I saw the TV show regarding this place, 2 days before I departed to KL, looks fun. And a friend was there, said it was very fun. So, after checked with brother, he had no problem to have adventure there.. deal. Let's go for SkyTrex Adventure . SkyTrex Adventure We were supposed to book the package earlier, but luckily 3 of us able to slot into existing schedule. We started with training course. We learn the parts of the gear, the pulley, calibrator, lung yard, horizontal challenge (every obstacle is refers as challenge).. bla bla.. We had been reminded lots of times, to follow the safety rules and proper usage of the gear, which they were very very particular about those. We got a trail on training tracks, before go to the real obstacles, which are much higher rise from the ground. At first, I was quite excited and fear, but soon, I enjoyed the challenges. :D Each of their challenge has a name, but I can't remember all.. eg: crazy zig-zag, flying squirrel... most difficult chal...

KL Trip part 2 - Dining @ KL

Restoran King Crab We were having dinner at Restoran King Crab, opposite Kelana Jaya LRT station. We ordered 2 types of crabs, 1) hot and sour chili sauce with bun, 2) BBQ crab with their in-house green chili sauce. Wow.. fresh crab meat, and the bun is crispy outside and soft inside, dip into gravy of sour and hot, it's peerrrrrfect. :P Actually, the bun itself taste very good too. :P The last serving was the BBQ crab. This one is superb, I think there is no seasoning added, purely BBQ. Its look very dry from outside, but you can have original taste of the crab, fresh, juicy and meaty. Its come with special chili sauce, but I don't want to spoil the taste of crab with other flavor.. mmm.. yummy... The services are very good; they are very attentive, pouring tea and clean our plate if there was any left over of the crab shell. After dinner, too full, went to pasar malam to have a walk.. oh gosh.. long stretch of the stall, got lots of tempting food, this is an attraction of KL...

I spent my holiday with my family in KL. The main aim was to shopping for CNY cloth, but I only spent a couples of hours for shopping, not bad la.. haha.. I managed to get some cloths. :P The most enjoyable activity was... EATING... wahaha.. treated by lovely brother and sister. :P Xmas decor @ Sunway Pyramid Day 1 Heading down to KL on Christmas Day. Traffic smooth at the lane to the south, but the opposite lane was a bit heavy, but no jam. Weather was nice, gloomy and cooling day. We reached my uncle house afternoon, having home cook lunch, then I met up with a friend. Chat for few hours. :P When 2 girls started chatting, it will be non stop rally. hahaha.. but we had to stop, as she have family dinner afterward. Day 2 I had suffered in KL’s hectic traffic. It had been a long long time I freed from KL jam. :S I went to Kepong from Old Klang Road, drove half way, mum called me, requested me to fetch her from my uncle house, aiyo.. why changed her mind after I gone out. So, from Old Kl...

Celebration Dinner @ Bayview Revolving Restaurant

I was having dinner at City Bayview Hotel, the Revolving Restaurant, for project ship acceptance celebration. Colleague fetching me, we departed earlier to avoid traffic jam, and reached the restaurant around 6pm, just on time. But the restaurant receptionist said the operation hour started at 6.30pm. Is alright, I walked around (seriously is "around", cause the restaurant is circle in shape) and snapshot the photos of Georgetown. The revolving started at 6.30pm. hhmm.. I don't like it, it was a bit shaky, I felt some dizziness, concentrate on the food to divert the bad feeling.. heee.. :P pudding with creative look, the topping taste good, especially the choc stick, but pudding so so The food is so so, but I like the Yee Mee. The most excited dessert is Baskin-Robbins ice-cream. I actually had ice cream before taking the main course, because it was warm there, especially when it revolved to the side that facing the sun. sunset I tried to control myself not to eat too muc...

功夫与哲学

叶问,我觉得是近年来最出色的中文武打影片。甄子丹的功夫非常了得,那永春看是从容不迫,却力道十足。戏里除了功夫,也可以领悟到处事哲学,中国人的能耐与尊严。 戏开始时,以幽默的方式,带出叶师傅宽宏大量的个性。然后,是刻苦的日侵时代。乱世中的情缘,亲情,友情,恩情。维护尊严的反抗,让我佩服。那一抢的震撼,让我流泪,会失去这位英雄人物吗?还好,叶师傅后来的成就是让人骄傲的。 叶问 - Ip Man

Season of Eating ^_^

I was having superb food this week. :D Thanks to great buddy to bring me around to try out those food. I was having sour and spicy fish head beehoon at Sungai Ara. I was there during lunch time... err.. actually was early lunch. :P We reached there before 12, but, the place already half full seated by customers. Then, a moment later, few gangs of customer came. I guess this stall should be very famous among food lovers. We were lucky that we ordered before the next big crowded arrive. :P Our food was served within 5 minutes. I really love the soup. The soup is clear, but be careful, it is very hot, sour and spicy, it come with lots of cili padi and leman grass. You will definitely love it if you like sour stuff. I think it taste much better that tom yam at Sunshine market food court. Yummy… The weather was so hot during lunch time, but I couldn’t resist continuing sipping the soup, sweating and wet, but don’t care. Hahaha.. The stall sells other variety too, but this is the one highly ...

秘密

无意中发现了秘密,一个我不想知道的,或者说不愿知道的秘密。当时,强装镇定,若无其事。但是,没有用,我撑不了太久。这秘密的代价蛮大的,我需从新评估一个人的人格,考量应否有所防范,还可继续交心吗?我好怕,害怕会失去这么一位知己。。。一直争扎着,很痛苦。。。

Waiting for Specialist

I had a follow up medical check up of my thyroid symptom. The blood report is good. :) Previous visit to the hospital, I had spent 5 hours there for doctor consultation. This time break the record, 6 hours!!! I was in the hospital at 7.30am. The registration was started at 7am, I thought I was pretty earlier, but after I got my number, the registrar told me, my estimated time of consultation was 11:55am... oh no, have to wait so long... again???!!! Sigh... I went to their cafeteria to have breakfast. They serve vegetarian food only. I had porridge and soya bean milk, light breakfast, so that I won't fill too stuffy when sit and waiting. Read newspaper to pass my time. Buddy called me at 10.30am... haha.. just about time, I was so bored, we went for Lor Mee at Burmah Road, inside Kedai Kopi Hai Beng . The serving was fast, within 3 minutes after order. :P Or maybe at that moment, not many customer. Buddy was very tempted to try this Lor Mee few weeks ago, finally we had it. You can...

Insufficient Information

Got an assignment from boss. As usual, simple and brief statement (is statement, instead of instruction, because, it was too brief for me to understand what to do). I tried to get more detail from him personally. Too bad, I was not able to get much either. He was so busy, on call, or meeting at somewhere else... Hmm... This is what I can do, I composed a mail, stated what is the purpose, roughly write in what I can understand from my boss (seriously.. very rough idea), need feedback from project team leads. I was not been included in their mailing loop, neither I was in their discussion, I do not have their meeting minutes , I am doubt if they have it. Then I attached the historical mail, which was forwarded to me by boss. It's actually do not have complete discussion in this historical mail, I get to know this when I asked my boss what is this about. "oh.. this is not the way, it should be the other way, as what we had discussion.... bla bla... ". Then, why forward me t...

Weekend for Shopping

I have a wonderful weekend, with peace of mind, fruitful from shopping and warm stomach with delicious food. :P Friday worked till pretty late, reached home around 8pm. I was extremely tense during work, because the task must be completed by the end of the day. Another exhausted Friday night. When I was home, I noticed all of my housemate not around, I guessed they had all gone back to home town, for this long weekend. Mum called me to check with me if I back home town, well, I not going back. mm.. the conversation not even last for 1 minute. :s Now you know why I not really like to go back, I can't feel the warm from home. Neither I can feel any warm in Penang, but here I can go for shopping, eating.. even though I am alone, but I enjoy my days, enjoy my shopping, enjoy my quiet and peace at nights. Yupe, I slept tight for past few nights, no slamming door to wake me up in a sudden. Day 1 - Saturday I had completed my pending work on Saturday morning, worked since 5am (I was sl...

Weekend Started in Bad Mood

I was extremely tired of my work for the week. And here come Friday; I stayed a bit late in office to complete the tasks. When the time I back home, I was exhausted, so went to bed earlier. I was about to fall sleep... Suddenly.. bang.. bang... oh no.. house mates slamming the door again.. I was awaken, heart beating fast.. anxiously.. dragging myself.. I was too tired to be awake, but can not have a peace night for sleep, the disturbing noise last for quite some time. I not able to calm down, the noise too irritating, I felt like my heart will explode at anytime, as it was beating too fast... I felt so miserable.. crying in the dark... I don't know when it will stop; I don't understand why they need such a strong force to close the door... I don't know how I manage to survive after so many years... I burned the aromatherapy lamp beside my bed, the lavender fragrant calm me down... fall sleep.. The next day morning, wake up with dizziness and headache. Not feel like want t...

Japanese Style Casual Restaurant - Kirishima

A friend came to Penang from KL. As he stayed in Cititel, so we met up and having dinner at the Japanese restaurant of the hotel. I never been there, but heard the comments from others, said the food there is superb and the price is costly too. :P So many things that looks very yummy from the menu. While waiting for our set meal, we had some sushi and light snack first. :P The set meal portion is very large, but I managed to finish the serving, it is very delicious and I had enjoyed the meal very much. The meal cost RM138++, expensive but worth to try. ;) The food here is much nicer that those I had tried before. Yeah, my friend did tell the truth, this is one of the best Japanese restaurants. Kirishima deep fried potato cake unagi roll unagi set meal - the portion is big, but I manage to finish all. :P shashimi set meal

Coordination not in Place

I was wasted my time and effort, doing something that I knew it will be obsolete. Before I started the procedure, I asked for clarification from boss, due to document not reflected the new process yet, so follow previous step first. Sigh.. the document had been gone thru the review, but at that time, the key personnel did not give any feedback, they are the contact person that deal with the other party and have most of the detail of new process. When I wanted to implement the procedure, the document is updating, but for mean time, I have to follow previous steps first.. crap! crap! crap!!! I am wasting my time to perform the task that is going to be void, while waiting for them to give me updated guideline at very last minutes. Ya ya.. Manager’s time is precious; engineer's time can be wasted. This new process has been planned few months back, and expected to be implement at this project release. I was surprised that the date committed to each party is not sync. Party A plan for th...

Relaxing SPA

Sunday morning, good weather. I slept tight. This could be an amazing thing for me, who always suffer from sleeping problem. :P I had an appointment for SPA treatment, at Lucy Belle , E-Gate. I bought a voucher during July, when they had road show at New World Park. The voucher cost RM99, it is buy 1 free 3 treatment course. I choose to have body brush (massage), spa bath (jacuzzi), hot back and head spa. The normal price for all the treatment that I had for the day cost RM460!!! wahaha... I am so lucky!!!! The treatment started with muscle relief (松筋), the masseur told me most of the massage treatment will skip this part. If it is skipped, you might feel some pain after massage. The lady masseur very strong, but I felt very comfortable with the strength she put on me. :D Just nice with correct tactic and method. I had head spa (头刮) too, it helps to circulate blood of head, she used some tools to scratch my head. Then I went to spa bath. It is a mini jacuzzi bath tub. It is in a bath ...

Missing

Something is missing. Could it be I lost interest in my job? Could it be I was too too busy for past few weeks. Could it because of someone? Could it be my sleepless night that cause me so moody? Alone at home this weekend, I am hugging my bear bear, and feel missing... miserable.. :'(

At a Click of Finger

Feel so frustrated!!!! Boss thought all tasks can be done in just a finger click. For him, of course can be done. All he has to do is, write a sentence, send the mail to delegate the tasks. :( So, I need to be brilliant enough to interpret that one line sentence instruction. I think I am stupid, cause most of the time I can not get the clue what to do. The delegation info is too brief for us to understand task. :( If want to personally ask him, if you lucky enough, you will be able to catch him immediately to get further detail, else, you might need to wait for hours. Sick of waiting, sick of lacking info, sick of lots task pending. I already started the task at the first moment I got the list, and today, he sounds pathetic and asked, how come the submission not done yet? almost a week, since Monday. Adoi.. I got the list from him on Wednesday, don't know he purposely forgot the date or what? !@#$%^& I am very hurt, when the boss underestimate my capability, I am working very ...

Penang Bridge International Marathon

Mission Accomplished.. YEAH~~ I had participated in 25KM half marathon. I completed the run in 3 hours 45 minutes, although it was exceeding the 3.5 hours set by organizer, but I still get my certificate and medal. hehehe... certificate and medal I woke up before 3am, get prepared, be in registration counter at around 4am. The road to the starting point, Queensbay had been block. I parked my car to the nearest road block, and walked for 10 minutes to Queensbay, treat it as warm up before actual run. :D My category started at 5am. The participants of this year was much lesser than last year, or most of the people joined 10KM fun run? I ran for half way, until the checking point at Butterworth toll plaza, after made a U turn, I not manage to run anymore, but walked along the way back to ending point, at Queensbay again. I was surprised my stamina can cope for longer run compare to last year. hahaha.. yo.. keep it up!!! My muscles not feel, but the blister on my right foot is hurt. :( Hop...

Buffet Lunch at E&O

I had a buffet lunch at E&O Hotel , at their Sarkies Corner coffee shop. We reached there earlier, snapshot some photos before lunch time. :D I like the cozy environment there. Of course, I like the food there too. :P cozy surrounding @ E&O Hotel enjoy the sea breeze pondering... They served chicken herbal soup on the day. Wow, the smell and taste of the herb really good. I love their dessert. I took the photos of the dessert, before anyone touch it. By look at it, I can feel the taste will be very nice. :) We ate slowly, from 12 noon, stayed still 1.45pm. Try every single dishes? No lo, took a bite of each dish, but still not able to try all them, too full. There are lots of variety of food, and they serve quite a number of seafood. I like their teppanyaki, especially those fish that grill with minimum seasoning. yum.. yum.. Dessert time!!! oh.. the chocolate cake was just nice, not too sweet, the chocolaty mixing well with the cream. Fat??? well, I will think about it later. ...

Thoughts of my Career

I already lost my target in working life. Nowadays, working is merely my responsibility. I have to commit the tasks that assigned to me. I do not have passion to go further advance. I was not like this few years back. I had career vision, I knew what I want to achieve, I set the target and work hard and smart toward my objective. Well, that was the past. Now, I lost my motivation, I can not do what I plan to do. At the end of the year, we will have review session with boss, to evaluate the performance of the year, and planning for coming year. For me, the planning still pending as a plan. How come so difficult for me to implement those task? Am I not efficient? Or am I too efficient and need to take up more responsibilities? My interest is to involve myself to explore deeper to my domain knowledge, so that I can know how to improve my current working process, make it better, make it more productive. I am very tired of my daily routine. It is repeated exercises. Attend more meetings, e...

Friday Working Freak!!!

I awoke at 4++ am, tried to get back to sleep again, but failed. :( Since I have so many pending tasks, I login to company network and start my work of the day. It is Friday, and I start my work in such an early hour. :(( If only I can get off earlier today (cross my fingers). Last night, I continue my work from home after back from office, till 11.30pm. Boss is not around this week. I can eat snake?? No way... I have tasks to be completed, and some more, need to follow up those tasks of my boss while he is not around... pity me.. TOO LOADED, in term of workload, but not income... sigh.. Sky getting bright outside, time to wash-up and go to office. I know it is still very early, but I really have too many things to do. Next few weeks will be very busy for me too, as the project going to due. I NEED A BREAK.. I NEED HOLIDAY....

Valuable Time with Friends

Meeting up with some school mates today. I felt very glad to meet them. We seldom have such gathering since we left school or university. We paid a visit to a friend, who going to be a mother very soon. She is expecting the baby by next week. We had chit chatting for couple of hours. A friend brought her son together, if he was not making noise, I think our girls' talk will not end so soon. :P The next stop was Bukit Genting. Ya.. A nice and cozy place to enjoy Thai food. :) We ordered deep fried kangkung, claypot taufu, omelet, green curry, kelabu and tomyam seafood. The meal won't be perfect without dessert... oh.. what a wonderful meal!! I am grateful cause a friend treating us. :D some of the food that we ordered After the dinner, I went to a friend's house, continue chatting, browse photo... It was such a valuable time for me, to hang out with friends that seldom meet up, even all of us working in Penang. Do keep in touch ya.. ;)

Take a break

This had been a very busy week for me. The counterpart from Cheng Du visited Penang office. On top of my busy and ad hoc schedule, I needed to include the sharing session with them. I hardly to have time to take a break. :( Finally is weekend, I went to watch James Bond. If you do not like the previous episode, then I don't think you will like this one. Well, I guess their gadget lab been shutdown... :P No more Bond's gadget in the show. The fighting and chasing scenes quite a lot, from land to sea to air. For me and my friend, we were yawning during the show. You will like it, if you like action movie with lots of fighting scenes. The desktop in M's office is very impressive. The desktop is the desk, no mouse, use fingers to click and drag the icon or file. If wanna share on wider screen, can even drag to the monitor on the wall. Wow... so cool. :D I think one dialogue is missing in the show: "I am Bond, James Bond." I did not hear it in the show, or I missed i...

无辜小熊

无辜小熊,加入了我的抱抱家族。嘻嘻。。。 无辜小熊 我的床边,有大大小小的枕头或抱枕,或小熊。刚刚又添了个无辜小熊。 抱着软绵绵的小熊。。。 让寂寞时的我,有个人在陪伴着。 让冰冷的时候,也可以感到温暖。 当高兴的时候,可以对着它笑笑。 当悲伤的时候,可以抱着它哭泣。 当无聊的时候,可以对它发个愣。

WeekEND

This is a tiring weekend for me. I am not going to write too much of it, but will post some photos. sunset @ Gurney Having dinner at Taiwan Fast Food Restaurant, LG floor @ Gurney Plaza lamp decor the food, must try their beef noodles - the set come with drink and dessert Sunday morning, I went to Tzu Chi Charity Food Fair, held at Tapak Pesta. Wow.. so crowded, I tried very hard to get a car park, but have to walk some distance to get to the place. This year, they do not provide the take away packing bag, so, we have to bring our own container. This is to align with their recycle and environmental friendly theme. It was so hot and crowded. Tzu Chi Charity Food Fair

Back To School!!!

Yeah.. That was the theme of my company Dinner & Dance this year. The dinner was held at Bayview Beach Resort at Batu Ferrighi. Well, I was not wearing anything like student or teacher, but just to make myself to look young. Erm.. I do not need much effort for me to look young, right? I AM STILL YOUNG!!! hahaa... The foyer of the ballroom had photo corner, which was the study corner of kindergarten. :D The committees were so thoughtful, they prepared some old school time's games and the junk food for us. Good effort for us to remind us of our old time. ;) kid's corner games junk food There were quite a number of colleagues wearing like in school time. Most of them transformed themselves as student. Japanese student's costume is the most popular; I guess it is more fashionable. Besides student, we had scout, navy, teacher.... The dinner started with a film, starring by committees member, which brought us back to school time, the study, puppy love, ambitious to be eng...
