It's 354pm on a Friday afternoon and I'm going to fall asleep soon. This is my 2nd day in KL office and I had been sleeping late every night. When I arrived at the KL airport, it's already about 9pm on Wednesday. My colleague and I haven't had our dinner yet. We only manage to drink cafe latte at Coffee Bean (Changi Airport Branch) and I was havng a slight headache already, so the latte is just churning in my stomach, making me feel like vomiting. I managed to burp and felt better before we board the plane. When we arrivd at KL, my colleague who has been there for quite a few times showed me how to get around in KL. We took a cab to our apartment at KL Plaza. Good location cos i'm just staying in the midst of the city, a good parallel will be Orchard Road. Downstairs at my apartment is actually a shopping centre with Planet Hollywood.
Slept at about 3 plus in the morning after having supper with another colleague who went earlier and my boss and watched Jackie Chan's Jing Cha Gu Shi. Couldn't sleep for the whole night cos the air-con was soo cold and the quilt cover is not providing me with much warmth. When I woke up in the morning, I realised my my colleague also couldn't sleep cos it was too cold and we dun bother to get up and check out where is the correct button to press on the remote as it was dark.
Day one in KL, it's payroll period, so my colleague was soo busy and was not in a very good mood too due to reasons which I shan't share here...hee! My colleague, Mel and I stayed with another colleague till pretty late due to loads of work to do for payroll, seems like she has to stayed overnight in office..poor thing..We helped her a bit before going off with my boss who hates to have his dinner in office for dinner at Planet Hollywood. This is after a slight dinner of pizza in office cos we are too hungry.
It's Planet Hollywood 5th aniversary in Malaysia so they had some performance there, very happening. Well, all the performers are "female"..if you know what I mean. In their sexy wear and dancing around..eeks..dun understand why some guys are still turned on. We had skol beer, some platter and brownie ice cream. Stayed there till about 12 plus am and it was about 2 when we slept and my colleague is still working hard in office.
Day 2 morning, my colleague came back to the apartment at about 8am in the morning from work and wanted to just bathe and go to work again with us at 9am. Accounting is never going to be my career in future!! I felt quite worn out by now and my KL colleague just told me I looked bit stoned during meeting this morning. I'm just plain tired!...Thru' Christ who strengthens me!- that's my msn nick for the day.

Back From Penang
Exams in NTU should have ended officially by now. Enjoy yourselves while you all can ya! Just came back from my Biz trip to Penang. Praise Jesus! This trip was a safe and pretty good trip. Took the Xiamen Airline..heard of it? Don't really have a very good experience taking the flight though. First thing when we step in the flight, realised our seat is right at the back and the cabin overhead where you can place your hand carry luggage are full already. Most pple on this flight are flying to Xiamen and are the older generation, so naturally, they are more Kiasu and rough. Sigh....My colleague and I are so glad we are getting off after 1 hour.
While we reached our hotel (Copthorne Orchid), realised it's a 4 star hotel. It's pretty ok and the view from our room is good..mountains on one side and also overlooking the sea. We had a crazy idea suddenly. In order to travel around Penang, we found out that the cab is for a short trip is very expensive and so we decided to rent a car for 2 days...and I drove!..haha..Cool! We approached the bell captain and he assisted us in renting our car..Thanks Kumar!!..hee! After a brief instruction of how to get to the city, we set off and reached Gurney Plaza. Oh yes, 1 thing about the traffic in Penang, pple there dun signal even if they wanna change lane or do a right turn. I'm still a good Singaporean who signalled..hee! Gurney Plaza is a pretty nice place, like any S'pore shopping center. Brought two pairs of shoes there. We had ice-cream wafer for lunch and after the shopping, we drove down to Island Plaza to check out the WIFI there as we heard that the whole building there is WIFI-ed..hee! There are a few coffee place there..starbucks, dome and coffee bean. Starbucks will be our place to work the next morning..set! After exploring there for a while, we realise opp Island Plaza, there are a few shops and also hawker food. We decided to go back to hotel and leave our shopping bags so we can drive back there again for our dinner. After resting a while back in hotel room, we came out again and drove back to the hawker near Island Plaza and there we settled our dinner. After that, we decided to walk around the area and explore around. After a while, we decided to try Penang Cha Koey Teow. It's drier than S'pore, hmm..I would still prefer S'pore's version..hee! That's day 1 in Penang.
Day 2 in Penang, we set off for breakfast in hotel itself and drove to Island Plaza Starbucks to start our day "at work". We lazily started...after a while, realised the network there sucks!..keeps on connecting and disconnecting. Mt colleague's notebook crash and have to wait for more than half an hour before she can start again. In summary, we din get to work much and it's lunch time..keke..We decided to drive around to look for food. This time, my colleague requested to drive, so she took over from there and set off to georgetown just for lunch..I can almost hear KC saying "Siao! Go so far just for lunch!"..haha..and as we dun really know the road and was driving for almost 1 hr...hungry and warm!...We ate cai fan at some small shop and that's lunch...and i can't finish cos I dun like the food..We are lost!..Dunno how we can get back to Island Plaza. I approached someone on the street and asked and he offered to let us tail him since he is going back to city to send the rest of his goods and he brought us back to Island Plaza! Praise God for the favour and asking the right person! We are back in Starbucks and since it's hot, we decided to sit inside with the air condition. The heat is killing!..I was having a headache after the trip to georgetown and had to popped in pandadols.. Both my cooleague and I has no mood to work at all, so we just clear some emails and do the necessary stuff and declare off...keke..We are so dazed after that and just sat in Starbuck stoning away..It's evening time and we decided to head back to hotel. We had our dinner in hotel since i'm lazy to go out again. We had steamboat buffet..and waited in our room for Randy, the car owner to call so we can return the car. Getting ready for Sat's morning event (the reason why we are in Penang).
Day 3 in Penang. Wore our EPS t-shirt and set off to Hotel Equatorial after breakfast in a cab which effectively is a proton car. This hotel is a pretty nice hotel. It's on the mountain and therefore the view is great and the place where we settled down to start our recruitment exercise is just in front of a nice jap restaurant..yummy!..My stomach started to growl at noon and with my fav food in front of me yet can't eat yet made me soo....argh...We din eat there evetually. We finished and left at about 330pm. Book a cab from hotel to Komtar which is another huge shopping center and settle our lunch there. My colleague decided to go for foot reflexology there and I went around shopping. Nothing much actually..the clothes..erm..quite ah lian..hee!..We met up with a KL colleague and his galfriend in Penang for dinner at a very nice place near the sea. We had seafood and I think that's the best meal I had that day and also for the whole trip...keke... We had a fun time trying out stuff and he drove us to the airport after that. Finally, I'm going back home!!..Missed my bed! My colleague and I slept the whole journey from Penang to Singapore. Reached Singapore at midnight and my parents and bro came to pick me up.
With that, I ended my trip to Penang! Home sweet home!

Happenings
Hi pple, been a long time last wrote something here ya. A few things happened during these few weeks. I tried to enter an entry earlier after writing a whole lot of things but comp just started to hang while I tried to post it...Argh...
Well, I guess i'll juz have to repeat myself. The most significant thing that happened to me and my family was a theft case just last week. My unit got broken into last week and was quite scary just thinking back. It happened in the middle of the night while I was in deep sleep. However, there was blessings here and there in that situation. In short, my hp got stolen but the "kind" burglar returned my sim card to me, that's why I still have all your numbers. I've got favour with him or what?! Nobody was hurt (Praise God for divine protection!!!), just monetary loss. Wanna know the full story, gotta come talk to me ya. Time to catch up!..hee!
Then again, I will be flying off to Penang and KL for the next 1 month for work purposes. Therefore, I won't be around in Singapore. Dun miss me ya!!..keke..I know I will miss church though. Gotta bring over some msg cds. Sis's wedding is just 2 days after i'm back from my trip and I still haven't got anything to wear yet!!! Guess i'll prob have to get it in KL or have nothing to wear and seriously, "having nothing to wear" is NOT an option, so i'll just trust the Lord about it. =)
After the wedding will prob be Christmas soon...yay!..time to clear leave! Christmas has been my fav occasion somehow..not so much on the prezzies actually..but just the mood of it...white, jingles, silent night, wishes, magic...fantasies I know but it's the accumulation of the perception of Christmas since young..oh ya! and not to forget, the cartoons on Christmas morning..hee!..was my fav!
Found myself losing focus on the Word of God recently and has been phsically tired most of the time after work. Well, I'm still the righteousness of God in Christ! hee!...But am hungry for more revelations and things that will speak specially to me at this point in time, so I need the WORD.
Rite, that's all folks! Think many of you are prob in the midst of exams or finished exams. Brought back some memories in canteen A (my study corner). For those reading this entry in the midst of your exams, grace grace for your papers and go into the exam halls knowing that you have already got the victory ya! As for those who have already finiahed your exams, why are you sitting in front of the comp?! Go have FUN and party manz!!! Rest in the Lord and just enjoy yourself ya!
Bon nuit!
