Tonight will be going to Tesco Extra to shop for some goods.

For tomorrow, the plan should be... wake up late (around 12-1pm), cook something to eat, do some housework and go to gym by evening. At night will be clubbing (maybe) cos I got an free entrance SMS.

And Sunday, wake up late as usual then go to Kepong for a haircut and colour and dinner with my sister (steamboat?? haha...)

Fitness

Hello...! How you guys doing? This topic I'll talk about fitness since I had just joined California Fitness (just for a one-month trial and right after that I'll back to Maju Gym). Nothing is to be highlighted on gym cos I'm doing the same thing but the difference in CF is that they have loads of machines. I can learn more and workout more. Hope for a effective workout and get my body in shape.

Beside gym, I do have a diet plan. It's simple and I hope it helps. For breakfast, I take wholemeal bread with peanut butter and a glass of yogurt drink. Lunch too, bread with peanut butter or sausage cheese bun. And for dinner, it's either salad (with a little sliced sausage) or vegetable soup (with a little sliced chicken).

Music: Ashanti's new music video is hot and perfect for her hit single 'The Way That I Love You' off her upcoming album 'The Declaration'. Can't wait for the album.
Mariah Carey's new single 'Touch My Body' is available to listen on her official website. Looking forward for the video and album 'E=MC²'.
The Spice Girls will end their reunion tour on 26th February 2008 at Spice City Toronto. Hope for a DVD release.

Movie: I'm downloading 'The Parent Trap'. The movie was about 10 years back but still my favorite. Starring young Lindsay Lohan, who took 2 roles as twin sisters.

CNY Report

Happy Chinese New Year!!! Wish all you guys good luck and happy always. For working people, earn more money this year. For student, good luck for exams and get good grades. What a year had past and the new beginning is now started. New year new ambition new mission new plan. That's how it should begin the year. Get everything set and work hard to achieve it and then in the end of the year see the result.

Today is the 5th day of CNY, just got back to KL yesterday and working today. Still not getting enough of the holiday and the celebration. For me, everything is back to normal now (there still some people who still on holiday!). However, today been a busy day since 10 days on holiday but I still could get my jobs done. So here I tell some stories during the CNY.

On the CNY eve, I have dinner with my family. Not much to describe the dinner cos we're eating out. Then I hang out with my friends until late night, around 4am. Then at 5am I got to go to the temple to burn the extra large joss-stick. Right after that, I have breakfast with my parents and we're having dim sum at a favorite and famous restaurant. We've waited around 30 minutes for the seats. Then we went home and I cooked mee suah for lunch. Then only I have some time to sleep until afternoon when my relatives came to my house. Quite busy and noisy, but that's the atmosphere of CNY. At night, another group of relatives came. This time the younger ones which are my cousins. We went out for a drink at Oldtown Kopitiam (Ampang, Ipoh) before heading to the club in Ipoh Garden East. My sister and the cousins went to Sincero, but I'm more interested to join my friends at Friends Cafe. So I missed clubbing and went making appearance at Friends. It's full but lucky my friends were there early and get a place.

The 2nd day of CNY was abit boring, playing mahjong with my mom and grandmom and that's the day. But at night, I hang out with some friends. Back late too. The next day, 3rd, I went for a drink at Oldtown Kopitiam (Greentown, Ipoh) with 2 of my ex-classmates. We online there and chat for hours. Then I back home to have a rest and shower and play mahjong for a while before heading to Ipoh Garden East for dinner with my friends. After dinner we went to Friends again. And that's it.

The 4th morning, I drove my dad and 2 of my friends to KL. The highway was jam from Simpang Pulai to Tapah and right after Tapah, the traffic goes smooth. I think that's how I celebrate this year's CNY.

All New

Hellooooo...! Just a little update for this week. Working 4 days and today (Friday) already holiday. And I'll on leave/holiday until next Sunday due to CNY celebration. Well, today I've done a hair cut, a fresh new style for me that I hardly accept but now it's ok and just fine. Then I went to Bukit Bintang and shop for some clothes and a pair of shoes. Not much clothes I've bought but will be the most stunning and outstanding ones. Hope this year have a very happy Chinese New Year!
And here I reveal one of my CNY fashion.

CNY 2008

Hello...! It's been a while since my last entry. Well, Chinese New Year is just around the corner. The town had been busy, people shop for goods, and clothes of course! I've bought 2 new shirts for work and a trendy jeans. I still need to buy some t-shirts this Saturday (tomorrow) hopefully or maybe next week. I have the time for shopping but money matters now. Next week money will be in the bank (end of month already, hehee..!). This CNY will be very budget.

I will drive to hometown with some friends on 5th February, Tuesday morning and there will be a gathering on the big night out the same day. So catch me in Ipoh from 5th - 10th Feb.

Just downloaded a CNY album by MY Astro. I'm not really into the festive songs anyway.

New Furniture

Hi guys! It's been busy over the week and I just have this little time to drop a line here. Well, first news from me is my room is now fully completed. As I already mentioned earlier, I painted my room with Tropicana green and furnished with a new bed. And now it comes 2 side tables on both sides of my bed. And there's a stand lamp at the corner. I bought them from IKEA. I really love my room now, very comfortable and relaxing. The feel is totally different after the big renovation. But I put all the cost on my room and resulting I couldn't be able to buy new clothes for Chinese New Year at the moment until I get my next salary. Today is already 15 Jan, time goes by really fast.

Secondly, I've planned to back to my hometown to celebrate CNY on the 5th of February (CNY on 7&8 Feb). I will take 2 days leave so that I could go back earlier but I think the highway will be very jam. I'll resume work on 11 Feb (Monday).

Entertainment: Just downloaded and watched Wars of In-Laws 2 episode 1-6. The drama is really, really funny and I can't get enough watching it over and over again. I'm now downloading episode 7-9. Gary Chaw's new album was great. I loved the songs. Janice new song had put to the wave and it sounds great too. Hoping the new album out soon.

Recovery

What a boring Monday! But still full of works to do. I'm not 100% recovered from cough and flu and still taking the medicine which will effect drowsiness and I'm just feeling sleepy now. Hope and pray my illness will recover soon.

Saturday was a tiring day for me because my ex-coursemate came and stayed at my place and we went shopping the whole day. Sunday abit relax and lazy, I just stay at home lying on the bed watch drama the whole day and take some instant noodles. Just like a patient in the hospital. Haha!

On Downloads: War Of In-Laws 2 (TVB drama) & Spice Girls Live at Earl's Court.
On Music: New album from Gary Chaw 'Super Sunshine' & Fahrenheit '2-Sided Fahrenheit' & F4 'Waiting For You'.
Coming Up: New album by Stephy Tang 'Stephilosophy' & new Leo Ku live DVD 'The Magic Moments 2007'.

Happy New Year 2008

Happy New Year everyone!!! It's been an amazing night on the New Year's Eve. There were countdown events everywhere in KL, e.g. Sg. Wang, Pavillion, KLCC, The Curve, etc. And even the clubs held countdown parties. Of course I'm in the club with my best friends. This year's NYE was the most exciting one because we are totally different. We wore weird but fashionable clothes for the first time in our lives. And in the club, I think we're the most spectacular ones.

On the New Year day, I just stay at home relax after the hectic and tiring night. And at night, I had my dinner at Mid Valley and caught cold. My nose were running and I just can't sleep through the night. Then I MC the next day. Went to the panel clinic and get some medicine and then back home sleep again cos the medicine have drowsiness effect.

So it comes to today, the 3rd of January where I'm in the office writing this post. Still not recovered from the cold yet.
