Joyful X’mas 2011

This is a very different X’mas season for both of us. I came to know a great news 4 weeks ago. It’s such a wonderful and joyful moment we had. Thanks God for giving us to celebrate this important day on X’mas. Although the end result is so cruel, but we both accepted the truth.

Two more days, You will be going to heaven to stay with our Father. No matter how, we both will continue to pray for you. May you rest in peace with all the angels in Heaven. We are really sorry about it and please forgive me as I didn’t be a good and responsible mother to take care of you. RIP, our beloved BB..

Just received a msg from Hubby said that we are going to attend a funeral after work, his friend’s SIL passed away.

We departure from our work place to Nirvana around 7:15 pm, surprisingly we reach the place before 7:45 pm (TGIF and Buka Puasa ^_^) The ceremony suppose to begin at 8 pm, it was delay due to Pastor stuck in traffic jam from Shah Alam. Thanks God that everyone are patience and I suppose they want to spend some quiet time with their lost.

Its my first time to attend Christian funeral ceremony. I feel it’s so warm and peaceful during the whole session. The husband share his testimonal about how great is his wife. Although he did not cry out loud but we can feel how hurt on his heart.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for David and his family will recover from the sadness and be strong. Father, i pray that you will give them strength to over come this. I pray that Father you will send your angels to protect the family especially Alex and Sharon. The youngest one may not aware what’s going on. But Father I pray that you will be there for them wherever they need your guidance and strength. We pray in Jesus precious name. Amen.

I just realized that 5 more months to go till end of the year. Gosh, time really flies till i don’t even realize or recall what have i done for the pass 7 months.

Since CNY update, found that i didn’t update my blog for such a long time jor

Moving in to our new house in the month of March. Now i totally understand that to manage a family/house is not as easy as we though. Sometime we felt enjoy but most of the time i felt tired. As i can’t stand the messy or dirty in the house ^_^ But it’s a very joyful and great living experience for both of us!! New journey start!

Nevertheless, hubby bought a golden retriever to join our family. aiyo, we don’t even settle down our things, now i got to take care another one. *faint* To be honest, this little doggy is kinda cute and friendly. she’s a months old when she came to our family. Of course teaching her all the manners are not easy. Thanks God, she did not giving me hard times. Now she’s 5 months old, and she getting bigger and bigger. It’s time to leave her stay outside instead inside the house

I really Thanks God for His protection and guidance, because of Him, I learn many things thru my journey with Him. Although my Faith is weak but i do believe that He won’t give up on me wherever i pray. He really blessed me in my career. Moving up to next level is not as tough as i thought. But it’s really tired when i need someone who could share the burdens. There are many time, i kept asking myself should i give up and go. But i never do that. The only thing which i can do now is to continue my work, searching right people and develop the potential one in order to expand our unit.

Gong Hei Fat Choi @ 2011

Time flies.. It’s our third Chinese New Year celebration. This year both of us work till CNY eve and leave from KL to Ipoh at 4 pm. When we reach Ipoh, it’s time for dinner… haha just on time

The weather in Ipoh still hot as usual. However, the CNY environment are still the best compare in KL ^_^ After dinner, every one start to look for their gambling kaki.. Me accompany hubby to play cards and we do won a bit… wohoo… a good start for us in this year !!

Although we did not wake up early on the next morning, but still earlier than others Before having lunch, the Chee family having a very big crowd of distribute of Ang Pow ceremony.. All the kids and singles boys/girls will queue for ang pow from all aunties and uncles (including us too). After lunch, it’s my shopping time in Ipoh. Begging my driver to company me to Parkson as need to buy more shoes back to KL. Guess what.. I’d bought 5 pairs of shoe at last!! Average is RM 38 per pair… very cheap lor.. and the quality is good too

2nd day of CNY, after lunch we leave from Simpang Pulai and heading to Sg Siput. Hubby and his parents and relatives are going for golf. So me and sister in-law stay at aunty house accompany with all kids and relatives. Before dinner start, three of us went to Jusco for another round of shopping and lepak

On the 3rd day of CNY, nothing much to do but stay at home watching TV show as hubby went out with his parents and relatives for golf again. At night after a simple dinner, we started our journey to Jusco to meet up hubby and heading back to KL on that night. The traffic heading back to KL is so terrible. So many cars on the road. The jam at highway is not due to any car breakdown or accident but just too many of cars on the road!! Can’t imaging that so many cars in KL, the traffic is getting worst.. No wonder KL have so many cars everyday!!

Arrived home at 12am something.. Oh no, still need to un-pack and pack some stuffs back to JB on the next morning by flight. I only left few hours sleep… sigh.. what to do, quickly pack stuffs and shower and sleep lor… Now it’s 1:15am jor… can only sleep for 3 hours… sigh….

7th Months Progress..

This month will be the 7th months of renovation of our love nest. I must admit and proud with hubby as all the effort he put in is worth than anything. The outcome really turn as fantastic..

First we thought that the reno could be complete before X’mas. Don’t think can be ready by New Year eve too.. Anyway, we don’t really desparate to move in and yet there are too many things to build and settle. I rather take a bit longer time to do than rushing.

The most important is hope that we will utilize all the funds in our hand wisely and useful Can’t wait for the end result…

A meaningful SunDay @ Sanctuary Centre

Every year there will be a charity organize by Elaine. Usually we will have one during moon cake festival or X’mas. This year, we choose to have one in orphanage home at Setapak. It’s a pretty new home with 48 childs (all are indian boys and girls), between age of 3 – 18 years old. There are two homes for 48 of them. One for girls and another one as boy home. There is no furniture in the home, even a bed for them. Therefore all of them need to sleep on mattress on floor. And there are about 20 or more of them to sleep in one room. Can you imaging how bad it is?  

After understand their needs and wants, we gather all friends and relatives and colleagues to collecting funds to buy some double decker beds, rice cooker, fridge and groceries. I was busy with work and kidzone, therefore i didn’t collect much on fund. Hence, I did have a group of friends and colleagues with kind heart to helping me to arrange of foods and games and goodies pack, soft toys and clothes for the kids.

It’s a very good challenge for me. As i need to really plan well for my time management. To collect all goodies packs from Catherine, to ensure there are enough funds for more groceries, all foods plus cakes and nuggets, hotdogs are well prepare for tomorrow.. It’s not an easy job, especially I got to work on Saturday somemore.. sigh

Thanks God, the weather of that day are wonderful. All of us decided to meet up at McDonlad at Jln Pahang. After having our big delicious breakfast, we started our journey to Sanctuary Centre… yeah yeah ~

The person in-charge bring us to their boys home instead girls home due to limited space. After parking our vehicles, we start to unload all stuffs plus foods from our cars There are four cars full with foods, groceries and goodies pack (and also toys). The kids there are very excited when they see us arrive. They even have some performance to appreciate our helping and kindness After their performance, follow by our games. Our game master, Anas, Pui San and her team, started to play with all kids to get close to them I must admit that all of them are really done a fantastic job!!

Finally it’s lunch time, i can see all kids can’t wait to collect their foods from us. However, they are more hunger for KFC instead of fried rice or bee hoon from Joyce.

Overall, it is a very sucessful charity trip to this home. And all of us really done a fantastic job in terms of contrinute in fund or putting effort for anything. The joy and happiness from all kids of Sanctuary Centre are the more precious for all of us

Again, I want to thanks to all my friends who really take their time and effort to arrange or buy or cook to make this success!! You all are so Wonderful and Precious !! I’m so proud to be in the team with all of you.

May our great Lord bless you and your family and your loved one in good health, wealth, joy and happiness always !! Merry X’mas and Happy New Year!!

God bless..

Random ~ 13/07/2010

Such a long time i didn’t blog here.. If not mistaken, the last time when I was in Sydney for holiday break.

Well, there was some changes in my department. Me & my colleagues, four of us tender our resignation within 2 months. The senior management realized it’s such a high resignation in my depat during that month. To solve the issue, senior management decided to separate our current support team to Operation team, which reporting to another new department. I suppose it is a good start for us as different way of handling and different leaders.

After a deep consideration with hubby, me and one of my colleague accepted their offer and stay. Another two friends of mine, remain unchanged.

Life is full of challenge and there are many many issues awaiting for us to handle. Today we have our first official meeting with our marketing colleagues and ex-boss. I don’t feel comfortable with the outcome of meeting. I feel that every process sound like unchanged and the worst is getting more and more additional tasks which our team need to carry it.

Now I feel regret that accepting the offer and also feel sick with all the operation process. As the same issues will still come back to our end, no matter how. Just wondering why can’t we have a clear cut between Operation & Marketing? Is it due to first day we had been join together, and now is very hard for us to draw a line in between marketing and us.

Now, I don’t know how long i could stand and stay….

16052010

Today we wake up a bit early as hubby want to bring me to few places.

Our first destinastion of today is Hill Song Church, this is a city campus located at Youth Street. We take train from our place to Central Station, walk to a bus stand where there is a free buses provided by church to pick us. Arrving church, first impression about Hill Song is “Is this a church? It’s look like a commercial area!”. From the main entrance, there is a coffee bar at the centre. Of course it is not a free drinks, but the price of those drinks are much more cheaper than outside There is a bookstore on the right side of entrance, selling all kind of books or CD or DVD of Hill Song and also other pastors. There is another surprise while enter the hall. I though it is a TV hall like when you attend a TV show in live or some kind. Their equipments are some canggih, the stage and the big flat screens are so nice. Wah, this church is so awesome and blessed by the Lord.

After the service, we take bus from church back to the bus stand where near Central Railway, then walk all the way to China Town and Paddy’s market. Walking distance frm there to China Town is about 10 min, the weather is cold although the sun is there. Hubby bring me to one of the chinese rest for our lunch. The meal portion in Australia is very big compare to M’sia. Therefore, two of us always share one meal if not, we are not able to finish it !!

After meal, we walked to Paddy’s market. There are plenty of stalls here, so we bought some sourvenirs from here since it’s cheaper than other places, i suppose. Suddenly, someone scream “caught him”, then we saw a man chase a kid as the kid steal something from his stall. It’s seem no one assist him to caught or stop this kid, dont know why? Then hubby said, who is going to do so? As you wouldn’t know is there any other members with this kid or not. Furthermore, most people here are tourism, who want to take risk and help ?

Next destination is Darling Harbour. There are few attraction over there: LG Imax Threater, Cockle Bay Wharf, Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Wildlife World, Chinese Garden of Friendship, Star City and etc…

Hubby suggest to pay a visit of Sydney Aquarium since we have nothing to do. We purchase a so called: Value pass to visit 3 places. Value pass is allow us to visit: Sydney Aquarium, Sky Tower and Sydney Wildlife World. Validity of the ticket is one year. The price of this value pass is AUS 49.90.

Visited Sydney Aquarium, it’s really open my eyes to so many beautiful fishes & others in sea. Look at the shark, turtle, giant corcodile and many more over there.. It’s beautiful and also scary for me (cos i dont know how to swim )

Came out from Aquarium, hubby suggest to visit Sky Tower, since we are going to take train home from somewhere near there. Sydney Sky tower is where we can view the whole Australia.. If you want, you can choose for Skywalk also, but i dont dare

By the time we leave and heading to railway station is about 6:00pm and the sky turn dark already. Sun set in Australia is on 4:56pm, thats why by the time of 5:30pm it’s look like 7:00pm or 8:00pm in M’sia.

Well, I had walking so much for today till my legs going to “broken”. Too bad, the foot massage here was so pricey. If not, i will have my foot massage everyday lor… LOL..

Sydney @ 15052010

Arrived Sydney airport at 7:04am (M’sia time is 5:04am).. so early. The weather here is much more cooler than what I expect, cooler than Genting. Luckily I did brought more jackets beside from MIL

I suppose to meet up hubby at Chatswood station, howeve he offer to meet up half way which at Wynyard station instead. The train system & structer are totally different in M’sia (of course). Their train is much slower than ours, i suppose it’s like their living style. By the short observation at train station (while awaiting for hubby), people here walk a bit slower and relax than us. haha..

Finally meet up hubby and went back to his dome, located at Freeman street. It’s a five storey apartment but they called “Town house”. Well, the security here are totally different with us. I suppose nowaday security guards are the basic requirement for an apartment or condo in our country. Hence, here are free.

The management will only provide you a security card to enter the main entrance of your place and you must scan your card in the lift before pressing the button (just like we went to any hotel). There is no guards at all… Another best part is there is no lock for all the doors inside the apartment. Yes, no door lock at all, even for washroom as well. Somemore, if you didn’t lock your main door after you enter also doesn’t matter. Nobody will open your door and come in to your house.  If we are doing this in M’sia, died. All your stuffs in the house will be move and you wouldn’t see anything once you come back home.

Hubby also bring me to the nearest market at his place to buy some veges and groceries. Stuffs at here are quite pricey, if we calculate by our currency, all things have to x3.

Oh yeah, one more i realized that although it is a very cool weather, but those gals here still prefer to wear short skirt. Maybe they had used to it with the weather, i suppose. The time here is 2 hours ahead than M’sia. Thats mean i got to have my dinner 2 hrs earlier.. got to sleep 2 hrs earlier.. haha.. Anyway, i still need to take a rest early as tomorrow will be another great day for me.. Hubby is going to bring me to Hill Song Church, one of the popular and bigger church in Australia. Praise God.

Time to Fly @ 14052010

Finally, after so long of waiting. Tonight I’m going to fly to Sydney visit my dear Work till 2:40pm, rushing to KLCC to buy a present for hubby’s customer who an Australian. Leave KLCC around 3:15pm and stuck in traffic jam in Jln Tun Razak. Gosh, now is only 3: 15pm, but traffic jam is started.. Can’t imaging what happen after working hours..

Arrived home at 4:15pm, nevertheless continue with my packing. Am I bring enough stuffs/clothes/pants/shoes over there? Am I bringing over stuffs there? aiyo, how??? I’m afraid my buggage over weight.. I’m afraid Sydney custom not allow me to bring all my ELKEN suppliments over there (as hubby & friends did warn me not to bring foods there, otherwise there will be a penalty) Don’t care, just pack and try my luck since hubby said Australia not so straight with those suppliment stuffs but food.  After done with packing, i go to MAS website to check my buggage limit, afraid my buggage is over weight. Thanks God, i’m allow to check in 30 kgs buggage.. Ok, I suppose my buggage is within the weight.

Taxi pick up at 6:30pm and I reach KLIA at 7:15pm. After a long queue at check in counter (for economy class), the staff told me that i shd check in at Business class counter and not here.. Shit, i made a mistake pula. Ok, switch to Business class counter, no one here so  just take me about 5-10 min, check in done..(I suppose the business class ticket is damn expensive, thats why not many ppl here )

Next, take airport train  to another side of airport. After arrive, looking for the MAS Lounge as hubby told me that i can eat, drink, online and do whatever there. Manage to find the place, well it’s another experience for me. There are many drinks (even beers) and cookies over here, you can eat as many as you want. I can’t take it much as feel sleepy. Take some drinks, sit on the sofa and start to FB again.. haha…

At 9:20pm, go to gate C to awaiting boarding. The plane is here, everyone can proceed to on board. Well, travel by business class is very convenience  as no need to wait for queue to go in (am so jealous with those always travel by business class), stewardess are so polite (well, they are polite all the time, i suppose) and make you feel warm by address you with your name instead of sir and madam. I also found that those stewardess will treat foreigner passengers much more better than our local people. Perhaps they think that foreigner will complain more than asians, who know? My flight delay due awaiting for one guy who didn’t not on board on time. why this people so self-fish? Because of you, one person and caused the whole plane waiting, don’t you feel shame? Plane manage to take off around 10:45pm (by right is 10:10pm). Those stewardess are busy-ing taking our meal order, serve everyone with drinks (white wine/red wine/beer/juice) and towel. I though i can have a sweet dream after giving my order to her, who know they start to serve me with satay as supper. Aiyo, i dont eat supper one ler.. Ok, give face, then i ate and fall sleep. Then they served meal pula.. Serve with a shrimp & salmon as appetizers, follow by my main course which is  grilled norwegian salmon and fruits as dessert. Guess what, now is 12 midnight and i’m going to eat these stuffs. @.@ After finished all, I dont think they are going to serve me with other food, i think  now it’s time for me to sleep ba…

I suppose this is my first time taking a night flight, somemore it’s 8 hours journey. Thanks to my dear as using his Enrich points to redemn a business class ticket for me. Although i can’t really sleep well during the whole journey but i was grateful and appreciate with what my dear did for me.

Well, the stewardess wake me up at 5:00am, to serve breakfast. sigh.. I never have my breakfast at 5am, this is my very very first time again    Don’t think I can sleep as we are going to landing soon. In fact, our flight arrived early than I expect. But still we have to wait a little while as no place for plane to park. Finally, managed to get out from plane around 15 minutes later. I was a bit worry and nervous as this is my first time visit Sydney. I heard that Sydney custom is very straight especially for those first time visitor. As they are afraid those who come for illegal working. I was so lucky as they did not ask me any question (maybe i show my business class ticket kua… haha…)  After collected my buggage, i went to checking lane as am not sure whether my supplements are allow to bring in or not. Thanks God as they just scanned thru my buggage and informed me that i can go in without open my buggage. The lady who behind me is not so lucky as they are require her to open all her luggage included her hand luggage as well.

Now, another challenge for me.. Looking for train station, hubby is going to meet me at Wynyard station, manage to find the train station and buy a one way ticket.

Hubby arrived later than me as he claim that i did not tell him i was in train when i suppose to tell. Anyway, we meet at Wynyard and hubby realized that i didn’t buy a proper ticket till Chatswood. (to be honest, i though i need to buy another ticket when i’m in Wynyard station travel to Chatswood). So when we arrived Chatswood, the staff allow us to go out and advise us to purchase another tickets of it, how generous they are :)

Oh yeah, forgot to share the weather here is very cool. If not mistaken is about 13-15 celsius during day time. At night is about 11 celsius and below. No wonder my face is so smooth and not oily.. haha.. Of course, i prefer cool instead of hot weather.. but it look like i can’t really stand too cool weather especially below 11 celsius.

Looking forward for our tomorrow itinerary.. Going to visit Hill Song Church… yahooooo….
