petaling street adventure

Last Saturday, we had an (photography) adventure to petaling street.
I love adventure like this with ah dear.

1. We took LRT to Plaza Rakyat

2. Although I'm wearing a pair of high platform shoes, I can't walk properly ... thus we stopped by a shop to buy a pair of RM10 walking shoes ... somemore shocking pink colour that doesn't matches my clothes at all ... but who the heck cares!

3. We then walk to those gifts shop aplenty near petaling street. Me & ah dear are like buffaloes in the shop as there weren't much spaces to turn and ah dear head keep on touching those wind chimes and decors hanging from the ceiling.

4. Magazines and bookstores that sells cheap cheap books and magazines ... alas they are all in chinese =( nevertheless I still drag ah dear in and even studied a chart that show graphic of how we can determine the illness by looking at the ear. Apparently, our ears are like our feet, where certain pressure points represent certain organs or parts of our body.

5. I also dragged ah dear into a shop selling all types of DVD, VCD and CDs ranging from Korean, Japanese, Hong Kong, China series to movies. We didn't stay long as I was rushing to bring ah dear to visit my friends (the puppies).

6. We accidentally discovered the place where people consult the 'geomancy' for auspicious date for wedding occasions. Previously, a friend VV was looking for it, now I know where it is.

7. As far as I remembered, there were about 2 - 3 pets shops around the area but there is only 1 left now. My friends (the puppies) all looked very tired and sad. I feel so helpless.
We saw some colourful birds and a bird that is not a parrot but kept saying 'hello' and whistle 'ne ne ne ne ne ne' mischievously.

8. The hainan chicken rice shop now has a new look and feel ... air conditioned. Didn't eat so don't know whether the food is still as tasty as before.

9. We then proceed to petaling street.

10. The first thing we go for was the famous longan drink. It was definately a thirst quencher.

11. Then I dragged ah dear along to the flower shops ... just because I wanted to capture those flowers pics. They always make me happy. Hehe ... ah dear now knows what flower I like liao lu =D

12. We saw a chinese temple and went in to pray to seek blessings. Here we see many kweilo taking photos even as people are praying.

13. As we walk, ah dear brought me to a souvenir shop (behind popular) which has so many bears bears (again my friends) and other gifts. Walking into the shop, I felt so so happy because they were all calling me 'jie jie, jie jie. We curi curi took some pics when the shop assistants are not looking =p kekeke

14. The 'simply-bring-people-around tour guide' as ah dear called me ... bring ah dear to S & M complex opposite petaling street, claiming this is her territory.

15. Showed ah dear where I usually play badminton with my colleagues. Then we walked all levels of the shopping centre from lower group (magazine stall) to the top floor (DVD, VCD, CD shops).

16. I almost bought a hong kong series ... Forensic Heroes out of impluse but luckily I'm still able to control my spending and think practically after walking past the shop for a few rounds =)

17. I thought of bringing ah dear to eat at the food court ... which have one of the best thai fried rice. But I forgot how long I wasn't there that the top floor is closed and no longer have a food court.

18. As we are looking for food, I brought ah dear to a shop with lots of tidbits ... this shop sells mostly in bulk. I sort of regretted bringing ah dear there because he bought a bulk pack of 100 packs of lemon tablets (those small tablets in golden yellow wrapper). Ah dear even took a picture of the shop so he can come back there next time...lol

19. We almost gave up looking for dessert when this LUCKY 'simply-bring-people-around tour guide' stumbled upon a food court in the middle of petaling street that has ice kacang & tong sui. After enjoying ice kacang + tong shui + choki sticks. We decided to go home as I have a facial appointment at 4pm.

20. Without hesitation, we even ta-pau'ed 2 cendol & 1 rojak at the BTR LRT station. No doubt this 2 fella are 'wei sik mao' ah =p lol

21. This is beside the point but I actually fell asleep till snoring at the facial and only woke up when ah dear called. Lucky no saliva dripping from the mouth =p lol

Don't know whether can have more photo-taking adventure like this or not leh??? =D
photos for this post later lah, okie =D

ps. i notice i wrote like a kiddie on field trip ... broken english and all ... but i think you already can sense my 'happiness' and 'eagerness' ho? =D

my new passion, photography

I've never been a good photographer ...
and buying a DLSR. wasn't an appealing idea to me =p
(ask dear the trouble he took to convince me to agree to him buying a DSLR =p lol )

However, I didn't know what 'wind' blow and I found myself in love with photography.
Yearning to take good pictures ... that bring happiness to everyone a.k.a the people in the photo, the people viewing the photo, and the person taking the photo.

It's a very fulfilling thing to capture others' happy moments =) for you help to make that moment last.

like this one

I've just missed

Ooopppss .... I've just missed my bloggie's 5th anniversary

Time really flies ... I've been blogging for 5 years and yet I feel like I've just started blogging not long ago.

In these years, I want to say 'thank you sooo much' to my friends and all who reads this blog. I've unconsciously taken you all as part of my life =)
(read : I've taken you as the 'listening ears, the happiness sharer, the hugs providers, the punching bags for things that happens in my life)

5 years back, I've started this blog out of curiousity and out of kiasu'ness ...
today and for many years to come, I'm still writing and continue writing on this blog because this is 'memory keeper' for me, my family, my loved ones, my friends and my children.

I may run out of ideas on what to post sometimes,
and there may be some posts sitting in my draft because I haven't find the courage to post
but trust me that blogging is a passion that will stay with me for a long looonnngggg time.

Blogging moments to me are enjoyable moments in life.

Due to Yong's and now CY's blog ... =p

Have every girl thought of this?

I'm not too sure if every girl does THIS ? If you do / did, please do share with me.

THIS ... I'm refering to thoughts of how they want their wedding or wedding pics to be?? *wink wink*


I for one, sure did ... lol
thought of .. if one day I were to get married to the someone I love very much
I will want a wedding photo (and a wedding) like this, full of joy and happiness and naturalness of just being myself.


When I first saw the photo way back in 2004
I hope to have a wedding pic like this ... yah, i know I should stop dreaming too much during then as I didn't even have a bridegroom candidate =p lol

Somehow I thought I just saw 'me' in there laughing loudly.
It is just SO-LIKE-ME doing this kind of naughty things even in wedding gowns =p (except that I'm not even half as beautiful as the bride in the pic)


I guess it's alright being a little 'chou lou' even in wedding pics right??? =p lol

@ work

@ work these days
I'm fully occupied from the moment I step into office till the moment I leave.
Numbers of meetings to attend have increased tremendously too ... and it translates to more more projects up & coming.
I'm currently juggling 7 projects ... some beginning, some in progress, some near end (not to mention daily operational jobs and on-going production error remedy)

The only way I'm still sane is to make myself believe

1. that the fact that I'm in a few projects concurrently does make me indispensable ... oh well who still believe that there's a person who's indispensable to an organisation??

2. this is only a passing period before I see the rainbow ... you know, like what they say about once you've been through the tough, everything else falls nicely into places.

3. we will reap what we sow ... this one is true but what we sow shall be visible a.k.a do not just keep quiet after you've successfully completed a project ... go on, make it known.

4. these projects will add value to 'me' ... the experiences, the scope and the people you interact with, the 'everything-in-the-package-of-project'

5. I'm not a 'superwoman' ... there's is life @ work n there's life after work. If there's just so much a person can do, let it be .. not point over-pushing and producing sub-standards outcomes. Balance is the word here ... don't let our health suffer (like what happened to me)

6. We do our very best, that's the very best we can do ... True because each time when I think I'm starting to compare my productivity with that of my fellow collegues, I put that energy to good use. And I tell myself, god is fair because for every strength there's weakness, for every obstacle there's opportunity.
Different people have different priorities. Someone could be better than us in work because it is their 1st priority meanwhile to us, family & loved ones is our priority ... so it all depends, you see.


A good night rest for myself ... tomorrow will be a brand new day =)

7km ah ... eh sai boh???

coming up next ...

HAVE YOU GOT YOUR MAN?

HAVE YOU GOT YOUR MAN?
click here guarantee can get one ah !!! dun play play




OOOOPPPSS .... I mean have you got your man's numerology?

Number 9 man

The attraction factor you’ll be drawn to number 9 because he’s warm, loving & caring, with an arty or creative side.
You may be bowled over by his strong instincts (he’s the type to have psychic dream about you). Or it may just be his scintillating conversation that turns you on.

In love there’s a touch of the moral majority about him. He’s perfectionist, tidy and thinks he knows what’s what.
He’s the kind of man you’ll hear down the pub moaning about the unemployed and having endless debates about politics & religion.


Falling in love encourages him to drop some of his airs and graces and his normally critical voice loses its cutting edge.
In love he becomes less judgmental. And better news still, he becomes less prudish about sex and turns out to be surprisingly liberated.

Number 8 man

The attraction factor his deadly charm & incredible sex appeal should do the trick.
The type to bowl you over before he's even opened his mouth. he's bold, stylish and err.. oggrant. He may even be rich & famous. But it's now just that attracts you.

In love, he's cool and likes stay in control, but once in love he’ll happily hand over the keys to his apartment & his Mazda – though sadly he’s still likely to hang on to his wallet.

This is the man who’ll whisk you around town to all the best parties, then whisper that it’s time for you to leave & be alone.

Normally number 8 is pretty responsible with his money but when he’s in love, his credit card balance turn crimson and he spends money like he’s won lottery.
He’s no amateur when it comes to women (he has a library of little black books), but once the love of his life is on scene, he’ll happily torch the lot.


Number 7 man

The attraction factor he’ll bring out the spiritual & imaginative in you and it could be you’re drawn to him as, subconsciously, you want to learn something other-worldly. This man will teach you how to dream.

In love number 7 makes things happen. He can usually sorts of crazy dreams – both yours & his – come true. You’ll know when he’s serious because he acts spaced-out and in the clouds.

Number 7 is spiritual & sensitive, but when he’s smitten he can get a bit too introspective. He likes to fuse with your mind, body and spirit – don’t be surprised if he suggests a bit of Tantric sex.


Number 6 man

The attraction factor if your have a tendency to look at life through rose tinted specs – and let’s face it, it looks prettier in pink – and like the thought of a serious romance with a wholesome man, then number 6 is for you.
You’ll probably be attracted by the ‘provider’ image, the fact that he’s food with children or the idea that here is a man who will always look after you.

In love number 6 is a real provider : clothes, shelter, three course dinner, TLD and sex. When he’s in love, he’ll want to build the perfect nest (our of Habitat furniture, not twigs and spit, we hope), so if you’re looking for commitment & stability he’s your man.

He’s a true romantic ; of the hearts, flowers and scented candles round the bath variety.
But be cautious : since naturally romantic men are such a rarity, you might find yourself falling in love with him rather too quickly only to discover while you’re smitten, he’s just having a good time.
But it should be easy to work out how he feels because he’s the kind of man who wears his heart on his sleeve.
Beware : nothing’s a secret where his emotions are concerned.


Number 5 man

The attraction factor you go for him when you feel like experimenting and living life to the full. He’s the type to have a trapeze in the bedroom and he tells the best stories and jokes.
If you’re the earthy type you could help to calm him down, or at least get him to stop at red light for a change.

In love, this man has a logical mind, but when in love his brain turns to scrambled egg.
He’s the wild and dangerous type- drink too much, smokes too much – but when he’s smitten you could become the only stimulant he needs.

Number 5 is also great for procrastinating. ‘Why do today what can be done tomorrow?’ he’ll groan, with his bum stuck firmly to the sofa.

Fortunately, falling in love brings out his hidden qualities so he’ll work hard as well as play hard. Whatever, he gets away with it because he’s one life charmers.


Number 4 man

The attraction factor if you’re looking for a friend, and a loyal ofie at that, he’s a good bet. He’s hardworking & practical, which is a bit of a turn on (especially when your central heating’s packed up).
Number 4 is no slouch in the sack and although you might have a struggle to keep his practical sex manual under the bed, you’ll have no complaints in the satisfaction department.

In love, fondly known as Mr B&Q, he’s the practical type who’s willing to help you out. He’ll stop your hairdryer from blowing up, rustle up a mean risotto and unscrew the top from a stubborn jar of Branston.

Number 4 isn’t keen on being in love because it interrupts his daily routine (the phrase’anally retentive’ springs to mind).
But once he’s fallen deep enough, he’ll organize his life around you.

Love makes him feel more secure, but it’s worth remembering that this man likes a challenge. If you want to whet his appetite, you’ll have to be prepared to put up a bit of a fight.


Number 3 man

The attraction factor he’s the perfect choice if you’re the sensible type looking to let your hair down. His sexual behaviour straddles the fins line between uninhibited and wild (sex up a tree, over the kitchen worktops – yes please).
Frankly, this man doesn’t give a stuff about what anyone think.

In love when he’s single and roving, number 3 is a real slob.
Left to his own devices it’s a case of green furry plates under the bed, empty special brew cans strewn across the room, spewing ashtray and dirty washing stuffed in Tesco bags.

But he’s not stupid. As soon as there’s a woman on the scene he gets the vacuum out so by the time you get to snoop in his bathroom cabinet his place will be spotless, there’ll be freshly squeezed orange juice in his fridge and even fresher sheets on his bed.

In love, number 3 is good fun, energetic and witty. Evidently love gives him the rocket up the backside that he needs. And the added bonus with number 3 is that he’s a demon under the duvet, so the only question you need to ask yourself is : can you handle it/ oh, go on then.


Saturday, June 28, 2008

Number 2 man

The attraction factor you’ve had with the casual, non-committal types.
And right now, if you’re looking for a soul mate to fall in love with. Put down the binoculars, because here he is.
He’s looking for all the same thing as you (makes a refreshing change), thoug watch out for his moods. With ail that sensitivity, emotion could fly…

In love number 2 usually placid and calm, but when he’s in love he gets terribly over emotional. You might even catch him crying with happiness. That’s how sensitive he is.


He’s an incurable romantic too : someone who’ll cry with you through ‘Gone with the Wind’ for the umpteenth time and buy you fluffy toys to take to bed with you (when he’s not there of course).

He likes to be mothered, but when he’s in love he’ll be the one smothering you with love & affection.

Togetherness is the key for this man.

Number 1 man

The attraction factor he’ll come into your life just went you need a bit of calmness and depth. You may be drawn to this man because he is brainy – and intelligence turns you on- or perhaps because you’ve overdosed on too many ‘himbos’ recently and need someone to remind you how sexy it is to have a proper conversation.
And, if you’re an extrovert, you’ll love his shyness because you’ll find it a challenge to coax him out of his shell.

In love this bloke’s a bit of a chameleon. Usually he’s shy and withdrawn, but once you get him hoked, his ‘don’t mind if I just blend in with the wallpaper’ routine transforms into confidence personified. He doesn’t just come out of himself, he explodes. He always talks about needing his space but once he’s in love, his caring, sharing and holding hands in the supermarket side come to fore.

Normally the archetypal intimacy-phobe, when he’s really smitten this man will reveal his deepest, innermost feeling to you. In fact, love is the only thing that will tear him away from his work and help him chill out.

Number 1 is naturally ambitious and very driven and when he’s single, his work is his life. Falling in love helps him to loosen up and nudges him to drop the ‘independent’ bit. In love he’s happy to lean on you more.
