Kong Hei Fatt Choy! today is the the 3rd day of CNY. usually during CNY, i lost track what day it is, as in monday, tuesday, wednesday..etc. haha. i dont know why, but it happens every year! this year, boss declared off on CNY eve. so we dont have to "fight" for leave. :) we went out for reunion dinner again this year with Mr Tay & family. we started doing this last year, when mum couldnt really "work hard" last year due to her aching shoulder / back. so, Mrs Tay suggested to mum that we joined their family for a reunion dinner and also to celebrate dad's birthday which falls on the 1st day of CNY and Mrs Tay, on the 4th day of CNY....i think we will be doing this next year and many more years to come. hehehe. the food was served very fast because the restaurant has to clear the 6pm reservations to make way for the 8pm crowd. we just ate and ate and ate. the restaurant was packed because it was the only restaurant in kajang that is open on CNY eve. reservat...

lost and gained

ha! i lost 2kgs in 3 days and gained back in 2 days. i didnt even reach 58, as i thought i would be. i was at 59 on saturday morning and by sunday evening, it's back to normal. kind of disappointed with myself. cannot resist food. haha. craved for rice, craved for everything. so i think i should cut down on my food consumption, in order not to gain any more weight. i want the scale to move to the left, instead of to the right.....like the song "to the left, to the left..." oh, and also to attend more yoga class. sweat sweat sweat. will i repeat the menu again? nah...dont think so...

2nd & 3rd day...

these are day 2 menu.. breakfast menu : 1 slice of toast 1 egg (boiled) 1 cup of tea 1 small banana i prefer 1st day breakfast... more yummy because of the tuna. lunch menu : 4 oz cottage cheese 5 pieces of ritz biscuits 1 cup of coffee i had a tough time finishing the cottage cheese at one go. it looked like mashed toufoo. the taste was not very strong though. 5 small crackers was not enough to "accompany" the cheese. there was about 0.5z left...before i started puking, i stopped eating and put it back into the fridge. i only finished all by 430. dinner menu : 1/2 slice of chicken breast 2 oz of carrot 4 oz of broccoli 1 small banana 4 oz of vanilla ice cream i was hungry by the time i reached home at 8pm. food was nice! i knew i couldnt finish 4 oz of ice-cream, i cut down the portion to about 3 oz. and because i ate earlier on 2nd day, hence i could finish all, without feeling STUFF. day 3... breakfast menu : 1 slice of toast 1 egg (boiled) 1 cup of tea lunch menu : 1 slic...

1st day....

breakfast menu : 1 slice of toast 2 teaspoons of peanut butter jam 1 cup of tea (without sugar / milk) - O, really O! 1 grapefruit i ate my bread and drank my tea at 815am. i couldnt eat the grapefruit after that, so i waited until 10am. first slice - sour...then got a tinge of bitter. continued eating and when there were 2 slices left, i stopped. the bitterness was unbearable. then i remembered jane saying that she ate the grapefruit like eating pomelo. so i peeled off the skin and ate the pulp. ah...now the grapefruit is tasty. by 11.30am, my tummy started making noise. HUH? and i thought mum said this morning breakfast would be very filling, ie. i wont get hungry until late noon. how wrong! and stomach kept grumbling and i drank a lot of water in order to fill it up while waiting for lunch. kept looking at the watch. time passed so slowly. i started cleaning my drawer to keep myself occupied until lunch hour. finished cleaning at 1230, i forced myself to wait until 1pm. lunch menu :...

my first (lucky) draw...my first (diet) plan

Image
my first (lucky) draw : hehehe, i cant believe that i actually won a CD today. it was distributed by 8tv, and all the songs were sang by their in-house artistes. from singers to models, from newscaster to tv host...nice album. being a typical chinese, i love CNY songs. oh, by the way, there are 23 days more to go!!!! i think i am going to blast the CD when i start spring-cleaning the house this weekend, or maybe next weekend?? :P my first (diet) plan : me & my second elder sister will start a diet plan tomorrow. it is known as the "british diet"..dont ask me why, i only know that after eating for 3 days, i will loose 3 kgs. HUH?? serious??? hahaha. shall update after the 3rd day. my eldest sister and mum already started the plan and today is their 2nd day. they 'claimed' that they have lost 1kg, so 2 more kgs to go...! and these are the pictures taken during my aunt's 80th birthday. indeed, majorities of us wore RED or YELLOW that night. aunt gave out angpow t...

Year 2007

Image
it has been a very "blessed" year for me!! it all started in March, when i won myself a lucky draw during our Star+Zenith CNY luncheon. Star gave out 2 cameras, 2 i-pods & 2 handphones. i was so happy that i won the grand prize, i.e. the nokia n73! colleagues almost killed me for winning! hahaha. then on 3rd November, we participated in The Sun Motor Hunt. it was a very "jam" hunt. we were speeding whenever possible. and we even took the risk of skipping a sector so that we could reach the finish line in time. we were penalised for being 8 minutes late. our total score was 65/130. we didnt go to the dinner because we thought we would not win anything. on the following monday, i asked for the result from the organiser and we were told that we were at 112th placing. i knew there were prizes for top 115th teams. i was so happy!!! the prizes remain "unknown" until they arrived on 13th Dec. a Philip iron for each of the team mates. hahahahaha. last but not ...

Drink Drank Drunk

Image
Finally, all the weddings have come and gone. Dinner time was gathering time for me to meet up with friends and also relatives. A friend came back all the way from UK just to attend a dinner. So sweet of him. Was caught with bad sore throat and cough recently. Sleepless night due to the "night" coughing. But i didnt let it to spoil my fun. The wedding ceremony at Malacca was the best. Accommodation & food were faboulous. Had a crazy mahjong marathon from 5.30pm - 12 midnight. We skipped dinner, drank only water and had a few toilet breaks. That's how we addictive we are into mahjong... No drinking for me because i am a lousy drinker. A combination of 20% beer + 80% 7-up is enough to turn myself into a red lobster. Damn embarrassing because people thought i have drank by the dozens. 50% of the guest who attended cousin bro wedding dinner were drunk to the max! Even my cousin & uncle also intoxicated. Haha..it's his wedding, so i guess it's ok to have fun on...

Wedding, wedding and more wedding

After the 7th month of Chinese lunar calendar, people will get "busy" with weddings. My family is being bombared by "red bombs" starting end of October till December. Almost every weekend will have to attend wedding dinner. It's either me, twins or parents will be occupied. We will be broke come December. I penned all the weddings on the whiteboard. It was fully covered, that's how "many" weddings we have to attend. Dinner dress will be "recycled" throughout this period. My plan to get a kebaya has been binned. It's so expensive to get a kebaya top. Averagely have to spend RM 150-200, and the cutting was not really great. Sigh.... Spent time walking around the BIG MALLS. Came home empty handed. Went over to gf's house, and lucky me, i can fit into her dresses!!! She has "out-grow" the dresses, so i am the next heir for 2 dresses! COOL!!! I will attend back to back wedding dinners on 10th & 11th Nov. Luckily no clashe...

Sari now -- kebaya next!

Image
last night was fun...although not as fun as Xmas party, but still fun. everyone dressed up to the nines. baju kurung, kebaya, cheongsam, punjabi suit, sari...we looked so muhibah! cross-culture dressing is fun. hehehe. i choose to wear a sari. twins tailor-made a set when they went to Mt Abu, India. sari...who will tie for me? i tied it myself. i am so proud that i managed to do it! i printed the instructions from internet and tried at home. after a few rounds, YES! it's tucked in properly. we "finished" work at 4pm yesterday so that we have time to doll up for the dinner (that's what boss said). started "wrapping" at 530. i helped another colleague with her sari after i have done mine. my research boss also gave us a good few tips on how to make the pleats nicer and how to walk in sari too! this is how i looked like in sari....hahahaha. perhaps i should get a sari for myself :) before that, i must get a kebaya. mei's is getting married to a baba in nove...

50th Merdeka Celebration

this friday will be Malaysia's 50th merdeka celebration. for me, it means a longer weekend break. no plan is planned, because i wanted to sleep. it will be a pure sleep-eat-drink-sleep day. hahahaha. august has been a hectic month. really cant wait to have no-activity-weekend. but whenever i said i wanted to laze around, for sure some adhoc plan will pop up. hehehe. this wednesday, office is holding a merdeka party dinner at sassorosso (italian restaurant). HUH?? merdeka celebration at italian restaurant?? all of us were surprised too. we thought we would be having a malaysian style of party...no one would have guessed that it's gonna be an international affair... best part, we are required to wear the traditional ethnic costume, aka sari, baju kurung, cheongsam, etc.... what the ???? and there are prizes to be won. best dressed will win RM 1,000 or RM 500 or RM 250. want fast money? then wear pretty pretty! headache....how to be extra ordinary??? gotta look presentable and eas...

Stand By Mode

i'm on stand by mode today. ??? meaning i am sitting in the office, waiting for instruction from my boss in singapore. in case she needs data, she will be able to get it asap. we are working on a pitch, hence the urgency of the data! hope the account remains with us! (pray hard!!!!) regretted that i didnt save the whole working folder in my pendrive. or else i will be sleeping at home now. :) doesnt matter lah. it's hot to sleep at home at this hour. i will just sit here till 5pm+, then go to sg wang to walk around while waiting for dinner tonight.

Up north back-to-back

i have reached the quota of travelling up north this month...or maybe this year. 3rd-5th aug, we went to Langkawi. a total 12 hours to & fro Langkawi. some couldnt believe that we drove there. they said "CRAZY ah?"... went to Langkawi with sisters and friends. actually mum & dad were there also. we went separate ways and met there. it has been such a long time since my last visit there. i think i was 6yrs old at that time. all i could remember were a mountain that looked like a pregnant woman lying on her back and a dirty yucky toilet in the hotel room. jane didnt believe me. and when we were approaching Pulau Dayang Bunting, the boatman stopped the boat and showed us the "pregnant lady" mountain! and need i say more??? "I TOLD YOU SO!!!". we compressed all the activities in 2 days. it was a tiring trip but FUN! the following weekend, 11th-12th, i was in Penang. this round was with colleague. i accompanied her to ATQ Final Concert. since i am par...

phew....still here!!!

and i thought my blog would have been "erased". the last posting was in 2006 Aug 30. wah! almost a year "hibernating"... we are already in the second half of 2007. what have i achieved?? first of all, i cant believe that i am teaching yoga kids. started attending the course last year december, and graduated on 1 July 2007! long period ah!? nah...actually it was only a 20 hour classes, but since the teacher is always flying around, it's kind of hard to fix a weekly class. kids yoga? it's tough teaching kids. with adults, at least they will pay attention to you. BUT when comes to kids, i am happy if they just follow my instructions starting from 930am till 1030am when the class finishes. after 2 months, the conclusion is, they will follow your instruction when they feel like it. or else, they would be sitting there and look at you doing tree pose, aeroplane, eagle...... every friday night, i will be thinking...what should i teach tomorrow??? i have taught them...

A Fruitful Trip...

Last weekend was spent at SummerSet Endau-Rompin. AXN organised a Trade Event and they invited media agencies and clients to join the 3 days-2 nights event. It was my first event organised by Media Owner. All paid, no need to fork out $$. One of the activities held was to complete a race. It's like Amazing Race. We were grouped into a team of 4. A guy and 3 girls (just to be fair, i guess). We have to find an answer for a question. In order to answer it, we have to complete 9 tasks to collect 9 clues at 9 different CheckPoints around the resort. Every checkpoint has a theme, based on all the famous series showing on AXN. The race was scheduled at 2 in the afternoon! Luckily it was not very sunny, or else we would be over-burnt by the sun. My team's first CheckPoint (CP1) was the furthest from where we were flagged off. We were running at first, then we jogged, then we walked .... breathless... and found the villa at the end of the resort. Inside the villa, we were required to f...
