Big day starts tomorrow!

Hey guys, I have created a sub-blog called "Work vs Me". So anything about me and my first ever working experience will be blogged there instead. Why? cause i figure out that this blog is for me to blog most of my "CRAZY" or "UNEXPECTED" times. The besides, i'll be blogging almost everyday about my working life, i hope.

And another reason is that because i'm trying, or hoping to create a blog like the one "Julie and Julia" show did. It really looked fun and all so i figured why not try it out? So here's a link to my blog. http://workvsme.blogspot.com/

You can also get into this blog by entering the page above that says "WorkingLife". Hope you guys like it!! XOXO~

Day 3 and 4 in KL... and back to Penang

Ok.. so i kinda forgotten to update my blog last night, was watching live streaming of "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade". I know i don't celebrate thanksgiving, i think only the americans do so, but it's still fun to watch the parade. I mean, everyone's favorite cartoon/childhood character was there. Including my most fav SNOOPY!!!! XD  Yes yes!! Snoopy appeared as a BIG BALLOON!! omg, how cute was that??!!

-Taken from live stream TV-

Anyway, back to my KL trip. So, day 3.... went shopping at one utama, and bought a pair of shoes. My so call "working shoes" that is. Forgotten to take a picture of it before putting them on, but the shoes my mom brought over from penang were KILLING me! So no choice, i had to put them on the moment i bought them. To describe them, there are like those flat shoes where teenagers like wearing these days, yeah, they were actually FLAT! (Dad said i needed flats to walk around the factory). It's peach or so called "skin" coloured, as what i know, (that is the trend colour right now) with a striped bow on top. Overall, i would give it a 3 star as it's FLAT! i hate flat shoes... as a short person i still perfer shoes with heals... but anyway, no choice.

I bought two shirts as well with dad's credit card, and boy his face was so SOUR the minute i actually swiped it. Well the total was around rm101 so... what else do you expect? XD  Still, i'm gonna be buying more, not now though, cause i have not a single clue what should i wear for work!!! I don't even know should i be shopping for work clothes or just ordinary college clothings!!?? What do you think I should buy?

And what else did i do?? Oh ya, went of visiting my uncle (Kao Kong) there. His house was like 5 min away from the hotel. I really didn't expected his house to be just right behind the hotel, i knew he was staying somewhere near there but i had no idea it was really that near. So we got to his place, had a small chat, waited for his dauther-in-law to come back (aunty dorine) so we all could go out and have dinner. Talking about dinner, that was like the BEST DINNER i had since coming back to malaysia! Seriously!! Dad spent like rm44 for two vegetarian dishes which would have only cost rm18 back in our hometown! Which obviously means that.... NEVER LET MEN ORDER THE FOOD!! or for this case, my dad. Dinner was like, SO GOOD! even thought it was cheap, but it was so good!! Curry tou fu, deer's meat, fried yam.. omg.. what more can you ask for???!!

Ok, so that was day 3... and day 4.. we went back to ikea for the 3rd time!! dad really wanted to buy a kitchen counter top and wanted mom's approval so.... yea.. 3rd time in ikea. I wanted to rush of to borders to read that book of mine but dad was like.. "NO!" man, why can't i just go of and do some stuff on my own!? So had to followed him, walking around the store, listening to them talking about what design and what counter top should they get. I'm the designer of the house, and they don't even wanna listen to my advise.. so... why bother even listening to them arguing over a counter top in the end anyway? And all i did was like, stood there, looking at the catalog. Turning pg by pg, looking for new design inspirations. (i'm still thinking of designing even it's a holiday now.. something must be wrong with me!)

So after shopping at ikea, we rushed back home... and now.. i just reached home. Mom didn't trust my driving skills so i sat at the back, dreaming my way back home... at least i didn't had to think much. XD And now, i'm finally back home in my room... warm n cozy... ah.. my BLUE ROOM! how nice is that? So relaxing, so cooling... so.... ah~ I just love it here... with my car parked outside. Can't wait to drive my baby tmr. It's been a while but, i don't care, I'm definitely gonna drive it... soon... or before i start work. I have to, i'm not gonna wait till my mom fetch me home from the factory! by the time she finishes it'll be like 9pm! I'm not gonna stay there till 9pm!!! Anyway, glad to be home. Missing aussie abit but still... IT'S SO DARN GOOD TO BE HOME!!! XD LOVE IT HERE!!

A good sign of going home... XD

Day 2-KL

Second day in KL and how was it?? I should say pretty ok~

So, i slept really really REALLY early last night, cause i thought it was like 12am here, but fact is it was only like 9pm!!! Yeah, i was looking at my computer's clock which was still set according to the aus clock. So woke up at like 6am cause i thought it was 9, and thn only realized that i was looking at the wrong clock!!

Anyawy, went off to kl's so call "all in one" shopping place. Ikea, thn Ikano, thn The Curve... man my legs are so tired. I've never walked like that for ages!!! Got to Ikea at like 11am, and waited for like 30min cause they served lunch at that time and i didn't had any breakfast at all!! And for ikea, wow wee, i should say for a furnitre store they do serve the best food in town! I'm serious! Just go to ikea and have lunch next time. No matter what you order, it just tastes so GOOD!!! Even the curry puff i got for tea was so GOOD!!! (and dad asked me why i bought so many... he ended up eating 2 btw)

Ok, so shopping with dad wasn't really a good thing. I mean, the moment i walked into Padini, my heart went "man, he's gonna kill me if i even consider buying one of these stuffs!" So i snuck my way to Borders instead. And OMG!!! I didn't know how, but i happened to stumble upon this AWSOME book called "The Male's Brain", where the author explains how complex can a male's brain be!! i mean lets face it, we all think that the male's brain is SIMPLE as, well what a male person shows... but according to her, there is actually so much more than what meets the eye! What really caught my attention was there was this tiny sub title under the Teen Boy's chapter called "Penis Gun" (or something like that). the moment i saw that i knew that i had to read the book from begining to end! i mean, the male's brain does think more thn it should be thinking!! And SEX has dominated i think more then HALF of its brain!!!

Dad didn't wanted to buy the book for me, and he didn't wanted me to sit at Starbucks to enjoy the book. He said it was too expensive for a "stupid" book like that. Oh for heaven sakes! It's a BOOK!!!! come on... i have to read it!!! man!!! i really wanna read it! He ended up shutting me by purchasing this designer book. Quite a good book which gives lots of inspiration on Eco-friendly design, i mean, since uni wants us to go GREEN, why not buy a book that gives GREEN ideas??

 

For all designers out there, its a great book to get. So GO GET IT! XD anyway, went to ikea for the second time after mom came back from work as dad wanted to show her the kitchen cabinet top.  And by the looks of them, i have a really bad feeling that they did some upgrade to the kitchen, and it's not really good..... Oh come on, any upgrade they do when ever i'm not around isn't all that good ok? Let's just pray i don't see something awful at home. 

Oh ya, and before that, we went out and had a wonderful  expensive dinner. Yes it cost like Rm101, and thank god mom's able to claim from her company, otherwise my dad will be jumping up and down again. Hakka dinner, first time in my life actually having Hakka dishes like that. I don't even really remember the names of the dish but there was this fried rice i ordered called "lei cha fried rice" and it tasted so DULL! Its like they just took the brown rice, fried it in the hot pan, or i should say "HEAT IT UP", placed raw veges around it, and served that with "lei cha" soup which tasted awkward as well. It wasn't too salty, or too sweet or anything, it just, didn't have any taste at all! Anyway, it's still a first, glad i tried it. I always like trying new food anyway, so i'm not gonna complain that much.

Cute tea set ain't it?

The meal we had

 

 

Tofu...

three cup beef (that's what they call it)

Fried rice (lei cha fried rice) don't ask what's that.. i don't know either

Cute tomato~

And so now, i'm stuck her, gonna be sleeping on the floor tonight as mom took the side bed, and dad's never gonna sleep there. Yes, i'm making myself awfully tired tonight so once i get to bed, i would just be able to close my eyes, not think about anything and go straight to bed. That's what i hope will happen.

BTW, my blogger's picture upload function is not working properly so i'll try to upload the pictures later. Anyway, i'm signing off now, mom said i could get some new outfits for work next week, and my head's starting to spin.. damn that's a good sign.. ok guys.. good night!

Day 1- KL

Haven't slept whole night in the plane, even thought i got a "upgrade" from the middle seat to the aisle seat. Who could?? I mean, i was watching like 3 marvelous, wonderful movies (Inception, Sister Act and The Sorceress Apprentice), and also an episode of "how I met your mother". Glee was on of cause but i kinda watch whole of season 1, so i figured why not watch something else instead? And boy.... Did not regret watching those 3 shows!!! I'll be doing a review on Sister Act and Inception after this blog. Be patient guys.... XD

Ok, carrying on. I landed in KL at 5.30am... quite early huh?? Well, is not early really, IF you start your flight at 12am, including all the time difference and everything. So went out using the coach as our "sky train" was doing a so call "major upgrade", but it didn't take long to reach the other end of the terminal anyway so, not to bad.

Saw mom and dad, and i was so HAPPY until i saw something else in dad's hands... AN IPAD!!! OMG... big kuku actually helped my mom to buy an ipad all the way from aus!!! WTF!!!! And of cause, as a BIG apple fan, i started playing with it. (I still can't get my head out of it right now).

On the way to the hotel

KLCC... see it??

The new family member.. XD

So got to the first hotel, actually i can't even remember the name of the hotel really, but all i know it was a 5 star hotel, where the people working there really treat you as if you're a RICH person. Something i've NEVER experience before! They even had to scan dad's car before he drove into the basement parking lot. Anyway, mom told me she was checking out from that hotel that afternoon so i didn't really had much of a chance to enjoy the hotel, only a 2 hour rest and that was it. So after 2 hours of sleep, i got up, washed up and went of to Pavillion with dad to have lunch. And WTH, we had lunch at "Old Town Kopitiam". I know, the toast is not all that bad right? I mean that's their signature dish anyway, and one of the dishes i like best!!

Christmas Deco at KL city...

Checked out from that hotel and drove all the way to damensara, (the 2nd hotel-One World). And we used like 1 hour plus to get our butt here!!! Dad got lost half way cause of the traffic and stupid road designs kl have. And worst of all, it was raining!!! so heavily!!! The roads even started flooding!!! Now who the hack came up with such a lousy road design??!!! Oh god.

After checking into the second hotel, mom rushed back to work, and me and dad just went walking around 1 utama. Yes One Utama is right next to One World so we just walked. Didn't had the mood to shop as i was so tired, and One Utama is like so HUGE!!!! Man my feet are so sore right now, and my legs, and my brain.....

Had dinner at Wong Kok and man, are they trying to copy Kim Gary??? It doesn't really taste good ya know??? the old menu didn't tasted good and so does the new one. How can they just copy Kim Gary's menu???!!! EWW....

Ok, that's it, i can't think anymore... i really need to head of to bed.. i'll be blogging more tmr thn... after i catch up on my sleep that is... GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!! And to those who are still in aus... I MISS YOU GUYS!!! XD (oh ya.. nai nai found out my secret finally so.... SURPRISE!! i'm not in pg anyway so... no point telling her so much right?? LOL) Good Night guys!!

Going home~ Again~

Today's the day, i'm almost pack n ready to head home, well short off. I still need to change b4 my flight and stuff. Just hoping some "monthly girly thing" doesn't come.

Anyway, will be stopping by at kl for this week. Mom's having a seminar over there, and good thing because we have free hotels to stay in. And best off all, they're all 5 stars hotels!!! So even if i have my "girly" thing, i can enjoy it in the comfort of a hotel.. *YUCKS*

So, excited to be going home?? HELL YA!!! but just thinking about the day where i have to start working, just makes me.... SICK!!! ya, i don wanna work. i wanna have fun!!! But at least i'll get my degree on time. Who knows? Maybe i'll like it......???

And so, i'll be blogging about my adventures of an industrial trainee, and hope to let you all know what working life is all about. Is the first time I have a proper job like so, and i'm not hopping to screw things up. Anyway, will be kinda interesting letting you all know about my working life won't it?? XD I'll be blogging this in my other blog, which i'll set up later, so hope you guys stay tune..... I'll post up a link in fb as well so that more people will know how interesting working life can be.

Ok, gotta run, and don't worry, i'll be still here blogging my fav. Musicals and Movies or even any new Tv shows that i find interesting and am willing to keep a memory of it. See you guys back in penang. Hope to blog in kl if i get internet access.

Julie and Julia (2009)

I was up whole night, lending my bed to Tina, since she has to work at 5.45am this morning, so what i did was watched "Julie and Julia". Thought it was gonna be one of those shows were i would just shut it off right after 30 min, but instead, I actually watched the whole thing. No wonder it was nominated for an oscar. It's WONDERFUL!

I'm still a big fan of musicals, really I am! but this show is just wonderful. Seeing how "Julie" is this woman, who really is just your ordinary typical working housewife, goes to work from 9 to 5, and comes back and has a boring life style, and being able to be so determine just doing something that she likes so much, that's really an inspirational show. She sets herself a dateline, to cook up 500 over recipes from her favorite person "Julia"  in 365 days, and writes a blog about it, and finds out how much they have in common , and how determine she is to set her dreams, even though her mom didn't really agree on the subject at first, but she made it in the end, and managed to come up with this fantastic cook book! Just like her idol!!

This is really a touching and inspiring story to watch. Maybe i should start coming up with a blog of some short. Not to say this blog is not working, i mean after all this blog is like my journal after all, writing stuff on how i feel and things like that. Ya, maybe i should have an open blog where everyone could read it, and write about movies I've seen. That's a good way to spend my summer holiday. XD

 

Just watch the show, you'll love it!! And if you like cooking or eating, you're definitely gonna love this show.  Thumbs up!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1

Exams are finally over!! YOHOO!!! no more finals.. for now that is. Anyway, what better things to do then to watch a prefect HARRY POTTER movie with ur good friend after a stressful 3 days exams. XD

Now about the show, yes we did went all the way to glen waverley. Took me like one hour plus just to get there, but it was all worth it. Got nice seats to watch the show as well. Of cause we did! the cinema has like a show every single hour!! how can u not get a good show???

So, about the show, well its pretty good. Actually really much better thn the ones before. I mean, at least they didn't really cut out the important parts this time. You know how harry potter is, they keep cutting out parts that u really wanna watch, and make u so frustrated that you wanna kill the show, and say "thank god i read the book". Well, since they cut the show into two parts, its pretty much a good show this time, all the expected parts were there, and the actors did a pretty amazing job.

And yes, teh most important reason why the show is wonderful, Tom Felton!!! yeah!! finally, he has more scenes compared to the previous shows!! oh come on, he's so dreamy, good looking, and don't you just take pity on Draco Malfoy?? a young teenager that ends up in this mess up world because of his parents?? XD Although he doesn't has many lines, but still, just being able to watch him appear on big screen like so.... ITS FANTASTIC!!! 

Tina's sleeping over at my place tonite because she has to work early tmr. yea, 5.45am!! who the hell works at that time?? (she does..) so gaven up my bed for her till 6am. I'm gonna sleep at 6am. Actually, i usually sleep at 6am don't I? Whenever there's no classes the next day.. XD

Watch the show!! watch the show!! XD Now i can't wait for part 2... "Curse you for being so good harry potter! Curse you!!" (seems like i'm cursing every show no matter how good or bad it is... XD)

You're A Good Man Charlie Brown

"You're a Good Man Charlie Brown"... So what if charlie brown is this unlucky guy that can't never fly a kite or can't manage to get the "little red hair girls" attention? Charlie Brown is this 5 year old kid that just doesn't gives up. He's kind heart-ed, loving, caring, and owns the worlds coolest dog... SNOOPY!!!

This musical manages to send out a msg that happiness, is just what you think it is. It might just as simple as tie-ing your shoes, or it may be as complicated as love. It might be your first car, or just your first walking step. No matter what it is, happiness is always around you and you just change your perspective, or as we say "point of view". "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" contains joyful, yet meaning songs in its musical. A dash of laughter with a pinch a love. This is one good revival that Broadway manged to bring back. The animated version is even lovely as the voices are much closer to 5 year old kids comparing to Broadway, which characters are mostly played by "grown" people. Anyway how, both are interesting to watch and listen to.

We all know the song "home on the range".. i mean, for heaven sakes we've been forced to sing it in kindergarten, but just look at how these guys make the song so interesting! Lovely!!



Here is one of the songs which the original and animated version doesn't contain. "My new Philosophy" (the other song is "Beethoven Day")sung by the lovely Christine Chenoweth.



Aww.. isn't Christine the best singer you've ever heard?? Just love her and how her voice and sound like a 5 year old!!! Congratulations on winning her first tony with this musical as well!! GO Christine!!

Snoopy the musical

FINALLY!!! the last project of PDE2 has ended. Not feeling really secure about Jude's remarks... I mean, she's just like Simon Cowell! Can't she just digs up every fail point you have! SERIOUSLY!!! just lk simon! even if its a small point she just... well complains!! i mean come on' there's no good point from her once you blow up one small part. Feel so damn bad about it! Now i really m hopping to pass this sub. i don wanna see her face ever again!!! And did i hear her mocking my name???!!!! she better not be.... 

Anyway forget about that, let's just see the musical for the day shall we?? Well i didn't know what songs should i listen to, so i went on searching for my all time favorite cartoon, SNOOPY!!!! u know, the beagle with the "BIG NOSE" who's black n white and always just sleeps on his dog house's roof?? Yup, that's him! And so, was searching for a good song to hear, till i stumble upon this.



This song really means alot. If just one person believes in you, there's bound to be someone else who's there for you as well. That's why you have friends and family, who will always be right there for you whenever you need them. You can't say that no one believes in you, cause if you trust yourself, that one person will surely lead to a second... and a third.. and a fourth... and so on....

Snoopy the musical contains a whole lot more of songs which are not only meaningful but funny too. Its been brought onto broadway and west end in London. I personally think the cartoon version is WAY MUCH more better as i just don't like seeing my snoopy being portraited by a human be-ing! But overall its a nice one.

There's another musical version of snoopy called "You're a good man charlie brown" which was done back in the 80's and revived on Broadway in 1999 where anthony rap(from rent) and Christine Chenoweth (from wicked) were in the show. That i'm gonna talk more on my next blog. enjoy the song guys! XD
