Queen Of Bee

it's the season of joy! wrote an email to clients and it goes like this. ------------------------------------------ Dear Ladies, M e r r y C h r i s t m a s & H a p p y N e w Y e a r !! I wrote to S a n t a for a long weekend, but I guess I have been naughty, so my wish was not granted. Zenith is only closed on 25 th Dec 2012. Business as usual for the remaining days. Happy Holidays to all!!! ------------------------------------------ received positive reply from them. they find it funny! hahaha. inspired by pictures in pinterest, using 2 candy canes to form a heart. so pretty, the heart! hahaha. merry christmas!

in a few blinks, it's christmas! time flies.....

it's deepavali tomorrow! this week is awesome. why? because we have 2 public holidays in a week. but it would be even awesome-er if it's consecutive. hahaha... we will work on monday, (which is today lah..) then off tomorrow, then back to office on wednesday, then off again on thursday (awal muharram) and then back to office again on friday. this year, alternate days... according to next year (2013) calendar, it will be a stretch! because deepavali falls on sunday, and awal muharram on tuesday. how cool is that??? 5 days in a row. i'm sensitive, yes! sensitive towards holidays!

it was her last day yesterday. do i feel relieve? a part of me yes. but i need to do her work!!! hahaha... next week it's going be a "high-class" week. meeting with fashion clients. wishing the week will pass by in a blink of eye! *wink* happy friday!

last year during Christmas party, we were first told by boss  that in 2012, we would be going to Moscow for company trip. seriously?? so we waited for almost 9 months, before the final destination was announced. beijing! it was beijing. an unexpected destination. but never mind! i've not been there, so totally fine with me. i'm not the one paying the bill, so Thank You boss for the retreat!! we were told to keep this retreat as low profile as possible. we left KL on Thursday (some in the morning, some in the evening). and came back on Monday. it was a replacement holiday on Monday, thanks to Hari Malaysia. we went to the hot spots in beijing. but we didnt eat at the best spot in beijing. food wise, must be halal lor... so, we didnt have much option, but to go muslim restaurant, serving chinese food, but halal. we thought it would be a cold trip, as the weather forecast reading was as low as 12 degrees, and as high as 25 degrees only. we packed some jackets along, in case ...

hmm, have not been updating for a while. will fly off to beijing later today. "staff retreat", boss asked us to tell client. and make this trip as low profile as possible. hahaha. so, more update when i'm back!

i helped a friend to teach yoga class recently, 2 tues, while she was away for holiday with her family. it was arranged in june. i was stressed when the date got nearer. would i be able to handle it? my sister told me just do it! the first class was a bit nerve-wrecking. the owner said that they love my friend because she teach different thing every week, and not just sun salutation. *gulp*. i planned to start the class with sun salutation wor!! first class ended smoothly, i think! second class, we laughed more compared to the first. since my friend said this group is a fun group, so i made some silly jokes during the poses. and when the class ended, it was a relieved for me. haha. there was an additional student in the class. he didnt come on the 1st class. young man, maybe around 20+. when he walked out, he said " i like your class! thank you! "... *grin* happy! then he added " oh, btw, what's your name? " ... hahahaha! will i be teaching again ther...

i'm not the last child in the family. But i think people still adores me because they LIKE my profile picture! i adore you too! my FB profile picture.

the rain started when i was about to leave the house. and it continued to pour heavily. and caused a jam along the road heading to ktm station. when i reached the station, the rain has stopped. i saw a train just left the station. i continued to walk to the platform at the opposite side. and when i reached to the other side, there was an announcement over the PA system. "the next train to rawang has been delayed (what is new??). the next train will arrive in 45mins time". *jaw dropped* WTF? 45mins? that's almost an hour! are you KIDDING me?? and i stood there, thinking what should i do. 1) to continue waiting at the train station? or 2) to go home, eat breakfast, then drive to office? i decided to go home and eat breakfast and think about the next plan. as i was walking to the entrance of the station, another announcement was made. "due to train derailment in Nilai station, the next train will arrive at 8.10am." it was only 730am. informed my bosses ...

i always love to read horoscope, especially when it's my month!! and when i read this in Cleo, july issue, i know i must record this down. hahaha..."amazing photographer"... seriously? and this has trigger me more to buy it!

turned 33 last Friday. went out for lunch with colleagues, then dinner with friends. friend asked me, "how do you feel today?" i replied, "weird...". i guess i'm not used to be in the centre of attention. haha. and presents one by one.... from cupcakes, to cookies, to book & lunch box!! till the next birthday!

we went to aravind to suprise virginie. she was sooooo surprised that she cried! hahaha. there is a chemistry between us. her english was not so good, but we still able to communicate with other and understand each other. a very friendly french lady that we will miss when she flies off to switzerland this week.

last saturday, my sisters and i were invited to attend a surprise birthday party. we knew the birthday girl from our yoga TTC course. and we treated this party as a reunion. there were only 4 chinese in the house. the rest, French! hahaha. we didnt understand what they were talking about, but we enjoyed ourselves. the other guest were very friendly although we didnt really communicate with each other. happy to be there, enjoying the simple yet beautiful & yummy food!! and the cake was something new to us. it was called croquembouch , i dont know how to pronounce as i googled this. it was very sweet. and this is served on special occasion like birthdays, weddings, etc. traditional french dessert, we were told. drinking wine, enjoying the food bit by bit, from appetisers, to main course of paella, to traditional french dessert, ending with assorted fruit on satay stick & cake!! i want this kind of party for my birthday too! hahaha...

after we went out to Mt KK, we chilled out at Pulau Tiga. this trip was my sisters dream destination in KK. so we went, a troop of 20. the remaining 4 didnt want to join us, as they have their own plan. the journey to Kuala Penyu jetty took 2 hours from KK town. we didnt sleep, as we were still talking "excitedly" about the climb. those who made it and those who didnt chatting away until we reached the jetty. it was a bright sunny day. perfect weather for island holiday! once arrived, we were greeted with a magnificient view of the jetty. crystal clear water, clear blue sky with cotton clouds. my ideal holiday by the beach.  when we arrived at the mud volcano, we didnt expect the size of a small pool. we thought it would be bigger! but once everybody dipped in, it was just nice. we didnt venture to the other side of the pool. we were covered with mud except for the eyes and mouth area. the mud was not hot. it was not cold either. we had a good ...

it never cross my mind to climb the highest mountain in SEA, Mount Kinabalu. my sisters have been pestering me since last year to go for it. my reply, No Thank You! and last year when AA was having the cheap airticket sale, they just bought tickets for the family, minus the youngest as it clashed with her study.  and slowly, from a small group of 12, it grown to 24! double! "can i join you all?" "you still have place for me?"... and they didnt really shout out about this trip. and they closed it at 24. the max of place they could secured for Laban Rata. and after many months of waiting, the trip was executed!  did we train for this climb? of course we did. we walked up to Apek Hill almost every sundays, and added Luxury Hill into the list when it was nearer to the climbing date. i was concerned about my stamina as i am not an "active" person! my 63 years old dad walks faster than me uphill. so you know how i fare. hahaha.  off we went to KK on...

the art N craft mode hit me last saturday! and instead of using pegs, i used fridge magnets that i collected from magazines in the office. completed 4 in one afternoon. trying to personalize according to receivers.

The raw materials. Not often i will do crafting at night. But the mood is on, and since i have the simple material, i proceeded. Inspired by a website . The finished product. Ready for installation tomorrow! ~~ update as of Friday 20 Apr ~~ installation completed!

Qing Ming Day falls on 4th April this year. we visited grandpa & grandma's grave this morning. we were there before the break of dawn because we wanted to secure good parking space. and we spent 2 hours there, from darkness till bright daylight. we cleaned up, we beautified, we talked, we laughed. and we even had a mini picnic after the prayer. a fine morning, remembering grandpa & grandma. # hello sunshine #decorating the grave with colourful papers

it's April Fool's Day today. and i have worked for 10 years. wah!!! and it seems like only yesterday i graduated from uni, flipped newspaper, found a job, and reported to work today in a local hotel. then i changed job after 6 months. from admin in a local hotel, to a media agency! whoot! 9 years plus, and come september, 10 years! how many 10 years more? i want smooth working years ahead!

i have finished reading almost all the books below. the two standing on the left are way too deep for my understanding. so, i stacked them according to my likings. from left to right : ~dont understand~like~LOVE!~like #read and below are my to read stack. #to read

had a fruitful Q1 2012. in no particular order. fruit 1 : samsung galaxy tab. story here . fruit 2 : 3x grandstand tickets to watch F1 at Sepang Circuit. although only for qualifying day, still to be there to experience it live was more than enough. we didnt expect the seats were so near to the track and even better, the podium! when we were walking in, the noise of the f1 cars were so ear deafening, we had to buy ear plugs! a pair cost RM5. pay lah!!! or else how to sit until the qualifying ended?? #the two yellow thing to block the noise we were well fed. lunch & tea break were provided to petronas guest. yes, our tickets were courtesy of petronas. we could choose 3 different type of lunch or tea break item. #my tea break, an hour after lunch! hahaha. #first timer at the circuit to show how near we were, we saw michael schumacher. he drives for Mercedes AMG this year. only earned a point on the race day. #schumacher checking out other cars. fruit 3 : backpack & luggage tag...

ha! i have been reading quite a lot lately. one book after another. girly to crime, mother & daughter... so, what's the next book? will randomly pick one from the 2 bags that i bought during the big bad wolf sale which i went twice. 21 mar was my TTC 1st anniversary. what have i accomplished? i think nothing much. i still remember the gayatri mantra, sung differently by lance & phil. didnt teach regularly, making me nervous whenever i have to take over elaine's class. once, there was a student who went home because she wanted yogarobic and not basic yoga. *gulp* my fault for not teaching according to timetable? yesterday morning, in conjunction with the anniversary, i wanted to do something different. i woke up at 4.30am. wanted to self practise. planned to complete 108 sun salutation. i failed. i think i was too arrogant. i thought i would be able to do it early in the morning. (what are you thinking queenofbee?? without proper warm up). when i reach 54, i thought i co...

like real like that... i wish i'm in the VIP list lor! hahaha... #1 : can you spot me?
