Best Ice Kacang I ever had.

JB(Taman Pelangi to be exact) Ice Kacang is the best that I ever had. After trying for the 1st time few years back, the rest of the ice kacang are totally out from my list.
It's just the traditional ABC. Not that I don't like the new type of Ice Kacang which you can easily find everywhere nowadays with fruits, but I just prefer the traditional one more. I love the ice, which is so fine, which I think you can hardly find it in the normal ice kacang in any other place. The corns, the red beans and the chocolate syrup that they add on top of the ice, which make it taste so perfect!! I just can't forget about it. Everytime I go down JB, it's the 1st food that I usually ordered.



Yummy!!


The 'yau-char-kuai' taste good too. It served with rojak paste.

A Different Annual Company Dinner.

Well, this I suppose to post up last month but I was too lazy to blog nowadays. Too lazy until a friend who used to set my blog as his favourite in his blog, but now taken out my blog address from his. :(

My company had a totally different company dinner this year in January, before the Chinese New Year. We used to had our annual dinner in the Chinese restaurants, or hotels. But this year, as one of the 2 organizers for the dinner, we decided to have something different this year. With the approval from the Bosses, we happily planned to go up Bukit Tinggi for our BBQ dinner on the hill. Since we didn't invite the customers and suppliers like we used to do it, we persuaded our Bosses that we have the budget and pay for all the expenses like meals and accommodation for all staff and even for the family and partners.

We reached there by noon. Had our bowling games, and then check in to the hotel, and had our 3 simple tele-match games. Me and another organizer was shouting in the games till our voice gone. It was so fun, but our throats....so poor us. After the games was free & easy, and waiting for dinner time.

Everyone was so enjoyed it because we didn't need to entertain the customers and suppliers like we had to do in previous years. We just sit back and enjoy our food and drank among ourselves only. The food was better than we expected. As usual, we still had colleagues got drunk. Everyone drank as much as they liked as we didn't need to drive back home this time. It was so nice drinking liquor on a cooling hill. I had wine only that night, almost a bottle I think. Just nice for me to go sleep at night.

Although everyone was really loved this type of annual dinner, but me and another organizer don't think we will plan for this again next year. At least not the 2 of us who plan for everything again. With all the hustles and problems that we need to settle especially in working out the fees to please everyone, we were so tired. Eventhough we pleased everyone, but one time is enough.

Liquors.

The next day, we went to visit the Botanical Garden, The Japanese Tea House, and the Rabbit Park. It was quite disappointing especially the Botanical Garden, with nothing to see down the hill after a long walked. My Bosses and their family and a few colleagues who went down before us wanted to cheat us and told us it was beautiful down there, worth to see, eventhough it's tiring. Luckily I asked some strangers who just came up from the Garden about whether is there anything to see down there. After told by them that there were only trees around, I turned back to head to the Japanese Tea House. :P

There was nothing much in the Japanese Park neither. Then we headed to the Rabbit Park. Surprisingly, Rabbit Park was the best among the 3 places.

The one lied on the floor looked like Pikachu in real.


Male rabbit? Looked disfigured.

Chinese New Year!

Today is the 4th day of the Chinese New Year. Unlike previous years, I didn't really eat any of the cookies and mandarin oranges. I fall sick (the usual fever, flu and cough) since 6th Jan, till now. Luckily fever has gone. But the running nose and cough just don't want to leave me alone. :(

I spent the 1st day of CNY in KL, then drove back alone to Perak on the 2nd day. Luckily there was no jam, but a lot of cars on the North South Highway. Able to meet my sisters, and my brother who need to go out Singapore at night for work. They canceled their friends meeting schedule and stay at home to chit chat with me. Love them so much!!

On the 3rd day, I drove back to KL alone again. It was raining almost all the way, and took me almost 3.5 hours to reach KL(Normally it's a 2.5hours journey). It was a tiring drive due to my running nose which cause me felt so sleepy, and yet I need to concentrate so much due to the heavy rain.

3 more days to go before I start work. Think really need to get good sleep/rest. Hopefully I can recover before I start work.

Not to forget: HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to everyone!!

New Year Resolutions.

I seldom set any New Year resolutions because I don’t really plan for things that I have no confidence to achieve. In recent years, my only new year resolution was 2 years ago: to lose at least 5kg by joining the gym for a year, which I was managed to achieve the goal successfully.

In 2009, as usual, I don’t have any resolutions, but I have plans for a few vacations. Probably to Bangkok and Korea this year, if financially allows (hopefully). By having free accommodations from bf’s company in his business trips, hopefully I can make it to oversea again this year, since the Bali trip in 2008 New Year was my last vacation.

But 1st thing before I go anywhere, I should go renew my passport which will expire in June 2009. There goes my RM300. It's so unfair because our passport is just valid for 4.5 years only instead of 5 years as stated. :(

Happy New Year!

It's been almost half a month past New Year. I didn't have any celebration on eve(as usual as in recent years), and didn't even really realize it was the Eve on that day.

So, for those who I've forgotten to wish them on Eve, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!! May the coming year fill with more joy, wealth and happiness!!

Goodbye Beloved Grandma!

My grandma (mum's side) has just passed away on 7th Dec 2008. Died of heart attack. :(

We were never close, due to we seldom go back to visit her since young due to distance and my dad was away to outstation for work all year long. We only visited her once a year or 2 years. But we knew that she loved us very much.

Whenever we gave her pocket money whenever we met for the past few years, she will try to give us back all money as ang pao. I was just planning how to give her money this coming Chinese New Year without giving her any chance to give me back the money. But who knows.....

I thought I wouldn't cry after got to know about the bad news, but when I think of how much she loves us, and how caring she was always been to us, my tears just ran down my cheeks......

Too Busy To Blog.

Life has been so busy lately. It's been quite a while since I update my blog here.

Busy of work: My boss just got a huge but super fast tracks project lately. Need to handover by the end the year. Everyone involve in the project are so stress, especially my Service Manager and me, who particularly involve in a lot of documentation and coordination.
Besides that project, I still need to do my job for the service team, as I'm the only administrator in the team. I need to take care of other projects' documentation as well. Life is really not easy. Earning money is definitely harder. :(

Furthermore, my sister was admitted to hospital due to typhoid fever caused by contaminated food or water. Poor her. It's been a week already she's in there. Luckily the bf just graduated and can take care of her full time in the hospital now. Hopefully the doctor give her the right antibiotic today to cure her sickness. Wish she can discharge by tomorrow or latest by the day after.
She had no appetite to eat anything. Whatever she ate, she vomited all food out after an hour after eating. So I woke up early on Saturday morning and went to market to buy the stuff to cook abc soup for her, with a lot of potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes. At least she can drink the soup, and absorb more natural vitamins from the food. She was able to finish 2 bowls at least. At least she didn't vomit until now. That's a good thing at least she got food intake.

Went for blood donation on Sunday in Summit shopping mall in USJ. That is the 3rd time I donated blood, with 13.9 hemoglobin, which is very good for a lady. I always have very high hemoglobin. I still remember the doctor asked me to go donate blood after my body checkup/blood test result came out 3 years back. What a result!

Phew!! I feel so sleepy now. Think will sleep early today. Probably around 11.30pm. I know it's still quite late for a lot of people. But for people who used to sleep at 1am, 11.30pm is really early.

Hope it won't take me another 2 months to update my blog again.
