A Surprise News from Office

hey all...the previous post was too sad to read.
My eyes swollen everytime I read it.
Ah....

Anyway, life cannot always be full of tears and sadness.

Let's shake it off and start your day with a smile and end with a laughter.

Beside family matters that tie down my 'my-time', work is another big issue in my life.
I've been complaining to my closest co-worker and friends almost everyday since the 'woman' joined us!!!

I remembered in March I tendered a resignation to boss and say I am quiting.
I do not like the games that she played.
Maybe during that time I am not corporate mature to handle such political games.
I am way off the head and maybe my boss will address me as a big head at that time.
Yet I still stick around as the boss was the one that assure everything will be fine!

Then things worsen.
Nothing is going to be fine.
The games she played just too much for me and I am sure everyone else think almost the same.
But I am honest (or maybe stupid) enough to tell boss.
So I was blamed for blaming her all the mistakes. As we are in one team and everyone in the team shared that piece of cake. Pushing responsibilities and blame towards oneself is highly immature and unacceptable to boss.

Gulp..I swallowed all that in.
From that moment onwards, I learned my lesson.
I am confident to say that I am way wiser compare to the old me.
More corporate mature and solving such political issues in office way better than before.
But the passion for the work has gone.
As most energy was sucked up to entertain and serving her.
As passion become weaker by days, I had lost my hopes towards the firm.

But my instinct keep on telling me to stay around. There will be something happen that proves I am right from the start. Because of that little instinct, I do not tender my resignation for the second time.

Until last month where I had enough of everything.

Still, I willing to stick around as if I can't live with another job...

urgh...my stubborness!

Then, as the news announced...
Baam!!!!
YES!!!!!!!

I am right from the very beginning!

Boss is not blind and he really sees us work our ass off for the firm!
And now is my time to shine.

Sorry friends! I can't disclose much in here.
Very sensitive issue.

I am happy for the result...
Now is my time to shine...
fingers crossed for my result at year end!!!

Barely hanging on...

hi all!
it's been a while after my last post.
My life been in a hectic schedule since the last two years until now.
As I previously stated, my dad condition worsen recently and I've tried all my best to accompany him whenever I have the chance to.
Since last two weeks, his condition getting even worse and he has not been eating.
So we decided to get him to hospital and see what the doc has to say.

I've been pretty optimistic about the whole thing from the start.
I only cried once which was when the doc announced that dad was diagnosed with colon cancer at 3rd stage. That was 2 years back. So whatever lines from TVB dramas that the doctor always say to the patient happened to me. This is not what I ever think of.

But we as a family pull it through and I thought all this while the God is and will be on our side.
My dad consider young at his age of 53.
His daughter not getting married yet and he has not welcome his first grandchild.
So I never think of this thing ever happened to me until last two weeks.

He was very sick and could not even walk. I called the ambulance to pick him up to hospital.
After rounds of check up by the doctor.
The doctor patiently told us that his condition will not be getting any better.
But he will try his best to make my dad comfortable.
Few days later, after rounds of scanning and scopes, the unexpected sentences (which I always get that from TVB dramas) crossing my mind as the doctor speaks:
He apologised that he couldn't do anything else to help my dad, and he is left with 6 mths to live. If condition worsen, his life span will be shorten to 3 months.

Bang! it smack me on my face!!
I could not catched the doctor following sentences as everything went blurred.
I've never ever think of all this as I am optimistic that God will not be that cruel to take him away from me at this moment.

God, couldn't you spare me a little more kindness to let him stay with me until he fulfill his dream of a dad to watch his daughter getting married and has her own family. That was the least he could do and why do you rape this off from him?

I saw both my parents cried. But I did not shed a tear. As I am very aware of that if I cried, it will only burden him with my tears.

I hold back my tears and as I stand on the balcony of my house, I let it all out. I felt so helpless and hopeless. I kept on asking myself why is this happening to me? Why me? and not anyone else?

Dad discharged and went back home. We thought he will regain his hopes and spirit. But luck is not on his side. He volunteered to check-in into hospital as he felt very uncomfortable, last week.

He told us that he very likely will not have the chance to go back home this time.

He had given up his hope and spirit to fight.

He told me his last wishes and words.

I can't fight back my tears anymore this time.

I promised him I will make sure his wishes come true and I will be taking good care of mom.

I punched the wall so hard almost bleed to stop myself crying as I wanted to speak to him with my clear voice.

As my tears strolling down the cheeks, I said: Daddy, I will take good care of my mom. We will not blame you for giving up to fight. You are in pain, and I understand. It is ok to let go. We respect your decision. But let God decide your faith. Live your day to the fullest. If tomorrow morning you wake up and see us, remember to thank God that you have earn another day from Him.

But the following day, doctor gave him a last hope to survive. That is to try a new innovation of medical assistance that may help him to prolong his life span. I hate all this!! I sweared and sweared. Doctor always try to give the patient highest hope but in the end, everything will be crash into pieces.

Again, luck is not on my dad side!

His body rejected the medical assistance.

Again his last hope for survival tarnished!

He cried.

He said: Gone...my last hope gone...

Argh! I almost want to kill the doctor.

I rather he never ever mention any new medical assistance that provide him hopes!

Nevertheless, my dad will never regain his trueself again.

He will never fight for his survival.

But he is not in pain right now and everything seems back to normal.
Although the entire family know that this will not last long.

God, can you please take him away only after he celebrating his daughter's wedding and welcoming his first grandchild?

That is my wish for him.

*Fingers crossed*

Now, my mind is full of his memories when he was still healthy and pink.
I miss the day he waited me in his car, talking to me on the phone, joking with me, having dinner with family or even arguing with me.

Every footstep i take to his ward is full of these memories.

My tears stroll down uncontrollable everytime I think about that.

Daddy, I will always love you.
And I promise, I will be daddy's girl for the rest of my life.

If one day you really leave us, please never look back.
Get on with your new world.
We do not want you to be burden with our tears.
Let the responsibility of taking care the family lies on my hand.
I will always be there for mommy.

All I gotta say, cherish your life 24-7.
I hope this will be the only sad ending to the rest of the world.
Create health awareness, and pray that cancer will have a cure to it in future.

Clinging onto the memories

I’ve been in the same relationship for almost 3 years and to be exact 3 years on Sept, 17.

Just a blink of an eye, we reach the 3rd year of our relationship.

I still can remember how we started, argued, fought, cried and laughed.

I was listening to the radio during lunch hour and sudden flashback of our memories crossed my mind. That was because Jacky’s Cheung song. The song was talking about how close two persons are but their feelings were far apart. It was a sad love song but that reminded me on how we started so far apart and after almost 3 years we were walking closely to another chapter of our lives.

Not talking about marriage of course! I’m referring to the quarter of our life span! LOL!

Our relationship it’s kind of different compare to the ‘commoners’. LOL

That because, we spent most of our time together. From staying in the same house, sleeping on the same bed 24-7! There were times when I felt as if I’m suffocating due to his presence. As I’m the only child of the family, I am so used to be alone in my room and drowning into my dreams. But with his presence, I hardly have the chance to do so. That was how I felt at the beginning of the relationship.

As days goes by, I am getting used to his 24-7 presence. I begin to share my day life at work with him every day. As we are not sociable during weekdays, we dine together almost every night. And my family responsibilities slowly become his. As a couple we are physically and emotionally dependent on each other. As a ‘family’, my family too become dependent and treats his presence as part of their lives too. We seldom date. That is because I’m personally a very lazy person. I quit clubbing ages ago as I think my monies deserve other entertainment than this. I am not a movie person as I prefer watching television programmes and drama series. So we cut out most of our outdoor activities. In addition to my ACCA tutorials in weekend, our weekend agenda focuses on rest and relax at home.

Then we shifted our attention to online game. Thus, besides sleeping and TV time, we spend most of our time in front of the monitor. He invested on my desktop so that he can play with the best effect (which the desktop become his now!) and myself on the laptop.

So that’s basically how we spend most of our time since the beginning 2008. And fortunately, we are both from the same industry. That’s make an easy conversation with him. Our conversation usually started with day at work, stupid clients and demanding dummy bosses. Then switch to the latest happenings on the online game we both addicted with. And…and…nothing much.
Sound kind of sad yet it is the truth. We do not share the same gang of friends, so we definitely do not have friend’s topics to talk about. The worst is, most of the time I am the one doing the talking. As he is a quiet person so he prefers listening more than talking.

Though I sounded as if I’m complaining on his quietness yet I’m still ok with that because I am a talkative person. And I can keep on talking at a nonstop speed. LOL
But no matter how I love doing the talking, of course I do feel tired too. I would like to be the one who is listening rather than talk. Though I did highlight to him my dissatisfaction, yet he still could not ‘evolve’ himself to a talkative human! Nothing much can be done except to accept him.
However, the above is not so much of a trouble to me. What I’m afraid of, is happening.
Slowly, I find myself over attached to him. I have tried my best to remind myself over and over again to have at least a millimetre width wide to keep a distance so that if something bad happen, we still can rescue ourselves from a severe heart break.

But that is not happening and really driving me nuts thinking about it! People say because he is the one for you that’s why you will give everything inclusive every brain cells of yours thinking about him and for his bests. I’m not refusing to believe he may be the one in my life but I’m just trying to save myself from the worst moment. What if we will break up one day and giving yourself to him now will definitely a suicide act when we broke up. I do not even dare to think of how my heart will ache if that’s happening! I’ve tried that once. And I am not going to put myself at such risk again. So as I grow up, I am learning to love myself more. If you do not love yourself, do you really think that somebody out there will love you? It may sound selfish to some people but, I’m trying to be realistic! That’s life and human being is selfish in nature.

Well, maybe I’m overly concern on such abstract fixation. It may or may not happen. I’m killing my brain cells worrying for nothing.

I’m physically not attractive, so what happen if an attractive woman comes in between? This is even more devastating than anything ever. Keeping fit and attractive is the worst thing a woman would want to do. As in nature, our eye-catching moment does not last long.

In addition, I’m not a dutiful girlfriend. My package does not come with soft spoken and stable emotion. I’m an emotion freak!

That is why I always ensure I’m not giving my ‘all’ to him as to avoid the latter happened. I really am not strong enough for second outbreak.

Though he repetitively saying he will not let such incident to happen, but do we know what will happened in future?

But we can be arguing for such topic over and over again. So, we tried to sparkle our dull weekend with movies and luncheon like every couple does.

Last weekend, we went for bowling and movie @ MV, titled Money Not Enough by Singapore production. I thought that was a comedy movie so that it can be an ice breaking for our date! Yet, I picked the wrong movie. Its comedy element was covered by most of the hard cold realities pictured in the movie. But the bowling was good. Filled with laughter. Cheers!!

Should keep up such good activities.

What should we do next weekend?

Life and death is unpredictable and is beyond our control

I received a bad news from chewy family last weekend.
Copper the cheerful golden retriver had left us.
I've searched high and low for his picture. But sadly to say, I do not have one.
Gosh. I'm going to miss him so much.
I still remember how he showed off his toys to me everytime I'm there.
Rest in peace, dear Copper.
I know you will always be there for the family and friends!

I am so attached to the animals emotionally.
Even though I did not spent a lots of time with him, but when I heard that bad news, my tears just automatically strolled down my cheeks.
I could not imagine what would have been towards the family when that happened.

Came to think about it, what am I suppose to do when my beloved pet leaves me?
I think I will suffer severe depression.
I will cry and cry and cry for my baby.

Life and death is unpredictable and is beyond our control.
A very simple sentence and understandable to everyone, yet it is too hard to accept the meaning lies within the words.

My dad's sickness had actually fastened his life cycle.
He is thin and weak.
No longer the tough man he is used to.
The sadness and disappointment in his eyes tell me that he is hopeless to control his fate.
I hope God will spear me sympathy.
I had lost my beloved grandparents when I was young and unable to provide them with a better living.
Please do not repeat the same fate to my dad.
I need to give him a better living or else I will live my life with disappointment.
And my beloved baby.
I know he is just a rabbit and nothing much he can do to his life, but he is the one to be there for me when I laugh and cry.

Not now God.
Please spare me some sympathy.

Amen~~~

Blogging Imsonia!


Gosh! I can't help myself to afk (away from keyboard) for long. I need to constantly updating my blog!


That's what we call Blogging Imsonia. Also in Chinese said '3 minute hot temperature'.


Wa beh tahan..Have to let the public know more about my life!

So been pretty active in taking pictures nowadays. No matter where I am and what I'm doing!


These days were the 'off-peak' period for us in office. As seniors, no matter how free your schedule is, you are still coax up with bundle of work. And as at this period of time, all back-log jobs are the favourites comers! Surprisingly, we are damn free this year. And we got to hang out in another department doing different kind of stuffs.




That's pretty cool at first, as we start traveling out of office again (which is what we like about it so much!) But when the clock tickling and days past, the work that we were assisting was too boring to do. I really can not imagine myself spending the rest of service period in this company doing such mundane, unexciting and non-challenge work! Worse than consoling zillions of companies in a group and computing deferred taxation.

So out of my 'boring-nes', I caught the struggle head in action:



That's KZ scratching her head! Argh!


OY: KZ, I'm tired and boring. Can I go home?



Due to the boring-nes and our speed of work :), we manage to go home early that day. But no matter how early, we were still caught in the traffic for almost 2 hours!

There gone my fuel and time.


Before pen off, I uploaded my mug shot too! LOL :)






Man! Puffy eyes! Dark circles! Double chin! Uneven skin tone! Wrinkles

My 25th Birthday Bash!

LOL :)
This post is kind of ‘old’. Already September, and now I am only posting my 25th birthday bash! Sound ridiculous right? My life is really hectic with work and families.
Things are not getting any better around the family these days. Dad is not getting any better from his sickness and he is getting skinner and skinner as days past.

Back in March, I still remember writing down details on how am I going to celebrate my coming 25th bash :P But as days past, moving out my house to an old house, jobs with deadline to rush and notes to study, that was really a struggle for me to go through. So when that day came, I decided to make it plain and easy, without troubling my dad to go out for dinner. I did not even mention anything about my birthday to him. That was because I did not want him to feel bad of not sharing the happy moments with me as he is just too weak for any outdoor activities.

When that day came, I decided to call the girls and boys out for dinner at Italiannes. Needless to say, not all turn up (as expected). But I’m really happy that EeWa rush all the way from Bangsar to join us as long hours journey from SG back KL, was really tiring. If for me, for sure I’ll say no! And second surprise was Daphne!!! The one who always missing in action with her various version of excuses (JOKING :p) and of course, tribute to all of my girls and their partners to dine and celebrate my 25th bash!

The dinner was a very decent dinner which filled with chomps and chumps and laughter (of course). If Albert read this, round of applause for his ‘birthday act’ that he performed. It was hilarious and gosh! Rachel’s face was so red (paiseh!)

Then thanks to Pek Zhan & partner and Koh Yee to drop by and your wishes!!

After dinner, we moved to Laundry for few round of shots. Well, I am not going to elaborate further on what had happened as the public who has access to Facebook and see those pictures tagged by crazy EeWa and Chew, had already made obvious statement on that.
Too much alcohol that caused such hilarious, out of my mind and stupid decision!!
I will not forgive myself for such’ exposure’. :(

Even though the party ended not the way I wanted, I still want to thank for all of my girls patronage and wishes and the Gift!

Big Thank U to Chewy, Yiling and Pik Cik, Mervyn, Rachel and Albert, Jane and Husband!

Ta – da...all of your good monies went into these:-



Sorry friends! I am not a good photographer (yet!). The best picture I can get. And most important, the cleanest time! So, if I am going to take the picture at current condition, which will be an embarrassment to me. I get the drawer and mirror from the monies you girls sponsored.
As I previously said, I will be (if possible) organising a house warming party after I have settle down in this house. But my dad condition is not getting better and visitors are not really welcome by him. So, I’m sorry girls. There will not be any house warming party anymore, but I promise once my dad condition improves, I will try (is possible) to organising a BBQ party! Fingers crossed!

The second part of my 25th celebration with him was not a big surprise like I had with him last 2 years. I am not complaining here. I’m just making a statement, a description. But, I am happy that after 2 years and now coming to 3rd one, he is still with me and no sign of losing the grip (yet). I am truly blessed with his care and love.
Again, he is spending a fortune on me. What I’m saying here is we are from mid-class working class (get my sentence?). I repeat. Mid-class working class! Paying portion of your salary to get something which is not an essential item, always need second thought!

Yet, he made his decision to get me the ring. That was a total surprise to me because I already mentioned, advised, and even instructed him to treat me for buffet in Jogoya will do. I want him to save up money for my next LV bag of course! But with the ring, he still treated me the buffet.

Awww...blessed...and happy...

Hope to stay this way 24-7 :)

Now, I am worrying. What to get for him for his 25th? :x
