My Birthday

My birthday was last Saturday. Review later as I'm in the rush to go airport to hanoi!!! :)

Early Birthday

Today my bunch of colleagues celebrating my birthday a day earlier. They brought me to nearest to our office area for japanese foods. It was delicious and fulled. They bought me a shirt from Nike. I'm so in love with the shirt though I'm already gained weight that out of their expectation with the size that might not fit me. But luckily, still I need to lose some weight to look much better. Later they bought me a cake to sing to their loudest a happy birthday song. I given a short speech to thanks for all these; lunch treats, pressie and a cake.

It was then everyone was rushing for their dateline, so it was a bit slow but I am happy. Here are some pictures:


Thanks to everyone; Kew, weilee, Cj, Amber, Ker-hsin, Michele, Azzura, Jolynn, Merina, Juliana, Jaclyn, Sereena, Loshini, Aizura, Sharmini, Naza... and whoever that I left out your name (you know who you are) cause I do not know who is sharing the gift. :)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Another Random Pictures

Those two pictures were taken from my handphone. Pretty nice.

This shot was taken when my fatty-cat was sleeping next to me while I was watching tv at the couch. I love this...



This one was taken after when my thumb accidentally smashed by the car's door. Ugly.

Random Picture

Finally I got this picture from my colleague, CJ. She took it from her handphone. This picture was taken last year, yah, LAST YEAR! It taken at during one of my colleague's house warming potluck party in the noon. :)

Fish Theraphy

This post is gonna be like an online free advertorial. But never mind. I was given the chance to pay a visit with my writer as part to take some snapshots for her column.

We went to Garra Rufa Rish Theraphy in Bangsar. They have a pleasant place to have the fishes waiting for their victims to be eaten of the dead skin cells. Hahaa. Maybe its pleasant and quiet place cause we went there on Monday morning, that's why not many people to be eaten by the tiny fishes.

The fishes to be 'proclaimed' occur in the river basins of the Northern and Central Middle East. The owner had imported five thousands fishes to the shop and if I'm not mistaken each fish costs RM25-RM30 (commented by Garra itself that actually cost RM40-50 depending on season). It saying that the fishes consume dead areas of the skin and they are harmless small little creature that might ticklish at first once you dip your feet in.

We need to wash our feet clean before dip into the pond. In a way to be hygienics to the fishes once we put our unexfoliation feet. When I put mine, I was a bit like short-electrocute. No worry. I am not dead yet. Just a bit of sudden shock when the fishes gathered to taste my dead skins. Heeheee. They vacuum all over my feet even at the between toes. They must be very hungry or I should put this as they are 'hadrworking'. :)

It was fun but my feet were numb. Guess I must be wearing my tight jeans cos need to roll up to my knee.
Advise: Please wear something comfy yet loose pants.

Need a try? Just RM38 for half an hour session. RM72 for an hour.
If you need a companion, let me know as I can join the crowd. :)

Here is the glimpse that I took a picture and a video of my big feet:

Day trip to Genting

OMG!!!
Almost a month that I didn't update my blog. Though I did went somewhere or shoot something but I can't find the time to post them.

On 20th March 2008 - I went up to Genting for a day trip with Castina and Siki. We traveled by bus at early in the morning and came back to KL in the evening at around 6pm, I guess. Nothing much we did as we walked most of the time. We didn't went to the theme park to play those thrilling games as they 'proclaimed' that they are 'old' to get thrilled. I wish to play but none of them, ended up walk all the time. From First World to Hotel Genting to here and there. But then it was a great day to chill out from the city. I was surprised that not many people (packed) during the public holiday but in casino were packed with those tourists from China. And here you go, the pictures:







Fish theraphy coming up next! :)

Birthdays and weddings

Been away from updating. Last week was a rush for dateline of the magazine.

Being busy with work doesn't mean we couldn't get time for celebration. It was my colleague; writer, Ker-hsin's birthday last Thursday. My editor thought of giving her a surprise outing but instead we went for dinner and movie. Five of us went which includ our intern-staff, PeikSee. We watched Martian's Child. It was a good story to most mums out there as the story about a boy being neglected from life as an orphan. Michele, another writer baked some cupcakes for her birthday and they were delicious home-baked chocolate cupcakes!!! 5 stars rating for that cupcakes! :) After the movie which finished about past 9pm, we headed to have some desert like McD Flurry ice-cream. Then I suggested to take some pictures of all of us.




Last Friday night I followed my ex-collegemate, Castina and her brother back to their hometown at Batu Pahat. We got invite to attend one of our ex-collegemate, Szee Khi's wedding. So I decided to take leave on the next Monday to have a getaway from bustling city/work. It was totally a peaceful trip though it was boring most of the time. FYI: this time I missed my voting.
Early Saturday morning I followed Castina for her voting. Then we went for her car to be serviced. While waiting we went for breakfast at nearby warung for nasi lemak. After finished with the car being serviced, we headed to her mum's kopitiam to help her clean the black chickens. Her mum's kopi-O drink was good that I couldn't taste better in KL. Later we went for shopping.




On Sunday morning, we went to the town for praying at the oldest temple in Batu Pahat. Then in the afternoon, we get to prepare for attending the wedding lunch. The lunch was tasty because most of the dishes were different served from KL.





In the night, we went for 'cari-makan'/for foods. I told Castina to bring me to eat that something different from KL that we hardly could eat. We eat desserts. We ate roti planta. Then we went to their famous spot of nightlife at the fountain. It was a memorable day to build the fountain on special occassion of their anniversary (dunno whether it 100th... hmmm).


During the stay at Castina's house, she showed me her photo album of her childhood pictures and collegetime. There's a picture that I spotted which I couldn't recall when it was taken. It was pretty long time where Castina told me we went for photography assignment along with the lecturer at the Lake Gardens. :) Can you spot me?

Really thankful to Castina and her family for the hospitality stay at their house especially to her mum! :)


On 11th March - Ken's birthday. Type less here but let the pictures speak itself. But one thing for sure, he was totally half drunk which showed the dark side of him... scary but humorous and entertaining. LOL.



On 15th-16th March - Anne's wedding. She is my ex-collegemate, yah, another collegemate's wedding.
In the morning, me, Zoyee and Coco was part of her chee-muis during the ceremony. There nothing much to shoot that time cos the Groom's heng-tais were sober and not sporting, kinda quiet. On Sunday nite itself, it was crowded. The foods were ok but slow to be served. I'd just wish Anne and her hubby happily married and may the happiness bloom their new chapter of life, always.





Seem most of the friends were married or getting married or having their new born child or got children. I AM SO LAID BACK...

???

I can't think of any title for this post. I'm out of idea. Inside my brain spreaded with fungus. I'd really want to be like 'Sleeping Beauty', yah I know though I'm not that beauty but a fat one.

Heck, another non sense introductory.

It've been week that I didn't get to update the blog. I was really busy with tight schedules, which is usual with work. But now I'm back on track but depend on what obstacles might come.

I am over tired. While I was typing this my eyes were lumpy and keep on shutting. FYI, I'm still in the office at this hour.

Just want to load some pictures here:

1.03.08 (Saturday) I went for a small gathering with ex-collegemates as one of the lady is getting married. She was giving out her invitation card while we all had dinner at Queenpark for Bah-Kut-Teh. Just 4 of us had ate so much. Need to thank to Adam.

2.03.08 (Sunday) Irene, Jason and I went to Ashley & Vikram's house for their baby boy, Logan's 1-year-old birthday mini party. The party was just among their families. We had steamboat with lot of foods to be cooked. A hand-made birthday butter cake by Vikram's sis-in-law for Logan. The whole night was eating and eating. Logan was so cute. Do you think Logan look like his mum or dad? He still can't call his dad 'ah-bah' (in tamil). He only know to say 'apple'. :)
