feeling

Had dim sum for breakfast with parent and brothers. Rest at home, read paper, watch TV, have home cook lunch... Night time, no party though, but accompanied parent for shopping, bought a lot of groceries, got sales. Boring day for me? Not really, I have good rest, relax, can do lots of thing or can do nothing at all.

Last weekend was a long holiday, I had been to KL for 3 days, and I had went for shopping for 3 days! Haha... Everyday, we went to shopping mall a bit earlier in the morning, we tried to avoid the crowd at later time. If you go to mall at later time, you will be trapped in very bad traffic jam on the road heading to mall, or trapped in the queue at the entrance of car park. Terrible!!! Other than super hectic traffic, it was a very enjoyable trip. My siblings and me were met up in KL, 4 of us having dim sum together. :D It is rarely that we can sit together, except CNY reunion dinner. ;) Christmas decoration in the mall is very luxurious. The first thing I did once get into the mall, was taking photos at their main hall. Good to be early bird, less people, so can have good angle to snap photos. I had a fruitful shopping, a complementary gifts for myself. ehem.. got year end bonus mah, but I not spend overly lo. :D On the third day, I was shopping alone. Sister dropped me at The ...

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...

Finally, I can have a rest. My feet is extremely tired now. This morning went for gym, had a good workout for 2 hours, then took light brunch. Attended a colleague wedding lunch. This is the first time I attend a Malay wedding. :D Food was served, I like the cendol drink, very rich with creamy coconut milk. A very nice cooling drink during the extremely hot day, help to cool down a lot. The groom and bride were very stunning, bling bling... We left after greeting them and took some group photos. Stunning groom and bride Plan to meet up at Gurney. But too bad, I not able to get into Gurney parking lots, FULL. And still got so many cars queued at the parking entrance. Gave up, pickup buddy, then we went to Times Square. Uh??!! So empty? I think the occupancy of the shoplots there is 5%?? Or less? Sunshine City as the anchor was packed, other than that, nothing much there. Buddy and I were so puzzled. How long will they sustain, will it become another Komtar? Another shopping ...

Finally, we have BBQ at boss house. We plan to have this BBQ 3 years ago, it keep on been delayed, thousand of excuses... And now, finally!! I ate a lot that night. And the consequences - I worked out very hard at gym, 1 hour cycling, 30 minutes jogging, 30 minutes weight lifting, need to burn the extra kilo that I gained. :P main course the food the crowd - kids & adult "kid" :P

Penang is practicing no plastic day on every Monday since July. Hypermarket and super market will not give the plastic bag for free. Start from next year, the practice will increase to 3 days. This is a good move to save our environment. Nowadays, I can see more consumers bring the reusable bag when go for shopping. More and more consumers bring own container when order food for take away. One concern is, I am getting more reusable bags. I got 3 bags within 2 months, as gift of company events. :P
