I have a dream

Suddenly this thing just came across my mind that it just can’t stop me from thinking. Well this is one of my wish or I should say hope. Going UK is like our Chen’s family tradition, Ku Ma was sent there for nursing and dad and his twin brother Tai Pak were also sent there for further studies. Since young, dad has been telling me to study harder so that I can go UK to study also. I was even sent to an international pre-school when I’m 4 years old. Unfortunately, I stopped after a year. Well I don’t know why but mum told me that dad got not enough money to pay for the fees and when I’m old enough to ask dad about it, he told me there was confusion when deciding whether to let me go for British course or American course so ended up not going for neither. All the while dad will talk about sending me to UK and during Chinese New Year when Ku Ma called from UK she will surely asked me when I am going to UK to study or to stay with her. After years when I finished my secondary school, dad was helping me to find college and every college he found must have something to do with UK, either they have their university in UK or the course is based on British education. Then I got into this Raffles Design Institute and dad is still mentioning whether I work first then save some pocket money for UK or he send me there and I find a part time job there in order to survive there, after I graduate from my advance diploma.

Now dad has never mention about UK anymore since I’ve graduated and Ku Ma too when she came back for CNY in February. Maybe because of them, I got this hope in myself. They’ve given up but not me. I have not figure out a plan yet till last week. I said to myself “I need to start saving money, no more clothes, no more shoes!” *sobs* and get an amount of money from mum and dad then I’ll get myself a one-way flight ticket to UK, get myself a cheapo room, work as a waitress for awhile while looking for a job that I want, be successful and come back to Malaysia or if I don’t, at least I need to earn big money to buy a house for mum. It doesn’t have to be a big one but I wanna give her a luxury life. Or maybe I’ll get a PR there and bring mum over.

When I told this to baby, he was quite upset. Well I did asked him to go with me *if I’m really going*, there’s so many Toni&Guys in UK and other well-known salons. But he’s going to open his own salon by next year so how can he go away with me. But I really want this to REALLY happen, I don’t care how long it takes I don’t care!

I love walking in the rain....

Well it’s my second week now. Maybe it’s just the first day of the week so I’m not that tired like last week. A little sleepy because I’m bored 'coz my ‘boss’ took half day MC. Sigh…how I wish I can go back home like her to sleep.

Lunch time I walked to KLCC to buy seaweed to eat. While on the way, there’s a putu mayam stall opposite the road, so I went to check it out and bought RM2 of putu mayam. It’s one ringgit for 3 pieces so I bought 2 packet, one for me and one for baby. It’s freaking hot this noon and now the sky is starting to get dark.

Since I’m doing the movie screening thing so I decided to checked out what movie to watch later this evening after work. Well I wanted to watch Escape of Huang Shi or Over Her Dead Body or maybe The Tattooist, too long didn't go dating with baby already.

Well last Friday I went to the Cres Total Treatment Spa launching after party at The Gardens. Something stupid happened before I manage to reach there. I don’t even wanna mention so let’s continue with the party. I’m late to the party. It’s at the bridge that links The Gardens and Midvalley. As usual, Dada ask me to bottoms-up the champagne that he’s holding when he sees me because I’m late.
Camellia was there to perform a few songs that me and dear missed it so much…We drank and we danced along with Camellia.

Party ends around 1230. They say wanna yum cha at Bangsar. We parked in front of Baskin Robins so we went in to get ice cream. Yummy…Something happened along the way to Frangipani so me and dear end up didn’t go and meet Jimmy and Dada. Later on we went for supper at the porridge shop. Baby and his brother came along and Hui San came and meets us too. Later on Dear went off to see his boo who’s staying nearby so he left us there. I forgot to take the pillow that I took from the party just now. It’s a door gift for celebs and its finish when I’m there even dear didn’t get it but Dada managed to get one for me. So we head home after supper 'coz I’m very tired already.

****after work****

As usual I came to Pavilion to fetch baby,it has become my daily routine already.I'm so smart just now.Fyi,there's nothing to do about smart tunnel,is just that I took the other road where Zouk is instead of the road in front of KLCC which I always use.But today it's f***ing jammed and still a lot of cars trying to cramp their cars into the Queue..all because of the Beijing Olympics Torch Relay thingy.And then this morning when I'm heading to work..Fuh!luckily I'm smarter than the so-called SMART tunnel.I read the signs and I took the alternative way 'coz the Smart tunnel was congested from before you enter the tunnel even before the tol counter where you pay!Lucky me...I saved the RM2 and time and I'm not late. :)

Ok,so let's get back to Pavilion.Once I reached,I went down to Mercato first to get myself a coke and a can of 100plus for baby 'coz his throat is not feeling well.Since last few day I was craving for coleslaw and I saw it here.It was stated RM1.80/100g,it's cheap so I give it a go.There's 2 different size of bowls,I thought the smaller one should be cheaper so I took it and started scooping the coleslaw,purple cabbage and some mushies.After that I gave it to the fella to weight and to my horror,it comes up to be RM5!!!I was thinking inside of me,that's why that fella looked so happy when I'm scooping so much.*tutt tutt tutt tutttttttttttt!!!*censored

I guess I'm not that smart after all.Nevermind.I've save the RM2 for this coleslaw that I'm craving for and no doubt I've finished it already before I start editing this post.Vege is good!
Yummy...

Work=Boredom??

So there goes my first week of work. As I mention before I was assigned to come out with Time Out’s reader’s profile. After a hard time scratching my head, to come out with few ideas on future events and luckily my ‘boss’ quite liked it. Then I need to pick 3 movies for movie screening and justify it. And that’s not all; I gotta come out with Expatriate Lifestyle reader’s profile and proposal for upcoming Expatriate Lifestyle anniversary event……..Nearly got myself sick but manage to pull it through. Wanted to take MC but I think it’s not a good idea to MC when I work not even a full week.

Well tomorrow I gotta rest the whole freaking day. Tonight got event at The Gardens some more, thanks to Dada and Jimmy. Might be going down to Zouk after that if I still can take it or else I’ll just go home and sleep.

ARGHHHHH!!!!! I’m so sleepy and tired!!!

I’m actually writing in the office now with Microsoft Word ‘coz I’m not allowed to do other stuff except doing things that related to work. And know what, I nearly got ‘catch’ for surfing Facebook. I’m actually quite bored here ‘coz everyone is busy busy busy than ever and I got out of idea to do my work ‘coz I can’t concentrate. How I wish I can walk here walk there rather than sit here with a blank mind, it’s rather less tired and sleepy compare to now even though they got this big-quite-comfortable chair and big spacious table. The worst thing is this stupid computer font is so damn HUGE! Everyone can see what I’m doing 10 feet away. Wanna curi-curi play Facebook, Msn and Friendster also cannot.

Haha the big boss is out. But I still need to come out with possible location for the anniversary thingy. Headache! And my ‘boss’ here right in front of me forget about the Expat’s reader’s profile that she want from me. Sigh…whatever. I try to add more stuff in and then show it to her on Monday ‘coz yesterday when I’m doing it I was feeling weak and sneezing non-stop.

Shit! It’s going to rain now…I wonder how am I going to Pavilion later to see baby and do my hair for tonight’s event. Damn…no umbrella some more! I’m very sleepy arh!!!!!!

First Day of Work

Temporary sitting at the editorial room.Seeing all of them typing articles for the magazines,I feel so..ehem..stupid.Which their bombastic use of words,my blog here is nothing compared to their article.I was assigned to do a reader's profile which i don't know what the heck it is until my supervisor futher explain it to me.Well it's actually a simplified marketing plan with target market and swot analysis of the Time Out magazine.

Well,mine missed out a lot of stuff but yet it was ok.Just need to elaborate more on the events that we need to do.Well well well...this is my first time and i got no idea on how to do it.Feeling tired already now,sleepy and my shoulder is bloody aching.Its not as easy..but i'll hang on.I'm actually doing PR work now.Interesting as i get to do events and all that.But for the moment now just sourcing for upcoming events and movie screening.Later will need to call sponsors in 2 weeks or so.Later tonight have to go home and do some research.

I just ate an apple for lunch today.My colleagues tempted me with homecooked maggie goreng.It smell so damn ****ing nice!Making me hungry the whole freaking day but need to diet diet diet!!!!Even though i got a little lighter hehe :P

Half an hour to finish work...Going over to Pavilion to fetch baby and probably get a pressie for his wacky brother.Hungry!!!!!!

Oh my GOD!I finally graduated...

I was very very very busy for the past few weeks.Really tired but i had the very best memories and i enjoyed it alot..Well Betty came back too 2 weeks earlier before the graduation.

We had a little vacation before everything starting to get busy.Me,baby,betty,binny & jack went back to Ipoh-Sitiawan-Pangkor Island then Sitiawan-KL.Oh believe me,we took around 1 and a half hour to reach Ipoh from KL.It was a blast with Jack's driving skills.Huhu..and we nearly rammed into a huge dinosaur a.k.a tractor-trailer and the VIOS horn gone burned.Shhh...don't tell my mum or dad about it!We met Bin's cousin a little while and had very nice seafood at the Mushroom Stop a.k.a Tung Gu Teng in cantonese.

Head back down to Sitiawan in less than 1 hour.This time I drove because they don't know the way and luckily I still can remember the way back.We eat again...ORI CHAR a.k.a Kuey Teow Basah!!!Yummy...I'm craving for it for so long.The one that I've tried in KL,sucked.After that we went back to my home.We still can play cards and drink.Then baby reached around 530am 'coz he have to work and he went to Time Out Magazine launching without me!!!

We woke up 1oam,went for breakfast at Kg. Koh.We had mee rebus.Then we went to pay a visit at granny's house and then we left to Lumut to go to Pangkor.Managed to borrow a car from Si Hui,we were suprised when the car is not locked and parked at the road side and the key is in the car.Then we went to Teluk Nipah...we had fun and we had very delicious fried chicken only available in Pangkor Island.

We had late dinner at Ah Pek Lee How Fook Restaurant.Why late???Hehe..thanks to Jack the super metrosexual who said "Oh My God!I need a comb!" when we went Giant the next day to get stuff for dinner as our Fuckshion Designer Chef is cooking pasta for my family.Like usual,he's cooking is fantastic!We all love it.Then we rushed back to KL,wanted to go Velvet but end up all feeling tired so didn't go.

The day after I went the curve to pass the seashells that I bought from Teluk Batik for our booth to Joanne.Wanted to go see the booth but I lazy and I'm with Betty.We had lunch at IKEA,meatballs!!!Yummy!!!Bought a few stuff from IKEA then fetch Betty back home to Wangsa Melawati.Since I'm around there so I went to my ex's house to get my stuff and head back home right after that.Then I got a call from Lynn,she's having her birthday gathering at Souled Out.Had a quick shower,picked what to wear,make-up and rushed to Pavilion to fetch baby then head off to Hartamas.Baby didn't join 'coz he got futsal then later he's going to Scarlett to meet his friends.Later Robin came too and he's also going Scarlett after that to join Jack.Then there's a friend from Teluk Intan called,he suprised me asking me to go Scarlett also.I wonder how come he knows that I'll be going there and he got a table for me as well.So I ajak Lynn and other coursemate to come along since I got a table reserved.I need to go around,3 tables in one place.Very busy.Again..we all have a great time.

Was shopping for that few days for graduation.Found so many things to buy.I end up buying 2 pairs of heels which I only need the blue one for 'the' night.Another one is for events that's coming up.Shoes and heels is the thing that you can never stop me from buying.

Couldn't believe that it's my graduation on the 3rd April.Baby did my hair for me.He's fast as I was rushing,but still the standard maintained,my hair looked great,very professional and I love it.He did mum and jie's hair as well.Love him so much..xoxo thanks for the flowers baby!!
He's Calvin Takeshi,working at The Belfry Salon in Tangs Pavilion KL.Other than that,he also cuts hair at his personal salon back at his home at Cheras.For futher information,leave me a comment or call him directly 012-3088072.

Happy 'coz I finally graduated after all the sleepless nights and all the effort and money used but sad that college life ends and eventually we,coursemates,have our own things to do,own life to go on with and hardly we can see each other again.I'm happy that my coursemate and college mates were so close,not like what I've heard from other college's politics and issues happening among their coursemates.We are all good,close and cares for each other and most importantly we treat everyone the same despite the habits and personality either good or bad.
