We went for apartment stay last weekend at Bayu Emas Apartment in Batu Ferringhi. Many of us went there: Beng Lay, Sherlyn, Kok Ee, Carol, May, Darrel, Siew Yee, Jess, Tze Chin, Sam & Sam's gf, Anny, Ing Han, Boon Leong & Boon Leong's gf, Chee Huey, Tian Hong, Teik Tye, Jessica, Carine, Louis, Raymond, Jun Hao and Vincent. I'm sure we might not have the opportunity to have this kind of gathering whereby so many people can attend. Too bad that Kidz Leong cannot make it as he cannot get his bus ticket.

I was so excited and woke up early on 15th Mar, thereafter, went to Coming Soon's house and had all those food prepared. Later, we went to Tesco to have our lunch as well as do some shopping with May, Kok Ee, Ing Han and Siew Yee.

By the time we reached the apartment, it was about 4++pm. Darrel has already checked in earlier. We played Monopoly while preparing for the food.



Then, few of us: TTC, SCH, CMH, TBL, WSY and CL went to the beach and enjoyed ourselves. We met YEP in the lift and he was forced to follow us as well. We built " Turtle House" and played by the beach. It's fun....

Turtle House:

Then, we headed back to the apartment, refreshed up and prepared for the event of the night. The Steamboat!!! Wow...I'm so happy that everything turned up successfully. It's Great!!! We chatted, snapped pictures, played cards and played Monopoly.

Having fun...

Guess what, we also celebrated May's Birthday! She was so surprised when they brought in the cake.


Hehe.... All of us (except Boon Leong and his gf, they must have gone for some private moments, hehe..)-----:

Then, we took a family photo:

Parents: May & Raymond
Kids: Beng Lay, Chee Huey, Carol and Teik Tye..
Comment: this was a happy family, but dad got mad when mum gave birth to a son.... Hehe

The night is still young, while many of them hang up in the pub.. few of us enjoyed playing Monopoly in the apartment. We played till about 4am in the morning. I'm so exhausted...


Time flies, it's approaching the end of out apartment stay.. I'm sure this stay would be a memorable stay for all of us and may it stay in our hearts and mind as long as it may..

Last memorable snap before we bid adieu:

Cya!!!

Tomorrow is Beng Lay's birthday. She is my best mate in MR. As she has to celebrate her birthday with her beloved tomorrow, we celebrated her birthday this afternoon. There are 13 of us in 3 cars.

We went to Kulim and had our lunch at the Restaurant Kolam Air. The lunch tasted great and delicious.

By the fish pond:


Thereafter, we headed to Sungai Sedim Waterfall and enjoyed ourselves there.


There is this canopy walk, but we did not try out. We snapped pictures instead.



13 of us: ttc, kyn, sch, cl, tbl, tkc, wsy, lbl, cmh, hsc, ycc, osl and yep.



Beng Lay's birthday cake, after being in the sun for 3 hours. Melted!!!

TBL: See, my cake...

At the waterfall: all of us, except Darrel Yeap, as he was the camera man!!

WSY: What happened????

Group of girls....

We even sang birthday song for her and ate the birthday cake in the water. Can you imagine that? This is my first encounter eating birthday cake in the water. It's great!! Too bad that I can't upload the video clip of us having the cake in the water....

Yesterday, I surfed through Penquin's blog,

http://www.wretch.cc/blog/IcePenquin&article_id=11954855

and really recalled back those sweet memories that we had in the past one year. I agreed with Penquin that those memories were so fresh as if it happened yesterday. Miss the moment that we had!

Suddenly, I have this weird feelings. Some where in your life, you might be very close with certain friends, had many things to do in common, shared many sweet memories and downs together. But as time passed by, some friends might be lost.

Hai~~ thinking, I have not seen Penquin since our dinner in Ribs in December 2007, Tian Siong since Chinese New Year and so on. Would true friendship last forever and never be forgotten?

I wondered.....

Just saw this message in my MSN from my dear, Kind of belated, rite?

I'm sure most of you out there did enjoy your yesterday.

Well, I went for a dinner with my beloved dear at Little Cottage in Burma Road. The atmosphere over there is great. Quite romantic, I would say. Most of the patrons are couples. We ordered the Valentines Day Set Dinner. I ordered Mediterranean Chicken while Kevin ordered XXXX fish. ( I can't remember the name of that, too bad). Emm, the fish is great, but the chicken is a so so. The appetizer is great! A must try as it is very appetizing.

Guess what, I was in a hurry yesterday, as the dinner was at about 7pm, and I reached home at about 6.20pm. I can't even have the time to refesh myself. In the end, I forgot to bring along my camera. Too pity!!! I do not have any great shots of the atmosphere there, the food, and dear and myself. Hai~~~

Received this forward message, quite meaningful...

有一种爱，很凄迷
有一种爱，只能远望
有一种爱，注定要成传奇... ...
有一种爱，像遥远的大海，即使被酷日蒸干了水分，
它仍会化作甘霖，遍洒饥渴的大地... ...

有一种爱，叫作痛，痛得心脏起了褶子，
痛得头脑空洞无物，痛得意志麻木萧瑟...
有一种爱，叫放弃，
明知道许多事情是没有答案的，
却想找寻一个答案，真的好累...

有一种爱，叫忍让，忍让也是一种爱。
以爱的方式善待对方的缺陷，
用包容的胸怀宽恕自己的爱人，给他一个悔悟的机会，
留一个自省的空间，于平平淡淡中演绎经典，
在无声无语中融洽恩爱。
这样，即使是不传奇的爱情也将变得永恒；
再平淡的婚姻，依然一如既往令人流连。

有一种爱，叫放手
曾经天真的以为不管时间和空间的距离有多长多远，
感情一定会恒久不变，因为爱是没有理由的........
爱不能成为牵绊，所以要选择放手，
从容的让彼此走出彼此的世界。
凡事到极至，伤也会痛。
其实爱过就会懂，
彼此个性的太过坚强终究会是一起生活的阴影。
昨日的幸福已成为一种痕迹。
两人能携手走完整人生固然美好，
可陪上了一段也应心存感激了。
爱一个人不是要成为所爱的人的牵绊，
只要心中有爱，生活总是那么美好。
相遇是一种缘，相识，相恋更是一种缘，
缘起而聚，缘尽而散，放手才是真爱！

有一种爱，叫离开
曾经以为自己的爱情能够长久，
曾经以为真心的付出就能够换来幸福。
其实错了... ...
爱情给的唯一的东西就是背叛，无情的背叛！
曾经是那么相爱的两个人，转眼陌路。
留下的是残缺不全的记忆和心痛。
没有想到结局会是这样，曾经的海誓山盟，
曾经的天长地久转眼都成了飞灰。
还记得她口中的永远，让我恍若梦中，
但梦醒的时候，才发觉她早已离开。

有一种爱，可以默默的爱，
默默的理解，默默在心里装满祝福，
挥一挥手，让春草绵绵，落红成阵。
就是有这样的感情啊，
飘荡成缠绵而温暖的空气，
就是在这样无心的眷恋里，
我们认识自己也认识世间，
就是有这样无缘而有情的瞬间，
让我们轻轻的叹息，深深的爱。

Tomorrow is Valentines Day. Wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day!!
Share this special day with your valentine with a sincere heart and may everyone be blessed!!

At last, I passed my Certified Financial Planner (CFP) exam! I'm so so so happy. It's a great news for Chinese New Year!
Thanks to all my friends for your wishes. I managed to pass through this exam at last.

After 2 years of hard effort, finally, it paid off. Great!! Feel so great!!

Today, we worked till 3++pm. Then, couple of us went to Red Box to celebrate the end of working for Piggy year. Only few of us went,as most of them prefer to go for shopping instead.

Even though only a handful of us, but we really enjoyed ourselves much.

Counting from left: Kok Ee, Caroline, Tian Siong,
Beng Lay, Chee Huey, Tian Hong and Teik Tye.

Memories...

Yesterday night, went to Rasa Sayang for buffet dinner with dear, dear's parents, Dr Soh, Ah Sok and Pan Mee's family.

It's a farewell dinner for Dr. Soh as he will be leaving Penang this Saturday. He treated all of us there.

Well, it's my second time to Rasa Sayang since its refurbishment. Last visit was during my birthday in 2006.

Wow, the scenery over there is fantastic. We took a picture at the entrance with Ah Sok.
The buffet dinner is great though I don't eat much. Hehe.. I enjoyed taking pictures instead.

Have taken a few shots of its great desserts. A must try when you intend to have dinner there.

A group photo at the end of the day:

Yesterday, I received a very meaningful message.
Wish to share with you guys.
It reads:

香烟爱上火柴就注定被伤害。。。
不要轻易说爱，许下的承诺就是欠下的债。。。
老鼠对猫说我爱你，猫说你走开，
老鼠流泪走开，谁也没看到老鼠走后，猫也流了一滴泪。。。
其实有一种爱情叫做放弃。。。

风筝一辈子只会为一根线冒险。。。
女人善变的是脸，男人善变的是心。。。
在爱情的世界里，没有谁对不起谁，只有谁不懂真惜谁。。。
遇到了真爱就不要轻易说离开。。。
要记得捉紧爱情，而不是抓伤彼此的感情。。。
不要忘了真爱难寻。。。

我对着星空凝望
回忆共渡的时光
我拥有你的陪伴
日子果然不一样

一二三四五六七
很想与你在一起
与你相处的日子
心里感觉很甜蜜

我想：
我真的爱上了你
爱上你真的好难
爱你我需要勇气
想你却不能来电

现在的我很孤单
天开始变得阴暗
我对你念念不忘
你是否像我一样？

我俩之间的恋情
是否早已被注定
有你在我的身旁
我就省掉了思念

Baby-T on my palm, 3 years ago. See, he's so tiny and cute, rite?
He's my dear's pet. We started to keep Big-T, Small-T, Baby-T and Naught-T as pets three years ago while we were in KL.

I miss you, Baby-T...

It's been kinda long since I last posted articles on my blog coz' I'm busy and don't have that mood to write. Hehe...

Ever after since my date with Daphne, I met up with Siew when she dropped by a night with me. We had a great chat though. You see, when we started working, we seldom get to meet up with our friends. Thanks God that when we meet up, we still have topics to linger about. Else, the friendship won't last. To me, when you're working, you'd be spending most of your time with your colleagues, and eventually, you would tend to share most of your ups and downs with them. But, don't ever forget those good old friends that you tend to mix around with in those good old days.

Today is Andrew's wedding, but I can't make it. It's really fast that he's getting married. Wish him all the best and be happy, be merry forever!! Glad to hear that he met a girl whom he cherishes for life.

I just came back from SP after a week of audit there. Damn tired. Coz' we've been working till midnight daily. I'm so exhausted. Thank goodness that Kok Ee helped me to drive most of the journey, else I would be even worse. Hehe.. We stayed in Swiss Inn. Gosh! This is the first hotel that I've been to with families of mosquitoes in the room. Too bad... We got bitten, then the housekeeping staff came in with mosquitoes spray to get rid of them. The breakfast over here is better than those of Park Avenue where we used to stay in during our interim audit. However, we did work hard, eat hard and enjoy hard this trip. This should be my very last outstation audit trip. Gotta take a good rest then.. and battling for those December year end files.

Tonight, I went for a date with Daphne. We haven't met each other since long long time ago. She is my best friend since primary school.

We chatted for the whole night, from A to Z. I really started to miss the moments while we were in schools, where we used to share everything in our lives, from ups to downs. Since graduated, we met less often. chatted less often. However, we have decided not to let this continue and to meet at least once in every two months from now onwards.

She is right: while we were studying, our topics would linger around school work, family and friends. As we grow older, things changed and our topics also changed. It is now: When are you getting married? Work related, relationship related and so on. Hehe... Hope this would continue, and in future, our topics would be our family, holidays and retirement. Wow Gosh! This is too long ahead!!! Wahaha..

I really enjoyed our gathering tonight! Misya, gal..

Later, I met Ker Tyng in Tesco.
She was shocked to see that I cut my hair.. I really started to miss my hair as everyone is saying that I look better with my EX-HAIR. Sob Sob~~~~~

Joy to the world...

Yeah !! Christmas is around the corner again. How I miss the Christmas that I went for caroling and celebrated in T.O.P. years ago..

May your Christmas be merry and bright!!!

Have a blessed Christmas...my dear friends...

Yeah..At last, my exam is over and I'm heading to Langkawi.

I cut my hair again, it's getting damn short. Hai~~~ A bit regret, I miss my hair. I think I look better with longer hair, do you think so?

On 17th Dec, we reached Langkawi at about 1pm. We headed to the hotel, took a bath and drove around Langkawi. Later, we went to shop for duty free chocolates. Wow, there are lots of chocolates and I like white chocolates so much!!

On the second day, we went to Crocodile Farm, cable car ride and Underwater World.

In fact, we did not manage to visit much places due to time constraints and physical exhaustion.

The Langkawi trip is very exhausted and it drained off all my energy and mood, maybe it's due to the ferry ride.

However, it's an enjoyable trip indeed. Thanks to my dear, Beng Lay, Tze Chin and Chee Huey for spending this trip with me. Too bad that Hoang Yaw and Tian Siang cound not join us.

On my birthday, we went to have dinner in this restaurant-Bon Ton Restaurant. it's great! You must go and try it though it's quite expensive.


I'm so glad and thanks for making this a memorable trip for me.. Yeah!!!

你一直在我身边
我却从未留意过
你给于我的关怀
我却从未珍惜过

无时无刻
你都守在我身边
时时刻刻
你不曾离我而去

谢谢你
在我冰冷时 你给于我拥抱
在我失落时 你献出的鼓励

谢谢你的贴心

I just got my hair cut yesterday.
It looks not so good, rite??

Went to Cameron Highlands with Kevin's family on 24th November 2007. It's their annual family trip. If not mistaken, I've missed the trip for two years consecutively since I started working.

Wow, the air in Cameron is so fresh!!
On Saturday, we went to the Boh Tea factory.
The tea plantation is really so huge!

Later, we went to Bukit Brinchang.
It's the highest mountain in Cameron.
We even climbed up the watch tower. Wow, it's so high!

Thereafter, we went to the strawberry plantation.
We were given the chance to pick and pluck our own strawberries.
The berries are so fresh.
May, I'm having the berries on behalf of you.
Hehe.. However, too bad that they are not very sweet.
I'm just enjoying the process of it.

It's the end of Cameron. My dear and I headed down to KL on Monday. We stayed in Thiam Lok's house. Wow, his house is great! How I wish I could own a house like that. It's not very big, but I really feel comfortable staying there.

We also dropped by to visit goddad and family. We spent nearly an hour finding ways to reach goddad's house even though with GPS. Hehe, becoz' I don't know how to read the map. Blek~~

We went shopping, almost to every mall in KL.
I'm so exhausted throughout. However, I really enjoyed the trip!
My dear & I in the Aquaria KLCC...------->

Yesterday, a shocking news of my life came to me.

A secondary school mate of mine got kidnapped!! When Siew first told me about the news, I was like: Is that true? Maybe people are just spreading the news over the Internet...

Then I asked my mum to reconfirm the news, as the victim is also my third degree cousin. It seems that her late grandpa was my late grandpa's cousin. And, it was true! She really got kidnapped and everyone in the family, circle of friends and nation is worried about her safety.

Though we are not very closely knit, when I thought of her late last night, I could not fall asleep either, and I'm sure everyone is praying for her safety.

Luckily, the kidnappers released her early this morning. I'm sure her dad have to fork up a huge sum for that!!! But, thank God, she's in safe hands now.

I was thinking to myself, Hey, what kind of world are we staying in? Is Malaysia still a safe place for everyone of us and for our future generations?

Why cannot people just let go of hatred, greediness and etc and let us live in safety and harmony?

Let's cultivate this culture that, we should live in harmony, as a big family!!!

我想要的想做的你比谁都了
你想说的想给的我全都知道
未接来电没留言
一定是你孤单的想念
任何人都猜不到
这是我们的暗号

他们猜随便猜不重要
连上彼此的讯号
才有个依靠

有太多人太多事
夹在我们之间咆哮
杂讯太多讯号
就连风吹都要干扰
可是你不想一直走在黑暗地下道
想吹风想自由想要一起手牵手
去看海绕世界流浪

我害怕你心碎没人帮你擦眼泪
别管那是非只要我们感觉对
我害怕你心碎没人帮你擦眼泪
别离开身边拥有你我的世界才能完美

你说你想逃开松手
爱太累爱得不自由
因为我给不起最简单的承诺
你停止收讯号我开始搜寻不到
到底有谁知道是几点钟方向
你才会收到暗号

To be frank, I seldom to listen to Jay Chow's song, because I can't understand what is he 'mumbling' about.

One day, Darrel played Jay's songs while giving us a lift to some where. Then, he recommended me that to listen to this song as it's a nice song. At the first 'glance', I really don't know what was he singing about. Then, thanks to the Internet that I managed to find the lyrics and download that piece of music online. Then, I fall in love with this song. I like the meaning and its lyrics.

As a coincidence for me to come about this, the amended lyrics of this song as well.

Let's enjoy it!

我想要的想做的你比谁都了
为你付出的一切你却不知道
或许你不在乎过
我的感受感觉与话语
你的行动与话语
我都铭刻在心底

他不了她不了不重要
我只在乎你明瞭
只因我爱你
有太多人太多事
夹在我们之间包哮
杂讯太多讯号
就连你也开始变心

可是我却想一直守在你的左右旁
一直等一直想你会回心与转意
在乎我重视我爱我

我害怕你心碎没人帮你擦眼泪
所以我不曾离开过你的身边
我害怕你心碎没人帮你擦眼泪
可是你却是一而再再而三地伤我的心

你给我希望与失望
爱太累爱得不自由
因为你给不起最简单的承诺
我唯独自伤心死心默默地离开
到底有谁知道是几点钟方向
你停止发送暗号
