Teambuilding @ Bayview Beach Resort

The day didn't start very well. Car pool, but need to drop by police station, boss need to pay for the fine ticket. :s That's different route, and wait there for 20 minutes. If I would know we will have this side agenda, I will not join the car pool. By the time reach the hotel, we were late. I didn't miss anything anyway, we yet to have enough head count to start the class cause most of the people used to be late. I really don't like this kind of attitude, why people can not be punctual? The agenda of the day, started with the class of "101 Relationship". Kind of the sharing of how to improve working relationship between superior and subordinate. In my opinion, it is not really helpful, as the facilitator of the class is engineer, who just got the presentation slide a night before the class, and no experience in conducting motivation course. I think to convey the message/objective of class, in a effective way, it should be conducted by certified tra...

Then enjoy the jacuzzi before taking bath. Leaving gym and heading to town at 11++am. I wanted to buy some traditional biscuits. The shop has been promoted on TV and paper and blog. It looks very promising. I tried to ask Penangists, but they not aware of the location. That area has a lot of junction,s small roads and one way streets. I parked my car aside at the main road, then scouting around to search for it. I forgot to bring the printed map, so, I walked around based on my memory, tried to match the building with the photos that I saw in the blog. Luckily I found it. It is the flat behind the shoplot, where Tai Tong Dim Sum resided, at Cintra Street. Once the boss saw me, he talked to me in Cantonese. hehe.. I not looks like local people uh.. :P Anyway, the boss is very friendly, gave me some recommendation what to buy. ...

The trip to Bali was rest and relax. 5D4N trip from 17 ~ 21 June. No hassle of rushing, a group of 7 of us, hire a van with driver and tour guide, then we were on the move. The daily activities started around 9 or 9.30am and end after dinner. The dinner quite early though, 6 or 7pm. After daily touring, we had lots of time to rest and have a good sleep. We stayed at a 3 stars hotel, in a tourism spot. Along the street, lots of pubs / clubs. I am not into the night life, not really fancy of it. So, at night, will be in the room watching TV show, HBO or AXN. :D Bali is an island that has fascinating cultures, beaches and a lot more. The food is not bad, especially the chili sauce, you might get some surprises of it spiciness!!! hehee.. Lots of Balinese style building, at first, we thought they are temple.s Tour guide explained that the wealthy land lord will have that kind of house, the entrance similar to entrance of temple. Cool!! Road in Bali is very narrow, the motorcycle is a very ...

Silent Wishes

Dad's birthday and father's day are in June. My parent is very traditional Chinese, the love and care of children never been speak out. No, I also never tell my parent that I love them. :P What to do, I inherit all their gens. hehehe.. I will try to give them something every year. Or at least be at home when the day is around the corner. Bought a cake for dad, early father's day wishes. I asked, "How's the taste?", Dad answered, "Hhmm..." (with cake in mouth). I interpreted it as "Good!". :P See.. this is my dad. He is too shame to complement, I think. So, I don't know if I am a good daughter in their heart. BTW, he finished a very big piece of cake that I passed to him. :D He like it!! Yam cake - it really taste very "yammy" :D too much cream, I would prefer if the cake layer is thicker than the cream. This morning, I amazed my mom with ginger and lemon barley drink. Yeah~~ I had this drink at a Korean restaurant, it is very...
