writing this using my new phone. awesomeness! nokia e5. 

1) when you are looking at wedding photos published by photographers, meaning you want to get married. *doink* ~~i'm looking at how the photographers captured the moment lah... 2) when you hardly drive, you are not good with directions, you wont know the way. *sigh* ~~ i'm observant, ok moe? selamat hari raya!

i'm off this thursday! boss has declared free holiday in conjunction with hari raya on 10-11 sep (fri-sat). 4 days in a row. nice. my big plan will be to rest at home. and bury my nose in nelson mandela's biography. the book is too heavy to be carried along to read in the train. will try to finish reading it within this 4 days. can i make it? i have read 3 books (consecutively) about china, during Mao's era. started with falling leaves , then wild swan and then mao's last dancer . i like the last book the most. easy to read. not as heavy as wild swan.

last friday was ricks birthday. he didnt expect we would be "touching" his table on his big day. last last friday's plan was a failure (no repeat.. recycling sucks). so, instead of messing up, it was cleaned up instead. and changed the wallpaper. added some deco just for the sake of "party feel"... #1 : the clean table his response, "you all ah.... tsk tsk tsk.. should have taken MC today". then, we tried to surprise him with a sing-song session. this has failed because he knew. next was lunch. we went to tony roma's as he is a meat-a-ta-rian. they gave the birthday boy a complimentary birthday lava. he was ambushed from the back by the waiters with a super loud happy birthday song. face immediately turned red! hahaha. wishing ricks, many more quarters to go!! last saturday, i was in malacca for a 2D1N trip. just to eat. re-eat what i have ate on new year this year. while waiting for a procession to pass by, we ended up by the riverside, overlook...

It started last year when your team started to plan surprises for Lee on her birthday. It was nicely executed. Tears in her eyes… aww… To have the same effect after the first surprise was kind of hard. Especially when the lucky one is you, CYW . You noticed we were missing last night during buka puasa dinner. This morning, “ what time you will come in today ”. Enough said. Balloons, checked. Big Mess, checked. Crown, checked. Ribbons, checked. We have checked whatever items that we think should be checked. Still, you managed to dodge all of us by coming in earlier than expected. And telling this to the receptionist, ‘ Don’t you call them !’ (thumbs up!), and walked into the office ,“ silently ”. “She is here already!” ~ we have failed ~ You still entertained our request to react the ‘surprise’ scene once again. Thank you so much for cooperating. Were you surprised? A little surprised? Happy birthday, CYW! Btw, you found your present? It’s a memorable day for committee. #1 : last ni...

i had a craving for coffee yesterday morning. there was no hot water in the office. hence, that gave me more reason to go down to the lobby to get coffee. i wanted something hot. usually it will be latte. so, i ordered one. in my mind, i always wanted the foam on top of the latte to be in a heart shape. the way the barista poured the milk can create various patterns on the coffee. #1 : my dream cup of latte (the name was "fake" lah) and while i was waiting for my drink, i looked at the receipt. i didnt specify the size, so he gave me a large. then, something caught my attention. i saw my name on the receipt. i thought it was the barista's name. but could not be. mimi is a girl name wor. i was a bit "confused". some more early morning. could not think properly. and i was already happy when i saw there was a discount! 10% discount leh! #2 : personalized receipt with my name when the barista poured the milk into the cup, i was hoping he could create some pattern on...

"you have to learn how to fall. and you must learn how to fall gracefully ". i learn this from my yoga teacher. hahaha. today, i went for class. we had to do inversion pose, ie headstand, the pose that i fear most. i'm still learning how to stabilise myself without the backing of a wall. the flow was quite fast for me. i tried a few rounds, but failed to raise both my legs up steadily. i tried again. and manage to 'stand' on my head. happy! but it was not for long. i tumbled down. not from the front, but towards the back. BAAM! everything happened too fast. i was down, lying on back, looking at the ceiling, smiling. my first fall while on headstand. the others were still on their "head". i regained my composure and joined back the flow of the class. the teacher said i fell gracefully. did i? she said i rounded my back and this prevented from hurting my neck and back. i didnt realise all that. i knew i was tumbling down, and on the floor. hahahaha.... mor...

soo-Mees found an icon today in yahoo messenger. she got a shock! why? see below. #1 : coincidence? she compared my profile picture and the icon. pink hat and white frame sun glasses sitting by the beach! how on earth i could look like that icon?? or maybe the other way round?? hahahaha.........LOL!!!!

went out for a belated birthday dinner last sunday with my friends at khuntai restaurant, off jalan gasing. the food was so so only. friend bought me a jelly cake. i asked for mahjong shape. but she said it was too HUGE. 5 kg. hence she chose another shape, which was a lamb, the year i was born. the best part was when we were about to leave the restaurant. usually, the restaurant staff would just bring the cake out when we requested for it. they wont light the candle, whatsoever. we wanted to go to another cooler place to eat the cake. so we asked them to bring the cake out. we waited for quite some time. no sign of the cake although we have paid the bill. then all the lights in the restaurant were switch off. err... "what's happening?",we asked. the staff said,"moe-si moe-si, sang yat jeh.. (nothing nothing, it's just birthday)". then my friends started laughing. they saw the staff holding the cake, walking out from the restaurant, candle lit and singing ha...

the trip that we have been looking forward to, has come & gone. we left kl on wednesday night.. or, should i say thursday morning at 0030. from wangsa maju, we headed to merang jetty, terengganu. we didnt know how long the journey would be. only one driver throughout the journey. we offered to drive. but driver said,"it's ok. i'm fine". so we let him drove lah! my eyes were extremely heavy. i thought i could kept the driver company. 2 passengers accompanied him, while me & juns shut our eyes. 5 of us were in a car, while another 3 friends were to fly to KT. they have drove all the way from singapore. if to drive to merang, can die! we stopped to pee once, and to pump petrol once. no food stop. and when i was about to fall sleep, we have reached the jetty at 0630. my head was so heavy. at the jetty, there were so many "stalls" with the name of the resort. but we could not find RedangLang Resort . we stopped looking. we decided to eat breakfast first. ...

just came back from dinner with colleagues. we had another round of steamboat. the 1st was during christmas eve, if i'm not mistaken :) supposed to celebrate post farewell for aud, then convocation for the 2 gentlemen. but they added another reason, birthday (without me knowing). this dinner was arranged on wednesday. as i was asking ricks how to go to his place, juns came over and asked ricks not to read a message from jo-ns. i was standing behind ricks and a message was blinking. eye contact between both of them. something fishy.....hmmm..... we waited for far neighbour and jacks to arrive for dinner. far neighbour arrived. then ricks received a call from jacks and he went out. then ricks came back into the house. told us jacks needed to park his car. then ricks switched off part of the living room light. eh... meh si ah? i saw eye contacts. fishy fishy! then jacks came in with a cake. adoiss.... pai seh pai seh. it was a green tea cake from RT Bakery. last year's birthday a...

hai.... it's the ktm train again today. reached kl sentral at about 6+pm. as usual, there was a big crowd at the platform. expected. then, i heard the announcement. "technical problem at bank negara station. train to klang and seremban will be delayed". ok. expected too! i heard another annoucement, "train to sg buloh arriving soon". i quickly went to the opposite side of the platform to board the train to kl station. my usual practise whenever kl sentral is packed. once inside the train, felt glad that i didnt have to wait at kl sentral. waited for the train to close the door. the door was not closed. remained open for quite some time. why ah? close the door lah! waited and waited... about 10min later, i walked out of the train. i walked back to seremban platform because announcement said train to bangi arriving soon. the platform was so crowded. i didnt even walked down the stairs. i heard another announcement. "train to sentul arriving soon"". ...

i'll be going to lang tengah next wednesday!! i consider this my first holiday for 2010. have been waiting for this trip since.... i forgotten. march maybe? or is it april? anyway, it's here finally!!! we will be driving on wednesday night to terengganu. no bus, as some of my colleagues are concerned about the driving skill of the bus driver :) by driving on our own, we can stop whenever we want, wherever we want! but will take turn to drive because it's going to be a long long long drive there! #1 : sun, sea, sand.... TAN! TAN! TAN!

woke up early this morning for breakfast. had a slice of bread with butter & kaya. and a cup of black local coffee. light breakfast before yoga class at 1130am. and we reached the centre at 1115am. still early. no sign of the teacher. we waited inside the car. tick tock tick tock. it was already 1135am. still no sign of her. maybe she was caught in the jam due to road closure in kl for KL marathon? and we had the answer after a phone call. she was expecting a CONFIRM sms from us, which was not sent to her. so, she thought we were not free. aiyah! coming sunday also no class, because she is away in bali. woo hoo!! but i guess, when we go back for practise, we will be "tortured".

this morning, everything was smooth. and i even received an early birthday present from a colleague! and my birthday is like.. 2 weeks away? hahaha! then by noon, things started to get bumpy. received a brief that has to be completed by end of the day. ok... then SL told me ktm service is "a bit" down in the afternoon (prompted by aunty J) err.... ok.. then later in the evening, SL called again and said monorail service was down. she has to walk all the way to lrt station. err... ok.. because i have not finished my work, i could not follow Tigger back to kajang. continued working until 7.30pm, SL called again. and this time, she was crying over the phone. "dont take the KTM today!!!" (my first thought was she got harassed! but no, it was not, it was even WORSE than that) "the train that i took just now was on fire. heard some explosion then saw fire" (i could not hear clearly because she was crying and talking at the same time.) "i dont know where i a...

i'm reading a book by adeline yen mah , "Falling Leaves", the memoir of an unwanted chinese daughter. borrowed this from a friend. i was reading it this morning in the LRT, and i almost missed my station. i was supposed to disembark at klcc. when the lrt stopped, i was looking for sign, "what station is this??".. then i saw a lot of people getting down, i just followed, and kept searching for signboards. and then i saw it. klcc. phew!.. or else, i had to stop at the next train, then take another train back to klcc... hassle hassle!!!

i have been practising yoga on and off for the past few years. i hate inversion the most. why? because i could not do it. haha! headstand... that was toughest to me. i tried. but failed. and i stopped trying. and i just stood there and watch other standing on their hand. *jealous* we started taking private class since last year. after more than 10 classes, i am happy that i'm able to stand on my head! muahaha! the teacher taught us the techniques. how to position our hands. how to position our head. leg. body. shoulder. tuck in the tail bone. shoulder roll to the back. soften your heart. these were the frequent phrases that were used during the class. our first few classes were a tortured. we came back with body aching all over. we still feel the pain after every class. i'm glad that my sisters forced me to join them. after headstand, my next aim will be handstand! namaste

today is duan wu festival , or dragon boat festival. happy dumpling day!!! i had to take a break from eating dumpling. though it's my favourite, i think i overdosed already. hahaha.
