The Airport

The airport is one place which can bring many different types of feelings depending on the purpose you are at the airport for...

It could bring you excitement when you are going somewhere...

Or it could bring you sadness when you are sending off someone...

But best of all...the anticipation and joy when you are picking up someone you have been looking forward to meet so much :D

Dont you think so?

The 27th of April 2007

Alas!!!

The long awaited day is finally here...my last day in office

Spent the last 2 days throwing out documents and stuffs and still i used up the whole of the afternoon to clean up everything...

First it was like this...

And now...

Nice,clean and TIDY!

Makes me wonder whether my ex-company is happy to see me go or not...wahahah

THERE GOES THE EYE-SORE!

Went for the EXIT interview this morning...have you ever heard of such a thing??? well ive never until my own...

And i was there being psycho-ed by the HR manager for ONE HOUR into thinking i made the WRONG MOVE in resigning! What lah!

Well at least this is one interview i know i just WILL NOT fail! hahaha

I almost sang this out loud

Please release me, let me go,

For I don't love you anymore.

To live a lie would be a sin.

Release me and let me love again.

Well...another before after pic...

Somehow i just cannot believe that my cube can be THIS tidy...

Had one hell of a time un-pinning all those keychains and plush toys and toys and bears...

And ended up with one box full of these...

HOHOHO...

I took a walk down memory lane when i had to delete all those funny mails from the gals and important announcements...ahhhh...but everything just have to go!

I told the gals i shant make good friends at my new company cos it will be hard to say goodbye...but life have to go on...i have to leave the company when its time to leave

Wrote "goodbye letters" to the gals,colleagues and customers...and it is only when you r leaving, you feel appreciated! hahaha...the irony

Took a good look at my surroundings and my cube ... the very thing which has become part of my everyday life for the past 3 yrs...the smell of the office and even the sound of the footseps my colleagues make when they walk pass my cube...and who does what at what time :)

It has been and WAS my second home ...

So thats it...another milestone is reached and another chapter of my life is due to start very soon...for the better or for the worst...i'll leave that to God but as for now the sun sets on this very chapter...

Wish me luck now!

Farewell Dinner

Just got back from my farewell dinner sponsored by the boss? hehehe

Its a restaurant where its buffet consists mostly of meat. The waitresses will keep coming round with big giant skewers of meat and will cut a smallllllllll piece of it for u

Personally, i dont really fancy coming here for the buffet...thats just too much meat for me

There is chicken,beef,lamb,fish,mussels and various type of sausages

If i remember correctly the last time i went there i fell sick few days after *touch wood*

Flying Ants

Have you ever seen flying ants???

I dont mean those big ants-lookalike with very visible wings kind of insects...

these mutants looks 100% like ants and they FLY!!!

It all started one day when i was at my desk and i saw a black ant crawling across my organizer.

So i tried to squash it flat (hee the sadist in me made me do that)

But the ant was GONE!!!! How can it be??? i saw it under my palm just a minute ago leh!!!

look left..look right...omg...it jumped/fly to another side of my organizer...tried to squash it again but i practically saw it escaping my squashing within a second!!!

OMG!i told myself...this is a GHOSTLY ANT! So i look left and right and found the empty what-u-call-it bottle beside me

And i manage to catch myself a flying ant...wahahaha...

Actually i couldnt believe that i actually saw a flying ant la...so i tried to catch it to get some witness

What would people think of me if i had told them HEY I SAW A FLYING ANT rite???so there must be some proof!

I caught it and showed it to she-who-must-not-be-named...i released the ant onto her desk and tried to demo touching the ant...and it REALLY jumped!

But she was not much fun (i mean she-who-must-not-be-named not the ant) cos she said it must b a FLEA cos everything that jumps must be a flea :(

Ok we don play with her...

So i took the (ant still in the bottle) back to my desk and decided to keep it as a pet ^_^

I made tiny holes on the cover of the bottle to let it breath and kept it on my desk......

for a day!

the next day when i came back...the stupid little thing was still moving round and round the bottle trying to find its way out...

but then!!! i saw another flying ant ...this time on my monitor!!! gleefully i caught it with my fingers and put it inside the bottle together with the first flying ant....WAHAHAHA NOW I HAVE TWO!

After a while i saw ANOTHER ONE! this made me panicked...what if the whole community of mutant flying ants came out to get me for capturing two of their people????

So i let the 2 flying ants out :(

But that is not the end of the flying ants story....this morning i saw another one on my desk again...this time i felt fed up already...fly here n tehre....THINK U VERY CLEVER AH?!?!

*smack* *smack* *smack*

Got it the THIRD time...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...happy

Hey im not being cruel ok? what if the flying ant jumped into my nose?!?! or my ear???

Thats the end of my story but the question remains....WHY IS THERE A FLYING ANT?? AND WHY DO THEY ALL APPEAR IN MY CUBE ONLY??? hmm have you ever seen a flying ant? someone pls give me some explanation! *distressed*

p/s It REALLY jumps!!! ask she-who-must-not-be-named

The "Put-Downers"

Throughout life...there is always a kind of person whom i always have the misfortune to meet...that is the put-downers...

Do you know who or what are put-downers???

Its those people who can NEVER be happy on your achievements and who will always find some fault in ALL your achievements to be shoved right into your face!

Does that sound familiar?

They are the people who will always try to make themself feel good whenever someone is better off than them or someone knows more than them...ahhhh then there will be there to let you know that YOU ARE NOT THAT GOOD U KNO???

Very often, they will be there to blow their own trumpets too...

All they wanna do when they hear about your achievement is not to be happy on behalf of you but they want to let you know no matter what you achieve...they are still better...cos your achievement has this and that....and the list goes on...

I hope you get what i mean by now and perhaps maybe you would have some image of someone whos like that in mind....hohoho...

I think ive read somewhere that such people are actually very inferior of themselves and thats why they like to put other people down just so that they can STILL feel good about themselves.

I think thats just an EXCUSE!

Its a really bad habit and its time you do something about it no matter how inferior you are!

Religion is not an issue too...cos ive seen very devout Christians who 'alleluia' every Sunday (or perhaps more) and yet they have the symptoms of a put-downer!

Is it so bad to at least give people some encouragement??? or appreciation??? I know these people...they are always ready to find some faults in you whenever you achieve something and will be the first to rejoice when you meet the first glitch

I am not pin-pointing any ONE person with this post...now that most people i know are reading my blog...but then again, if you are a PUT DOWNER...i think you would have 'felt the pinch' when you read this post huh? >-)

I don want to restrict myself from really saying out what i have in mind now for the fear that i might offend someone i knwo who is reading my blog...cos the truth is...thats YOU im scolding about in my blog!!

On a happier note...for those who are concerned about me on friday the 13th...guess what??? i did not fall down~~woohooo~

But i was EXTRA careful the whole day 'x'

However......................

I DREAMT i fell down on friday nite =\

I guess it must be all the pressure of NOT FALLING DOWN on friday the 13th...haha!

Have a nice weekend now you all....12 more hours to go till the end of sunday!!!

Just another friday???

Do any of you realise that.........................

Its going to be FRIDAY THE 13TH 2MORO???

KEKEKEKE...

lets be extra careful tomorrow...

and walk CAREFULLY...

as far as i remember...i have the tendency to fall down on friday the 13ths...*TOUCH WOOD*

coincidence or ??? *twillight zone music*

Healthy Dinner

Received an email yesterday claiming that bananas are very good anti-depressant food...

GOOD!!!

No need to waste money on shopping when you r stressed nxt time...kekeke

So hmmm decided to have some BANANA MILKSHAKE for dinner..yummy yum...

Rummaged around for the material...

Blogging just for the sake of blogging...

These few days im feeling very lethargic...no motivation to work, no motivation to blog, no motivation to shop...*aheM*

could it be the mid-2os crisis???wahahaha

so im blogging just for the sake of blogging ... nothing much to blog about...now that the HIGHLIGHT has been blogged

So i'll just share with u the pics i have in my hp k???

Its THAT time of the year again where birthdays are aplenty and money are few...muahahaa

Really bad on my pockets...nxt time ah!!...choose family members with birthdays far apart...

hmmm but its not that i can choose my family??hmm ok forget abt tat...

One day i reached my office to find a crowd gathering...so the keipo inside me went to see what all the hoo-ha was about...

And saw all of them looking at tupperware containers...selling for RM4

Without much thinking i bought myself a tupperware...

Pink some more

Felt so proud of myself for buying such a CHEAP tupperware container...but when i walked up to my desk...i seemed to be unable to think of WHAT to put inside such a small container...hmmm....ciak lat!

first signs of becoming an 'AUNTIE'!

Buying tupperwares like theres no tomorrow...

Went to Minoru Japanese Restaurant at Rubber Road last week...

Had a not so cold, cold soba...

Conclusion : not nice and expensive...muahaha

But i heard that their sashimi is nice...but didnt order that .... will go back to try their sashimi one day


On Good Friday, accompaniedRed Sponge to have her manicure done...

Me being the SOUNDBOX just have to accompany her there to entertain her while both her hands are being held captive....

After that...i caught sight of a new stall at the Jln Song foodcourt...

TAKOYAKI

Supposedly Japanese food...which i did not think look very japanese to me


Its actually savoury pieces of flour balls with bits of carrots...

fried golden and topped with mayonnaise and some shredded God-knows-what...

With sotong inside...

Taste-wise its not bad la...

Actually brought Red Sponge there again to try it but it was not open :(

RM3.50 for 4

Then early early on saturday morning i went to have this done...

GIGGLE..took this in the toilet when the nurse asked me to PAN JIO into the kong...

Trying very hard to 'IMPRESS' the nurse with nice clean urine...i had 500ml of water on my way to the hospital...MUAHAHAAHAH

Ok thats gross...musnt elaborate on that

After that we brought the kid to see this...

Dinosaur exhibits by petrosains...

But then we were greeted with this...

Long queue..........

A word of advice to those who wish to visit the DINO-TREK, the tickets are sold like movie tickets...

They have fixed times for the tour starting from 8.30 am i think...once the ticket is sold out, you will have to wait till the next showing...

Didnt get to go in cos the nxt tour was at 3.30pm and it was only 11am while we were there...

Whats so great about a couple of FAKE dinosaurs???

Had to pull the long-faced kid back into the car much to his dismay :(

On sunday...i had loverly....

Duck egg yolk soft shelled crab!

YUMMY!!!

And ice cream cake...

Its the KID'S 6th birthday (Okok the kids my nephew la)

Hard to imagine that short guy is already 6 yrs old...muahahaa

YUMMY and fattening :(

Had to exercise my a$$ off after that...kekeke

Then 2nite...i discovered another new stall at jln song...

Selling cheesy potato chips and some sandwiches

We both loved this very much...thinly sliced potato fried and topped with cheese...mmmmmmm

So thats all to my photoblog...very bored with everything now *sigh*
