A really short weekend at Sunway Lagoon

Heard so much about this place when I was interning at a local tour agency...
Was a little excited when I learnt I was going there for work.
Yes, I was trying to find joy in work trips. Rarely an optimist but am trying.
It was more exciting when 2 crazy girls decided to join me at the very last minute.
This decision led them spending $100+ on coach tickets (luxury coach with TV and more leg room - better than plane huh?) and 8hrs on the road!
I admire their spontaneity. I guess a break is needed.
Even when it meant spending no more than 24hrs at Sunway, not using the facilities (pool was closed and there wasn't much time) and the initial plan to not sleep so that we could make full use of the time there didn't materialise.
Well, we are no longer young.


They went shopping when I was working and sad to say, beside Mr. Grumpy and my dad, I've never seen anyone find shopping torturous. To think that they are women and that even the impatient men would have done better than them.
On the contrary, the 2hrs I spent at the mall for lunch and a little shopping was too short.
Again, that's me.
I surprised myself when I walked in to a shop and grabbed 6 pieces to the fitting room within minutes. Actually, why am I surprised, ha.
I only came out with 2 if you are wondering.
Nothing beats Bangsar still.


As for work, for the first time yesterday, I was a VIP at the event, giving away lucky draw prizes. Also for the first time yesterday, a lego toy meant for the booth activity was stolen!
Yes, can you believe it? I thought 'begging' for freebies was the most one would do...


Anyway, I didn't find Sunway particularly interesting.
Too crowded and too family oriented (spells LOTS of kids!).
But the Christmas feel was good.
Let's hope we'll do a proper short trip soon :)

2016, a year to remember

June has always been my favourite month. But it didn't start off well as I had my first zero sale, boo hoo. Never mind I thought. I've had a zero, what could be worse? Another zero of course, wtf! Fast forward to June 18, the mahjong khakis celebrated my birthday and surprised me with a cake. June 19, celebrated with the in-laws and ended the night with some sinful durian. June 20. 230am. My phone rang. An unfamiliar number and I was so tired I decided to ignore it and switched my phone to night mode. 330am. Heard the phone beep. It was the FB message alert. For some strange reason, I opened my eyes to check my phone. Two missed calls from my brother and the first line of the FB message read your grandpa is in critical condition... I started shaking. Returned my brother's call and he said the same thing, proved that I wasn't dreaming. I hung up and read the FB message my uncle left me and yes it read my grandpa's in critical condition at Tan Tock Seng...

放下

2016年虽然只过了一半但我却学会和体会了很多。 二月决定放下坚守八年的工作岗位去创业。 因为薪水大减,这几个月来放下一些物质的欲望。 但也因为这份新工作放下了许多压力和不必要的公司或人事纠纷。 有时也必须放下一些不适合这行业的做法,诚恳学习这行的窍门。 六月看到爷爷安详地离去更让我体会的能够放下的人才会快乐。 我会继续努力学习放下。

Out with brother

We look alike, don't we? Something small for ourselves :) We had wanted to go to Bishan but didn't think there's much to do so we went Orchard instead. It's been a while since Mr. Grumpy dislikes going to crowded town. Was thinking hard what I wanted for my super belated birthday treat and thought of the Korean restaurant in Chinatown... So off we went. Kimchi pancake Seafood steamboat - yummy! Rice cake before & after - barely touched because we over ordered! After dinner, it was reminiscing at OG. I had a great time thanks to my brother.  More to come :)
