My faulty but dragging dead ~ Zombie

I must apologise to someone who was very concerned of my safety since I worked overnight in the office for rushing the production deadline.

Sorry Uncle Mike, Darren, Chin Huat, 3rd Bro, Mum and grandma who were worried about me for not being at home last Friday. Instead I got home last Saturday night. Too much of works need to be done until now, finally it has finished. Maybe tonight I can sleep in peaceful dreams after all the hardworks.

Actually today I did the same thing. I stayed overnight with other colleagues since yesterday til now. Never sleep. But today I has informed my family about not going home. :)

Working in a publishing is like life as in mentrual pain which occurs once a month. Deadline before the end of the month which last for 1 week or ever more. Sigh. guess my company short of staffs.

Anyhow, the works had finished. Alas.

Revise: Celebration

On 20th January 2006 I posted on 'Luncheon with Colleagues - 'Lou-Yee-Sang' was just only in photos. I didn't have the time to write in detail cause I was so damn busy with works on deadline. Now I would like to add and amend.

It was planned to have amongst colleagues 'Luncheon-Yee-Sang' together. Wanted to have most of them but ended up 6 of us. We ate at New Paris Restaurant, SS2 Petaling Jaya. We called few dishes as shown in the pictures; 'Yee-Sang', Steam Fish with chili-asam sauce, Fried 'Lala's', Vege with Beancurd sauce, Sesame sweet soya sauce Chicken and Famous Fried To-Fu with mince of meats.

The foods were delicious and made our lunch fulled with appetite. The 'Yee-Sang' only cost RM28 and each of us only paid less than RM20. Good value with tasty foods. :)

Let's talk about the preparation of Chinese New Year. On last Friday I was so busy at works which I need to finish the magazine before send to prints. Time was running fast and tight that I had to work overtime at around 8 something in the night itself. Alas.

The next day, I was supposingly to help mum to clean up the house, yah, I know, it was last minute job. Instead my mum asked me to help grandma to cook the dishes for the reunion dinner. I helped grandma to cook Sweet Sour Fried Tiger Prawns, Steam Whole Chickenn, Fried Whole Chicken (which was last minute change the menu that we supposingy bake the chicken in oven but it spoilt), Mixed Pork Soup and vegetables. Grandma just sit there in the kitchen and pointed which and which to cook, just like my si-fu. Hee.

After finished the cooking in entire that afternoon, I helped mum to clean the floor of the house in the late evening. Every year we need to wash and clean the floor. My mum washed and I wiped. Once finished, mum and me wanted to go for last minute shopping at Parkson, OUG. I haven't buy any new clothes for new year and mum wanted to buy some groceries. We both shopped in a different department until the last drop of the mall closed. I managed to buy 2 new shirts.

First day of the Lunar New Year, I got up at around 10 something to get prepare with new clothes. Pay respect to grandma and mum with the wishes and get angpows. Hee. Then we waited my uncles to come for a vegetarian luncheon in KL. First day of Chinese New Year in every year got to be abstain from meat. It is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives in chinese belief. No wonder every year my grandma wants to be vegetarian. After the lunch, we all headed to one of my uncle's house at Sri Kembangan to hang out. A few hour, Chin Huat's family went home and left of us were car pooling around Putrajaya. My uncle brought my grandma around that area. Tried to admire those garden and flowers around that my uncle who likes gardening so much. We got home in the late evening, pretty tiring.

The 2nd day, was Chin Huat's dad who treated us with Tim-sum for breakfast in KL too. Spent almost 2hours in the restaurant non-stop eating while chit-chatting. I didn't take any pictures of the activities I had that I lazy to take a prosumer camera along. Kinda bulky and risky to get any scratches on the review camera. :)

The rest of the days, I was just stayed in the house, watching TV, sleep and eat. Didn't go visiting which I was supposed to go that I last minute call off because of stomach-ache. Sorry Jenny & Joanne for letting you gals down. Planned to go Liang Ser & Chooi Lin's house on the 3rd day with them along. And also to Jenny's house on the 4th day. Didn't go. But I went to Jason's house on the last minute thoughts on 2nd day. Heehee. Jason, Jeffery, Michael and me were gamble for few rounds. Jason won some money where else 3 of us lost. At least I got the day to gamble. Chinese New Year is the time to gamble with friends which is only happen once a year.

Yesterday was the 8th day where the Hokkien people pray to 'Tian Kong', the God of Heaven and my family was one of them. Mum went to buy the praying stuffs and we prepared before the midnight. The prayer started at midnight until 1something in the morning. Here are the some of the snapshots:



This time Chinese New Year was not as miserable as last year. Everytime I think about Chinese New Year is something do to the house where we got to spring cleaning with all the hassle which I doesn't like to do the chores. Pardon me, I admit I am a lazy person in the house which according with the moods. Heehee.

But this time is getting better for not being so down or unhappy about the celebration but acted normal in a living. I would like to thanks to those relatives, uncles and aunties who gave me angpows and I wish them a very good prosperous, healthy and wealthy life throughout the year. Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!

Memoirs of a Geisha--Mad TV

Thanks to my colleague who sent it to all of us in the office for a laughter of the day last week. :)

The 3rd Generation

Watched 'The 3rd Generation' at GSC Mid Valley yesterday night. The movie was boring and dragging but it didn't make Michael into sleep. That was weird. Maybe because he complained that the seat was not comfortable as in GSC 1Utama.


The movie is about the secret affair of Chan's 3rd son and the complexity of the forefathers to the current generation.

Let's talk about the director/producer of the movie - C.L.Hor, who was an advertising art director, won some awards on Malaysian Airlines, Telekom Malaysia and Benson & Hedges campaigns. He also began with his directing in MTV spots. He spent 4 years in Hong Kong in film industry and garnered awards for his works. Then he came back to Malaysia and began directing TV commercial spots and into this movie with imaginative visual styles.

So, imagine from an advertising art director to a film director with innovative composition visual styles of directing. I found it something similar with Wong Kar Wai, the director of '2046' and 'In The Mood of Love'. In their movies were the artistes talking less and in a slow mannered but more in the conceptual visual scenes like an art photograph.

As for the artistes, Nicholas Teo was charming in the movie and he done a great job in acting, not bad at all. For Carmen Soo, she was gorgeous. She looked amazingly in those costumes, the chinese traditional clothes. I didn't aware that she was in a cameo role in Jackie Chan's movie 'Gorgeous'. Astonishingly. And for Amber Chia, hmmm... I think she is better in those commercial prints. Her acting was not as good as for a beginner. She doesn't have the talent and she doesn't look good in the movie. It looks weird. I prefer her in the photos or prints which bring out the visual/idea.

In 'The 3rd Generation' movie showed the little notes/idioms/phrases that are meaning to the scenes if you do really understand. I found the little notes interesting that bring out into the real life. Too bad I can't remember much but they are meaningful.

Overall rating for this movie, I will give 2.5/5. Based on the conceptual visual/colours and the little notes. Storyline is not as good for the movie-goers.

Friday The Thirteen

It has been past 13days after the new year. My new year celebration was just a boring day where I went to look for Michael who was working at Great Eastern Mall on the eve of celebration itself. I left the house at around 9something, took the bus to KL Central to take a Putra LRT to Ampang Park Station. There were many people lined up to buy the tickets to take the train. Getting packed. I ordered McDonald meal for Michael as he was mumbling of being hungry like mad. I reached at Starbucks at around 10something and got a free drink of Green Tea Frappuccino Ice Bleneded (my all-time favourite drink). Surf the net by using his notebook all the night until their stall closed. Simple and bored celebration.

My life isn't the interesting but only with after work, got home, have dinner, watch tv and sleep. Its just like a recycle of a day. My life is such a pathetic that giving the impression of being deserted with no friends, no outing, no dating what-so-ever. I do have friends but they were far apart or even have their own activities with their loved one or their own friends.

Sometimes I tried to ease the sorrowness/loneliness with my little cat or just drop-dead sleep. It doesn't like the last time all the amazing journey with friends, family and loved one.


Something happened can change the circumstances. Unpredictable. Speechless. Alone. Unhappy.

My Grandma's New Pet

Introducing my grandma's new pet, a cat; a male cat (I guess). His name is Commone as they started to call him.

Yesterday I got home right after work and saw Uncle Mike and his wife dropped by at my house. As usual when my aunts or uncles come, guess they come to visit my grandma. Out of nowhere, I saw a cat in the cage meowed at the kitchen yard. He is such an adorable orangy with yellow eyes cat. I was wondering, how this cat could be in our house. I asked Uncle Mike, why he brought the cat over to our house. He told me that my grandma wanted a cat and he bought for her. Then I asked grandma why does she need a cat, and she said she wanted a cat to be pampered and also as a rat-catcher. Heeheee

Last time we do had a street cat came to our house as similar as Commone but went missing after a few months.

Grandma asked to me to buy a collar with a small little bell for him. So I bought him a nice little colorful collar. SO CUTE!



Commone has been meowing all the day cause he was in the cage all the times. My grandma scared that he will run away from our house as our house is not fully blocked by the doors. I told grandma to leave him freely so that he could make his small/big business in the garden. Instead my grandma wants to train him to urine/shit in the toilet. I wonder....how

Anyway, Commone is from SPCA as Uncle Mike brought him from there. I had doubts of this cat biodata. I do not know what kind of breed in this cat and there wasn't any particular about the cat.

One thing for sure, I do not know whether that cat is called 'Commone' or spell it correctly. It sounds funny.
