Queen Of Bee

i hardly drive to work. last monday was my first drive to new office. i left house at 645am, the same time if i were to take the train. i had a choice of 2 routes. 1) saga highway-connaught-tmn desa-mid valley-bangsar, OR 2) sg besi highway-tmn desa-mid valley-bangsar. i chose option 2. and i arrived at the office at 740am. about an hour drive. the jam was bearable along sg besi and after tmn desa, turning off to mid valley. took the same route back home. i drove for the past few days because i was on standby for a new pitch. got conned. the brief didnt come. or maybe delayed. dont know lah. yesterday, i tried connaught highway after work. and the jam was unbearable. after the 0.50 toll, the jam started. and only ended when i reached saga highway. crazy! no accident, no night market. no whatsoever. but JAM! cilakak. this morning, it was raining. oh-oh. sure jam to the max. indeed. massive car park after sg besi toll. why? accident lor. i was being laughed at for driving at the slow lan...

yesterday, i tried taking the U87 bus after work. wanted to see the last stop. and i ended up at pasar seni. along the way, i passed by kl sentral. so, if i want, i could stop there instead of lrt bangsar. just need to walk a bit. but can save money. morning time, i would prefer U87 bus. less crowd. can get seat. the time i spent waiting in the bus to be "sardine-packed" in lrt bangsar is almost the same as the time i spent walking from north to south court in MV. just that i need to wait a bit longer for the bus to arrive. no complain. as long as i have seat. so, tried tested. U87 in the morning and evening if possible. why i said possible? it's because anything can happen. so, just go with the flow. whatever comes, just hop on!

Today is 20 10 2010. No particular meaning. Just a nice number.

we have moved into the new office last sunday, 10-10-10. my mode of transport has to be adjusted slightly. i have to take the bus now. *gulp* first day of going to work in bangsar was like first day going to school. kan cheong! haha. my colleague and i had promised to meet at lrt bangsar and to explore the bus route together. found the bus. reached office before 8.30am. not so bad after all. day 1 route (back & fro office) : ktm kl sentral (RM2.80) > lrt (RM 1.00) > rapid bus-T634 (RM1.00) #my work station... day 2, i wanted to explore another route. but ktm service was delayed (yeah.. tell you something you dont know, kan?). ended up taking day 1 route to office. day 3 & 4, colleague gave me a ride to the office. day 5, managed to try another route. ktm midvalley (RM2.60) > rapid bus-U87 (RM1.00). and i reached office almost the same time as i took the bus. the differences were, i saved RM 1.20. and i got to burn some calories by walking from mid valley north court to...

for the past 8 years, i have been traveling from kajang to jln sultan ismail for work. come monday, i will travel from kajang to bangsar for work. i have finished packing the stuff that i have accumulated for so many years. all boxed, sealed & waiting for movers to collect them! this is my workstation since i started working here. i changed workstation once. but i came back. i have a "wall" to stick whatever that i wanted to stick on it. photos, stickers, etc... my workstation, the most "colourful" work station in the office. * proud * when the moving date was confirmed, we started packing. throwing old files that we have kept for ages inside the cabinets. out of sight, for sure out of mind. so, all were pulled out. major clearance! i removed all the memories from the "wall". it's so dull now. i wonder whether i can decorate my place the way i have been doing. :) last night, all were cleared except for working files. desktop will be gone by friday ...

for the past 3 days, when i touched out from ktm kl sentral, i was a VERY HAPPY passenger. why? t&g displayed a very nice number. RM 0.00. i dont know when this started as i only noticed the zero on tuesday morning. i thought my vision was blurred due to early morning. the zero made me panic for awhile because i thought it would caused an error in the card. so, i tried with lrt. no problem accessing. the next morning, i touched out again. zero. hahahaha... the next next morning (which was yesterday lah), zero again. hahahaha..... this morning, RM 2.80. my happiness was cut short. happy friday!

just got the official news that my boss will be leaving the office. clients were just informed about her joining the team in august. and now she is leaving. adoi. sure will be teased when meeting up with them end of october. hai... how to explain? 

today is the 15th day of 8th month. HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL! 

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"". ...
