I had a good weekend catching up with some friends that I never met for quite some time. Saturday afternoon, I went to Mid Valley to meet up a friend for lunch. We went to chili’s as I felt so greedy and hungry and really craved for some “satisfying” food, in another words, a big portion of food! Apart from the yummy food that they have, one thing I really like about chili’s is the bottomless beverages that they offer. That is why we could spend nearly 4 hours there with our fruit juices refilled for countless times!! Later on, another friend came to join us as well.
In that afternoon, I have to digest the news of my friend is getting married soon. This is the second friend who is at my age that wants to get married! Another friend who joined us later on told us that she and her bf has been planning to get married probably 2 yrs later. I was kinda in shock when this topic brought up during our conversation. Oh well, yeah, this is not the first time we talked about marriage, but I just never thought that it is already so near us! It makes me wonder who will be the next person who will give to their wedding. All of sudden, the topic that we were talking about make myself feel so like an ADULT but in another way, I felt left out too! This is just something that never came across my mind! I would probably think of my career, my family, maybe a guy that I have crush on, maybe a good friend that I care about, but just not marriage. It is not that marriage isn’t something for me, but maybe I’m not at that stage yet to think about it. I guess we all at a different pace now, and maybe I’m the one taking a damn slow pace that left behind.
Congratulations to all my friends who tied the knot, going to tie the knot, and plan to tie the knot soon! All my best wishes to all these happy couples!

怪怪的我
近来的生活怪怪的，说不上是充实，说不上是空洞，不是很忙，却老是觉得时间不够用，似乎也觉得有点盲。满脑子有一大堆理不清，也说不出的想法及感受。也或许是如此，我也不知道要如何把它们化作文字。一直以来都觉得自己不是一个表达能力有问题的人，可是，近来的自己却是越来越不会表达自己了。有时因为这样，也觉得倒不如不说了，真糟糕！可是，又明白自己不是一个可以把东西都收着不说的人，把组织不到的话都往肚子里吞的感受很不爽！真是令人讨厌的家伙！真想盖自己两巴掌！
请赐我，或还我表达能力吧！又或是并不是我的表达能力出了问题，而是我的脑袋出了问题？真是怪怪的我。
请赐我，或还我表达能力吧！又或是并不是我的表达能力出了问题，而是我的脑袋出了问题？真是怪怪的我。
最初的感动 - 续篇
上个星期日在报章上看到一则光良的访问，就把它剪了下来，打算要将里头的一些内容贴上来和大家分享。，可是糊涂的我不晓得把它放了哪里。当我读着那篇访问时，总觉得里头有些内容非常熟悉，不知道在那儿看过的。
内容大意约是 -“童话”这首歌象是一首说不出有多特别的歌，可是听过这首歌的人都会感受到那份感动，那一份最初的感动。后来想了想之后，我才记起，这不是和我之前些的那篇 blog 有异曲同工之妙吗？想不到，还有那么多人和我有共鸣！那篇访问的结尾还说那位记者后来到了各大书局尝试要找光良最近出版的那一本五线乐谱，可是却找不到，还以为是本地找不到。后来，一问之下，才知道是卖光了，出版商都在赶着加印！
加油噢！

Finally, it's up!
Last Friday I attended a product launching with my colleague at Sunway Hotel. It was actually kinda interesting to me, as it was the first time for me to attend such an event. Unfortunately, I only got to know about it on that morning itself. Can you imagine? It was a Friday where everyone (at least me) would actually dress more casual to work. On that morning, when I was standing in front of my wardrobe, I decided to put on my pink and brown flora skirt and matched it with a plain black top, which actually looks like, no, it’s exactly a baby tee. Luckily, I didn’t allow myself to forgo that pair of pantyhose. Yeah, the idea of just not wearing the pantyhose did come across my mind, but phew~~ I managed to beat the laziness laid in me.
When we reached the place, we realized that we were actually an hour early! In order to ensure the programs run smoothly, the organizer actually allocated ONE HOUR for the media registration. It makes me wonder, if most media people always late for such function. Anyway, the one hour waiting time was just nice for me to have a chat with my colleague. Since I always didn’t get a chance to talk to her in the office, it was a good chance to know her better through the conversation. I guess after all we are just ordinary girls, who like shopping, food and … gossip!!
After the good chat, we were directed to the entrance of the ballroom and ushered to our seats at the few front rows. The whole product launch, plus the press conference later on took up about an hour and a half. I actually started getting bored when reporters asked some technical questions that I had no idea what are all that about.
Finally, the launch came to an end, and we were ushered to another ballroom to have our lunch!! I know I sound greedy, but I was so hungry. When we left the place, we even got product sample as door gift!
This is my 7th day at work, and I finally got a chance to go out for appointment! I went for 2 appointments with my manager. Honestly, I felt myself looked very stupid during the appointment. In the first appointment, my manager did all the talking, and presented all materials prepared to the client. I was just sitting there, looking at both of them. I always think that from one’s eye contact, you can actually determine your importance in that conversation. Since, the client didn’t even bother to look at me throughout the whole conversation after exchanging name cards, so you can tell how important I was during that appointment right. Anyways, it was a good chance to learn from my manager ways to do presentation and to approach clients.
Here goes my 7th day at work, and I believe there are more to share when time comes. Stay tune!

p/s: I actually wrote this few days ago, but just did not get the chance to post it up. Oh right, yeah be more accurate, I was just too lazy to come online to post it up. But anyway, finally now it's here. ;)

mAgaZiNeS... MaGazInEs... maGAzINeS...
Just a quick recap of what happened in the past few days.
Sun:
Had a great time went to the musical –The Sound of Music at Istana Budaya. The musical was incredible! This is only my second time to go for a musical play in Malaysia. Compared to the previous musical, Saturday Night Fever that I went to, I would personally prefer this one. For more details, you may check out Felicia’s blog! Basically, my day ended pretty early on that day. It is a very unusual thing that I would iron my clothes and get everything ready the night before a working day. But the next day isn’t another ordinary day, but my FIRST day at my new work place!
Mon:
Woke up around 7:15am. Left the house at 7:50a.m, and I reached the office at 8:30!! OMG, this is so early! I only start work at 9! After I met up with my manager, few of my colleagues invited me to go for breakfast with them. Since, I already had my breakfast, I just went there to have a drink, and started chit-chatting with them. As what I expected, my first day at work was boring……My manager gave me a few of the magazines to let me read through. So basically, I spent my whole day sitting there to read magazines.
Tues:
Again I arrived the office slightly past 830, went for breakfast with my colleagues after that. Most of my colleagues started packing and gone out for appointment. My manager was still too busy to brief me on some technical details before he could bring me out for any appointments. Went to Kelana Jaya for lunch with colleagues in the afternoon. Another day as gone after reading two, three, or……countless magazines.
Wednesday:
Same as above.

It has been three good days at my new work place. Even though, I was so bored at work, and had nothing to do except reading magazines in these few days. Surprisingly, I have no complaint at all. When looking at my colleagues busy at work everyday, I quite look forward to get into work as soon as possible. I wonder how long I will have to take to pick up these. No matter how, looking at the client account that I will be handling, I start getting excited, and… nah, nothing, but all the best to myself, and everyone’s at work!
Happy working!
Happy working!
p/s: thanks for the few friends who drop me a message or even called me up to wish me luck on my first day at work :)

Bye Bye~~
This gonna be the last time I blog on my workstation in this office. it is now close to 8pm. I'm probably the last one who leave the office today. Maybe quite a short notice was given, most people only know that I'm leaving in this week. No major farewell, and it is the way thayt I like.
Colleagues say goodbye to me and wish me all the best in my future undertakings.
Had a long talk with my manager before she left just now, most of it about the current issues in our company. Before she left, she told me:" all the best to you, and one last word to you: not to be too trusting in your future job". I asked if she thinks I'm like that. She said no, but she thinks that I'm still very innocent. Just few words, but left me with lots of thoughts....
I did my best in handover, and hope I make it a smooth transition. It has been a great learning & working experience in this company.Despite of all the complaints & grieavances, I did learn a lot from my superiors and colleagues.
Coming to the end of my service in this company, I wish every of my colleagues all the best.
I look forward to opening another new chapter in my life soon.

Going to saÿ Bye
I was in the office till quite late today. I wasn’t in the hurry to leave as usual, reason being is because I still have plenty to do, and I know this is my second last day in the office.
I was quite eager to leave this place and couldn’t wait to go to a new environment during days before yesterday. However, I feel slightly different in these 2 days. I start to slow down my pace while walking along the corridor, take a longer time at the pantry while making my morning coffee, and take a few more glances at my room before leaving the office. Even this evening when I was walking out from the gym that is just further down from my office, I felt different. It is a mixture of feeling that I can’t put it down in words.
Yesterday I had a good lunch with another 3 colleagues at Inagiku Japanese Restaurant. It was treated as a farewell lunch for me. When it comes to food, I just can’t help but to write a little bit more on it. When looking at the lunch menu, I was not too impressed. Maybe it was because very little description given on the menu. All the Japanese names just do not help much to decide what to order. Finally, each of us ordered a different set lunch. The sashimi and sushi set lunch that I had is…… YUMMY!! The sashimi are so fresh and sliced in right thickness. I always enjoy eating fish roe sushi, and they served one of the best that I have tried so far. I like their food presentation with food served in those pretty and delicate Japanese plates with different sizes. With the full stomach, I felt very happy, but a little lazy… :”)
I hope tomorrow will be a good day - Handover to be done smoothly and no hard feeling from anyone. :)
p/s: Thought I could have write a more interesting and detailed blog. But I'm just too sleepy.... good night everyone, sweet dream. :)
