Annual Trip - Cameron Highland.

went to cameron highland last weekend with a bunch of friends. it's an annual thing that we do. thanks to Donald, we get to stay in a nice cosy big bungalow with a butler who cooks for us. (he works in HSBC and his company owns that place). the house is actually the highest house there. just a few hundred metres above the local Palace. we decided to leave KL as early as possible fearing of the possibly massive traffic jam since it's a long weekend due to Merdeka.

ah mun reached my place at about 5.45a.m to pick me up and reached at the meeting point, after toll, at about 6a.m. [oh.. this time, smelly didn't go cos he have to work. )=  ]

while waiting, a bit of cw (cam whoring).

uncle mun stocking up while pumping petrol.

an icy cold Nescafe to fresh up!

the first who arrive. ah loon and kenny.

after nescafe with a few puff of ciggi!

why deric and shirley so long!!?!

we took off at about 6.30a.m and reached Bidor at about 7.30 i think.. for breakfast!

clockwise: kenny, donald, ah loon.

hello Bidor!

while waiting..

super delicious yam "kok".

duck leg mee! (in this photo, it's duck wing). not as good as few years ago when we visited this place. 

after breakfast, we continue our journey to the highland at about 8.30.

ah loon paparazzi shot.

reaching soon.... well, soon is like.. another one hour.

cool breeze...

we reached there slightly before 10. luckily no jam and everyone was like.. speeding all the way..

lunch is not ready until 1pm so they decided to go for a few games of tennis.

there were more dishes but too hungry to wait for photo.

some of them went out for a walk and came back with a red banana!!

they call it "durian banana" i kept saying that it's durian. 

fooling around with the durian banana. huge huh.

took a short nap and woke up just in time for dinner!

auntie liew preparing our steamboat.

fresh prawns, squid and tofu.

  

steamboat. peks' favorite!

foo chuk was very delicious! chicken, pork, beef, crabmeat and meatballs is a must!

not forgetting fresh veges! this is my fav, "tong ou"

water crest vege. there are a total of 5 different veges for the night. so many choices!

after dinner, we just chill around.

we watched a few movies. kenny bought a few very old ghost movies. damn funny.

the next morning. so cold!

breakfast was served at 9am. too hungry so forgot to take picture. it's English breakfast.

getting ready for our photoshoot. theme was white top with jeans.

chilling after breakfast.

lunch!

braised pork knuckles! 

thai style fish

ah loon bought some very green fruit the night before at night market. it's called apple guava. uncle liew told us that it's actually guava dipped in green colored sugar. bad for health. very sweet green thing but tasteless white part, which is the guava.

after photoshoot, again, we watched some movies and some went out for drink while i took a nap until dinner.

bbq for dinner! chicken wings

best coleslaw!

must haves for bbq.

beef. 

super delicious!

everyone was too full cos it's full of meat. but we had dessert anyway...

after dinner was a few games of "chai mui". a bit drunk so deric, me and peks slept while the others continue with movie (again). the next morning after breakfast, we went home. 

really nothing much to do in cameron. very lazy and relaxing trip. the 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners plus accommodation costs us RM65 per person only. we round it up to RM70 (for tips). ttl! (tai tou lan!)

happy merdeka!

photoshoot photos coming up!

long weekend. new beginning.

Went buka puasa with a friend just now. Shock of my life when he told me that his 2nd elder brother passed away this year in Feb. car accident, with wife and 6 months baby in it. Wife suffered minor injuries. Baby sat at the backseat in mommy’s arm, got thrown over to the dashboard in front wasn’t hurt at all. Miracle still, but sadly the driver died on the spot due to internal injuries. I was really shocked when I heard this. Hope the wife and baby is strong.

So anyway, I’ll be starting work on the 1st Sept. wish me luck peeps. Hopefully everything will go well this time *fingers crossed*.

Cameron tomorrow!! But have to wake up at 5 cos uncle mun is coming to fetch me at 5.30am. fml.
Smelly is not going this time though. He’s tied up with work. Too bad.

things that i tend to forget.

maybe being jobless is a good thing. in a way. 

i started to think so much and i definitely have so much time for myself, doing things that i don't really get to do when i'm busy working.

looking back, there's a list of things that i procrastinated. since i'm on a short break, i decided to get it done.

1. mailing some parcels out. done.

2. cancel unit trust. by this week.

3. alter 2 jeans. by this week.

4. resume Japanese lesson that i've ditched after attending 3 lessons. who wanna join me? september class.

5. clean room. done.

6. clean wardrobe. lazy this weekend.

7. dirty laundry that piled up since a month ago. lazy this weekend.

ok. enough of things to keep me busy for the rest of this week.

oh.. i'm serious about Jap class. well, at least this time, i'm gonna make sure that i at least get a cert back! who wanna go with me? weekend class?

I'm 24...

…and jobless again. 

This year is a roller coaster ride for me. So many things happened and it scares me a little when things happened beyond my control.

At first, it feels really weird and fear was the first response to the series of (unfortunate) events that took place without a warning (well, sometimes with warning, just that I overlooked). But when I really thought about everything that happened, it reflects how my mind works. And how my bad habit affects (some) decisions that I’ve made.

I’ve never really regret doing things that I’ve done which leads to some problems that are unfavorable to me. What really make me sad are the things that people will do and say whenever I faced problems. And what actually people WILL do to benefit themselves. Seriously, some people will just do whatever it takes to get rid of something when they feel threaten with something they thought dangerous when the actual fact is, it meant no harm at all. And they harm others with their actions, knowingly or unknowingly, I digress. 

It makes me more careful of whatever I do or say when I deal with this kind of people. But even I take precaution steps; I still fall into their trap and became a victim of their evil doings. I’ll just take it as bad luck and go on with whatever left of me. Plus, I still believe in karma.

Perhaps these series of (unfortunate) events came haunting me due to the things that I’ve probably done (knowingly or unknowingly, I’m not sure myself) and I’m probably just paying the karma. I’m still considered lucky that nothing extremely bad happened to myself. To me, it’s really just a life lesson to learn. Lessons that I might get to tell my children in the future. Now I understand why mom always nags me. It’s always the same issues that she’s trying to let me know and always asks me to avoid. But being a teenager and a rebellious daughter, I’ve never really listen and took her advises for granted. I admit that I’m still taking her words for granted because it hasn’t really happened to me, yet, but I’ll try to, at all cost, to avoid whatever her prediction was. *fingers crossed*

So back to being jobless this time… so unpredictable and sudden that I almost broke down. But didn’t.

It’s really a long story and not many people agree with what actually happened. There are always two sides of the coin. 

Now, I’m back to the journey of looking for jobs and stressing on what to say in interviews, etc. I’ve always hated formal interviews. Especially the most asked question, “tell me about yourself”. Ugh. Hate that question cos I always found myself tongue-tied whenever I have to answer this question. But lucky for me that the last few jobs that I’ve got, I never had to answer it cos they never asks. Heh.

Ok, enough of rambling. I shall get back to job hunting. Wish me luck peeps!

Skype with mommy last night.

the first thing she asked was.. "have you noticed my new haircut?"

we should webcam more often.

oh.. shorty, if you're reading this, mom wants to skype with eva. this sunday?

reality bites.

i have so many things to write and bitch about. but i guess i'm over the "bitching" phase.

i'm quite amazed at myself sometimes. 

at my life.

nothing pretty my surprises me anymore at this very moment. i think i'll just take whatever it is given to me. 

i've learnt how to swallow it.

even if it's a chicken bone, i'll just swallow it.

happily. 

any donor?

can someone show me the way?

i'm very lost.

all this time, i've been searching and striving and searching... for something that i'm not sure of. something that is not there.

Sam (my very good ex boss) is right. i don't know what i'm searching for. 

now, i need to know what i'm looking for. i need time. a lot of it. but i'm afraid that i don't have the strength. 

okay.

i know i can do this. i can face this. yes. i can. 

but when?

Aunt Crystal's Birthday

went to aunt crystal's birthday dinner today at ampang waterfront restaurant. 

Aunt Crystal and her boyfriend, Uncle Siew.

same generation. except for the baby and the spec girl (cousin's daughter) sitting are both one generation after us. :P the one in red is my cousin's wife. they both come to KL for holiday. yes.. her daughther is 21. imagine how young my grandfather is when he married my gramma in china.. my cousin is almost the same age as my dad!!

nearest age cousins.

p/s: i don't know why the allignment of this post is so fucked up. stupid Opera.

can you do it?

fucking jam today. resulting me not going to work. 500metres took me half an hour! so idecided not to go to work today. not my fault ok... by the time i reach kl, which i estimate will take 2 hours, and be there for one hour and take me another 2 hours to go back. not worth wasting the time in the car. so i called Peks and we decided to go for Fish Head Meehoon at Kuchai. i reached earlier and ordered. while waiting, i just looked around and suddenly, i heard a sound.. "prettttt..." from the next table. sitting across me was a man and a lady who are enjoying their lunch. so i thought, i heard wrongly. then after about 5 minutes, i kebetulan facing the woman and i saw her tilting her butt a bit and a "pretttttt" sound came out. so CONFIRM the "prettt" sound i heard is from her!

can you imagine how disgusting is that? farting in public never mind.. somemore got sound. and her table is just next to mine! i can hear the fart so clearly!! AND the most disgusting thing is she's happily EATING and FARTING at the same fucking time!! damn no table manners loh... the man, i assume is her husband, didn't seem to notice it and eating normally!! then another 5 minutes, she did it again!!!! fucking smelly lor! somemore the wind is blowing to my direction! UGH! 

why got people like this one..

see? she sit so near me!
