Joanne's wedding

Last night was Joanne Loh's wedding, she is my ex-colleague in Standard Chartered ;)

Before that, Kevin and I had our lunch in Nasi Dagang Ulik Mayang...









The foods served were...
I didn't even bother to take photos of the foods :(

Some photos before we got in car,
candid


Funny right?
That's why it's called a candid snapshot :P
Gagaga



Night time,
My ex-colleague Joanne's wedding
We didn't meet for more than 2 years
Hey, look at the camera la...



Me and her



My ex-colleagues, Siew Theng Eunyce
I didn't know they were invited!
Joanne wasn't too close with them,
Well, Joanne lived near to my house, we went home together almost everyday ;)
I was super happy to see them!



3 of us



He is Desmond Ling, well, he's my ex-colleague too, but he was in another team,
Thus, I'm not really close to him, a candid :P



Kevin and I



The menu, I like the writings so much!





Foods..



Suckling pig


Fish


Bambo glutinous rice..


Desserts


Champagne pouring or cake cutting, I'm not too sure,



I was busy chatting with Siew Theng and Eunyce :P
Didn't meet for 1 year plus, lots to catch up..we used to have lunch, and went to meet clients together when we were in Stand Chart ^^

Siew Theng!
She is super cute and nice :)



Eunyce!
A super friendly lady ^^

A photo before we left
P/s: We don't know the ladies on the right hand side, I only know they were in SC too ;)



I wish Joanne and her husband a happy life :)

Down

I can't sleepy,
I dislike tonight,
because tonight,
I realised...
I was prettier...
I was slimmer...
and...I was younger :(

Just 2 years, so much difference!

Sigh,
it's time to diet ;)
Hahaa..

Cute note

Early morning, I saw a note that my mum left before she went out with my grandma and aunt:

"May you much eat OIC"
(my mum call me May)
Hmm...I didn't understand, but should be mum asking me to eat it



It's pork porridge





I asked my mum, what is "may you much eat?"

"Ooh, should be 'you must eat', wrong spelling...hahaha"

See, I told you my mum wants a fat daughter :P


"I see...then what is this OIC, does it means ??"

"HAHAHAHA, that's OK, not OIC"

:P
My mum is a genius

Slumber party!!!

These photos were taken some time ago, I just re-organized it...and decided to share these loveliest, happiest, funniest and craziest photos to you! ^^
I really miss my friends, especially Cynthia, she is so far away :(

Photos were taken in Renaissance Hotel ;)
I will let my photos will do the talking

Ta da~
Me, adjusting the camera

Ah...a kiss from ma hot babe



She said:
"Tang tang tang tang...this is the girl of my dream, Miss Violet" :P



Unfortunately,
Hwei Chen, Ket and I were very hungry,
and then...we saw a big bun! :P



Arghhhh...I wanna bite it!



"Helpppp~" The bun screamed for help, hoping Cynthia will save it
Bluekkkkk,
We don't care :P



This bun is mine!!!
Hwei Chen is really Ham-Sap :P



After this, we decided to do some experiments, to see if the lenses are fine
Testing 1...

Okay, now we'll try something else, K?
What say...birdie birdie?

P/S: Darlings, please don't kill me for making this story!!!

26, March 08

Cynthia was here yesterday, but we didn't meet because her car broke down and I need to go to the library. In library, she called me...

"You are in the library? Can you talk right now?"

"Yeah, sure"
I was the only one in the library, haha :P

Suddenly, I heard...piano melody...

I talked to her in the morning, she said hope to pick up piano lesson that she abandoned for years, she wishes to be a piano teacher.
I still remembered when we were Form 5, I went to her house, asked her to play a song for me, she said
"No, I don't want"

Hmmm..I was quite disappointed.
So this morning, I reminded her :P

And, in the afternoon, she called me and played a song named, Edelweiss, a soundtrack from the sound of music (my favourite!)

That's very sweet of her, I smiled...so touched!
Well, she couldn't see it

I encouraged her to go for it, and I want to be her first student, really...piano is my favourite musical instrument :)

Thank you my dear, I'm really happy you played me that song, muacsksssss :')))

Today mum went out with dad, she asked me to cook for dinner.
No meats, just some vegetables.



Broccolis, cabbages,




mushrooms, carrots




bell peppers, tomatoes








dong fan "东粉"
Seriously I don't know what this called in English



It's very easy to cook, just a few steps :P
First, cook broccolis, carrots and cabbages



After that, pour in mushrooms and dong fan



add in bell peppers and tomatoes



Cook for a few minutes...



Done!



Ermmm...it's overcooked...

"I think it's overcooked..."

Joan said
"Yeah, but I love overcooked foods"

Hahaha, is this a compliment?

"I will pack it for tomorrow's lunch"

She took out a container and really packed it!!!

My parents came home just now, my dad didn't like it, but my mum said it's delicious...
Hmmm, she asked me to cook again next time :P

25, March 08

I'm feeling sick, I ate super super spicy grilled chicken in Nando's last night at 9pm! I couldn't sleep well, my stomach was burning hot, drank a lot of water but useless, mum should store some ice cream at home :(
This morning, I lost my appetite...
I didn't eat breakfast, normally...I can swallow a whole chicken in the morning

I browsed through my photo album, and I saw the photos that I took previously, realised I "forgot" to upload it.
These are some photos that we took last month, in Food and Tea Hong Kong Restaurant in Cheras, in fact they have a few branches, including the one next to GSC Timesquare.



They serve nice foods and beverages, but somehow Joan doesn't like the foods there :)
Browsing menu





Happy Kevin and Violet





At first, we ordered 2 main courses and a side dish, which are
sliced beef black pepper spaghetti



stir fried prawns with shredded chicken noodles



and spicy tuna rolls



The foods served were oily...but delicious! After we finished these foods, decided to order again,
stir fried udon noodles with prawns



Kevin's lemon red tea



My super star!
It's pink color, and full of chewy jelly cubes ^^



...simply irresistible!





I think Kevin is irresistible too, so I put him in my glass :P
HAHAHAHA!



And ooh yes!!
99 (it means forever)..our table number ;)))



AHHHHH....
My mum just called me, she is in the morning market right now, I said don't buy any foods for me, because I don't have appetite (before she went out this morning), and NOW, she told me she is on the way home with KFC (-_-")... ......

Hahaha, I think she wants a fat daughter :P

A boring, weird day

I spent a few hours in the library today, soooooooooo bored!!!
It's all because of my thesis, thesis thesis thesis...

But I'm happy, at least I found what I want and I know what I'm going to write about. :)
I browsed through my seniors' dissertations, found out they did a lot of researches and surveys, right now I only left one and a half month, anyway, I'll try my best!

My lappie just couldn't get connected in college, I wonder why... Initially I thought to do my stuff in library everyday, but now, I can't. How to do research without connect to the internet? And guess what, even if my lappie's setting is fine, I still have to use the unsecured network provided by the college. When I asked them
"Why?!"

They said, "hmmm...because we are using this" (-_-")... ......

I met one of my classmates in the evening when I was waiting for Kevin, we talked for a while, didn't meet him for a few months, he is very helpful and friendly, ermm...I forgot his name. Hahaha! :'P

After he left, another fellow approached me, his body language make me feel uncomfortable. I don't think I met him before, so I didn't look at him
"Hi..."
"Hi..."

He called me twice, I took a glance and I'm very sure I don't know him, I didn't answer.
"Hi, hello..."
again

"Yes? Is there anything I can help?"

"Hi... I... hmmm......" He gave me a very bad impression, can you just leave people alone if they don't want to talk to you? can't you?! And if people answer "YES? IS there anything I can help?" Just say it, don't make people guess! I don't think he is shy or what, he is just weird. By the way, the way he talked make me feel uncomfortable; the way he looked at me make me felt...so naked. I felt he is not friendly and sincere.

I waited for a short while, he still couldn't tell what he wants. I was impatience and...a little scared, and so I decided to neglect him, I turned back to the college lobby, well at least there were other people there. The weirdo didn't follow me, glad!

My classmate was in the lobby too, he saw me and we talked a little. Suddenly, the weird guy came in, he stood behind my classmate and looked at me, then, he walked a few steps back, leaned against the door and staring at me.

I'm not chicken-hearted, I just didn't know what to do.
I couldn't shout at him and ask him to go right? He is one of the students.
Right after my classmate left, he stepped a few steps forward, well, I admit I was unfriendly, I took out my mobile and pretended I was engaged.

I was so worried, called Kevin twice, he didn't hear it.
A minute after this, the weirdo's friend came over, they talked the language that I don't know, I just know they were discussing about me, it's bad to point your finger at someone, because they will know you are talking about them.

Finally, the weirdo left with his friend.
I guess should be like this, the weirdo's friend asked weirdo to leave.
OOh, I need to thank the weirdo's friend right. Hahaha :P

Maybe I'm overprotected myself, but there are too many bad guys and bad things happened around us...

Well, I will make a lousy conclusion: The world is unsafe, we need a superman.

Where are you superman?
It's time to get up!

LOL!
Ta da~
This is called, the lousiest ending of a blog :P

Funny magical mattress

Just said bye to my dad's friend's wife, the story is quite funny...

My dad's friend's wife called my dad this morning

"Hello, I'm Tee's wife, do you still remember me?"

"Ohh, yeah, I remember Tee"

"Are you free around 12pm later? We wanna find your wife, I have something to discuss with her"

Deal, so my parents expected Tee and his wife will reach about 12pm.
My dad dislike waiting for people, that's why he never late for appointments. He is very concern on punctuality, we waited for 2 hours...2pm...they finally reached. But dad was still okay la, he was happy his old friend wanted to pay him a visit.

Tee's wife called dad,

"We are in a lift"

"Okay, I will come out"

The lift doors opened, there was no one else except 2 ladies with a lot of luggages, my dad didn't see Tee and he didn't know the ladies.

"Hi! Voon! This is my daughter, how are you?"

"Ooh...you, I couldn't recognised you, hahaha!"
"What are these things? You brought your luggages along? Why didn't you leave it in your car?"

"Hahaha, I have something good to share with you!"

"Where is Tee? I thought he is coming with you?"

"No...he is at home"

My dad bet, most probably another direct selling talk/MLM.
They followed us home, and mum almost fainted when she saw all of the luggages

"Are you going to sleep here tonight??"

It's not they are not welcomed, just...I don't think there are any more rooms to put them in.

"No no no, don't worry, I wanna share something good with you, don't worry!" Tee's wife answered

In fact, non of my family members like direct selling's product, we are not anti-direct selling, just sometimes the mark-up prices are too high and not reasonable.

They started to demonstrate their products and OPP (Opportunity, Product, Presentation). They wanted to introduce a mattress which is so called "magical" and can cure all of the illness and diseases. Before that, they took a pair of black socks out, helped my parents to wear it.

"This is a new pair, these socks are designed for good health!
Do you know the famous local singer 黄清元? He doesn't have to die because of this mattress and socks! Without this mattress, he would most probably died long time ago!"

What the heck?
HE DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE
This is what she said, I didn't change the grammar or words.

Well, does it means I will die if I don't sleep on the mattress and wear that funny magical black socks?

She talked about ion health benefits but when I threw them questions about ions, they didn't seem to care to answer/explain (I assumed they don't really know what ion is), they just said

"That's a vitamin in the air"

Ooh..okay (-_-")......

Followed by

"This mattress and socks are so good, it helps to cure heart attack, diabetes, high blood pressure...etc"

Her daughter (she told me she is in my age but have 2 daughters, she married few years ago) took a few books from one of the luggages, and showed me

"You can read from these books..." she pointed the words on the cover of those books...

"You see, you see...you can read the cover"

The books are not new, but I'm so sure she has never read the books, why? Because I love to read and I have a lot of books, I can tell which books are new or old, the cover of her books are all old, but inside? She shouldn't lie at me.

I took one of the books and her OPP file, wanted to read and understand more on the products, she seems to be very nervous, as if I shouldn't read myself. If the informations on the file and books are accurate and the products are all so good, she should be very happy when I wanted to understand more right?

I read...actually that socks are from a hosiery company in US. The leaflet just introduced the company background and they didn't mention these socks are so magical and can cure everything. And, I didn't see any clinical proven reports in her OPP file. When I asked about this, she just took one album out and showed us the results of (after and before) using this mattress and socks.

Who are the people in the album?
They themselves, their sisters and friends.

"How is your mum? Is she alright? I've heard she is suffered from diabetes..." My dad asked Tee's wife.

"Ooh, she is still in my hometown, rest at home"

"Did she use this mattress?"

"Ermmm...no, but I'm going to bring her out and ask her to use this mattress"

Guess what, these ladies have been involved in this direct selling for more than a year (she told us), if the mattress is so good so magical, why didn't she ask her mum to use it? Is it because of her mum can't afford the price? Come on, she is your mum! and you just told us you bought 6 mattresses! Is it because her mum doesn't want to sleep on the mattress? All bullshits! Lots of excuses

By the time Tee's wife wanted to show us the mattress, my dad lost his patience, he hinted them he has an appointment with friends and should leave home in a while.

This time, they got the hint but refused to leave, they said

"OOhhhhh...really? It's okay, it's okay, I just want some time to show you this mattress. Very quick one"

Suddenly my dad's mobile rang...

"Okay, coming..."

After my dad hung up the phone, he said
"You came here late, I thought you will reach at 12pm, so I promised my friend to go to his place at 3pm..."

It was almost 3pm
They were disappointed, but didn't give up

"I will bring my 'master' (upline) to meet you someday next week, I'm so happy and glad to meet my master, he is the saviour of my life! How do you think about these socks?"

"Alright, I will buy these socks..."

"It's RM270 per pair"

After my dad gave her that money without utter a word, she thought my dad was so easy-going, so she continued

"I must introduce my master to you. I bought 6 mattresses from him, spent more than a hundred thousand! Now I feel very happy because I can buy health!"

What?!
A hundred thousand for those mattresses?
She must be insane

Right after she left my home, I almost shouted at my dad

"RM270 for a pair of socks?! I don't blame you, because they helped you and mum to wear that just now, we don't have choices but to buy from them, but I don't think this thing worths RM270. One pair of socks only costs RM7-RM15"

"I know she is not sincere, I paid to make them leave, do you think she will leave without selling anything to us? I met Tee 3 years ago, and I didn't meet his wife for 8 years, the money is just to 'give face' to my friend."

"But the mattress costs RM18,000 for one! Don't tell me you wanna buy it to 'give face'...RM36,000 can buy a car already..."

"Hahaha, we are not insane, RM18,00o for a mattress? Don't be silly" mum said

After a while, my parents left home and I'm typing this

I don't believe in them, if that mattress is that good, Are there any rooms for doctors in the future?
Silly!

Want good health?
Okay!
Do more exercises and eat more organic foods!

Bored...not going anywhere today

Interview, car towed, movie

Wednesday, the job interview took me one and a half hours, mum fetched me there, and she waited in a cafe nearby...it was a rainy day. Poor her, she shouldn't fetch her daughter, she has 1 Mahjong invitation and Karaoke session with friends, but canceled because of me :(

Mum is really worried and care for me, I know this very well :) She brought me for lunch and fetched me to college, because I wanted to meet my module facilitator Mr Anand about my dissertation.

I asked mum when my order came:

"Mum, you fetched me here and waited for more than an hour, now waiting for me to finish up my food, after this drop me off to college then only you go home, are you tired? Actually I could take public transport.."

"Haha, I'm used to it, it's better than I sit at home, I can always go out with my friends, don't worry"

This is my mum :))

The interview was considered "OK", just the job scope isn't what I've been expected. Anyway, I don't think I can start working on April or May, because right after I met Mr. Anand, I realised the submittion deadline is 15th of May, not September. Sigh...the last time when I asked him the same question, he told me it's anytime before September. But he didn't say if I submit on September, my graduation would be next year not this year. So I have to rush for May.

I will have to be extra hardworking in these 2 months, it's time to chase lazy bugs away, Hahaa :P

I stayed in the library till 7pm, Kevin took me from college, his drove his mum's car Wira, we thought to watch 10,000BC in a cinema nearby. Who knows...the car's engine was overheat, we stopped in a bus lane nearby Jalan Aloh, next to Swiss Garden Hotel. Good GOD! It was raining somemore. What causes a car to overheat?

I called my dad, he asked us to wait until the engine is cooling down (at least 45 mins), and add some water after that. We took water in the hotel's restroom, ran here and there for around 30 mins just to fill it up (I don't know what that thing is called, let's say it's " engine's container"). Imagine, it was raining and we only have two 500ml mineral water bottles with us, we ran a few times to the hotel to get water. It was very tiring and we didn't use an umbrella most of the time.

Finally, DONE!
We got in car happily, thought
"Haha! It's time for a movie!"

The next second...we found out the car's battery was dead.
Maybe because they rarely use the car, or maybe because we switched on the emergency lights for more than an hour without starting up the car.

LOL!
It was really hilarious, I felt like laughing, I don't think I was sad at that moment, I just felt it was damned funny. We spent more than an hour to wait for the engine to cool down, and we ran to the hotel several times to get water, didn't even bother to take an umbrella, and now...the battery is dead.

Kevin was upset, he decided to call Great Eastern, they have got tow services for 24 hours. At the mean time, we ate in a Malay Cafe opposite the hotel.

The tow truck arrived in 45 mins, the rain just never stop!
I stared at the huge tow truck, started to smile...then laughed a little.

Kevin was excited too, he asked me
"Do you bring your camera?"

"Ooh my god...I didn't!!!" I extremely regret I didn't bring it.

We got in the tow truck, to me it's a very big monster car, and it's lots of fun getting in a tow truck for the 1st time of my life, but I will not want to get in a tow truck for the second time.

The car was towed to Kevin's office, Kevin's car Audi was in the office,
"Why you didn't drive your own car?"

"Erm...I don't know"

(-_-")... ......

Anyway, we didn't go home immediately, we went for a movie instead.

10,000BC!!!
The movie is quite nice :)))
But I still prefer The Spiderwick Chronicles that we watched last week.

The next day, Kevin has a fever and I have got flu, funny time...

18, March 08

Hwei Chen (she works as a recruitment consultant) has arranged a job interview for me tomorrow, it's a marketing executive post, hmmm, I'm not sure I will like that job, ooh well...

I didn't go for any interviews for the past 2 years, but I am not nervous...weird huh?

Anyway, maybe I won't take that job, but Hwei Chen's call made me happy, she said

"Hey dear!! Good morning, I have a very good news to tell you, are you free for an interview tomorrow? Did I tell you my colleagues sent a lot of resume to the client, but all rejected! The client is choosy, but...who knows the client saw your resume today and...they want to meet you!"

"Ooh..really?" I didn't sound excited

"GOD! I thought you will be very happy, but you sound OK only?! Don't you feel happy?" she was a bit disappointed

"OOh, YES YES YES, thank you sooooooo much, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy right now!"

"It's too late to act happy now, hahaha!"

Seriously I think she is happier than me :P
She is just too cute ;)))

In fact I'm considering to start an online business (small and simple one la..), if I'm stuck in a permanent job, I don't think I have any more time/energy for that.

I told my mum my ideas, she is so supportive!
Thank you mum :>

...But right now, at this moment... I want to go for culinary art or bakery classes badly!
Hahaa!

violet, Nov 2006

This photo was taken some time ago, I miss my long straight hair... :)

Conflicts

My last weekend was not too great.

Michelle is unhappy with the performance of the maid, she thought to bring babies over before she goes to work every morning. She thought my mum would look after the babies.

The distance is quite far between her house and mine, she needs to leave home earlier if she followed the plan. Michelle called my mum last Saturday morning.

"Hue Ru cried for an hour last Tuesday, the maid totally neglected Hue Ru until Hue Ru vomited what she ate earlier, I saw from the CCTV"

What was the maid doing at that moment?
She was relaxing at home, did nothing!

My mum was so pissed off, she blamed Michelle for working,

"You should look after the babies at home! Why still wanna work for others? You see, bad things happened now! You should have listened to me, not to employ a maid!"

"...okay...can I bring the maid and babies here every morning? I will fetch them back in the evening..."

"No, this is not a good idea...I don't like the maid, I'm afraid I will go nuts if I saw her face everyday" mum said

"Can I just bring Hue Ru?"
The maid only likes Didi, she doesn't like Hue Ru, because Didi loves to smile.

"No...it's the same, I don't have much time taking care of Hue Ru...besides, Violet is looking for a job, she couldn't help much"

I know what my mum is thinking
She thinks she has already taken care of everyone of her daughters and son, now she is not young, she wants her friends and freedom. It's time for her to do what she likes.

Mum isn't often home in the morning and afternoon, she sacrificed her time when we were young, now Michelle is married and we have grown up, she prefers to have her own time now. She goes wherever she wants; she does everything she likes. Looking after babies is totally out from her plan.

She is right, I don't blame her.
But the conflicts between mum and Michelle are still there.

Michelle should respect my mum's decisions, at the same time, mum should understand Michelle's situation.

Michelle called me after she talked to mum, she cried and I hardly heard what she wanted to tell. She was disappointed...

She didn't mean to ask my mum to look after babies until they are grown up, Hue Ru will go to nursery school next year, what she wants is merely mum's few months time to take care of Hue Ru.

Michelle thought mum doesn't love her and her babies, thus refused to help.

I tried to console Michelle, she was really upset and refused to listen to me. She hung up the phone, later when I wanted to call her, she didn't pick up the phone. She only texting me

"I need some time to calm down, don't call me until I contact you.."

That was the first time she rejected phone calls from me, of course I was deeply hurt.

I called mum (I was outside), I didn't know why I cried when I hear her voice.

"Mum..could you please just look after Hue Ru for a few months?"

"Yes yes, I will!" mum didn't really happy

Again, Michelle didn't pick up my calls.

Last night at home, I called her again

Michelle was still a bit upset but considered okay already, at least she picked up my call. She said she will bring Hue Ru when she's free...

My mum was frustrated, apparently she really doesn't want to help Michelle up.

"I've already sacrificed my time when I was young, just to take care of everyone of you! Now I don't want to be a baby sitter anymore. Why don't you just sleep in Michelle's place if you care so much of the babies?"

Now, she blamed me for talking too much.

I kept quiet, I don't think I can help much in this case.

Mum continued,
"She is married now, she should learn to take care of her family members. I've done my responsibility as a mother, now it's her turn! Don't ask me to do things that I don't like. She seldom gives me pocket money, she only loves herself. She works and saves money for her own travel expenses, but didn't think of me as her mum"

This is a very traditional thinking that once their daughters and sons are working, they should give pocket money to their parents. Michelle's thinking is different, she thinks, to give pocket money isn't a very good idea, she prefers to spend a very good dinner with my parents or buy some good things for them.

Mum doesn't agree with this, she told me she will appreciate more if Michelle gives her pocket money, because she is not working! I should have told Michelle about this long time ago, it's me to blame, they don't understand each other. That's why there are conflicts.

Sigh...I just hope for the very best. After all, we are family..

Latest update:
The problem is solved!
Michelle and mum are fine now, so...Hue Ru will be my regular guest from tomorrow onwards :))

Niece and nephew

Kind of miss my niece and nephew, just visited them with my mum today.
Nothing much, just have some photos to share :)))
Love them, muackssss!



Hue Ru

I'm not a good auntie, gagaga :P





She loves to take photos :))

Jewel of the Tibet, The musical

Just went for a musical last night with Kevin, the musical was fantastic, I love their songs, musics, singings, costumes, backdrops...

Yesterday was the official opening ceremony of JEWEL OF TIBET, the musical. We reached about 7:20pm, because we heard from Kevin's friend, the musical was started at 7:30pm, but it wasn't. We waited and waited..I was starving, I skipped my lunch. I thought there would be some refreshments in the lobby, apparently I was terribly wrong.

The lobby was crowded, and I didn't see foods...

The staricases to the heaven, haha! :P



Some venerable ones



The one who I can laugh at :P



Me



Our tickets





Wowww...
These things are taller than me :P





Some booths, selling souvenir





We bought a CD!
It's the soundtrack of the musical ;))



Bible of the night... :P



We got in the hall at 8pm

The man who looked at my camera is Dato Yew Teong Look ;))








This is a musical about the story of Princess Wen Cheng 文成公主 journey from China to Tibet to marry King Songsten Gampo. The story is more than a thousand years ago.

Princess Wen Cheng went on an toilsome three-year journey to Tubo (Tibet), she crossed deserts, went through hailstorms and snow-capped mountains, just to fulfil the arrangement of marriage to the Tubo's king, Songsten Gampo.

Princess Wen Cheng is a generous lady, she brought the teachings of Buddhism to Tubo, she was active in spreading the Buddha Dharma, and she brought her knowledges on the latest Chinese technologies in medicines, agriculture, textiles, etc. With her wisdom and tenderness, she captured the hearts of the nations in Tubo.

Jewel of Tibet, a tribute to Princess Wen Cheng, comprises of 150 minutes of original music, dance, and stage extravaganza produced by an entirely Malaysian cast and crew. It is a spectacular million Ringgit creation by Musical On Stage Production, the same creative team behind the internationally acclaimed Siddhartha the musical and Above Full Moon the musical.

This splendid musical is directed and scripted by Ho Lin Huay, with music by Imee Ooi, and dance choreography by Chan Soo Leng and Michelle Yong Soo Fon. The 40 cast members represent the best from the Malaysian pop, classical, and art scenes, including famous vocalist such as Yang Wei Han, Paulway Chew, Angel Lee, Ciang Teng, James Loong, Lim Cheng Hock, Winson Voon and Amy Wang.

From the majestic Tang to the vast mystical land of Tibet, Jewel of Tibet artistically depicts a historical epic with enchanting music and songs, intricate dance movements, spectacular scene change, backdrops and props, and over 200 sets of newly designed colorful ethnic costumes from traditional Tang China and Tibet.

I enjoyed the musical, but things would be excellent if I weren't empty stomach, hahaha! Guess what...I caught Kevin sleeping in a few scenes. He was tired la...he sleeps late almost everyday, couldn't blame him.

Some photos, after the show

Overall, the musical was great, I'm glad I didn't miss it :)))

I wish I'm a Jumper!

Have you watched the movie, Jumper?

I just watched it today, and...I'm totally in love with this crazy movie :P

I wish, I wish, I wish...
I'm a jumper!

Egypt, Tokyo, Paris, London, New York, Africa, Vienna, Barcelona, Holland...are just a blink away, I can travel the world with no money in my pocket :P

But I'm not as silly as David in the movie, I'm not going to rob banks ;)

Alright, what do I do if I'm a jumper?

1. I will bring my family members, loved one Kevin, Cynthia, Ket, Hwei Chen, Kim Wai, Wai San, Annie...etc to travel with me, teleport them all! And ask them to pay with credit cards :P
LOL!
Hmmm well, the true happiness is sharing ;)
I love them ^^

2. I will organize private tours for rich men, earn money and donate money to third world countries. This is no joke, I've always wanted to be a warranter.

This is quite a impossible task, my 1st ambition is to travel around the world before I step in the coffin. I have to work harder to make my dream comes true...so, no time to be a warranter. Maybe next life.. ;)

3. I can be superman's partner, to save the world together :P

4. Have a look at Mr. President's room

5...
6......

Sigh, to many to be listed, I'm too greedy :'P
but I don't have to pay for day dreaming


Today, I watched this movie alone, I didn't watch movie alone for a long long time. There are a lot of things have changed. Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. I have had a very clear objective in my life previously, but these 2 years, I'm totally confused.

Few years back, if someone ask me what my ambition is, I will say, I want to be a very successful business woman, I want to have a beautiful house, car, babies...etc.
But today, I don't know.
I've lost my interests on many things
I don't have a ambition (..maybe I still have)

People always say we will know what to do when we grow older, but I don't think so
I'm getting confused and confused everyday, do you believe if I tell you I don't love money?
Yeah I know, who doesn't love money?
I don't, I'm a weirdo

This is very confusing
I love traveling, but traveling is a very expensive hobby, but how do I live with it if I don't work my ass out? Money will not fall down from the sky, flight tickets are not free, even if it's free, I still have to pay for the airport tax.
What about accommodation?
What about transportation?
What about foods?
What about my mum, my father?
I hope to give them the very best of life, I really love them..
I always think, I couldn't life without her

Thus, this is why I wish I'm a jumper, haha ;))

Anyway, I really wish I would find my objectives of life very soon, hopefully things will be changed to good ones when I work. I believe Kevin will lead me.. :)

God bless..

Weng's birthday

Do you still remember your 21st birthday celebration?

I do...
I remember
I didn't celebrate it.
No birthday party, no cakes..
Only greetings from family members and some of my close friends.
And a present from Michelle

My 2 older sisters held their 21st birthday parties, my father even spent time on lucky draw and games, invited all of my relatives and friends to celebrate the special day.

But I don't think there's something wrong on my 21st birthday; I don't think my parents don't love me.
Because I was the one who said:
"It's not a big deal, it's only a birthday. I don't want to celebrate"

Today is my brother's 21st birthday, mum bought 2 slices of cakes and my oldest sister Michelle stopped by, she bought a bucket of KFC. We didn't hold a party, not to mention invite our relatives or friends.

This time, I feel something is wrong.

Few weeks ago, before Chinese New Year. My brother, Weng and I had a conversation.
He told me he doesn't think my father would organise a birthday party for him. I didn't say much...I only said
"It's only a birthday, I didn't celebrate my 21st birthday too, don't put it in heart.."

He just looked at me and smile...looking at him, I felt like crying.

Weng is the youngest one in my family, he is the only son.
4 daughters and a son...
People might think he has all of my parents' loves..
Well, only God knows

My father has placed way too high of expectation on Weng...
I don't feel like talking more about today.


What is birthday to you?
Birthday is the day of one's birth.

Before I Met Kevin, birthday is really nothing special to me, I could spend that day alone, hanging out and even watched movie alone.

Until I met Kevin, I started to feel birthday is a special day.
My first birthday celebration with Kevin, was on my Birthday eve, we didn't meet on my birthday.

2nd year of my birthday, it was Thursday. We didn't countdown because he was busy with his work, his court case.
I was very upset but I didn't blame him, after all he spent his whole weekend with me, and tried his best to make me happy, so I only said:
"I hope you have time to accompany me on my next birthday"

This year,
the 3rd year of my birthday, it was a Friday
We counted down together on Thursday, and didn't meet on my birthday.
Friday night, I celebrated with my close friends, Hwei Chen and Ket.
On Saturday, he brought me a Fujitsu laptop as a present, he found me with Zoe and Livon in The Pavilion. Hoped I will forgive him on his absence on Friday night.

I knew he would buy a laptop for me, so this is not a surprise.
To be frank I was a little disappointed on my birthday, he said he could join me if I wish, but I thought he should spent more time on his court cases. Clients have high hopes on him. He did nothing wrong, he's just working his best for our future, he didn't mean to neglect me.

Anyway, I really understand the feeling of being neglected.
I hope my brother wouldn't feel that today.

I hope he understand we really do love him...and get to find his angel soon



Hey Weng, you are a big boy now!
Happy 21st Birthday!
May your wishes come true!
Love ya~

Ipoh Trip

These are some of the photos I took last month, 17th of February.

It was a 2 hours plus drive from KL to Ipoh, Ipoh is a very nice place to hunt for good foods, but this time we didn't try their famous local dish, Ipoh Nga Choi Chicken.

We didn't go anywhere and not to mention taking much photos on the first day because we reached Ipoh around 1opm, it was raining heavily in KL, that's our trip was delayed. After we rent a hotel in the city centre, we went for supper in Yee Mui Jie Kopitiam, we stayed in the Kopitiam until 3am.

The next morning, I got up at 12:15pm...OOH GOD! My mobile's alarm was not working (or maybe I switched it off when I dreamed), I didn't have any idea why it's not working. But I was glad we requested for late check-out last night. I left 45 minutes to shower and pack! Quite challenging huh? :P

Just woke up.



Kevin, driving to Ipoh Parade.



I've always wanted to go Ipoh Parade, we passed by this shopping mall a year ago when we were driving back from Penang to KL, didn't get in. So this time I thought to visit it.

The management arranged lion and dragon dance to welcome me......







HAHAHA!!! Kidding only :P











We had our lunch in Kopitiam Junction, or Junction Kopitiam, whatever





My mango shaved ice and black pepper chicken chop







Kevin's sweet and sour chicken chop with rice





After lunch, we walked around the mall, in fact, nothing special in Ipoh Parade...I thought it's a very nice shopping mall, hahaa!

Suddenly, I saw this...Ang Pao soccer ball! :P
Very creative!
