Feelings, Thoughts and Such ....

Let it go

2011-04-18T15:23:00.003+08:00

I have been thinking about this everyday, dont know why it just comes naturally. Maybe because I did not expect it coming my way.

Maybe I should learn to let it go and move on. I feel things have changed since .... maybe feelings have changed ... is it not the same anymore ... there are so many questions but no answers .... I need to know. If there is nothing to hide, then why not agree to what I asked ....

Should I let it go and pull back my feelings so that if anything happens again, I will not feel the hurt so much. Of course it will still hurt but at least I stop somewhere along the way ....

It has been a long time

2011-04-15T16:08:00.005+08:00

Wow it has been a long time since I updated this blog of mine ... well I've been busy with work and stuff ...

Something happened in my life recently which I never expected that it will happen to me. Life is so unpredictable, like the saying goes "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get" ...

I felt the hurt and I cant help myself from thinking about it ... why did it happen ... did I do anything wrong ...

Hebe

Divas now !

Divas in bird nest !

This is a backdated post ..... went for the SHE's concert in Bukit Jalil and it was a blast. The girls have grown up now and they revamped their costumes and dance chereography to make it more fresh and current and I loved it! They have come a long way and I hope they don't disband in the near future (heard some news about them going their own ways). The fans also celebrated Hebe's birthday that night and bought her a jelly cake. Could feel that Hebe has the biggest fan base because everytime her name is being mentioned, the cheers from her fans are the loudest.

I attended their previous concert two years ago at the Merdeka Stadium, tickets courtesy of Jack Lim. They have grown up so much since and each one of them have their own cuteness and uniqueness. I remembered during the previous concert, Ella sang a song she wrote for her dog who has gone to heaven and she cried when she sang that song .... it was so touching.

What a weekend ....

2010-03-23T19:26:00.004+08:00

Attended Sammi's Love Mi World Tour concert in Genting on Friday night, stayed the night and came back the next morning. Then off to Tropicana Mall to see Fahrenheit ... yes Wu Chun is in town again!!! Then went for a super duper concert at night at Stadium Putra.

Phewww ... events back to back. Now I've got to crack my head and let the juices flow .... and tons of pictures to edit .... this is life man :)

Sammi had 7 change of awesome costumes and we could snap away the whole night. She was fantabulous.

Fahrenheit was a bit disappointing because they did not sign for all .... I guess constraint by timing again. They did not sing ... just talk a bit and autograph session only.

Super Junior was electrifying ... my chair was vibrating the whole night and my heart was throbbing together with the beat of the music. The ELFs were wild and screaming away. After the concert ended, I could hear ringing in my ears ....

Will be posting pictures soon ..... :)

Sammi Cheng Love Mi Concert 2010

2010-03-15T22:54:00.003+08:00

Will be going for Sammi's concert this Friday at AOS .... given a room to stay for the night, as usual. This is the very first time I'm catching her in action ... wondering how her concert is going to be like.

The next night is going to be .... tada .... SUPER JUNIOR's concert. Heard so very much about this group of 13 members, biggest boy band in the world! Keeping my anticipation at a high level ... we shall see :)

Well I was supposed to interview Allan Wu this afternoon ... was quite looking forward to it. Did my preparations etc ... searched all the info I needed and armed with questions to ask him. Then last night when I called the organizers to find out what time I should be there, they told me that the interview was canceled ???? Then I called my editor and she said that a similar article already came out in another paper and this was supposed to be an exclusive one on one interview .... hmmmm. If we were to come out with another similar article one week later ... what will that look like ...

Took Kristin to the gymrama class and then came back and had a restful day with the kids and watched two movies (: Kristin wants to stop her dance class at Yogaria ... very insistently to stop. I just felt that it was a waste to stop the class after being there for so many years but it was her choice.

I still know who she is ...

2010-03-10T13:50:00.004+08:00

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I wasn’t busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while! As she is a victim of Alzheimer's disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me but I still know who she is.' I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm and thought, ¨

'That is the kind of love I want in my life. True love is neither physical nor romantic'.

True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain.

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Almighty God, you will make it to a place called Success. Pass it on to ten people whom you want to see blessed.

Hello 2010 .... Roarrrrrrr

2010-02-24T13:17:00.008+08:00

HELLO 2010 .... I'm a bit late right ... but nevertheless better be late than never (:

Well we are already coming to the third month of the new year .... how time flies. I have not been updating my blog lately maybe too bored but actually a lot of things have happened. I have been busy and would like to thank god for giving me that opportunity.

I met up with my idol face to face again and at close range and chatted with him for about 15 - 20 mins. He's so handsome and so charming ....

I won a Samsung Handphone again !!!

2009-09-16T21:46:00.004+08:00

Well it's been a while since I updated my blog ... been lazy ...

You know what I won another Samsung handphone again !!! This time thanks to Ken Ho for inviting us to the Samsung Fly FM event at Quattro Winter Bar. Not many people turn up for this event cuz it was the first day of puasa. Well guess it was better that way ... keke

I was not feeling that night cuz of my gum infection and I was still under my antibiotics. I only drank a glass of whiskey coke and then water only.

There were 3 handhphones up for grabs. First one was like a competition, the person who did the best DJ (scratching etc) on the phone won it. The second unit was won by someone for some online competition. The third unit was for lucky draw .... They called 3 numbers before calling mine which was number 21. They said the number so softly, I was wondering whether I heard correctly or not. I sprang up and asked around ... is it 21, is it 21 .... then someone answered YES !!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... I won I won ..... the pain from the gum infection totally dissapeared into thin air ...... I walked over to receive my prize from the GM of Samsung (:

This is the latest Samsung Beat DJ phone ... where you can be like a DJ and do scratching and all sorts of stuff on the song while they are playing on the phone !

I do sincerely thank god for this as he has all the plans for each and everyone of us.

What a coincidence that the place we gathered in Pavilion, the Bintang Circle was where our school canteen was and one of the old girls has a shop lot in Pavilion and her lot was where Ms Cooke's office was before ...

I took leave from work and was there for both events. Met up with Lai Meng, Sow Kien, & Ping Ping. Looks like not many came from our year for the morning event. There were more during the gala night and I finally met up with Nancy ... yes ... our very own Dato' Nancy Yeoh. I remember sitting next to her in class those days. Also met Sheena and some other seniors. I noticed that the young malay girls from this school is very modern and open and sexxxyyyy!

RIP Yasmin Ahmad

2009-07-26T19:39:00.004+08:00

Passing of another great celebrity ... this time our very own award winning film director Yasmin Ahmad. Her interracial love story Sepet (2004) was accorded the Best Film Award and the Best Original Screenplay Award at the Malaysian Film Festival 2005. It also bagged the Asian Film Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival 2005, and the Grand Prix Award at the Creteil International Women's Film Festival in the same year.

Talentime (2009)

Actress Azean Irdawaty wrote a special poem dedicated to Yasmin:

She was an angel
God sent us
No, he lent us
To be a storyteller
Who spun stories of
Magic, joy and enchantment
Who we often lose sight of
Her fight was brief
Her leaving was a grief
Just like her movies
The end came too soon
But her wisdom remain
like words to a tune
That we will hold dear
Forever you will be near.
I love you Yasmin
I will miss you always.

Michael Jackson Memorial Service - 7 July 2009

2009-07-08T19:56:00.014+08:00

What a heartfelt and touching moment of tribute to the King Of Pop. Each and everyone said it all and the tears came rolling down ...

The most heart wrenching moment was when Paris talked about her daddy ~~~

"Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine And I just want to say that I love him so much"

My tears are still flowing ...

Michael's favourite song "SMILE" ~~~ smile though your heart is aching ~~~

Rest in peace Michael, you are definitely in a much better place now ...

Remembering The Legend - Michael Jackson, The King Of Pop

2009-06-30T22:25:00.005+08:00

Sony Music organized a tribute to MJ at 1U on Sunday, 28 June 2009. It was a very memorable event as everyone gathered together to pay tribute to the King Of Pop. We watched videos of him, watched his impersonators dance to his music and some of his biggest fans in the audience danced and sing his music. We signed the big wall with our messages and held candles while singing his songs together in unison. It was indeed a great opportunity for us to be there and pay respect to the one and only Michael Jackson. There were also some touching moments when we could not hold back our tears ....

Yasmin Yusuf was the MC for the night and she was wearing the cap which she bought during the History World Tour in Malaysia in 1996. I brought along my big orange hand, which I bought during the concert, already 13 years old. I am very very glad that we went for that concert and it was worth every cent !!!

Michael has "Gone too soon" but he will always be in our hearts. He may have gone but he left a legacy in his music which will live on forever and ever. We dont care how his eyes, his nose or his cheeks looks like, or what colour is his skin, we only care about how his music has changed the world and make it a better place for you and for me.

REST IN PEACE MICHAEL AND GOD BLESS ....

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON

2009-06-26T09:14:00.007+08:00

I got a shock this morning when I switched on my radio. Mixfm was playing MJ songs and I was like wondering why .... then the DJ started to talk and I got the shock of my life .... Michael Jackson has passed away this morning (Msian Time) !!!

Nooooo .... how come the King of Pop passed away so young in life ...

No matter what people say about his personal life and whatever, to me he is still the super mega star and I truly enjoy his music. His music shall forever live in our lives forever and ever.

This is a very sad day and a great loss for the music world.

RIP MJ and may god bless his soul ....

I am very very sad ... cant get over this news ...

I won a Samsung Handphone !!!

2009-06-21T23:19:00.009+08:00

First and Second prize winner

Winners with Anas

At the counter collecting my prize

Black with a dash of red ..... ;P

The fantastic four .... keke

Ermmmm .... no comments

Me & Anas all dressed in the blacks and reds

Part II

Met this guy who wore a jacket on the opposite side, tight pants and red high heels.

Guess what ??? .......... I won second prize in the Samsung Chic Pop party at The Apartment, KLCC on 11 June 2009. I got an invitation from them to attend this very first party organized by Samsung and off we went. Dress code was black with a dash of red ... well I dressed black with red earrings (actually more pink than red). We had free flow alcoholic drinks like "Intensity", red coloured strong stuff, dont know what it was but it was strong and nice! They served cocktail and I had something like chocolate creme puffs ... was delicious as the chocolate creme inside was cold and they whole thing tasted fabs!

When we arrived, we signed in and got ourselves a goodie bag. Then proceeded upstairs for the event. Filled up a questionnaire for lucky draw. Hanged around ... did the DIY phone bag with bling bling. Put the red coloured bling blings on fire and stick them on the phone bag .... but the bling bling comes off very easily. They also have a DIY section to do a head gear with a big red flower and nettings. They have a make up counter by Make Up Store .... where you can go have your make up done by them. Btw we have an envelope in our goodie bag whereby we can get one free private makeup course, which includes skincare at their store worth RM200!

We called Dragon to join us here before going over to Quattro Winter Bar launching at Avenue K. They came over and had some drinks and food.Then we decided to leave and go to Quatrro ( will blog about this later).

We decided to leave Quattro after getting freezed in the winter garden and go back to The Apartment to see if we won anything but on the way back, I got an sms from an unknow number... Congrats Yee Ling, you won second prize ...... whooohoooohoooo.... at least they sms the winners. The retail price is RM1099.00. First prize was the touch screen phone priced at RM1899.00. BTW met Hsien Huey (Pinkies) there and she won a laptop cover .

But at the end of the day .. I felt a bit tipsy and you can definitely see if from my red face ... but my face gets red even with a little bit of alcohol....

Thanks to Samsung for a great fun filled night and the handsome prize.

Thanks so much to Dragon and Anas for the great pics !

Tomok's Kenduri - 12.06.09

2009-06-15T12:58:00.007+08:00

Dragon invited us to go for Tomok's (the one in a million season 3 winner) Kenduri at his house in Desa Permai, Cheras. I think it's something like a thanksgiving celebration for winning OIAM. No regrets going cuz we met Jac and her protege there and there were so much food including "tau fu fah"!. His place is a open gated community with guards, looks very nice and warm. I guess a lot of his relatives are also staying there including his sister, Isma. She was the only female in the finals for AF this season. They are celebrating this together.

They even gave away thank you pens to all who came ... very thoughtful of them. The whole family is very friendly.

Here's wishing them the very best in whatever they do and may they soar to greater heights.

What's Up

2009-06-03T09:53:00.006+08:00

Ayam back !!!

My PC was admitted into the ICU and still not back yet ): .... my hard disk crashed and luckily it was still under warranty and so now waiting for the warranty to come back. Been surfing with someone's laptop on and it was not nice to d/load and u/load stuff in there. Really feels like handicap when you dont have your computer ...

Nothing much happened ... life was quite boring but one thing for sure, I trully regretted not going for the FLH's PC last Saturday ): ): ):

I attended a group discussion on website bookings etc by MAS and had a tour of their training academy in Kelana Jaya .... was quite interesting, will try to post some pics later.

I am truly enjoying my line dancing classes .... cant wait to learn those 64 steps songs ... good exercise too !

Lee Hom " Music Man" Live In Malaysia - 2 May 2009

2009-05-06T22:20:00.002+08:00

Move over Indiana Jones, Batman, Superman, Incredible Hulk, Bruce Lee, Lara, Ironman and Spiderman, because we have the latest superhero in town ….. THE MUSIC MAN with his weapon, a dragon-shaped electric guitar named Bahamut and he is here to save the world through his music.

Wang Lee Hom sang, bbox, rap, played his Bahamut, the grand piano, drums and violin and even did a dance routine in front of 25,000 odd fans who sang along with him. He showed his vocal prowess immaculately and versatility in handling different musical genres such as mandopop, rock, jazz, R&B and also traditional Chinese music. Everything blended in perfectly from the band, the huge digital screens, back up dancers and lightings.

Danell Lee (Malaysian Idol Season II winner) opened the show with his energetic rendition of “Yin Wei You Ai” in which he did a few hip hop moves. Karen Kay (Project Superstar Season III winner) was the second guest performer. She did a medley of two songs “Wo Lian Ai Ler “and “Ka Tong Ren”, dancing to cute moves.

Finally the moment everyone was waiting for came and the crowd was screaming for him. Lee Hom’s Bahamut made a grand entrance, coming down from the top and landed on the floor. Then it made its way back up again. Then the Music Man came down in something that looked like a small flying saucer. After singing the third song, he changed his guitar to the Bahamut and stunned the crowd. After singing the fifth number, Lee Hom came down stage and the crowd went frenzy and everyone rushed to the front.

He mesmerized the crowd while playing on the grand piano, singing a few songs which included “Ni Bu Zhai” and “Wei Yi’. Nearing the end of the concert, Lee Hom did a disappearing act. He went into a box on the stage and the next second he appeared somewhere in the middle of the stadium. The crowd started to mob him but luckily, the organizers have already stationed security personnel on both sides of the walkway to escort him back on stage.

Lee Hom sang a total of 28 songs with 3 songs during encore. His final number for the night was Kiss Goodbye which is aptly for the closing. Lee Hom acknowledged his fans from different countries by speaking in their respective languages. Fans from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Singapore, Australia and last but not least Malaysia and the whole stadium roared. I am very sure that his fans do not want to kiss him goodbye ….

My take on the concert @ Rentak Sejuta

Ice Kacang Puppy Love @ 22 April 2009

2009-05-04T13:46:00.011+08:00

Lina asked me if I wanted to be a part of the supporting cast for this movie written, directed and acted by our very own Ah Niu ( his real name is Tan Kheng Seong). Initially I told her no but then after reading the papers about this movie and the strings of well known names who is going to be in it, I called her immediately and she managed to put us in, all 4 of us including her and our daughters (we made a pact to bring our daughters along). This movie has roped in our local artistes who have made it big in Taiwan like Lee Sin Jie, Nicholas Teo, Penny Tai. Guang Liang, Victor Wong, Gary Chaw and Fish Leong.

Made under Ah Niu’s newly set up company – Very Good Pictures – Ice Kacang Puppy Love will be the first film to bring together such an illustrious cast of Malaysia’s best known Taiwan-based artistes. The movie is based on his own childhood experiences while growing up in Penang, and Ah Niu plays a secondary schoolboy who is secretly in love with a school mate, played by Lee Sin Je. Victor Wong, Gary Chaw and Fish Leong play the pair’s childhood friends and they all go through the ups and downs of life and of course, the puppy love that goes along with it.

22 April 2009 was the first day they started filming for this movie and Lee Sin Je, Penny Tai & Nicholas Teo were on set. We were the pedestrians who would be walking around the streets of Bukit Bintang/ Lot 10 area. There was a scene crossing the road from Sg Wang to Lot 10 and vice versa. We had to follow the timing from the traffic lights to go and stop, which was quite dangerous in a way but everything went well. I took baby with me for the experience and so she had to skip school for the day.

All in all it was a fun experience, meeting lots of other people doing the same thing as us and also meeting the stars face to face. The only thing was the sun and the heat on that day .... was really HOT! but still a good experience. Thanks Lina !!!

The Easter Celebration Concert - 19 April 2009

2009-04-29T13:29:00.010+08:00

Hey ... these two guys look very familiar (:

The Family (:

The S'gor Philharmonic Society

Robert Lam

Patrik Leong ... this guy was great !

Juwita

JAC - she cut her hair real short

Dueting " The Prayer" ... Excellente !

Appreciation time ...

On 19 Apr 2009, we went for the Easter Celebration Concert held at the PJ Civic Centre in conjunction with Easter. This event was jointly organised by the All Petaling Jaya Resident Association Coalition, Christion Federation Of Malaysia and The Councillors of MBPJ. This year was the first time they organised this concert. The VIP was Teresa Kok and many others MP & Aduns from PKR. We met up with Teresa Kok after the concert and took a picture with her. She's a very friendly person and she even asked us to email the picture to her.

The performers were Jaclyn Victor, Juwita Suwito, Patrick Leong and the Philharmonic Society of Selangor. The MC was Robert Lam and I think he did a great job that night.

I am totally amazed with Patrick Leong .... Robert Lam introduced him as a scaled down Pavarotti and truly he was !!! He has a very powerful voice and sang very well. He sang mostly songs he wrote himself ... christian songs which were very nice and meaningful.

David Archuleta Live In Malaysia - 11.04.09 @ Sunway Amphiteather

2009-04-12T09:14:00.004+08:00

Met Nikki & Nubhan there ... sat on the same row

Hao Ren was the first opening act

Followed by Alif ... he came out from NS to perform here

Danell Lee ... someone commented that he dressed like the Jonas Bros

" ahhhhhhhhh .... screammmmmsssss .....

Wow this boy really wowed everyone yesterday and the frenzy and screams were unbelievable !!!

The crowd was more than 5000 in the hot and humid venue but I guess nobody mind ... David A. blew everyone away ... he's got such a strong voice and very good voice control. He came back to play the keyboard during encore and did a smashing job ... wondering how come he did not win idol last year ....

Thanks so much to Danell & DFC for the tickets ...

What can I say .... It was a total blast !!! Awesome .....

Thanks so much to Wirda & Jo for the tics (:

I was expecting to go in as media under but it did not happen so I thought my chances to go would be gone till I got a call from Jo that Wirda just put in her status that she has 2 tics to give away and I told Jo to please message her on my behalf and the rest was history. Thanks so much to my dear Jo but actually you know, I kinda regret not buying the VIP tics because it was really worth it !!!

The 3 hours plus passed so fast and then it was the end of the concert.... so sad .... they came back for encore and did about 3-4 more songs. All in all they sang about 33 songs ... sang and sweated all the way ....

Karen Kong did the opening for them with one song and we did earth hour in one minute (: .... meaning they switched off the lights for one minute. The guest singer was Jade Liu LiYang, the lady who duet with Aaron for the Ti Amo song. She is good !!

Each of them have their own specialty and they all talented in their own ways.

Calvin - I did not know that he could bbox so well !!!
Aaron - played the grand piano
Jiru - played the guitar
Chun - played the drums

I sat way at the upper tier on the second row .... but managed to take some nice picture, will be posting them soon ....

They invited 4 fansi and they came on stage to just walk around with 4 of them holding their hands for one song ... wow ... what a dream come true for these 4 ... sure cannot sleep liao that nite!

I enjoyed the concert very much even though sitting so far away .... but I will definitely buy the vip tics for their next concert .... but dont know when they will here again .....

4 days / 3 nights Guilin Tour (c/w rooms, transfers, all meals and sightseeing tour) and
5 days/ 4 nights Hangzhou/Shanghai Tour (c/w rooms, transfers, most meals and sightseeing tour)

ALL THIS FOR RM 499 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only for the 1st 300 pax and it is transferable too! Meaning if you only use Phuket and you want to give your parents to go to Guilin and your sister to Hangzhou .... also can!!!

I say this is damn cheappppppppppppppppp but travel period is fro 15 Sep 2009 till 30 Aug 2010. So means they take your cash first and roll but I still say it's cheap cheap. When I enquired, the sales person told me that the 1st 300 already sold, so the price increased to RM 599.00 .... still cheap cheap !!! So they took in cash RM 150,000.00 for this package alone ... how about the other packages they were offering ...

But anyway .... we met some interesting characters all the way from Dreamworld, Gold Coast and Kristin had the "Best Day Ever ...." if you know Spongebob's song ...

FaceWarp ... funny stuff

2009-03-07T22:50:00.006+08:00

Kimmy discovered this application in my handphone and we all had a very good laugh looking at the outcome of the pictures .... this is known as facewarp.

Watch for the last picture ..... wakakaka

Danell Lee Musical Showcase 27 Feb 2009

2009-02-28T17:32:00.004+08:00

Danell had his very first musical showcase something like a mini concert last night at the Auditorium in Wisma MCA.

He has come a long since winning Malaysian Idol in 2005 and we have been behind him all these while. I am sure his parents is very proud of him and so are we. He has proved that he is capable of going great stuff once he has set his mind on and successfully took us on a spectacular journey to see the other side of Danell Lee in that short moment of time. In my opinion, Danell is ready to take on more challenging task in the music arena.

Quoting his father ....

"Every detail is personally supervised by Danell himself, the lights and sound effects, the timing... the backdrops, where the band and equipments will be. Where to come in and how to go out have to be rehearsed and plan before hand. The backup singers have to be trained and every tune practiced because they were never in such a grand show before. Every second and minute has to be calculated to fill in the one hour show. It is a first for him to be a performer and event manager and art director all rolled into one. Not because they can't afford one but for the sake of the satisfaction of wanting it the way it is visioned"

Congratulations and well done !!! Danell has certainly achieved what he aimed to do and we all went home wanting more from him ... besides having a "high fever" ....

I wish Danell all the very best in his next step in the music industry and to keep up the good work and always reach for the stars ...

One In A Million is back !!!

2009-02-22T22:46:00.009+08:00

The host, Awal & Marion

Handsome & pretty

The Judges, Shafinaz & Paul

The one who got immunity, Esther

The top 12

Ning, the vocal coach for this year

One in a million is back and it's supposed to be the best ever ....

Indeed it is !!! We went for the top 12 live show in Plaza Alam Sentral and it was a great show. Each one has their own strength and character and definitely it's the best top 12 they've had! But having said that, I felt that a few did not shine as they should have and basically it's due to the wrong song choice. They should also improve on their stage performance ...

My favourite at this stage would be Esther ... I loved her rendition of "Better In Time" ... waiting to hear it again!

Happy Chap Goh Mei

2009-02-09T17:44:00.009+08:00

" Loe Sang"

"Loe Sang 2"

mum's new "cucu" ... hehe

This was taken at dad's hse, with Jenny's mum & family

Wow the 14 days of CNY passed so very quickly and now it's the last day of CNY ... Happy Chap Goh Mei to all. I wonder if people still go and through oranges in the sea ....

Well CNY has been the same for us and this time we had our gathering at 3rd uncle's house in Taman Midah. This year we made a change. After going to visit MIL, we went to my dad's house and then straight to 3rd uncle's house. Means this year we missed Frank's eldest aunty's place. If we would have gone to his aunty's place, we will be very late so this year we were the second earliest to the gathering and many were quite surprised to us there so early :) ... anyway ... it was good to gather once a year and this time we took a family picture of the whole gang except for Philip who had to leave to go to Sitiawan. Still waiting for Alvin to send us the photos.

We had a small open house on Saturday night and we could not invite some due to the food matter. But all in all it was fun and we had 2 big plates of yee sang and everyone including the kids were also tossing them up high .... the higher the better ... for a better and good year ahead !

Special Edition Pics ...

Found this website which I can do these great pics ... :)

Whoottt ... CNY is just around the corner ...

HAPPY "NIU" YEAR ... new year ... new hopes ... new dreams ... I hope this year will be a good year despite the financial crisis etc ...

I am thankful to God for everything and especially for getting a good bonus. I hope that a few tenders that we are working on will materialize and things will be better for all (better bonus for next year !!)

Thriving in challenging times

2009-01-17T22:46:00.005+08:00

We attended a Feng Shui talk by Joey Yap at the Plenary Hall, KL Convention Centre, today, courtesy of my dear friend Jessie. Well being a christian, I think we are not supposed to believe in all these stuff but I'm not one that is overly into this but just that we got free tickets so just go and listen. Joey Yap was saying that Feng Shui has nothing to do with religion ....hmmmm

Anyway ... it was quite enlightening but in a way also a bit confusing but like I said, I'm not so into this stuff so I just hear and get the basic points lah.

Industries that will do well in 2009 - Wood Industry :
~ Academic
~ Education
~ Agriculture
~ Farming
~ Health

Weakest industry - Metal:
~ Financial industry
~ Automotive
~ Plant & Machinery
~ Legal Professiong

Where propery is concerned, buying and selling is on a decrease and there will be a surge in property rental.

General increase in health problems, especially health problems related to food poisioning.

Consider investing more in education as it will bear fruit later on.

There will be lots of internal disputes in companies and organisations.

Government may face defiance from their citizens, or outright rebelliousness.

Focus on activating the Southeast sector of your home or office and if you want getting more support from Nobleman or helpful people (Kwai Yan) , focus on the Northwest sector as well.

General guid for Feng Shui of 2009:

Southeast - Good finances returns and the possibility of career advancement. The primary wealth sector for the year.

Southwest - Good for career progress. Changes in work environment. Possible medial complications.

Wets - Potential for real estate and property gains. Nagging health complications.

Northeast - Constant arguments and heated disagreements. Legal complications and lawsuits.

East - Turbulent emotions. Medical complications. Competitive work environment.

Northwest - New ventures and new beginnings. Couples can tie the knot or start a family. Seconday wealth sector for the year.

North - The most negative sector of the year. Avoid important activities. Beware of accidents and mishaps.

South - Good for studies and scholarly pursuits. Travel. Romance.

He touched on some face reading as well and he was saying that those with double, rounded, slightly protuding and broad chins will do well. Must have thick eyebrows and it must not be sparse at the end.

Pesta Ang Pow 2009 @ RTM

2009-01-12T23:02:00.009+08:00

On Sunday we attended the recording for Pesta Ang Pow 2009 at Angkasapuri. Danell, Suki, Vick, Karen Kong and a few others were performing together with the Aifm DJs. Personally I thought it was a very good show and this time the dancers are way more professional than last year's and it really looks like it CNY :)

Everyone looked great especially Suki ... she looked very pretty and photogenic is all the pics.

Do watch out for this show. I heard that it will be shown on the 1st day of CNY and see if you can spot me in the audience ....

Back To School 05.01.2009

2009-01-05T14:30:00.005+08:00

Kristin sitting at the school hall

with some of her friends

in the classroom ... same class teacher as last year

Today it's the first day of school for all 3 of them. Kimmy was worried that she could not wake up at 6am ... as we all know that she's sleeps like a pig!

After breakfast, I went to enquire about the new tuition place. For primary school they have tuition 5 days a week 1 1/2 hours each time. And they also throw in 3 hours of BM Karangan on Saturdays and all this for RM 130.00. On top of this, if you have homework, you can come earlier or later by 1 1/2 hours and they will have someone to guide you. I think this is good value ... They will start the chinese subject in Feb and it's just an additional RM 30.00 per month.

Jennifer also went there to enquire today for Zen Mun ... same place so coincidently and so we agreed to let the girls start tonight. They have 2 sessions for PMR, 2.30 - 4.00pm or 8.30-10.00pm.

I think I want to let Kevin try for this tuition as well ... cuz I dont see much improvement at Emily's place for them ... hmmm but quite difficult to tell this to her though ... she's such a nice lady. But for Kristin .... I think I will maintain her at Emily's place until next year ... see how lah.

New Year Wishes ...

2009-01-02T10:04:00.007+08:00

I wish you Health...

So you may enjoy each day in comfort.

I wish you the Love of friends and family...

All good things that come to you.

I wish you Happiness and Joy...

And Blessings for the New Year

I wish you the best of everything...

That you so well deserve

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

2009-01-01T18:03:00.004+08:00

Wow it's 01.01.2009 ... the first day of the new year.

We spent the night at KL Plaza Suites with a bunch of our dear friends. We had potluck and after dinner we went down to the streets. It was full of people especially along BB area. At the strike of midnight the fireworks shot into the sky ... it was a beautiful sight indeed. We stood at the corner of HSBC opposite Lot 10 away from the concert area. I managed to get the VIP standing area tickets but the guys didnt want to go so I gave the tics to Kimmy to go with her frens. She said it was very crowded and stuffy in there and they did not stay through the whole concert. Of course they got sprayed with all the foams stuff ... We were lucky as we stood clear from all those who were spraying and did not get wet!

I went for the yearly ex-Ho Hup staff luncheon affair at the East of Highway Restaurant. This time I think more people came including Dato' HHL. The first thing he said to me was, how is your father .... and telling the others .... I know her father for many years already. Dato is such a sweet and caring person. The food was good and they even had "yee sang" ... actually CNY is just around the corner.

So what will 2009 have for us .... a lot of financial woes .... I'm really scared of reading about the credit crunch all over the news and that it's going to be bad this year. I prayed during the fireworks and really prayed that 2009 will not be as bad as everyone says that it would be. Many said that we would be feeling the effect around March/April but for now I still see many people in the expensive restaurants / hotels, having dinner and dance to celebrate around BB area.

As for me, I really hope to be a better person, save money, guide my kids in the best way possible and grow in my faith. I really hope and pray that everything will be better for us.

Merry Christmas 2008

The kids with Zhen Jie Van Pol

Ai Ling Van Pol

Isn't she adorable

Sally & Frank

My first year as a Christian ... celebrating Christmas. It feels different cuz this year, I eagerly awaited for Dec 25 to come so that I can go to church for Christmas Worship. We started at 10.30 am, attended worship at church then had a wonderful lunch, thank you Lord! Thanks Kenny, Leon and Joy for joining us on this special day. I hope they will come back again soon.

Then after church we went to do some shopping for Sally's kids. Came back home at 4.30pm to shower and freshen up before going to Pastor's house for dinner. I felt that his house is really very warm and cosy but I never felt that when I was there at other times before. Food was GREAT ! .... we had asam laksa, roast turkey, chicken pie, mash potato (very the creamy n yummy), roast lamb, quiche, pengat ... yummylicious ....

At about 9pm we left for Sally's place ... Great food again, all cooked by her kwai loe hubby. We didnt know that he could cook so well. Her 2 kids were such darlings especially Ai Ling ... she's so adorable like a barbie doll but she wont let you take photos with her or of her but we tried and hope it came out well.

So this whole day has been eating and eating and meeting friends.

Thank you Lord for everything .... we are very fortunate to be in the midst of great friends and good food.

GOL - Gracehill Orchard Lodge 5-6 Dec 2008

2008-12-21T22:16:00.009+08:00

This has been a very eventful and meaningful trip for me and my dad. We both got baptized in the waterfalls in the hills of Pahang ...

It was really a surprise to see my dad accepting Christianity and agreeing to getting baptized. II guess God works in his own ways. I actually accepted Christ when I was in Form 4 at school. Then I attended the Wesley Methodist Church every Sunday and I still remember when we were courting, Frank used to attend Sunday services with me. But after I got married I guess I backslided but I'm very happy and thankful to be back again! I think that my dad has changed a little eversince that eventful trip, he does not seem to be so bad tempered as he usually is. That is a good sign and I think we should see more changes as Pastor Mark (my cousin) has mentioned about. More changes in him and also myself. I really hope that I can change for the better, be a better wife, mother and daughter. Actually I felt that I have learned a little more to control my temper and I hope to learn more and grow each day ...

Pastor Mark said that sometime in Feb this year, he asked my dad if it was ok if he prayed for him and my dad said ok and they prayed together. I did not know about this until recently. At that time, he was still having his skin problems etc.

The first time we went to Livingwaters Mission Baptish Church was just for a visit during a CNY gathering for the Wong family early this year. Then it was for Kel Vin's baptism, Bernard's baptism, Bernard & Santhi's wedding and their farewell. My cousins was telling me that my dad would like to go to church every sunday if I would bring him. I was quite surprised but nevertheless we still go whenever there was some family event. We feel very comfortable and at home in this church as everyone is very friendly and warm here.

Then when I found out about this trip, I told Frank about it and he was also quite interested and so we booked Meranti Apartments and was lucky that it was available. Then I gave a call to Kathy and everything was arranged and off we went. The rest was history.

I think God has planned this event in his diary. I did not know what motivated or made us so interested to attend this trip furthermore this was some kind of a church retreat. (should be quite boring etc) Even Pastor said that all this was God's work and his plans for us.

How to really really start an internet business without any fuss or learning tedious computer and program setups and reading tones of information and training tools before you actually see a dime in your bank account.

It’s nothing new, it’s not a new concept, it’s not a trick it’s no scam

Its real hard work and persistence. I am going to be frank with you, it’s not a joy ride and earn with leisure where most of the internet businesses always stress on. Yes, it may be true, but it’s when you made it thru’ after spending lots of time and money learning their secrets.

Let's talk about secrets for awhile... I love internet businesses but I have failed in many of those ventures. Probably there is one set back in my character, I cannot make a killing when I had the opportunity. If you have joined in most of the internet businesses where you don't know anything about it other then those pretty and inspiring write-ups. The chances are you will be annoyed when you know what the secret is all about. Most are nothing more then a key to a empty locker with a piece of note.."Why and how you came in is the secret !" Now its your turn to do it others..!!! NO.. I just can't do it, it doesn't seem right, the last person you want to do it would be your friends. So we are stuck here with no one to turn to but learn how to trick those strangers who happen to pass your website and click it. That is if you have mastered on how to do it and how to promote it and how to set-up the whole trap up. NO.. I just can't do it. But it works all the time, the world is full of strangers and green horns who will fall into this traps. That's how some who have mastered this trick could make hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars.

Let's come to humankind, needless to say, every year millions will be out from schools, colleges and unversities in search for jobs, yes the green horns. So is the same with internet business, everyday there are hundreds of thousands who will be for the first time browsing thru' the internet, there will always be some who will be for the first time, reading such beautiful and inspiring write-ups. So you see, this traps are so effective because, green horns need to learn a lesson to survive in the new world. They are the lunch and dinner of the predators. And that is not my way of how I want to do the internet business so I created my own - open and without secrets. But you won't be a millionaire overnight for sure. You will learn the basics of the internet business of advertising.

Kristin took part in her Yamaha music school concert on 7 December 2008 @ Flamingo Hotel. She played the Jay Chou cowboy song together with the classmates. They had to wear like cowboys, checked shirts and jeans skirts. I think they played quite well ... no big mistakes ... hehe.

This month looks like the birthday month ... so many birthday events. There would be one more coming up end of the month!

Well ... this time, it's the 3rd anniversary of DFC - Danell Fan Club. Wowww .... we have been together for 3 years already, how time flies .... and I can very well say that this is the best fan club ever! We have a well mixed of members here and everything is very well organised. Pinkies are well known for their love and support for their idol ... as the song goes "I will follow him" .... hehe:)

But I did noticed that this time, Danell is much more open, more warm and more approachable with everyone ... gives you a very personalised time with him. When he sang, he invited pinkies to go up and sing together with him ... and everyone had a great time! He interacted very well with everyone and obliged to taking personal pictures. Way to go Danell .... and he is still looking good and young! like he never aged! But I think he still needs to put on some more weight ... wish I could give him some of mine ;D

MERRY CHRISTMAS

1 Dec 2008 was Frank's birthday and we celebrated it at Red Box Plus @ Pavillion on 30 Nov 2008 with our dear friends. It was meant to be a surprise party but he found out last minute....

He came back from Phnom Penh on Sat night and wanted to use the pc. I had my FB opened right at the birthday thread and forgot about it. Then he was asking what is this .... then he started laughing and I started to push him away from the pc "dont see dont see!!!"... wakakaka.

But anyway it was a small gathering because many could not make it but still it was good and fun especially with MXV there ! He was the live wire ... and always will be .... Frank got some very nice presents too ...

Thank you so much to each and everyone ..... muacksssss

Villa Lawana - The 5 star experience and more ...

2008-11-23T21:16:00.006+08:00

What can I say ....it's an absolutely beauuutiful resort. The room is very cosy and romantic ... the swimming pool is fantastic .... a horizon pool overlooking the sea. They really take care of every little details. Even the pillows can be customised. They give you 4 types of pillow and you can request which type you require! They give you aromatheraphy body shampoos, shampoos, lotions and soaps. They give you different types of tea like earl grey or darjeeling etc ... all complimentary. They have LCD tv and dvd players in the room. You can borrow the dvds to watch from the library and they have free internet service in the library as well as in the room.

What more can I say ... it was a great experience for us to stay in such a classy resort.

We will let the pics do the talking .....

Koh Samui International Airport

2008-11-23T20:07:00.007+08:00

This airport does not look like an airport at all ... more like a baliness resort ! It's so cosy and warm not like those big concrete buildings that we have but more like huts and challet type ... but the toilet is very classy ... with sliding glass doors and aircon. Yes ! the toilet is the only area that has aircon ... the other areas are all open concept.

Koh Samui - Arerial pics - 14.11.08

2008-11-23T19:44:00.009+08:00

Here are some aerial pics taken from the plane. The whole stretch of beach is known as Chaweng Beach, the most popular beach in Koh Samui. The resorts and hotels are located all along the beach which is about 7km but the actual Chaweng Beach Road is much longer ... There are a few new resorts coming up ... some parts are quite messy with renovations.

Ta da ..... Makcik Cafe

Finally ... the day came and off we went to Subang Aiport to catch our flight to KS.

We reached Subang early. The airport was under renovation and quite messy. The only place for breakfast was "Makcik Cafe" .... have a look at the pics. But the nasi lemak actually tasted quite good :-)

But I felt that the plane was not as smooth as I expected especially during landing maybe because it's s smaller plane.

Latest Christmas Carol - 2008

2008-11-18T22:43:00.002+08:00

Latest Christmas carol for 2008,
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash

I'm telling you why:

Recession is coming to town.

Koh Samui - Villa Lawana

2008-11-12T12:36:00.005+08:00

We will be taking a short break from 14- 17 Nov 2008 ... going to Koh Samui. Frank won a 2 nights stay in Villa Lawana ... supposedly to be like a 6 star hotel over there. We shall see .....

We will be taking Firefly direct flight from Subang airport to Koh Samui. I heard it's one of those small planes with propellers ... which is quite bumpy and a bit scary ( I was told by my colleague) .... we shall see ...

We also booked a full day safari tour on the second day that comes with elephant rides and waterfall etc ... sounds lots of fun :)

Fun in the city .... KL Plaza Suites 01.11.08

2008-11-07T19:43:00.007+08:00

We managed to book another weekend at KL Plaza suites (still making use of our 2006 entitlements). This time is just a shopping weekend. Took Run to do some shopping before she goes back on 21 Nov 2008. That's where we saw those gothic dressed ppl at BTS ! And there hundreds of ppl dressed in red t-shirts and caps running around KL for the Canon Photo Contest. Dragon also took part and we met him with Anas in BTS. This time Jason and Els stayed the nite with us and we all went to Pavilion food court for dinner. It was a nice quiet weekend ...

Run still needs to buy her luggage bag ... maybe taking her to Jusco this weekend to look for it.

In the meantime Kevin and Kristin had much fun in the pool with their "breakdance performances".

Raja Petra is free !!!

2008-11-07T19:39:00.002+08:00

SHAH ALAM: Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin was released from his two-year detention under the Internal Security Act (ISA) at 3.20pm Friday.

He arrived at court here at 3.05pm from Kamunting.

He succeeded Friday in his bid to obtain a release order from detention under the ISA.

High Court judge Justice Syed Ahmad Helmy Syed Ahmad on Friday morning allowed the blogger’s habeas corpus application.

Justice Syed Ahmad also ordered for Raja Petra to be brought to the Shah Alam High Court before 4pm for his immediate release.

Upon hearing the court decision, the crowd seated at the packed public gallery clapped and cheered.

This prompted the judge to tell the crowd that “this is a court of law”, which caused the court to be silent, albeit briefly.

The court erupted again with claps and shouts from the public gallery when the judge said that Raja Petra had to be brought to the court for his release on the same day.

At the outset of court proceedings, Justice Syed Ahmad ruled that the grounds for the detention order by Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar for the blogger did not fall under the scope of Section 8(1) of the ISA.

Therefore, the judge said the Sept 22 detention order was unlawful.

Raja Petra was detained on Sept 12 on the grounds that he had intentionally and recklessly published articles which were critical and insulted Muslims, the purity of Islam and the personality of Prophet Muhammad.

It was said to have caused anxiety and anger among Muslims in the country.

He had also allegedly published defamatory articles concerning national leaders which could affect public order and prejudice national security.

He was said to have published the said articles in the Malaysia Today news portal between Jan 16 and Sept 12 this year.

The Home Minister was named as the sole respondent in the application.

Raja Petra was taken to the Kamunting detention camp on Sept 23.

The minister had issued the order against the blogger under Section 8 of the same Act.

However, the judge said Section 8 of the same Act is constitutional as it falls within the ambit of the Article 149 of the Federal Constitution.

(Article 149 is regarding actions to be taken against anyone who participates in any activities which could pose a threat to national security even if it violates their fundamental liberties).

“I find that there is no merit by the counsel’s argument that Section 8 is unconstitutional as it does not fall under Article 149,” he said.

“Section 8 can only be reviewed under procedural non-compliance as provided under Section 8B(1) of the same Act,” he added.

On lead counsel Malik Imtiaz Sarwar’s argument that the order was mala fide (in bad faith), Justice Syed Ahmad said:

“Mala fide is not procedural non-compliance under the ISA,” he said.

The judge said the court only has the power for judicial review for matters which violated the procedures under the ISA.

The judge also commented that the ISA was promulgated not only to counter communism or subversive activities but also to halt any activities which caused a threat to national security.

Outside the court later, Raja Petra’s wife Marina Lee Abdullah said she was very happy with his impending release.

“I am glad that everything turned out well as I had hoped. It is a fantastic breakthrough. “I hope there will be a change in the country,” said Marina, who was accompanied by daughters Sarah, 19, and Suraya, 34.

Gothic Punk

2008-11-02T23:03:00.006+08:00

This guy in the red/white tee and long hair looks like the boss

Well this is a new word for me ...

Came across these people dressed up in gothic punk clothing while shopping in Time Square. They are all members of this twin shop called SOCKS on the 4th floor. This shop is only for members ...so means that you must be a member to enter. I saw one tall guy who looks like the boss ... well ... I think this is quite new in Malaysia or rather new for me ... ;-D. Kimmy was telling me that they have it in Sg Want too and they will just walk around and do their shopping like normal, just that they will get all the stares .... sorry for the poor pic cuz of my low yar handphone ....

iii.my

2008-11-02T19:00:00.006+08:00

On 1 November 2008, iii.my was launched. We saw the outlet at Steven's Corner at Pandan Indah on 31 October 2008 and also the outlet on the connecting bridge between Time Square and Sg Wang on 1 November 2008.

I just love the T-Shirt. It has 3 big iii on the front and 3 big upside down iii at the back :)

The Founder said the software is not fully complete yet and we should test out the system and get familiar with it.

Keeping my fingers crossed XXX. Let's hope everything runs as planned and all of us work hand in hand and make this a reality!

Age is just a number ....

2008-10-28T22:37:00.005+08:00

That is what everyone says. So is age very important to a woman ....

Each and everyone of us has to go through each number as it comes and it is up to you how you want to accept those numbers and make the most out of it.

28 October ... the day that I was brought into this world :)

I would like to thank god for everything that has happened in my life.

I am very happy and honored to have a bunch of very good frens whom I met through my few years of chasing after reality shows and stars ;D. These frens have become a like an extended family and we have celebrated many events together and had lots of fun and laughter along the way :)

I am very happy and honored to have also known several artistes and became friends (from fans).

Indeed, I do feel very young at heart when I am with all these people .... they have really made a mark in my life.

Lam Fong @ Pavilion -24.10.08 Album Promo

2008-10-25T17:52:00.009+08:00

Went to see Lam Fong at Pavilion on a Friday nite and as usual the traffic was heavy. Braved the traffic and went to fetch Kimmy and fren from school and rushed to Pavilion. I wonder if other mothers do such stuff for their kids ... on a Friday nite after work! Kimmy wanted to go badly and I thought oklah since her birthday this year, we did not do anything for her.

As usual, he was late. Suppose to start at 8pm but it only started I think about 8.45 pm or so. Met up with Mei Ling there. The crowd was huge and I noticed that many who bought his cd. I wonder if he finished signing all or not cuz the MC said that he was not feeling well and that he had to go for another appointment. Luckily Kimmy and ML were in the last 10 minutes signing queue. But I think he should finished signing all because it was very packed and stuffy waiting in the queue for him. He did not even shake hands like FRH did.

The sound system was bad and the queuing system was bad too! The stage was outside at the Bukit Bintang entrance and luckily the rain stopped if not .... cant imagine ...

ML went to buy his cd, two for RM 60.00. If you buy one it will cost RM 40.00.

Both ML & Kimmy said that he was more handsome in person :-)

Fahrenheit @ Sg. Wang 17.10.08 - Meet The Fans

2008-10-18T23:11:00.004+08:00

I met them again :) ...... Thanks so much to SA for getting me into the VIP section, right in front of the stage .... it was a total blast. Can see all 4 of them so clearly and so close. I even had the chance to go up and get their autograph on the poster! Actually only those who have bought their concert tickets were allowed to go up for autograph but through SA everything also "kau tim" liao !!! A million thanks for everything .... even fetching me to Titiwangsa where I parked my car to take the monorail down to Sg Wang if not I dont know what time I will reached there ...it was raining heavily and the jam was bad BUT IT WAS WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE :) :) :)

10 fans were called up stage to do catwalk and the best 4 will get to play games with the 4 of them. I'm very jealous lah ... these 4 gals had the times of their life lah ... can get so close to them even hugging and one even got carried ..............

They played the newspaper game where they had to fold and fold the newspaper and both of them had to stand on the newspaper. It was fun to watch and both Jiro and Calvin were the joker of the group whereas Aaron & Chun were the shy and quiet type.

When they sign the posters, they use one hand to sign and the other hand to shake your hands. And they really gazed into your eyes ... I am not joking, all 4 of them really give you a very personal and warm gaze when they look at you. I wonder if they were taught to do that.

To me all 4 of them are 'shuai' but of course the best would be Chun .... :)

Let's see, all in all I have seen Chun 3 times this year and the other 3, 2 times .... not bad hor considering they are such superstars. But I am very sad that I will not be able to attend their concert! Waited so long and now cannot go ..... haizzz ...

Hennessy Artistry @ Orange Club 27.09.08

2008-10-04T12:54:00.005+08:00

We registered online at Hennessy Artistry to get admittance for this event. Thanks to Dragon for the notification. Shayne Ward, Until June and The Dey were the performers for the night. Well .... what can I say .... it was a total blast. Free booze the whole nite !!! Free Hennessy brandy mix ... they have 2 type of drinks, Shanghai and Miami ...both also very nice.

Shayne Ward looks different in real person and I think he put on some weight :) But all in all we had a blast and was a bit tipsy after few rounds. This was their last event for the year and now looking forward to their 2009 events. I hope they will bring in Leona Lewis ....

The free 2009 calendar

We appeared in Sin Chew - 27.09.08

We appeared in Guang Ming - 27.09.08

It's been 3 years since I knew this charming young man. I still remember waiting for him after the live shows at Sri Pentas 2 during the Malaysian Idol season 2 days, without fail, every week. Hoping and praying that he will still be in. He never left and went on to win the title!

Now we have come to a new chapter in his life. He has changed his name to Danell Lee Jie Hun. The english pronunciation is still same and and the chinese one is just the middle name which is slightly different but I guess more meaningful. A change for the better in his new endeavours (Taiwan), better fortune and a smoother ride to the top. I sincerely wish him all the success in whatever he will undertake in life and give my utmost support.

And because of him, we have met so many wonderful people along the way and eventually became good friends. His parents, his brother and sisters, his aunt, uncle and cousins and so many more. It's like one big happy family .......

We also came to know many artistes, local and international because of Danell as we go see him perform in all sorts of events. I can also say that because of Danell, we got to learn more mandarin words (we are bananas!) and can sing mandarin songs :). We also learn how to chase STARSSSSS .......

Tiara Beach Resort 13-14.09.08

2008-09-16T23:38:00.004+08:00

Well finally went to this resort after getting the voucher at MATTA Fair in March !!! But it was really a good good deal, a two room apartment for RM 150.00 compared to the normal price of RM 460.00. The voucher was to be used during Ramadhan only ... well no sweat ... in fact better because it wont be too pack.

Kristin and Kevin had a blast. Kristin said how nice if we can stay here forever :P ! On the way home, she even thought of how to construct our condo. She said how nice if Block C area is used to make those slides and stuff and bigger pool. So we will just have 2 Blocks A & B !!!

Frank's sis could not make it so we invited Kenny, Leon, Dragon & Anas to join. The other could not make it. We have a blast too ... thanks to all for the lovely company :) We had great food and great fun especially the go cart ride. The kids enjoyed it too. Kevin wanted to ride another round but we said no lah. Save it for the next visit.

Winds of change

2008-09-16T23:29:00.003+08:00

Is it already here ??? Anuar said that he has got more than 31 names crossing over to his side and he wrote a letter to Badawi for a peaceful transition. Is Badawi going to let go so easily? The latest I read is that he wants Anuar to list the names out before he agrees to meet him but Anuar said he cannot because their lives may be at stake .... so how lah ???

But whatever it is, we the normal and innocent citizens would like see a peaceful and calm scenario whatever it may be. I am very worried to proceed with or to confirm anything at the moment because of all these uncertainties. I think the best thing is to stay put and save all your money in hand.

I think I should go and buy some food stuff ... but really I need to ... my rice is running low.

HK Disneyland ...

2008-09-01T15:12:00.007+08:00

Planning a trip there with the kids ... but dont know when yet ...

HK Disneyland has a competition for all their travel agents. They sent them a set of promos items like stickers, picture etc for them to put up in their offices and the best deco will win some prizes. They had the dinner at Mandarin Oriental last Friday and Frank brought home some door gift which included this box of yummy star shape milk chocolate which cost HK$50.00. There are lots of cute cute mickey and minnie stationeries too ...

Second Chance

2008-08-29T21:48:00.004+08:00

How many people will get a second chance in life ? Well I really put my hats off to DSAI for making it a second time, after all that he has gone through! I am not a supporter of any parties and neither do I like or dislike him. But I felt that he really showed us something that no matter what happens, we must work hard and continue to strive towards what we want in life.

Our country's 51st merdeka is just around the corner. I trully agree that in some ways, we have proceeded forward positively but there is still much work to be done. Hopefully with this change, something good which benefits the people from all walks of life will come into place soon.

At these times, I trully wish for PEACE, LOVE and HARMONY and may god's richest blessings be upon our leaders to lead us through to the correct path.

Time flies ... end of the Beijing Olmypics

2008-08-24T13:10:00.005+08:00

Well it's the end of Beijing Olympics today and the closing ceremony is live at 8.00pm tonite! Congrats to our only medalist, Lee Chong Wei for getting the silver in the men's single. He's mighty rich now and also given a pension of RM 3K per month for life. He will also be getting a "Datuk" title on of this month. Do you think he should be given the pension and datuk title ....

Anyway ... it's also coming to the last 4 months of the year. It's time for life reflections ...

Nothing extra ordinary happened but things arent looking the best for us but we will try to pull through it!

HK Stars @ Summit USJ 17 August 2008

2008-08-24T12:31:00.008+08:00

Took the whole family to watch Har Yue, Lee See Kei, Yeung Yee and Chan Ho, stars of Heart of Greed and Moonlight Resonance of Astro On Demand at Summit USJ. There was a quite a big crowd there and we were standing on the side. When they came, we managed to go into the vip section but the crowd was pushing here and there!

They played two games with fans whom they chosed. One game was with the ping pong ball and the other was guess the name of the show soundtrack.

Yeung Yee looks much prettier in person and Chan Ho looked great too!
