Daddy n Mummy to UK!!! 25.3.09

Yayyyy!!! Nasi lemak and Bak kut teh coming!!!! kakaka... Finally, I get to eat the food I've been craving for lately! Imagine a group of 8 people (all above 50yrs old!!!) coming to UK! Haha. Enid, Amanda, Leong and myself rented 1 car and 1 van to Stansted Airport, London to pick up the entourage.
It was fun driving a big big van (9seater). First time in our lives, we drove such a huge car!!! Amanda and myself took turns to drive it and sang our hearts out to CDs all the way there. (Just to keep ourselves awake!) Still had time to pose for the camera as well. Hahahaha
We arrived at Stansted quarter to 4 and waited excitedly for them at the arrival gate. Tick, tock,tick tock... Where are they??? No where to be seen. Haiyo! Aunties walk too slow laaaaa...
Hahaha! We were all quite tired already and nearly fell asleep waiting for them. Luckily there were occassional jokes when we commented on people coming out of the gate. Kekeke.

After about almost 1hr wait, we finally see them. We kept quiet when we saw my mom. Wanted to test them if they can see us. My mom actually looked right at me and walked away! My goodness! My own mom can't recognise me!!! Alamak! Luckily my dad still can recognise me. Phew!My mummy (the one in red)Kok Papa is here!!!

It was a happy moment for me because I finally make up to my words to bring them to UK. My parents were overjoyed to see me because they have not seen me for a year!!!
I've planned a few places for them to go. Hope they will enjoy it!!!

Welcome to UK, Mummy n Daddy!!!

The MOST TIRING DAY of my life

10.3.09... nothing eventful except for the football match between Real Madrid and Liverpool at Anfield. But you could never imagine the throngs of people (especially Spaniards!) who walked into the restaurant to have a meal before the games start. My shift on this horrendous day started at 10am. I was suppose to go home at 3pm for a 3hours break. But I didn't manage to go home because the girls who took over my shift are considered new girls and there are only 2 of them to serve about 40 customers!!!

Dawn asked to me stay and I agreed. We were all working like mad. Taking food orders, drinks orders, run to the bar to prepare the drinks and make sure the food are ready in the kitchen before sending them out. My goodness!

I've never been so tired working in Sapporo before. By the end of the night, I couldn't feel my legs anymore and i basically had to drag my feet home. After a good shower and a cup of hot Milo, I felt so much better.

What a day!!!

Stay??? GO????

This is the question that keeps playing in my mind for the past 2 months. Time flies. With a blink of an eye, I've been in the UK for 10 months already. I'm gonna leave Sapporo in April and go traveling after that. My problem now is, I wanna stay here longer because my visa only expires in March 2010 but I need another job if I want to stay. Job is hard to come by now. If I can't find a job, I can't sustain myself and I'll need to go home.
Hmmm... Not a bad idea to go back. Missed home as well but I just feel I still want to see more, explore more.
Been pondering day and night, what shall I do? Shall I stay? Will I be able to find another job? Will I be able to sustain myself??? Getting the headaches just thinking bout this question. From the looks of it, its very likely I'll be going back to Malaysia by July latest.

Haizzz.... Stay???? Go????

Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!!

GONG HEI FATT CHOY!!! ANG POW MARI!!!!

haiya. wish my mummy n daddy can courier my ang pow to me! Gonna miss so many many ang pows this year. Waaaaaaaa!!!!!

Anyway, just wanna wish everyone a very Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!! May the year of OX bring many happy returns and may it bring wealth n health!!!!

Falling sick again!

Again I am having the flu, cough n sore throat. It has been really cold here. Maybe that's why I am falling sick. Haizz...

As if the surrounding is not cold enough, the heater at the restaurant has broken down. We had to work in a freezer and there is no where else that we can go and hide from the cold. Most of my colleagues are falling sick as well. These few days has been better in the restaurant. Think they fixed the heating system. FINALLY!!! But it is still not warm enough. Imagine having customers complaining that it is too cold and they had to put on their jackets when it is cold. But we had to endure the cold in our short sleeves uniform. Hmmm... No wonder we are falling sick!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!

It's a new year. So, I should have a new year resolution right??? WRONG!!! Haha! I haven't thought of any since I don't know when and I don't think I will start this year. Even if I do, don't think I will b able to follow it through. Hehe. I am just so bad at that.

2008 was a year to remember indeed. First time being away from home for so long and so far! Thinking of 2008, there were lots of beautiful memories made. With family, loved ones and friends. Thanks to them for making it so memorable.

As years pass, and as I am getting older, I learn that family and friends are very important in my life. Without them, who am I. I also learn life is unpredictable. Who knows what fate brings you and how it twists your life. But I am thankful that so far, life has been good. There are ups and downs of course. But as I grow older, I learn to embrace it bravely and not forgetting to mention with some guidance and support of loved ones and friends.

Here is wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!!!

Pssttt! I still don't have any new year resolution. Hehe!

Merry Christmas!!!

HO!HO!HO! Merry Christmas!!! Keke! I know this post came a bit late. Been busy partying! Haha!

This is the first time I celebrate Xmas away from home, from family and friends. Luckily, I have a great bunch of friends here and that made the celebration special as well. Had a simple pot-luck party at Goh's house. The simple pot-luck was not simple at all as we were all stuffed with all the variety of food prepared. We even had the same thing for dinner on boxing day!!! LOL!Look at the amount of food!!!

It was nice though. A small group of youngsters, all away from home to celebrate together. Takes away the missing home feeling. We sang, drank and sang and drank the night away. We had a kara-ok singing competition on the PS3. Though Jorge was hogging the mic all the time, he still lost most of the time. Kaka!!! Thinks he need more practice la!

Another of the crazy gang

Was hoping for a white xmas but there wasn't even one speck of snow!!! ARgggghhhh!!! Anyway, it was cold enough to kill me even without the snow. Brrrrrrrr.....

This is the 3rd yr I am not celebrating wt Dar. Miss celebrating special occasions like this with him. Guess one would have to sacrifice something to gain other things. I hope next year we can celebrate it together. Keeping my fingers crossed!
