Setting Examples?

Was driving back the other day along Jalan Ampang, a quick glance on my side mirror I saw a motorbike with a man in white shirt and pants holding a the bike handle with his right hand while his left hand is holding something. As he ride nearer, his left hand is apparently holding a handphone. Sms-ing to be exact. A traffic police officer to be exact. A thought came to my mind, aren't drivers (be it a motorbike or car driver) not allowed to sms when you are driving? I know there is a hefty fine for those who got caught sms-ing while driving. Wonder if he will be fined too??
Yeah, I should have took the picture and sent it to The Star newspaper and won a RM 50 prize but I'm just too slow in catching him in the act!

Another incident happened last night when I was driving back home. I was stuck in a traffic jam along the beginning of Jalan Tun Razak just after Sungai Besi, then I saw a police car driving past me on my left hand side and suddenly stop by the road side with the 2 hazzle lights on. As everyone knows, Jalan Tun Razak near that stretch is a super busy road and is always jam up whether day or night. I thought may be the police car wanted to stop a private car cos coincidentally a car drove into the lane in front of the shops and stopped. But no cos a policeman actually came down and walk towards the shop which is a bank. I thought may be he wanna sign the log book of the bank but no, he's actually there to use the atm machine.

Weird as in, they are the enforcement officers but yet they are the ones who never practice what our government preached. Using a phone while driving is wrong in the first scenario and I should think policeman or not, he should be fined just like anyone of us. Going to an atm machine is not a fault but stopping on a very busy road and causing more jam is something not thoughtful for a policeman. The radio stations always asked us to do our part for our community ie not to use handphone while driving, not to be a creative parker etc but isn't it ironic that the law enforcers are not setting a good examples?

Weird Dream

Had another weird dream last night.

Was in a some sort of resort kinda place except it's a very small place and the place is kinda breezy and cooling. There were a bunch of us, girls and boys. A pregnant friend of mine was in there too with her big tummy. Can't remember how we ended up in that place. It looks like a room to me. I think we were stuck there or maybe not. Or maybe we were resting.

In the dream, everyone was very concern about the pregnant lady. She's after all with a big tummy and in a t-shirt and a short. Can't remember the whole dream but bits and parcels of the dream. Eventually there's this guy and his partner suggested we continue our journey. I think we were in some kinda hike or adventure journey.

The last part of the dream is everyone is with a backpack and one by one we got out of the room and walk. Don't know to where. It's a sloping road. The road is in good condition but not a tar road. More like a cement like kinda road. The one you will find in basement carpark except we are not in basement. Both sides of the road is like jungle or so I thought. I remember before we got out of the room, everyone is asking whether the pregnant lady wear enough clothes or not cos it seems like outside is colder. Oh yeah, outside is misty too. The pregnant lady said she's ok and put on a jacket and carry her backpack and walk out with us. I don't remember how, but suddenly we were all caught in a very heavy downpour. The water coming down from the sloping road is like a waterfall making it harder for us to continue walking. And that is when I am awaken by my neighbour's on going renovation.

Indeed a very weird dream. Any definition?

Simple Dinner

Another tiring day for me.

Just finish cooking and eating my dinner. These days I tend to cook a lot. Am in the mood to cook today. After all, I'm tired of eating outside.

I did some simple Chinese dishes today. 2 dishes and 1 soup. A pig stomach soup which I've boiled since morning. Mom got 2 pig stomach cleaned and frozen in the fridge and since she's not free to cook, I shall take over and be the part time chef ;)

For the dish, I prepared a tofu with minced pork and oyster mushroom and a steam sotong.

For tofu, I first fry the chopped garlic till golden before putting in the minced pork. Add seasoning (a little bit of pepper, soy sauce and oyster sauce will do). Stir fried it till it's almost cook. Throw in the oyster mushroom and stir a bit. Let it simmer. Add a little bit of water for some extra gravy (which I love) Lastly, put in the tofu and stir a bit. It's ready for serving.

The sotong is the simpler dish. Cut the sotong and place it in a steam-able plate. Place some shredded ginger and chili on top of it. Mix the seasoning and pour it over the sotong. Steam for 5 minutes and it's ready to eat.

Simple yet delicious, yum yum.
Forget to take some photos of it. Was too hungry just now to even remember about photos hehe.

verdict : I had 2 bowls of rice which is quite rare for me, knowing that I only take half bowl or 1 tablespoon of rice hehehe

Home Made Macaroni Soup

Due to the recent fuel price hike, I tend to cook at home a lot these days. Gotta find ways to cut cost and save some money else all my traveling plans will go down the drain.

Since I'm still not fully recover so I decided to make myself a macaroni soup with whatever ingredients that I can find in my fridge hehe

Dig through my fridge and I found some frozen fish balls and minced pork and ikan bilis cube essense. And there's also the left over prawns from my birthday dinner last Sun. Enough for a pot of macaroni soup for one .. or more hehe

First of all, I de-frost the fish balls and minced pork. Soak them (together with the container) in water. Put on a pot of water to cook my macaroni. Once water is boiled, put in macaroni, add a little bit oil and salt. Stir the macaroni once in awhile to make sure they don't stick together (that's is the purpose of the oil). Once it's cook to my preference, drain the macaroni and set it aside.

On the other hand, put another pot of water to boil. When it's boiled, throw in the ikan bilis cube and stir till it dissolve. Oh, my minced pork has not fully de-froze so I throw it into the microwave for a minute. Once it's fully de-froze, put a little bit of pepper and soy sauce to the minced pork and mix it. Then shape the minced pork into small portion and put into the pot together with the fish ball. Lastly, put in the left over prawns and let it boil. That is the soup for macaroni.

There, my lunch is ready. I gotta say, it's really nice. I had 2 bowls of it! And it's all done in less than 20mins.

Verdict: Am fully satisfied with my lunch ;)

Lost Cheque (re-post)

Yet another angry situation I faced.

Recently I setup a company account with a C*** Bank and guess what, for the first ever time that I bank in my cheque for clearance and until today it's has not been cleared. Two days after I bank-in the cheque, I check my current account and found no clearance on the cheque which I had bank-in. Okay, maybe it has not been cleared. But after another 2 days, my cheque is still NOT cleared! Can't be, I told myself. Called up the bank to check and they can not even find where my cheque is. Met up with the bank's branch manager and he said he will help me to check it out. But still nothing came back. I have check with my client and there is no problem with his cheque. Don't think my client would risk being penalized for a bounce cheque. He is a businessman afterall.

I complained to Bank Negara and even went to meet up Bank Negara people. They told me that they are in the process of changing the 'clearing cheque' system or what ever it is. Apparently all the other banks have no complication going through this change BUT the only one bank which has problem is ... yes, that's the bank which I have open my company account with. Sigh. Bank Negara said to give them some time to sort things out. Fine, I relented and wait.

Come today, which is one week already, I have yet to receive ANY news from the Bank regarding my cheque. It is so disappointing and frustrating NOT to mention worrying cause it's quite an amount. Even if the amount is as little as RM 50, I don't think there is a reason for me to go through this, right?

So, I have decided to write in to the bank and request for a explanation regarding my 'lost' cheque. At the same time, I am wondering if I can seek legal advice on any actions which I can take against the bank and compensation on my part? Such trouble for me to go through and not forgetting wasting of my precious time. Time which I can use to get a few more projects in.

What is meant by sense of securities? (re-post)

Was discussing this topic with a friend so I thought it would be an interesting subject to blog.

What is meant by sense of securities?

Most girls will usually ask the guys (esp bf/hubby) for sense of securities (I'm sure u guys have heard of it plenty of times) but what is meant by sense of securities? It's perfectly normal for girls or guys these days to relate sense of securities with material sense ie whether he got all 5Cs, whether he can buy u expensive clothes or food, treat u to holidays with all expenses paid, etc etc

But did anyone ever thought beside the material wise can the sense of securities comes from the guy giving u his full trust? his full protection in what ever circumstances? his full attention to your every needs? his time? his faith in you? etc (things that u can't buy with money)

I was once slammed by this question and like most girls I said the material things but then I was asked again, "what about sense of securities in term of non material wise?" so that got me thinking for quite awhile

What do u think ?

Sleepless in ............. (re-post)

It's been a while since I last had a good night sleep. By means of good night sleeps; a deep sleep without having any sort of dreams. This situation have been for almost a month now and I have yet to find a good solution to my deep sleep. Though I did had one night of deep sleep after a drinking session with my friends. But that is not gonna cure me cos if I continue to use alcohol to knock myself out eventually I will be dependant to it and become an alcoholic. Not a good idea. Wanted to try sleeping pills, don't think it's a good idea too.

The sleeps that I had lately is full of dreams (not sweet dreams) but weird dreams. Most of the dreams I don't remember, some of it I have vivid memories. One dream that I remember is that it happened to my bf and he has got some kinda infection on his leg. When I woke up I ask him if there is any insect bite on his leg or what so ever but he said non. Eventually a few days later he does have an infection, only at a different place of his body and less severe compare to what I have dreamt. De ja vu? No idea.

On occasion, I might have insomnia whereby I can't sleep at night even though my body and eyes are tired. I will stay awake till 2-3am before dozing off and will be hyperactive the next day. Eventually I will be super tired the day after and will doze off as soon as I lay my head on the pillow only to have all the dreams again. Yet another sleepless night. It happened again last night, I can't sleep till about 3-4am (can't remember) and eventually doze off only to be awaken by my alarm at 9am cos I have to go do marketing this morning. Sigh, now I am like a zombie, trying to get myself tired out and so I have a good night sleep. Hopefully. But what makes me like this?? Any idea?

Friends told me it might due to work stress and problems in my life which I don't realised but my sub-conscious is somehow thinking about it even when I am asleep. I have been thinking, what problems and stress do I have? Problems and stress at works is pretty normal these days looking at how competitive and tough my industry is. I don't think I have problems with my personal life. Everything is still like a bed of roses with my bf (agree Mr. Tan?) and it's perfectly calm at home with no issues at all. Monetary problems; not really a big problem as I have been controlling my budget so I get to have a big vacation end of the year which everyone knows. The only thing that I can think of that makes me sleepless will be my work. But then again, I'm managing it all right and everything so far seems to be alright. Maybe I worried too much. Over worried? What is happening to me?

Experience climbing Mount Kinabalu (re-post)

I've booked the air tickets a year ago to go KK for mount climbing. As the day draw nearer, the feeling of going up the mount makes me scare cos i did not fully train myself. Only manage to jog and walk hill for a week and that's all. The day i fly to KK. Surprisingly i cant sleep the night before, dunno if it's cos im too excited or cos im too scared that i might not bring enough for this trip. My backpack is already super heavy and full and yet i did not bring 7 days clothes. Wonder what is taking all the space??? Finally slept at 2am and when my sleep is at the deepest my alarm went off and ive gotta get up n get ready to go. 10mins after i woke up i receive my friend's call saying they will be picking me up in 15mins. Panic cos i still blur blur and not yet fully packed!!
A quick 15mins later, im in the car and on my way to airport. But before that we drop by at Sepang F1 Circuit early Fri morning. We reach airport with enough time for us to grab a Mc D breakfast and after that off we go on board. While waiting for the flight to take off, come the captain of the airplane announcing a slight problem with the brake system of the plan and need a 20 mins time to check and rectify it. So yeah, we got delayed abt half hr before taking off. Half way in the middle of the sky suddenly i thought of my lil keys for my lock which I've used to lock my backpack. I cant recall where i keep those tiny lil keys!!!!! gosh, was I anxious through out the journey but i manage to keep it out of my mind by reading. When i reach KK airport i ransack my sling bag over and over again to find the lil keys but they are no where to be found. Panic attack round 2! How am i suppose to get all my stuffs out fr my backpack!!?!!?!?!? I even asked my friend to double check my only sling bag which i took on board but yet the keys cant be found. No choice, gotta find locksmith or a big plyer to cut the lock.
All the way to KK park, my mind is thinking on how to get the lock open and where did my lil keys goes. gosh, im so blur. Luckily someone in my group has got a handy plyer and he eventually become my saviour. He helped me cut the mini lock so i can access my clothes or else Im gonna be very pityful hehehe. And I became the ms. forgetful in the group :P Everyone rest early that night ( I did, at least) but cant sleep too well. Dont know if it's because of the chalet which give me a spooky feeling or it's all in my head but somehow i manage to doze off only to be awake later in the wee hour for toilet going. Due to the spooky feeling in me, I tried very hard to withstand the urge but somehow I just need to release myself and I make a quick dash into the toilet, all the time I say my prayers in my mind. I guess it help calm me down and help me doze off too. Got a few more hrs sleep before everyone is awake for our hike up mount kinabalu.

Majority of us chosen to use the Mesilau trail during our voting session and in the end everyone goes for Mesilau trail as there's more flora to be seen. True enough. After a group picture, everyone is set to start our hike. We started at 9.30am. As we go along, some stop for a break some continue walking. The group starts to break into smaller groups. I eventually walk with 2 of my friends. My 'partner' has left me and walk with other friends hehe. When we saw the 1KM sign, we were so happy and excited and took pictures. Then continue hiking, 2KM sign came in. Took pictures again. All along the way, there's a lot of nice huge rainforest trees. It's an offence to pick or even pluck from the tree. If caught, will be penalise RM 50k. Come 3KM sign, yaay! we managed 3KM so far. Every stop we took we ate up all of lunch boxes and whatever energy bars that we brought along as it's heavy on our shoulder. Indeed this is a more to greeneries trail where we saw 2 waterfalls and alot of nice bonzai as we go further up the mountain.

I don't know when I started to walk alone (probably 5KM as shown in pic) It's always either I walk ahead of my friends or behind them but eventually I managed to catch up. This time I was walking behind them and I totally lost them. My friends were carrying my bag which contain all the food and drinking water etc. It didnt bother me the fact that I'm walking alone cos I have my MP3 player stuck to my ears and I just take my own pace to walk the trail myself. When I reach 1 of the stops, one of the potter whom we saw earlier pass me a bottle of water, telling me that my friends left it for me. Lucky me cos before I lost them I manage to chuck 2 energy bars into my pocket so I can fend hunger attack. The more I walk the harder it is. The trail has become rockier and harder to walk. It's no more walking trail. It's all rock where sometime u might need to climb a little. Finally I saw where the 2 trails meet, I know it wont be long before I reach Laban Rata. So I'm more determine to continue my hike even though Im super tired and my legs arent mine anymore. When I saw the 6KM sign, Im excited cos it's means Im only 2KM or so away only. But my legs doesnt felt that way. My legs is not obeying my command and worse still the skies is getting dark and it is also raining at the moment. Imagine me in my long sleeve top with my wool sweater and a rain coat cum wind breaker walking alone, my hands are numb and freezing. I got no choice but to continue my hike. The thing that worry me a lot is the darkness as I dont have my lights with me. It's in the bag. So, I hurried up and try to catch up a few Singaporean guys who's slightly ahead of me. Even though I'm breathless and tired, I just mustered enough voice to call out for them to wait for me. Luckily they heard my call and willing to wait for me, thus we walk together. One of the guys actually had cramps thus he's also having difficulty walking. Together we move in a group of 4. They are really a nice bunch cos they keep on giving me encouragement and letting me take my time to rest even though it's getting darker and darker.

Boy, was I sad when I saw the sign 4.5KM cos I remember I already walk pass the 6KM sign. Eventually the 4.5KM sign is for people who uses the other trail. At 5.5KM, one of my guide who also serve as my potter (a person who help us to take our bags up to Laban Rata for a fee; my bag is 8kg) saw me and am surprised to find me there. He is also another nice guy cos he held my arm and keeps on pulling me and helping me all the way up. As my hand is freezing and turn numb, one of the Singaporean guys gave me his hand gloves to keep my hands warm. I really am very thankful for his kindness. Thank you, Lee Tong.

When I finally saw the light of a hut like place I'm so happy and try all my best to reach there only to be disappointed cos that is merely a guard house or some sort. The restaurant/cafe where I am suppose to go is another 200-300m up. The feeling at that time is like, I wanna kill people cos I am so freaking tired. No choice but to hike up to where all my friends are with the help of my guide. I reached there at 8pm and everyone is clapping their hands to give me encouragement for reaching there safely. I almost colapsed not cos of hunger but cos of tiredness especially my legs. No strenght and it's soooooo cold outside. All my friends who saw me quickly help me sit down and bring me hot water to warm my hands which has turn white and is totally numb. I cant even feel what I touch. I am not the last to reach, there's another 6 person who have not arrived. While I have my dinner, everyone went back to the dorm to sleep cos we need to be up by 2am for our climb to the peak. I was alone again having my dinner and when I saw the Singapore guys I join them again for dinner. At 9pm, 1 of the guide told me to go back and rest and not wait for the rest as my dorm is another 200m up from the cafe. I almost wanna faint when I heard the news. Another 200m up??? Sigh. No choice but to pack my stuffs and hike up and this time I saw my friends who are late. 4 of them finally reached at 9pm. Together we went up to our dorm. The dorm look very run down to me. As I have not been a backpacker thus Ive no idea how bad a dorm can be. This is one dorm which I would not wanna stay in again. The saddest thing is, by 9pm the water heater is turn off. I had to take my shower in cold icy water. Did not really shower, just wipe with wet cloth. Washing my face with icy water is really an experience. It's so darn cold that it kinda have a needle poking feeling when the water hit your face. Quickly I wash up and brush up my teeth and head to my bed. I wore a long john, a long sleeve top with long sleeve bottom, a sweater, a hand gloves, a knit wear head hat and socks and slide myself into the sleeping bag before covering myself with another 2 blankets. That's how cold it is.

I did not get to the peak. Sad. Did not sleep well that night and had backache, neck ache and headache. Had to put on counter pain before continuing to sleep. Woke up the next morning feeling somewhat fresh and a little regret for not going up the peak. After all the hardship I've been through to reach Laban Rata. Sigh.

Everyone took some pictures of the peak (since we did not manage to reach there my as well capture some picture for memories sake) before going for our breakfast. Everyone is still talking about how each of us manage to hike up previous night and catching up on the last 6 person who came in late. After breakfast, everyone continue our journey down the mountain. This time we are using another trail to go down. The Timpohon Trail. It's has got a lot of steps and it is like walking down the stairs. Look easier than done. Walking down the steps is not as easy as like walking down the staircase as some of the steps are wide apart and slippery and our legs is not helping either as some of us are having joint pain. Still we brave the steps down eager to reach the bottom to go to our hotel for a nice rest. Stepping down is so much faster and easier. Some of them actually run all the way which hopping down the steps. And he is one of them who went up the peak. Yes, they manage to catch up with us who start our descending journey first. Half way through, my knee joint starts to feel pain. Like they said, don't think it's pain and continue walking. That is exactly what I did. I'm the 6th person to reach the Gate. Boy, am I so relieved that I don't have to endure what I have been through the other night. Took me about 4hrs to reach the Gate. Had a group picture with all our tired faces but everyone show the thumb sign indicating that it is indeed a good climb!

When the last person finally arrived, we took our stuffs and went into the van which will bring us into town. That's when I realised I lost my handphone! My 2 month old handphone. Sigh. Darn unlucky me. Went back to the place to search but no luck and I think someone took it already. So again, I'm the ms unlucky after the first bad luck. Sigh. Luckily nothing else went missing or any misfortune happened on me throughout the week I was there. Managed to have fun water rafting and island hoping in KK. And oh yeah!, loads of beer session for us, every night non fail. Overall, it is not too bad a trip. Came back KL in one piece and skinnier (that's what everyone said abt me) and tanned.

Just Not My Day (re-post)

It's one of those days where u get up at the wrong side of the bed (that's what i think). Why?

Finally i understand why the chinese saying 'ho yan nan cho' (in cantonese) I find it dead true. I guess being someone good will always be taken for granted and worse being mistaken for something which i'm not. Im sure everyone had have such a feeling at least once in your life time. The time when u give advices to your friends when u meant well. But ended up being mistaken for not supportive, giving them a hard time, adding problems to their already complicated lives, not blessing whatever that they are doing, not telling them the truth, yada yada yada and the list goes on.

Gosh, i think i've had enough of all these craps. My close friends told me to try not to be too good a person before. Now i know what they meant by this. Cos eventually the one being hurt, the one being fooled, the one being blamed, the one being said is non other than YOURSELF. So much so for being a good person ya!

Gee, wonder why should I even continue being good to those who doesnt even know how to appreciate???

Gloomy Monday (re-post)

Gloomy day always bring gloomy news. Wake up in the morning and it's all dark and rainy outside. What a nice day to sleep in, I thought. After rolling for another few mins, I'm awake and even had my pre breakfast hehehehe ...

Back to my work, I thought. And this is when bad news come rolling in one by one. First one, an uncle of a good friend is gonna pass away.... second later my other good friend told me that her dad have got lung cancer and is in critical condition. She's torn between the family and her being in the State with some sticky situation. One part of her wanna come home to see her dad and the other part of her have to be there to get the money for his dad's medical fees. I feel sad for her. Ive asked her to come back numerous time and stop suffering in the State. If after a few years still cant get what ever that u want, then I think it's time to come back for good. Not as if u cant earn a living in M'sia, just it's in different currency.

I know she will be reading this too but i still wanna continue my blog. I personally think she should come back for good and stop all her suffering in the State. It's not worth it. Yes, a lot of people wanna go there but don't have the chance BUT it doesn't mean all the people who go there can be able to make it big! She only have 1 dad in her entire life and he's almost at his death bed and I seriously think she should be back to be by his side during his last moments on earth. Or else she will be regret for the rest of your life and this will haunt u for life. Chances come and go, same goes with opportunities BUT regrets come and never will go away and it will haunt u.

Third and hopefully it's the last bad news im gonna received today. A situation came up at my site. Due to monsoon season at the east coast (i think) the entire car porch area (which is actually a basement sort of car porch) is flooded. Need to go down to Cherating to check out the situation and retify it before meeting my client. Sigh, it's only mid day and already 3 bad news. Pls stop cos it's a bit too much for a gloomy Tues.

Dreams and it's definition?? (re-post)

I've been having all sort of weird weird dreams lately. Not exactly lately but this yr alone I've had 3 shocking and scary dreams. One only happened last nite. I can barely remember the whole dream but i knw it somehow feels scary cos i was sweating and my heart beats really fast. There's bit n parcels here and there that i'm trying to connect back but i cant seems to remember.

The one i had last nite was abt ME. Ive no idea where the location is but I'm with my usual bunch of girlfriends (thank god!) Think we went on vacation and it looks like a haunted trip. Dont asked me why but the feelings is just creepy but the location or the hse or building which we were in is not creepy as it looks like. There's this parcel where by i was supposed to get something or meet someone on the top floor of the building and i have to take the lift. Now, the lift seems small and old and very unmaintained. The lift came and i walk in and press the floor that I wish to go to. It took me up, really slow with all those squeaking sounds as if it's gonna fall off anytime. I'm done with my task and i took back the lift down to my friends. But this time, the lift seems to be playing me cos it went from up to down and back up ... slowly. I remember seeing the light on the number on the lift panel. It always hover around the number '4'. Going up a few floors and passing the number and then back down passing that number too. I dunno what it meant. But somehow the lift stop and the door opens up. It was not exactly at the lift opening. The lift stop in between floors, the floor slab is 3/4 covering the opening. Lucky i saw my 2 friends and they were there trying to pull me up. Thank god they manage to pull me out after giving me alot of encouragement. I guess i was too shocked to move out of the lift. Once i'm pull out, the lift falls. Spooky huh?!

Another scene was quite funny cos we were at this long Q (I dont knw for what) Me and my friends and we were all cant wait to relieve ourselves. I guess that place have got no toilets. Ended up grabbing a plastic cup (those u can find in starbucks when u order take away cold drinks) and relieve in it! Funny and yuckky and embarassing too!

Gosh, the last parcel that i remember is we found the toilets but it's those portable toilets and it's super darn small and smelly. It's even too small for kids to go in. Ive no idea why there is such portable toilets and worse thing is we had to use it to relieve ourselves and ended up trying all kinda funny ways to just squeeze into that toilet.

Those 3 parcels were just one of the bad dreams i had last nite. The previous 2 is the worst ever dream that I've had so far. Why? Cos I dreamt of death.

My first nightmare, I dreamt the death of my beloved cousin and his sister. I dont knw how they died but the dream showed me they were sleeping in a coffin. It really wrecked my heart to see such scenario. I saw my aunt crying her heart out for her 2 beloved kids. It's really sad and disturbing.I just woke up after that.

The second nightmare? Even WORST. In this dream, I was in a crowded place which looks like a bus station cos there's a lot of long bench. There's really alot of people there sitting down waiting for some bus to take them away. In the midst of wondering where I am, I saw my 'uncles'. I was surprised why they are there. And they too surprised to see me. Eventually I found out that I'm actually dead cos only people who's dead will be at the place. Worse even is when I saw my mom. Yes, that's really scary and shocking. I asked them why are they there and they told me that they are involved in an accident whereby it's cause by some japanese riot. Dont ask me the reason cos i dont knw. Dreams are weird but the fact that I dreamt myself and my beloved mom and relatives dead, is even more weirder. That dream really scares the hell out of me. I woke up sweating and my heart is pounding very fast.

I never really speak out about these dreams to anyone, well ... only to a few close friend and couz of mine. She assured me that dreaming of death meant that the person is gonna be doing really good in his/her life. Well, I sure hope so cos I am one of the DEAD girl.

Superstitious or Stupidity? (Re-post)

Has it ever occured to you that sometimes people are just too superstitious or rather just plain stupid???? An incident recently trigger my writing mind to write this.

A so called cousin in law of mine (let's name him MR. S) jus had a new born baby, which is something to be happy about rite? BUT the fact is, this baby is born with clef lips and this Mr. S blamed it on bad feng shui of the family due to the recent relocation of the ancestors and the death of his father in law. This smart ass actually have got the guts to walk over to my aunt's place which is just across the road to scold/shouted at her!

How very rude! To disrespect an aunt of your wife???? Someone elder in the family?? This is plain rude. I totally understand that he is very upset that his baby girl has got a clef lips BUT u cant just blame it on the bad feng shui!!

I understand that recently his family is not in smooth sail BUT still I dont think that he should even raised up his voice toward this aunt of mine by saying 'forcing his father in law to death' kinda shit! My uncle passed away due to sickness and what has it gotta do with anyone forcing him to death!? Plain stupid??? Oh! and he wanna blame it on the relocation of the ancestors too ... and what has he gotta to with it when he's not even in the CHONG family!?!!? The relocation of the ancestors will only affect the feng shui of those in the CHONG family and so far everyone in the family (me included) is all healthy and in good hands. If there's bad feng shui due to the relocation, then it would probably cause a lot of misfortunes in my family too rite?! No one in the family is complaining abt the feng shui NOT even his mother in law so who is he to speak abt it??

I personally thinks he is a coward. Why? Cos he only dare to let out his grunts in front of my 2nd aunty. This is not a manly thing to do. If he has got the gut, speak to the man of the family ie my dad and my 2 uncles and even my 1st aunty (she the tai ka cheh in the family!) And he dare called himself educated people??? Nah ... 'over educated' i think .... sigh

Marriages n Weddings....( re-post)

Have it ever occur to you when is the best or most suitable age to get married??

For the past few weeks, I've been attending wedding dinners non stop, back to back, from KL to JB and back to KL, hehehe. Is it because we have reach the 'appropriate' age? or .... hmm maybe someone can help me fill that blank ;)

Attended one of my good friend's wedding last weekend in JB. It felt like only yesterday when we just knew each other, going on our adventurous jln jln cari makan trips up north and down south, attending her graduation, sharing all our non stop gossiping, etc etc ... and now she's married and settled down in JB. Though weddings are happy moments to share but in another way, it is sad to know that one of your good friends is no longer a stone throw away when u need a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. But nevertheless, the girls agreed to her man of choice, only thing is .... eerrr can we request for him to top up his ang pow money for the chi muis!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??! after all he's been given easy tasks ... hehehehe (kidding la !)

It's a nice trip though. It's been a long time since the bunch of us get to go on such fun trips. Really had loads of fun esp during the wedding event hehehe Cant wait to see the video and photos and not forgetting someone's 'fate'

My First Project (Re-post)

From a consultant turning into a contractor is NOT an easy job. Never had I imagine that being a contractor is such tedious job. As my dad decided to venture into design n build business recently, only did I realised how tough is it to be a contractor. Always in the position of a consultant, I saw things which are 'beautified' hehehe Playing 2 roles at 1 time is not easy I can assured you. I have to take into consideration my client's benefit and at the same time I've to be fair to the contractor and myself.

My first project, a single storey bungalow in Cherating. It had just kick start and there's so many issues to tackle which I have no ideas. The surveyor plans, the construction drawings, the details plans and many many more little things which I've no idea of. I cant even imagine how to even start the construction. At times I felt so stupid cos the contractors have to explain everything to me, what are the things that they required, how they do the setting of the building, how they have to plan out the whole construction plan, etc etc. Just like a little kid, I listen to him nodding my head. In my mind, I'm totally blank, don't know nothing about it. Slowly I digest all the informations that he gave me and slowly I start to understand and learn.

A lot of informations is not finalised thus the mess in construction. Thank goodness, the contractor is willing to explain everything to me so that I understand the whole situations or else there's more stress to come. Come to think about it, I know NOTHING at all about construction. Sigh. I've to learn from the very beginning, from scratch. But as a very positive person, I always look at the bright side. This might be my first project and this is also my learning ground. I'm definitely learning a lot of things from this project. I've confident, soon I can manage a whole project by myself (minor projects la hehehe)
