2011-12-24T00:20:00.001+08:00

Tonight I attended my ex high school St John Ambulance annual gathering. It was so nostalgic n the flashback of memories brings a little shudder to me. The year 2011 is ending soon and we are going to embrace 2012 in jus few more days. Diane, the KBS said something meaningful. She said year 2012 is not the end, its just the beginning. :)

Well, few of the highlights in year 2011 was, i got my first job and i learnt alot of stuff. I also gained my interest in beauty stuff plus, i learnt how to avoid office politics. Second of all, I face major issue on my friendship. First time i realized i have been feeling one-sided all this while. I thought true friends are friends who will support u in whatever you do, instead of judging and making opinions..and also doubting... First time in my life year 2011 I lost my best friends who never gave me second chance to mend things up. I guess this decision was made for the best for them.

Third of all, I've changed. I decided to change my current life and my old behavior. I no longer an emotional emo type of girl. I no longer stay inside my comfort zone. I no longer feel lost about my future because i know i got my family to support me despite of evrything. Family unlike friends. They will be there by my side no matter what. I decided to help my parents to achieve their dreams as they are putting hopes on me. I will never let them down again.

Fourthly, i quitted my first job and found my second job. I gained more experience...learnt more things see more side of the ugly n realistic world. Lolz. Everything is irony. Through my second job i met Benjamin who happened to be my colleague and also my very (expensive person)~translate in chinese. Hahahha. If it wasnt him im probably don dare to dream big. Thanks for all the help and all the people in Elken.

Lastly, I would love to say...nxt year gonnna be a good good year..jus wait n see!!! :) Merry christmas and happie new year :-D

Xoxo,
Elly.

Life still goes on~~

2011-12-06T01:07:00.001+08:00

It feels like I've been through decades of life struggling to find a peace in mind. It's really cruel to realize that there's not much time left for us. Another 3 weeks we will be embracing a new year, new life. I was being compelled to leave. I have no other choice because there's no more space for me to fit in. I'm glad now because confronting and understanding my hurts, made me discovered my own strengths. Brooding is inevitable however life still goes on. Positiveness compelled me to focus on my complicities in how I have shaped and experienced life's happenings more than focusing on what had been done to us by others. Robert Caldwell stated that "What has happened to us, has indeed happened--and the way we see these things, and feel about them, and seek to act about them, the way we mold and hold them is who we are." I will not forget, but I will learn from the past.

And so be it an injury, be it an obstacle, be it a anxiety, be it a heavy weigh down responsibility, well, life still goes on. So, why don't we react with open mindset and experience the downs in life with courage, with positiveness believing that tomorrow will be a better day? So let's embrace life as we grow. =)

What are dreams?

2011-11-28T00:44:00.001+08:00

Dreams are so surreal, so vague, and sometimes so wild and full of imaginations. Well, what are dreams actually? Basically, I decided to write about dreams because I don't want other people to lose their dreams because their dreams are being criticized as childish, idiot, stupid, or naive or any other negative comments. There's nothing wrong to dream. In fact we got our own rights to dream..why do we need to let other people to rain on our dreams?

According to Heywood Broun, the most prolific period of pessimism comes at twenty-one, or thereabouts, when the first attempt is made to translate dreams into reality. This is so true because when I finished my degree at the age of twenty-one I felt so lost and I knew nothing at all. At the age of twenty-two, I joined a beauty company by thinking that I can apply all my marketing skills in my first job. However, much to my dismay, the marketing context is different in Malaysia. So much different from what we've learnt in textbook and all those theories. At the end of the day, I felt like I've wasted my four years studying IB and Marketing, still living no dreams.

Thanks to my guy, he influenced me "DARE TO DREAM". I remembered he dreamed to have a sport car at the age of 23. It was really inspiring because that was a huge dream and huge commitment. I started to have my own dreams too. I want to have a DSLR, I dream to be a reputable photographer in the future. I want to travel round the world, I dream to have a adventurous and exciting life ahead. I want to live in a double storey detached house, in which all the interior design will be designed solely by me. I dream to buy n design my own dream house. So, for the past 11 months I've drawn a dream map for three times, in three different companies. Soon, there will be a dream map in my bedroom too. Julia Cameron ever said "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is, and the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." So true to the extent that some people are still having difficulties in admitting what are their dreams.

Dreams will only begin to realize only it comes together with actions. Else we are only just daydreaming. We have to choose right and dream right in order to make sure we can achieve our dreams inside the targeted time frame. Don't let anyone to steal your dreams even your own parents because that would be no life. I've been there, done that and choose to change because it was so pain. When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world, you will genuinely impress yourself, seriously! Even if there are friends that back-stabbed you, badmouth you, don't doubt yourself because "one of the characteristics of the dream is that nothing surprises us in it. With no regret, we agree to live in it with strangers, completely cut off from our habits and friends."

Once in awhile, there might be people calling you insane, but its the insanity that's make you accomplish great things. Nothing is impossible, when people ask you why...throw them back..why not?

The verdict is : We must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. Let go of the past and go for the future and dare to chase your dream!!

I'm doing it now, are you?

Climbing Mountain

2011-11-23T19:15:00.001+08:00

It's 7.18pm and I'm still in the office working. Just a random update here. Today I've made a call to my old friend. At first it sounded awkward but I'm glad I've made the call. As time passes, I can't deny no matter how much I pretended I don't care, deep down I still care. I care them the most regardless what things I explained to the third party who simply comprehended that I don't care at all.

Now, I'm slowly to began to understand what my guy said the other day. Remember I went for waterfall climbing at Kubah the other day? Well, he told me something meaningful. We had speed problem in everything. Either he is too slow or I'm too fast. So when we climb mountain and heading to the waterfall we never walk together nor climb together. Hahah~

Just like everyday, he said that our life is actually like climbing a mountain. The every foot steps that we climb upwards the mountain is the every effort we put in to reach our success in life. Some people climb fast, some people climb using his/her usual own pace. For those who climb faster, walks abit ahead of the rest can easily reach the summit of the mountain in short time. Therefore they reached their goal and success in a short time which is really good. However, he/she missed out the beautiful scenery along the journey.

Those who climb slower using his/her own pace also managed to reach the summit of the mountain. Just that it was abit late than the others. In life, it means they still gain success but they put more time and effort in doing it. This type of people can get to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the journey.

Friendship is the same. I've decided to take the speed route to achieve my dreams and to reap success in life faster, however at the same time I missed out all the updates of my old friends. So irony but that's true. I guess it's the opportunity cost I had to make if I choosen to take the faster route. I miss my old friend. If you read this, I really really really miss you guys. Hope we can meet up soon and clear our doubts on every misunderstanding that we ever had. I'm keeping my faith.

Enclosed a song from Miley Cyrus-The Climb.

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what?s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

xoxo,
Elly

Buffet in Concorde Hotel

2011-11-20T23:31:00.001+08:00

I need to do more massage on my flabby tummy and arms in order to get back to my normal size liao :( Thank god I have this magical machine with me! I love you EB!!!! =))

Building your skin's future from within~

2011-11-19T23:35:00.001+08:00

The following is based on true story, my own experience:

Yes, it has been a real obsession for our whole family (Dad, mum, brothers and me)! It has become the newest trend nowadays! It's so obvious after two weeks I can seriously feel the result. SO GOOD until I went for waterfall climbing I felt like I'm younger few years back just like when I was so active during form 5. No joking here. After three weeks, I heard few friends commenting that my face turned smoother (out of my surprise LOL~).

Well, I've been consuming El Marino for about 3 months now. I like the sourly sweet taste of the pomegranate. It is a healthy collagen drinking based on Molecule Reformed Therapy (MRT) Technology. We all know that at the age of 25, our skin's collagen content will start to deteriorate. Germany researcher found out that our skin's collagen decreases because of two enzymes in our body that continuously break down our collagen and elastin. It is so rare to find any collagen product that can inhibit the breakage of the enzymes. El Marino is different because it seriously can inhibit the breakage!!! SO IF YOU DON'T INHIBIT THE BREAKAGE FIRST, REPLENISHING WOULD BE A WASTE. FYI, there are alot of internal skin supplement in the market for collagen replenishment, but it does not help deferring skin aging effectively.

Mum and Dad is so happy to discover El Marino because they have been drinking for two weeks after I shared to them my results. I can slowly noticed that mum's dark spots turning lighter...hahhahaha! So happie for her! :) Even my friend's grandma is crazy about this. LOL.

Ten facts about collagen here:

The wordings are in chinese...if you don't understand you can comment on this post or pm me in my Facebook :D It is so important for us, consumers, to understand the product that we are having in our body. Of course, all the effects above will not last long if you did not choose the right product, as it does not inhibit the activity of breaking down. Even if we replenish collagen to skin, it will quickly be broken down again by the excessive enzymes in our body.

I understand many of my friends started drinking collagen too. I hope they can choose wisely for value added product like El Marino which is worth the price :)

Back from KL

2011-11-18T23:18:00.001+08:00

It's really a very nostalgic place whenever I visited KL. It reminds me of my old past. Well, I'm glad I was able to catch up with my ex-manager. Too bad all my friends are centered in PJ area. So, its quite far for me to meet up with them. The three days training was incredibly awesome. I learnt alot, eat alot as well. Imagine 5 meals per day, no wonder I've gained a few kilos these days.

Inside the airplane~~

Hello~ finally some picture of myself. Yesh! I get to know a good news last night, one of my friend has reached manager level. I must strive hard too! Oh-yes! Btw, I went for "Guasa" on Wednesday night and im seriously impressed. My body contains lot of toxic and my blood circulation flow is not streaming well enough. Practically I think that's why I always got rashes after drinking alcohol. It caused severe allergic pain. Hmmm untill now the "guasa" place still green and red. Thanks to my beloved elders that helped me realized my conditions. Aha, I will blog about the daily food I ate during training in the next post. HoHoHo~

Fine Dining

2011-11-13T23:51:00.001+08:00

Went to The Raintree Restaurant two days ago to celebrate Alan's 11 years old birthday on his special 11 November 2011 birth date. So cool. The ambiance of the restaurant is so erotic and upscale with formal table settings and elegant decor. The white linen tablecloth, marble walls and masculine wooden poles surrounded me beyond my fascination. The Raintree Restaurant actually serves excellent French classic cuisines with Japanese presentation skills.

The guy, who suggested this fine dining place was actually recommended by a friend, who provides good review of this restaurant. Indeed, the service experience is just nice :)

Auntie ordered pan-seared cod fish? Hmm I'm not too sure the exact name but it's very delicious! So soft and succulent! XD

Okay, mine was sort of braised beef. The french name in the menu for this was something I don't know how to pronounce, hence I couldn't recall it. It was served with asparagus and served with divine sauce! If you notice, there are two layers in each meat roll actually.

Okay, at least this was something ordinary to us. Pesto Linguine. The guy ordered this. I can say it was not too salty for me and full of basil flavoring. A really healthy pasta. :)

Now the waitress was adding pepper in the grilled double lamb chop dishes for Alan. She was really friendly, and patient enough to wait for our order because it took us quite long to choose what we want to eat.

So, does this looks like lamb chop or lamb rack?

Yes, The Raintree Restaurant situated inside the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching is a recommended place for fine dining! :D Hahaha! You can actually receive 15% discount off your total expenses if the payment was made using Maybank credit card.

On the same night, there was another couple celebrating the wife's birthday on this special day. We helped them sang birthday songs and applauded for this lovely couple. And was surprised that they treated us and everyone a slice of strawberry icecream cake! According to the chef, if we made reservations for birthday celebration we could have enjoy a complimentary icecream cake from The Raintree Restaurant! Cool, so generous of them. Thanks for the icecream cake once again =))

The icecream cake was topped with raw strawberry, with saccharine sugar syrup cream......heavenly~ Indeed, The Raintree Restaurant at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching is so much recommended if you are considering some fine dining!

Facing the brutal reality

2011-11-10T02:43:00.002+08:00

It has been ages since I last blog. Obviously, my English standard is deteriorating. Need to blog more in order to improve my English. Even though I had to write credit report every day, however the report language is so much different from the language that we used in every day speaking.

Dear friends, whether you are reading this now or not, I just want to say sorry for being absent in the blog-sphere for so long. I don't really blog much these day. I intended to buy my own domain name (still in progress) and also re-branding my blog, restructuring the blog's personality and style.

Hmm, speaking of which I just re-edit my blog's layout. Still, it's not up to my expectation but it will be better in the future in terms of hassle free navigation. Honestly, many things had happened recently. I face major issues in my work, then followed by my friendship, then my whole family problem. It took me three months to adjust myself, to search for who I really want to be. Sometimes, I felt helpless because of those meaningless struggles. When I looked back and think, jeez I don't want to be like this forever. Therefore, I wanted to change.

I've decided to change. From here, I really wanted to thanks my ex-boss who constantly reminded me how lousy I am in the past. I also felt grateful because of this past history, I will not be held hostage to anyone or anything because I am the one who decide how I want it to be. Since then I learnt not to look back anymore. I started to commit into my dreams and also to what it takes to change.

The changing process is a pain in the ass, as not everyone can accept it. Facing the brutal reality, I've no choice but to change, even if it means to expose myself to the dangers of controversy. Likewise, when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change, we change. Many friends have become accustomed to pain rather than make the choice to change. It is sad to see they are affecting others around them to be even more bitter, worse than grief (Murphy 2011).

Lastly, I would like to quote a paragraph from Geneva Murphy. She said,

"Many people give up on their dreams. I am careful to surround myself with men & women who have not. This is accountability for me to adhere to. If someone has quit on their dreams or has not cared enough to invest in the dreams of others, what commitment will they have to me? I fight staying focused & committed within myself therefore, I can’t allow outside forces to add to the test of my will. As in historic examples, I am friends with many people, yet choose to invest quality time, energy & focus into like-minded, forward thinking people who I can trust will in turn sow hope & belief into my life."

This is so true. There is only between want or don't want. If you want to change, at least you got the opportunity to be successful in life, however if you don't want to change, then forever you will be the same. This fact resonates strongly both in my mind and my heart. I suggest everyone to start follow your dreams and transform your life before its too late.

Follow your own pace

2011-10-09T12:19:00.002+08:00

Yes, follow your own pace. Don't rush, don't stress, don't feel bad. Everyone has different types of priorities in their mind. You are not them, stop imitating them else you will be dead exhausted. What most important is the balance between family, love, career, and relationships. Yes, balancing. I read it in the Facebook pictures sharing and its super meaningful. I like the phrase "Don't take life too seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here."

Read the rest below....

Enjoy and savor your life by means of balancing every aspect of "happiness" and "success".

Amazing Theory

2011-09-23T21:48:00.000+08:00

The difference between 想要，要 and 一定要 is how important it matters to u. Besides food, shelter and drinks, everything else is a want, every single tiny bits of thing. Do you want to change your life? Just want? Or must want to change? Or just thinking of wanting to change? Different thoughts result in different outcomes. That's why some people become successful. Some people don't.

It applies in the things that we do in our daily life. For example, work. You want to buy something so badly, so you work hard to earn money for it, and yes in the end you will get what you want. But, if you just think of having something that you want, you still work for it but the effort that you put in was lesser. Soon your desire changes over time. In addition, you might feel that your situation doesn't really allow you to have what you think you want. In fact, it is the level of desires that changes your fate because the things you think you want was less important to affect your life. Can you see the importance of how each things matters to you? And the end results of getting something out from your level of desire?

Have you ever heard of "The Law of Attraction"? *evil smirk*

Sooooo, I've changed my mind now. "I want Canon DSLR 60D!", "I WANT CANON DSLR 60D!", "I MUST GET IT ON CHRISTMAS 2011!"

OH-YES!!!

So long peeps. I've closed down my blog for almost 2 months. I was planning to get myself a domain name. Also a new outlook for my blog. I'm sorry for the sudden change. Life is slowly entering the month of September. I encountered loads of things, hassles, hurdles and difficulties. I've changed to adapt myself to the environment and remind myself to be positive all the time.

All people have list of priorities in their head. But mine is different from theirs. If they don't understand, might as well keep quiet. If they like to compare you with others, just keep it cool. You are the one controlling your future as the old saying goes "your future is in your hand".

Recently I've joined a non government organisation-Young Malaysian Movement. It's fun and I felt like I'm in the high school moment. Mingling with different class of people, doing things together and helping to build a more responsible adolescent in Malaysia.

Bad Timing

2011-07-03T22:40:00.000+08:00

Everything happened in the wrong timing. Misunderstanding, conflicts, solitary, moodswings, sickness, and finally infatuation. It's happening to the wrong person, wrong feeling, wrong location, wrong period, wrong timing. :S

When will this ever stop, I wonder.

It's amazing..

2011-07-01T21:05:00.001+08:00

It's amazing how we walked through half of the year of 2011 in just a glimpse of shadow.
It's amazing how we have changed for the past six months.
It's amazing how we have grown up passing through blocks and walls of obstacles.
It's amazing how friends can turn out to be within few months.
It's amazing how relationships and bonds grow stronger and stronger.
It's amazing how life could meant to be.

I love my parents, friends and family. I've learnt that we have to live today like there's no tomorrow. Appreciates everything that was given, and bless everyone and give many loves in return. I have a dream waiting for it to come true. I know as long as I have hopes and dreams, everything is possible.

Yes, seize the day as we don't know what will happen tomorrow. =)

I love my parents. They are so cute =)

I love cold dishes :D

Baby octopus me likey too :)

Lotus?

eating lunch alone one day, I love solitude as well :)

This was the dinner provided during the Alpha course at Trinity Methodist Church. I love to learn about God :)

And a shy boy who is anti camera lol~

I'm still roaringgg, though with such small eyes. July is going to be even better, I promise :)

-will update soon-

Unable to blog

2011-06-23T00:27:00.000+08:00

Hello peeps. It's been awhile since my last update. I know I know, I'm kinda feeling guilty when I think cobwebs started to crawl itself on this blog. Sigh, I just got my wireless connection fixed two days ago. Thanks to streamyx's super unstable line, I really had a hard time to blog or online when I'm at home. I think I facebook more outside in the office rather than when I'm at home wtf. Seriously it's getting outta my nerves and probably I should grab some device or smart phone just for the sake of getting online. Urghhhh =="

So, possibly I will be missing from blogsphere few weeks or so. Nevertheless I will try my best to blog everything I can. @_@" *fingercrossed*. Anyways I had alot of updates etc. For example how I messed up father's day and eventually fixing everything back. And also there is an update regarding a mountain climbing last last week, and a pre-event post regarding the "Bloggers Walking the BHR Padawan Nature Challenge 2011". I really wanted to go for the nature challenge but I don't know how to drive up to Borneo Highland and I don't have partner to join for the jungle trecking wtf. Overall, I need timeeeeeeeeee~~~~ more!

How I wish I got three types of freedom in my life. Ya know what kind of freedom?? It's~
a) Health Freedom
b) Financial Freedom
c) Time Freedom

Super duper hard to achieve those three! But I believe I'm close to this three. I'm coming baby!
Life is a ceaseless change. You can never step into the same river twice. Everyone has the same goal, same vision, just that they are using different tool to reach that goal. Making choices is really hard, and sometimes, making the right choices is always better than work hard for something. (FYI I heard that from a woman named Samantha tonight, really inspiring!).

So, embrace it!

I'm having super heavy tired eyes @_@

2011-06-16T14:48:00.000+08:00

This is me. Whether I'm still alive or dead, my eyes are really dead. Stucking out and cannot focus anymore anywhere. Yeah, my blog is half dead too. I swear this kind of thing will stop one day. I need my eyes back. Ugh.

Thai Me up!

2011-06-11T01:48:00.000+08:00

Okay this post is super duper outdated. It was supposed to be scheduled last week, however due to time constraint and numerous outings with friends, I hardly got the time to blog about it. Alright, let's just get to the main point. LOL! I think it was really long since the last time I've been to Spring Shopping Mall. Not to mention dining there recently. So I really didn't know the existence of this section until last last week I went there for a lunch date with friends at Spring Food Bazaar.

It's another new section opened beside Pete's Western. I heard it was there for several months already. SWT. I'm so so so outdated. I found this "Thai Me up!" store super creative!!!! I love their way by letting customer to customize their own food with the selected choices. It consists of 3 steps and it's super easy! And the price is fair and reasonable too!

Tada! I ordered Beehoon, Beef, and Blackpepper taste. :D Next time I wanted to try seafood spaghetti with Kar Paw!

Tada! My long awaited Blackpepper Beef fried Beehoon :D Tasted superb!! Thumbs up!! Don't fret when you need to wait for your order more than 30 minutes because their business never stop from morning till night time. There are alot of people taking orders there selecting their own choice of food. And don't be surprised that some/most of the food base is finished when it's around dinner time. Their business is too good I tell you.

Overall I rated this 8/10!! *****

I super love this song. At times when I'm down or feeling angry, listening to this song simply creates inner peace in me. It calmed me down, and I suddenly can think very clearly without having any messy thoughts in my mind. Mindy Gledhill is a real talented person. Check out more of her songs at www.mindygledhill.com

Self Control

2011-06-03T12:06:00.000+08:00

A person told me I need to have self control. Much to my dismay I'm always unable to resist certain temptations. For example, foods and cravings. The end result would be getting fatter. Ugh...I came across this article online. It's a research done by Michael VanDellen about how self control, or lack of it is contagious.

There are few stages in life where we need to halt our pace and think, is this what we want? Is this all that matters? What could have happen? So many doubts etc etc. It's time to exert self control, people. No one but yourself can be blame on what choices that you chose. It's a vicious cycle of life.

“This isn’t an excuse for blaming other people for our failures,” vanDellen said. “Yes, I’m getting nudged, but it’s not like my friend is taking the cookie and feeding it to me; the decision is ultimately mine.”
The research was supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

You can always read the source of the article here.

Fine Art of Human Relationships

2011-05-29T22:52:00.000+08:00

Yes, it's good to me too, so I wanna repeat it here again after the author :D

"If there's any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own."

Hehe :D So, have u learn about the fine art of human relationships?

New Obsession

2011-05-27T00:50:00.000+08:00

Yes! I think I'm crazy because I got new obsession and I spent freaking rm100++ just for it. It's a professional makeup palette. And the only tools that I'm lacking right now is a set of professional makeup brush!! I wish I can get Bobbi Brown makeup brushhhhh~~ Oh yeah~ perhaps I can become a freelance makeup artist? :D

Tada! It's all the way from World International Beauty Fair held at PWTC, Kuala Lumpur. I paid RM100++ and I was shocked because this is way too expensive @_@

Looks like laptop...aint it?

And it's only got 30 eyeshadow colors (matte and shimmer) with 10 lipsticks colors and 8 foundation colors T_T I rather buy separately which cost more cheaper??

The color is nice..but..the price is too "nice" :S

I'm still learning how to use this side of the palette hmm...anyone who is professional out there wanna share or advise me?

Online Shopping

2011-05-26T02:06:00.000+08:00

Well well well, I've been spending alot recently. I meant ALOT. Damn, it's really a bad habit because I spent like I'm having a restrained opulence. It's crazy to think that I started to pick up online shopping. I remembered while doing one forum in e-Marketing class last year I pointed out that I don't really fancy online shopping thinking that mostly the payment requires credit card. I even stated the pros and cons of online shopping and believing I will not be one of the victim. Unfortunately, the addiction of this shopping lust is finally infecting me now. Once you started it, you cannot stop it, seriously. Dont' get the wrong idea, I'm not flaunting. I'm just sharing :D

So, I received another parcel.

Much to my expectations, the quality of the dress not bad, except it is always bigger few inches than the one shown in the display picture, though there's nothing we can do because it's free size. And the color is always 90% similar as the picture. And it's more cheaper than the one sold in brick and mortar shops in the shopping mall. Actually it can be more cheaper before adding the rider cost such as postage fee. I had no choice because the warehouse itself is located in Penang and from Penang to Kuching is like so far away, therefore higher postage fee. *smack heads* So far, I found online shopping is good and convenient for me. Especially when I shopped at www.silkytrend.com. The stuff there are inexpensive, goods with reasonable price, and also smooth web navigation. Most important of all, convenient and secure payment method.

Well, it's quite an experience because there are alot of frustrated customers receiving goods which are not up till their expectation like the quality of the clothes and colors differences etc. I had a friend, Annabelle complaint about her online shopping experience because she ordered white blouse, but they delivered pale yellow to her. And most worst is the company claimed that's the white blouse she ordered, which added twice the dismay and frustration. So the display picture was misleading after all. It's very important for us to choose the trusted blogshops or online boutiques. And you need to know the nature of online boutiques too.

Here are some tips to be smart before you click the "Add to cart" button when you do online shopping!
1. Always lower down your expectations because intangible goods carries higher risks.
2. Remember to prepare a measurement tape by your side so that you can always measure your length, bust and waist line and calculate whether the clothes fit your body.
3. Always imagine yourself with the clothes on you. What happened if it's bigger size than your actual size? Will it still look nice? If you don't mind and yes, go for it :)
4. Be confident of yourself and do not regret. (haha okay this is lame i know)

So, I'm still a newbie in this online e-commerce stuff.

Nevertheless, I'm still a happie customer!! XD

Gosh, look at my chubby face, I've been putting so much weight compared to four months ago =/ S.i.g.h.~

Next post i'm gonna blog about my new obsession. LOL. Will update soon :)

You Don't Know Me

2011-05-25T01:48:00.000+08:00

Okay this song is specially dedicated to people out there who don't know me at all, or don't know me partially. Enjoy~ :D

"You Don't Know Me" by Allison Iraheta from her debut album "Just Like You"

Lyrics:

I'm a ghost of a girl that you looked right past
I'm a voice you didn't wanna hear
I'm a page in a book that you read too fast
But I'm still here

Never can't, never tried, never even asked
And maybe I didn't want to say
You shut your eyes,
Told your lies,
And you had your laugh
And that's okay

'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am, for what I feel
If you don't know me

I've got more on my mind that I've never told,
I've got pain that you've never felt,
I've got the scars I can deal with it on my own, I've got stories that I'll never tell,
But maybe it's just as well.

'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am, for what I feel
If you don't know me

I'm strong,
I'm a mess
I'm together
And Emotional
I can scream
I can beg you to see I'm alive

I'm awake
I'm unglued
I'm not gonna break down now

'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry

'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am, for what I feel

'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am
You don't understand just how I feel
'Cause you don't know me

How to increase your blog's readership?

2011-05-24T04:53:00.001+08:00

Yes, remember the Sarawak Bloggers Talk that I blogged few days ago? Yeap! I've learnt a lot through this talk and get to know and connect with more people.

For example, through Mr. Cyril Dason, I get to know what is Sarawak Bloggers and people around it. Eventually I joined Kuching Bloggers in the first place few years back but I think that group was no more active now. It's time to switch to Sarawak Bloggers for more coverage and more networking :)

And this is Mr Willie from Reptoz.com. He was the organizer of the talk that night. He provided few useful tips which I would like to share it here. I'm so sorry for the late updates and I bet most of the audience of the talk might already blogged about this event.

So, what can we do to increase readership??

Few tips here:

1. Spend at least an hour to read other people's blog. Or make it a point to at least read 3 other blogs in a day.

2. Never forget to leave a comment no matter how simple it is. Most of them would pay your blog a visit.

3. Choose your title wisely. The reason is, we want our blog to appear first in Google.

4. If you willing to spend some money, buy your own domain rather than using blogspot or wordpress.

5. Create or make known your blog domain by: -organizing event, sponsoring event, organizing a contest, or rewarding your good readers with small gift.

6. Finally, check the health of your blog. Eg, how many people have visited your blog?

Well, up to some point, I didn't do the tips above previously because I like to be silent reader when I'm reading an anonymous's blog. I will only drop comment with my name on it if that person is my friend. I read people's blog, like for example, I always read Dawn Yang's blog and also Junjunriko's blog if there's any new updates. That's all. I don't have my own domain but I'm thinking of getting one soon. Like Willie mentioned, our own branding is important. Yeah, I was clumsy because I didn't really choose my post title wisely. All this stuff I'm gonna change it this year. I'm gonna follow the tips 100% and see what's gonna make good out of it. =) yeah~

As a token of participation, everyone gets to receive a "Happenings" in Sarawak magazine. I also learnt few stuff from Alving Leong regarding photojournalism! By the way GOOD NEWS! According to Alvin Leong, if you join WPPM (Wedding and Portrait Photographers Malaysia) now till the end of this month, you can enjoy RM50 member fee exclusively for this year! ONLY VALID TILL THE END OF THIS MONTH! Normal fee is RM250! Please visit www.wppm.com.my for more information. If you want to be professional photographer, and polish your wedding and portrait photography skills, this is really a golden opportunity to be part of the member with just RM50!

Magenta at Old Court House

2011-05-23T23:55:00.000+08:00

Magenta Restaurant which was formerly situated at Nanas Road in the old days has now moved to Old Court House-one of the buildings with strong architectural heritage. Before it was moved here, the same owner opened another cafe namely "Magna Carta" and I believed most of the Kuchingnites knew about this famous dining place because of many good food reviews. Even though the location has been changed, I personally think it was for a good cause. Despite the locals, more people notice about this dining place especially the foreigners. It was even more strategic and convenient. The concept of the restaurant is still the same except some decor has been restructured. I picked this dining place as an experience to celebrate my guy's birthday because both of us never went there before. And yes we both like it very much :)

THE AMBIENCE:

Located in a historical site and a lush of tranquil setting, the interior sight is paved with oriental style with a big Buddha photo frame near the entrance. The service environment is pleasant because the placement of each tables and chairs made the space just comfortable as it's not too crowded yet not too isolated. The whole place is brighten with dim lights, which certainly portrayed out abit sentimental feel. Hence, it's definitely a lovely night out.

THE FOOD:

The menu features mainly western food ranging from Fushion to Italian style including pastas, salads, sandwiches, steaks, grilled and braised items, and also other finger food.

He ordered Vanilla Smoothies as usual.

And I ordered Hot Chocolate with marshmallows topping. Honestly I don't like marshmallows but the combination of this drinks complemented the taste of the marshmallows. For instant I thought I can't believe I like marshmallows. The hot chocolate drinks tasted so differently, it's not too sweetened yet tasted so individually strong with unique chocolates spices. I wondered where they get their ingredients from.

He ordered braised lamb shank and it was superb! One of the highlights of the night! I was surprised how they cooked and braised the lamb shank into succulent melt in our mouth goodness. The coated flavorful sauce was a thumbs up! They worked so well together to make the meat so moist and tender.

Next, I ordered Chicken Mexico and it turned out to be something like Chicken Cordon Bleu. It was so crispy in the exterior, and yet retaining the moisture of the meat inside, blending with the taste of ham and cheese perfectly. The mushroom dip sauce rounded up the dish beautifully.

THE PEOPLE:

Finally this is him. Just the night before he went bald. XD

This is me, I looked very noob here.

TADA!

Itemizations:

1. Dress that I bought online. It's Korean Fashion Toga Dress from SilkyTrend.com.

2. Vincci Heels

3. Vincci Vintage Bags

Overall, for first time experience, I rated this restaurant 8/10. It was great to dine in this place once awhile as the price was higher than our usual affairs. So, why not give it a try? if you are just like me :) Simply just check out their Facebook page for more info :D

9 Reasons For Donating Blood

2011-05-20T01:07:00.000+08:00

Okay, I was being tagged in a Facebook note and I found it's something very meaningful. It's time for me to do a good deed to wash away all my sins. So, here I am helping a friend of mine to promote this event. This is what you should know about common facts of donationg blood. I copy pasted the whole note, so is this consider plagiarizing? LOL. Ooops.

9 Reasons For Donating Blood

1. Someone needs blood every 3 seconds in this country. An average of 40,000 units are needed every day in the U.S. There is no substitute for human blood.

2. 60% of the population will need blood at some time in their lives, yet less than 5% of the population donates.

3. Disasters like car accidents, fires, and other trauma cases happen every day and these patients need blood, and rarely do they need only one pint. A bleeding trauma victim can run through 100 units of blood in no time.

4. In Central Florida, because of our growing and aging population, as well as the huge expansion of health care facilities, our blood usage is growing at three times the national rate. Blood usage outpaces donor collections.

5. If all eligible donors would donate on a regular basis, four to six times a year, blood needs would be met and shortages could be a thing of the past.

6. For decades this nation relied on a large pool of blood donors from "The Greatest Generation," the heroic World War II veterans who considered blood donation to be an on-going patriotic duty. Sadly, that generation is fast disappearing and other new donors are not stepping forward to replace them.

7. Donating blood is safe and a healthy thing to do. Not only do you get a free mini physical, including blood pressure check, heart rate, temperature and iron levels, but it's the fastest way to lose a pound!

8. For men, there is a life-saving benefit to donating blood. Men are at higher risk for "hemochromatosis or iron overload" a potentially deadly problem where too much iron builds up in the blood. It can lead to heart disease and other major health problems. Research shows if men give blood 3 times a year, they can reduce their iron overload and therefore their risk of a heart attack by as much as 50%!

9. Blood donors are true heroes. In fact, your one blood donation will be broken down into several components, enabling you, with just one donation, to save up to three lives!

So, guys!!! PLease donate blood to help the people who in needs!!!

There will be a Blood Donation CAmpaign ( Donate Blood To Save Life ) on

Date : 21st May 2011 ( Saturday )
Time : 8.45am - 2pm
Venue : Maybank, Kota Sentosa ( 7th miles )
Free gifts / tokens are provided for the successful donors..

PLease share this note to your friends to support this meaningful campaign.

p/s : For your own health and to save life, Start Donating you Previous Blood today!!! :)

Any further information needed, please call me (Yeo Hui Lin) at 016-8778171

THank you!!! =)

p/s: I still haven't got back my hardrives. No updates of my life till then. Blimey.

The Hoo-Hah

2011-05-18T00:35:00.000+08:00

Yes, it's been so long guys. Sorry for the absence of these few days. I was busy enjoying my life to the fullest, and of course I'm currently having throbbing pain resulting from too much self pampering. I've got alot of updates to blog about, but the pictures was still on hold because I got no time to edit it, and some copies were scattered in other hardrives. Nevertheless, I will try my best to cope with the lack of updates. Regarding this, I was in a conversation with few of my friends sharing the experience and the lesson that I learnt from my work just now. Some approved me, some disapproved me, some even told me everything that happened was ridiculous. Of course they were referring to the second party. One of the hoo-hah that I discovered from the previous post "lesson learnt in a hard way" was the incident that portrayed out there are many people out there that doesn't really understand the nature of a blog. One question, what's wrong with expressing your negative feelings in your blog? Where is the speech of freedom? If you think what I wrote is true and they are the facts that you can't accept it, will it be better if I talk behind you?

Quoting from anonymous Kxn again, what he/she said was"if anyone were to tell it to your face the truth abt wat they really think abt you, you know in all your being tat you cannot & will not accept it", so are you denying yourself? or are you afraid of me who looks through you? Oh well, the hoo-hah was disrupting my blogging ability because one elder told me not to over-expose myself in this blog by means of blogging everything out which makes me not a valuable person anymore. How should I listen to her advice since she herself doesn't really understand about the nature of a blog??? As much tumult and confusion has been conjured, I would be utmost grateful to be given opportunity to unclutter all the clutters, and to enhance my blogging writing skills.

Just so happened a friend invited me to this event on facebook. I found it quite interesting and particularly captured my attention since it also give us chance to learn few photography tips from Alvin Leong. If not wrong, I heard this is the first Sarawak Bloggers Talk which themed "More than a Blog". There are three invited speakers which all individually are experienced bloggers. The reason why I want to attend this event because I can learn about basic photography skills, I can enhance my blogging writing skills, and also get to know the way to make money through blogging. Seriously after the encounter with that elder, I was in a stage of dilemma whether the things that I blogged was right or wrong. By attending this talk, I can get to know the blogging ethics as well as a chance to upgrade my blog.

If you are having same problems as me, why not give yourself a chance to seek for a solution through this talk?

RSVP to this event quickly as seats are limited. For more information please click this link here.

Lesson learnt in a hard way

2011-05-03T15:33:00.001+08:00

Yes, so far I don't need 5 years as far as I'm concerned. Even now when I reviewed back my blog post, I felt parts of it are rubbish, ridiculous and funny. The intention of this blog was meant to be like that in the first place. A channel to unleash all my emotional imbalance and also a channel to release all the stressful and depression moments. Heck, I was being selfish all the time. What I care is to feel better rather than bottling up all the emotions. What I care is to channel out my frustration without caring what are the consequences thereof any. Yes, people judge me through reading my blog. I don't blame them because I resulted this situation. Now, people thought I'm a hardcore pessimistic person. I could have put private, I could have wrote in a diary, I could have find a friend and just blah everything out, but why blogging it out? Now, people thought they understand me so well through this blog of mine.

I remembered there was some anonymous, namely "Kxn", whom I thought he/she was spamming my blog post by commenting something ridiculous. But now in fact I realized the fact of what he/she's trying to say.

"if anyone were to tell it to your face the truth abt wat they really think abt you, you know in all your being tat you cannot & will not accept it"

Regarding the comment above, if you are reading this anonymous Kxn, there's someone finally told me face to face about what they really think about me. I accepted part of it and I seriously felt the impact of it. Yes, this is the first time I had people rejecting me so much until I don't even have chance of explaining anything. Through this distressing experience I learnt a lesson, which is in a hard way. I'm grateful that I'm finally free from this burden. The harsh words determined my decision that I'm right this time, no more doubts, no more dilemma.

ellyin2u is a blog full with emo post. I should start to filter this blog and make it a more happier ellyin2u. Of course, I don't like pretending and utmost impressed by those who used to pretend so much in their life. From the author of the book "How to enjoy your life and your job" by Dale Carnegie, I've realized that the biggest mistake people make in applying for jobs is in not being themselves.

So, I will continue to find myself and be myself, because there is no one else on earth like me, Elly Chong is a special individual. I will outperform those who ever look down on me, I will prove to them I'm not what they thought I'm ought to be, I'm strong and pretty and I will have faith that my future is going to be bright and shine. Just wait and see.

Fun things during KL trip last week!

2011-05-02T13:05:00.000+08:00

Actually I was abit struggling what to blog next and should I blog this up as well? But in the end I think I should have finished what I've started. As I've promised earlier I'm gonna continue blog about my KL trip. This is the fun part. It would be all photos because I lazy to describe too much about it.

My boss daughter 16 burthday. Hahaha see the pet dog, Queenie??? She was staring at the icecream cake but couldn't eat it..too bad~ she's very cute la~

The boss son, and he made me a smiley sauce. Cute aint it?

Dinner at the New York Deli. The portion is scary @_@"

The sausages that we can eat when we are on program! Nice German sausages!!!

Finally me and my manager! She's my idol and the person that I wanted to be when I'm at her age. I respected her so much.

Well, I guess that's all. I've no choice but to keep things short because of limited time. Yesterday I just realized I'm such an influential person. LOL. And there are actually people who are looking up at me so every words that I post in here or somewhere else I need to be responsible of it.

Try to think at other perspectives, if they are strong individual and didn't had the loophole in their heart, are they going to be easily influenced by me? Who am i? I'm just ordinary nobody, super normal human being. The question lies within what is the cause of their actions rather than blaming me for they being influenced by me. Like the old saying, always point your finger back to yourself.

-ps: Never judge the book by its cover.

It's all about food!

2011-04-28T23:27:00.001+08:00

Of course during the one week in KL I enjoyed alot of good meals as well. Thanks to the boss and my manager and the maids there, I never starve when I was on training for one week, instead I put on weight omg! I'm now 49kg. DAMN!!! I used to be 47-48kg T_T Arghhhhhhhhh.....

Bak Kut Teh restaurant near Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam. I had dinner with my colleagues and boss. Nice gravy with tender and juicy pork meat!!! And the yaw cha kwai very nice oso!!! slurp slurp!

Then on the second day the boss forgot about me and Vanessa, so we went for dinner ourselves. Can you imagine this was the first time we tried Domino's?? LOL! Practically I like the crust but I don't like the filling. @_@" I prefer the real Italian style pizza.

This is wantan mee that we ate at Banting! LOL! the wantan is inside the soup instead with the noodles. I was shocked for awhile because I tot there was no wantan =_=" really innocent..the bbq pork tasted so nice lar!

Also the following night we had dinner at some noodle house somewhere at Puchong area. My goddd the portion super big la..@_@" we ordered too much and my manager and my colleague had to finish the rest as I'm a super small eater hehehe :P

Um, due to time constraints I can't really blog too much because I don't really had time to edit those pictures. So I guess that's all for now. Going to sleep soon anyways. Btw our company will gonna have roadshow at Boulevard Shopping Mall tomorrow for the next three days. So come visit us as we offer many free gifts! Aha, I'm going to introduce you my colleague and also my manager in the next post so stay tuned! XD

Sacrificing and Opportunity Cost

2011-04-27T23:31:00.000+08:00

Is it an universal rule that you have to sacrifice something in order to gain something? What would be the best opportunity cost when making decision?? Pain and loss? OR loss and pain?? Can't we choose what we have to sacrifice? But how are we going to value the price?

My parents used to make decision for me in my life. Now, when suddenly I have to make decision for my own future path, I seriously don't have any idea how or whatsoever. I never dare to dream because my parents don't let me to do so. I don't have any things that I want because my parents taught me not to be greed of something we can't afford of. Now, when people asked "what do you really want? what do you really like?", the best thing I could do is answering with stuttered lapses. I SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW. I'm such a failure who cannot walk out from my past. During the past one week of KL training trip, I realized it's very hard to find passion into the work that you do. Like I mentioned, some people are lucky enough to find it, some might not being able to search for it. I like baking, I like blogging, I like fashion, I like photography. But when it comes to earning money for living, can the things that I like support my expenses in my everyday life? The world is realistic and super irony, what you like to do is not the work or job that can bring you to prosper in the future. Of course, sustaining a work without liking the job also proved to be not viable. It's all depends on passion. Then is my passion stay with TROIS? What is passion then??? URghhh...

Almost every people that I've met recently asked me what is my passion. They said it all depends on me, the heart and the mind. But currently my mind and heart all fulled with money. $$. I need to get a DSLR by this year end. It's already the end of April. Eight more months to save money to achieve my short term goal which equally means I don't have much time left if I continuously cannot hit my sales target. Sometimes I wonder why am I doing sales while I hate it so much??? But sales generate the most income so why do I still cannot possessed that skill?? Why do I feel so tired even when I heard the word "sales"? I'm a marketing student and yet I hate sales??? Wtf man, everything sounds super absurd. I find it ridiculous dumb.

Help me.

Back Again, But Differently.

2011-04-27T00:59:00.000+08:00

Yes, sorry for the lack of updates. I've just reached Kuching this afternoon and I straight headed to the office to settle few things. And I didn't even have time to meet my parents after freaking one week long. To be honest, I really appreciated the chances this company gave me by sponsoring me tickets to fly to KL headquarter for training. I've learnt alot through this trip, in fact I learnt more about this company and I slowly understand how this company works. I'm super impressed by how young the CEO was to establish this company and all the courages he built within to started this business. I'm even impressed by how strong the team he possessed with my respected COO and also my "Master", the headquarter's manager. Previously I felt so damn dilemma about my working life but now I guess there are no more doubts. Seriously, every staff in HQ are super nice. The COO treated me well by willing to direct me and pinpoint out where my mistake is. I felt so grateful to her because she somehow waken me up. For everything or every job or every single person that I met, even the manager herself told me "You need to have passion in order to excel, otherwise you will find it very hard and difficult to maintain." when I asked her did she feel any tiring when serving loads of customers. She found her passion in this job and I'm still in the middle of nowhere. I trusted this brand because the product itself already very promising. The purpose of TROIS INTERNATIONAL is to empowering people through greater wellness by setting up a transformation journey towards a more successfully existence.

This is the video that the CEO showed us last week. It's really gross and till now I don't dare to watch it for second time. All I wanted to say is think before you realize any actions. And also whatever to do with drugs or injections are dangerous because they carry high risk. So our duty is to educate customers to choose the right product that can really help them, not just some expensive treatment with drugs which can cause you pain like in the video above for lifetime.

More upcoming news regarding KL training trip next post! Stay tuned~

Dilemma

2011-04-15T23:22:00.001+08:00

I'm in dilemma again. I am seriously very unsure about my own feelings right now. Mixed and complicated and somehow I really hate myself. Bye.

Monday Blues

2011-04-11T22:22:00.001+08:00

I was being lectured by my so called boss this late afternoon. The whole scenario get so fired up until I feel like I can scream at her anytime, but in fact I didn't and I'm trying my best suppressing my emotions. I kept smiling and smiling at her but I didn't know whether she realized that it's a truly sarcastic smile. This is the fourth month I entered that company, that particular office. One my of colleagues left because of me, accusing me for telling her the "truth" which she though it was not meant like that from what the initial first party has declared to her. She made such decision after listening to me, and I was totally unaware of it that telling the truth can be so much troublesome. I felt angry at myself for being busybody, for what I care so much and talk extra thing especially telling this particular truth and caused such nuisance?? No matter how I explained to her, she just left with anguish and still blaming me. Another colleague was trying to be kind hearted but sometimes she conveyed the wrong message to other people, which makes the whole situation-even worst. Now the so called boss blamed me for doing things by my own, without asking permission from the authority. Remember the photoshooting advertisement from my previous post?? Yes, I edited that, and yes I used the lady inside the picture for newspaper advertisement. Yes, my colleague ever advised me not to use the lady inside because it's misleading. I wasn't listening to her so now here is the consequences, the boss said I simply made my own decision and the KL company can sue me over copyright issue. So, she asked me to explain myself and she said she will act innocent if KL happened to find fault in me.

As an employer, it's cool enough you don't protect your own employees, but don't you feel any responsibilities that any results from my decision is caused by your misleading "instructions"???? SERIOUSLY?!?! Yes, I asked whether can put advertisement and you said yes and you even told me not to tell KL about it. So I figured out "don't tell KL" means keep it as a secret?? After that you just left and travelling to Thailand for freaking one week long. I tried to call you but you switch off your handphone. I was so dilemma by that time because I duno what to do anymore and who to consult and our time is running out. If you think that I'm sound like finding excuses for myself, I'm not. So, I'm taking the responsibilities and making my own decision by that time. Now, if you want to sue me, I welcome you. I come clean I don't want any person to stain my name with the things that I've been accused for.

I also recently just found out that one of the colleague was being "_______" due to her vicious facebook status regarding the company or the boss. I'm wondering by blogging out my feelings through this personal public blog would also put me in the same situation???

This is stupid.

What I want

2011-04-05T15:10:00.001+08:00

What is exactly the thing that I wanted in my life???
Be it long term, short term, or just currently now, what is exactly what I want seriously???

It was super normal for some people to ponder around this questions and asked themselves:"what do I really want?" all the time, sometimes, or part of the time. That's life I assumed. Some people may never find the answer, and some people just lucky enough to find it before they get tripped down by some evil forces of the "life". I'm currently in Swinburne University, my ex's campus library. LOL. I'm glad that I met two of my "references" in my resume today, whom used to be my fav lecturers while I was in my degree program. Well, I got few inspiration or revelation of some facts throughout the chit chatting session with one of them. Now, for current state, although my current job really prepares good platform for me to develop better in the future, but the opportunity cost would be the time consumed to reach that kind of stage. For now, I'm a fresh graduant with zero working experience. I have certain life goals at certain age to reach. Therefore, if the time consumed is way too long in order to achieve my life goals, then the current job won't be suitable for me. I know that, what I want now is working experience with some directions and training given in order to develop and polish myself before I can handle a gruesome battlefield. Right now, I'm almost clear what I want and I won't regret if whatsoever decision that I altered from the beginning.

心痛

2011-04-03T00:27:00.001+08:00

心痛犹如心如刀割。。
很想说却说不出。。竟说出一些后悔的话。。
再怎么样都好，我其实自己也明了。。。
我知道我很情绪化，我也知道我心思敏感。。
我承认我偶尔想太多，我也承认我很容易被他人所影响。。
我也承认我很在乎别人对我的看法。。尤其是自己的爱人。。
因此当被他们误解时，就会积极的去争辩，
因为，这并不是你所想要表达的。。。但他的一句话：如果你不肯接受事实，再怎么说也没用。。。这时该怎么办？难道只好选择沉默吗？
如果争辩被视为抵赖，那以后要怎样沟通好呢？？？
好想好想告诉他我所有的心事，好让他哄哄我，让心情舒服些。。
好想好想把那些说不出口的话告诉他，只期盼他会静静的待在我身边，安抚我就够了。
我的要求真的很过分吗？

我没有刁难他，只是因为本性心思敏感，所以一点点小事都可以心碎。。
我真的并不是故意的，因为我的这样的缺点造成他人的困扰。。
我要怎么改掉这个坏习惯好呢？？？？？？？

心痛，并不是因为他所说的话，而是因为我的执着与缺点影响了整个关系。。。
我要怎样學會為自己的情緒負責而不依賴另一人的幫助？？？？？？

谁在体谅谁？又有谁懂谁的想法？？？？

真的不希望演变成以下的叙文...T_T

【有些男人以為戀愛很容易，只要花點時間問問︰「吃飽了沒？」之類言不及義的屁話，偶爾一起吃吃飯、看看電影，就等於戀愛還在繼續。但是，你如果真的這樣做，你會發現女人其實很寂寞，到頭來你才知道你根本不懂她在想什麼，
等你知道戀愛要「用心」才能繼續的時候，女人早就已經決定離開你了。】

有一种说不出的伤感。。。

2011-03-31T22:34:00.000+08:00

当自己又是一个人的时候，不禁的伤心起来。

那种伤心的程度，是用什么都无法言语的。

眼泪在眼眶中打转，顿时世界由清晰变模糊。

我问自己：到底在伤心些什么？

是怎样都说不出来。。。

也不知道为什么会这样。。。

复杂，好复杂哦。。一切变得复杂起来！！

越想越难过。。。不知道该怎么办才好。。

我讨厌现在的我！

22 years old

2011-03-27T17:58:00.000+08:00

So as you can see from the title post, I'm officially 22 years old today. Yup, today is my burthday. TADA~! Well, this year was rather peaceful and meaningful. Hahahaha although it was not that exciting and surprising like las year but I appreciated very much for all the effort and time for those in helping me celebrating my burthday. Not to forget the cake, I got a homemade cream-O cheesecake from my besties this year, FIRST TIME!!! Gosh, never been so touched before because I never thought I would receive a homemade cheesecake for my burthday, otherwise usually it's me who will be giving out cheesecakes for love's one :D Teehee! Also the present, very blessed to receive such presents esp the one from him. SUPER MEANINGFUL! hahahah I'm not going to disclose the present type here hehe. Thanks everyone!!!! Thanks for the pressie!!! Thanks for the wishes!!! I felt great this year for having loads of blessed wishes from various friends!!! I LOVE U GUYS!!! Elly now doesn't reject celebrating burthday, good news aint ya? It was a blessed day that she will appreciate it always.

The feeling of being 22 doesn't change much from last year. It's still the same except this year was volatile for me as I'm entering into a new life stage. New environment made me scared and sometimes doubted myself for my own ability and my own true will.

TADA! Me and my burthday cake!! Thanks guys!! :D :D :D

My cream-O homemade cheesecake! The one I mentioned above! Loving it!

They helped me celebrated on Friday night!

We were at Chef At Home! XD

Yeahhhh finally a group pic!! XD

On the 26th March, which was last night my burthday eve, D brought me to this newly opened restaurant to celebrate my birthday! :D

TADA! It's Big Oven! Evangeline recommended this place! XD

I like him in checkered shirts!

MEeee...looked so tired after working!

We ordered earl grey tea!

He ordered pork chop!!

and this is my portion! Spaghetti carborana..super nice!! The standard is almost up to Bella Italia's. So, can you guess how scrumptious this piece of pasta can be??

we ordered apple crumble for dessert! XD yummy!

Finally we!! XD heheehhe..Well the concept of Big Oven is somewhat like Delizze, just that they don't have pastrami salami section :D Overall great experience! :D

-Will update soon on today's celebration :D stay tuned!-

勉强

2011-03-24T00:24:00.000+08:00

难道我是在勉强我自己吗？
难道我是在欺骗我自己的感情吗？
难道这一切我太过于自信了吗？
虽然很羡慕其他人，但难道我就没有选择权去变成像其他人一样吗？
还是说我太不知足了？
对于现在的金钱状况，我正在面临手头很紧的问题。
凭我现在的收入，根本不可能满足我所需的基本需求与一些生活要求。
凭我现在的工作环境，根本不可能立刻能达到我心中的销售目标，以取多一点的个人佣金与额外津贴。

虽然我是大学生，但是毕业出来的工作的底薪最少是RM1500，
扣来扣去，根本没存到一笔紧急金，也更不用谈储蓄了。。
这样我要以什么来达到我的梦想呢？？？
虽然老板说，这份工将是我发展未来的平台，但是有时候我犹豫了。。
我开始怀疑我到底要的什么。。我的能力是什么。。
是一份很高薪水的工作？还是薪水低不过可以吸取较多的经验的工作？？？
好矛盾！

虽然我告诉自己，不用操心elly。。钱不是问题，最重要是吸取经验先。。
只要努力金钱自然就会有。。但有时我在想，这样会不会太单纯了点？
虽然我告诉自己，elly想开点，正面一点，也许这一切并没有想象中的那么厌恶，
我是这样安慰我自己的。当然，每个人都希望能找份自己喜欢做的工作。。。
但，如果再努力也达不到销售目标那该怎么办？？？
我应该勉强的做下去，还是找份薪水高的工作？？？
还是还有更好的选择呢？？我到底值多少？？？每个老板都所“栽培人才”。
凭什么那么肯定认为我就是你们所谓的“人才”呢？？

咳。。我需要钱T_T 钱啊啊啊啊啊～

How to write event newspaper announcement?

2011-03-21T16:23:00.000+08:00

I have so many things to do, dealing with colleagues, dealing with deadlines, dealing with exams, dealing with money, dealing with aging, and also dealing with strangers. I couldn't believe my eyes, for once I'm so busy entertaining those who intend to hurt me in the end. So wacko and yet so stupid. Normally I would just say "so far so good" when people asked "how's life". There is no prevailing history that I would let myself fall beyond my performance, hence I need to work hard either at my current job or my personal life. I guess I've learnt a lesson from social media networking. People might overused it and started to spam on people's wall. Or exposing too much details of your everyday life in this social media sites increases the risk of getting people to judge you for what you do instead of judging you for who you are. That's what I heard from D. Sigh...whatever.

Anyways, I'm currently cracking my head thinking of how to write an event newspaper announcement. Some sort of press release...this is so hard because since I'm a perfectionist, I tend to spend longer time researching of writing the best report ever. And the problem is I don't have enough time. Feel like banging myself on the wall..zzz

I heard this song from Hitz this noon, and it reminds me alot of things. I want to share it here though it's an old song. So please enjoy~

2011-03-17T18:18:00.000+08:00

Elly Fads

2011-03-17T00:24:00.000+08:00

I know, I know there are certain people who likes to gossip behind me. There are alot of "Elly Fads" going on. People are interested in me but they kinda over-exaggerated it. So, when fads goes too far it becomes a gossip. Like, I know there are friends or human beings keep commenting on my current job behind me. C'mon if you have any doubts I would always welcome you to ask me face to face instead of jumping into your own conclusions. Please do not judge me by what I do, because you don't even understand. I am standing here doing the things you can't even possible can handle it. I'm pushing myself towards my limits because nobody knows how far I can go. I know what kind of decision I should make for myself. If you are my friends, please support me instead of "gossip" behind me. If you feel unhappie about my decision, why bother? Because you care about me?? Or you just simply jealous I'm more advance than you in terms of life development?

Elly Fads No.1:
1. Elly so skinny already why she still on program? IS SHE CRAZY? DON'T SHE KNOW SHE WILL HAVE SIDE EFFECT??

Okay, regarding this you don't have to worry. I'm totally sane and I AM NOT CRAZY. I am now on program because I wanted to know how does it feel like to be on this weight management program. As a consultant, if I never try the product itself, how am I gonna convince people and consult my customers whenever they face any problems?? I'm trying to carry out my professionalism okay?? By the way, it doesn't matter whether I'm skinny or not because you don't even know what's the program all about or how does it work actually, and you already jump into your own conclusions. I know I ever mentioned that I wanted to reach 46kg, but if I can lose weight healthily why not? 46kg is my ideal weight and it's a model type of body shape where I can build more confidence in my outer appearance. I have nothing to worry about my inner beauty because I know I'm already pretty from the inside, what I'm lacking of is confidence of the outside look. The studio photoshooting has made a big improvement of my confidence level because I know I looked pretty in some way. Furthermore, I'm only borrowing this opportunity to see whether I can lose till 46kg or not because the program that I bought is only for 8 days and if I didn't follow the corrective diet regime I'm still maitaining my current weight. BY THE WAY, how come you guys can act like you know more about the program than me?? It's 85 nutritions inside and there are not side effects at all. Except I was having insomnia the past few weeks because I'm too tension and stressed about the result and my work. But now everything is fine already. I AM FINE.

2. How come Elly always tagged us those weird weird event or what? What kind of job she's doing? So weird one?

Excuse me, I'm not doing weird weird job okay -_-" If my company is organizing some sort of events, I will create a facebook event and invite everyone. It's a legal event with the brand name of my company. If I randomly tagged u guys in a link or some sort of video which shows other events, sorry guys it's not my company event la because i thought sharing is caring mah. If you don't like it straight say la I won't tag next time lo. By the way, I might complaint alot of things on my current job, but now I've clear my doubts and I strongly believe I can, yes you can.

3. Is that really Elly in that picture? Eh you believe it's her or not? Probably photoshop out de leh..

Excuse me, I said thousand times already that's really me, ME, MEEEEE. Guys and girls, makeup can really do wonders. I oso can't believe that's actually me at first sight. Slowly I convinced myself, "hey I can portray out another side of me not bad leh". Whether you like it or not, believe it or not, that's really me. Okay, there are some editing done on the picture. Of course not to exclude photoshop. But the guy only edited my skin complexion like my pimples and scars everything was gone. But, the original part is still me lying there. Do you know the photographer adjust me for so long hours just to capture that kind of feel? He complaint that I'm having stiff face and my facial expressions were too drab, wha the hell =_="

Okay that's all. If there's any future fads, I will make a statement to clear everything. I seriously don't like to hear anything "false" information regarding me myself. That's all. Thanks and sorry if I offended those out there. 如有雷同，纯属巧合。

I am back again!

2011-03-15T00:50:00.000+08:00

We are now entering month of March and it's like I'm already working for two months plus. I just got back from KL for the Lady Beautiful Fair which was held at Putra World Trade Center. I really had a nice experience with my boss and also the people there. Firstly I made friends with consultants of other states, also I gained new experience of being a professional consultant. I went for my first studio photoshooting which I'm gonna post it up later on (don't be too shock). hahahhaha. But the most important stuff is, I cleared my doubts and i gained whole new perspective. If i just called it off right now, then I'm too weak to be independent in the future. TROIS is certainly the platform to train and polish me to become a performer and also an entrepreneur. Yeah, many people asked how come I'm still holding on, well I decided to take the route that nobody's taken. If your life started too smoothly, you get higher possibility to collapse when u faced failure or obstacles. So, I decided to challenge myself, challenge my patience, like my lady boss said "Push yourself towards the limits." Though, my own dream career is to establish my own brand name for my own designated clothes and accessories :)

It's all about food this month!

I think this is chicken chop. I went to a sharing night at Frenz & Family.

I super love fish and chips :P

I oso went to some buffet dinner talk at Hilton :)

The cakes and desserts :D

Cold appetizers! Well, so sorry guys I'm not going to do a food review here because the pictures was so long ago and I'm running out of time..so please bear with it ok? Overall the food tasted nice :)

Salad me love :)

This is KetoEssentials weight management program. Well, I already had 4 customers on hand. And some of them are willing to feedback me their feelings during the ongoing weight loss program. Sometimes I just listen but it doesn't make any points because I don't understand about it at all. So in order to better understand my customer situation, I bought one box to experiment myself. So they have two colors in the packet.

and this is the other color. Normally we need to take 3 sachets a day and it has been all formulated so everything was quite convenient. I've stop this program due to KL trip, but I'm going to resume the program tomorrow. Anyhow I will post up the results here once I finished the 8 days program. LOL I hope I can reach my target weight 46 kg :P

And it tasted just like cocoa or chocolates without sugar. :)

This is my colleague, Caren hahahaha. I captured this for fun. She looked like she's super tired and the mind is wandering off somewhere else :D

As I've mentioned earlier, I met new friends during the roadshow at pwtc. Here with me now is Jessica. She is super funny and warm hearted. Likes to joke around and pretty easy going. I really like her alot!

Another consultant namely Winnie. She's witty, caring and loveable! hahahaha same as Jessica I like her alot too! XD

This is Bobo, her name is just as cute as her. Very straightforward and innocent as well hahahhaha.

My last night in KL I drank Bombay Sapphire. It was just little bit of it and I was tipsy and got rashes all over my body the next day. Till now my hand is still swelling especially my fingers T_T

Finally this is me! Taken by Jekxin from Studio M. Rome Photoshooting which is this coming 16th and 17th of April will also be taken by Studio M team. Everyone gets 16 poses to shoot. Hehehe so any comments? How was I looked like? Weird? Ugly? Speechless? Supermodel?

I guess that's all. I need to plan out my activities throughout the whole 2011 year of my life. Elly you can do it!

-Will update soon-

Restart

2011-03-06T00:10:00.000+08:00

If only my life has a restart button, perhaps making choices or bringing up a decision won't be that hassle anymore. You are not afraid of regrets, or the negative impacts beyond your choices. But, surreal enough we all know it's impossible to restart everything. If it costs you 20 years, you need another 20 years to restart again. *laughs* The question is, can you afford to start all over again from scratch???

I am fortunate enough to be able to finish my degree, to be able to be healthy and living with both my parents and family beside me. However, there's always this loophole. What really matters in my life? It took some time for others to figure it out, for me until now I never did. Just barely imagine, have you ever walk alone in the mall with no specific reason and stroll until you felt like your legs are breaking? Have you ever sat on one corner of the restaurant and ate silently until you are actually sobbing? Have you ever sat at the toilet bowl of one cubicle of the public toilet and stared for like 10 mins? Have you ever drive your car on the road and often imagine how nice if you actually involve in a car accident? Some people said this is depression, but it's not really. Does running away from the reality eventually heals all my emotional wounds????

Sigh, what is reality then? One of the journals written in "My Voices" by 77th Street sounds like this:

What is life?
Life is the vessel that sustains us.
What is hope?
Hope is the force that instills faith
What is knowledge?
Knowledge is the tool to elevate ourselves.
What is real?
Reality is what we choose to be.

So, reality is what we choose to be huh...I seriously doubted it. As you all probably know, I'm not good in delivering my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, there's not even a word to describe how I actually feel. I did ever try to explain to people out there, but all I got is just some ridiculous comments who didn't even took seriously of my problem. That's why most of the time I will try my best to blog it out because it is the only way to channel my frustration. But, this time I can't blog it out. It's something I should have never let other people to know. I'm tired of lying and I'm sick of keeping secrets. My current state of life makes me feel super insecure. I don't know where to go, how to stop, when to jump. I don't know what is real, what is not real. I tried so hard to be my parents' obedient daughter, trying to fit into their criteria of "Elly" until I realized I dunno who am I anymore. I don't know what I want, what I needed, what I hated. I don't even know are those my dreams? or some dreams that other people imposes on me? 16 years old Lily managed to speak the sound of my heart.

She said:

Embarking on a life journey is tough. You will trip over potholes, or perhaps slut into quicksand. Many people say "Life is like that" but tell me, how many of them handle these well? Some decide to end their life, some turn to drugs or alcohol. It is difficult to find someone who actually leads a perfect life without meeting temptations and failures, Some hide behind a masked face, trying so hard to be like somebody, a somebody. But often fail, and never realize that being yourself is actually more important than any thing else.
Everyone goes through life, some eventually find what they need, some never did. Life's unfair, we all know that. All these are faults of the earth that are hard to erase. I believe as long as one finds the key to life, life would be lived worthwhile.

She was right, I'm the one who never did know what I want. Till now, what do I really like? What do I really want? Confused. I seriously can't take it anymore. There are two voices fighting inside my head, intensifying all the insecureness which eventually swallowing me up. Suddenly it all turned into hatred. I hate myself, I hate my life, I hate everything connected to me. I will take some times to retreat myself, until then please don't ask what happened, everytime I thought about it and it hurts. I will take some times to heal my emotional wounds.

Can't stop looping this song "All my life I've been good but now, whoa, what the hell" Yeah, what the hell.

I AM NUMBER 4?

2011-03-01T18:30:00.000+08:00

Originally I was intended to blog a review on "I AM NUMBER FOUR" movie, however my hands held back and I couldn't stop thinking on how ridiculous I am last time, or for the past few years. When I re-read the post that I blogged few years back, I couldn't stop laughing ya know? It's like "WHAT THE HELL??", "DID I SAID ALL THOSE STUFF???" I just felt that I'm so not mature few years ago. As I've probably mentioned thousands times in my blog, my life is a mess. Indeed it never changed. I'm still in a mess. My blog is the best proof of showing my "growing up" process. All those memories, words and pictures, was the living proof that I'm still existing in this world, trying hard to survive.

That's it. I'm running out of words to continue this post anymore. By the way, you guys should really watch "I am Number 4". It's a sci-fic thriller with hot babes and guys :)

No Strings Attached

2011-02-23T00:28:00.002+08:00

Well, I watched the trailer of this movie and it was so funny and interesting. Moreover, I love Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Natalie Portman won the best actress for the movie "Black Swan", one of the best movie I've watched so far. Christopher Ashton Kutcher is just too hot that melts the hearts of every single lady in this house. Awwww, I honestly thought it would be damn nice..but however some part of the movie was cut and some conversation was censored. Hmmm...abit disappointed though.

This is the trailer and if you notice you will know what's the difference between the movie shown and the trailer. LOL, typical Malaysia's phenomena. Well, this movie is so sweeet, Adam (Ashton Kutcher) made a period mix song for Emma (Natalie Portman). Awww! How many guys would do that?? This is so creative ya know? And one quote from Patrice when they having menstrual pain "It's like a crime scene in my pants" LOL! EXACTLY! Even though it was a comedy, but it was very realistic unlike Korean movie which is more to romance and fairy tale storyline.

So guys, go watch it now! Strongly recommended by Elly =) Good nights!

Advertorial Column

2011-02-22T01:14:00.003+08:00

Okay, one thing I discovered the moment I joined this company is that, they have a very good and promising product, but somehow lacking some channel or medium to promote the products to their respective target market. Although they have nationwide advertisement in the sisters magazine, however the market in Kuching is still unaware of the brand "TROIS".

The ads in sisters magazine. [Click to enlarge]

So, in terms of marketer's point of view, immediately what you would think of is you need to increase your brand awareness. It would be best if you can raise your brand equity too through the publicity of advertisement. So, the creative design of the advertisement is very important so that you can own as many impression as possible for your target market. As we all know that, advertising in newspaper is not cheap, yet not that expensive compared with TV and Radio's ads. The target audience would be scattered across the region depends how much you can deliver your message to your target audience. Since the target audience is large, there would be alot of clutter in delivering your message. So, newspaper tools was often used as publicity in gaining awareness rather than using it to increase more sales.

What I'm doing now is using blog to gain publicity. So, in terms of marketing side, it's called social media marketing. Blog is also known as ‘web publishing’, which can be defined as social media platforms that gain feedback from large audience by allowing users to post or publish content (National Archives and Records Administration 2010). The company can use blog as vehicles for advertising in the virtual world as it is effective, low-cost medium to build increased awareness, acquire and retain customers, tap into customer insights, and drive more sales (An Oracle White Paper 2009). From what I heard, the COO of the company owned a blog too, but somehow it's outdated. They even owned a Facebook site however, it's outdated too.

One day during the APM meeting I asked the CEO, "why is the Facebook page so outdated? Nobody managing it?" Well, guess what? He gave me the answer that I was expecting, abit disappointing though. Like many other business who involved in e-marketing, social media sites has become a trend to build trust and relationships with existing and new prospects, build brand, form new relationships and also gives the opportunity for your content to go viral (be reposted, re-tweeted, shared by others). There are always some company who chose not to own a Facebook page. The reason? Well, they don't want to set a trap for themselves by creating a platform for others to write bad things about them. Perhaps, the CEO was thinking "why should we make our own platform to let people complaint about my products or services and spread rumours about me?" If you are so sure about your product, why not? If you are the owner of the Facebook site, you can block or remove offensive commentators, or report this person to Facebook's PR management. You can control your page and edit or remove unwanted sections. When people complaints, you get to improve your service quality and enhance your reliability. Have you ever heard of the phrase "customers who complains is the firm's friends"? Complaints are valuable in a sense that when a customer complains it’s an ideal opportunity to restore goodwill, build stronger relationships and improve services. If the firm managed to handle the complaints successfully, customers are likely to prove more loyal than if nothing had gone wrong. Besides, people who willing to complain are rare because by nature people don’t really like to complain. They don’t want to be as seen as pushy individuals who force others to attend to their interests. However, those who choose to complain may be alerting you to a problem experienced by many others who silently took their custom elsewhere.

Hence I think it's a pity for them to abandon the tools for social media marketing such as Facebook and blog. Well, nevermind about that, I'm gonna do some advertorial column here! Hope you guys don't mind! :D

Annual Prosperity Meeting 2011

2011-02-21T22:55:00.001+08:00

Tada! I'm back again! Sorry for the lack of updates. I was extremely busy with my life since I started working. It's like I'm having insufficient time. Most of my time was spent for resting and relaxing. It's not like I'm having super heavy workloads, but I'm stressed and my brain cells is killed each day at the office. The so called manager kept pressuring us...but luckily the KL's management asked me no need to be stressed so much. However, I'm worried that I will be sacked sooner or later because I can't hit the sales target. Honestly I'm not really a sales person. I don't really like to go out and find people to do sales. I prefer to close sales when there's direction or instruction from the authority to ask me secure the business deal. Do you get what I mean? Do u see the difference between the two statements above? Yeah, I like to do event, I like to do marketing stuff, I can do sales provided that I'm instructed and given direction of meeting who and whatsoever or which company. Yeah, that's more like it you know..? My target is to get myself a DSLR within this year. Then sign up for photography course next year :D I want to get a certificate of photography at least. As for master program, I think after five years I'm gonna resume my study and further my education by advancing in master program. Of course, at the same time I'm still adapting myself with the business environment and module of the company that I'm working right now despite of some culture shock last week in KL during the Annual Prosperity Meeting 2011. And for security purpose, I'm seeking other jobs at the same time for a better alternatives.

So, on the 15th Feb, I flew to KL in the morning :D

It was my first time using Firefly flight. Honestly, the plane was better than AirAsia and for the first time I don't have any ear pain caused by the air pressure. How amusing is that.

My only entertainment on the flight was reading magazine. It was Kudang magazine for February. I remembered one phrase from Sarah Lian-"When you feel raw about your dream, you always feel naked." Therefore, it's called "naked ambition". By reading her column, she inspired me alot. Man, she's gorgeous and successful at this age. Wish I can be like her too.

Tada! The theme of the year "I Believe I can!" :) The APM for Trois International was held at Kota Permai Golf and Country Club :D At that moment I had a vacation mood stirred in my mind..ahhh...

For the two days of meeting, we ate buffet lunch! :D

Merlot red wine for dinner on the first night :D Though I didn't had a sip of it but I'm surprised by the size of this bottle. LOL.

TADA! My most favourite part of all...this is what we called "yee sang" or cantonese people said "Lou Sang" :D

Preparing the dish by pouring in all the sauce and seasoning!

"Lou" ah "lou" ah "lou" ahhhhh....may all the prosperity spread to all of us!!!

If only I can skinny dip in this poool.....wootz!!

On the way back to Kuching, I discovered that my "manager" was not a bad person after all, eventhough she kept pressuring us and put so high expectation on us and sometimes scolded us for good reasons. Hmmm, honestly I'm still adapting. I suddenly realized my adaptability was not that high afterall. Lol, this company is really fascinating as in very weird and the business module was even odd because I never met something like this before (not even in the textbook). This job is challenging and it is challenging my patience and endurance right now. I'm gonna fly to KL again in two weeks time. This time, I'm gonna join the HQ staff for the PWTC roadshow which is on the 11th-13th March. Can't wait!

And after back home, it was chap goh mei. Tada, cold hot dishes together! :D

And "yee sang' again at Lok Thian Restaurant! This time is really "yee sang" because got salmon fish inside! XD My all time fav~~

Happie V's Day

2011-02-13T23:27:00.001+08:00

It's V's Day tomorrow. To be frank this year we are trying to cut cost and experience a low cost V's Day. Don't you think it's kinda waste of money to dine out or buy flowers on V's Day? It's super expensive and flowers withered just like that -_____-" People are getting smarter and smarter today by having this pricing strategy on this occasional day to target loving couples for their value added services. Marketers are brilliant too by delivering messages to consumers that V's Day is special day not only for couples but also for single couple by arranging events for them too. Aha, what so important on V's Day? So important for people to willing to burn hole in their wallet? Most men and women spent most of their money on Valentines gift and it's a day to express love and affection. I remembered during my secondary school time, guys bought flowers to the girls they like even though they are not couple yet. If the girl like it, probably you will receive some reply on white V's day which is March 14.

Well, if you are same like me, trying to cut cost on V's Day..now you can enjoy baking your own homemade chocolates to your love one. Handmade stuff or chocolates are super popular because it shows out your effort in doing it. People will appreciate more if they learned that this stuff is not anything that you can see or buy at other places :) For me, this year I'm going to have a beach gateway from this hectic city. Ahhh it's time to relax before going off KL.

So, I promised to upload more pics on CNY. So tada!

me and dad at grandma house :D *hugs*♥

me and mum *hugssss* ♥

Finally me and him...Happie V's Day! More pics will be uploaded! Stay tuned~!!

-Will update soon-

P/s: Btw don't worry guys, I'm recovering now :) today is the most happiest working day I ever had. Hehe...

Happie Bunny Year :)

2011-02-12T22:40:00.000+08:00

Harlow everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. Many things happened recently, not to mention my health status. I was sick since yesterday, now recovering. Hopefully I can regain my health status by Valentines Day. Sigh...I spent RM440.30 for an abdomen scanning at KPJ this morning. I spent RM38 for clinic medication yesterday. I spent another RM38 today for Chinese physician consultation today. OMG mum said this money might be meant to spend in order to shoo away all the bad incidents. Crazy thoughts buy sounds true in a way.

Anyways it's the tenth day of CNY. :) This year was rather peaceful. And many new experiences as well. I've been working for like 1 and a half month like that, yet I haven't really master the skills of sales technique. What I need is sales training and not some advice on how to take the rebuke with some smiling face. Sound like poker face ya? I'm a product consultant and my job scope includes marketing and sales and many other small stuff. Exactly I don't really like the management style of the company I'm working right now. Even though the product is really good, the HQ people are very friendly and super experienced, but, for an employee who just started to step into working industry, I really need good impression on how employer can really develop and benefit me. The working environment here sucks totally, even though they said i'm given authority to do things which can help to improve the outlet's performance however I don't feel like I'm having authority at all. I had obstacle to do things like the way I like because simply there are people doesn't approve me as their leader. Instead, I'm the one who is being lead in another way round. Amusing and ironic huh? As I've mentioned earlier, I'm challenging my patience right now. I'm not a sales person, I'm inexperienced, I'm giving myself time to learn things. Sometimes I felt like crying, sometimes I felt like giving up, sometimes I felt like resigning and find other better job, sometimes Im afraid of loosing the opportunity that given right now if i switch job just like that. I'm really confused. The only true understanding support I get is from him. Others don't really know what happened to me even if I said I was stressed because they never experienced it yet. Sigh...

Oh wells, some pictures to share on CNY festive!

Deco at my living room.

lols!

Finally me on the first day of CNY :) More pics will be uploaded soon. I'm going KL for Annual Prosperity Meeting next week...can't wait for it :) Too bad im going with someone I'm not pleased with. =_=" haizzz

Summary of month January :)

2011-01-31T00:32:00.000+08:00

It feels just like yesterday when we had potluck dinner at Merdeka Palace for new year countdown. Now, we have come to the end of the first month of the rabbit year. I gotta admit that I can't beat the time. We are always the followers racing after each other. In every possible way, I tried to think that actually January was quite not a bad month afterall. Having this positive thinking strappingly now. I tried my best not to frown each and every time I faced challenges in this new year. I'm seriously prolonging my patience limit. Seriously something better pay off for my hard work. I hope.

it's me...camwhoring in office when i got nothing to do. To be frank, I'm finding chances and opportunity to develop myself. I want to be like professional by utilizing all my marketing skills. I don't want to pressure myself with the figures of the sales target. Since I'm a recent graduate I will learn things step by step, one by one. No one can decide for me except for myself. This is an inevitable process of life.

Then I went KL for training on the 19th and 20th Jan :D I missed the pet dog of our COO, Ms Yap! It's a shih tzu named Queenie! XD Overall, many unexpected things happened during this trip. But, I always get to eat eat and eat. That's why I gained weight when I came back from KL. FML -_-"

Back then on the 15th we had preBday celebration for Hui Lin's 21st! XD It was fun and great to meet old buddies again! Hopeee to see you guysss sooon during CNY! XD

I always like the sunset view from my office~

My dad bought new car...TADA! Thanks to sze pau korkor :)

Recently went to Life Cafe for Lunch. This is the latest Biii~ XD

And the latest me! XD

OKAY. Sorry for acting like this. Was trying to imitate those Taiwanese girls in their blog. HAHAHAH epic fail ~ @_@" Anyways GOODBYE January! HELLO February! :)

3 more days it's Chinese New Year and I haven't clean up or tidy up my house yet. *panic panic panic* I don't really have CNY mood this time...WHY????

Second Week

2011-01-12T23:34:00.000+08:00

It's never easy when u stepped out in the society and started working. It's never easy to work for someone where you carry the obligations and responsibilities to do your work cause they pay you salary. It's never gonna be the same when you are working, the stress level just amplify immensely. I wish I can be healthier again. I seriously wish that I don't stressed myself too much. I hope that I still can enjoy my life eventhough I sacrificed my weekends for working. I hope my relationship won't be affected by my job. I'm still like an infant in this working field, struggling to survive. I suddenly realized I'm not as good as what you think I should be. Seriously, all these expectations and standards settings made me doubt myself so much, I have no confidence at all. Day by day, I kept thinking what if I can't perform or complete what I've promised? T_T sighh....

I'm on the path, which turns out to be quite challenging. Starting from zero, they expected me to turn it into hundred percent. It's like metamorphosis journey. I seriously need a break. I SUDDENLY MISS MY UNI LIFE SO SO MUCH. Luckily I have my friends, family and his support :) Thanks.

yes ELLY you can do it!!!

A New Start.

2011-01-10T00:24:00.000+08:00

Oh wells, it has been one week after we entered year 2011. Nothing much happened except that I've been working for one week already, not to mention that there are alot of ups and downs happening during this starting of new year. My zodiac and horoscope's forecasts and predictions are pretty bad this year omg. I usually don't believe in this kind of stuff but it becomes damn accurate that I'm so horrified @_@" It's just only one week begun I felt like almost experiencing everything unstable in my life. I'm a Snake and let's see what it will be in Rabbit year 2011 which I've "plagiarized" or in-text referenced from this site here.

6th Chinese Zodiac Sign: Snake – 蛇

Intelligent and highly intuitive are two of the Snake’s many fine qualities. He makes an amusing and romantic friend with a definite flirtatious streak. When challenged or criticised he can be a sore loser. The Snake is very lucky with money and is fond of the odd bet or two. He is quick-witted and enjoys reading, music and occasionally the paranormal side of life.

Click here for more of the Snake in Chinese Zodiac Meets Western Astrology Horoscope.

Snake Fortune in 2011:

In the Year of the Rabbit for the snake there will some obstacles, especially with evil star showing up this year, you may have unlucky fate that will brings you monetary problem. This year you have to control yourselves in term of investing and do not go into business easily with anyone. You should be paying good attention to your health, you may find it difficult to focus or feeling lethargic easily which may lead to emotional instability and may fall into easily dispute easily. You should rest more, to prevent from getting distracted at work or in love. It is best that you do not engage in any gossip to avoid from getting into trouble. For the snake individual this year, it is suggested that you avoid attending any funeral ceremony to avoid from affecting your fortune.

Snake Career in 2011:

For the snake, work is at your disadvantage this year. You should keep conservative, if you have any plan to go work overseas or change a job; it is not a good time to implement this year. Despite having issue at work, it is still not too difficult to resolve them, as long as you stay positive and continue working towards your goal, you will definitely be able to overcome them. Since this year, you are bound to encounter problem at work and no nobility for assistant. You should keep low profile and be patient. You should make effort in your social skill and communication with your superior and colleague this year, you may therefore be able to get some help from it.

This year, the snake may be an easy prey that can led to financial problem. You notice that not only there is no nobility assistant, there can be some villains out there that may affect your judgment, which may cause you monetary loss. Therefore you should be careful when doing business with anyone or even avoid making any business deal to avoid property disputes. Be careful and keep a good lookout on your valuable whenever you go out to avoid theft. You should also be aware on your earning and avoid splurging

unnecessarily. Wealth is average, avoid gambling or making any risk investment.

Snake Love in 2011:

In the Year of the Rabbit, the snake individual will experience numerous mood swings. Sometime too emotional that may cause it difficult your partner to endure. There will be frequent argument that may affect the loving couple. Couples should get along with each other with more patient and understanding to help resolve any crisis. the time when an argument from first to find the reasons, early crisis will not resolve the feelings of the more depression worse. Unmarried person seem to be vulnerable towards other interference. Therefore if you have someone you like, do not get too affected by what other says or do.

You should be careful with food hygiene, avoid cold food, so as not to cause gastrointestinal infections. Avoid going to any funeral ceremony.

So true. I'm currently broke, sick, emotional upswings, having obstacles in career, and also in relationship. Bad things happened last weekend and please ignore my previous post haha. This weekend was better :) Gonnna upload few pictures during this week and last week :D

My new year eve started with drinks session at Station One Cafe, Hills Shopping Mall. It was an awesome gathering because mostly we laughed crazily together. LOL!

Then new year eve night I followed Delwin to join szepau korkor and the GreatVision friends to have potluck dinner at Merdeka Palace. If it wasn't about my curfew I could have countdown together with them, but too bad my dad was strict than before.

On the new year, I attended Pajamas Party organized by Cheeya at BQ's house hahhahaha!

It was super crazy and funny to play such games. ME LIKE IT. But poor us kena drawn on the face using lipsticks. LOL!! It was also burthday celebration for Vic as his burthday falls on the second day of new year :D However, things get worse on Sunday which you can see from my previous post. I quarreled with Delwin and ended up with throbbing heart pain.

I didn't even realized I looked so sad when I started working the next day. @_@" Swollen eyes...I'm currently working as beauty and product consultant of TROIS International of Kuching Outlet. It might turned out to be a great chance for me to develop myself perhaps. The thing I like about the office is that I can weigh myself everyday and practising the body analysis on myself almost everyday wahahahha :D It feels good!

I loveee the big big mirror too! It makes u looked so slimmmmm :D

This was supposed to be the 5th day of working but I was sick the previous day so I took a sick leave on Thursday. Therefore, it's now the 4th day of working. (Currently still sick FML.) Seriously I'm falling in love with the mirror wahahhaha. Anyways I can't say much about this company because I don't know it quite well yet. I only can tell after my training on 10th and 11th. So far so good I guess.

Finally, went to send Delwin off to airport on the 9th of Jan early morning 7am. Finally we solved our conflict before he went KL. Happie 16th monthniversay baby ♥♥♥

Finally one last word, I will be updating my blog less than before. I'M SO SORRY >.<"

Empty

2011-01-02T14:45:00.002+08:00

I think the only way to make me feel better is to blog it out. Nothing is more dependable than my blog, seriously. I don't know why I'm feeling so down suddenly. I think I know what triggered it but I was thinking, is there anything to sad about? I mean why do I feel such way? because I care alot? I don't want to feel such way. It irritates someone and it bothers me because I can't seem to make things turn better. I kept on ruining things just because of my sensitive feelings, at least that's what other people told me about. A little or minute stuff can make me emo for whole day or few days. I'm trying to change this side of me, but to no avail. I'm trying to fake my feelings because I scare the true feelings will ruin the relationships one day, either between friends, lover, or families. I tried but I don't know how to curb it. I'm so tired of chasing behind someone and trying my best to become one of them. The feelings of afraid of hurting other people and that's why trying hard to control and change the attitude of mine is making me tired seriously. It was all for nothing. Empty.

原来，我太单纯了。
原本以为一切都会是如我所想象的，
但往往背后藏着许多不能说的秘密。
我原先以为至少在他面前不用假装我自己，
但是因为太在乎他，所以不愿让他觉得我是个负担。
挣扎了太久，我真的很累。我不知道要怎么样去面对他。
坦诚面对我的心情，让他知道会比较好吗？
他会体谅我的心思敏感吗？
这又会是不是我的任性与自私呢？
我不要变成自私鬼，所以我选择了沉默。
对比起，因为始终控制不了自己的心情。
哭过，也许就会算了。。。

在朋友群中，原来还有人比我更会假装。
他有可能在你面前表示友善，却在你不在时说你一大堆你的“坏话”。
可能，也许这些“坏话“对他们来说是种关于你的残酷事实，为了不伤害友情所以不让你知道，
可是，对当事者来说，可是多么的可悲啊。诚心诚意和他们交朋友，却不知背后他们多么的不欢迎你。请不要假装友善好吗？哈哈，这也许是我的心思敏感，想太多了吗？或，是我太过认真吗？

心思敏感的我，被人人说成”玩不起“的家伙。
连开点玩笑，可能会因此而受伤害。
为了不要成为“玩不起”的家伙，
往往受伤后却不表示出来，所以没人知道我真的在意吧。
所以才会一直被欺负下去，直到忍无可忍的时候才一次过说出来。
这时，却没有一个人把你的认真当作一回事，还把你的认真当做开玩笑玩下去，
只好选择假装不在意，不然遍体鳞伤的又是自己。
好累。。。
真的好累。。。

Random update :)

2010-12-29T01:16:00.000+08:00

So, this is a random update! HOHOHO~ many things happened within this few days since last Christmas! :P

First of all, I had Dimsum for lunch with Delwin at Causeway Bay last Sunday :) Then we had a catch-up session with my bro, AllenAng, and then shopping with parents at night! Woah, what an eventful day :)

And yes!! During the shopping moment, I was too shocked to believe that I actually can fit in xs size pants and blouse! OMFG O_O"

Then on Monday, I brought my bro, Ares to the watch store to buy his watch. At last we chosen this ALBA watch. I like the design, so sophisticated, so stylish, and silver tone with Roman numerals dial :)

Then in the evening, I went for haircut! TADA! I dyed my hair too. I'm not sure what color is that, but somehow it is brighter than usual and slightly brown :) will upload the picture of my newest look soon! :)

And then just now Delwin brought me to Wave Cafe again. This time we challenged the King Size (8") burger!!! WTF I only ate not even one quarter of the burger because I'm too full :s Poor Del had to stuff all the food inside his tiny little stomach! HAHAHA :D

Tada! Last but not least, I received a souvenir from Hanchien and Cheng!! OMG a miniature dslr! Wonderful!! :) I love it so much! Thanks again guys c: really appreciate it!

Side view. It's actually a FM2 camera with flash! It's a sensor to fix on the mobile phone, vanity or any digital camera. Hence, it will flash whenever it receives or sends any call or sms! Niceeeee :D

Well, I guess that's all for now! Will update soon ^_^

Christmas Eve ♥ [Part 2]

2010-12-27T13:35:00.000+08:00

So, continue from previous post, we went to the newly opened Taiwanese Tea Room (Xian Ding Wei) for our dinner plus meeting up with other friends as well. We reached there roughly 8.10pm. But it was super crowded and we have to queue up to wait for empty seats.

The newly opened Taiwanese Tea Room. It was located just beside the stage of the spring shopping mall.

And it was very crowded and we was told that we need to book the seats else we have to queue in the waiting list for empty seats available. WTH..so roughly 8.30pm somehow Delwin managed to get a table..I ordered my food first because was feeling hungry at that moment..however we shifted to another bigger table so that we can fit in 7 peoples together when the other friends arrived. They ordered their food at 9.30pm. It almost like a supper already.

me and Delwin :)

Sik, Song, Kopi~! The three musketeers! :D

papa and mama :)

I ordered black sesame snow ice, RM 6.90. Tasted too sweet but I like the red beans.

The three cup chicken, direct translate from Chinese name hahaha! Hmmm they said it's okay but the portion abit small?

the sweet and sour chicken...so very normal...

Okay i remembered it's beef noodle something, however it came out like kueh tiaw..out of my expectation though.

I ordered this first at 8.30pm, but it was the last item to be served, almost 10pm already @_@" The waiting period totally spoiled my mood for enjoying this food already. The service quality was not good as i thought, probably it will be different if it wasn't on Christmas eve?

Spring was super crowded with people....people, peopleeeee.....

There's this band performance...and the Hitz.fm crew from Kuching hosting the event whole night. I met alot of friends including, Cath, Kim, Wilfred, Edmund, and also some high school friends hahahhaa :D

Finally we get to see the fireworks after 12am! It was my first time to countdown Christmas with my bf and friends, and going home around 12.30am defying the curfew that my father set for me. omg hahahah I felt like a bad girl but somehow I enjoyed doing this once in a while :D

-Will update soon-

2010-12-25T22:51:00.000+08:00

His burthday is on 26th :D which is tomorrow but we celebrated it on 21st :) We went to Good Time Cafe for pre-christmas dinner cum burthday celebration :)

This is me, without any makeup on except concealer and BB cream..hehe :P and it's time for haircut, or perhaps it's time to change my hairstyle, so sick of it seriously urgh.

Seriously, it was everyone's first time to Good Time Cafe. I heard alot of good reviews about this cafe from my friends so I proposed this place to my brother, Ares to have it as the dinner venue :) This is creamy spaghetti carbonara and the texture is like no one else. First time I ate carbonara and it was beyond my description. It doesn't taste bad, it's not that nice either, you just gotta try it for yourself..hmmm very exclusive in a sense hahah.

This is grilled pork chop with mushroom sauce. I think the sauce is too bland, but the pork chop is nicely grilled and the meat texture was so matted and tender, unlike the rough and hard cold meat that was overdone. Ares said not bad.. :) compatible with the price.

This is Crispy, Hot and Spicy Chicken Chop served with fries and coleslaw :) hahahha! This was totally great. It fits with the name of the dish. Crispy as in very crispy in the outside, yet juicy and tender in the inside. :) The chicken meat was so moist and it's not that really spicy like the one u ate at KFC hahahah...it's numb in a zesty way? Hmm I don't really understand what I'm trying to say here. Overall I rated this dish 8/10 :) But, if you don't like it please don't scold me because everyone has different taste. BTW, don't eat the fries with the ketchup sauce. It spoiled the taste seriously =_="

And so the burthday boy! Celebrating his 23rd burthday :) awwww...when he turned 23, his friends almost turned 24 few more months to go..hahahha :D

TADA! The group pic!! I wasn't belong to this gang, but somehow clicked in because of my brother, Ares :) LOL~

Poor burthday boy got creamed on the face!

Next station we went to winter village at somewhere behind Chung Hua primary school No.3 :) Tada~ looked so like snowing here in the picture!

Tada! Another group picture! :D

Seriously I LOL-ed at this picture everytime I viewed it hahahhahaha!

And finally the girls! :) For more pics please view my facebook album :D

It was fun hanging out with them :D Btw this winter village is only opened up till 2nd of January, so go and see for yourself if you haven't :)

Last Weekends

2010-12-25T18:35:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday I was almost at BCCK for the whole day. Basically I went there in the morning for rehearsal, and going there back again at night. Oh yeah, it was Parkway Health's Thanks Giving Dinner cum Medias Appreciation night. I was being asked for help to be the emcee of the night! It was a very precious experience as I met alot of new friends :)

Tada, the music performance list by Avant Garde Music Academy. Saw Ms Monica and she looked totally familiar, and then it hit my mind that I ever saw her during the Trinity Guildhall Music Competition few months back, and I was also the emcee that time. LOL~ so irony =_="

The dinner was held at Great Hall D. I was so nervous that night because suddenly so many impromptu stuff..and I had to change the sequence and whatsoever. I think the YB Dato Yong Khoon Seng hated me for invited him up and down the podium for many times =_=" He said it was like doing exercise, sounds so sarcastic :S

After the event, I felt so relieve! Now it's time for pictures! This is me with Mr. Kingsley. I heard Pei said he was quite good looking, indeed after meeting him, I found out that he got his very own unique charm :) And the most important of all, he wears specs!!! LOL~

This is me with Madam Connie's son, Shenton Tan :) I think he will be a great violinist if he was given that path :)

and the brother, Stanton Tan. I almost thought he was in high school like form 4 or 5, instead of form 3. He was so young and yet very good looking :)

Me and ah pei aka Elsa Tan :) hahahah thanks for giving me this kind of opportunity. I learnt alot, having fun at the same time too. Most important of all, I met the Great Vision's big boss and his son. They were both very kind and very nice in person :)

So, I was very tired because I woke up 5.30am the next day because I promised Sze Pau Kor Kor will help him during the SinChew charity sales on Sunday. It was carnival actually and the charity sales was part of it. Woah, and they were on the newspaper man! hahahha too bad I'm not in the group pic because I went off listening for the lucky draw inside the community hall that moment.

Tada! BQ and Del~

This is our stall muahhahaha :D

This is me with messy hair! Didn't even had time for hair doing because I plaited my hair the previous night, and having to wake up early worsen my hair condition urghhh...

Tada! Song, Alan, and Sze Pau! Even Alan was addicted in selling ice-cream! so funny! :) yet so cute at the same time seeing him so hardworking helping us at our stall :D

After the charity sales, we went sing k in the afternoon, dinner at Del's place, and shopping for present at night. Woahh, totally very eventful! :)

Next post coming up! Taimin's Bday and Christmas eve! :)

HO HO HO~

2010-12-23T13:08:00.000+08:00

I'm supposed to blog about the pictures on winter solstice yesterday, however the uploading of the pictures took like for ages, so was wondering what's wrong with the speed connection. =_=" damn streamyx. Anyways it's 23rd of December 2010. Eight more days, exactly like one more week we gonna end this 2010 and embrace year 2011. Wow, don't you realize that when you grow older, things tend to past more faster and faster? And soon you wouldn't want to remember your birthday because you gonna realize that you regret of not being able to complete certain visions or oath that you made for yourself. Sigh...pathetic..

Anyways, it's been a fruitful day yesterday. I woke up at 7am to clean the living room and help mum to roll the glutinous rice ball ( tang yuan)! And then in the afternoon, I went for an interview at Talent Times Sdn Bhd. It was very last minute and I didn't prepare anything at all. Sigh...but anyways the interview went on quite well. So now I was like standing at a crossroad, not knowing which route or path to choose. Although I already had the answer in my heart, yet I'm doubting myself, doubting on the choices that I've made. Hmmm.. There's a reason why I go for the second job offer because the lady boss gave me a warm smile, with omniscient eyes. Unlike the first one, there's an edge of sarcasm of everything he said. The third one seemed to hesitate, looking amused at the questions that I've asked, making me felt so silly for having asked that. Apart from that, all I got back is vague answers.

Well, the question that really matters is, Elly are you ready yet? or are you ready not? Oh god, I hate this feeling so much.

An update of the pictures yesterday :)

traditional white and pink! :)

Hahaha! uneven size @_@"

the salty type :)

The sweet type :)

Will update about the Parkway Health Thanks Giving Dinner, and carnival next post! Stay tuned! :)

Dinner @ Topspot

2010-12-19T01:47:00.000+08:00

Wakakka, it has been two times a week for me to have dinner at Topspot Permata Seafood Center. First time was on Tuesday night where I had dinner with my fellow gangs of buddies who just finished their final exams that day..hahahah xD So it was actually a celebration dinner. Too bad no pictures was taken that night except the picture of the food which was taken by Mandy. Lols~ Anyways the second time was on Thursday night whereby I was invited by Delwin to join him together with Lilian, Henry, Mr George, Ms Voon and their family for a dinner. Hahahaha~

Tada~ Lillian and Henry :)

Alright, gotta sleep now..i had to wake up at 5am to prepare myself for the carnival~ wootz! I will update about the BCCK event tonight some other day :) Sighhh...lols irony enough but I seemed to like my busy lifestyle now even though I felt tired :)

-Willl update soon-

It's Friday again..

2010-12-17T19:24:00.000+08:00

Hey guys! I've been busy recently with job interviews as well as friends gathering..most of them already finished the final exam by now..Congratulations! :D It was holiday for them, but job hunting period for me. I wasn't sure about my readiness of entering the work field..but I'm sure that I need to earn some money first before continuing my master program. It was really a hectic week. There are many events going on this week however I need to sacrifice some of them due to money and time constraint. Currently, I'm trying to sell off my books during the courses of degree program. HAHAHA! Even my lecturer said I've brought piracy into a new level. Okay, please do not sue me over copyright infringement T_T" I'm totally innocent and I just want to sell off the books in a more efficient and effective way, which is through famous social media platform-FACEBOOK. Hahahhaha....anyways there are more books hiding inside the cupboard, which i need time to dig it out..so in the mean time, there are only 9 books in the album, more to be uploaded next Monday. :D Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=305207&id=580166200

So whoever are juniors in Swinburne taking marketing or international business major, feel free to view the album and see if any books you need is inside! THANKSSS~~~

Currently quite obsessed with Portuguese Tart. But I don't think this is the standard one. Doesn't really satisfy my taste-bud. Prolly I have more higher expectations on foods :D Well, I don't think you can find any others Portuguese Tart besides Kimbay, or can you? Please tell me where can u get taste-bud tantalizing, crispy in the crust and succulent in the filling Portuguese egg tart here in Kuching?

Tada!! Christmas tree in the middle of Spring Shopping Mall :) And the trick is the tree does ROTATE!!! XD Hohohooh~

Will update about the "Dinner at Topspot" later when I finish processed with the pictures :D

Emo Sunday

2010-12-16T14:01:00.000+08:00

Well, wasn't feeling quite well last Sunday. Somehow, something stirred inside my mind and I couldn't figure out what. And that makes me so depressed. I suddenly turned emo. I started to behave so sensitively, and I cannot control my emotion. I tried so hard but I can't help but to feel empty, and a little bit of sadness in me. Craps, something is wrong with me definitely. FYI, I care alot of the words that someone said, this whole emotional thing finally creates a splinter in the relationship. Sigh....

Nevertheless, I went to bookfair because it was the last day on the 12th December :) FML I didn't bring enough cash so I didn't get to buy the English novel or storybooks that I always wanted. Been absent from storybooks so long time ago :( Anyways, I'm looking forward to receive that as Christmas present :) Ho ho ho~ Still with limited cash RM20 I bought two books!

A low fat cook book!!! XD My favourite!!! Gonna learn cooking this holiday and polish my cooking skills :)

I like it because the book provides clear pictures :)

And also clear instructions :)

Even looking at the pictures make me droooool~~~~ know how much this cost me? RM11.60 only! :D

The second book that I bought is this chinese book =_="

I have no idea why I bought it, probably because it's only RM5. And my Chinese language skills are not that good as before zzz

I went to Song Kheng Hai for the sugarcane coconut drink and also the Kong Piah~ all time fav~

It was drizzling..and the sky looked so gray..I wonder whether it reflects my mood?

Yupp...I went alone. I was alone. I used to enjoy solitary. But somehow, that Sunday was the worst moment of being alone. I guessed I don't want to be alone that day afterall.

-Will update soon-

Updated Post on Swinburne Prom Night 2010

2010-12-12T01:43:00.001+08:00

Well, I have always been wondering that, should I blog about prom or should I not? Well, partly because it was very long time ago which falls on last month, and the event was not significant enough for me. But, perhaps I should give it a try and blog about it, hmm? Lols, I wasn't meant to go for the prom this year because I already went last year for my boyfriend's last prom, but I had to go this year because I've promised Annabelle and Rachael last year that I would go for them. Hence, a promise is a promise so I just go. But, many things changed nowadays, sigh.

Now, many friends criticized a lot on my makeup and the prom dress that night. Some good reviews, some very bad which I felt really sad over it. Even my own parents scolded me wtf. Well, there are some pictures which I copied down from Facebook. Hope you guys can recognize me in the picture rofl~ and don't be surprised on how fat I looked like @_@" sighhhhh...now I'm so so so regret of not keeping diet the day before prom, looking back all those pictures remind me of how fat I am, urghhh...

Oh well, it was on a Saturday night, in the middle of the busiest period of assignment week. It was held at BCCK (Borneo Convention Centre Kuching). The theme of the prom is celebrity night, but to my comprehension, it was more like "Glamor Night" compared to "Celebrity Night". LOLS~

The girls :) I'm the one in blue :) Credits to Peter for this nice picture!

Us girl again hehe :) Photo by Edmund.

Okay, picture taken using Mandy's handphone. :) Stella, yling, me and Mandy :D

Emy, me, Rachael, and Diana. Photo taken by Edmund :)

I wasn't really concentrating on what's the emcee saying that night, all I was thinking, when can we eat?? Because I was freaking hungry and it was about 9pm when we started to queue up to take our food. =_="

Photo by Edmund again :) As you can see, my eye makeup was quite heavy, I looked so fierce wearing it.

Delwin, Edina and me! Photo taken by Edina's camera :) She is a very nice and sweet girl :)

Me, Natalie, Wilfred, Rachael and Khim :) Photos by Edmund again :) Soon after we filled our stomach, the event was quite boring with modelling of bridal studios, so we decided to go out and have photoshooting session ourselves!

Mandy and me :) hahaha!

Him and me. I seriously don't like his smile =_=" don't understand why he couldn't smile properly everytime took photos together with me..zzz

Photo taken by Dino Jilan. Well, just when I wanted to rest and went inside the hall, Delwin's number hit the lucky draw and I need to go up the stage...the prizes for the lucky draw was free facial treatment from Clarins and few discount voucher. Hmm good la better than nothing.

With my Indian friend, Miraz! A handsome guy :) Photo taken using Angelo's dslr!

Photo taken by Lance! We were at the dance floor. The only thing cool about that night was the dance performance :) I seriously enjoyed it. Also, my legs were super killing me that night for wearing 4 inches high heels and standing up for so long hours zzz. Sore and pain to the maxxxx....

Overall, although the prom wasn't that great but I spent my memorable moment with lots of my friends. RM55 for the ticket (sponsored by bf), RM59 for the dress, RM60 for the makeup and hairdo that I've paid just vanished within one night. Lols pathetic~

Hahah, so last night we decided to go Bella Italia to have a try. Our very first time going there, together haha :D Time really flies, it's already 15 months.

Back to One Small

2010-12-11T00:43:00.001+08:00

Lols, One Small is the direct translate of my primary school's name. It was a random evening, I don't know why I had the urge to go back and visit my primary school, so TADAAAA~ here I come~!

Old KH building~ it was almost wrecked now~

The tree leaves :)

Owh, the haunted old toilet!!! hahahha they chopped off the trees around the toilet lo..

The staircase that I need to climb everyday last time :)

Look what I found! hahah so cute!
