“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” ~by Og Mandino
This has to thank to those Malaysian team who made their triumph in AFF Suzuki Cup that our Prime Minister had declared today as a special public holiday for all over the country as the appreciation of their great play. The most important point is no work for today. How nice!
I slept in this morning and only been awoken by a call from my sis. She is looking for an external hard disk, so I told her on the phone that I will help her to browse in Singapore if I happen to go there again.
Then, for the whole morning, I had been searching and downloading a loads of features from Apple store online, which definitely including those photography functions, graphic editing features, games, e-books, etc. The most exhilarated thing is, I have finally found the LOMO function on the web.
You know what, I had been desperately looking for that feature ever since I got my iPhone. I immensely enjoy shooting people and static objects, just figuratively. So, I always want to play on this LOMO effect. I found it’s great which can bring out some unique feeling of the object that I always look for. Now, there it is. I got it. The lenses are limited for free version unless you are willing to spend $0.99 for adding a new different lens. This is the only drawback unless you can get this iOS4.2.1 jailbreak.
Well, I won’t bother about that after all, except when I get bored with what I can play on iPhone. Certainly not now, I tell you. Hee-hee
Besides the iPhone4 which I received about a week earlier, my hubby suddenly bought me a champagne red iPhone cover and a lovely handmade little bag. Thanks darling!!
And me - I bought him this GETTER DRAGON model which he was craving for.
We will have a series of Christmas treat later – Shopping for New Year clothes, watching Narnia or Gulliver’s Travels in cinema, going for Thai Body Massage, and may be will go for Karaoke too after those if we still have plenty of time later. ^o^
These were what we had for our Christmas Eve Dinner tonight. We finally decided to stick to Japanese cuisine again.
I chose the Oyster Ramen as my favourite selection while my hubby ordered Yaki Udon for his. On top of those, we had some sushi’s for side dishes too.
The year seems to flash by. Christmas is soon around the corner again. To my beloved and dearest ones - wishing you and yours have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Healthy
and Prosperous 2011 ahead!
因为之前的言论有些过火，所以就稍微作了些修改来缓和内容里头的波涛汹涌。谢谢那些提点我的朋友们，让你们担心了。
这已不是假面佬第一次像颠狗般对我大吼大叫了。真以为动不动提高嗓子对人家（他甚至对自己的下属也是这样）大喊大叫就能把事情办好吗？现在咱们可是在一间国际公司工作，不是在路边卖椰浆饭哩。
在对我咆啸过后他就惺惺作态的写了封电邮给大家。内容不外是一些有的没的，到最后都会附上一句：＂Therefore, we need the support from the Test section to provide the test result to ease TLJ worry.＂
如果只是单单要求个数据报告有必要对人大吼大叫的吗？何况我当时在听着电话。一点礼貌和修养都没有。他的下属L刚刚找过我，说要一份数据报告，而且她要求我当下就要完成给她。我请她去找另一个专负责写报告的技术员R，毕竟这是她负责的。结果L说她找过R了，但她在生产线上忙着，等一下才能准备给L。
不幸的是，我恰恰也在赶着一份十万火急地报告，今天下午刚好人手又不够，所以无法达成她＂当下就要＂的要求。之后她什么也没说就匆匆的离开了。
过了一阵子，假面佬就怒气匆匆的跑来我的办公室，用震耳欲聋的声音质问我为什么没有人要给那份数据报告。我当时在听着电话，被着突如其来的声音吓了一跳。周遭的同事们也被吓了一跳。我匆匆挂了电话，就转向那个假面佬，按奈着快爆发的怒火，告诉他我等一下安排人手作给他。他依然不罢休，继续大声呢喃几句后才肯走人。他的手下刚刚说不能等，现在这个又可以等？前后矛盾，莫名其妙。
接着我就call去给另一位同事S，R是他的直属部下。S在电话里说R现在在准备着那份数据报告。天哪！既然是已经在准备着了，那个颠佬干嘛还到我的部门无理取闹。存心找我的查吗？
不久前他才刚在一项会议上冤枉过我，当时那项议题先前并不是我负责的，所以在会议上我根本就无法分析出事情的来龙去脉。假面佬强词夺理地一口咬定我曾参与那个项目，甚至还口不择言地对我大小声,但我明明就没有。为了避免进一步的争执，我请他出示那份报告。到最后在那份报告上根本就无法找到我的名字。原因很简单－－他根本就没有查明真相却盲目的下判断。
现在又当众无可理喻地对我咆啸。他根本就不是我的上司，又是直属其它部门的，如果不满意我的话大可向我的顶头上司投诉。没必要处处私底下针对我。我真的无法再忍气吞声了。
但我知道再怎么讨厌一个人，基本的礼貌还是要有。所以我就在回邮里＂请＂他下一次用礼貌和友善的态度来和人打交道。四处咆啸到最后只不过无济于事吧了。
谁知这个冥顽不灵的老头竟然不反省一下自己的过失，依然顾我地强词夺理。口口声声说大家在同一个屋檐下工作，应该要互相帮助。那你又为什么处处对我鸡蛋里挑骨头？
最糟的是他唯恐天下不乱，不管是大事小事总爱把电邮都cc到公司第二把交椅那里，这也不是第一次了。身处一定的职位，却连我这一个小小的角色都无法收服，到最后都动辄到老二那里告状，倒不如回家躲在被窝里哭好了。逊毕！
假面佬－－除了声音大到可以当车笛、爱以老卖老、缺乏逻辑和理性的分析能力与思考之外，还真的是乏善可陈。对他说道理就等于是对牛弹吉他－－浪费时间。
When I received the call from Maxis Center asking me to collect my iPhone4, I was totally running wild! I wouldn’t believe that I would have it soon - very soon - very very soon. About just in the next minute. Stay calm - I told myself.
WOOHOW!! I was still buzzing with great excitement. For a moment, I felt there were many little iPhone4’s hovering over my head in their tiny little angel wings. Up and down, as though a loads of musical notes flying cheerfully on the stave. Goodness.
Now, I can’t stop fiddling on my new iPhone4. Ho-ho-ho! Great thanks to my Santa Claus hubby for this wonderful Christmas prezzie, although it's a week earlier. Love it!! XXX
Just produce this lovely piece to symbolise our eternity love.
Specially dedicated to my darling! You are in every thought, dream, hope and desire…
It’s a rainy and gloomy season. I’m falling sick again since two days ago. Still feeling weak but getting better now except started a few coughs since this morning.
The weather is cool and very nice to just stay at home.
I turn on the laptop, surfing through the internet for a while. Not many things to update. Thus, I switch the screen to Hong Kong drama. It’s a hilarious show. Meantime, I take a pencil and make some casual sketches on a plain paper, which is about my actual condition now.
Then, I’m thinking about to buy a scanner for myself so that I can easily vault the picture I draw to the site.
Hi Dad, another year another day older! Happy birthday to my dearest father!!!
Ginger tastes spicier when get older, so don’t ever worry about your age! Instead, enjoy them!! Hope it’s still not being too late to receive my wishes. I’m falling sick again and being slept over almost the whole day. This must be the side effect of the pills.
Dad, tell you with honest, I’m so blessed under your wing, your protection and your care. You are my greatest father in the world! I hope you are always strong, smart and filled with love and blessing everyday every single moment. So Dad, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you for one more time!! Cheers.
It happened by accident. Nobody would expect to get a dreadful electric shock ever in their life, so was I. I experienced it before but all those were just small charges compared to this time which was about 380V terribly going thru my fingers and causing the skin slightly burnt. Oh SHIT!
I was doing a development testing on a new product this afternoon. I programed the chip on the power module, and then plugged in the 240 AC voltages to turn the unit on in order to carry out the following testing. It was nearly 400V generated in the unit. The assembly code was programed onto the IC thru a kit. The data was read back again by the computer for some verification purpose before the unit could be qualified for next step.
After that, as usual, I turned off the input supply and electronic load together. Usually I would just turn off the input supply but left the electronic load at on state.
Very unlikely, without any alert or even looking at the unit, I grabbed it nonchalantly on next to remove it from the test fixture. I guess I must be absent-minded when that moment. I touched on the component leads without aware of the big caps were still doing the discharging process slowly.
For God’s sake, huge voltage passing thru my skin instantly between the sudden contact and my fingers were strongly contracted on the board like a power magnet and could not let go for a few seconds. I screamed and immediately dragged my hand away from the contact. A little part of the skin burnt and my fingers felt numb and pain. Thanks God. On top of those, it did not injure much on me otherwise I could not imagine what would be going on.
This was the first time I experienced such a miserably huge electric shock. No more again!!
My hubby is RIGHT! I shouldn’t be so conservative about the whole issue. After all, it’s just a mobile phone with more advanced technology (my hubby keeps persuading me to try it out); prepaid and postpaid is merely a rule about either paying off the money before or after the usage. Not a big deal at all.
Yea, perhaps I was over-worried. I shouldn’t have to bother so much. There must be some advantages come along with the mobile phone that the whole world is crazy about it.
Ok, no more dither or agitation. I finally sign up an iPhone4 plan tonight at Maxis rather than DiGi. Both of their offered packages are quite similar except Maxis can bond up to a year while DiGi insists at least 2 years. Well, it’s actually too long for me. I prefer more freedom and flexibility, so I choose Maxis finally. Around RM100 per month with extra 5% tax charged. Errhmm… it still smells pricey but look at the bright side, why not I take the chance to try it out for a year and see how is the service liked?! Thinking in this way always motivates me more.
I will get my new iPhone4 after two weeks’ time. Looking forward to it. My heart is doing a kind of jig now. La-la-la~
I'm still dithering about to sign up a plan or not in order to get a new iPhone4 for my Christmas present this year (my hubby pays for everything).
I’m currently using a prepaid line, never thought of taking any postpaid package. Do I really can get used to it? I would receive a bill by every month end with a roll of calls listed which telling me that you have got to pay off this and that plus some other anonymous charges which I might need to check where they are come from. For God’s sake, I hate this!
Second, I don’t want to get rid of my existing DiGi line. I ever think of taking DiGi postpaid but the DiGi centre nearby my place doesn’t supply iPhone4. I would have to go down to the town area if I want to subscribe DiGi postpaid with iPhone4. Damn. What if the iPhone4 is unfortunately showing some or minor issue and need to send for servicing? I probably have to drive 30minutes plus to the town again just for sending a phone for repairing. And, another long distance drive needed for getting the phone back afterwards. Goodness! It sounds so troublesome.
One more, taking DiGi postpaid with iPhone4 will bond me for two years. So loooong!
The only advantage I can see from DiGi is, the monthly charges are about RM58 plus 5% tax which is somehow cheaper than other lines. I think this is the only attractive point I can find about DiGi so far.
My hubby told me that the SIM card used for iPhone4 is smaller than the standard size. What?! What the hell of this sort of design? Why on earth they always want to be so customised and so outstanding and so different from others? Do they really know that sometimes it brings trouble to the end customer like me? What the hell is exactly in their mind?
I don’t want iPhone4 anymore. Go away! No more iPhone4 in my life, ever. Taking an iPhone4 seems to be adding a trouble to myself. My head is pounding hard inside everytime I think of those listed above.
My hubby is really a sweet darling! He always gives me a surprise just out of the blue and it makes my day! This is another one again that just happened tonight.
It took me really long time to get home. When I came out from the airport towards the taxi stand, it was already almost half past ten. Miserably, there was a long queue before me. Why on earth there were so many people took taxi tonight?! Jeez. It took me about an hour to catch a taxi home. Fifteen to twelve when I reached home tonight. I was frustrated, wore out completely.
Once I switched on the light and lifted towards the first floor, I saw these entire lovely handmade wooden Mickey and Minnie standing steadily on around the table as though they were all welcoming me home. Jesus! I know this is another surprise from my hubby when I was not around and he did that quietly for me. I always know that. I love you darling!! You are brightening up my mood tonight!!
It took me two hours to reach KLIA by flight.
It’s around half past four when I got off the plane. I had a long extra five hours before my next transit flight to JB. I pushed the trolley where my cabin luggage and the camera bag were and meandered from shop to shop in the airport.
I stopped at a bookstore, picked a magazine and stood next to the rack and leafed through the pages quietly. On and off there were a few people passing over me. I was concentrating on certain pages which writing about some interesting celebrities’ gossip. Oops!
Continuously I opened another one for reading again after I finished the one in my hands.
On top of that, I browsed the novels on the racks too. Thinking of buying a book again, no specific book I aimed to buy home, just any that could attract me (this is one of my favourite things to do when in the bookstore).
I found the Sherlock Holmes in two volumes with RM38++ each. Errhemm… A bit pricey. I took one of them down and opened and quickly glimpsed through a few lines. I did the same thing on another book. This novel is pretty famous all over the world; I should get myself a set too. Or, perhaps I could get them from Harris JB where I would be entitled for 10% discount and the item price would probably be even cheaper than these sold in airport. Right. I put them back onto the rack again eventually.
It’s quite some time I spent in the bookstore. Time to move on. When almost I stepped out from the shop, I suddenly spotted a book with a little bright red sticker reading “Now For Only RM15” on the cover. It’s a wedding book!
I quickly took it down and turned over the pages. There were many comprehensive wedding planning guides complete with checklist and every aspect that a bride-to-be should have to know on her upcoming nuptials. Why on earth I had never thought about to buy one of those? My hubby would propose to me anytime and there would have loads of things to carry out after that. Did we really know what they were?
Oh my God. I had to get myself one of these! I need a checklist! I need a wedding planner! We need an idea the order in which to plan our wedding! We definitely want to make our big day happens and cherished and remembered for the rest of life.
Without second thought, I grabbed the wedding book and paid off the money at the counter. Then I left the store with my trolley and the new wedding book in hand now!
My mum, dad and Ah Chii are going to have their birthdays in the consecutive weeks and I will be leaving here soon tomorrow afternoon. I would like to give them a simple but heartfelt birthday treat before I leave. Thereby, I asked them out for a family lunch at a Chinese restaurant after Sunday-worshipping today.
The atmosphere was filled with our pleasant pearls of laughter. In between one of the dishes came with a few big prawns and my little bro and I fought each other to get them (we both love to eat prawn very much). He had done really well with his chopsticks and hence, he won them at the end. Damn.
I still prefer to use spoon and fork instead. At least I’m better with them.
Ah Chii was probably pretty smug of his triumph that he slurped the prawn right in front of me with some bloody exaggerated arrogant expression. Damn again! Well, I didn’t mind!! Really! Hmm… whatever.
Guess what’s this? Eggplant - they call it. Before this I did not know what this veggie was called. I used to call it as “purple thing”, barely know that Chinese people name it as “茄子” (Qie-Zi). Well, my parents like it but I do not. It tastes YUCK to me. My mum likes to put it on the menu.
When I was a little girl, my parents always liked to put that sticky thing on my plate and I just wanted to dump it into the bin. If I did that, my mum would definitely give me a total rocket (I knew that because I had many times before and finally end up with more on my plate).
Anyhow, this plant is rich in some kind of nutrition value and it is ideal for maintaining optimum health. Also, it’s a great weapon for whoever wishes to get a weight loss too. Ha.
