Pigging around
So besides sleeping the only interesting thing I did over the weekend was attending Fatt's performance with Every Fallen Thursday in S.I.T. Kinda cool..feels like being back in uni. Truthfully, I think his band is kinda cool. I like the music that they play too. I'm surprised. :P Anyway, that show cost us RM10 each. It was entertaining enough. Dances and singing. It's really like those uni activities last time la. Sooo missing it.
Another thing to blog about is Fatt lost his car in SS15!! Poor thing. Lost his guitar too. I think this year is the most dramatic for him lar. He met with accident, had to claim insurance for the damage, then now his car got lost. So ppl...really, dun leave anything valuable in ur cars mann...especially laptops. Thank god he took out his new laptop and brought it with him. Last Friday left my laptop in my car, so worried from the moment I step down from the car till I got home. So the next time also I'll be bringing my laptop down la. Doesn't matter how heavy, I'll drag it along if I have to.
New week, was told to go for outstation tomorrow. So need to prepare for that. And besides that, will just sit and wait for the next thing to happen...*yawn....

Crappy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lazy to re-type all lar...just highlight the main things...which was the wedding last weekend. Everyone had a great time. It wasn't a grand thing. Just simple and nice. That's how I want my wedding to be also. It was suppose to be a very sweet event, with the bride and groom exchanging their vows, but the groom...need to make corrections to the previous post la...let's just say he's a better engineer than a romantic guy. :P The bride was beautiful, the car was really nice too. The photographers were good too. I prefer this wedding dinner than the previous wan lar. My colleagues were good. Eating with them was funny from the time the night started. It was fun~! Had a little too much of alcohol on that night too. Din get drunk, but a lot to give me a headache. But after that also joined the Kura-Kura-ians for a game of pool and yumcha session before I really got back about 2 plus. Slept straight after that.
Friday nite got a visit from an old friend all the way from Ampang. CY came to visit and yumcha session in Starbucks till bout 12 plus. He started la...with his stories bout his work and all. It's like you heard it all before...but he's considered lucky to be able to travel around...he's probably off to Laos already now. But he's complaning bout his work already...and I cannot take the bragging part. Maybe he din meant it with the bragging, but it sounded like it when he said it. I wonder if he knows... and I don't really know how to say it to him also. So I just let him talk la.
Ok lar..another working week already. Need to pay my loans too. Think I just got an SMS to remind me of the due date. :p Will get it done during lunch. So that's all...don't want the server to kick me out again.

Almost almost...
Latest news...i got my laptop RAM upgraded. it's running on 1GB of RAM..which is a big improvement to it, but starting up still takes up some time compared to the upgrade from 256MB to 512MB last time. Too much stuff at my start-up, need another round of "housekeeping".
Was at KLCC yesterday for the Telecommunications exhibition. Met up with some old friends..mostly juniors. Even saw my cousin there, but he said he almost could not recognise me. Nothing much that really attracts me there. You get awed with the speed of the latest wireless broadband...1Mbps. Besides that, it's basically exhibition of products/tools. Not much freebies for us too. Only a couple of pens, calendar. Oh ya...took picture with Dayang Nurfaizah, one of the finalist for One in A Million.
Recently got back in touch with Khai Tzer. He will be appearing on TV soon enough. will watch out for that. Not sure he's ok bout me giving him some publicity, but watch out for it. Debuting on the 21st of this month. Will probably meet up with him to yumcha one of these weeks and get more info on that.
So boring today...but I hope no more accidents or near-accidents encounter already lar. *touchwood* Looking forward for the weekends........ :)

Wedding dinner receptions
There's something new this coming wedding that I'll be attending this weekend. It's my colleague. Romantic guy I assume...coz it's all about first impression. The wedding invitation is something new. Lovely poem written by his future bride-to-be. Custom made. Impressive( well..it also means he already dumped in a whole lum sum for this once in a lifetime thing...which I think is REALLY sweet ). Din take a snap shot of it...but it's just sweet. And the wedding will be the first ever buffet-style wedding that I'll be attending. ( Not that I'd attend a lot before, heyyy...come to think of it, this islike my 2nd wedding invite...I mean...not including those relatives-invite-parents-and-parents-drag-us-along type. ) And I heard a lot bout his plans for his wedding. It's gonna be under a canopy, they are gonna exchange vows in the garden before the dinner reception. Wow..sounds like what you see on tv eh? Looking forward to that. Will be bringing my camera then.
Last week was also Fatt's first gig. I missed that coz mood down. I dun really know what mood I was in. Just in the mood to stay home alone. I heard it was okay, wasn't that bad. I slept at 12. Heard fireworks outside, just wasn't in the mood and also tired and restless at the same time. Weekend also just passed by. After the wedding dinner, went for drinking session at CW's house. Drank quite a lot..din reach drunk stage. I was still very much sane. Fatt was totally drunk and started crapping and screaming. LD, WS and CW also KO. It wasn't that bad session, laughed at Fatt was the best entertainment la. So after that, all went back. The next day went yumcha at Oldtown. Yea, the Omega half boiled eggs was really GOOD~! :P
So after that LONG weekend...(friday din felt like a working day.... ) it's back to work~!

New phone, old line
Okay, been busy with work. Slowed down the past few days. Money also still that low...credit card bills unsettled. Ok...been complaining bout lack of money since Day 1, but it's the truth. Eating out with my colleagues during lunch is still that hurting to my pocket. Yesterday was Dragon-i...cost RM25 for each. But it was goooood food...so no complaints. REALLY good xiao long bao~! and also the Shanghai noodles. GOOD GOOD.
Makan session with the Kura-Kura-ians last weekend. Sat was at Gold Leaf, eat dishes with rice. Sun was in Port Klang, eating noodles...mostly spicy stuff, Kok Wai was trying very hard to eat. Hahah...poor thing. Think when the guys ordered they totally forgot bout KW. He ended up with 3 glasses of cincau~! :P The food? Not bad at all. Never explored Klang for food that much...till I met the Kura-Kura-ians. Last weekend, we had this small ceremony in Chiang Wei's place to mark the end of the badminton match that lasted for 2 months. Haha...yea...longer than World Cup... :p Certs were passed out and we had COLD Dominos pizza coz our dear Fatt was late. After that was squash session where Chiang Wei accidentally hit the squash ball to my eye~!!! I'm ok lar...just blueblack. Still got a mark.... hopefully it gets well before my parents return for this weekend.
So that's all for this time...can't believe my friend said blogging is a waste of time...wow...his words, sank in there and then. If you're reading this, I'm ok, I respect other ppl's decisions... :) Lunch ...~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pure rotten luck
Lifetime: 8 months
Case: STOLEN~! @ Gurney Plaza, Penang
What the heck is wrong with the society these days mann....My precious was stolen from me on that particular Saturday where I thought I was lucky enough to catch Click and also buy some stuff for half price~!!~ The world of unfairness..Of course, I am to be blamed for it also coz I wasn't careful enough. This is soooooo sad...................... Penang...some memories MAN....
I'm currently sending over files back to KV, been tired and sleepless the past nite..rushing to finish all. This is like torture....although the up part bout the whole trip to Penang is meeting up with my friends...and GOOD FOOD. I've gained back all the weight I lost the past week. But there's also the down part on the phone thingy...SIGHH...alrite...practically brain dead and not processing alot of things well..better write in another time...

PENANG
Yesterday was bad, I kinda reached breaking point. After that, I realised that I'm working with a very united and supportive team. Which is another push for myself to work harder. All I have to learn now is to not stress myself out that easy. Think it's the no-communication with my partner is the one causing the anxiety and insecurity. So crazy man... but one msg from KY(my supervisor)...he said this: "YL, don't think so much, there's not big problems that we cannot solve,take care".
With that said, I cried. I cried for thinking so much, I cried coz I lost confidence, I cried coz i was just plain stupid. But I know how much my teammates support me, so I'm all well and will do better. I just need to stop making mistakes...I SERIOUSLY need to learn that. Actually before the Penang trip, Chow(my previous supervisor) was very helpful in finding a place for me to stay. Gosh, I love my colleagues a lot.
SO, it's getting late. I'm on the 29th floor of Northam Hotel, overlooking the sea. Simply magnificent. I'm gonna spend my weekend here. Kinda last minute decision, but will make an effort to meet up with all my friends. So far met up with ST, CK, Kok Hui, Shaun, Foong Tek, Cheng Mun and Kenneth. Will be meeting up Poh Imm and William. The rest...I'll see how. :) So will sign off frm Penang. It had been a tiring, crazy but most of all, a week of discovery. :D

Stress at work
Anyway...it's getting close to ONE year. Yea...in a couple of days actually. Going to treat myself with something good. Still not sure what is that yet. Kinda broke this month having to pay for my car insurance and Penang and family day thingy this coming Saturday.
Last weekend...Beggar chicken. Well...one thing for sure is I wont be making a second trip back there to eat. All the stuff kinda taste the same...something like stewed herbal chicken/duck/pork leg.The boneless fish was interesting, but in the end, just tasted like some fish cake. Soup also tasted like some normal pig intestine soup that you can find it at any normal hawker stall. Rating: 2 out of 5.
Oh ya..the Tmn Wahyu Fish Head Curry. Again, expectations were a bit too high, so kinda disappointed in the end. Same thing as Beggars Chicken. Expensive, not worth the money and travel time.
Food talk eh...hmm...since we're there. There's this nice place in Bdr Puteri. Bumbu Bali. Had Mell's bday there. I think the food is quite okay. Balinese food. Most of the marination had a touch of lemongrass taste in it. With other spices I assume. Portion quite big when you're talking bout those Nasi type of orders. For the ladies menu, well...it's a small small portion. Kinda felt like being ripped off.... :P but then, it's low fat and all that crap lar. As friend stated, food with that spice taste can only last one or 2 trips, and you'll get bored of it.
Another one that I like now is O~Viet. in Sunway. Nice food, nice restaurant...nice drink~!! There's only one cold drink that I like from there....DST5: 3 bean mix. ..or something like that. The hot drink? Drip-Coffee....STRONG AND SIMPLY GOOD. food wise...so far, most of the stuff that I tasted is kinda nice. Again with the taste of the lemongrass, but it's really good food.
Jap food....ZEN. My TOP list of food to eat when I have the money. Can be quite expensive, but food is good, so no other bad comments.Place is nice, quite, ambience is there. Sunway also. Must be a place to try out...Sashimi is fresh...havent tried their sushi. Unagi is not that bad there either.
Fast food wise...I kinda like the KFC BBQ Cheesy meltz...not that bad. McD's beef foldover is also good. Pizzza hut...i like their pasta range...currently looking at the Prawn Olio. only tasted once...need to try it again to really confirm it's nice. :P
Well well...enough of food talk already. Going off....it's another tiring day. It's been a moody day for me...I just want it all to go away, but I guess only that someone can help me with it...sighh...

My 25 mins in the lift
And after that incident, it was work and work and work. I had too much of Excel for this week. All confused by having like 15-20 sheets of Excel running on my laptop at one time. Indeed very new to me. Let's not forget the errors that I made. Sigh...seems like it's always me with the mistakes...or is it me who are the one admitting to all my mistakes first? Not sure what it'll reflect on my boss...but I hope it does not affect the part where he'll fight for my increment. :D
So that's it bout this week. Going off for Mell's bday thingy in Puchong. Getting veryyyyyy boring sitting in the office by myself. Time for another weekend. This weekend should be just Beggar chicken and quiet time at home..with my leftover Excel work~!! Last week shopped too much already. Alritey..will make a move...

Work work work
Last weekend also was the first time that I went on shopping with the Kura-Kura ppl. Quite interesting also...Laughed like mad. True wat KF said lar, been out too much.. can't tone it down. It's like weekends are something to look forward to already. What's life without this sampat group of ppl lar??!
Changed my hair style last weekend also...nothing much, just shifted my hair parting. My friends thinks it's good..so I'll stick with it.
p/s: voltboy, thanks for reading, I guess my answer to u is I expect my credit card bills to maintain a certain amount...not going so high up. :D

7 years....
Last week went to IOI for lunch with the animal gang. Lunch to send off Nee Peng to Penang and Heng Leong to Philippines. Yea, everyone's going around. But it was fun. Seng was as himself, well, everyone were themselves for that whole lunch session. Din change one bit since graduation. Still that "peh"...If ppl ask what we do and we tell them we're engineers, dun think they'll buy it.
After that, went for quick shopping spree with Mel. Shopped yet again~! Sigh, got my credit card bill yesterday....i realised the bill is only going one way...which is UP~!!!!!!!!!!!!! Living on credit....sighhhhhhhhh....alrite, not a good way to start my morning lar. Better do some work now...

Last week was Bak Kut Teh in Klang for lunch, later on will be CurryFish Head in Tmn Wahyu. Will know how it'll taste during lunch. yumm....

Life's Great..
This is the group of people that was there with me ... the Kura-Kura-ians~~ (except for Thean)
Nothing but a nice cool ice-cream session up in Genting....Cun-ness~!!
3am Coffee Bean session @17 degrees
The purpose was just to chill while some of them went for JJ Lin concert. Think it was a good concert while the rest of us just lepak and watch the England vs Portugal match. Surprise of the day would be meeting up with Chye Hsia and Kum Nyin+Yin Kwan. I met with Chye Hsia in the new casino while met up with KKN when the football match started. The crowd was awesome~~~
It was a fun trip...Fatt and Drew were the main jokers. Laughed till my stomachached...yea, laughed till can't stop. This is the funniest bunch that I've ever been with. Too bad Drew will be going off to Melbourne on Friday. Oh gosh...I miss Genting SOOO MUCH~~The mist, the weather, the cold wind, the laugh. It was the best trip ever~~~

Weekend Away~~
It was weekend in Singapore. Friday was spent at home. Mom cooked nasi lemak....missed her cooking soooooooooo much. Din do much the weekend also, although said that I was gonna go for shopping, but it's a weird feeling:- the STINGY feeling. Yea, was doing all this conversion in my head, and thinking I could get the same things in Malaysia probably with a more affordable price. So I decided not to shop. Window shop instead. :P Then dinner was excellent~! Buffet at Sakura. Ate till bloated...I can still remember the durian puffs...simply EXCELLENT~~!! Dinner was on me. SGD252. I'm broke for the month, but it's once in a blue moon that we have a complete family dinner gathering..I'm happy ( and SGD200 was actually from my mom...she gave me the money...and lots of stories that came after )
Ring Ring...Wedding Bells....Yea, 3rd bro is gonna get married next year? or the year after. RoM is scheduled for the end of this year. Hmm...that would mean I have 1 year to DIET and exercise. My 3rd brother is soooo thin dy. He lost 10kg~~~~~~ My brother will be my motivation!
It was also World Cup weekend...quite a disappointing one to a lot of ppl I guess. Din watch it. Coz was too tired by the time the game was on. Will be catching up with the rest of the game. Gonna meet up wth Ching Yen for this weekend's game lar. I need to watch a match with my friends la...so boring watching alone now that I'm home alone again.

How long can a friendship last?
Probably it's always true what my parents always say. Friends are just temporary, once you leave that stage, they will leave too. Back in university days, we used to have birthdays for all that's in the group. You know what? This year, I already forgot 2 birthdays. And keeping in touch with the old gang...I think I've only kept in touch with 1/3 of them in each gang.
And the current gang I'm with is slowly divided into their own smaller cliques with different interest and hopes. I'd say this group will probably go their own ways...I'll give them to the end of the year. After some weird things happening recently, plus when CJ starts to feel something changed, and others starting to agree..THAT is the sign. So will just wait and see...

Minding your own business..
So coincidentally he picked me up for yumcha the day before, it was 11pm, to my parents, that's bed time and yumcha session for a girl is not decent. Yea, I grow up with conservative parents. I knew that long time ago. Bet they will have endless lecture if they knew I went clubbing.. Anyway, back to the topic, my dad came and ask me a bunch of questions bout Fatt...I knew something was wrong, I think he suspects Fatt to be my bf or something... and I think it all started from what my neighbour told him...that's the conclusion I get lar... He wanted to ask the main question, I just said he's part of the group of ppl I hang out with for badminton and other stuff.
The thing bout me and my parents, I could sense when they want to ask whether I'm going out with anyone. I mean, it's not wrong lar, since I'm grown up already, just that the approach they have with me. My dad is protective I guess, but he's not happy with whoever I hang out with, especially when activities that goes on at nite. He thinks badminton can be played on weekends afternoons, friends meet up sessions can be done in daylight, everything that is accomplished during daylight is good. Any other things that's on at night is bad. I know this...even when I hang out longer with friends these days also he has something to say about it. Like last weekend, I was out for lunch with my friends from 12PM, I got back at 5PM, he had something to say about it.
Anyway..my blog title is not meant for my dad, coz he just cares bout his only daughter. I know that, and I love him so dearly...It's meant for my nosy neighbour to keep her nose where it belongs...~~~ and i wish she could read this too : STOP GIVING IDEAS TO MY DAD!!!

Clear skies...
And it's all quiet already....work just came n gone, it's all quiet now. I should start picking up some new skill/knowledge already. If not, it'll just be wasted. Life's still filled with boring stuff... weekends are still spent with the gang. And the recent update was of course me going on a date with the guy I met in the club last last weekend. I would say I had the most fun among all the dates I had, but still he's a year or 2 younger..So we'll just have to see how it will go...
It's close to a year since graduation already. My juniors are busy saying their farewells to their friends, kinda reminded me of my time. Since saw a few of my uni-mates recently, so refreshed my mind bout the times we used to spend to do crappy stuff like staying up late and early 630am bak kut teh sessions. Can't really stay up already these days. I get tired easily the next day...WHAT happened mann...??? I feel OLD..... alrite...time to leave the quiet office...

At my blurest ~~

Facelift~~
And so..the speculation continues...there's this two people in my gang. We suspect that something is going on between them...none of them said anything to the gang yet, but from the stares and looks and sms-es during group gatherings...we're all watching........ i think it's a normal thing to hook up at this age, no one objects or anything, we find it extra interesting coz this meet-then-woo session only takes a week. Yea..u read it rite...ONE week. They met on a Sunday morning, call and meet up everyday after that. It's one week already, and 80% sounded like they are gonna announce something. and we're all waiting.... maybe it's love at first sight. these things actually exist?? I still wonder.
Recently being teased with a guy that I met in the club last weekend. Din want to comment a lot on it. That wasn't love at first sight, that was more of getting into the moment and having fun. I wonder why my friends are so over-reacting to it. Pls dun misunderstand, we did not kiss or anything of that sort, we just danced together and he asked for my number after that. Nothing special there...I think it's just normal. Well, after the nite ended, I din even get his name...until my friend told me. That's bad rite? :P He said he would call...and it was 4 days after, he sent an sms asking how I was doing. I was a little surprised, I thought I wont hear from him again. And been msging each other for the past weekend too. I was too bored at home. Funny guy... will see how things actually go... so that's it for now. FY, good luck in ur job-hunt. ;)

Party-ing weekend~~
After dinner with ST, rushed back to be in time for clubbing session with the gang. 8 of us went. First time for CJ n Thean.We went to Passion in KL. It was quite a nice place. There, we met with Wee San's friends. A whole bunch of them. 10 of them actually, only get to know 3 of them only after the nite ended. But clubbing was nice after so long. Since been so sien with my studies, needed the break. Danced the nite away. At the end of the nite, 2 guys frm my gang were drunk, threw up and one of them were actually were lying down on the street~~!! I wasn't drinking coz they were taking hard liquor. Dun like hard liquor...so had orange juice and that was only a sip or 2. Din taste nice. Thank goodness I didn't drink coz after the nite ended, I had to drive one of the guy's car. Imagine, these 2 fella who was drunk was sooooo loudly saying that they'll take care of us girls before we were there, in the end needed us girls to take care of them instead. Uselesssss~~!! Imagine if we needed them to protect us sumore...one of them vanished after a while when we reached Passion. :P But it was fun. I had fun for the nite. And it's bad seeing them puke but it was nice playing on them after they woke. They were so drunk till can't remember a thing, and it's sooo nice to tell them things they did and things that they think they did...muahahaha..
It was a happening Saturday nite+Sunday morning. I got back home at 430am. Been a while since this happened. and I didn't sleep much. And it's another working week ahead. Sighhhhh.....
