  • My Annual Trip to Bali 17 July 2014 – 20 July 2014 (Day 4)

    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! ^_^

    20140720_113047 and shopping is much more awesome with GELATOS!

    IMG-20140701-WA0019   20140720_132335

    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*

    IMG-20140721-WA0018 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.

    20140720_133628   IMG-20140701-WA0006 Getting ready for my spa time!

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

    20140720_174941

    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*

  • My Annual Trip to Bali 17 July 2014 – 20 July 2014 (Day 3)

    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!!

    IMG_20140719_125936   IMG_20140719_124526

    20140719_124803

    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! ^^

    20140719_125529   (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!!!

    IMG-20140719-WA0061

    Time to board the boat!!

    20140719_151030   20140719_151022

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

    20140719_151000  IMG-20140719-WA0012  IMG-20140710-WA0019

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

    IMG-20140719-WA0034  IMG-20140720-WA0023  IMG-20140719-WA0046

    IMG-20140719-WA0016  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.

    IMG-20140719-WA0035  IMG-20140719-WA0019

    20140719_152837  20140719_152900

    20140719_153208  20140719_153157  20140719_152937

     

    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!!!

    20140719_153725 Yeapz, snakes! *urghhh*

    20140719_153319 There’s bat, where you can hold its legs and snap picciess with…..

    20140719_153337  Iguana…

    20140719_153419 Baby eagles…..

    20140719_153625

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

    20140719_154418 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

    IMG-20140719-WA0048

    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.

    20140719_192741 We gotta wear our own apron!!

    20140719_195816   IMG-20140720-WA0006

    IMG-20140720-WA0008   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*

    20140719_192105   20140719_203752

    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.

    IMG-20140719-WA0076   IMG-20140719-WA0074

    IMG-20140719-WA0075   IMG-20140719-WA0073

    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.

    20140719_214132   Winn and his let’s get drunk pose!

    20140719_213013   And we begin to play some drinking games…

    20140719_230424

    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,

  • My Annual Trip to Bali 17 July 2014 – 20 July 2014 (Day 2)

    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*

    20140718_093734

     

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

    20140718_093816   IMG-20140718-WA0040

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

    20140718_125129

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

    20140718_125226

    Here we are!!!~

    20140718_131733   20140718_141134   IMG-20140718-WA0039

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

    20140718_132028    20140718_141209

     

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

    20140718_143557

    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!

     

    20140718_152602  IMG-20140718-WA0035

     

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

    20140718_165843

     

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

    20140718_165735  IMG-20140718-WA0008

    IMG-20140718-WA0011   20140718_170300

     

    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.

    IMG-20140718-WA0077

    20140718_204031

     

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

    20140718_203706

    IMG-20140718-WA0075    20140718_204011

    IMG-20140718-WA0082    IMG-20140718-WA0083

    IMG-20140718-WA0076

    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.

    20140718_223258    20140718_223351

    20140718_224924    20140718_231005

    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*

  • My Annual Trip to Bali 17 July 2014 – 20 July 2014 (Day 1)

    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!

    20140717_113139

    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.

    IMG_20140717_135446

    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!!!

    IMG-20140709-WA0008

     

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

    DAY 1 : The Arrival

    20140717_192420

     

    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!

    20140717_195025    20140717_195052

     

    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.

    IMG-20140717-WA0001

     

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

    20140717_203232    IMG-20140717-WA0003

    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.

     

    IMG-20140718-WA0000

     

    20140717_210558

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

     

    20140717_211944

    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.

    20140717_211927 20140717_213150

    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.

    20140717_232434   IMG-20140718-WA0001

     

    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*

     

  • Annoyed!

    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*

  • Procrastination

    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*

  • Just Some Recap from Dayre (http://dayre.me/rachellelpg)

    Day 6 : Monday blues

     2     0

     

    Monday blues at work! Had our department meeting, which surprisingly ended within half a day, instead of 1 and half day. *yey*

    Then, I was tortured by the demon. =_=”

    *urghhh* seriously, she didn’t even learn her manners.

    Ooooh well, ignore that and get to the happy point on the day!

    Souvenirs from Mohan! I really love my auditees. They treat me much better than my colleagues! Even though I still end up issuing them reports. This is what we called friends beyond work life.

    Gonna do my manicure after shower! Hope I don’t fall asleep.

    Then, I ended my day with my dance class. First time and I feel like dying! Stretch me to hell! And they do planks for warm down! =_=”

    But I do like the dance movement, simple yet concentrate on your posture, which I definitely have a very bad one. Will practise more at home before my next class!

    If my body feels better by Wednesday, then I will head to Raw class. Diet to the max!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 7 : Stress!

     0     0

    Another frustration day from ah neh. Seriously!!! Can she get a life and stop ruining mine? I’m having mental and emotional stress just because of her stupidity. *unnecessarily*

    Done my mani with my gift from Mohan. Wanted to top up with some nail arts, but am just too lazy and it’s late. Maybe next time!

    Finally gotten this picture from Serene babe. She finally touched down in Perth today. Gonna miss her heapz.

    Back from work and feeling devastated with my work life. I really wanna get the hell outta here as soon as possible. Jobs, please reply my application!!

    Tine for my nerd time with mask and then sleep. Tomorrow is another day to pass with her. I hope she goes on MC.

    Nights.
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 11 : Cherating Trip Here I Come!!

     2     0

    Weekend is here!!!

    Yeapz! Am on my way to Cherating! Nothing much happened during the week, except I went for movie on Friday night. ‘The Legend of Hercules’. Greek god is full of sex. That is my conclusion.

    Finally, I splurge on lamb for dinner!! Prepared my low blood pressure for tonight at Cherating. ^^

    Invitation is out for Tan Sri Chairman’s Chinese New Year open house. My cousin gotta leave early from Penang to attend the dinner. *sad*

    Time to enjoy my drunk trip with my peepz! Will update more picciess soon!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 17 : Cherating Team Building!

     1     0

    Dear Dayre,

    Yes, I know I haven’t been updating much, thanks to AML/CFT Thematic Review and a sucky team leader that runaway because she can’t deliver. =_=”

    Anyhoo, let me update about my crazeee Cherating trip that we end up having fun in the apartment, due to rain and flood.

    The charcoal team, on the way to Cherating!

    First meal in Cherating. Seafood!!!

    Must have keropok lekor.

    Then is our night game and drinking session.

    Whatever happened in Cherating, stays in Cherating. ^^ NDA acknowledged by all attendees.

    Our next morning breakfast. Junk food!

    Then, we have our family portrait taken.

    But nothing beats the crazeee us!

    Important meal before leaving Cherating, lobster!!

    Painting of batik. Look at my serious artistic look. LOL!

    And it turns out fugly. No wonder my mom did my art last time. Coz I don’t have any sense of art. LOL!

    That’s all for my Cherating trip! Wanted to post up videos on our harlem shake session, but it’s too huge to be uploaded.

    Well, finally after the report was issued yesterday, Mohan, one of my auditee, treated some of us for a buffet dinner at Mandarin Oriental Hotel. I feel so FAT!! But it was all good. ^^

    Somehow, I don’t know why but I am just worried about my big boss who is facing all the stress from the division. I have to admit that we doesn’t have the qualification nor the quality.

    Oooh well, I shall de – stress him next week. ^^

    Time for group picciess from the dinner!

    Thanks, Mohan!

    Introducing, Mr. Senior Manager of Quality Assurance Unit, Mohan!!

    Connie and *moi* !! Ex – Miss Head Office!

    That’s all for now! A tiring Friday since I had a afternoon swim. Need to get ready for body measurement for bridesmaid dress.

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 24 : Sick!

     1     0

    Weekend is here!!! And I am down with fever since Wednesday night. *sigh*

    Was shivering the whole Wednesday night. I strongly believe the meeting room was jinx. I always fall sick after i sit in the meeting room. I puked twice before, and now I am down with fever. =_=”

    On Thursday, I still went to work but my whole body is aching. I went and see the doc and km having high fever. Without me requesting, the doc just gave me an MC.

    Everyone was speculating that I tender, or I done my appraisal because I had a seriously “short” dialog session with my lady boss, after our “short” = half day meeting. Seriously!! Am I really that predictable?

    Oooh well, sad to say because of my illness, I miss out 2 Chinese new year dinners with my colleagues and bosses. I don’t even know will I have a change in the future. *sigh*

    I went for food tasting last week for my cousin’s wedding. Full die me!! I seriously need to go on a diet, like now!

    Alright, peepz! The sick gurl need to hit the sack!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 26 : Window shopping till my leg hurts!

     1     6

    Sunday going to end soon!!! *dread*

    I read an article telling about steps on how to boost up your mood for Monday blues. And one of them is love your job. T _ T like seriously?!?!?!

    If I can do so, I would have just suck up to all the crapz that was thrown at me. So, conclusion is Monday blues will always apply to me.

    Went window #shopping today at #1Utama with my cousins and came across a pretty cheongsam. Too bad it’s loose on the collar, or else it’s gonna be quite nice, don’t you think so?

    My cousins wanna buy an evening dress for her company’s dinner, but we didn’t manage to find any. Ended up she gotten herself a pair of jeans at #Berska .

    I walked for 6 hours straight and now I can’t feel my legs anymore. I really respect those women that can shop in heels. Came home and bed is my best-est best friend!!

    I just fall right into it and fell asleep in a slip second. That is before my aunt wake me up for dinner an hour later. =_=”

    Dread myself out for dinner, and because they lazy to go far, it is decided that dinner will be just at the restaurant outside the house. Which also means W-A-L-K-I-N-G distance!

    Being the mean gurl as I always was. My cousin brother piggy back me there! *weeee* yeapz, I’m that lazy. ^^

    Well, I have decided to dye my hair for my cousin’s wedding!! I wanted 3 tones pink, but everyone is like,

    “your boss is gonna have the shock of her life”,

    “you are working in a bank”,

    “you are not in the creative line”,

    “why can’t you just stay with black colour?”

    Yeapz! That’s the comment!

    I love the bottom right! But also I know it’s gonna damage my hair most, if I would to get that colour. #bleach #pink

    Then, I thought of a darker 3 tones of #blue and #violet . Except it’s not going to be a patch on my hair like the piccie.

    Peiyee suggested that I make it obvious but hidden inside. So, when I go to work, people hardly notice it, until I tie my hair up or swipe it to the side. Can be consider……

    What do you guys think?

    Ooooh well, peepz! Time to pack for work and Burlesque tomorrow. *sigh* Hope I can still remember the choreography. Nitey nitez!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 31 : Gong Hei Fatt Choy!

     3     4

    Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!!!

    It’s the first day of Chinese New Year! And just like any other years, it’s just food, drink and sleep.

    However, I reached Penang 2 days earlier. So, it’s another exploration with my cousins!

    We had our brunch at 55 Cafe. Pricey but something unique with the 3D art in the coffee.

    See how cute is the 3D art on the chocolate!

    Then, we head to The Camera Museum for some “syok-sendiri” session. There’s lotsa cameras inside from the antiques to Polaroid to the current DSLR.

    After all the walk and snapping piccies, we went to a newly opened Cat Cafe, which is located right beside the Camera Museum.

    Mis hermanas and *moi* selfie in the washroom. Hahahaha!! All the “girls-must-do” thingy.

    Paparazzi on the move!!

    I named him Mr. Grumpy!

    And this is Alien. Because of the eye. Hahaha!

    After all the kitty – cat tails, we went to the 3D interactive museum.

    All the random picciess we took in the interactive museums. Surprisingly it’s quite real.

    End the day with a nice dinner at Behind 50. Affordable yet nice dinner.

    Vain pot looking at menu. Well, this is the after pic.

    And this is the slouchy-ness of before. Hahaha!

    And this is what I come back to. How homey! ^^

    Reunion lunch with lou sang!!! Huat ah!!! I need more money and a new job!!!

    Then, it’s the ritual reunion dinner with steamboat!

    One thing I love about Chinese New Year is family get together to talk crap. And it always ends to ghost story. I got no idea why. =_=”

    Oooh well, that actually sums up the start of my Chinese New Year 2014.

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 34 : Time to settle

     3     2

    It had been a busy day, rushing over to Penang for dinner and all. But it’s all good! My cousins are leaving back to KL today, so it won’t be much of a rush after this.

    I went over to Penang for dinner at CRC Restaurant and it was a massive traffic!!! I got stucked in the traffic for bloody 2 hours!! Seriously, KL really trained my patience…… A LOT!

    Mummy and I, finally made it to the dinner. And once we are seated, the food is served. Hahaha! Just in time…

    After dinner, we went for a walk at Gurney Paragon. Again!!! The jam….. but lucky the distance isn’t much.

    My niece, Carmen seems very happy in the arcade. She doesn’t wanna leave the place. She is such a tomboy, always lifting her legs everywhere and not to mention she loves all her brothers’ toys.

    Then, we went back to the hotel to play some fireworks.

    It’s the first time I’m staying at Four Point – Sheraton. Nice, cosy hotel by the beach!

    And we got the whole beach to ourselves!!!

    My cousin and nephews getting excited to play fireworks by the beach.

    Until………….They start to fight.

    Hyden got emo and cried. Seriously, his crying face is fugly. =_=”

    Carmen pretend that nothing happened and start laughing at her brother. Well, I have to say, among both brothers Hyden takes care of the sister more than the elder brother.

    The night ends with a good game of “in-between”. And a nice bed to crash on! ^^

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 38 : I need a job!

     2     3

    Last 2 days was pretty much job hunting for me. *sigh* All MNCs in Penang freeze their order, so is the accounting firms. What am I to do?!?! I’m soon to be jobless!!

    Met up with Ruhann last 2 day and he was all stress up for his missing credit card and the bank’s customer service isn’t helping. Hahaha!

    Prolly he left it with some chic when he was drunk and couldn’t remember it.

    He’s still the same ol’ bully.

    Then, I finally found the Penang White Curry everyone asking me to search. I really got no idea how it taste. I just buy for the sake of everyone. =_=”

    Yesterday, finally met up with Huan. And tried out a few cafés. First, we went to The Mugshots Café. Tried bacon and egg sandwich.

    Kiwi and honey yogurt.

    Mocha and latte!!

    Surprisingly, it looks nice but not as tasty as 55 Café.

    And my mugshot for the day! Charge : being a skinny bitch, as per @sereneyap ! HAHAHA!

    Then, we went for movie at Gurney Plaza. Wanted to watch ‘From Vegas to Macau’, but it was sold off. So, we ended up watching ‘The Lego Movie’. Nothing wow about the movie, but not very boring as well. Can just get a DVD and watch it at home.

    After movie, we went for Korean dinner and watched Running Man. Basically, both of us keep laughing at the variety show.

    Very spicy kimchi soup…

    And they serve very nice potato egg salad. *addictive*

    After dinner, we went for more coffee at Kaffa.

    Just a cuppa flat white and salted caramel macchiato, we chatted until 11pm to catch up on what had happened in our life – work, travel, life.

    Need to look for job!!! Desperate!!!

    Ooooh well, back to job hunting. Been flocking off my resume to everywhere. Wish me luck!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 40 : Back to reality

     3     3

    I’m back to reality! *urghhhh* Hate it! And I’m sweat all the time because of the humid weather! I thought Penang was hot. But KL just gotten worse.

    Last Friday was a huge celebration for all the Hokkien people in Penang. Pai Ti Kong… so i was helping my mom with the food and the tables arrangement.

    The table for midnight prayer.

    All the “papers” for burning.

    The huge dragon stand.

    And all the fireworks everywhere. This year seems like there’s lotsa rich people around, as fireworks are getting more and big. Looks expensive! LOL!

    Ong ah!! Huat ah!! Heng ah!!

    Just join in the shout when they are burning those papers. Hahaha! Well, when you are living in the same community with others who are also praying, then, it does look fun. LOL!

    Welcome Max to the family!! My nephew decided to get himself a beagle. And now I wonder who will take care of him? LOL!

    *urghhhhh* haven’t been working for 2 weeks and now need to go for training! Haven’t switched on my brain yet.

    Monday is just an hour away. *sigh* Feeling stress for the need of putting my poker face on. Oh well! Not gonna last long. ^^

    Goodnight, peepz! Time to destress with Pretty Little Liars.

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 46 : 1st week back to work

     3     4

    Weekend is here!!! Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! My 1st week back to KL is all about training in Bangi.

    First day, Persuasive Communication Skill for Internal Auditor. Quite fun! With all the activities. It’s the first day I met all my bosses, obviously except my lady boss other bosses seems to greet me happily, especially big boss. He is as entertaining and funny as always. And I got special angpow!!!! *weeeeeee*

    Then, the following 4 days were Islamic Banking. I feel like dying with all the Islamic terminologies. *urghhhhhh* And I need to memorised them for the exam on next Monday! *kill me please*

    Certificate of attendance. *treasure!!!* Imagine the hours I suffer inside. =_=”

    One of the thing I need to remember. (Sigh* me weekend is stuffed with Islamic terms.

    Seriously, why wanna make life so difficult, when the course ends with whatever happened, must go back to the source, which is the Al-Quran by Allah. =_=”

    So, basically they say everything.

    What we do on class…….. play games.

    And best of the best… sleeping!

    Since yesterday was Valentine’s Day and Chap Goh Meh, we decided to live the tradition of throwing mandarin oranges to the river. Hahaha! Surprisingly there’s lotsa people doing so. And the guys will throw bananas. LOL!

    Then, Jane and me decided to take up Andy’s invitation to Zouk, even though we barely knows anyone in their friends group.

    And it was an early birthday celebration for Jane!! She was so high we keep on forcing her to drink water.

    Overall the night was fun but when we reached home at 6 in the morning, we were all worn out and crash. LOL!

    I miss all this partying before my low blood pressure keeps on attacking. Haven’t been really partying much anymore. Plus age is catching up. Hahaha!

    Alright! Time to hit the book…………reluctantly!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 61 : February updates!

     2     1

    I’m back!!! Lotsa mental and emotional torture at work. So, by the time I reached home I past – out like immediately. That is how bad it is.

    Well, besides the bad things that had happened, obviously I remember something sweet too. I love my big boss!! He is the most objective and knowledgeable person I ever known in PBB. And he joke a lot too!! *like*

    After all the exams and work, my colleagues and I planned a surprise birthday treat for Jia Hong! It was hilarious!

    Exam time! I think I screw it up, but my results is not out yet. So, let’s just pray even harder.

    Pei Yee and moi at WIP for a surprise birthday dinner. We kinda ditched him last minute and then turn up with cakes and mask.

    Then, we head to Showroom for 2nd round, with the flaming lamboghini for the birthday boy. Picture of all the girls!

    All the guys from my department!

    Andy found a picture of Jane and me in Zouk Facebook page. Hahahaha!

    My department had post chinese new year luncheon. And the food was actually nice. I remembered last year I was out auditing and when I came back they all finished the food. =_=”

    Gotten my cousin sister’s wedding pressie!! So now I am officially broke! Worse is after her bachelorette night at Play, The Roof last night.

    I love my 2 cousin sisters!! They are always there with me since we were kids.

    Yes, we are all drunk and puking. Hahahaha!!! Except the designated driver, Mei Anne. LOL!

    After all the fun part then there’s the sad part. I’m tired of putting a poker face at work to my team leader. So, I kinda show it all. And I decided to tender jobless but my big boss found out and gave me another proposition, which is to transfer.

    *sigh* of all the thought of making up my mind to tender. Now this. Such a dilemma! And everyone keeps on telling me to take up his proposition, since I haven’t have any offer yet. But……………….
    I don’t know.

    Running errands whole day today with my hangover. I puked 4 times and it’s bad!!! The only things that my tummy can accept is fruit juice. Other than that, I puked all the noodles and vegetables out.

    I am currently learning how to play darts! *yey* quite fun tho I lost all the time. Hehehe! Anyhoo, time to get ready for work tomorrow. *Monday blues*

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 66 : Another day of an Usherette…

     1     4

    What a day!!! So tired!! Was assisting the usherette job for more than half a day today, and I still need to get back to work because there’s 2 reviews due. *urghhhh*

    But we ended up with lotsa drama and selfiessssss!!

    Preparation for the gift presentation before Tan Sri Chairman arrived. His favourite flower is orchid. Hence, the reason why everyone is getting him assorted orchid from around the world.

    Setting up the waiting room for all the VVIPs.

    Then, we went and change into our uniform. “Now everyone can fly”

    Samantha, Suzanne and *moi*

    Guess what?!?!? I’m actually the oldest here.

     

    Day 68 : Weekend Chill…

     2     0

    For the first time, I’m not the usherette! *yey*

    After 3 years in the bank and I am finally done with being usherette. Another reason would be i am already old. LOL!

    Managed to get some selfie with Jane. Lotsa horses everywhere!

    Lotsa collage of him.

    Mandy just told me that Jane and I look alike. Hahaha!

    Finally, ex – PBB and current PBB with the Grandmaster.

    On Saturday, my cousin’s and I decided for a hairdo before the wedding. And I’m doing pink!

    Because my hair was too dark, they had to bleach my hair. There goes virgin hair!!! =(

    *tadaaaa* lucky not that spoil. Still soft and smooth. ^^

    Jeddy ‘ s masterpiece!! I think he got really sick of seeing me from 9.30am until 4 PM. HAHAHA!!

    I love my hair!! Although Edwin said I look slutty now with my hair colour. *sobz*

    More selfie with pink hair! Hehehe!

    Oooh well! Now I need to think how to explain to my boss tomorrow. Definitely beyond my league to argue with him.

    Monday blues begin. Nights, y’all!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 88 : A month update…

     2     1

    Dear Dayre,

    I’m sorry I abandoned you for almost a month. Been dealing with the water rationing issues. People are thinking I’m either staying overnight in the office or I’m too hardworking to be going to gym almost everyday. HAHAHA!

    I’m glad that I’m back at Penang for the weekend. Then, I can save more water for Monday and Tuesday. ^^ Another reason for me too go back Penang is because it’s Cheng Meng! Time to pray our ancestors.

    This is the time when paper cost shoot up freaking high.

    And I haf my favourite muachi! It’s been almost a year since I had it, as my face zits seems to be sensitive towards nuts.

    Last week, my dear @sereneyap came back from Perth for an event and the whole whore team managed to meet up and had an awesome dinner with sake.

    All the funny videos and stuff we do in the public! But I miss the time we used to hang out, parties, pillow talks, etc.

    Loving every moment of it.

    I look like I’m having short hair here! I can’t wait to chop off my hair. Initially was after my cousin sister’s wedding, but Rachel Tan’s wedding is coming soon too. *sigh*

    Love my souvenirs from @sereneyap and Aaron. More mani and pedi. *Yey* I think I should get a nice box to keep all my nail stuff. It’s everywhere now.

    Last Sunday was my cousin sister’s wedding. Been helping her with the preparation since a month ago I presume. Tired, as if I’m running two jobs at the same time. But it’s all worth it by the end of the day. ^^

    Last minutepreparation prop preparation for the walk-in sketch. Kindly ignore my homey look.

    Preparing black coffee to freeze the house key in it.

    On the wedding day……..

    I was so busy taking care of stuff that I don’t even have much pictures.

    On the way to the groom’s place.

    After a hectic morning, it’s time to get ready for the night.

    Selfie at the receptions..

    Night look..

    Mr.Alvin, who had the same look throughout the whole photo session.

    Had a few photobooth picciess.

    Goofing around with the bride before the walk-in.

    Eric got no choice but to layan me.

    A picture with drunk Daniel.

    Last but not least, my dearest Mummy.

    Hopefully April can be more eventful than March. Time to think positive and look forward for everyday!
    Luv,
    *rachelle*

     

    Day 90 : Cheng Meng

     1     0

    Dear Dayre,

    I’m shedding!!  Yes! That’s because I went for cheng meng during the weekend. It’s hot and sunny! Hence, my sunburn and now my skin is peeling. *sigh*

    Another disaster to my skin just like the time in Siem Reap.

    This is the time when paper cost increases.

    It’s my first time using the 2nd Penang Bridge. Extra long, extra mileage and jam. =_=”

    Had 1 of my favourite food, muachi!
