Nightmare & some recall on Saturday night

Saturday went for “yum cha” with Fei & Afoi at Wong Kok Restaurant, followed them ordered “Yin Yong” drinks. At first don’t know what is “Yin Yong” (please don’t laugh), when the drinks was served then only know is coffee mixed with tea. Shit!!!… the most had drinks in my life, cause I don’t like to drink coffee & is not good for health. But what to do, die die finished it. Nearly vomit, the taste is so bad! I really hate coffee. After that, Afoi fetched me back to my apartment & followed by Fei. After back to home, the nightmare started! The time is around 12:30am. Though want to straight away sleep. My eyes can’t even close. Never feel want to sleep. Then woke up & studied books, filled in some application forms….the time is passing, but still got no feeling want to sleep… continued studied books, time is passing. Look at the clock, shit.. is just 2am. Can’t even sleep. Really don’t know what to do. A lot of things recall back from my mind. Again look at the clock is 2:30am only. The clock is slow like snail walk. Waited & waited, finally felled in sleep at around 5am. What the shit man, one cup of coffee makes me so strong for the whole night. Promise, next time ask before order.

A lot of things recall from my minds on that night, one of the thing is the cartoon character. When I was child, cartoon series is a must for me. Do you guys remember a cartoon character called Smurf? I like this character a lot. They live at the mushroom. They have a big family member. The creator of Smurfs is Pierre Culliford or knows as Peyo. But he is no longer here since 1992 else I believe the Smurfs will have their own movie. Just now browsed the website & found some Smurf pictures. Is so cute. The official website for Smurf is: - http://www.smurf.com/

My Company Trip

Wow, really enjoy the Singapore Trip. Just after 1 week back from Singapore trip, here come another trip. Just went for a company trip to Cameron Highland for 3 days 2 nights. Journey started on Friday (11.11.2005). 8:30am gathered at office, bus moved at 9am. By 1:30pm, we had our lunch at one of the restaurant at mid of Cameron Highland, Ferm Nyonya Restaurant. After lunch proceed to Equatorial Hotel, the highest place at Cameron Highland for check in. Then is our leisure time. I followed Malacca branch staffs went to Straw Berry Park & market to bought foods. The vegetables there is quite cheap compare to PJ. After that we back to hotel for bath, then proceed to ballroom for dinner. They prepared a special meal for me; I mean the meal is vegetarian food. While others having their BBQ style dinner. After dinner, is our leisure time. Some of us gathered at apartment for a small chitchat session. Some of them drunk & red wine is a must for them. But for me, I don’t like wine & beer. So just sat there watched TV programs. We gathered until 2am & back to hotel for rest.

The second day, I woke up at 6am cause had planned to watch sunrise & snap some photos earlier. After bath & changed clothe, at 6:20am walked to the small garden alone. Is pretty cool. Had waited until 6:35am, but just manage to saw a little bit light. Waited until 7am still can’t see the sun cause too cloudy & also caused by the first night rain. So no choice, back to hotel for my breakfast. After breakfast, we went for half-day tour to tea plantation. At there, the view is amazing. We get to know the processes of the tea. We snapped a lot of photos too. Then we proceed to strawberry farm. This is my first time get to know how strawberries plant like. Then proceed to market. Didn’t buy anything & back to hotel for the lunch. While they having their Streamboat, I was having my special meal. After that, we went to bees farm. Just walk around & snapped few photos. The flower there is pretty nice. We went to Butterflies Garden too after back from bees farm. A lot of things can see at the Butterflies Garden. Then we back to hotel for a rest & wait for the “Safari Night Dinner”.

At Safari Night, there are a lot of funs. The very first program on that night is Snake Show by the snake king. Then followed by Award Presentation to those staffs that work for 10,15 & 20 years. And then the lucky drawn is a must for every year. The grand prize is 34 inch TV, thought want to win the TV for my family cause my house TV already stay with us for 22 years but unlucky just won a toaster. Disco dance is on too on that day. Basically that’s all for the Safari Night. After the dinner, we back to room for rest.

The next day morning, I woke up at 6am too & tried to meet the sunrise but not able to see. So went for breakfast at 7am, then we proceed to market too. Just bought vegetables & strawberry. After that back to hotel & checked out at 10:30am. Bus arrived at 11:30am & back to PJ at around 4:30pm. That’s the story of my company trip.

Feel very happy can attended for this trip, met a lots of staffs & clerks from branches that always called up & talk to me one. I think only Penang branch clerk I can’t meet with cause they not attending for this trip. But later will go to Penang to meet up with them cause promise with them earlier.

The Care Of My Dad...

I’m sure in everyone heart; they want a father & a mother that take care of them. I’m happy having a father that so care of us. When I was child, my dad always took the whole family visited some destinations in Malaysia. Sometimes he took us for a movie too. Even we don’t have car previously, but he will tried the best way to reached the destinations like by bus, by taxi…etc.

Previously, my dad had a good temper & a happy smile. But recent years, his temper has change a lot. From good temper become bad temper. Always angry. Family members not happy with him. My youngest sister is the most having conflicts with my dad. Always argue with each other. My dad always let people feel or thought like he is not care about us. But, what I want to say is thought is just a thought… is just a thought. Why? Because I realized something, I realized the caring of my dad from Singapore. When we having our “Tong Shui” session at the second last day at Singapore, each of us went to order our own drinks & foods. My sister ordered foods from a bit far & she had to wait longer. When all of our foods & drinks was almost finish, my sister still not back to the table where we sat. So my dad start worried about her. At first he went to look for her, but after 1 round back, my dad said can’t see my sister. So all of us was scared, especially my dad face. We saw his worry face, is really scared me. All of us started look for my sister, finally dad found her at a corner & still waiting for the food. By this time, I realized how good my father is. He is such a good father. Only his temper needs to change. Really hope he can change his temper & hope my sister & dad can always calm down. Dad, we still love you & care of you!

My Singapore Trip

Holiday for Raya & Deepaveli had over last 2 weeks…. Wow…is almost 1 week off. Such a long holiday & I just went for trip with my family members to Singapore. Actually last year been there already but not much time spend on that trip cause just four days. So this year make another trip with family since got such long holiday. For this trip, there is a happy & sad for me. The main purpose I went to Singapore is to snap photos & buy my collection. The happy thing is I get my collection – Hard Rock Café t-shirt (is original, cost me S$27 mean almost RM60)…. Yahoo.. I promise I want to get the Hard Rock Café t-shirt from each of the country that I visit but somehow I will also ask my friends to buy me if they go for trip. The sad thing is the resolution for the photos that I snapped at nighttime is not clear especially at the Merlion cause I forgot to bring my tripod & when take photos the time hand is shaking & make the photos so blur. Is so sad.

The journey started on Monday (31st October, 10:30pm), we went there by train. It took around 8 hours to Singapore. We live at my Aunty house. The first day we went to China Town. This is the first time I went to China Town. China Town is some place like Malaysia Petaling Street. A lot of things can get there as long as you got money. Eating is not a problem too cause there is a lot of food stalls & restaurant too & I feel that at Singapore there are more people become vegetarian & food stall for vegetarian are very easy to find. I found a vegetarian restaurant but the sad thing is the restaurant was closed. So no choice just ate “Tang Yuen” with nuts. The taste is not bad. Family members ordered their own meals. Not much activity on first day.

The Second day we went to Sentosa Island. At Sentosa, some place is doing renovation & compare to last year some of the place had changed. The beaches still remain the same. There is no more “bugs” train service. The Merlion still remain the same. Only at the side is doing renovation. The plan that we planned earlier is cancelled. Supposedly we were going to watch the fountain with light at nighttime but due to the time is still early & all of us were tired so had cancelled the plan & head toward to The Largest Fountain In The world- “FOUNTAIN OF THE WEALTH”. Knew this fountain from the reality game show - The Amazing Race. The fountain is really nice. We are so lucky, when we reached at the fountain the water not yet shoot out. Just after 1 minute, then water shot out. Is amazing! But we never wait until the light on cause will be very late. So after snapped photos, straight back to home.

The third day we went to Orchard Road, the main purpose here as I mention above is to get the Hard Rock Café t-shirt. So we had search for the shop up and down & asked people where is it, finally we found it at the end of the road. After get the t-shirt, we back to house & prepared go to Merlion. We reached at Merlion at 6:30pm. On the way to Merlion, we also passed by the Port Club & had taken some photos. At Merlion, the main purpose here is to take photos with Merlion at the night view. We had waited until the light shot at the Merlion, is amazing view! Had taken some photos, but I feel very sad cause most of the night view very blur cause I used night mode to take & the night mode had to waited for around 15 seconds & between the 15 seconds my hand shouldn’t shake. Because I forgot to bring my tripod & my hand was shake make the photos very blur. After finished the snapping session, we back to Bedok for our dinner & then back to home.

The fourth day we went to Bugis. We just walked around, didn’t buy anything at there. Snapped some photos & we pray at the Guan Yin Temple too. After that back to Bedok for dinner then walked around at the shop at night & also had our “tong shui” session. Basically the fourth day not much activity.

The fifth day is the last day we stayed at Singapore, so we had planned to see the sunrise. 6am woke up & walked to the beach side near where we stay. Not really sure what is the place name. Waited for the sunrise quite long & not really saw the sunrise from the beginning cause when the sunrise there is a bit cloudy cause day before this was rain. I am quite happy with the results for the photos that I snapped. Is really nice. The beach that we went can see a lot of aero plan fly over & we tried to snap a photo that using my hand for “holding” the aero plan. We had snapped this photo more then 10 times, errr… maybe 20 times cause every time when want to snap, the plan either passed or not reach my hand. haha. Finally we had taken the photo. I really like this photo. This photo will post at my new blog cause want to post all the best photos there. After that back to house for breakfast then we proceed to China Town again cause my sisters want to buy something. Reached at China Town, we walked around. My sisters bought some clothes & souvenirs. Then we back to house prepared for dinner.

We having the dinner with my Aunty family then back to house again prepared go to railway station. Thanks a lot to my aunty cause allowed us to stay there for so many days. We head toward to railway station around 8pm. Reached at station around 9pm. The train that we sat arrived at 10:15pm & moved at 10:30pm. That’s the end of my holiday, say bye bye to Singapore! I just post some photos here, the rest will be at my new blog & I will try to up the new blog by this week.
