Coppeliasm

Revival of Coppeliasm

2011-06-28T08:09:00.000+08:00

It has been almost 2 years since I last blogged; Coppeliasm is just like an abandon land with the growing grass. Now I'm back in action; with more juicy updates and you guys will see the other lights of me I believe. Not that I have not been revealing the true self of Kelly but this time around I will be bolder in expressing myself; after all I am me, ain't no one will set the limit but myself.
First update, which I believe most of you are aware of, I have finally quit N2N; the job which I have been hanging on for the last 2 years. Looking back, I have learned a great deal especially from the big boss. No matter how valuable the job experience I gained, it can never compare to the loss of quality time to spend with family and friends. This job is just too emotionally draining and it suck up all my energy; that at the end of the day all I ever wanted is a good night sleep(did I mention that I have nightmares of client coming after me practically everyday?). I stop communicating with ppl around, and I couldn't be bothered to care for the loves one cuz I'm just too tired or jaded I would say? Thank God I left, and the new job is a new chapter of my life altogether. Will post more bout this in the coming entries.
2nd update will be I am QUITTING smoking for real this time. I mean it; this for myself, my own benefits. I know I have said this many times but I will make sure I have this KPI achieve. Its been almost one week plus, and my will power is getting stronger and stronger each day. I can accompany my smoker colleagues socializing without taking a puff. Power ehh? Let's hope this will stay; please pray for me :)
I guess that's all for now mates, more to come. For those whose wondering why I am kinda MIA from FB, well you will see more of me here; specially for the closer group of friends which care enough for me and take note of my existence. Oktksbai!!

Really ar?

You Are Confident and Dominant

You are a very independent, do it yourself kind of person. You've had to rely on yourself.

You know how to be strong for yourself and the people you love. You have a protective streak.

You sometimes come off as a little assertive. You know what you want, and you're not afraid to go get it.

The only thing you require from people is that they're straight with you. You are ready for the truth.

Today was one of my saddest moment, facing something which I foresee this quite sometime back. Though I know it will come, but when this hit me, I can't control my emotion. I just lose my grip. I guess you're right, you have to be cruel to be kind. Thanks for being so kind to me, I really appreciate this.

Now will be the last time I'm gonna dwell on this, and I mean it.

Quote of the day *Finally I have learned the hard way when to try harder and when to walk away*

LEO and VIRGO = Power Combo

2009-10-17T22:11:00.001+08:00

It is known that people which born under the sign of LEO tends to be pompous, patronizing, bossy and dogmatic, while for VIRGO, he/she tends to be fussy, a worrier, overcritical, harsh, and conservative
So what do you get when you combined both? That’s ME, Kelly Lee, cuz so happen my birth date sometimes falls at the end of LEO and beginning of VIRGO. Disaster isn’t it? For those who know me well enough, I’m sure the traits mentioned above is SO ME sometimes rite? Dun have to lie ok, we are kawan baik, so you better tell me the truth ok… keke
Sometimes when my life hit the rock bottom, I will keep running to ppl around me to whine, nag and complain. I get various advices from all of u but somehow being the typical me, I’m kinda stubborn you see (I know you’re nodding your head now lo). Though before I asked you guys for the next action step, I already know what I’m gonna do next and what I really want, just that I need some assurance from you guys that you will still support me no matter what. I think I will have you guys to hold my hands when I fall rite?
Ahhh… it’s just another painful struggle between heart and mind and guess wot? Usually your heart WIN.

Let’s pray for the next Saturday’s session. *Turn to Mei Li, I know I should not expect so much but somehow I can’t help it lo ok… *sigh*

PS: ATTN to Raymond Chong, this is the reply to your VIRGO post keke

想念是会呼吸的痛

2009-10-11T19:37:00.002+08:00

Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye,
Remember me
Once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that
Once again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free
If you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me,
We never said our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea,
but if you still can remember,
stop and think of me
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen
don't think about the things
which might have been
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and resigned
Imagine me try too hard
to put you from my mind,
Recall those days,
look back all those times,
Think of the things
we'll never do
There'll be never a day
when I won't think of you

Can anyone guess where's this taken from? Guess.... faster guess hehe

In search for PICKLED PLUM

2009-09-30T22:19:00.002+08:00

Fruit Basket is one of my all time favourite anime and there’s one of the quote which engrave in my mind deeply. In one of the scene, Tohru Honda made a remark to Kyo Kun that there is an umeboshi (pickled plum) on your back. It was believed that everyone is an ONIGIRI and with different flavor of umeboshi, which is stuck on their back. Umeboshi in an onigiri is like someone's good qualities stuck to their back. You may not see your own umeboshi except the people around you cuz it is so visible to them, and sometimes that’s what make you stand out from the rest, a unique person which no one can replace.
Throughout 27 years, I have encountered hundreds of people, and I am glad that I found quite a numbers of you, my favourite onigiri. You guys know who you are!! My days are filled with happiness and blessing and I am delighted that I will always have you guys to fall my back on when things hit the rock bottom and also to share my happy moments. I HEART YOU ALL!!

PS: To this special friend, I do wonder what kind of ONIGIRI I am to YOU? Sometimes I wish I really can read what’s running through your mind? Is it true that I know you way better than anyone else that you know of?

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt!!

2009-07-11T18:33:00.002+08:00

Read through few of my previous post, realize I was quite bitter back then. With all the remarks I made on other ppl when things did not seems to go the way I expected, is not something pleasant. A friend of mine, reminded me that WHO am I to judge others when I am less perfect? This make me ponder, since when I have become someone which likes to pass judgment on ppl around me? Since when I have become a hateful person, and this hateful habit is slowly creeping in me without me realizing that I am slowly pushing the love ones away?
There are moment when I realize who matters, who never did, and who always will. I am glad that they still stick with me, no matter what I did or said or sometimes when I show them the hidden part of not so nice side. I guess it's true people change all the times, and as time flies we will slowly discover flaws and it is up to me entirely, should I accept that as part of who they are instead of judging them. I guess it's time for me to change too, I should not make a big fuss out of everything and accept things with a huge heart, just like they how they love me for who I am. I know I've done quite a numbers of wrong thing, and let's hope I will do something right this time.

PS: Eeekkk... why I become so emo suddenly?

Where's my exuberance sword?

2009-06-16T14:19:00.002+08:00

I am simply at lost of words. Today I finally come to a point that I will not plant any hope anymore, not this time around. Perhaps I have hanged around way too long, and it is not worth my time at all. Or I was too strong headed to think that things will change if I handle this differently, and apparently it will never be. I am not saying this out of anger, but this is the truth which I have to acknowledge. Prolly I don’t belong here in the first place, no matter how hard I tried to fit in. My motivation has run dry and I don’t see the passion anymore. The way things run around here is taking its toll and I’m kinda jaded. Since yesterday, I practically have to drag myself outta bed, not feeling the enthusiastic to conquer the challenges that fall upon me anymore.
As the old sayin “Accept what can’t be change, and change what you can’t accept”. And seriously I really can’t do this anymore. I guess it is a sign from God that I should move on from my current position.

2009-05-23T15:49:00.009+08:00

bout me

1) I output 2 to 3 times a day.
2) Can be quite temperamental at times
3) I think I like my job despite I whine, nag and complain about it all the times
4) I am currently addicted to the black soya powder drinks and cereal drinks which I
bought from a vegetarian shop near my home. My sis thinks that I'm totally nuts
and ala ala organic
5) Avoid dinner at all cause but still manage to gain weight... *sigh* I am no
longer the stay skinny Kelly which consume 6 full meals a day
6) Secretly wish that I am taller
7) I need a dream catcher
8) I can be quite ignorant or should I say stubborn at times, knowingly that there
are certain things which need to be done, or said but I choose the easy way out
9) I hate people which is not punctual and yet I am late for appointments and
hangouts with my friends
10) I hate it when my phone rings now cuz it was not something good, it gotta be
some disaster calls from client which I need to solve immediately

In conclusion, my life is pretty much lame and boring. I need a new direction. Any suggestions?

The continuation to CODE

2009-05-18T22:21:00.005+08:00

Ever since Da Vinci Code, I have been praying, hoping and waiting for them to roll Angels & Demons. FY can’t join us cuz she watched it on Thursday *darn* and Jacy can’t join us cuz she’s afraid of scary movie (she thought so, derived from the movie title keke) and only opt for cartoons *sigh* And Ivy can’t join cuz she’s busy with work, poor gal.

So I have no choice but to drag CJ and Loubei aka Loubei for our usual movie outings. I just hope that the movie version is as good as the book. While waiting for the late night movie (no choice lo since it’s all fully booked) we decided to crash over to Kim Gary to yumchar first.

As usual Raymond is late lo, and by the time he arrive, he sat down and get busy with his phone. He said it’s something important he has to deal with, but I suspect it could be someone hehehe

Trying to look normal

No, I am not fat as claimed by CJ

Handsome or not?

While Loubei & CJ put me on their VIP (very ignored person)list and this is me busy with self entertaining, camwhoring.

After few serious shot, CJ suggest for some farnee shots. Here you go:

Trying to look cute look of Loubei & CJ

Me trying to plant a big smooch on Loubei (He's my cousin wei... what were you thinking... !@$%^)

CJ’s trying to look cute, which makes him look yummy that Loubei is…..

Me and my YES sign

Though they claimed they are hingdai of DN5, somehow I can feel that CJ has this special things for Loubei *wonders*

VERDICT on Angels & Demons: Yup, it's all good. Am looking forward for the release of The Lost Symbol on September 2009 *Hopeful eyes*

PS: Do you know that, Angels & Demons was written before The Da Vinci Code?

It's a small world after all!!

2009-04-22T12:07:00.007+08:00

Have you ever deliberate what sort impression or mark that you’d like to leave behind when you leave a company/organization? Some may think it doesn’t matter how their soon-to-be-ex-colleague think of them as they are going to be ex-colleague anyway. Am I right?
You’re so wrong if you think it’s alright to be Bitch of all Bitches on the very last few weeks of employment. Well, from my experience (not like I have been working for ages but heck, this is my 4th years since I entered working work and currently attached to the 3rd job) I think it’s vital to keep all in good condition, no matter how you can’t wait to get out of there because you might never know when they will become your colleague or boss again in the next employment *Jeng jeng jeng jeng* Does this ring a bell to you?
Well not like I am encouraging you to be two face but… I always belief that in *There’s no eternal enemy or eternal friends* So why bother to switch on the BITCH MODE and keep grudges towards the unfavorable people that you worked with when you know someday you might bump into them again and who knows, it is their turn to turn your life into HELL.
Enough of babbling here, just a thought from my heart. And for those which think that colleague can never be Friends, I can prove you wrong. That’s because I found Jenn - my best friend, and other great pals while I was working.

Me and Jenn *Best friend foreva* - known Jenn for 10 yrs ++ via summer break part time @ SoxWorld

Me & Joanne - get to know Joanne via summer break part time @ TOPSHOP. She's in England now, can't wait for her to be back

Me & Pheng - my ex manager @ Marcus Evans. Did I mentioned that we shared the same burfday, as in same day same month and same year?

Me & Chloe - ex colleagues from HSBC.
She's secretly known as Siu Moh Kwai (Lil Monster) to me and Fabian kekeke so now it's not a secret anymore

Me & Mei Li - she's my ex colleague from Marcus Evans and so happen she's Chloe's good friends. Small world eh??

3D at PD

2009-04-21T15:06:00.009+08:00

It’s almost 8 years since Me, Jacy, Ady and Flubear known each other. We hang out every day during college times and though we have entered the working world, we will still meet up as often as we can. But but but…. though we are like so BFF, but we have never gone to any vacation trip before. So we thought that it will be good to go for one, and we decided to start with the local location before venture into other region.

So on the Easter week, we book ourselves a 3D (Drink, drunk, drown) trip at Avillion PD to celebrate Jacy’s burfday and AD’s special announcement day. As each of us are kinda busy, we will only checked in for one night. Arrival time: 4.30pm Saturday

Our water chalet. Nice kan?

Ady CHOP her bed first (Actually she’s quite kiasu though she acknowledge that she’s only KIASU when shopping)

Our liquor… (it’s only 2 bottles shown here, we have another 3 bottles hiding)

Though it’s still early, but we got shit loads of liquors, so we decided to start the drinking session early. Cheers to our friendship, many more years to come!!!

FluBear with BearHead (this BearHead belong to Flubear actually)

Jacy aka THE EVIL TWINS to KLEE (Yes, she's the evil one)

Jacy with BearHead

Heading out for Dinner

After the snacking and drinking session, we went to SeaView Restaurant for dinner. Food there is alright, but we expected more lo, will give it a 6/10 la. Then we went hunting for Vanilla IceCream to go with Kahlua. The whole nite was purely drinking and dishing on each others dirty lil secret. Kekeke…. Now I know more of Jacy, FluBear and Ady’s secret hehehe need to know more? Bribe me ok? The next day we woke up at 1o something for our breakfast and walk around the villa. We packed and head to Seremban for the Siew Pao before going back to KL. If you been to Seremban, you might agree with us, that the road there is quite confusing lo, which we got lost. But luckily we manage to find our way to the famous Siew Pao factory. After the siew pao session, we have to head back, so sad as the Monday Blue disease slowly creeping in d.

Kekeke We didn’t take much pictures cuz we were too busy drinking :P

Adios for now. Am planning another trip now, most likely will go Boracay, Phlippines…

Spring in Cosmopolitan?

2009-04-01T11:13:00.017+08:00

Oooo I'm back!! Hehe... Yes, I was here 6 months ago. HK is a total heaven when it comes to shopping, I don't mind even if I have to live on bread and plain water after the visit, . *Evil Grin* This time around, me and PangSaiFong decided to visit HK during spring, as the weather is more cooling. It's a shopping trip (purely shopping ok), hence it's only 4 of us (Lynned, Fionna, PangSaiFong and Me)

1st morning: Breakfast session (why am I looking elsewhere one? I wonder if there's any lengchai at the THAT direction?)

The CHEONG FUN and Pork Porridge *yummy*

Us again *outside the toilet* doin the LOOK AT US pose (PS: Don't ask me why, we like doing this)

Us again after shopping (This is only partial bits of our shopping items)

After a long, tiring day, we decided to eat Cheh Chai Min.

Superbly friendly Cheh Chai Min Aunty

Cheh Chai Min - you actually can choose which noodle and 3 dish you would like to go with *super yummy*

The next morning, tot it was superbly yau ying to wear a sundress ok..

Obviously we will need to go for Dim Sum la, since we are here d rite?

Shiny and oily egg yolk *Yummy*

Though we eat quite alot, we still go for 2nd round of yumchar breakfast because we want more of Yuen Yeung and Lai Cha before heading back to kl lo and it's still too early to shop as most of the shop here open at 10 something or 11.

My leg was super aching and I practically crawl all the way, but the moment when I'm near this stall hor, I immediately became Dash of Incredible cartoon lo *Smelly Toufu*

I like this superb huge bag, so cute rite?

Klee in leggings and crocs *super cute rite* I actually have no choice but to wear leggings with this crocs (my ballet flat abit cacat d) as the weather is abit chilling and I do not want to perform the Marilyn Monroe stunt lo.

We have more pics, but it's still stored in Lynned's camera. Trust me, there's more farnee and interesting pics there which I can't wait for Lynned to load it so I can share with you all lo. That's all for now!! Adioss

Kle3 look-a-like?

2009-03-12T10:06:00.002+08:00

Hmmm....ok, of all of the above, I think I like me being alike as Lucy Liu.... What do you think?

2009-03-11T10:17:00.003+08:00

I find it amusing how

Some people still hanging out with the person she/he dislikes and keep bitching about how much they hated him/her
Some people which trapped in THE POT IS CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK, keep bitching about someone else which is actually true of himself/herself
Some people start hating him/her because he/she goes against everything he/she ever believes in, and try to change him/her, becoming someone like them. If these fails, she/he will persuade others to reject him/her because any norm which goes beyond his/her norm is weird and unacceptable
Human can be so SELFISH, and they expected you to give it all and should not expect anything in return
Enemies can become friends again someday, despite it’s something impossible but it does happen
How friendships fade without you even knowing it
People can be so deceiving though they look truthful and honest

hmmmm… the art of living

Here we go again!!!

2009-01-24T19:02:00.006+08:00

What a way to start 2009….Tutu is injured again. I am now devastated, upset and felt so sorry what I’ve done to TUTU. SIGH X 10

This is what you should expect when LULU drive TUTU. Apparently, my uncle nicknamed me LULU when he found out about the BUKIT BINTANG and first day of collecting TUTU incidents. Am I jinxed or it’s TUTU jinxed? I have no idea, am simply lost of words. I will not explain what happened, don’t see the point of elaborate them here. Soon enough, I think COPPELIASM will be full of MISFORTUNATE OF TUTU posts. There goes all my CNY plans. And worse I can only get things fix on the 8th day of CNY when the workshop reopen. I can't drive without side mirror, which means I will need to hop onto RAPID KL again to get to work SIGH X 100

Super short!!!!

2009-01-19T09:20:00.003+08:00

Hello..... It's just one week away from CNY and I decided dat I need to get rid of my SOH HAT YI (beggar SOH)'s look. Hence I went for a haircut last Saturday. I thought of snipping my fringe and go for the blunt fringe, something like the barbie china doll style... And the hairstylist told me from the bottom of his heart that the style I wanted will not suits me (actually he meant that it will looks ugly on me) *sniff sniff* so honest rite?
So he told me he will try to some cut which suitable for my face shape (What do he mean? Is he trying to indicate that I am FAT? %^&*$) He promised me that he won't chop off much, but as he slowly cutting and chopping, he manage to chopped off 6 inch. 6 inch ok??????? I almost fainted lo... *Sigh* I miss my long hair.... *sob sob*

Klee - just got back from salon. Hair is super straight. *I heart*

Klee - Post salon effect. It's all curl and wavy now *Sob sob*

Can someone help me?????????????????????

Things I NEED or I WANT?

2009-01-08T16:55:00.008+08:00

Saw this gadget when I was shopping for my toiletries supply at WATSON the other day. I am so tempted to get one myself. Who knows I might have some fats hidden in my hearts, lungs or arteries rite? So,,, I think it’s not too much if I get one rite? Please advise…. Lolx…

Happy Week

2009-01-08T09:48:00.003+08:00

Why I said so? Things are looking good so far, I think at least.

Firstly, I have send out quite a few invitations and I manage to secure few appointments, good news or what? Please pray for me ok, hopefully this will go through *Grin*

I went out dinner with Pheng last nite and got home around 10pm. I was quite tired and all I think of is to get my shower and dive into my bed to meet Mr. CHOW KUNG. As I was going through all the letters, I saw an envelope from World Vision. Did I mentioned that I have adopted a baby boy from Xin Jiang recently? Hmmm... I thought it could be some notification of the latest events organize by WV. The moment I strip open the envelope, I saw some formal letter and a piece of letter in some kind of language, together with the translated version. Oh my gosh, my god son wrote me a letter, the first ever letter from him. Wow... it's nice to hear from him. I know this letter could be written by his parent cuz he's only 4 years old [by the way, I have a copy of his photo, and he is so cute lo] . He ended the letter with " I will write to you personally one day when I learn to write. According to VW, kids over there will start their school session at age 7. Am looking forward for that day, somehow this got me all hype up. I do look forward for the day when I get to meet him in person*Grin* By the way, what should I reply neh?

Yes I am quite PREDICTABLE - Last weekend...

2009-01-05T14:31:00.004+08:00

Hello… Happy 2009 everyone. I hope you all had a blast, like I did. Well not like I am all over KL partying last week, but I did have a great new year, am looking forward to 2009, I think this year will be a better year for me.
For NEW YEAR EVE, I had a final family dinner for 2008 with my family as my sis mentioned that we should have dinner with Pa and Ma before partying with our friends (I think she mean her friends la since I am not going clubbing or partying in any clubs @ KL anyway) So we decided to head down to Sri Petaling for steamboat. The food is nice and all of us got back at 10 something. So I had my shower [mandi kerbau] because I smell like salt fish with all the steamboat smell lo and ...
I am suppose to crash over Josie’s house party but I decided to FFK last minute [Sorry Josie] because:
a) I am quite lost when I look at the map given
b) I am still very lost when I look at the directions from GOOGLE MAP
c) I scared I might end up going to Seremban or Malacca if I take the wrong turning (as I get lost quite easily, and YES I am quite BIMBO when it comes to remembering route)
d) I think I can locate Bukit Gasing house easily as I have been to Kishen’s house one time and I know PJ quite well
Thus I have decided to crash Bern’s party lo (And again sorry Josie) Though I am quite pro (self acclaimed) when it comes to PJ road, I eventually got LOST when I turned into Bukit Gasing lo. I called Kishen few times to ask for directions and yet I still ended up lost in that area SIGH X 4. I am like a child which got lost in the shopping mall, crying for Mummy and Daddy and I was so determine (or should I said stubborn) not to call Kishen again cuz I need to save face abit. Somehow I manage to reach Kishen’s place safely. But guess HOW? Wif special escort from the Police Patrol Car (Don’t laugh when you see this ok) I was like going here and turning there, and end up getting lost in other area, but Im quite lucky to bump into a patrol car, which they are kind enough to show me the way. So nice kan?
I mean how many ppl actually does that rite?[Yes this will only applicable to BIMBO lo] Plus Bern got panicked cuz she thought that The POLICE came to raid the party.
LOLX….
And I went to meet up with Lou Bei (aka RUBY) cousin bro for a new year YumChar session. End up eatting like a pig *sigh*... People said we need to do something nice on the new year, as apparently it will signify a good start, and thus good year ahead wo. I guess I will be eating like a pig for the whole 2009? (Gosh, there goes my diet plan/resolution) And I got stuck at the TRAFFIC JAM for almost 30mins lo [it's only 2km of distance to reach my house] because THE POLICE decided to check on the drivers and passengers to ensure they have their seatbelts on, because they warned us before that the seatbelts is A MUST for back passengers from the 1st of Jan 2009 [Because the clock just struck 12 am ma, so it's considered as 1st of January lo]. I thought Singaporean is super kiasu, and now I guess our POLICE have adopted the kiasuness from S'pore recently when it comes to distributing offence tics.

I've started the year 2009 so super exciting, I think there's more to come for the rest of 2009 *GRIN*

Coppeliasm: The mission to heart of MYTHO

2008-12-26T16:45:00.002+08:00

Quite a number of ppl asked me what is Coppeliasm all about? Hmmm…. It’s actually formulated from the word COPPELIA. I know some of you might ask, what the hell is COPPELIA la? Well Coppelia is a sentimental comic ballet, which this debut is the last ballet of the romantic era. I have not seen this ballet theme on stage though, which I hope one day I can afford to see one someday. I get to know about Coppelia when I accidentally browse through YouTube and I got quite fond of this masterpiece. Farnee rite? After that I watched an anime called Princess Tutu (for the storyline of this anime, you may go to this PAGE), which I totally fell in love with the story. One of the episodes reflects on a character, name Pique/Pike is hypnotized in Mythos's presence and begins dancing the puppet-like. The song plays in the background was taken from Coppélia’s theme song - Waltz of the Dolls.
Since then I have adopt to this nickname Tutu, which explains why I named my car Tutu, and I even use TUTU as the nick name in the computer games character.

PS: Btw, if you wonder what Tutu is, Tutu is a skirt worn as a costume in a ballet performance. So for you, which makes fun of the name TUTU as KUTU, you better watch out!!! Lolx *Evil grin*

Tra La La La La.....2009 Here I Come

2008-12-26T16:09:00.002+08:00

Merry Christmas to all!! Hope you all had a great one. This Christmas was nothing extraordinary but somehow it’s a peaceful on for me. Had a Xmas dinner with Ivy, FYing and Rachel, as it’s been awhile since I last met up with them? Sometimes I do get angry with myself though, why I did not make more effort to keep in touch with the gang. I guess it’s time for me to make effort rather than waiting for their invitation. In spite of everything, there’s a saying that FATE get us get acquainted with the people around us and it is our CHOICE to keep the friendship going right? After all, it takes 2 to tango.
Okay, let’s stop the EMO confession. As year 2009 is approaching, I thought that it would be great to review my life for 2008. For the past one year, I have:

a) Gain approximate 6 kg, and manage to lose 2 kg, thus overall only gain 4 kg (YES I’m FAT)
b) Change my job (no regret though) after I took a long time to identify the career path I wanted
c) Shopping trip to HK with PF, Prema, Andy, WW, Angeline and Ric
d) Steer clear of THE VENOM FRIENDS (not like I have to put them on my list rite? who need friends like them when they will only consider me as friend when they could not find anyone or need a favor from me)
e) Same hairstyle for the one long year (I seriously need to head down to saloon soon, or else I will end up looking like a beggar – SOH HAT YEE’s sister lo)
f) Cut down on my NICOTINE intake (Yes I know some of you may comment that I should quit instead, but hey at least it’s a good start right?)
g) Got my driving license and a new car (power rite?)
h) Spend more time with my family
i) Forgive myself for some stupid mistakes I made in the past and moving on

Okay, wait a minute; some of the items above are exactly the same with the commitments that I pledged to commit for year 2006 Hmmm,,, apparently my aim got delayed for 2 years? Lolx… anyway, here’s my list for 2009:

a) QUIT nicotine completely (yes I know it sounds so impossible, and I have been talking bout it for years but will do it no matter what)
b) Earn more money for more holidays
c) Spend more time with my family and friends (what’s the point owning the world if you have no one to share your life with rite?)
d) Start dating again (sound so desperate eh? Btw, I did some browsing and I did discover some potential one ok )
e) Work harder (duh???)
f) To visit ChrisFung, Patricia and Joanne at London (Yes I have promised them that I will visits them since last year eh, time to realize them)
g) To own my very first pair of Jimmy Choo shoe (hmmm It may sound lame but hey, I have been wanting a pair of Jimmy Choo shoe for ages you know. It’s better to save up for a pair of JC shoe than spending them on something inappropriate rite?)
h) To lose 5 more kg (yes, it’s been awhile since I last fit into my jeans, so let’s hope I can do it soon)
i) To get new car rims for TUTU (im becoming like a GUY WHICH OBSSESED WITH THEIR CAR like person?)

So I hope I can, manage and will do whatever it takes to conclude whatever I have listed up above lo. Or else, it will become the repeat TO DO LIST for another year…. So, do smack the shit out of me if you think I am straying away from my goals ya!!

Adios!!

BTW, Happy New Year and hope you all will have a great year ahead in 2009 ok!!!

*Huggies*

PS: Hmmm I have a quite weird idea though, been thinking bout executing this idea for quite some time. Am thinking to feature some of the pics taken with the random stranger I met on the street or malls or office block. But first I will have to go out and hunt the potential model to pose first la of course. How does it sound like? Ok or not? Let’s hope I won’t get caught by police or smack lo ok? Ok or not?

Hunting Season.....

2008-12-17T10:44:00.010+08:00

Yes, I mean Hunting for Pressies.... The season is ON right now. We will be having our annual Xmas party this Friday, 19th December 2008. As part of the ritual, we are suppose to be someone’s Secret Santa, which we will need to get a gift and have it nicely wrapped under our XMAS tree. Okay…. It’s just 3 days away from the DINNER and I have not get a gift for my SANTEE *Biting finger nails* Please see image below, and there's more gift is expected to be in by noon OMG!!!! As you can see, under the tree is now filled with loads of gift Hmmm… OKAY I am freaking out now. Time to get my lazy ass out no matter what happens (Flash Floods or earth quake) to get something for my SANTEE.

Ooooo did I mentioned that my SANTEE is a gal? She’s the new Business Analyst from BA department. Lucky me, you know how people always said and think that it is easier to get a gift for FEMALE rather than MALE. YES IT”S TRUE ok. For gal, you can get something cute, girly and farnee like cartoon mug, deco stuff, jewelry, and so on….So I happen to hear from few of my colleagues that she fancy a pair of earrings (well she did put her wish on EMO’s status) from her SECRET SANTA. Hah… this is getting easier for me.

So, I went to Perlini’s Silver to check out what’s in store. After all we are given the limit of not less than RM 30. So it’s not nice to go to those aunty stall to get some cheapo stuff rite? After all it’s only once a year. TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…. Look what I got for my SANTEE….

Nice or not? (You must say yes though it may not) Saw few pair and most of them are quite KWA CHEONG or LEBIH I would say, thus I have settled for a simple and nice kind of earrings. Hopefully she will like it lo….

AND I still need to hunt for some lil gift for my colleagues (apparently it’s a tradition for gift exchange between Corporate Comm Dept and Sales wo.) Really scratch head rite? How come I know nothing about this tradition one? And to make it worse, I am all alone (ME, MYSELF and KELLY) in Corporate Comm dept lo (excluding my director la) *sigh* Sounds so sad rite? *thinking hard*

Don't you just hate it when....

2008-12-16T11:57:00.007+08:00

you login to your gmail early in the morning, super excited to find that

Wtf….. now Im officially barred from FB (aka MukaBuku ) and accessing GChat from GMAIL. *sigh* Well, I still can login to GCHat via our internal messenger - EMO (please see image below) Well, they said, it’s way more canggih if we can logon to our MSN, GCHAT and EMO in one application. BUT BUT BUT login via EMO means no privacy lo? Our IT guy will be able to detect, save, and screen through every conversation between me and my friends. Which they can also USE this to THREATEN, BULLY and MANIPULATE me whenever they want to (given the circumstances that they discover some VALUABLE info) You get what I mean ka? I feel so expose lo and NAKED. Now I know what's with the SMIRKED FACE (I know what you did last nite) of the IT Guy d.

Now I am quite EMO lo (just like the name of the Internal Messenger name)

SIGH X 4

Another Friday!!!! Phew

2008-12-01T10:24:00.008+08:00

It’s just another ordinary day; I was so hyper and looking forward for the weekend. Never come across my mind that it’s gonna be another doom day for me. While making my way back from client visit - Air Asia (site visit) to drop my colleague off, my car just switch off. And I thought it’s a minor problem, thus I restart TUTU and continue with my journey, heading back to office. It happen the 2nd time while I was stuck at Hang Tuah, and it took me 5 mins to restart TUTU again. Then I knew something was amiss and I called everyone to verify the next step should be taken. KS told me that I should check on my battery as it seems like car battery is not working well. Thus I thought it would be best to head back to office first to get my colleague’s help since it’s only about one km away rite? FYI, luck was not at my side, traffic was so bad that can barely move in every 5 mins, which I was stuck in a traffic jam for almost 40 mins at Bukit Bintang area. However Tutu thinks otherwise and decided to crawl dead, right in front of Central Plaza, where my previous company located. *Sigh* I was in the panic mode as all cars honked at me, thinking why am I stopping in the middle of the road, and the worse thing I could think of is, my emergency light is not working as well. *Sigh X 2* Cacat rite? Well, I can consider myself lucky that TUTU broke down right in front of Central Plaza, as I can’t think of anyone else that can to help me lo. So I called Kishen, and he was on leave, thus I called Bern to help me while waiting for TOW CAR to come. Bern and the gang (Josh, Cindy and all) came down to assist me to push TUTU to the side of the road, so SHE won’t be blocking other’s way. BTW, it was pouring that time too. Tell me, is God trying to tell me that I should not be driving at all? *SIGH X 4* Josh, Karyn, Cindy and Bern accompany me while waiting for TOW CAR’s arrival. (Thanks heaps guy for your support and help, I heart you all!!) So sad ok, TUTU is only one week old, and she have started to give me all sort of problem. Tell me how???????????????? What to do??????????????????

Trying to pull TUTU up *sigh*

Karyn, Klee and Josh

Tow Car guy is looking at US, wondering what on earth we are doing (camwhoring in the middle of the road)

Last Friday...

2008-11-24T11:30:00.006+08:00

Last Friday was a hypertension and an excited day for me. Why I say so? It was Drama Queen’s ROM. Here I would like to congrats the new Mr. & Mrs FanofWarrenBuffet. Another thing which got me all hype and nervous is me will get to collect Tutu (car) finally, after the long wait. Got a call from Lawrence, to throw me the good news “Can we go collect your car today at 2.30pm?”
I was like *WOW* and of course I will be glad rite? So Grace dropped me off at the Bangsar LRT station to meet up with Lawrence and which he will go accompany me to collect Tutu. I was like on heaven the moment I saw Tutu. I was on heel on that time, so I have no choice but to drive barefoot. After all, it is not advisable to drive with heel, especially for the new driver (new driver as in I just got my driving license?) So I crawl all the way back to Old Klang Road from Bangsar. So please forgive me if I ever create any congestion from Bangsar to Old Klang Road ya.
So the super excited me, suggested to my mum to go for dinner in Kuchai. Everything seems to be fine until I turn into the wrong turning, which leads me to a dead end. Normally, and usually we will have to do the 3 point turn to get out rite? The smart ass Klee, decided that she should do the reverse all the way stunt lo. And guess what, the next thing I heard was *bang* and I turn to look at my mum, and she was asking me *I think I heard some sound* Duh, of course there will be sound when you bang your car right? Sigh…. Poor Tutu, got injured on the first day and it’s solely due to the owner’s fault.
By the way, my mum giggled and throw me the *I told you so* (which she did advised me to do the 3 point turn but the ignorant Klee did not listen) look lo, which piss me off ok. And I was like so wanna pinch her that moment…I so need to send Tutu for facial soon ok?
My heart ache every time I look at the dented part (please see image)

Somewhere over the rainbow....

2008-11-19T08:40:00.003+08:00

See this pic? Was browsing through images on my hp and realize that I took them one year back, early in the morning when I was making my way to work. I find it amusing and the miracle thing is, it happens though there's no rain or what so ever before that... *hmmmm* An awesome phenomenon, I did make a wish though, advice from a friend but nothing happen leh… prolly next time I should wish harder eh?

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger

2008-11-18T13:36:00.003+08:00

Found this article from Atlanta Business Chronicle few months back, and I thought this might motivate myself abit... for those who are as lost as me, check this out...

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger
Atlanta Business Chronicle - by Connie Glaser
Are you resilient? No matter what kind of position you hold — from sales manager to CEO — in our economy and in today's work environment, professional disappointments are inevitable. Stock prices can (and do) plummet; key support personnel may routinely let you down; your division can unexpectedly be restructured. The possibilities for setbacks are endless. And the same goes for your personal life.
Unfortunately, some people are permanently scarred when bad things happen to them. It's as if they have accepted and absorbed the unplanned circumstances and, ultimately, chosen to surrender. Obviously, waving a white flag whenever things go wrong can seriously damage your career, as well as dilute your character. Some people regard that sort of giving up as the unfortunate adult equivalent of an out-of-control toddler's temper tantrum.
The next time you experience a career roadblock, it may help to remember that professional jolts — believe it or not — can actually be a good thing. Once you make up your mind to use a frustrating work experience as a tool that can give you a different perspective, you're well on your way to bouncing back big time.
Below are some catch phrases that might be considered clichés by those who choose to dwell on disappointment. But those who refuse to set aside their expectations because of an unfortunate obstacle or two will admit that the following tips can make the difference between a professional speed bump and a dead end. Those who have weathered scandal, setbacks, disappointments or disgrace know only too well that Nietzsche's advice to those in need of resilience was to remember that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
1. Are you overinvested in your career? If you remember to inject balance in your life, it will help to diminish the effects of a downturn in one particular area. If you have good relationships, activities outside of your workplace and some sort of spiritual influence in your life, then what happens at the office won't be the only thing on your mind.
2. Life will go on. Believe it or not, a professional disappointment does not cause the earth to stop rotating. The sun will rise tomorrow; Thanksgiving will still appear on the calendar, and each day, week, month and year provides the opportunity to turn things around and recover your lost professional peace of mind.
3. This, too, shall pass. When you're in the middle of a chaotic situation, it's difficult to imagine that life will ever be different, but it helps in both good times and bad to remember that change is the only thing you can really count on. It doesn't pay to get too exuberant when things are going well or to be too devastated when they're not.
4. Be proud of the attempt. Remember "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?" In the movie, Jack Nicholson had a wager that he could accomplish something that really was impossible. When he failed and others laughed at him, he was able to walk out of the room with his head held high because, as he put it, "Well, at least I tried."
5. Rewrite your goals. If you re-evaluate what is truly important to you or where you really want to be going, then whatever bad thing has happened might not seem so dire. It is OK to change direction in life.
6. List your lessons. If you weathered a rough patch in your career, it can be useful to take a step back and ask yourself what you've learned from the experience. Try to look at the circumstances and the individuals involved from an objective viewpoint. There is always something to be learned.
7. Lemons = Lemonade and Eggs = OmeletsThe French suggest that if you break an egg, you can make an omelet, and Americans urge people who find themselves with lemons to make lemonade. It may take a while to discover the possibilities of your disappointing circumstances, but something good is likely to be there.
8. Take the long view. It might seem as if your current situation is "The Worst." But, if you can detach yourself from what happened this year and think in terms of how important it is in the long run, it somehow dilutes the damage. Ask yourself the question "Will this matter 10 years from now?" when you're feeling particularly low, and it might give you a clean slate with which to evaluate what has happened to you.

Continuation to my first blog...

My old work station

My current work station

Can someone tell me what's the difference between both? I need a cubicle ok.... My current work station is TOO EMPTY, mostly due to the fact that I have no wall to hang my stuff. *sigh* I just can't help it but thought that my desk look so pathetic ... and now I gotta find a new home for Penelope and my other bear bear (btw which is still drowning in the bag as I have not unpack them yet since my last day at ME *ngek ngek ngek* ) *sigh*

Seeking for silver lining at times like this?

2008-09-09T14:12:00.027+08:00

It’s been ages since I update my blog, since I set it up like 7 months ago? I guess it’s time to pen down some of my thoughts. It's like living in a life of drama for the past 2 months for me.
Since September, I have

a) Resigned from Marcus Evans, the place where I called my 2nd home for the past 2 years
b) Went to HK (the cosmopolitan city where east meets west) for some shopping and food
munching
c) Started my new job at N2N Connect
d) Got my driving license (yes, finally after I delayed them for almost 9 years)

I thought that it is time to venture out of my comfort zone, doing something I long for and I might be able to discover some pleasant pleasure out there. And sad to say, I am back to square one again. Yes, I still believe that THIS PLACE does exist but not here, where I am now. I am much disappointed and regret to put myself in the current position. Well, I did not regret to move on, but moving on to the current arrangement? It’s a big NO NO NO.

Please god, give me some guide. What should I do now? Should I move on as soon as possible? Or should I hang on til things get better? This is something I need to know desperately. Any thoughts anyone?

Some of my favourite pics taken at HK:
