CNY 2013

It's been a week since Chinese New Year ended. And I would say, it was a good one. =) It was packed with family visits, meeting up with friends, Captain Awesome was in town, Anne was back from New Zealand. The only regret was not being able to meet up with Myjojo when he was back. Sigh. But still, it was good. And I get to take a week break from work. Ahhhhhhh...=)

I went up to Penang hill with the new train for the first time!! Hehehe. Quite fast eh the train. And because we came down at 11pm (which is also the last train down), we had the whole "compartment" to ourselves. Hehehe.

[Went cycling with Captain Awesome]

Met up with my high school friends on the 4th day of CNY and had our "reunion lunch" at this place, half way going up Balik Pulau. I can't really remember the name of the makan place, but this was what happened:
We were seated at a place where the sun was really bright and glaring, so we asked for a change of place. There were approximately 30 tables there, and only 3 were occupied, but you know what the waitress said?
NO.
So we requested to talk to the manager, expecting a different answer, but she said the same thing, and gave us the reason that they've already keyed in our orders for our table number. However, if we really want to, we have to move all our food and cutleries on our own. WTH.
I find it hilarious and annoying at the same time, 'cause the reason they gave just doesn't make sense to me, especially if the rest of the tables are empty and not reserved.

[So this is what happens when you pissed off 10 ladies:
Yes. They mess up your table real bad.]
 

[Bet we are all blacklisted from that restaurant now. =.="]

I also met up with my Form 6 buddies, and 3 out of 6 of us are medical representatives, from different companies. But head to head competitors. LOL.

[Once a bestie, always a bestie. No matter how things have changed.]
The end of Chinese New Year also means I have to start working like a cow, in order to end my first quarter sales well... *Feeling dreadful, but fingers crossed*

Should I..?

It's 除夕 today!! It's the day before Chinese New Year where families would usually have their Reunion dinner. =) So,
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR in advance to you people out there!! And have an awesome reunion dinner. =)

Anyway, my post today has nothing to do with Chinese New Year, maybe except the ang pow 'cause it will help me decide how to reward myself. Hehehe. 
I really worked my a** off last year, especially in December to hit my target. Yea it was tough, and I even have people telling me that it's impossible for me to achieve my target because I was an extra headcount in my area. Don't understand? Let me explain.

There are 10 chickens in a barn. And the owner prepares 10 portion of chicken feed for these chicks. Then there came another chicken, but the owner only has enough to prepare for 10 chickens. Go figure on what happens next. Haha. This is just a very surface explanation of the whole story la okay?

But by God's grace, I was able to pull through last year, and I can proudly say, I did fairly well. =) Not because I'm capable, but because I did my best, and the Big Fella up there did the rest. 
So I've decided to get myself something to encourage myself to do better this year, but I have so many things I want/need I don't know which to choose. Maybe you peeps could help me decide? =)

1. Oalkey Fast Jacket (Polarized lens)
The first Oakley that I set my eyes on was actually the Jawbone, but when I tried on it, it wasn't comfortable. I think my nose wasn't high enough for the nose piece (Haha. Chinese ma..what chu expect. Pfffft.), so the frame was actually sitting on my cheek instead. The Fast Jacket fitted better, and it's white and red, with orange lenses... Awesome laaa.. Hehe.

2. Lumix GF5
I've wanted the earlier model - GF3 since 3 years ago, but was really, really hesitant 'cause the price was RM2k++. Then when I finally started working and had some to spend, I spent it on my bike, Dreamer. =.=" I'm not really good at photography, but I love taking down memories in pictures. 'Cause if there's something I learn in my 25 years of life, is that once a moment has passed, it has passed. That adorable smile or laughter from a baby; the first time you watch a sunset together with your loved one, they won't come back when it's gone.

3. Get a new set of rim and tyres. And add two lines on my car. ;) Make it look slightly more badass.

4. Keep the money and save up for something better.
Pffffft.
If only I had a tree that grows money on it. Hehehehehe. =)

Then came first day of CNY!!!
Red packets!!! Nyehehehehe..*rubs palms together with evil laughter*
Hahahahahahaha!! :)
As usual, went to grandma's and aunt's place. :)
It's always good to see everybody coming back together and making alot of noise at ah ma's house. LOL.
The only thing that's making me sad, is realizing that Dee's really getting old. Sigh. :'(
[Happy family. :) HUAT AH!!!]

[Girlie & Eeleen. Yessss. My aunt's name is Girlie. Heheheee.]

[Adrian & myself. Small eyes runs in the family. Mata sepet rocks!!]

Sorry for the similar poses. Abit stoned when taking pictures. LOL.

Met up with the bunch of high school smarty pants a few days later. :D After so many years, still a crazy bunch. I guess the smarter you are, the crazier you get?? LOL.
[Classmates. :) ]

[Clockwise from top: peiwen,keetheng,seenuan,syenyee,eeleen,miowyin]

[Love this pic. Just because I look like some weird cartoon character here. :D]

Okay. The End. :)
Hehe. Sorry ah. Boring post.

Chinese New Year 2012 (Part 1)

This year's CNY was pretty special. :)
You know why??
'Cause for the first time after 4 years I don't have to dread flying back for classes after a week of CNY hols!!! Wheeeee!!
I just had to dread going to work. Pffffffffttt.
But oh well, not complaining when I'm earning $$$. :D

So here's some update on how I spent CNY, since someone complaint that my blog's rather dead. LOL. Soweeeeeeee. Busy ma. :)

Went shopping with Mee a day before CNY, and was expecting Gurney Plaza to be rather empty since people are busy preparing for reunion dinner. BUT MANA TAU?!?!?!?!?!?!? Finding a parking space was as hard as finding a green pea on a patch of green grass. Grrrrrrr.
[Meeeeeeeee!!!!!! Best name to call out when you cannot find your tshirtunderwearspoontoiletroll. Hehe. Love you Mee. :) ]

[Forever annoying Eeleen]
 
[Ended up spending nearly RM400 on this leather jacket from Esprit. *Never again* 
But then I really like it laaa. Been looking for a leather jacket for years. LOL.]

Went to my aunt's friend's house up in Penang hill for steamboat dinner that night. Freezing cold I tell you!!
[Perfect weather for steamboat ;) ]

[Eeleen loves fishball is a lie. HAHA.]

[Cousins Caitlyn, Kassidy, Adrian :) Weijin in blue.]

[Charcoal heated steamboat is still the best! Dee's favorite. :) ]

[Weijin trying to be funny in Toy'r'us. If only I had a real light sabre. Hmmmmmm.]

[Lights you only see during CNY. :) ]
Happy Chinese New Year 2012, peeps!! :)

捞鱼生

It's the last day of Chinese New Year so I my as well post something to end CNY 2011 la. =)
Went lou sang with the girls in Sushi King yesterday. It's my 2nd time doing it, though I don't really understand the purpose behind it. But aiya. For the fun of it. =)
[Teeheeheeeee. Guess who's NOT camera shy at all? =)]
[Sushi King's Yee Sang. Very yummy!! See the things by the side? They are actually tempura flour batter. And my friends joke about it saying that it's the leftover from all the fried tempura the kitchen prepared for other customers and gave it to us. =.=" Probably true though. Hahahaha. =D]
[Close up. Consist of scallop, crab meat, jelly fish, salmon, raw fish, fried egg, shredded carrot, reddish, cucumber and...cannot remember. =D]
[Dang! The camera loves me!]
[Awww..=) Errr..Hueyyyyyyyi..why are you not looking at the camera??]
[All smiles. =) Canon 95 Ixus]
[All smiles. =) Canon 1000D]
Actually I kinda just got home from floorball training. And guess what CK saw near his place??
[A lighted up lion dance! Hahahaha..So nice right??]
Didn't know it would be so festive and happening here in KK on Chap Goh Meh. =)
[We saw 5 lions dancing together..]
 [I even recorded fireworks, standing so close to it that the ashes landed on top of my head.=)]
So, Happy Chap Goh Meh all you people out there. =) Enjoy throwing your oranges!

CNY 2011

It's true when people say that one will learn the importance of Chinese New Year as he or she grows up. It used to be all about ang paos, fireworks, CNY cookies & food but now.. I find myself excited about CNY 'cause..sadly, that's very much the only time I get to see all my family and friends. =]

[Meet Bunnie! A gift from Sam. Thanks Sam!]
 [& this is my forever annoying..Ooops..I mean loving dad. Hehe. =)))]
 [Love that money can't buy. =) With an extra special guest!
Not guest anymore la actually. =)]
 [My 2 cousin sisters with their ...... faces. Indescribable. LOL.]
But well, nothing beats spending my Bunny Chinese New Year with loved ones. =)
And I get to meet up with my AWESOME bunch of childhood besties too who made me stand in front to hold the camera while taking pictures 'cause they say I'm the shortest causing my face to look the biggest in all of the pics and going up and down the escalator in Queensbay looking like a bunch of crazy girls! X) HAHA! But it was fun. =)

Hang out with the high school babes too! =) Didn't miss out Cheyyi this time. =)
 
 Sorry for the poor pic. It's an Instax scanned into pc. Hehe. Paiseh. =D
I don't know what lies ahead..but let the days come.. 'Cause I know my future's in God's hands..=)
Happy Chinese New Year peeps! =)
