North to South Trip @ "THE WONDERFUL BEGINNING"

Well well well... I can officially announce to everyone that I'm qualified enough to use anti-aging products after the month of January. ><

Due to the reason my birthday fell on few days before Chinese New Year so I decided take leave from 28th and go to Johor to visit my mother and grandma. I wanted to celebrate my 25th birthday with my family!

It would be an amazing trip to me as I will combine my birthday and Chinese New Year celebration together. Celebrate it all the way from Penang to Johor and Singapore. And the story of my North to South journey started on 28th of January, the day before my birthday.

A million thanks to Danny. I would not be able to have a road trip like this without the wonderful company of him. I have not much worries while every time he is beside me. Instead of using the highway, we spent our 3 hours time on the normal road towards Ipoh. Although by using the normal road, the time taken is slower but we enjoyed scenic view of the life style and small towns along the way. Parked the car at Ipoh, and continued our journey out bound towards Kuala Lumpur using the new express train service.

The new express train service is awesome as it only takes 2 hours and 15 mintues to reach Kuala Lumpur Sentral. Besides that, they provide movie inside the cabin so for the the whole trip from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur, I don't even feel bored at all.

The thing I only ate in Kuala Lumpur is... NASI LEMAK!!! =.=' Had my nasi lemak at Restoran Darussalam and my sister said that the nasi lemak from this shop is quite famous.

And again, nasi lemak for breakfast the next morning at Village Park, Damansara Uptown. Okay... I'm gonna admit that this is the best nasi lemak I ever ate up to date. Crispy fried chicken and rice so fragrant infused with the sweetness of coconut milk. Mmmm MMmmm MMmmmm... makes me hungry as I'm writing this.

Cheap Deal at The Manhattan's Fish Market

Having a cup of cuppacino and latte with Danny at the Manhattan's Fish Market in Gurney plaza with a super cheap good price now. It's having so great deal to the customer as they only serve each cup of coffee like cuppacino, black coffee or tea for the price of 95 cents.

I feel so relax right now in this moment, drinking my coffee with my beloved watching raindrops falling and people walking by... At the same time, I'm waiting for another one hour to go to teach my students and then... I AM OFF TO JB AND KL FOR MY CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAYS!!! ><

Oh ya... the Manhattan's Fish Market cheap deal is only available from 3pm till 6pm during weekdays. Although the coffee is not the best but the price is pretty attractive... Think about it, a normal 'kopi ais' that you normally order at mamak also cost you RM1.20. A suggestion from me to you, no harm trying! ^^

Locked Myself Outside My House

It was a shit experience to me yesterday night. I locked myself outside my house!!! Sigh to see myself still careless as usual and do thing without checking properly. At the end, this lesson cost me RM40.

I had a date with Chewwis and Jacinta yesterday night. I was so excited to meet up with them as it’s been such a long time I didn’t go out to have some fun. I am so busy about my work and house thingy all these while. Who knows… something happened after I stepped out from my house and it ruined my mood.

I thought I already got all thing things i needed before I left my house but while I on the way walked to my car, I just noticed that I took the wrong key out. “Shit!!! The key is still inside!!!” I locked myself outside my house.

I tried to call Danny for help but his phone was out of battery and I couldn’t reach him. I was stunned in front of my house for a few seconds. It’s going to 11pm… Don’t tell me that I’m going to wait until the next morning I can only get back into my house. I don’t have any contact of lock breaker!

I called some of my friends and try to get the lock breaker’s contact number but none of them have. I thought of climb up from the back and break into my house through balcony to get back the key but was stopped by Chewwis and Jacinta. Thanks god… Jacinta finally found me a lock breaker’s contact number from her friend and then my heart finally can calm down after called to the lock breaker and he said he will reach my house within 20 minutes.

Within few minutes, the lock breaker opened the door for me successfully by using two little wire stuff. Well, think about it, he just earned RM40 in few minutes and it seems so easy job. Suddenly think that being a lock breaker is a super great job. You can simply open whatever door with your skills.

At the same time, Danny finally found a place to charge his phone and called me back. It’s better that he never call me and just act like his phone was out of battery for the whole night. He told me that there’s a spare key keep in his house. ~!@#$%^... If I know that, I would not spend my RM40 to open the door. However, it’s TOO LATE! My 40 bucks gone. Just because of my careless! -.-‘

After that, everything went back to normal. I took my keys off and i went out with Chewwis and Jacinta. Thanks to cocktail of Zenzibar, I was in the ‘heart pain’ mood before reached Upper Penang Road. I can’t accept my money just gone like this due the reason of me being careless. But after few glasses of cocktail, it seems like the feeling of ‘heart pain’ had gone just as fast as my 40 bucks did.

Life is just like a roller coaster, with a lot of ups and downs and unexpected moment. I finally understand it. From excited to sad to happy, all just happened on me within 3 hours….

So, the lesson of this story is, MAKE SURE you have the key with you before you go out and lock the door especially apply to someone who clumsy as me >.<

Thanks to Chewwis and Jacinta for cheering me up for the whole night ^^

At the end of the drinking session... 'someone' was drunk and straight away fell asleep inside the car... Guess who she is? ><

Idiot Never Learns

'Smart person learns from people's mistake; normal human learns from their own mistake; idiot never learns!!!'

I found out this sentence is very useful to me as it's not the first time I write it into my blog especially each time when I feel fed up toward somebody. These words will just automatically pop up in my mind. Yes... Idiot never learns. And why should I feel so fed up about their attitude?

No one is born to be perfect. Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his or her error. Mistake makes people grow up and improve if we're willing to learn from the lesson. If we don't, the mistake will just stick with you forever in your life and it causes you never ever improve and success.

I feel sad to see those who never learn from their mistake. An advise from me to the so called 'idiot', either you are just lucky enough that every time there's someone with good heart helps you out of the mess that you make or you will just spend your entire life like that as a failure.

Think back of what I had done for the past. Obviously, I made a lot of mistakes and it almost mess up my life upside down. How I wish I can simply point my finger to someone and blame on them but I can't. I learn from the mistakes and I will never repeat it again. If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are, precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. We must be big enough to admit our mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

I’m now laughing at my mistakes can lengthen my own life but at the same time, laughing at someone else's can shorten it. I firmly believe that you live and learn, and if you don't learn from past mistakes, then you need to be drug out and shot.

Learn from your mistakes and build on your successes. Sit down and think for a while… Have you ever learn from your previous mistakes? Do you see any improvement in yourself? If not, it’s time to take your action and correct them. Don’t be one of those idiots!!!

Beautiful Morning, Beautiful Sunrise

Thanks to the part time kindergarten teacher job to make me have to wake up early in the morning before 8am nowadays and it changes me successfully from a vampire to a normal healthy human.

I used to like nightlife. I like seeing the night lights shining the city and giving it something extra that can’t be experienced during the day, a whole new perspective is uncovered under the magical lights of the city but the older I get, the more treasures and hope and joy I find in mornings.

I start falling in love with morning. Woke up early in the morning today, and the first thing I saw out of the window is the beautiful sunrise. It’s a very beautiful sunrise. I can see the orange haze on the horizon as the morning exhales a yawn, and seems to be ready to rise.

I can’t recall back the last time of seeing sunrise. Guess it must be happened at least 4 years ago or even longer. I tend to party late during my teenager life time, and I always thought driving back home while the sun was rising was beautiful. Now that I wake up early I see sunrise daily.

I love the fresh air in the morning...

I love the smell of coffee in the morning...

I love the view in the morning...

Now, my favorite time is when the sun is just rising, illuminating the world. It signifies new chances, and the beauty of day. When the sun rises, I go to get my organizer, make some coffee, and relax. i write down my schedule of the day and things to do before I step out from my house and I found out it’s more productive and organize.

Most successful people are early risers. Although, no one can guarantee that getting up early will necessarily make you successful, there are some sound reasons why successful people choose to wake up before the sunrise.

A lot of researches were conducted on how early rising can help the society. An early riser finishes more tasks than those who get up late which means, you will most probably become more successful. Success is equated to more goals achieved by a person who has sound mind and body.

People who wake late miss one of the greatest feats of natures, repeated in full stereo vision each and every day ~~~ the rise of the sun. There is no better way to greet the day than watching a Sunrise.

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. ~Monica Baldwin

Sun, Sea, Sand

It's a beautiful Tuesday...

A friend of mine dated me out to the beach which is behind the Flamingo hotel to...

SUN TAN!!!

I wish to tan my skin into darker skin tone long time ago but so far none of my girl friends like to tan their fair skin except... Jocelyn ^^

Here am I having a lovely day with a lovely friend, Jocelyn plus a lovely bikini

and I prepared well going to 'roast' myself under the hot sun...

I have to make sure myself get a balance tan on my body so I decided to take off my top...

woohoo~~~

It's such a relaxing day to me~~~

Sun, Sea, Sand with cold beers...

That's one of the reason I love Penang so much...

I know myself couldn't find this kind of life in Ipoh or KL...

To be frank, this's my first time to go for sun tanning so actually I don't have any knowledge about it...

How to tan... How long does it take...

I really got no idea...

Never try, never know!

Thanks to Jocelyn for bringing me out, sponsored me beer and accompanied me to sun tan =)

Finally, I gave out my 'first time' to this beach and Jocelyn...

We spent about 5 hours on the beach and the result of sun tanning is not bad...

I do really like this feeling of laying down on the beach under the sun...

me and Jocelyn will be going to visit the beach with beers again...

and I'm now going to announce to everyone over here:

SUN TANNING OFFICIALLY HAVE BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAST TIME..

It's 2011

It's been some times I didn't update my blog because recently I was busying with my freelance job again and no longer tied up with the event job. But thanks god... my life is much more interesting when it comes to 2011...

Went back to my hometown to attend my friend, Yuki's brother wedding dinner during New Year eve with Danny and the other three pair of lovely husband and wife /boyfriend girlfriend...
