A Life of Bliss

Blogging..

2009-09-22T11:36:00.004+08:00

Darn, just realized that i have not been writing for a long time. Now that i am done with my Saturdays' classes, not to mention the assignments and exams.. i guess i'll have more time for myself.. *wink*

Time flies and we are entering the 4th quarter of year 2009..and without we knowing, we'll be soon busy preparing for year-end trips with family and friends.

It's abit scary though..having time passes by yet there are still tonnes of work to do and dreams to achieve. And time will never wait for us..it's either now or never. Time is life. Wasting time is like wasting your life.

One thing i've learned in life is to appreciate what i have at the moment, or else how can i value what the future has in store for me. What i experience now is a result of the past and what i will experience in the future depends on what i am doing now. If i can make THIS very moment happy, it will eventually increase my chances of having the next moment happy too.. *wink*

Since every situation in life must be faced, and so why not face it sincerely with tlc?

Recent trip with my girlfriends

2009-09-22T10:10:00.061+08:00

huhu..more pics from Broga!!! But this time was with my girlfriends and their mothers.. *mine couldn't make it ='(

Suprisingly, all the mummies are wayyyy fitter than us!! pfft..pfft..

Beautiful scenes

Beautiful hikers *wink*

As you can see from the pic, it was still dark when we arrived. But alas, some were already at the top at 5am!!! Darn..

Nevertheless, the hiking this time was different..another new experience - hiking with torchlight *coz it was really really dark* but lucky this time around, it wasn't muddy =)

*didnt had any ireney fall this trip..weheee*

New Found Love

2009-09-22T09:12:00.029+08:00

'valley..mountain..there is a fountain..' *and the song goes on*

my new passion for mother nature..

Lately i have been having fun hiking and spending weekends with mother nature..which previously was absolutely NOT meine cup of tea! Growing up in the city and having a family where cleanliness is nonnegotiable, i can never imagine myself being in the jungle with all the unknown creatures and bugs *plus mosquitoes* getting my hands and SHOES covered in dirt!

I remember my first trip to Gunung Dato'..throughout the journey hiking up, i was practically folding my arms.. not wanting to touch anything for support, and even if i HAVE TO i will only sacrificed my index finger and thumb. THAT'S ALL ABOUT IT! No other parts..there's no way i'm gonna dirty myself.

And my first trip was like A YEAR AGO.

Until lately, i supposed it was the beautiful scenery posted on the web which caught my attention..sunrise and sunsets especially =)
Before i knew it, i was planning for a trip with my friends to Broga hill..

I guess it was the great company of friends i have which made the trip worth a thousand and not to mention heaps of laughters. And the scenery..SUPERB!! Definitely worth all the sweats, cramps and DIRT!!

First trip to Broga Hill and Sg Gabai

End of the day, we were all exhausted but like i said, it was fun!! =)

*oh, i had my ireney fall (s) - twice at Broga, twice at Sg Gabai..pfft!

"A Shoulder to Cry On" by Tommy Page

2009-06-06T21:35:00.010+08:00

It's so meaningful. I trust you'll love it..

http://video.yahoo.com/watch/1104310/4040858

Life is is full of lots of up and downs,

but the distance feels further,

when it's headed for the ground,

and there's nothing more painful,

than to let your feeling take,

you down.

It's so hard to know,

the way you feel inside,

when there's many thoughts,

and feeling that you hide,

but you might feel better,

if you let me walk with you,

by your side..

And when you need,

A shoulder to cry on,

when you need,

a friend to rely on,

and when the whole world is gone,

you won't be alone,

cause i'll be there,

i'll be your shoulder to cry on,

i'll be there,

i'll be your friend to rely on,

when the whole world is gone,

you won't be alone cause i'll be there..

All of the times,

when everything is wrong,

and you're feeling like,

there's no use going on,

you can't give it up,

i'll help you work it out,

and carry on..

Side by side,

with you till the end,

i'll always be the one to firmly hold your hand,

no matter what there said or done,

our love will always continue on..

Everyone need a shoulder to cry on,

everyone need a friend to rely on,

when the whole world is gone,

you won't be alone,

cause i'll be there,

i'll be your shoulder to cry on,

i'll be there,

i'll be your friend to rely on,

when the whole world is gone you won't be alone,

cause i'll be there,

you have my shoulder to cry on,

i'll be there,

i'll be the one to rely on,

when the whole world is gone,

you won't be alone,

cause i'll be there..

And when the whole world is gone,

you always have my shoulder to cry on.

Maybe we are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.

Maybe there are moments in life when you miss someone--a parent, a spouse, a child.. so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real, so that once they are around, you will appreciate them more.

Maybe you should try to put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person too.

And maybe giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back.
Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart; but if it doesn't, be contented that it grew in yours.

-If I am impatient to experience the results of my efforts, it is like trying to eat an unripe fruit-

Mayday..

2009-05-16T19:59:00.010+08:00

It has been some time now since my last post. Well, life's been great! I'm keeping myself occupied with work, studies and lately dance classes..*wink*

Lots have been happening..did heaps of thinking. About my career path, my time and my objectives in life >> What i wanna achieve..what i wanna do and how should i go about it.. Stuff like that =)
There seems like so many things i wanna accomplish..I realised that opportunity doesn't come often but i know i have to prioritize so that i don't loss my balance again.

Anyway, early this month the girls & I went for a trip to Gua Tempurung. It's was awesome and we had soo much of fun!! Except the scary tragedy happened, but i thank God no one was hurt..indeed a blessing!

Gua Tempurung is not only Peninsular Malaysia's largest limestone cave, but the most amazing thing is that this massive cave is actually more than 400 million years old. Impressive, no? Imagine 400 million years leh..gosh!!

Well,there are several tours available at Gua Tempurung, from short easy walk up to challenging yet exciting treks through underground river. We of coz opt for the latter. It was fun..no regrets at all. We went through icy cold underground stream, crawl through the rocky holes, hurting our knees and even slide down slippery marble stone.. Hours being underground in the cave with no sunlight gave us this different feelings and the moment we saw sunlight, it's like heaven!! I'm not sure if you'd able to get what i mean, unless of course if you yourself experienced it =)
So, for those out there who really enjoys nature adventures, give it a try *wink*

Here's few pics of us..

Just abit of a personal thought of mine:

You will always have two choices in life to decide on how you'd wanna spend your life/day:
1) Be happy and enjoy every bit of it (even if it really stinks!) OR
2) Be miserable and whine about it the whole day..

This life is yours...Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well =)

Till then..signing off *xoxo*

Chasing True Me

2009-02-21T10:30:00.003+08:00

Recently, a new colleague of mine told me that she'll be more than satisfied if she could be 50% of me..curious, i asked WHY?? And the answer i got had to do with my personality... =)

Years back, i remembered myself to be extremely shy, quiet, timid little girl.. and as i grew older, i began to analyse human behaviour and looked at things in a totally different perspective. I learned alot from the consequences of my own character and at one point i told myself that i need to change for good.

BUT, i was wrong again. Instead of becoming better, I changed from a very shy, timid little one to a very short-tempered, strong headed person. I was always in a feeling of resentful anger even in petty matters. Things were not pleasant at all..not only for me, also to those around me especially my loved ones. At times, i even asked myself ..>> Why am i so angry? What's so big deal about it that pisses me so much? Why am i such a nuisance? Why am i hurting those who truly care about me? Why did i say those terrible things? ... i really felt bad after doing those unpleasant things and i remembered crying alone after all the harsh words i'd thrown, but i am stubborn and too egoistic to admit my wrongs.. I am really thankful because i have wonderful family and friends who can be so patient and beared with all my nonsenses. Thank you and i'm sorry..

AGAIN, i re-looked into myself and noticed what a monster i am turning into. I had to change!! I really took time to think the matter through. Finally, i knew who and what kind of person i wanna be..and i'm glad to say It's the me now! Well, the recent comments i got for my appraisal proved it plus, the most important and valid were the ones from my mom.. Of course i'm not saying that i am perfect and i do see there are still alot of room for improvement, but i am just glad i've made the wise decision.. (yea, vanity!!) ^_*

Elegance is a matter of appearance. Poise is beyond appearance. Sincerity comes within. The present moment is part and parcel of how i have lived it then in my past..both my good times and bad times. Tears and heartbreaks did helped me to be become stronger, physically and mentally and it actually helped me to achieve what i want faster. In fact, i really have to admit..Life is indeed interesting!

I let go..forgiveness is ONE gift i gave to myself. Holding all the anger and resentment in me made my life miserable. After letting go, i felt so much in relieved and happier in life and i reckon everyone should do the same too. Forgive and forget is a myth..you may never forget the matter but i strongly believe that one can choose to forgive and move on because I did!! I forgive myself for being such a horrible person and gave myself another chance to change..and i'm happy i did =)

p/s Catherine does strick every now and then but not as often ^^

Sungkai trip on V-day

2009-02-16T21:55:00.021+08:00

Here are the pics of us..it was fun especially having good companions around. Even though due to some reason i am unable to soak myself in the pool, but i did had a blast!

The place where we had our massage and fun time!!

I can only soak my leg..it felt sooo good!

I'm glad my girlfreinds had a blast!! Fun seeing them =)

Yummy!!!

p/s: Special thanks to Yee Teng & Soong Keng for the pics =)

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Filteration

2009-02-14T19:57:00.007+08:00

Life is tough..shit happened, heart broken! Till today i'm still afraid..what if history repeats by itself? What if i make the wrong decision again? I'm definately not a risk-taker in this matter..it's absolutely a no-no!

In fact,things happened recently too..but i know ths is my life and noone would able to protect me, but myself! So, i've made the decision and i will not regret it..it may not be easy, but i will try my best to pull myself together!

Besides this, life has been great! Having my family and my girlfriends around is like a blessing to me. They are awsome!! Spending time with them can really make me forget all the sad and distressing matters in life..thanks alot!!

This year's Valentine's Day, i spent it with those who really cares bout me>my wonderful family and my beautiful girlfriends! I did had a great time..and i'm glad i did not hide myself at home sitting in front of the telly instead =)

I'll sure to upload the pictures of us once i get them..i promise ^_*

I have actually did alot of thinking lately..about my past experiences, current headaches plus my life and my future. There are a few things in life which i am slowly losing faith in, there are also a few things which i am still holding on strongly. Of course, those that i am holding it firmly are things that actually make me happy and pleased; where else those that i'm giving up on are matters which actually had hurt me badly in my past.

However, i do believe everything happened for a reason. So, i'll cherish those happy moments i had and still having, and hope to have more in my life..=)

Life only travel once,
Today's moment will become tomorrow's memories,
Let us enjoy every moment of life,
Regardless if it's good or bad,
Because the gift of life is the life itself.

Take care and cheers..
Happy Valentine's Day, my dear readers!!

Welcome 2009

2009-02-01T16:59:00.009+08:00

After all the flashbacks, i had no choice but to welcome 2009..

Well, i began my year in a fun manner..had a blast with my girlfriends before i kickstart the year of Ox. I can never run away from the fact that it's gonna be a challenging year but, it's a new beginning.. Oh ya, and i'm ONE year older!! (such a painful truth to swallow)

I had revised my new year resolutions..add in a few, remain a few (since i have yet to achieve it)! And we'll see how it goes..=)

As i mentioned before in my previous post, year 2008 had been rough! Too many painful things happened..yet i survived! I did learnt my lesson.. 'Once foolish, twice stupid' In order to not repeat this same old mistakes i've made, i have to change for good. :)

Guess i'll stop here..cheers!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I wish all of you a fruitful year ahead..God bless!
Love,
Irene

Flashback 2008

2009-02-01T15:34:00.018+08:00

Yaiks..i'm so sorry! I know..i know..it has been ages since my last post. My bad for not updating my blog..sorry!

Year 2008 has been a real challenge for me. I had some ups and lots of downs which i hope and pray i'll never have to experience it again. Nevertheless, i'm still glad. All that i've been thru actually did made me stronger and somehow changed me into a better person. I do believe everything happened for a reason..it's another way for me to move forward in life.

Anyway, here's some pics taken last year..all the happy moments which i'll always cherish >>

My 1st company annual dinner:


My girlfriends and I..love you guys heaps!!








Till then..xoxo

Tree Family

2008-09-27T22:58:00.005+08:00

Tree family: Balak (Mei Chin), Ranting (Pei Shan), Leave (Lie Peng), Flower (Me).. My besties!!

It all started when we were in upper six. All four of us sat in the front row..and eventually became close..(i really cant remember how and what triggers it, it just happened!) We had lots of fun together..went to Dharma Camp, study groups, girls outings, shopping... What i'm trying to say here is..i love them!

Today i went out with 2 of my besties (fyi, lie peng is an air stewardass>>very very pretty!! =)) Had a good laugh, short chat (coz i had to rush for another plan at night) but again we had fun..having each others company.

I had been wasting lots of opportunities to be with these wonderful people during to certain commitments. But now, i have all the time. I do hope i'd able to spend more time with my girlfriends..love you guys heaps!!!

God bless you, my dears..

I'm BACK!! wEEHHeeee..

2008-09-27T22:26:00.003+08:00

Oh dear..it has been ages!! My beloved friends have been pestering me to update my blog..sorry guys!! Lol..

There has been heaps happening in my life..both good and the bad. Nevertheless, it's all depads on how you see it. Whether i choosed to handle it positively or feeling miserable about it. Guess i do have to admit that i am bit "slow" in figuring things out. I really need time to "digest" and rationalize the situation/problem. But somehow being "ireney" Irene >> Positive expectation No Limitation >> Weee..!! =)

Whenever i'm feeling down due to some problems i'm having, i always ask myself "What's the worst can happen to me?..." It's just a way for me to comfort myself.. a way for me to escape and feel better BUT somehow i will still feel down and gloomy because the fact that i am not achieving things or goals i set for myself.. (you can never lie to yourself!)

Recently i have been reading alot. It has indeed help me alot. I'd able to see things differently..more on the positive angle. And i notice that i have been smilling most of the time and i am actually REALLY happy..and i mean really happy!!

Of course there is also one matter that has been bothering me since early this year, but guess what?..i'll leave it aside and concentrate in matters which i can be control of. As for THE matter, i'll just go with the flow!

A friendly look, a kindly smile, one good act, and life's worthwhile.

Till then, cheers!!

Sick!!

2008-06-13T22:51:00.002+08:00

I'm sooo sick!! Haiz..

Been having on & off fever ..and never ending flu plus sore throat! Darn..but i cant afford to take MC. Reason: Still have my last event to go! Pathetic as it may sound, but yea..i want to get all these burden off my head. Tomorrow's event is my last. Hopefully everything flow smoothly as planned, dont think i cant take anymore surprises! I'll collapse..

God, please give me the strength to stay strong and complete my task accordingly..

A Life of Bliss

2008-06-01T19:39:00.007+08:00

A life of bliss..this was the first thing that crossed my mind when i started my blog..
Hmm, Bliss..can be defined as joy, happiness which is also a total opposite of the word misery. I started of my blog writting happy things..but look where i ended up. Misery!

Flashing back to what had happened lately in life made me think..(thank God my tiny brains are still working)..Lol! Nobody really cares if you are miserable, so might as well be happy. Dont get me wrong, i know many of you out there do care for me..alot>> Thanks alot my dear friends for all the calls and messages :) ... It's just that those people who made my life miserable and doleful, they dont even give a damn! So why should i torture myself by worrying and feeling bad? What i went through in May also taught me something.. Each daily portion can be wasted, or it can be a pleasure before it is gone forever.

So, face problems bravely, confidently, and improve on the situation, no matter what state it be in. Laugh, relax, and sleep well...Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony - Mahatma Gandhi -

Finally..One Down!

2008-06-01T09:57:00.009+08:00

At last..I survived the month of May!!! Yay, i'm not drown in depression or or misery.. June is going to be a tough month too, but i bet it's not as bad as May's schedule & work load. God, please bless me..

I've done my first RTD (Round Table Discussion) of year 2008..it was again held at Bombay Palace Restaurant. Everything went as planned except few contacts didnt turn up due to certain reason. But overall it was cool..am just waiting from some feedback and comments from the managemnent (*finger crossed*) I was soo relieved it was over..at least one of the burden i was carrying on my shoulder is taken off.. felt so much lighter now.

Then after sending Miaw Kiang a.k.a Dr Lee back home... i went to change my top and headed to Passion (Poppy was damn packed..anchovy-pack according to Raj)..lol! So we went up to Passion instead..trance :?

The whole night was ok.. good company i would say! Thanks guys!! You guys were fun and kinky.. It's just that the ambience was not that happening as we were on top instead of cramming along with other party-kaki(s). Well, maybe next time..

After weeks of stress and gloom, i was hoping to dance my worry off.. really crazily! But alas, i did not.. guess i am too old now to dance like how i used to.. :) Anyway, i did enjoyed the night and special thanks to Al & Raj! Glad i came..hope you guys enjoyed too. Cheers!

And thanks Tinesh darling, for checking out if i'm doing okay..love you heaps! (p.s you dont have to worry bout me, this aunty is way too old to be worried about..)

-Another 2 more major events to go..-

Hypochondriac

2008-05-29T20:25:00.004+08:00

My head is killing me!!! Having bad headache for weeks... Exhausted!

Really need a break or i'll break!

O Lord,
Grant me the courage to try,
the strength to endure,
the honor to excel,
and the faith to believe

-XOXOXO-

Pure flame..

2008-05-28T23:08:00.006+08:00

I'm soo stressed up! Sigh..

There're so many things to do, so many things running in my mind..and i'm alone! No one to turn to.. No one will ever understand what i'm going thru.. it's dreadful!! It's heavy..i'm drowning. There's a mix feeling in me.. Excited. Worried. Sad. Disappointed. Angry. Restless. Fearful. Mental...

There are soo many "WHAT IF" running in my head.. What if i collapsed? What if i fail? What if i screw up? What if they are using me? What if i transform into "them"..a bunch of BKs? I dont want all this to happen.. Why am i sooo pessimistic?

I was sad..and shock when my bestie told me that i have changed. She said i used to be the most cheerful, patient and steady person she knew.. But the Irene now is soo unpredictable and not as cool as i used to be. Sigh.. What kind of person have i become?.. Where is the Irene?.. Where am i?

Is it good? Is it bad? Is it right? Is it wrong? Is the hard way always the right way?

What am i suppose to do...Sigh! As i grow older, i learn..about life, about reality.. The truth..
Yes, i know the horizon is out there somewhere..and i have to keep chasing it, look for it and working for it. But the question is..how long?

-Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.-

I've learned my LESSON!

2008-05-23T00:44:00.003+08:00

I'm so disappointed and angry today! But guess it's my fault too..

Yea, you are right..you guys are good at "that" and i should mind my own business! It's my fault for being too worried and concern bout you guys..it's my fault that i care soo much bout you all!
But thank you so much for waking me up.. i'm sorry for being such a Nosy Parker!

It's just that i couldn't stand and keep quiet doing nothing seeing all that happen right infront of me. It's just not Me! Perhaps that's one of my weakness, which i think i should change. I can't promise i'll change it overnight but i will try. I should actually!.. I should mind my own business, and care less bout others! It's non of my business anyway, so why should i care and make myself unhappy?..Right?

-I'M SORRY-

I love my Chindian friends...

2008-05-12T21:19:00.022+08:00

I'm glad i made the right choice...

In conjuction to Mother's Day this year, my beloved chindian gang had came up with an awsome idea of paying a visit to the old folks..(the idea was initiated by Sri, thanks dude for all ur effort!) At first, i thought i cant make it because on the very same day i have few appointments and need to settle some Nurse's Day stuff.. But i began having second thought after getting a phone call by Puven the night before.. he made me felt soo guilty and wanted to go and join the crowd!

Early that morning, i started my day few hours early than what i've initially planned so that i'd
able to finish earlier..(finger crossed)! And with God's grace, i managed to finish my tasks by 12pm..yay!!

Went to pick up Dini darling and her bros right after work, and off we go to the old folks home.. Little Sisters of the Poor to be exact.

We were late..majority the old folks had went back to rest in their room/dorm?!....only left few in the hall.. sigh! Missed!!! Anyway, the other chindians did a very good job in serving and entertaining the old folks.. The sister even complimented them..hehe

Pictures speak a thousand words..

*Sri*

*Sri, Adrian, Puven,Uree, Zezen & Sean*

*Simon*

*Balan with 2 grannies*

It was really fun in the old folks, especially having the gang around.. There're soo much of laughter and joy..although we only met few times, but it seems we've known each other for ages!

*lol*

*Hot Reena*

*I love this pic..Puven n Dini look soo nice*

*Puven can never sit still..*

This pic is soo soo funny..

Last but not least..

*Lovely*

*Coolest gang*

*All Black*

*Finally..group pic*

I would like to thank all Chindian for this great success..Thanks guys..u guys ROCK!!!

Weird Bedtime Story

2008-04-08T20:33:00.025+08:00

Why do people often make simple things soo difficult for others? Why are there people who being so cold and heartless? Do they actually feel good or happy to see others miserable? Cant they just compromised? Life would be so much in peaceand harmony if everyone can just mind
their own business and respect the other party's virtue.

Flexible vs Immutable (in other word stubborn)
These are 2 kind of human personality which lately attracted my attention.
Two different individual:
1) Mr F
2) Mr I

Mr F is a cool guy. He often takes things easy and prefer letting
his children to their homework independently and always open to
suggestions of how they wanna study. And most of the time he'll agree
as it's not him whose gonna do the studying job plus the homeworks.
This is good as his children able to do what they want with less
restriction and daddy's supervision. But one thing not right about
Mr F is that because of his very cool demeanour, he tend to overlook
certain things. Certain things which may be a minor tohim but that
minor may mean major to his children! His negligenthad indirectly
caused someof his children grew to be" blur zombies with no direction"..
not to mention getting alot of complains from the teachers and
headmaster! :s

The other guy, Mr I has a total opposite personality. This Mr I always
wanted things to be done HIS way Perfectly. Nothing more nothing less.
Mr I has a high spirit and always wanting his children to perform the
best and score full As. And the best part is he's one concern Nosy Parker.
He'll make sure he always plays an important role in his family in the
senseof grooming his beloved children.. or i should say the Navigator!
Hmm..
Mr I's character actually made his children to be very organize and excel
in studies, but these children were unhappy as daddy seemed to interfere
in every single thing. One thing good about Mr I is he actually put in
alot of effort and guide his children all the way towards their family
direction.

The best part is there's another person named Madam Rambling-bunk.
She's one typical mother in-law who can seriously makes life miserable
for any daughter in-law. She has a wise phrase hanging on herbedroom
wall which written in red "Practice-What-You-Preach".
Madam Rambling-bunk is neither Flexible nor Immutable but this
3 human, Believe-it-or-Not live under one roof! How queer is that...

*Miracles do happened*

I love my life...

2008-04-07T21:48:00.009+08:00

I was talking to a friend this evening. This friend of mine has a great job, a happy family, and not to mention she's gorgeous! To me, she's just simply perfect.. We started chatting and catching up with our stories, then suddenly she told me that her life sucks.. i was like wtc?!! Compare to mine, her life is soo much better.. At least she has a COOL job that pays well ^^
Then i realised that we started comparing our lives and complaining how miserable it is..

Often we focus on what missing in our lives, and not treasure what we have in life. I always hope to be born in a millionaire family, to be more fairer, prettier, smarter, and bla bla bla...
The list can go on and on..never ending!

But what i never thought of is what i have currently. Now when i think bout
it actually makes me more happy and grateful. I then realise that my life is not thatmiserable afterall.. I began to see that my life is actually filled with lots of love and things to feel good about. Treasuring what i have is simply a new habit that i really need to learn and cultivate.. and not always complain and grumble!....

You have all the right to mould and shape your life..you can either colour it in black and white or you can choose to colour it in many different colours.. The choice is yours!

I reckon that whatever you do in life is worth doing to the absolute best of your ability...why settle for an ordinary, plain, mudane, so so or okay when you can have an extraordinary, superb, exciting and meaningful life.. Choose to value and appreciate your life, and opt for love and peace over hatred and despise.

*Live life to the fullest* Keep laughing*

Okay, you have done your secondary..passed the exams.. choosed the course you wanna take.. studied and played hard at the same time.. submitted your assignments on time..passed
the exams again.. finally graduated!

Now, after years of studying.. it's Working time! The first thing that strike
was the $$.. Come on, it is an undeniable fact that most people work for the money..
and of course the benefits but what about satisfaction? Does it really matters? Or is it only the income matters?

Turmoil, stops and starts, twists and turns..i know all this will almost certainly characterize a person's career path. There are soo many question running thru my head..
How do you know if that's "THE" career? Or whether if it's worth to stay? Or if you are just plainly indecision or fear in career exploration.. sigh!

What about job satisfaction? Or appreciation? Or motivation? .......... (clueless)

Memorable Penang Trip - Day 1

2008-03-26T18:09:00.006+08:00

My penang trip with my besties last weekend was simply awsome!! Enjoyed every moment of it... Penang is superb, great companions with all kinds of fantastic food! What else you can ask for..

On the way there, we dropped by Bidor to have the famous ngap thui
meen (duck-thigh noodle). All three of us ordered the kwon loh version of
ngap thui meen, meaning the noodles were prepared in dry style with soy
sauce and with the ngap thui soup served separately. The duck meat is soo
soft and tasty and the soup has very strong herbal taste but yet it's simply
delicious. Thumbs up to the ever well-known Pun Chun coffeeshop!!

After a hefty yet appetizing lunch, we continued our journey.
In a nutshell, we took approx 7-8 hours to reach the Pearl of the Orient (pls dont ask why)..
Finding the hotel was like solving a puzzle without a clue.. the road in Penang island is soo confusing! Thanks God, there was this gentleman kind enough to guide us there.. At last, we reached the hotel..after nearly 8 hours of journey!

After having a short rest, our handsome friend Christopher came to meet us and brought us to have our dinner..(fyi, we reached Penang at about 6.00pm) So, off we go to our first destination - Gurney Drive and here we met our friend, Grace.

Gurney Drive is tourism spot for FOOD...
Here you can find hawker stalls selling all sorts of penang specialities from asam laksa to pasembor. All the dishes were so yummy but with an affortable price. All of us were soo greedy and we ordered soo much! There were asam laksa, char kuey teow, fish-ball mee sua soup, fried squid, crispy chicken skin, fresh soy drink and etc..

After eating, we went for a walk and window shopping awhile at Gurney Plaza before heading back to the hotel.

tbc...

At last..here I am!

I have been planning to create a blog of my own since like forever...
Well, being a procrastinator..it delayed! Nevertheless, i finally able to drag my feet and tadaa... Here I am at last! Yay ^^

As this would be my very first post, i would like to share the following with all of you out there.. I read this when I was 13. It has really affected me both directly and indirectly and had groomed me for who I am today...
It may sound silly and mean nothing to some, but to me, it meant everything! Even till to-date, I still reckon it's the best thing I ever read. Living with this thought actually makes me more laid-back, happy and contented. Read it and do think about it.. It's interesting :) This is it...

LIFE

LIFE isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people called you & it's not about who you've dated, are dating or haven't dated at all. It isn't about your shoes, or your hair or the colour of your skin. In fact, it's not about the grades, money, clothes, or companies that accept you or not. Life isnt about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone... Life isn't just about that!

But LIFE is about who you love & who you hurt. It's about how you really feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness & compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends & family, replacing inner hate with LOVE. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance & building confidence. It's about what you say & what you mean. Life is about seeing people for who they are & not what they are. Most of all, it is about YOU choosing to use YOUR life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.
