Queen Of Bee

the past 2 weeks, i have traveled to Taiwan. it has been a fun 10 days with sisters and friends. served us right for not checking the weather properly, hence brought the wrong cloths. cold. really cold. overall, the trip was pampered as we hired a driver from the start until the end of the tour. spent quite a lot of time traveling as we covered from north, down to the middle of the island and headed back up to TaoYuan.  and for the past 2 weeks, Malaysia was famous all around the world due to the missing MH370 aeroplane that was supposed to fly to Beijing, but went out of radar half way through. we got the news prior to boarding. it was not a good news for those boarding a plane. i brushed the news off, saying it was fake. when i was in the plane, i was worried. i prayed for a smooth take off, a smooth journey, and a smooth landing. thank goodness.  24 Mar, PM announced that MH370 crashed into the Indian Ocean. what's the reason for MH370 to make a detour from its origi...

started the day with a cup of tea, and a crooked spoon. like my mind, not thinking straight. today is not saturday, today is holiday!

i dont mind working late because of pre-holiday! hahaha... but i still worry about not being able to complete my work. but then again, work can never be completed!  going off now..one more day tomorrow and i'm off! 

one of the nicest tidbits i have ever tried. courtesy of a friend who sent via post from singapore. 

i'm counting the days to my Taiwan trip this weekend. it was not in my to-go-country at the moment. but sisters said, why not just joined them since all has been arranged? so, a trip it is!

making a list of things to do in 2014. hopefully i can follow the list closely. 1) to complain less 2) to laugh more 3) to love more 4) to read more 5) to spend less time in facebook (this one very hard! hahaha) 6) to walk more 7) to spend more time on yoga mat

what have i been doing for the past many many months? i stopped writing in September, not that i have been writing daily. which i tried to, but i failed. anyway, October has been fun. it was because i traveled to Osaka with my sisters and friends. we spent about 9 days there. from Osaka, we headed to Kyoto first, then back to Osaka. a very lovely country. a very clean country. a very systematic country, whereby the public transportation is awesome. we used the bus and the train throughout the journey. did we get lost? maybe, i guess. but the japanese were kind enough to show us the correct route, although they could not speak english.  and when i came back from Osaka, 3 days later, i went to Bali. it was my company trip. 3d2n. yeah, a very short trip. we only saw a volcano, and went to kuta beach. and we were back in KL. the flight was in the afternoon, so, first day was gone. and the flight back on day 3 was in the afternoon as well. so, in total, i think i spent less than ...

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!

last night after 22 years, i met my Std 2 class teacher. after introducing myself, she took some time to "recall" who is this "stranger" (she has taught so many studentsssss!! ) "yes! 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! ~

first posting for 2013. i have completed 11 years. 11! 11!!!! how many 11 years more? or 1 year more??

it's the season of joy! wrote an email to clients and it goes like this. ------------------------------------------ Dear Ladies, M e r r y C h r i s t m a s & H a p p y N e w Y e a r !! I wrote to S a n t a for a long weekend, but I guess I have been naughty, so my wish was not granted. Zenith is only closed on 25 th Dec 2012. Business as usual for the remaining days. Happy Holidays to all!!! ------------------------------------------ received positive reply from them. they find it funny! hahaha. inspired by pictures in pinterest, using 2 candy canes to form a heart. so pretty, the heart! hahaha. merry christmas!

in a few blinks, it's christmas! time flies.....

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!

it was her last day yesterday. do i feel relieve? a part of me yes. but i need to do her work!!! hahaha... next week it's going be a "high-class" week. meeting with fashion clients. wishing the week will pass by in a blink of eye! *wink* happy friday!

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 ...

hmm, have not been updating for a while. will fly off to beijing later today. "staff retreat", boss asked us to tell client. and make this trip as low profile as possible. hahaha. so, more update when i'm back!

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...
