The month of April...

What have I been doing in the month of April? Field trips, more field trips, and have been working on almost 3 saturdays of this month.... Gosh! Unbelievable that I managed to survive throughout all 3 of them! It is very tiring
though it only takes up mostly half of the day but it made me feel so exhausted..... not to mention that it is so hot these days. Think one can easily get heat stroke!

Although I've had to work on Saturdays, I did get some chance to enjoy some meet-ups wit my pals. Like the buffet at Umaiya- with free flow of beer! This is a shout-out to BEER-fans out
there!


Food was really yummy there too with quite a number of choices. Mmm... too bad that both Vicky and I were only able to survive the first round of order! I would definitely make sure that there are more people coming along with us the next time...

Though this has been a busy month.. nevertheless birthdays are something that I look forward to celebrating though they may not agree as this is the start of the Number 3 to them! heehee..

Well, at least Ju Vee enjoyed his- as the WAhaa game was played! Haha... That was pretty hillarious!


As for Kai Reen, I had a great celebration with her as well at Rokaro (where else?). I do hope that she had an enjoyable one with everyone!!!

Oh not to forget that I should be very proud of myself for initiating a cookery meet-up at Vicky's! As that led on to the next gathering at Iris' and soon, we'll be having another at Kai Reen's... I do hope that we can have many more of these gatherings as a mean of us keeping each other in the loop of our happenings. If not, it can always be a form of pigging out for us! haha....


In the month of April, it has also been one of the month in a long time where I went through 3 nites of Happy hour in the same week! Haha.. have not done that in a long while. It can be pretty tiring but I think I should be proud of myself as I was able to control my alcahol intake! :p First night of the HH was at Kai Reen's bday, 2nd nite was at Wabisabi and the 3rd was at Laundry. It was fun as I am normally not a "kon lou" kind where I did not head home to freshen up but instead brought my face wipe and all to do it at the office after work before heading out to HH! haha....



LAst but not least....was really great to have met up with Ct on her suprise return back here! Though we've only managed to meet-up for once, I am pretty sure that all of us truly appreciated the time that we've had with her! Well, I do hope that she is now truly rejuvenated!

A series of unfortunate events....

One incident after another.. which is why i decided to call it a series of unfortunate incidents. As mentioned in my earlier blog, I met an uncle who showcased his pride openly. Still totally disgusted over it now. However, following that I had another incident where this bugger deliberately stopped his car right in front of mine just to grace Kristy and I with his idiotic face and his love of foreign language ( u get wat i mean?). What a bugger! I think that he realised we were gals in the car, therefore he cut short his language lesson and jumped back into his car. Of course, I gave him a piece of my mind too. :) Kristy on the other hand was just smiling at him. She told me later that it came to her as a shock and she didn't know how to react. Haha...

Well, I can't understand people these days. Just because they think they are MEN that they are able to do whatever that they want. What happened to all the courtesy and being nice to one another. Sheesh.. I guess all of it went down the drain! I think parents should be blamed for all the ill manners in our society these days!

As for today, I was involved in yet another bad luck as my car was rammed into by a bike. What are the odds of a car being slammed by a bike?!! Well, I had a dent in my car and the tyre was punctured whereas the biker only sustained minor pains after he fell headlog onto the ground after the collision. The cost of the accident? It's on me as the biker explained that he has no cash and as going through insurance claims may prove to be a hassle. Sigh...I do hope that these two weeks of bad luck will be enough to last me throughout the rest of the year. If not, perhaps I would have to pluck some pomelo leaves to wash off all the bad chi.. :)

Fruitful events..

Seminar/ Training/ Course..... it rhymes the same to me. Generally why do people attend such events is pretty obvious. It's either they are committed self-learners who generally wants to upgrade themselves with the latest information or gadgets available OR... they were gently encouraged by their respected superiors to gain more knowledge in order to provide better services to the company in future. How do you categorize the participants into the 2 different groups then? Well, I guess that it is never clear between both unless there is apparent resilient shown frm one. :)

For me, I was doubting my attendance at this morning's seminar as I thought that it was not in my line of work. However, I thought to myself that it may prove to be a good opportunity to know a lil' more of what Jolly Phonics is about (after some gentle encouragements.. hehe! :p). Well, it was alright as the songs and actions took my mind of boredomland. I guess it all depends again on the materials used as well as the instructor. Anyways, I guess I gained some extra insight on the subject. Perhaps can even try it out on lil' Tristan and Jarell. Hmm... if I can still remember it as the old teachings in my ex co has been instilled in me for the past 4 years.

The most memorable event of the day, I'm yet to tell you! I happened to have the experience of my life during my lunch. Who would guess a quiet and homely cafe like Liana's had such a suprise in store for me! In short, I had the previllege of witnessing nudity in public! Hehe.. Well, not nudity as a whole but partially. This idiotic man - a 40 +yr old malay man with glasses (who was reading the newspapers by the way) sat himself at the table in front of us and displayed his "JoY and PrIdE" to innocent patrons like ME! It was pure disgust as I had just finished my meal ( and mind you - I had Fried sausages!) Gosh , I felt like vomiting even after I left the place. I guess deep in his heart, he was PROUD to have people like me spotting it!!! YUCK!!! The funniest thing was that Juvee said I should have told the waitress that there is an uncooked sausage left in the open! Yeeww....


What a day it has been.... I do hope that I do not get a sore eye tomorrow. If not, I will definitely give him a double curse!!!

Eyes wide open....

Here I am wide and awake at 1am. Perhaps I slept a lil’ too early yesterday. Therefore, I have resolved to start a blog. Let’s see what I have done in the month of March…

Work, Sunway Widlife Zoo, Driving range, Bamboo9, Wedding dinner, Petaling street, Cupcake makings, Meet-ups, St. Patrick’s Day…

Hehe.. what a LOT of things to do /places visited during this month ay? Who am I kidding?!! Sigh… not much contribution to da SoUl these days. Am actually searching for some other new activities to do. I have thought of fishing as Edmund is going this weekend? But come to think of it, I’ll most probably puke all over the boat after 5 mins of departure! Haha… Then again I have a charity event to go to- Disney On Ice on the same day which by the way I am encouraged to help out at the beginning.. Sheesh! But oh wells, it’s all in the name of charity. SO, on to the next activity…

Joining a gym? SOooooo many people have asked me to join or try out using the visitor passes. However, I have this negativity towards gym as I think that only beautiful bods visit the place so to show off their already perfect shapes! Hehe.. And that would make people like me, SOooo demotivated! Sobs… It’s not easy going to a gym as the right clothes has to be worn there. I never really understood how people can be comfortable with those lycra pants and tops. Well unless of course, they are the body- beautiful people that I have just mentioned. In that case, I daresay they’ll look good in anything even old rags! Sounds a good enough reason to abort the gym mission? Okay, on top of that, it will be that I am not a motivated person who will head to the gym consistently. I barely even use the pool downstairs…!

Let’s see what else… Urm..Perhaps I should highlight a few things that I’ve been meaning to try but did not get my arse on it right away.

Volunteering at PAWS/ SPCA, at Orphanages….

Somehow I have not gotten around to do the above mentioned activities. Perhaps it’s the huge emotional feeling which may occur once I start on it ( Spca/ Paws/ Orphanages). I guess it’s a norm for us human beings. We may not start something in fear of the lack of confidence that we have and the uncertainty / doubt as to how we may react to certain matter if we were to really do it. A good or bad habit? Well, depends on individuals. Some may view it as acceptable as we must always protect ourselves but some may think of it as selfishness.

I guess that I would have to make a choice of activity which can fulfill myself thoroughly…. ( mentally)

???

Wat have I been doing so far? Work and practising my golf at the range. Life's pretty boring at the moment. I do think it's apparent in the missing blogs since January. :)

I do wonder...what would I find interesting now.... ?

Gatherings....

How do we keep in touch with our ex-colleaugues over the time? Phone calls, emails, smses and via the latest and hippest site- FACEBOOK! Hehe.... Well, that was how my ex-colleaugues and I use previously to keep us updated on each other's happenings but something happened a few months back.... We decided to get-together for a Christmas dinner at Nero Vivo and we all had a joyous time! It then had all of us anticipating for the next meet-up!

Well, our second gathering took place last Saturday. It was kind of dear Kai Ting to provide us with our venue as we had a BBQ at her Condo. Thanks Kai Ting! The proud organizers were EE and we trusted her with all our heart when it came to the preparation of our FOOD! Of course, a big thanks to dear Lina as well who provided us with yummy sambal pari(so nice of her mummy) and her BBQ pits. She was our Xmas dinner organizer and yet for this- she has offered her help in so many ways. From helping EE in the collection of money to the ingredients for the BBQ. The 3 of them have truly done a lot for our FAttY BBQ gathering! Big hugsies to them...

As for us, we anticipated for that BIG FAT day! Only able to salivanate over the variety of food mentioned in our FB thread. I guess that was fattening enough already! haha.. There were some of us who contributed into the pool of food. Reese with her Secret Recipe Cake, Kai Ting n Pasta, Kristy with Corn and Garlic Bread, Ayu and Chilli Sardine, Siti and Brownies, me with salad and acar... Ok, I think mine was the simplest! hehe... Well, that's because I am not much of a cook though I do love cooking! Contradicting right?! :) Anyway as for the rest of the dishes, they were all prepared by our thumbelicious chefs- EE n Zulfa! Lucky for us gals, we had the help of a couple chefs as well to BBQ our food. I tried to help Ju vee and Jaryd but the fire was just to KING! I think my expression was clearly shown in a picture taken by Kristy who was just busy laughing at me!!! hehe... Just take a look at the the food......

At the end of the night, we or rather I have developed this sudden bloatedness of the stomach (not that it was not swollen b4 that! hehe) but then we were really stuffed to the brim but our Lina has yet to stuff us with Tortilla Chips and Salsa Dips! Gosh... and baby Monica was there to ensure that we were properly FED! She's just so adorable! haha...think Reese's sis was too full to take in anymore therefore diverted Monica's attention to me... Poor me-stomach! If you know "Chu Pak Kai", you would know what I mean! Haha... Picture this- with bulging tummies, we had to then clean up the place and of course- bungkus the rest of the food because we simply couldn't stuff in anymore, not even a tiny morsel of food into our tiny mouth! All that we could do was to present the Bday gals with their pressies and to take pictures with our star attraction:- CD La Turtle! hehe....

Well, at least we managed to "squeeze" in some exercise. Why do I say "squeeze"?! I'll let you know in private if you wish to know further! Hehe... All and all, we had a great time just eating, chatting and of course snapping away at each other with our cameras. We had the pleasure of having some new companies- Joanne, Kenneth, Zulfar, Naim, Ju Vee. And of course, we definitely miss some of our members who were not present that night. We hope that Farah, Moira and Jessica will be able to join us the next round as the "baton" has already been passed to Siti and Ayu. Let's see what awaits us the next round... More Food???

P/s: It's time to diet till the next time we meet again... Adios Fats!

Yearly Resolutions...

Am here at the office , havin some quiet time during lunch hour as everyone's out. Wondering why I'm here alone? Well, my lunch plan was interrupted. Therefore resolved to not goin out and havin some oat drink and biscuits instead! I guess this can also help me in going through with my new year's resolution.

As the same as every year before, my resolution has always been the same yet not achieved! It takes more than just the talk as I got to 'walk the talk'... It is really not as easy as it seems as we come up with a long list of resolutions. It is so easy for everyone to ask one another what their resolutions are. Easier ones like drinking more water, taking less sweets, smiling more are achievable. Imagine following your long list of eating less, exercising more, being more optimistic, earning more! Wow..that can be a bit taxing! And especially that now Chinese New Year is around the corner. Who can resist the extra Bakwa or pineapple cookie?! Hee hee..


Coming back to my new year resolution, I think I shall still have my prepared list in hand but then to just tick whatever I can achieve and not be too hard on myself.. Most importantly, TrYiNg is better than CrYiNg..... :)
