Happy 31st Birthday...

Happy 31st Birthday to me..

What do I want for this birthday? Well, may my work continue to flourish (chi-sin), more pay less work.. My prince in broken-rusty armour finally found me in the tower... Sorry, I hair had been cut short again... Am not able to help you up..

I just want to be H.A.P.P.Y!

What a wish... I start to believe, as you grow older.. achem.. and wiser (perhaps), we would like to have things to be simple in life.

May this be a good start for many more to come...

Thanks to my fatty-panda for being the 1st one to wish me this year.. Muaks...

It sucks!!!

Everything so sucks today.. Everything seems to pissed me off today.. Snoring Pig is back to home time to become his sister's chauffeur to the bus station.

Even my hair pissed me off. Snoring Pig is the one who pissed me off the most.

Why?

He was the one who asked ppl out for drinks last night after the wedding dinner he's attending. Wtf, it takes 30 mins for him to reach my house and he's drunk.. Damn it! He even throw up 2 times before we went in to meet up with SW & Alex. Damn fucked up..

And...

I had said that I will not attend any of his family dinner/ function until he volunteer to mine. I am sick of him. You want to withdrawn from mine - I will not turn in to yours. I'll make it happen...

Letter to a 16 years old - YenYee

Dear 16 Years Old YenYee,

After reading the posting to "TimothyTiah" and "FourFeetNine", I had decided to write this letter... opss.. it's a post to a 16 year old me.

Being not a very brilliant self, you still will managed yr secondary school kidda well with lil' taste of skipping class, self-declared early break from school, boycott Teacher's Day celebration, and absent from school for 1 whole month. These will be accomplished within the same year when you are in 5 Lily @ 2007.

Being sandwiched between 2 groups of friends, you managed to really enjoying yr school life - with WaiYin, ChoyPeng, HungYoon, YenLin, SeowWei, and SeewHuey. On the other side of the class - WaiKuan, SiewWan, SauLai, KooiBee, MelissaLok, PakYee and PuiLing. Yr most favourite subject in class will be Physical Education because the teacher will allow you to play any games that you like - and the choice will always be NetBall. The match will always be MCA vs UNMO. MCA always win and regardless winning or losing - all of you will have a good time and these Malay girls learn the most important Cantonese word at the game : "LeeBin" means over here, "BeiNgo" means give to me. This helps their future match with you girls.

SPM exams for that year - you will only start to prepare yourself when you will to take yr trail exams. And yr results? Your score will be far far from yr own belief in yr SPM. Yr aggregate is 12.. Not in yr wildest dream you can get this score - well, it could be the overall scores for all SPM students within the nation not that good on that particular year.

You will have ZERO love life in yr school life no doubt how badly you dream you will have. It's because you are too UGLY, and too LOUD. Anyway, you are still the same 10 years, or 20 years after that - UGLY & LOUD. I believe this 2 quality never fades over the years..

What do you want to do after Form 5? Year 2007 will be the year whereby George Soros will do some famous deed causing a downturn of economy in Malaysia. You really wish you will work in the the hospitality industry - hotel management or tourism. But with the economy situation back then, doing a business program will be much safer - you will not starve to death....

Later on, you will enrolled to Form 6 in which later you will be accepted into a Polytechnic. Yr 3 years life in polytechnic had been reported in an post last year..
After graduating with yr Diploma from Polytechnic - you will be finally launched into the Slave Market by end of 2001.

After polytechnic - have your mindset changed on what I want to do? :-)
Well, it's seems that it will be a trend for the big companies to hire "Management Trainees" and you will be again very interested to be one. But somehow you will still remains in Ipoh. In yr mind, you will plan to set off to Singapore, KL or maybe Penang.. What went wrong, or where went wrong? You wan to be in the advertising world or maybe FMGC... These companies are exciting... well.. somewhere, some when, somehow - something went wrong....

First job after graduation - you will go back to the company where you had undergone yr industrial training, but it will more than a mth. You will go to this company with a fancy name - New Horizons where you will bear the title of Account Executive.. Wow! Fancy Title but you will need to make 60 cold calls to potential customers in a day. Yellow Pages will be yr best workmate. You will repeat he same thing on the phone with different person over and over again - 60 times a day. Salute to all those True TeleMarketer.. I will not able to cope it will only last for merely 3 months.

You will moved to a Chinese owned manufacturing company doing all these plastic packaging materials and you will stay there for almost 3 years, under Production Admin. This will be the place where you will your chance to gang-up with yr colleagues and we have our company trips, long lunch breaks, and our little outings on every Saturday after we are off from work.

Finally, on Jun 2004 - you will make another move to this company where you are still working in right now....

Your taste of men will changed from when you are 16 yrs old and 10 years after :
When you are 16, you wish that he will be like Richard Gere in Pretty Woman - rich, handsome, charming, ROMANTIC, sexy eyes and the list never ends.

You will have yr 1st bf when you are 20 while still in polytechnic : a mr smart, confidence & both of you are the same kind of person. But both of you will only be together for 9 months - both of you will broke off on the 2nd day of CNY on 2000. Both of you will still be in touch even 10 yrs after that..

You will have yr 2nd bf when you are 23 : a colleague of yours. He will try his best to accommodate your needs but in return you do not treasure cos you do not want a guy that yes to you all the time. Both of you broke up on the 14th day of CNY on 2005. You do not really in touch with him because in your heart, you are guilty!

You will have yr 3rd bf when you are 26 : and ex-colleague & a Mr Snoring Pig who do not have a single romantic bone in his body! Argh!!! And you are still with him now... from 18 Mar 2006 until today...

AL, SW & KB will named you as CNY Killer : Because you always broke up on CNY, and they will always tease Mr Snoring Pig whenever CNY approaches - Beware of Yr GF. Lucky enough, he is not from Ipoh, & he will be definately away from you on CNY!

These will be the changes you will endure from today (you are 16), until you are 26....

Yours truly,
YY @ 30 yrs old.. muahahahahahah....

End of Journey

This guy who is a pain-in-you-know-where had finally made his decision to leave us for good and we are counting his numbered days. His famous excuse/ phase that never fail to make my blood boils :

• 
  
  I would say ......


• 
  
  I am confused ....


• 
  
  I do not know what to do ...


• 
  
  I overlooked...

I really relieve that he had finally decide to end our suffering, and bring his ego & competence to somewhere else.

I am not sorry that you have the thinking that we had forced & pushed you to the max stress level but you had did that to us.

May you find happiness, bliss, satisfaction & hope in yr new challenge out there. Grass is always greener across the field, & may you finally have the chance to "bang yr head on the wall"

AMEN!

Megaphone of the office

This woman whom I know for the past decade had turned into one big megaphone in her office. Every single thing that I had updated on my FB status had been channel back to all the ppl who knows me in the office. I can tolerate her being a megaphone unless she delivers in her work. Instead, what we can observe she is just another "forwarder" who forward one request made by one person to the other person without going thru the gifted "CPU" from GOD. And the paperwork she does - is a real mess. I never used to dislike her all these years until recently that several of us who had been dealing with her found the quality of her work sucks. What she did best also being a "forwarder" - apart of the regular work tasks, she also forward gossips from her office to the rest of the souls who knows who-and-who in her office. I no longer wonder why she claims her boss never like her. Best forwarded gossip ever : 1) The husband of this colleague had not been intimate with the wife for past few mths, and 2) This guy is still living with the wife, & his mistress is a former club hostess. OMG : She is real fuckingly free!

Sleeping with me

No disappoitnment this time. This place do live up as per the online comment. Good condition, & at reasonably low price compared to those located at the main roads at Patong.

Free internet, and the long table/ chair is where we lie down - reading our books and magazine. Yes, it's not decent to do so in such open area. This is how the reception looks like. Simple.

This will be the room that we had. 2 single beds, & SW's got a double bed.

He snores....

Back then, I always tease my ex-boss cause he snores very loudly. He even can snore while he took naps in the office. Often he will wake up hearing the giggles of my other colleague, and I. Luckily, we sat in a small room that consists only few production staffs.

When we went for short trip to Lumut - we had connecting rooms and there were around 10 of us haring the 2 rooms. We had connecting door opened even when we sleep. He snored like a wild boar, and we can't control our laughs. We even asked him, how his wife managed to put up with his loud snore. What he commented was - she can't sleep without hearing his snoring "orchestra". Well, what I can thought of - I Pity Her!

I had shared rooms with several guys throughout the years on our trips to save cost and I do understand that some guys do snore, but some don't. Some are, occasionally when they are very tired, but the noise level is still within tolerance. What I am hitting on is the noise level of my bBF - when he snores terrifies me. He is REAL LOUD!! I shared with him on the snoring of my ex-boss (and his ex-boss as well), and I told him that this is called Karma. I laughed at him & pitied his wife - and now I have my share too! Arghhh.... The last trip to Phuket really driving me up the wall. Night 1 - OK lah cos I am very tired from the travelling day before. Night 2 - OK, I Tahan.. Night 3 - I was going nuts cause I cannot even sleep. Even when we are not sleeping on the same bed..GOD! I tried to play music loudly from my cell-phone, it now but not later. I have to keep the phone next to my pillow, and pull the sheet over my head. And I still cannot sleep properly. Those few hours were real torturing. I agree that one's snoring grows as they aged. Back to 6 or 5 yrs ago, my friend's husband does not snores like he does now. :-) And the bad news is, I should expect this happen to my BF! Pity Me! Courtesy of Wikipedia, the cause of snoring could be from below :

• Throat weakness, causing the throat to close during sleep


• Mispositioned jaw, often cause by tension in the muscles


• Fat gathering in and around the throat


• Obstruction in the nasal passageway


• The tissue at the top of airways touching each other causing vibrations


• Relaxants such as alcohol or drugs relaxing throat muscles


• Sleeping on one's back, which may result in the tongue dropping to the back of the mouth


• Due to enlarges tonsils

The most possible reason why his snores are getting bad could the those cause I had updated in "blue" The laziest & cheapest treatment could either that I think I will get him to consider :

• Lose weight (always in W.I.P)


• Stop smoking


• Sleep on their side (like me)


• Sleep in another room/ outside (He told me he will do)


• Get a new bF (My proposal) :-)

Potong Lalang..

Was desperate for a haircut yesterday cos I really think that my hair looks like lalang these days. Finally had a cut today, & so far, is the shortest that I got...

heheheheh..

The stylist - recommended by Elaine, & her name is Evon.

And the results, satisfactory and cost me MYR 70.00

Reading : Only 13

I came across this book while browsing the bookshop in JungCeylon, Phuket. I was always wondering about sex-workers in Thailand, and this book opened my eyes on this industry. The book was not cheap though - maybe for my standard : THB 594.00 (MYR 60.23)

The story is about Boontah who later change her name to Lon, when she enterred the industry. What also caught my attention is this lady is the same age as me, therefore I can do a little bit comparison of the reported life vs mine whereby our country is just next to each other. But of course, she hails from NorthEast of Thailand.

Life since a little girl was extremely hard, and with lots of beatings. For us, going to school is nothing but to those featured in the book is such a privilege. Running away from home when she was barely a teenager, entering into psychiatric wards, and venturing into the flesh market at 13 is something we can barely image.

I had heard of real life stories of someone I seen before - she is such a beautiful girl, and the family was well to do. Of course, his dad was dealing with some illegal business, & playing with other ppl's wife. She chose to sell flesh rather than to work. And guess who is the pimp - her husband. Why would someone so young, medium educated & beautiful woman chose this road? Sigh!!

Back to the book, it's worth reading but I was wondering how is Lon right now. Did she managed to find the power to heal herself, & where is she right now? England, or back to Thailand....

Sleep With Me!

"Sleep With Me".... ^_^

The name of this service apartment is so catchy that we have it's name well remember from the very first time. ^__^ and this is not an invitation to overnight with someone, but a service apartment located in Patong, Phuket...

We had booked 3 nights at this place, & hopefully in reality it's condition is as per the available pictures online.

The joke I had with my colleagues about this place is.... Imagine we had a night out in Patong, and if we decide to take a tuk-tuk back to the service apartment - should I tell the Mr Driver - "Sleep With Me" without having his to think wrongly? Agrhhh... If a girl will to ask will still be fine.. Imagine my friend's hubby will to ask Mr Driver - Sleep With Me!!!

I can't wait to take a tuk-tuk in Phuket... Kap-Kun-Ka!!!

why blogging??

What makes me start to blog? Believe it or not, it's from my younger sister who is currently i Form 2. Well, this means that she started her own blog when she was back on Primary 6.. OMG..

Other than that, I did follow 2 blogs that I think they are very impressive :
- Siew Says, and
- As Zewt As It Gets

The owner of "Siew Says" is from my school, & she's from my elder sister's batch and since school days, I think she is a very talented girl.. Until today, she still is..

As for "As Zewt As It Gets" - it was linked from "Siew Says" and I think this guy is also a very talented guy/ professional. His writing actually had open up my small mind..

It had been listed as one of my resolution to update my blog more frequent therefore when I actually look back later on, I will be able to recall how I feel that very moment.. Other than storing it in my mind, it would be better for me to write it down.. You will be amaze later.. And perhaps I can write down certain feelings that I am not able to voice out, so I let go this feeling by writing it down.. Yeah, even by BF do not believe that I have a blog, and have a faint idea what I wrote here..

Well, sorry dear.. I know you too well that even you know where is my blog, you will be too lazy following up... Yes, Wong Een Siong.. Just admit it dammit.. lol.. My elder sister found out my blog when she was on confinement and she used my laptop to surf the net. Who else? ("o")..

Would you think that following one's blog is like "stalking" one's life? Oppss... I hope those blogs that I am following don't feel like I am doing so..

What is the reason why I follow ppl's blog? I reason I gave to myself is :

• These ppl are sharing their feelings, & their experiences.. You would not need to go through and you be able to learn from them.
• To envy those ppl with a good life in which they blog about?? Lol, no no no.. I am happy to read you happy thoughts, & thanks for sharing out the moments of your life.
• I think that I am a shallow person, & to avoid continue to be one - I must try to learn & see how ppl think, and perhaps I can learn from there? =)
• Someone out there can give me more reasons.. I had run out of mine...

After all the above, I still think I can still continue to blog... until the day come when I really gave up.. Til then, Happy Blogging....

The Wedding.. 19 Feb 2011

What makes today so special that I decided to have it updated in my blog?
Today is the wedding day for a friend that I had known for 25 yrs and today is the auspicious day she get married...

I had blogged about her situation last year or the year before... about her going to "marry" this man that she had been with for the past 5 or 6 years... The wedding was postponed until further notice as she lossed her baby... And this was back on track again.... as she is finally pregnant again....

All I can sincerely wish that everythings will turn as what she wish... And hopefully this "man" fulfilled his words and promises he made on my dear friend... And she will have a smooth pregnancy this time...

Welcome 2011

The welcoming of the new year this time was done quietly at my friend's place. With honey chicken drumsticks, 2 bottle of wine & argh... classic chinese horror movie - Mr Vampire.

What shall be my new year resolution this year? For once, I tried to write it down & I decided to do it here...

1. I would like to take care of myself better this year - to live a healthier lifestyle this year by exercising min once a week, & lose some weight.
2. Allocate 20% savings each month for future house renovation.
3. Work smart, & to prove that I am a reliable person.
4. To have a better control of my emotion at work.
5. Doing housekeeping once in 2 weeks, & at his house... tiny little bit which will be once a month - it's free, so it's already considered a sacrifice..
6. To reduce my addiction of facebook.
7. Maintain the consistency of updating my blog, at least once a week maybe? ^__^

With the above, these will keep me pre-occupied for quite sometime.. As time goes by, hopefully I can add in more progressively.

Happy New Year!!!
