Embarassed
Won an award in the department but don't feel good at all. I should thank the person who nominated me but the way he provide the feedback is too perfect till none of my colleagues are happy about it except for outstation colleagues. My supervisor did congratulate me but I just realised that she is not genuine after speaking to my boss 30 minutes ago. Supervisor told my boss that I did not appear to be who I am in the feedback form. T.T
Looks like many of them were talking bad things about it since the day my boss announced about the award. I felt so embarrased now ! I felt like crying but no tears. I felt like digging a hole and hide myself but I don't know how.
Who should I blame ? The sales rep for nominating me ? The boss for being not familiar with the job I'm doing ? Myself (of course) for having achievements few years back but not this year ? The department is so competitive this year. Politics is not strong here but people here are very fake at some times. I just do my part. I don't need recognisions and then kena condemed after that. I don't want. I seriously don't want. I'm very sad actually. I don't want awards to demotivate myself !

The inconvenience
To what extend can we hate a person ? You might grow up with them, not liking them when you were young and hate them when you grow up. When you were young, you have no right to hate a person, especially when he / she is your close relatives. You only get to choose to dislike and unfriend them but still meet up with them when there are any family reunions. You can't tell your parents you don't like them as you were too young to make such a decision.
Years past and you have been very nice as your parents always tell you the hidden good side of them. Your parents reminded that you must be good to your relatives but unfortunately, being good means giving them oppurtunity to take advantage on you. I don't mean all relatives are bad. People grow up to become a better person. Some people really changed from bad to good. They are more understanding and considerate in some ways.
I don't understand why some of them (I'm seriously refering to some close relatives) can be so inconsiderate at all times especially when they visit PD. Why aren't they punctual everytime (yes, i mean it - EVERYTIME !) when they are coming to PD ? Time difference of 30 to 60 minutes is alright but not half a day right ??!! It's not fun to cancel any plans last minute to wait for the late comers when they only reach in the middle of the night.
When we were kids, daddy and mummy taught us how to behave if we visit other people's house. "Sit down quietly and don't touch a thing ! Ask us if you need anything." Why their parents don't teach them that way ? I still remember one of the siblings took my brother's PS games without his knowledge. It was just pirated CDs that they can afford to buy and the CDs actually belong to my brother's friend ! They just do anything they like in our house - use the internet without asking for permission, eat and drink anything they can find in the kitchen and fridge, keep our house keys without our knowledge, etc.
The only thing that make me turned into an incredible hulk is when they take advantage of mummy ! I hope all these will end soon as I want mummy to live in peace. I want her to do anything she like but not helping others to do what they need. It's quite annoying ! Please leave my mother alone !! Would appreciate if you do not create inconvenience to others for your own convenient !

Ah Yat Abalone
A last minute plan. Darling decided to go somewhere for a short break just the two of us since our last honeymoon trip last October. We spent a night at First World Plaza Hotel, Genting Highlands but dropped by Bukit Tinggi for lunch and took some pictures to proof that we've been there. I can say that there's nothing much at Bukit Tinggi and food was not good at all. Not fresh and too pricey. Hence, I didn't bother to take any pictures of the food.

Well, I might get the names wrongly in English as I can't read Chinese. Food was not bad except for the Cold Duck and Almond soup. As we don't like cold food so the duck tasted a little difficult for chewing and swallowing. I still remember I ordered Almond Tea once and that was my first and last to order this again. Since it's in the package, I ignored consuming the tasted-like-cough-mixture drink. Yucks !
This will be the most expensive meal ever ! Once in a lifetime. Unless someone is willing to belanja us or Mr Lim Goh Tong is willing to spare us some money. Thank you in advance.

Such is the life
Received these facts via email from a friend. Found it quite meaningful and interesting. Happy reading ya !
We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have,
And still we live & love,
That's life...
The best kind of people,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,
And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know
What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back !
Don't expect love in return,
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive,
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away,
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright,
Find the one that makes your heart smile !
May you have
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes,
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything,
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for
Those who cry,
Those who hurt,
Those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importantce of people
Who have touched their lives.
When you were born, you were crying,
And everyone around you was smiling,
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling,
And everyone around you is crying.
Life is too short, live to the fullest with no regrets. Do not fear to try. It would be worth it.

Appreciate
Do cherish the people, especially your love ones around you. This is what I've been asking myself to do these few years. Human being does not live very long in this world eventhough their age reaches 100. Time flies as fast as lightning. So, by the time you realise, many years have past and there is no turning back time. When the time comes, people need to leave this world and the memories will be left with the people who are still alive. Eventually, these group of people will leave one day too.
I had lost 6 close relatives since 6 years old. First was my maternal grandfather, my dad's eldest sister (also my god-mother), my dad (10 years already), maternal grandmother (5 years maybe), paternal grandfather (3 and 1/2 years I think) and paternal grandmother (14 days ago).
I have no idea why I have such bad memory. I tend to forget these people year by year. Not sure whether I'm getting older or I just couldn't be bothered to sit down and recall them. Seriously, it's been so long I did not dream of daddy already. Does that mean that he already forgotten about me ? Or is it because I'm a bad daughter once so he doesn't want to forgive me ? Or he knew that I'm married so he no longer worry about me anymore ?
Live is short. So, life to the fullest ! Do appreciate people around you especially the elderly. They can be quite naggy sometimes. Just think positive and don't forget that you will grow as old as them one day. Hence, you will be as naggy as them too. Life is a circle. What goes around, comes around.

Jojo complaining again
Feeling very cold in the office recently. Is it just ME being cold or the air-condition in the office is too strong ? I tend to experience watery nose from time to time too. This could be the symptom that I'm falling sick soon. I need to drink more water and herbal tea la !
Felling rather hot outside office. The weather is so dry for months already, whether it is under the sun or the moon. It is just so difficult to sleep without air-cond. Worst still when I apply body lotion. I can easily get sweaty when I walk to the kitchen to grab a drink from the fridge.
This week, I feel rather tired and sleepy. Is it because I don't have enough sleep during ah mah's funeral last week ? I slept average 4 hours a days for 4 continous days. Didn't have enought rest too when I'm back in BU this week. My vision is quite blur sometimes. Not sure whether there is any problem after my lasik surgery as I slept late and had to bear with the smoke from the joss stick for days. My next appointment with Optimax will be on the 19th July. Fingers crossed !
Wondering why the pain on the bones behind my ears are getting bad these days. Think it links to my head and eyes. Experienced headache sometimes and vision is getting blur. Bodyache is visiting me too ! What symptom are these ? Period ? Or pregnant ?
I still remember my family had some bad times with some close relatives and feeling a little frustrated. They were so rude during their visit to PD. If you do not respect ah mah's wake, then why attend her funeral ? You might as well apply for the compasionate leave and just stay home ! Some even take advantage of mummy AGAIN ! Why mummy must do all the banggali kang forever ? Why is it difficult for us to say NO ??
Aiyahhh...ME and my complains again. Cold also complain. Hot also complain. Pain also complain. People also want to complain. Anyway, I just wished I could release everything here rather that shouting at the rude people around me. It will be very ugly and I think mummy wouldn't want it to happen.

Please think before you speak
This is the worst conversation I've ever heard and it was between my sister and a close relative. Quite funny actually.
Relative : Sam, can I borrow your car to Giant ?
Sis : *looking at him bluntly*
Relative : Oh, I need your car because Malaysia is not safe. My car might get scratched.
Sis : *feeling a little pissed* You mean your car cannot get scratched but my car can ?
Relative : *innocent look* Yea. Because your car is older ma.
Sis : *feeling very pissed already* Don't worry, parkings at Giant is very convenient. Malaysia is very safe want. No one will want to scratch your car. *then ignored him totally*
Even the relative's wife also felt so paiseh after that. STUPID !!
Halo brother, if you think that you cannot afford scratches to your new car, please do not drive to Malaysia but keep your car in the garrage. Take a bus if you are FORCED to come back to PD !

My last grandparent left
Called mummy on Monday but she didn't pick up my calls. Half an hour later, she returned my call and told me that she was at ah mah's (grandma) place. My grandma used to complain pain everywhere when anyone visits her so I thought her stomachache is just any normal complains. Mummy did not inform me the seriousness and I didn't ask. My bad.
Called mummy around the same time the next day and she said ah mah was admitted to the hospital, in ICU - which freaked me out. Mi said she had a heart attack and doctor confirmed that she cannot live any longer. I teared. Pick Matt from work, discussed with him and we went to the hospital to pay our last visit.
I felt so relief that I did visit her in the hospital but was extremely regret for neglecting her for many months already. Normally, I will just walk off when she starts nagging. Sometimes I even shout at her in anger. She nags and talks about money most of the time. I will only be patient with her when I'm in a good mood. These few years, she has been very forgetful and I seldom visit her eventhough she lives few doors away from my mum's house. She is 87 years old.
Upon reaching at the hospital, I greeted her softly and to my surprise, she could recognise my voice ! She called my name ! I was heartbroken that she was with the help of oxygen machine and with needles on her left hand. She held my hand tightly, asked me to eat as if I'm in her house to have dinner with her. She looked weak and helpless. She left us peacefully right after one of the uncles rushed back from KL.
I'm sorry ah mah. I do love you, but I just don't have the patience to talk to you. I always thought that you will live as old as ah kong. I'm wrong. I shouldn't assume. Time flies as fast as lighting. By the time I realise, it was too late for me to do anything. Please rest in peace and I will definately miss you.
Everyone out there, please appreciate and care for your love ones. Don't neglect them and take them for granted. They might just leave us without prior notice and there is no way you can change the cruel fact.

HSSE
We had our Safety Day Launching this morning in the office Thearette and the HSSE Week will continue for the next 2 days. There is a booth doing Life Check for free downstairs and I happily joined the other colleagues to participate in the NKF Early Detection & Prevention Saves Lives Programme. I did the simple checkup for Blood Pressure, Sugar and Cholesterol. They are under the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia.
Below are my readings :
1) Body Mass Index : 19.0kg/m2 (Normal range is 18.5 - 22.9) Meaning my Health Risk is Acceptable !
2) Height : 1.58m
3) Weight : 48.0kg (Normal weight for my height is 47 - 58kg) The nurse mentioned that I shouldn't go any lower than my weight now. Then, whats the purpose of me dieting ? Haha...
4) Waist Circumference : 62cm (Guidelines for Female is <80cm) I want to go lower than that !
5) Blood Pressure : 96/53 (Category under Normal - Pre-hypertension)
6) Urinalysis : Glucose / Protein / Blood - All negative
7) Random Blood Glucose : 4.5mmol/L (<5.6 means Low probability of diabetes)
8) Random Blood Total Cholesterol : 4.78mmol/L (<5.17 means Desirable)
Result : I should drink 2 Litres of water everyday, eat more fruits and vegetables, minimum 3 eggs a week only and lesser santan. Overall, my readings are very good ! Yay ! Thank you thank you...so now I should maintain maintain ! :p
Other than that, I did my Bone Check too. My reading is 0.3 under the Low Risk category.
Scale : -4 till -2.5 (High Risk) / -2.5 till -1 (Normal Risk) / -1 till 2 (Low Risk)
I was quite surprise with my reading as I'm not a milk person. I don't like the taste of milk and am afraid chocolate milk will make me fat. Since I need to be healthy before I conceive and I don't want to experience Osteoporosis when I'm older, I think I should start consuming milk.
Hence, I bought a packet of Anlene Chocolate (700g) to mix with my oatmeal for breakfast. 4 tablespoons (with warm or cold water) twice a day. I might start with 3 glasses a week first so that I can get used to the smell of milk. Chocolate won't taste too bad, I think. Happy drinking !

Happy Dumpling Festival
I've eaten 1 dumpling (yesterday for breakfast) only this year. Craving for more, but I did not bring any from PD. I should either buy it now or wait till weekend when I'm back in my hometown.
This year, mummy's chinese birthday (6th June) falls 1 day after her actual date (5th June).
Happy Birthday mummy !
And Happy Dumpling Festival !
We had an early birthday dinner for mummy at The Ship last Friday but I've forgotten to bring the pictures with me. Will upload it later ba.
Have a nice day everyone !
Sleepy and tired
Feeling quite sleepy and tired today.
My bad cos I watched DVD till 1.30am last night. My favourite past time hobby in BU. Please don't ask the amount of collections I have ya. Me and my little brother will get caught soon ! Haha...
Sometimes, I don't check the time and watched without knowing it's already midnight and exceeded my sleeping hour. This happens when I want to know what will happen next after an episod ends. Then, I will allow myself to watch the first 15 minutes but will end up watching the whole episod eventhough my eyes are half closed most of the time.
I'm currently watching 隔離七日情 (7 Days in Life) starring by my current favourite actor Steven Ma and past favourite actor Bosco Wong. I have no idea why I find Steven so attractive recently. He is a jerk in this movie but I just liked his naughty facial expressions when he lies and make fun of others. Bosco is just so normal him like any other movies that he had acted before.
There is this cute guy called Patrick Tang, only get to know his name when I do a goggle search with mummy last night. Was surprised this cute guy is already 37 years old ! I just realised there are a lot of TVB stars who does not look like their age ! They looked really good on TV ! Wonder whether they look the same in real life or not ?
Not to forget the pretty Sonija Kwok and newly actress Joyce Cheng, daughter of Adam Cheng and late Lydia Shum. Sonija is one of my many favorite actress. I find her very charming and beautiful in her own way and I do like the way she moves her tiny lips when she speaks. Joyce is new to the entertainment business so let's give her some space and time for her to improve her acting skills. I wish her luck ya !
This post is not supposed to promote 7 Days in Life but to tell the reason why I slept very late last night. I didn't know by writing some introductions of the stars can be so long. Anyway, this drama is so-so nia. You will find it quite bored because the whole 20 episods only cover a few actors & actreses, few locations (too limited as it's in a Hotel) and few issues. I'm so into it because I enjoyed watching Steven especially after watching 碧血鹽梟 (Sweetness in the Salt). 2 more episods left and I shall watch it tonight !
碧血鹽梟 (Sweetness in the Salt) has an awesome storyline. I liked it so much. Thanks Matt for encouraging me to watch this drama series recently. He passed this to me before he left to UK last June and I KIV until last month. Will not eleborate as I'm not very good at elaborating movies in words.
I'm only good at complaining ! That's what mummy & Sam said to me last weekend. A bit hurt but I accept it with a smile and will try my best to change. Wish me luck ! Hahaha...

Sometimes, I don't check the time and watched without knowing it's already midnight and exceeded my sleeping hour. This happens when I want to know what will happen next after an episod ends. Then, I will allow myself to watch the first 15 minutes but will end up watching the whole episod eventhough my eyes are half closed most of the time.

| 隔離七日情 - 7 Days in Life |
I'm currently watching 隔離七日情 (7 Days in Life) starring by my current favourite actor Steven Ma and past favourite actor Bosco Wong. I have no idea why I find Steven so attractive recently. He is a jerk in this movie but I just liked his naughty facial expressions when he lies and make fun of others. Bosco is just so normal him like any other movies that he had acted before.
There is this cute guy called Patrick Tang, only get to know his name when I do a goggle search with mummy last night. Was surprised this cute guy is already 37 years old ! I just realised there are a lot of TVB stars who does not look like their age ! They looked really good on TV ! Wonder whether they look the same in real life or not ?
Not to forget the pretty Sonija Kwok and newly actress Joyce Cheng, daughter of Adam Cheng and late Lydia Shum. Sonija is one of my many favorite actress. I find her very charming and beautiful in her own way and I do like the way she moves her tiny lips when she speaks. Joyce is new to the entertainment business so let's give her some space and time for her to improve her acting skills. I wish her luck ya !
This post is not supposed to promote 7 Days in Life but to tell the reason why I slept very late last night. I didn't know by writing some introductions of the stars can be so long. Anyway, this drama is so-so nia. You will find it quite bored because the whole 20 episods only cover a few actors & actreses, few locations (too limited as it's in a Hotel) and few issues. I'm so into it because I enjoyed watching Steven especially after watching 碧血鹽梟 (Sweetness in the Salt). 2 more episods left and I shall watch it tonight !

| 碧血鹽梟 - Sweetness in the Salt |
碧血鹽梟 (Sweetness in the Salt) has an awesome storyline. I liked it so much. Thanks Matt for encouraging me to watch this drama series recently. He passed this to me before he left to UK last June and I KIV until last month. Will not eleborate as I'm not very good at elaborating movies in words.
I'm only good at complaining ! That's what mummy & Sam said to me last weekend. A bit hurt but I accept it with a smile and will try my best to change. Wish me luck ! Hahaha...

When the person next to you screams
.jpg)
Why do people SHOUT when they are angry ?
Why do people SHOUT when they in fear ?
In my own opinion, SHOUTING or SCREAMING is quite healthy when you need to release your stress. You might want to scream out loud to the sea or scream while covering your face with the pillow to release the feeling of discomfort. You can always call in to One FM Happy Hour, every Monday to Friday, shout out 'Beh Tahan' and win RM 100 from MYEG. Calling in to a radio station to release your stress can win yourself something. Isn't it cool ? Hehe...
Well, why do we SHOUT in anger ?
Why do we SHOUT when the person is just next to you ?
Why do we SHOUT when we are upset ?
My brother reminded me of an article and I would like to share it with everyone here. It's very meaningful and I wished to document it so that everyone can think twice before they start shouting at their love ones.
The article explains like this :
" When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.
What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small.
When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS : When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return ! "

Kaypo aunties
I just can't stop thinking of the two of YOU ! The mother and daughter who came to my house last weekend. They are my mother-in-law's friends who runs a mini market near one of the the housing area in PD.
OK, it happend like this. My mother-in-law was telling me that the mini market's owner's daughter (let's call her K as I don't know her name at all) is in her mid 30s and getting married in October this year. She is marrying to a rich man and will move to KL soon after that. K's mother attended my wedding last October and she mentioned that she likes one of the songs from my wedding videos.
Since my mother-in-law wants to get something from the mini market, she asked me to send her there and asked me to provide the song's name to K. After some chatting with her, K suggested that she comes over to my house after lunch on the same day so that she could listen to the song on my i-pod touch and get some advise on what to do before wedding. Damn it ! I should have brought my i-pod to the mini market and all these wouldn't happen. The story will just end like that, right ?!
Unfortunately, to my surprise, they speak like KAYPO AUNTIE from the KAMPUNG. Sorry to say that but I was not very happy with the comments they gave me regarding my pre-wedding and actual day wedding photos. My close relatives and friends do gave me some negative comments about my photos and I've accepted the fact as I know there is nothing perfect in this world. At least they say it out nicely and politely.
The mother and daughter just make me feel so regret for all the photos taken. It's actually the way they commented really makes me pissed off. At that time, I just felt like turning back time and hope I can do better and redo what I've missed out. What about taking another pre-wedding photo (this will be cost consuming right ?) or plan for another wedding (same groom or not ? haha...greedy me) ?
I will provide some examples of pictures and their comments that make me damn tulan till the max ! If I have any chance to see her pre-wedding photos (K will be taking her photos in a month time), I will sure give her harsh comments for her to terasa a bit. I doubt she is aware that she is not as young as me, not as slim as me, not as sweet as me and not as photogenic as me ! OK, you might think that I'm really beh paiseh for saying all these but the fact is always a fact ! :p
Both mother and daughters were asking why I let my hair down ? Why I did not ask the make up artist to tie my hair up high ? The hair do is so ugly ! ^_^" WTF It's my hair la wei ! What a question ?? Furthermore, you just let the bridal shop's hair stylist and make up artist do everything for you la. Why want to interfere them when you don't even know how to do it professionally ? I bet even the professionals themself hire people to do it for their own weddings.
You know what did K said ? She said "Wahhh...your hubby looks really like an ah pek in this picture la." Paused a while then she repeated twice "Really ah pek la. Hahaha..." Looking at me while pointing at the picture "Really look like ah pek ho ? Why did you choose this picture at the first place ?" Again WTF ! It's just a pre-wedding photo. We normally don't dress up like this so what's the problem with wearing tradisional costume for picture and memory purpose ?
The reason why I did not give any opinions about my make up and hair do was because the hair stylist is my sister's college friend and she did it for free ! So what I did was to let her decide and accept with her choice. I don't like it at the first place too but I'm satisfied after viewing the pictures. Since K and her mother wants to see me with my hair tied up, both continued to condemn my look in this picture ! K said "Why you hair looked so weird one ? Back OK but front so weird la ! Mummy, you see. Weird right ?" Arghhh...what's wrong with both of you ? I just met you the first time and you gave me negative comments without thinking of my feelings and our relationship. You are just my mother-in-law's friends la !
OK, last example ba. Me very tired of complaining liao.
I like this outfit and look but she said I looked like an auntie ! Really arr ? *sad* *sad* *sad* *cry* *cry* *cry*
OMG, I didn't know this will be such a long post. I'm not happy because she gave me unnecessary comments despite we only met for the first time. How come all the kaypo aunties behave like this ? You have nothing better to say and do ar ? And I realised these people never look themselves in the mirror. Let's see who looks more auntie later. A lady in her mid 30s or a lady in her late 20s ? Haha...Bad karma is following me for all the complains ! But I don't care !

Working people
What would you do when you don't feel like working with people that you need to work with ?
1) You don't like the way he / she speaks to you
Speaking like a bossy person when they are not you boss at all. Some managers don't even speak like that. They are more humble than their subbordinates.
2) You don't like the way he / she advise you to do something
You are doing a favour to help to solve a problem but the person didn't give you ample time to check. Eg: Sent a request in the morning and follow up with phone calls and office communicator the whole morning. Investigation also needs time. Why rush only when customer lodged a complaint ? Why cannot be more considerate ?
3) You don't like it when he / she points at you before investigating who is at fault
The person will run to your cubicle and start asking many questions that looks like your fault to the issue that has been explained months ago. He / she did not read but deleted the email correspondence and rushed here and there for explanations. Ended up knowing that it's their own's fault. Then, start twisting around to cover themselves. Such idiots in a corporation. The most annoying thing is the facial expression of the person - he / she will look like he / she is lost and don't understand why the problem happened.
4) You don't like it when he / she asked you to do what a kindergarten kid also can do
This normally refers to your superior. He / she will do a template halfway and asks you to help to check the allignments and size, to make the template beautiful for other people to view. Arghhh...stupid stupid !
5) You don't like it when he / she gets nervous and bugs you to do it immediate
Some people just get so tensed with their job. Every request must be attended 'NOW'. Sometimes you could be doing something halfway and are requested to proceed with a new request immediately. These type of people are so into their job that they don't have time for themselves. Their job equals to their life. Companies do introduce Worklife Balance but it refuse to apply to all staffs. What a waste.
Too many 'DON'T LIKEs' will probably makes me look as if I'm a very fussy and calculative person. I've tried my best to be nice to these people but looks like I've failed in doing so. Once I'm being a little nice, they will try to climb on my head and be bossy again. So, I think I should remain as a bad person instead of a nice person. People will tend to be afraid and won't try their luck to be sacarstic. Sometimes, it's also a way to protect yourself from all the problematic people in the office.

Kajang Satay
Had to stay in BU for another day after the eye surgery as I needed to be at Optimax for my follow up check up the next day. After check up and dim sum brunch at SS2, we headed back to PD.
Half way through the journey, Matt suggested that we should try Kajang satay so he brought us to the famous one that his Kajang friend introduced - Restoran Malaysia Nyok Lan Kajang Satay (corner coffee shop). This was the first time I had satay in the day time, under the hot sun. Parking at this area was terrible and the street was a one-way street.
Since Kajang is popular with their satay, I assumed the satay meat should be bigger but it looks exactly the same with the ones in town. It looks healtier as there is no sign of meat being over cooked. The peanut sauce is sweet instead of spicy and the ketupat is prepared in the traditional way. Not like the plastic wrapped one that you can find in KL. Well, I'm not a spicy eater so I find the sauce just nice for me unlike mummy, she loves spicy so she would prefer if the sauce is spicier. They served in 5 different flavours - Chicken (as per picture), Beef, Mutton, Duck and Fish.
Different people has different taste buds so I leave it to you to rank the food.
Address : No 31, Jalan Semenyih, 43000, Kajang, Selangor
Contact no : 03 - 87331160
Business hours : 11.00am till midnight (Closes on Tuesdays)
Going back to PD from Kajang was a nightmare. The distance was very far and traffic was bad due to the amount of traffic lights along the old road.
Eyes was uncomfortable so I slept in the car on the way back to PD.

My Best Vision Ever !

| Optimax Eye Specialist Centre |
I'm still in a recovering process after my Lasik treatment three weeks ago. I was lucky as Sam & Matt was on a week holiday before they start their new job in May. Hence, I've got Sam as my driver, Matt as my servant and mummy as my companion. Left PD to TTDI early in the morning as I need to do my Eye Screening Test and Lasik on the same day. Was so excited !

| All-Laser-Lasik |
He told me that I have no choice but to go for the Custom All-Laser-Lasik to create thinner flaps to save tissue. It is also 100% Blade Free. I don't think I will elaborate what happend in the surgery room but I can confirm that the process is very fast - 26 seconds for my right eye and 24 seconds for my left eyes.
As I've mentioned in my earlier post, the price for this particular surgery is RM 3,888 per eyes. Since I've paid a deposit of RM 100, I've managed to secure a promotion of RM 3,688 per eyes. If any of you out there would like to sign up, please do not feel shy to submit my name to enjoy the referral commission of RM 100 per eyes. Do drop me an email at jolene.ap@gmail.com or comment in this post so that I am aware of it ya.
This would be my BEST decision (apart from wearing braces) ever ! I did not regret spending for Lasik and doing it at Optimax as they have very good and professionals staffs around (from the receptionist to the optimetrist and to the doctor), unlike the ones from the eye hospital. I'm loving it everyday as I do not need to reach for my specs when I wake up in the morning, I do not need to remove my contact lenses eventhough I'm very tired before I go to sleep. The best was I get to see my alarm clock clearly when I open my eyes ! No regrets at all ! I felt super duper GREAT !
Do visit their website at http://www.optimax2u.com/ or call their hotline at 1-800-88-1201 to sign up now !

Monday Syndrome
Others call it as Monday Blues but I rather call it as Monday Syndrome. It only happens to ME and almost every Mondays. I'm now badly infected !
Most Mondays I will have no mood to eat. Then, I will feel hungry and start muching junk food (as in chips or chocolates) or eat very little. For example biscuits or bread only. After that, I will feel giddy and headache.
OK, sure have to blame it at the air-cond in the office. It's so cold that I can feel my brain is froozen.
Thinking Hard --> Brain Froozen --> Headache
Being a stubborn person, I am so lazy to wear a jacket or shawl. Please blame myself.
Then, I can smell my perfume and get very annoyed to the radio or the music from my i-pod touch. The smell penetrated into my froozen brain and it's now contaminated. I can hear noises in my cubicle and then I will switch off the whole machine in frustration. Thank you, at least I have a PEACEFUL moment now.
Well, I think it's still got to do with my specs again. I know this topic is quite bored already but I want to express that I'm really really excited and nervous as I'm getting my vision corrected in 7 days time ! Please bear for another week ya ! Ha !

Not comfortable
When you complete your education, you need to look for a suitable job to earn for a living. When you start working, you will hope that you will be someone in future so you must work really hard and hopes your superior appreciates your achievements.
Then, you will get married to your right man and have your own children. When you get married, you not only marry the man you love but also to the family of the man you love. That means you need to take care of two families instead of one now. I think this is the biggest challenge for me now. I am still not used to it with his family as I only stayed with them for six months. Living with my family for 29 years cannot compare to living with another family for only six months, right ? I tried my best but I can't overcome my stubborness. I don't want to change but I know I have to. How long do I need, to be comfortable in the house I'm supposed to stay now ? Another six months ? Another year ? Or maybe after I have my own children ? I hope things will be better and I will feel more comfortable with my other family. Keeping my fingers cross.
I think I'm not being a good wife at all. Wives normally wait for their husband to come back from work, prepare their water for shower and cook a simple meal for them. I admit I did not do any of these at all. I don't wait for my husband to come back from work as both of us work at two different places. So, we only meet during weekends. I don't prepare water for shower for him as he can get the direct water from the water heater. Actually, I would like to prepare warm water for him to relax his legs but I'm yet to achieve that. Gosh...I'm such a lazy wife.
I'm still not willing to learn to cook as I don't feel comfortable as I live with my in-laws. It's been so long I didn't cook. Am I suppose to cook for my in-laws too ? If I cook and it doesn't taste good, how am I supposed to explain to my in-laws ? If it's only darling around, I think I don't feel so shy lo. If I stayed in the kitchen to cook for my hubby only, I will look very selfish, right ? So manyexcuses questions in my mind. Shit...I'm such a lousy wife.
How to overcome all these problems ? How to take it easy ? How to be comfortable with everything around you ?
Please someone teach me. Thanks in advance.

Great aunties
.JPG) |
| mummy's siblings and their spouses on my wedding last year *choose 4 ladies that looks alike* |
My mum is the eldest in her family and she has 3 great sisters and 3 brothers. I used to be very close with 3rd auntie as I used to chit-chat with her when she comes to my house to take care of the three of us (me, Sam and Matt) when daddy and mummy were in Singapore for his treatment. When daddy was diagnosed with liver cancer in the late 90s, mummy used to accompany him to the hospital in Singapore and 3rd auntie is the one who came to our house to take care of us. Normally, she will come over after she finish her work in a pub nearby and I will wait for her to come over. Then, I will stay late and chit-chat with her in the kitchen while she enjoys a can of beer. She was considered as my closest buddy that I can talk to since secondary school. She gives me a lot of advise and shares her problems with me. I was quite young and I can't help much but she was glad I was there to lend her my ears. She is a very patient lady. We will continue our friendship forever.
Recently, I realised that 2nd auntie is quite nice to talk to. I quite enjoy the times when she listens to me and agrees with what I do. So, sometimes I will visit her or she comes to my mum's house during weekends and we will chit-chat nonstop. There were times when I was too excited and I don't give her chance to say a word. I just keep cutting off what she wanted to comment. But I know she does enjoy talking to me. Our most favourite topic now is Facebook. She has an account and is quite active recently. Anyway, she is the best example of a healthy relationship with her husband and she teaches me how to be an understanding wife.
My sister, Sam is a nice lady but she loses her temper as fast as lightning and cools down as fast as lightning too. We agree that she resemblance my 4th auntie. I always call her as a very 'kan cheong' person as she prefers things to be done very fast and doesn't like dragging or delaying. Apart from that, she has her good qualities too. She is a very generous lady that supports my mum when she needs immediate help. She sends my mum to the bank, brings her out for brunch (short form for breakfast and lunch) quite often, brings her for shopping, etc.
Well, I think it's not too late to realise that you have great auntie, right ?

Happy decision
After being depressed and sad for 2 weeks, I discussed with darling as I don't want my eyes to be at risk because I want to save money. I have so many questions in my mind. If I've waited for a month, and they ask me to wait again, what shall I do ? Wasted so much time then. If I'm the first person to use the machine after they repair and it doesn't work properly when I'm in the surgery room, I will be blind issit ? I don't want to be blind la ! Sound so scary right ? I think I shouldn't take the risk lo. Luckily darling agrees with me. I love you so much ! Muacksss...
The price difference are RM 1,970 per eye from the hospital and RM 3,888 per eye from Optimax. I've made a deposit of RM 100 so that I can secure the 3 days promotion of RM 3,688 per eye starting today. I know it's a lot cheaper from the hospital but if my friend Ah Mah did not inform me that it can be done in the hospital, I've already do it at any private centre. Furthermore, the service from the hospital is so lousy. Sorry to say that, but I really mean it. I have no confidence with any hospitals now.
Darling agreed last nite and the first thing I did this morning was to call Optimax ! To my surprise, I can do the Eye Screening Test and Lasik on the same day ! The Eye Screening Test cost RM 120 but since I've made my mind to do lasik on the same day, it will be FOC then ! If I can get a referals's name, she / he will be given RM 100 for each eyes. If the referal can give me the money, I can save another RM 200 ! Haha... I'm so excited and nervous.
My appointment will be on the 26th this month. The doctor will give me 3 days MC, I will take 1 day annual leave and I'm off from work for a week ! I am a happy

Fat or skinny ?
Others see me as a skinny
Went to my auntie's house last night. The first thing she commented was I'm too thin. I told her I wanted to lose till 40 kg (as I'm 47kg now) but she gave me a no-no look and said '40kg is too thin la ! Don't lose. You should eat more, Jolene'.
Bump into one of my colleagues in he the office corridor this morning and she said 'Jolene, you are so skinny'. I replied 'That's because I'm wearing black !'. But she replied 'No. That's because you don't eat !'.
Kuang, kuang, kuang...
Well, I think most of my colleagues knows that I prefer to skip breakfast or lunch instead of eating at the cafetaria as the food and price sucks ! Normally. I consume only wholemeal bread (with butter, jam, sausage, tuna, egg or cheese), yogurt or oats for breakfast and lunch. Do you agree that I don't eat my meals properly ? I do go out for lunches with different groups of people in the office but not so often la. The weather outside is so hot. I'm just too lazy to drive.
I'm a lazy person. I don't exercise so I choose to skip meals. Most of the times when I feel a little hungry, I will start taking junk food. How to lose weight so that I have flat tummy (I want to wear S again), smaller arms (I want to wear tube attires without looking as if I'm fat) and thinner thighs (I want to fit into skinny / white jeans) ?

Moodless
Removed my specs. Placed it on the table. Closed my eyes. Placed my palms on my eyes. Lie down on the chair and rest. Within seconds, I realised I fell asleep ! OMG ! I yawned continuously without realising too. Today is such a boring Monday. I can see blue colour everywhere. Yeah. MONDAY BLUES.
I wished I'm lying on my bed with my favourite bolster and covered myself with my warm towel blanket. The sky is crying badly outside. It's 4.15 pm now but it looks like 6.45pm from the office window. Too bad I'm actually in the office waiting to go home but I noticed time passes extremely slow today.
Is it because I did not go out for lunch today ? Am I'm too tired and sleepy ? Or I just don't have the right mood to do my work ? It's the day of the month, I think.

Sometimes, things just don happen according to your plans. When it doesn't happen, you will be very much disappointed and not as excited as before. I was innitially very excited to do my lasik and had some family plannings in line but due to machine problems in the hospital, I have to postpone my plans and bear disappointments for weeks. I seriously don't like the feeling of waiting and I will get moody for nothing. I just want to get rid of my specs ! Why is it so difficult ?
The main issue I have now is budget. I choose to do it at the hospital because it's alot cheaper than the private centres available in town. Once I've made my confirmation after the eye screening, the hospital can't confirm the exact date for me to proceed with the surgery. The receptionist at the lasik department in the hospital said that they need one month to repair the machine. But is it true one month only ? Are they going to ask me to wait another month after waited for one month ? This is my biggest fear but there is no solid answer for me. The only thing I can do now is to WAIT. Waiting is a torturing process and I hate it so much but with no choice, I still need to WAIT. I feel extremely SAD now.

DELETE
.jpg)
Why do people, I mean colleagues don't read emails ? Why ask the same thing again when people already send emails to inform ? Why delete emails without reading ? Why delete when you can keep your emails in Personal Folders ? Why don't want to create Personal Folders when mailbox is full ? Why don't know how to create Personal Folders but don't want to ask ?
Why got these type of people in the working organisation ? Why ? Why ? Why ?

Bad customer service from the hospital
.jpg)
I'm so farking pissed now !!
Did my eye check on the 30th March (Thursday) and the staff at Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital can't give me an exact date when I can proceed with the surgery. I called on Friday morning and she mentioned something about the doctor's schedule so she will call me again in the afternoon. She didn't return my call so I called again on Saturday morning. Then, she mentioned something about the equipment is faulty. It had to be serviced and I should call a week after. I just called like 5 minutes ago and she said the equipment is still not ready. I asked 'When will it be ready ?'. She answered in a hurry 'Don't know. Maybe in ONE month time. You call again la.' WTF ??!! Why cannot answer your patient nicely ? If you need longer time frame, then at least inform your patient first. Explain ! Don't let them wait and ask them to call again ! Isn't it your responsibility to follow up with your patients ?
This incident really makes me continue to think negatively about hospitals. It doesn't matter if you are a non-profit, non-government and charitable hospital. Sometimes, we will get the same bad treatment from a profitable hospital too. Such bad attitude ! They don't attend to their patients professionally. If you don't like your job, then leave the company. Don't just work for the sake of working and give bad impression to your company because of your lousy attitude. Do you know how inconvenient for me to wear glasses ? 3 weeks already and I'm so lost with my specs !
I normally don't lose my patience and anger like this but this is getting too much ! I need a break. A break from wearing glasses and get my eye problem done as soon as possible. I cannot afford waiting as I have other plans in line. For an eye surgery, I need to arrange my work with my collegues, get transportation from my family or friends, adjust my budget, deciding where to rest (PD or BU), my mum gets worried, etc. Very simple, I just need an exact date when I can do my lasik. If it takes a month or a year, just tell me ! Don't ask me to call again and give me the same excuse !
Well, since this is the cheapest place I can get my lasik done, I still have to wait patiently and be patient with that lady from the Lasik Department. Taking a deep breath and I will call again end of this week. If she gives me the same excuse again, I will throw my anger on her, not in the blog anymore. Fingers cross.

Stupid doctor
.jpg)
Visited the compay doctor this afternoon.
Me : Hi doctor...
Doc : *quiet*
Me : Flu and cough...
Doc : Sore throat ?
Me : Yes
Doc : What's the colour of your flem ? Open your mouth.
Me : Transparent. Ahhh...
Doc : *check fever*
waited a while...
Doc : OK, no fever.
doctor writing but didn't explain my condition and what medicine to give me...
Me : Doctor, 1 more thing. I can feel something in my right eyes when I close my eyes.
Doc : *takes torch light and check my eyes* There is a small lump but don't worry. It will disappear when you rub your eyes.
Me : I tried rubbing and used Eye Mo but it's still the same. It doesn't matter right ? It will disappear or not ?
Doc : Yes.
Me : Thank you doctor. *walks out*
Nurse : This is flu medicine for morning, flu medicine for night, some lozenges for your sore throat and eye drop for your eyes. Please clean your hands before using ya.
Me : No cough mixture ?
Nurse : If you want I can help you to request from the doctor.
Me : OK please.
Nurse : *walks in and came back in 30 seconds* Doctor says your eye doesn't need the eye drops. I will change with the cough mixture for you.
Me : *stunned*
So, this is about save cost or he is just a stupid doctor who doesn't like his job at all ?
Sick baby

The medicine that I took since Saturday does not help much. I can't feel the flu on Saturday morning but doctor gave me flu medicine since I have cough. Normally, flu comes together with cough without any reasons. After consuming flu medicine, my flu got worst until today. I felt my head is so heavy, tired and sleepy but I can't afford to take MC since I might go on MC next week for my lasik surgery. Planned to see the company doctor after lunch and hopefully he will give me stronger medicine so that I can sleep well tonight.
Feeling a little hungry, I went to co-op to buy food but no interesting food available. Only junk food, ice-creams and buns. Hence, I moved to the cafetaria to buy sandwich. The sandwich tasted so bad and darn pricey ! RM 3.00 for 2 pieces of cold and dry bread with 1 piece of salad, 2 pieces of cucumber, 2 pieces of tomato and chicken with mayonaise. The chicken tasted more mayonaise than chicken ! Sound so stupid right ? I should have bought a loaf of Gardenia wholemeal bread for RM 3.00 and eat for a week. It is so not worth it and I'm not going buy bread from the cafetaria again. This will be my first and last time, so please hope that I'm not hungry during lunch hour.

Blurry vision
.jpg)
I woke up at 6.30am yesterday morning, feeling very fresh as I took 2 pain killers before sleep. I really had a good rest as it was raining in the middle of the night. Texted my friend in the morning while getting ready to go for my eye check at the hospital. Normally he is an early person but he reached sharp 7am due to the bad traffic and weather.
We had a lousy dim sum breakfast near SS2's Rothman's Roundabout (can't remember the name of the restaurant). The service was very slow and food was not tasty at all. The hot chinese tea tasted like pipe water ! Food was not ready by 7.30am (normally dim sum restaurants are ready by 4 or 5am) so we had to wait for approximately 15 minutes for our first dim sum to be served except for lo mai kai (Steamed Sticky Glutinous Rice with Chicken). Luckily we were still early for my appointment so we chatted while waiting for our food.
To my surprise, my friend planned to wait for me at the hospital. I told him the process will take about 3 hours but he insist to wait so I left him alone at the lobby with other patients. My appointment is at 9am. After all the eye exam and consultation, I paid my fees of RM100 at the lobby and proceed for lunch at Station 1, Jaya 1.
OMG, I can't see my food la !
The eye drops that they used to dilute my eye balls had side effects so they told me earlier I need transportation after the check up. Hence, I've asked help from this friend and he agreed without hesistating. True enough, my reading vision was very blur after that. I can't see near when I was wearing my glasses as if I had long-sighted. Well, I've got 老花 at the age of 29 @_@ (for few hours only la). The doctor told me that my reading vision will be blur until the drops wear off. It normally take about 6 hours but mine only was back to normal when I woke up this morning.

Headache again
I seriously need a head/brain massage now. The pain has been on and off since yesterday morning until now. I felt sleepy but can't sleep. I felt giddy but can't vomit. My eyes felt tired but can't see if I remove my glasses. I think I can smell my own perfume and it make me even more headache. I'm feeling very cold in the office while other colleagues are complaining that the office is too warm. My brain is froozen now. Once I get out from the office, I can feel the heat. Weather is unpredictable recently. That's the reason why I'm being so moody these 2 days. Not wanting to speak to anyone. I think I'm gonna get sick soon ! What should I do now ? Should I take pain killer ?

Li Xuan's 2 year old birthday
Today is my beloved niece's 2 year old birthday. We had an early birthday celebration for her last Friday. Her grandma (my auntie) prepared steamboat for dinner and bought a pandan sponge cake for this cute little birthday girl. Party joined by close family members from my mum's side. They are the best relatives I've had. At least they don't take advantage of my mum but take's good care of her when her children are not around.
I hope she will grow up to be a pretty, smart and intelligent girl !! Happy birthday girl ! ~~DOB : 28th March 2009~~

Qing Ming Festival
The chinese have to to pray to their departed ancestors at the cemetary once a year during Qing Ming Festival that falls on 三月初三 (according to the chinese lunar calender) - which means it falls on the 5th April this year. The ritual will be carried 10 days before and 10 days after the actual date.
Since daddy passed away in 2001, we normally visits him at the Sendayan Cemetary on any weekends, 10 days before the actual date. The place will be packed with people and cars as early as 5am. They will bring food, paper luxury items and hell notes to burn to the deceased. Parking will be a problem but luckily there are some volunteers who help to ease the traffic issues. Normally, we will leave our home as early as 5.45am so that the prayers will end before sunrise.
When grandpa (daddy's father) passed away in 2008, we have to visit the graveyard together with all the uncles (daddy's brothers). We need to pray ah kong first then daddy to respect the older deceased. Thanks to some of the uncles as we get Vitamin D at daddy's graveyard every year. I don't understand why they can't wake up earlier as planned. It's a yearly event, one only need to wake up as early as 5am once a year. Why make other people wait since there are 2 graveyards to pray ? Isn't it not fair for us as we have to clean daddy's under the hot sun ? Some uncles even don't care about the festival and never turn up to pay respect to their own father. Hence, everything to be arranged by mummy. Poor lady have to do all the buying and packing for 2 deceased. Some uncles are kind enough to appreciate what mummy did but some don't even bother to say thank you and don't want to pay all the expenses. I really hate these selfish people who takes advantage on mummy !!

Nasi Lemak Sotong for breakfast
My breakfast for the day. No picture available.
Sam wanted to buy me nasi lemak bungkus this morning but I've rejected. Bought a loaf of Gardenia bread and wanted to eat it with marjerin and cheese. Upon reaching office, there is a packet of nasi lemak sotong on my table. As usual, Jenny will buy extra food for office meeting and offer it to me. To my surprise, the whole packet is so wet and red ! I am not a spicy eater. Hence, this is really too spicy for me but since I'm very hungry, I finished all while reading the newspaper.
After effect : Red lips with watery nose. The feeling is so good and satisfying !
I don't mind this type of breakfast once a while but not everyday la. Don't want to grow sideways for nothing.

Headache
Am having slight headache since I came back from lunch. I didn't take heavy lunch and the weather outside was not too hot (maybe because I was feeling very cold in the office and in William's car). Tried to relax my eyes by removing my glasses but it's still the same. At the same time, I felt dizzy because of my blur vision without my specs. With or without vision, I'm feeling the pain. I think I need my bed now.
Suddenly, I realised there is an annoying sound from my colleague's cubicle. It's her fan ! Her old type of square table fan the doesn't help at all when it's placed at a very hot area. The sound has been there for some time. I stood up to complain to Yong and he agreed he had headache too. Without wasting any time, he walked to her cubicle and switched off the fan. To our surprise, another colleague mumbled 'Oh, that's better'. The owner asked 'Bising ke ? We said 'Yes' and continued our work.
