Simple but happy day for me~
Tuesday, July 25, 2006
Here I am at my work place on the second day of work. Listening to the songs I have in my thumb drive. I’ve already completed two tasks at the moment. Nothing much left to be done. Just waiting for my Manager from US to reply the e-mails. Some of my accounts are not up yet and I do not have the access level to the files at the moment. They are setting my accounts though. So far I have my e-mail address under the company name. They ordered for me a laptop which will be arriving tomorrow. They’ll set everything up for me… that’s what they told me.
Ah… finally she replied. I think she is checking my assignment as I type this. In the office at the moment: from my department only me and the other department a few other people. My working hours is rather different though, 12pm to 930pm. So simply saying I do not have a chance to visit the shopping malls that are usually open from 11am to 10pm. Most of my upcoming weekends are already filled up. But I like it though, other people go for lunch then I arrive at work. I’m planning to fill up the mornings as well so I can kill two birds with one stone. That will depend on the workload though. I’ll see how it goes.
Despite this, I am happy at the moment not just because of the friendly colleagues I have, the private desk I am assigned to but also because of the great people in my life. I guess it is true for a simple person like me; simple things in life will make me smile. One of the simple yet happy days for me~ Okay, that’s all from me at the moment. Have a good evening. Bubbye~

Racial Harmony @ Taman Warisan
Sunday, July 23, 2006
Harlow~ Alright... i just gt back from the Racial Harmony Celebration at Taman Warisan (Malay Heritage Centre). There were station games such as "kuti-kuti", capteh, five stones, congkak and etc.
To my embarassment, I didnt know how to play Congkak. I did play it a few times on my Nokia phone before but never on a real congkak. Today was the first day I learnt how to play Congkak and I found out that it is rather interesting coz it helps u relax in a way. Simple yet fun. Now I like to play congkak. He..he.. just like five stones... sometimes u just dun get enough of it. It the simple things in life that we should cherish. Thanks to my friends who taught me just now. (",)
Overall the event was rather interesting and fun. Now I am rather shagged... wanna go catch a nap... after I finish a thank you card. Alright.. catch u guys around. Have a nice day ahead.

Malam Budaya~
Saturday, July 22, 2006
Hi again~ Ya... just got back from the Malam Budaya event which was held at Zhenghua C.C just now. Had my dinner with Fifi at GreenRidge Banquet. Hmm.. the first time I got back there this year. Place didnt change much though.
Okay... back to the Malam Budaya... since it is a Malay event... i will try to blog it in Malay~ Ahem.. Bismillah~
Acara dimulakan dengan permainan gamelan oleh murid-murid dari BPGH.... hmm.. selepas itu.. okay... cannot make it... it sounds too formal... back to English... he.. he... sorry...
The event started with the traditional gamelan music performed by B.P.G.H... That my personal favourite actually~ Umm.. if I type every single performance it will be so boring... so let me summarise... here we go... there were traditional dances, dikir barat, play/drama, percussions, sajak recital, talk by Proffesor Ian... which I find rather true... and more dance. Hope i didnt miss out anything.
Overall.... i grade it as 6 out of 10. The programme flow was great but the organisation of the event itself is a "mess". There were no ushers or signs to lead us to the event hall. The audience... hmm.. rather "rowdy" i must say-should have crowd control. The main thing that bothers me is the way they show their thanks to their sponsors. Ya.. the sponsor were given gift but it seem that some of the main sponsor do not even know that they were supposed to receive any tokens. Anyway... since they are the sponsors... they should have been seated in front with the VIP guest. The host... hmm.. from polite to unprofessional. Seriously... i find that the language he used was rather inappropiate for such an event when the main reason for the event is "Bulan Bahasa". Other than that i think there are many areas where they can improve on.
I'm sorry if i offend any of the people by stating my opinion above about the event. I believe in giving the best a guest should have. Sponsors especially... if u treat them badly once, they might not sponsor you again. So...please be careful and be more courteous. It is just human nature. Improvements can be made.
The good things... programme flow was good. Food is nice. Place was nicely decorated. Once again... overall it is okay. A job well done. Credits to the performers and the crews. I enjoyed the show. For the long hours they have put in~ a bow for u~ thanks for the great show.
Okay... tml another event... lets see how it goes. Thats all from me for now~ Bubbye~

sorry ppl~
Hey u all~
I know i have been away and not been updating my blog recently. I'm sorry n thanks to you guys who pester me to update it... :P He..he..
Anyway, I'm feeling rather "neither here nor there" at this moment. Trying to make life easy for myself but as usual life has its obstacles. I'm trying my best to look at it from a positive point of view. Don't worry I am never the sort that run from my problems. Anyway, i managed to set certain decisions last night and solved some problems today. Had my shower after the dance class just now and now enjoying my second cup of hot tea. Hot tea after a warm shower... thats my peace of mind from everything right now.
Just a brief update of what I am up to at the moment...
1) been attending dance class @ Moral Welfare Home for performance on 29 n 30 July with the Mendaki staff and some volunteers
2) got a full time job that is going to start this Monday... hmm i wonder how it will be. Working hours is very different though... 12pm to 930pm.
3) weekends: usually out on events... either Clubilya or Mendaki.. both or neither.. depends
Okay... this weekend events...
-badminton...
-malam budaya... i wonder how it will be... looking forward to it~ bringing my cousin along n meeting some of my volunteer buddies there~
n sunday..
-at kampong glam... okay cool~
then comes monday work~ yea~ just need a fresh start~
Okay thats all from me at the moment... wanna chat with my friends on msn~ Have a great day ahead~ (",)v

My Home Day~
Friday, April 28, 2006
Finally~ one 'off' day for me to relax my mind at home. Nonetheless, tomorrow is one of the hectic days, then I'll have no plans till 6 May for the time being. Yet to purchase my 'court' shoes for the part time job though~ hmm.. but a little tight on cash at the moment.
My plans for tmrw are:-
- 1030hrs to 1300hrs: Chill Out Cooking Demo & Makan Session by the P.R Girls and some volunteers
- 1330hrs to 1600hrs: Volunteer Orientation @ Mendaki (New Batch)
- 1600hrs onwards : Nyai's house Kenduri
So this is not as hectic as some of the days where I have to be at more than 1 event in a day. Rather tiring though, but what I've achieved at the end of the day is priceless. Other than a bigger network of friends, I've learned new things like for example yesterday evening- rock climbing... that, I'll tell u more about it later. You get to have backstage passes to meet celebrities eg. the roadshow last month where the Anugerah winners autographed our badge and took pics with them. We had our Henna booth as well where we did henna painting for the public. Cool~
In addition to that, we get special invites to workshops where by right, if taken outside requires payment up to $450 per person n yet we get to go for free. There are so many things that I've learned so far and the best reward I've received at the end of the day is improve my life skills towards people.
Actually this is just volunteer work in action... to tell u the truth, I tried to keep this a secret from most of my friends as they might think if I were to publish this in my blog, my reason would be for me to get credit, sympathy or fame from them but that is not my reason. I've decided to publish this post today about volunteer work so that I can get more of my friends to get acquainted in volunteer work itself.
It may sound like a death sentence to some but everyone is different so everyone has different reasons perceptions of things. So if u think you might consider being a volunteer feel free to check out this websites:
Mendaki: http://www.mendaki.org.sg
Clubilya: http://www.clubilya.org.sg
If u can't decide but u just wish to check out what they have to offer without obligations, feel free to register as a mendaki volunteer first or even at Clubilya itself. They'll tell you more. Just to note, Mendaki is more to a Malay Muslim Organisation and Clubilya are open to all. All races and religions are welcome.
If you are not so busy and have a few days or just a day to spare and don't want to feel bored just sitting at home, all you have to do is just reply to the e-mail about the event that you are interested in once registered as a volunteer. To register itself is the first stepping stone towards what difference you'll make to other people's life. Above all~ my say: just follow your heart if you wish to carry on burning that little flame of volunteerism spirit that everyone has in them. Its amazing how one can work wonders~
Okay enough said, just want to share about my rock climbing experience yesterday. That was my first time rock climbing. Trying to kill two birds with one stone, trying to learn new things and slowly get rid of my phobia of heights. So just gave myself that 'c'mon you can do it' confidence and just climbed with instints. It was so great once i reach the top. The feeling is just indescribable~ The getting down part wasn't as hard as i though it would be. So at the end of it all, I conquered 2 walls~ yeah man~
One more thing, if u are reading my blog and u happen to like playing soccer with me and other girls, please leave me an e-mail or a tag kay. Wish to play soccer~ :) Okay i guess thats all for now. Tata~ Have a nice day ahead~

Wonderful Good Friday
Saturday, April 15, 2006
Hi again~ it was good friday yesterday and it was a wonderful day. Didn't expect that trip to leave me smiling at the end of the day. So.. if you wish to know... this is what happened~
Earlier that morning at about 10+ , I've met my friends to go to the Book Fair at Expo. Upon arrival to the Book Fair, there weren't that much people, so we went roaming around in search of books that we might purchase. The fair was cool~ lots and lots of books, magazines and even comics. They also included stationaries, motivational posters and even bookmarks to give the 'icing on the cake'.
After making our purchases we headed to the next exhibition room holding the 'John Little Sale'. The usual stuff that you can see at any John Little outlet. Just the price... a slight difference- nothing major to look for unless u haven't made the necessary purchases during your shopping trip.
Leaving Expo, we decided to go to the Changi Airport to go overseas~ He.. he.. ya rite~ but we did go to Changi Airport. The initial plan was to have lunch there and leave. So, when we reached Airport, we were at Terminal 2. Smiling and grinning, we went to venture Terminal 2 in search of a good place to have our lunch. Terminal 2 still gives me the awe of how wonderful Singapore can be. And of course, there were quite a number of men and ladies in uniforms walking around. The guys as per normal were so smart~ He..he..
Then we headed to Terminal 1 taking the connecting train from Terminal 2. We settled for Burger King which is just beside the Arrival Hall. So sat there, talking and talking and we saw this kid looking and fidgeting on front of the menu board~ just in front of where we were eating our lunch. One of my friend exclaimed that the kid was so cute... if he has a brother... he..he.. Then when we turned, we saw his brother~ aww... he was so handsome... sungguh handsome~ very handsome~ kacak sungguh~ I think he was about our age. Gosh man~ my adrenaline went high for that few moments~ His mom was also pretty... and from the language they spoke, they were from Indonesia. Just arrived in Singapore~ He..he..
He and his family then walked past up going to a table to settle down. One of my friend and I were so excited~ We were like giggling and smiling so much~ We then made a move to find the viewing gallery. I was as usual looking for Royal Brunei Airplane. The flight was scheduled at 1.40pm. When we reached there, the plane was still there... about to depart. When i saw the aeroplane I was so happy...excited... and just so glad *all smiles. It was so near to us and my friends started teasing... ah ha... Brunei~
No matter what~ i was still so happy... we watched as the plane took off from the airport and soon it was goodbye but we were all left with smiles on our faces. Its so great.. and that guy was so handsome.. he..he.. and the plane.. it was Royal Brunei~ ahhh... gosh man.. the people who went with me... was also wonderful~
I really didnt expect that a simple trip can leave me smiling so much for the day. I guess.. it is the simple things in life that can make one feel appreciative of what they have. For example the Royal Brunei plane.. it's not as if i never seen a plane before but there were reasons for me to appreciate that plane. =) I'll always remeber yesterday... one of the wonderful days in my life. I guess thats all for now. Bubbye~

another certification day...
Thursday, March 09, 2006
Gosh man... right now in school lab... not even paying attention to what the lecturer is talking about. Most of us are like so drained after the long week we had. Yesterday we had 3 quiz and we did passed everything illegally. He..he.. you might know what I mean. But anyway... i am not really proud of it or anything. It's just that I have to go home and really prepare for next week's exam- the certification test.
The lesson cum revision is so long. From 9am to 4pm. It was such a dread for us to come to school at 9am till 4pm from Monday till next week. At least ct is in the same class as me. If not, I wun even know how I'll survive. I am so tired~
Perhaps its because I have been going out almost everyday after school. Monday with my cousin, Tuesday with my poly mates... (CT & Zixian) and yesterday with my attachment friend. Today... umm... I just want to go home. I just want to shut my eyes and brain for a while.
Kay, i shall not think about going home first. Its only about 2.07pm.. 2 more long hours to survive. Anyway, i feel like drinking milkshake... chocolate milkshake. Or even ice cream. Umm.. sumthing that will actually melt in my mouth... ah ha... chocolates... maltesers.. hersheys... (drool... drool...) oh gosh.. okay.. tats enough... i am going nuts... he..he.. gtg. Later I'll add in again. Bubbye~

finished tidying up~ finally
Monday, February 20, 2006
Umm.. i just finished tidying up my house basically the living room and my room. Had shower and ate a late lunch. Mom cleaned the kitchen. Pretty tiring considering I've wiped the floors and dust off all the necessary dirt away.I just dun know, i juz couldn't stand a messy place. The house will be in mess if i am not around or away working. I can't be dependent only on my mom and it is true, everyone plays a part in household chores actually. Imagine one person cleaning the whole house, then the other family members just come home and makes a huge mess. If u r the person who've cleaned and tidied the house earlier, yo'll be very pissed off that most of your effort had gone down the drain.
Me, on the other hand, when it comes to my cleaning mood, i'll just clean and clean until everything is spic and span. My sister?... dun need to ask... I've hardly or never see her lift the vacuum or even the broom for the past few months. My brother?... most of the time the mess creator~ Dad on the other hand is also part of the mess creator, he has this habit of irritating us especially when watching tv. He'll use orange seeds or anything small and throw at us. Once or twice is okay but sumtimes, he just gets on my nerves especially when he just ignores the seeds that he had thrown earlier on the floor. The only dependent people in my family is my mom and me.. thats is what my mom always say to me. Umm.. guess this is our life.
Okay, enough about cleaning. After this I've got to get started on my IT3731 revision. The paper is on this coming Wednesday and I can't let myslef down by not doing well in this paper. Actually, i just recalled what else I wanted to say here.
On 19 Feb, a day after my birthday, yesterday.. he..he.. went out with the whole family and had breakfast at tekka. It's been a long time since all of us went out as a family coz usually its either me or my brother away at work. No squabbles or anything like that during the entire trip but was rather okay. After breakfast, walked all the way to Mustafa Centre and did some shopping. Then proceeded to Sim Lim Tower and had lunch at Raffles Hospital Banquet where i had a sumptious meal of chicken chop. Sister ordered chicken noodle and mom had some type of chinese noodle. Yum.. yum.. he..he.. Before we ate, my brother had to leave for work. So left us four. After meal we left at about three and took 170 all the way to ten mile Junction. At ten mile, we did our grocery shopping and gosh.. the trolley was full. Reached home at about 5+ and it was tiring. He..he.. but it was nice in a way that we went out almost the whole day and just spend the day shopping and window shopping. It kept my mind off things for a while and just enjoyed the day. =)
Aight, i gtg and get started on revision. Okay... I'll write to u soon. Tata~ (Umm... i still miss him..) Have a nice day~
