IT'S Y2011 AND I AM BACK!!!

Don't know what make me come back here after stop blogging for 2 years i guess. Probably no one is going to read this, as this is just like writing an online diary hoping somebody can pay a little attention to my life.

Traveling - this will be my main excuse for not blogging. I had been all around Europe for the past 2 to 3 years. I enjoy traveling as a part of myself, however my piggy saving never success cause of that. Here it comes the boring part.

The countries list that I managed to land my foot on:
1. The Netherlands (Amsterdam where I can find coffee shop and see ladies in aquarium making money more than tulips, windmills or cheese making)
2. Belgium (Belgium where you hardly find people speak English, disappointing however cant denied the moulis frites (mussels and fries) is good with local beer)
3. France (Paris for fashion craze, Nice for a different picture of France)
4. Spain (Ibiza for party lover, Barcelona, Malaga)
5. Monaco (reminds me of Eddy wins 5 Euros in Monte Carlo casino!)
6. Italy (Venice where I love the most, Rome the city or eternity, Florence, Milan, Pisa)
7. Switzerland (Matterhorn is -18 degree C when I am up there, basically nothing is cheap in Swiss)
8. Iceland (beauty with the white and nature, love dipping in blue lagoon)
9. San Marino (oldest republic in the world, must eat Torta Tre Monti and amaretto)
10. Vatican City (Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel is greatly painted, remember to fetch some holy water back)
11. Portugal (for seafood lover just like me, beautiful beaches and squarish houses)
12. Germany (first in technology, even in small Bremen town. Systematic and well planned, organized. Should send your child there if technology minded)
13. Norway (transportation never as punctual as in Oslo. Tram and bus system are connected on the same road and on time)
14. Sweden (the capital of Scandinavian countries, you hardly find small building)
15. Poland (Wieliczka salt mine for salt-for-life)
16. Malta (the oldest neolitic temple in the world dated aprox. 5611 years ago)
17. Republic of Ireland (Guinness, Trinity College,St. Paddy's and Irish slang people)
18. Northern Ireland (Giant Coast Way is the best)
19. Wales (i still don't understand Welsh road sign, can't even read it out)
20. Scotland (greeneries, mountains and sheeps)
21. England (fat ladies from Liverpool, the dirty and busy lifestyle of London that can be observe on London tube)
22. Austria (Lots of Xmas market on December, lots of good food)
23. Slovakia (nothing much particular, an old town)
24. Thailand (island hopping, snorkeling) this is outside Europe of course
25. Dubai (boring city to me) Middle East
26. Egypt (mostly all places around Egypt including a week river Nile cruise)

The countries list that I am going to land my foot on:
1. Greece (Santorini where everyone dying to go, Kos if you wanna go for cos lettuce)
2. Turkey (if you hear about one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, The Mausoleum at Bodrum)
3. Estonia (still yet to do my study)
4. Finland (still yet to do my study)
5. Latvia (still yet to do my study)
6. Lithuania (still yet to do my study)

The countries list that I am planning to land my foot on:
1. Hungary
2. Czech Republic
3. Croatia
4. Singapore

Okay, I know this is not finish and I should not end the blog in the middle of writing but I am really so sleepy. Hopefully the next time I blog won't be 2 years later. Please remind me. Good night.

When I start reading, I can't stop laughing coz she really good in writing online diaries. She is just sooo sooo funny! What a 'sam-pat' friend I got.

Time to talk about myself. I completed 10,028 words today for my dissertation. 50% done but hopefully Ms. Gwenda nod her head say 'Yes, good job. Please proceed on'. By then I can make my parents and I proud so I can graduate by Jul 24th. If she says the other way round, I shall jump off from my bedroom's window.

A bit of everything so now I shall talk about home. I miss my family and fellow friends. I miss Penang, but when I am there the others was like busy focusing on individual work. I am just counting lalat at home.. and guess what my sis just MSN me told me she passed all her papers! I am sooo proud of her! Kebanggaan seluruh dunia! Another national day celebration!

Well, I din know what to continue right now. Brb. probably nest year? :P

News Update!

Fellow friends, I am back once again after disappearing for ages. Just to say tomorrow I will be leaving Liverpool for Dublin, and yet I do not feel any excitement yet. Probably due to I am still carrying lots of workloads on my shoulder from university and workplace, but yet I am reducing all this nonsense bit by bit.

Meanwhile, I am still stuck at Facebook for no any good reasons and also chatting with TS (the famous guy that 24/7 on the internet)! I hope this is the best description about you. We were chatting some nonsense till he thinks I am crazy!

I am getting home for CNY soon. Nothing can stop me for going home next Chinese New Year, not even delay flights or cancellation, I will swim back home (even I still don't know to swim, but I will use the tyre tubing stuff). I really miss home alot, can you imagine I am away for more than 2 years! Poor me...

I do think of posting some updated picture here, but as I remembered, Firefox does not allow me to do so, I aren't sure why and I do not have IE on my laptop. Therefore, to encourage all boys and girls, for picture update, please visit my facebook. I repeat: Facebook, not Friendster anymore.

Signing off for now... Adios!

2008-06-16T02:46:00.005+08:00

Finally, I am back!

After missing in action for more than a year, I am back now! I am so lazy to update my blog as I nearly forget I got a blog. (skip all crap).

What I wanna share is I am going to travel again! Oct 7 & 8 to Dublin, Ireland, Oct 14 & 15 to Belfast, Ireland, Nov 4 to Dublin again for a day trip and Nov 13 a long journey from Liverpool to London, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Monaco, Italy and finally back to Liverpool on Dec 1. Hope this is gonna be an interesting and memorable trip. These plan is all confirmed as all flight tickets are fully paid. These plans were made on the eleventh hour when we realized how generous Ryanair giving our free air tickets! So is a must to grab (Malaysian attitude! Free things must take). I am happy ans excited that this year I am gonna celebrate my twenty-something birthday in one of the countries as mentioned above (not to disclosed own age, anyway still very very young) :P

I do have a plan on visiting Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal on this August. No further action is taken as no free flights available at that time. I got 2 weeks off starting 3 August so I will do something about it before it is too late.

Next January in 2009, I will definitely going back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year! (Gong Xi, Gong Xi) for 3 weeks. Those who is available at that moment, please do not forget to contact me at my same and unchanged Malaysia mobile number. (Hooray!!)

If you really miss me and do wanna know the latest update on me, please visit my Facebook for photos as it takes me ages if I wanna upload here. Please visit:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=752930054

In the site consists of Amsterdam trip photos on last April 27 - 30. There is approx. 120 photos but as you know I am too lazy to upload the rest, so please bear with my laziness. (at least something than nothing)

Okay... after telling a long tales on my travelling stories, if you wanna know what is my current situation update, so here it goes. I completed my Postgrad Diploma level (if I pass my final module which results will release end of this month, and I assume I pass all). Left a final dissertation to be submitted by end of December 08 or May 09 so I can graduate by July 2009 with MBA.

I always wanna have a better job, working environment but I did not take any initiative to start for job hunting. Sometimes, I do not understand why am I so lazy and I think I am the laziest in the world!

Don't know what to say. So gonna end this now.

Take care, my friend!

BLOG UPDATE as of 5 MARCH 2007

Landed my foot on UK once again on 15 January 2007, 7.00pm (UK time). That was the moment where my student life begun, can't imagine what will be next whether is it a wrong decision to left the sitting lazily at office to a low profile "dunno where she came from" student (that's what other student uses to guess). The lowest temperature in Liverpool during Winter goes down to -4 degree C, and it does snow for a week. As for the highest temperature, I don't know, estimated during the day light is about 10 degree C.

Kensington is the area that I am staying, not a real safe area as feedback from friends. Heard that lots of robbery cases at night. The red bricks building is my house. I am staying at the 3rd floor, second window from your right is my room.
Yea...!!! The white fluffy thing is what the people use to call Snow. Stupidly me to wake up early in the morning just to play with the snow while snowing.

That is written by Eddy...

My CHINESE NEW YEAR celebration at UK

Wonder how I spend my Chinese New Year in Liverpool? This is what it looks like in Chinatown, Liverpool on the very first day of Chinese New Year, 18 February 2007.

The view from the main gate to the Chinatown, Liverpool. Pic of Connie and I during her part time work selling lion puppet at Chinatown. 10 Pound/puppet!

Photo with God of Fortune~! Cheers! Fire cracker blasting in a cage; monitored by the specialist.

Your Fortune at Birth - Part 1

>From the Imperial Tung Shu comes this incredible poem of the four seasons ascribed to the legendary Yellow Emperor. From the poem can be obtained general indications of what life holds in store for a newborn baby. It is believed that depending on your season of birth, your life can be full of burdens or full of abundance. It all depends on which part of the Emperor ' s body you were born on. We present here brief predictive details of the four seasons poem for those wishing to investigate how, and at what stage of their life, they will enjoy the patronage and goodwill of the Emperor.

The incredible Chinese Tung Shu is filled with the most fascinating esoteric information relating to destiny analysis, as well as the meanings of signs, marks and symbols. One of the more tantalizing chapters relate to making a quick and general forecast of a person ' s life destiny, based on the seat assigned to us when we are born. This is based on the season of one ' s birth, as well as the time of birth i.e. the exact time when the baby is expelled or removed from the mother ' s womb.

Thus you first need to determine the season of birth - spring, summer, autumn or winter. The season of spring would be March, April and May; the season of summer would be June, July and August; the season of autumn would be September, October and November; while the season of winter would be December, January and February.

Next, you will need to determine your hour of birth based on the 12 earthly branches. This divides a 24-hour day into twelve time segments of two hours each, with each time segment representing one of the Chinese astrological animals. With these two pieces of information, you then need to look at the illustrations of the Yellow Emperor wearing the robes of the seasons - green robes for the spring, red robes for the summer, white robes for the fall and blue robes for the winter.

Look at the Emperor that corresponds with your season of birth, then locate on which part of the Emperor you were born based on your time of birth. Note from the time chart of the twelve time segments that each two-hour period has a special name. Locate the hour name on the Emperor ' s body and then check against the meaning given. For example, if your hour pillar is Mao in the season of summer, you look for the illustration of the Emperor in the summer season, locate where your hour name is located on his body and then read the meaning given under summer.

Use the table and diagram here to determine on which part of the Emperor you were born, then refer to the descriptions below to find your destiny.

Born in the Spring (March, April, May)

Cher
Born on the Emperor ' s Head
You will hold a high position in life. You have power and great intellectual capability. You are also blessed with wisdom. This person has authority, power and responsibility. Such a person must be well brought up and properly educated.

Tze & Wei
Born on the Emperor ' s Hands
Your attainments will be average and it is more beneficial if you work at starting your projects as the second-in-command and not as the leader. You can rise up high being the right-hand-man of someone powerful and wealthy.

Yu & Mao
Born on the Emperor ' s Shoulders
You will never be short of clothes on your back, which means you will always be able to make a good living. There will be no shortage of the basic necessities of life, including owning a home and property.

Wu
Born on the Emperor ' s Stomach
Your serious good fortune begins only in middle age when you will enjoy great good fortune in terms of the luxuries of life. There is plenty of food, clothing and all the material pleasures in this life.

Choh & Hai
Born on the Emperor ' s Girth
You will go through many changes in your life and as you get higher up the social ladder, you will transform a great deal. This transformation may be for good or bad and it is advisable that if you are in this situation, you should strive to change for the better and become more humble as you become more important in your work and life.

Shen & Shih
Born on the Emperor ' s Knee
You will have to travel a great deal in your life, so you can view this as good or bad depending on whether you enjoy travelling or not. Professionally, your life will be full of journeys. And like the wanderer, life is unsettled and transient.

Sen & Yiu
Born on the Emperor ' s Feet
This indicates that there will be two marriages in your life. This is especially true for women born into this position. For men, being born on the Emperor ' s feet suggests a restless nature that is not easy to please.

Born in the Summer (June, July, August)

Wu
Born on the Emperor ' s Head
This is an auspicious indication, since anyone born on the Emperor ' s head in the Summer will never have any worries. There are no obstacles and difficulties in this person ' s entire life. This also suggests a person who will have an excellent intellect, and who is good at strategic thinking and planning.

Tze & Choh
Born on the Emperor ' s Hands
This birth situation suggests that you will have more than sufficient money and business luck. Your good fortune improves with the years and you will attain great success during the later stages of your life.

If you live an honourable life, you will be blessed with plenty of grandchildren and live to an old age.

Cher
Born on the Emperor ' s Stomach
This birth situation indicates there is plenty to eat and more than sufficient clothes to wear and to enjoy. There is good fortune luck from your late forties onwards. You will not have to worry about your old age for you will be well looked after.

Wei & Hai
Born on the Emperor ' s Girth
This birth situation suggests that you will have loving parents and be surrounded by noblemen and important people. What you make of your good fortune at birth will depend on your own efforts.

Shen & Shih
Born on the Emperor ' s Knees
It will be hard for you to be given the recognition for the work you do. There will be obstacles that can stand in your way and unless you can overcome this lack of recognition luck, by middle age, you will be exhausted.

Yiu & Sen
Born on the Emperor ' s Feet
This birth situation brings an easy life where everything comes easily, especially to those born male. Also, if you are of the male gender, it is likely you will have more than one wife. Women will find you irresistible. You will be blessed if you have a good attitude and a pure motivation.

Your Fortune at Birth - Part 2

Born in the Autumn (September, October, November))

Hai
Born on the Emperor ' s Head
This birth situation is especially beneficial for girls, as it indicates you will have a very comfortable and stable life with plenty of good fortune and prosperity luck. But both genders will benefit from the wonderful good fortune of being born on the emperor ' s head in autumn.

Tze & Choh
Born on the Emperor ' s Hands
This is an extremely auspicious situation of birth, as there is the promise of wealth coming from the four directions. Each time you travel, you will meet with a person of high standing who will help and assist you. You will benefit by going overseas to study or to work.

Cher & Wu
Born on the Emperor ' s Shoulders
This birth situation suggests that there is prosperity luck and you will become rich in your middle age. You will also have the help of your siblings, especially your brothers. You are blessed with many genuine friends.

Sen
Born on the Emperor ' s Stomach
This birth situation indicates that you will keep company with many clever people. They are people who excel in their career and their study and their presence in your life will inspire you to be ambitious. Happiness brings good fortune, so you must develop a happy disposition and be smiling at all times.

Mao & Wei
Born on the Emperor ' s Girth
You will enjoy an abundance of food and clothing during your middle age. Your sons and grandsons will bring you much happiness and contentment, so you have quite outstanding descendants luck. Those with this birth situation will benefit if they get married at a young age and start a family in their twenties.

Yiu & Yu
Born on the Emperor ' s Knee
You will need to work very hard during your early years and there may be some setbacks, but you are blessed with good fortune in later life. Those who have this birth situation should rejoice and never feel discouraged, as their success when they are older will more than make up for setbacks they may experience in their early years.

Shih & Shen
Born on the Emperor ' s Feet
Your whole life will be safe and peaceful and there is nothing to fear in terms of being hurt by others. If you are ambitious and have the determination to succeed, you can reach great heights professionally. Even if you do not reach the top, you will nevertheless be content with what you have. Therein lies the secret of your happiness.

Born in the Winter (December, January, February)

Tze
Born on the Emperor ' s Head
If you are born on the Emperor ' s head in winter, you will make a brilliant marriage. Your spouse will be a well respected person who comes from a highly regarded family background. You will have luxury in your life with enough food and clothes.

You will have some problems and setbacks during your growing-up and early career years, but you will enjoy good luck in later life. A great deal of your luck will be brought to you by your spouse and then by your sons and grandsons.

Cher
Born on the Emperor ' s Stomach
You are one person who is sure to enjoy singing, socializing and glamorous parties. And you have the luck to enjoy this lifestyle, as there is both prosperity and longevity in your life. It is however important for you to undertake some charitable work or donate to charity during your middle-aged years. This will bring you even more good fortune.

Yiu & Sen
Born on the Emperor ' s Girth
You will be blessed with exceptional good fortune in your old age when there is gold, asset accumulation and a thriving business in your family. You have the luck to grow old with someone you care for and love.

Choh & Wei
Born on the Emperor ' s Knees
You will have enough to eat and survive on, but little left over, and during your middle-aged years, there will be some truly trying times. It is incredibly vital for you to do charity and devote some time to caring for others. This will dissolve much of the negative chi that surrounds you.

Shen & Shih
Born on the Emperor ' s Feet
You should live away from your parents and grandparents, as it benefits you to have your own dwelling place. If you have your own home, you will enjoy good fortune. The further away you are from your ancestral home, the better it will be for you.

Increment on numbers of candle on my cake...

To be exact another 15 more days I will be a year older than what I am right now. Does not feel any excitement as the day goes nearer. Perhaps adult-working lifestyle had change the inside of me from an hyperactive and noisy to a quiet and serious person. Let me skip this dull topic as I am getting bored and upset to think about it.

Back to my birthday wish for this year will be:

I wanna get back to England as soon as possible

Unconditional letter - on hand,
Loan - processing,
UK Visa - in the midst of application,
Flight ticket - confirmed by MAS and Emirates Airlines

Hope my Canon i55 can be cure, currently under troubleshooting and repair by my colleague (thanks for dipping RM1199 into sea water during my Thai trip) Stupid me!!

I wanna get of out working life as soon as possible. I wonder who ever say life as an engineer is good? Makes me fall into that trap.

Wish to had either Green Tea cake or fruit cake for the day *Hint* *Hint* Yummy...

Birthday greetings,Sms-es, E- cards, E-mails from friends that still remember my existence. Do you???

My first birthday gift for the year is from Melvin Tan, an attached file with wishes from the Internet together with a birthday song. Even though is something simple & small but meaningful. Thanks Melvin~!

That's all with the blabbing. Chaoz~

2006-11-03T19:15:00.000+08:00

SICK!!!

The sick I meant was not "I was so sick of you". I was just trying to explain I am in real sick situation, not mentally but physically. Not really to the matter of live and death yet, but just like waiting for the time to comes. Start crapping nonsense~! 

The story started from last Thursday (Raya third day), I went to work at office. That time I can still say that I am feeling good. During noon, I can feel the unease feeling, not those rasuk hantu but the body starts to give me the feeling of SICK. I consulted Clinic Aman at B.Baru, but it does not works. I got worse the next day. Slept half a day in office with flu and feverish. Thought this will only takes me 2 days to heal but it drags through my whole weekend. Not only flu and feverish, cough joins along. The phlegm create itchness at my throat makes me keep on coughing non stop, this will lead to even worse case.. VOMIT.

Went to Singapore Clinic on Wed nite, doctor commented "Where got people cough till vomit, only kids throat is that sensitive" Damn It, my company pay you to consult me and provide services to me, not to compare my throat and comment. He still did not give me any antibiotics even after I told him I vomitted twice that day.

Had a terribly sleepless night yesterday, cough badly as usual till I can sense I am coughing out my lungs. Went to Singapore Clinic again at 1.00am early morning. Told the doc I just vomitted and I had intermittent feverish at times. He offer me another prescription and antibiotics, I asked for a "MC" and he don't wanna give. Stupid him! I was like dying and he say I will be fine for work the next day.

Today is the next day as I mentioned above. I am still terribly sick, cough till vomit again. I sounds like half dead, lost my voice. Just praying hard to I can recover soon... :(

Poke da Penquin

For goodness sake, please do not take revenge when you see the real penquin~!

I am out of ca$$$h

You must be wondering why? How come this girl keep on complaining pocket empty when it is only on 21st October, not even till the month end. The reason why is... I just bought a set of facial product as below for RM676, not only that I spend another RM83 for a 150ml toner and RM178 for a 30 ml WB control.

I can stop spending, arghh!! *Fainted* when my Credit card bill arrive next month...

ICQ. Does this three letters remind you of the sound of "POttTTtt" when you start to log in, the sound of "glass breaking" when there is a triggering for autorization, and the sound of "Oh OuH" when there is incoming message from friends? I still recall the old time when we use our invisible list to block whoever that we doesn't want to talk to, and add our best buddies into our visible list so we are visible to them even though we are in "invisible" mode. Isn't that fun? As time pass by, MSN overtake what we use to have... our ICQ friend. Is is just because we could not send emoticons using our ICQ friend, but there is still an advantage of ICQ is that we can leave an offline message to our ICQ friend but not in MSN 7.0, and sad to say Window Live Messenger is not compatible with my Windows XP(genuinne copy with lisence). So,it is time for all us to turn on our ICQ 5 once again and start to enjoy what we use to do in the 90's. Those were the sweet old time...

Chin Pui Kei's drawing

Perhaps it doesnt carry any sense or seems to be meaningless to you, but this drawing is drawn by my 8 years old sister. She tried to explain there is no winner in such a tic-tac toe situation. Aren't it is creative for a young kid like her? Lastly, I love her very much... =)

Hi all,

Very sorrie for not updating my blog for quite some time. I am pretty busy with my work these 3 weeks, for those that you know I am working full time in factory, part time for Maxis and working for MAT exhibition at Pisa. You will think I end up with lotsa incomes... but sad to say I am with lotsa credit card debts and paying my car's so-called food "Petrol". It will be joke to let you know on last Tues, on the way back home, I drive my car till I emptied the petrol tank without realizing it. Imagine my car stop in the middle of the road on the 4th gear, so paiseh I had to immediately reduce to 3rd gear but yet the car still can't move. Luckily there is a bus- stop near by that I can park my car. Without hesitation, I pick up the mobile phone and called my dad. Telling him I-dunno-why the car suddenly stop, and I suspect no petrol. He replied "Refill your tank with petrol first". Eddy and I walked to the opposite road, luckily Petronas was just about 400m away. After refill my petrol tank, finally my car came back alive. Hahaha! This time I proved one thing "Car won't works without petrol". Such a silly me!
Back to serious topic, I might be leaving for UK for real latest on 3rd week of January 2007. Don't drop your tears as you read this, I won't change my mind cause of you =P. But yet I still got alot of stuff to settle (loans, visas and flight ticket). Hope I really can step out of the factory- working life and feel the free and easy study life once again (feeling young once again??). Yet I still got 3 months to struggle in factory and counting down to the end of December for BONUS with balance of 9 days of annual leave...
Hhmm... nothing to write as of now. Mind totally blank. Chaoz~!

Life as engineer sucks

Wake up late again (as usual, I where got early one) - clock in 9 minutes late for work (same old excuses, congested hours sure traffic jam) - stuck with Microsoft Outlook and clearing those spam mail and reading e-mail (keep on receiving spam mail asking me to purchase fake branded watches, enlarge another 2 inches ~you should know what {as if I need it, I aren't male ok}, pray hard to God don't have any e-mails load me with work) - Times up for daily status meeting - listen to manager's old grandfather stories till I miss my breakfast hour (I HATE IT!!, luckily he will be on MC tomorrow, Congrats on his swollen toe, please rest at home for the following week okay? =P) - back to my desk and start replying e-mail, surf internet while update some paper work related to some lousy audit action item closure (somemore munching the kaya bread and tea tarik in office while cursing in my heart for "telan" my breakfast time) - AFTER LUNCH - attended weekly meeting (nonsence la... and a waste of tai keh's time, must do show in front of manager every week, so sien of it. Of course publish those good performance, else will get my own ass sapu belacan) - another HR training session (damn it, I nearly forgot, thought can go for tea break, Cheh!) - AFTER BREAK - wait for clock to strike 6.10pm la (Whatelse, of course wait for the time to cabut la, what for stay so long.. Siao meh!)
So you think my life is fun? Not exactly like what you imagine. Life actually sucks. Doing repeated job every day and find ways to escape from lotsa Action Item. Yucks! Conclusion, life as an engineer sucks!

Extract from Shereen's email. (Thanks Shereen~!)

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.This was the scene ten years ago. The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid; I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affection between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school. Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes. Dew came into my life. It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. Dew said, you are the kind of man who best draws girls' eyeballs. Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we were just married, my wife said, Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls. Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn't help doing so. I moved Dew's hands aside and said you go to select some furniture, O.K.? I've got something to do in the company. Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised to do it together with her. At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me. However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment. One day I said to her in a slightly joking way, suppose we divorce, what will you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious. When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking to her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes. Once again, Dew said to me, He Ning, divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together. I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more. When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. I've got something to tell you, I said. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the serious topic calmly.She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I'm serious. I avoided her question. This so-called answer made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew. With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer. Late that night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fall asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again. She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one months time before divorce, and in the month's time we must live as normal a life as possible. Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want him to see our marriage was broken. She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, He Ning, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day? This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, I remember. You carried me in your arms, she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning. I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage romantically. I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don't tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for a bus, I drove to the office.On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young anymore. There were some fine wrinkles on her face. On the third day, she whispered to me, the outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there. On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became vague. On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger. I didn't tell Dew about this. I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now. She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. Again, I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head. Our son came in at the moment. Dad, it's time to carry mum out. He said. To him,seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old. I held her tightly and said, both you and I didn't notice that our life lacked intimacy. I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her,Sorry, Dew, I won't divorce. I'm serious. She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of life, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you. Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove to the office. When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until we are old.

Just back from Maxis event about an hour ago, this is the first time I am reaching home that early about 1.40am. Stuck in Glo for 4 nights, imagine that the same old location and met all my old friends such as Jay Jay, Soo Nee, Andy Tai, Kelly and etc... (a little paiseh ler... people go there to club, and I go there to work). Tonight the time pass real fast, maybe cause I had enough sleep the whole day long, replace the time when I lack of sleep from Wed night till Friday night. Oh yea, Thanks to Joe for the treat from Starbucks Ice Blended Mocha yesterday and now I am so addicted to it. Keep on thinking of Mocha, Mocha, Mocha... Joe is a easy going and Siamese- look guy and he gets irritated when I tease him with another gal with Siamese- look. Start to feel regret for giving my mobile contact number to somebody, I keep on getting mid-nite SMS; "Kk good night n sweet dreams n 1more thing remember to think about me hehe just kidding" Yea, if think of you then that will be joke of the year. Argh!! I hate ppl disturb me while I am cracking my head on what to blog next. Currently I really got no idea on what to blog. Let me blog on my MSN messenger:- Feel so uneasy when see his (he doesn't allow me to publish his name, but if you are smart enough, you will know who is he from the pic) ghost picture on MSN. Real scary ler and he is so proud of it. He commented this on MSN:

Reyes says:put it as 'the scariest pic i've ever seen'

Everybody please feel free to comment this picture! What my personal comment is this picture look more like 'pak chi chai'. Am I right?

When you read this, yea... this moment onwards, I won't be able to online from every Wednesday night till every Saturday night. Sad to say cause I am attached to another event job on Maxis 4 nights/week from 8pm till 1am. This will be a long term event job, might be about for months, provided I had the stamina to survive! =P So folks, Don't miss me out there (I know you won't, but at least give face ler.. *shy look*). Just a little worry that I will look like an owl or panda or watsoever... due to lack of sleep at night, with those dark eye circle around my eyes. The moment I enjoy the most is I get to know new friends; Paces, Andrew Foo and Jin. There are nice, friendly and joyful person. =P Never know that Andrew Foo is my junior high schoolmate's boyfriend. The world is so small yet so tiny. Gotta stop "curi tulang" and revert to my work, else that Martin (newly hired manager) will nag non stop (bla.. bla.. bla... and it just goes on). Anyway, thanks for dropping by and spent a few minutes or two here. Cheers~

Today is a real bad day, pretty tired and sleepy too. I went to the so called Carlsberg training. Kononnya training, first of all the event management team sucks. After going through two rounds of interview, thought this training lesson will be full of pretty and hot chicks, but once I place my first step into the ballroom, "Oh Gosh. What the heck.. Is this their requirement after several rounds of interview and screening?" Some ladies are with boyish hairstyle, some just look exactly after graduated high school and the worst is some looks like those Ah Tu Ah Kao... Oops, Shall I say Ah Lian Ah Hua to be exact? Nevermind, thought to be patience for once and see what will happen next. Make-up lesson~ Imagine make-up class in the ballroom with about 20 guys with 40 eyes looking at us (as of we don't know how to do so, like kindy teacher teaching those kiddos painting class). Next dreadful moment is the uniform.. looks like those balance cloth from the window curtain or floor map. Green and stretchable ones that can trace your whole body figure out liddat~ Yuckz.. Feel so shy to wear it, the uniform exactly like those aunties promoting long term Carlsberg at kopitiam. The briefing started by telling those old long tales about Carlsberg... z..z..z.. Okay, i admit i did not pay attention. The location they arrange for the work will be at kopitiam and tiao hua place (What the heck is tiao hua? Jolynn explained is the stage show at the roadside where hamsup uncle buy flower and clip with money and place it around those stage-singer's neck) Damn it,work yourself lah. Without any delay, the next plan is to call the recruitment centre for Maxis programme straight away. Luckily I still manage to join the upcoming Maxis training. Now the final moment had reached, time to divide those girls into groups. I manage to team up with Jolynn to be base in Penang, but the shitty thing is there is too many supervisors from Penang, therefore they had to challenge each another by drinking 1 damn big bottle of Carlsberg. The first four that manage to finish up the whole bottle will be base in Penang. What the f^ck, now you only need drivers, not kaki mabuk. This isn't fair. The looks on Eddy's face is so pitiful, he tried to drink but I know he could not take it anymore. Without hesitation I told him " Stop drinking, let's go." With the damn pissed off TL feeling, we quickly change into our own clothes and told them "Sorry. I really can't work, the way your staff treated us are like animal and isn't like human especially the guy name M*****" It really comes up to the extend of non-professional, low class and no standard event. Save it up and ask your own girlfriend or wife or mum or what-so-ever to work this kinda job. If everything goes on smoothly from Maxis job, I will immediately start working on Wednesday. That will be great isn't it? Anyway I aren't waiting the part-time salary to feed me. The only positive point on this training today is I get to meet lotsa new friends such as Fion, Joanne, "Rubber", Chris, Kelly and many more.. Of course we exchange mobile number incase next time we do have any Kang Taos, we can recommend to each another. =) This is great, isn't it ? Overall just spoilt by the Carlsberg training programme. I really enjoy the moment when I say " I Quit". Think of it make me feel so relief, like putting down a big and heavy burden on my back. Sure I will had a great sleep tonight. =)

06' Aug 24 (backdate)

Monkeys graduated from Class of Y2K, CGL 5 Sc.2 meet up once again after a minimum of 5 - 6 years ever since grad from high school. Finally we made an arrangement for the gossiping session at Segafredo, Upper Penang Road 8.45pm on Aug 24. The lady in blue is Yin Yin Q; my best ever buddy, the one in orange is Dawn; the popular chick ever since from high school, Juliana is the one in grey; the most outgoing student in CGL and Carolyn; the one in black A.K.A lawyer. We started off with placing order on drink and food, then the important conversation begun. Just got to know some high school friends already married, some even had kid (Wow!) and some b*tches still the same ~hiao hiao flirting around~ (If you are there, you should know who I mean). The only changes on us that I noticed are: we know-how to behave and all are professional in various kind of field; not likely the old school time, just like those orang utans escape from the zoo, screaming with loud tones in the class, sleep during lessons and play prank on teachers. The funniest thing of all is when we add up 5 of us on our Additional Math results, we can get 100% (Imagine averagely each of us getting 20%, but actually is lesser than that as Yin Yin use to score as one of the highest in our class; talk about it makes me paiseh~ =P) . Those were the old school time that I really miss a lot *Sobb*

Thanks for dropping by. Today is just another ordinary Saturday and I'd spent the whole day long at home setting up this blog. Finally, I am done and this will be my first post after all. Well, I'm gonna get my butt out of this chair and arrange some programme for tonight. How can I spend the whole Saturday facing the laptop, and fungus already starts to grow on my head~ just like those expired Gardenia Bread! I'm munching some M & Ms that I bought last week from Bkt Kayu Hitam while cracking my head on what shall I type for the next line. Crazy ideas comes up to my mind of driving to Thailand just for the sake of shopping. :P Well, catch up some other time as I am so lazy to think and type right now...
