Having a Kid

There are so many examples showing that peoples who have got kids, they have forgone so many of their freedom, and their resources (in terms of monetary, time, spirit, effort, own image and etc.).

I really salute that, at this point of time, I am not able to sacrify so much. haha...Especially like Alice, she gave up a lot for little Adam.

I love kids, but I have energy to play with the kids for a few hours, say maximum 2 hours?!? And after that, I usually need a lot of sleep to recharge energy.

Ken's wife, Nicole just delivered a baby girl last Saturday. She told me how much pain she went through, and how much effort she grows the first boy, and how much she gave up for her fashion, and hair style. And now, second baby came.

Anyway, I think I might change my mind one day, when I found someone I love, and worth while to have kids with. However, this has to be real soon, or else..haha...I will be at the dangerous side, as my age is.....going....going...going...and keep going to grow older!....sigh...

Thinking of Him

It happened for more than a month. I only told this to a few closed friends. I dare not tell this on blog that time because it made me have nightmare. But lucky, I started to travel 3 days after the nightmare.

It's been more than a month that I always dream of him. The dreams are scary. They always show me that he is bad in his health. Sometimes I saw him sick, and sometimes I saw "his soul" in the dream, and even worst is he died.

The worst that I have, happened in beginning of May, it was so real! I came back from KK, Sabah that night. I was very tiring, and I slept right away I stepped into my room. At first, I heard of stepping sound, I was wondering, hah....it's from my neighbour. Then I heard someone opened my door. Again, I think it's impossible, as I have double locked. So, I continue to sleep. However, the next second, I felt someone sat at my bed side, and suddenly sleep beside me and hug me. GOSH.....I told myself to wake up, although my eyes couldn't open. I was then forced myself to open my eyes, but I couldn't see anything. I guess I was too tired. I am depressed.

I was then I started to worry about him. I felt like that's him. I really worry that is he still alive, and is he healthy, and is he happy now.

I never angry at him for more than a week, no matter what he did to me, so as this case. I know I should move on, and stop thinking of him. But it's very normal that a person that I have been together for 7 years, my memory still capture his shadow.

No matter what, I promised myself to live happily without him. In fact, I feel release after breaking up with him. I put him at my centre too much, but now I found myself back. I know my own direction very clear, and I know what to do next without worrying whether my decision affect his feeling. I have my plan in longer period of time.

Again, I do not angry at him at all and I do not hope to get back together anymore. We shall move on, and I think he is getting very well with his current girlfriend. A couple break up reason is not only because of one sided. I know that I did something wrong too, I neglect his feeling, I thought he can understand his position.

Anyway, new life, new mind, new person, and new me.

I hope that I can stop those nightmare, and get better sleep for my everyday life.

After All Nice Food

hah...After all nice food, time to get back to the diet plan, the slimming course....

What a suffering process by wrapping myself into a hot blanket for 30 mins, rest in the hot blanket for additional 10 mins, and again doing nothing cool down for 5 mins...

The most killing thing is the time, with sweat, can't move, being wrapped.

Anyway....I am trying to persuade myself to look into more macro view, don't look at the short term physically and financially burden... LOOK FAR....FURTHER....FURTHER MORE>>>>......

Skin Allergy

Last week has been busy for back-log works, and as well as a supplier visit.
Last Saturday was my company annual dinner, and we have had it in Ipoh, Excelsio Hotel. What an old hotel. The room was dirty and there are insects that I couldn't see, but it caused me allergy. I have went for injection to stop the itchiness of my skin. It seems help for few hours, but this morning found the red patches are growing again, then I caught in fever.

Sigh.....

I will update my company annual dinner pictures later. It was fun that because we have a creative fashion show.

Match Making Part 2

Vun who talked to me on phone asked me about my match making after he read my blog. This made me have a dream last night.

My parents introduced me a guy, and my parents set up a date for us that to meet tomorrow night. Then after he left, about 30 mins later, he sms me that, "I'll bring my mum along tomorrow together for dinner". I just woke up directly from the dream that...lucky that's just a dream.

like shrimp

We always hear Penang peoples say,
"yoo...like shrimp".

1. when do you use it?
when you do not satisfy with the result. It's not up to your expectation.

2. How do you use it?
You use it in front of the sentence. Say, " hey it's like shrimp. I thought it suppose to be better."
Next example is, when you order fish fillet at restaurant, but when the waitress serve you, she brought you a plate of Chicken. So, you may say, "hey it's like shrimp. I ordered fish fillet, not chicken. " or you may say " it's like shrimp. I want to eat fish fillet, not chicken".

3. Ways to use it...
if the waitress is a Malay, then you might want to say "yoo, macam udang. Wa mau ikan bukan ayam" or "macam udang, wa nak makan ikan bukan ayam".
if the waitress is Cantonese, then you may translate into Cantonese .....

4. Do not use, when...
If you need to present in more professional way, you are not encouraged to use this.

Another picture

Here is another picture with Lee Pin that we have taken it in Seattle. It is just sent by Jamie.

Back in Malaysia

Finally I am back in Malaysia. This is a very rush and tiring trip. Also, I am financially broke after the trip. The time differences made me jet lag and I still feel like I am in the sea, swimming now. Just the last two days before I came back, I have been able to make some shopping and sight seeing in San Francisco.

I missed the chance to see performing art. I think, I will go back to San Francisco, if there is chance. The place we visited the most is the China Town, San Francisco, because those old peoples in the group like it so much. They just want Chinese food. I didn't have chance to take cable car at the Nob Hill. I should have take it, but no time. It's like roller coaster. I didn't even have chance to take photo of it.

Oh yeah...and I saw many volcano when the flight landing...

** Picture from Wikitravel.org

The pictures I show will be from the nearer 13th May back to 10th May...

On the very last day 13th May in San Francisco, I went to Fisherman Wharf. This is a place for seafood, and for sight seeing. See? Those seals lying on the floating wood to rest. They are so lazy, or may be it's time for them to sleep. They also make noise. Opposite of Fisherman Wharf, we can see Alcatraz Island, where the old time prison. Due to short of time, we just see it from far.

Hard Rock at Fisherman Wharf, San Francisco.

This is our shopping group. From right to left, Carene, Karris, Chellind, and myself. Thank you Chellind that she brought us twice to these factory outlets, at Napa which took us 3 hours (one way) to find the place on the first day, and 1 1/2 hours second day. That's the car that drove us to the destination for shopping, and sight seeing!!! Along the way, we passed through Muir Woods, a park at north Golden Bridge that many peoples picnic and cycling there, we also passed through many winery farms.

My tiring look after shopping at the factory outlets...

This is how some of the factory outlets look like...

This is on the top of hill, where we can see San Francisco whole view, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Still at the hill top, very windy.....

Yeah! This is the Golden Gate Bridge...

The other view of San Francisco...

Another view....San Francisco bridges, and freeway

View of Golden Gate Bridge

This is the morning market in Seattle. Look! the mouth of fish is so big!

Nice flower ehh

Somewhere near to the Seattle morning market, that just opposite of the world first Starbucks

Neh....this is the world first Starbucks. I didn't buy a cup of coffee there, but a souvenir for myself. As usual, I don't drink coffee, I can't give an exceptional for my health reason

The 1912 Starbucks.....

Min-Hui's birthday at Seattle (Revised, after woke up)

Hi dear, I am pretty drunk again!... It's my birthday here, and my group of peoples are celebrating my birthday with me...thank them for doing that for me.
We went for a very good restaurant, and pardon me, i forgot the name immediately after saw it. The food is very good, we were working hard not only on the food, but "drinks".

The restaurant is just right beside the sea side.

Pun, From Sangle food, he worked in my company before. He is the only one who I knew before this trip.

From left, Jimmy, Pun, Mr. Wong, Rebecca, Eric, Karis, myself, Karene, Foo, Lee Pin (the girl from US Embassy, who organizes this trip), Ms. See, and Jamie.

Pun was standing beside me and sing birthday song in laud.

Making wish....

My speed boat eh...

Great!

It's something outside of the Whole Food Supermarket, which is specialized in organic food. Again, take this picture with Pun, because he loves to take picture all time.

See? They are all my competitors in real! We are coming from different companies, but similar business model.

He's my competitor.

Chicago

It's been long time i never update my blog. Just a quick update. I am in Chicago, for FMI Show, Fancy Show, and Organic Show. It's been 3 days I am here. It's extreamly tiring.
We are leaving to Seattle this afternoon. I will update more about life in Chicago later. By the way, it's my birthday in Malaysia time now! Just one of my colleague automatically wish me happy birthday, what about others? sad:"(

Back!

I am back from KK, Sabah. Nothing much there, except meeting old friends, some chat, some food, and some memories.

I stayed at Celester new house. It's a warm and cozy. Especially with the hospitality of her family, I felt like I was home. She even accidentally said that, "our room", she accepted me as her room mate. hahahahah I deeply thank her for her sacrificed time with me.

Another person I met the most during the trip is Judy. I stole her time from her Charles. And sorry to Charles that he has no Fiance to spend time with, and no car to use on Monday. Judy is a very nice person, who has very "fast temper", she can be real nice! but make sure you do not step on "her tail".

Besides meeting these two good friends, I was in Queen Elizabeth Hospital with Richard most of the time. He is very confidence with his recovery chances, he looks healthier, and happier than ever. He is really strong enough to challenge his uncertain future, he is optimistic. He takes his time in hospital as the time for him to break from his previous busy work. He didn't request much from others, because he afraid he might trouble others. But now, he does request from few of good friends and family. He understand that, if he able to do so, he will not trouble others, but now he need others to support him. I think, his family and friends are ready to support too.

My thought is really influenced a lot by him. I have no excuse to live unhappy. I have family and friends supports, and I am good in physically, and mentally. No Excuse! Life must go on happily to achieve our life time targets. There is nothing to be afraid of, we have to go full force to challenge our given life. Forgiveness is part of the thing that lead us to the happier life.

Cheers!! Ganbate Kudasai yo!
