Mission ImGOLFible

One day in the late evening, while everyone is packing and ready to got back home from working throughout the day! Ready to go home and eat the "masakan cap jari ibu" and have a good rest. Then suddenly... Ringgg~ Ringgg!!!

Here comes the Justice Call from George! He's giving an emergency operation which we had to go all the way down to Seria to look for TARGET! He's briefing that we have to gather together by 6:30pm which the operation will immediately launch once everyone is arrive. And Captain George named the operation as "Mission ImGOLFible"

Here's the soldiers that joined the operation "ImGOLFible".

Introducing from left to right. Private Shirley with her guardian angel, Captain George. Then accompany with Sergeant Chen Chen and Alan.

Of course ME, [CYCLOPS YONG] the one holding the camera & give visual to HAPPY-STOP!

Made our first stop at 7:30pm in Soon Lee Megamart, Sg. Liang to freshen up ourself because there'll be rough & impossible mission ahead us in Seria! Freshen up as in finding toilet to "wee wee". Long journey yoo! Biasalah. Hehehe.

Here's the target location where the mission imGOLFible launchs. "YICK FATT" in Seria shopping complex.

Captain George: "Team, Are we all READY?"

YEAH!!! LOCK & LOADED!!! LET'S ROCK & ROLL!!!

And what's the so called "target" that they have to search & retrieve it... And what does "YICK FATT" hiding inside?

Could it be a bomb that we need to retrieve & detonate it in order to save the day from terrorist?

Yeah!!! Indeed bomb... SEX BOMB! hahaha.

Then Cyclops Yong got confused by the Sex Bomb's poisonous gas & turned into...

The "Chi-Koh Peh"!!! Wooo.... Weee~ Yeeehaawww... It's everywhere. Hahaha!

And Sergeant Chen Chen got ...

Sergeant Chen Chen: " =.=!! , hey yong!!! wake up already!!! Wake up!!!"

The SexBomb is actually next door to "YICK FATT" & yick fatt supplies nothing other than GOLF!!!

Golf Ball

Golf Accessories

Golf Sets

Anything that consists/ involves GOLF, you name it and Yick Fatt got it here... Mostly everything except ...

Buggy.

Operation "Search & Rob" begins... Everyone searching for the right set that suits Captain George. But in the end, nothing seem to catch George's eye. "Mission ImGOLFible" was a fail attempt that Captain George switched the operation into Operation ImGOLFible Over Hill & Sea! An operation that need to travel across the hills & sea, which is to our neighboring country.

Miri, Sarawak! That's weeks after the first mission. For these time, there were proper strategic planning for the mission. Before we actually go for it, me & captain George did went to the place for market survey.

These time, it's not the shop where BRAs are sell just the next door of it. The place is located in Bintang Plaza Megamall, a shop named Parkson.

Inside Parkson, there is one golf section which is under MST golf. Also sells mostly everything about Golf. Mostly like...

Golf Caps

Golf accessories & sets...

Mostly on everything except on BUGGY too. Hahaha! =D

For these time, it's one successful mission that Captain George got what he needs.

George: "Hey boss, got any further less or not? or any free gift for me?"

Boss: "Aiyah... sorry that couldn't give you any further less already, gave a special price for you already! But I can give you free gift, which is the golf pouch."

George: "Hmmph... Not enough leii, can I have more of the free merchandise?"

Hmmph... The boss had a hardtime thinking about it. Finally came out with a conclusion...

Boss: "Okay lahh.. give you what we never give before & what's more valuable than the other merchandise!"

Here's a FREE CADDIE for you... helping carry your Golf Set around here & there.. Another word, "KULI" hahaha!

That's the story of George got his new golf set! Now train yourself up & grab every opportunities [Kang Tao] at there. Hehehe!

Happy playing Golf there... To George & Shirley, friends of mine that enjoy golf a lot!

Precaution Is Better Than Curing

H1N1 had attacked Brunei recently which School holiday's extended to one more week. Weee~ Satu minggu holiday lagi, dapat nii main-main, lepak-lepak, jalan-jalan, paktoh-paktoh. Hehehe. But time flies, school is re-opening tomorrow! Goodbye holiday, Hello Sir & Miss!!! =D

The h1n1's case in Brunei had increase to 142 numbers that I myself believe that it going to rise more! To the students that are studying together under one classroom, one school. Are you ready or prepare for the out break of h1n1? To everyone in Brunei? Are you scare of H1N1?

Please be prepared before it attack us. And they said "precaution is way far more better than healing or stopping it!" It's because if we done a great job in preventing the virus attacking us, there wouldn't victim suffering from it and the chances of infecting other people will be less too. If there isn't any precautions taken, there will be lots of people that will be infected. And when these happen, there will be a lot of things need to be done.

For now, there are only a few things that we need to get it done!

We can take care of hygience that living in the clean environment keeps us away from the VIRUS. And we can wear mask to reduce the possibility of inhaling those VIRUS into us!!!

But then they are people who is stubborn or in chinese [Beh KiaSee] = "tak takut mati"

APA??? WHAT??? Wear mask???

"Mana ROCK tuu!!! Inda COOL tuu ihh!!!" : The tough guy!!!

"I rather wear my "MUSSEL-BAN" when I go out, It's more COOL!" : The cinta-lawa guy! [ai sui people]

And some will even say [What??? We guys don't wear mask!!! Only P**SY does!!!] Hahaha. I personally like these one... One of the favorite quote said in the movie...

Don't be that stubborn till we all see these!!!

Heihachi from TEKKEN

Jin from TEKKEN

The strongest, toughest & meanest men in TEKKEN also wear masks. Why wouldn't you? HAHAHA!

No one is perfect. No matter how tough you are, there will still be a weakpoint too! Put those COOLness & ROCKness aside. Try to be good for one time! With a good health, there are still chances. Without it, we can't do anything & can't be cool even we have the coolest fashion of all. It's because we'll lying down waiting for cure!!!

TAKE CARE EVERYONE!!!

For You, BB & How Cool Photoshop Is!

One of the moment that Happy-Stop missed update is the outing that I had with my cousins.

Top [Left to Right] Wen Biau, Shih Shih, NaNa

Bottom [Left to Right ] Kojack, Kok Wei, ME!!! :)

Went to Tamu Selera & had ...

Mango Fish

SEAFOODS!!! Woo.. siok~ The first time I ate lots of clam at a time & started to like it.

The day before, also went out with cousins for dinner too.

Went to KTM restaurant.

Had mango fish the night before the Tamu Selera's outing too.

TomYam Soup

Pandan Chicken

All the photos above was taken by my cousin.

Shih Shih a.k.a BB! Some one that enjoys & appreciates every moments that came into her. Photo taking is one of her hobbies. Camera is always by her side which she's always ready to capture all the moments that she experiences and blogs about it. Bet that there's a lot of photos inside your folders which bring you smiles by the time you views it.

And she takes great photos! Words just can't describe how good is it because the pictures/ photos that she took does really can speaks! :) hahaha. Here's below are some of it that I curi-curi from her blog.

The K.K trip which she got herself a new DSLR camera... :)

The Loi Krathong festival that also can be celebrates in Brunei.

The time when Brunei suffered from heavy downpours that flood happened everywhere. That included the Kampong of our parents in Tutong district.

The time when she brought her friends from Kuala Lumpur visiting the Empire Hotel.

Wishing everyone a healthy & prosperous year! Chinese New Year 2009!

Other than taking nice photos, there is one thing which I adore about her is her great artwork designs. One skill that I want to learn from her. Teehehehe. She works in the designing industry that adobe photoshop is one of the tools she used to create those beautiful design.

During the outing in KTM, she did showed me something that I barely think before. When there aren't anyone out there helping us to take a group photo. What will we usually do?

My answer: [find a place where I can place my camera & use the timer mode to take the picture] Hmmph... It's one of a way... What happen when we're in the open area? What should we do?

And here, Shih Shih taught me that we can do it this way!!!

Now you see her!!!

Now you don't!!! What's with the empty space in the between of Wen Biau & Nana! Look where Nana's pointing & seems like I'm trying to make Peace sign on somebody head. But there aren't one in front me!!!

POOOFF!!!

Now you see her again!!! WooOO~ Really steady huhh!!!

These shows that Photoshop is really COOL!!! AND dangerous too. Careful that people may uses it to play a prank on us. :)

You don't like me when I'm broke!!! C'mon~ Give me some CASH or I'll cut you into half!!! Arrggghhh~ =P

And now there is one unforgettable & important moment that going to walk into her life. One moment that every one dreams of!

Let's congrats her in advance...

She & Wen Biau are going to tie the knot soon!!!

For all the years, you both gone through the high & low. And today, you both had made commitment to each other. The path ahead maybe sloppy but nothing seems to be problem when both parties willing to walk over it. [How can we make a clap sound with one hand clapping] Even walking over sloppy destinations, we all know that you both going to walk it with SMILE along and going to end your stories with ever happily after!

Here's to the good news! Congratulations!!!

It's one good news for them that they made a further step in their relationship. For their families, each will grows bigger as the both side's families combine together. And for us that is haven't marry...

One more packet of Ang Pao is on the way!!! Katttchhiiingggg... $_$!!! Hahaha!!! Money-Faced Yong.

Communications & TeamBuilding - Day 2 & 3

A day after the long hours of training from morning till night time. What a long & rough day every one had! Can everyone make it on time for the 2nd day training?

Surprisingly no one was late for it! Instead of being late like the usual working days. These time, we arrived earlier than the trainer. Oh well, for the breakfast lahh! Hahaha.

Despite from the physical & mentally tiring, everyone showed up with great energy that is ready for all the challenges up ahead.

It's because everyone had lots and lots of FUN on the first day. No writing notes down, no reading lot of words, not many lectures from the trainer. All we did is just playing around!

We have peoples that concentrate more so that they can make a better jobs than what they did on the first day! [The determination to climb up higher and higher]

Then they are few that was charging the battery during the briefing. Hehehe! Hey "Dang", Gotcha!!! just kidding yeah. "Pukul 2 pagi" huhh.. hehehe! you know, I know! ssshhh~

Let's go out & play before everyone falls asleep. We had few activities play outside under the hot sun. Under a hot sun, people suffering thirst. Some people faints, some people complaints, some stays away from it. How much of us that willing to give out and do our part even under the hot sun?

As long as each of us is willing to give out & doing our part, even walking 8people tied up feet together under the hot sun wouldn't be a problem! The problem is that either we want or don't!

We have games of finding toothpicks on the ground with 8people tied up together.

Moving buckets & things with hands are easy, all we do just pick it up and move it.

When conditions don't allow us to use hand but only rope. We can't tie it, we can't go near it! All we can is just lift it from a distant area.

What can we do? And what does it takes?

It takes the whole team to carry one! :)

It's a game that involves patience and planning that we need to figure out how to carry those buckets from one area to one area without moving towards the bucket or carry it with hands. Points are not given based on the team that can carry the it all in the shortest time but also to the number of times we carry it up front and back in the time given.

[What can we work differently?] in order to make it better?

Bridge crossing was one of the game that we're given 6tyres, two planks of woods! Think of a way that 8people can cross it without the plank of woods touching the ground. The tyres must place more distant than the length of the woods.

With strong foundation built...

Nothing seems to come in the way to obstruct us! How big the wind is, we can't be blown away easily.

Teamwork is one of the key tools but without good communications, things can't be done smoothly too. Just like a car, those engine parts, body, tyres are assembled together as a car just like a team. But without the "car key", how can we open the locks or start the engines? :)

How can we lead a Blind peoples when we don't talk and show them the way?

Tins are scatters all around and half of the team are blindfolded...

How are we going to lead them to the tins and ask them arrange accordingly to its type/ colors if we don't have good communication...

How can we sms/ call when there is communication breakdown?

How can we travel/ move when there is communication breakdown?

How can we surf/ chat when there is no internet connection?

That's a lot to be miss and lost when there is communication, one of the important value we must not underestimate it. It can either bring "bitter" or "sweet" =D

So much for hard works at the time, as for the night time. It's entertainment night for every one! Each of the team have to think of one performance to deliver a message regarding the core value of the company.

[responsibility, teamwork, achievement & commitment] - The core values of Fabrica.

There are group that brought an imaginary van into the hall. Well, a Flintstones' van! haha

And curtains & carpets also used for the drama! Yeah, Fabrica... The mood of living inside the house. Carpets, Curtains, Wallpapers, Blinds, Paneling, Flooring, you name it and they have it.

The man of the night! He's the salesperson, the wife & the husband, the sewer, the fixers & the office's staff. The man that played 9roles at a time. The rest of the team just act with emotions & body languages and he's the one that does all the talking. And he can sing... Not English song, not Tagalog song but CHINESE song. [Penny戴佩妮-我要的爱] Salute to you, Marvin! :)

And for my team, we got no people that can plays 9roles at a time. Hahaha.

We got no one that can play a role of a fussy customer.

But we have SIZE!!! Size of BIG & small that we can build strong foundation. A strong foundation that ...

Able to hold people climbing on top it it! [Big people comes with Big power, Big power comes with Big responsibilities!] =.=!! Just kidding. Size is not the matter, the strong will is what that matters.

That's all for day 2 and everyone ended it with ...

SMILES & LAUGHTER!!!

Day3 has come & the training is nearly come to an end. Lots of games had played among everyone, we tied together to complete the tasks, we hold hands to support each other, we encourage everyone, trainers also do sharing among us. Let's see hows the progress and how far have we achieve...

Eiseh~ Not bad huhh!!! hahaha!

We only have 2activities played on day3.

First, we had game of testing how good our memory is.

Then we had the "EGG CATCHER" game. And the catcher has to be built from scratch. The materials given was nothing other than papers, tissues, paperclip, flyer, rubberband. Pointse given are based on the number of eggs that survive the drop & the less resources used to build the catcher.

Not much games played on day3 because we spent rest of the day busying ...

Taking group pictures! Hehehe.

Other than taking pictures, sharing also done on the last day which every team shares the feelings about the 3days training and what should we do to improve the productivity & efficiency while working and how we apply what had we learn into our working & personal life.

Then it's time to announce the winner of the whole training.

Team SuperPanda is the winner come along with Team Doraemon as the 1st runner up & Team TeddyBear is the 2nd runner up. As for the Team Belacan, we came last! ohh my~

We maybe last but we don't give up easily which suit the slogan of the team!

[Bau Tapi Nyaman Kali Ah] Hahahaha.

For myself, there aren't any win or lose for each team. There aren't anyone who is better or who is worse.

We're all the same & everyone is the winner. We came & train as a team for the course. We'd learnt & gained that can push us up into a higher level. While working, we also work together as colleague too. When one falls, we all hold among each other & pull them up!

Let's hope & wish that all these can remain when we walked out from the door of training hall. No "Hot-Hot Chicken Shit" which is "Hangat-Hangat Tahi Ayam" in malay language. Hehehe. :p

Fabrica!!! You can do it~ You show Brunei the art of interior.

And lastly, not to forget the trainers & people that worked things out together to make these training go smoothly.

Sir Kevin who is the NLP peak performances trainer.

Perry Khoo who is the TeamBuilding specialist.

And also to Siew Yun & Yvonne.

Thank you all!!!

Communications & TeamBuilding - Day 1

In the past, war may start from a man. All from man's hunger toward power, fame & wealth. Some even started it because of woman too! So much from the MAN! Yeah... What to say~

It may took 1man to start all these... BUT

It took lots of them to end it. Hahaha! Men are "Kepo" too, from 1 man that involves whole lots of them in the end. =P

A general can't win the whole battle with a pair of hand of his own. It'll need many pairs of hands to help him which he need archer for long ranged battle, swordsmen and knights for close to close combat, navy for the water battle and a lots that can defend their fortress. Thanks to them for building what we have now. :)

Teamwork is what needed most in a war. A simple philosophy applies here. [ We can break one stick of chopstick easily, imagine if there are 10 of it. Can we still break it easily with only bare hand? ]

Even the mighty King Leonidas from the Greece needs his mighty 299 warriors to stand against the numerous 300,000 warriors of King Xerxes from the Persia. And King Leonidas made history which he showed King Xerxes that number is not a problem.

King Leonidas: "Sparta, Please don't leave me. I can't make it without you all! I promise that I'll up your gaji by 30%!!!" Hahahaha.

When he can't pay that much of amount to hire 299 warriors to fight for him, it's not a big problem too. All he has to do is just hire this man, a man that can win the battle alone!

RAMBO!!!

The culture of teamwork had passed down generation to generation. Teamwork is one of the important tools in achieving goal today in an organization, team, group and etc. Micheal Jordan can't win the NBA season all by himself that he needs people to rebound ball for him, dribbling for him, screen for him, etc and even cheer for him. =D

It's always easy to say and hard to do. How can we have all the people in an organization to be obedient, hands hold hands and work together as a team!

Not everyone can be buy with coffee bean!

All these can be done when everyone know the meaning of teamwork and understand how much can we achieve when there is teamwork. That's of course depends on the individuals too! Can we stop RAMBO? hahaha!

13th June 09, a company in Brunei, "FABRICA" brought all the staff one step ahead that she had them trained with communications & team building course. So much investment into her staff, but the company believes that whenever there are contributions. It's always return too! With strong foundation built in a house or building, the house or building can last long. Without it, it'll just collapses anytime. Just like training the staffs, with great foundation built into them. The performances will be more productivity and efficiency too that in the end brings benefits to the company... =D

And I happen to work in the company and got the opportunity to learn & experienced the training course. Spot where I am! =D

It's 3days & 2nights course that all the staffs had attended, not much reading & writing like what we all had when we're small. [When the teacher was pointing the blackboard with the famous fried keow tiaw] Hehehe. The courses were all about playing games and the games are all design to deliver us the messages, importances of teamwork & communications. While playing & having fun, we remember well. Just like watching movie & reading the biology book, which one does we can remember more about it?

And what the trainers need us to do is ...

Just to have all the FUN.

And give our 100% in everything we is asked to do.

First of all, we had to form a team members of 10-11 through some ice breaking game.

Everyone was called in front & the trainers showed each of us pictures of animals. Then we gathered together in the centre and each of us needs to find the team members who saw the same pictures of animal that the trainers showed.

We can't talk out what animal that we saw, can't make noises. All we did is act like those animals to find out the rest of the team members. :)

And that's the members of each team for rest of the day till the course end.

It's all starts from a big & blank white fabric.

What we have to do is to give it a name, create its slogan, core values and also design it to represents each of the team.

Just like life, it's just like a plain a4 paper. It depends on us to enlighten it! When we just write it with black color pen, it'll just appear as one dull looking paper.

All we need to do is to add in colours into it to brighten it up!!!

Just like the sport houses we had when we'd our sport day during our childhood that we may have the "blue", "red", "green" & "yellow" house. We also had four teams for the course but we didn't ended up blue, red, green & yellow.

We came up with ...

Team Doraemon

Team Super Panda

Team Teddy Bear

Everyone came up with an animal to represent them. As for me, did I choose an animal to represent my team too? If I did, what will I choose? a PIGGY? hehe.

There aren't other like FOODS!!!

Team BELACAN!!! "BAU TAPI NYAMAN KALI AH"

When every team is ready with their DIY Flag, it's game time! Here below is some highlights of the games we had on the first day.

Balloon Run!

Two People One Team's racing. Guess who will win? The taller one or the shorter one? The tall one got longer legs that can stretch more in distant! The shorter one walks 3steps equal to the taller one walks one step! [Uiii, Kasar tuu!]

Well, let's see it again after these...

Master Q: "I walk one step equal to you walk two step. If we have some race, don't know how far will you left behind in distance?"

Mister Potato: "Don't look down on me, let's compete!!!"

Master Q: "Okay, let's see who run faster! I'll wait you in one kilometre ahead!"

Swooshh!!!

HAHAHA!

Size is not everything!!! =D

Everyone is having FUN. Laughter can be heard everywhere in the hall! Cheering is what everyone did for their team. Hmmph.. too much to let it out from working huhh!!! HAHAHA... Ssshhh...

The Newspaper Race

Tin-Can Race...

Millipede I forgot what already! =P

That's all for the daytime on the first day! Everyone was asked to check in into hotel to have some rest & be ready for the night's activity...

The day turned out to be MAGICAL for everyone!!!

The activities were all involving group's work but not individual's work! Everyone have to work together in other to complete it. As for the night activity, it's only 2hours sessions. We were asked to built a house just from newspapers and we're only given masking tape as a tool!

At first, everyone thinks it's a hard task. Just newspapers & one roll of masking tape only.

At first, each is thinking to themselves. Each mean one so it's one brain at the first time. When everyone start to work together as a team.

We have 10brains thinking & 20hands working.

Impossible is Nothing - Adidas!

Let's see how creative can 10 brains be... :)

Team Teddy Bear named their house, "long house" of the Iban tribe. They got first in these activity...

Followed by Super Panda in second that built themselves a modern housing!

Then Doraemon got third who built Rumah Melaka.

As for Belacan, we came last! we really came out something that match our team name!!! Looked BELACAN huhh... hehehe!

BUT I named it Rumah Mawi! Hahaha. Had Mawi on it, What! :p

The points were based on the creativity of the house, the participation of each people and also the number of people that can enter the house.

Why Belacan still finished fourth in the activity? It even got MAWI on their house, what others don't have!!! WHY?

It's because it collapsed before the judges can give the point!!! HAHAHAHA.

We're going to be homeless tonight! Tehehehe...

Happy-Stop Turned One!!!

"Happy-Stop", a blog that had made greetings/ wishes to everyone. Greetings/ wishes from encouragement to farewell, from farewell to events, from events to birthday. Now it's time to make a greeting for the blog itself! =D

Happy-Stop is turning ONE year old today on the 8th June 2009! From ground zero entry to 73entries posted online including these one. At first, I'm still there doubting whether I can last these long, what can I bring to others and etc. "As long as there is efforts contributed, there is always outcome" that after a year, I'm here still blogging and it'd turned ONE years old! Time really flies~

Thanks to Food-Hungry.com that played a role in bringing me into blogging. Hahaha! And the virus is spreading. From food-hungry to happy-stop then to josh's cafe. =D

Andy [He drives her around for food hunting]

Jestina [She does the blogging] "Here we are to follow their path and reveal their secret wonderland" :) Andy & Jestina, the owner of food-hungry.com

What's like after blogging for a year? What's the feeling?

Ermm... At first, it's HOT that I wrote llloooonnnnngggggg entry that filled with tons of words! Someone complained that ...

it's very TIRING to read my blog because it would take such a long times & efforts to read finish one entry. Hehe!

Before we're moving any further. Let's meet the one that first said that it's very TIRING to read my blog. =D

HO WEE! Hahaha!

Ho Wee: "Geng, chin chuan ahh!!!" [hockien]

I myself do find it tiring in writing such a long post. We're gotta be "Cepat, Tepat & Selamat" Hahaha. In order to be cepat, tepat dan selamat, we need to be creative that a lot of thinking need to be done.

There are times that we need to squeeze out the brain juice to post one nice entry. Aaahhh~ Going crazy! hehe/ :p

Overall...

Blogging is FUN!!! Yiippppeeee~ Hahahaha! :)

Thanks for these little machine here that you guys got it for me...

It's celebrating its ONE year old too. Hahaha! With that, I can capture all the moments/ experiences, peoples that come along into my life and share it all via internet. That's why I quoted the header as "Living Moments By Happy-Stop". [It's the stop where smiles gather] :)

There is always gain & lose in life. Either we gain these then we lose that! Within these 1year since the day I started blogging. There is lost & gain in me!

I'd flunk my academic grades because I didn't put much efforts in trying. Ended up working but gained experiences that we all need when it comes to society. And finally gave myself a chance again that I applied to go study again. I'd lost you, but I gained supports & encouragements from what we called it "friendship". I'm a big spender when it comes to foods & drinks, but in return what I gained is all these happy moments I spent it with you all. The moments that money & time can't buy because there aren't any turning back time. Hehe. And of course...

I'd gained FATS too! Hehehe. Ohh God!!! Save me Buddha!!! hahaha~

Let's us have a flashback on what we all had in happy-stop. Let's see how much passengers & smiles had happy-stop accumulates here! Little by little does the work... A day a smile, add it all up in a year time. It'll be 365 smileS! =)

Some had known each other for more than 10years, some are more than 5years and etc. To make friends is easy but to maintain a strong & healthy relation between friends is hard because misunderstanding is always there to make disturb. To know someone for such a long time, it's really something and "appreciate" is what we need to do to hold these bond.

Other than capturing the moments with family members, relatives & friends. I myself had approached the strangers a few times and requested to take pictures with them. I'm lucky that no one had ever turned me down. Hehehe. Biasalah... Apa nak di kata?!?! =P

Thanks to one of my friend's school project. I get the chance to stand out of myself and approached the public to take pictures with them. It's one nice experiences that I get to understand bits about them, get to know their cultures and all those. No matter how good have we learnt about the theory, when there is no any practical action taken. We can't hardly know the things that we are trying to learn/ understand.

That's Jes on the left & forgot your name on the right. Hehehe. That's the first attempt that I tried and a successful one. Until now, whenever I go to the mall and have some window shopping. I still can see you~ Memang ada jodoh lah. Hahaha.

Had my 1st experience dine in at Fratini, Miri that I would not want to miss the chance to take picture with the captain/ manager in charge of the branch.

Thank You~

Sometime, letting it go isn't a bad thing at all. It may be the beginning of the GOOD things!

Everyday we gain and lose! When it comes to gain, we're always happy about it. There is one gain that NOT everyone is happy about it, which is ...

When one is growing FATTER!!! Hehehe.

The same thing when it come to Lose. When we lose, we get sad, disappoint, depress and etc. A lot just can't get it over that we are struggling it each day! Life is like meaningless or end of the world. Seems like the god is playing with us or punishing us. Think in a way around, the time that we lost is the time that we start to learn. By the time we learn, we're gaining! =D

Start to learn and get over it! Tomorrow still a mystery. There are still a lot of nice things waiting for us to accomplish. =D

The sun still rises up high at the sky everyday no matter the heavy cloud is covering it or there is heavy rain too!

Here's one philosophy that I just learned few days back. [人也老就也长气]

[When the god takes something away from us, it's not punishing us or what! He is just emptying our hands that we can receive things which are even more better!!!] WOOO~ hahaha!

But to me, when god takes you all away from me. It's not emptying my hands that I can receive things which are more better because there aren't any that are BETTER than you all!!! Owww~ hahaha!

It's because...

On my very own day. You cooked me "Mee Suah", you gave me a red packet, you all greeted me through SMS, Facebook, MSN & phone call, you all accompanied me during the eve of my own day & you all planned everything for giving me a surprise on the day. It's really very nice of you all remembering the date and also the efforts done... What can I ask for more when I had you all around me~ Eiseh.. hahaha!

5hours till 13th May 2009!

Had my dinner at Tamu Selera with Josh, Andy, Jes & Sieng Yen. And for these time, I'd betrayed you Gerai Number 3!!! I went to other stall instead of you! Hahahaha~

First, we went to pangkalan gadong there to have some kueh! Then want to try one place that serves nice Seria Kueh Tiaw. The Seria Fried Kueh Tiaw that comes with PORK! haha... too bad it's closed early when we reached there! Maybe the Kueh Tiaw had sold out that's why the boss closed the stall early???
