updates

well, let me update you about me in 6 points..only if you want to know..

1. i just came back from labuan last weekend and found out that i managed to control myself not to buy too much chocolates which will end up in the fridge for years.. but that could be only this visit..i'm still not sure about the next visit to labuan..hehe..and next visit will be Christmas time..aah~ another gathering ;-)

2. after labuan, we drove all the way to sipitang to hunt for durian..luckily we got some to satisfy our cravings, especially yan's..then we stopped by in beaufort for satay brunei before heading back to KK =) it was fun. i think this will be my last trip for year 2011 (not including the Christmas gathering in Labuan) because flight to JB by firefly has been cancelled..maybe i should just stay at home this november and save..

3. i have been working for the government under an unpredictable leader for a year and 5 days now..and one word to describe it- challenging. but recently, i realised, i actually do not drag myself to work, except for, after a long break and mondays. hmm, maybe there are other things in the office that motivates me to to work, hehe.. ;p and fund in my bank.

4. working with the government means working with the politicians.. this is the fact that i have to accept.. and too much of 1Malaysia thingy. SK1M, PS1M, GMP1M, Klinik1M, HACCP1M..and according to one of my lecturer, these 1Ms will be gone after 5 years..let's see how long do they stay..by the way, i'll be transferred to penampang soon.

5. i'll be travelling around next year, so i have to save money from now on.. or else, my bank will be empty by 2013..no more buying things on impulse..i must remind myself this, buy things that i need not things that i want..and i'm planning to go for World Youth Day in Rio, Brazil in 2013. save! save! save!

6. tomorrow's friday and TGIF! =)

last night, i gave my blog a new look. after choosing and considering the template design for almost 3 hours (huh..now i know where did my 3-hours went..time flies, man), i think this is the best, because it shows so much about myself and my life. there are rainbows, flowers, and sun which represent the happiness. the love and heart shapes, represent l.o.v.e =) the black wavy thingy which i'm not sure what it is, represent the ups and downs that happened to me to shape me into a person. butterflies and leaves represent the nature and peacefulness that i do feel once in a while =) the skull which represent those bad experiences and sad moments..and also the STARS..the first feeling that came into my mind when i saw it is all the surprises i had and will have.. ;D

update 29.12.2011- i was reading through my blog and i find it quite hard to read because the background is too full of decoration..and at the same time, this old man could not read too, and turned him into a grumpy old man..so, i have to improve the design with white background. =) i think it's better and readable and practical now.

today is the end of 2010!

my 2010 has been great..and let me share with you some of my moments. just to warn you, :) this post will be full of pictures.

02.01.2010: we (ben, milia, ah meng and i) went to simpang mengayau or a.k.a tip of Borneo for the first time, and were fascinated by the beauty of the place.

16.01.2010: we (ah yau, arteo, ben and i) went to 1Borneo to give support to ah meng and the company she works for.

24.01.2010: celebrated cyn's (middle) birthday in secret recipe, warisan square. it's always time to catch-up with each other..and that time annes shared about her modeling experience..hehe.

30.01.2010: went to penang to attend jenn's wedding and also sort of reunion with the ex-CSSUKMers.

06.04.2010: i found my perfect banana cake recipe :) and this was my first baking after the chinese new year season which was in february. ah ma dont really encourage me to bake as much as before because whenever i bake, dad will finish up all, and everything that i baked is extra calories for dad. so, in order to control that, i have to control myself too.

22.05.2010: the first time i can donate my blood after a few years of rejection during blood donation campaigns for not enough of hemoglobin count in my body..the last time i donated blood was in 2006.. yeay!

21.06.2010: a farewell dinner for arteo. he'll be pursuing his Master in PH..and hopefully also his PhD.

09.07.2010: finished my 2nd workpiece and this was given to joyce for her new home in australia :)

25.07.2010: we joined Treasure Hunt 1Malaysia. at first we were so confident that we will get at least the consolation prize..but, at the end of the event, then only we knew that it's not as easy as we thought. can you believe it, that the winner were actually from West Malaysia? hehehe..

25.07.2010: our picture (one of the task we had to do) which represent 1Malaysia.

07.08.2010: Chemsain (now, my ex-company) annual dinner in Karambunai Resort. a good time to get to know all the colleagues from all around malaysia.. and also to get closer with those we have been working with, the whole year..and now i'm missing my friends in chemsain. :(

10.08.2010: went to China for the 2nd time..but, it was the first time for me to be in Haikou..a place which is very similar to Sabah..they have their beaches, pepper, coconuts, and we have all of them here too. :)

24.08.2010: ben lighted a huge lantern and that was the first time i saw it.. and i think it was fun.

31.08.2010: gathering at kopi botol with the cousins to celebrate ben's belated birthday..picture was taken while waiting for ah yau and jun jun. and, a few minutes after that, we received call from ah yau. he was involved in an accident..whereby his car was knocked by a car coming from opposite way, and the worst thing was, the driver was drunk! thank God, nothing bad happened to ah yau and jun jun...all of us went to police station to settle the case. ah yau was car-less for almost 3 months..

19.09.2010: some gifts all the way from singapore..and that was the first time i tasted macaroons. .nice but a little bit too sweet.

20.09.2010: a shot with ruth and azrah for remembrance. two days before leaving chemsain.

21.09.2010: my farewell cake.. yes, may luck and success be with me :) a very nice yam cake.. the day when i left chemsain for good.

22.09.2010: my birthday! lunch treat - ah meng (la mien with nam yue pork), dessert treat- ben (yogurberry), dinner treat in firefly, kk times square- mom & dad.. and 6 cute little cupcakes from my dear friend, joyce.. thank you all for celebrating it with me. :)

29.10.2010: 36 days after i left chemsain and 29 days after i joined the government..and i attended the very first course as a government servant.. Kursus Keselamatan dan Kualiti Makanan.

31.10.2010: went for my very first photo shoot with friends (roy, yan and cyn)..now i know, it's not easy to get a nice shot..and it's not easy to pose too..i got sunburnt! photos, credit to Elyas and Eddy. :)

09.12.2010: went to penang for GMP course..and had the chance to go for ferry ride in the middle of the night at around 11.30pm, from the island to mainland (butterworth) and back to the island again. it was fun!

25.12.2010: christmas gathering in labuan..one of our family annual event..and little sofee was crying, hehe.

i want to wish everybody a blessed year of 2011..hope you've lived your 2010 to the fullest and look forward to 2011. may the new year brings new beginning and may it starts beautifully for you and your loved ones! :)

oh well, we are now already the final month of the year..time passed by so fast that nobody can stop it. it feels like only yesterday i celebrated my new year..and yet, so many things happened.
it's time to reflect again on how have i lived my 2010.

07.11.2010

it's been a month since i started my new job..new friends, new boss, new responsibilities, new working environment..so many of new things and yet i'm feeling blessed and not discouraged.
i'm grateful that my God is always there to comfort and to provide.

PRAISE THE LORD!
