missing my granpa

i never realized how much i am going to miss my grandpa until i picked up my phone receiver and dial his number.

when i heard his voice, i realized that i’m going to miss him very much and was fighting back tear during our brief conversation. and tears are flowing freely while i’m typing this in my office.

My grandpa is always concerned and ask about his children and grandchildren well-being. “is everything ok? how have you been?”

now, is my turn to call and ask how is he doing? i really miss him alot, knowing that i won’t be seeing him for the next 6 months.

I called him earlier and told him that I’ve not since him for many weeks, and would love to have dinner with him on tomorrow night.

 My heart is also full of guilt of not spending enough time with my 85 year old grandpa. He is such a funny man. He always tells us jokes and makes our tummy ache. and he is also brilliant with numbers! He doesn’t believe in calculator or phone book! he is blessed with a memory of 100GB i believe!! you can always test him if you don;t believe me. 🙂

Whenever i need a relative number, i will call him for SOS and he will response within a few seconds with the tel no. just so amazing.

I know i’m being selfish. but I always pray and ask God not to take my grandpa away. Ever since grandma gone to heaven, I know he is missing her alot. Sometimes he will sat down in a corner and ponder on their memories. I know…it hurts me alot to see him sad. but still, i cannot be happy if he goes.

ok…i will stop here. else, i cant stop this tears.

Shopping in Singapore!!!!

I finally got my feet to Singapore soil!! yeah..and spent Sing Dollar! (darn kui man…2.31 = RM1) but it was quite a fun trip…minus the aching feet.

 If I’m earning that currency, the shopping spree would be so much afforable and fun! with only $25.90 – $49.90 for a pair of really trendy and nice shoe. SG dollar earner can easily afford to buy 2-3 pair a month! hahaha…Not to mentioned the affortability to buy LV, Prada, Coach and other $$$ etc etc etc. Great buying power…unlike Malaysian Ringgit earner like me…who can only afford “Petaling Street punya barang” hahaha…pathetic hor.

I was constantly watching my budget over there. The back of my head is always converting the SG to RM!!! it is so dangerous to shop there sometimes…the dollar value make my heart screaming…CHEAP CHEAP, on the other hand, my conscience reminding me…eh, SGD39.90 = RM92.16 ok)

haha…no wonder after the shopping trip, I was dead tired. I had my feet and brain working at the same time whole day long. And who says Women don’t use the brain when shopping?!! I over rule that!

anyways, I got myself a pair of shoe, a dress-coat, a pants, a watch, a eyelash serum (apparently the thing is able to lengthen ur eyelash! ahahaha…wth no harm trying. :P),  a nice blouse for my mother….and i still have SGD20 in my wallet! Don’t mind sharing… I only exchange SGD 150 to Singapore. HA!

Talking about dollar to a dollar…What good deals can you buy with RM150 in Malaysia? includes food and transportation?

Hair Frenzyyy!

I went for hair colour and highlight yesterday! (After I had my cut at the same place the day before..) haha

and I LOOVEE IT!. I really recommend you gals ( and guys) to go there for your next hair-do!

the teams is really good. i mean..i’m really satisfied with the outcome and the price i paid for it. my total hair do…cost me only RM184!! i know it is not the cheap cheap kind…but for the result i get, it’s all WORTH it lor. 🙂

i dun have the exact address…but the salon is Dataran Glomac, Kelana Jaya. the row behind public bank. shoudn;t be to hard to find. 🙂

I’m leaving to AUSSIE land

I know this is a short notice, I should be flying to Australia only in January. but due to unforseen circumstances, i’ll be flying off in 3 Weeks time.

(dearest friends..please dun kill me..just miss me un-conditionally) Hahaha..

another pack and go decision again..

and… I didn’t get to resign. :S

My resignation letter was rejected by my director, even though I told him I am going off for 6 months and might even extend depends on the circumstances! and I felt that it would be fairer for the other staff. But he insisted on rejecting the resignation, and will look forward for me to return to work after the break.

So, technically I’m still employed, but at the same time will be having a long break in the land down under.

Thank God for the favours!!

I’ll be leaving on the 13th of November 2008 2007 (paiseh..didn;t realized i was a year ahead) with Qantas Airways. Can’t wait for the launching of AirAsiaX to Adelaide!!

“Poison cures Poison”

I woke up this morning with aching bones and my room furnitures seems to be floating around me. I called in office for a leave and I stayed in bed till 2pm. It’s been awhile since I caught with a fever. Maybe is because I was caught under the rain a few nights ago..

I taught the fever had already do me good, until my younger brother called me telling me that he got into an accident with my car. which i had just renew the insurance policy and my NCB is at 55%!! My brother told me that it was the other party fault. but to assure of that, I pulled myself together and drove to the accident scene and have my little own investigation. Added to my “temperature”, it was my brother carelessness! And the driver of the other party had already lodge a police report. so, it means that my brother (or rather me) have to make the report as well and pay the fine of RM300, and kiss goodbye to my 55% NCB over the minor accident because of my brother’s carelessness! (I was burning HOT!)

both my brothers had contributed in given my “baby” some facelifts! from the front to the back! OMG! a 5 years old cars can pass for a 10 years old!

but anyways, I told my brother that no matter what he have to make the report. But whether the other party made any claims to my insurance or not…we’ll just wait and see. (finger cross!!) 

and about 2 hours later,  i got another call from another brother of mine. Just a simple “chea, I’m in petronas petrol station right now, but their credit card system is offline, even their ATM is not functioning. I already made the purchases. so how ar?”

Thank God for Maybank2u.com!

I made a speedy Internet transaction to transfer some money into his account, so that he’s able to pay for the petrol.

Talking about Medical leave huh?

but the good-news is…both my brothers etiquette had cured their sister’s headache. Who needs doctor anyways?  just some silly incidents that will make u drive up the wall. ever heard of the quote “poison cure poison” (in mandarin)?

Sinful breakfast!

I had the most sinful breakfast today! But totally enjoy it!

 

Nick called yesterday informing that Janssen is back from Australia and is craving for BKT!! Hahaha…too bad Tah couldn’t join us. He is having his second honey moon in Krabi! You go dude! J

I was sooo reluctant to wake up! Common, its a Public Holiday!! No work!! a rare occastion that deserved to celebrate!! so when my alarm rang at 8am, I switch it off automatically and continue to snooze until Nick called at 8.15am asking whether I’m awake or not. I said…”Ya, of course I’m awake.” 😛 (bright morning lie..haha). I guess he knows me well enough to give a wake up call. 😛

 

I pick up Uncle Philip on the way and meet the rest of the guys there. It was an enjoyable breakfast with those dudes. Even when the BKT aunty came over to take our orders…

 

BKT Aunty: you want claypot or indivdual bowl?

Ange: Claypot please.

BKT Aunty: For how many people? (for BKT “how many people meant the portion)

Ange, Nick and Philip: 3 people

Janssen: FOUR PLEASE!

Ange, Nick and Phillip: …………..*sweat!

 

hahahaha…4 portion for 4 people is quite a lot! usually you order less than the headcount. I guess our deareast Janssen is REALLY craving for BKT. and he even bought his own “Yau Char Kuai”! Jans has an appetite of an aussie man.

 

but….we manage to finish the 4 portion of meat! (sinful sinful! oink oink oink)

 

anyway, we did enjoy our breakfast. it’s been while since we had BKT together. it used to be our usual activity during PH morning. with other friends like Sze, Jo, and of course Tah and Sherene. It had died down since….everyone is getting busier?

 

Four of us practically sat there from 8.45am – 12.30pm. Lots of things to update! 

 

Our conversation is practically updating our lifes progress, from the good old days to our current state. Janssen is a now a Doctor in Adelaide Hospital, Nick is a certifite accountant working for one of the big 4 and Philip is going to be a dad soon! Congrats dude!!! and me??? not much of a progress i guess…sad-nya…

 

it was a very good catch up session, eat..talk..laugh..talk..eat..laugh. good exercise for the tummy and jaw! hope we are able to have this more often. Now that i’m back :), do you hear me guys???? one of these days! Not next year!!

 

Anyways, I gotta do at least a 2km jog to burn the PORK swimming in my stomach now! (yieewww…oink oink)

washing, cleaning..

A Saturday which I planned to spend in Singapore, ended up doing some household chores at home.

My mum is in Singapore right now, doing some shopping I guess. So, the cleaning and washing is pratically left to “mua”. The worse area right now gotta be my room.

I haven’t got time to clean/ re-arrange my stuffs since I moved back to Klang. My room is in a mess right now. A definite NO Entry area!

I’m thinking of getting some new furniture and a coat of new paints to add back the serenity of my little sanctuary. J

Maybe I’ll drop by the furniture shop later and do all this heavy chores. And if time permits…I’ll end my day with a pampering massage and facial. J 

Impromptu-ness day

Today I woke up with this crazy urge of wanting to go down south. It’s crazy I know. I have no plans what to do there. Maybe just wanna get my passport chop “SINGAPORE”, or breathe a cleaner air there.

The first I did this morning is to message some friends on my trip down, and find a place to stay for a night. After it was done, I check for the availability of transport.Coach at this festive season, was out of a question! I check on the train instead. To my excitement, there are 2 more places available on the “first class” seat only RM60, and many more for the berth first class.

Happily, I went down to KL sentral to purchase the ticket. Hopefully, the 2 seats will still be waiting for me. When I reached the counter, the only seat available is the first class berth ticket… dun think is worth the money anyway.

So…plan cancel. Preparing to face the long weekend in Malaysia. :S

Don’t mind making an impromptu again, but this time I’ll make sure it happens!

Apart from that… I officially handed the key back to the condo owner today. So…goodbye Kelana Putra Condo, Unit D706. All memories behind close door! Sayonara…
