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. =(

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.

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!

 Birthday dinner with colleagues for all September babies

 My birthday kisses!!~

 September babies' birthday dinner!!

 Floating village in Bangkok.

 Mini-me!!

 Vain Portrait!

 Meeting up with ex-KPMG-ians was always fun on a Friday night

 Mark's wedding n 17.11.2012

 After wedding party at Sepang with Serene and Jane

 Waikin's wedding on 18.11.2012

 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*
