Enhancers

When I 1st started work in June.. I was welcome by these pleasant surprises..

Yeap, you've guessed right.. It was the enhancers.. So you think.. what are 'enhancers'? I was wondering too but I guess it's what the company gave us to 'enchance' our work day, which made more sense to me.. else I'd to find the person who started this 'enchancer' thingy.. :P

As the days & weeks grew, I realized my list enhancer got longer too.. Unfortunately it was only for the month of June T.T how I wish it will be an everyday thing.. SIGH~

This is what I could recall though (I didn't jot it down everytime nor do I took any photo for those) :

01) fruit cuts

02) 2 san fran beverages per (not every) day (any flavour you desire, any size)

03) san fran muffin

04) secret recipe cakes

05) VERY BIG juicy persimmon

06) magnum ice cream

07) secret recipe brownies

08) cornish

09) dried mangoes

10) dried apricots

11) chachos

12) san fran turkey mushroom with cheese on ciabatta or vegetarian pie (i bet you could have guessed.. no prizes for guessing it right though..LOL)

13) VERY BIG juicy sweet apple

14) the final items on the list.. ARE .... TADA!!







I am very happy.... They even put my name...

Now, I have to wash my mugs so I won't get caught being a pig T.T

My new job..

*This post was supposed to be on 1st June 2010*

Well, after some exhaustive and worrisome search, and some postponed interview dates, I've finally found work by end of May & started by 1st of June 2010..

So nervous and have to get up early cos need to put on make up and dress nicely and dig out all my nice heels that I have to abandon because of my elephant feet...

So, siap already looking fabulous.. then when I reach office, this is what happened :

1) got lost several times, took wrong lifts, took wrong turns.. lol

2) forgotten the door to ladies, accidentally masuk gents, a male colleague heading to gents was chuckling when he saw me.. hahahahahhahaha

3) alot of people wearing jeans.. especially the admins..

4) although wearing heels are the preferred choice of many, quite a number of them wearing flat sandals / to me it is actually slippers.. quite bersantai-santai..

When I was taken around the office, I realised several things that the company has.... few leisure areas facing windows to breakaway, few pantries too.. hahahaha.. and I haven't go use the mash potato machine..

Come Monday, I have to remind myself (for the umpteenth time) that I need to bring a personal bowl.. LOL

Next up : ENHANCERS..

Penang.. Long GONE.. : The Road Trip~

Ok... OK.. so I was supposed to post this like last month.. so I was supposed to announce to the world how funny the journey was.. but .. I was too sick / lethargic / tired / lazy (mostly lazy)..

I think this would be my 1st picture more than words blog.. hahahahahaha.. Enjoy!!

We stopped at the Jambatan restaurants and have Burger King!! I chomped on mine...

Look at her LCLY face with the fried mozarella!!

 This is our receipt~ Look at the damage.. hahaha!

The wind blows and the sakai emerged!!
Freaking hot weather and I got a tan just from sitting in a car...

Trust me, I really have to do this... It is an obligation!!

Must hold on.. can't fall asleep just yet *in case got wallop by driver*

This is not doughnut.. I was bored and taking picture of my belly button.. LOL

A view of my thigh's permanent marital partner... The Cellulite.. muahahahahahha

My pox scar that looked like kena bite by 1 small 1 big fang.. hehehehehe

My gf asked me to take the tunnel from her phone but sigh so hard la... so I used mine.. hehe!

 Yeap, at the end of every tunnel, there's always light *OHM*

You're probably wondering why the journey to penang is so funny...

1st : green scenery

More greens..

Mountains and greens.... sejuk mata memandang kan??

And then the nightmare begins...From afar, this hideous gigantic thing caught our eyes :

See the logo??

I got the logo for evidence.. YTL CEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were both shouting murder and ranting plus I was still struggling to get a better picture when this happened : 

That's right, A VAN!! and WHY???!! Because the gf's phone camera is stupid.. LOL

So gf asked me to 'take more scenery la!' and this happened next :

A moving truck and the tyre.. kan pandai her camera???

So I showed her all those above and we roared with laughter, ridiculing my photography skills, me lambasting her idiot phone camera and how ridiculous things turned out~ Then to my delight.. I discovered this, hence to her horror, the nightmare had begun :

Pretty pretty clouds~

A roast pig like cloud on the right, which we debated furiously about~

Don't ask me why, I like how the cloud looks.. 

Look to the left, it's like a hand stretched out for $!! 
You can almost hear me say : 'Hou sam lor, fuk sam lor~'

Then there's the look of 'battle between the good and evil'

Seems like the dark 1 is sending it's minions (the small black ones) to round and attack the white 1

The takeover was successful.. can you see how the white's arms are both stretched like being held by the armpit and both it's legs are curved when you are lifted up *sob*

Then it's armies attacked us :

I think we just past Ipoh or Taiping or something when it rained.. HEAVILY..

Ok, suddenly not so heavy anymore..

Ok, there!! It's making a comeback again~

And I didn't give up :

Nice hor? I took it through the tint from top part of main front window.. lol

It poured like nobody's business.. at this point, we think 'HABISLA, SURE REACH 7PM'

I even got a side 1 to show to you guys how 'lebat' it is~

And also some laughables (or not) to show how capable this photographer is and her trials and tribulation with that thing call phone camera :

A tribute to O.S.

This is a special heartfelt tribute that I want to dedicate to 2 person who I had the pleasure of unexpectedly crossed path with in my life.

O & S.. YES, definitely you & you that I am referring to :")  (not an operating system, mind you)

Back to them..

They have both appeared in my life when time is of essence, when hope is lost, when need is dire..

And I am forever grateful and indebted for that, for their loving kindness and helpfulness.

Without them both, my dark clouds wouldn't have been lifted..

They are my guardian angels or 'yan kongs' as we chinese put it...

I know you both are not seeking for any repayment from my part but I just have to say this to both of you :

THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO MY LIFE, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE TO GUIDE ME & COMFORT ME..

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!

See you and not a GOODBYE..

Yesterday was a get together, a last dinner, a farewell for 1 of my good friend. I have been thankful that i meet many great ppl in life. I have my darling, i have my baby, my kwai suen, my dears and my brothers (which included someone by the name of S)

Back to yesterday.. I will miss her dearly, for she is a great friend and when we have come together to a pattern, to a symbiosis (so to say).. she have to leave here..

Life seems better for her and I am grateful that she will find better things in life (thank you GOD) .. the prospect looks great and i hope that everything will be alright with her.. there are so many things i want to say to her. to tell her that she will be sorely missed but i was VEGE'd on my couch.. lol..

There are nights when we will stay up till wee hours in the morning, talking about our deepest thoughts, feelings, revisiting memories, being nostalgic about things and talking about our futures, hopes and aspirations.

You must promise to be very happy.. because you deserve every single ounce and drop of it. I love you and hope to come see you soon..

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow & Everyday Ever Since...

Yesterday....

Was a great day for me.. until i have to read something that is so annoying that it made me feel like wanting to slap someone whom i once called a best friend.. In my whole life, nothing works me up more than a person who simply remarked ever so lightly on other's problem and situation, in their easily available 'advice' without any thoughts or justification (2 sides of a coin).. in that case that person just 'kong fung leong suet wah'. really made me so pissed i think any angry cat family will bow down in fear if they saw my face...


Today....

Went to see my doctor in SJMC today (Now it's Sime Darby Medical Centre, Subang). He threatened to disown me as a patience should I not, in his word, do what needed to be done so i could move on with my life... I just found a father / grandfather i never had.. what a warm and fuzzy feeling it is..

Blood report out, no conclusion.. just telling me that i am suffering from unnatural stress.. that i should be rid of any need for medical consultation nor medication once i repel the source of unnatural stress that is causing me this unnatural prolonged sickness.. let's hope he is right because i am tired of swallowing pills.. LOL

I actually wished that he would've certified me unfit to work for the rest of my life so at least I can file appeal to kebajikan + prudential to support my life.. then find a receptionist work and continue to be in a less stressful environment.. It does make me wonder.. why do we work ourselves to death? all for what? excuse for more luxury? get ourselves into more debts?


Tomorrow....

Will be my last day, how i dreaded it.. how i.. well.. 1 thing is for sure when i get there.. where the hell are my claims, photocopies of all my leave forms since beginning of my employment and my bloody pay cheque???!!


Everyday Ever Since....

Thank god also in the form of my baby.. who have been more than understanding.. being there for me when i am so grumpy and bitchy especially so when i am in whole lotta pain.. bearing with me with my smelly hair, sour body odour and dragon breaths.. lol... taking care of me and made sure i am never hungry, that i am never thirsty and that i can lean back on her.

I now hope that all financial worries would soon be over and all that is owe to me will be paid in time (as in immediately) so i can just move on and get out of this labyrinth of darkness.. (only that part la). The rest of my life is just, really no complains.. not much anyways (i'm sure my baby will beg to differ) LOL..

Conclusion...

Wow! 'Pat King Pat Kok' it's already 01.01.2010. It's been so long since I blogged I thought I will never blog again.. For me, early 2009 was really good until things turned sour.. still it was a good year for me, relationships wise.. Let's recap..

The Good :

1) I went back more often to see my mother, my sister and my son. Overall i feel our relationship has improved, though there are still some grey areas between me and my sis..

2) I got out from an abusive relationship, the person died mid year and i went further into a journey of self discovery and my emotional & soul healing

3) My work was smooth and even though full of stress and working late into midnights and public holidays, I've received pro-rata bonus and cash incentive from my boss

4) I met a bunch of great brothers and they have been true friends to me so far, when they knew that I am down, they will call to cheer me up

5) I also met a bunch of great sisters and they have also been there for me. We have had countless ycha sessions, makan makan (bbq, dimsum, especially dimsum and wantanmee too) or just plain hanging out at my place.

6) I've gotten a really good housemate on top of 2 other existing fantastic ones

7) I met someone new and didn't expect romance to blossom until it did. I am fortunate to meet someone who has such beautiful soul and is a sensitive being. Having said that, the person is also like everyone else including me, with flaws :P

8) I also met someone who has tirelessly adviced me on what i could do whenever i encountered a problem and this person still and will continue to help me yet do not want to receive any form of gesture or repayment in return

9) I had my life reading and the result was as expected but now I knew better what to do just still wondering how i could progress and make my life more kaya raya.. muahahahahhah

10) I also found a true person in my colleague & who is, i believe over time will remain a good friend

11) I have also met many more nice, kind, understanding, wise, intelligent, empathic brothers and sisters from Fatine's Right to Stay Together group

12) I met very very good doctors who tried their best to help me get my health back on track

13) My son forced me to watch 'Chowder' with him and well, all I can say is... my son really has great sense of humour!!

14) Thanks to my sister and her 2 lovely toy poodles Chester and Bubble, I have kinda gotten my fear of dogs outta way.. The moment I like best is when i sat on the couch and both of these sweeties will each be on my left and right side, lying down, letting me 'kepit' them..

15) My mom said something to me that brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know that my mom will, till today still think about my welfare so much so until she said to me what she said that very night. For 1/3 of my life i resented my mom because as the eldest I had to be well.. the eldest.. and 2/3 of my life i still can't make peace with the resentment. my 3rd part however, see things my 1st & 2nd part didn't see & i have grown to admire my mom more and more and now i finally understand all my many why-s with her.

16) Having grown up with my stern mom, i didn't know she was capable of sense of humour and to see her jokingly tell my son something really funny cracked me up.

17) Having seen how tight my sis and my son when they are together is a very warm feeling.. funny how they both teased each other and playfully do those silly little things are really great moments to cherish.. and my son he is suuuuuuuuuuuuch a drama queen....

18) I am fired from my job and my last day is next Wednesday.

19) 1st my landlady wanted to take back the unit where i stay for major renovation then changes her mind and instead do smaller repairs so i can continue to live comfortably in this house. The most heartwarming part, she called me a friend / a daugther.

20) I am lucky to meet many good ppl over some bad eggs. they are, in their own individual ways, helped me to gather myself and shout 'coming through'.

21) my darling got married in Singapore!!

22) My sis got a promotion and is now in Singapore with new environment and new challenges


The Bad


1) My health had worsen but it is okie, i can still manage it until Nov when it reached to it's peak (in terms of how bad it is)

2) My hospitalization bill i claimed using Prudential due to lack of cash and I can't claim from the bloody company

3) Met some rotten ppl behaving like princesses and do not understand what is the full meaning of friendship and semangat bergotong royong but as they say good eggs bad eggs, eggs are everywhere.. LOL

4) My uncle (My 1st aunt's husband) passed away due to lung cancer and to see my son so saddened by the fact. Thank god my boy understands a little of the concept of life and death. This uncle of mine, he is really a fantastic man, as long as i can remember ever since i was a child, he has always been cheery and all my other extended family members do like him alot. I guess god loves him more and his work is done on this earth

5) some unfortunate squabbling with sister and having to hear her insult my mother too.. it was painful for me not only because my mom was cuss but also makes me wonder how can a person achieve happiness by being so angry..

6) My good colleague left the company and work life has been unbearable since

7) Being hassled and somewhat harassed and insulted by my ex husband & some of his family. The hard part is to hear it from my mom. Don't know why some ppl just can't go straight and do what they say and say what they meant.

8) My ex husband finally wanted a proper divorce (he wants to remarry) after no show twice in 2002 at the lawyers office. after agreeing to both his and my T & C, he went and go back on his words.. hence no. 7 happened.

9) Ppl still will blame the women when anything happened, except the good happenings.

10) My weight playing see-saw between 71 - 73 and went down to 69 then 68 to me swelling again and currently at 70.5.. LOL

11) Still so many bigots and so many extremist who really doesn't know what is humanity, what is facts, what is empathy, understanding, love and what being human is all about..

12) still seeing ppl repackaged and market passion, lust, obsession and infatuation, butterfly as love..

13) Have an extremely rotten egg for a housemate (she came in with the new good housemate) who is a cheater, a manipulator and also a conwoman who has conned many ppl that i've met. So i am fortunate the maker does love me and the things she did to me, she had to repay it :P

14) Lost all 3 of my housemates due to 1st attempt of landlady trying to get the house back for reno..

15) 1 of my housemate had to leave because there is an unfortunate incident happening at home and she has to be there with her family

16) I couldn't attend my darling's ROM due to the stupid immigration whose machine is unable to read my Mykad (maybank could, goodness, the gov should invest in better equipments) and the 2nd time, they didn't open and didn't declare it in their bloody website.. inefficient betul!


The Ugly

1) Politicking happening in office due to scheming beings...

2) My boss also participated in it

3) Having known me as a temperature sensitive person, turned on full blast 5 air-conds from the initial 2-3 units and get me more and more sick.

4) politicking even harder to get rid of me from the office. Letters issued to me was intended to shame me and defamed me to get me to resign but I didn't budge because I was not in the wrong and i won't take it lying down :P

5) Some idiots who dunno the meaning of friendship and teamwork and semangat ber helping helping...

Let's hope for a better 2010.. I am still a person who, am too lazy to make a resolution because a lazy person will hardly see the resolution through.. HAHA!

Parenting & Exam 101

A must for me every workday morning (NO!! It's not breakfast >> I eat daily, no off days) is to read 'Views - The Star (shall we call it Letter to Editor?). Today 1 particular letter grabbed my attention : 'Parent's role in children's schoolwork' by James Nayagam...

His daughter has gotten a 'B' & didn't dare to show her exam result, after much persuasion from them only then she did. He prayed & thank god because Sarah passed her exam and was met by a hug from her. So he wrote in, encouraging parent's acceptance, understanding & love in their children's examination results. I thought to myself >> dreams are made of this :P

It reminds me of my own childhood....Where moms was most proud & bragging whenever their offspring has gotten 'As' and appear in the Top No so & so in class or school. Every year, my teacher's complain to my mom : Smart but too lazy, talked too much...

Ffwd to Secondary, I don't get as many 'As' but I gained way more knowledge which they couldn't grade but evidence, i.e. my report card begs to differ. So, the all time million dollar question by my beloved Mami :

M1 (Mami) : You are not stupid, why didn't you make the effort to score all As?
M2 (Me) : I know, A is not everything. I can't learn much in school with those systems!
M1 : You think you are so smart isn't it?
M2 : I learn & read a lot more than I do in school! (already a rebel cum smart ass)

The problem here is, whatever that came out from the teacher's mouth is like old story to me.. I have learned more & I meant way more since Standard 3 because my hobby is to collect unwanted books behind the libraries & take it home with me. The things that kept me in school was English, BM (both periods providing literature books to be read), Kemahiran Hidup, History, lab experiments during Science & PE.

I knew many straight A students & I meant many..some coupled with vast knowledge & EQ, survived but a lot of them, crashed & burn...BADLY!! They can't survive in the real world, the playgrounds created by other adults.. (I can't say I am in great shape but I am happy where I am).

Moral of the story is... 'As' might and the keyword IS *MIGHT* give you easier access to doors & maybe.. maybe to many doors but it is not everything. Many if not most of the most successful people in the world (I think you'd know a few) are without a decent piece of paper (except that piece of thing called cheque, their Datuk, Tan Sri, Tun-ship certificates) to show for it.

What I would like to see are parents nurturing the emotional & mental wellbeing of their children. The common courtesy, sensibility, sensitivity, compassion & empathy in their children must not be cast aside..

Too many bratty children with As (which doesn't equal them being smart but rather countless hours spent memorizing data) are occupying this world. I see them brawling, rolling, screaming, zooming, cutting, knocking, you name it they've done it brats when you are outside, sometimes inside your home. You can be proactive & change that! Kudos to James, I hope you continue to nurture your children & help them get to where they want to be.

Meanwhile I will wait for 10 more years to ask my son again if he still wants & could be a pilot :P

Salute!

Dinner with 3 : Manhattan Fish

I was crazily restless on Thurs and then I called up my besties and asked them out for dinner & a drink..

After much dilly dallying from my part - We finally came to conclusion with Manhattan Fish in Pyramid.

Our server was nice & the outlet manager (i think) Fadzil was very warm too..

I ordered Garlic Butter Mussel and it comes with either Bruschetta or was it actually a Baguette???

Moving on..

I also ordered a serving of Fried Country Mushroom and add ons of Fried Calamari & something else which I can't remember (It was 2 days ago~)

Triple 2 had a Cod fish with rice (which i can't remember the name as well) .. & agent 631 had a Caesar Salad.. minus the eggs (they ran out of stock) and then Fadzil up the irresistable offer of 10% discount from our ttl amount (so generous!)

I also had a clam chowder & there's a promo going on with soup + bottomless drinks @ 9.90. Both of my besties had corn soups. They are both delicious but i prefer saltier stuff that night.. so clams UP!

Then Fadzil also suprised us with another round of his generosity by serving us a free Fried Whitebait which is really nice.. has a look of small little prawns (not ha mai or he bi)

After our 10% discount as promised, our bill came up to a total of 91++ which is almost half of what we spent together in Bubba Gump..

VERDICT : Bubba Gump hands down over Manhattan Fish (Sorry Fadzil)

Then we proceed to Starbucks & were enjoying another round of chatting about sex (don't we always), about our personalities, about relationships, hair & make up & our disgust with *shriek* cockr....es!!

We can't help but noticed another table of 2 girls & a guy was staring at us even when we leave our table..Some ppl don't know how to stare politely...hahah!!

Maybe we were talking too loudly about sex..or about virginity..haha!! Gotta remind ourselves to talk softer...or maybe louder so they'd be too embarrased to look at all..hehehe!

I had a great time that night going loca with you 2 & thank you Triple 2 & Agent 631 for another wonderful outing.. always! Can't wait for another round..soon I hope!!

Reminder : Friendship

I was out for lunch yesterday with another bestie of mine.. setting was normal (Japanese food that we both love!!) We were talking and it became apparent that 1 thing can make or break a friendship..

What is it?? hmm...let's put it this way~

2 of my best friend..worried to death that I'll be thinking too many depressing thoughts decided to haul me out on Monday for lunch & other activities..keeping me busy, so to say. I asked 1 to not tell me what I should do because I am not in the right mind to do it & I rejected another's offer for lunch + outing & went out with another jimui of mine..

Needless to say, I have let my 2nd friend down that day because she has been keeping herself available for me & was a little disappointed that I didn't even ask her to join me & my jimui.

The moral of my story is.. HONESTY (you must be puzzled by now)

Despite my not so tactful rejections of my friends, my 2nd friend appreciated the fact that I honestly informed her that I am going out with someone else after rejecting her offer instead of creeping behind her back...

As we sat there eating & talking and reach a higher understanding of our morales & principals.. she tried expressing what she had felt on that particular moment and I try to explain in my best way so she understand what state of mind I was in and hence the rejection of her offers.. This is what a real friend is... they listen, they understand and they care!

Also, we have discovered that we might not fully know all our friends including our besties in & out but we love them anyways for what we know and what we accept..

Thank you 'triple 2' for coming out for lunch.... here's some mock questions that might come in handy when you doubt if any love exist at all...

Do you love your family?
Do you tell your friends the good, sweet, memorable stuff when it happened with your family?
Do you bitch when you felt hurt by your family?

If your answer is yes, no, yes.. you are only human..and being human you sometimes wanna be selfish and keep the good stuff with you because then you can take a piece of it each time & savour it..without sharing with anyone at all~

And that is what I did exactly with the memory of my baby....Thank you everyone for your love, strength & support!
