2010 wrap up

2010 hasn't been a smooth year. Too many changes, too many things to adapt to. I shall roughly summarize big events to wrap up this year.

1. Grandma passed away. Even until half a year later I still cried so much every time I think of her. Now when I think of her my eyes will still get wet. And whenever I go back to KT I feel a strong emptiness because whenever I go back I would visit her almost everyday, but now, she's not here anymore....

2. Suffer from esophagitis due to gastric influx from having late and heavy dinner (like about 9 something pm) and no food (or even milo) between lunch time and dinner even though I felt painful from being too hungry.

3. Join a few runs: Putrajaya Night Marathon, Terry Fox Run, Oral Cancer Awareness walkathon, Penang Bridge Marathon

4. Graduated from my last Korean language course (elementary level) and stopped the classes

5. Joined and left yoga class (the time slots don't fit my schedule).

6. Successfully fundraised RM500 through Standard Chartered Marathon to National Cancer Society (but was admitted to hospital due to a weird dengue-like virus fever for a week and missed the run)

7. Left Vivantis and joined Carif

8. Admitted to hospital due to a weird dengue-like virus fever for a week and then had hemorrhage in my eyeballs which leads to floater-like structures, went to see eye specialist but caused me more serious hemorrhage. Luckily after a week half of the floaters were gone, left with some floaters for me to deal with everyday now.


I just realized this year I took too many new things and dropped to many that I find it hard to adapt to my new life. In the end I gave up a lot of things to let the pace of my life slow down. This year is a not satisfying year for me. No apparent achievement at work and outside work.


If I am to summarize the 2010 resolutions (copy out from previous blog post and revising them carefully now)

1. To save more money so that I can go travel overseas
-not achieved

2. To go back hometown more often. I think my parents miss me lotz and I definitely need to spare more time for my family as my 2009 didn't really had time for them.
-partly achieved (went back hometown in Jan, Feb, June, Aug, Dec), don't have the record from 2009, so I dunno whether I go back more often or not.

3. A continuation from last year resolution - to do aerobic exercises e.g swimming, trekking or jogging, once every week
-Not achieved. I think average of once every month got la.. lol

4. Learn something new (like rock climbing, first aid, more Korean class?)

-Learned yoga but gave up because no suitable time.

Antistress kit

I had been hybernating in many many things since this June. Zero trekking, zero blogging and then followed by zero exercising, not even yoga and I count the one and only swimming session as a leisure, not exercising.

I don't know what had I become lately. It's so not me! I totally transformed from someone who do regular blogging and someone who had so much passion about trekking, to someone who can live without them. I don't even know who I am now.

But, right inside, I feel contented with what I had achieved so far from July till now. I've learned a lot from my new job. Gained more insights about this cancer research thing. Have higher confidence about myself. Frown more. Worry more. Become a not so happy-go-lucky person I used to be. Now think about it, I haven't been really cheerful since the day I took my job. I've pushed myself too hard.

Everyone in the lab ask me how am I. Maybe my face tells everyone I'm not ok.

What in my brain is Keep up! Keep up! Don't lose track! You've always wanted to work in this field. Now you've came this far, you can't ruin it with your own hands. You have to do whatever you can to make yourself excel in this field. You don't want to regret in the future right?

So, when I started the new job in July. I started to read journals at home. But because I was really stressed out, the words just danced around I couldn't catch a word. My brain was frozen. I managed to read some, but I found myself absorbing more info from journals when at work. Sometimes not even effective during work time. I quit yoga because I was so stressed I didn't feel like walking out of my room, left alone driving 20 minutes (45 minutes if there's a traffic jam) to the yoga centre.

And in August. I basically just sat in my room, being stressed, but most of the time staring at the Facebook homepage, doing nothing. Or sometimes wasting my nights away watching Korean drama when I knew there's a pile of journals waiting for me to read.

In September, I feel I'm more settled down. My frown is still here. But I feel myself being more capable to handle it. I'm catching the suitable pace for myself. Although not as steady, sometimes still wobbly, but I'm getting the pace. Some time in November I guess I will be alright.

My supervisor kept asking me how am I coping with the work. Every time all I could say was "I need to keep reading to make myself keep up" and she always gave me that nod which gave me the impression of her being skeptical with my interest in this job and my capability in my job. Which therefore made me yearn to do this really really well. I want to show people that I can do it, really really well. Hence, the stress. Sigh.. And when stress governs my feeling, I can't absorb anything from journals, my mind got tangled up.

I like my job. I like the challenges coming to me. I like the anxiety when things when wrong and I like how we have to deal with the problems. But possibly the way I deal with things in my new job is still not matured yet, hence the skeptical look from my supervisor.

So much grumblings going on here. lol.. It had been piled up since July and I finally vented that out. =P


Ooo! Here's a kit which can relieve stress! lol

Kimchi jjigae crave again

To be frank, I don't like blogging now. Because Facebook has been substituting blogging. I got to post nice photos with captions explaining my feelings and thinking, why do I still need a blog right? What good about blog is that I can express more as compared with FB (Coz i dun post notes in FB), but what if I say I don't want to let people know in detail what I'm thinking? Hehe. Then there's no point in blogging, right?

Ah.. right.. There's one good thing about blog though. I can at least trace back easily what I had posted even back to the ancient years. FB can't do that. FB has all the new events overlapping on top of old events, and hence making it hard (Or impossible?) to search back the photo or article or wall post.

So actually, I wanna list down the Korean restaurants I wanna visit to test their kimchi jjigae and beef BBQ here so that it'll be easy for me to trace back and also I can share my opinions here with Korean food lovers out there, and vise versa, too.

According to the website I found, there are a few restaurants which are highly rated:

1. Bulgogi BBQ House, Kota Damansara, PJ
2. Daorae, USJ Taipan (Tried pork BBQ but it was too long ago, I forgot how it tastes already)
3. Seoul Garden, Bandar Utama
4. Daorae, Desa Sri Hartamas
5. Haeun Khan, Persiaran Barat PJ
6. Kung Jung, Jln Bukit Bintang
7. Dae Jang Gum Korean BBQ, Bandar Puteri Puchong
8. Gomone, Ampang
9. Seoul Korea, Taman Danao Desa (Tried BBQ pork and beef, and kimchi jjigae. Kimchi jjigae was disappointing, BBQ was so-so. But I love the fried peanut with sugar banchan!! =D)

According to recommendation from ajussi (my Korean language classmate who isn't a Korean, obviously):

1. Korea House, SS2
2. A Korean restaurant in Taipan which is not Daorae (Either Dae Jang Gum or Han Woo Ri)
3. A very Korean style Korean restaurant which serve a book of kimchi cabbage in Sri Hartamas I guess (need to ask Ajussi to confirm what's the name.. lol)


I think I'll start with Daorae @ Taipan first. Can't wait to eat kimchi jjigae again!!

Fasten it

Life is too busy and too full of colours until I dun have time to jot them down one by one. For example, preparation of IW. I'm very involved in the camp team! ^^ At first was kinda reluctant to be responsible in so many things one. But after really put my hands in the planning and stuff along with Vincent, it gave a sense of satisfaction =)

And then now also involved in Nuke Off. We are looking for 10K ppl to become fan of the FB page to proof to our government that we don't want nuclear plant in our beloved country. Please support yea! =)

And then gathering with Korean classmates. And gathering with Raleigh people almost at least twice a week. Having a night to myself is almost impossible. But I like this life. Coz I feel very dynamic and energetic when I do all these! Better than staying at home staring at FB wasting my life.. =)

-

Okay. Actually the main purpose of blogging today is to talk about what I saw just now in the afternoon.

When I finished washing the cooking utensils and pots with Raleigh ppl at Bukit Jalil, I drove back home. Then at the Puchong-Bukit Jalil road, I saw right in front of my eyes a motorcycle accelerated onto a car's back! And the motor bounced up in the air. So were the motorist and his female partner! And then there were cars emergency braked and produced lots of smoke. It was a mess in front.

So I slowed down and eventually stopped by the roadside since the motor and motorist and the lady were lying on the middle of the road. And people started to came down from the car to help move them away to clear the traffic. So, before the traffic was cleared, I stopped right beside the road, staring at the incident on my right side, with shocked and pale face. I can feel that my face was pale coz I felt dizzy when I saw the blood flushing out from the motorist head. I got blood and wounds phobia... I think I was too dizzy to even drive.

The lady lay head down over the motorist's body, unconscious. The motorist was conscious with half-opened eyes but his head was covered with blood. >.< Even thinking about it makes me dizzy now... With the help of 2 good Samaritans, the cars started to move slowly away from the incident. So I followed, didn't dare to look at the wounded when passed by them.

And then all the way from that incident till my house, I drove 50 km/hr. My legs felt feeble, head still a bit dizzy. Urgh... This is the first accident that happened right in front of my eyes. Last time I only saw crashed cars or body lying beside the road waiting for aid. But this time, I saw it happen right there, right then.

That was really really haunting..

Moral of the story, do not speed. And be sure secure your helmet when you ride a motorcycle. I dun remember whether the motorist got wear helmet or not la.. But according to what I saw (head covered with blood and all) I think it's either he didn't wear helmet or he didn't fasten the belt.

So all motorist out there! That belt can save your life! Fasten it!

Reviving my blog..

Whoa.. I almost forget I have a blog!

OK la.. I'm back!

Just came back from my 5th yoga class. At first I was really reluctant to register for the class. Coz I think the class will bore me. I registered because can't stand my mum nag me almost everyday about how yoga can benefit me. So I gave up.. lol. Summore I wanna change my body posture. I feel that my posture is starting to get worse. I looked like gorilla when I walk and stand.. lol..



The yoga poses are too hard for me. I was thinking of giving up on yoga after having strained my body to do the poses during my 3rd class. But, after 4th class I started to notice my standing posture is better now. More straighten up. =) Now I think yoga is worth the hard work and pain. Now I kinda like it already. And the poses have became interesting challenges which makes me feel adrenalin pumping when I visualize myself achieving them.

Wish my postures will be all straighten up after yoga. =)

Last weekend went to Pisang Fall. It was Raleigh May Meeting!

The trek was easy and fun trek. Easy coz no uphill at all. Fun is because lots of stream crossing and walking in streams. And the streams are easy streams. Ankle deep most of the time. =)


Pisang fall got very limited falls. Only two.. =.=


Having fun watching people kena tortured. lol..


Me and June


Cooking with Vincent, the Mr President


Me and Ange when going towards the fall. See, the stream is really calm and only ankle deep. Wanted to race with Christal in the trek one.. haha.. but didn't.

-

Just came back from steamboat at Yuen @ Bdr Sunway with the girls because Steven and his fiance came Malaysia. Steven has to come Malaysia every 3-4 months, if not he will feel something in his life is not right. Hahaha.. He loves Malaysia too much already. =P

As usual, the procedure is eat + chitchat + gossiping about all the lecturers in uni last time + talking about career future + Malaysia and Indonesia market nowadays.. Whoa.. Very deep conversation, but I like to listen to this kind of informative chats. =)

-

Yesterday someone say I look like kampung girl when he looked through my long hair photos in FB. =.=

Maybe I should stick to my short hair already. Aunt says short hair suits me. ^^ She say I look more energetic with short hair.

Short hair nice also. No need to really maintain it. No need to care whether I need to tie it up, where did I put the hairband, whether it's too kembang during hot and humid weather and no need to wait too long for it to dry after shower.. etc etc.. I'm loving it! =)

-

Next Sunday Ekiden race already. Die. I not yet train lo.. Die Die Die..

Kimchi Jjigae crave not fulfilled

Got bitten by tiny creatures called chiggers from the forest.. Got around 10-ish of them. Ewww. I've killed them all already. But the chemical they release to dissolve my skin tissue (they suck the dissolved skin tissues as food) makes me feel so itchy!! According to the internet source, the itch will vanish after 2-3 days. Let's hope it will be okay by tomorrow or the day after. >.<"

Hmm.. My bites not so serious la.. No red spots.. Just a black dot only. =.=

Next time I'm gonna spray lotsa insect repellent when I'm in jungle. ><

-

Just now when at work the fire exploded in front of my eyes. My face can even feel the heat. It was that close! I was totally shocked and watched the Bunsen burner burn for few seconds, stunned. Then only suddenly realized if the fire spread to the gas cylinder bigger explosion would occur.

Being stupid, I blew the fire off. =.=" And being even more stupid, I didn't remove the hose from the cylinder and didn't turn off the knob at the cylinder. So, the gas continued flowing out. Luckily I didn't faint. And lucky no one was injured.

-

Today I had dinner at a Korean restaurant, Daorae, at Sri Petaling with Chung Ming Oppa (I call him oppa is because there isn't anyone who can let me call oppa here.. hehehe..). He just came back from NZ. Since I feel like eating kimchi jjigae, might as well ask him to go along with me, shun bian can meet him. =)

The food was a huge disappointment. Why? First of all, I've been craving for kimchi jjigae since 2 days ago. And then when I know I'm going to eat Korean food tonight I started to smell the kimchi jjigae in the air since 3pm at work. But when I took the first sip. Spiciness = obso, kimchi taste = obso. It was sweet, but not spicy at all! This is the first time I eat kimchi jjigae I dun even need to drink water at all! Really disappointed.


(Half-eaten only took this pic.. sorry for the mess)

And then the deokboggi (Rice cake) was also a disappointment. The sauce was tasteless. Again, it's not spicy! What's wrong with their Korean food? Why all not spicy one? Are they trying to adjust the level to those of Malaysians? Even I, someone who can't really eat spicy food, can drink the kimchi jjigae soup without aid of water, there's really something wrong with the spiciness lo. Sigh... Really disappointed.


(This is taken when both of us duwan to take in the deokboggi anymore)

Refuse to give up on the soup yet, I asked the waiter to give me gojujang (chili paste) so that I can add it to the soup to add some spiciness to it. But when they gave me their claimed gojujang.. it tasted like soy bean paste. =.=" We then asked them whether they gave us duen jang. They showed us duen jang which is brown colour and they claimed that that gojujang is really gojujang.. The disappointment was doubled with the gojujang.. Sigh...

I will never ever go back to that shop anymore. Maybe the next one I will go Taipan Daorae try their kimchi jjigae. Maybe find some time after work go there alone. Keke..

Oh ya!! My Standard Chartered charity run had already successfully collected RM515 by now! Hahaha! So happy!



Which means I can participate in the run already! Thanks those who supported - Chung Shin, Zhuang, my uncle, Dr Omar, Hazel Lam, Vincent, Teng, my bro, David and Choo Peng. =)

Will go buy fabric paint and get a cloth. I will remember your names. =P

Last Sunday went to recce. So happy we found a trail! Yoohoo! And time flies fast because got the entertainment from Khee Leong keep "zat" me.. =.= I can't wait for IW to come! =)

And guess what? I love this picture I took.



I like the angle! =D

超开心!

今天又想用华文写部落格。嘻嘻...

今天好开心啊! 7点30 分随阿姨，表妹和表姐去学瑜伽。发觉瑜伽其实还蛮累人的，真爽! 哈哈... 我知道听起来很奇怪，但是我就是这样的怪人。我喜欢做突破自己体力的东西，爬山啊，游泳啊什么的，我喜欢它们是因为这两个运动都可以让我可以让肌肉有那种酸酸的感觉。平时如果没有爬山我就会去游泳，让手臂酸一酸。 =) 现在每个星期都有瑜伽了，也许再加一个有氧运动就perfect了! ^^ （想要了解什么是有氧运动，可以浏览这里-华文/英文... 我知道我部落很多有氧运动的东东了，but我今年的目标就是可以让自己做多一点有氧运动，而且本人也很喜欢有氧运动后肺容量变大的感觉，所以也顺便提一提。)

过后我跟Raleigh的朋友去recce一下露营地点。好久好久没有在森林里感受大自然了! 今天终于可以好好的感受一下。今天的心情真是超棒的! 好久没有拔粘在手或脚上的水蛭了，好久没有在瀑布玩水了，好久没有过河了，好久没有轻盈地在森林里快步行走了，好久... 好久... 现在被水蛭咬破的伤口隐隐发痒，但是这却让我好怀念这种感觉。哈哈.. 我知道我很变态一下啦，不过我真的真的很喜欢。没关系，水蛭咬过发痒的伤口三天后就会好了，就会不痒了。=) 所以现在痒一下还真爽的... 哈哈。等迟点不能忍受才喷止痒药，这止痒药超有效的说，GP用了也突然间不痒了，趁机介绍一下这个法宝:


懒惰拍我那一瓶Stingose。上网找了这张不错的图片供大家参考参考，各大药房都有的卖。

顺便用英语也介绍介绍一下(给那些看不懂华文的朋友).. This Stingose is damn good for leech bites itchiness! You can get it in any pharmacy in Malaysia. It can even be used for serious stings and bites like from bees, jellyfish and some other insects, just to ease the pain or itchiness. Further medication or hospitalization is needed if toxins are involved.

噢... 好累... 我要睡了。晚安! ^^

Feel like writing Chinese

读了敷米漿的部落格后突然有股冲劲想用华语写部落。

可是我最近都没什么新奇的东西可以部落。就忙生活嘛，每天做十到十二个小时的工，不算是最勤劳的员工但是我喜欢努力的自己。 ^^ 只要做好自己的本分就好。

马拉松的筹款反映非常热烈，现在我已经筹了RM325。还差RM175就达成目标了! =D 加油加油！

妈妈昨晚好像很担心我会被人拐掉。不用担心啦，就朋友出来吃晚餐罢了，没什么啦。我跟他已经不会擦出什么火花了，纯粹是单纯的朋友关系。我很喜欢这种感觉，这种有话就讲有屁就放的沟通方式。哈哈...


这个星期六我要开始学瑜伽了。阿姨说他们没有初学班。我只需要跟着做他们的动作就好，做不到也不用勉强。天啊！我阿姨已经学了几年了，我直接加入他们的班会不会有点高难度啊? 有一点担心身体柔软度不好会扭到腰。还真怕的说...

今天一个印度同事问我怎么不穿OL装去上班。啊其实呢，本小姐衣橱里的OL衣只有衬衫和西裤，那些比较华丽比较stylish的OL装就.... 其实本小姐的fashion sense 是几乎零的。除了T-shirt和牛仔裤我不会佩其他的衣服。所以我比较华丽的衣服都是整套的。所以如果要买穿美美出街的衣服，我都一律只买连身裙。哈哈... 这样就不用愁穿了会不会很lala,或者很aunty。最近好想买一些不同感觉的衣服。可是我一定买不下手。因为跟我的形象太格格不入了...

好像这件雪纺衣。天啊！我穿这件衣一定很奇怪耶... 这不是我的style.



还是这类型的比较适合我???



前几天我上网定购了这件（下图）。我只定购一件 (RM42 包邮寄费），因为我担心货不对版，到时捶胸揣足也没有用了。希望这件的质地不会让我失望啦...



期待着....

Donate to National Cancer Society so that I can run!

All the while I hate running, especially when I dun have iPod with me. Running with just my breathing sounds and footsteps is very very boring and devastating.

But now, I must announce that I finally find meaning in marathon running already!



I joined KL Standard Chartered Marathon 2010 "Run for a cause" category, where I will have to fundraise RM500 before 1st June. The small benefit for myself is the marathon fees of Rm55 will be waived if I can fundraise RM500. But most importantly the big benefit is that the donations are going to the National Cancer Society of Malaysia. I hope I make a good decision register for this category.

I had already donated RM50 to myself already. I treat this as a charity donation to National Cancer Society lo.. I had been eyeing this society for very long already. I always feel like contributing something to cancer patients. They are very cham one. My own cousin had been suffering from brain cancer since she was 9. She lived through pain until 27 years old only left us.

So 2 years ago I'd signed up as volunteer in their website. Now got chance to donate to them of course fast fast donate lo. This is more to donate to the society than to reach the goal of RM500.


If I cannot get RM500 to be donated to the Cancer Society, according to the website, it says:

"If a runner is unable to raise RM 500.00 by 1st June 2010, his/her entry as a charity runner will be cancelled, unless they pay the balance on their own. In case the runner chooses not to pay the balance,all funds raised thus far in this case will be submitted to the charity selected by him/her during signing. He/she can then choose to register as a public runner at the prevailing registration price, subject to availability."


WHAT?? o.O"

What they mean "entry as charity runner will be cancelled"? And "can choose to register as public runner SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY"?!!

What if the marathon is fully registered already, how? Means I cannot run if I fail to collect RM500!?!?! OMG... OMG.. OMG

SHIT.. I didn't digest this sentence properly until now!

Oh god! I shouldn't have register for this category..

Please help me everyone. I wanna run. =(


Please donate to help me run. *Sob*


This is my profile page in the marathon:

http://www.kl-marathon.com/Users/runner_profile/8094


Those who wanna donate, please make sure you click "next" after you've done the transaction yea. Coz the system telan my RM50 when I tried to donate to myself just because I didn't proceed to next and I closed the tab abruptly. In the end my bank account is RM100 less but the donation chart only shows RM50 donated. WTF!

So I wish everyone who donate won't get caught again like me. (Tomorrow I'm gonna call Standard Chartered to complain.. Sigh)



Update:

So happy!

Standard Chartered organizer called me on Saturday morning saying that they will look into the problem and ask me whether I want to refund the RM50 or want them to key in the RM50 in the profile page. Then I said I want them to key in to profile page (Coz Zhuang wanna donate RM50 to me).

That night when I online check my running profile page, the RM50 was finally in! So I got the correct amount RM100! Plus RM35 from Chung Shin today, now I got RM135 already! So happy! Still got RM365 more. =)

Super Duper Luper Zuper RANDOM!

I like this song! Heard it on radio over and over again and can't help fall in love with this song.

Fireflies by Owl City

Very fantasy-like. I can imagine millions of fireflies floating on grass lawn at night litting up the grass in the dark. And there's a dimly lit swing, a couple sitting there. Wind caressing their faces softly. And the stars above blinking with the fireflies. =) Nice right?

-

I'm not continuing my Korean class already. So sad.. But what to do. I have to save the money for other purposes already. Have to stop spending money on Korean language unless I hit a jackpot. lol! But if I hit jackpot the first thing I will do is not to get myself a Korean class though.

Hmm... If i hit a jackpot now I will go Korea. Second will be a Europe backpack trip. And then keep the rest. hehe..

Recently I dunno what I can write in my blog. Actually I got lots of things to blog about:

the swimming session with Christal and Luyi
the 'kidnap series' by some of the Raleigh comm.
the near-accident incident yesterday due to a reckless driver (not me! It's someone who doesn't see properly before change lane)
the newly bought Braun epilator (yeay!)
the pictures of the funny Adam and cutie Kexin I promised to post on the blog
the yoga class which I'm gonna join
the year end plan with the girls
the beach vacation plan with Zhuang
my new perfume!

And most importantly my kai-ma (kai-ma is godmother in Cantonese. But she's actually a goddess called 妈祖) say 2010 is a good year for me, although at first will have difficulties, but afterwards everything, literally everything from work, finance, health, family, relationships etc etc, will be brilliant! Hehe.. Not really kai-ma la.. just that Cheng Yee says I every year must go Tian Hou Gong see her and tilik nasib with her, she say the Goddess is like my kai-ma lo...

-

Wah.. Just read a bit about 妈祖 (or also known as 天妃、天后、天上圣母、娘妈). She was human. Her dad is a public servant (巡检官). She's a Hokkien. She's actually from a family of 5, the youngest daughter in family, very intelligent, lived by a sea, love to swim, love to do charity, love to save fishing boats, is a hero in her village, everyone ask for her advice when they got trouble. She died when she was 28 yrs old. After she died people still see her saving fishing boats in the sea. So, people started to call her 神女 or 龙女. Throughout the years people give her different names. That's why she got so many names. But I always forgot what she's called whenever I wanna talk about her and eventually will say "neh.. my kai-ma lo..."

I every year must go find her to 求签 one.. Because every time also very accurate. Hehe. And last year I was scolded by her in the 签. Really very accurate. I really did something silly. And she scolded before I did the mistake. After I did already only I understand what she mean.

Full house food and drinks cannot eat one..














I can never act sexy.. Coz I'm not..


Kexin got the potential.. Even Adam's palm faced up meaning he cannot resist Kexin's sexiness. Hehe....

Dirty disposable chopsticks

I watched one video about the hidden dangers of disposable chopsticks manufactured in China before, but I didn't really care last time maybe because I was too ignorant back then.

Today saw one link in Facebook about a China news how disposable chopsticks are treated in China Hunan and Jiangxi before packaged. The process shocked me! (The video cannot be embedded here. So I find other related videos to embed here lo...)





They use many chemicals, which are toxic, to bleach and sterilize the chopsticks:

1. Treat the chopsticks in sulphur for 2 days to ensure no fungus will grow in the chopsticks. This eventually leads to deposition of sulfur dioxide in chopsticks. Sulfur dioxide, at high concentrations, reacts with moisture to form sulfurous acid which in sufficient quantities may harm the lungs, eyes or other tissues.

2. Dried in a charcoal room. From time to time the workers will take off their shoes and step onto the chopsticks to move the chopsticks so that they can dry faster.

3. Mix the chopsticks with paraffin wax which makes the chopsticks surface look clean and shiny.

4. Chopsticks which has fungal grow despite the sulfur treatment is further treated with hydrogen peroxide which kills fungus and also bleach the chopstick.


*I couldn't find health risks caused by paraffin wax and hydrogen peroxide.


Scary right? Next time bring your own chopsticks.

And be green.

화이팅!

월요일에 한국어 시험이 있어요. 저는 지금 공부해야 해요.

내일 아침 일찍 잃어나야 해요. 동료하고 같이 Putrajaya에 hot air balloon을 보러 갈 거예요. 정말 기다려요! 그래서 내일 아침에 공부하지 못해요. 그러니까 저는 이제 공부해야 해요.

화이팅!!



Note: Whoa! This is my first Korean post. *Clap clap* Next time I should push myself to write more in Korean to practice my Korean writings =) And about speaking... Hmm.. I still have to find a a Korean to practice my speaking. Nobody can practice with me~~ Sob....

16 hours overnight incubation

So tired this week! I have been finishing work 8 something pm everyday. Which means 12 hours work everyday! And I swear I didn't take any 5 minutes off to rest, at all! (Except the less than 1 hour lunch time and some toilet time which was also in a rush)

And it's Friday night now! I'm gonna have a 16 hours overnight incubation for myself to compensate back my deprived sleep and sore body. Which will be until 3pm the next day. I wish I won't wake up at 7.30am tomorrow morning. (I always wake up automatically at 7.30am one, weekend or weekdays)

-

Actually for quite a period of time (6 months maybe?) a boy had been sitting in my heart. But now that I've gave up on him only I found that my life is getting so much more easier and I like this kind of feeling. No longer being carried away by the boy.

This feels like sipping on a good white coffee which makes me unable to resist from letting out a relief



"Ah~~ She fook sai~~"

-

Ok. Go to sleep dee. Hopefully I'll wake up at 3pm!! =P

Blissful weekend =)

Last weekend had been blissful. =)

Went for monthly meet but turned out Kuna's mum was admitted to hospital. So the first aid class was canceled. We then went to have dimsum at Jalan Ipoh while having a short meeting about updates of Raleigh. Wasn't really awake by then (summore me need time to warm up to break the ice to the outer world one.. lol), so most of the time I was dreaming during the meeting. Muahaha..

Then some of us went to kayak after the meeting at Taman Titiwangsa.

(Tanning themselves under the noon sun)

And I went to fly kite beside the lake they kayak with Pipo and June.



Then after kayaking, they had their kayak team photos.



And then we take group photos of the kayak and the kite. =)





(I like the way I look here. Muahaha.. looks like Ko Mi Nam in the Korean drama, I mean the hair looks like her. =P)

Kayaking is a very tiring game. I'd have to dry yourself under the sun and after kayaking you have to pour the water out of the kayak and carry them back to the storeroom. They are damn heavy wei!





Have to rest the hand from time to time to carry them back to the storeroom which is about 200m from the lake.

And then I had fun joining the nonsense talk in Zed's car. =)

Then Sunday I went to sing K with Kexin, Adam and Jia Yaw. Kexin came back from holiday from Japan. Miss her so much! But not as much as Adam la. Adam missed her so much that he asked me twice to arrange a meet up with Kexin. lol. So there we were, in Redbox singing Bad Romance by Lady Gaga and only remembered the "Rawr Rawr Oh la la" part. lol. We had lots of laughter thanks to joker Adam.

But Redbox was really tricky. They only let us sang for 2 hours which dampened our moods a lot! So we continued chatting about everything at Full House. Again we were dampened by the very yucky drinks. They said my mango milk shake tasted the worst which resembles the smell of toilet fragrance. The last time I went Full House I had bad experience with the food also. So, if you all wanna have good food DO NOT go Full House!! But the good about Full House is that the interior is so beautiful and we can take picture with the glasses displayed there. (Will put up the pictures as soon as Kexin upload it in FB, if she does).

After Jia Yaw left, 3 of us went to take picture with the crazy bar-like glasses, some shades, some ties and Adam with a bra-tube in front of his chest. Muahaha. Adam was very attractive that day. Two waitresses blushed when they saw him. One when ordering the food and one when taking photos of him wearing the bra-tube. Then 3 of us squeezed into the changing room and had loads of crazy photos like Adam showing his muscle, us acting like models. lol... All those tiny little crazy things made us burst us into laughter. =) We had fun in there. (Awww.. I really wish I can see how the photos look like. hehe..)

I love those crazy moments.

Then afterwards I went Zhuang's house to give tuition. After tuition and dinner, we chatted and took funny photos, again. But this time was by my part time photographer cousin. And there I got my Bruise Lee look photographed and photoshoped by him. Thanks so much JC! I love this photo so much!


I'm a very lousy actress lo. Kept rolling on the ground laughing when Zhuang and Mei started laughing at my facial expression. This is like the 3rd or 4th take. =P

I was supposed to imitate Bruce Lee when he says "ATTA!!"

After that Zhuang reminded me that my T-shirt says "Explain to me AGAIN why I need a boyfriend". Plus that expression on my face, it looks like I'm extremely fed up with people asking me "Do you have a bf yet? Why still not yet have bf? Get one la..." (especially during CNY....). So the photo says "ATTA!!~~ Ask me again and you'll be ATTA-ed!" lol... Kidding.

Me like this weekend!

I attach one song here la. Say Hey (I Love You) by Michael Franti. Very relaxing song! =) I like this genre. Go check out the MV in Youtube, it's very simple and cute. =)
