Say bye-bye to 2008, and say hi-hi to 2009

Good bye year 2008.

It was a dramatic year for me. So many changes happened in merely a year, till I find it at times life has been pushing my limit again and again to test if I am still able to stand strong after taking all the blows.

Despite changing a new job in the early of the year 2008, I have changed a lot as well; especially since ever I have ended a relationship that was last about 4++ years; it's destined that I have to change to cope with my long lost singlehood - change my lifestyle, change my thinking, change my social life, change my personality, change change change.... first time ever I can manifest the true meaning of the quote "change is the only constant".

Frankly it's kinda weird to be single again as I have been in relationship almost continuously for more than 7 years. Instead of cling to grief, I distract myself in getting my house done and cultivate new hobbies; quote from Love Guru - distraction make you free from emotional pain. There I start to meet a lot of new people and explore many new things in life. I started to pick up my saxophone again too.

For year 2008, It is a significant achievement for me to "end my nomad life" by shifting in my new house; it's nothing better than your dream comes true, it worth all the money I spent and fuss that I have been through. You won't understand how keen I wanted to own a house instead of just tumpang here and there at my siblings' place and always looking for new room to rent whenever my rental contract ends. Anyway, I truly appreciate all the helps from my family and friends, else I don't think I am capable in getting my house done all by myself, those are the person that I can always count on. :)

Then I was in love again in year 2008; but it's just gone too fast before I can get rid of the phobia in relationship. Although it is just a short period of time but it was quite hurtful, and that's why I changed again. I think it's getting harder for me to comes down from the fences now and I find it hard to believe in relationship again. Both the relationships that ended this year has dried up my tear. But thank god I am still in one piece and I have moved on. At this point in time, I am enjoying my singlehood, enjoying the freedom I have and enjoying spending more precious moments with family and friends.

The icing on the cake, I have met a lot of new friends in 2008. Although they are new faces that appear in my life, but most of them has given me lots of support while I am feeling down. Besides, I am catching up with many old friends again and had lots of great time together. I have spent more times with my family too; the endless shoppings, the musical plays and concerts we attended, the birthday parties of all my nephews and nieces, and the fun trips and outings we had. Of course there are more to come in year 2009! And also it meant a lot to me when my brother and his family shifted back to Malaysia after so many years. I guess my parents will be happy with his decision if they can still know about this somewhere up there.

So it's year 2009, and now I'm not just able to see but touch the light at the end of the tunnel! Definitely 2009 will be a better year for all of us, let's say bye bye to 2008, and say hi hi to 2009! \^o^/

Long Holiday

I am on a long holiday which will be last for 16 days. Feel like having a school term break now. Hehe. However, I feel exhausted everyday although I am on a holiday, even have lesser sleeping than usual working days.

Last weekend I was busy celebrating winter solstice with my ex-colleagues at my place, I prepared tong yuen and steamboat with helps from KTV, it was very fun and the food not bad too (hehe, I prepared it!). Then the next day straight bound to southern part of Malaysia with my colleagues for our Jalan-jalan Cari Makan trip. First we reached Seremban, Malacca subsequently, following by Muar and Pulau Kukup. We touched down at KL on 24th since each of us have own plan for the Christmas eve celebration whereas mine is watching the Mama Mia play with my sister and cousin.

Then on the 25th I went shopping with my family like a zombie, and finally able to catch some good sleep on this day. The next day I went for movie "Ip Man" with Eric, I almost overslept even though the movie is in the afternoon, haha, anyway, it is a nice movie la, one of the best among the HK film, I had a great time. Then after the movie, I was again being pulled for Mahjong session at Alvin's place till this morning, somemore lost money wei. We played until 5am and slept for few hours and then rushed out again with KTV to shop for my furniture.

Now I have few days for me to take rest until my next northern trip on the coming week (hopefully). Actually there is a long to-do list awaiting me for this long break, but seems I don't have time for it. Really gotta tone it down a bit, else I won't be able to do anything productive during this long sweet holiday.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Mama Mia! Two thumbs up!

It's Christmas! I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I have came out a list of new year resolution and all I need is the determination, I really wish 2009 will be a better year for myself and all of my friends.

I'm not a Christian, thus it is always a a ritual for me to count down Christmas at the club, but this year is different. I just came back from the Mamamia musical play with my sister and cousin. The show was great, but I am very tired coz I was out of town since Monday and just came back from Pulau Kukup in the afternoon. I will stop for now and again, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!!

Christmas present for me from my colleague Danny - a CD of Jason Mraz, somemore special edition with the t-shirt wei! Really thanks a lot! I love it so much. Thanks again Danny.

Fall ill

I had high fever on and off for few days in the past week. I was on a half day MC on Monday, then MC again on Tuesday, then get back to work on Wednesday but fever again in the afternoon thus getting another half day MC. Even until today, still I am not fully recover and panting even just walk few steps of the staircase, and also feeling fatigue, dizzy and joint aches.

I've never fall ill in such serious condition before, in fact, I seldom fall ill last time, now I can really feel the decrease in my health. That day I got fever of close to 40 degree celcius, home alone yet all I have is instant noodle; I have no choice but merely take the milo and sleep for whole day. I feel like my head is going to explode and whole body is burning, man it's really torturing. Now it raise my awareness of how important to have a healthy body.

Since I'm alwasy active in sport, I guess I am weak now probably due to I eat out everyday; thus now I wanna set one of my new year resolution to be more health conscious and pick up some cooking skill to make some simple dish for myself. Chrys has provided me some recipe for chinese herb soup and I will definitely try it out very soon.

Picnic @ Sg. Chongkak with Sayangan kids


Su Yin invited Peter, Alfred and myself together with another 30 peoples to bring the kids from Rumah Sayangan for a picnic at Sg. Chongkak. Nothing much need to be done by us except preparing food and have fun together with the kids.

We reached Rumah Sayangan at Cheras in the morning; after having our self introduction and ice breaking with the kids, we started our journey to Hulu Langat. The waterfall is just about 30 minutes drive away from Cheras, this place is relaxing, the chill water is crystal clear and you can hear the bird chirping and wind chimes. Everyone really enjoyed themselves very much including myself.

Nice waterfall


Off we go for the games

everyone was having fun. And there are bubbles too.

Splash~~

Peter and me with John Wong, a smart kid that can talk non-stop. :)

Alfred - my fei lou si fu while I was in Scope International.

终于。。

这一天终于到来,事实已赤裸裸的摆在眼前了。我以为我可以承受的,没想到我确实高估了自己。

我到底怎么了?就算我可以在众人面前如何掩饰悲伤,但是当夜深人静时,还是不能自己的忆起往事。还要撑到什么时候?很累了,但是难道我有脆弱的权利吗?
