Espresso

while working at starbucks, we have a gang of uncles as regular. the first feeling when gotta to serve them is treat them as fussy customer and not close. slowly i noe they are regular. then, closer n close. till now, their job is still a mystery. they will only order double tall three quarter full hot water american. sometimes add extra shot. one day, out of curiosity i asked:

me: it's so late and u're drinking so strong coffee.. are you still able to sleep at night later on..?

uncle americano: hahahaahha... drink coffee can sleep better. the stronger it is, the more safe n sound i can dooze off.

me: wahhh.. you are so awesome.

uncle americano: drink coffee still can sleep. only when no money cannot sleep at night.

After the chat, i realise true true... i agree. Now, i am facing the situation no money cnt sleep at night. After few months break, is time to pick up the burden again. with 2 yrs of experience, i felt slightly comforted. this time is slightly different. i ain't the same myself anymore. i am expecting more, willing to sacrifice, and put endless effort to achieve what i want. in my dictionary, i am possible. nothing such as give up. there is some difficulty in finding weekend event promoter job. 2nd brother asked me to do some book keeping for him. i don't have any knowledge in that. i know i can do it very well if i learn the correct method. but there is no one to guide me and i don't get the real picture what i need to do. guess i am facing consequences of draining myself too hard n being too hard-working. hehe...

Different people facing different kind of difficulties. some people think their problem is like big big big but in other eyes, it's just as tiny as ant. all bcoz we have different background and mind. after all, i wanna show gratitude for each and everything i have.

i still remember in penang that week. i was totally being amused by daddy's uncle. he is seriously a wonderful human being. despite his financial condition, he still able to provide us with freaking awesome hospitality. thumbs up and salute! his house is smaller than mine. mine is already very very small compare to other, but his, got 2 rooms only. though not really enough space to fit daddy and me, he still manage it well. his family, his wife with 3kids one room and the other room is daddy and i. he works at 12am till nx morning 6am. in his house, you can find anythg you need. i feel like staying at home coz it's a flat. furthermore, his house is cleaned thrice a week by his wife. how lucky is that. i hope my mom can clean our house once a week. my house is terribly dusty and dirty. i just don't understand why my mom cannot sweep, wipe and mop and clean our house. haizzz... other than this, he is generous and sincere. when daddy need to do attachment at penang, he is the one that willing to borrow his only new car to daddy. daddy got 4 uncles and one auntie from Taiping. Among all with those crappy reason, only him. from here is learned that, when u r an elder, be a role model. all he did will not be going back to himself. the reward and gratitude will be shown to his children and others. his salary is so so but now 2kids has been working, so a little better. Besides working, he pick up aluminium tin and sell sting ray skin. Super eco-friendly and healthy attitude he acts. they recycle most of the things and reuse. not like current human. they just lead a simple life. and whenever, wherever we want to go, he will just drive us there. even 2hrs journey is not a problem for him. even if he don't get enough sleep, he still will go. this is the spirit of hospitality. last but not least, he will never ever let u pay for whatever u order. no chance and strictly no paying while dine in with him. i felt guilty for not able to buy him any meals and disturb him for a week. i promise whenever we go outing together again, or he come to Seremban, he got me! his act and sincerity touches me. he is someone you will be willing to give anything.
voila~ one of a kind...

Island of Pearl

Hehehee… long time din blog properly le. Now is time to organize a bit. Currently state is very boring. I keep drama-ing whole day. Sitting on the chair while my heart keep thinking wanna work n beriya-iya wanna earn $$$ make me feel uneasy. Perhaps I’m being too workaholic since I din get any holiday like this after diploma. Huh… really feel like wasting time tik tok tik tok when I can use it to trade with $$$. I always think that time trade with $$$. Just notice I am that hardworking. I think I’m being more n more materialistic than before. In dreams or sound better, money can’t buy everythg, in reality, money buys a lot of things and solves a lot problem. J

After some thinking and discussion with hubby boy, conclusion is I will b freelance weekend part timer for events. This way, I am able to manage better for time especially exam, hectic schedule, unexpected event and some time for rest. As for payment, it will be better than working as permanent weekend promoter. Of course I discuss my future with hubby boy, he is very important to me. Hehe.. Whatever it is, I’ve thought that, just do whatever makes myself and people around me happy. Life is short and limited edition, so, lead a fabulous happy life. Hehe..

Right after my last day at sbux, I went to Penang the next day. Travelled by bus for 6 hrs from 2pm till 8pm, I reached perhentian sg.juru. then hubby boy and his eldest uncle fetch me. We then fetch siew (uncle’s youngest daughter) and aunt from the child tuition centre. Very the hungry me ate at some food court nearby. Seriously, freaking seriously which ever stall u randomly order also very yummie. OMG… I fell in love straight away for their food. Really heavenly paradise. Here is some places that we went.

Saturday- went to pai pai with 5^th aunt (hubby’s mom youngest sis) in the morning. Then we head to straits quay. Had my first time paparich. Then walk around the quay, then went to fort Cornville’s, the kongsi kongsi houses, chocolate boutique, and ride ferry in a car. Nice feel! At night, sleep at hubby’s popo house. Hmn.. mamah’s house quite big and is actually hubby’s ex house. They sold it to their aunt and let their grandma stay.

Sunday- we went to all temples around penang. Hahahs.. first stop is breakfast. Again le meltz bcoz of food. Hubby+ me ordered 3 plates whenever we eat. Small portion proportional to their price. Hence, we ordered the 3^rd plate usually. We went to sleeping Buddha and Burmese temple which is just beside. Next, we stop at a temple. The temple is famous for carry a Buddha statue. Firstly, u wish what u want and ask for allow u to carry the Buddha. Second, u wish and ask that don’t let u able to carry the Buddha. Interesting right. My first wish, I failed for both try. My 2^nd wish, I succeed. ^^ anyway, is just for happy at the same time coution on what u wishing for. After that is milky Buddha. This Buddha is said to be kids/baby and usually people bring milk to pray at there. He is famous for blessing kids for their studies and health. At there, we saw people mediate with the honorable beads when the monk did many kindness and found in their body after being “fo far”. At here also got little sleeping Buddha miniature. Next is famous kek lok si temple. Went there for 2times le. Still wanna go. Hehe.. even got chance to try their air itam asam laksa. Nom nom.. I think it’s too sweet. After that, we went to little genting. Freaking nice scenery. But the place is a little forestie and got things I am most afraid of. Mood spoiler. It was a nice outing with hubby’s mom side family. Hehe..

Monday- woke up, and it seem like there is no school for the kids there today. After breakie, we went to Hard rock hotel. Saw the awesomeness there. Very “in” and new nia. Then, went the ship restaurant. The food is too expensive larh. Normal steaks in a ship themed restaurant nia. Stop by at Batu Feringgi and took scenery photo. Went to toy museum. Hehehe.. start being a kid again. Saw a lot cute n yeng stuff. This is my 2^nd time being in the museum. After that, went for dinner at 7^th road. Nom nom nom. Really eat eat n eat, tried everyone’s food, rotating and tapao for supper. Hahas.. sweet jesus!

The taste n colour ngam ngam. Is just the seafood is mark out. L we had 9 dishes,9 rice and pot of tea for $160 only. Damn feaking cheap.

Wednesday- we went to penang again. I will say this because we stayed at butterworth not yet reach penang de. Some rounding at old penang, bought the famous “tau sha pheah” and head to 1^st avenue, komtar, pelangi mall. After walk this 3 malls, I finally found rilakkuma baggie. Oh my rilakkuma fever is here. I can’t decide and the price is reasonable. I bought 2 rilakkuma bags together. Hahhahas… last month just buy Momo3 bag. Huh… at night, we had dinner at some corner foodcourt. Mamamia~ thumbs up for their food. I wonder how to eat sban food after I visit penang. T.T

Thursday- woke up very early to have breakfast at pasar. After that, we went to berlapik for walk walk. There is a dam. The scenery is beautiful and environment protected. Morning jog+ tai chi is recommended. Next stop is raja uda Goddess of 9^th king. Simple and I’m sure it is very crowded during night and festive season. Hehe.. after a long walk, bathed quickly and dooze off. Can’t resist the tiredness. Hahas.. woke up and ready to eat lunch. Homemade toew chew porridge. Went to yam cha at evening accompanied with rojak. Learned some mah jong skill from uncle too. Hehe.. bought bus ticket at last. L went for dinner but the food is not nice. All spicy spicy spicy. ><

Bid farewell with uncle and auntie and travel back home. Together gather with auntie, hubby and 2 new toys. Hahahs.. reached at sban 3.30pm like that. Straight went to hubby’s home. Pack and unpack my stuff and I go back my house at last. HOME SWEET HOME!

A promise to myself, not to crack any parts of my body!!!!
