Queen Of Bee

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?

making it a MUST to go for a walk on sundays. part of the practise before the real hike in May. 7 more sundays to go!! the morning view from luxury hill is awesome!!!

and i survived another round today. by saying "this is how i work, i cannot change" really get on my nerve. FINE! if you want it that way, your choice.

a date that we only see every 4 years. happy 29th Feb!

i went to office this morning without my identification card. i only realised i left it at home when i was in the train. shit. this remind me of the time when i was in rapid bus and there was a roadblock. the police asked for passport. and those who have id, show id. pray hard, no such thing will happen today. phew...nothing happened. but! i only realised my purse was not in my bag when i wanted to go to the bank just now. shit number two. where is my purse? did i misplace it? i went out for lunch. coffee. i remember holding it when i went back to office. immediately called back to office. first person didnt pick up.stressss. second person just left...stress....she gave me a number to call the third person. didnt pick up. dieeeeee. continued to call fourth person. left office. sigh...called fifth person, voice mail. arghhhhh. message came in. third person sms. faster called her to confirm that i have left my purse in the office drawer. indeed. phewwwwww... a day with no id and no money...

this is my first entry using the tab. oh, the tab has arrived yesterday. borned 23 feb 2012. my new toy for the year. hehehe. the size of a novel. small. likeeee!!

i almost exploded yesterday evening. i was so angry at the junior for not paying attention when we were discussing about work. she just turned her head and asked the question again when we already have the answer. my face turned red immediately. i felt so hot. i wanted to scream at her. but i didnt. i knew my intonation was higher when i told her off. she just laughed and said sorry sorry. and continued laughing and went back to her seat to revise her work. people said i'm a patient person. but i guess it's getting thinner now. my fire is getting stronger. i'm trying to hold myself back whenever something irritates me. i dont want to scream and regret later. because when you are angry, you dont know what words will come out from the mouth. so, i have been going to the toilet quite often to chill out first, before i correct them. argh! i hope i wont slap either one of them in future.

sometimes, i will say no to plastic bag when i buy things. but i'm glad that i didnt say no as the plastic bag that i received has a very interesting quote printed on it. happy friday!

i asked for it! and i got it! previous post , i was talking about The Star lunch on monday (30 jan). the main attraction was the lucky draw. and everyone is hoping to get it. #1 : the chosen angpow #2 : the prize #3 : letter for redemption as it was CNY period, they said the stocks are slightly delayed. so, i will have to wait for TAB to arrive. no problem! i will wait! my last draw was in 2010, it was a canon camera . the first lucky draw i got was a nokia n73 back in 2007. striked 3 times! hahaha.. happy new year ler!!

for the past 7 days, have been doing a lot of cleaning, washing, mopping, then eating, drinking. time flies, today is already the 6th day of CNY. day 1-3 were solely occupied with family and relatives. i started working on day 4. other colleagues in the same department took longer break as they went back to penang and ipoh. i will take a day off next tue. the 9th day of CNY is the BIG day for hokkien. according to the "start work" calendar, my best day would be on day 5. but i didnt find it best as i was "stranded" in the office until 9.30pm. some hiccup with work due to miscommunication. no point to get angry, just quickly sorted them out as it's due next monday. during the past 2 working days, we went out for lunch. vegetarian and then organic lunch. drove out because traffic was still smooth as many were still on leave. not often we got the chance to do this. haha. after a hectic one week of none stop cleaning, washing, eating, drinking, today is the day i wo...

display for this year. brought grandma's "8-por" basket out from cupboard for display. mum said it's antique because grandma used this when mum got married to dad. welcoming the long holidays, the "traffic" in kl sentral was as bad as the road traffic. it was raining last friday (last working day) and added more "waiting time" for the commuters. i was luckily to escape the long wait as i was in the office playing "chinese lego". rearranged my table nicely to welcome a new year. hopefully the year of dragon will be a smooth one! kong hei fatt choy!
