My precious BuBu

As I posted earlier, I will be updating my blog after weeks of delay during CHRISTMAS day!
Goosh..sounded soooooo lonely and pathetic.
Decided to tribute this post for my beloved BuBu as he chomps down the carrots from the highland.

After the chomping, I managed to get a snap of him laying off and enjoying a full tummy of fresh carrots.

Well, when it is time to bed for the human, we have to lock him up. But he was too smart for a bunny, we had to block his cage entrance with big object or else, he will be freely wandering the house.

Why I said so, please take a look at the following video. That explains it all.

Cameron Highland (2d1n trip..so tiring)

The originate of this trip was from AiLing's idea.
Was merely a normal msn chat that she mentioned to go on holiday with her family to Cameron in conjunction with the Haji public holidays.
I was thinking, why don't I bring my mommy for 2days 1night trip? She will be thrill!
After much hesitation by her and my boyfriend and hassle of finding the hotel stay there.
We finally get it through the plan.

AiLing's family was very early that they reach my place sharp at 6something in the morning.
Then we, brought them for the most famous Jln Ipoh dimsum.
Was in the wee hours in the morning, I hardly take any bites there.
My stomach still in sleeping mode.
After the breakfast..off we go!

My mom did a very good job of trying to avoid me for dozing off while driving.
She kept talking all the way from the dim sum place till we reached the resting area for toilet break till we reach Simpang Pulai until we reach Cameron Highland - highest peak - Brinchang.
The drive from Simpang Pulai to Cameron was ok. The roads were wider and I feel comfortable driving. So driving up is totally recommended using this new route - Simpang Pulai. But this route takes 30-45mins longer than the Tapah's one. But if you are a carefull and coward driver like me, I really recommended you using Simpang Pulai.

When we reached the peak, we were amazed by how cold the weather was and crowded the highland was. It seems the whole Ipoh and KL peeps were camping there.

Due to my researches about nice food in the highland and even driving to the wrong town, we managed to get a bite and refreshment from this cafe. It was recommended by all websites regarding the highland.
The name of the cafe: T Cafe. Situated just along Starbucks (the only Starbucks in town)
They serve the best scones. Sorry lar was too busy chomping down the scones. So I got the menu list instead. LOL

The chicken chop ordered by my BF. The souce is GOOD!

Tasteless onion soup. Not a good pick
Weirdest taste lagsana. Not my thing!
After fulfilling our stomach, and unable to check in to hotel, we decided to drive around the area and we make it to a moderate size cactus park. Here we cam whoring the beautiful flowers and scenes as much as we can. The following are some nice shots. With excellent lighting and posing. Fierce!
Rather 'new' colour for our Hibiscus

That's my mom. She aint looking at the camera!

Some flowers pictures snapping
Colourful CACTUS!

Ah...Lavender.....

Mickey Mouse Cactus +_+

Me and mommy

I think this is ODD.....=_=

The weather wasn't good for a walk during our visit, but that did not STOP us for doing the market shopping spree! When it was about time to check in, we rushed back to the hotel. We stayed in Century Pine Hotel and situated at Tanah Rata. Since I booked through an agent website rather than directly to the hotel management, I was not worried of getting no room as I had paid 10% deposit on my room rate. But surprisingly, the rooms that I booked were all full and there was NO room for me! With hesitation, the manager had to exchange a suite for my deluxe room. At peak season like this, the suit cost RM560 per night. But I was only charged RM200++ for my deluxe. Of course with the same rate of a deluxe room, my family is staying the suite instead! Wohohoho...Was darn excited getting into the room.

The living hall

A staircase in the room!

A door that separated the upper and lower floor

Staircase leading into the bedroom

Aww..the western european attic feel

A HUGE bed

After a nap, we went to the local night market for another round of shopping. The rain was soaking us and the cold wind almost kill us. Then, we headed to hunt our dinner. The restaurants were all crowded so we really did not know which to pick. So we end up trying the Cameron Highland Steamboat restaurant. The taste of the soup is good. But consider at average rating.

After the dinner only we realised there was a restaurant serving organic vegetables steamboat named: Blue Mountain. Should try this instead. Anyway, too late to say so.

We tried the 'yin yang' soup. Original and Tomyam. FYI, TomYam the best in such cold weather!

AiLing and BF busy steamboat-ing

Was a real tiring night for me, the driver, decision maker and banker. Before I called it a night, managed to snap the vege and fruits I bought from the market.

Those were for my BuBu

Huge radish! Only costs me RM2.50

Red ripe STRAWBERRIES

The next morning, we enjoyed our breakfast at hotel which served continental and local breakfast in buffet style. Erm, I am not fond over buffet, so just get my stomach fulled after scramble eggs, toast, corn flakes, fruits and orange juice. I am totally over the buffet. The food taste moderate too but the coffee sucks! As I am a caffeine addict, I am sure if I did not take the dose for the day, I will be at no fit position to drive (well, serious eh?) So, we walked to the Starbucks to get some there.

As we walked......


And as we walked....

And as we still walking...

Geez, we still need to checkout no matter how I love the cool wind and environment here. So, before leaving the hotel, we snapped more pics.

B-L-U-E Christmas Tree? I prefer the tradition one though.

Before, leaving the highland, we dropped by the WaterCress Valley. That's water cress. I prefer it in soup!

We used the same route back to Simpang Pulai. The road going down is KILLING Me! The gradiant is too steep for a nervous geek driver like me. So this make a BIG NO for me to drive down if I am given the second chance. I think I did hear the drivers at the back cursing me for being a snail. And I think I ruined my BF car too. The brake pedal must be finished!

As we touched the ground safe and sound, we decided to get some Ipoh famous Chicken Rice before ending our trip. Thanks to Agnes direction, we managed to get to this place. Crowded and the food I rated it above average. The umph given to the rice they serve. Fabulous. Lou Wong Tauge Ayam Restoran.

Nice tender chicken. Taste good.

How can we missed the bean sprouts!

I had two bowls of rice with that chicken and bean sprouts. Yummy! I was so worn out driving down from the highland and I need carbs and sugar to get my attention back on the track. (Lame excuses for a Pig)

Anyway, from there we really end our trip.

It was really tiring for me, and I think same goes to AiLing...

Just can't wait for the next trip.. :P

Lyrics contribution from KP

We soooooooo into Christmas celebration...
Thanks to KP for her contribution on the second part of our song:

U better not shout,
U better not cry,
U better not scared,
I'm telling you why..
Boss is on his way back to town.....DAMN

He knows when u r chatting..
He knows when u r surfing...
He knows when u r 'snake-ing' time..
So work hard for BONUS sake..HEY!

How issit?
LOL

Christmas AHEAD!

Yes..being so near to my used to be GALA celebration which fill with food, gifts, champange, laughter and joy..this year is a total DOOM!

In order to make up to my losses I'm still getting use to, I had asked the whole TA (only MCAs to be exact) to my house for a small gathering. Since the Chinese 'pantang' disallowed me to visit other people home, I left with no choice to have mine at home. Though I really hesistated to do so. Come to think of getting the food done, tidying up the house and making sure my bubu not giving me any headache!

Geez...was kinda regret having that gathering at first. But we did have a good time and food was rated at average and worth the price.

Anyway, I will get the post done ASAP. And my Cameron Trip.
Geez..I promise..will get it done during my doom Christmas Holiday.

Aiyor..sounded so sad. I am suppose to celebrate my Christmas by blogging lonely at home..
Aih..I miss celebration and parties!!!

I am miserable.
I miss all the celebration and joy but I hate that at the same time.
Maybe is due to my loss.
I miss him being the driver and taking us for Christmas dinner.
I miss him when I am lost and seeking for a human map.
I miss his nagging over me for not cleaning up the house and keeping it tidy.
I still miss him.

Hmmmph...Maybe it's too hard.
Too hard to forget.
Will try my best to keep the memories alive yet stop mourning about my loss.

OK..Let's do something fun.
Was up to work this morning, and while I was driving.
This song popped up.
And I do think the lyrics are COOL.
My boss being away for almost 20days for his long year end vacation, will be back to Msia by today. Finger crossed he will suffers jet lag for being up on air for 20 + hours so that I will only be seeing him after Christmas holiday.
Dear Santa, that is my Christmas wish.

So a song specially for all TA members:

You better not shout,
You better not cry,
You better not scared,
I'm telling you why....
Boss is on his way back to town...DAMN!

Wuhahahahahah
Wuhahahahahah
Wuhahahahahah
WUhahahhahaha

I am so near to EXPLODE!

YES! I am soooo near to explode!
Chances will be given until Friday 9 o'clock in the morning.
Question here is, am I a good example to actually highlight the issue?
So far, I've been keeping up to the records and no silly mistakes was done.
Blogs are done at home and posted in the morning before work starts / after work / at home.
MSN..only when it is necessary.
So, am I fit enough to stand firm on the ground and warn them to put a stop of their obnoxious and irrespect behaviours?
Darn..how I wish I have an answer to that?
Why is so darn hard to stick by the rules?
Is this the new culture every youngsters are trying to develope and taken over the more discipline and multi tasking US?

Well, to tell you all straight, you people had ruined your performance!
Trying to impress me is the hardest thing to do on earth and messing with me is the last thing you wish you would have try to.
To regain your credibility, better kiss my feet!
Please, why can't you at least put an effort to try and impress the boss?
Why is it so hard to do so?
Just be honest and responsible and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!
If you all from wealthy family and money is the last thing you care in you life?
You are so wrong honey!
I am from the same back ground and money is also the last thing on earth I would want to care.
Yet, I am working so hard to gain my reputation and credibility among the rest.
So please do think twice who is the boss here!

Grrr.....verbal warning will be the last option before I approaching the higher level to obtain a written warning...
Oooo..I just can't wait for that to happen.

Pray hard honey.
Pray hard.

we Missed the Yong Tau Foo!

Damn we missed it again!
The crowd was superficial!
The cars were all packed up along side of the road.
We end up having the same stall.
Urgh!!!
This eventually drives up the whole team motivation to give it another chance the next time we crave for Yong Tau Foo..
We MUST do it!!!
A BIG MUST!!

A brand NEW look

Was too caught up with my stress and disagreement with someone @ office today.
I think I am over exploited by my BOSS.
He had been stuffing work into my to-do list and I suppose to enjoy my ThanksGiving but was dedicated to work..Then I thought I can make it up for coming Christmas.
Hell NO!
Before he depart from the town, he still enjoying loading more burden onto my shoulder.
What the heck?
It is so unfair to me and my team!
Yet, I did not dare to open my mouth and say NO!
Wtf?
Damn...
So being no mood in my boring email replying and schedule planning work, I can't help but grunt inside my heart!
And this behaviour is absolutely bad for health.
I am suffering severe gastric and exhaustion.
Argh!
Then I think, what the heck?
I need to do something to stop my anger coming out of my mind!
So, was browsing through some information just now..But, I was reading some Bursa news instead! Man...I was suppose to ease my anger and cool down my tense! What am I doing reading some work related news!???
Who Cares I read and being over efficient about my work????
Idiotic!
Thus, I add another blog entry and change the look of my beloved BLOG!

ahhhhh...it did make me feel better!

A cheap dinner of four @ LiJin - Pavillion KL

Yes, another food feast trip with the girls yesterday night.
Girls night out dinner + bitching about other people's life.
This time, the location was LiJin - Pavillion KL.
A fine dining Chinese cuisine. Sound expensive.
But there was this Peking Duck promotion at RM28 for the WHOLE duck!
Which is cool for everyone of us!
We ordered the duck of course. Then the skin was wrap with some spring roll thing and we had the thigh for cold dish. The meat was fried with noodles.
Then we had the water spinach soup and toufu.

We means - Jane Yiling Chew and ME.....

What can I say about the food..? The taste just moderate. If is not because of the promotion, I will have to think twice fine dining in this restaurant. After all the food feast I got myself into, with newly bought insurances and renewal of car road tax and insurance..I almost need to declare bankcrupty for this month! Luckily I'm still Mommy girl....Mommy paying for the insurance....weeheee...No lar...company is paying for it...Just trying to give a wrong perception to you all!

But that night was great. Instead of bitching, we also had lots of women talk.
Yeah, we are women d..No longer girls jor..
That is like so SAD!
Anyway, I appreciate sharing my thoughts and feelings with my beloved friends.
I love them for who they are and I know they love me too!
I can't think I will able to find true friends like them anymore.
A memorable night. I think we can have it monthly. To catch up with each other life.

The bill for the night just about RM98.80. Nice numbers!
So we shared equally and only RM25 per pax. (we round in up ler..we are not that kiasu to count the cents too!)
Btw, want to specially dedicated the following to dear friends:

Life still have to go on no matter what and who is fucking around us..
I know is always easy to say than do..But, you still have to clench your teeth and hold your fist to get yourself out of that ass hole..LOL..so, just need to remember, you still have a bunch of friends that are willing to share your joy and tears!

Kamsiah ah peng yew!!!
Wo ai ni men!!!

Anyway, no pictures taken as I did not want to look like a idiot in a fine dining restaurant holding a camera and flashing the light around.
I'm Datin Ling not a papparazi!
And I don't need to whore around with my camera..
I have my own actual and sufficient supply to whore!

hmm...maybe is my preference. I prefer my blog filled with words.
Writing is always something I love to do for 'my-time'..

Hope my writing is improving after so many posts!
Btw, we are going to have a luncheon in the Yong Tau Foo stall AGAIN. But this is the other more famous one...Oooo can't wait...

Our first time Lunch outside MIHARJA!

Uploaded some pictures when we had our lunch in Jln Peel famous "Yong Tau Foo":-
Our Siew Sergeant - wiping her mouth after delicous meal

Sick Prince couldnt drink the cup directly - he has to do it by sucking the straw. Germs according to our servants. Sick Prince is like that, easily to fall sick!


Our Cold Princess sipping through her herbal tea while browsing her mobile

Can you guess how many pieces of Yong Tau Foo we ate? We had 4 pax that day. 27 pieces in total. Geng!

I did not take much pictures ler..were too busy with the food. Definitely is a YES for second and third and zillion times again!

We are looking forward for more luncheon opportunity which is OUTSIDE Miharja area. Can't wait for next Friday!!

Well, we can only have 'illegal' longer lunch period on Fridays, as bosses always not around in office on that specific day. But, guess while my boss away from town for > 3 weeks , we can do it EVERYDAY! WAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAH

I am a NASTY manager!
