The Song of Jigglypuff

OK ranting time. There are tonnes of worries splurge into my braincells, as the big day draws sooner. Leaving my own home - This is really hard. Especially when my mom gave out a long sigh while I was helping her with dishes last weekend. "Girl, this coming Chinese New Year you will be at your in law's house, remember to behave nicely. Sure a lot customs different from us, just bear with it and adapt, if you encounter anything unsure, just call mommy." Oh, these words really crushed me to pieces. Ever since mom and dad went on different ways, I was alongside with her rebuilding our home. It was really hard for me to leave them now. But I ought to move on with my life, so every single thought of leaving home will make me teary and cause stinging pain in the heart. Well, it's not like I'm gone forever, just moving to another place which is 1 hour drive away. Sigh. Hope that I won't cry out loud on the big day. Staying with in-laws - It's a weird feelin...

Have not really update on things other than wedding nowadays. Well, the wind of change lately has been strong. Not only I'm changed to Mrs Lai now, I'm also changing home address soon, and will have another drastic change in my career path. I'm ditching engineering, for good. Never have I thought this day would come. I have loved engineering since day one I started Science Stream in Form 4. I wanted to be an engineer. I achieved that until certain level, but now I'm putting a full stop, or perhaps a comma to it. Days in Company H and Company V had me reconsidered what exactly I like doing. I was in business development in both companies, for engineering products. I re-evaluate those days, how much % I'm happy and how much % I'm not. My conclusion is, sad to say, only 40% happy. Maybe I'm weak but I would rather opt for the reason that I'm unlucky in banking for employers. Company V is cash rich, but with difficult customers and limited room ...

Being engaged and now in the midst of wedding preparation, we are both getting ready mentally and physically for a whole new journey together. At times, unavoidable, there will be misunderstanding and disagreement along the way. From small matters up to really serious matters, it really require ultimate tolerance and understanding to overcome the hiccups. So I learn that at times, it is just better to..simply STFU.  Only bring up the disagreement/ dissatisfaction when you're REALLY ready, to avoid disappointment or trigger conflict gunshots: It's never easy to be a woman, what more a married woman. Oh hey, I'm not even married yet. Bleh...

It has been confirmed. I am moving on from here. It has been 2 years I worked here, all ups and downs would end on the coming 8th of Sept. Enduring 2 years in Company Q has brought myself, mentally and physically strong to face obstacles. Starting a new company is not easy, what more a factory. From scrap, I see slab by slab the factory is built. I lived on with German culture, I worked under pressure from demanding bosses, I worked in a construction plant!! I have never a slight idea this job would be like this when I signed the employment letter. All I know is a great opportunity to get training and stay in Europe. But once the Europe thingee is gone, hell started. Safety shoe, safety helmet, safety vest, safety harness, face mask, "ghost lorry", red muddy pool, big giganto rocks, dust, deadly sun beam, heat, lunching in a container together with construction workers?!... you name it. Basically my skin went from fair and smooth to rough and dark. Curse Company Q! Despite th...

Since my move from old home to new home on the 20th of December 2009, I've applied for relocation of my telephone and internet line. I was totally furious and words couldn't explain my disappointment with TM. It took more than 2 months to complete my relocation, with non-stop events of "problems" encountered by them to simply relocate my line from a walking distance building away. Until now, for 2 months and 7 days, I still have not achieved my plan to.. = RELOCATE TELEPHONE & STREAMYX LINE TO NEW HOME AND UPGRADE THE STANDARD INTERNET PACKAGE TO STREAMYX COMBO = The trails of events are as follow: 16-Dec, 2009 - I visited TMPoint in Bangsar to file application for the above plans (relocate & upgrade) but was only able to start with relocation of the phone line. So, I filed the application and waited. TOTAL TIME SPENT = 1 day . 17-Dec,2009 to 11-Jan-2010 - I made numerous calls and visit to TMPoint to check my application. TM operators told me that their syst...

Being a couple for 8.5 years, it has been normal for parents, relatives and friends to ask us, When are you two getting married? Why didn't you go for registration first? What's holding you back from marriage? Or donate their ultimate "best-in-the-world" judgment for us, This year is tiger year, not good, get married next year? Rabbit year, then get a Dragon boy and a Horse girl? 10-10-10! good day for marriage! 11-11-11! no way you gonna miss this? Doing 2nd degree also can get married one mar! Or give their cry-me-the-river experience/theories to scare us, You know, getting pregnant after 30's will ends you up with big fat belly and potato body shape. Look at me, you won't want to try... It's D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S to get pregnant after 30's, you'll have sooo "little" time left to try! and of cause, aged maternity concerns you know.. You better sign the paper quick, you know men are always men, they will sway easily! 1 paper only, just GO an...

This is me at work, always with my safety helmet, safety vest, safety goggles, safety shoes and walkie talkie. With the hot sun, rain, dust, lorries, bulldozers and so on.. I'm getting darker days by days.. Sigh.. I love my job.. but when can the construction be done? Really hope this can end soon, life as a "bangla head" isn't fun at all. :(

The other day my colleague brought a scale that is able to measure stuff like weight (obviously), fat content, moisture content, bone density, recommended kcal to eat a day etc.. the scale gave me an overall rate of 4 from 9 in terms of body fitness, namely label me as "UNDER EXERCISE". Gosh, with so much walking and physical work I endured lately in work, I'm still under exercise? Looks like I really HAVE to get down to some serious exercise. Swimming every weekend isn't enough? Going gym after work, twice a week? This can be done actually, depending if I could persistently follow the plan. The scale also stated that I should consume not more than 1039 kcal a day. This really freak me out, only a thousand kcal a day? As far as I'm concern, 2 pieces of Gardenia bread is already 200 kcal. Right, so I google-d this "what can I eat with 1000 kcal a day?" and found this recipe or diet plan: 1000 Calorie Diet Sample Menu Drinks throughout...

Every now and then I felt unfair, why am I back in Malaysia and colleagues staying in Leipzig? Lucky me to have nice colleagues whom still "show" me around with photo and video of the up-to-date condition there. Sometimes even live streaming, haha, web-cam is a great invention. - The tree outside our apartment, greenish on the day I left - - The same tree, turned yellow few days after I left - From the day I left, I saw colours changing in Leipzig, of cause from their photos. From green to yellow to brown to white. Cause, it's snowing in Leipzig. How much I wanted to see snow, missed this opportunity again.. So unfair!! - Green: View from apartment room, on the day I arrived - - White: View from apartment room, 1 month after I left - Here's a video of them experiencing snow.. the only missing thing is.. ME. I WANT TO PLAY WITH SNOW TOO!!! Really hope I'll have opportunity to get back to Leipzig soon...

TRAFFIC JAM @ SALAK EXPRESSWAY!!!

I was on my way to work today when I got caught in a "jam" to cross a Toll Plaza. I was wondering why only the Touch and Go lane is jammed, even the Cash Lane moved smoother. Later I knew it was some smart driver whom misplaced her/his T&G card, eventually after 15minutes she/he found the card. Hello??? We were in a jam for more than 15minutes because of her/his mistake. There was only ONE T&G lane so had no choice but to wait and tailed behind this cute driver. I wonder how come these not-savvy person can be alive and even think of using the T&G card. Can't you place your card somewhere safe, let say your car's compartment or so on? I'm pretty sure there's lots of compartment in cars nowadays. Some even custom made for you to put the cards. I really hate these people, made me late for work today and had no time to buy breakfast. Now I'm hungry. Grrr.. Even those Cash users can fork out RM1.50 easily before reaching the toll and make sure the l...

Even my piggy's pellet hike >40% as the aftermath of the petrol price hike. Sigh.. It was previously RM11.00 for a large pack of Hagen Pellet. - RM 11.00 - After the petrol price hike, - RM 17.50 - Sob sob, Piggy ah, eat lesser!! Your master very poor already! =.='' - Piggy: Noway! Grrr... - Sigh, how are we suppose to change lifestyle...my brilliant PM, get Piggy to eat grass instead? Sigh.. life is definitely getting harder..

:( The nightmare has finally come, petrol price has gone up RM0.78 per liter a.k.a 40% to reach an alarming price of RM 2.70 per liter OH MY GAWD!! Let say for my 1300 cc MYVI needs around 30 liter for a full tank of petrol, before price hike I pay RM58-60 per full tank. Now with the price hike, I need to pay.. RM 80.00!!!!!!!! per tank!!! and one tank of petrol can last for... 10 days? so, I'm paying RM240 for petrol now instead of the usual RM180. An RM60 increase. Sigh, from now on I will need to eat biscuits and drink milo for lunch. sob sob :( Did the government say we could have rebate of RM625 per annum for cars below 2000 cc? I wonder how well the system works, concerning our government's effectiveness. Sighh... let's book for a trip before Air Asia and Mas decided on a price hike also. Sigh, I told my Piggy rabbit to eat less, master is RM60 poorer every month from now on. He frowned..

It's hell. Why on earth must she types like her father just got killed by the keyboard or something? Is there something so urgent that she must smash the keyboard, that she must flip the papers so hard that I'm sitting few meters away got so irritated? Who do you think you are? I don't want to know you're busy typing, typing messages in msn? who wants to know you bitch, just shut yourself up. Does your father or mother teach you manners? You talk like a bitch like a market bitch bitching for 20cents discount with suppliers and you still type so hard on the keyboard to tell me you're busy? Yeah so busy, so sorry for you. Just go flush yourself down the toilet and stop irritating me. DAMN! If I would measure the intensity of noise here, I would assure you it exceeded the allowable irritative decibels. DAMN! I need earplugs.

Can you tolerate someone asking you to shut up? No I can't. I only speak my unsatisfactory, why is he asking me to shut up? Maybe this person need to learn his lesson, he wants me to shut up, I WILL shut up.

My nose is blocked again. I'm not having sinus, just allergic to something I'm not sure what. Sigh, whenever I'm too hot or too cold or lack of oxygen, my nose will be well-blocked. Depending on the degree of hot/cold/dust, my nose will be blocked according to it. It's like I couldn't breath, that I have to grasp for air. Eesshh, it's so troubling especially when you need to concentrate on working. Sigh. I used to have this problem since little. I used to tell my mom that I can't breath! And she only told me to open my mouth to breath instead. Well, she might be thinking I have flu or something and me too, thought I have flu. But the funny thing is, I don't sneeze nor any mucus formed! Sigh. I ignored this "sickness" till lately it became quite bad, whenever I walk fast or deal with dusty stuff, my nose will be FULLY blocked. No oxygen lead to headache and dizzy. Normally I would use Vicks inhaler to temporarily cure my nose blockage, but I kno...

The stupid "Smart Tunnel" is closed until further notice. Why why why why?! Caused me to be late for work and sat in the jam for an hour! It's just a short distance, normally it only took me 5minutes, and today.. it was an hour!! 60minutes! Why must they close the tunnel for flood? I thought it's a dual function conduit, both drain and road working at the same time? no? Those people working in KL are so used to this facility, now are handicapped if they suddenly remove it. Causing this bad crawl. I wonder when is their further notice. sigh. better sleep early and get out early tomorrow. -.-''
