Garmin nuVi205 vs NuVi255w

2009-06-16T00:11:00.000-07:00

I had bought a new gadget - nuVi205 GPS from Garmin last month for RM600 after convert from Sing dollar. My colleague got it for me from SG, after compare the price in MY i found SG offer cheaper price. http://www.garmin.com/

My brother was very interested after seeing my GPS, he bought his nuVi 255w in MY for only RM300. Gosh! It looks better than mine, as it has wider screen. I shouldn't have bought so early. Anyway i seldom use it, thinking it would be nice to use in oversea.

Good Living

2009-06-16T00:09:00.000-07:00

Last year i had done the very first surgery in my life and have made me stay at the hospital for a night and that alone was enough to see how hardworking nurses are. Their jobs are very crucial, need to carry out orders from doctors, monitor patient's reports, give medicines etc. Just like every individuals of other occupation, nurses deserve a make over to indulge theirselves like manicure, pedicure, hairdo, spa treatments, massage and make up.
This summer we need to go with the flow with fashion and beauty and so with the nurses. If you are a nurse, you should take a look at this useful website called Scrubs. It has interesting ideas and tips that guide through the nurses how to take care of theirselves to look better. Their article "Wake Looking Younger" mentioned some tips for nurses and at the same time it applies to other busy women out there like me. The tip "Get Clean" is very useful for me. I always go to bed without removing my make up. It makes my face look so dry and dehydrated. Sometimes i have a big shock when i look into the mirror the next morning.
You may visit their site and learn more about health, life, beauty and good living.

Heard a shocking news from my friend whom working in Singapore that she going to divorce with her husband on coming Decemeber. She has moved out from their house and stay with her cousin. What a sad news! I am pretty shocked! His hubby never looked ast other girls nor even talk to me. When I met my friend and her hubby in a restaurant in Spore, he never look at me nor talk to me. I thought he is very faithful to the wife. They have been married 3 years after 3 years of courtship. My friend found out her hubby got third party. Hopefully she will be recovered fast and start a new life asap.

Manicure and Nail Polish in HCMC

2008-10-08T01:31:00.000-07:00

The manicure and nail polish i did in HCMC. You will be amazed how much i pay. I paid manicure for RM4, nail polish for RM8. Massage is RM25 which I find quite similar to Thailand. This is the cheapest manicure and nail polish i've ever found. But it didnt last long, it starts to peal off after 2 days. I was not able to take picture of massage. But, they are not ashame of naked. Ask me to take off my clothes in a public room, where there was another guy tengah massage there!!

iLasik to get back your perfect vision

2008-10-05T01:37:00.000-07:00

I went for eye laser surgery 5 years ago. It cost me RM4,000 for both eyes. I hid this from my family until my eyes fully recovered from the surgery as I know they would strongly disagree of my decision. Ever since I started to work in IT field, my power increased tremendously. After the surgery done, I feel like I’ve got back my baby eyes, which means I have perfect eye vision just like a new born baby. Many friends of mine are asking me about LASIK information, but they are still hesitating to do the surgery. With the LASIK technology nowadays most of the surgeries are safe with high successful rate. I usually recommend my friends to seek for proper advice from the professional.
The Department of Defense and NASA validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness. No pain, less complicated steps and last but not least you can pay the fees in monthly installment. I did my Lasik 5 years back, with the old technology my eyes are proven in good condition until now. It is much safer with the new Lasik technology now. Do not hesitate to look for the professional as the consultation is free at most of the places.

10 signs it's time to change your job

2008-09-23T22:52:00.000-07:00

Read an article by Becky Roberts. Very worth of reading.

Having recently just quit a job I had held for nine years and four months, I have given the topic of job-changing a great deal of thought. However bad a job may be and however much you dread Monday mornings, making the decision to leave the job — especially one you have held for some years — is never an easy process. Even if your boss is an ogre, your pay raises haven't kept up with the cost of living and your skills haven't been relevant for six years, you know you can handle this job.

Show related articlesThere's a large degree of comfort in your current responsibilities and the company you're familiar with. Part of your brain knows you're capable of more, but another part is fraught with self-doubt and wakes you from sleep at 2am in a cold sweat, beaming an image of you in your new job frozen by ignorance, out of your depth, and facing termination.

So how do you know when it's time to go? Based on my recent experience, here are my top 10 indicators that it's time to make the change.

#1: You know you aren't performing to the best of your ability
We all go through slumps, bad days, even bad weeks when we just don't care, don't give it our best... but what if that week turns into months? If you just don't have what it takes to give it your best, something needs to change. This is a common sign of burnout or of being overworked, under-worked, under-challenged or out of your depth.

If lack of motivation is the only issue, it may be possible to effect change within your current company by requesting different responsibilities, more training or another position. But if none of these options is available, it's time to update your resume.

#2: You start gravitating toward co-workers you can be disgruntled with

Think about the people with whom you choose to socialise at work. Whose company do you seek out? Are you drawn toward the malcontents, the people who derive pleasure from complaining about their boss, the declining benefits and the unreasonable overtime? When people ask you what you like about your job, is it rather like when your uncle asked, "What's your favourite subject at school?", and all you could think of was break-time?

#3: You can't picture your future with your current employer
Do you remember those irritating questions the last time you were interviewed: "Where do you see yourself in three years? Five years? Ten?" Perhaps it's time to ask yourself those questions again. But this time ask, "Do I see myself HERE in three years? Five years? Ten?" If the answer to any of these questions is no, what is your plan? Where do you want to go? When were you planning to make your move?

As much as we'd all like to simply wake up one day to find ourselves in the perfect job, the chance of it happening is probably slightly slimmer than a one-eyed, polka-dotted aardvark materialising in your kitchen sink. If you know that you want to be working somewhere else at some point in the future, it's never too soon to make a plan.

#4: You take inventory of your job's pros and cons... and the cons win
If you're having a hard time deciding whether to change jobs, try this simple exercise. Create a document with two lists — things you like about your current job, and things you dislike. Next, apply a weighting to the items. This can be as simple as a value from one to 10 to rate the importance of each factor. For example, if the stringent dress code is on your list of cons but it isn't that important to you, give it a 1 or 2. But if the excellent health insurance is a pro, it would probably warrant at least a 7 or an 8.

Next, add up each list. If the cons outweigh the pros, it's probably worth at least considering a change. If nothing else, this exercise will force you to focus on what you specifically do and do not like about your current position and give you a more concrete idea of what to look for in a new position.

#5: You look for ways to improve your current situation but you can't turn it into what you really want
Another useful exercise is to take your list of pros from the previous exercise and expand upon it. Elaborate on the items already on the list and add other items you wish you could claim about your current position. When you're finished, review the list for items you may be able to make happen at your current company.

If you want more responsibility or more flexible hours, you might be able to work that out, whereas if you work for a missile manufacturer and happen to have developed pacifist beliefs since accepting the position…

Hiking at Sg. Chilling, Kuala Kubu Bahru

2008-09-22T22:26:00.000-07:00

Some pictures I took on Sunday. Depart from Kelana Jaya 7am and reach the destination about 9:00am
Hike 1 and half hour to the waterfall. The water is 22 degrees, and it is chilling! 22 of us in group. Some of us even dive into the water, as the water level is more than 5 feet. I dont know how deep it is, cause i cant touch the ground. The current is strong so i dont dare to swim in...

Jogoya Buffet Dinner

2008-09-18T18:31:00.000-07:00

Went for dinner buffet at Jogoya last Friday after work. Did not bring my camera, no photo to show you guys. I was very excited before i go there. I set a target for myself, one year eat once. When i reached there, i was not as excited as i thought. After 2 rounds of food, i find not much other food i would like to try on. Their dishes remain almost the same as last year. The VIP dish is still the same cheese lobster. In fact, I saw a lot of lengluis there, slim, young with thick make up and nice dress up. I was like uhh.. this is just a buffet dinner. Maybe because it located at Star Hill and many people tend to wear nice dress? For me i do not like to wear too nice to buffet, cause i tend to grab the food vigorously. haha.. Since I have decided to eat buffet, forget about weight loss and fattening. Just enjoy it! I think i will not go Jogoya that often anymore. It could not stimulate me anymore.

Anyhow, i drop my name card and they've sent me few sms mentioning their promotion.

Dine Free with every 2 paying guests from 22/9 - 24/10. Luch and late lunch from Mon-Fri

Jogoya tribute to senior citizens aged 60 years and above entitled you to a 50% off. Min comes with 4 adult guests from 17/9 & 18/9

Neway Karaoke, Galaxy Puchong

2008-09-15T19:56:00.000-07:00

Recommended by netcat to this place. This is the most grand Neway karaoke i've found. Let's picture speaks..

It is quite empty and i've been told that you can just walk in withot booking. You can get a room anytime in peak hour. The sound proof is not so good, the karaoke room attached with wash room (this is standard among all other branches) Price is quite reasonable. RM25+ per person, lunch inclusive but exclude drinks. We paid roughly RM40. We booked from 1pm-5pm but we sing until 6:30pm instead. No one chase you (unlike redbox) you can sing till you drop.. haha.. This is the best part!

Fish therapy gone wrong?!?!

2008-09-15T19:53:00.000-07:00

Read through an article says fish spa may harm our skin on legs.. My first time saw fish spa is last year June at Singapore Sentosa Island. It cost RM200 for a treatment. I was tempting to try but thinking it is not full body massage and just leg itself doesn't worth. Until today I not yet try the fish spa yet. Thinking to try on tomorrow but.. mm.. let me discuss with my hubby first.

http://health.asiaone.com/Health/Women%2527s%2BMatters/Story/A1Story20080825-84184.html

BY: Hedy Khoo
THE latest health fad in town involves letting little fishes nibble your legs to get rid of dead skin.
These fishes are dubbed "doctor fish", but two sisters who went for the therapy earlier this month ended up having to visit real doctors instead.
They claimed that that their legs became itchy and turned red and blotchy. They also said they had brown patches and scaly skin after going to a "fish spa" that features the Garra rufa fish, a Turkish spa fish.
Miss Jas Huang, 22, a manicurist, and her younger sister Min, 20, a hairstylist, went for one session at a spa called Dr Fish in Ang Mo Kio on 3 Aug.
The treatment cost them $28 each, for a half-hour session. Clients have to submerge their legs in a tank filled with the fish.
Stinging sensation
Miss Jas Huang said: "Our legs had turned red after the treatment. There was a stinging sensation on my legs when I took a shower after going home.
"But my sister thought it was part of the after-treatment process. We didn ' t think it was serious until a week later, when the redness and itchiness still did not go away."
They then went to see separate doctors who told them that they had fungal infection on their skin. They were given cream to apply to the affected areas.
Miss Jas Huang said: "I was very upset and angry at that time. It was supposed to be a treatment to rejuvenate our skin, but now our legs look so ugly that we have to see real doctors."

My Favorite Great American Seafood Recipe

2008-09-12T02:04:00.000-07:00

Cooking is my favorite pass time hobby. I like to browse through Internet and look for new recipe to try out my own. Most of the recipes are very helpful as I am not a good cook. Sometimes the recipe I’ve found does not suit my taste and I tend to alter the recipe after few "taste & trial" in my kitchen.

By voting your favorite recipe from the top 5 recipes listed in http://www.greatamericanseafoodcookoff.com, you'll stand a chance to win a "Trip to New Orleans" prize package including two Southwest Airline roundtrip tickets, hotel accommodations, dining experiences and more! To all my blog readers, go to the website above and vote your favorite recipe now!

The Great American Seafood cook off, presented by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board featured top chefs from around the nation cooking with domestic, sustainable seafood from their home state.

Out of these 5 recipes, I voted "Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet". This dish is created by Chef Brian Landry from Louisiana. The onion and tomatoes add sweetness to the dish. Adding some beer mixed perfectly well with the shrimps. Of course the main reason I voted this is because shrimp is my hubby's favorite seafood. I am going to try this recipe and I will keep you posted with my result later on. To make the presentation look nicer I will cook the dish with broccoli.

I usually buy fish from my hometown as this is the place where I can get fresh and cheap seafood. The freshness of the seafood makes the dish taste sweeter, and requires less salt and sugar to cook with.

Celebrate Christmas at Taiwan

2008-09-08T18:26:00.000-07:00

Went to Matta Fair on last Friday, and i managed to sign up Taipei Free and Easy for 4 pax from GTT. I compare the price with other agency, seems like more or less the same. GTT is about RM50-RM100 more expensive than the rest. At last I made up my mind to choose GTT cause it is my parents' favourite tour agent. Their trips are more quality, hotel and tour all arranged nicely. Just found out that my parents switched from Reliance to GTT of their Turkey+Greece trip. I've been strugging to make decision either to purchase China Airline (the cheapest air fare to Taiwan) only or purchase free and easy package. Staying at Taiwan, suprisingly is not expensive, you can get a moderate one for only RM180-RM250. Lastly i just close one eye and choose GTT, although it is relatively expensive. I find Taiwanese really know how to design their hotel especially 民宿. http://house.ilantravel.com.tw/ Some of them design very romantic, castle, glass house, antique or bear doll.. Wah.. i feel like want to try all of them. Now im headache of my itinerary, i need some advise from anyone of you who has been to Taiwan. Round island is my plan, cause i have 11D10N there. Gosh, my heart is already fly to Taiwan...

The ultimate flirting championship

2008-09-03T23:19:00.000-07:00

All of us experience to flirt with opposite sex before a relationship starts. To determine how well you flirt, try the Ultimate Flirting Championship. It is a cool online game and it provides the very much needed advices.

Outlook is very important for a person to shows your affection and there are so many non verbal ways of expressing your interest in someone. For instance, the dress you wear, the smile you put on your face, the pose you sit, the way you comb your hair with hand etc. Must remember to use Extreme Style by VO5 so you would not have to worry if you shake your head vigorously.

Moral of the Story: Be creative. Be innovative.

2008-09-03T22:48:00.000-07:00

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

MATTA Fair, here i come..

2008-09-03T20:15:00.000-07:00

We able to buy anything in KL, KL is consider good enough for me to shop. Usually i do not shop that many in oversea.. except.. HK! hehe.. cause their working clothes G2000 is trendy and cheap!

Steamboat recipe

2008-09-03T20:06:00.000-07:00

Recently there are lots of public holiday around. Me and my HB did not do any travel or vacation, as everywhere seems like congested and higher surcharge on peak season.

Since the weather is a bit cooler compare to pass, raining almost everyday. We had steamboat and invited some neighours to our house. Both me and my HB like to hang around with friends and do a little chit chat at home. Home sweet home! For those do not understand the feeling, wait till you have your own house. This is my second times of making the steamboat soup, i have master the skill. I am looking forward to try tom yam soup next time. My recipe is pretty simple, you can either use chicken bone or pork ribs to taste the soup. Plus anchovies (of course is a must), carrot, and corns. I do not use chicken stock cubes as most of the people do, if you use monosodium glutamate might as well eat at outside?

New Coach handbag arrived to my doorstep

2008-08-28T23:20:00.000-07:00

Asked my friend to buy it from US. Thanks Stanley who brought back all the way from US to my doorstep. Browse through www.coach.com and found this handbag.

I realised that I did not check the measurement properly, it seems a bit small for me. Anyone interested? Leave your message. I am looking at bigger plain color coach now.. or LV. A colleague of mine going to Las Vegas coming October. She said she will definitely buy a lot at Coach, her favourite brand. She let me tumpang her to buy some as well.. hiak hiak hiak..

Maybe will consider Louis Vuitton new model - Beaubourg.

Siu nai nai Weekend - Dream for every woman..

2008-08-25T18:50:00.000-07:00

Went to Thai restaurant which recommended by my friend at Pyramid new wing. The service is bad, we have been repeated our order for 3 times!! The starter we ordered was finished, and amazingly the whole page of menu has finished. Why do they still show it in the menu if they do not serve?

These are the food serve in Andana spa.

Last weekend was a happy weekend for me. I was forced to clear leave last Friday. I went shopping in Sunway Pyramid and dinner+yumcha with a girl friend in Italiano restaurant. This is my first time shopping since mega sales, ya, i know I'm a bit slow.. as i was at Bali when the sales started. Hence i could not get any clothes except some kose products and one dress from 90 degrees. First time i saw this brand and kinda like it. Coincidentally we bump into 小猪 on stage promoting his new drama 篮球火. He doesn't look that tall from tv, and quite skinny and small size. Along with him is a pretty lady who i do not recognise. :p The crowd is not many, most of them are students.

I went to Andana spa on Sat from 3pm-9pm. www.andanaspa.com The outlet i went located at Holiday Inn Hotel @ Glenmarie, Shah Alam. There is another outlet at Menara Citibank but that outlet only serve for man. You must be wonder how i can spend whole day there. It is unlimited used of jacuzzi, sauna, buffet and 40 minutes of massage. There are also menicure, pedicure, facial and foot spa available if you would like to indulge yourself with one of them. Overall i am quite satisfied with their service. I will definitely go back again. This time i am looking to book vip room for 15 pax, 5 pax and selangor suite. But i have to purchase up to 2k vouchers in order to upgrade to VIP. How nice if i can bring my family to one room. After spa we have supper with friends at Oldtown Kopitian, Taipan.

Sunday morning i went for photo shooting at Pyramid as i purchased more than RM120 kose products and i got one free make up and hairdo with 1 A4 size photo. The photo doesn't look nice as i expected, a bit disappointed. The jackets they lend to me look old. The lady's photoshop skill was very impressive she made my photo done in few minutes. Shot 10+ photos and i cant even choose one! Maybe they did not shoot spot light, the picture quality is just ok only. Anyway it is free, what do i expect more.. Kose product is worth buying during sales. I bought white mask and scrub for only RM90, toner and night moisturizer for only RM140!! With my friend Parkson staff purchase 20% discount more, i only paid RM180 for RM230 products! Gosh.. where to find such deal...

Badminton match -Lee Chong Wei and Lin Da

2008-08-18T06:47:00.000-07:00

Last night me and my HB were very excited and long for Lee Chong Wei's Single Match with Lin Da. I told my HB it's definitely be 3 games match before the game starts. He even said want to watch at Edison's house to cheer with the crowd. The result was quite disapointed. Lin Da won the first match like a piece of cake. My HB said Lee Chong Wei used wrong strategy. I guess Lin Da has studied Lee's strategy before the match starts. Cause he seems like know where the chatter goes. Lee always use the same strategy as to make the opponent run and only start to attack on second game. Lee is very smart player he attacked Lee in the first match. Lee was quite surprise his strategy was understood by the opponent and messed up. Proceed to second game, relatively more dissapointed! 0 vs 7 Damn it! From there onwards, i knew Lee would not be able to fight back. So there goes, our first ever gold medal. Anyway Lee has did a great job on previous matches and won a Silver medal for Malaysia. We should appreciate his great job and cheer for his vitory.

Left my phone in the Ladies

2008-08-07T23:24:00.000-07:00

My mobile phone has followed me since 2004 till to date. Before I obtained this mobile i changed my mobile quite often, every 1 or 2 years. Many of my friends and colleagues been bugging me when will i change a new phone, why my phone is so old.. Ya, it's Nokia 6100 if not mistaken. I know, kind of old.. but i just like the features are simple and user friendly. The key pad is just nice not too big not too small. Screen a little bit smaller but still fine for me. Sometimes the idea came across my mind to change a new one, but i felt it's a bit waste to leave this phone behind. I dropped this phone for many times and it still working fine. I left my phone in the Ladies and guess what.. no one interested to steal my phone. haha.. A kind lady called my friend from Phonebook and handover my phone to me.. Mm.. guess me and my phone have so much fate that I do not have chance to change a new one. :D

Breath-taking scenery taken at Kintamani Volcano. We had our buffet lunch there, one person costs about RM60 inclusive drink and 21% government tax + service charge.

Kopi Musang or local call it Kopi Luwak.. Read the card.. then you will understand how they produce the coffee.. hehehe.. I taste it once for free and it is not cheap cause it is unique and you only can find it in Bali. Is there similar coffee at other place? No idea, you tell me..

Behind the Discovery Shopping Mall

The Denpasar airport is just next to the beach.. You can see the strong wave there, Bali is good for surfing. The plane was flying just 5 feets above the sea... superb experience.

Can see the volcano from the plane..

Finally touch down the Denpasar International Airport

Some Bali food we had at Jimbaran beach

2008-07-31T22:04:00.000-07:00

The price is killing, we ordered 1kg of squid, 1kg of red snapper and 1kg of prawn.. It costs us around RM140...

@#$%^&!Yogazone

2008-07-31T06:20:00.000-07:00

Last night my hb showed me an sms, says that Yogazone has closed down and the owner has run away. I still do not believe this is true, until the next day heard the news in My.fm. Aih, once again i was being cheated. Yogazone is a biggest yoga centre i could find with good ambience and experience intructors.They have plent of classes which i can choose and i do not feel bored easily. This time i do not have chance to go yoga anymore, as i could not find a better one than yogazone. I still have to pay 3 months installment and i consider myself relatively lucky if compare to others who just signed the membership. Economy downturn, making many big companies facing risk. Travel agent, yoga centre, airline and who's next?

CCNA Certification

2008-07-25T00:28:00.000-07:00

My company do allocates some budget for training every year. No exception for this year as well. We could propose any training that relevant to our job scope and responsibilities. Nevertheless we need to go through a detail process in order to get approval from higher management. The higher management will then justify whether the training is essential to bring direct benefits to the business. Staying competitive is the key to sustainability. Especially in IT line, we must always keep ourselves motivated and up-to-date with industry trends and new technologies in order to achieve this goal. Learning new skill makes us becoming a valued asset in an organization.
I had gone through a technical training on reporting tool few years ago. I've conducted an in-house training to pass on the same knowledge to all of my other colleagues. I became subject method expert few years later.
My manager has assigned new role to me this year, which is Security and Risk Management. My company intends to invest in Cisco system. As we all know, Cisco Systems offers the most comprehensive line of networking solutions in medium and large size corporations. Cisco certification is the first came across my mind. CCNA is the entry level security certification that definitely paves the way for a specialized track concentrating on security.

CCNA modules cover the following:
- Introduction to Network Security Principles
- Perimeter Security
- Network Security Using Cisco IOS Firewalls
- Site-to-Site VPNs
- Network Security Using Cisco IOS IPS
- LAN, SAN,Voice and Endpoint Security Overview

Melaka Trip

2008-07-21T22:26:00.001-07:00

Went back to Melaka last weekend. Spent a quality and wonderful weekend with my family. My niece grow taller, and my newphew can speak more words now. He is super active baby, always crawl around and mess around his toys. Surprisingly, he likes me a lot and allow me to carry him. He immediately shook his head when my hubby offer a hug.

I've eaten a lot during thia trip. Home cook, my favourite dim sum, Von La Vietnamese restaurant, Cendol and Curry Laksa at Jonker street. At first, Denis wanted to bring us to Cita Raku Japanese buffet at Mahkota Parade. I was like uh? I rather try local food as i seldom come back home. Hawker stall sounds the best for me. I ask him just treat me as tourist. Later on his newly married wife suggested vietnamese food. -.- what's the different ler? Anyway, it has been late afternoon and not easy to find food anymore. Overall this restaurant doesn't serve good food. The taste is pretty common, you cant taste the vietnamese style fragance from the soup and dishes. I still prefer the one at Puchong, opened by a Melakian too. A lot of my friends said i have slim down.hehe.. of course ler, i purposely keep fit after i back from Penang trip. I lost 3kg in 3 weeks time. But after that no improvement for 2 weeks. aihh.. I dunno where went wrong. For those who interested to know how do i loose weight, just post a question to me and I am happy to help.

Mykonos Island, Greece

2008-07-13T23:02:00.000-07:00

Mykonos, the most famous of the islands in Greece and one of the world's most popular holiday resorts has been welcoming visitors for over half a century.
To all who wish to experience the magic of this little island, the information on this site will provide a well-rounded and honest picture of what it has to offer. Mykonos is a grand example of unique cycladic architecture set around a picturesque fishing-village bay. Totally whitewashed organic cube-like buildings fit closely together to form a kind of haphazard maze of narrow alley ways and streets. The earthen colors of the bare hills which surround the town's gleaming whiteness is set between the aura of an incredibly blue sky and even deeper blue sparkling sea. Its many well preserved windmills and hundreds of tiny red-roofed churches adds a flavor of culture and custom to the scene, enhanced even further by many museums and the historical ancient site of nearby Delos. Together with being friendly and open people, the locals have a healthy understanding of what it means to have a good time. Put this together with all the island's other qualities and it is no wonder Mykonos has been often named "the jewel" of the Aegean Sea.

RM60+ per pax. It is something like brunch hi-tea buffet, serve from 12pm to 4pm. An advance booking is necessary. I will definitely go back again!

Santorini, Greece is always my dream place to travel ever since i saw a celebrity wedding dinner held there. No doubt it is a good place to held wedding ceremony or dinner there with your greatest family and relatives around you.

Technopreneur Pre-Seed Fund Programme

2008-06-26T18:56:00.000-07:00

My colleague introduce me this programme which can earn RM1.5 per person and the participants need to be in group of 5 persons. Which means you probably can earn 7.5k per month. So far I heard of 2 persons strike this 'lottery'. As in each batch, there is only 10 grants will be given. 1 of them i heard is a politician, the other one is just very lucky to get the grant. His IT proposal is pretty simple but somehow he got the grant. He is currently quit his current job and enjoy the RM7.5k per month for 2 years. To find out more about this programme... http://www.technopreneurdevelopment.net.my/cms/AllProduct.asp?CatID=122

MSC Malaysia’s Technopreneur Pre-Seed Fund Programme is initiated in RMK9 to catalyze the creation of local Technopreneurs and K-SMEs in ICT towards growing the local ICT Industry. This programme addresses the funding gap at pre-seed stage and is expected to boost the development of commercially viable ICT projects and kick off a chain reaction in the creation of new local K-SMEs in ICT.

The targeted beneficiaries are local Technopreneurs. Only individuals are eligible to apply, not existing companies. The programme offers up to RM150k of conditional funding to develop viable business plans into commercially focused ICT projects with prototype and detailed business plans suitable for venture funding & commercialization. As a developmental programme, it is not a pure grant and recipients will also benefit from development, mentoring services and access to shared lab facilities at MSC Malaysia Status Incubators provided through MDeC’s Technopreneur Development programme.

Have you donate money to China earthquake victims?

2008-06-25T18:22:00.000-07:00

I have donated some money to China earthquake victims last month by mailing a cheque to Sin Chew Jit Pow.
The amount that i donated are not a lot... but it just something that i can contribute from my income to show my condolense to them. Surprisingly when i approach my family to donate, they refuse straight away. I went to Genting Highlands last month, there are a lot of people throw stacks of money to the table. I wonder why don't they donate those money to the person who needs?

What is Love and Marriage

2008-06-19T23:19:00.000-07:00

A student asks a teacher: "What is love?"

The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, go through first row, he saw one big paddy, But he wonders.... may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, "This is love... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already missed the person."

The student asked, "What is marriage then?" The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he felt satisfied, and came back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "This time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage."

Positve attitude in life

2008-06-19T20:24:00.001-07:00

Never cry for any relation in life
Because for the one whom you cry
Does not deserve your tears
And the one who deserves
Will never let you cry!

Treat everyone with politeness
Even those who are rude to you,
Not because they are not nice
But because you are nice!

Never search your happiness in others
Which will make you feel alone,
Rather search it in yourself
You will feel happy!

Even if you are left alone always have
A positive attitude in life.
There is something positive in every person.
Even a stopped watch is right twice a day!
Happiness always looks small
When we hold it in our hands.
But when we learn to share it,
We realize how big and precious it is!

Bali Trip

2008-06-19T20:20:00.000-07:00

I plan to go for second trip to Bali and maybe will choose other place like Nusa Dua. Gosh, i just cant wait to go there.

Happiness

2008-06-19T20:18:00.000-07:00

All the suffering in the world arises out of wanting happiness for self. All happiness in the world arises out of wanting happiness for others. A reason why we are unhappy is that we are not true to ourselves. Paradoxically, we are also untrue to ourselves when we are untrue to others, as true sincerity to yourself naturally overflows to those around you.

How (un)happily we relate to others is related to our happiness, since much of our lives involves relating to others. When we speak of being true to ourselves, it is usually mistaken that we should simply do whatever we fancy for ourselves.

Obviously, this doesn't really bring happiness. If it does, we would be perfectly happy already. This means we are doing the wrong things to be happy. Being true means being aligned with the truth, qualities of which include the realisation of generosity, loving-kindness and wisdom. Often, happiness is sought through their opposites - attachment (to personal happiness), aversion (to those who "threaten" our happiness) and delusion (about what is happiness). Attachment and aversion arise from this delusion, which keeps true happiness.

A common symptom of unhappiness is the complaint that we want happiness, but others make us unhappy. The truth is no one other than ourselves can make us unhappy. We are unhappy about others only when we choose to relate to them in an unhappy manner. Flip this around and it is equally true - those who "make" you unhappy should realise that the cause of unhappiness is not you, but in how they choose to relate to you. If our happiness is always determined by how others treat us, how can we be truly happy? What if someone deluded thinks that making you unhappy brings happiness for oneself?

Be generous, loving and wise to that person. Respond with sincerity. Seek to understand and bring happiness to that person. Focus on dissolving the person's unhappiness instead of being unhappy with how that person is affecting you. This also dissolves your unhappiness about that person. It's a win-win situation. Retaliating with aversion would only perpetuate unhappiness on both sides.

What if those unhappy with us do not appreciate our sincerity? This is still no cause for you to be unhappy. True sincerity expects no reciprocation. It simply does what is right - that aligned to happiness. There is happiness in knowing we are blameless, when we do our best to bring others happiness. The only ones who hold our happiness ransom is us.

For instance, if someone is unhappy with me for saying the Earth is round, why should I be unhappy about that? The truth is that the Earth is not flat. Others' unhappiness with the truth has no power to make us unhappy if we are at peace with the truth. Likewise, others' unhappiness with the trueness of our sincerity has no power to make us unhappy. The options are obvious - If we do not choose to relate to those unhappy with us happily, we choose to relate to them unhappily.

Our happiness first comes from how kindly and wisely we relate to the universe; not how it treats us. Yet the kinder and wiser we are, the kinder and wiser

To be unhappy, have expectations that others make you happy. To be happy, make others happy without expectations.

Biggest Sleeping Buddha in Penang

This is miracle buddha statue in one of the temple. Pray and make a wish, if your wish will come true you can carry the buddha. Second time ask for confirmation, if you are not able to carry the buddha means the buddha is confirm your wish will come true.Some people feel very heavy and can't lift up the buddha at all, some just lift up easily. I have a try as well, first time carry but feel very heavy. My friends told me got 5kg.

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-12T19:04:00.000-07:00

My mom-in-law gave us a surprise by touching down on Sat night. Since we have wedding dinner to attend at Renaissance Hotel, we were not able to pick her at KLIA. I suggested to have brunch the next day on Sunday at Ah Yak Abalone Restaurant. When i woke up the next morning, my darling changed place to Oriental Restaurant where we had our wedding dinner 3 years back. The restaurant have shifted along with the Jaya supermarket. The restaurant look very grand and packed with many families. Yeah, it's a mother's day. We spent RM170 for 4 persons. My parents-in-law were a little surprise, as usually i would not have any celebration with them on mother's day. Cause i do not like to squeeze within the crowd. I normally will have the celebration one week earlier or later. We ordered cod fish, venison, ostrich, and veg. I love Oriental Restaurant each of their food are yummy. Till today all my friends and relatives still can remember my wedding dinner because of the good food they serve. After brunch, we sent them home and chat a little bout my mom-in-law's life in Australia for 2 months. We head to Digital Mall, a new place rather than Imbi Plaza to get IT gadgets. This place is more spacious. I bought 10 pieces of DVD-R for burning photos for my parents, my darling bought a Olympus Camera for my birthday! Yea,that is the model i showed in my blog earlier before. I forgot to call my mom to wish her happy mother's day. She called me at night and 'scold' me. :D haha..

Quote of the day

2008-05-05T19:37:00.001-07:00

What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple.
Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter.

Recap 1st May -Labour Day

Just a recap what i did on 1st of May. Received last minute call from Edison, he invited us to go Janice Concert at Stadium Merdeka. He got 30+ free tickets from his cousin who worked in Celcom. Obviously it was some partnership with Celcom. I watched Kelly Chen in the same place before. Janice has more crowd compare to Kelly's one. Recently i like to sing Janice songs, few songs of hers are my favourite. Overall it is quite boring. Luckily we got Joel from 太极 as a guitarist sang a song for us. Aiks i dont remember the song title again. But definitely it is my love song ever since i was young. One line of the lyric.. i will love you till i die.. waoo.. kill me!

I can see Janice still young and have not much experience in concert. She did not create the ambience where bring everyone to a top climate.

Recap of 5th May,

Attent Fanny and Dae's wedding dinner at Golden Horse Palace. It is a first garden dinner i ever attend. It sounds very romantic to have wed dinner at garden, NO WAY!! It is damn fucking hot man. We should blame the weather. Global warming! I thought the weather will get cooler after 10pm. It is not! The food is nice, the bride is pretty so as the groom is handsome. They had this dinner only for friends. Another dinner is organised for their family and relatives. As they do not want to take ang pow from us, we scratched our head hard to get them something. Finally i bought a decoration, with wed gown and hat. My dear friend likes earings, she can hang those stuff on it.

Recap of 6th May,

My darling's relative - Uncle David came back from US, Texas. He is an american. I do not have good impression on american, because most of them are arrogant. Surprisingly he is very friendly! This is my first time meeting him, his wife- Auntie Julie will come on 23rd May. He has not come back to Malaysia for 6 years. He invited us to hear music at PJ Hilton, Uncle Chilis. First time i've been there. It is a music week now. There are 14 bands perform on the stage unplugged. The drinks and beverage we spent there will go for donation. I noticed a Mat Salleh couple brought their kids there. The wife smoke in front of the kids. They let the kids running here and there. Happening couple indeed. Auntie Joanne brought Uncle David to Hi-Tea at One World Hotel. She commented the food they serve are superb! Cost RM60 per person. Hmm.. one day must ask Linda to go with me. Both of us are Hi-Tea freak. :D

This is the world of Blogging

2008-04-22T00:15:00.000-07:00

Recently me and my friends talk about blog. A lot of people blogging now, not only teenagers. Politicians like Teresa Kok and Lim Kit Siang also blog. teresakok.com http://blog.limkitsiang.com/ But it is pretty amaze that, some people do not accept blogging, says this is waste of time and reveal their privacy and thoughts. Everyone has different thoughts, as long as you do not hurt people/backstab in the blog.

Preventive Vaccination for cervical cancer

2008-04-20T22:12:00.000-07:00

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, the place where a baby grows during pregnancy. Cervical cancer is caused by several types of a virus called human papillomaviruses (HPV). The virus spreads through sexual contact. Most women's bodies are able to fight HPV infection. But sometimes the virus leads to cancer. You're at higher risk if you smoke, have many children, use birth control pills for a long time, or have HIV infection.

Cervical cancer may not cause any symptoms at first, but later, you may have pelvic pain or bleeding from the vagina. It usually takes several years for normal cells in the cervix to turn into cancer cells. Your health care provider can find abnormal cells by doing a Pap test - examining cells from the cervix under a microscope. By getting regular Pap tests and pelvic exams you can find and treat changing cells before they turn into cancer.

For more regarding the cervical cancer, you may see below from the star.
http://thestar.com.my/health/story.asp?file=/2007/11/18/health/20071118110137&sec=health

It reminds me of Anita Mui, who died because of cervical cancer. There is no curative during that time. Recently they found preventive vaccination where we can take from any gynae, that is pap smear and injection. Inject the vaccine for 3 times in first year, follow by 1 injection in half year, then 1 injection per year. This info might not be correct, as so far there is not many woman done the vaccination. I plan to go for check up as well.

潑辣

2008-04-20T22:11:00.001-07:00

潑辣的女人有十大優點 ..

我媽告訴我：「要娶個單純又乖的女孩回家」
一直到現在三十好幾還搞不清楚什麼是"單純又乖 "
難怪我媽說我"笨"

男人都以為潑辣的女人不好，
其實真正懂得女人的男人，
反而爭相要找潑辣女子當一生的伴侶：
為什麼呢？
因為，潑辣的女人有十大優點：

1、天資聰穎，思想敏銳：
潑辣的女性一般先天素質比較好、智力發達、頭腦清醒、感覺敏捷。
因此，她不僅是男人生活中的親密伴侶，而且還是他事業上的重要助手。

2、能吃苦耐勞，不怕困難：
潑辣的女性之所以潑辣，在很大程度上是因為她們說到做到、拿得起、放得下，做事有魄力有擔當，看不慣的東西馬上動手就改，為家庭建設勇於犧牲。

3、富於競爭性，有勇於進取的精神：
她們對自己的能力確信不疑、非常樂觀，因此不論在物質生活上還是精神生活方面，總不甘居人後。

4、愛清潔、會料理：
她們在居家上? |要求整潔;穿衣則要入時、大方，絕不讓自己看起來窩囊、邋遢。

5、開朗大方，善於交際：由於其性格豪放，不會小家子氣，因此適應環境的能力頗佳。

6、精打細算，持家有術：
在家庭建設、計畫開支，生活安排各方面善於動腦、巧於安排。

7、辦事果斷，自立性強：
很少會依賴他人，其天性有主見、有膽識，凡事乾脆俐落。

8、心直口快，率直無偽：
潑辣女子一般都有追求完美的天性、對不盡人意的事物，往往有啥說啥，快人快語，
甚至常常被人視為惹不起。其實這正好反映了她們率直無偽的性格。

9、作風正派，心地無邪：
潑辣的女性之所以潑辣，往往與他們作風正派、心地坦蕩是分不開的。

10、剛中含柔，柔中帶情：
潑辣的女性往往對丈夫更溫柔，她們的愛情生活更浪漫，更有柔情蜜意，令人稱羨
但結論是
大部分男人總是比較喜歡笨女人

My hubby prefer girls to be 潑辣.. haha.. i just half 潑辣 not too extreme if compare to other girls.

Holding on to relationship

2008-04-17T22:34:00.000-07:00

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don 't fall into the river.' The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.' 'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father. 'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl. 'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.'

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.
So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.

Sean Kingston, The Zouk

2008-04-15T23:06:00.001-07:00

Last weekend was very fruitful but i experience a serious handicap - deafness.

Recap of 3rd April 08, Thur

Dinner at King Crab.

Recap of 4th April 08, Fri

Went to The Zouk for Sean Kingston and party until 2am in the morning. Long island tea only cost RM80 for 2 jugs before 12pm. What a good deal. Bump into some friends during the party. First time clubbing after 3 yrs long. My ears could not stand of the blasting sounds from the loud speaker & noise. I turned to be half deaf until today. It's been 5th days after the incident. My ears can hear better now.

Recap of 5th April 08, Sat

Felt very tired, sleeping whole day. Amazingly im able to sleep under the loud noise of the renovation next noise. The constructor came to fix my 2 ceiling fans in the afternoon. Finally my fans was fixed! it's been laying down in my storeroom for 1 year. Had dinner at Decanter at PJ with Johny and wife. Continue with yumcha with Johny and Netcat.

Recap of 6th April 08, Sun

Dim sum at King's Crab, Kelana Jaya cause i have 3 voucher to get 3 plates of dim sum free. The best part was, we can choose whichever plates to free regardless of the price. For eg, if we order 10 plates, they will only free us those with lowest price. But this time, they let us choose the plates we would like to get free. Of cause we chose the most expensive one, which is scallop ju chiong fun cost at RM12!Went back to parents-in-law house afterwards. Our next dim sum planning at Melaka, and Ah Yak Abalone at the following week. *Drool..

Just got back my Blackberry from Maxis Customer Centre. Thanks to the technical support, Alan gave me a big help to fix my phone.

Just download a theme from http://forums.crackberry.com below, try to figure out how to upload to my blackberry.

Tonight I am going to Sean Kingston mini concert at The Zouk. It's been long i didnt go to Zouk. I've retired from going clubbing after married. Life is more stable now.

My hubby insisted to get Canon Ixus as our 2nd digital camera, because the one we have now - Canon S3 is a bit too bulky. I suggested him to buy Olympus µ 1030, as im tiring of Canon. Canon S3 is our 3rd camera. 1st and 2nd also Canon. 1st one spoilt and cant be fixed, 2nd one being stolen. The significant of it is waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof and crushproof.

Yogyakarta? Jogyakarta?

2008-04-01T22:44:00.000-07:00

Throughout the research i've made on internet, i was reffered to as Yogyarkata, and short term is call Yogja. However, i found out AirAsia call this place Jogyakarta. Freak me out! I thought i've departed wrong plane. =.=

RM1 = RP2833 (Money Exchange at KLCC)

Total Expenditure = RM1320

Breakdown:

Manohara Hotel including breakfast for 2 rooms, 3D2N = RM 592
RM140 = To and flow from airport to hotel and from hotel to airport.
RM160 = Day tour (transport only-6 seater van)
RM120 = Meal (for 4)
RM140 = Prambanan entrance (for 4)
RM140 = Airport departure tax (for 4)
RM3 = Parking (exclusive from transport fees)
RM25 = souveniers

Depart from = AirAsia LCCT
Arrive at = Adisucipto International Airport

Attraction places visited:

Borobudur Temple
Prambanan Temple
Plaoson Temple
Keraton Sultan Palace
Taman Sari Water Palace
Malioboro Market

For anyone who would like to hire a driver to tour around Yogja, you can try to contact Bayu, 081804384552. He can speak a little english. But remember do not ask him to bring you to restaurant, cause the food he recommended was not up to our taste, and expensive.

Here are some of the photo:

Indonesia food and also my favourite, Gado-gado

Indonesia Cendol - a lot of coconut milk as you see in the picture, the jelly is much more softer compare to malaysia one.

Malioboro Street, where you can buy many souveniers. You need to bargain at lease 1 to 2 times cheaper than the product. No joke!

Snap shot of the Volcano from Borobudur.

Taman Sari Water Palace, there are few huge swimming pool.

Prambanan Temple, entrance fee is USD10. I find this is not worthwhile because after the earthquake happen, a lot of blocks have collapsed and hence they do not allow tourist to enter. By paying USD10 we can just walk through the pathway which my hands cant touch and feel the wall.

If not mistaken, this should be Plason Temple.

Relaxation

2008-03-26T23:27:00.000-07:00

The spa yesterday was awesome. I chose Serenity for my body massage. The masseur lead me to the chaning room. Along the way, we pass by a beautiful garden on my left. I was very amaze by the changing room. It was very huge and comfy. There is a big jacuzzi inside as well. The jacuzzi was facing their garden. Initially i planned to go for massage first then jacuzzi. I just could not resist to jump into the jacuzzi. The bubble generated shooting high and strong. It gives me another kind of massage. I chose lavendar for my massage oil. Dunno whether they purposely arrange or what, the shampoo, conditioner, body shampoo and lotion all are lavender smell. But too bad i was enjoying that moment myself. I will definitely go back to Sembunyi Spa again.

Another vendor dinner to attend tonight.

Sembunyi Spa

2008-03-26T02:26:00.000-07:00

Close down my blog, and open a new blog. There is a reason behind which make my whole day moody. Nvm, let's start the new journey again!

I am going to Sembunyi Spa at Cyberview Lodge Hotel tonight to indulge myself a full body massage, sauna, and jacuzzi. Whereas my hubby going to attend his grandmom's birthday. I am not able to make it, as each time i'll be late to the dinner. Travel from Cyberjaya to PJ is not near, thus traffic jam that killing.
