Cambodia - Part One

Ya, I was in Cambodia for 6 days 5 nights trip in 14th-19th June 2007. I went with my colleague and her boyfriend. 3 of us went there with RM175 Air Asia return tickets at Phnom Penh that we'd booked earlier this year. Supposingly 5 of us going but that couple couldn't get to apply leaves.

I was excited to go beyond overseas to see other country's cultural and lifestyle. Its an eye-opener to see other's culture which is far away from developed country after the civil war and the Khmer Rouge. The weather was high humidity during the southwestern monsoon and it rain in the night time.

First day, we arrived at Phnom Penh International Airport, we went to Killing Field by taxi. Then we headed to our guesthouse in town to check-in our luggage. Later we walked down the street to have our dinner. And we walked back to our guesthouse. That time, the street was blackout which affected in our guesthouse too. We waited for few minutes, the electricities were back and we all slept soundly after the journey from the flight.

Not much time to do editing on my hundreds ton of photos when I was far far away from Malaysia for a trip.

I would love to show them all here but give me sometimes. I know most of my friends are anticipating to see my photos.

To those who know where I went, please wait ya. To those who don't where I went, just wait along too. (Keep guessing).

More pictures from Riza's on my Birthday

All these pictures were taken using DSLR. I love the self-shots of me with individual friends. Ask each of them to hold the camera cause its heavy but turned out great shots!

Baby Logan

Baby Logan was born in the month of March who Vikram & Ashley's first child. Since the day when he was born, I never get to visit the mum and baby due to circumstances. Finally I get to meet the baby when he is just 2 months old. I was excited to meet Logan and he is very cute. His dad is an Indian and his mum is Chinese, so baby Logan is a 'mixed'-ChinDian. Baby Logan is lovely mixed and I couldn't figure it out who does he look alike to whom. My mum said the baby looks like the father. Oh, well; every each days pass, the baby will change and by the time is appropriate then we could figure who does Logan look alike.

But the parents are going back to Japan as the dad is working based in Japan. Baby Logan is lucky to take a flight with his parents but I was so worried about his condition of taking flight. Don't know when to get to see baby Logan again. There we were having a lunch together with Irene and her friend. It was quite in a rush to have lunch as the next day they got to take flight back to Japan. It was sweet day to get together with baby Logan. 'Kawai-i'.

Let me show some of the pictures taken in my camera:

Take care Baby Logan, Vikram and Ashley. Hope to see you guys again!!! Look forward to hear from you!

A Wedding, Grandma's Birthday...

Days running pretty fast and it has been 2 weeks I was away to update the blog. Life wasn't easy since I got my new job. I guess you people has been reading my blog will already knew I've been repeating the same quetch. Full workloads with tight datelines. I've got to be multitask as not only working for my Head of Department but to Editorial Department. Phew... A lot of procedures got to be followed and sometime I got mixed up till my brain couldn't think anymore but stressed out. A long list await to be done at the same day, which is pretty tough to handle.

Although weekdays were filled with workloads but there certain time to hang out. I got a mini belated birthday; again which bought by WeiLee as promised to treat for my birthday. It was very nice small cake which enough to fill 2 of us. I can't remember the place we had the cake as I'm getting very short-term memory. It was a great day to hang out with delicious cake and nice horror movie. 'Spirit of the Victim', a Thai horror movie is recommended.

My Belated Cake - 5 May 2007



Anyhow, for the past 2 weeks I've been eating non-stop. First was my cousin-sis' wedding dinner then my grandma's birthday and then cousin-sis' tea ceremony buffet dinner. My cousin-sis, Siew Peng got married on Labour Day but she had her wedding dinner reception before she got registered. After that she has her 'tea ceremony' at her house in the next day.

My grandma's birthday was on Labour Day; 1st of May. She is in her early 80s. As you know she has in physical difficulty and wasn't strong. But she was enjoying the day of her celebration gathered with her children, grandchildren and a great grand-daughter.

Here are the glimpse of the days except the 'tea ceremony' buffet dinner.

Grandma's birthday - 1st May 2007



Siew Peng, cousin-sis' wedding dinner - 29 April 2007


At the reception area:


During the dinner. I know my face was red due to red wine intake. I wasn't drunk but easily get reddish on my face in just a few sips.


At the end of the dinner night:


After the 3 days of foods intake, my stomach was uneasy and in pain. It was painful till I felt like I got a gastric. I didn't go to see doctor. I was burping all the times and nearly wanted to vomit while in pain. I drank some warm/hot water and it was okay then. Luckily wasn't serious as I thought. I think my digestion was that good like last time.

Another glimpse of my favourite cat.

Pictures on my Birthday

12 April 2007 - Surprised Birthday Celebration from Ex-colleagues and Irene
It’s kind of late to post on how my birthday celebration was. While I was waiting for Riza to hand over the pictures taken from the DSLR, I’d just hold on with the post. Heck it, just post some of the pictures that I had here.

I would like to big thanks to all my ex-colleagues and Irene for the surprise birthday celebration. It was all well planned which I got punk’d, not with humiliation but it was totally out of my expectation.

Every year of my birthday, there nothing special to celebration which it likes an usual day. Except last year I had a drunken birthday at karaoke. Other than that with usual birthday cake and everyone started to sing the birthday song. My family doesn’t celebrate as it’s not the custom.

But this year was different. I’d expected there nothing to celebrate but move on with a usual day. On my birthday in the office, none of my new colleagues know. Then I got a birthday card from the HR Department which it likes a formal card represented by the company that my colleagues weren’t aware. I was doing my usual works in the office. Even my ex-colleagues never wish me. Like they were don’t know my birthday. So sad.

It started with Yvonne, my ex-colleague has suggested to me that one of the day in that week, she will fetch me to visit her new home at Ampang after work. I told her its fine to see her new home. She even asked me whether I would ask Irene to come along to see her new home. I’d called Irene and invite her along and we planned to see her new home on my birthday which seem I have nothing much to do during my day.

On my birthday, April 12, Yvonne fetched me from my office to home. I took my bath and got changed with casual clothes. I was informed that she might need my help to shift some stuff to her new home. Then Yvonne came to fetch me and Irene. While waiting for Irene to come down from her condo, Yvonne called up her husband who was in the new home to wait. Then when Irene got into the car, she’d requested to drop by a place to get something from a friend who came back from foreign country (I forgotten). Irene has asked me whether want to meet her friend who is mixed races and quite charming but way too young for me. I didn’t care but to get to know more friends. I told Irene I want to meet her friend.

Once we reached the place, I saw Jeffery’s car was parked there. I’d told Yvonne of Jeffery’s car was there. They were ignored me. I didn’t suspect anything but curious to know what Jeffery was doing at such classy wine restaurant. There, they were bunch of people sitting at the long table and yelled ‘Surprise!’ It was very first time someone has thrown me a surprise celebration and thanks to them who came!

Not to forget, thanks to those who left SMSes, emails and wishes. Really love you guys who attended the surprise party.




14 April 2007 - Belated Birthday celebration with ex-collegemates and friends
Thanks to Castina and Siki for the dinner treats. Thanks to Jay for singing out loud the birthday song in the public. Thanks to everyone who came for the yam cha session cum mini belated birthday celebration. Thanks to Kon Ngun for the bills that night and also fetching me home and Irene too.

It was a great night to hang out with a bunch of Foundation Year in college. Really miss the old days. :)

New Job, New Scopes

I've been busy lately. Therefore I've been working late nowadays.

Working at Section 13 where it’s totally packed with cars at the entire of the roadside and the jammed at the round-about that I got to get up early to go to work and leave late to avoid the jam. It likes more than 10 hours I got to spend my weekdays in the workplace. Pretty tired at the beginning but getting use to it.

What I have done in previous weeks ago? I have watched some movies like 300, Mr. Bean’s Holiday, Stomp The Yard, The Reaping…
Just last week, I’ve got to watch free movie and got some free tickets. I’d called Irene to bring her friends to watch along. Here we are; watched ‘Catch and Release’ acted by Jennifer Garner. The movie was nothing much interesting though you can’t see much of Jennifer Garner’s action acts in the movie. This movie is about romance comedy genre that talking about the complication of relationship. Anyhow, here is the group picture:

Catch and Release Movie – 4 April 2007



Sometime working in this new company might stress out my mind which I do not know how to definite ‘stress’ was. But sometimes we get to involve in writers’ assignment on test and trial stuff. Last Friday I was assigned to get the hair trial treatment. It was ‘Deep Repair Treatment for Very Dry or Damaged Hair’. I have had done perming and hair colored last year and I’ve never get any treatment to my hair until now. The treatment took about 1 hour plus with 6 steps of procedure. And I look like this:

I looked totally different with this kind of hair styling. Look weird, don’t you think?

Monday, I was assigned to help a writer to take some snapshot with my Digicam of some places at Plaza Damas and Damansara Heights. I spotted some interesting and nice walls which I’d asked the writer to take some pictures. She was sporting enough to take of my pictures and I took some of hers too.

9 April 2007


Then later that night, hanging out in Midvalley and took some pictures with the huge wallpaper at the entrance with Irene and her friends.




And yesterday, again, assigned to help the writer to take a profile picture of a doctor at Jalan Sultan Ismail. While waiting in the clinic, I took some pictures. Here what I wanted to do and asked her to take the picture:


Guess its that all for now, folks!
