Ready to serve

this blog was left unattended for almost 5 months!

just want to make a quick come back.

some of the things that i have done or gone through during my absence from my blog:

in July and one of the most important thing that happend in my life, just 4 days before my birthday, i was proposed by my primary school mate who became my secondary school mate and who became by email pal and who became my snail mail pal…hold on….email then move to snail mail? isn’t that suppose to be the other way round? ah, nevermind…but that is how the relationship with my boyfriend evolved… that day was the most happiest day of my life and i melted like butter on hot toast..ehehhe

in august, well…cant recall any significant event…

and in september, i went to UK to visit my sister…13hrs flight in the middle seat in economy class is no joking matter..it’s tiring and made me feel unhealthy..imagine sitting, eating, sleeping and eating again for 13 hrs..

october has not yet ended, but i cant wait to plan for my future!! hehehe…

and i have to do this….to declare my love for my boyfriend…ehhehe….i love him so much because i know he loves me too..ehehhe

remember my exam like 3 weeks ago?

i was trying to do a sample test of 11 questions and out of that 11, i only managed to get less than half correct i was kinda in a lazy mode, plus uninterested in doing the questions. so, after going thru the wrong questions, i took a break by going to one of my favourite magazine website (goodhousekeeping, US version).

an interesting topic caught my attention. the myths and facts on house keeping quiz. i thought, why not just take it for fun?

there were 9 questions. i kept on getting the right answer from question 1 up to the last question. i was soooo amazed. it’s the kinda satisfaction that i need when i was doing my sample exam questions!!!

wow….didnt know i know so much abt housekeeping!! maybe i should be a housewife~~

something funny that lee kien told me.. the company i was working for had it’s health week. many sponsors were invited to exhibit their products in the main canteen so that staff can purchase them at special prices.

lee kien went to check his eyes (finally, after so long i asked him to!). the optician asked him to position his head to the eye check machine and then, lee kien asked the optician:

"do i look at the house or the gate?"

hahahaha….dont u find that funny and cute???

I like to blast this song in the car on my way home after work:

Song title: Anthem

Singer: Superchic[k]

Here’s to the ones who don’t give up
Here’s to the ones who don’t give up
Here’s to the ones who don’t give up
This is your Anthem
Get Your Hands Up

We are fire inside
We are lipstick and cleats
We are not going home and
We are playing for keeps

We are girls with skinned knees
We are concrete and grace
We are not what you think
Can’t keep us in our place

CHORUS
Here’s to the girls on their boards with bruises and scars
Here’s to the girls whose fingers bleed from playing guitar
Here’s to anyone who never quit when things got hard
You’ll never let them say you’ll never get that far
Never get that far
Never get that far

We are a fire inside
We are an army asleep
We are a people awaking to follow their dreams

We don’t have time for your games
We have our own GOALS to score
We have trophies to win
Instead of be one of yours

CHORUS

Here’s to the ones who don’t give up
Here’s to the ones who don’t give up
Here’s to the ones who don’t give up
This is your Anthem…

CHORUS

Yeah, you can say this is some sort of girl power kinda song! If you wanna listen to it, u can click on this link : http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/lyrics/new/track.asp?track_id=23

sigh..my exam is tomorrow….

i dont think i am ready yet, although it is an open book exam. this feels like a "committing suicide" scenario (no, i will never commit suicide)..not ready, but i am gonna face the exam not really prepared. i dont want to fail!!!!! i cannot afford to fail…

done express revision. my eyes saw every word in the study material, plus the extra readings, plus the accounting standards..dont know if my brain has been absorbing the info or not…

please help me, Lord Jesus…kinda desparate to pass…at least…

Finally, i was not required to go to work on public holiday! but actually, it’s not that i am not required to work..it’s as long as i can finish my work on time. so, i can either work at home, or i will need to speed up for the next 3 days. God help me!

yesterday lee kien organised a trip to bagan lalang. it’s a small fishing village which is situated 30 minutes from the Sepang F1 circuit. we wanted to "dine" in a floating restaurant and also catch the sunset at the same time.

oh, it was not just the two of us. we had another 3 friends who came along (Jason, Teong Ghee and Yin Yin). just nice to fit the 5 of us in the car.

lee kien found out abt the restaurant from one of the forums he frequently visit. forum contributors commented that the food is good and reasonably priced.

we started our journey at about 4.45pm after picking up the rest of them. there was not map to guide us to the place, but we will depend on the road signs along the high way to get to bagan lalang first.

you know, i’ve heard many people saying that the road signs in malaysia cannot be trusted as it will not lead you to the place that you want to go. but i would think otherwise as i’ve been driving around quite a lot when i was with the previous company i worked for. maybe it’s the driver…not the signboards!! (just joking).

when we were halfway there, lee kien asked me to make a reservation for 5 people, in case all tables were taken by the time we reached there. i told the restaurant staff that we will be arriving abt 6 to 6.30pm, as we will have to find the place by ourselves when we reach the bagan lalang town.

thank God that we have some good navigators in the car. at first we thought that we were lost as we were driving through some kampung roads and it felt like we are getting deeper and deeper into the village. we called the restaurant again to get direction. thank God again, we were going the right way and we reached the place at 6pm.

when we get down from the car, we thought 6pm is still early and the restaurant is still empty. we decided to walk around the beach first. jason took out his camera and started to get busy. while we were all enjoying nature, then the restaurant called lee kien. he asked if we have arrived. i thought how nice for them to call to ask to ensure that we were not lost. they even made sure that it was us by asking if we were those who came out from the black colour car.

that was kinda funny. we told him we will be there soon after walking around. after another 15 mins, they called again!! i dont know that they said to lee kien, but it seemed that they are very eager and very impatient to have us there already. i wonder if they were afraid that we have gone to the other seafood restaurant (rival :P).

what is "special" here is that, we get to choose the seafood that we want to eat. while we choosing, then we realised that the seafood is actually not that fresh. 4 of us were there as jason was still busy taking pics. i was given the privilege to choose as the rest of them dont really know how to choose. i must thank my mom for teaching me ;D

if u want to choose fish, take those without reddish eyes. another way is to see the guts (or gills? i cant remember what it is called, but in malay it is "insang") must not be pale but reddish also. for prawns, choose those with head still intact. if the head looks like it can drop off anytime, then it’s not fresh. the rest, i am not sure how

during sunset, the colour of the sky was nice. orangy, pinky, purply and bluishly. nice harmony of colour. God’s definately the greatest atrist! it’s very wonderful, although it just for a few minutes.

we continue eating. the food was actually not as nice as i expected. but it doenst really matter. but the bill…..well…kinda pricey if u take into account the quality and the quantity.

we drive along the beach after dinner. there were many people camping along the beach, we were surprised!! maybe we can do that some other time too.

for once in kl, i see clear sky with many stars!! seriously, it’s been a long time since i last saw many stars in the sky! could be the last redang trip. we took quite a lot of pictures there. we also saw a dead jellyfish on the shore. it looked like a packet of water! haha..it looked like a transparent plactic bag full of water!

after all that, we headed back to pj. it was tiring, but such an enjoyable evening. thanks to lee kien for organising this trip. maybe we can do this once again next time.

THERE’S   NO   ONE    LIKE   JESUS

In chemistry, He turned the water into wine.
In biology, He was born without the normal conception.
In physics, He disproved the law of gravity when He ascended into heaven.
In economics, He disproved the law of diminishing return

by feeding 5000 people with two fishes and five loaves of bread.
In medicine, He healed the sick and the blind without a single dose of drugs.
In history, He is the Beginning and the End.
In government, He said that he shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Prince of peace;
In religion, He said no one comes to the Father except through Him.

He is the greatest Man in history
He had no servants, yet they called him Master
He had no college degree, yet they called him Teacher
He used no medicine, yet they called him Healer
He had no army, yet kings feared Him
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today" – 

To the artist He is the One Altogether Lovely.
To the architect He is the Chief Cornerstone.
To the astronomer He is the Sun of Righteousness.
To the baker He is the Living Bread.
To the banker He is the Hidden Treasure.
To the biologist He is the source of all Life.
To the house builder He is the Sure Foundation.
To the doctor He is the Great Physician.
To the educator He is the Great Teacher.

To the farmer He is the Sower and Lord of the Harvest.
To the florist He is the Lily of the Valley.
To the geologist He is the Rock of Ages.
To the horticulturist He is the True Vine.
To the judge He is the Righteous One.
To the juror He is the True Witness.
To the jeweler He is the

Pearl of Great Price.

To the editor He is the Good Tidings of Great Joy.
To the oculist He is the Light of the Eyes.
To the philosopher He is Wisdom.
To the Printer He is the True Type.
To the servant He is the Good Master.
To the student He is the Incarnate Truth.
To the weary toiler He is the Giver of Rest.
To the Sinner He is the Lamb of God

who takes away the sin of the world.

To the Christian, He is the Son of the Living God,

the only Savior, the Redeemer and Lord,

and He is the Almighty God in human flesh!

Jesus  is  Everything  to  Me

when you drive on the road, do you:

a) give indication that you want to turn into a junction ot overtake the vehicle in front of you (in short, do you use the indicator at all?)?

b) pull over anywhere you want or do you pull over at the appropriate place that would not caused traffic to slow down?

c) give way when another driver indicated that he/she wants to cut into your lane?

d) use the emergency lane when the traffic is really slow moving?

e) cut queue?

the first thing that annoyed me in the morning when i go to work is those cars that stopped at the left side of the narrow 4 lanes ldp to drop their passengers at the lrt station overhead bridge. do you know that the place to drop your passengers are just 10 metres further down? when u stop by the road side, you are actually slowing down the traffic!! it is very inconsiderate to make other users suffer for your own benefit. the other lanes will also be affected, cuz the most left lane drivers will cut to the 2nd lane, slowing down that lane, and the 2nd lane drivers will want to move to the 3rd lane and there goes the domino-effect on the road.

and there was time, i gave indication that i want to cut into the right lane, i made sure that i have enough space (the car behind is about 3 cars away) and time to cut. half way cutting, the car just sped, not wanting me to cut in!! this is kiasu driving that i find very childish!!! hello~~ what’s the point of doing this? u are so far behind and i am already half way getting into the lane!! *hand to forehead - aiyoyo style* and this is a highway, not a race track…sigh…

the only time i do not give way is when there is no indication given by the other drivers..is it so difficult to give indicator to inform other drivers your intention to turn right or left? pls use it, it may protect your life and others too..

i think people should be more considerate on the road. dont be childish. dont be a kiasu. there is no prize for being number one on the road.

There was no one in office on thursday except for a few of finance staff (5 of us) and 2 or 3 big bosses. it’s very quiet and thank God for that.

that makes me think that it’s very nice and ideal if closing week will always be like that. no one in office to suddenly come and ask for this and that when i am busy doing the monthly closing.

left about 7.30pm and after that, had dinner with the BIG birthday boy. heehhehe….when we reached Ton Chan, it was about 9pm. there were not many people there. it just feel weird that i did not see many people yesterday. but anyway, i just cant stop looking at the birthday boy…ehehehe….to me, he is just soo nice to look at, especially his eyes and his surprisingly naturally neat eyebrow. in amusement, i really thank God that the birthday boy is my boyfriend.

sometimes i wonder how did we both can end up together. all this began when we were still in primary 1. he told me that ronald used to asked him which girl he likes in the class and he would say me. ahahah…i dont know what made him choose me, as we barely know each other and i dont have my 2 front teeth!

so, the whole class used to teased us both, up to form 2, right before he left for kl for good. we both are not close to each other back in school. maybe we were shy and if any of the classmates catch us talking to each other, the whole teasing thing will start. it’s just embarrassing and i’ll start to blush.

i was really sad when i got to know that he is leaving kt, but i never show it to anyone, not even my best friends. i was even sadder (is there such word?) on his last day of school in smss. i wont be seeing him forever……..so i thought..(i really feel like crying now =P )

for that 5 years before we meet up again, i did miss him once in a while.  i wonder how is he doing…does he have a girlfriend (he is really good looking, tall, funny, etc), how does he look like (he should be more grown up and more manly)? will i ever see him again? how can i get in touch with him again….

i thank God that i have a friend who keeps in touch with almost anybody. well, if it was me, i do not know how good i am with keeping in touch with people and knowing more people, as i was and still is a shy person.

with internet and emails and whatever things we get to enjoy now, i saw an email address with the name of the guy i liked secretly in one of the forwards seow fen sent. hehehe…i wanted to email him, but my mind asked what if he doesnt know who you are or has forgotten about you?

hmmm…okay, i will just wait for the day he email me first…

so, i waited and waited and i waited for like more than 1 year, i think….ahhaha…where do i find such patience?

oh by the way, i already started praying for my future bf and future husband when i was in form 2. nope, not my mom who taught me that, but i was doing this Bible study for teenagers at that time and it mentioned that it’s good to pray for future bf/gf who will eventually become our life partner.

back to the story…..one fine day, i received an email from him!!! you can imaging how happy i was =D i think i felt like i’m on cloud9..eheheh… if i can recall correctly, he asked me if i can still remember him or not!! hehehe

so, this email thing went on for quite some time. oh, the email i received from him was after spm, when i was getting ready for college. the email thing went on for like more than 6 months…and we would send post cards to each other once in a while (snail mail has more personal touch ;D)

oh well, i think i will just stop there….enough of my story with my beloved boy..ehehe…did u get goosebump? hahahah…

anyway, lee kien, i am really happy that we are together. i really love u a lot and i thank God for answering my prayer and blessing me with you. Happy Birthday, Darling!

I was ready to stay back late tonite in office…moved my car nearer to the entrance and all set to concentrate on my work. Pap! Suddenly, darkness was all over the place…well, not all over, except for the emergency light which is too dim for anyone to read. i have the usb fan, thanks to Lee Kien but 10 mins after that, the rest of us who are still around decided to go back. is this blessing in disguise or what? ejhhehehe…

oh yeah, speaking of work, my manager didnt sleep the whole of last night! i received 2 emails at 2am and another one at 6am!! supermanAGER!! heehhe…poor guy la..and he has to attend so many meetings today..but he still look fresh and alert.

there seems to be so much things to do here in the company i am working with now..whenever i think that things are gonna settle down and the whole routine has become steady, new things never fail to pop up. never. well, maybe this is good too, at least i am not bound to limited things to do every month.

the most recent happening is, dealing with this mexican guy regarding intercompany billings…asked him for some information, but through email, it is clear that most people are at different frequency (according to the locations of those ppl in the email loop). to cut the story short, the issue is still pending.

coming back to tomorrow, well, i foresee that i need to be super efficient in order to finish up all of the work that was already planned on time. besides work, i also have other things that i am looking forward to, but not sure if they can be realised or not….firstly, it’s gonna be Lee Kien’s birthday on 1st Feb and unfortunately, i have to work on that day well, i just hope i can leave early from work on that day. secondly, i wanna reach home before 9.30pm from tomorrow up to 2nd Feb cuz my korean drama is nearing the final episode!! dont wanna miss it!!

hehhe…well, so much for work for now. i am gonna continue with my dinner and after that, shower and just in time for my korean drama. after drama, work maybe?? hhmm….

just commit all these plan unto Jesus and i know he will help me through…like for the past 3 years (almost) he has helped me through. I love U, Jesus!!!!
