侧田2010大马演唱会

终于圆满结束了，我久等的侧田2010大马演唱会。实力派歌手的演唱会永远都不会闷而且非常成功。

在演唱上，侧田除了带给大家新歌之外，也不忘了他许多的经典名曲 - 情歌，命硬，决战二世祖，Erica及等等。最感人的是，侧田在演唱会上哭了。演唱会到了尾声时，广众们都已经被带到了高潮，让大家对这个夜晚念念不忘。


我期待下次与你在大马的演唱会上再见面。

Suria Meriang Staff Sale

Date/Day: 14 August 2010 (Saturday)
Time : 8AM - 3PM
Venue : Renaissance Hotel, KL
Someone suggested to reach earlier because of the long que. I was thinking: "7.30am should be ok lah" . I was there alone and I couldn't believe that the que was extremely long - from ballroom at level 1; down to the staircase; to the lobby; and to the parking entrance behind.

I started queuing since 7.30am and only be able to get in by about 8.30am. It was very crowded and everyone seems to be crazy over every items. I suppose the most popular brand were Bobbie Brown as their makeups are sold out by the time I managed to get in. Some (including me) need to be on standby at the counter to wait for "leftovers". Visitors who were standing behind me were pushing around, hoping to get the makeups that they are eyeing at. Honestly, it was very dangerous because I can fall on the table and it will collapse anytime easily.

Due to the huge crowd, they restricted every visitor to leave the ballroom within an hour. Honestly speaking, who cares? I was one of them who hang around for more than an hour, I think. However, I was not disappointed because I managed to get quite a lot of my desired makeups. But at the same time, I also gonna let go a lot of items because I'm lack of cash.

Successful buying list:

MAC
1. Prep + Primer
2. Eye Shadow Suite (Rose Suite)
3. Eye Shadow (Veluxe Pearl)

Bobbie Brown
1. Compact Foundation (Cool Beige)
2. Long-Wear Cream Shadow (Stone)
3. Long-Wear Gel Liner (Mahogany Ink)
4. Shimmer Brick Compact (Copper Diamond)
5. Eye Shadow

Clinique
1. Powder Foundation (Rose Beige)
2. Powder Blush (Giddy Pink)



Total spending: RM525.00

国际美容展2010

之前小女我呢就忙碌于刚刚呈上辞呈的不是很新公司的工作关系，就MIA了一阵子。刚刚呈上辞呈的不是很新公司是从事展览的，小女的岗位正是公关行政人员。

开工的第一天，小女就得在吉隆坡国际会议中心里的国际美容展当“跑腿”了。美容展一共是四天，从早上十一点到晚上七点。这样算回来，小女一共“跑”了三十二小时 – 还是没得坐下休息叻！

搞展览真的不是一件容易的是。展览场地越大，该头痛的东西也越多。这次的美容展可让我大开眼界哦！东西不但没安排好，到最后还会是很凌乱，大家都开始在慌。救命啊，这不是有七年经验的展览公司吗？！怎么可能七年的经验都不够吗？

虽然如此，但公司还满要“抗头”的。他们应该花费了不少把台湾著名的小曼，小凯及李中源老师带过来办讲座。在开幕典礼的那天，还为他们举办了记者招待会。而林叶婷老师则是代言SHILLS这美容产品。



抱歉，小女不方便拍摄太多照片。一两张还行啦，因为在工作的关系吗。然而即使是在工作的时候，也不忘记要当一名消费者。消费者的图片如下：



第一天的美容展结束后，我还得去脚底按摩呢。你说可怜不可怜？要谢谢小SH陪伴我，度过辛苦的四天地狱美容展。

Pepper Lunch

I feel that we’re far apart ever since I've moved on to a new job environment and I’m grateful for every moment I spent with you.


Thursday, 27 May 2010

You promised to apply for a full day annual leave. However, something came up in the office that forced you to stay and only be able to accompany me on the second half of the day. Disappointed, yes of course, because our plan need to be postponed but I also thank you for all the effort made.

We decided to do our luncheon at Pepper Lunch – a Japanese DIY Teppan restaurant that caught my attention on the first sight. Pepper Lunch is located at Sunway Pyramid, First Floor of the Old Wing (it replaces Genki Sushi, I think).







Chicken Pepper Rice (with additional egg) and Hamburger Steak Rice with Egg were our choices of the day. By topping up RM2.80, we upgraded our main dish to a set meal which includes one main and one drink or soup or ice-cream.

Chicken Pepper Rice



Hamburger Steak Rice with Egg


死板板 Seet will always top-up for the same thing which is his drink, in this case it’s Pepsi. Whereas for me, I had Matcha (green tea ice cream) and I’m truly in love with it. It’s as smooth as McD’s ice cream topped with fresh green tea. I would say this is one of the best green tea ice-cream I had. In addition, I also side order another bowl of seaweed soup. Unfortunately this disappoints me, not as expected.

Matcha


The interesting part is the DIY, more like CIY (cook it yourself). Shake, stir, mix – every Pepper Lunch meal comes with easy instructions on how to unleash every tantalizing flavor. You may also add in specially made sauce that is only available at Pepper Lunch - Garlic Soya Sauce and Honey Brown Sauce. There is also a “How to Sizzle” video looping in-store for better understanding.

Lunch at Pepper Lunch is as easy as 1.2.3.

谢谢你，勾引我老公！

　　俗话说的好: 再好的鱼肉吃多了，也还是想尝尝大白菜的味道；再好的老婆处久了，也还是想知道别的女人的风韵。所以，如果你下了决心勾引我老公，而我老公也上钩了，我一点也不觉得奇怪。

　　我想感谢你，在许多个寂寞无聊的日子里陪伴着我老公。人真的很奇怪，会莫名其妙地在人群中感到孤独，会无缘无故地在黄昏的时候伤感，哪怕他衣食无忧，且有娇妻爱子相伴左右。孤独与拥有无关，每个人的心中总有一块处女地，任凭外面刮风下雨，都永远无法触摸得到。或许就差那么一点点，或许爱和感受就像病毒一样不断升级，就差那么一点点，你就永远找不到满足的感觉。

　　我知道，如果我温柔，他就会感受不到辣；如果我安静，他就会感受不到酸；如果我风骚，他就感受不到甜；如果我善良，他就感受不到苦。而我不想让他的感受有缺憾，不想让他在没有我的日子里忍受煎熬。

　　人生不能想，一想就流泪。我们有我们每个人的事业，只是为了更好的生存，我们不能天天在一起，我们不能时刻都让对方满意。在异地他乡，能有人陪他，也是我前世修来的福。我只是想让他的生活不痛苦不空白。距离产生的美反而让我们无法分开，他说他愿意在任何一个场合跟任何一个人说，老婆为我做了很多，我永远不会抛弃她。人说爱是自私的，可是爱也是高尚的，爱的最高境界不是占有，如果我爱他，我选择尽一切可能让他感觉幸福。

　　男人经不起诱惑，尤其是美丽女人的诱惑，我老公也是个凡人，经不起。仅美丽女人勾引我老公的过程就会让他的生活充满了色彩。不再那么苦闷。

　　也许他会感觉到对我的伤害，其实只要不以为这是伤害，它就不是伤害。他善意的隐瞒，隐瞒绝对不是欺骗，那就是他不想伤害我。我穷其一生追求的只是他对我的心意，不是任何一种内容和形式。如果你勾引了他，而他发现你就是他一生要找的另一半，我为什么非要横在中间？如果你不是，他终究会回到我的身边。我了解并能容忍他的任何一个致命的弱点，我们一起经历了风风雨雨的见证，有谁能像我一样始终站在他生命最低谷的边缘？

　　曾经看过一篇文章，写的特别实在，文章名字叫《她现在能给你的，都是我十年前给过你的！》。

　　我正专心的看电视，他突然说：“我们离婚吧”。他很严肃，不像是跟我开玩笑。浮上我脑海的第一个念头是：他肯定抄股亏大了，或者是得了绝症，怕连累我。我坚决的摇头，油然而生一股要跟他共患难的豪情。

　　他的第二句话将我打入地狱：“我爱上别人了，对不起。”

　　“什么时候？”我努力沉住气。

　　“半年了，是旅行认识的，她是导游，很单纯，人又热情。”也许意识到自己赞美的词语用的过多，他刹住了，愧疚的看着我。

　　“有多爱？”“十分爱。”

　　我没有再问下去，问的太细只会让自己伤的更深，不如给自己留点颜面。

　　回忆跟他在一起的日子，我们很幸福。可是，既然人家已经喜新厌旧，我干吗死不放手呢？我长长吐了一口气：“一切就按你的意思办吧。有人能将你这个祸害从我身边领走，我真是感激不尽。”他惊讶的看着我，他知道我并不是一个心胸豁达的女人。

　　“其实我对你也有审美疲劳。”你把我看的轻如鸿毛，就别指望自己还是我心中的泰山。

　　他深感愧疚，决定把家里的一切留给我和孩子。离婚前，他约我一起吃饭，几杯酒下肚，他的话多了起来，他说，他希望得到我的祝福，他还主动说起那个女孩，她朝气蓬勃，跟她在一起，他有被点燃的感觉。想起自己曾经也年轻漂亮，朝气蓬勃，也曾经那样吸引他，我与那个，只是隔了十年的光阴，却被明显贴上了旧爱与新欢的标签。

　　“她很天真，一点小事也能让她感到满足，跟她去购物，抽奖得了一块香皂；带她去吃北京饺子；送她一块20元的电子表，给她买一个土渣儿饼... 她都会欣喜若狂。跟她在一起，我很放松，我可以抽烟抽的屋子里一股烟味，我可以玩通宵麻将，跟朋友拼酒... ”他陶醉在自己的幸福里，满眼的温柔。

　　而我，像所有的黄脸婆一样，精打细算，过问他每一笔开销，买双袜子都要货比三家。我不许他抽烟，禁止他喝酒，更反对他吆三喝四的赌博。

　　“和她在一起，我感觉心跳加速，干什么都充满力量。”他显然已有几分醉意。

　　我打断他：“从此以后，我不再是你的黄脸婆，不再是你不用支付工资的用人。我可以节省为你熨衣服配领带的时间，来打扮自己；我可以节省下为你买衣物的钱，给自己挑几件拿的出手的时装；我可以不用绞尽脑汁地搜索鱼的N种做法，不用讨好你的胃，想吃饭我就做，不想做饭，我可以带女儿去吃快餐；我可以不再担心你抽烟伤了肺，喝酒伤了肝；我不再为你洗吐的一塌糊涂的被单；不用在你醉了酒，睡在街边某个角落时，一边哭一边满大街的找；我可以不用再操心你老家的亲戚今天谁做寿，明天谁娶媳妇，不用再每个月给你爸妈寄生活费；不用每年跟你坐半天的车，提着大包小包走十多里山路，只为陪你父母吃顿年夜饭... 是啊，离婚，真是太好了！”

　　说完这些，我泪如泉涌，而他则楞楞的看着我，我一直都表现的很冷静，可是，一点酒精就把我的内心出卖了。三十多岁的女人，谁不在乎自己经营多年的婚姻？ 我又笑起来：“离吧，离了看你得意多久，你十分爱她是吧？她也十分爱你是吧？走到一起后，一起生活几年，看你还会不会见到她就心跳加速，她现在能给你的都是十年前我给过你的，你就折腾去吧！等你折腾够了就会发现，你只是把我们走过的路又重复走了一遍而已。” “你醉了？”他有些紧张的看着我。

　　“我没有天真单纯过吗？我没有年轻美丽过吗？我把你送的一只铜戒指、一本书、一枚书签视若珍宝，冒着严寒为你织手套。我也十分爱过，可是走进婚姻，女人的角色就复杂了，在爱的同时，有了很多责任。他不可能再十分专注的爱一个人，她要从这十分爱中分出一分爱公公婆婆，又要从中分出一分来爱自己的父母，还要从中分一分来爱孩子。十分的爱经过婚姻的洗礼，就只剩下了七分。当另一份十分的爱袭击她的幸福时，她就无以抵挡...”

　　最终，我们没有离婚，他改变了主意。他说我清醒的时候没有醉酒的时候理智，也没有醉酒的时候聪明...

　　谢谢某人，勾引我老公。

　　谢谢某人，洒脱，解脱。

在面子书里看到了这么一篇，令我很有感触。这一切仿佛“似曾相识”(只是我没结婚，也没有十年那么久，最终也没有在一起），也令我感觉到幸福不是必然的。

其实在很久很久以前，无论是在自己或别人身上，都得不到安全感。觉得幸福会随时随地在你不知不觉时溜走，永远就是觉得那么不安。甚至还开始对什么都没有信心，就连别人的真心付出我都没办法相信及接受。恐怕最终受伤害的是自己。

朋友啊，现实生活往往都是“估你唔都”的。接受吧！

Philips Rendezvous with Mums

Mother’s Day is celebrated in most countries including Malaysia, on the second Sunday in the month of May, as a day to pay tribute to mothers and motherhood.

Mothers are arguably the most important persons in our lives. Theirs is a job that lasts a lifetime, and Mother’s Day allows us to let them know how much we appreciate all that they do for us.

In conjunction with this year’s Mother’s Day, Philips Malaysia celebrated in appreciation of mothers working in the media. Coined ‘Pamper the Media Mum Day’, Philips opened up its Saujana Villa 'Lifestyle Concept Condominium' in Shah Alam to host the mums to a special treat of rest and relaxation.

Saujana Villa




A fun-filled itinerary was in store for the mothers who were treated to host of ‘pampering sessions’. They were given exquisite hair styling and makeover by professionals, a relaxing foot massage and infracare therapy, and topped up with an entertaining high-definition Blu-ray movie with LCD TV and Home Theater system.

The mums even had celebrity cook Chef Zam present at the condominium to prepare a sumptuous meal, while giving cooking tips and recipes.

Media mums are ushered to prepare fresh fruit juices for themselves

I also take the opportunity to make my own fresh juice - mango, orange, carrot and apple by using Philips Big Tube Power Juicer, a very interesting juicer! I can throw in the entire apple without cutting into slices.

I also requested for a haircut from the available hairstylist and this can save my cutting cost for another 3 months!

For the first time, very kind client has also given me a stalk of rose (it's meant for media mums).



Thanks, my client!

Double Celebration, Double Happiness

509
Mother’s Day has become the “traditional” celebration we practice at home. When I was younger, I remember I will hide in the room for a day, busy decorating my handmade card.

As I grew elder, the personalized card has “transformed” into a lunch/dinner treat. And of course, it will not be me paying. It used to be my father and now my sister. Soon, it will be my responsibility – I can foresee.

513
Dad’s birthday!

Of course the date will also remind us on the May 13 incident, a dark day for all Malaysian.

A very funny conversation took place when I was pitching for a one-on-one interview to the Editor of one local publication, conversation as follows:

Editor: Bila ya interview tu?

Me: Disebabkan tight schedule yang my client has, we're looking at this Thursday - 13 May.

Editor: Aiya, tak mau lah. Takut.

Me: Huh?

Editor: May 13, takut keluar.

Me: *eyes blink blink* Oh! Tak der lah, kita 1Malaysia mah...

For this year celebration, sister decided to go The Apartment. Since she is paying, of course we don't mind. Let me guess the reason(s) why she wanna dine in there.

1. She never been to The Apartment.
So do my family and I

2. Mothers are entitled to a complimentary meal from a choice of five dishes available.
Sister kiasu! Mwuaaahhh……



Chicken With Avocado and Turmeric Salsa (free meal)



Fresh Tomato and Red Capsicum Soup RM10.90



Pouched Egg and Bacon RM16.90



Lemon Sole RM27.90



Tossed Pasta with Prawns RM29.90



Baked Chocolate Pudding RM15.90



Watermelon Juice RM11.90



Latte RM10.90


Thanks sis, for the awesome meal!

Finally, for the album.







It's very strange on that morning, mom, sis and I coincidently were wearing yellow. Didn't you realise that?

Papa's Birthday Cake

Kek ini adalah ditaja oleh Encik Teoh Seet Heng. Ribuan terima kasih atas sumbangan anda.


P/S: We didn't get a bigger cake. Reason being, my family doesn't really eat cake (sweet things in general). Purpose of the cake - for cutting ceremony.

Timberland Plays its Part in Answering Earth Day's Call

In Malaysia, Timberland has recognized Earth Day with community service events for 10 years and this year, Timberland Malaysia worked hand-in-hand with The Malaysian Nature Society; which manages the Kuala Selangor Nature Park; in preserving this important piece of natural habitat.



Amongst the core activities for this year's event were mangrove tree planting, mangrove clean up and the repainting of the park’s educational site.

And I'm proud to be part the mangrove planting!

Plant and plant



Okay, perhaps some help



And say cheese


With all the hard work, we're rewarded with a spectacular sea view. All hard work has become so valuable with the sea breeze.

It’s a satisfactory!

Helms Deep Discovery

For your kind information, Helms Deep is the term our office created for the smelly yet cheap food court in Mid Valley. Its main entrance located at Ground Floor, between Big Apple Donut and the Thai restaurant.

Hemls Deep has plenty salivary food available and a few of my favourite are:

Sajian Pakcik
Malay style fried rice
I heart their nasi goreng kampong with telur dadar

Vanilas
Indian rice
My favourite is the fried bitter gourd and stir fried cabbage

There more stalls at Helms Deep offering economical and delicious lunch. Recently, I discovered another two stalls that I'm placing it into my favourite list.

Nasi Lemak Kukus
Nasi lemak lor
Yes, it sells only Nasi Lemak and it serves freshly steamed coconut rice. You will be able to see them taking the rich fresh from the steamer and pack it on-the-spot.

At the early stage of its opening, I thought myself: “Cheh, it’s just Nasi Lemak, why do you need the whole stall to sell one item?”

Surprisingly, I’m seeing a lot of customers queuing during lunch hour and particularly long. Finally, out of curiousity, I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be sooooooooo good!



Observe it. Manage to see any difference?

It’s unlike the ordinary nasi lemak whereby it comes with red sambal belacan. The “sambal belacan” served here is made by chili padi, unexpectedly tasty!

Well, this is not the craziest yet. I heard from my sister that there used to be a morning roadside Nasi Lemak stall along Jalan Ampang, served Nasi Lemak with chili sauce. Sounds crazy?

Malay Mixed Rice
Assorted dishes
I’m craving for fried fish topped with sambal belacan recently - badly, along with my favourite fried potato with sambal and sambal eggplant.



Yummy!

This is no good, I'm craving for food now! HALPPPPPPPPPP.........
