CNY Eat Play Sleep

Chinese New Year, a festive season to celebrate by all Chinese. It feels great to have a long holiday and eat, play, sleep as much as you like. Hehe...  It is also the time to go around visiting relatives and collect Ang pows.

Ang pows are monetary gift which are given during Chinese New Year. I believe they symbolizes for luck and prosperity. As year goes by, ang pow collection are getting lesser.

And the usual "When are you getting married?" questions will popped up by relatives

Mmm... usual answer will be:

• Wait till I am ready
• Haven found the right one
• Let other cousin goes first

It's the 3rd day of CNY and some may have already started working. As for me, I'm taking another 2 days off for me to eat eat play play and sleep sleep.

I just got back from Queensbay watching "Journey 2" in 3D. It's a story about an adventure of finding the mysterious island and his grandfather. Overall, I love the 3D effect and it's adventure. Hehehe...

I'm going off to another CNY gathering soon. Wish I had more time to go around visiting all my friends and family.

Adios, love you all. ^_^



I'm getting chubbier nowadays... need a diet plan after CNY =P



When you least expect

Some thoughts running through my mind...
Some unexplainable question.
If you have hurt the same person before more than once, will he/she forgive you?
If he/she still treats you good, and you sense it, what should you do?

I've hurt people before and getting hurt too.

It is really not easy to be able to recover from it and move on.
Or maybe I should say I'm a person that changes easily and protects myself too much.

Sometimes, life is really unpredictable.
When you expect for something, nothing happen.
But when you are not, there's always something out there.
I guess thats why there's a saying that goes like this:
"It'll happen when you least expect it."

Anyway, I believe that staying positive is the right way to go and my motto will always be
"Don't worry, be happy" ^_^

Happy Chinese New Year

Wishing eVeRYoNe twelve months of happiness and prosperity -- a lot of both!

Auspicious Day to Start Work in 2012

2nd week - Tang Yuen week

Second week, blood donation to save life. Followed my friend to Hui Yin Seh Air Itam centre to donate blood. My blood type is B+, it's be positive. Haha...

This week is a fat fat week. Had 4 servings this week. I love tang yuen, its really yummy. Can't resist but the mind keep on sending signals of yummy yummy rice balls to the brain.
One of the shop is Sugar Dynasty: http://www.sugardynasty.com/.
My sister bought the coupon for Buy 1 Free 1 Glutinous Rice Ball for RM4.20. They had a lot of different taste flavour paste inside the big glutinous rice ball (cheese, chocolate, peanut, sesame, etc).

The one that has been my favourite is Tang Yuen stall opposite Traders Hotel: http://penang-tangyen.blogspot.com/. The price starts from RM2.20 (small) - RM5.50 (large). They usually open from 7-12am.

Our team had "Siu Kang Jiu" at Bukit Genting, Penang and also celebrate farewell for one of our colleague. "Siu Kang Jiu" is done annually to celebrate the closing dinner and acknowledge all our hardwork before the coming of CNY. In Hokkien dialect, it means "Closing of Work". The restaurant @ Bukit Genting are famous for Thai food and you can enjoy nice scenery view from the restaurant there. As I'm sick, I need to control on the food intake and didn't really take spicy food, although I love tomyam a lot.

One more week and it's going to be Chinese New Year. Last minute shopping to welcome the new year.

It's time to get ang pow again. Mmmm, hoping to escape the "usual" question by the relatives... hahaha...

First week of 2012

First brunch - Toasted bread with chicken floss and extra cheese

First week of the year, started the first Monday with a sumptuous dinner @ Tao Cuisine, Egate with friends, known as ASKS gang. My friend Banana Chew came up with this group name for us, taking inspiration from F.I.R. band. As 3 of us used to hang out like buddies, we can form a team of ASK. If take out the K and replace with S, it will be left with ASS. Is kinda funny how creative Ah Chew can be.

After resting for about a month, I'm back to jogging and exercise again, 2 times this week. ^_^

A good start for the year. Hopefully I can shed a bit of chubby fat from my face and reduce some kgs, currently still weighing at 55kg.

Good news for the year, my llm delivered her baby boy, Luke Yam and he weighs 2.7kg. Both mummy and baby are safe and healthy.

Baby Luke - 4th January 2012

Met up with my bestie Hooi Peng for dinner and had our gift exchange session. I gave her Cupido and she gave me a pinky basket which I can use to put my cosmetics stuff. Thanks HP.

Forgiveness is when you can let go of the anger and hope for good things for that person.

Cute mimi
