rainbow friday

Image
it was raining when i reached kl sentral this morning. sigh. rain means have to walk on the wet kaki lima to monorail station at brickfields. once in the monorail, i stood near the door. a sticker on top of the door was blocking my view. so, i bent my knees slightly just to look at the sky. and i saw this a huge huge huge rainbow! #1 : rainbow #2 : hello kl! and when i reached office, i quickly went inside a room which has the best view of kl tower. and the rainbow was still there! #3 : loving it i find myself always writing on friday. i guess because today is my favourite day. and there will be new label just for fridays!

a book a month?

Image
how many books do you read in a month? or in a year? i didn't count. so far, for first quarter of 2010, i have read 6 books! (the list in the right panel under "i'm reading..") i don't have any favourite authors. when i'm in a bookshop, the books that have nice covers will attract me. yes, i know, don't judge a book by its cover. wei, can't help it leh. last monday, when i was walking down from monorail station, i ter-saw MPH sign at crowne plaza hotel . i thought i was dreaming. still early morning mah. i was asking myself, since when this bookstore is there? hahahaha. and i started asking around. no one knew. those who take the monorail just said,"yeah, i saw that..but not sure when it was opened". i saw an MPH ad in newspaper this morning. and there was a note saying special discount for the new outlet at crowne plaza hotel. confirmed! so, i went to check out the place with my colleague during lunch hour. it's located at the hotel lob...

kau-cim

Image
i never kau-cim before. so, when i went to Thean Hou temple earlier this month with sisters & friends, i kau-ed my first cim. the traditional kau-cim tools look like the below. #1 : the traditional type when we were at the temple, we were looking for something like that. could not find any bamboo tube with lots of sticks in it. my sister was observant that day. she saw people holding sticks and dropped them into a big metal container like the below. so we went near to one big metal container and circled around it to have a closer look. memang sakai! didnt know there is another version to kau-cim. no need shake shake shake until a stick drop out from the tube. #2 : the modern one grab all the sticks, and drop them back inside the hole. look out for ONE protruding stick. that will be the ONE. if many stick out, repeat the process again. grab all, and drop. #3 : the protruding ONE #4 : take it out read the number on the stick and pull the right drawer to get your reading. REMINDER :...

kiwanis 27th treasure hunt

Image
i started treasure hunting in 2000. i was introduced to this game by my cousin brother. and i'm loving it ever since. there are many different hunts, organised by different people. timeoutsolutions, huntmaster, to name a few. Kiwanis's hunt is different from the rest. it's a 3D2N hunt. i first joined their hunt in year 2001. i was still a freshie. their questions were so tough! really really tough! but i enjoyed their hunt the most because i could rest on day 2. year 2001, we stayed at swiss garden damai laut . i woke up, had breakfast, then went back to sleep. then up for lunch, then back to sleep and then up for dinner. it was so relaxing! the second time i joined kiwanis hunt was in year 2003. it was memorable because of the jam. it was a long weekend. if not mistaken, it was wesak day. the drive up north was very stressful. we didn't have enough time to answer the questions, and the jam along the highway made things even worse! we were hungry. no food. energy bar ...

mumbling

Image
came in early this morning. it has been awhile since i took the 642am train. taking the earlier train means have to wake up earlier! usually i take the 657am train. but for the past 1 week, the 657am train has been cancelled. for no reason! we have to wait for the next train which was scheduled at 712am. due to the cancellation, it means JAM PACK in the next train because the 657am crowd will be merging with the 712am crowd. imagine, i could not moved my hands to scratch my face. it was that packed! so, i have no option but to take the earlier train. my working hours starts at 830am. but it's good also lah. early means less crowd in ktm and also monorail. and it's cooler when i'm walking from kl sentral to monorail station. and i can enjoy my breakfast in the office :) friends asked me before, "no plan to buy a car? you can stand (endure) taking train everyday?"... my answer, "everyday i ' stand ' in the train to go to work (no seat ma). i could not s...
