i have not been updating. it's the last day of 2013. so, how was it? work wise, it has been ok so far. the most memorable would be when we worked over weekends, and almost 24 hours when it was due for submission. i have no fear driving home at 5am, because i was too sleepy to be afraid. travel wise, Oct has been a superb month! went to japan for 9 days. and 3 days later, i was off to bali. had a chance to watch a musical, LIVE! so, it's a wrap! 2014, bring it on!!

“1st day of school. The coach & student met. Hello! Nice to meet you! And classes started. The student had so much fun learning / discovering new things from the coach. And the coach, learnt something from the student as well. You will never know what you can learn from another person! And there is no full-stop in learning. To teach is to learn. 3 months down the road, the was a pop-quiz session. The coach asked a question. It was a subjective question. Since it was a subjective question, hence there was no right or wrong answer. The answer from the student gave the coach a surprised. The coach expected another answer from the student. The student was feeling down. She tried to be his best student. The coach wanted her to be his top student. Both had a discussion. And came to an agreement. That both will continue to learn from each other. Learning is a long journey. The start of a journey is always fun & exciting. Discovering new things al...

this morning, house phone was ringing non-stop. it was 630am. i was in the toilet, doing big business. when no one picked up the phone, my guess was both mum and dad went out. and jane woke up and ran to pick up the phone. and she yelled, "mum accident! faster faster!!: luckily i was done, and three of us drove down to the scene. it was just at the junction nearby our house. when we were driving downhill, we saw mum sitting by the roadside. as we were walking towards her, we saw her bleeding. OMG!! the blood was on her neck, and i thought from her ear as well. but luckily no. she just sat there, and said,"i'm in pain! i want to go hospital." dad was not with her during the accident, as dad was supposed to go to putrajaya hospital for his physio. luckily he was just nearby, after dropping off sim at ktm station. he was already there, checking on the car. elaine and dad went to take a picture of the car that bang our car. while me was holding on mum as she was sitt...

i hardly stayed awake for 24 hours. if i do, it's for overnight mahjong. the last overnight session was many years ago. we could played from night till morning, and then breakfast before we went to bed. and need less days to recover from the ONE night sleepless night. today is monday. the time now is about 3.58am. on saturday, i arrived in the office at 9am and only left the office at 1am. by the time i hit the pillow, it was already 2am. and i woke up at 7am again so that i could be in the office at 9.30am. my longest working hours in my life. tiring? yes of course. but it's a memorable one for years to come. will i do it again? if i have a choice, NO!

I remember you! thank you for coming forward and greet me. feels like i have struck a lottery!" ~ just a simple greeting to put a smile on her face ~ remember to say hi, yeah! ~

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!

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...
