This year X'mas I spent it working and watching paint dry (my uncle decided to re-paint the house on x'mas day) but I have no complaints coz I've sort of celebrated it earlier with my friends & colleagues.
It's really my favourite occasion of the year.
My mini tree @ work:
My X'mas presents =)
LDU Quito 0 - Manchester United 1
United set the seal on an historic year by becoming the first British side to win the Club World Cup to end 2008 as the best team on the planet.
Rooney won the gold cup for the best player of the tournament (comes with a Toyota), Ronaldo the silver cup.
Not a very good match as Vidic was sent off but a good goal =)
Spurs is one of my other favourite teams in the EPL but MU's gotta win.
I really do not like to see Liverpool up there...
C'mon lads !! I've bet RM50 with my boss who is the no 1. Spurs fan....
Win it ! WIN WIN WIN !
Me & Colleague was chatting animatedly about CSI latest season. I am still watching Season 8 with 3 more episodes to go and she decided to give me the spoiler by telling me that Warrick DIED !!!
OMG !! WHY ???!!
Why they killed off Warrick's character ? I love him....his smoldering eyes................and that BODY.....................
Look at that. Both are my favourite. Warrick & Nick.
First they killed off Sara's character. Now Warrick. What is happening to my LV CSI team? *sobs*
Anyway....we were quite into it....chatting about some episodes...the miniature doll killer....etc etc......
Me: Was it that stupid fat guy that killed him? That strip club owner...I knew it....
C: No, it was a tall thin guy.....hahahhaha......suspicious leh....
Me: Who is it ?! ( i demanded)
C: You watch it tonite and you will know......
For Selangor ONLY.
But KL folks are so jealous that they start calling us as early as 9am, apologising to disturb us on our holiday but they need the clarifications URGENTLY so my team are forced to work.
To think I had such a fun time laughing at all my frens working in KL last evening
Now it's karma.
I made the mistake of changing my status on MSN:
Almost immediately, the person I taunt the most last evening msg-ed me:
I wish to turn off my mobile but I need the PO.
*Sigh*
Nevermind, work lah......
*Switch to Positive thinking mode*
It's only a day. Imagine the thrill of my team if we get this early X'mas present next week.
I do not know if you want to be subjected to their singing but this is one of the better efforts...after a few warm ups and drinks =)
I'm almost afraid to sleep because of all the laughter I went thru today...they say if u laugh too much b4 sleeping, you will get nightmares.....
Perhaps it was because I'm in a more relaxed mode after the submission of my final tender for the 2008 year? (i pray it's the final tender that i hv to go thru - no more please !!)
But seriously, all the responses to my questions.....
I'm sorry I can't reveal what my questions were but the best response I got was:
"Is it the GAY" ??!
LOL..........
Missing matches weekly...
One goes to Indo every week..
One goes on a cycling tour every week...
And you call urself a FAN ??!
*tsk tsk tsk*
Did you know, the both of u msg me at exactly the same time on Sunday to ask me the score?
My favourite month of the year is back. How time flies.
I'm happy with the derby result last night but what did Ronaldo think he was doing?
Anyway I want to crawl into a hole to hibernate because its been a bz bz 2 weeks. More meetings and events to come this week and I do not have time to blog about it.
Overall it's been a hectic week, I missed a rainbow by seconds (my collegues told me there was a rainbow juz a few minutes before it dissapeared).
But i can't take it slow. Everything is urgent. Everyone wants that quote yesterday. Suppliers are all in holiday mood and takes ages to reply to our request while we get chased by customers. My phone has been ringing non-stop since last Monday. My battery can't even last a day.
*Stressed*
2moro's gonna be a long day for me. 4 appointments. I should blog what's on my mind right now b4 the work stress starts kicking in.
I am currently taking a few hours break from my movie marathon. Went to pick up Season 4 from Jennwah earlier (all the way to Puchong - i know...i'm so addicted). The story's getting interesting. I couldn't stop laughing when Orson came up with the magic bbq fork joke and told Bree "Let's go freak Mrs Mcluskey next". FYI, Bree is pretending to be pregnant and accidently got "stabbed" with a BBQ fork and guests were all freaking out. That's why Orson had to come up with the magic fork thingy.
Anyway, what I wanna write about is about rainbows. Are there anyone out there who doesn't like rainbows? C'mon ! It's so beautiful & sort of magical. I was driving last evening and was thinking, when was the last time I saw a rainbow? I think it's a few years back. I remember when I was a little kid and I saw this rainbow so I tried to run to the end of it hoping to see that white unicorn. Well, I watched a cartoon that shows a white unicorn at the end of a rainbow! Of course I couldn't get to the end of the rainbow because halfway running towards it, I met with a stray dog who chased me back all the way to the house. Stupid doggie! Spoilt my unicorn quest!
I dun't know why but I would like to see a rainbow now. I mean of course not now, it's like 8pm and it will be really eerie if I can see a rainbow at the dark sky. I would like to see a rainbow soon so that I can drive to the end of it and get my hands on that pot of gold =)
Nah, actually i wanna see a rainbow so that I know I still can take it slow and not let life's stress get to me. Sometimes I really need to stop, relax and look out at the sky once in a while. There's so many people dying from stress nowadays. We need to stop this. It's getting out of hand.
But frankly, that pot of gold will be handy. LOL
Susan Myer is my favourite.
She is so funny and entertaining. I especially like the part when she set her future mom-in-law on fire and when she was in the middle of the forest and tries to put on lavender and honey face mask so that she can look good for Myke and her guide was warning her that she was in the middle of the forest and she is putting on bear food on her face.
The bear food part reminded me of a conversation I had on MSN..... *keke*
God, I've never had such a good laugh at a series b4.
Onto season 4... *thx jennwah* =)
Everyone loves Fridays. I'm half half.
I love Fridays coz it means the weekend and I get to stay up late and do whatever I want.
But I also hate Fridays. You know why? Because in my company, every Friday there's a Sales Review meeting from 08.30 to lunchtime. They prepare breakfast for you in preparation for the tough drill-down of your funnels.
So you see, I have mixed feelings about Fridays. Yes, it means happy hours after work and the joy of not waking up early for the next two days but it also means a tough 4 hours in a small room with difficult questions thrown to you.
Why this ? Why that? Did you..? What happened to....? Arrghh !
We can't purposely make an appointment in the morning either, because they will only delay the meeting to 5 or 6pm which is even worse because then we will miss our happy hour time.
And let's face it, how many sick leave can we take every Friday? It just looks bad & so fake.
So instead of feeling bad about the review and complaining about what a drag it is, let's be positive and think of it as......umm... (I can't think of anything good about it).
Oh whatever, I dun't care. Like it or not, I have to face it. I'm going to immersed myself with Desperate Housewives tonight and laugh all I want because I will not be able to laugh tommorow morning.
I first listened to this song when I was in college - brings back a lot of memories of watching RAGE at the wee hours of the morning.
Recently, Mix FM played this song again with a nice remix. I can't find it anywhere.
Anyone got that version ?
I really like some part of the lyrics esp. the cruel part LOL. I'm evil....
I've forgotten about this dream that I had on Wednesday until I was tidying my books and saw Harry Potter.
I dreamt of not one but 3 snakes and woke up screaming as usual. I've checked the dream dictionary. It says :
The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes
Hmm...I can identify 2 person around me now that is callous & ruthless and definately cannot be trusted. I wonder who's the 3rd one?
But hey, it means positive changes too! Good. Just what I need.
I do not have the time to blog. No, actually i should re-phrase. I do not have the mood to blog about the past week events.
So many things have happened since the week started. Bad stuffs.
First of all I was diagnosed with a cyst in my ovary. After 3 stressful days, my doc managed to convince me that its not life threatening and there's ways to cure it. I even went for a breast scan and I was so scared that after they did one breast, I told the doc I do not want to scan the other. LOL. Now I look back and think how silly I must have looked.
Becoming a little bit happier and calm, I went to work the next day and found out that a few of my projects are on hold because of the economic crisis overseas. Damn. There goes my quota....
Later in the evening, my heart was shattered.
At this point, I look at my life and keep asking.
WHY ME ?
WHY IS MY LIFE SO SAD?
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OBSTACLES ?
WHERE IS THE LIGHT?
After much self-questioning and tears and of course sessions with my dear friends, i realise there's no point to keep questioning. So wat if it's sad? Everyone's got their own sad point in life. Does this mean that we have to walk around everyday with a sour look?
We have to look at life from another angle.
Cyst? Everyone has cysts in their bodies.
Work? Find new customers. Strategise and work towards a better next year.
Love? I was sad. But now I'm angry. Soon, I will forget and look back and laugh at myself.
Tommorow will be the start of a better week. I'm convinced of it (esp. after MU's fantastic win last nite)
It's looking bright already =)
Brilliant. Fantastic. From Ronnie's first goal to the last...it was all brilliant.
I am so glad i shared this with my MU buddies. SPEECHLESS !!
Cristiano Ronaldo (3)
Michael Carrick (45)
Dimitar Berbatov (49)
Danny Welbeck (84)
Cristiano Ronaldo (89)
I noticed that Mr Temper likes to unleash his anger on me whenever he is stressed.
What to do. I am the "junior" and who better to be on the receiving end than me.
It spoilt my entire morning but after some retail therapy, my mood lifted and I am able to think clearly.
It is not worth let my mood be shaken by unworthy people.
Beautiful play by MU on the first half and beginning of second half.
I truly do not like Ronaldo but I still admire his skill.
I'm dissapointed Rooney didn't score but it's because they didn't pass the ball to him. It's very competitive in the team nowadays.
Berbatov's assist are damn good. I hope he will score more in the EPL =)
Tevez came on at the late stages of the 2nd half. I wish he could play more but then, 4 strikers in the team mess things up.
Well, let's leave it to Sir Alex. He knows best =)
I finally have wireless @ home.
It all started last weekend when I saw 2 black cats crossing the road. I know I'm superstitious but bad things always happen when I see black cats. The next day at about 4am I heard a funny sound.
"Tap-tap-tap".
Ignoring it, I tried to sleep back but the images of those cats kept fleeting through my mind. I immediately got up and saw that my Acer laptop is drowning in a pool of water leaked by my lousy air cond. Of course it is spoilt now although I tried to bluff myself that not much water went in.
Anyway, now i have to use my office laptop and after a few days of frustration trying to connect to Streamyx using different modems and configuration and talking with lousy technicians at the 1300 88 1515 number, I decided enough is enough. I'm going to get myself a new modem with wireless router and ask my engineers at work to configure it for me so that all I have to do is "PLUG and PLAY"
Voila! I now have wireless.
No horrible cables all around my room.
I can surf anywhere in my house.
Downstairs, upstairs, outside, kitchen, toilet etc etc.
YaY =)
At Redbox Karaoke - the Curve, my gf wants to use the toilet in the room. She push and push the door.
T: Eh, is someone inside? Cannot open lah.
M: (counting the no of ppl) Everyone is here!
(the guys were busy singing Bohemian Raphsody)
M & K got up to help T push. C even try to kick open the door.
T: Yerr... so scary! got ghost izzit?
Me: Really ar??! *shocked* (goosebumps on my arms)
K: Let's call the waiter.
The guys FINALLY realise the commotion, stop singing for 2 second and shouted:
"IT'S A SLIDING DOOR LAH!"
It was Saturday night again and my ex-college friends and me decided to find a nice place just to chill out. Somewhere that has nice food and not too noisy. We decided on Solaris since nobody wants to drive all the way to KL & we heard that Asian Heritage Row is full of Mat Rempits. It's not safe for 4 girls lah.
It was 8pm when we reach there and Sophia, who has researched all the restaurants beforehand decided for all of us to eat @ Saffron. It serves Mediterranean food.
This place is really quiet. Actually all the restaurants there are really quiet. Not too crowded. Perfect. That's what we like. We can catch up and laugh loudly and nobody will care. The food here is okay. Kiran and me ordered the chicken fajita, Sue ordered salmon and Sop ordered some prawn thingy. The portions were either small or we were too hungry that we decided to go Dessert Bar for our desserts. Something which i do not normally do as I dunt fancy desserts.
At dessert bar, Sue ordered the some fruity + ice cream basket thing, Sop ordered rum & raisin, Kiran ordered some berry thingy and i ordered pancakes + fruits+ ice cream while we all flick through Sop's photos from Hanoi & Philipines.
After dessert, we decided to visit one of the bars. All of them were not crowded with the exception of "Romance of Three Kingdom". Well, we couldn't see inside so it's difficult to see if it's really crowded but the music is loud and with a name like that, it like very ah beng lah. Probably full of girls with mini short skirts and guys with gold chains all over. We skipped that and further in front, saw a nice table with 4 comfy sofas. It's called Garage. We chatted about everything from our old college friends, who is doing what and our current office gossip. Now that we are managers (ahem) we have to deal with the pain of smart-alecks fresh graduates. They probably think we are a bitch just like when we first started work and thought how our managers were bitches. It's a cycle. No wonder nowadays we are more prone to flu with all the curses aimed at us. LOL !
The Roo boy's on form again =)
Before the match I sms my friend asking for the odds. He told me MU is giving 2 balls.
Umm, okay let's wait till HT, probably the odds will go down.
At HT with the score at 0 - 0, I again sms my friend. He told me now MU is giving 1.5 balls.
WHAT ??! How to bet la with that kind of odds.
I didn't expect what happen next.
Within minutes, the roo boy scored and what a fantastic goal it was.
10 minutes later, Ronaldo scored. He doesn't look too happy after scoring, maybe he was thinking he should score first and Rooney stole his glory? Or perhaps he was just having some personal issues but he does not look happy.
Berbatov's goal was a classic Nistelrooy goal. He was standing there at the right place at the right time. I do wish he would run more instead of strolling around the field.
By the time Nani scored, I was already feeling for my loss of $$$ but oh wells, it's fated. If it's yours, it's yours.
Perhaps if I have put on a bet, the score would remain 0 - 0 ?
A truly good 2nd half display.
It's coming closer.
First the person behind me got it.
Now it has spread to his neighbour and the person sitting beside & in front of me.
I am surrounded !!
And I just found out that my Vit C supplies has finished! NOOOOO ! I dowan the flu !!
I must remember to buy Redoxon tommorow.
From today onwards, I have to park outside of the Menara and walk abit coz a new Senior Manager joined and I have to give up the basement parking for her. At first I was pissed off as:
no 1: It's quite far to walk
no 2: If the car park is full, you have to park at the shopping mall which is further to walk
no 3: If it rains, I will have to get wet and probably reach my client's place with a wet look
no 4: It's not possible to work late anymore as it is quite dangerous to walk to the outside parking after 7pm
no 5: It's very inconvenient because I go in and out of office all the time and the fee per entry is rm2.
Now that my anger has died down and I am calmer, let's look at the positive side:
no 1: No need to pay RM90 monthly, can save about RM50 to buy new shoes
no 2: Walking that extra distance is still better than working in other areas of PJ, at least I do not have to go through the federal highway jam every morning & evening
no 3: The extra exercise will help me to burn some fats
no 4: If there's no parking, I can park opposite the housing area and save another RM2
no 5: Got excuse not to work late =)
Life goes on.
I saw this relli cute spitz wen i was out jogging earlier. It gave me the inspiration to jog a few more rounds juz to see her. She would hv been the perfect gf for my dog =)
She looks something like this :
Real fluffy. When she saw me looking at her, she look at me too. Then wen I jog away, she came out further to look at me. On my third round, the owner took her out and I get to pet her =)
So cute lah. Like a little bear.
Here's how a baby spitz look like.
Nice to see the Brown & Rooney on the scoresheet. Looks like United's on form again but now there's the international break.
But it's okay, they're climbing up.
I'm tired of dealing with liars & hypocrites.
Actually, come to think of it, I'm tired of dealing with people generally.
You never know.
I did it ! Went for combat and pump classes today ! Yeah yeah, for those who frequent the gym may say this is nothing but for those who know me well, this is an achievement rite ??? I am those who would rather drive when the distance is only a "5 minutes walk" and whose hobby is sleeping.
I am so proud of myself =)
Tone arms ! Tone arms ! LOL
Someone is trying to give me HELL.
The Car Incident
The Gym Incident
Friends
Sometimes I am relli so full of it. I planned to go for body combat and body pump classes today. Like so motivated. After half an hour of combat, I am nearly dying. My sides start to ache and feel like going to faint d.

I know I said I wont go to the dentist but u see, I woke up last nite at 3am to the thunderstorm and felt like a lump on my gums. Seeing that I am awake, I got up and googled what this thing is about and the image results made me wish I didn't do that.
This morning, I quickly went see the dentist.
You know why I am scared of dentist? They put u in the middle of the room on that “chair” with all the long and sharp equipments beside there. For gods sake. They should put some fresh flowers or pictures to distract people's attention lah! Maybe a TV. Nooo, all u get to stare at is the light and the empty ceiling on top of u. So intimidating!
She checked my teeth (normal procedure) and told me I have 2 small holes at the side of my big teeth. Yeah whatever. So what’s the gum swelling or lump's about ? She explained a lot of things. Said that my teeth have lots of dirt and bacteria residing there which will causes the gums swelling and if I dunt cure it, my teeth will all fall out. Great !
So what do I have to do ? Her advice is to do a "scaling" where she will polish and clean them.
Me: Do what ? Scaling? What's that?
Doc: We use this thing (she show me a long thing) and clean out all
When she was talking about draining the pus out, I immediately thought of Seamus Finnigan during the Herbology class, where they have to drained out the bobutuber pus. Its kinda funny.
Me: So if i clean the teeth, the bacteria will not have a place to reside in and die ?
Doc: Yes. You will then have healthy teeths. If you dunt cure it, it may result in this (showing me a picture which says gingivitis & pointing to a teeth).
Me: Is it painful ?
Doc: Not at all. (all docs say that - Liars!)
Me: How much is it?
Doc: RM80
Me: How long does it take ? (I look at my watch to pretend that I am on a tight schedule – actually I am still thinking whether I shld do it. Scared lah woi)
Doc: 20 mins.
Me: OK, please just do it NOW before I change my mind.
The procedure was quite okay. No pain (except the part where I had the swells) and now I have clean teeth (tartar free and stain free).
I’m quite happy. Plus, my gums is slowly becoming normal. The swell has gone down =)
I have to go back to do the "filling" for my 2 small holes. Maybe in 6 months time.
My gums are swollen and its hurting like %$#@ ! Cannot eat and drink properly also ! %$#@ !
But I am still gonna live happily =P
And I'm not going to the dentist........ !
Got this in my mailbox this morning and I'd like to share with you in view of the 2 incidents that has happened this week:
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words.
He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?' 
The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
I juz found out that one of my uni fren passed away.
What in the world is happening ?
I think I'll go in2 a shock mood soon.
LIVERPOOL v MANCHESTER UNITED
SATURDAY, 1945 MALAYSIAN TIME
Rafa Benitez has stunned England fans by admitting Steven Gerrard could face Manchester United on Saturday. The Liverpool boss caused a storm when he sent the Liverpool skipper for a minor groin operation before England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Croatia. He claimed the op was vital and would also keep Gerrard out of the clash with their biggest rivals. Now Benitez has sparked a bitter club v country row by admitting Gerrard could line up at Anfield. He said: “Gerrard is still progressing, so you never know. The key is the fitness of the player — it makes a massive difference if he has confidence.” Hitman Fernando Torres could also play after suffering a hamstring injury 10 days ago. Benitez added: “It is better to avoid saying whether Gerrard and Fernando Torres can be available. It’s difficult to say.”
Phil Thomas, The Sun
This morning, I was happily chatting with my colleague about next week's public holiday in Selangor and how we must be careful not to make any appointments with our KL clients when another colleague shouted "HELP" behind us.
At first we thought she dropped something but when people start running over, we realise that something strange is going on. Another colleague had a seizure. Someone gave her something to bite on and nobody knew what to do as this is the first time something like this happened in the company. Thank god for our HR, who have some knowledge on how to deal with this situation. She was sent to the hospital. Actually she became conscious after about 5 - 10 mins but was still required to go in case something serious happens later. When she came back, we asked her about it and it seems she has no history of epilepsy and this is the first time it's happening. Apparently she had a head injury last week and doctors said that this might be one of the causes plus high stress. Something to do with the nerves or chemicals in the brain. From now onwards, she has to take medication because when u get it once, u will get it again.
It's just so frightening. A normal healthy person can collapse just like that. Reminds me of my friend's father who passed away earlier this year. Juz out of a sudden he felt something wrong with his body and when he reach the hospital, he is pronouce brain-dead.
Nobody can explain the causes of this kind of thing. Some say stress. Even if you are not a smoker or drinker, it doesn't mean you won't get these kind of strange sickness. It's just fated I guess.
So everyone please try to live your life stress-free (abit difficult I know) & do whatever you want NOW because you will never know.
Today I feel so motivated to go to the gym after work since I haven't been there for a very long time.
I decided to go slow and join the yoga class at 1840. I had to bring my lappie home tonight because I am on standby for a customer who may need some info. The stupid brick is so heavy and I have some thoughts to leave it in the car and let it get stolen =p
But of course, I am not those type of person, so I dragged it to the gym locker. They have some special CCTV lockers for you to keep ur lappie but nevermind lah, mine is not a MAC. Nobody will wanna steal a brick like that. I juz stuffed it together with my clothes at the women's locker room.
After changing, I have some time to kill and I saw these 2 girls doing some cardio thingy on a machine. It is an equipment where you sit there and just row ur arms in circles. It looks easy so I tried it. After what seems like an eternity, I look at the monitor and it told me that I have only been working out for 1.5 minute ?! What ?! My arms are beginning to tire and I dun't feel comfortable with some muscular guy stretching next to me so I stop after 3 mins.
Still with time to spare, I saw this girl exercising so enthusiatically on this "stepper" thingy. I think I can do that. It looks easy too ! After 1 minute.....
OH MY GOD I WANNA DIE....!!
My legs are sooo tired!
Why is the girl beside me running? I'm only like...walking. How does she do it? Where does she get the energy from? I think she doesn't work. She must be one of those rich people who doesn't have to wake up at 7am to work. That must be it. Or else she must be a robot in disguise. Nobody can run like that for so long, after a long day at work.
After the 2nd minute, sod it ! Wtf. It is so difficult okay. I just wanna walk but the speed seems to increase with every step or move or whatever. I am just not made for this thing.
Anyway, it's time for the yoga class ! YaY ! Finally something that I can do.
It's good to stretch all the muscles in my body particulary my thighs and arms. However after half hour, the teacher decided that it's time for us to do the head stand. I can't do the head stand ! no no ! So i stand there and watch. Well, maybe one day I will be able to. Not today.
Overall, I spent like 35 minutes working out and I feel hungry already. I decided to quit the sauna and go home. To go to my car, I have to walk past all these fast food restaurants. The aroma of KFC was so enticing! I manage to resist the temptation. There's food at home and I am still on this "saving" thingy after all.
At the carpark, a girl told me that the autopay is not working. Damn it. I drove another 2 floors up and parked my car to go down to pay. Dunno why, I suddenly fear for the brick getting stolen. Yeah I dun't like that thing but it doesn't belong to me. I kept a watch on my car while slotting my 1 ringgit in.
Well there you go. My day at the gym is so interesting right ? I think I'll go again on Wednesday =)
Btw, i drop the brick when i was carrying it out of the car. My arms were tired lah!
I hope it still works though...... if it doesn't, I'll juz pretend it crashed tommorow morning. Maybe I will get a T-series this time..... *keke*
A bit late for this post but welcome to Dimitar Berbatov, our new no 9 =)
Let's see what he can do at Anfield next week.
Went for the IBM Lotus Top Gun training at Novotel last month. It was a one-week-product-training thingy and we were made to work from 8.30am to 6pm daily. The photo below was taken during one of the early days of the week. Still happy and looking forward to spending a week out of the boring office routine.
After the 2nd day, all pretense were abandoned. We spent some classes of the classes doing this:
This is our saviour. Without this, we would never have survive the 8 hours:
But overall, it was a good experience. We all got our certificates and gifts and everyone went back happy & are more knowledgeable about the yellow symbol.
Since I have already lost RM150.00 this morning, what is RM40 more right ?
The shoes were on sale ! 50% discount ! It's so worth it, I just must buy it.
I promise this will be my last pair of shoes =)
Reminder: I should never set any appointments at Sunway Pyramid anymore.
