Reality sinking in...

for a moment yesterday i felt reality is sinking in, as we were discussing about what's gonna happen after marriage...i've been pre-occupied with the wedding, that the 'full stop' seems to have just stopped there...haha..i'm such a torty...the thought of not coming back home for dinner on a daily basis...the thought of not seeing my parents everyday after work, but only few times in a week...'oh no....' 'how leh...' 'well, like that lor..' 'what to do...' 'you'll get used to it...' 'everyone will too get used to it...'

to be continued...lai2

Have some randoms thoughts to share here..

why random?

hmm....was browsing several sites/blogs...hence the randomness of my mind..

am having some mixed feelings...cant determine what it is really..the feeling of knowing someone you are close to, yet not knowing..so close yet so far?? what other discoveries about that person that has not been made?? or it's just a different way of expression oneself which I aint familiar with?? tak tahu...

2nd thought...how would this blog turn out to be 10 years down the road?? would the topics be revolving around our kids, family life and in-laws by then?!? haaa, more important question, is this blog still sustainable then ?!? tak tahu...its mixed feelings in me again to revist the blog's older posts and recall the moments then...

life is full of uncertainties indeed...but at least there's one Thing in this world that is certain..and the thought of having Him in me comforted me...

something joyous to share...this uncle earns a meagre living of 300+ a month on odd jobs and spent 100 on cigarettes alone! He was recruited into quit smoking clinic and today he came back for his first visit to share that he stopped smoking de! I promised him today to get him a piggy bank, so that he could see how much he'd saved by the end of the quit smoking course :) was really delighted to see his smiling and joyful face today :) pray he'd be free from this 'smoking bondage' soon...

a good wake up call

initially, didn't thought of telling anyone abt this incident........now, hv another opinion. wld like u guys to know so that u r aware n won't act recklessly like me. looking back on it, i realised that i was v lucky.....prob my guardian angel was ard that day n saved me.

last sun, i woke up early, ard 8am (which was a vvv rare occurance for me, considering that i'm a night person) n i cldn't go back to sleep. msged lai2 n ss.....considering among all of us, they were the 1s most likely to wake up early but tat day, i think i even beat them to it. seeing no response fr them, i decided to take a walk ard the neighbourhood.

when i say take a walk, i didn't mean "literally walk"....usually, what i do is drive ard in the car. similar to what i do last time in glasgow; walk ard in the middle of the night to clear my mind. here, in kl, i don't hv that privilege seeing as it's so hot n humid.

however, on this day, i was forced to literally walk while thinking things through as my car was blocked by my mom's car. without notifying any1, i jt walked ard the neighbourhood, with hopes of sorting out my troubled mind.

there was this rd which was quite lonely.....but it's really shady n not so warm.....not even sure y i sudd became aware there was some1 watching me. prob my guardian angel "at work".

noticed fr the corner of my eye - a van with a few plp inside following behind me. {well, here's the part where every1 will start cursing me for being so stupid n reckless.....}

{to my defence, it was always v safe ard my area....plus there were supp 2 b guards patrolling the area}

back to the story......i started walking faster n at a pt, i started jogging...all the while hoping that i wld meet up with some of the early jogging birds......no luck there. when i started speeding up, the van also accelerated, which really spooked me up.

luckily, to my far right, i noticed a hse whose gates was opened outside.....ran inside n started banging on the front door. an elderly couple opened up n was quite surprised to see me, i wld sayoutside, the van stopped jt outside the gate but when the front door opened, it sped away.......it definitely gave me a v bad fright.

told the elderly couple what happened n they let me wait inside with them till their son came back n send me home. didn't tell my family this as u cld imagine what kind of response i wld hv gotten fr them. plus my mom wld totally freak out.

yes, it's all with due cause but i still prefer not to get drilled abt being so "stupid".

went back there yst afternoon.....not by foot this time. drove along the same stretch of rd......n it dawned on me if those plp in the van really had BAD intentions towards me, i might not be ard any longer. prob still ard, but at WHAT cost n in WHAT condition???

that's when i realised i hvn't told my family n u guys how much i love u all........might not hv even shown thru my actions as we don't get to see each other daily now. if i were gone, that wld hv been my BIGGEST regret of all. that's when i broke down in the car n cried for a full hr there.

this will forever be etched into my mind for all times........nvr procrastinate to tell those ard u how much u care n love them. not everything has 2 b said through words but at least, show them thru ur actions. i will try to do this for everyday of my life.....i wldn't know when i won't be ard to do this n i dun wanna leave this world full of regrets.

Inspiring Thoughts

Was blog hopping a while ago and stumbled on to this particular posting by 'Thiansu Beh'. It was titled "Life Would Go On".


What was written in it really inspired and lifted my mood.. Thought of sharing it with everyone following this blog and hope that it will brighten your day as much as it has brighten mine.


This is the zest of what was written...


Life is never easy, but it is never too hard as well.


You can be complaining about what you have, what you are doing now or even having problems with the people around you.. and feeling really upset and unhappy.


Try changing the way we think.


If we can change the way we think, if we can see things from another perspective, if we can try to think positively in many of the our thoughts, if not all, we can be more grateful with what we have now.


When you change your thoughts, your perception changes.

When your perception changes, your attitude changes too.

With your attitude changed, your behaviour changes as well.

Thus altering your habits and eventually your personality.


Hence,

never look down or underestimate every little changes you have made, for them the beautiful complex things are determined.

Never underestimate the changes of one person, for them the attitude of larger community is determined.

There is a saying, "When you change the way you see things, the thing that you see changes."

I am free !~!

Wah I've last written since March ! and I like this new look of our blog ! Talking about new look, remember the 'New Look' chain in the UK we used to frequent? Reminds me of the shirt I bought from the outlet and its time for me to sort out my wardrobe. Its time for me to sort out many other things too.

Today is a historical day, to me at least! Its been 2 years. I didnt quite know how these 2 years had passed. When I come to full realisation recently, I felt like my eyes have been un-blindfolded. I couldnt 'see' clearly except at the beginning, and now the end of this milestone of my life. Cant wait to move on to another one indeed ;)

I began to recall lately on how I was waiting anxiously for the news of Masters placement, whether its part time or full time. I wanted to do full time because I know I'm one who cant really multi task and afraid I cant cope. The Lord has His own timing and way of doing things. I didnt know until the week classes were already started. He didnt give me much time and space to decline this part time offer. Full time quotas had been filled then. I still wasnt convinced and wanted to switch to full time. Esp when there was a lady who dropped out and I could actually fill her place. But the lecturer didnt allow me too! I was so sad. Towards the end of the week, I was driving home and the Lord spoke - its His plan for me to take this way. Regardless of what I think my weaknesses and challenges are, He will see me through. I said ok Lord, since You said that, I've got no choice but to depend on You. It was His grace, mercy, wisdom and strength which sustained me throughout these 2 years :)

What is it to my gain through this narrow gate He took or rather 'forced' me through ;) ? The Masters degree is the least of all. I treasure the discipline, preseverance & faithfulness He'd taught me. Never say never, never say impossible. All things are possible with Him. I'm also grateful for the liberation & wellness He has granted to my soul from my past hurts during this period. No words could express fully. Above all, loving the Lord. Though I'm challenged, could I still say the same when I face trying times? When I have been stricken bare, nothing left for me?!? I dunno but I pray I'd still do.

And then, as I was driving today (yea driving time is a good time for me to just keep silent and listen to Him ;)), I said Lord I know myself, what I am really, what I have and what I deserve. Your mercy upon my life is too great for me. I dont know exactly what I could offer back to You, but I just avail myself.

This verse aptly described these 2 years, His grace is sufficient for me, for His power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me - 2 Corinthians 9.

I'm really excited being 'freed' ! hehe, almost felt like being released from jail ! It was such a simple luxury to just lie on the couch and talk on the phone today. Without having my work at the back of my mind. I still have many more things on hand to catch up, but I'd rather do a million more things than to do thesis. I cant say I hated thesis when I was in the midst of it, but I can now! hahaa...!! I said to a friend, I'd rather give birth than to do thesis ever again! can you imagine how intoxicated I was with it ?!? Nevertheless, I dont resent. I give thanks and am glad its over! Mission accomplised! :)

ok time for bed..sorry for a long, boring entry...trying to make up for the past months. and I just wanna testify His goodness :) with love, lai2

Jokes corner..

Think of putting up some jokes here to lighten up our days... most of them are not my jokes, and jokes are jokes la...nothing serious ok...
Hope more will contribute some jokes here la..

My Times UP?

A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to
the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God she asked 'Is my time up?'

God said, 'No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and
8 days to live.'

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and
have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck.
She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth!
Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.
While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, 'I thought you
said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from
out of the path of the ambulance?'



(You'll love this)




- God replied: 'I didn't recognize you.'

Quality changes the world

Was on the way to Immigration Dept Subang on Tuesday to make my passport when I saw this sign at the back of the lorry in front of our car

"QUALITY CHANGES THE WORLD"

I really like this phrase. It makes me think of what we can do to improve ourselves, our life, the service that we render to our customers. At times, when I am so caught up with paperwork, the stress of work, the boredom at home, it affects the quality of service that I give to my customers, or the attention that I give to people around me. In the process, I might have hurt people's feelings, unintentionally. Hence, a big big SORRY from me, if you have been the receiving end of my "unquality" attitude, I will learn to change and be a more quality person!!

New Police Story..Malaysian style

Heard this story recently from a fren's fren..let's call him A for simplicity. One night A was driving home in his WAJA after happy hours. He had alot of drinks so when he was stopped at a roadblock, he began to panic. He was thinking to himself, " Sei lo..sure kena this time"
The policeman on duty asked A, " U ada minum tak?
A answered, "takda takda" shaking his head, even though he was v drunk at that time.
However, before A is done with the breath analyser test and before the policeman can take down his details, there was an accident just behind them. The policeman was distracted by the commotion behind them and hence tell A, " ok laa, u boleh balik sekarang"
Happily, A went home to sleep.
The next morning, someone knocked on the door loudly. It's the policeman again.
Policeman asked fiercely: "Eh, u ada minum banyak ke semalam? "
Again, A denied and answered, "takda takda" shaking his head.
Policeman now super unhappy and asked A loudly, "
Kalau u takda minum, KENAPA BAWAK SAYA PUNYA KERETA BALIK RUMAH KAMU??
(A drove the police car-also a Waja back home, with d policeman's belongings inside,shotgun included!!)

Easter Celebration....

It was Easter last Sunday, and both LaiLai and I were invited by Miin2 to her church (City Harvest Church - CHC) for Easter Celebration.

As it was Easter, their CHC had put together a play/drama and Miin2 was participating as one of the leading actress.

The production was called - "i-ming"

Service was at 9a.m. So before heading to church, the Mr detoured and brought my sis and I for breakfast. Had 'zhu-zap mien' which literally means noodles with pork innards. Being the pork lover i am... i had to have everything.. the intestines, the tongue, liver, whatever that was available.. nah.. haha.. although i love pork, i still love the meat and nothing else. Occasional pieces of tongue and ear is still acceptable. Others... erm... i would rather skip it. It was simply delicious, the soup especially. Would love to have it again sometime soon....

Ok.. back to the play, overall i thought it was fantastic.

The actors were professional.. (*hint hint*... miin2... u were great), graphics were good and the transition between scenes were smooth.

The main focus of the play was on FORGIVENESS.

And i got a few 'take-home' messages from it and hopefully i will practice them more diligently now and in the future.

Extension....ahem..

Since no one is writing, I contribute something on behalf of fussyleong lah..this one comes from her customer this morning..

A Bangla customer came in this morning, malu-malu and showed her the "prescription" from his home country..On the piece of paper, it's written, " Fucking Time Extension Tablet".. Now I wonder, how many of us can keep a straight face after reading such a straight-to-point prescription... if only all prescriptions are so straight forward from now on!!

Part of me...no longer:)

Something has been part of my heart, part of my life, I didnt share with many. And I guess it's time for me to let go of it:)

I was at a very low pit last Friday. One of the few times my tears flowed almost unceasingly and uncontrollably. Prior to that, I was not doing well already and I just refused help. I refused to go to the Word. I refused to pray. I refused to seek help. I refused to be comforted and strengthened. I just wanted to dwell in the situation. Just didnt want to be picked up again. Hated and condemned myself. Cant seem to find my self worth, worth being in this world, lest having to add any value to it. 'No wonder ppl'd commit suicide', I thought to myself. Cos it just seemed the easiest way out to end one's misery. Wished God would just take me away and vanish me from the earth. This would be a cycle occuring quite consistently every 1-2 months, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer period. Haha I could actually blame the 'aunty' who visits me monthly.

At noon, I was contemplating whether to go to CF. I went at last and while walking, 3 words rang in my ears, 'I need prayer'. And I met the right persons there who offered their listening ears, tissue papers ;) and prayers. A Psy opinion was given and I was diagnosed as LLPPD - pre-menses emotional distress. If not careful, the distressing and depressing period can become chronic ie becoming depressed continuously. It's multifactorial - hormonal changes, current stress level, personality and childhood upbringing.

I was alone in the office after work and continued crying. Then, something led me to reaching the bible. Finally a time of rejoicing and liberation took place. That it dawns on me on what true righteousness is. Lord did not ask of me where I came from, what I could do, what I know, what I am capable of and what I have achieved. It is not how much compassion I show. How much I could serve. How clever I am. How efficient I am. How useful I am. But He asks of my trust in Him. ‘Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness - Romans 4:3’. He asks of my faith in Him. Which I wavered. Which I doubted. Which I refused to believe. How much fear I have in myself? How inconfident I am in myself? How low I was in the pit? Lord says, 'Will you not trust me for once? Will you not let go of your hands from the railing and let me carry you? To bring you greater places? Will you not trust me? Who I am in your life if the trust is so shallow. As good as nothing. No need at all'. What is the greatness of God if all have been done.

He picked me up once again. Thank you Lord. I could see the light again. He said ‘Be strong and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the Lord's temple is finished - 1 Chronicles 28'. He chose the young and inexperienced Soloman to build his house. And many others who are handicapped. Yet he said it is not my works He asks of. But faith, as precious as a refined jewel, more precious than gold. Nothing should separate me from the love of God. The gap should become smaller between God and I. So much so that it becomes easier to trust Him. To just come to Him. To plainly trust. Lord would you help me to overcome this...:)

It's still an ongoing battle to fight the evil one. But knowing the victory has already given to those who believe in Him on the cross, peace that surpasses all understanding reigns in my heart..to Him be all glory unto:)

The wedding...before and after...

i've been on leave for a week and i believe that most of u all think that it's more than enough. u know what?? i still got lots of stuffs to do... i have no time to breath..haha..

it's really hectic..

the above paragraph is written by me the day before my wedding...

i was throwing tantrum at my family members b4 the wedding and during the day. it's because no one is able to help me...instead, i need to take care of them, need to arrange transports and accomodations for the relatives..i need to arrange make-up artists for my family and my in-laws..too much..
my dad called me on thursday nite and i was shouted at him coz i couldn't hear him thru my hp. immediately, he asked my sis to go to pavillion to buy me a new Hp.. when he past me the hp at nite after i reach home, i was so touch and i cried..i regretted for being so rude.

during my wedding day, everything was going on smoothly..there were lots of hiccups but i wasn't particular.. i really enjoy the day.. it's the day given by GOD.. and i truly appreciate it. . i am so glad to see my parents and parents-in-laws happily walking around, talking to the relatives and their close friends...

now i am happily staying in kota kemuning with kong wah. i am reading the book given by yinkey and am sincerely praying for kw. i pray that he will take the initiative to care about his health, to change his diet.. i want to spend many many anniversaries with him..=)

Loneliness vs Hecticness

I guess it is time for me to have some input here. So i thought of writing loneliness vs hecticness.

I have been away from home for many years. This is already the sixth consecutive years. I have always been thinking, how much have I missed out throughout all these years? I couldn't stay by my parents side to spend more time with them; to be a good and responsible daughter and to at least do the minimal. At times when I think of my grandma who is now at her old age I couldn't stop my heart aches and my tears flowing.

The situation is a lot better now as my dad has started talking to him and my mum no longer shed tears while having family dinner. The worst seemed to be in history. I am grateful for this.

Because of logistic's issue I couldn't attend sushi and beautychock's weddings. And obviously I have missed out a lot on other things. This part of my heart always feels very lonely. I couldn't find any friends who would understand and support me as you would. Something is lacking. It obviously doesn't help when he has to travel so much. Almost during every overseas conversation I have asked him similar questions over and over again to reinstate my presence. I would throw tantrums if he didn't call me back when he said he would. I couldn't sleep all night and kept waking up every hour to check on my phone to see if there is any message or missed calls. I would become so upset and it was never easy. There was no one to talk to and to keep me accompanied. There was no way to express the emotion. At times i feel like i have chronic mild depression.

It is ironic as I am living in London, one of the busiest city in the world. There are so much to do! Sightseeing, museums and gallery, shopping, musical and theatres etc. But it was no point to do things alone. I think i am already doing a great job by dining in the restaurants all by myself and then catching some movies alone. Not too many people could envisage such situation. It wasn't for a short time. It is almost 3 years now, and it is still on-going. In the morning i urge myself to walk a little quicker so that i could reach office a little earlier. During work i told myself to run up and down a bit faster so that i could finish my work earlier. I even had to chew faster during lunch so that I could go back to work asap. It is busy and pre-occupied on the outside but empty inside me.

I am coping, I will keep trying and I will.

My thoughts...

i must say kong wah did a good role in photo shootings. he enjoyed every moment deeply and we really have fun through out the sessions.. it's tiring yet amazing..
this is the reason why the photo turns out nicely...
above all, i must thank GOD for placing kong wah into my life, arranging everything for me. through out the wedding preparations, sometimes i just forget to seek for HIS wisdom, but when i turn around i know HE is there for me...
just like lailai says, whenever i feel HIS presence, i am feeling back home again...

my mood of writing is back...=)

i haven't been writing for quite sometimes. usually it's due to my mood. if i am not in a good condition, my mood is not good...i won't choose to write.. bcoz i don't like to share my sadness with too many ppl...i am quite shy...haha
i was sad for the past few days bcoz i think i am putting on weight back...so i need to control my diet tightly now... i got less than a month to go...
too many things to be done and really little time for kw and i to communicate.. disagreements occurred and settled..
finally we have decided where to go for our honeymoon.
All this while we are thinking to UK bcoz he likes cold places and we wish to feel our memory back there when we were in UK.. we didn't decide it bcoz of the finances, our budgets are tight. By luck and by chance, (it's not convenient to share here...but some of u: momo and babei should have knew about it), i got some extra money and MAS has the airfare's reduction recently. after calculating our finances, we realise that we can make it finally...yeah...=)
we will go there in april for 2 weeks and the itenary is not planned yet... goon, here we come..=)
i have got my wedding pics.. i think we look really nice...haha..can't wait to share with everyone..
thank you so much for arranging the hen's night. i love u gals...

Coming home...

My Friday began with Word reading and journaling. I wrote something but I knew it was not true from my heart. I turned to the back page and began to pen down frankly how I really felt then, without having to hide or cover. It include my ill feeling towards some ppl...how incompassionate I've been to them...how indifferent and how cold I have been...only the Lord knows how I really was on the inside...

And these words sprang out - 'Matthew 12:7 I desire mercy, not sacrifice'...I've been praying and fasting for a miracle to happen. But it never did. Frustrating and almost giving up. Other things did not fall in place either. Almost nothing seemed right at one point. So much of unrestedness in me...how distant I feel from the Lord...

Until He says 'This is not what I ask of you'. But to be one whom He called me to be at workplace...in the ward...at home...in the cell...in my relationships...to be compassionate...to love one another as He has first loved me...

My day ended with this beautiful song. It sings like this:

'Somehow I realise I'm so tired of lies they keep telling me I should look down inside in myself to find something greater...When I know I can look at the bright side and find the Creator...I just need to spend one moment with you...Somehow it's a brand new world I'm passing through...You lift me higher, You let me see...Over the walls that surrounded me...Dont need to prove myself...Just need to show and tell..it's You in me - Juwita's You in Me'

Thank you Jesus, I came home again. It's hard to find my way home at times, but You never fail to lead me home each time:)

My Favourite Customer... (Part Two)

*Suppose to write a part two to my favourite retail pharmacist, but decided on writing this instead..hahha...how many of our customers are actually like this I wonder..

My Favourite Customer is someone who...

1. totally supports all our roadshows and actually buy some(if not all) products after coming for d FOC tests. Nothings comes free nowadays, even doctors charge for BP test, why shouldn't we?
2. ask precise and straight to the point questions. No beating around the bush or being long winded. (also, as simple question as possible)
3. understand our explanation immediately after we answer any questions regarding diseases or medicine or supplements.If still don't understand after the TENTH explanation, there's always the internet.
4. don't mind taking a whole load of supplements from A to Z, from EPO to fish oil, as long as we recommend..it's really good for them!!
5. will help to recommend their family, their yee ma gu jie sam ku lok po(2nd mother aunty sister 3rd aunty 6th grandma), their zhu pang kow yau(pig fren dog foe) the whole load of supplements from A to Z, from EPO to fish oil,again as long as we recommend..it's really good for them!!
6. will not come and disturb me when I am having my breakfast, lunch or dinner. Look for the sales assistant instead. We employed them for a reason, they are not invisible.
7. understands that not all items are discountable. Also understand that although pasar and pharmacy share the same first letter p, it's two different places.
8. knows the difference between farmers,chemists, pharmists, palmists, pharmacists, pharmacysts and doctors. No explanation needed.
9. explains to their children that the door chime/doorbell (ding dong) is not a toy. If your child wants one, please install one at your home please. We will be glad to let you know where you can get one.

My favourite retail pharmacist.. (Part One)

My Favourite Retail Pharmacist is someone who......

1. work everyday from Monday to Sunday from morning to night. She does not need any rest or public holiday and is always available in the pharmacy at all times.
2. can patiently explain anything tens, hundreds, thousands of times without feeling frustrated or silly. Basically, like a tape recorder being rewinded many times. I can also repeat my question in many different ways and she should give me the same reply each time.
3. will not feel irritated if I suddenly cut queue to ask questions or asked to be served first. Afterall, I am a VVVVVIP.
4. can give me super good discounts (> 50%) even when I did not request for it.
5. will not be angry even if I barge in and complain loudly and be sarcastic that their price is so much more expensive than other pharmacies.
6. can have her meals later. Doesn't matter to me if she has her meals disrupted or at irregular times.
7. will always give me free gifts everytime I purchase anything.
8. can still give me back the same price when I first purchased my medicine ten years ago. There is NO such thing as price increase!!

New Vocab

Let me introduce a new vocabulary which I’ve learned over the past 3 years in my current workplace.

*drum rolls*

PHARMIST!!!!

Somehow there are just a group of people who thinks that the person dispensing medication in a pharmacy is called a PHARMIST.

Been called ‘PHARMIST’ a lot lately.

Somehow it’s really getting on my nerves when someone calls me that although it was a good laugh when I 1st heard it.

So I’ve made up my mind to correct the next person who calls me a pharmist…

Oh for goodness sake!! I don’t want to be known as a pharmist.

This is just a presumption how this word came about:

Person dealing with chemical stuff : chemist
Person dispensing in a pharmacy : pharmist

What do you reckon? Guess there are many smart-alecs in the world huh….

*winks*

So as a warning… no one calls me PHARMIST k??

Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness.
It’s not about giving in or giving up.
Letting go isn’t about loss and it’s not about defeat.

To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on.
It is having an open mind confidence in the future.
Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing.
To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow.
It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain.
Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving.
Letting go is growing up."

He bought me a new one...=)

yeah, kw bought me a new ring, to replace the lost one. it's the same with the previous one.. i had promised him that i will take good care of the rings..hope that i won't upset him again..

kw is leaving to china tonight. this time, his family is going to harbin. the weather is very cold and the temperature is -22 degree celcius. i wish he is not going but it's only my wish..
i am worried that he will encounter asthma attacks, worried that the journey is not safe and etc..

let's pray that he will have a safe journey and be back as soon as possible...

dear, i am waiting for u here....

LOST of MY dear RINGS....

i am very sad today..
it started like this: i went to work as usual. when i reach the office, i realised that my forth finger was emptied. not as usual with my ring on..
i was panic, i called my sis to look for me in the house. she couldn't find it. i am very sure that i put it on b4 i went out to work. then i remember that i was applying lotion when i was driving, i might drop the rings in the car.. i couldn't find it in the car as well. my heart dropped.
i started to recall what i've done or where i've been..then i remember that i went to a bank in lot10 b4 i go to work. i immediately drove my car back to the bank.
once i got down from my car, i found the proposal ring-'the one with the only diamond'. i tried very hard to look for the other one-the married ring with 4 little diamonds, i just couldn't find it. the passer-bys are trying to look at me one kind, because i even squad down in every car just to look for the ring. some are kind enough to help me.. but i just couldn't find it. i search for more than half an hour and i realised that i've lost it forever. it's very sad.. it's my mistake to remove them while applying lotion and put it on my lap. when i got down from the car, they just dropped. i think i am lucky enough to got back one..

i know that he will get angry and scold me.. he did. he didn't even say a word to console me. i am more sad...

Another day at work..

hahaha...dunno what topic to write on anymore and since I m at work, write abt work lo..

this morning i got to drag myself out of bed half an hour after i turn off my alarm, thanks to snoozing function. half an hour later, we are on our way. me as usual, just wrap myself in my seat and in no time, in a half-asleep state all the way to klang. when we reached, I FLZ (fa lan zha, I learnt this new word from radio few days ago!!) coz I wanted to continue to sleep in the car but my driver of coz was adamant that I get up from my cozy "bed" and marched into the shop. so technically, I am physically here but my mind haven't wake up yet..

time really flies ya...it's been almost 7 years since we come back from glasgow. For some of us, we have changed alot, lil by lil..for some of us, we are more or less the same. For me, I would say I am less "erratic" or spontaneous as before. Like beautychock said, mayb coz getting older. 7 years ago, I cannot imagine myself, ever wanting to be a mother to someone. Now, I feel that my biological clock is going faster and faster and the maternal instinct is getting stronger and stronger. However, like lai lai said, need to be patient laa...right now, still pretty stress with work, management of accounts etc. Really wondering how I am going to manage pregnancy and work at the same time with the amount of time I spend at work.

Better go back to work and do whatever I can before I am off tomorrow for half day. Hopefully , it will be a fruitful half day tomorrow..Happy working everyone!!

One of the many 'firsts'...

Greetings everyone! lai2 here! Yay, I'm not the last! Indeed it took me considerable effort to blog, from logging in, posting comments to the actual writing. I agree with momoChin that we are like writing in emails than blogging. I too agree with beautychock that email is preferable to blog for the same reason. And I couldnt agree more with BBBB about our dears sushi and fussyleong being more efficient in blogging than replying emails!

I thought since it's my first entry, it's best to acknowledge everyone first and to survey survey first before I make an entry...Also, I dont really know what to write yet! It's really more difficult to blog than to write email leh!! well well, I just have to remind myself stop being a 'Cannot-nite'..learnt this term yesterday at a course..you know the Canaanites clan found in Bible??!? :)) so, hopefully blogging will get easier as we practice more k ..

No Rest Day for me........

Sunday morning and once again i dragged myself out of the bed. Yesterday after lab Angelov and I went to town trying to catch a movie. After some food I realised that I could not bear the mild cold in the open space then i realised I was having fever thus was shivering all over too. We decided to buy some DVDs and went home instead. Now it is me trying to work on my manuscript again and i am still waiting for the inspiration. My rest day today, unlike MoMoChin who could go eat dim sum and went shopping, I WILL have to TRY TO accomplish the taskS. Looking around me this flat does require some cleaning work. For that I will have to count on Angelov to help me (the one who earns lots more than me yet still sleeping right now).

When i think of the things that i need to do when i am back for CNY, i feel tired (again!). I am back for two weeks I will have to decide for the date for wedding dinner, the venue, find a wedding planner, bridal house (will choose base on how they can accomodate us since we are away) etc etc............. And who has any ideas for these issues? Especially those married ones??? :-) Which bridal house? Anyone can suggest any wedding planner?

Oh no, i am stressed again! I have been stressed and paranoid these days, waking up 3am in the morning, couldn't sleep, and started working on the computer. And that was a saturday morning. A big pathetic i thought...................

A Rest Day... or Not

CONGRATS !!!!

I'm kinda amazed how this blog really turned out. It seems more successful than i had hoped for, safe to say that this excitement will continue???

* winks *

After 10 days of working, i finally got my REST day. What does one do on their rest days?

For me, a rest day would include, being able to wake up anytime you like, watch TV, go online, read a book while drinking a cuppa bla bla bla..... basically just relaxing at home. I love being at home.

However, having my rest days during the weekends are rather busy. (Don't get me wrong, i love weekends off, it's just that... for this particular weekend, it's not as free n easy as i wish for)

1st, the Mr loves going out..(shopping, eating... whatsoever) and since CNY is just around the corner... shopping would be TOP priority.

So after a little dim sum in the morning, washing 2 cars, we are off to KLCC.

I could say that we each got something we liked, had a scrumptious dinner,and a pretty nice supper @ PUDU...and guess what time all these ended??? 12 midnight.

There goes my 'rest n relax' off day...

Tomorrow... off to the market at 7am for groceries!! Would b another busy day afterall.

Another wedding dinner...

just attended a wedding dinner of my secondary schoolmate: waikeng's. it's an ordinary one. i do enjoy the reunion with my secondary school friends alot.
i never think that i will sing the karaoke session in a wedding dinner but i did it tonight. i had duet with chui nam for 2 songs.. and i think i can sing well..haha
it's very different spending time with them. it brings me back to the good old days when i was young, naive and will do whatever b4 i think properly...
looking back at all these years, i have changed. i've change to someone who thinks carefully before i do something. i will think of lots of consequences and i dare not take a step further. i have change to someone who prefer low profile.. not as high tune as b4. i don't know this is for good or for bad...
i am thinking why i've changed..bcoz i am getting older or bcoz i am well trained by kw till i become docile?
which is my real personality? i am confused....

Saturday morning in the lab.....

It is impressive and amazing that most of us have already posted some messages here. Same as beauty chock it took me a while to figure out how to log in and post a comment! What I didn't understand was why fussyleong and sushi didn't like to reply emails but yet could be so productive at writing blogs?

It is a saturday morning in the lab. I dragged myself out of the bed to come to work. It is almost like a desert here, not too many ppl around. I am a little ill, coughing, sorethroat and runny nose. It was such a pleasant way to start my day when i read through all the posted comments, because it has been a while since i last heard from some of you :-)

I have a lot of tasks to be completed this weekend: experiments, writing the paper (i haven't started yet), pack luggage, clean the flat (it is now approaching the level of disgusting), read lots of journals etc..... Yeah writing the list alone has exhausted me already!

I will be back soon. Lets try to make sure we have time for a reunion dinner/lunch like last year! May be we should think of the possible time/date now as we are all busy ppl!

Have to deal with my cells now.........

new haircut for cny; me n princess ;)

it's me again.....i realised that i forgot my main purpose of writing the blog earlier. it's act to tell everyone abt my new hair cut. yup.....cut my hair again. surprise surprise?? goon, in case u didn;t know.......i cut long hair back in oct. up till chin level. i also dun know y i sudd go n cut my hair; jt on the spur of the moment decision; told the hairdresser, "whichever hairstyle u think is nice n suits me, then u cut for me." shocked??? seeing as how i took such a long time to grow till tat length.
n now cut a bit shorter somemore coz my hair looks a bit 'flat'. going to do colouring also.....prob aft cny as now too bz to go. wat do u guys think abt 'blueblack' colour? or mayb 'ash' colour?? fitting??

my princess also went for haircut on the same day....hehe. her's even more expensive than mine....somemore did hair treatment for her (but tat was v cheap only....additional rm5). now, pet's business really booming; their groomer fully booked up till cny leh. ooopss.....cust again. tata!! till nxt time!!

signing off with lotsa hugs&kisses.......fussyleong

let's guess part 2

ji ja lee busy today la...her sis coming back today (or tomolo, i forgot)..i m sure if she's working today she would have written something already...so either she or lai lai will b second last..hahhaha..we make it this way la, if she or lai lai is the second last, then both of them belanja both u and me to makan, ok beautychock?

btw, ji ja lee already predicted that you will use beautychock as your nickname..kkkeke


sushi

Let's guess...

let's guess, who will be the last one to write in??
i guess la la lam is the last one. she might not notice about this blog even until now, i guess..hehe...
the second last might be jijalee.. although she is very talkative, but she is very lazy in writing..
if my guess is correct..everyone needs to treat me a good meal after my wedding...=)

My first CNY as a married woman

Since CNY is around the corner, I thought it will be interesting to talk about my first CNY experience (2008) after I am married.. (*hint hint to those who are going to join me soon...hehehe) I am really thankful that my parents-in-law are really nice people, easy to layan and not fussy. Most importantly, they really treat me very good like I am their own daughter. We need to reach BP by noon on CNY eve, so we rushed down from klang to Nilai the night before CNY eve to spend the night there. We were already late after closing shop, then need to move some stocks back home first before heading down to nilai so was close to midnite by the time we reached nilai. His mum was waiting for us, but DT kena marah badly coz he forced the auto gate open :(

Anyway, all things went smoothly the next day. I was excited coz it's the first time I am spending CNY with my new family. Contrary to my own family back in kl, we have reunion dinner on cny eve. His family's tradition is to have cny lunch. Lunch was quite a sumptious meal with duck, chicken, pork belly soup, and some more meat. ( yes, vege is not allowed according to tradition). Lucky me (or unlucky me), me and DT have to sit with the elders ( I prefer the kids table though but no more space for me, :P) After lunch, we sit around to chat and look at our wedding photos la. By late pm, I was quite bored coz DT went out with his good friend leaving me behind to get acquainted with the rest. I think my mother in law wanted to go out badly for some fresh air too coz she was very happy when I suggest that we go to Summit nearby. Nothing much to see there, though I bought some vcds to watch at night and I ordered a plate of vege as tea-time. The waitress thought that i was quite cuckoo to just order vege without rice or anything else but nevertheless, since I do not want to b constipated for the rest of cny, I must have some fibre somehow. This year, I am going down to BP prepared (bringing my easiyo yogurt and alladdin enzyme to makan!!)

Dinner is the same dishes as lunch (again!), cooked DIFFERENT style.. >_< ..me not a meaty person, so I stick to those without bones. Yet, some duck meat and other chicken parts ( you gals know what I don't eat) will find its way into my bowl. Cannot complain, just got to be a good daughter/grand-daughter-in-law and tried my best to swallow it. And when no one is looking, I will chuck a few pieces to my hubby...hehhehe...Night was spent in a hotel few doors away from ji ja lee (hey, by the time I found out I am so near to her it was already very late at night!) No time to visit her the next day also coz both of us overslept and was not quite prepared yet when my father-in-law came to fetch us..oops After breakfast and giving out angpows ( I enjoyed this least), we prepared to go back to seremban to his mother's side family. Lots of people, lots of cousin, lots of noise but very fun. Suddenly, I really miss my own family and my own cousins, uncles, aunties. It just feel so different and I felt so homesick. Even more so after I called my parents to wish Happy CNY on the phone. Beautychock found me on the porch of the house hiding and pretending not to cry but it's really kinda hard.Beautychock, thank you for consoling me and made me calm enough to go back into the house.

This year's CNY will be as last year. Tiring for us coz we have to travel to 4 different places yet it's the only time of the year that we get to meet all our extended family members..Hopefully, by next CNY next year, we will have one more addition to our own family and we can start collecting ang pows...kekkeke...ok ok, don't shoot me. I know collecting ang pows is not the main purpose of having a baby la...just joking :) Will be starting work on 30th. When's everyone starting?

1st blog

hihi everyone.....i long time nvr write to all of u dee. hv been bz n stressed out for the last couple of mths; esp aft i came back fr my australia holiday. life at home hv been hectic n stressed ever since there hv been 2 new addition to the family; namely my sis-in-law n newly born nephew (named by my mom). don't b fooled by his cutesy bubbly nature at first sight; he is a screaming devil in disguise.....now, every morning, i am being awaken by him n every night, i am being kept awake by him also (when he stays overnight sometimes; thank god he's not licing under the same roof as me). the whole family is been wrapped tightly ard his pudgy fingers. 1st cry, granny carry...2nd cry, parents carry.....3rd cry, tis auntie will also come running to carry him. not easy caring for a child....but my bro r v lucky coz my mom v willingly bear most of the responsibility. wat to do? 1st grandchild mar.....sure v 'kan cheong'.

enough abt the family dee.....switch to work. not much changes except for the fact that we now hv 5 outlets. can say we r all still adapting to the changes......hopefully, with tis new yr, everything will run more smoothly for everyone. (**esp for the ordering n accounts dept**) ooops....gotta go. got cust. will continue another day.

p/s: hehe...not bad for a procrastinator....me not the last to write a blog here. ji ja.....u still hvn't post yet wor...wld hv expected u to be the 1st to post seeing as u came up with the idea.

signing off with lotsa hugs & kisses...........fussyleong

my first blog...=)

i like to write. but usually i will write it in my mind...when i am driving, listening to songs, taking bath or anticipating on the toilet bowl =)
most of the time i don't write it down bcoz i am too lazy or busy to do so..
now, there is a space for me to write..maybe i will write more..
it took me sometimes to figure out how to log in and to post a blog...

tomorrow my 2 bosses will come over to give us the bonus. through out the years in this company, i have entitled 2 months bonus. i wonder will it be the same for this time. my contracts end in march, they didn't propose any offer to make me stay. chris plans to sell off holistic in klang and concentrate the business in pudu. business was very slow in the past 3 months. it might due to the new Caring pharmacy operating in the market. i have tried my best to maintain the business and i can only hope for the best.. let's see what will happen tomorrow..

i prefer sending an email than writing a blog.. now only i realised.. it's bcoz the email will only be able to read by the destined receivers.. but for blogs, anyone on earth can access and read. then there will be no privacy anymore..
for eg: if i quarrel with kw, i feel sad and i write down all my feelings here.. i think he will get mad if he read what i've written...haha..

that's it for my first blog...=)

with love,

My mood today on a Friday.....

Dear girls,

Finally, finally, finally!!! We have our own blog now....
This is the last friday before i due to fly next week back to malaysia. I am a little tired, as it is a Friday. Also feeling a little feverish, as i am surrounded by lots of sick ppl, my boss, my colleagues, even angelo......!!!!! Not too motivated to work today.....:-( But i have so much to do!!

My brother is due to fly to Auckland on 24th Jan, that means i could see him for ONE day only after i arrived. That makes me feel sad too. Now that our distance is even further apart..........
