Doomsday 21 Dec 2012

I am sure most people of doomsday is predicted on 21 Dec 2012. At the beginning i felt it was so stupid prediction. Then out of curiousity,i googled bout it. There is one article written NASA scientist confirmed the doomsday. How can a doomsday be confirmed?

NASA scientist confirmed that the collision with something in the space will happen on 21 december 2012.. For a moment i really believed. I really believed and think what would i do if the doomsday is really on 21 dec, 6 days from now. I dont want to regret my life. NASA confirmed it. NASA is a believable source. How not to believe?

On saturday i googled again. This time straight to NASA website. I was so upset to know that 21 dec 2012 is not doom's day.... The collision was predicted decade ago, but nthg happen. It is new year for mayan after 21 dec 2012. So life still goes on.

How i wish the world will be over.... Soon

What I need is RM60

God does not give what you want, but He give what you need.

On one fine morning, no rain, no hot sunshine, the weather is just good enough.

Breeze of wind blowing through me, I am feeling good and feeling pretty, and sexy as well.

Suddenly a drop of water fell from the sky, raining?

Swap the water with my palm. Yuck! It is not transparent drop of water, it is whitish with yellow stuff. It is a drop of poo poo from the bird. Get a jackpot early morning. And no tissue in my bag. Grab any receipt paper from my bag to clean up my fringe. I don't want to go for breakfast with bird poo on my fringe.

Back to office, someone told me I should buy a lottery. But I don't know how to buy lottery, and too lazy to buy. Luckily I know someone selling underground lottery. I message the someone & bought the number which have been in my mind for the whole weekend.

Around 7pm, I get a message... toing toing... "you won RM60." so few yet it is enough to cover the lottery fee. I bought RM24 lottery, and I spent RM36 during last weekend. Total up is RM60. Ngam ngam. Just enough.

So you don't even think of asking me to give you a treat!

Putian sept 2012 -a

On 30 sept 2012 to 8 oct 2012, we went to Putian, China again. This time the group is composed of 12 person, including my parent, my bro, 3 pair of big uncles n aunties, 1 pair of younger uncle and auntie, old auntie gugu and I. I was in charge of them at airport. Deporting them from Malaysia to China. Hahaha sound like Malaysia gov's wish.

Fyi, i went with my parent there 2012 chinese new year. My grandpa came to Malaysia from Putian years ago by ship. The ship reached Sibu, Sarawak and that was how my hometown is Sibu. Our clan is HengHua, but in putian, Henghua people does not call themselves Henghua, they are Putian people. Seems like only older generation knows the term of Henghua.

So from kota kinabalu international airport, we flew to shenzhen. We chose shenzhen because my father's cousins mostly are working in shenzhen. They are boss. They rent metal for scaldfold. With blooming construction in shenzhen, they earn much money just from renting out scalfolds. However 2012 sound like a bad year for them.

They stay in an area specially for scalfolders rent. They stay in containers. They even renovate their containers and it is not cheap. The rent also expensive. The owner of the rent is rich and loan money to businessman. Most of them loan money from personal to do business. It is hard to loan money from bank.

Windy and cold at night.

Sincerity counts!


It is a somehow miraculous that you can know different type of people by a simple compliment or a  sincere 'how is your day today?'

During lunch time, I went out with a young colleague. When we went to pay for someone's parking coupon, she compliment the lady's eyelashes. Somehow, the lady revealed that she also makeup for brides. How would you know that the lady who work at parking coupon booth also work as a makeup artist.

It is much better to throw all unhappiness away and focus on something goods going around. you may be doing someone's chore but you can gain something when doing it.

My mum always have good aura. When she wanted to buy a smartphone, she won Samsung Advance from Petronas oil station.

smile and be happy SINCERELY!

Stir fry vege

I cook this for my dinner today, of course i also cook rice using rice cooker. Seems like i have master the art of stir fry vegetable. I wechat the photo to my mother, and she complimented it saying it looks beautiful. Beautiful indeed.

The secret in stir fry is use fresh oil, and add some water while stir fry. 1st stir fry garlic till you can smell the smell, fire is important so it wont be burnt.

Because i have more neighbors now. And they can saw me cooking. No longer i cook in lingerie and singlet. I am now cook in office attire. Blouse and skirt.

The best meal ever.

Mirror mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall.... Mirror mirror on someone's car window...

I am very envy of most ladies hair that always look so neat. No wind can move a single strand of their hair. My hairstyle is always a war zone, a chaos. My hairstyle, just-out-of-bed hairstyle. It is a mistake to think it is sexy, most likely it is messy. A single breathe of air can make a bird nest of of my hair.

So I always check my hair whenever i walk. Especially walking at carpark, i will look at the carseat. I am not actually try to look at the cushion or looking for any valuables in the car seat. I am just checking my hair status.

What if when i was staring into the window, only then i realised the car engine is on, and there is someone sitting at the carseat which i was staring at.... Just pretend it was accident to stare at his car n look somewhere else. It spells a.w.k.w.a.r.d.

Kuch kuch hota hai

Kuch kuch hota hai

Watching kuch kuch hota hai at this age, making me remember those crushes during uni life. So stupid are those crushes.

Why does a girl tend to have crush on their best male friend? I mean when at young age. And boy does not really going to like their best female friend. Such a tragic combination of nature.

Watching old Shah Rukh Khan acting as a teenager is so yucky. It is like watching that indiana jones guy pretend to be 30s years old man. So awkward.

Actually thinking to watch Langoliers. But it is just too eerie to watch it at night. Especially with all those high pitch scream. Really making me nervous. Screeching aahhhhhhh. It is coming. We have to run run.

Porn is better then.

Whip or trust

Personally i feel that he is holding them with a whip.

How to gain trust and loyalty with a whip? Fear would dominate their emotion. Once they overcome the fear and dare to stand for themselves, anything can happen.

Do we respect our teacher when our teacher is waiting for the right time to whip us? We will only fear the teacher. If there is any chance, naughty ones would perform tricks on the teacher.

What about teacher who gained your trust and you can trust the teacher to be there for you when something happen? Naturally and spontaneously you would be loyal and defense the teacher when someone badmouthed your trusted teacher.

I do not like to live in fear and be threatened everyday.

I will get older faster..... That is why next doors looks older than their real age.

2012 rocky journey

Life changes so many times in the year 2012.

2012 is not the end of the world. 2012 is the year that I had to make so many decisions. It is more like trial and error. My heart's beating rate increased every time I made a choice. With this rate of change, I will soon get a heart attack. dup dup dup dup

That is what life about, changes and changes. Or settle down and admit I am too old for all that. Hmnn actually it does sound nice to remain in an unchanging world. I like it.

Just let's pray for another change for good.

life is a rocky journey

Tomorrow shall be a calm day

Can you handle the changes?

Yes, I CAN!

Do you really think you can?

No, I cannot. But the Lord can.


Many times I was worried needlessly, for something that does not happen. My mind was actively generated series of soap opera, which won't be produced as soap opera. It was all n my mind.

Occasionally I imagine that I would be scolded on the next day. But when the next day arrived, nothing happen. It was just a normal 'next day'.

So tomorrow should be not as big deal as what I imagined....

I am going to fight to win!


Have a nice raining day!

Victim of war

War among toast remind me of the song 'Pretender'. When we know someone can change her mind as fast as lightning, get her to email everytime she made a decision. As a proof and reminder that that was her decision. I do not wan to be the squeezed smashed butter among the toast.

War of high profile people shot torpedo over meaningless human and may miss the target. Better grab a armor and hide. But this hardly happen. Most probably that will be sent as a mailman, or ambassador to rival country. It remind me of the movie '300', the scene when the ambassador was thrown into the bottomless pit. Destiny is to die without reason.

Just by reading messages and emails sent by all parties, it is so stressful. It sound like newspaper. Everyday announcing accidence and death of someone you do not know, knowing it might happen to you when you are not careful.

Just a voice from a humble victim of war.

Horror story

On a dark night, moon as the only source of light.

Driving on a deserted road. Shadow of trees covering me. Not a single car is on the road. Only the sound of crickets and owl accompany me.

Suddenly my sight become pitch black!
As if i am blindfolded!!!!

Suddenly...










Suddenly...





I realised that i forgot to turn on the headlights....

Changing

Sad to know that old blogger interface would be gone forever.

Why would I prefer the old one and refused embrace the new one?

  • Old one have distinctive colour and it make it easy to find each tab. New interface borders are not very clearly because of its colour. 
  • Too comfortable with the old interface. Changing is making me uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable invites fear. Fear of changing!

Heart would beat extremely faster than usual and can almost felt it throbbing on my head.
Throbbing on my head because I would have headache.

To let go, we have to face it.

To let down a bottle, we need to pick it up. Only then we can let it down.

Life on instagram

Recently I am indulging into instagram. An mobile application where you can apply filters to make it yellowish and publish it online. It can make blur photos nicer. I don't have steady hands, so this is useful for me.

Somehow I stumbled into someone instagram and she is quitting it. Here is her blog: http://kloquercio.wordpress.com/. Someone even can attack someone via instagram. Is it that bad?

Even someone can take instagram as life? Taking life back from instagram. I thought only Facebook can take someone's life!!....

I am going to have a life with my blog.. I don't want to break up with you yet, ghostynana.

muaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkksssssssssssssssssssssssss!

After play around with Obama, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, we heading to our most expensive dinner of our trip. It is so expensive that I started to think are we really budget backpackers?

In a tour, destination is important, journey is not important;
In backpacking, journey is more important than destination.

In order to reach our destination, we took skytrain to there. But we end up at wrong station, which is quite far from Bayoke. Yeah, we are going to Bayoke. Then we walk through deserted shophouse, because they were closed around 6pm. We had to walk for 20-30 mins to reach Bayoke, just walking toward the light... to the light....

Bayoke Sky Hotel, Bangkok
Finally we are there, classy restaurant. Feeling out of place because we are so 'selekeh', not dress nicely and smelled of sweat.
View from Bayoke
Buffet
Enjoying unlimited buffet for 790 Bath, with magnificent view of Bangkok.






Actually it was the worst meal we had. We learned that best food have to be found at dirty place and cheap.

Bayoke.. Not forget to go out to revolving rooftop. It is so windy and moving quite fast.
From revolving rooftop

Then 2nd last thing to do is visit castle from outside.
Near Castle
Last thing to do is 
drink Sang Som (Wiski), smell like pee..
eat crickets, taste like crackers

No job, no life

Have you watch 'Up in the Air'?

It is about a guy (sexy George Clooney) and his assistant who is much younger than him, travel around America to fire employee in behalf of the company. In the meanwhile, he is having fun collecting mileage points (I have an ex colleague who enjoy collecting mileage too). Most of those who were laid off are around the age of 40-60 years old. Imagine to lose the job at this age.

It is the JOB that hold the meaning of someone's life. Perhaps it is not the JOB. Perhaps it is the routine disruption that can cause deep depression. For all our life, we have routine for every phase of our life. When we were babies, your routine is to cry, drink, eat, and sleep. Then go to school everyday. Then work everyday. Then work and dating. Then work, family, and sleep. And work for most part of our life. Work is the routine for most of your life.

What if one day, when your alarm clock rang, you woke up and hit to shut the alarm. Lazy on your bed for 5 minutes more. Drag your butt up to wash your face, brush your teeth. Have your cereal alone. Grab car key and head to the door. Only then you realised... you are out of job.... You have no where to go. Suddenly you lost the objective of your daily living. Panic start to creep down from the tip of your hair. Ants crawling on your left side of your head. Brain is throbbing hard and 4 limbs go weak. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?!!!!

How to win lucky draw?

I still remember my 1st lucky draw gift of my life. It is an umbrella. That was ages ago.

Just in one week, i regained my good luck and won lucky draw twice in a week.
Last Friday, i won a big hamper full of junk food.


After 2 day, i won a EOS memory card reader. A cute one but quite impractical.


Let me share the way to control the luck so we can get what we want. The key is our will to feel we won't get it. Normally we would want to win a lucky draw. Just don't wish you can get it. W

There are many gift, when it is turn for umbrella to the the gift of lucky draw, quickly wish you can get it. When it is expensive bag as lucky draw gift, quickly change your mind and emotion to disappointed mode, quickly feel that you won't get it. It is the moment you may get!

I tested and prove it effective. Actually before i won my 2nd lucky draw. Emcee told us the lucky draw gifts for that round are expensive ladylike camerabag. I quickly think i wont get it. It is at that moment my no was called out. I was so shocked when i was given a cute useless memory card reader..........

Thanks for my friend www for tipping me on this, after she won RM512.

Breeze Model Search

Had our last stop shopping for the day at Suria Sabah.

A surprise to see Breeze Model Search catwalk in practice. Miaw..







This is their runway. A long red carpet with rude judges at the end of it.

Although I am not qualified for that runway, I am qualified for this long walk. Eyes straight, tilt chin, not too much smile, swing my butt on my way to the toilet.

CNY 2012 in Putian, China

Because some political people kept asking Malaysian Chinese to go back China, my family gladly return to China for Chinese New Year.
My grandfather is from Sin Hua clan, Putian, China. This is our first time back to Putian. As typical Malaysian Chinese, our minds were full of bad assumptions. Glad that all turn out much better than we thought!

Zhen sian chi, Dong hai zhen is the name of the village, near Seng You, 2 hours drive from Xia Men. Transportation is very convenient. There are long distance buses from Guang Zhou airport to Seng You.


Most people get married around the age of 17-20 years old, same as typical village. Most of young generation does not stay in the village. So chinese new year is the time of matchmaking, there will be many ladies doll up in every home. Parents will take their son around the village in search of son's life partner. When their son met the girl he likes, they can even get engaged after few days. Mostly don't get married legally yet, because they want to have many children. This is due to China one child policy. If 1stborn is daughter, they can have another child after 5 years. There will be a fine if they have another child. They won't be fined if they hv many many children before legally married.
3 major thing in their life are get married, have children and have house. Many of them work in city and have their own business. They built 4-5 floors of house. But they only stay on 1-2 floors. Their big tall houses locked for the rest of the year because they will only go back to the village during chinese new year.
Only in Putian, celebration of chinese new year is different. 3rd day of CNY is birthday for those who are 60 years and above. 4th day is like CNY eve. 5th day is even merrier than 1st day of CNY. In Putian, you get 1 year older on CNY. On 15 day, each house will send a representative to carry lanterns to form a long line imitating dragon's tail and march around villages. My cousin told me usually the event take place around 7 pm to 1 am.

Overview of my 2011

2011 is eventful yet too personal to go into details.
Not to forget last year is very family oriented. It was all about family and transformation for me.

January was just an ordinary month, preparing for Chinese New Year in February.


February is the month full of red and angpow. Was in KL for Church Conference in subang Jaya with my youngest sister. Then met my friend and backpacked to Melaka. In Melaka, met my friend, whom I promised her I would visit her again, fulfilled my promise with a brief overnight.
In Melaka, met the handsome cendol hawker in front of A' Farmosa. 
Biggest lion made from toilet brush.
After peninsular Malaysia, went to Sabah to meet long lost relative, including this uncle. The uncle who likes to laugh. Happy uncle who lives at Lok Kawi. Met many more long lost relatives at an auntie's open house.


Not to mention last valentines day was with a bunch of friends. Met new friends too. :)

Proceeding to March, a family reunion and my birthday! My parents get to have their 2nd wedding. My mother's dream to wear a wedding gown finally came true. For RM 10, they took their wedding photos.

April! Backpacking around IndonChina with 2 friends 2 - 21 April 2011.

Then Guilin, China with family... Tiring.....

May, my mum helped charity sale on Miri city Go green day.
Hin Ann Tata mee
And my parents get married 2nd time.

That's all

Toboh Laut, Keningau

Last year, 2010 Christmas and New Year was well spent in a small village in Keningau, Sabah. It may be small, but the name is not small. It is Kampung Toboh Laut. Laut mean sea. No idea what toboh means. Maybe it is Kadazan word. (The Kadazans are an ethnic group indigenous to the state of Sabah in Malaysia. They are found mainly on the west coast of Sabah). Beware that there is Kampung Toboh in Tambunan. 


Vast sea of padi farm. 
Walking on small path among padi farm. Carefully not to fall in the farm, and have a shower with blood sucker leeches.

This is raw rice.

A long walk....

Aaahhh... DISLIKE!!! I don't want shower with leeches!!

When I was in Vietnam, small bridges were built across small stream for small 'spirit' to cross it. This remind me of it. Here this bridge is for small human.


This well supplied water to farm and houses located near to the well. There are many black pipes flowing from this well to houses. The water is refreshing cool.


Opsss... I forget to bring sarong! In small villages, some houses does not have 4 walls bathroom. You might need a sarong to cover you decency while having shower. Advisable to bring 2 sarong. 1 to use when showering, changed into another sarong, so you won't wet your your clothes while changing.

I phone with an IPhone

Finally...

Finally..

Finally...

Finally..

I accept the fact of unable to resist temptation of lust for

luxury

Finally I take a bite on an Apple,
apple in the form of flat touch screen phone.

I phone with an IPhone.
How it even rhythm!

Complication with IPhone:

1) Autocorrect! It took me twice longer time than using keypad phone to type a sms.. Quick Annoying. I wish I can turn off autocorrect mode. 
bukan=butane, haiz=hair....
Even my sighing can be hair, even chemical came out in my sms. My friends must be wondering why suddenly I had become such an intelligent lady.

2) My plump finger need to lost weight. Not easy to type 'n', my finger keep poking 'm'. Perhaps my finger is craving for M&M.

3) I have yet find a cute pouch or cover. My friend have a cassette for her samsung. I mean cover looks like cassette. Do you know what is cassette? I know I am so old school.

Cassette

 4) Battery ran out very fast. The battery must be wearing Reebok sport shoes, that's why it run very fast! I have to time it, so I can be home when it ran out.... I better buy a Reebok sport shoes too, but not available in Miri!!!

5) I want to be free from Facebook.. but I can't run away from FB. Because of Facebook App...... Because I don't have Reebok sport shoes....
