Kek Lok Si 2009

February 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s about time!

I’ve talked about updating for the millionth time but I didn’t get to sit down and actually do it. My friend called me and said that she felt distant coz she didn’t know anything about me now that I didn’t blog haha. So here I am…….

I downloaded all my photos from the camera and didn’t know where to start. The photos started from mid of Dec until now and I realized I haven’t blogged on any of them and I didn’t know where to begin.

Let’s do Kek Lok Si first shall we?

dsc_7888-copy

#1 The lightings in one of the tower in KekLokSi.

Every Chinese New Year, Kek Lok Si had all these light decorations that lasted for 15 days until Chap Goh Meh. We showed up for photos almost every year, taken at same spots. Few more years I’ll collect these photos and do an album of our different looks different dressing same spot. Should be pretty fun heh.

We went on Saturday after dinner which is freaking crowded! It’s jammed all the way up so we parked our car at the very bottom of the hill and climbed up. We suck coz we didn’t know there’s a proper stairs that lead up to Kek Lok Si. Instead we followed the main road which like real hiking wtf tsk

dsc_5904-copy

#2 1st official photo in Kek Lok Si staircase. Every 3 steps we took a photo haha pity Joe.

dsc_5905-copy

#3 This photo is up just because Shu looks extremely happy to be there haha.

dsc_5906-copy

#4 Same stairs tsk. We haven’t progressed.

dsc_5910-copy

#5 oh finally we’re done with the stairs and we’re up at another tower.

dsc_5911-copy

#6 Nice right the lighting? I’m quite impressed lah

dsc_5914-copy

#7 this photo supposed to be very ncie wan lor. but poor lighting plus all the people walking pass us tsk. and…….a bit too FAR. You can barely see me unless you click on the photo and see the larger version wtf.

dsc_5917-copy

#8 I wonder how much they spent for every single tang lung up there.

dsc_5925-copy

#9 I’m being a bitch laughing at Pey coz she squat down and totally being covered by the flower. coz she’s short haha.

dsc_5926-copy

#10 End up I’m the short one =( and look at Vsoon  don’t know doing what.

dsc_5929-copy

#11 Nothing special. Don’t know why we take photos also.

dsc_5933-copy

#12 This is not the highest point but it overlooks the other towers down there. There’s another Guan Yin statue up the hill which we didn’t go. So i guess this is the highest for us.

dsc_5940-copy

#13 Everyone looks nice except Shu has 1 huge black thing sticking out from her.

dsc_5942-copy

#14 Kevin’s signature pose. There’s a pumpkin farm right next to this place. But we didn’t take photo coz it’s too dark. The pumpkin looks fake so I wanted to take 1 down and verify but they write “RM200 fine” if you do that. It’s all SCAM! so nobody knows they’re fake.

dsc_7871-copy

#15 My retarded photo. Everyone looks fine and dandy. yah except me.

dsc_7887-copy

#16 Okay 1 last one. I lazy to upload photos already.

Overall we had a blast even though it means having to hike up and all that shit. It’s CNY WHO CARES right it’s all about joining in the fun anyway. I lit a candle which costs me RM38 for my dad and I had to write mandarin the paper wah damn tough so I went to look at other people;s candle and copy the words wtf i only changed their name to my dad’s name which i have difficulty writing also.

And then…

all of us went home and changed to go club haha. That’s for another entry.

My CNY is crazy fun. What about yours?

me_alice

#5 Alice and Me outside the hall. Both in simple blue. The beauty of style, harmony, grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity =)

We had to register for the event so they could gather the total headcount and book the tables. Me? I did not bother to register. No i’m kidding. Actually I missed the email and I didn’t even know there’s such thing as registration. SO when I reach there, the admin asked those who did not register (including Kevin Leong) to be quarantined in a room haha. Seriously they asked us to stay in a room until they get a table for us. There’re like almost 30+ who did nto register I guess. But Kevin say don’t care, just go in. And so I followed him in. =) We’re ah beng like that wtf

me_kevin_outsidehall

#6 This is the ah Beng Kevin with his signature ah beng pose.

david

#28 Ladies & Gentleman, let me present you a very UGLY photo of Me and Mr Dave. But I decided to post it up anyhow in loving memory of our 11 years friendship. YES 11 YEARS WTF HOW MANY OF YOU CAN BE FRIENDS FOR 11 YEARS WTF ya right wtf haha I would look for him for a photo everytime we have dinner but my friend here decided to fong me fei kei last year because he became very sombong of his new gf and forgot all about me /boo.

committee

#31 The committee who wanted to quarantine me.

best-dressed

#32 The best dressed boy and girl of the night. The theme of the night is Hollywood Night and we’re supposed to dress as Hollywood stars. Sort of like Halloween. So Jensen dressed up as Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. I think he’s the only who actually dress up so he really deserve the award. The girl in red…well…….when asked who she dressed up as, she said as herself. We’re not even sure how the winners are picked actually. No nominees. No voting. No catwalks.

#36 Me busy on the phone scolding FatBoySlim because he’s still not in Segas even after half an hour. Turns out he went back to Bayan Lepas which is half an hour away from Segas to drop some of our colleagues back before he drive back up to Segas to meet us. -_-” So we told him to save it and go home and sleep instead.

sega2

#37 My male stripper colleague who loves to unbutton his shirt and my Hawaian boss. sorry I mean EX boss.

How Are You?

December 3, 2008 · 3 Comments

Ah I’ve been so busy I barely have time to sit down and write. Last weekend is FUN! Tiring of course but fun nonetheless. Almost everyday I only get to sleep way past midnight and yesterday I just fell on the bed at 9 at night and slept through the night until 9 in the morning!

Well, not really. Someone called me at 10.30pm and after I hung up, I took almost 2 hours to go back to sleep. /boo. How are you going to repay me huh?

I have 100000000001 photos that are waiting to be uploaded and blogged but…I’m a total sloth.

ANYWAYYYYYYYYY Life’s been treating me real good! So good that even my FAVOURITE restaurant is opening 5 minutes from where I live. Okay maybe not 5 minutes but if i go at 100 miles/hr I might be able to make the 5 happen.

pinkruffles

The other day when I was driving, it was GREEN light ALL the way and I was so happy I kept smiling and kept saying green green green green wtf damn annoying. VSoon felt so weird that I’m so happy because it’s such insignificant thing.

picture-054

I’m so easily pleased now that even if you give me my least favourite blueberry muffin  I’d still like it. Speaking of which, I haven’t even had the chance to drop by Bisou Cupcakes for god’s sake.

I love that full length mirror but too bad the lighting is way beyond bearable.

picture-065

My room is so messy it’s crazy..It’s like a freaking kem tahanan.

The last jeans I bought is 4 years ago. At that time I bought a 27 inch waist jeans haha I know I know I’m plump but in my defense, I’m cuter that time HAHA. Okay anyway Last week I went to buy new jeans. GUESS WHAT I can fit perfectly into a 24 inch jeans. BWAHAAHAHAHA.

redribbon

Notice the red ribbon on me. They glued it on me as it’s World AIDS Day and its their way of telling me that they’re not discriminating me wtf.

I have an amazingly good appetite lately I eat so much it can last me for half a year. No kidding. I kept them inside me like camel wtf. But I just weigh myself and I lose another kg and I really don’t know how I do that. Like I say,

LIFES BEEN TREATING ME REAL GOOD!

**update: Nick did an awesome job of the disappearing act. 

**end update

***********

I flew back to Penang and went back to office and pack.

cubicletag

#1 My office cubicle’s name tag with the lantern from WEFT Mooncake decoration.

I found a lot of rubbish when I was packing the cube and threw everything away. 

I initially had a full complete photo of myself in the empty cube. But my friend took my photo and edited it to be like this. According to her “I’m trying to make it look like you’re disappearing cause you’re no longer going to be there

cube

#2 A very failed photoshop result to show me disappearing from the cubicle lol

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL all I can say is GIRL, YOUR PHOTOSHOP SKILL IS AS BAD AS MINE.

Then I spent the rest of my last day in Kevin’s cube. I probably wouldn’t see him in cube anymore anyways.

kevin

#3 Kevin in his cube with his retarded peace sign.

You know what I miss the most?

office-copy

#4 Level 1 female toilet full length mirror.

Sigh.

When I was in PG 12 the other day, I walked into that aisle..that aisle that was once filled with thunderous laughters, loud chatting, dirty jokes, foul languages thrown from cube to cube…the aisle that was once named as “Chi Cheong Kai”. Our CCK is now crowded with unfamiliar faces, quiet and solemn environment, with people concentrating on their own work.  

Suddenly I miss everything.

I miss walking back from the pantry and toilet to the 1st cube. Porny’s cube where I will stop by. Few cubes down is FatBoySlim’s on the right and Joe on the left. Mine is next to Joe’s and right opposite mine is Kevin’s. 1 more cube down the aisle is Pey’s on the right and Eric on the left. Few cubes down is Kar Foo on the right and then at the end of the aisle is Jes on the right and KokWei on the left.

I miss our noisy aisle. I miss looking opposite and throwing paper darts at Kevin. I miss hearing Eric’s loud broken Malaysian English. I miss Pey’s clean cube next to mine. I miss eating snacks in FatBoy’s cube. I miss the loud thuds of Jes’s heels as she walked past my cube. I miss all the loud laughters. I miss the never ending gossiping and hanging out. The 9 hours in office seem so short and easy.

Don’t we all miss all those young innocent days? When you’re still you and I’m still me.

me

#5 Me being vain.

As I walk further down the aisle, I know things have changed. And they will never go back to the way it was again. 

Suddenly, I miss that office. That cubicle.

**********

Found these sets of photos sitting in PC. It’s way back in what…September! during Porny’s wedding.

#6 Shu Pey Me Junn HY FatBoySlim Kevin during the pre wedding buffet dinner.

There’s always something about receiving parcels…….. Parcels and surprises make my day =)

Down South.

October 7, 2008 · 4 Comments

Do you know what is bliss?

It’s waking up at 10 on a Monday morning without being awaken by the alarm clock. Stretched and jumped out of bed. Peeked out the window curtain to the rain splattering down the window in drops. Slipped back under the duvet because it’s sooo cold.

That is bliss. Not having to work is bliss =)

But that bliss only lasted for 5 minutes because I need to get out of the house to do my identification card and the new credit cards.

**********

Here’s another set of outdated photos. I kept feeding you guys with outdated photos sigh. I don’t really have the time to download the photos and blog about them. The only free time I have is when I have to shit. That also maybe only once a week like that I’m constipated haha.

The guys took leave and followed me back south. Left at 6.30am I nearly died because I slept at 5am the night before.

#1 Me sound asleep in the car even before we reach Juru toll haha.

We dropped by Malacca before Sgt.

You know what the stupid thing is?

We got lost on the way to Malacca because we’re supposed to head to Johor Bahru after Tampin toll but we drove towards Kuala Lumpur so we’re actually going to the opposite direction sigh why like that! I go to Malacca since I’m 6 like that also I can sesat T_T

Kevin: I’m sure is Johor Bahru. I always send Mei from Tampin to Melaka i’m SURE.

VSoon: I’m sure. I grew up here. I wanna bet RM200 it’s Kuala Lumpur! (shouting at Kevin)

Me: Not Johor Bahru. Not Kuala Lumpur also. -_-” (basically talking rubbish)

FatBoySlim: I think trust VSoon la go KL. I wanna bet on top for RM50 too.

End up, Kevin head to KL and found out it’s wrong so we exited PedasLinggi toll ehehe. We took 2.5 hours to reach Malacca which should be 1 hour 20 mins. But don’t know where the RM200 and RM50 went??

Right after we reach we went to Makko for lunch. I had Makko since I was a kid and never miss dropping by everytime we go to Malacca.

#2 We ordered Rendang Chicken, Sambal Tumis Sotong, Otak-otak, Satay Tofu and Vege. 2 thumbs up yummy! 

#3 My very fat friend who finished 3 bowls of rice everytime.

#4 I bought 2 very big packets of keropok made out of potato.

We called up YYY after lunch, met up with him so he could be our tour guide then we don’t have to depend on the map.

First stop: The Stadhuys. The official residence of Dutch Governer in 1650. 

#5 Kevin, Moi, YYY and VSoon in front of Stadhuys. 

#6 Me in front of Christ Church built in 1753.

#7 YYY, Moi and Kevin in front of the water fountain right in the middle of T.S. There’re a lot of people around watching the guy with the big fat yellow snake. 

2nd stop: St. Paul’s Church right on top of St. Paul hill. It used to be a prayer house of the Portugese Catholics, then turned into Dutch burial ground. We climbed up the hill. Lucky us the weather is super good that day, windy and no sun at all. Otherwise you’ll see me with umbrella and sun block heheh.

#8 View on top of St. Paul hill.

#9 St Paul Church.

#10 Kevin and Me with the tombstones? with Latin and Portugese inscription.

#11 Joan spotted!

3rd Stop: A’Famosa fortress built by the Portugese and severely damaged by the Dutch invasion.

#13 FatBoySlim, Kev, Me, YYY, Vsoon in front of A’Famosa.

4th Stop: The once big drain behind the houses where people shit into which is turned into a nicer river with boats that you can take round the place.

#14 Venice? haha far from that. Just some Malacca longkang belakang.

#15 FatBoySlim, Me, Kev, YYY in some hut next to the “river”.

#16 Me snapping away while the rest of them figuring out where the place to board the boat is.

#17 We shouted over to the people in the boat to ask them where they board the boat. They pointed to the right and shouted back “the place where they sell congee”.

#18 One last photo before we drive over to the congee place.

#19 Me.

The guys at the congee place said the place to board the boat is 5 minutes walk down the road at the Shell station. So we decided to walk over.

#20 We took almost 20 photos while walking over to the Shell station. We said the view is good, but truth is we needed to rest because everyone is tired haha. The 5minutes feels like half an hour no kidding.

#21 Kev with his signature pose. Can’t you tell he totally spoilt my photo@??!!@@!!$#$%^@#

#22 Us trying to molest Kevin. DID U SEE THAT? His PINK COLOUR Renoma wtf where got guy wear pink colour bah. I told him if a guy took off his pants and I see pink colour renoma I’d totally lose my appetite and whatever mood and ask him to wear back the pants wtf.

In the end, we didn’t get to take the boat because the next boat is 8pm and it’s 1+ hour away. So we walked back which is another half an hour T__T We decided to come back here later at night because we’re all dying to take the boat haha I don’t know why.

5th Stop: Jonker Walk. The once richman street, a living proof of Baba Nyonya rich heritage.

#23 We laughed at those people who were queuing for the famous chicken rice ball. The queue is so long it appeared in newspaper.

#24 Jonker Walk entrance.

#25 The very famous Cendol place in Jonker Walk.

#26 Kev bought some deep fried food while we’re waiting for Cendol because it was a long queue.

#27 Told you the queue is long.

#28 YUMMMMYYYYYYYY the Gula Melaka is so good!

#29 YYY and Kev with Cendol and Lo Han Guo at the side of Jonker street.

#30 A obviously very happy me.

6th Stop: Cheng Hoon Teng temple built in 1645 believed to be the oldest Chinese temple in the country.

#31 Us in front of the temple.

#32 Full frontal.

#33 All the photos I took is like that. It’s like I’m shining when I’m in the temple haha.

#34 The back part of the temple is divided into separate stalls. Believe it or not, it’s exactly the way I dreamt it to be a week back. Seriously TRUST ME I dreamt it before I even visited it!!! Err is god trying to tell me something huh can He give me 4 numbers the next time instead huh

7th Stop: Sate Celup. Nobody should miss sate celup. 

#35 The sate. They never change the sate in between customers. Erm. Let’s not think about double dipping.

#36 We didn’t eat a lot. Only 64 bucks!

8th Stop: Geographer in Jonker Walk.

#37 Geographer right in the mid of Jonker. Nice crowded place with people playing on the keyboard singing away, people dancing and clapping.

#40 Few last cocktails before we call it a night.

#41 Christ Church at night on our way back to the hotel.

8th Stop: Fenix Inn. The place we stayed in which is right next to Dataran Pahlawan. Almost 110 bucks per night but luckily the place is new so everything is clean. No complaints.

#42 The deluxe room which I had to unwillingly share with Kev. I had to draw the line on the floor with chalk so he won’t invade my territory.

#43 Last one before I sleep. Good Night!!!

I slept at almost 1 and we agreed to meet up at 11am. Stupid Kevin set his alarm clock at 9am. WHY TELL ME WHY HE SET IT 2 HOURS EARLIER??!!! He need to makeup and do his hair is it. So end up I lose 1.5 hours sleep @#$#^%@#$@%

#44 Before I check out.

#45 Hotel lobby.

#46 Waiting for YYY. 3 more kgs and the fat yellow guy in the middle would look like Buddha.

9th Stop: Famous Chicken Rice ball at Jonker Walk. We had to go at 11 in the morning to avoid queuing up later.

#47 Kev and Me in the shop waiting impatiently while YYY go park his car.

#48 The super famous rice. *slurp*

#49 Me before I leave the place. See people start queuing already.

10th Stop: Dataran Pahlawan. New shopping mall in Malacca.

#50 Me waiting for Kevin to try out his shirt.

So have you guys heard of Big Apple Donut? Everytime I pass by the shop I see almost 30 people lining up and I also heard a lot of people say it’s very very nice hence it’s all worth the queue. Dataran Pahlawan has a Big Apple chain so I decided to try it out to see what all the hoo haa is about.

#51 Donuts donuts and donuts!

#52 Go Nutz, Whitnut, The Alien, Say Cheese, Choreo. The other one forgot the name oredy.

Spice Market, and a quickie breakie.

September 24, 2008 · 4 Comments

Tonight I took a break from all the hustle bustle and went for buffet dinner in Spice Market Rasa Sayang.

I didn’t take any photos of the food because…….I don’t have a camera. YA I KNOW you must be asking why la for 6 months I lost my camera charger in Santa Clara why I haven’t get a new one. I also don’t know why haha. No money la I think.

#1 Kevin and Vsoon at the entrance.

Food’s okay. Choice is pretty limited though but for every single dish, it’s pretty good. For me, I only took like a couple of pieces of chicken in whatever flavour I can find, a bit of Fried Rice, 2 Chicken Satay then whoala…..I’m full! Ya i know wasted la 80 bucks like that but what to do.

We took a walk all around Rasa Sayang hotel. It’s like my first time visiting since it was renovated 2 years ago. The night’s pretty warm though I can hear the waves but I can’t feel the sea breeze. Makes me want to jump into the sea straightaway. I miss midnight sea swimming!!!!!!!!! I used to do that so often back in Johor ya what do you know damn fun okay if you think there’s sea ghost then please la no such thing.

#2 Me in front of some hotel deco.

#3 Kevin and moi in front of some hotel deco again during the stroll around the whole hotel.

#4 Me with a….golden tree? in hotel second lounge

#5 I accidentally discovered JiaYang is gay.

#6 JiaYang, Kevin and VSoon. The fat yellow guy in the middle used to weigh 40kg. Look what 3 years can do to a person.

The long drive to the hotel is horrible. But it was all worth it though. I love the beach!!!..at least until I discovered how much I hate the sun more haha. So i suggested to the guys that we should do some beach picnic and go swimming maybe next week and everyone IGNORED me…until I say I’m going to wear bikini then they say OKOK SURE NO PROBLEM WHEN

-_-”

#7 Me entertaining myself while VSoon checking whether his pears are still fresh.

And do you all miss my shameless camwhore photos haha

#8 nah give you one.

Not enough?

#9 nah last one.

If you’re wondering why I’m so free blogging and posting photos then NO! I’m not wasting time. I’m just doing it because I’m giving myself a 5 minutes break from whatever I’m doing before I continue.

Oh before I logoff, next week I’m having farewell dinner with everyone =( So sad. But I have hometown to look forward to, and then trips trips and more trips?

Ok..now I have to continue whatever I was doing just now haha. OkThxBye.

BUSY

haha that explains all.

i barely have time to sit down and shit. No, i barely have time to even fart. So many things to do before end of september. I have to sit for the paper. I have to complete all the remaining work and do my work passdown to the new guy before I leave.  Then I have to pack my cube. Then I’m going down to Malacca a few days with a couple of friends before I head back to Sgt. 

Phewww…Then i’ll have some more time to blog and post more decent photos.

Before that, let me give you another set of BACKDATED photos which have extremely bad quality haha. Sorry me no camera!

Mooncake Festival. I couldn’t go home so a few of us who stayed back in the Island gathered and did a barbeque. It was sort of a last minute decision. We just went for lunch in Secret Recipe and went to Jusco and grab everything in like less than 30 minutes. 

chicken wing, sausage, meatball, chickenball, meatball, ham, honey bbq marinade sauce, butter, longan, the grill, barbeque skewers, charcoal, paper cups and plates, ice.

phewwww….that’s a lot to get in less than an hour.

We had a hard time setting up the fire cause the wind is unbelievably BIG.

I didn’t do anything actually. I just stood at the side and watch.

My job is supposed to stand at the side and block the wind. But i failed terribly haha.

The first batch of food. hmph. Doesn’t look really good at all. We were so hungry everyone try to fit as many sausages as we could on 1 skewer hahaha SUPER KIASU can!

And in the end we discovered that by wrapping all the chicken wings into the aluminium foil and throwing it in the grill is a lot easier because we don’t have to hold the skewer and stand there. Besides it taste better too!

All of us gathered around while VSoon tried to unwrap the foil. Waiting impatiently to see the end result eheh.

Everyone is happy with our great discovery!

Lucky us the weather was just nice because it drizzled a bit and it was pretty cooling. Shu bought a few lanterns which we tried to light up and hang all around. 

In the end we only could light up 2 lanterns cause the wind is too big. =(

We then head up to FatBoySlim’s place and hang out. 

hahah no la hang out for me doesn’t always mean mahjong. I haven’t played mahjong for a long long long time like since I came back from the US last winter I only played like less than 5 times =(

Oh we also bought lian yong mooncakes, which everyone finished in less than 5 minutes haha it was just 2.5 hours after our barbeque and everyone is hungry already.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I purposely didn’t want to buy any mooncake for myself even though I was sort of craving for it esp the Shanghai mooncake (the type where it’s crispy at the outer layer not the soft type u know what i mean?) because it’s so expensive. almost 10 bucks per mooncake! So being the stingy self, I waited until the festival is over, cleverly thinking that when the festival is over, they will reduce the price for all the mooncakes.

I happily thought I could eat the same mooncake that all of you ate but at half of the price! Clever right? hohohohoh………

Turns out all the mooncakes are sold out in all the stores the next day T___________________________T

Happy Birthday CrazyRibby

September 16, 2008 · 2 Comments

Super BACKDATED photos.

We celebrated Kevin’s birthday in this new place called Sire Museum Restaurant. It’s actually owned by the grandsons of Yeap Chor Ee. The dining place is pretty small. Most of the building are occupied by decorations. More like selling environment more than food though.

We didn’t have a camera so just snapped a few photos with HY’s iPhone. They don’t allow us to take photos of the decorations, just the dining area. The next time I go I’m going to secretly take the photos don’t care.

the back part of the building has all the wooden chairs and paintings. It’s freaking big though no kidding.

The best food that night is the Garlic Bread with Cheese haha. But we’re too hungry we wallop everything. No time for photos.

My pan fried Red Snapper.

Me. Sigh look at my eye bags so big. That day was a bad day for me T_________T

Scrap that unhappy thought.

Most of us. Photo quality very bad sorry.

Me and Kevin with our desserts. Baked Cheese is normal and Rich Walnut Brownie which is freaking good. The warm brownies and the chocolate ice cream. yummyyyyyyy

Genting.

July 31, 2008 · 2 Comments

I swear I’m the only blogger without a camera, hence the lack of photos you see here. Well, I do have one. But I left the charger in my friend’s place in US when I was there the last time and couldn’t get it back now. And too stingy to buy a new one =( So I’m camera-less for 6 months already.

Anywayyyyyyyyyy The guys came down to KL and we went up to Genting together. Yeay…I heart Genting because it’s cold.

I have free Theme Park tickets but I didn’t care much about it. Most of the time spent in casino. Well, where else could I be right? Fortunately I didn’t lose TOO much.

I hate you Goh Tong, why is that we have the same surname but you’ve never once let me take even 50 dollars from you!!!!!!!!! Do i have to go to your memorial grave and pray first hmph!

Halfway through I ran out of cash and hurried to the nearest ATM in the casino to take more sigh why am I like that. And my friends just had to take photo of my super cannot-make-it gambling face la

and I look like I’m scratching my butt haha.
