X’mas Celebration ’12 @ 24/12/2012

Hm… Didn’t managed to have any Christmas Eve’s buffet this year, instead, I headed to meet sweetie SH for an eve karaoke session at Neway, Subang. Err~ I was very late the night, didn’t really able to sing any because I went to the wrong Neway outlet at SS2, PJ at the first place. Luckily, sweetie SH had reserved some buffet food for me to feed my grunting stomach.

We then, went to W.I.P, BSC Bangsar later, just to catch the Christmas countdown. It was the most happening outlet as compared to La Bodega / Chinoz on the same row where, we thought it could be all youngsters at first. But, it turns out the opposite where most, almost all the crowd were of the mid ages except both sweetie SH & myself who is still in our 20’s... : P We enjoyed the night with our all-time favorite Sangria, Margarita cocktail plus Hawaiian Chicken Ham Pizza as supper to end our Christmas Eve.

This was actually my 2nd visit to BSC since the last with someone 1.5 years ago of which, it recalled some of my down the heart memories with someone. Aside, I finally received a WhatsApp Christmas wish from a recognised mobile, someone that I have been missing for long, Merry X’mas to you too, darling… : (

We had our Christmas buffet at the gang’s favorite Swez Brasserie, Eastin Hotel the next day afternoon. The ambiance was much below our expectation though we have anticipated that, there will be differences as compared to eve day. Despite than the less merry environment, we still had an enjoyable makan gathering session with belated X’mas gift exchanged. Here are my received gifts:

The Body Shop Hand Cream from Kelly

Baskin Robbins X’mas Ice Cream Cone from SH

活着或重生... @ 22/12/2012

亲爱的玛雅, 我想借末日寻死, 为何还让我活着~ 要我继续痛苦地做个失去了另一半肋骨, 没有了心, 没有了灵魂的丧尸... =.=

既然还活着, 就让我也来转借和转发舒淇在微博发表的末日告白感想吧!

从前, 我不懂你, 你不了解我, 我们不懂珍惜, 一再错过... 末日, 还没有来, 天亮以后, 如果还有心意, 还有机会重来. 亲爱的, 我们一定不要再遗憾... 晚安~

What If I Die Tomorrow? @ 21/12/2012

What if Mayan Theory is true and I die… tomorrow?

Ya~ I’ve been seriously considered this question since a month ago when doomsday gets nearer and nearer. I reflected my past and recalled some of the circumstances that I have been thru over the years. If I really die tomorrow, here are my few notes to stay:

• My only last thank is for all my buddies and friends who walk passed my life before, thank to the friendship and support that you guys has given to me.
• My only last wish is for my family, I wish they can have a good health and good life. And of course, they can equally share my estate ( if any ) given the term that, to take care of my baby Oscar until it crosses the rainbow bridge.
  
• My only last regret till date, was the too soon decision that I had made back in end of Oct ’10, partly because someone not being insists on me perhaps.
  
• My only last word is for someone, my dear darling… It was a heartache but it wasn’t a regret… Love you~ <3

Would you and you all be satisfied?

Cold War 寒战 @ 17/11/2012

Watched [ Cold War 寒战 ] with my buddies, SH + Jess + Nixon & Melvin at GCS 1U last weekend. It was claimed to be the best and most anticipated police thriller movie in Hong Kong for the past 10 years, starring Aaron Kwok 郭富城, Tony Leung 梁家辉, Eddie Peng 彭于晏, Aarif Rahman 李治廷, Charlie Yeung 杨采妮, Gordon Lam 林家栋 cum guest starring, Andy Lau 刘德华.

The story plot begun with Hong Kong, the Asia’s safest city is about to be tested when EU71, a police van that full loaded with some most advanced equipment and its five officers disappears at nowhere out of sudden. Due to urgency, the acting highest Commissioner has declared and launched a rescue operation, code named Cold War to tackle the safety of hostages and retain the reputation of police force. There, it started off the cat-mouse chasing game between the hijackers and the highest levels of police management whereby, the hijackers possessed direct knowledge of confidential police procedures. It then, caused conflicts between both Deputy Commissioner of Administrative, Sean KF Lau ( Aaron Kwok ) and Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Waise M.B. Lee ( Tony Leung ) in said rescue operation where, none of them aware that they were actually being put into a stratagem that decides who will climb to the top when the Commissioner step down in near future.

Cold War brought out the power of struggles, corruption and inner workings of Hong Kong’s police force. Overall good, but I felt the movie was a little too many yet fast-paced plots that compact together until it has to rush the ending with a simple straightforward climax and unanswered questions that give leeway to further the storyline in future.

能不能够重来一遍... @ 10/11/2012

抱歉
主唱: 李圣杰

忘了我们是在什么时候
选择放开彼此的手
忘了我们为了什么理由
才会让你一个人走 ( 才决定不能再挽留 )

为什么总失去后才懂得
才发现你对我最重要
为什么到后来我才又听说
你最爱的人还是我

不想妥协 不想眷恋 我想你在身边

能不能够让我们重来一遍 你是否对我还有相同感觉
我不想要再对自己抱怨 也不想再狼狈
能不能够让我们回到从前 回到那一天当我们还相恋
你说过要陪我走到永远 还是你在敷衍

能不能够让我们重来一遍 你是否对我还有相同感觉
我不想要再对自己抱怨 也不想再狼狈
能不能够让我们回到从前 回到那一天当我们还相恋
你说过要陪我走到永远 但你却说抱歉

SPSB Charity Dinner ’12 @ 3/11/2012

I was being called for the annual SP Charity Dinner duty at our very own and brand new Setia Convention Center, Setia Alam last Saturday. As usual, we have to report at the event venue much earlier for task briefing, familiarize ourselves, identify our positioning and get ready to welcome / usher our donors. We lined up in line to welcome our guests when the clock ticked, where our kind hearted donors came one after another despite that it was heavy rain. The event started about an hour later than the schedule time due to the guest of honor’s flight delayed. As a result, all the ladies feet were strained and a seat is badly needed upon the arrival of the invited guest of honor. Me and few of my colleagues then immediately went to the staff dining venue to rest our legs and fed our grunting stomach. After dinner, we joined our donors and enjoyed the main program of the night, our very own in-house musical production as usual, themed “3+1 Kawan Setia” for this year. The floor learnt that SPSF ( SP Setia Foundation ) has successfully raised RM8.1mil, the highest amount collected todate. As for the musical, it was surely a successful show given the credit that 2 of the main characters are from SSR ( Setia Sky Residences ) Project, KL.

Good show, Ann ( MoiTeng ) & Diyana ( Tembam )...!

Cried In Dream @ 4/11/2012

I went down to Melaka again for another round of chicken rice ball with my buddies, Nixon + Jess + NL last weekend with an overnight stay. There is nothing much to blog about since it is just again, another cari makan trip. What shocked me was, my sudden cried out loud in dream the particular night while sleeping next to Jess, where Jess & Nixon were poorly awakened by my crying voices. I can’t clearly remember how the dream was and what is the reason that I cried in dream, all that I can only recalled was, the dream contents my late father and someone… : (

========

Crying in dreams is a typical symbolic that associates with the release of emotional pain & grief. It is also psychologically, an image for the liberation of psychological pressure or pain, or spiritually, represents the mourning over a personal loss. In general, cry stands for uncontrollable feelings or pain where the dreamer discharge accumulated feelings that saddened by events in the past, or afraid to embrace the future, or releasing emotions that the dreamer have either denied or suppressed for some reason. Cry in dreams builds often from inner tensions, stress and emotional pain especially if you cannot cry in the waking life. It could be something or someone that you need to deal with before you can move on, or a situation or person, in your waking life, that is the cause of intense emotional turmoil or that you are avoiding having to deal with. Thus, crying in dreams also traditionally indicates delight and big surprises after grief over a person you will soon forget.

========

Guess I’m really in tremendous emotional turmoil having seen the above Google information… Just hope that I don’t need another sleeping pills course ( the 4th course over the period of 1+ year ) to get rid of these emotional sickness.

时机 @ 29/10/2012

人生... 有许多事情, 许多机遇, 都离不开时机二字.

从2011年9月初开始, 我就再也没有登入过我原本的 Gmail 帐号, 那是因为我害怕收到他的电邮, 向我讨回我们曾经的一切, 和看见他有登入聊天室但却对我不理不睬. 所以, 我干脆把自己完全地与这个 Gmail 帐号隔离掉. 甚至特地注册令一个 Gmail 帐号以联系智慧型手电.

不知从何时开始, 心里偶尔总会有点不明的感觉, 总会有一点冲动想再次登入那原本的 Gmail 帐号. 但是... 又总是会因为某些原因, 某些障碍, 尤其是那害怕再次受伤的感觉, 而始终没有成功登入. 这一天... 终于在一个人独处在家的时候, 冒然地登入了. 不登入罢不登入, 这一点击的登入, 竟意外地发现他于去年年杪给我发的一封只有标题, 没有内容的电邮. 看着电邮的标题, 我的眼泪洪涌而出... (T.T) 为什么, 为什么世事总是弄人的... 为什么两个相爱的人, 会因种种而分开, 因种种而错过, 因种种而不能与自己一生中最爱的人在一起, 因种种而抱憾终身... 或许当时, 我们都太在意吧.

我无语... 只能强烈感觉到那被砸得碎不成形的心底里, 不停地传出刀割般竭斯底里的悲痛~ 除了因为现在的他已有了她... 还有的就是他可能永远都不再有机会知道, 我从来都没放开过手, 我最大的幸福也是能和他手牵手, 一起走下半辈子... T.T

爱... 是一种久违的心痛, 当你心痛一个人的时候, 那个人在你的生命中已经不可割舍了~ 我久违的心痛... 是他, 我极深爱极想去恨, 却狠不下心去恨的他. 依然是他, 还是很爱的他... <3

"你以为放手可以成全我的幸福, 可你不知道我最大的幸福就是和你手牵手. 爱是一种久违的心痛, 当你心痛一个人的时候, 那个人在你的生命中已经不可割舍了..."

~ 后记: 你在分开还不到半年的日子内, 在发电邮后的短短几个月里, 就已经和她沾上了... 倘若你最大的幸福, 真的是和我手牵手... 那为什么你又会和她在一起呢?! 为什么没尽力尝试找我呢?! 难道除了一个只有标题的电邮, 和那么一个普通的短讯之外, 就不能给我拨一通电话, 不能再一次找我吗? 你... 爱我吗? 还爱我吗? 但我却可以很明确地肯定, 我是爱你的... 还爱你... 竟然还在白痴地等待一个更本不可能的回头或回心转意... </3 ~

My Primary Schoolmate, William Foo’s Wedding @ 14/10/2012

Attended to my primary 6M schoolmate, William Foo’s wedding dinner at Ah Yat Abalone Seafood Restaurant 阿一鲍鱼海鲜酒家, Live Centre, KL last weekend.

William was a fatty classmate and also school bus mate of mine who I still keep in touch with since we graduated ages ago. I can still clearly remember that we both used to fight and argue in bus when we were in primary 6 because his brother always bullies my sister in the bus. William was of a bigger body build and I was just a skinny girl, but to my surprise, I’m always the winner of all the fights / arguments. Until… William can even remember that I bite him before in one of our fight. Perhaps, this is just exactly what the Chinese said “no fight no knew ( 不打不相识 )” where we then turn to good friend in later days. Oh gosh~ I’m getting old recalling those old schooldays stories duh… Adding to that, I also found out that William is also a good friend of my childhood neighbor, CheeKin a day before his wedding when we gathered at his bachelor night meet up. Also thank to that, I got a free ride from my good neighbor to the dinner. Hehe… : P

Back to the wedding, William did an extraordinary wedding intro projecting his Bersih 3.0 videos clips compilation that got majority of attendees buy-in. It was lucky that I didn’t wore my yellow dress when William told me the theme of the night is yellow a night before. Phew~ Oya, William is one of the key voluntary lawyer in Bersih 3.0 and that is why the floor has given him a round of applause after the projected video clips end. As part of disclaimer, those projected video clips have nothing to do with the wedding reception of the night.

Overall, we had a good primary gathering on that night having old schoolmates around the table. We shared and catch up with each other updating our current happenings. It was indeed a happy get together time thanks to William’s wedding reception. Wish you both a wonderful marriage, William & Agnes.

是心有灵犀, 还是...? @ 13/10/2012

自他离开以后, 我再也没有他的消息... 唯一... 也只有那么唯一的一次, 可能是他年头批量发出的一个普通 WhatsApp 新年短讯而已. 其实我也不能确定是不是他, 只不过是妹妹后来查得电话国家代码来自肯雅而估计是他而已... 我并没有回复, 因为他并没有告知过我他在国外的手电联络, 而且我也该知道... 自他义无反顾地归还所有我和他的一切时, 他的目的就是势必要和我决裂, 恩断义绝, 断绝来往, 完全将我遗弃... 而那一则短讯, 或许也是他在误打误撞之下错发给我罢了. 自此我再也没有翻查他的 WhatsApp 帐号或收到他的任何讯息了.

不知道是心有灵犀, 还是那强烈的第六感... 打从中秋节东窗事件起, 心里总是有一种不明的感觉. 在好奇心的驱逐下, 我点击查看了他的 WhatsApp 帐号. 这一击, 意外发现他从10月初开始就再也没有登入过肯雅手电联系的 WhatsApp 帐号... 反而登入了他大马手电联系的 WhatsApp 帐号和惊讶地更新了资料图片. 他... 以往都不从理会也从不更新资料图片, 可是却在她的出现下改变了.

原来, 我心里的那一种不明感觉与不安... 是... 他回来了... 回来和他的她共同生活. 直觉告诉我, 这可能是个多半接近事实的感应. 他现已找回 / 找到他的另一个对象, 令他这只远飞的小鸟归巢, 担戴承诺... 只不过, 那不再是我... 不再是他当初对我一生一世的承诺... 惟有我心悲切~ </3

无独有偶的是... 我发现原来冥冥中我每一会的不安, 每一会的心痛, 每一会的落泪, 都竟然与他有关, 远远地被他牵引着... 难道他就是传说中, 我遗失了的另一半肋骨吗? 如果是, 为何我们会分离? 如果不是, 为何我会有所感应? 还是, 这只不过是如有雷同, 纯属巧合? 看罢, 也就只有祂才懂了...

I'll Back Off, So U Can Live Better @ 8/10/2012

Saw this [ I'll Back Off, So U Can Live Better ] post in sweetie SH’s blog today…

It was the lyrics of a Korean song which I don’t know what the song’s title is but I do felt the pain when I read it through. Towards the end of the song / lyrics, I found the same naïve thought and forever unanswerable questions that I’ve in my mind or asked myself before and still… as of todate.

……
(You) were the reason for my life
(You) were all I wanted
(You) were the only person I looked at

(Why) are you leaving me
(Why) are you abandoning me
If it was going to end like this, why did you love me?

Maybe one day you will remember the day we first met
I still remember the promise you made
That you adore me, protect me, and only love me
I believed you. I believed those lies. I believed them all.
……

I’m still broken…~

八月十五泪中秋... @ 30/9/2012

时光飞逝... 转眼间又到中秋时节了~ 跟去年一样, 今年的中秋还是一个人地过... 原以为可以就这样过一个平淡的佳节, 可是一大早却让我从面子书上发现他和她一同挽腰出席友人七月旬婚礼的合照. 我... 瞬间崩溃... 我讨厌自己, 讨厌为何自己竟然会相信他是因为比较习惯一个人, 真的想独自一个人生活而离弃我, 更讨厌的是... 为何自己在超过440个的日子之后, 依然还深爱着他, 还牵挂着他, 还惦记着他, 还是不能放下他, 不能忘记他... 我, 那不由自主的落泪病也因此又再发作了. 原来这些日子以来, 真正孤独一个人生活的... 是我~

八月十五月圆日, 伤心无奈泪中秋;
疲累渡日两个秋, 思念依然在远方;
昔日所言实为谎, 原来早已另作伴;
只恨当初太天真, 痴心错付负心人...

我的如意狼君 - 为何还要等? @ 21/9/2012

“能够令妳(我)最开心嘅人, 亦都可以令妳(我)最伤心, 遇到我(你)只好怪妳(我)唔好彩...”

因为以上的一句预告, 俘获了我关注和守候TVB这部 [我的如意狼君 Bottled Passion] 在Astro华丽台的播出时段. 这部故事感人兼惹人热泪的民初剧, 讲述的是情深女子遇上相爱很难, 难以被猜透, 但又似乎是命中注定有宿命的意中人, 那种飘渺坚持的爱与苦涩无奈的悲. 剧中男主角佟本善 (黄浩然饰), 女主角徐芯 (周丽淇饰) 和其他人物角色的最终遭遇会是怎样, 我还没追看完, 只知道, 这部剧的主题曲已经深深地牵动了我的心悬... 加增了我的挂念... 撩起了我无比的伤感.

朝花夕拾
主唱: 张德兰

伤透的芯花睁不开 灰的天等你回来
一天一天应不应该 思忆中听你示爱
啊... 啊... 啊...

放肆朝花一息间开 凋萎一刻照夕来
漆黑的天一丝星光 悲伤中感到被爱
啊... 啊... 啊...

回头期望遇见你在步近如途人
我数百次转身站在问
为何还望再见为何还要等

回头能望见你在步近如行人
你我隔世可相聚没恨
离离合合错过仍还要等

啊... 啊... 啊...
其后若相见 可认出声线
情若是不变 爱没完没了

SPSB Hari Raya Celebration ’12 @ 10/9/2012

SPSB had its staff Raya Celebration at Setia City Park Oval Lawn last 2 weeks. As usual, all Klang Valley staffs were permitted to off and leave office an hour / two earlier to attend the event subject to respective office location.

I reached SCM about the same time with few of my colleagues, Mdm Lai, Ann & Jacky and took a photo together at the entrance as evidence of attendance. It is always good to have and attended to this kind of company event because it gave us an avenue to mingled around and catch up with colleagues from other business units before the event started.

We had a happy and enjoyable dinner watching our colleagues’ performance and best dress competition with laughter around. : )

Runaway Trip to Batam, Indonesia @ 30/8 ~ 2/9/2012

Runaway to Batam Island, Indonesia with my buddy girl friends, Liching, Chloe & Huiling last month end. It was an early planned trip since buddy Liching wedding a year before as a surprise birthday visit to her. Separately, we arrived S’pore a day earlier to meet up with Liching for a day out. Liching first drove us to have our late lunch at Whampoa Makan Place, Novena where we have tasted most of the local food within the food court to fulfill our taste bud and stomach grunt.

We went to ride the Singapore Flyer, Raffles Avenue after lunch, the world's tallest observation wheel to catch the magnificent cityscape with the view of Singapore's iconic and historical landmarks from the height of 165m. We also went to catch the Ducktours, hop-on to a amphibious craft for an hour-long land and sea sightseeing tour that further brought us up close to Singapore's famous skyline, historical landmarks and gorgeous bay view.

After both the breathtaking experience, John made his way to meet us at Singapore Food Trail ( 新加坡路边摊 ) for dessert and drove us to Hard Rock, S’pore for Chloe to express her shopping needs before he further brought us to have a tasteful delicious Japanese dinner. Thereafter, we went for drink at Fremantle Seafood Market, Clarke Quay before we were sent back to V Hotel, Lavender for rest.

We woke up early next morning and gather with Liching at Harbour Front Cruise Terminal for our departure to Batam Island. It took us about an hour from S’pore to Sekupang Ferry Terminal, Batam Island where we were then picked up by the assigned tour guide to commence our trip. We were brought to visit the largest Chinese temple in Batam - the Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Buddhist Temple for prayer, had our buffet lunch at Restaurant Sari Bumbu for a taste of Indonesia food, shop around few brand outlets, relaxing massage and an hour shopping at BCS Shopping Mall, Nagoya City before we were sent to check-in at The BCC Hotel & Residence within walking distance for refresh break.

At night, we were picked up to have our dinner at Wey Wey Live Seafood Restaurant, Harbourbay where, to my opinion, their food was just so-so at reasonable price unlike those highly complimented review found in Internet. We then had our girl gathering in one of our room after shower before we called the night off. Next day, we had our breakfast at the hotel, checked-out the hotel after we took our morning shower and made a short walk to BCS Shopping Mall for some final grabs before we were sent off from the 2D1N Batam Trip.

We reached S’pore in the evening, checked-in V Hotel Lavender and immediate went for our local dinner at the open-air Newton Circus Food Court, Clemenceau Ave North whilst Huiling went to visit her aunt. After dinner, we meet up with Huiling and headed to Ben & Jerry’s Dempsey Hill for salivary dropping ice-cream as dessert of the night before we ended the day. We bid goodbye the next day after we had our breakfast nearby and checked-out the hotel. Well~ It was a good outing overall, hope we able to arrange another short trip or, another S’pore trip to visit buddy Liching soon.

前年今日, 去年今日, 今年今日 @ 29/8/2012

"去年今日, 你向我表白爱意; 今年今日, 我还你爱的自由; 明年今日, 但愿千里共婵娟..."

这是我去年今日给某人发的一则短讯部分. 里头除了藏着我无数的悲泣, 还有我无边的爱意. 自他下定决心远飞和狠下心肠离弃我时, 我就知道, 无论我如何地挽留都已是徒然了... 我... 惟有忍着刀割般的悲痛, 还他爱的自由, 让他飞向他想遨翔的大地. 从此, 把我对他的爱, 埋藏在心深处, 一个人不断有日无夜地埋头工作, 一个人不停地在每个孤单的夜里思念着远方的他, 默默地在心底里爱着他... 我害怕, 不敢去尝试联系他, 甚至连所有与他有关的一切都处之不理. 无它, 只因为我怕我会把心底里的爱念搬到日常生活上, 不能过活.

不经不觉, 我就这样疲惫地熬过了整年多的日子... 他, 依然是我最牵挂的另一半... 想他, 依然是我每晚临睡前的习惯... 他呢? 我不知道, 也不懂得该如何打听. 同时, 我亦不晓得今年今日以后, 他是否还会联络我, 我们会否还有机会见面, 会否还有缘分千里共婵娟. 只清楚知道我自己, 仍然很想他, 很爱他... 至少能够在我觉得较平静的心态里念着他, 较舒服的心态里活着... [ 明年今日, 谁还等待 ]

我真的好想你... @ 20/8/2012

如果没有你
主唱: 莫文蔚

Hey 我真的好想你
现在窗外面 又开始下着雨
眼睛干干的 有想哭的心情
不知道你现在到底在哪里

Hey 我真的好想你
太多的情绪 没适当的表情
最想说的话 我该从何说起 ( 我应该从何说起 )
你是否也像我一样在想你

如果没有你 没有过去 我不会有伤心
但是有如果 还是要爱你

如果没有你 我在哪里 又有什么可惜
反正一切来不及 反正没有了自已

Hey 我真的好想你
不知道你现在到底在哪里

你是否也像我一样在想你

Gathering & Party In The USS @ 4/8/2012

I extend my stay in Singapore after the 2 days Ritz-Carlton 5-Star Service Excellent Training program to pay my buddy Liching & Meilee a visit separately. I took the MRT to meet up with buddy Liching for dinner at City Hall, Raffles Place soon after the training finished. We had a good time catching up with each other and discussed about our upcoming trip despite that the hard time to find a dining place due to the peak hour and lost while we were on the way back.

After bid goodbye to Liching, I took the MRT to meet up with another buddy of mine, Meilee at Yishun. Both Meilee & Karfai picked me up at the control station and leaded me to their house where I can then take a shower to settle myself for rest. We had a good night long chat after we didn’t see each other for almost a year+ since she has moved to Singapore a year+ ago. From work to personal, from personal to relationship, it is just too much for us to catch up, we only later then realized that it is almost 2am in the morning. We then continued our chat topics whilst we were on the bed until we were signal off.

It’s 4/8… Woke up and refreshed myself to get ready for our visit to Universal Studio Singapore ( USS ). We had our local breakfast near to Meilee’s house before we took MRT to Harbour Front to meet up with another friend of mine, TH who took the trouble to catch up and accompany me to USS. USS was crowded in due to weekend but still fine to pay a visit if one doesn’t mind queue at least 45min for an attraction. We first experienced the Lights! Camera! Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg in New York zone, we admired the incredible special effects where an empty soundstage with calm day setting suddenly turns into a stormy setting of a Category 5 major hurricane that about to hit the New York City which is then returns and restores itself.

The first ride we went was the Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon in Sci-Fi City, I was conned by TH to queue the Cylon blue inverted ( legs-free ) roller coaster instead of the Human red traditional seated ones. It was too late to regret because we had queued for almost 30min, so I can only proceed to ride the Cylon under a drizzling rain. Yes! It’s raining… where I ought to buy a raincoat to continue my exploration.

I then queued for almost 90min+ for the Revenge of the Mummy Coaster Ride alone which TH had tried before in Ancient Egypt zone. It was even more horrify ride than the legs-free Battlestar Galactica: Cylon ride to me, because of the dark indoor surrounding and one of its sudden reverse tracks. No wonder TH refused to accompany me for this ride… >.<

Rain came again while we were having our lunch break at Discovery Food Court in Jurassic Park / The Lost World zone. While the rain eases a little, we continued to ride the windy Canopy Flyer at Jurassic Park zone. In view of the long queue experience in previous ride, we were smarter now to take the single rider queue instead of the ordinary group queue. The line was way much faster as we only waited for less than 30min to get our turn.

After the windy fly, we watched the WaterWorld Stunt Show at The Lost World zone, a sensational live water show that witnessed a tidal wave of death-defying stunts, along with thrills and spills from real explosions of fire and water. Warning! Always chose to sit right back in the middle instead in front of seating arena to avoid being wet, the show was good in audience involving and interaction. We also experienced the Shrek 4-D Adventure in Far Far Away where we able to see, hear and actually feel the action right from our seat via the miracle OrgreVision lens. Then, we also took the opportunity to snap some photos with Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe & Gloria the hippo as we walked towards the Madagascar zone.

We then returned for our last ride of the day, Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle in Sci-Fi City which was early omitted due to technical problem. As strategized, we queued the single rider line that only took us about 30min of waiting time instead of 105min as claimed by the group of riders that share the same new Autobot known as EVAC with me. EVAC carried the riders into the center of a 4min battle between the human-friendly Autobots and the evil Decepticons, zipping through the subway tunnels, city streets and across high-rise rooftops through a variety of simulator and 3D effects as the riders volunteered to save the planet together with Optimus Prime and the Autobots.



Last, we also waited and watched the parade. Though the parade was not as lengthy as compared with the one in Disney Land HK but it’s still worth to watch because of a different experience and different characters. We left Sentosa Island about 9pm and ended the day having dinner at Food Republic, Vivo City Harbour Front before we bid goodbye to TH and headed home to Meilee’s place for a good rest after a tiring day out… zzZ~

...... There gone my weekend in Singapore after I had tea break with TH the next day at Fruit Paradise Café, Vivocity before departure to KL.

5* Service Excellent Training At Ritz-Carlton, S’pore @ 2 & 3/8/2012

A group of 60 SP staff were flown to Singapore 2 weeks ago attended to a 5-Star Service Excellent Training Program and experienced the 5-Star services at the remarkable Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore. The objectives of the team being sent over is to benchmark against the best practice company and learn the best from the best world recognized company.

We didn’t start the training program immediate on the first day of arrival. Instead, we were picked up by our friendly Singapore team members for a lunch buffet and at the same time, visited the tastefully designed show units at their new 18 Woodsville Sales Gallery, Patong Pasir. We then were brought to visit the latest Singapore’s attraction, Garden by the Bay at Marina Bay. We were later then transported back to check-in Ritz-Carlton (RC) and enjoyed sumptuous dinner buffet at RC after a short rest / quick shower.

We were leaded to visit the famous Marina Bay Sand Hotel for a night outing at the top of the hotel after dinner. There, we enjoyed our drink treats next to the roof top infinity swimming pool with amazing night view and skyline. After a night out and good rest on super comfortable bed, I woke up slightly late in the morning forgoing my buffet breakfast and rushed myself to attend the training. We were fortunate to have Alexandra Valentin, the Corporate Director from the Leadership Center of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company as our trainer to share the power of cultural transformation. It was a very fruitful training indeed, we have learnt the Ritz-Carlton (RC) Gold Standard, the 5 Leadership Principles and their exceptional customer service philosophy and orientation. Besides, we were also amazed by the employee panel session that shows how RC ladies and gentlemen fulfilled our unexpressed needs, their commitment in daily line up and their belief in RC service philosophy.

We debriefed and called the training session off on time to rush the flights. With that, we also have in mind that we were required to pay our full commitment in coming assignment to generate valuable ideas and establish Setia’s 5-Star Standard. Haiz…

R.I.P Barkly Boy… @ 31/7/2012

It was a sad day to my family as we found our big house dog had finally decided let go himself when sis Karen banged our bedroom door early in the morning…. Barkly boy was with us since he was a puppy where sis Karen bought him back from a pet shop around Petaling Street. Although Barkly wasn’t a pure breed and without certificate but we still love him very much. He was such a cute little puppy that braves enough to jump / felt himself down when we put him high on top of a basket that used to be his bed.

As time goes by, Barkly became smarter and smarter. He guarded our house responsibly whenever there is a stranger walks near to our house gate, welcome and make sure we were safely entered our house boundaries if so happens that he is off from his lash. Besides, Barkly boy remains positive even though he knew he was abandoned for a certain period when sis Karen moved out from our house and was not by his side. He was truly a positive and strong boy when he was first diagnosed with lymphoma cancer about 1 month ago. Pity him not only had to go through all sorts of scanning and diagnosis, he even had to blindly suffer from neuter surgery as advised by the vet that may ease his illness but not at the end. Aside, we sensed that he felt embarrassed as he gets weaker and weaker day by day where he no longer able to guard our house, no longer able to walk and eat… till we have to take care of him in reverse. We also felt that Barkly boy forced himself to stay alive despite that he was actually deeply suffer because he worried nobody else could guard us if he left due to both his brothers were toy dog species. We felt the sorrow and take turn to talk to him the night before we plan to euthanize him the next day. We told him that he has gave his very best and we are proud of him, told him not to worry about us as we will be fine, asking him to hint us / let go if he no longer able to stand the deep suffer. Barkly boy eventually waited each of us to got home and talked to him the night before he left… I can clearly remembered that I still able to observe him breathing in a very slow pace before I went to bed 3am+ in the morning just to make sure Barkly boy is still fine. However… :’(

We believed that Barkly boy doesn’t wish to see us in making the difficult euthanize decision and at the same time, doesn’t wish us to sadly see him leaving. Therefore, he had chosen to let go himself quietly in dawn. We made all the afterlife arrangement, cremated his body the next day and brought back his ashes with us at home few days later.

My heartfelt last word… You have never failed to perform your duty & bring laughter to our life… We are proud to have you for the past 11+ years. You will definitely be remembered…
Rest in peace, Barkly… With love~
