My Shitty Week ( After all it wasn't that shitty~)

Finally it comes to the end of week. I rarely stay up till so late on a Sunday night, especially for the purpose of updating my blog.

This past week has been very stressful and quite a shitty one.

I tendered my resignation on Monday. Things didn't really go well, but it was kinda expected. However, Monday was just the beginning of this shitty week. In the next few days, I was bombarded by emails from my superior on different issues, mainly on the handover of jobs. I shouldn't word it as "harsh", but I would think all these messages could be conveyed in a nicer manner. I noticed myself ate lesser in that few days, and complained alot. Didn't it reflect that I was quite stress up by this whole thing?

In that few days, I wanted so much to talk a person. However, I had no idea where on earth this person was. Instead of sharing my worries with this person, I got even more upset because of that person. From getting upset, to frustrated, to fed up till now I feel nothing, but feeling myself was a bit silly and think that person is even much more stupider than me. I do not like to play game, but I guess I was part of the game in that few days. I wonder if they had fun with that. I would be happy if they did. At least, in their meaningless life, I did play a role to spice up their life huh.

Did not really spend too much time to think about it anymore after Wednesday. I would be appreciative if I could have some luxury time to relax and unwind in the midst of busy work. On Friday, I decided to go for Body Balance class after work. Maybe a meditation session would be good for me. It did a good job on me, I felt much better with myself after that.

Towards the end of week, everything was getting better. I took a 2-hour lunch on Friday with my sister at KLCC Aseana Café. With the good view facing Mandarin Oriental Hotel and KLCC park, I had a authentic Sumatran chicken rice that tasted quite good. After lunch, I went to KLCC to pick up the CD that I have ordered a week ago at Tower Records. Hooray~!

Had a good workout session on Saturday afternoon. I was suppose to go for the Easter play in Bukit Jalil on that night. But I couldn’t make it at the end due to my gastric. *remember not to skip meal anymore!!* Later at night when I felt better, I went out for drinks with few friends to catch up, and was a good girls’ night out!

I went to watch “Sepet” this afternoon. With a lot of compliments and promises from a award-winning movie, I set quite a high expectation to it. To my surprise, it is even better that I expected! I really highly recommend this movie to everyone. As a Malaysian, you would definitely know how to appreciate this movie more! I will write more about this movie later. When I was walking out from the cinema, I was thinking: I’m so proud to be a Malaysian!”*wink*

After the movie, we went to Green Lotus Café for dinner. This is my first time there, and I quite like the place. With “Siamese” theme of decoration in the restaurant, the place looks cosy and very unique. I had a Thai green curry chicken with rice wrapped in Lotus leaves, and Sambal squid, mango salad served at the side. The food is good, I rated 8 out of 10 for it! The place is just too cosy to leave once after you finish the food on table. We were there for quite some time, had a good chat with my friend, over a nice pot of Peach and Passion tea with dash of honey.
This is the only pic taken - Thai Green Curry chicken, it does look good right?

It’s Monday again tomorrow. Another 5 days at my old job. I have been through the worst in this past week, so I believe nothing worse will happen in this following week. I will get myself ready in this week, and look forward to starting my new job soon!

All my friends, please keep your finger cross for me, and wish me luck, okie? *wink*

听到最初的感动~~

上两个星期, 跑了好几家唱片行要找一张原以为很容易就可以买得到 的唱片。岂知,问过了好几家店都说售完了!当时心里更加觉得非要找到这张唱片不可! 但时,当时的我心里也暗地里觉得好高兴:真想不到这张专辑的销售这么好!最后,我唯有在最后一间到过的唱片行填下订购单,在唱片到的时候再拨电给我。
昨天再到那家唱片行时,竟发现忘了带订购单, 当时心想:无所谓,就走到货架上随便拿一张吧!既然新货刚到, 一定是很多在架上的。竟然。。。 竟然。。。 竟然在架上一张他的最新唱片也找不到!就只看到旧专辑零散的摆在架上。没有办法,只好硬着头皮走到柜台去碰碰运气了。幸好,店员很友善,不消一阵子就把我之前预定的唱片找到了!
昨晚听着里头一首首的歌,情绪也跟着里头的旋律波动起来。不晓得为什么他的歌曲里的每一个旋律都有着牵动人心的力量。 记得第一次听“童话”时,也是我第一次看他的音乐录影带,从第一个音符开始, 我就像听着一个感人的童话故事一样,随着里头故事情节的变化而高兴,而落泪。每一次听这首歌时,都有一种想哭得感觉, 不是因为伤心想哭,而是里头那一份莫名的感动而令我流泪。
里头有太多的好歌,自己很喜欢,像“天堂”,“少年”, “手机留言”。。。每次听光良的歌,都觉得里头带着淡淡的忧伤,让人的情绪也会跟着里头的旋律波动。虽然这次也有类似的感觉,可是,多听了几次之后, 我却发现这是因为他的音乐里头 除了有动人的旋律及精彩的故事情节之外,每一个用心写出来的音符都带着最初的感动。
*当音乐回到最原始的样子,才能感受到那一份最初的感动。*

It's a sweet birthday - part 2

Though it was my birthday, I still spare about 2 hours to work out at the gym. Mainly it's because of the heavy meal that I was expecting!!

Around 7:30p.m, I have already dressed up nicely in my new topshop miniskirt, and my black halter top. Needless to say, I definitely have to accesorise myself on this special occasion :) I put on my blue crystal butterfly hair clip (*lovely gift from fei fei*), a bracelet (*21st bday gift from my housemates n others*), and.. yeah.. something is lacking... I couldn't find a matching necklace! Forget about it, I still look good without it :P

Finally, at about 815pm, we were right in front of this restaurant - Cafe Cafe. This is so scary! " Felicia, I knew that you made a booking at 830pm, and I expected to see you there too , but not right in front of the restaurant, and reached the door at the SAME time!! we turned into the corner at the exact same time from both opposite direction!!"

Back to my birthday dinner. The ambience and deco in the restaurant is so lovely!! After we got a table for 3, we started looking at the menu and placed order. After that..... omg!! 3 of us just couldn't stop taking pictures, from sitting at dining table, standing at almost every corner in the restaurant, taking first sip of the white wine, appreciating the presentation of every single dish served........ almost everything!!!

Anyways, I had a 3 course dinner started from sliced toasted multigrain bread with goose liver pate, then here came my main course: yummy spaghetti with mussels n pesto sauce... n lastly my dessert: vanilla ice cream. We basically shared all food that we ordered, and we all agree they serve very good dessert. I like their tiramisu *yum yum* (this is even better the one from Alexis - the best I had in KL so far) The cake with strong rum and coffee taste mixed with smooth cream just melt in your mouth..... I feel myself in heaven! ;) The chocolate mousse is good too, not too sweet, but it tastes a bit bitter, just the way I like. Even the vanilla ice cream, yes, that ordinary one scoop of vanilla ice cream tastes so"vanilla"ish and more delicious than what we had before... hahhaha..

oh.... I'm just too indulged in the delicate french cuisine. Here comes the most important part of the night: sam n xiu, together with huoy and anne got me a present, which is.....oh man... it's the topshop mini skirt that I tried on the other day!!

* girls, thanks for the lovely present from you all, I really like it a lot. But I guess I still don't have that guts to wear it out during day time :") Before losing more weights, I will wear it out at night, ok? ;) Feel a bit sentimental here, this is my 23rd birthday..... thanks for all the things you all have done for me all these while, I'm really blessed to have you all by my side all the time*
I am yet to post up all our lovely photos once I get it from sam. Not only the Paris-alike restaurant that you have to look forward to, but the pretty girls in it too!
p/s: feli, thanks for your "teh tarik" cake and your effort to make us look pretty in that few shots! It's soon your turn to turn 23rd!

It's a sweet birthday - Part 1

It's my birthday again! Yes, this is the 23rd birthday!!

The celebration started from yesterday at the office. Myself and another 3 colleagues whose birthday in March celebrated together. My 1st birthday cake - a tiramisu.

Later at night, I went out with some college mates. I had my 2nd birthday cake - a cappucino cake. Notice the similarity between both cakes? - both with caffein! Yeah, that's what I like! *winks*

This is my cappucino cake - with only one candle on top after my special request :)

After I made a wish, waiting for them to take out all their advanced camera phone to take photo.

Cutting my cake, instead I was looking at another camera....phone..

Ai Ee and myself

Apart from the birthday celebration, I was happy to catch up with everyone ever since the time we met last year! It's all about work again while we were busy updating each other. Everyone has been working really hard. At least, I can tell from everyone's exhausted face :P
*Thanks for doing all these for me guys, I know it's kinda tiring to drag you all out after a long day. I save one of my birthday wishes for everyone: wish all family and friends are happy and healthy everyday*
Now, I'm sitting in my office, look forward to having more fun on my birthday. This is something unexpected though, I wasn't this looking forward to my birthday days before yesterday - it's my 23rd! After all, why bother how old I am, but let's just have some fun!

More oomph~~

Oh man! My arms and tighs are aching when I woke up this morning~~ Especially the bisep muscles on both arms are.... ouch~~

This is what I got from the Body Combat class attended yesterday. I never attended any before. Yesterday after the Body Jam, instead of taking a rest while waiting for the next Body Step class, I sneaked into Body Combat class without registered (oops!)

My friend and I are first timer. I was standing somewhere towards the back in the studio, couldn't really see my own reflection from the mirror. Wondered how do I look like with all those movements. =P

The class started off with some slower pace warm-up steps, like jabs, hook and some jumps. The whole studio got heated up after the first track. The following tracks involved a lot of kicking, punching and shouting, yes, it's shouting "ha! ha!" ho!" Everone looked so into it, as if aiming to punch and kick their enemy!! I like the "Skataer Boy"track. We were split into 2 groups, facing each other. Along the music, we moved forward to punch and kick, then moved backward to go back to position. The interactions in the class made everyone so excited and worked real hard too! The shouting in room got louder and louder!!

I like this class, not only the sweat-a-lot part, but it is a good stress and inhibition buster~!

Imagine the annoying people you meet at the office: side kick, back kick, with 2 punches, add in another front kick, 4 jabs~~~ wahahaha.... Ooops... no, no, no, I will never do that.

蓝色蝴蝶带来的喜悦

昨天收到了一份意外的惊喜。不把它写作礼物是因为,它不只是一件物品,而是一份心意,一份坚固友谊的结成品。
(不想把它写得文驺驺,可是除了这之外,却也想不到正确的词句去表达。=P)

fei说要在这个星期六才能把它打开。我摸了摸手中的浅绿色礼物纸,里头凹凸不平,形状像一对翅膀。。。“嘿!我知道里头是什么东西!”我对fei 说。他终于说我可以打开来看。打开一看,果然如我所料!

好友就是如此吧!记得去年的这个时候,fei 和 xiu也为我的生日作了类似的事情。打开袋子一看,是一个我在逛街时相中好久的包包!我真的好喜欢,可是也更加为了好朋友的这份心意而感到高兴和感动。

这次的是一个铜色发夹,上面镶了一个蓝色水晶蝴蝶。上次我们三人一起到 mon't kiara ABC market 时,我看到其中一个摊子的老板娘夹在头发,实在是美呆了! 后来,在其中一个摊子发现了它,我就像是发现新大陆似的。可是,还是恨不下心肠,这么贵买个发夹。昨晚在fei面前打开礼物时,看到里头的蓝蝴蝶,又提醒了我去年的感动。

ryoji 也给我买了一个巧克力Famous Amos Muffin。 对他说了谢谢(Arigato)之后,我还沉浸在意外+感动的情绪里,忘了对他说:“你真是太客气了,实在不需要如此破费。” fei,可以帮我翻译并转告吗?

人生得一知己,死而无憾。(好像言重了?) 更何况,我现在拥有不止一个。

谢谢你们。

1+1=2?

Weather: Hazy day
Mood: Moderately bad

I just came back from lunch with a colleague. We went to this small store that always pack with lunch crowd from people work nearby. The food aren't very delicious, the price is just accpetable for city centre standard, range from RM4.50-RM6 for a regular fried noodles or fried rice, the environment is bad, with a small space try so hard to accomodate so many people. Lastly, the service is terrible as they always scolded you for not giving small change or take up too many space! You must think that all patrons must be crazy. Emm....I suppose so, as so many of us still go back to that place regularly.

To introduce this crap place is not the main topic in this blog. Here you go, I bumped into a friend while I was walking there to get my lunch. I was to hungry to catch up, but just to say hi and rush to stuff my face. When I walked out from the store with my full stomach and heading to the fruit stall, I heard someone called my name. It's him again sitting there eating fruits with 2 colleagues.

We did talk a bit, started with a topic that nreally got on my nerves. I got pretty annoyed throughout the whole conversation, feeling very uneasy to continue it, and almost on the verge of telling them off. Not to be rude, I excused myself and ended the conversation with lots of frustration in myself.

When I was walking back to the office, I wondered if it was the stupid jokes, nonsense talk, or the person himself that annoyed me so much. I wonder the reason I was once so close with this person, and all of sudden, he feels like a stranger to me. Is tat him that has changed so much? Or I'm the one who change?

This is probably a problem that I will never figure out the solution.... How I wish this is just another mathematics problem, like 1+1=2.

Life just ain't like this right?

Mei's empty soul

It has been almost a month since my last blog! Despite the fact that not many people actually care about how often I update my blog, I still feel bad for not writing anything. Maybe it is because " gone out too often + had too much fun + excessive level of alcohol + read too little -> makes mei a lazy bum with empty soul....
The most remarkable thing happened in the past few weeks was: my dearest fren- fei fei is back in KL! I guess she is part of the reason, why I have been going out so much.. hehehe.. It is always good to hang out with friend that you know each other so well, that you don't even have to take long to decide the next destination after one. Another week, she will back to the place with sakura blossom everywhere.
Maybe it is good in a way that we take these few weeks as a long break to recharge and get back to the real world and work/study hard! Gambade, all my dear friends!
