Finally, it reaches... reaching to the end of year 2008. I cannot believe that today is the last day of year 2008. It feels like I still have not done anything good enough to end my year 2008 chapter. Looking back at the past... hmm... good things happened to me... bad things happened to me... but one thing for sure is that I am glad that everything happened to me without me regreting it. Maybe few of them but still I can accept them... with a lil forces of course.. :p
Oh well... if only I could turn back time, I am going to make few changes in my life so that everything will end up perfectly... *perfectionist? Of course NOT!* Just the way I always want to be.. trying to make everything as good as it can be... yes, to avoid regretting later in time.
Why? Because I has been dissappointed with myself few times. It' s a promise to myself not to do something that I will regret in later time. This is why I always say yes to my friends whenever they need me. Chotomate!!! ... I mean only to certain people pls.. Yes, say whatever you want... "Shireen picks her friends"... "Shireen not sincere in making friends.."
* Look at my face* Do you think I care? hehe... trying to copy Mr. Bernard Thamboo, one of the lecturers in HICT.
I think the only new year resolution I am setting up for myself this year would be living my life to the fullest. Taking advantage of everything I have and putting myself a higher step in life. It's not career status I am talking about but my lifestyle. I want to live my life in a different way from tomorrow onwards. A more mature way I would say... *keeping my finger crossed*
I think I can't afford to live my life in the way it is now. I do not think I have the all time to try out everything and make a U-turn whenever there is a dead end at later time. At the age of mine.. (ahem ahem... not very old.. still sweet 21..lol) time is very crucial. I need to catch up whatever I has left behind before they are gone forever. Argh... time is really passing me very fast! I do not want to grow old so fast... sob sob... :(
Oh ya, I forgot to update what I has been doing the past five days holiday! Hmm... well, on Christmas day, I slept until 2pm after a tiring countdown celebration in KL. I woke up and helped my mum to prepare for the night party at my house (Eh.. only for my family and relatives lor... dun feel offended if I did not invite you.. hehe). I slept at 6.00am on the next day.. I was watching TVB drama, 'The seventh day'. It was NICE. I managed to finish watching 15 episodes on that day. Then I woke up at 11.00am and went to Wee Han's house to start our baking session. Yes, strawberry alaska merinque cake.... something like that lar... can't remember the actual name. The picture... hmm... it's not with me now. Maybe later! All I can say now is I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF! Hahaha... it was a success after one time of failure. Ahmm... maybe it was a lil too sweet.. but still IT WAS NICE lor... :)
I also went for a shopping spree on the Saturday with Wee Han.. I know I know... I has been mixing too much with this 'si kia'... *Corrupted already* It was a eight hours shopping trip... sakit kaki sial... We went to Queens Park, Cheras to buy my Esprit and MNG top. After that we went to Pavilion for window shopping..supposedly lar.. but I managed to get myself a pair of heel. Opps... forgot about the Indian cuisine.. we had our lunch at Spice Garden opposite Pavilion. I has been telling Wee Han about that place, and he is craving for it. What to do... two months pregnant man... have to bring him there. I am glad that he enjoyed himself with the Indian food... although both of us were having a 'good' times in the Pavilion toilet after that. I know.. such a waste, but what to do.. stomach wants to let them out.. I can't stop them! hahaha...
And the last two days of my holiday, I did not have much outing. I need to recharge myself after so much activities I involved in. What else other than sleeping! I enjoyed myself very much these few days... indeed was a great holiday break.
So, I am taking this opportunity to wish all my friends a very Happy New Year & All the best in the coming year 2009!
Love,
Shireen Ng @ the Princess... :p

Christmas Eve Celebration!
Let's talk about my Christmas' celebration.... It has been planned that we are going to Hard Rock Cafe for the Christmas eve dinner and hang in there until the countdown ends. Supposedly to be this plan..and wait..let me go until that part later as for now, let me begin my story from the night of 23th December 2008...
Because it is a Christmas's eve dinner, I would prefer to make everything so wonderful. So, I decided to dress myself for the celebration. I took out all my dresses... black..brown..orange..purple.. and finally I chose the purple one. At the same time, I was msn'ing with that siao wee han. He was suggesting red dress to me, which I do not have. Then he asked me to put on accessories such as silver or gold bangle, which I do not have too. I know... so shameful of me not to have accessories, especially when I am a woman! Oh pls... no rules saying woman must have accessories ok? So yes, I put the purple dress and some make up accessories into a paper bag. Then I headed to my bed to read my Cleo magazine. After 15 minutes, suddenly I decided to put off my decision to wear that purple dress. I took out and put the dress back into my closet. Don't ask me why, I just don't feel like wearing it... just like that. Unbalanced feeling and emotion.. oh woman!
So I put on a more smart casual attire for the eve's celebration. A black top with jean.. the usual Shireen ng. I was working on the Christmas eve..yes, for half day because I was rushing some works in the office. Funny part was when it was about 1.10pm, Victor came in and asked me to leave early if I want, and I replies him, "Sir, I am leaving now". And he was like, "Oh... ok.." with his usual big laugh. Oh sir! ... And Sean pick me up to Kexin's place. Oh ya, forgot to tell tat we are supposed to leave to Midvalley by KTM to meet up with Sue Ann. And the best thing was no one is free to drop us at the KTM station. Argh...I was cracking my head to find someone to send us there. And thanks to Lucas, he sent us there. That siao Kexin told him that I would help him in his studies as a return favour. Nonsenseeeee... Anyway, we waited for almost 30 minutes for the stupid KTM train to arrive. Imagine, making a Princess waited for 30 minutes.. The moment we stepped into the train, we saw Sasigala inside! What a coincidence! Because of tiredness, I did not talked much in the train but try to rest and sleep, which I did not have. To my surprise, the train arrived at Midvalley pretty fast..only took it around 35 minutes to reach there. We had our lunch there while waiting for Sue Ann to get over from work. For the first time, I did not do what I must do in Midvalley. I did not drink the Air mata kucing! Oh... I missed it because I was too full with my lunch.
We left to KL around 6.20pm and reached Concorde Hotel around 7.30pm. Yes, thanks to the traffic jam..ughh.. I hate traffic jam... Oh, Hard Rock Cafe was a nice place. I was glad that we made a right choice. So Sue Ann and Sean ordered the christmas' meal set, while the remaining three of us (me, kexin and robin) ordered ala carte food. I ordered 'herb grilled chicken breast' and mango juice for myself. While waiting, we were talking and I received lot of smses wishing me christmas wishes...and a call from Abu dhabi too. Yes, it was Jai. We talked for a few minutes before my food came. Wow.. quite a big portion and it smells good! I enjoyed myself with my food. Oh ya... how can I forgot about the gift exchange! Each of us bought a gift budgetted to RM 20 to be exchange during the dinner. So I bought Forero Rocher chocolate. I know it was the easiest and standard gift.... what can I do when I do not even have time to shop for others. So I got gift from Kexin, while Kexin got mine! Kexin bought a toy.. a duck with a moving head.. It's a solar energy moving duck, and the head is not moving up or down, but left and right! Hahaha...
We are supposed to stay back in Hard Rock Cafe for the countdown, but due to one reason, we have to change our plan. Basically the Hard Rock Cafe is only entering people aged 21 and above. And Robin and Kexin was underaged. So Sue Ann suggested to proceed to Maison. Maison is a club near the Asian Heritage Row. We reached Maison at 10.10pm. Imagine, reaching at a club so early! Ermm... quite pitiful but we got no place to go anyway. We sat in and started talking. More and more people started to join the crowd. And No, I did not enjoy myself at all. The crowd were basically youngsters or "seafood". It made me felt old inside. Gosh.. looks like I am more suitable to join the crowd that are aged 21 and above. I prefer MOS more to this Maison. And the Dj started mixing some songs while waiting for the countdown. "2 more minutes to Christmas... Come on girls, give me some noise!!"... Arhhhh.. The crowd started to get heated up."And here we goes... three..two...one...Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!!"
We left Maison and headed home at about 12.15am.. Guess what? We got stuck in traffic jam again when we were on our way back to Klang. It was impossible to stuck in jam at that hour. It was too early to leave a club. Apparently it was because of those stupid people that were doing their countdown around the bukit bintang area. People were everywhere holding their spray can in their hand and spraying every car and people that passed by. We got stucked in that jam for almost 1.5 hours. Totally insane! I got home at 2.30am... and there goes my Christmas eve celebration... a tiring day, but I did enjoyed my dinner very much.
Thanks friends for making my Christmas eve celebration a good one!

Shopping, shopping and shopping...
Oh... today is a tiring but yet exciting day. I am massaging my leg while writing this post. I need the Osim leg massage now.. aahhh... that would make my day. Today, I went shopping with two of my best friends, Christine and Jenny. It's been a while since we went shopping together. We departed from our place at 12.45pm. Actually it was supposed to be a 12.00pm starting time, but... as usual.. my friend, Jenny will sms me... "Wei Shireen.. I just bangun ler... Pick me up at .... and today it was 12.45pm...and also start thinking what to eat later" Buang masa I bangun at 11.00am today. Sial betul... Good thing was I managed to watch two episodes of the series How I met you mother. She was forgiven for this reason. Then we went to Port Klang to pick up Christine. The first question Jenny addressed to us, "Eh, eat what ar? Hungry liao ler..." Christine and me looked at her and started to say, " Bangun aje sudah hungry..tak guna betul! We who wake up at 11.00am also never complain hungry!"
We went to Klang town to have wantan mee. Not bad lar... although I was actually craving for Dimsum. We proceed to Midvalley after that. During our way to midvalley, we shared lot of stupid jokes and lame story. Erm... the traffic was not very bad but still jam.. due to those unprofessional driver that always trigger my anger button, as usual those bad words eventually came out from my mouth.. "!@#$%^&&* ". To my surprise, Christine said, "Eh siao po... you know when I was in singapore, I always miss you scolding bad words ler.. Eh..say few times more lar..I want to record them down so I can play when I miss them". Jenny and me looked at each other and started laughing. I told her it came out from my mouth randomly, I can't just say them out for her. Later on, I did tried to say them out for her, but it just didn't sounded right.. just lack of the shireenness essense in it.
When we reached there, my friends were quite amused with the Midvalley's christmas decoration. Yes, we had the cotton candy again today. And also the air mata kucing. The air mata kucing is a must thing to do in Midvalley. You can't leave Midvalley until you had that drink. The reason for this shopping trip is to buy christmas gift for my family. After walking for almost 3 hours, I managed to buy a bag for my second sister. Yes, only one bag after spending three hours there.. part of the reason why is because people were all around there. There are too many people in midvalley today. Damn.. I hate shopping when there are lot of people. I just can't see things properly. Then we rested our legs by having a teatime at one of the food booth. We had a currypuff and Taiwanese Shihlin XXL Crispy Chicken. It was more like a makan trip rather than shopping trip. Oh how can I forget this... We saw a cute guy in the Cold Storage today! He was passing across me and my friends. I was standing middle of the corridor and had to give way to him. Jenny slowly and gently patted me at my shoulder to give me signal. Without turning to her, I nodded my head to agree with what she is trying to tell me. Haha.. that was the special way of communication between jenny and me. Both of us always know what we are trying to tell each other. But seriously, that guy was really cute! We saw his brother too. Oh, even the brother was cute either. Haha... you can call us crazy horny women... but who doesn't.
After leaving midvalley, we proceed to Sunway pyramid. I know, woman loves shopping, but going to two malls in one day is killing me. My legs were so aching and pain. Quite lucky today, we managed to find our parking space easily. In Pyramid, Christine managed to buy two tops in Romp. This is what she normally do during shopping. She will choose those weird tops and ask us to try them on. Just for the sake of fun. I know that is very wuliao but that is Christine. I saw a nice male jacket that I wanted to buy as a gift for my brother, but he doesn't like it. I think my brother has problem in his fashion sense. People like him can't just get the right style to suit them up. Typical ah beng style! Tak boleh tahan... sigh... I was supposed to buy a top for new year. I went into this Oriental outlet in Marakesh.. this outlet was selling chinese wear, mostly cheongsam. Oh... beautifullllllll... I saw a few nice and beautiful cheongsam which I wanted to buy. However, because of less occasions that I can put them on, I killed my desire to buy one. I just love cheongsam.. wait.. I think I have a pic of me wearing a cheongsam... a cheongsam inherited from my mum..

Stop laughing there... I know I look like aunty with cheongsam on me. Eh.. at least I managed to be the first runner up in the HICT Miss Cheongsam competition.. hahaha... Back to my story, I managed to buy a shawl for my sister. A pink in color shawl.. nice! We left Pyramid at 10.00pm and we decided to go for steamboat for late dinner at Bukit Tinggi. This is the funniest part for today outing. After finishing all the steamboat ingredients/items (called them whatever you want to call them), we still feel hungry. Therefore Christine ordered another plate of fishball mee, fucuk and dumpling to add into the soup. Remember there were only three ingredients that we ordered. After it was cooked, Jenny was stirring around the pot to take out some foods from there and she said this...
Jenny: "hmm.. what else is there in the pot that I can eat?"
shireen: "What else you can have when we only order fucuk and fishball mee?"
Jenny gave me one kind of look when she turned to me. I just can't stop laughing for that. *even now when I was typing this down* The always blur Christine did not catch our jokes and we have to re-act the whole scene again...
Jenny: "hmm.. what else is there in the pot that I can eat?"
shireen: "What else you can have when we only order fucuk and fishball mee?"
Three of us laughed like siao po... especially me. I just can't stop laughing. Probably you would not understand with what I was trying to say or you don't get the jokes. It's ok.. I just wanted to write something on this blog of mine. I tell you... funny lady she was... Dahlah tau we only ordered three items, and yet she can happily stirring and talking like there were many items that she can choose from there... Hahaha... Gosh... I miss all this good moments together. Because of greedy, we did not managed to finish the whole thing. We returned the dumpling to the waiter. Lucky they accepted it, or else mati three of us. On the journey sending Christine back home, suddenly my stomach pain. "Ahhh...my stomach!", I shouted. The two siao po looked at me and said, "aiyo...why you shout so hiauly (chinese)". Damn it.. summo say I shouted hiauly.. I can feel something in stomach is trying to come out... lol... After dropping Christine, I speed home.. and there goes my foods into the Indah WAter... hahaha
I had a great day today. Always have fun with these two women around me.
P/s: Sorry WH for not making the yamcha session on tonite... lol

Cookies or Me?
A new skin...! Got into a lil troubles when looking for blog skin.. mm... I think I am a lil out from the IN world now.. I realized that things are changing rapidly now. If I were to miss that few moments, then that's it, "I am outdated". Need to catch up a lil for now, or else I am going to miss the IN thing. Alright, this skin might not be fabulous, but I like it. The three girls inside the pictures can symbolise me and my friends. Oh well, of course I am always the one with the famous pose. The hand and the waist pose. Yes wee han, that famous pose that you made me famous with.. thanks for that...
So what has happened to me in these few days? Ermm...let me think back. I was on leave on last Thursday. Yes, to bake cookies for the kids. Wee Han and me went to 2Ply in the afternoon to buy the baking ingredients. We bought butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips, bikarbonate powder, chocolate powder and eggs. What happened was we do not have the proper recipes. Some ingredients in the books were not available in the store. What we did was to replace that certain items with other ingredients that we think it will blend in nicely. Replacing golden granulated sugar with brown sugar, and also replacing castor sugar with normal sugar. Erm.. I know... that was very smart of us...thank you... Then after bought all the ingredients, we went to the dentist clinic. Why? Because of that Wee Han larrrr... He got a date with the doctor. Both of us were so hungry at the time. Still, Wee Han still need to wait until his name is called. While waiting, both of us were looking through the recipe books that Wee Han bought in MPH Fair. Gosh... all the food pictures inside the book made our stomach growling louder. HUNGRYYYYYYY... I felt like eating all the food in front of me.... chicken tikka... pasta.. spagetti.. ribs... cakes... gosh, really torturing during that time. Finally, we had Indian food for our late lunch. Nice!
Blah blah blah... and it's the time when we start to bake the cookies. Because it was our first time baking, we were a lil slow at first. We baked two types of cookies. One of them was the Vanilla Heart and the other was chocolate chip cookies. Erm.. the vanilla cookies was considered as 90% success, while the chocolate chip cookies was considered as 70% success. The reason why only 70% is because people gave us one kind of look when we offered them more. That expression "Uh... can I say no?" that quite disappoints us. I would not blame them because the chocolate chip cookies was quite hard. One has to like really bit them hard.. hahaha... This is what people always said.. "throw at people also can die arrrrrr". Actually that cookies considered ok already. That day when we baked the cookies, there was a batch of the cookies that actually got burnt. That batch of cookies was really very very hard! We found it difficult even to break them into two. Siao... only because of few minutes late. There pictures...wait...wait... let me see if I can upload them... It was a fun day.. there were many funny incidents that are not meant to be shared here.. lol... * stop giggling at there, wee han..you know why..lol*



Only three pictures to share. Better than nothing right... Ok.. The first picture is me, shireen ng.. of course... the princess... The second picture is the Vanilla cookies...nice right? We are very proud with it. Looks so professional.. nampaknya kita ada sikit bakat in baking... hehe.. And the last picture is the 70% success chocolate chip cookies. Erm... I know... do not looks impressive enough. What to do... there is always a first time. Our next target is to bake a chocolate cake! And also my strawberry ice cream cake...oh... how can one say no to strawberry.. Siao Wee Han... I dun care lor.. we must make the strawberry ice cream cake.. since we have one full packet of flour from Kamini.. * no toleration in this case*
And finale.. Thanks to Wee Han's parents for the wonderful dinner!
So what has happened to me in these few days? Ermm...let me think back. I was on leave on last Thursday. Yes, to bake cookies for the kids. Wee Han and me went to 2Ply in the afternoon to buy the baking ingredients. We bought butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips, bikarbonate powder, chocolate powder and eggs. What happened was we do not have the proper recipes. Some ingredients in the books were not available in the store. What we did was to replace that certain items with other ingredients that we think it will blend in nicely. Replacing golden granulated sugar with brown sugar, and also replacing castor sugar with normal sugar. Erm.. I know... that was very smart of us...thank you... Then after bought all the ingredients, we went to the dentist clinic. Why? Because of that Wee Han larrrr... He got a date with the doctor. Both of us were so hungry at the time. Still, Wee Han still need to wait until his name is called. While waiting, both of us were looking through the recipe books that Wee Han bought in MPH Fair. Gosh... all the food pictures inside the book made our stomach growling louder. HUNGRYYYYYYY... I felt like eating all the food in front of me.... chicken tikka... pasta.. spagetti.. ribs... cakes... gosh, really torturing during that time. Finally, we had Indian food for our late lunch. Nice!
Blah blah blah... and it's the time when we start to bake the cookies. Because it was our first time baking, we were a lil slow at first. We baked two types of cookies. One of them was the Vanilla Heart and the other was chocolate chip cookies. Erm.. the vanilla cookies was considered as 90% success, while the chocolate chip cookies was considered as 70% success. The reason why only 70% is because people gave us one kind of look when we offered them more. That expression "Uh... can I say no?" that quite disappoints us. I would not blame them because the chocolate chip cookies was quite hard. One has to like really bit them hard.. hahaha... This is what people always said.. "throw at people also can die arrrrrr". Actually that cookies considered ok already. That day when we baked the cookies, there was a batch of the cookies that actually got burnt. That batch of cookies was really very very hard! We found it difficult even to break them into two. Siao... only because of few minutes late. There pictures...wait...wait... let me see if I can upload them... It was a fun day.. there were many funny incidents that are not meant to be shared here.. lol... * stop giggling at there, wee han..you know why..lol*



Only three pictures to share. Better than nothing right... Ok.. The first picture is me, shireen ng.. of course... the princess... The second picture is the Vanilla cookies...nice right? We are very proud with it. Looks so professional.. nampaknya kita ada sikit bakat in baking... hehe.. And the last picture is the 70% success chocolate chip cookies. Erm... I know... do not looks impressive enough. What to do... there is always a first time. Our next target is to bake a chocolate cake! And also my strawberry ice cream cake...oh... how can one say no to strawberry.. Siao Wee Han... I dun care lor.. we must make the strawberry ice cream cake.. since we have one full packet of flour from Kamini.. * no toleration in this case*
And finale.. Thanks to Wee Han's parents for the wonderful dinner!

Everything is over now.. :)
Finally everything is over now... I can now rest and relax in my own sweet time and place. Last week has been a hectic week for me. I am working almost everyday, even on public holiday! Sigh... really was a tiring week for me. And also for Wee Han and Racheal. They were indeed resourcesful and good friends to work with. Luckily they were there for us when we seriously need help for the Education and Career Fair. I still remembered us waking early in the Friday morning and went to the market to buy all the stuff. Haha... the "ewwww and ughhh" kept repeating in our mouth. One sentence to describe us all... "the prince and princesses" who has been living in the palace for too long. Oh well, it's market.. what to expect more from there. Now that the Education Fair is over, I think I would say that the objective of this fair were somehow not fully achieved. It was not as good as what everyone has been expecting. But this is a good start for HICT. Let's see how this will brings HICT to another different dimension.

The reason why I exist?
Today I have attended a talk in my college by a guest of honor which I am not sure of his name, but I can say that he is inspiring and good. One of his questions was what the purpose of our existence is. Then I started to question myself, “What is the purpose of my existence?” I realized that I am blank. I do not know the reason why I exist in this world. Some people existed because they were destined to do good deeds to the world. Example would be Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Benjamin Franklin or maybe Albert Estein. They existed because they proved that they are worth to be existed. How about us, who are the ordinary one? Where we are not going to create a fame or good deed to the world, where we are not going to discover the earth gravity or create any extraordinary artwork worth millions of dollar? It is true that we, human only live for certain of time. We have limited time to do all that we want to do or live as how we like to be. I have seen lot of people strive to pursue their dreams and visions. I see people take lead of their life and do their best to create their fame or brand in this place called earth. This is how we get to know Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa or maybe Princess Diana. Some of them might not live today but we still know who they are. Their name is imprinted in everyone’s heart. They have a reason for their existence. How about me? This is the question that keeps me thinking all night long.
Yesterday, I went to the Jusco Bukit Tinggi to pick up my mum and sisters from their shopping spree. It was the Jusco’s member day where heavy discount were given out. So it won’t be surprised to see thousands of people were in there. I stand on the highest floor and looked down. I could see people rushing here and there to grab their wants. I could see people queuing up to make their payments. And it was already almost 11pm. Then I started to ask myself, “Don’t they have a better life? Why someone would get into the havoc and chaos just to get cheaper stuff?” Maybe that is their life. And now it makes me think that maybe some people just choose to live the way it is. That is the reason for their existence. Some people would choose to live their life the way it is. Studying, working, starts a family, go for holiday once a year, planning their retirement and anticipating their children to start their own family are the reasons why they existed. And when the time comes, they leave the earth just like that. After a few decades of years later, their existence might not be remembered anymore.
Some people choose a different of reason why they existed in this place called earth. They choose to educate others rather than just live for themselves. They reach out to the community to help the others. Of course they live for themselves. Just that the reason of their existence is not only for themselves, but also for others. This is why there are some people who reach out to the less fortunate places to educate them, help them and show them that they are worth to exist in place. Actually I do envy these people. I wish I were part of these people. I really respect those people who can let go everything and start a new life in a place that hardly have anything. I really wish I have the bravery and courage to do that. I used to spend my every Sunday morning at an orphanage home where I spent time with the kids. It was something that I wanted to do, but it never lasted long. After a few months, I quitted. Probably because I was not committed enough or maybe I lost the reason of what I did.
Why I exist in this world? What are the purposes or reasons of my existence? To be frank, I could not find a reason why. All I did in my life was studying, working and having fun. Some might say that my existence is to bring happiness to my family and friends. Is this the only reason why I exist? I am working in an education field. Some might say that I exist to help and guide the people to pursue their studies and lead them to a successful life. Is this the reason why I exist? Or maybe my existence is to bring happiness to a man that I am going to meet in future? Or maybe my existence is to fill in the missing piece of puzzle in a beautiful picture. I yet to see the real reason why I exist in this place called earth. I want a reason of my existence that can create a big impact on me and others as well. You can call me a big dreamer, but this is how I want it to be. The journey to find the reason of my existence might be far, but I know that one day will come eventually.

Preparation for open day!
It's been a while since the college's open day was organized. If I am not mistaken the previous one was during June or July. What different from previous one with the coming one is I am doing different task now. I am no longer sitting in the Bursary and doing the collection. This time I am getting involved in the preparation for the booth. Brandon and me went to the clothing shop to buy table cloth, went to the flower shop to buy ribbon and ballons, looking around to look for better ideas to decorate the booth. Then we sat down and started to discuss on how to make the booth an attractive one. Ideas come and go... I actually enjoyed myself. I love myself doing the planning part... then how to make my plan a success one... the implementation of my plan and watching my plan works with satisfactory inside me. And if it did not works, then I will watch with unsatisfactory inside me. I always like doing event. At a point of my life when I decided to step into event industry, people around me started to pull me out. Some of them said that I am not suitable to work in event industry because I am short temper and only giving instructions rather than listening. Some of them said event is not a clean industry. I might have to go out entertaining those clients. I was like "what? entertaining clients? I am just doing event". I do not know why those people said those un-motivated advice to me. Then later in time, one of my friend told me that if I really like this event thingy, I should go for it regardless what people said to me, as long as I know what I want in my life and my passion will break all through. Hmm... I know that by staying in education industry I am saved. Education is the industry that cannot die regardless what happen in the world. It's not that I do not like education industry, but just that I do not like the facts to sit in the office and doing administrative jobs. I feel that it is not myself. Unless I really decided to continue my master and become a lecturer one day. That idea might make me stay in education industry. Sometimes we just can't do whatever we want to do.
It's 1.45pm now and I still haven't got my lunch yet. Was a lil busy today. And the time passed quite fast for me today. It's a good sign! Haha... Few days ago, I got realised that I have been wasting lot of monies and times in my life. I have been wasting lot lot lot of monies and times on certain things and people around me. If not because of what happened last two days, I wouldn't have realised that I been spending monies like no one business. The amount of monies in my bank kept decreasing and it almost touches the par line. Then I started wondering where has all my monies gone. I couldn't find an answer to my question. At that moment, I felt a slap right to my cheek. Sigh... this is why from now onwards, I have to change. I need to go for a moderation lifestyle. I need to figure out ways to keep my bank figure increasing instead of decreasing. The more it decrease, the more my Canada trip will go away from me.. hahaha
Time for lunch! :)

The mood of Christmas!
Hurray! Finally it is December... Time for celebration! I always got very excited when December comes. This is because I am very much anticipating Christmas to come. For me, December is the starting of the year. Everything starts from the month of December. Maybe I am a Christian and Christmas resemble new year to me. When December arrives, I would normally hang around the malls on the weekend. I love the Christmas decorations serenaded with the christmas songs in the malls. The malls are the only places where I can feel the Christmas spirit. From Midvalley to Sunway Pyramid, from Sunway Pyramid to Starhill, from Starhill to KLCC and from KLCC to One Utama... So far still Midvalley impresses me the most. I still wonder what is the theme of their Christmas decoration this year.
Since the last Saturday, I have been decorating my office with the Christmas decoration. Oh well, because of no budget, what I can do was to use all the reycle color papers and posters to make the decoration. Erm... although it might not look the best, but at least there is some Christmas feel now. Hehe... moreover it was Shireen Ng who did that. So who dare to say it was not good enough. Trying to take few pictures now but my phone camera was not that intelligent enough to take some good shots. Maybe next time!
It's time to do some Christmas shopping now. I need to get myself a red stylish dress this year. I never boought any red color dress for Christmas before. Maybe this year is the time to change. I already saw one in the Curve. I am just waiting for weekend to come and the dress will be mine... hahaha... I also need to get everyone in my family a gift. A gift for exchange of course. I always tell everyone that I do not just give but I also must receive. There is always a giving and receiving in my dictionary :p
This year Christmas celebration will be just a nice and cosy dinner at one of the restaurants in KL. My friends and I will hang around KL area for the Christmas countdown. After a nice and good dinner, probably we will hang around in a nice lounge and spend some good time there. I was thinking of Sky Bar, but few of my friends said that it was not as good as what I want. Or maybe we will spend some time in Bangkok Jazz! Talking about Bangkok Jazz, there is a story to share tomorrow as for now I am getting ready to get home. Yes, meaning I have to go through the traffic jam and chaotic driving... sigh... :(
