Sick, yet still thinking of KFC

Haven’t been blogging for couple of weeks. It was all the fault of my “enemies” that came and visit me. Since I was back from China (will be blogging about my China Exhibition Trip soon), I was surrounded by those enemies. First it was the fever, then running nose, then cough and sore throat. All come one by one. Until today, I am not fully recover yet. Weird thing is I don’t cough in the morning or afternoon, only at night. There is even one night that I couldn’t stop coughing and I go cough cough cough nonstop for like 45 minutes. Can’t even sleep properly that night. So cham ar… And to NOT disturb my family members, I have to cough into a pillow! Lagi Cham….

The doctor told me not to eat fried, spicy food and cold drinks. During that time when I was suffering my sore throat, I really tell myself I will never touch those fried stuff, curry and chillies anymore. The sore throat was so bad that I almost set a rule not to eat them (spicy food and fried stuff) anymore. But my sore throat was getting better now. Much better than the past few days. Today, I forgot about my “rule”, and ate one 麻辣香肠 (spicy hotdog). Not the normal spicy, is extra spicy lor. After finish eating only I remember my “rule”. I even ate 2 pieces of KFC chicken. Finish eating only I remember that I am NOT suppose to eat fried foods…. especially fried chicken!

Haih~ I always like this one lor… Sick that time, sure promise not to eat this eat that. When healthy that time, food in front of my face, I sure sapu all one……

Oh ya… talking about KFC chicken hor… do you guys agree that the chickens now are much MUCH MUCH smaller and skinnier than previously.

Everything naik harga, but KFC tends to maintain at their price (higher by few cents maybe) , but then the chicken they serve are so TINY lor….

Lastime whenever I eat KFC Chicken hor… I will eat 2 pieces chicken ( drumstick + thigh ) together with the coleslaw and potato wedges. After that, I will feel very full liow de. Coke also cannot seem to finish off. But now, 2 pieces of chicken plus coleslaw and wedges, my stomach still loose loose lor… Coke minum habis, sampai ice cubes also I eat ; still not *full* lor. The drumstick and thigh so thin and small, eat 2pcs also not enough lor~ ~ ~ Nowadays I tend to opt for the 3rd piece, and people are opening their eyes big big looking at a GIRL eating 3 pcs of KFC chicken. Hey… not I PURPOSELY want to eat so many pieces one you know, ask the KFC why the chicken 塑水 (shrink) la ~ !!!!

Hahaha~ got scare you all off or not ar. If you know me, you’ll just know how much my stomach can fit! But really lor…. “KFC management, feed the chickens until they get bigger before you cook them, can bor ??”

RECESSION

If you opened up a newspaper lately, every page tends to highlight the world recession. Ya.. The horror word…. RECESSION… It came to us year 1997 and now, it came to us again, after a decades’ time.

Almost everyone is talking about the global recession. What if it hits badly in Malaysia? Banks are tightening their belt; interest rates soar up high, metal prices being so unstable, and even the gold prices too. Currency are fluctuating madly and yesterday it was 2.1 RMB VS RM , the next day it went 1.89 RMB VS RM. (RMB = Renminbi).

Currently, in my working area, we still cannot see any weird or strange movements about the finance yet. But there is an extreme lack of orders from customers, even though the prices have gone down far lower compared to last few weeks.

Overtime has been cut off, and workers are only working until 5pm, which previously have overtime daily until 10pm. Expenses are still high, and yet customers’ debt aren’t coming in. Cheques are coming, but the dates are further and further. You might receive a cheque in the mail today, and yet, you can only keep that *paper* in your drawer and deposit it after the month of November.

Scariest of all… will be the customers not wanting to pay their debt and *run away*.
A lot of cases happenned when it was in year 1997.

You must be thinking, why I happened to know these since it was a decade ago’s story. I wasn’t even in work at that time.

Well… I could never forget it, in my whole life.

Seeing my father coming back from home, looking worried, talking on the phone finding for a different way out. Looking into my eyes, telling me to stop studying and start working for him in his factory. This was one of the many reasons I was not allowed to continue my studies. I left school at year 2000, which was the time when the days are just catching by, but still financially unstable. I end up taking a small post in the office….. until today.

Me and my two brothers studied in a private secondary school at that time. My father even thought of changing us to a government school so that his cash isn’t that tight. He end up 咬紧牙关 (clench one's teeth and not utter a sound) and we continued in a private school.

Not wanting to say much about recession here. It was not a topic of my favor neither is yours rite. All I wanted to say here is that hopefully Malaysia will get well then and let’s face it together. We need to overcome it together. It will go away… sure it will go away. But when it passes by, face it and be strong.

One last phrase that was told to me by a consultant,

“DURING RECESSION , CASH IS KING ! ”

Hi- Tea Session with Best Friends at Shangrila’s Hotel – Lemon Garden Hi-Tea

We have been planning for like years to have a hi-tea session together. Finally we got a chance to have our Hi-tea at Shangri-La Hotel – Lemon Garden Cafe. On Hari Raya first day.

After several discussion and fighting over which hotel is the best for us, finally everyone agreed to go Shangri-La – Lemon Garden Café.

Priced at RM78++ per person. We waited for around 10mins because we did not make any prior booking earlier. Took some photos randomly outside the café. And happily watching those kids (not ours) hoping either one of them fall into the artificial lake. Aiya.. not I black heart la.. is those kids run here run there- playing catching catching.. somemore so near the pool… who knows.. maybe we got movie to see leh~

Random photos outside the cafe while waiting.

Our Big Jie Jie~ I'm not sure she wants to be Jie Jie or Kor Kor?

Mai Siao Siao... we take photo with Jay Chow you know~ But Leng Hong say like Gary wor.....

Pregnant yet so radiant looking ~

When the waitress served us to the table, all of us started charging to the food corner (hungry already leh… we’ve been waiting from morning until 2pm). Some of us even perut kosong since morning leh….

Wide variety of food and food and foooods~
They have braised clams in broth, mushroom risotto with pesto, fresh oysters and mussels,. Chicken, vegetarian lasagna, Chinese dim sum, marinated baby octopus, tandoori chicken, cheesecakes, smoked salmon, scallop, maki sushi, satay, tiramisu, curry mee, dried scallops, yummy ice-creams, lo maikai, mutton, chocolate fountain, strawberries, blurberry tart, mango pudding, mini chocolate cake…. Etc. You name it.. they have it!

Yummy~

Delicious Desserts~~

But one thing they don’t serve lor… are drinks. I don’t know why. There is no corner for us to pick our own drinks. Like orange juice, coconut milk, watermelon juice, milk or coke. We are only given sky juice on the table. Plus the normal coffee and tea. I guess people just drink coffee or tea during *hi-tea* session gua…

After our hi-tea, we went to Pavillion hang kai kai. Shopping shopping jalan jalan. Everyone say nothing to buy at first. Then, Xinwee wanted to go Benefit to catch some cosmetics. Hang around at Benefit counter for a while, then the itchy LengHong this also buy, that also ngam her. End up she bought more than Xinwee!

Guess whom we met at Pavillion….. Lee Yoon and her family! Her little Shawn Shawn so cute la.....

我的齐遇 10-10-2008

参加完小齐歌友会活动回来了! 一头短发的小齐，配上一幅黑框眼镜,比实际年龄真的年轻太多了。

歌友会是在晚上8点15分在Pavilion Forecourt开始。因为塞车的关系，我有点迟到了。 还好赶得及在小齐出现前到。到counter show我的大马小齐家族会员卡，便进到媒体区。坐下来不到几分钟，一身白色的jacket,一幅很帅气的眼镜，牛仔裤的小齐，一脸笑容的出现在台上。原本空空的舞台前的场地,在司仪报告接下来要出来表演的人是小齐后,一下子就围了好多人。小齐一出场,马上受到很热烈的掌声欢迎。

小齐和歌迷握握手

小齐谈起大马的食物

这次小齐来马来西亚是为了宣传个人在云顶8-11-2008的演唱会。唱了一首“浪花 一朵朵”。刚开始唱的时候，突然来了几滴雨水。大家都在担心是否能如常举行。可我一点也不担心,因为我知道雨一定会停下来的。 因为小齐可是”阳光之子”,只要他一出来,雨一定会停。一点都没错,果然雨就下那么两三滴就没在下了。然后就办签名。凡是有购买演唱会的票，都可以排队签名握握手。另外，当天买票的朋友们，还可以获得20%的折扣呢。

赶紧找大马小齐家族负责任的玲玲，拿我之前已经跟她买的票。然后排队等待签名。一边走， 看到很多齐迷。 有一位还是好久不见的宜琪的朋友（我忘了她叫什么名字）。还有几位AUNTIE，都是齐迷。 我真没用，AUNTIE们的名字统统都忘了。他们竟然记得我的名字。隔上次的演唱会，都有好几年没见面了。我想是4-5年了吧。 当然啦， 我的名字不难嘛， 总是让人家好记得的！这样， 我就吃亏啦。每次都好像我忘记人家的名字似的。

签名结束了，小齐再次答应大家在演唱会上一定会有很多Surprise和新的元素。大马歌迷喜欢听小齐唱的金曲，他一一的为大家安排。
小齐就离开了会场， 坐上保姆车。

小齐签名还有呢~

Outdated Post – North Journey across Kuala Selangor – Teluk Intan – Anson – Bidor

Last Tuesday (before Raya), my boss took me to Anson (Perak) to look for some supplier. We stopped at Kuala Selangor for our lunch. After several round to check which restaurant has more people eating inside, probably this is a better one. River View Seafood Restaurant

View from the Restaurant

We had a quick lunch there. It was a windy afternoon. Imagine while I am eating, the soup on my spoon also can be blown away. At first I did not notice. I was feeling weird, how come every time I scoop a spoon of fish soup, the soup somehow disappear half of it. Then only I realize the soup just *flew away* !! Cannot even have a good lunch because of the strong wind. My hair crazily covering my face.

We started from Klang- Kapar- Kuala Selangor Sekinchan- Sungai Besar - Sabak Bernam then Simpang Empat, and finally Teluk Anson.

We crossed by Teluk Intan and stop by at the leaning tower of Teluk Intan. Our very own Malaysian Leaning Tower. Actually, we wanted to take some photos there, but end up the Malay people there already conquer that area for the Raya selling place. Just a tiny town. Yet so traffice jam. We just sit inside the car and took some picture that’s all.

Malaysia's Leaning Tower

See the crowd there

See those *em seng muk*vehicle, blocking my view... Ish~

After finished our job with the supplier, it’s almost evening. We then head back to Klang.

Shopping at Times Square & Sg Wang

5 hours of walking non-stop. Shopping, line up pay money at counter, walking and shopping. 5 hours straight. We did not even break down for rest. We only take a tiny break when we tried shoes and wait for the right size of shoe to come. Oh ya, and when we are buying drinks at Mc. Donalds.

There are so many ghostly type of clothings at Times Square. How to describe ar… like… ghost la.. Scary, people wearing them normally dye their hair into grey or whitish, then have smoky black eyes and crazy socks and weird shoes. Hahaha… say I’m outdated or off trend, I just don’t like those clothings at all. Really macam hantu lor.

I heard these trends are called the Harajuku trend. They are like street performers and wildly-dressed teens wearing clothes originated from Japan.

Another type weird dress is called the Lolita clothing. They are those clothes that has lacy lace all the way from top to toe. They are normally paired with weird socks and same with Harajuku, smoky black dark eyes. Normally wear with bold boots, pale complexion, dark eyeliner and fishnet tights.

“ Lolita fashion is a style of dress originated in Japan, inspired by the clothings of Victorian women and children. It aims to imitate Victorian Porcelain dolls, goth style and horror movies, punk and anime character. ”

No wonder macam hantu la. Purposely those teens want to jadi hantu la….
Thanks God my sisters also don’t fancy THOSE ghost la~ Phew….

Bold Boots and ghostly dolled clothes.....
She thought she look *yeng* with Lolita. Looks like a Japanese maid la~

Look at the thick boots. Please walk carefully girl. Don't pok chan you know~

Hantu Boots

No offend to those whom are wearing these, but just in my point of view, they are just not human clothes. Well… everyone has a view of beautiful. These fashion are just a 'Big No' to me.

My sisters and I were all so tired, we actually wanted to walk to Pavillion, but everyone seems to have red foot liow… I also scare if continue walk like this, I cannot drive back to Klang.

Paid for our parking fees and head back to Klang.

~ 感谢九王爷让我遇见他 ~

原本想要化妆在出门的。可是全家人都已经准备好了。 只有剩下我。 不好意思。。因为我睡过头了。 就不管了。想到是去庙拜拜神而已， 不用化什么妆啦。

然后，上了车才知道， 他们要先去吃早餐才去庙拜拜的。 我们就去了 Teluk Pulai Bah Kut Teh 享用肉骨茶。 哇。。 好重的早餐哦！

吃饱饱了，就往 Teluk Pulai 的九王爷庙去。上香，拜拜， 然后我就负责折金纸。后来，头望一望，他竟然在我前面！ 他真的就站在我的前面 （中间隔着一个桌子）。 看到他的刹那，真不知道该如何是好。 就打一下招呼。 问他是否一个人来这。 他有回答， 可是我其实什么也没听到。。。 只听见我的心跳而已。

当时的我， 真的很感谢九王爷爷。 虽然我有点气馁因没有化到妆， 可是我还是很感谢。 虽然是一面之缘， 可是可以在九王爷爷那里相遇， 我总是觉得真的得来不易啊。 他还是和在校园里面一样 – 笑容还是那么灿烂。

回想起来 ： 如果我花了时间去化妆， 我就不会遇见他了。
如果我反对去吃肉骨茶的话， 我就不会遇见他了。 （通常我都不太 喜欢吃肉骨茶的）
如果我不是拜拜好了，然后帮忙折金纸， 我就不会遇见他了。
如果我跑去找丽莲 （她家在庙的隔壁）， 我就不会遇见他了。

真的不敢想啊。。。。 感恩， 感谢。

对了。。。 我还知道了他的华语名字。 很好听耶。 叫俊豪。 郑俊豪。 因为偷瞄了他写在金纸上。哈哈。。。 你肯定在想， 我为何会把名字都写出来啊。 这样岂不是会传给他知道吗？ 不会的。 看我的BLOG的朋友， 一般都不认识他是谁。 就算是认识他的， 我知道你们都会帮我保密对吧？你们肯定不会要我尴尬的。

那么美丽的早晨， 那么美丽的相遇， 我会一直记在心里的。希望俊豪你也是。

Little Wedding Dress

Aha… nope… definitely not what you are thinking… really… not me ya.. read on first.

Made a call to Weifen telling that I am going to her place and she told me not at home. She’s at TOUCH Wedding Studio. Guess whose big day this time. She is…. ( because she’s a 公众人物 therefore, cannot say much about her here , unless she tells you guys).

When I reached TOUCH, the girls have already rejected tons of gowns and get the right ones with them. The only problem now is… Choose 4 out of 7 gowns.
Poor thing the attendant girl. She’s like a maid…. collecting the gowns being rejected, zipping, holding the skirts. Just don’t know how she felt there. Hehe… and yet the others are happily telling her… “ Try this again… re try that again…. I forgot this gown looks thinner or that gown looks sexier , try again one more time…. ”. She almost Pengsan I guess… Hehehe….

She looks marvelous and beautiful in all the dresses. It’s true that people always say. A girl is the prettiest in her wedding gown plus her 幸福的笑容.

真心的祝福你， 愿你幸福快乐。
