i am so slow.

got bored of korean dramas and at a lost of what HK dramas to watch. watched a few shows here and there but there wasn't one that i really enjoyed. till...i thought of FRIENDS. haha okays it made me laughed so much in a short period of time. definately something i need now..haha thumbs up :)

away from working life. a 1 week break before proper work starts. there are so many things i wanna say but somehow i can't seem to express anything properly.

work isn't all about a fixed 8hrs job. it's about the enjoyment and achievement that'll make each day fruitful. the last few weeks, i didn't mind the lots of ot-ing, the short lunch break or the pay. i was there to do my best for the job without regards for anything else. probably what was on my mind was all about how the small me can contribute as much as i can without making any careless mistake. i wonder what was the reason that drives me. i am not sure myself. at the end of it, i know i was happy.

had a short weekend getaway to melaka :) *smilez* i like backpacking! i like backpacking! stayed in a simple nice clean hostel luckily with no mosquitoes for that night. unfortunately, went during the wrong period of time and many tourist attractions wasn't open. afterall being in malaysia over hari raya wasn't a good choice..haha. explored on feet melaka city and circled it at least 3 times. small and buzzling with tourists indeed it is.

what i remembered most was the eating, eating and eating. ate every 3hrs trying out the various food that it is the highlight for the trip. lol. i realized i like to have everything planned properly, not adventurous enough to book the accommodation over in melaka and insisted on booking late online on fri night.

sat: left home at 5am after 2hrs of sleep and reached melaka city by 11am. lost while trying to find the hostel but found accomodation for the 2nd night and ate our first dish of nice beef noodles :) it wasn't too bad that we walked too far either. toured the city, sightsee a few landmarks, chengdo dessert. yummy. shopped, massaged, ate the famous chicken rice balls and walk ard chinatown before rain arrived.

sun: simple dim sum breakfast, a jap backpacker intro us to a nearby market, morning hike up to fortress, nonya laksa and dessert, zhi char lunch, shopping since many tourist attractions were closed, A&W-ed, secret recipe as teabreak, seafood dinner at a ulu place, stingray supper at chinatown. figured our way back hostel based on instincts. backpacking is definately fun. i love melaka, a small town. a simple and affordable way to spend a long weekend. working life is different, but it'll be a challenge worth going through with smiles. after a week break, i will be ready :)

PHOTOS UPDATE!
a bit slow, but really had to thank my bro and his fren for taking a day off his busy schedule for some outdoor photo shoot without anything in return. they may not be the best photos taken but we are all very contented with it.

Birthday Celebration 2009.

one of the few days i planned a day full of activities...*smilez* did a little more this year, maybe cos i am afraid once auditing starts, i wouldn't be able. hope you enjoyed it.

hightlighting some selective events for the day with photos. dinner at werner's oven! *smilez* yeah made a right choice for someone who loves german sausage.

only 2 candles? nopez...the rest of the 22 candles are...tata! here...
happy 24th birthday!

ended my job in standard chartered officially. it had been an excellent learning experience esp in meeting the people there. learnt a lot from boss, manager and their wealth of experience. i still have a long way to go in the corporate world. less than 1 more mth to go...now i don't want the day to come to start work...

sometimes selfishness arises from circumstances but the feeling of burden is heavy. maybe making right choices at the start would have been better. learning
