My dad received an offer to be transfered to Dubai to take over the project management/ supervision for the very 1st job of his company over there for half a year. It's a interchange project in Dubai.
Eventhough we are didn't see my dad often since we were very small, but all the while he was in Malaysia for work. We knew that he's not really that far from us eventhough we don't meet up. But this time, he need to go so far away. I was the 1st one in the family who knew about this. At that time, I first feel happy for him because it's an opportunity for him to go oversea, to work there and to earn more. But then, just half an hour later after the talk, I felt so useless because I can't afford to ask my dad not to take up the job at such a hot country, although the pay is good. I'm not that worry if it's 10 years ago because he was fit and still young. But now he has diabetes, and he's getting old. :(
His flight is confirmed on 4th March midnight. His stupid bosses still need him to travel up and down to hand down the left over work to other people for 2 projects. He is like so indispensable in the company. Really don't know it's a good or bad thing. Sigh.........

Fortune Cookies
CT brought one big box of fortune cookies from the hamper she got from her house to office because she doesn't want her daughters to eat too much cookies. No one in my office seems to know that there is a message inside the cookies until I told them. So everyone in the office took one and read their own message. I told CT that the cookies that she brought to the office made everyone so happy because everyone got a good message (in fact impossible the message will be a bad one . :p)
The message I got from the fortune cookies is : You and your love one will be happy in life together.
The next day, no one else want to eat the cookies anymore, and there are still around 10pcs of them. I decided to take another one.
The 2nd message I got this time is : You will be successful in your work.
My colleague asked me immediately what message I got since the 1st one I got was the most 'direct to the point' one among all. So I read my message to her and told her that I got love and career at the same time. :P
That's what i really hope for (besides health of all the people I love and myself of course).
Wish the messages I got will really come true. :)

Chinese New Year Gathering.
I had a Chinese New Year Gathering with my ex-apartment mate during college time on the 10th day of Chinese New Year. Eventhough we have stayed together for about half a year to one year under Taylor's College accommodation in My Place Apartment, we became very good friends. We gathered as we make it 'special' at least once a year on our Apartment Day. oops!! Where was I? Ok Ok. I'm suppose to talk about the Chinese New Year gathering.
This is our 13th Chinese New Year since we all 1st met. Wow!! 13th year! Now only I notice that!! We are going to celebrate our 12th year anniversary this year!!
There were 4 of us gather together with each other's partner this year. We had dinner at Oversea Restaurant at Jaya 1 in PJ, ordered a Chinese New Year set cost RM768++. So end up we pay Rm225 per couple. It's an expensive dinner, with the 'so-so' only food. But all of us enjoyed the dinner.
Li suddenly reminded us on what we said about how horrible if we still remain the single by the age of 35 or 40 a few years ago. At least now all of us have our partner, eventhough there is only one out of 6 of us among the closest apartment mates just got married last year. Hmm..but when I think back, all 4 of us didn't really being 'single' for long. :P
After the dinner, the boys had a while of gambling session in the restaurant since the waiter offered us a new set of cards, and we girls like became the 'PR' for them. We happened to be the last table we left the restaurant. :P
On my way back home, I sms the girls and told them I had a very great night and wish all of us all the best in the coming years. Ay replied and said maybe in a couple of years later we might have kids-tow to the dinner, and she happened to be the one who was 'afraid' of kids. Trust me. She was really "afraid" of all kids. Afraid to hug them, to carry them, or to get close to them. But in recent years, I think she has really changed a lot. At least she can carry a baby now. Keep it up Ay!! We are waiting for your wedding by end of this year. :)

RM54k Marriage Proposal.
I believe most of the people who picked up The Star or The Sun newspaper would know about an Account Exec's marriage proposal to his girlfriend using a billboard on LDP highway. For those who haven't read it, you can get the full story here .
I suppose many guys would feel angry because they might think that the guy spoilt the market and they need to crack their head to top that with their girls. :P
A RM54K proposal! Wow! RM40k on the billboard and only RM14k on the ring? I don't know how the girl thinks, or how other people think, but for myself personally, I rather my man spend the RM40k on something more worthy, like.....a house's down payment? :P
If not because of the guy's dad owns the billboard business, do you think an advertising account exec can afford the RM40k on the billboard only? Eventhough he can afford, I doubt he will spend that amount of money on that.
After such 'advertisement', I suppose the press would like to cover more on their wedding planning, their wedding, and even their marriage. It reminds me of a lot of Hollywood couples' or Hong Kong couples' marriage breakdown because of paparazzi and 'publicity'. Of course, I don't wish that to happen on this lovely young couple.
Perhaps I'm too 'realistic', or should I call it 'practical'? I prefer my proposal should be simple, sweet, and have a personal touch. I don't need to share it with the whole wide world.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not desperate for any proposal now. I'm kind of enjoying my 'single' life now actually. Marriage means I need to have kid, which will be really a 'string attachment' to me. A lot of people have been asking me when I will get married. The same answer I gave to everyone: I have no proposal from anyone yet. Perhaps I will just marry to the one who propose to me next. :P

Chinese New Year.
This is my 2nd year not celebrating Chinese New Year with my own family. Last year, I stayed in KL with bf. This year, I followed him to go back to his house for the 1st time since my new house in hometown is not ready yet, and my parents are staying with me in KL temporary.
Basically we did nothing much, just eat, sleep, watch tv. and went to his cousin's house on the 3rd day. I gained 1.5kg from that few days holiday. I really ate too much of oily stuff, until I'm having upset stomach now. :(
Ohh! About the traffic, It was smooth when we went back Johor, Maybe because it was in the midnight. But when we came back to KL, it was jam in Melaka, and then Pedas-Linggi till almost Nilai. I don't know what caused the jam, and the traffic cleared just like that suddenly near the Nilai Exit. We met a minor accident near Senawang exit. A motorcycle hit our front car tyre and scratched the front bumper a bit when we tried to cut out to the middle lane from left lane. The rider actually sort of flew out in the middle of the road, but luckily the car at the back was very slow, and touch wood, he was OK. He agreed to settle the case with RM150. I wrote a simple note written he agreed to settle and without severe injure in the accident. I even got a 3rd party Malay guy to sign as a witness. After that, only we found out that our car tyre and steering actually run out of the place a bit. Now, it's in the Perodua service center for checking. It might cause a few thousands to repair if really serious.
What a New Year...............

1st hair perming.
I went to perm my hair on Saturday. The whole process of straighten at the front part, perm the back/bottom part of the hair, red color highlight and treatment took about 5 hours. I sat until my butt numbed.
This is my first time to perm my hair curl in my life. I was having straight hair all the while. Thought of changing my image, to become more 'sexy'. Err....I mean the sexy type of curl. I told my hair stylist I just want to perm the lower part of the hair. She did, but made me looked like those Japanese girl in the magazine who is having curly hair. The result is just not the type I wanted. Sob sob.....Hopefully my colleagues and other friends don't give me bad comments about my new hair style. I am actually a bit regret now. :(
My current hair style look like this. :(
Next, I might just cut my hair short till ear-length. Hmm...I'm getting more 'adventurous' when I'm older. :P
