Come Back.

Anyone here, right now? I'm married, a loving husband and 3 beautiful kids. How have you been? xoxo

Hiatus

Since there's no one actually reads this blogsite, I'm thinking to whether close it or leave it as what it is all these while. Update it once awhile when i feel like to.

Work, has been so so to me. Job scope is mostly follow up till a big project comes up, there goes my time and pilling paper work to be filed. I kinda have this hate-like feeling towards organizing events, hope you get what I mean.

Well.. Hope this year will be a great one to me, be it career or lifestyle.

TIll then.

iM on diet!

For this very time, I have to mean it for what I confess!

Yes, I'm going on a diet plan, not strict, but healthier and lighter diet and it is officially starting on 10/10/10, special date to mark the start of my diet plan, good!

Yesterday's breakfast was a little too heavy, had Cantonese Fried Yee Mee + Coffee, lunch would be steam bun with butter and milk tea and dinner was Bak Choi, Ginger Chicken and a soup that literally blotted my tummy :)

And for today, my breakfast was hot milo + ham sandwich. I'm going for rice with green vege later for lunch.

Everyone is going healthy lately, most of the people I know had tone down a lot, i really meant a lot!

weight as of 10/10/10 : 54kg

next weight will be on 17/10/10

Progression

Yep, today I'm going to talk about the progression of my treatment from Damon System, also known as one of the latest braces treatment. The braces have been attached for half a year now, and I'm really contented with the result taken place.

This is taken on 5th September.

According to my dentist, she claimed that my upper teeth has been straighten, pretty fast I would say. But not the bottom. My dentist had tried to changed the steel during my last 3appointments but failed.

If you see clearly, there are 2 extra sticks attaching both sides of my teeth. That is to force my upper teeth to align with my bottom teeth. I seriously don't know how it is gonna work base with that 2 pieces of small thing, but I believe that my a little face transformation will take place as my teeth will be pulled inward.

I'm looking forward for the next appointment and hopefully my dentist can figure out the ways to fix my two front teeth which look quite imbalance now.

can i work at home?

iPOS is a system I need to log in to almost every day, if not for work purposes, its a system that capture our clock in & clock out time for work. Each iPOS works differently for each dept. As for my pc, the most essential component which I must have will be the Master Clients which is the master of handling ALL client's issue. Sales analysis will be the secondary as I have my hands on it only once awhile for report.

I've been doing almost nothing in the office since last Wednesday, except for surfing the net for countless times, to and fro from Facebook to replying emails to checking on the latest trend for anything. So much time but nothing to do.

I begin to be very worried because I still have hundreds and thousand of members' data waiting for me to enter, and to add the 2 weekends, I haven't entered to iPOS for 6days, including today!

I seriously have an urge to ask my manager can I reply all the emails at home since it will save quite a bit of item starting from my expanses to office and the electricity I use at office which I think is seriously a waste of time and money. I can do it at home too.

Jamie had gone home since she has no appointment today, and we had lunch at Paparich. FULL and I'm feeling super heavy in my brain and its like going to shut anytime. Tuition tonight till 9.30pm, dreadful Monday :(

saturday day out.

I was taken out by Eugene last Saturday for a very satisfying breakfast :) It was being said for a long time and we finally made our way there. From pictures shown at Facebook, and review from some people I bumped into their blog site, its quite a place that people would spend their lovely weekend morning at such environment. Apparently, the owner of this shop is a chinese chap. Interior and exterior gave a tad-bit of European feeling, quiet and cozy.

This is it!

Levain Boulangerie Patisserie

pastries, bread, awesome sandwiches,
cookies, log bread etc.


Below are our orders. It would be more if we have more stomach :)
Mushroom Tomato Ham Cheese Crust Pizza.
This is not in the breakfast menu, taken
from the bread and pastries section.
*MUST TRY
Turkey Ham Epi.
The ham was good but the bread was bit too tough,
I believe it will blend well with mushroom soup.
Breakfast Set.
Simple but taste really delicious.
hidden sausage in the beef bacon ;)
my Cup-a-ccino
:)
Eugene's Latte.
Very smooth.

We had a good time enjoying our breakfast which we yearned for a long time. Sitting down looking at the people came with just friends, with partners and even with family. It was just wonderful. Me and eugene are going back there for more.

If you are a breakfast and pastries people...

You should give it a try :)

*********************************************************************

Eugene bought movie ticket for us since we have had not watch any movie for a long time. I suggested Inception starring Leonardo De Carpio since it was highly recommended by Sarah. Indeed it was awesome, it turned out to be awesomely awesome. I have had to say it was by far one of the best movie I've ever watched.

Guys, do not be deceived by the lack of publicity, but even so, you should at least give yourself a chance to try, you might like it. I didn't regret. But be prepared for a long 2hr+ movie that you need full concentration. So its advisable not to go there when you're dead tired or after a meal. Go in with full of expectation :)

Yup, that Saturday was indeed a day loaded my stomach with food. Sakae was our late lunch after movie because Eugene got 2 RM10 vouchers from sister and its going to be expired in a month. We've got RM20 off the bill and we only paid RM16.

It was also Eugene's grandma's 75th Big Birthday, I was being invited to her house for more food. Typical home cook food for a party, but nonetheless, I had good time eating.

A birthday shout out to Grandma! Blessed 75th Birthday!

My prayer to you is that you will have long life, and super good health. God has given you a very talented fingers to make good food for us. I pray that you could do more for as long as you live on this earth, and most importantly, you will be saved in the presence of the Lord. Although you're Eugene's grandm,a, but I've always treated you as a grandma of my own.

Phantastic Phuket - Day 4

Day 4 means the end of the whole trip. But it doesn't mean we pack and back to KL. Our flight was at 9.05pm Thai hour, minus 2 hours for check in and some shopping at Phuket Airport's Dury Free shop, we still have daytime to spend. We managed to get back the friendly driver 'Fat' who fetched from airport on day 1, to send us back to airport on our last day. But this time it was his friend, still as friendly as him.

The group of us quickly took some time to swam at the pool for last shot after our breakfast. Although it was only an hour but we had good time. Pack our stuffs and headed for check out. Again I've to emphasized that Thavorn Beach Village and Spa's service is superb. And I thought people at Thailand is always friendly, and I'm being honest.

Day 4 was the day we did last minute shopping. We literally went all the way from Patong to Phuket town and out of the town to get Cashew Nuts, all thanks to the driver whom doesn't know English at all, only basic, and I mean really basic.

Raw cashew nuts.

Huge Jackfruit

We went to a mega market, some sort like a wholesale store that sells EVERYTHING. We went shopping and get everything we want. Junk food heaven! And is dirt cheap.

Counting money, everyone was almost broke at day 4.

Saving up for airport fearing that our luggages will overweight.

They are known as checkers,

even their t-shirt explained all.

The checkers will standby at the exit and check the item list from the receipt before letting the customer go.

Things that we bought :D

Every single one of us were broke, saving all that we could for a decent dinner before heading back to KL, we can't be going back with and empty stomach and knowing that airport's restaurant is a money slaughterer :D We wanted something cheap and nice, this Food park is located in a shopping mall, all thanks to the driver again for bringing us there because we requested it.

Mini sushis 10baht per pc.

Beef Noodle.

My last order before leaving Phuket.

Our departure time was supposedly 2105 thai hour, but the flight got delayed 35minutes after we printed out our boarding pass via kiosk. We were okay with that because eventhough reaching KL it will be 2315 local time. We happily check in those overweight luggages and made our way to the duty free shop, the guys were busy picking their favorite liquor and also busy collecting passports to purchase more. It was only 7pm then when we did our shopping, waited for 2hours and really anticipating to board our flight back home because everyone was really exhausted. Suddenly, the screen in front our platform shown a different time of our departure, and it came with a broadcaster informing that our flight has been delayed to another half an hour. If you are a regular Air Asia customer, you would know their frequent flight delay habit I would say.

We reached LCCT at 0030 local time. I was really really dead tired and slept through the journey from LCCT back to Ampang.

Phuket is really Phantastic :D Did I mention the expanses of this whole trip? Oh btw, I've got this Flight + Hotel package for only RM600 for 4d3n. It was really a lucky one because after 2 weeks when we check the price, it has gone up to RM800 and above. :)

This whole trip cost me 10000baht. Do the math :)

Give yourself a chance to explore Phuket, we have lots more places that we have yet to explored. It will be my list again :D

Phantastic Phuket - Day 3

Hey there, I'm back to complete my Phantastic Phuket - Day 3 post! I really need to have determination in completing what I've left dangling, and here I am. Without any further delay, I shall briefly share what had happened. Day 3 was free and easy for all. 3 couples went to get souvenirs and did some shopping while me, eugene, joshua and fanny stayed back to utilized our resort's facilities. We swam, ate, kayak and even went for spa.

view at the pool (part of it)

Pool Side Villa

Thavorn's Pizza

Coconut Ice-Cream

Club Beef Burger

Interior of the SPA

Outdoor shower

Mini jaguzzi attaching the SPA

It was dinner time, we dined at a restaurant at the cliff. With an expectation that it will be windy and spectacular scenery, but it failed us tremendously. Not only it has no wind at all, the service was bad, food was so so but pricey and to sum it all, horrible. Pictures below were those above so so rating which I find that is still edible :)

Beef Fried Rice

Pineapple Fried Rice

Lobster Spaghetti

We got our butts rode on a Tuk-tuk only during our last night, 300baht for 10pax from our resort to Phuket night market. I salute the drivers like seriously, if you've been in a tuk-tuk, you know what I mean. Those drivers can really drive skillfully escaping every possibility that might cause accident, like how to manage a sharp corner turn, overtaking another tuk-tuk?

10pax in a tuk-tuk

me and siew went for manicure & pedicure.

200baht for just basic and 300baht for color.

Everyone has to get their feet clean before entering the pa-lour.

Its located at the night market, 2 doors away from Addidas.

Day 3 ended with loads of drinks and a time of chit-chatting with one another. We were dead tired that night, everyone went to bed early.

Happy Birthday Eve!

Saturday dinner was at colleague's house, celebrating her daughter's 1year old birthday. What a memorable birthday, for us, not for the baby girl. I bet she was feeling oh-so-curious, why is there so many many people at my house?! But to us, it will be always remembered. This little baby's birthday celebration cost 7times of my 21st Birthday celebration, and I cannot imagine any further how would her 21st Birthday celebration be like, a trip to tour around Europe, with her favorite friends? oh...

[From left] Chloe, Felicia and baby Eve.

Once again, Happy Birthday baby Eve!
Wish you good health and grow in wisdom and stature!

Pictures below are all we had during the tea time which only cost RM3.6+ per serving.

what happend on June?

June is ending in just mere 2days. Time flies, everyone has to admit this fact. Although from the very beginning since the day I was born, the time doesn't tick any faster nor slower, it was the surroundings, the different stage of life that makes us feel the speed of time.

What happened on June?

Weekdays were just office, back home rushing for tuition, then practices for worship, meetings for camp, weekend for the boyfriend and I missed the youth group the entire month. Oh ya, worked full cycle of 14days during early june. PD 2D1N at Uncle Albert's awesome crib on the 2weekend, OUTBAC Broga Youth Camp on the 3rd week.

And for 4th week, it was a roller coaster ride to me, literally. Woke up at 7am every morning and I was out for every single night without fail.

Monday- Tuition at Nick's house after work, got home at 10pm
Tuesday - Same as above.
Wednesday - Reached home at 8pm, prayer meeting at 8.30pm, reached home 10.30pm
Thursday - Reached home at 8pm, worship practice at 8.30pm, reached home 10.30pm
Friday - Youth Camp evaluation till 10.45pm, uncle gary's house for drinks, 2am reached home.
Saturday - Consult skin specialist Dr Ting, ran errands, 8pm colleague's daughter 1yr old birthday, 10pm drinks at old town till 12am.
Sunday - Praise&Worship 2 sessions, sat through service till 1pm, lunch, back to church for EE till 4pm, 4.30pm out to Starhill for 3.6 tea time, 6.30pm Karate Kid, 10pm Pandan Indah for Germany vs England match. 12.30am reached home and died on the bed right away.

July is full of events :S
I'm so tired.

dermatologist

Yep, I'm so gonna pay a visit to Dr. Ting which was highly recommended by a colleague. I think the frequent trips to facial parlor have not helped much, I shall divert my fund to a more promising return.

The condition on my face has got worse, it worsen my mood and the self esteem in me. Been googling and found a lot of positive feedback about this specialist. Since I have free time tomorrow, I shall get my feet there as early as possible, early bird catches the worm :) Because I've received a lot of advices that its impossible to be treated if I don't reach there an hour or earlier before the consultation hour. People travel from as far as north/south, east/west just to get his advice.

Hence, morning at 7 tomorrow to be the early birds. Because if I miss the early queue, I might need to wait up to 5hours to be treated. Good things have to pay.

I need my facial condition to be treated..I'm sick of this already.

never ending

My work load has no full stop :( Everyday I come to office with terrifying heart because never a day the tray is empty, it will increase more but never decrease.

I want to go overtime, but many things just don't permit. I'm tied up with so many things and I don't have a car.

I really got to work on my schedule today because I'm afraid one day I'll fall.

Lord, my help comes from you!

the list has no ending

There is so much to share, so much to complaint, and so much to happy about. But, time just doesn't permit!

I felt that I was on mid term holiday together with the kids. PD on the 1st week of school holiday, OUTBAC Broga on the second. With these two occasions, it seriously demotivated my spirit for work and all I could think and dreamed was just vacation and only vacation. I dreamed that the usual bunch of us were catching our flight to Taiwan yesterday. Gonna make this wish comes true :)

I never like the beach at PD, but I go PD if I am accommodating at Uncle Albert's house. To me, relaxation found there. I don't have to worry about the food (overflowing), things to do, sunshine, the pool, the people around there, wonderful.

OUTBAC was a life changing thing, mentally and spiritually. Speaker was Ps Lim Jit Pang, the grandson of founder of Kluang Station, that makes coffee and toasts. A great man after God's heart and I have a strong believe that all, if not, almost all the campers felt the impact of the teachings and literally broke down in tears before God. As a part of the committee, for this time, I really felt that we did a good job in taking care of them. One thing I'm really glad that this bunch of campers were very obedient and did not give tough problems to us. My hope is that the youth will continue to keep the fire burning in their heart, run the race and be capable to pass the baton to the next generation.

There is so much to do..
So much to wish that I can do..
I'm procrastinating, although was being bomb yesterday for those unfinished work :)

Compiling a report now, see you around.

xoxo

weekend getaway

I'm invited to PD this weekend, to Uncle Albert's 4 bungalows attached to 1 mansion that super awesome place for a breathe taking weekend getaway.

BUT, I have to be on stage this weekend but I'm lazy to search for people to swap with me. HOW? I want speed boat, jet ski and banana boat for the weekend :(

The boyfriend said that if i can't make it, he will ask Josh and Felix to accompany, more like a business trip for them.

BUT, I also have an appointment with the dentist this Saturday, she wants to apply thicker steel at my bottom jaw. If that trip happens, I'm afraid I couldn't eat well, (a feast during our stay is a definite!)

DILEMMA

:S

school holiday

School Holiday has officially begun on Saturday. Nicholas and me chatted via Facebook this morning and claimed that he might not be able to make it for tonight's tuition class because he wants to follow his aunt for Prince of Persia at the mall.

I was just wondering whether I should just call off the class since its school holiday for the kids and also I'm not on my right track today. Maybe I was too exhausted working over the weekends. Literally running the engine for 2 weeks excluding the bed time of course. But to be honest, I like working at the outlet, to see the people walking at the mall, the way Soon after I've that thought, Sis Kath texted me and said Nicholas doesn't want to have class today as well as tomorrow because Sunbeam's Charity Dinner is held at PGRM tomorrow. They are attending. So ya, no class for today and tomorrow.

My plan for tonight after my work would be uploading pictures which were taken during the weekends and to update the remaining Phantastic Phuket's post.

And now, I lost focus on my work today. Don't feel like doing anything but sleep :(

Mummy is cooking spaghetti for dinner tonight, yumyum.

Cottage Fries and Gossip Girls Episode 7 Season 2 tonight, yeahyeah.

xoxo

promise

I won't replay the same mistakes I've done. I want to prove to the people out there that I can do it! I will.

Working like a dog this whole week.

Friday - KLCC
Saturday - Pavilion
Sunday - Pavilion

Working hours from 11am-8pm. Do come visit me. You might love it, its Quiksilver & Roxy's 15th Anniversary!

loaded.

Chloe has left at 4.30pm for class, Sarah left for Sunway for some meeting. Manager is always away. So, today at 5pm, an hour to 6pm till I call it a day at work, I am alone. Whenever I look at the pile of my paper work, I sigh and always ponder when only I can finish everything, and I seriously mean EVERYTHING.

Job scope today is to send out sms to all members for our company's 15th Anniversary sales which will be held at a different day for local and outstations. I literally used 1 whole day to extract the numbers and edit it. It took me long enough to finished it, its 5.30pm now and imagine I started at 10am, and minus my 1 hour lunch break :D I'm a newbie, pardon me.

Today is payday, tomorrow is public holiday, Saturday is meet up day and party day, Sunday is Sabbath day. :) Well well well, I'm so so excited about the weekend, as always. And I can't wait the Anniversary sales to end quickly so that I can really focus on my paperwork.

As for today, I really really want to thank Chloe for offering so much patience and time. But obviously not really today that I need to thank her, but its like she is really ever patience to teach and listen to my everything! She is really really a good friend, a companion, I will love her like a sister to me, as I always do :D

Its pouring cats and dogs outside the window, and I'm leaving 6pm right on the dot :D

Have a great weekend mates! You should ;)

Love,
Mich.

dental appointment

One of the bracket came off from the tooth yesterday while I was happily enjoying my nasi lemak. At 1st I thought it was some seashell because I was chewing anchovies at that time, thought it could be the kitchen that they didn't have it properly cleansed before serving it. It was too hard to bite so I took it out from my mouth, it looks really like a broken shell, but it was not!

So today I walked in to seek consultation, my dentist adviced me not to dispose the bracket, bring it back to the dentist to get it fixed. I did what was being told, the dentist was very glad that I didn't throw because she said Damon's brackets are VERY expansive.

Supposedly I can insert a thicker wire today, but my teeth still can't take the pressure of the thickness and the dentist is afraid that the bracket will dettach from the teeth again because of the intense pressure. So, the wire was being changed today, still using the previous' thickness, but a new wire. And dentist said Damon has no color rubbers to attach to my bracket, so which means for the entire process teeth straightening, the steel its gonna be just pure metalic. But nonetheless, I'm very very glad of the movement taken place.

The back tooth is starting to ache slowly, but not too bad. I got myself a new toothbrush. The previous one has worn out, well, I'm brushing the steel, not teeth.

Ortho toothbrush. cost me RM7.
Anyone has a lower price?

Phantastic Phuket - Day 2

Phew..Today is indeed a Fantastic Friday to me, and the colleagues. Just came back from Jaya Jusco with colleagues, the direct manager has gone out to Mid Valley for inspection, the small boss has gone out to don't know where, and the Big boss is on his way back from Vietnam. The HR director has gone to the bank, fetch her 2 princesses back from school. Which means, the staff at the lower hierarchy can have all the time loitering around the 2floors. =D And I, taking this opportunity to share my 2nd Episode of journey to Phantastic Phuket! (although my table is loaded with unfinished work load) don't care la..

The previous post I did mention that we were getting a good deal for our Phi-Phi Island 1 day trip, but to no avail. I don't know what had stroked on us, we were just being lucky then.Fat, our driver called up his mate to get an offer, the guys, want it to be private. Private boat can be done, but its obvious that we need to fork out extra. Fat offered 18000BHT for 10pax inclusive of transfer from resort to jetty and back from jetty, a 2 engine speed boat loaded with a huge ice box that contains beers, carbonated drinks, mineral waters, watermelon and pineapple. The 2 fruits were the common fruits to be eaten at Thai. They are serve as dessert on the house.

Jetty.

Awesome ain't it?

This is why we want a private boat :)
Ning Pei is as cute as ever.
Not to mention, sexy babe.
I begin to love boat during this trip.
This boat has a lot of ang moh.. ^^
The door to eternity.
Yeah.
Edison is impossible to even enter the door xP
Bird Nest Cage.
We pay to feed them. Ya, we had fun though.
See the white thing floating? The red piece of thing?
Its watermelon, we are not allow to swim here because of jelly fish.
Jelly fish and fishes.
manage to captured a pink jelly fish.
Our dinner was settles down here.
Located at Patong night market.The owner knows Mandarin.
Food was incredibly wonderful, and the price, super cheap.
TomYam Gong.
Thai only serves giant cockles.
Fried Squid.
Green Curry Beef.
Raw Prawns served with raw garlics.
10Bht per piece.
Egg backed Squid in foil paper.
Butter Crab.
Salt Baked Fish.
Fresh Oysters served with Thai sauce,
garlic and some crispy crumbs.

Coming to Thai will be in vain if you didn't experience the night life at Patong. Watching the transex shaking their butts, songs that being aired, street fill with whites and tourists, of course, people of themselves promoting 'ping-pong show, tiger show, giraffe show.. whatever rainbow show' You know, they know everybody knows what is it in the dark room :) Children grabbing almost all the whites to buy their handmade craftings, and they little ones are better in negotiating then us adults.

Waikiki Bar, see the poles in each table?
One of the most happening bar along the street.
The guys love it a lot. Ya, ALL the guys enjoyed.
:)
Too many to choose,
but all is good.

Day 2 ended by chilling at the room, chit chatting. It was indeed a tiring day for everyone. We slept quite early that day.
