June Happenings

More of my days..

On my baby's first month old.

Look at the blardy jam! Imagine I was stuck in this jam for 3 hours!
I was on my way to Sunway. Really tested my patience. =(
And you all know how impatient and restless I can get.. not forgetting I'm claustrophobic..
I only had my dinner at midnight. Blah..

This is the night before petrol price hiked.
Look at the cars queuing back to back causing all the necessary jam on the highway!
Also lotsa cars broke down / accidents. Horrible horrible night.

BSM Environment Day - bosses planting fruit trees..

Colleague

Colleague birthday lunch.

Another drinking session with colleagues. =)

So so describe me! =)

Pics of my beautiful baby..

Ok that's all folks.

Queen of piglets going to bed now. Nitey nite nite..

Gawai Weekends in KL

Hmm I bet you guys MISS ME! Muahahahahaha =D

Sorry for my absence. I know it's been awhile since I last blogged. At least I gave you some breather so you miss me more! C'mon.. admit it.. say you miss me..

Anyways, it's been a tiring month. Come back laze around sleep. Too lazy to think after I get home from work. Mentally and physically tired. Whole day on the computer at work. Come home just wanna do nothing. But for last week, I was out til late after work. =X Even went for field work and all.

It's unfair Kuchingites get long Gawai holidays til Wednesday! That's so ridiculous! Haha.. Alot of boozing for the girls back at home? I want that too!

Let me just recap my activities in photos for now. Hopefully I remember what I did! I know I've been boozing that's for sure. It's me, Angie. If I'm not boozing, I can't be called Angie to most of you who reads my blog! Bleks

Boozing at Samanta @ Uptown Damansara with colleagues and customer.

Second round with the Ladies and Mr. Beanstalk.
Picked my darlings from KL Central. They just arrived KL.

Bintang Warisan carpark. Damm scary ok.
I had to drive my car up the ramp that looks like this.
I was glad my car was on the top ramp and not the bottom.

More of Perlis

Photo sessions in April 2008. After exams.

The only happening people in Perlis =)

Spot the nots.

He's one head taller than me!

BBQ in Perlis

Just my point of view. People I met in Perlis are freaking cheap skate! Oops =X

It was my final year in Uni. For the whole freaking 4 years, there was NO prom, NO dance party, NO happening shyt ever in Perlis. It's just plain boring, dull and conservative.

There was suppose to be one grand event to be held in one of the hotel in Alor Star - serving Italian dishes for only RM35! (Cheap already ok! Italian wor) But.. no.. everyone is so cheap skate and don't want to splurge for the last day in Uni. They rather pay RM15 for a BBQ under the tent because it was raining and eat overcooked food because there wasn't good lightings around. Geez.

Already been so ngiaw for the whole freaking 4 years, still wanna be so ngiaw on the last day. Ask to be my travel partner to visit places in Malaysia / Thailand. No. Nada. Only person in Uni I traveled around with, is that 'Orang Putih Bodoh' *Grins*


Tell me now, would you have enjoyed a nice dinner in a restaurant or opt for this?

Notice the torchlight they used to COOK?!

Outcomes

Yes I was the only one in shorts -.- Who cares.

And of course, to end the night..
Nothing better than a chilled beer to lighten up the mood.

A New Chapter

I feel like a heavy burden has just been lifted off my shoulders. What a relieve. I have just finished my oral presentation for my thesis. Now just awaiting graduation ceremony! August 16th. Yayy!! I can FINALLY say I am done with my uni!! Good bye Perlis.

Welcome working life.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Or have mix feelings at the mention / thought of working. I guess I just have to find out. A week at work is just isn't enough to conclude. I'm not use to the working environment just yet. When I got back to Perlis. I slept a good 14 hours til the next morning! I've never felt this refreshing for a long time! Even before work start. I was rushing for exams, thesis, late nights in Kuching.

And don't blame me if I'm taking baby steps. It's a whole new world out there. =P It's scary! And I'm living in the big city alone. Time for me to grow up and fend for myself.

Weekends

Over the weekends, of course, more drinking session =)

Friday was at Alexis Bar, Bangsar. Continued on later over at my place with five huge bottles of beers.

Black Russian @ Alexis Bar

Saturday went grocery shopping with me imported homies. Planned to cook our own dinner. Had spagetti bolognese. (Don't have the photo of the spagetti. Paris! Photos please... )

Didn't know you can choose from this many!! *Headache*

Our grocery cart.

After dinner, clubbing again. I was bar/club hopping. Went to Mystery at the Curve for the Live Band. Not my cuppa tea. Later headed over to Bar Celona @ Sunway Pyramid the new wing. Place is freaking huge. Surprisingly was packed! It was Ok-lahhh.. But alot of lalas. Heard the owner of this place previously owned Rum Jungle. 2 bottles of Dewars = RM 650. 2 bottles of JD = RM 700. Rather get JD right?! But our group decided on Dewars instead. Boo Hoo.

5 seconds? Only made it to 3 seconds! Boooo =P

Yup, He's the man.

Some good advice from Paris.
(For more photos, click here)

The morning after, I decided to cook my own breakfast. Don't laugh! It's my first attempt! (Shy)

What suppose to be mushroom omelette, didn't turn out like omelette at all =P So it's just mushroom + eggs + potatoes.

It's yummy ok! Lol. (At least edible! Honest!)

Week 1

Holla!

I know I haven't been updating that frequently now! =P Ok ok I'll try my best not to leave it for a week before I update again. I'm currently in Perlis! Am just back here for a couple of days for my oral presentation. After that I'm done completely! Yay!

Road to work. My poor baby need to go through such hard ship in her first week... and a long way to go! By the end of the week, she's all dirty and covered in mud. Just had her pampered over the weekends, and looks brand new now.

See how bad the road is. So many pot holes. Blah. In due time, my baby will make all sorts of noises. Screw loose etc. Going for my baby's first service when I'm back in KL on Thursday. It reached about 1.2k+ km already. In 13 days! *Faints*

Work is simply tiring but never boring. So far, love the work environment. People are all very friendly and helpful. I can't complaint much. (I hope it doesn't back fire on me after say.. a month of work?) It's been training the whole week, and lotsa food! Lunch heavy meal everyday cause Bethany was here to train us newbies. Marketing peeps just love to splurge on food..

Went to Unique Seafood on Thursday for dinner with my colleagues. It's along Jalan Kemajuan. I'm glad I didn't get lost on the way there from home. I was the first to arrive! Food is yummilicious. Seafood dishes came fresh. Loved the steamfish and prawns. Highly recommend KL peeps to come here for seafood. I'm not sure what's the price like. Company's expense. =P

2 tables for the marketing peeps.

Prawns in Chinese wine. (Yums)

Roasted Chicken

Some Vege. Don't know what is this called.
Is this the veg where chinese people believe if you eat you get lotsa money to count?

Steam fish (Double yums)

Bbq Fish (Ain't my fave)

Crab - black pepper style

Butter crab - as in like butter prawn

Oyster baked in cheese. (Triple yums) =)~~~
Too bad they didn't order fresh oysters.

Chinese wine.
Need to boil it before we drink.
Added sour plum to bring out the taste.

My colleagues yam seng-ing

Bethany from BS (Australia) here on Buddy Training Programme.

Went to mamak after a heavy dinner. Haha
Roti tissue. - I have never seen it this long before!

The marketing peeps a.k.a my colleagues.
Only half of them are here.
See any pretty girls? =)
The one on the left is in my team. Just the three of us including my boss.

Day 2

I'm so freaking tired. Working in KL is not easy! Lucky I don't need to catch the train or anything. Would have been worst. And I haven't been stuck in a massive jam. *Touch wood.* Don't wanna end up getting in a jam tomorrow.

Driving to and fro to work no jam. Pretty smooth sailing. And I need to get up at 6 a.m. every morning! Get ready and hit the road by 7 a.m. latest. I reach work today at 7.40 a.m. Was the earliest and the only one there in my department. Lol. Scared I get lost you see.

So I wake up at 6 every morning, and I just got home just now at 9.45 p.m. after dinner. And I'm suppose to be in bed now. Told myself by 10 every night.. but hais.. can't sleep just yet. I'm physically and mentally drained. I just wanna come home and laze around in bed. I'm NEVER this homely! Haha..

Weekends come and go so fast! Why!! I miss my weekends in Kuching. I miss EVERYDAY in Kuching. Life is still so simple. =P And I miss my cheap happy hour and liquor!! Tequila a SHOT here is freaking RM 20! In Kuching Mojo is only RM 7 / shot. Boo Hoo.

Oh, btw, Carebear's phone got snatched by the snatch thief on bike this afternoon when he was walking to his car. Just right outside the guardhouse. Could have happened to me if I didn't get the carpark in the building. I switched with Carebear you see. Didn't want anything bad happen to my new car if I park it by the main road. Of course there was a price to pay. I offered to do house chores! =P Before this the boys were PAYING for a maid to clean the house. It's not cheap. RM 15 / hour / per maid. And they take their sweet time cleaning the house ok.

1st Day @ Work

My first day at work. I woke up late. That was because I came back late the night before. Got home around 12.40 a.m. ? And I can't sleep after that even though I was beat. Went to The Curve, Tesco and Ikea with Paris to shop for more necessities. (And spend more money!) Smarty Carebear left his house keys in his car and woke me up at 3 a.m. to open the door.

This morning, I had difficulties trying to lock and unlock the damm car steering lock. Freaking irritated. I need to get a new lock.

Oh, I've picked up my car! Finally! You wanna know the car plate number to buy 4D? Tee Hee Hee. It's a Kuching car plate btw. So it is actually 2 days old. Drove a good 300+ km already. Yes I know! It's quite a distance >.<

You like? I like..

Driving to work and back already takes about 120km. The road nearing to my work place is horrible. So many potholes, and still under construction. So my shiny, clean car ended up all muddy and dirty now. Sigh. My precious. And toll. OMG! One day to work, just toll alone is RM12! Now, did I mention that I was broke? I haven't even gotten my first pay check =( Makes it seem like petrol is much cheaper than paying for toll. Driving to work only take about 40 mins or so. Used the highway that's why! Not so jam. NKVE is so near my place. Then I need to take the toll at Setia Alam to get to work.

At work, I was half asleep. Definitely not a good way to start my first day. It felt like I was on cough syrup. Was so drowsy and sleepy! Morning was just introduction from my boss and reading up on the products etc. Afternoon, he brought me and my teammate for a tour in the factory. Lunch had seafood with the marketing department peeps at Kapar Town. Didn't take any photos or whatsoever. Would be an awkward situation if I take out my camera and start snapping away.

Peeps at work are all very friendly and helpful. It's a great environment to work in. (All Chinese in the Marketing Dept btw. Wee!) My team is pretty small. Only the three of us including the boss. My boss is almost 40 but he looks like only late 20s. He has a boyish look! Looks really is deceiving. Well, I will be dealing with technical stuff like testing and analysis should there be any corrosion in the steel products we sell, and to ensure and liaise with BOMBA and SIRIM that our products meet with the specs and requirements etc.

Was told that May to July will be the busy months. So my first traveling trip will be to Langkawi sometime end of the month. Then, if I'm not mistaken, sometime in July I'll be traveling to KK and Kuching (!) Wondering now should I go back for Rainforest? Aww.. I've promised MsPartyQueen and the girls that I join them this year. Need to wait and see when the dates are near.

Ok I'm beat. Good night.

KL @ My New Home

I haven't been updating much. Was settling down in KL. So many things to do and in the end I felt lazy to blog and to go out meet other friends. Also because I didn't have my car yet. My apartment is pretty out of the way from public transport. But it's near NKVE so I can get to work!

I finished my exam on Friday last week. Caught the bus down to KL that evening. Arrived at midnight and headed straight to a house party.

Got back from house party at 8 in the morning. Cleaned up the whole apartment the whole morning. Bought groceries and necessities in the afternoon. Went for dinner. Went to Sanctuary, The Curve. And by 4 a.m Sunday morning I was D-E-A-D tired! I didn't even sleep since 6 a.m Friday morning! Oh my. I'm getting a tad too old for this.

At The Sanctuary, The Curve.

Had two bottles of Hennessy, between the 6 of us.

JimBeam and I

The girls.

I like her. She's a hard core drinker too! She can keep up with me.

My apartment.

Before I clean up the kitchen!
Thank goodness it doesn't look like this now.

Me Room

Sunday slept til the afternoon. Then just laze around the house. Feeling so lazy to go out to meet up with my friends and all.

Monday work unofficially started. Had to go in for induction, sign offer letter and do medical check-up. My Marketing department peeps are awesome! They're all so friendly and helpful. Feels like a pretty good environment to work in. I've surveyed the leng chais in my company d. OMG. NONE! =( Sho sad. The only leng chai I see is when I come home to my apartment. Lol. I have to say my two housemates are even more better looking than the peeps in my work. Boo Hoo.

Monday night had dinner with SkinnyPants and BoHut somewhere nearby my apartment. It was great meeting up with her. Haven't gone out in ages. Great to catch up with old friends. Oh, Monday our electricity got cut of. Cause housemates forgot to pay the electricity bills and have been accumulating! It was a boring and dark night.

Tuesday evening. Had electricity back on. After faxing the receipt to TNB to verify we have paid and requested to have our electricity back on! Blah. Suppose to pick up my car. But the smart Perodua peeps mess up my order. Brought me the wrong colour car! I don't know which side is to blame. Kuching or KL Branch. But all I know is both the branch manager deserves a slap from me. Freaking rude people. I don't understand how can they be in customer service. Called them to ask politely how is the progress for me to get my car and by when etc. They ended up shouting and talking as if I have messed up with their schedule and shit. F*ck lah. I'm one of your customers too. I was so freaking pissed off yesterday. Even the KL Branch Manager spoke to me so rudely. So arrogant. If I weren't to get my car from your branch he would definitely hear it from me. I had to control my temper for goodness sake. Don't want anything wrong with my car.

Hmm. Today my laptop pissing me off. Keeps shutting down by itself! Argh. Help me. What could be the problem? Virus? Overheating? I need to defrag my laptop more?

Blah. I hope I can pick up my car today!

Kuching

This is my first busy holiday trip back to Kuching. I didn't get to hang out much with my friends. Had a few things to settle and most of my time spent was fetching my nephew back from school, send him to tuition, pick him up after.. I'm a mummy in training!

Haha and I can tell you.. it's tiring! I only did it for 7 days, on the weekdays. Imagine doing it for 12 years! From Primary 1 to Form 5. Form 6 was not too bad. Cause I drove sometimes. (Not including kindy) My dad had to do all that when I was in school. And I remembered I always complaint when he was late to fetch me from school. He only just wanted to beat the traffic jam. *I didn't appreciate his efforts back then, guilty*

After touch down at KIA, I made plans with T-Mo-T for dinner. Sushi of course. I was craving for salmon and wasabi. Used the Buy 1 Free 1 Unlimited purchase.

If you didn't know, let me tell you. From your phone, message : MY111 sushiking then send to 33365. You can only use once per sim card.

OR you can just click here for more deals and bargains!

Happy houred at Lounge 2. Then Sushi King for dinner.

Had 38 plates in total, shared between 5 peeps.

Went for Ladies night at Mojo after Sushi King with the girls.
Had Kiss the Bartender and tequila shots.

Both my partners in crime. Nicole and MissClumsy

Sipping coffee the next night at Starbucks.

Friday night, where else but Soho!

Oh, lost my phone too that night! I think you can figure out how I lost it. *Grins*

Got my Sim Card replaced on Saturday morning.

Bak Kut Teh @ Grandma's for Lunch.

Afternoon had drinks at Kaya and Toast.

Suppose to meet up ex-Teresians for dinner at Manhattan Fish Market, but last minute couldn't make it. Dinner with Family at Grandparent's instead.

Night was at Ipanema / Mojo with MissPartyQueen.

Sunday queued up for Big Apple Donuts for half an hour.

Went to brother's place for donuts and tea.

Had dinner with MissYanTie, MrHeineken, Boon and Leo at Lok Garden, Batu Lintang.

Moved on to bing! Unplugged after dinner.

Monday evening, Coffee Tasting at Starbucks.

Signed car deal on Tuesday morning.

Lunch at MrRockStar's place.
Hung out for abit. Haven't seen him in 7 years.

Wednesday, lunch with the kid at KFC.

Tried the Chicken Rice @ KFC.
*Tasty*

Sent the kid for bowling lessons. Stayed there to baby-sit.

Wednesday evening, happy houred at Triangle, behind Choice Premier with the girls. Btw, it's ladies night on Wednesday at Triangle too. Funny thing is, it starts in the evening at 5! When we were there. And for the whole night long!

Later at night, went to Senso for Cosmopolitan and watched Definitely, Maybe with Nichol at Star Cineplex. Didn't quite like the movie. Abit too draggy for me. Otherwise it's not too bad. Will Hayes is H-O-T! *Drools*

Thursday had Sushi King again with T-mo-T and MrMacho.
Except this time when we use the SMS was buy 1 free one, but limited to only 5 plates.

Had coffee after that with MrBig at Starbucks. Called an early night.

Friday night, was at Blink. A new pub at Fortune Land, just behind Grandma's BKT. Had 3 shots of B52 + Beers. Moved on to Ipanema. Had some flaming shot. Haven't KO-ed yet. *No pics for the night*

Saturday night was Seafood BBQ at MissPartyQueen's. Started with Uncle Jack at her place.

Moved on to Ipanema with Paris, Nicole and M.
Then to Goal and then Rainforest.

Too bad had to end the night early. Went home to pack. Leaving early the next day!

Just realised I had alot of alcohol for the 1.5 weeks I'm back. This is considered very minimal comparing to the other times I'm home. Oh my..

Gonna miss you all heaps!

XOXO

Gardening?

I'm not a big fan of gardening..The last time I planted one was way back in Primary school. (I think it was about 15 years ago! Ouch. Am I that old already?!) If I recalled correctly, our mission was to beautify the school compound. Students in my class were divided into a team of two. Our task was to take care of the plant til it actually flowered! I can't remember who my partner was. But I do remember our plant died! It was suppose to grow into a blardy big, woody, thorny bougainvillea or bunga kertas as the locals call it like this one :


If I'm not mistaken, Eing's team won! Those who remembered, please verify =P

Gardening is definitely not my thing.

Anyways, both my parents are big gardening fan. The front is my mum's 'territory' and the backyard is my dad's.

Here are some of mum's baby:


Sorry, don't know the names of these plants. I only know it looks good! =P

Perhaps one day.. when I have my own garden..

Or I can just hire a gardener to do the dirty work for me..
