Phoenix - Las Vegas - Los Angeles

Phoenix

Grand Canyon

Disneyland California

Universal Studio Hollywood

Las Vegas

Work & play at the same time doesn't make the holiday very fun.

Gotta go back on time, thinking about training stuff, meetings, work, report...

But it's really a good experience and eye opener. i learnt something about the people & place -

people drive very fast in LA, nothing but gambling & partying in Vegas, people bring their baby or very old parents to the theme park because there are facilities everywhere...it's very rare to see this in Msia.

in short, "the citizens know what to do and the governement knows what to do", that makes them so advanced and civilized.

Friendship.Laughter.Togetherness.

can't wait to meet the old friends...

bringing back old memories at Skudai...

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Chai!

I will be going back Malacca tomorrow night straight after work. Hopefully there won't be any massive jam. I know somehow or rather there will be a jam but just keep my fingers crossed that it won's be so serious. Can't wait to meet my cousins. But unfortunately, my sis couldn't make for CNY. She has to work. She is working in China and all the China people will be on leave but the company still operates so she has to work lo.. This news somehow bring down my CNY mood. Not being able to reunite with all my family members. I need more CNY songs!!

And tomorrow itself will be my last day in TMR. Will be starting my new job in ON after CNY. Although I didn't really like the management system of TMR, but I really have learnt a lot which I think is very useful for my next job as a Product Engineer. Some of the most important things I learnt are communication with colleagues, customers and suppliers and also project management. I always wanna make sure everything is in order and my project runs smoothly but there will always be problems due to the management system which I think is a total waste. If not because of the management system, I believe this company can progress even better. Anyhow, I need to move forward and turn over a new leaf. And what better way to start a new job than right after CNY! Wish me luck ya.

New Year Resolutions. It's kinda late to list down my resolutions only now but let's just make it my 'chinese' new year resolutions. Basically, it doesn't differ much from my previous resolutions. And I can proudly say that I manage to achieve 80% of my last year's resoultion. There rest were subjective and I believe only others can judge. For example, my resolutions to be a better person. But I did try though. =)

And as for this year,
- I wanna set a good platform for my career. I wanna do my best in my new job and develop a good career. I believe that working in an established company can bring me far. So it's all up to me whether or not to grab the oppurtunity.
- I wanna spend more time with my family members. As we are not seeing each other everyday since my uni days, my relationship with my parents has became stronger. We appreciate each other even more and we make sure every minute together is spent with joy which is why I always look forward to go back. Moreover, they are not young anymore. We should spend more time with them whenever we can. I just wanna say that both of them are the upmost important people in my life.
- Again, to travel overseas more. It's been my dream to travel around the world to see outside Malaysia..their culture, lifestyle, buildings etc. It's the curiousity to see and experience different things because the world is so big and we are only at one tiny side of the world.
- Lastly, I wish to be better in terms of personality and financial. I really think I have changed emotionally especially during that time of the month. Previously, I don't have this problem but now the PMS is getting obvious. Something's wrong with me. I get irritated very easily. I become sentitive to the small things. I must try and control. And I need to control my spendings and save more especially with the economy's condition now.


HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR & MAY THE YEAR OF OX BRINGS YOU HAPPINESS & WEALTH!

Be Good for Xmas

I have been a bad girl lately. I have been complaining a lot about my manager and even ganged up with my other collegues gossiping about him. But we really cannot tahan his management skills and leadership. He doesn't join us for meetings with customers and yet wanna ask this and that. In fact, it's part of his responsibilities to deal with customers. And he never help us when we have problems. Only when the customer complains to him, then only he takes action. He always like to talk big when everything he said is wrong and when he knows nothing. When he realizes he is wrong, then only he keeps quiet. If front of us he acts like a tiger, but in front of big boss he shrinks into a rat. Whatever..he just makes me doesn't respect him at all. Here I go again. Can't stop when start mentioning him. Bad, very bad and unhealthy. So from today onwards I will try my best to tahan and SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL AND SPEAK NO EVIL..at least before I start my new job next year Feb.



P/S: Went to watch Ip Man (pronounced as yip mun) on Monday. A movie based on true life. About a sifu who used kungfu to stand for the Chinese during Japanese occupation. Strongly recomended. 5 stars. must watch.

Last but not least, have a warm and merry christmas with your loved ones. =)

Classic Beauty

Have you ever seen a beauty which is like so exquisite that you just can't take your eyes off? You must think that this is a guy's thing but to me, I always admire the beauty of girls. And I admire those guys who respect and appreciate girls. Well, if you have read my previous post, you'd know that I am currently obsessed with vintage and classic stuff. Gosh, it's like being posessed. I just didn't realize when the fanatic came in. I have been watching Atonement, Egde of Love and Breakfast at Tifanny's. I have been listening to 50's and 60's songs. I have been downloading the old movies and songs. I have been reading blogs on vintage clothings on daily basis. I have been even dreaming of having my own restaurant with the vintage feel and displays of antiques. I felt so close to the old decades. why?? I also don't understand but I do believe vintage is gold and precious. In fact, all the fashion and style we see nowadays are all inspirations of the olden days.

And since my eyes are so familiar with vintage classic beauty lately, I now only begun to discover the beauty of Kiera Kinghtley and Audrey Hepburn. I know I am kinda late. I absoloutely love Kiera's vintage look which is why she has been acting a lot of classic movies. I adore her looks especially with nude make-up. Simple and classic. And Audrey, need I say more? In fact, no words could describe the 'one of the most beautiful women of all time'. Fyi, she is already a legend. She died in 1993. They said she is a fashion icon who didn't follow fashion. 'She wore what suited her throughout her life, fasion trends be damned'. Well, this is something I believe in and which is so true. If a style is so in fashion, doesn't mean that you have to follow in order to be fashionable. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and pretty. That is more important coz with that only you will feel confident.

so in love with vintage stuff right now.
they are comfortable and oh-so-lovely.
plaids, tea dress, cardigans, vintage bags, leggings, ankle boots.
can't take my eyes off them.
simply irresistable.

and these oxford booties are soon to be mine.. *grin*

before I end my post, I present you a photo of my 1 month old SAGA. although I couldn't get WSH 282, but this is just as fine. at least my infamous 282 is still there. hehe.. my old kancil's condition forced me to get this car earlier. anyway, checked another one of my 2008 resolutions! =)

MAMMA MIA!

Went back last weekend and watched this movie with my mummy..just the two of us! Gosh, it has been years since I last went for a movie with her..we should do more often ok? My mum heard from her colleague that this is a must-watch movie and she just grabbed me to watch with her right after I landed Malacca that Saturday.. and I was in shorts! Luckily the cinema was not too cold.

Seriously, it was a blast. The movie was great and very touching that I cried in two scenes, when the mother and daughter spent their last minutes in a room before Sophie's wedding..I knew my mum was crying too..and another scene was when Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan sang 'The Winner Takes It All' at the hilltop..nothing special but the expression on Meryl's face and the song's meaning was touching..

Although I am not a fan of ABBA, but after watching that movie, I fell in love with 'Chiquititta', 'The Winner Takes It All' and 'I Had A Dream'. My mum is asking me to download ABBA's songs for her which I already have..I downloaded the gold collection..almost all the songs in the movie..and for your information, Meryl Streep sang all the songs in the movie which was amazing..never knew that that Oscar winner can sing so well and dance too! She's a true entertainer.

For those who have not watch the movie, go grab your parents to watch it especially if they love the oldies and they won't get bored watching musical drama. =)

Last but not least, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIS". Hope you are having the best bday celebration on your holidays! Till we meet again on CNY, take care and remember to buy me some souvenirs.

P/S: My new aset has just arrived..happy and sad coz burning a hole in my bank..huhu..

TV Series Mania

I am CRAZY over tv series and my current favourite ones are ANTM and Gossip Girl. America's Next Top Model latest season 11 is currently at episode 3. Am waiting for the 4th episode. I find Elina and Marjorie looks interesting. This season features a lesbian (Elina) and a transexual (Isis). Jay Manuel said Isis has the coutour look. Can't wait to watch the finale and see who's the winner. Love their photo session part..

Gossip Girl is getting more interesting and you kinda don't know what's the ending as thing changes every episode. I am currently at season 1 epidsode 13 though the season 2 is already out. It's addictive and it brings me back to my high school life but of course we don't have that much gossips to talk about since I was in an all-girls school. I love to see their clothings cause they are all rich people's children. 'XOXO'

I am half way through Sex and the City (season 6) and Ghost Whisperer (season 3) coz priority was given to Gossip Girl and ANTM..haha.. but both are not bad. SATC can be boring sometimes but it's interesting cause it's about different things each episode..and the girls are very WILD! Ghost Whisperer is not very scary and it's about a girl (Jennifer Love Hewitt) who can see ghosts and she'll try to help them pass message and find out the truth etc.

And I have finished the Grey's Anatomy Season 4 which features Lexis, Meredith's step sister. The ending of the season finds Meredith and Derek back together. But are they really back together for good? Guess their in-and-out of relationship will never ends. Need to see the next season to find out. =)
