Something Is Wrong With ME!!!

Incident 1
I've a habit to make hot drink every morning. As usual I scoop milo into my cup today and get hot water pour into my cup. The next second only I realise I'm opening tap water into my cup. Oh, Shit!

Incident 2
I went into a lift at level 1 and wanted to go up. I pressed the level button and the door closed gradually. However, the lift didn't go up at all, the ventilator stopped functioning as well. Oh my, don't tell me the lift has brokedown! I took out my handphone and about to call for help, I thought why don't I try to press the open button first.

Surprisingly, the open button still functioning and the door opened. I went into the lift and press the button again, same thing happened. I was confused why only the open button is functioning. I checked the level button also didn't light up when I pressed, I guessed something is wrong with this button.

Suddenly, a blink of light flash in my mind, I noticed that I'm actually pressing the level 1 button instead of the level I wanted to go. What the?!!!!!

2 Months ...

I have not updated my blog for almost 2 months simply because I was bogged down with a lot things but sometimes is because the lazy bugs sting kin me also, so ... =P

However, time just fly without waiting for us and a lot things have happened within these 2 months. Friends are also leaving the Miao Miao town for their future undertaking ... sob ... sob ... T__T (Nevermind, then I have reason to fly over maa~ [whistle] make sure you girls reserve a space for me to squeeze .\/.)

Anyway, I hope to update my blog more often (at least not once in two months >..<) and I really really hope to catch up with fellow bloggers out there. I guess I must have missed out a lot of your postings.

Got Scare No Danger 有惊无险

It's late night, we're at our room and it's almost time to go to bed. Suddenly, the fire alarm broke the quietness. First thing flashed into my mind, 'Got fire mer?' then I opened the door. Waaa ~ really got smoke at the other end of the corridor, shock man =O

I quickly called the receptionist to find out what's happening. He told me that their maintenance team already looked into the problem and advised me to stay in the room. If anything happened, he will call to our room again.

After put down the phone, I went out to check the condition again. This time the smoke got thicker and I can even smell the kerosine. Without a second thought, I quickly went back to my room and packed all my essential belongings. Well, in case anything happen I'm ready to chiong maa ~ (kia si maa ~)

At that very moment, I was wondering if I should walk down the staircase. Come on, I'm staying at floor 11th laa, grrr.... As I still quite worry about the situation, I called the receptionist again. Still he advised me to stay inside the room. =\ After a while, the smoke was gone and the alarm also stopped ringing. I assumed everything was fine.

This morning I checked with the receptionist again, the reason given was they were doing fogging last night (doing fogging at floor 11th, so desu ~) and forgot to turn off the fire alarm =___= ewww ~

A Moody Day

What A Hot Hot Day!!!

So Near And Yet So Far

I feel very bei gam guan now. Why? Simply because we can't get into the Spring just now. (except those eatery place like Kenny Roger and Secret Recipe) =..=


The entrances were blocked, we only get the chance to stand outside of the main entrance. =\

We saw a lot of people strolling inside, carrying a lot of goodies bags, Esprit especially, big to small and some even using a trolley. T___T

But, why we can't go in? Because we are too late? Whyyyy? Whyyyy? Whyyyy? It's only 8PM++ waa ~ =(

Why Me Again?!?

Whisper: Thanks to Sugar who has borrowed her member card to us

---

After reading the Sushi King updates from Jimmy and Apple, I can't wait anymore!!! Me and Oocean had our lunch at Sushi King today.


The traffic wasn't jam like over the weekend, no long queue at Sushi King also. This is just nice for us who have only one hour lunch break.



After we had placed our orders, we started to aim the sushi on the revolving conveyor belt. We picked a few plates and put on our table. And, as usual, it's time for shotting photos!



Halfway through, I heard a lady voice "Sorry miss, you are not allowed to take pictures here" and bla ... and bla ... and bla bla bla ... =..=

Erghhhh......why me again?!? Why I always being stop from taking photos one? Why? Why? Why? Tell me why?!?

A Gift From Far Far Away

I'm so damn happy today as I received a gift that was delivered from far far away. It was a box of imported chocolates, muahahahahah!


Furthermore, it has 14 variations of chocolates, including my favourite caramel and hazelnut, lovely!

Another Shopping Membership Registration -.-

I still remember the very first time I went to Sibu, I was brought to Ta Kiong Emporium which selling a lots of imported goods. During that time, there are not many shops in Kuching selling imported goods, so everytime when we travelled to Sibu, we will never miss out any single chance to go Ta Kiong.

Queue up for registration

And soon, Ta Kiong will open its branch in Kuching soon. If you notice the tenant list at The Spring website, Ta Kiong Supermarket is one of them.

Application form of Lotus card

Today, Ta Kiong launched their Lotus card. (refer to my previous post, another one to suck your money before they open their supermarket -.-) Again, the registration fee is RM10 and you need to renew it yearly in order to enjoy the so called privileges and benefits. If you registration now, they are giving away 100 points and a glass. Besides, if you have refered to someone else, they will credit another 20 points to your account.

Free gift from Ta Kiong upon registration

So umm...you see the glass in the picture and you know what happened laa [shut up =X] ~~>..<~~

25.12.2007

Whisper: Big thanks to Kenopi for being my photographer of the day, muaks!!

25th December 2007, a special and important moment of my life, which symbolise my new life in Christ also.


Yep, is my baptism day!!!

Choir rehearsal

I wake up pretty early and get dressed on that day, amazing!


I reached my church quite early also as the first session of Christmas mass has just finished. For us who were getting to be baptised, were arranged to sit at the very first row.

Choir performance

With the blessing from God, the baptism was carried out smoothly. Later, each one of us was given a certificate of baptism and a souvenior (is a book for new believer, I haven't finished reading it yet).

My turn

Lastly, I am grateful that God never gave up on me but continue to lead me along.

Receiving certificate and souvenir

Boulevard Shopping Complex

I went for a stroll at Boulevard few days after its opening. I can still see a massive jam along Jalan Datuk Tawi Sili. I can even see cars parked at the residential area near Seng Goon Garden, oh my!

Jam, jam, jam!!!

However, I didn't see it very jam at the basement car park, wonder why is it so?

Lobby

I can see there are a lot of shops still under renovation, only a few retailers have started their business. And yet the place is so congested, wonder why is it so?


There's a rounded counter at the lobby which I guess is the information counter, but I didn't see any labelling nor sign board. Besides, I don't see any directory floor plan also, too small to have it [shutup =X]? Or, not ready yet? I have a feeling they are very eager to open the Boulevard and thus very rush, wonder why is it so?

Ice cream bar to be? Information Counter?

Anyway, I believe Kuching people deserves some new places to shop and hang out, not just limited to a few of shopping complexes we have now. Agree?

Bread house by Fujisan

And, I hope there're more shops open when I visit to Boulevard again. I have yet to use my membership card laa!!!

Construction still in progress

Christmas Carolling Parade 2007

Whisper: Most of participants park their cars at the parking space near Jubilee Ground during the procession. Unfortunately, some cars tyres were get stolen, sigh! sigh! sigh!

---

I guess this is the first time I walk for so long distance in Kuching (excluding shopping). Kenopi and I had joined the 1st Christmas Carolling Parade organised by Methodist Church in Kuching last Saturday. We were told to assemble at Jubilee Ground by 5:30 PM.

People mountain people sea

By the time I reached there, it was quite crowded already. All the participants were grouped according to their churches.

The angels

We saw everyone was so busy to get ready for the procession. I didn't realise that we have to hold so many things in our hands, balloon, candle, lyrics ... and ... and ... I want to take photo gok ler ... eww ... imagine how busy I'm =P

We had prayer before the procession started. Then, we lit our candle and start moving. Before we walked too far, most of us started to adjust our candle liao. Due to the heat, our plastic containers started to melt. At the end of the procession, most of our containers were out of shape. Could be the candles given to us are too big?

God blessed that the weather was pretty good thorough the procession, except a drizzling rain when we were close to the end point. However, that doesn't stop us from moving on.

Afterthat, we have prize giving ceremony and thanksgiving prayer before we dismissed.

Boulevard Fever =P

As what I mentioned before, the traffic at 4 1/2 th miles gets relatively jam when it's closer to the open date of Boulevard. I dare to say, most Kuchians are awaiting for Boulevard and the Spring to open, soon you'll see the Spring fever. =P

Front View of Boulevard

I passed by that area quitely often lately, so much just to see if the Boulevard is open, crazy...crazy!!!

Basement car park

I went there again this afternoon, heard they have soft opening the day before. It's quited crowded when I reach there, seeing people queueing up here and there.

Basement entrance

However, nothing much yet laa, they just open for public to register for the Boulevard family card and purchase selected items. The hypermarket will only open by tomorrow (22nd December 2008) and other retailers will open later.

See it??! Boulevard OPENS tomorrow, 22th December 2008

And, I would say they are so brilliant in a way they suck your money even before their hypermarket open. How? Why? The registration of Boulevard Family Card cost you RM10 per membership and RM5 for a supplimentary card. Got what I mean??

Boulevard Family Card application form

There goes my RM10..... ~~~>..<~~~ (they better have some good rewards, otherwise, herm! herm! herm!)

This Year Christmas Is Gonna Be A Special One

Whisper: Various sources say that Boulevard is going to open tomorrow, as a typical Kuchian, my instinct tells me that area will be crowded, so, beware of the traffic there [whistle]

---

Christmas atmosphere in Kuching is always rather quite except some commercials effects from the Christmas sales. However, for me, this year is going to be a special one. Why?

Firstly, I'll be baptised on this coming Christmas. ^___^

******

Secondly, there'll be a Christmas Carolling Parade this coming Saturday (22nd December 2007) evening, organised by Methodist Church in Kuching. After living in Kuching for 20s year, this is the first Christmas parade in town, OMG! (I know every year there will be Christmas parade in Sibu and I seen it when I was in Sibu that time)

Route: Millennium Stadium ---> HSBC roundabout ---> Padungan ---> Jalan Tun Abdul Rahim (Waterfront) ---> Harbour View Hotel ---> Lebuh Wayang ---> Jalan Tun Abdul Rahim (Waterfront) ---> Sarawak Plaza ---> Song Thian Chok Road ---> Ban Hock Road ---> HSBC roundabout ---> Millennium Stadium

*****


Thirdly, there'll be a Christmas Celebrations near the Friendship Garden at Jalan Song.

Venue: Friendship Garden, Jalan Song

Oh, I love Christmas!!! ~~~~~

Me . Flood

Today, I believe one of the hottest news in town would be the flood happens in Sibu town areas, Song, Kanowit, Julau and other surrounding areas. This has brought me back to year 2004 when there's also a severe flood in Sibu. I'll never forget this in my life time!

I'm a typical Kuching girl, I originate from Kuching and I grew up in Kuching. I hardly remember any flood in my life until I joined my current company, in which, I was stationed in Sibu for few months. The flood hit the town during Chinese New Year 2004 and I WAS THERE!!!!!

When I read the news this morning, I know how terrible the situation as I experienced it before. It's really really really terrible, horrible, awful, inconvenient, .etc (name all you can >..<). I never feel so terrified and had sleepless night on my bed.

I still remember there's one night, my roomates and I, apart from keeping an eye on the water level, we packed all of our belongings in middle of the night and moved all the luggages onto our beds (as we stay at the ground floor of a hostel).

On the next day, the water level increased and our hostel appeared to be an isolated island surrounded by water. In order not to starve to death, by hook or by crook we had to walk out to get some food and drinks.

The water level was up to our knees, we don't have any sampan, nor any Phua Chu Kang boots at that point of time. So, how are we going to walk pass the water and get to the main road ler?

We wrapped our feet with plastic bags, like this lor!!!

Darn it, the most exotic shoes I ever wear!!!

That's not all about it, after the flood was over, the worms, rubbish and muds are everywhere! It's so awful, very dirty and smelly! There's even a big spider at our hostel, someone knows this better!!! [whistle]

Dazzling Christmas Trees In Singapore

Whisper: Why are the Christmas trees in Singapore all so high one?

---

Christmas tree is one of the popular traditions associated with the celebration of Christmas. It is normally put up few weeks before Christmas and taken down after the festival.

A Christmas tree in front of Plaza Singapura

In terms of the materials, most people nowadays use artificial tree and decorate it with lights and colourful ornaments. A star can always be found at the top of the tree, so as to represent the star of Bethlehem.

A pinkish Christmas in front of The Cathay building.

Every year, there are special Christmas lights up in Singapore and millions of Christmas trees are put up for the celebration, particularly shopping district like Orchard Road and Marina Bay areas.

Skypark at Vivocity

During my recent trip to Singapore, the Christmas lights up has just started. It is very fascinating and I couldn't help myself, rather appear to be very 'siaw' to capture every Christmas tree I saw. *___*

Christmas tree near Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City

The most "WOWWWW! O.O" Christmas tree I have seen is the few storeys high Christmas tree in side Ngee Ann City building. I guess it must take a lot of effort to put up this Christmas tree.

Another Christmas tree that caught my attention is the rotating Christmas tree somewhere near Orchard Road.

Euro Friday Buffet Dinner, Crowne Plaza

Gift certificates from Crowne Plaza

Few months ago, I joined a lucky draw contest during the Circle of Armour event. And that has won me two complimentary Euro Friday Buffet Dinner at Crowne Plaza. =D

Lately, I went to redeem my gift certificate before it expired. Euro Friday Buffet Dinner is served at Cafe Majestic every Friday. As denoted by its name, there are a variety of specialities from across Europe and Western desserts. =)

As this meal is free, I do not want to comment much about the food, but I just want to say there's room to improve in their food. =\

Birthday Cake Baaa ~ =..=

This morning Oocean and YY them said want to pre-celebrate birthday with me and Kenopi . So I went to meet up with them just now at Jalan Song (sorry, I was late). After eating all the heaven food, Oocean took out 2 cake boxes, one for me, one for Kenopi. "Yes, got birthday cake to eat!" I whispered inside my heart.

I then opened up the box. Heck, I saw only this!

Seems like somebody didn't digest pretty well, still got tiny pinkish and greenish thing...tsk..tsk..tsk

You just didn't see my expression, I was like O..O "Har?!", "What's this?!!!"... huhuhuh....

Then, I know it must be Oocean ... =..= ...

Later, she took out another cake which is more appealing compare to the previous one, herm ~ herm ~ got Mashimaro de ~~~ ^___^



Thanks for the food and cakes, guys! Muak! Muak! Muak!
