My Awesome Kota Kinabalu "Audit" Trip

Before I leave my home sweet home, I just spent some time resizing the photos taken during my audit trip at KK. However, I realised there's only 1 photo taken for my work and the rest is L-E-I-S-U-R-E-!!!~ Anyhoo, it's also my first time to KK. Lotsa thingy to explore, so little time. Will definitely go back again for the island hoping and white water rafting!

 
Rachel Tan a.k.a my roomie for the whole month!

  Yoe a.k.a my bro for the 1 month.....

  Sadly our flight got delayed...... MAS!

  My Team Leader for this trip, Gan!

 
Getting ready for my 2 hours of sleep!

 
Finally reached Promenade Hotel, and we're ready to explore for our dinner!!~

  The route we took everyday to go office

  KK Waterfront....

  Our super huge chicken burger!!~

  walk to Filipino Market....

  Yoe and his chicken wingssssssss

Gan, "Rachelle, if you're lost I know where to find you. HAHAHA!". *moi*, ".....=__=||| "

On the 1st day of audit, I think audittee were quite shock that the auditors were there for the 1st time. Mr Lawrence, the Head is quite friendly and helpful, I must say. Quite a relaxing 1st day for me as I don't need to do all the miscellaneous sections. (Thanks, Yoe!) On the same night, I met up with Nick for the 1st time and we just went of a drink. Somehow the chillax turned to drinking game and he lost! And he told me how funny is it that we were both staying in KL but we met up at KK.

The next day, me and my impulsive decision had gotten my roomie and I a hiking trip up to Mount KK, thanks to Adrian and his friend's help to get us a place to stay at Laban Rata. Broke + Excited!

Preparation on Friday night..... Thanks, Jerry and Lawrence for lending us all the stuff. Save us lotsa $$$ to purchase them.

energy bar, which i don't think I'd taken any

  my life-saver!

  More equipments from Jerry....

 
Saturday morning, we begin our journey to National Park.

 
Gotten our pass......

  and begin our torturous journey up.....

 

  food provided by Sutera Habour...

  Look!!~ ME!!!~ I can't believe myself!

  Our dorm with 2 French Canadian guys...

Sunday morning, had our breakkie and head up! Yesh, it's 2am. However, the scenery is remarkable (but I still wouldn't do that again!)

 

  the porter is super gung ho!

  some fruit/flower we found on the way...

and I'd gotten my CERT!!~ *BOOOYEAAAA*

Then, I suffered for a week. I can't go up/down the staircase, and I can only walk comfortably on flat road after the 3rd day. Adrian had to picked me up to work and sent me back to hotel after work. Not to mention even carried me down the stairs when were in Fireflies. LOL! *tragic*

 
Somehow, I survived! Eventhough, the rest of the audittee were laughing at the way we walk........ for a week!

The next week, we went for seafood!!~ As usual, Yoe and me being our cheeky-self, went and torture the poor lobster.......

  I want this!!~

 
We wanted to go for beach party at Tanjung Aru, but somehow I overslept on Saturday, which is lucky because the bikini contest was on Friday instead!

  Sutera Habour Resort.....

So, Yoe and I went to 1 Borneo for movie and dinner and then, head to Times Square for some "chillout" session. Met Danny there with his clients. But we decided to head back to hotel early and call it a night as tomorrow, we're heading to GAYA STREET!!~

Besides the pets there, I don't think I will go again. Not because it's boring or anything, but because it's SUPER HOT & HUMID!!~ I feel like I almost die walking in the market. But it's worth the experience, when I see all the cute puppies!!~

  Look, Rachel Tan! It's you! RAT!

   
Look at the cute magnets!!!~

  and we met this funky dachshund!

  she's camera shy.....

  and I love hatsssss!!!~ But it's too expensive

  baby guinness!!!~

  we were exhausted! (and hungry)

  me complaining about the heat!

  (i miss my curly hair)

  kuih cincin....

Gan's Kampung Adidas shoe....LOL!

 
and they have cute ice-cream truck!

 
Finally, my hideous, hungry face! I kinda miss their bread, there. It's so soft and tasty! *addicted*

  sunset.......

  our hotel.....

  then, it's dinner time....

  a very tiring day for me! LOL! Lotsa walking

3rd weekend is Manukan Island!!~

  went to Jesselton Port to buy our tickets..

  Kenneth joined in the fun!

  *sampat-ness*

  Look how dark is Yoe! LOL!

  *fishy*

 

  the ride where I was toss to the sea.....

and the mini-mart guy was saying I'm a bottomless pit....

 

  because I ate 4 ice-creams! (and it's only sorbet)

  reminds me of piranha...

  swimming pool at night!

On the same day, Gan followed Mr. Lawrence to Tamparuli........

  Introducing, Mr. Lawrence!!~

  the famous bridge....

 
they even have Dusun song for it..... but I don't understand what they singing...

  that's my team leader.....

  the floating mosque....

During our trip, it's my roomie's birthday! It's so nice that she gotta celebrate her birthday out of Peninsular Malaysia for 2 years. Last year, she was at Kuching and this year she's at KK. We bought her a buffet dinner at the hotel we're staying and then, head to Le Rendez-Vous for drinking session. What's birthday about if there isn't any tequilla shots?

Feeling reluctant to leave KK, as there's so many things undone yet. I haven't been to Sapi, Mamutik and Gaya Island. But I did gain lotsa weight back and darker skin. So, I better plan on diet. Looking back at all the pictures really made me smile at the stupid things I'd done there. However, these memories are worth keeping. I did made lotsa new friends, and some are getting closer.

Updates for October 2011 & November 2011

HAFLA Belly Dance for Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Event!

I remember it's some belly dancing events too, but I was too hungry we ended up in Haagen Dazs. LOL!

  Samba Night for Camara Capoeira!

  It's Halloween!!~

After my exam, Hennessy Artistry!

  *free-flow* (I shall tone down)

 

 
My babe came to Penang to for the weekend and of course, we must go support our dear pekingnese for his capoeira performance! *bora bora*

 
Hao, this is where you wanted to bring Koay Ling last trip for this char kuey teow, and didn't want to let us know, so we ended up starving.

Ooooh well, this is how much I can still remember. Picciess for Brintha's wedding will need to wait until I've gotten them from Rachel Tan. My first time in sareee!!!!~

Luv,
*rachelle*

Abandoned - Hiatus - Changed?!?!?

I admit that I have been hiatus for quite a long time. I guess ever since September, my October plan was changed because I'm off to KOTA KINABALU for a month!!~ *boooyeaaaa* Lotsa memories there, but picciess won't be uploaded as I did not bring my external hardisk back. In summary, met a few people there - nice auditee - work is great - I climbed up Mount Kinabalu - gotten my cert - suffered for a week - Manukan Island is awesome - party is superb!!~ and last but not least, I'm actually having the reluctant feeling of coming back to KL.

Back to KL for almost a week and half, then I'm on a week study break, which I think I totally screwed up my exam. Been to Bukit Tinggi for the 1st time in my life and went to Genting Highlands after so long........... Miss all my hang outs time over there. Practically my second home, as per Qiu Jian. Went to Hennessy Artistry and got my low blood pressure attack. It keeps coming back more frequent nowadays. Probably I should really start to stay in-put for the time-being.

Then, now I'm back to Penang for 2 weeks plus audit. And also to pray for my dad's anniversary. Amazing how time flies. And it makes me realised that I haven't really gotten over it yet, when I actually thought I did. Rebonded my hair, so not used to having straight flat hair now. LOL! It keeps sticking to my face and I ended up tying my hair up. No more stylo-mylo hairstyle. It's just straight, flat, boring black hair. LOL! Went to Ozi's baby full moon party and realised I really have not much friends in Penang anymore. I guess it took me a longer time to realise this, that this is just my family and home. I miss home so much that I can only be a couch potato. LOL! Well, thanks to the loaded fridge with Haagen Dazs ice-cream. *yey* thanks, Nick!

Been in-touched with my KPMG's senior manager and KP's annual dinner is on 25th November!!~ How much I miss the fun of it! Never lucky in the lucky draw, not much about the food or the speech, it's all about photo taking session and free-flow of drinksssss!!~ And then, we gotta watch lotsa drama of senior scolding manager, directors and partners! HAHAHAHA!!~

Okies..... Short entry for this time! Will drop by more often to update! back to 'The Secret Circle'. Chao, nos vemos!

  I miss my curly hair!!!~

Luv,
*rachelle*

Le Bouchon, Changkat (27092011) - Juliet's 36th Birthday

Yes, this time I had been off for almost 2 months. I don't have lotsa picciess with me, not even my own birthday bash's picciess. Gonna get them from Serene soon. ^_^

However, what I have now is Juliet's birthday bash yesterday! I decided to make it in Le Bouchon, a French restaurant at Changkat, Bukit Bintang. Totally adore the place!!~ However, it does come with a price. =__="

 awesome chocolate cake!

 

 

 

We're a bunch of vainpot poser!!` Hahahaha!!~ Well, I guess they got influenced by me. ^_^

That's all for the night! Gonna post a blog on my Bangkok trip a month ago, which I had already uploaded the picciess. ^_^ Time for bed! Need to recover before my next audit to KK. Hope I had a real good time there. Been really stressed-up in office due to the amendment of audit programme. *sigh* Don't even wanna think how to survive tomorrow. Sweet dreamz, peepz!! Promised to blog more *cross-fingers* So much to update, so little time.

Please visit to the Breast Cancer Awareness Event, and do make some donation!!~ Your thoughtful heart will be sincerely appreciated!

 Luv,
*rachelle*

Another Delay Due to Laziness......

Hello, peepz! I'm back in town (BM) for the weekends. I think it's been almost 2 months since I last blogged. Don't remember lotsa petty thingy that happened but how can thingy not happened when I'm a month in Ipoh for audit?!?!

Well, after Cambodia, I was sent to Ipoh centre for a month to audit with Rachel, Jennifer and my "ever-beloved" team leader, whom I think she can't stand me anymore, when she finally raised her voice at me saying, "Rachelle, you have to understand! I don't pump petrol!" Seriously?!?! My mom who's older than you knows how to pump petrol. And I was merely asking without any sense of sarcastic remarks!!~ (because I think your IQ cannot take my sarcasm). Then, I think Rachel gets annoyed with being my room-mate for a month (in a good way).

On the first weekend, I went back to KL for DAVID CHOI'S SHOWCASE!!~ Omigosh!!!~ I'm soooooo in love with all the love songs sang by him. It's just amazing!!~ Totally worth going..........

  David Choi.....

Then, on the second weekend, I went back to Penang. However, it was quite a busy weekend, with lotsa stuff need to be settled. Went back again on the 3rd weekend with Rachel T. And this was hilarious!!~ The drink - party - drunk!!~ The funny part is, it's not me! LOL!

After Ipoh audit I went straight to Singapore with Mei Anne and Aunt Lucy. Mei Ping couldn't make it due to exam. I love the short and hectic trip!!~ Man Man jie jie brought us around to sooooo many places I've never been to! I'm definitely going back again, especially to Universal Studio. Due to some misfortune, I didn't got to finish all the rides. So, below r some picciess from Singapore.

  First stop on Friday morning, DIM SUM!

  I can't read chinese..... I need my mom!

  it's called goldfish *****

 
it's actually quite gruesome to eat it, because yu can imagine that you're actually putting a goldfish in your mouth, and when you're bitting off the head, it just doesn't feel right.

 
The, it's shopping at Orchard!!~ met Jane there after her meeting at JB

  We're cousin, we're posers!

  Night walk.....

Loving the next day in Universal Studio!!~

  Rachel T, it's PO!

  We're lazy to queue up for the Frankenstein

  I love this creature!

  Shrek (Gary) & Princess Fiona

 
*spot me*

 

  I actually thought it a real scroll. *conned*

  LUNCH TIME!

  DIG IN!

  I bought the potion bottle!

  Isn't it cute?!?

Yeaaaaa..... I queued for 2 hours, just to get wet in this ride.
 

and I'm digging the cold-water-sprinkler-fan! Should have stole it from Man Man jie jie.

Charlie is adorable!!~

 
Empire Hotel actually reminds me of Gossip Girl instead of Betty Boops.

Met Cheng Li and Raymond at Universal Studio for the fireworks. At night, we had curry laksa steamboat and then, sleep! I don't believe that time passed extremely fast when you're having fun.

The next day, we went shopping at Bugis Street, then back to Orchard Far-East to get something. The, we went to Marina B*** (I forgot what is it called, but it's a cool place! If i'm staying there, for sure I'll be lazing around there for the weekends )

  Look at the place! Kites and picnics!

Reluctantly, it's time for us to leave and go back to reality! During the trip, I received a call from my lady boss saying that, Public Affairs Division wanted me to be the usherette for Annual Dinner. I shouldn't have activated my roaming. *urgh*

So, the next day was outfit trying.

  Another gurl wanted this colour, so i choose the other one.

  
Maroon!!~ It's awfully long and I don't know how i manage to fit into the Super XS size. And because of this dress I have to do sit-ups to get rid of my tummy.

 
Then, it's the rehersal on the day before the actual dinner. I can't help laughing. (I'm mean, I know)

My French bun, ended up like a SIA stewardess. They just don't understand simple.

 
Thanks, Jacky and Kent for the picciess. Because I was so busy on standby-mode and walking around, I didn't snap much picciess, nor eat, nor drink. *suckz*

  Julie from PB Trustee, another usherette.

  Mavis, Ying Ying, Abigail, Julie & *moi*

Shah, from PB Card, awesome performance and congratz on being the Champion!!~ POPPAJAZZ RULEZ!

 
Connie, from PB Card. Fellow usherette and ex-Miss Head Office PBB!
  

Haizuran & *moi* (As usual, we can't live each day without quareling)

Other usherettes, Patma & Angel (whom I'm auditing right now, Wilayah and Selangor Credit Control Centre)

Putri, from Corporate Banking and Zairina, from PB Card (Top Usherette)

 
Chew and Alan from IS Audit

 
Mr.Watt, from PB Card (yeaaaa, i realised I got more PB Card friends than others. I'm such an anti-social person)

Finally my fellow colleague!!~ Yoe........ The rest of the picciess is with Gan who flew off to Cambodia. =__=" *sweat*

 
*tadaaaaa* My lovely cousin, Mei Ping, who is doing performance for Whacking Hips. They are so much more fun!

 
My dearie Rachel O, and Mark from IS Audit

Best Female dancer, Felicia, also from PB Card. She's amazing, to be able to split in the mid-air and being toss around (Flyer)

  Eric

  and Jacky, also from PB Card

    
Kent & *moi*, from Sales & Marketing Division. See the difference?!?! ^_^

Ok, I guess that's practically what's happening for the past 2 months. Nothing much if I'm able to summarized all in a blog entry! OoooooooOOOOOOhhhhHHHHH!!!~ How can I not mention this! I've gotten my Ipad 2!!~ *yey* But seems like my brother is more hooked to it than I am. ooooh well! I'm going back to KL tomorrow anyhoo. So, just let him have it for a while. Seeeeeeeeeeee!!~ I can be a good sis as well, when I wanted to be one.

I'm going to Bangkok next weekend. So, more picciess by then, I hope. I'm so broke right now I don't know how to survive for the next month. Brintha just invited me to her wedding this year end on November, and I now have to dig out some money to get a nice saree, which I don't even know how to wear it. Hope I can get some pretty colours. ^_^

Okies, Time to hit the sack! Gonna wake up early tomorrow for breakfast with Eu-berry and to finished up my Close Attention Accounts. *sigh* Hate work! Buenos Noches, mi amigo!

Luv,
*rachelle*

They serve fruit juice warm. =_=" I don't understand why. It doesn't quench thirst as well.

Then, we head back to hotel for a shower and rest until we headed out to Angkor Watt for sunset. The heat is killing me, even the tour guide said it's better we don't go out in the afternoon. So, when we headed back to hotel, that's it! I had sunburnt and major breakouts to my face. @_@

Serene & Hao went for fish spa. Then, we all went for full body massage and foot reflexology!!~ *bliss*

Guess, that's all for my trip. No hardcore partying, nor drinking. Just relax and sight-seeing. It's a good trip I have to say, with my Serene babe and it's CHEAP!!!~ Total expenses (inclusive of everything) is less than RM1.2K!!~ When I said everything I mean food, drinks, souvenirs, hotel, flight, tour, passes, tax! ^_^

HAHAHAHA!!~ But I would need to pass annual dinner first. Please pray for me for not being selected to do performance!!~ *pray pray pray* =(

Anyhoo, time to hit the sack! Gonna type more post and less picciess next. Hope it's not a bore. Buenas Noches, mi amigas! *beso beso*

 Luv,

Ups and Downs in the Month of April 2011.....

Yes, I had been hiatus for more than a month. Well, I was allocated to audit Penang's centre, so, I'm practically in Penang for a month!!~ Happy and sad for all the shitz that had happened. Will update more on the next entry because I think this entry gonna be long with picciessss!!~ and again, I'm waiting for Serene for dinner, so might as well start uploading picciess and facts later.

First thing first, PLEASE VISIT OUR BLOGSHOP!!~ http://micorazoncloset.blogspot.com
Just started it, so please support. Hehehehe!

Okies, back to Penang. Cheng Beng on end of March was purely meeting up with Rachel T. and Khairul because they were auditing Credit Admin Centre in Butterworth. Eventhough it's only half day on Saturday but we surely had the time of our life. Not to mentioned of what happened in SS. Okies, enough said and picciess time!

  Look! Lucky had thin down HEAPZ!

  and my baby monster had gain some weight after the aneroxic moments, which scared the heapz out of me.....

  after Saturday prayers, my bro drop me off at Autocity to meet up with Rachel T. ad Khairul.

Hang out for a while in Starbucks when they actually classified me as hyper-kid that talk nonstop. T____T
Went back to their hotel and get ready for the night!!~

  First time party at Slippery Senoritas!!~
I know I'm very outdated for being a Penangites and not been there. But i had heapz of fun! Dance the night away. And I got the Johnny Walker pin from the bouncer! *cool, huh?*

Next day was prayers at Ipoh, then back to KL. The whole journey isn't the same anymore without him around. The jokes and the works. It's just different. Every now and then, I will still wish to turn back time.

Back to KL is like back to reality, and reality SUCKZ!!~ Work is work as usual. Boring and lifeless. But partying in KL is always nice when you have peepz like them. My first Zouk session with PBB peepz! Well, different department........except 2 girls.

  Chris and *moi*

  again with Rachel T.

  Rachel T. - Rachelle - Rachel O.
(Yeapz! My department have lotsa Rs)

  and I met Man Shin too!!~ Ah ma as pretty as always. ^_^

  How can we miss out Serene in the party??

  Kenneth!!~ Bestest companion ever in chit-chatting throughout the night when you can't sleep....

  I love her!!!~

  Gary, Rachel T. 's friend, which actually finds me interesting. =________=|||

Okies, that's the night that I lost my voice, like totally lost my voice!!~ When I went to see the doctor, he even gave me like a week off and ask me not to speak at all. HOW CAN I NOT SPEAK FOR A WEEK!!!~ But the worst part is I have to go Penang to audit and I had a horrible time talking to audittee.

The next day, I tagged along Mei Ping, Soon Chin and Mei Anne to PetroSains. I'm in KL for like 4 years and I never been there. Hahahaha! It was fun actually, except that I broke sometime. Being nice, Soon Chin brought us to have some light brunch which does not hurt my throt.

  I know this is bad for my throt but it's absolutely YUMMILICIOUS!!~

  It's a volcano....I didn't know that...HAHAHA!!~

Then, it's my trip to Penang. Fun part is I'm back to Penang. Not fun part is I'm following a TL which I absolutely TL about. *urgh* Don't get me started with him. However, besides the big huh-hah in Penang. I'm loving every bits of it when I'm back to my comfort zone (family). And my whole month back in Penang I'm only meeting Ozi twice, KC once, Tony once, Adrian & Andrea once, Huan once which coincidentally we bump on the street, and Eunice once when she have to drop by my house to get the wedding invitation. *sad but true* Where's all my so called friends in Penang?!?!

Anyhoo, my first time to Charlie Brown's Cafe in Strait Quay with Adrian Leong (I just have to call his full name after my phobia over the name Adrian) and his girlfriend Andrea. Definitely for picture purpose only!

 

  Yes, I'm in my working attire. Total spastic-ism!

Don't laugh at me Adrian Leong, after I did that pose, lotsa people did that too!

  NERDY!!~

  Andrea's

  MINE!!!~

  because he choose this......

 
TIRAMISU!!~

The next day was Ms. Foo's birthday. All my audittees are nice, maybe because they know I'm from Penang that's why they chat more with me, except Mr.Kang whom loves to tease me and makes me confused. But he's fun to bully. HAHAHAHAHA!!!~ *opssss*

  Birthday cake from The Ritz....... very yummy!

  the amount and types of curry puff you can actually find in Penang. I'm amazed!

  I love the rum & raisin cake!!~ that's Sherine for it and Joo See for the Macha Azuki cake. ^_^

  Thanks Cindy for the jelly from Taiwan!

Yes, when you're back to Penang it's all about food and parties! ^_^ Last 2nd day before we pull out from the audit, my TL decided to treat us all Thai food. Also because he got promoted. So, him, Gan, Jennifer, Lisa (audittee from Credit Control) and *moi* decided to go to this restaurant................................

  It's at Jalan Abu Siti, where I usually go for the pandan coconut drink and also the coconut jelly, which Mei Ping gets addicted to it. ^_^

  Lemongrass.....

  Something that I'm lazy to eat....

  Clear tom yum soup....

  I love this glass noodles with prawns....

  green curry....

  otak-otak inside the coconut...*special*

  yea...i dunno why but this pineapple friend rice is actually yummy

the is the fried pig knuckles

  and i love this snacks! fried kangkung!

That's all for the trip for audit. Didn't really spend much time with my colleagues except work. Don't wanna screw my mood because of the TL. Hence, I rather go out with someone else.

  On our last day of audit, Ms.Foo treated us lunch. Mr.Kang couldn't make it because was drag by my TL for exit meeting. *pity*

  hardworking me to bring work back to hotel but I ended up lepak with Chris.

What I love the most about my Penang trip is my besties come all the way to Penang!!~ Just to let you know, the 3 days and 2 nights with you guys sums up everything in my trip. The wait and misery of work is totally worth it.

  1st day - half day was gone but we had dinner at Gurney Drive..... Koay Ling had her favourite chicken skin.... and I had my muachi... ^_^

Then, the party begins in QE2!!~ It was also Ozi's bachelor's night. So, more FUN!!~ But we started with different table as as don't really know the bunch of Ozi's friend. And somemore our table became their escapade from drinks. HAHAHA! However, towards the end, we kinda join in all the fun and madness and had a great time. Except when we wanted to move to Zenzi Bar when I realised in Ozi's car that I lost my watch. I somehow began to pour. But thanks to Ozi, Edwin and Adrian Leong for comforting me and the hugs (really needed it) and for helping me to find back the watch. really means alot to me. ^_^ *hugz & kisses*

  The babes!

  peace to General KLC!

  *moi* babes!

  my lou kung zhai......(from pre-uni)

 

no more emo~mo~mo Hao...

  Congratz to our Mr.Ozi Ong!!~

His last day as a bachelor!!~

  Party life still continues...DEFO!

  BLOWFISH!!~

  PEKINGNESE!!!!~

  Jason thins down like SOOOOoooooooOOOO MUCH!

Dance the night away....

Went to Zenzi Bar, continued drinking until 5am, went supper with Ozi and Adrian Leong at a place called 'Bird Shit', and I forgot to leave some food for Adrian Leong. HAHAHAHA!!~ So, it's chit-chat until 6am and then back to hotel and sleep.

The look after party......

  Had my favourite pandan coconut at Abu Siti Lane, but the coconut jelly was sold out. Chris being nice went to Dato' Keramat and bought me 1 because they only left 1. =___="

  Serene got her DVDsssss

  and I go Charlie Brown's again!

  tried the blueberry cheesecake....

  Koay Ling's tiramisu....

  Hao's cafe cheesecake....

  and Serene's chocolate mint cake...

Get lost to Tanjung Tokong for seafood. HAHAHAHA!!~ yes, people, I am direction blind! After dinner, we went back to get ready for Ozi's 'Lau Tia Meh' at his place (it means Chinese version of bachelor's night). Manage to find his house and lotsa people was there already, his friends and families. Hang out for an hour plus before we left to Slippery Senorita, Upper Penang Road. Well, maybe I'm being sensitive, because everyone has their own table and the 4 of us is sitting on our own drinking, chit-chatting. So, we just thought we can still do it at other place. Told Ozi how I might not be able to attend his wedding dinner due to some unforeseen circumstances, but the threatened to kill me. Oooooh well, that's much of it.

  KLC got the sailor hat from the bartender. Yes, he's cute and young!

  Daniel - Serene's friend...

  You know what have you done to/for me! *hugz*

After SS, we headed over to Daniel's place for continuation of party until 6am, which I can't stand it anymore, I need to sleep or else I won't have any sleep until after Ozi's wedding dinner.

On the wedding day, Serene, KLC and Hao left back to KL because Serene had a meeting to attend to. Thanks, Yih Ting for the ride to the dinner *appreciated* Nathan boy is superrrrrrrr adorable!!~ Supposed to follow her back at 9pm but Andrea offered to drop me home instead so I can attend the dinner until it ends. Which I'm glad I did because I can how appreciative Ozi is.

And not to mention how amazed am I that I din touch a sip of alcohol that night. I'm purely sitting pretty and play with my blackberry.

  Busy finding people to drink, as usual....

  drink more than eat......

  drunkard sleeping by the roadside....

  Andrea......

  I somehow looks like a pregger here...... T____T

  kindly ignore Adrian Leong, but I like this piccie!!~ I look thin!!~ Hehehehe!!

  Dylan, enjoying himself to the max....

After the dinner, we continue the party in RED, Belisa Row, when I still remains anti-social. I think there's almost 20 people asking me what's wrong with me. HA! Seriously, am I really that loud all the time?!?

Anyhoo, my battery died when my blackberry's battery died. I began sleepy at 1am plus and wait for Adrian leong to drop me home. But thanks for the ride and Choon for driving. ^_^ Nice to meet you that night, and got to know you're actually working in HP as FA for EMEA. LOL! the world is really small.

  So, it's back to office!

  Gan is trying out my GF1

A week later is Chris's birthday and we went to try Betty's Midwest Kitchen at Aman Suria. THEY SERVE BUD'S ICE-CREAM!!!!!~

  Yea, they have "Dog Food"....... *cool*

  Love for Bud's

Then, Aunt Lucy and Sally came back from their Europe trip and these are my souvenirs! More like for my mom, not me. (according to them)

 

Wonder when I will have the money and chance to go for Europe trip. *hmmmmmmmm* Oooooh well, next entry is gonna be my CAMBODIA TRIP!!~ yes, people, I just came back from Siem Reap, Cambodia. I had a major breakouts due to the hot weather there. My face and skin was a disaster right now. I hope it can heal in time for my company's annual dinner. It's embarrassed enough to met my 2 cuties in the same day I came back to office with such disastrous condition.

Okies, time for me to sign off. Aunt Lucy is asking me to go home early/stay over. But I did not bring any stuff for work tomorrow. Not to mentioned most of my colleagues are not working. So, I'm gonna be like all alone!!~ *boooohoooo* Till next time, which I promised it's not gonna be a month wait. >.<

Luv,

A Month of Hiatus.....

Yes, I'd disappear for another month! But things were pretty hectic for me after the training. I was allocated for a new audit, then I have to get ready for Nourooz Day performance, then it was my dad's 100 days of demise and also cheng beng.

Let's see...... Where shall I begin? My dad's 100 days of demise? I went back on Saturday morning, as the prayers was on Sunday. Spent the whole Saturday taking care of my baby monster because he's somewhat depression and not eating and now he's aneroxic! Sent him to the vet and forced him to take medicine. (Trust me.... it's even harder to get Lucky or Pumpkin or even Cayenne to take medicine). It took 4 of us to get him eat the medicine for 1 hour! It's really tiring. But anyhoo, he's recovering now, but still picky towards food.

The prayers went well. I can't believe it's already 100 days. And we're pretty much moving on, but I just haven't really let go yet. Mom and bro and aunt went for some ritual to ask him up for a chat. (It's some chinese thingy) And I can't believe they never ask me along. *URGH* Guess what?!? The first question he ask is where am i? When I heard this, I just automatically teared. It had been months and still it hurt me so much. Kenneth said that I'm a strong girl. But I don't think I am, I never was. I pretended to be one. I do need someone to talk to, but there's just no one right now. Maybe I can talk to a stranger better. At least they don't give me the judgemental look and comment. All the people I ever trusted, I end up finding them bitching about me and end up criticising in front of me. "Thank you very much! I really do need that now. You guys are being so supportive!"

Then, it was the performance week. We nailed it! *BOOOYEAAAA* It was held in The Palace, Shereton Imperial Hotel on 20th March 2011. Lotsa belly dancers in the club!

  The dance floor.....

  The bar and Nancy telling them what to do...

  Rehersal night! *spot me*

Nancy trying to make her daughter smile with her ballet dance...

  Mei Ping and *moi* Mei Anne is somewhere

On the day itself, we can't eat before the performance. Slight butterfly in the tummy......

  Performance time!!~

After performance, we ate and drink non-stop! Then, more dance and picciess!!~ Yeaaaa..... and then my camera ran out of battery! *dang it* But it was all fun!!

  When the party ends........

  it's time for?!?!?..........................

MAMAK!!~ *weeeeeeee* So, we ended up reached home around 3am. And did I mentioned before how much I hate to put on make up?!? That is because I hate removing them!!!~

On the same week, it's Yen Aun's 5th Birthday!!~ Mom followed them down to KL for a short visit. *weeeeee* How much I misses that. Dad and mom used to come down KL to look for me quite frequent. Even when I was working in KPMG and had absolutely no time for them.

The fruit cake Mei Ping, Mei Anne and *moi* bought for him, as per requested. It's absolutely delicious! I want TIRAMISU KAHLUA for my birthday!!!~

  My cutie nephew......

He's 1 of the million babies in the world that I absolutely love and adore!

After the birthday party, it's my party with KPMG peepz!!~ I'm just dancing my night away. Regretted that I wore heels. Should have wore flats. But the night was FUN!

  With my piu kor.....

  With my babe!!

  Jane babe.....

  Cheryl, the organiser.....

  Tai Pau and Man Man (as annoying as ever)

  Edward.... Long time no see!

  and Sylvan too.... My ex-senior!

That was it for the month of March!! I did went back to Penang again for cheng beng, last week. It was really rush and I brought some work back. So nothing much happened, except the awesome night I had with Rachel and lame-Khairul!!~ Picciess will be up later as I can't find the memory card reader. 

Met up with them at Starbucks, Autocity. Crapz for a moment, then, headed to Sunway Carnival Mall. Wanted to go for movies but none can meet our time, so we ended up shopping. (More like window shopping) Then, I followed them back to their hotel for a short rest. But I ended up chit-chatting with Rachel the whole time. Of all the things we shared. After that, we went for a dinner at UPR and then to SS. (*YEY* Finally I'd been to SS) Dance the night away, as usual, and manage to get a Johnny Walker badge from the bouncer!! *weeee* Very cute badge! The guitarist in the live band was pretty cool, as well. Maybe I just had the thingy with people playing guitar. *hmmmmm* Richie Sambora?!? And from this day onwards, I was known as the hyper kid.

Talking about kid. I just save out some picciess from my GF1 camera because Poh Ling jie jie needed my memory card for her Europe trip. And guess what I'd found?!?! My tiny innocent baby monster!!~

  he used to be so tiny!

  as big as an Astro remote control...

  isn't he the darnest creature ever??

  i miss him already.....

I don't know why you guys keep on saying he's e-v-i-l?!?! He's soooo not!

Anyhoo..... Time to hit the sack! I'm sick already and the doctor gave me like bloody lotsa medicine even my colleague, Alan was shocked, because usually that dispensary gave very little quatity. But yeaaaa.... I had syrup and pills, for gargled, for swallowed and for chewed. But the rest of the supplements is just daily intakes which I can stop now since I'm on medication. *sigh* The sickness is getting me weak and cuckoo.

Before I leave, huge announcement to make. I'M GOING BACK PENANG FOR A MONTH!!~ *weeeee* My next audit will be in Penang branch, Jalan Bishop. Wanna meet up, anyone?!? By all means, call me after office hour!! If my SIC let me go them I'm off!!~ *yey* But I have a feeling he's gonna make Penang a happy and sad place for me........... =_=" The reason is, he's just being him! *sigh* But I'll e meeting Rachel and lame-Khairul again for at least 3 to 4 days! *happy* But because of this trip I have to forgo my Spanish already. Because there isn't any intake after this anymore. *sigh*

Buenos Noches!!~ Te estrano...........

Luv,
*rachelle

Back to Sucky Reality.....

3 days of training really dry my energy up completely!!~ Can't even replenish any of it eventhough I woke up at 2pm today. It all started on Tuesday when I first came back to KL. I'm down with flu. Took a pill and went to bed by 12am because I need to be in office at 7.30am the next day, which I managed to do it. But the stupid me went up to division to find the doors were locked and I got no where to go. So, I went NZ mamak for breakfast (lucky I brought my Nintendo DS to accompany me) and I texted Juliet as to whether I missed out any last memo. Managed to catch the ride to Putrajaya. And that's for the Drum Training : Managing Pressure in the Workplace.

  I got no idea what's with the decoration....

  Juliet, Sue Fei, Rachel Ong & *moi*

The training was fun, but I had headache after the drum and orchestra thingy. So, I took another pill and went to bed without dinner.

The next day was epic! I got lost going to Bangi for training, but I still manage to reached there on the dot. The it was the craziest but fun-est training I have ever been to; Black Belt : Corporate Culture. Lotsa games involve and I ended up going home with whole body aching, after 65 times of jumping jack and don't know how many times of running through and fro, and punching bag. However, when I reached home, I still manage to drag myself to go for belly dancing class with my sore-body. So, I reached home with total exhausted body. Ooooh yes, didn't mentioned I was picked to be the cheerleader of the friendly football match. Among all the thing and all the people.... ME?!? That's because I'm new and I haven't confirm! So, I have like 3 hours to learn all the steps.

Woke up on Friday with whole body ache. Can't even feel my legs anymore. But Friday's training isn't that bad, more indoors game and the toughest is karate-chop the wood. And I managed to DO IT!!~ Now my hands are with bruises! *yey*

I got my graduation cert after finished the task and earning 110 points. It's not easy to earn it. Imagine memorising 45 posters!

 
The wood as my souvenirs. We only got to keep the plywood, not the other one that is on top of it.

  *tadaaaa*

After training, we rushed to the football match. And 9-1 to the seniors! It's really fun to watch and funny too. Hehehehe! They also serve cupcakes!

 

  Khairul the loser!

  The one who failed to score for 2 PK!

  Rachel Ong and *moi*

  Kenneth and *moi* after the game...

After the game, I met up with Khairul for dinner at Scrumptious. It's nice!!~ except the fact that I got lost in KL and drove straight to the KLCC carpark. That sucks big time! I got no idea how many times I got lost in these 2 days. However, as I said, the food in Scrumptious is nice.

  Had an Exotic drinks, which...........................

  LAMB!!~

 
and always favourite, brownie chocolate with ice cream!

  and this is Khairul's dessert, Fusion style!

Reached home, super exhausted, showered, sleep........................... until this morning, more like afternoon, 2pm. I don't think i sleep-walk. Rush for extra class on belly dancing at 2.30pm. I don't know why i wanna torture myself like this. But the class was fun! I forgot all my steps!!~ *yey* The only dance I still remember is Waka Waka. Hahahaha! I'm so doomed for the performance in 3 weeks time.

Anyhoo, I'm gonna hit the sack earlier tonight, as tomorrow I'm still thinking to go Taman Pertanian to cycle with Mei Ping and her colleagues or I think I should just get home and start cleaning my luggages.

Buenas noches, mis amigas! *beso beso*

  I finished my Gakken Flex camera!

and my baby monster just changed to a mutant-ed chi hua hua! Bahahahaha!

Luv,
*rachelle*

Chinese New Year 2011

Sorry that I'd been missing again. Happy Chinese New Year, peepz! Welcome to the Year of Rabbit! I hope it brings better luck to everyone. I do hope it brings better luck for me. Year of Tiger is very nice towards the Fire and Metal tiger. *sigh* It's my first CNY without you. I thought I got it through, but I don't think I have yet. Yen Aun mentioned about you and he paused. I know he miss you a lot! So do I. Everything is different without you here. The routine is still the same, but just without you. And of all the thought of applying longer leave.

Okies, where should I begin? I had my Spanish exam on Saturday, 29th January 2011, and I nailed it!!~ *booooYEAAA* Well, that's also because Luis gave us lotsa "hints". After exam, we began our journey back to Penang, Mei Ping, Poh Ling jie jie, Uncle Robert and *moi*. Before reaching Simpang Pulai R&R......... I met with an accident. It wasn't that horrible, but my baby car is injurred, which means my wallet is badly burnt! This is one of those time when i need my dad!!~ *booohoooo* Usually he does all my car thingy but now................................. *sobz sobz*

Reached home around 10pm, mom knew about it but she didn't scold me. Guess it's an advantage to be in this family! After all the unpacking and all, oooh yea... Mei Ping is staying over with me, s, we both head out for our food hunt!!~ First stop, KUEY TEOW BASAH!!~ My all time favourite supper! And Mei Ping agreed with the taste. It may look fugly, but it's tasty! Picciess is in Mei Ping's phone, but I think I posted it up lotsa time before. Next stop is drinking chinese tea to wash down the 'oil'.

  Opposite my Primary & High School...

  They serve nice Char Siu Pau!

  Pu-Er tea...

First night and we went back home around 1am. Showered, play Nintendo DS and then sleep.
The next day, we woke up around 9am, get ready, and went for breakfast just outside my house with my mom. Mei Ping eaten the cheapest with lotsa stuff inside the curry mee. Definitely cannot fine it in KL. Again, picciess is with Mei Ping, but you guys can view my Facebook for the picciess too.

For lunch, we wanted to go for yam rice, but Poh Ling jie jie and the rest are coming over and asked us to go for grocery shopping, at Tesco. So, yeapz..... We missed it. But it's all good! We both were craving for KFC that time and we're saving our tummy for PUN CHOI at night!!~ We had dinner at Grand City Restaurant.

I don't know what fried rice is this. I remember something about pork and kailan.

  WAH LAH!!~ My first Pun Choi!!~

 

I'm missing it already!!~ Too bad for the late comers......

We were so bloated that night that we decided to skip supper. But tomorrow, we had our yam rice!!~

  my favourite yam rice, still as good as it is. ^_^

Mei Anne said she'll be reaching in like 2 hours time, so, we went to Tea Spa to wait for her while enjoying the nice Rose Tea and Herbal Egg.

  Rose tea, best for skin & complexion.

  The best herbal egg I'd ever tasted!~

Picked up Mei Anne and we're heading over to Penang!

 
First stop at Lorong Selamat Char Kuey Teow, because Mei Anne haven't eaten her lunch yet. Adrian Leong Ting Wei came over to meet up with us.

  Mei Ping loves the ice kacang here.

Mei Anne & *moi* (ooooh yea... I ka-boom-ed my hair! Still getting used to it)

  Mei Ping waiting for her char kuey teow!

Then, we started to round and round and round the island to look for The Chocolate Boutique........

And Mei Ping got amazed with the street's name, such as............... Love Lane.

Finally found the place!!~ Sorry, no picciess are allowed to be taken inside the shop. After all the food, we still manage to test all the chocolates in the shop! *YESHHH*

  And we bought lots!

I personally love and bought the espresso dark chocolate......

  and potato chip chocolate!
 
Then, we wanted to go for tong shui behind New World's Park, but it was closed. So, we hunt for coconut!!~

  Reached Abu Siti Lane for coconut drink and.........

 
coconut jelly! Mei Ping is hooked up to this, keeps on bugging for more. Hahahaha! Next round la....

 
She's amazed with the man chopping the coconut to make it into a spoon.

  Greedy me!

  It's mis primas time!

After feeling kinda satiated, we headed to Northam Beach for dinner. We ordered something light since we were already eating from morning.

  Had chicken sausage with cheese.....

  Orange juice....

  mua chi.....

  and takoyaki!

  It's about to rain, so we left the place.

  Guess where are we heading next?!?! Queen Elizabeth 2 !!

  Mei Anne had her tequilla.....

  Mei Ping had her mojito........

  and it's brainstorming time!!

 
I can see the outcome of brainstorming while drinking - we come up with funny names!

  yeaaaa.... And someone ordered wedges!

Then, it's loco time....

  who's the rabbit??

  and the butterfly....

 
this piccie just tells me of Edwin Chiam howling towards the Heineken moon. Alcoholic in need of supply. LOL!

  I got no idea whether it's bird or goose??

  and our miss banker doesn't know how to spell and count 1-10

Sent Mei Anne back and Mei Ping is staying another night with me. The next day was CNY eve. As usual, we will have reunion dinner at my uncle's place.

  Garden.....

  As usual, steamboat again....

  just like every other year....

 

  My favourite nephew, Yen Aun.....

 
my bro said he rarely take picciess with me, so he's trying to take a pic that doesn't look fat nor short...

 
for the first time, i ate quite a lot of dragon fruit...

 
and this is how my Prince Cayenne turn out, white! He's no longer chocolate!!~ I still thinks the groomer bleach him!

That's all for my CNY this year, the rest of the days were just prayers and dvds and tv and also chill out session with mis amigas! Met up with my peepz from high school. Lotsa catching up to do. And maybe of what that had happened to me, they don't see me as what I used to be anymore, and they also see things in a different manner. I'm not sure whether it is good or bad, but I hope for the good. The way you see things sum up a lot in your decision making.

Going back to work soon. *urgh* Hated it! Especially when I'm horizontally-challenged right now. I don't know how to face people. Lotsa work definitely, back to hectic life in KL *sucky* Need to enroll for the next Spanish class, then have to search for dancing costumes for the dinner and performance on March. I'M BROKE! Not to mentioned I have to pay for my contact lenses and specs. *shootz*

I did something drastic. I updated my resume, again! *sigh*

Time to hit the sack, it's 2.30am. I only have 6 hours to sleep. Gonna wake up early to bring my car to service and sent my little monster to the groomers. More expenses!!~ *urgh* Nitey Nitez, peepz!

*Te quiero y Te estrano - beso beso*

Luv,
*rachelle*
