Yes, sad to say that. After been using Xanga since my High School (2002 I think) time to blog until now, I decided to move to Blogger. Firstly, was because of the changes and it kinda lost most of my pictures and videos and audios. Then, I can no longer post video or any youtube stuff on my post. *sigh* I know it's quite sudden, but hey, at least I'm still blogging!!! ^^

Adios!!~ I will still visit here every now and then, maybe one day Xanga could be as flexible as it used to!
Luv,
*rachelle*

Alright! I'm back again, after a long weeks of hiatus. Getting ready for annual dinner, photography session for the souvenir programme book, dress fitting and the rehearsal. It's much tiring when I am sick and I had office chaos.

Ooooh well! Let's just get to the happy moments.

Final dress fitting!! Ok, the part where I'm able to fit it was nice, but going on a 2 weeks diet isn't very nice. =_="

Rehearsal on the night before the big day. When I'm having fever, nothing seems to be doing good. However, we managed to leave at 9pm and head back home for a rest.

Next day was an early start of 10am. Getting ready with the hairdo and makeup on.

Hairdo and Makeup - DONE! It's my first time war a red lippie, so, am still not getting used to it.

Selfie before going on standby.

Caught Jia Hong taking the door gift before I'm on standby for the welcoming of VVIPs.

Then, it's work time.........

Usherettes getting group picciess with Head of Public Affairs.

Managed to grab a few photos with my fellow colleagues of IAD before the grand entrance.

Then, it's show time!! (All I'm praying was not to trip and fall in front of 3000 people)

After that, every now and then, I will just run off for some photo session.

All my fellow colleagues!! Guess we've been through the ups and downs in our department so much, that we accidentally bonded. HAHAHA!! Keep it up guys!

Fellow Compliance Officers, whom practically is my 3rd family there. (As 2nd home will be Public Affairs - my part time job)

All my favourite auditees, except Mr. Annoying there.

My lovely cousin sister and her colleague, whom I use to irritate alot when I can't find my cousin sister.

End the night with lotsa group piccies with my 2nd family, staff of Public Affairs and pretty usherettes.

Tiring after I stand an hour plus up on the stage for the midnight draw. And only be able to go home at 2am. My flu kinda come back after the late and tiring night, but I guess it's just another night in Public Bank. Next event will be next year!! Hopefully I am still be able to attend it, as a guest and not to work! HAHAHA!! I always say that but I always got sold off by my boss. LIKE SERIOUSLY!

Next day, after the annual, I slept like whole day, and only woke up in the evening for dinner with my ex-MA team for a surprised birthday party for Yoe's Big 3! It's gonna be my next entry, so, wait up for it!
Luv,
*rachelle*

Miss out another day. Well, I decided to drive back to Penang after work on Friday, and it took me bloody 5 hours drive home!!!!~ @_@

Came back home really tired that I only managed to watch half of my episode 6, Pretty Little Liars (Season5), and head to bed.

Saturday was nothing but just lazing around with my Chic Lit (The Overnight Socialite) after brunch with mom. So here I am, supposed to work but I think I better finished off the last day of my trip. ^^

DAY 4

Is our final day in Kuta, Bali and we decided to pamper ourselves with a good long 5 hours spa after done some shopping! ^_^

 and shopping is much more awesome with GELATOS!

Febris Spa! 5 hours of Romance Spa (including dinner) cost RPH600,000 (almost equivalent to RM200) Seriously, it's not that expensive when you got an above average dinner and 5 hours spa with Balinese massage and Hot Stone massage. If you compare it with what you get in KL, *pfftttt*

 We can choose which flavour of scrub we want, Steph chose strawberry & I orange.

Had our welcome drink first before proceed with the foot bath.

    Getting ready for my spa time!

After the spa, we got our hair blown and pedicure!

Then, is our awesome dinner. Actually it's just a very simple dinner, but we were so hungry after all the relaxation and massage, we gabble up our food really fast.

Yeapz, that's the end of our short weekend getaway trip. As usual, I always complain that it's not enough. But hey!! I'll be back again next year! So no frust. ^_^

When we reached the airport and wanted to check-in, we actually wanna get Junho his souvenirs, which is his ticket. HAHAHA!! We ended up didn't check-in for him because we kinda afraid the airport management will keep on calling his name when it's time for boarding. We will get into really big trouble then. LOL!!~

Kuta Beach

Japonic Spa

That's all for my short trip! Now I need to book my facial appointment as I'm getting all the freckles in my face and body, thanks to the sun. ^_^ Need to do some disaster recovery before the annual dinner. Till next time! *hugz & kisses*
Luv,
*rachelle*

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay. Met up with Abby last night at Bukit Rimau. Haven't seen her in gosh, 4 years?? Well, she's back from Canada for the summer and we managed to arrange dinner and ice-cream together! *yey* Catching up with her never fails to entertain me with her life in Toronto. And I always said I wanna save enough money to visit her in Vancouver but still can't save enough and now she moves to Toronto. =(

Oooh well!! I hope I can do that soon before she moves back to Vancouver. ^_^

Let's begin with my Day 3 in Bali!!

We woke up slightly later and skipped hotel breakfast. Brought Steph to try Dog & Dragon Grill to try their awesome big breakkie! However, we walked like almost 1 hour to find this grill. It happened the last 2 times as well, cause it is so secluded. However, it is all worth it when we reached there! ^^

   (sipping, sipping, sipping - Pineapple juice!)

After a heavy brunch, we took a cab to go Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua. We wanted to watched Bali Eye Hot Air Balloon, but seems like it had moved to another country. So, we went Turtle Island instead. And the funkiest thing is................. WE GOT THE WHOLE BOAT TO OURSELVES!!!

Time to board the boat!!

Another sunny day with the sea. How I wish time can just stop at that moment.

Look Ma! I'm driving the boat!!!~ *weeeeeee*

  Yesh! Lotsa camwhore moments in the boat.

The whole trip costs us RPH350,000 (almost equivalent to RM120). But when we reached the Turtle Island, we donate for the 'save the turtles' charity fund.

Look how big and heavy are they!!!~

Then, there's some other animals too. One of them is the animal that I will never ever get close with!!!

 Yeapz, snakes! *urghhh*

 There's bat, where you can hold its legs and snap picciess with.....

  Iguana...

 Baby eagles.....

and the UBAH Bird!!! Actually I'm not sure is it called the Hornbill, as it is so much smaller than I thought.

 after everything, we gotta enjoy a nice chilled young coconut! *tasty*

Then, it was the epic part! We decided to visit this luxurious hotel, The Mulia. Somehow, it was guarded and we just went in thinking of checking out the price. *phewwwwww* 1 night per room cost USD300. @____@ But the whole place is awesome!! The have 3 places, The Mulia, Mulia Resorts, and Mulia Villa. In total of 5 swimming pools, excluding those personal pool in each villa. And they have very cool toilet bowl. ^_^ We just can't stop taking pictures and videos and please don't mind the selfies. =P

That's the short visitation to The Mulia, and thanks alot to one of the staff there, who actually talks to us a lot about the hotel and helps us to snap picciess. *arigatou gozaimashite* =)

We then went back to our hotel to get ready for dinner at Blue Fins Teppanyaki. Met up with Edwin and his ex-colleagues for dinner and clubbing at Sky Garden. Dinner was pricey but it's nice. I thought the portion is gonna be huge, so, Steph and I shared a set dinner, but apparently it serves really slow and we got farmished by waiting although the portion is actually small.

 We gotta wear our own apron!!

   Edwin got choosen to do some performance, and he obviously failed it. HAHAHA!

Well, better than me because I didn't do at all. I'm not a kitchen person! *duhhhh*

I totally forgot to take the rest of the food. Like I said, I was hungry and we kinda eat up everything and forgotten to snap a single pic of it.

Edwin, the bully!!! He just wanna so screw up the photos. *damnit*

Walked to Sky Garden and since there's 6 of us, we ordered a bottle of Wild Turkey 81, whiskey.

   Winn and his let's get drunk pose!

   And we begin to play some drinking games...

which I suspect the guys from our next table are gay, because once Steph and I go to the dance floor, they went and approached Edwin. Damnnnnnnnnn!!! We lost to him!!! *cishhhhh*

Eventhough there's some international DJ is spinning, we went to Rooftop with better crowd and music. Dance around, pop a few drinks, and got stepped over by Edwin, which leads to blue blacks all over my hands and legs. T____T|||

It's always the case when I go clubbing with him, blue blacks or ciggie marks. It's like I got tortured by some psycho.

We left around 3-ish with both the guys high as fark, and the 4 gurlz are sober. =___="

But it was so much fun meeting with Edwin they all there!! We even make a promise to come make Bali our annual trip, together with Serene and Jane next year!! *woooohooooo* What else can I asked for? ^_^

Alright, peepz! story telling time is reaching the end. I'm gonna call it a night. Gonna have a long drive back to Penang tomorrow after work, Hence, I need my beauty sleep now. Sweet dreamz, y'all!
Luv,
*rachelle*

Just as I promised! This is gonna be the Day 2 of my trip in Bali. Well, overall it's just another relaxing day. A girl gotta do what a girl gotta do, right? ^^

Day 2

After the night of my low blood pressure attack, I still managed to wake up for breakfast and start a brand new day at the beach!! *excited*

Had a light breakkie at the hotel just to make sure I don't feel any tummy upset at the beach after the alcohol.

After breakkie and we are all set for the beach!!

Walking to the beach, although it took us almost 30 minutes walk but it's all worth it!

Here we are!!!~

Sun, Sea, Sunnies, and a good Story Book!

The usual sausage photo with the wave. Yes, I am loving it! Every moment!

Although it was a gloomy day, but the wave is just nice for the surfers to do their thing. Nothing beats hot surfer with 6 pax doing their thing. ^^

After our nice sunbath, we decided to get some ice-creams and write some postcards to our besties! So, Sienn, Nicee & B - check your post box!

After all the long walk and sun, we decided to try the hotel's spa, Japonica Spa.

And we choose the couple's spa as it's a 3 hours spa for only RM100!!!!

Yes, it was an awesome and worthy the money spa (which includes a balinese massage, foot bath, body scrub, body polish, flower bath, and body lotion)

After spa, seafood dinner on the beach of Jimbaran.

Awesome place for sunset dinner, but we kinda miss the sunset already. But it's still nice for some candlelight dinner on the beach. ^^

We had lobsters! Everything taste nice even the super spicy vegetables. However, we didn't managed to finished the vege as it is really very spicy.

Next destination, Potato Head - for awesome view, nice sangria and chillout music for a relaxing night.

That's the end of the 2nd night, and this time it's Steph's turn to get dizzy, because we were fighting over the mango lemongrass sangria. The mango had absorbed the sangria and it taste superb.

Well, that's all for Day 2. We could do more things but I think we need a time-off from the busy city and not rush during our vacation. And do I need to mention this, "Do not asked me to come back soon", because I am enjoying my trip and do not wanna go back! *urghhh* seriously!

Alright, good night for now! Time to hit the sack and get ready to pump the energy up for the midweek!
Luv,
*rachelle*

All right then!!!~ I am back from my short trip to Bali. This time was slightly different (with the travel partner), let me introduce you to Stepheny!

So it's her first time to Bali, so I might elaborate more this blog compare to the previous ones, as the experience is still vivid in my mind. HAHAHA!

We decided to leave home a little bit early this time to check out the new airport KLIA 2. Took an Aerobus from Paradigm Mall straight to KLIA 2, and it only cost me RM10!!! ^_^ How cheap is that? Well, if I am comparing to KL Central or driving there myself. But thanks, Edwin for the ride to Paradigm Mall.

And guess what is the stupidest thing we did?? We checked-in and there isn't any shop inside the boarding gate. T___T *sigh*

Yeapz, so we ended up walking and hang out at Gloria Jean's Coffee until the boarding time.

I'm glad my phone battery last me until then as I keep on browsing through instagram pictures. Ooooh well, when the time comes, we board the plane and off we go!!!

~All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go~

DAY 1 : The Arrival

Nothing beats a warm welcome at the NguRai Airport!! ^^ The queue at the immigration was pretty long, but luckily i didn't wait long until they open a counter for ASEAN Countries. *weeeee*

Someone from the hotel picked us up and we head straight back to hotel to check-in. And this time I'm staying back at the hotel I first stayed on my first trip to Bali, J Boutique Hotel. Got a cheap rates through groupon and it's all worth it!

A nice welcome drink to quench my thirst after all the sleep and chit chats. Taste of pineapples and lime.

We gotten a free upgrade to an executive room, which I presume is slightly bigger than the deluxe one (or it's just an extra chair). So, no complain for that.

Yes, the world problem (or maybe when you are in Bali) - What is the WiFi's password?

Then, it's time to explore the town and to look for dinner place!! We ended up in Bamboo bar & Grill for a nice dinner with some live band.

Another welcome drink from the bartender, Mango, lemon and vodka! *love it*

And the bartenders are trying to be cheesy by giving us a rose ring, made from straws. I think it's the "in" things there, as I have been seeing lotsa bartender doing so for their customers.

Virgin Colada, Virgin Mojitos, Mahi Mahi Fillet and a Grilled Red Snapper. All this costs us RPH462,000 (which almost equivalent to RM160). Pricey for the first night but the food is absolutely good! Well, hey, if not they wouldn't be rank in TripAdvisor.

After dinner, we head to Sky Garden, the hippiest club to be in Kuta, where there are 5 rooms with assorted kinda musics of your choice.

Entrance fees of RPH100,000 (almost equivalent to RM35) and with (your choice, but I choose) 2 bottles of Smirnoff Vodka Ice! *blah blah blah* The rooftop is still the best, but it's super hot and humid. Low blood pressure attack, as I haven't been drinking much lately, and we head back to hotel early (1am ish). =( And so, we called it the night.

All right peepz! Stay tune for Day 2 - 4, in my next entries. Sorry I have to split the entry because it's already 12.40am and I need to go to work tomorrow. Hey, I don't travel for my living (though I would really wish for it *cross-fingers*). Good nights, peepz!
Luv,
*rachelle*

Omigosh!! My blog have been spam by some advertisement, keeps on sending me comments for approval! *urghhhhhh*

But anyhoo!! I'm back from a short trip! Give me sometime and I try to post up more pictures of my summer trip.

Luv,
*rachelle*

OMIGOSH!! I'm such a procrastinator! Haven't been blogging for half a year. Although nothing much happened to me besides working, but still........... *sigh* Disappointed at myself. Will remind myself to do better. I even slack off from Dayre. Is it because I'm getting older?

Note to myself. Never to be lazy or I won't achieve my new year's resolution.

Luv,
*rachelle*

Day 1 : Happy New Year 2014!

2    3

My first dayre post for 2014. *cross fingers* hopefully I can be more updated here as compared to my Xanga blog. Plus point is...... I can always link my entry back to Xanga!! *weeee* Here goes nothing... Let me figure out how to use this app. ^^

My new year countdown at Pei Yee's house, BBQ. Yes, I know I having been gaining weight. So, my new year resolution is to lose weight. *again*

We were so hungry we just keep staring at the pit hoping the food to cook faster. But apparently our "qi" is not helping with the fire.

I think I know how this thing goes. LOL!! Alright! Heading to the gym. Gonna go for Raw class. Need to build up my stamina for Burlesque.

Tiring!!! Stupid me, for not knowing classes were cancelled today. So, I had to do machines. I'm so hooked with pilates now, maybe I should YouTube and do more at home. ^^

Came home and realised my water heater spoiled. So, I had a cold shower on a rainy day and it effing took me 1 hour to wash my hair. T _T How am I to survive tomorrow morning?!?! Ooooh well, I'll figure that tomorrow morning. It's time for my mask and book! *nerd alert* Current recommendation : Crossfire Trilogy - by Sylvia Day. Good night, peepz! Luv, *rachelle*

Day 3 : Recap!

2    3

Work was not that hectic, but I just knocked off when I reached home. And I woke up at midnight to get my shower, to realise that the heater is still not working. FML!

Souvenirs from Taiwan, from lady boss. Suddenly I feel bad that I din buy any for any of my colleagues. Lol! Then again, I'm not as rich as them. HAHAHA!

Tidbits from Taiwan! I thought it was mochi. But it's just a dry tau sar peah.

Another day pass for 2014... Finally I had figure out my new resolution. Didn't achieve much in 2013 except drink less and party less. ^^ So, my 2014 resolution is : 1. Stay fit and healthy 2. Lose a couple of pounds 3. Learn a new dance 4. Learn Japanese and take exam 5. Learn Spanish and take exam *tadaaaa* Hope it's achievable. How about yours? Figured out your resolution for 2014? Luv, *rachelle*

Day 4 : First Saturday of 2014

2    0

I have been pigging the whole day! Sleep and reading Sylvia Day. Finally, am done with the 2nd book. Gurlz always get hooked up with romance story.

Dinner at Sevillas before heading to Koay Ling's birthday bash. Am trying to control myself from drinking wine now, as I know am gonna drink lotsa bourbon later. ^^

Smoked salmon cream bisque as a starter. ^^ Need to open up my appetite since it's my first meal.

And since I am on diet, my main course is smoked chicken salad! Yeapz, surprised... T _ T I feel so nerdy now that I can't wait for the night to end and head back home for my 3rd Crossfire book.

I can't slump anymore!!! Need to fulfill my resolution!! I had finally messaged TalentHub to start my new dance. I hope I will like it. ^^ Wish me luck!! Will post up picciess of tonight tomorrow! Stay tuned. Luv, *rachelle*

Day 5 : Lazy Sunday

2    0

Another nerdy day with Sylvia Day. Finally pull myself up at 5 PM for a cold shower for my aunt's birthday dinner. Let's recap on yesterday's havoc! ^^

Ok, it's Koay Ling's birthday and also get - together with the bunch of KPMG-ians. I miss how we used to roll last time. Jane babe and I dancing the night away. It just made me miss Bali alot.

More picciess at Koay Ling's camera, which I believe she gonna upload in Facebook. ^^ Jane and Joanne, my 2 closest seniors in KPMG.

Then, kiddo Jon and Edwin just selfie with my phone. I'm sooooo gonna post this up to embarrass them. HAHAHA!

And guess who I met in Play?!? Jocelyn!!! @eunicegan 's cousin. Funny she still remember my name. And it was epic on how she describe the party. LOL!

Everything was fine until my low blood pressure attack. *urghhh* I hated it!! It's always when I'm having a good time then it attacked me.

Had an awesome baba and nyonya food to celebrate my aunt's birthday.

I ate the egg without the stinky beans.

My first time eating nasi ulam. It's actually quite salty.

The otak-otak is nice, but doesn't beat my grandma's homemade otak-otak.

Then, it's curry chicken! I forgot to snap picciess of desserts, but I had red bean with mata kuching. ^^

Now is the part I dread to pack to go to work tomorrow. Haihz! But am looking forward for my new dance class! Wish me luck! And hope I don't break my leg, practically.

Luv,

*rachelle*

Okies, peepz! It's hard to copy the photos over, and I am gonna procrastinate even more if I actually asked you guys to wait. So, I have decided that I am going to blog more on Dayre, as it is convenient through my smart phone, and all the picciess can be uploaded there! And this will be my travel blog, whenever I travel with lotsa picciess I take from my camera will be uploaded here instead. I hope this works! Love you guys!

Luv,

*rachelle*

My 1st post in 2014!!! and it's a throwback of my 2013 travel. HAHAHA! *lame-o*

Let's begin!!! 5th December 2013 : Traveling to Melbourne after work. Yes, apparently the flight attendant keeps on serving food. And I can't sleep. T___T

6th December 2013 : Reached Melbourne Airport at 10.30am (AUST Time), rent a car and head to Great Ocean Road!! The view is spectacular! All my picciess does not justify the breathtaking view. I practically stopped at all the pitstop available, had my lunch at Lorne, Apollo Bay is beautiful! and last but not least the 12 Apostles (which now left 7 or 8). I call it a night in Port Campbell.

7th December 2013 : Continue my drive to Warnambool. Found a really awesome bar, which I called it the Tavern, because the owner really knows lotsa thing, which is a very good reference to me. Then, I hit the highway back to Melbourne City to meet my Chico Daddy!! He is fat now. LOL! I just need to make that statement.

8th December 2013 : Head to Queen Victoria Market in the morning. Had our lunch and stroll at Docklands. And end my night with Bon Jovi Concert at Etihad Stadium!

9th December 2013 : Nothing but a nice wine and cheese at Yarra Valley. End the night with penguins watch at Penguins Parade, Philip Island.

10th December 2013 - 12th December 2013 : Relaxing, sight-seeing, and food exploring in Melbourne City and Pascoe Vale. Chico Daddy brought me for Italian food in Sofia, Japanese food in St. Kilda's and not to mention gaming session with wine!!!~ ^_^

13th December 2013 : Wildlife Park, Philip Island. Finally I gotta feed all the cute animals!!! Except Tasmanian Devil. ^_^ and we had nice and expensive Chinese fine dining before heading to St.Kilda's for a drink and a night stroll along the famous St. Kilda's beach, which we happened to saw LOTSAAAA PENGUINSSSS!!!!~ *weeeee* Chico daddy keep on saying I was very lucky as he been there a few times and they didn't manage to see any. ^^

14th December 2013 : Had my last brunch with Chico daddy and Mimi before headed to Melbourne Airport. I miss the place so much, I'm reluctant to pack, and yes, I almost miss my flight because the queue to check-in my luggage and custom was very long. T___T

There goes another trip to end my 2013....

Thinking back, lotsa things happened in 2013, yet I achieve nothing in my life. I hope 2014 will be a better one. For better or worse, I am always grateful to have my family with my. I am sure 2014 will be a busy one, with my dear cousin getting marry, my close colleagues getting marry as well, my annual trip to Bali but with different people, and last but not least - my solo traveler trip to Busan to visit my near ahjumma, Joyce. ^^

Well, I do hope I am able to get a house before 2014 ends, and obviously a new job as well. LOL!!~

Happy New Year, peepz! Properous Ano Nuevo!
Luv,
*rachelle*

YES, PEOPLE!! I am back from my vacation!! So a little update on my annual trip to Bangkok this year. Basically it's a shopping trip and a little bit of food (desserts =) ) Well, let's begin.........

Shopping in Bangkok : Platinum Mall, Chatuchak, Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery, Siam Square, Terminal 21, Big C, Central World

Food : Long Table, Som Tam Nuo, Mr.Jones, Cabbage & Condoms

Sight-seeing : Damneon Saduak Floating Market, Terminal 21

Yeapz, I am that lazy to post the picciess. HAHAHA!! Well, actually, due to some reason I am unable to post most of my picciess, especially with the people I went with. *sigh* But I love the trip!! Shop till we drop!! ^_^ and there are lotsa poser picciess that we took that makes me smile even when I look at it right now, not to mention some of them makes me laugh my heart out. A memorable trip! I wonder will I gotta experience this when I left 'here'.

More post coming right up!! I really couldn't get hold on the new Xanga 2.0. Seriously, all my alignments were a mess!! *urghhhh*

Sweet dreamz, peepz!
Luv,
*rachelle*

Another long delayed blog. I feel so terrible!! @_@ Well, actually I was waiting for Airasia sales, so, I shall update my blog at the mean time. =)

Lotsa people are telling me to create a Dayre.me account so I can update a mini-blog from my smartphone. But why do I need so many accountssss?!?! I have Facebook (totally stalker-friendly), Twitter (where I can spam my curse and no one I didn't wanna know reads it), Instagram (photo-spam and again no one I didn't wanna know saw it), and I already had a Xanga blog (which the new layout seems so screw up my whole layout!! ~_~ ). Maybe I'm old enough for all this social networking (*gasp* I actually admitted I am old)

Ooooh well!! Let's get into business. What happened in October? *hmmmm* An adult gotta do what an adult gotta do!! B-A-B-Y-S-I-T-!!

Introducing, *drum-rolls* Prince Cayenne!! Apparently, he is much easier to take care compare to my other dogs. So, I don't understand why Soon Chin and Mei Ping is having such a huge problem with him. *awwwww* he is such a darling. I miss him already!! *muakxxx* My colleagues said that I actually treat dogs much better than I actually treat human. Which I totally agree!! Because dogs are wayyyyy more sweet and "human" compare to human itself. Maybe that's why I never really have problem with dogs. ^^

Next, is the surprised birthday celebration for the October babies in my department!! Or ex-colleague from my department as well. ^^

Had luncheon at some Japanese restaurant, Wisma Centre, for Chen and Jacqueline's birthday. It was rushing, as we only had an hour lunch, but we still managed to camwhore lotsa picciess!! ^^ Nothing you can't do when you have the S-S-Gang! *winkz*

After work, some of us left early to Maya Hotel to setup the room for Rachel Tan's birthday. Yes, blowing balloons! 50 of it!!! I almost ran out of oxygen. But it was all fun!!

The birthday girl and *moi*!!! And the candles are supposed to sparkle, at least a little. *got conned*

We took heapz of crazy pictures, which are up to 1.6GB!!!~ it was hilarious!! I can still laugh like a moron in front of my lappy everytime I see the picciess!! I'm soooo gonna miss you guys when I leave Public Bank. Nothing beats the time we spent during our business trips and also our "bonding" trip. Again S-S-Gang must stress that whoever says "Building rapport and networking is a waste of time" is a complete idiot!! And no wonder he/she is still stuck under his/her own "tempurung".

Anyhoo..... Airasia sales gonna begin soon!!! Wish me luck, peepz!!
Luv,
*rachelle*

Happy Birthday to me!!! *yey* September had past, and there goes my birthday month. Another annual trip with my girlfriends had also past. Lotsa things happened at work, and now I'm stuck with an assignment which due tomorrow and I have NO MOOD to write at all. I am D-O-O-M-E-D!! =_="

Ooooh well!! Let's put aside the sad part, of I need to burn the midnight oil to finish the assignment tonight. It's BALI time!! How much I miss the island already. =(

 Our cribs for 3 days

 I love my pool villa!

American breakfast & ice-cream after a nice "swim"!

 massage and spa is a must in Bali!

Nothing much to describe what happened in Bali. Been there every year and I am still not bored of it yet. Relaxing, Fun & I wanna go back again!!

Short post this time! Need to get back to assignment. Will try my best to upload more post soon, since the Xanga layout is back to normal, except most of my picciess still went missing. =_="

Love,
*rachelle*

Having been into hiatus for another month, I came back to xanga, receiving messages saying goodbye to Xanga, as it will be closed down or now they said it's gonna be a Xanga 2.0. Whichever it is, I hope it's not gonna close down, because if it is. I think I will not setup a new blog anymore (yes, being the lazy me.  )

Okies, peepz! Time for a recap on my annual dinner, which I hope it's gonna be my final one. *sigh*  Well, at least I am moving to a better career and future.

I better get going with my research, haven't start a bit on my research and also my Bangkok itinerary!  Going back to KL tomorrow is a bummer. *dreading* falling sick is even worse! *urghhhh* How am I going to go for interview tomorrow?!? *prayyyyyyyy*

 Luv,

Finally, I guess this is the first weekend in 2013 that a got the chance to spend time with myself. Opsss! Forgot about the 2 months delay in my entry. Oooooh well, nothing much happened to me except for annual dinner, which I am gonna blog about it on the next entry. Because I am now using my iPad, at Starbucks, can't really upload picciess.

Woke up pretty early today because I didn't switched off my alarm.  And now spending my whole day at The Curve, shopping, eating, and most of all, working. *urghhhh* Welcome to my life! I did met up with Sheue Fen last night for her birthday dinner cum catching up moment. I seriously need to get a job in Penang, I am going to miss everything in KL, my life, my social network, my weekends and friends.  But until then, let me just enjoy every bits of it first.

Time for my next appointment. Until then! 

 Luv,

*rachelle*

Both my besties had left, one back to Singapore and another one back to Busan. And as I was chatting with dear ahjumma and berry, we were saying how our life is not as interesting or happening as it used to be anymore. As usual, except for berry, ahjumma and I denied it. LOL!  Well, I did have my share on some excitement happening in my life recently, or more like past few months. Future Music Festivals was awesome, with A State of Trance. But nothing beats the company that I went with. Oh, not to forget Johnny Walker event. It was so cool!

Let's start of with Future Music Festival. First Day - A State of Trance. We were all sweaty and exhausted!! Eventhough I don't listen to trance but I still need to admit that it was not that bad.

Day 2 of Future Music Festival was on random artist singing on 4 different stages. I met Ice there. He's cute when he's shy. LOL!

 Ice can't talk but he is saying "Hello" in the language he best in, dancing.

 Making my wish........ *hmmm*

Next, I was back in Penang for quite some time, and my 'B' came over to look for me. And so we hit the bar, when some shytz happened to Pekingnese. But it was all good now.

 T-I-P (This is Penang)

 This is what I'm talking about...

Christmas Party last year was on All Around the World theme. So guess who is from which country playing as what character?

 
My both GFs...

 The mistress needs her bed...

 I always love group picciess. It always makes me smile. ^_^

Beginning of the year, was CK and Koay Ling's birthday. For once we are having a non-clubbing birthday celebration. Luncheon - movie - dinner!

Chinese New Year with my Bali babes at Establishment. ^_^

 Long Island Tea!

 Can't wait for our Bali trip this year! 3 more months!

Nonetheless, Johnny Walker event can never beat any other exclusive invites event I ever attended.

More party for Andrew's visit to KL.

We tried something new for Aaron's birthday, Dining in the Dark. Love the concept, but somehow when I tell my other friends and colleagues they were like, "I can't see what I eat. Where got nice??"  Seriously, you people just doesn't wanna try something different.

After dinner, we headed over to Velvet for Serene's farewell.

And because of being late to airport, we have to run from gate to gate to check-in the luggage and all. And I got no idea why am I running together with them. LOL!!

I guess it's time for settling down with my life of less party and outings. MORE SLEEP!! Hahaha!

Enough of out of office life. In the office, I attended Eugene's farewell, which ended up like a Q&A session on me instead.  Seriously, peepz!! What's wrong?!?!

 Besides Nicholas and I, the rest of them are from branch audit and I'm sorry to say that I don't even know some of their names.

Then, it was Rachel Ong's birthday, where we had Japanese cuisine at Pavillion and then, head to Velvet.

Then it was outing with my ex-KPMG-ians!! Nothing beats the time we had in KPMG.

Done! So from today onwards, I will make sure my life will still be as interesting as always. Will not be an ahjumma before I turn 30. LOL!!~ That's all for now. Time to get back to work (yes, on a public holiday). And wish me luck in getting a new job in Penang! *weeeeee*

 Luv,
*rachelle*

Another 2 months had past. My bestie had left to Singapore and I missed her so. Then, it was Joyce, the Malaysian Ahjumma, back from Busan for her yearly visit. I guess besides my job, I love everything else.

Dinner to celebrate uncle and Yen Aun's birthday at Spring Garden.

Then, it was our dear Tan Sri Chairman's birthday, which I basically stand there like a vase. But somehow this round it was lotsa fun, with booze!

Appreciation dinner after that.

Then, it was ur weekend getaway at Genting Highland with the bunch of MA guys. AND I WIN YOUR GUYS IN TEKKEN!! Total awesome-ness!!

Then, it was my weekend back at Penang for my dear ahjumma and berry. We eat, we drink, we shop and most of all, we update about our life. I'm glad things were back as it used to be. So much fun seeing ahjumma puke for the very first time. LOL!

Elly Peh's wedding, which is exactly like mini annual dinner.

The latest junks that I got is lotsa lovely souvenirs from fellow colleagues who went for holidays. Thanks a lot, peepz! Will definitely gain weight with your help. (eventhough I don't need the extra pound)

AVP is totally awesome and Serene babe and I had tones of fun!

 You guys rockz!

Last but not least, my MA guys, I'm gonna miss you guys went I leave.

 Luv,
*rachelle*

Topic of today. Actually, there is no particular reason on why I would post such a comment on my Facebook status (as everyone is asking me). It just cross my mind and I tweeted it. That's all! But somehow, I received the comments and 99% people choose the ugly truth, while that 1% says depends on the situation. (a very diplomatic answer). 

Then, I began to ask more. Why the ugly truth? Can you guys handle the truth when you actually hear it? And the answer I received was, because we live everyday with lies, so, a truth might make the different. A point fair made. Next, I asked again, what if the lie is so beautiful that you will never ever find out forever? The answer was a lie can never cover the truth no matter how beautiful it is. I agreed but not 100%. Do you think we live in a movie set? Where all the good guys win? Truth against lie, good against evil? It never goes this way.... Maybe I am the only one who chose to live in denial. I choose a beautiful lie. Just like what I always tell my partner. If he ever decided to lie to me, make sure it is so beautiful that I will never ever find out or even suspect a single thing during my journey with him. 1 suspicious thought and he is out! Because I am an auditor. 

Probably my thought was i have been living in this world filled with lies and unjust, feeling so devastated over different aspect in life. Maybe something beautiful, no matter how much you know it wouldn't be real happened, might give you some inspiration that there might still be something different in life. Isn't it much better that you are giving that one person hope that not everything is ugly?

 Luv,

*rachelle*

Yes, I am that lazy!  Didn't have much time to blog as I was busy with my work, outstation audits, travels and so on. Plus I am still not used to having a new lappy to work with. Not to mention that I got no idea where did my mouse went.  I try to be as active as I can. Recently, one of my friend just mentioned to me how much drama I have in my life and reading my blog is like watching TVB drama series.  Definitely not a compliment. Well, almost a year had past, and I am 1 more month till I'm 2.5 years old in my current company. How much had changed throughout this two years.  Ups and downs in my life. I'm glad I had such a supportive family and friends.

Back to my updates, I'm not sure if I actually updates everything will Xanga burst my photo albums. it's 64% full already!!!  And I didn't want to delete off my previous picciess. They have so much memories. Let's start with walking down the memory lane of 6 months ago.

 Pei Yee's birthday dinner at Bella Marino, Straits Quay, Penang.

 Pei Yee's birthday karaoke session!

 Time for some fun at Gold Coast Sepang. Nothing beats the sun, beach and bestie!

 House warming party with Back to School Theme on July at The Verve.

 Singapore Universal Studio for Chan Mei Ping's birthday.

 We love Optimus Prime!! But Chan Mei Anne is obsess about him that she keeps on replaying the video she captured through her phone

 I always laugh at Soon Chin's expression of, "I'm not young anymore!", and Mei Anne's total numbness!

 Yoe's birthday on 18.8.2012

 Nothing much I need to say about Bali. But this time we made friends with the locals. They are fun, except the tattoo and piercing part is scaring me. @_@

 He never fails to amuze me. HAH!

 IAD team accomplished the seached of 11 murals all over Penang!! *weeeee*

I guess that basically covers most of my trips and parties from July - November 2012. So what's next?? Want more from December 2012 - February 2013?? Well, I finally did my LASIK on 25.1.2013!!!~ So I am now free from contact lenses and spectacles! Very convenient! From now on I will take good care of my eyes! ^_^ So let's begin with the December 2012 - February 2013. I was once again the usherette for Tan Sri's birthday dinner on 9 March 2013. Photo shoot session was done and I look fat! @_@ well, that was what Michael said about me once he saw me during the photo shooting session, "Why your arse so fat?!?!". =_=" Geez, thanks a lot! Chinese New Year is awesome as usual because I gotta go back to Penang and I am with my family! This year, the rest of my cousins did not went back because Poh Teng jie jie just delivered a baby girl! *I have a niece, finally!* So, most of them went to Seremban to visit her, as she still on confinement. I can't wait to see baby Carmen on her full moon party. Then, there is another weekend trip I made with a few colleagues to JB. Legoland was HOT! But Hello Kitty Land was cute. HEHEHE! again, damages were done at JPO.

 And the newly-weds of IAD team!!~ 121212.....

 Begin our journey to JB!!

 Yesh, I am not kidding with the Hello Kitty!

 Poser to the max! I should really get a tripod for my camera. Very useful. *hmmmmm*

 Then, here we are - LEGOLAND!!!

 Like any ther year, will be our IAD team's CNY lou sang dinner. This time is at Purple Cane and Chen decided to join us. Every since Chen transferred out from our division, we are so much more closer because he joins in most of our activities than when he was with us. What a weird man?!?

Yeapz, I have to pose for the booklet. =_=" I hope everyone who gotten the book will burn it away.

Shooting with Joh!

 Then, Nizam wants a shot.

 Then, leads to our cheeky Faizal.

Oooooh well, that's all I guess. Nothing much to update. I think I better take my camera out to shoot before my skill rottens or worse, my camera. And I have decided to give my mom my digital camera. ^_^ I'm such a good daughter. *weeeeeeeee*  I know, I know, self praise is no praise. That's all for now. Will blog as often as possible.

 Luv,
*rachelle*

My first time blogging using my tablet, kinda not used to it. Oooooh well, it all started with me having a long chat with my friend after work, today - relationship issues. Seriously, I'm the last person on earth that people wanna talk to me about this issue. But somehow people just come. Then, it triggers me on mine.

One question my friend asked me, "Why can't I let go?". I really don't know how to put my thoughts into words. It's more like, I feel it is such a waste that the relationship ends without any effort putting in to salvage it. I believe that if it is any other guy, it is easily salvage. But it just didn't go this way. Such a waste.

Then, he said, I must had really loved him. As he never sees me like this before. I was always the bubbly one in the office. Nobody can see the sorrow in me, nobody even realized I cried. He strongly believe until now, everyone is still misunderstanding of what kindaI girl am I. It's ok, how can I expect people to know the real me when my own dearest don't? *ironic*

Disappointed on how things go. Disappointed on how it ended. Disappointed on all the ungiven effort to salvage the one precious thing for both of us. At the end of the day, life goes on. We have to face the ugly truth!

Luv,

*rachelle*

However, it was a fun night, until the next day I was like a walking zombie, and I practically feel like taking MC for the sake of my sleep. Not funny at all!!! I think I can declare old already.

Anyhoo, done with all my events, and now I'm anticipating for my trips!!~ Finally decided to stop waiting and hoping for the rain to fall during the drought. Hopeless and disappointing.

Luv,
*rachelle*

Universal Studio, Singapore & Phuket, Thailand!!

Finally, I am logging in to my blog again. I don't know how long will be at hiatus anymore. But I am still active in Twitter and Instagram. Like I mentioned on my previous blog 2 months ago. I went to Universal Studio with my colleague, Pei Yee and then, off to Phuket with Rachel, Juliet and Charlie.

Somehow these trips really helps me a lil' bit on letting go. I begin to learn that I really need a break right now. I need some time for this scar to heal. I'm just not ready. Now probably I need to get over it!!

And start worrying about my performance for annual dinner!!!~ Bruises on my legs.

Pictures from Universal Studio!!!~

Phuket Trip!!~

Luv,
*rachelle*

Hiatus, hiatus, hiatus!

Yeapz, I had been missing for almost 3 months already. Lotsa depressing stuff happened, but let's just drop that. I think I haven't been uploading pictures much as well, since Chinese New Year? Okies, let's start bits by bits. Gonna upload all the pictures from Chinese New year until my Phuket trip. Ooooh yea, I just came back from Phuket yesterday!!!~ *awesome trip*

Start of with Chinese New Year, when I went to Kek Lok Si for the first time during the night time.

Then, I went and watch the hot air balloon, but somehow they didn't come back.

Last but not least, my Kuching weekend gateaway.

Next entry will be the universal studio and phuket!!~

Luv,
*rachelle*

"I have never love you less" is the phrase you used to tell me. Feelings faded. Before you even realize it, your words are more hurtful than pure annoyance. Is it better if we go back to when we first met, when we both do not care much about each other? Will we be much more happier? Is that what you want? I'm really thinking, whether how long can I stand the way you treat me. I admit, no one has ever treat me like you did before. For once I was showered with love, care and attention. Which makes it even more obvious now that you do the otherwise.

You said you do not know what am I thinking now, what do I want now. But it hasn't changed. Why do you have to hurt me so? You do know what do I concern of. All this while, I'm taking you as someone i can share my feelings with, and you know how I feel. But why?

When we first met after my resignation from the firm, 3 years had past. We were both outstation for work. Things were funny and fun. We drank, we played games, we danced and we sang to the live band. We spent the whole night together. 2 days later, before you left, we met up again for dinner. Things were happy as it seems. We spent another night together. I didn't believe that we will still keep in touch after you flew back. We began to talk and share stuff about ourselves. We acknowledged our differences.

A month later, I went back. You picked me up from the airport, and you bought me my favorite ice cream and dessert. You brought me for a nice dinner I'd been craving for. Honestly, I feel awkward. Because I thought what happened during the outstation trip stays there. We continue to go out every now and then, until my next outstation trip.

There was when we had our first argument. Now think about it, you were so cute. You were so down and you practically hurt yourself and spend unnecessary money (which makes me upset later that I knew). From then, I know that, "Wow, this guy might really like me a lot." You came over twice to visit me, and the second time was after I job. You just picked me up and we went to our first holiday together.

I guess all I wanna do is just rest and sleep, after all the work. But it's also the first time when I told you that I had fallen for you. I wish we had more holidays together. We began to make plan for us. We talked a lot, shared lots of stuff together, we compromised, and you decided to make the biggest decision in your life, just so we can be together. I was shocked and I don't know what to do. All I know is to stand by you when you needed someone.myou used to talk to me, but not anymore.

I always remember our second argument was the funniest of all. It wasn't even an argument!! You thought I was upset and did not answer your call, but actually I was at the spa!! You even used your friend's phone to call me. LOL! Eventually, more arguments came up. We assume on each other, we began to feel insecure, and unintentionally, I was pushing you to the corner. When all I needed to know is where I stand.

When someone is able to make you feel the happiest, they can also make you feel worse than devastated. We had so many happy moments together, which I will cherish it. I don't know when did I start to fall so deeply in love with you, that I'm no longer willing to let you go. But eventually I still needs to, not I want to.

Just re-watched Strangers, Again by Wong Fu Production. So true!!! Wanted to share the link embedded code here but I can seems to find it through iPad. =_=" Been thinking a lot lately, after so many incident that happened. What should I do? I really don't know. At least I do know what do I want. But still it always takes two.

I'm really confuse right now. Where do I stand? All I need to know is the wait is worthwhile. If that is so difficult for you to answer, then I already know the answer. I don't wanna bare the time of hurt and pain when I can feel you change and distance yourself. Why do I need to go through this when we don't even know when can we begin.

Everyone is tired. Quarrels, misunderstanding, assumptions, tears, pain. When someone makes to feel the happiest ever, can also make you feel worst than being devastated. I did something out of my own expectation. I begin to regret this and question myself. Why?
