Lantern festival gathering

Every year, I'll normally get together with my college friends during the mid-autumn festival. It has been an annual event for 4 years. We'll get together at the Bukit Jalil park. That's the place where we'll eat, chat and light up lanterns.

I remember having pictures taken every year at the same place and spot. Can you identify which pictures were taken in year 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006?

Some history about Mid-Autumn Festival …

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festivity for both the Han and minority nationalities. The custom of worshipping the moon (called xi yue in Chinese) can be traced back as far as the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties (2000 B.C.-1066 B.C.). In the Zhou Dynasty(1066 B.C.-221 B.C.), people hold ceremonies to greet winter and worship the moon whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival sets in. It becomes very prevalent in the Tang Dynasty(618-907 A.D.) that people enjoy and worship the full moon. In the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.), however, people send round moon cakes to their relatives as gifts in expression of their best wishes of family reunion. When it becomes dark, they look up at the full silver moon or go sightseeing on lakes to celebrate the festival. Since the Ming (1368-1644 A.D. ) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911A.D.), the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebration becomes unprecedented popular. Together with the celebration there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as burning incense, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers and fire dragon dances. However, the custom of playing under the moon is not so popular as it used to be nowadays, but it is not less popular to enjoy the bright silver moon. Whenever the festival sets in, people will look up at the full silver moon, drinking wine to celebrate their happy life or thinking of their relatives and friends far from home, and extending all of their best wishes to them.

My birthday wishlist :-

I know it's a bit too early to think of what I want for my birthday.. but that's the only excuse I can give to get this phone. hehe.. I would like to get a Nokia N73 for my birthday! *Hint Hint*

Oh well.. I think it's time to get a new phone to replace my 1.5 years old O2 mini PDA phone anyway. My phone is a bit outdated already compared to all the new phones now.
I'm attracted to all the features they have in N73. It's a 3G phone with pretty cool features. It can take pics of up to 3.2 megapixels..

Do you think I can save up in time to get this phone as my bday gift? ;)

My website is up!!!!! FINALLY!!!

Guys, check out http://www.starzfashion.com

My website is up finally! It's not an easy task. Spending all my free time after work to take pictures, edit pictures, advertise and so forth... Lots of hard work involved. Anyway, I kinda enjoy the end result. :) It's worth it. Doing something that I enjoy...

I've got a few customers already from all over Malaysia. :) Hope more to come. Guys, need your support as well. Please pass it on to friends or family members. When you think of accessories, think of me first yah!

Cheers!

Feng Shui or what?

I was at my friend's place for dinner the other day and I found a mini black vase with a ribbon on it at the window grills of my friend's room. It's pretty uncommon to see something being put there. I don't think it's for decoration purposes.

Out of curiousity, I went near the window and I drew the blinds to have a better look. *Whoah* Something caught my attention from the opposite.
Can you see what's at the opposite side? Let me show you a zoom up pic below.


Can you see it now? It's actually a book (some chinese prayers book) being tied to the neighbour's window grills. Hmm.. now I know why there's a mini vase in my friend's room.

I think I know why the neighbour is doing that. The neighbour's window is directly facing my friend's main entrance of the room. According to some people, it's probably not good feng shui or bring bad luck. So I guess the neighbour puts the book there to fix "the problem".

Oh well..Do you believe in all these? As for myself, maybe 50% 50%. I won't go to the extreme of course. No harm trying some simple practices though but I won't do something like the above. :)

Finally..... www.starzfashion.com

Initially, I would like to have my domain name as starzfashion.com. Then... I've changed my mind to katescollection.com. Half an hour before submitting my domain registration today, I've decided to choose my first choice. I still prefer the first one.. I don't like using my name as the domain name. Sound's pretty funny.. haha :) 'Michelle, hope this new name sounds good too! :)'

No turning back now.. I've registered www.starzfashion.com as my domain name and they'll activate it within 24 hours! With the help of my friend, the logo is on the way.... :)

I've also registered a hosting provider today and it'll also be activated within 24 hours. Now.. the most critical stage.. there's a lot of work to be done! Work hard!!!!!

Domain name???

I would like to register for a domain and I'm struggling to find a nice, simple and catchy name for it. Should I put a generic name for it or should I use my name as the domain name?

Tell me what you think about 'www.katescollection.com'. Does this name sound ok?

I'm sure you guys must be wondering why out of a sudden, I would like to register for one. I'm intending to set up an e-commerce site to sell some accessories. Shocked rite? I didn't plan this at all... The idea just pops up and it does sounds interesting. I haven’t tried this before and thought why not. I’m not sure whether this is going to work but I hope it will. Need lots of support from you guys out there to make this work. ;)

What do you want in life?

Do you really know what you want in life? I'm always asking myself the same question over and over again and still.. i can't really answer that.

The reason for that is because in every different stage of my life, I want different things. I think that's pretty normal and it happens to everyone. Priorities changed when you start to grow older!

When I was at school, what I want in life is to have fun and at the same time to get good results so that I can gain entry to a good university. Looking back now, I really enjoyed my school days.
During my college years, my priorities changed. What I want then was to get excellent results so that I can secure a good job later on. After my high school, I took 2 years to complete my degree in a college environment. I finished my degree at the age of 19 compared to many of my other friends who graduated between the age of 21-23. At that time, my priorities were to quickly get a job after my studies and to start earning money. Looking back now, I did regret on graduating so early. I should enjoy my college years. I should take a long break before I go look for a job. I didn't really do that. I started working not long after I finished my degree course.

Now.. I'm in a different stage of life. After working for almost 4 years, my priorities changed again. There's been a lot of thinking on what I want in life at this point of time. Should I put money as my first priority or should I put 'having a life' as my first priority.

If I ask this question, I'm sure many people will definitely say, $$. They'll ask me to make money while I'm still young and it'll be difficult to do so when I have a family later on. I agree on this point.. but I want to enjoy life as well. I don't want to be away from my loved ones and friends. I'm going to be in my mid-twenties and I don't want to miss this phase while I'm still young and I don't want to regret looking back at it when I'm 30. I've already missed out a lot during my college life. I don't want to make the same mistake again.

I chose to stay put here in KL and to focus on my career development instead of thinking too much about $$. I'll get to do what I want to do (hopefully all goes well) and I get to be with my family and friends.

I hope that I've made the right choice!

Haze is back....

You'll never know when will there be haze.. It comes and goes.. In the morning, you'll see clear blue sky.. and when the evening approaches, it's all hazy.

This picture was taken from the office in PJ at about 3pm today.

My first Samba lesson!!

Do you guys still remember about the Salsa fever I had back in June? I was supposed to join the Salsa class with my colleagues in July but due to my work (I'm based at the client's somewhere in PJ), I had to cancel it. I was a bit disappointed with it but that didn't dampen my spirit at all. I tried to search for other places which offers dancing classes. It doesn't have to be Salsa. I don't mind learning Latin-American dance as well.

I tried my luck 'googling' and came across this dancing class which is offered in YMCA. I mailed the person in charge and he asked me to call the instructor directly. I called the instructor and was surprised to find out that she has a dance studio somewhere near where I'm staying. That's just superb! I've decided to join the class at her studio instead of YMCA as it's more convenient.

3rd August 2006

My first lesson - I arrived at 8pm sharp at the studio with Paul. The studio is not too bad. It was much better than what I've expected it to be. There were two couples ( I think they are in their sixties) practising some dance. Then the instructor came over to introduce herself

Instructor : "Hello! I'm Joey..
Me : "Hi. I'm Kate and this is Paul"
Instructor : "Wow... you are young! I didn't expect you are that young. What makes you wanna learn dancing?"
Me : "Err.... for fun?"

I was stunned when she asked me that question. Oh well, I don't think I'm young. I can feel that I'm getting older.. My age is increasing really quickly ;)
Anyway, there were 6 of us in the class. Two couples who are in their sixties and another two girls who are about the same age as I am . The first dance she taught us was SAMBA! She explained that SAMBA was not meant for beginners but she would like us to learn it rather than learning Cha-Cha.

Samba's a fast dance and I think I'll like it. :) The 1 hour dance lesson was not too bad. I didn't find it difficult at all but I need more practices with my partner to be able to dance well. I'm looking forward to the coming ones!

Durian durian

It's pretty amazing to find out that a durian stall at SS2 also has a webpage of their own. I wonder what will they put up in their website.

Let's take a guess. I think they'll have an introduction page to different types of durians they are offering, the location of their stall and their contact number and email address. That's all I can think of actually. What else can they put up in their website?

Do you think they'll have delivery service as well? Like the ones Mcds have it..? I think this is very unlikely..

Anyway.. let's check out their website to find out more Durian SS2

-Introduction page to different types of durians
Bingo! I had this one correct

-About us page which contains the location map
My guess is correct for this as well

-Enquiry page
Yeah! Another correct guess

-OMG, they have a flash 'Welcome' clip as well

-Durian show (Some photo gallery of durians and their plantation)
This is not fully utilized though. Can't find much contents in this link

Oh well.. I've expected the webpage to be like this anyway. What can you expect from a small stall just by the road side? It's really good enough to have this webpage as it meets their purpose. Advertising their stall! Not bad!

However, it's nice if they can offer more information as below.

-What about an education page.. teaching us how to identify different types of durians..
- Delivery service
- The price of their durian would be lovely too

Company Outing-Makan trip to Melaka

Saturday, 15th July 2006

I woke up super early on a Saturday morning to go to Melaka for food. Woohoo.. here we come.. 17 adults and 7 children.. That's a big group!

Our meeting point was at Mcdonalds and guess what? I had my breakfast from Mcdonalds.. I regretted ordering the meal.. I was so full after that.. How can I eat later on? :)

Our first stop in Melaka was the Chicken Rice Ball. I just had 3 rice balls and a small piece of chicken. I was just too full. The food wasn't that great. I still prefer my 'Char Siew' rice :) After that, we went to eat Cendol.. my favourite.. :) I enjoy the brown sugar and the green jelly alot! Yummy Yummy..

The weather in Melaka was super hot and I wanted to get a hat for myself. Look what I've done to the others as well? The straw hat gang! Aren't we cool? haha.. The farmers from some Kampung! Wahahahhaha!!! :)

We had Nyonya food for lunch at Bibik Neo. I have tried that restaurant before but not too sure why the food was quite disappointing that day. Anyway, after lunch, we went to Mahkota Parade for about an hour to burn some calories before heading to eat Pork Satay. Some of my colleagues enjoyed it but not me. I find the taste a bit funny. I still prefer the original satay.. Nyum nyum...

After that, we headed down to Jonker Street. We spent about an hour there before going to Seremban for Crabs. Now you know why I'm on a diet regime this whole week ;)

I've uploaded some pics of the trip in my photo album.

Happy 25th Anniversary, Mum & Dad!

My parents organized an anniversary party at home last Saturday and about 400 people turned up.

Mum ordered 1000 sticks of "lok lok" and just within 1.5 hours, the food was gone. As for satay, she ordered 900 sticks and within 2 hours, that finished too.. Gosh..

The buffet dinner is about to begin.....

The anniversary cake & also my dad's birthday cake

Cake cutting session!!

My friends who came over to drink, eat and have fun!!!

The four leng luiss :)

What's this?

I wonder how people design building these days. What’s the use of having such a beautiful architecture but the building plan sucks? A building with more than 50 floors and there’s only 4 levels of parking spaces. I’m referring to this blue building which looks like a sword. Last year, 3 of the 4 levels were only reserved for permanent staffs and 1 level is opened up for visitors.. what happen to this level now? Half of it is reserved for them.. Oh gosh.. then where do you expect the visitors to park? There’re some parking spaces outside the building but it’s limited. So if you arrive late, say bout 10am, so sorry.. you’ve gotta find a parking space some other place.

We were discussing this over lunch about having functions in this building. Just imagine all visitors are all nicely dressed but they can’t park in the building. They have to park about 5-10 minutes walk away. So imagine them, walking under the hot sun, sweating.. Really funny! If I’m one of them, I’ll be cursing like mad.. what is this place.. :P

Anyway,when I reached the office at 8:50 last Monday morning, the car park outside was full. I don’t know where to park. There’re parking spaces at the next building but that means I’ll have to walk far and you know me.. LAZY! I saw an empty space at the road side and I parked my car there. I plan to park my car at the proper car park during lunch time. More spaces by then… So when I went down to get my car during lunch time, know what I saw on my windscreen? A white piece of paper… it’s obviously a “SAMAN by DBKL”.. Congratulations! This is the first time I’m getting one :)

I stood at the side of my car for a while.. thinking on whether I should just leave my car there since I’ve already got fined. I felt a little bit uncomfortable with the idea and drove my car to the proper parking space. Now.. another problem.. paying the fine.. I have to pay within the first 14 days.. coz it’ll be much cheaper.. There goes my RM30 to the DBKL fund.

I still find people parking at the roadside everyday. I think the DBKL fellas are so happy to come to this area everyday and I’m sure they can hit their “SALES” target every month. Hehe.. I also find some cars with those white papers on their windscreen early in the morning too. What I suspect is that, once they got fine, they will continue to park at the road side and recycle the white paper and put it on their wind screen every morning to trick the officers.. Hmm.. you sure this works? I have no idea.. but I don’t think the officers are so easily fooled by these “smart” people eh? :D

Fountain?

I Hate Monday!!! Don’t feel like going to work… Why is the weekend so short? Why can’t it be longer? Sighzzzz…..

The water pressure at home this morning was pretty low. It’s the sign of no water… When I was driving to work this morning, I saw this huge fountain That answers why there’s low water pressure at home… *Grin*

My client's Annual Dinner

Friday, 30th June

My second day in the island….

Woke up late this morning but luckily can manage to reach office around 9:15... I’m not late.. bumped into a few staffs of the company in the same lift.. I tried my luck again to see whether the connection is up.. to my disappointment, it’s still not working.. oh well.. GIVE UP!

Luckily today is Friday.. so.. I’m not that bothered with the connection.. Just received the invitation card to the Annual Dinner of my client tonight. Look at the card… The theme for tonight is “Black and White”.

I’m supposed to wear something which is black and white. Quick check.. I’ve got a black dress and I can have a white shawl to go with it… There you go.. Black and white..

The annual dinner was pretty good.. Everyone receives a goodie bag and also a lucky draw prize.. Check out what's inside the goodie bag.. 2 shampoos worth nearly Rm100, a torch light, and a high quality notepad. I received a kettle for the lucky draw.

They invited Nita from last year's Malaysian Idol finalist to perform. She belted out a few songs. There was Henkel Idol as well.. and guess what? I participated in it. Every table is supposed to send a representative to participate in the contest. No one wants to sing.. so they asked me to go for it. Out of the 10 contestants, I was the only female.. hehhe.. and guess what? I got 3rd prize.. :) The song that I sang was "Top of the world". It was a simple and nice song. It's easy to sing. I won Rm100. Not too bad yeah!

You You Restaurant

I went to this restaurant yesterday, called "You You Chinese Dining" at 'The Weld'. What a name they have there. It's my first visit to the restaurant. From the outside, you will notice that the decorations in this restaurant is pretty cool. There's this nice and warm feel.

Anyway, we ordered a set dinner which includes 2 sets of soup, 2 sets of main meals, 2 bowls of rice and a dessert of the day.

The food we ordered:-

Do you think I'll come to this place for food again?

The end of my virtual world???

I’m being "exported ” to the client’s place today for some work and I’ll be there for about 1 month. It’s at the blue unique tower along Federal Highway and that means waking up early to work every morning. Phew! I was so sleepy this morning, started my journey to work at 7:50 and it took me nearly 40 minutes to get there. My eyes were only half open throughout the journey… bit dangerous yah!

Oh well.. you guys must be wondering why am I complaining coz some people start their journey earlier than me.. This is because it only takes me 15-20 minutes drive from my house to the office every morning ... :D See the difference?

Besides having to wake up early (sacrificing some of my precious sleeping time), I couldn’t access the internet at work. Oh gosh.. How can I survive without the internet? Shit shit shit….It’s not because they don’t allow me to surf the web.. it’s my stupid laptop setting. The network guy tried to configure it for nearly an hour but still failed to get it up. Help help!! What is wrong?? Is it due to some security settings which clashes between my lappie and their network? Sighz… when can he get it fixed? It’s like I’m being sent to this small little island where I'm the only one there and there's no way to communicate with the outside world.. Arrggzzzz...

My Wish List

Dear Santa,

I’ve been a really good girl so far… so.. you know what to reward me for Christmas this year.. :D

WISH 1
I would like to get myself a new camera which is small and light. Reason being so that I can carry it wherever I go and snap quality pictures whenever I want.. I can do it with my phone currently but the quality sucks... Besides... my Canon Ixus2 is a bit cacat these days.. So, it’s time to change a new one

WISH 2
I’m desperate for a holiday.. Somewhere nice where I can relax my mind and probably enrol myself in a shopping therapy too ..Somewhere cold and not hot hot hot… Hmm.. Beach holiday? Shopping trip? Overseas holiday? Anything…


WISH 3
What’s wrong with having a new handphone with 3G features? ;)

WISH 4
I’m running out of wishes… hmmm I’m hoping for aaaa….. brand new car.. hahaha No harm to wish for a new car rite?

Santa, I don’t mind if you don’t grant me wish 1 to wish 3.. but can you grant me wish 4? I promise to be a good good girl when I've received the car :P


Thank you.

Kate @ The GaMbler...

Are you a gambler? Am I a gambler? I hope not but the World Cup is turning everyone into one..... almost all of my colleagues in the company.... haha

We've been predicting scores for some selected matches ever since World Cup started.... I haven't win any yet.. Need more luck :)

Besides that, I've learnt how to play a different type of betting instead of predicting the scores, we're predicting the goals.. either 1st half of the game or the 2nd half of the game.

I tried my luck last Saturday. I bet above 1 goal for the Argentina vs Mexico. I was too tired to watch the match at 3am.. and when I got up, checked the scores!!! hOoray!!! I've won 100 bucks.. hehe pretty easy rite? haha.. so now, i have 100 bucks as my capital.. I'm going to use that to invest in other games..

Probably tonight's match?.. ;) See... there goes.. Kate the Gambler

Look at the countries that I've covered so far.. Still a lot more places to explore.. :)



create your own visited country map

SALSA Fever!!

Besides the world cup, it's Salsa Fever in the office!! :) Everyone is talking about it yesterday and there are quite a number of us in the office who's going to take up Salsa classes!!

I'm definitely not going to miss it.. as it's going to be great fun and also a good way to lose weight.... Any guys out there interested to join in as well? We need male partners for the classes.. :D

Mini World Cup Match Ball Replica

I was talking to Paul about the match ball being used in this year's World Cup just a few hours ago and guess what I found on my table when I got home? A mini match ball replica by Addidas. It's a gift from Maybank and I really have no idea why am I getting this from them until I read the letter which came together with the ball.

"Congratulations! Here's your complimentary Adidas MINI BALL. Thank you for applying for the Maybankard MasterCard during our recent Maybankard Credit Card Cup Fever Campaign. We are pleased to inform that you are amongst our first 1000 successfully approved customers..."



Please forgive the shape of this cutie little ball... I dont have the air pump to pump the ball. The design for the ball is pretty unique. I didn't say it's nice nor ugly.. Unique is the word! It's up to you to interpret what unique means to you. :)

What am I going to do with this ball?

Dreaming....

I feel like taking a break..by the sea with lots of trees.. the Wind blowing against your face.. hear the waves washing to the shore.. Birds flying here and there, hunting for fishes.. and myself.. lying down at the beach ..chilling out.. just enjoying what is in front of me...
Put aside all problems.. all frustrations.. and just relaxxx........... Which dreamworld am I in now?

Allergy Reactions

I'm down with allergy and I'm working from home for the first half of the day today. I wanted to go to work initially but changed my mind later as my face looked horrible. Dont wanna scare people away (hahaha). I'm feeling much better now.. just some slight itching... The rashes has subsided after applying the cream and eating the medicine given by the doctor.

I cleaned up my room and re-arranged things again. I still find my room lacking of something. Not sure what it is though.. hmm.. If I were to rate my new room, I'll only give 50% to it.

I found this stress ball which I bought in the UK in April. Who needs to borrow it, just give me a shout yah! I think it's pretty useful to those who watches the WORLDCUP ;)

FIFA World Cup Fever

Football here.. football there.. Wherever you go, you'll hear people talking about football.. I'm not a great fan of football actually but because everyone watches it, I joined in the craze :)

I have to admit that it's pretty exciting watching the game. You'll hear me shout and jump whenever the players try to aim for the goal! (Wahaha.. ) 56 more games to go! Have fun watching, people!

Short Trip to Cameron Highlands

Dad suggested to go to Camerons. That's his favourite place for eating steamboat and vegetables. I like Camerons too especially the weather. Nice and cooling with lots of greens surrounding you. A getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city life. As for mum, that's a superb place for buying fresh vegetables.


There are just so many types of vegetables to choose. Which one should I buy?

Someone's "Cow One"

Happy Birthday!!! Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!! Happy Birthday!!

KarAoke Session

Faye invited us to her Birthday Bash at the Red-Box KarAoke last Saturday. It's been a long time since I last stepped foot to a karaoke session. It's not because I don't like singing, but I can't sing Chinese songs... :( I've tried really hard to memorize the chinese lyrics so that I can sing a few songs but it's just too difficult for me.
Anyway, we had a whale of a time that night. They knew I'm a great fan of clubbing so they sang some fast tempo songs while I danced. :)

This was the birthday pressie I gave Faye. It was a ‘GAP’ belt which I bought from UK. Hope she liked it.

Then it was time to cut the cake. We're supposed to play a prank on Faye but looked what she did to us. I pity my dear... While he was singing, Faye suddenly came over with a piece of cake and smashed it to his face.. The funny thing was, my dear continued to sing.. and switched his song to .. 'Close my eyes... give me your hand.....' :D

Well, we did take revenge on Faye of course. When the staffs delivered two bottles of champagne, I'm sure you know what the guys did. They shaked it, pushed up and out against the cork and voila! The cork 'popped' and wine sprayed out. They were aiming at Faye!! haha.. I was hiding somewhere and didn't get wet. Poor Faye! She got all wet..

After that, we had to quickly clean up our mess. If the staffs found out what we did, we could be fined. haha.. but within minutes, everything was back to normal and when the waiter came in to clear some stuffs, he didn’t notice the room was wet.. We were quick! :)

Happy Birthday Faye!!!

It's Faye's birthday this weekend! I would like to wish her a Joyous birthday!

I've created something for her for her birthday this year. Something which i've never done before. So, she's the first to get it and hope she'll feel privileged.

The title of my artwork is the many faces of Faye! Hope she likes it. :)

Arcade games

When did you last go into an arcade centre? I remember back during the school days, that's the most happening place to be. The famous games in the arcades those days were the Daytona car racing, Time Crisis and much more. I'm quite good at these two games too back then.. ;)

I passed by Sungai Wang's arcade centre yesterday and I'm quite surprised to see quite a number of people in there which were mostly guys except 2 school girls who were dancing at the dancing machines. Most of them were in their mid-twenties and some were even dressed in their working attire. What a good way to pass time or to release stress after a hard day's work.



Just imagine handling a very difficult client and the client is really driving down your nerves. You cant fight back with the client. So, best way is to go to the arcade and engage yourself into a fighting game so that you can knock down your opponent by kicking and punching him.. haha... Not a bad idea to release stress rite? :)

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 3:39pm on a Saturday evening and I'm feeling very boreddddd and hungry.. Woke up at half past eight and started working till about 1pm.

I'm actually at my friend's place and my friend is still at work.. Leaving me all alone here without food or anything to do except my loyal companion which is the laptop! Sighz..... Come back quickkkkkk I am starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven't eaten anything since morning except a few slice of biscuits only... Argggggggggggggggssssssssssssss

Cruise to no-where

It was a long weekend break last week. My dad took us on a one day cruise to no-where.

The ship is a gambling ship. It will sail out to the sea and then back to the port . Our purpose is not to gamble of course. My dad’s friend invited us there for a night stay.

It was a quite a cool experience.... being treated as VIPs in the ship… There's a cordoned off area with a table reserved for us for dinner. Two cruise cabin staffs served us food. Other passengers looked at us in envy as it’s a buffet dinner for them ;) At the club, there’s a reserved table which is right in front of the stage for us to see the performance for the night. After that, a cabin staff took us around the ship and introduced us to the captain and the engineers of the ship. Quite cool rite?

This is our room for the night. Not too bad... :)

Catching up

I’ve been very busy ever since I came back from UK. I’m super busy at work (which is a good thing), and lots of catching up with friends as well. Let me recap on the thing’s I’ve done for the past 10 days.

1st of May....

Just two days after coming back from UK, I went on a short trip to Taiping. The initial plan was to go up to Maxwell Hill to see tulips but we were late. All tickets were snapped up. Guess where we went next?--> ZOO. I’ve been to Taiping Zoo before but that was many years ago.

What I think about the Zoo.. Hmm..The zoo was not as big as I thought but it was very well kept and it’s quite clean. There were not many animals in the zoo though. I only saw one giraffe but they have other special animals like the kangaroos.

6th of May...

What comes into your mind when I say about Melaka? For me, it's food food food. There's plenty of yummy food that you can find in Melaka. One thing that I always crave for is the Nyona Cendol. I went to Melaka last weekend to get some stuffs from my friend and also for food of course. Walked round the town and visited A Famosa as well. I then came across a street where they sell antiques and old junks. Hmm.. should I go search around my house for all these old junks and open up a stall there as well? haha...

Am I in Holland?Red House

Look at these.. they look so cute...
