I realize one 1 thing today, golfer fans are the worst smoker! I can’t believe it. I thought with all their so call high class living, being rich and “famous” they would be bit more sensitive and be more sensible about smoking in public. Erk, i was wrong totally! Here i am sitting down trying to do my work and there they go smoking away like a chimney! I was waving my hand fan away like crazy but still they don’t give a tut about it. At one point, all these man came near my table and start lighting their cigarettes! MY NOSE WAS HURTING SO BAD THAT I WAS SNEEZING LIKE HELL!!! When my Hub came and see me, he was wondering what happened to me..cos i was having flu already. ( balik balik sneeze sampai runny nose ni). Adui, i think my hair now smell like cigarettes too… sigh.

Anyway, funny things happen today too…i saw my old flames here today. kakakakka… and he was with one of my hub’s friend! Adui, it was so awkward i tell you…but hub was really cool about it..inda tau la kalau itu act cool or really cool..kakkakaka..

Anyway, i’m now watching the so called fav player playing now.. to be honest i don’t know who won the whole game..cos i can’t see who was playing..the score board is really too small to see from this marquee anyway. I will need some binocular to be able to see it.. Oh apparently Hub say the winner is Matteo Manssero…and i was hoping that the prize presentation to be done right in front of this VIP marquee..tapi adoi.. jauh pula. Sayang!

Ba ok la… i need to get back to my food now..LOL! It’s been a week since i last exercise, im feeling really fat at the moment..but next week will be back on track with my workout routine. So now, apa lagi makan la sebanyak boleh. Next month, i promise to go on clean diet..basically no junk food, no sweet stuff, just “clean” food. Carb intake have to cut down too not sure if i can do it or not.. but i got to try. I need to lose 3kg to my ideal weight of 52kg… wish me luck peeps! Ba kalau you want to check new baby gifts, click saja on the highlighted link kio. I also need to cari one soon for my good friend Hsuan and my cousin sister Grey’s baby.. Going back home in June and it’s willow 1 year old Birthday celebration sudah. How fast time flies… hmmm.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day to you all! I hope you’ve gotten loads of Christmas presents this year from your friends and Family

I definitely had fun with this year Christmas. Not only I’ve gotten to learn new recipe from my dear Mother In Law but i also got to cooked for 1 dish for the whole family during Christmas Eve dinner.

Family and friends came from afar to celebration Christmas with us, although it was not as hectic as previous years but i find it better as i get to spent more quality time chit chatting and catching up with them again. At least, i don’t need to run up ad down every now and then

Anyway, since 2010 is ending real soon. I thought it would be good for me to do some reflection on what have happen in my life during 2010. Just the way for me to be thankful and be reminded that i may not have a super perfect life, but i should be thankful with God in every way with what he have blessed me with and given to me this 2010.

Early 2010

My fiance ( Then) and I were busy with preparing our wedding arrangement. Going back and forth to kk for photo shoot, make up trial with my MUA and all the hall and hotel arrangement. Back in KL, we were also busy with Kl wedding arrangement. Same thing, busy with photo shoots, make up trial…dinner arrangments.. Etc etc..  It was hectic early 2010, but if you ask me..would i want to do it again? HELL YEA! hahaha.. I truly enjoyed the photo shoots, make up session and wedding gown changing.  I mean..how often do you get to dress up pretty and pose for camera kan??  Of cos, married with the same man over and over again la…LOL! Kalau balik  balik tukar man.. er ada problem sikit tu kan, don’t you think?? hahhaha

By Mid month of 2010-Officially as husband and wife! We had a wonderful dinner reception in KK .. love the whole arrangement and enjoyed the whole event there. I love everything about my wedding in KK. By  June, we had another reception here in kl.. another hectic crazy day but im very lucky that i have my husband who’s more than willing to take over all the details into his hand. I was a relax bride if you want to know…heheh so no bridezilla moment for me at all… YEAY!

Mid June- Right after our wedding reception ( 1 week after i guess) our house got broken into! All our gold jewellery gone!  Camera with all our  wedding pictures in it..GONE! Sigh..till now i am still angered by the fact that he took our camera from us.. i mean… it’s our wedding pictures, i can’t find that moment back anymore..gold at least i could buy it back by time.. sakit hati to the max!

Nasib la my engagement ring (although it’s not cubic zirconia engagement rings But still significant to me) and wedding ring sia inda kasih tinggal di dalam tu almari..if not sure it will be gone too!

By month of September, i got a news that i will be featured almost every Monday on NTV7 breakfast show to talk about fitness and health matter. I was super happy, nervous and clueless at the same time, LOL! What a feeling i tell you. The show was scheduled to go on for 3 months.. starting from end sept all the way to end Dec.  During this time, i met the beautiful Daphne Iking, Aisha Sinclair, Joanne and of cos the tall hunky Jansen ( we used to work together back in Fitness first) and the crazy, funny and friendly Naz. Going live on national tv was surreal for me..i mean how many of us have been given a chance on appearing live on tv that often, Right??  I may not get paid tonnes of money for the appearance..but hell..i’ve gained so much experience from this event and that i will treasure till the end of my life.

I also have been featured in magazine and newspaper.. i guess my “fame” luck was really running well this year … although i wish the same for my ” Money” luck ..but hmmm..maybe in 2011.

Gummi my dog also been featured in one of the pet magazine ( super proud moment for me and my dog ) but by month of Nov she was diagnose with Chronic kidney disease.. sigh.. it was a heart breaking news for Dan and I.  Knowing well that she has not much time left with us ( but im still hoping that she will fight and stay another few more years with us) and she will never get to fully recover from this disease. But so far, God have been answering my prayers, she is still the active cute gummi she is, cheerful and happy ..got her appetite back and now on the way to gain a good healthy weight back in her tummy  I am truly very thankful to God for that. All those food and medication expenses..albeit it being expensive but Gummi’s life is more important to me now then the money.. money i can always cari balik.. but i cannot find another gummi in life.

Of cos there’s more thing have had happen in my life during 2010..but i guess this is the one that i want to share the most with all of you today.

So to all..Merry christmas, happy boxing day and happy new year!

SO TRUE!! HE IS SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS!!! INFACT I THINK THAT NITE.. SOMEONE STUFFED CACTUS INTO HIS ANUS!  I thought he was my friend but i guess i was wrong on this one, he should have this sticker, sticking on him 24 hours! But then again, i should have known better.. waktu kerja dulu sama dia, ramai juga my colleagues yang lain tell me..he is really cunning and kuat tembirang..i guess now it’s true! Oh well..

Tembirang la kau sebanyak mana..akhirnya..tembirang kaling kau tu akan terpecah keluar juga seperti mana kau tipu sia yang kau akan simpan my secret dulu kan?? TSK TSK TSK.. kau sudah tipu sia sekali.. sia masih terima kau sebagai kawan, now when you said my wedding reception is crappy.. i think that’s a lil too much Mr and i don’t think i can forgive you that fast this time around! As friend i think you should be happy for me and  not coming to my wedding and  bitch about it to another friend of ours and walk away from the dinner reception as soon as we walked in. So insulting i tell you.. no respect langsung! Kalau jeles cakap.. jangan bitch about our wedding to our other friends who was sitting next to you the other day..and if you can’t afford to have garden wedding for your wife.. MAN UP DUDE.. wedding is all about your budget and preference at the end of the day..BUKAN siapa lebih kaya and siapa punya wedding lebih grand! Or telling others that our wedding ceremony should have been this way and that way.. Let me ask you this ,WHO ARE YOU AGAIN???!!  DID YOU CONTRIBUTE ANY THING IN THIS WEDDING? IF NO… shut the fuck up already and MAN UP TO YOUR WIFE and tell her..sorry woman i can’t afford garden wedding like this. We just have to do it in a hotel ballroom!  I mean,you must be hurting and full of envy that nite…. that you turn into such a sour man!

Aiya, ni la ba ni kalau orang yang suka tembirang and menunjuk and inda mau mengaku kalah.. susah!

Hmm…banyak lagi sia mau cakap.. tapi cukup la sampai sini ja ni malam.. sampai sini ja la sia meluahkan geram and sakit hati sia.. marah memanjang pun teda guna juga…

Bagus lagi sia cakap pasal weight loss supplements dari buang karan cakap pasal dia.. bulih lagi sia cari cara macam mana mau lose weight…LOL!

I remember when i was 7 years old, that was my first flight to Melaka for my first swimming competion .. being the innocent child i was.. i was so excited telling my mom.. Mommy, mommy look.. look at all those beautiful clouds out there.. we are flying so high that we are already reaching  heaven! Are we there mommy?? are we in heaven now?? hahahaha.. what a naive kid i was that time

So everytime we are on flight to some holiday destination, Daniel will always give in to me and let me sit at the window sit and as soon as the plane goes up high.. i would be in my own wonderland .. looking outside and be in my dreaming land.. wondering how it feels like to touch the thick fluffy clouds.. how does it feel like to sleep on the bed of clouds ( i know we can’t but it’s not wrong kan berangan- angan?) I really could admire the clouds for very very long time.. at times i can even get irritated with Daniel whenever he “disturb”me from my dream wonderland by asking sooooooo much of questions… aiseh.. sometimes macam budak kecil ni.. setiap saat ada saja questions.. tsk tsk tsk .

Sometimes i too wonder do they have live on all those small little islands that is not even recognize on our map.. how would i feel if i am very stranded there.. you know those typical crazy silly questions that runs in your head whenever you see something that’s intrigues you??

Ahh.. writing this and remembering those beautiful fluffy clouds and those beautiful islands on my way back from kuching last week gives me this warm feeling inside me tummy.. hahahahah.. i think im going crazy dy.. but im sure im not the only one have that feeling right????And that feeling of admiring the clouds and islands ?? Rrrrrrigghttttttttt???

Or memang me sot dy??

Aiseh.. kalau sia satu saja feel like that , nevermind la.. i go and check this floor tiles instead la..hmmph!

The event was a success i believe ( i do not know if they broke the world record or not) but looking at the crowd@ dancers i believe they did their best and happy with it

Everyone was dressed to “kill”… it’s so fun to see them dancing looking like that! Halloween was celebrated earlier this year definitely!

Anyway, if you wanna know more about this event and wanna see more pictures of the zombies. please head to facebook and search for thrill the world 2009 shah alam

and to those who wants to know how to achieved ghostly look for your upcoming Halloween party.. here’s the tips for you. It’s easy and simple and it takes around 30-1 hours to do the whole make up look! So enjoy!

You will need

• Face moisturizer – this is to prevent your skin from getting too dry from all those crazy thick make up! You definitely do not want to add another hole in your pocket just to buy another set of anti  wrinkle creams im sure
• Foundation that’s way fairer than your original skin/concealer- as your face base.
• Tissue paper – as your fake rotting skin.
• UHU GLUE – The school kid’s glue not those chapstick looking glue – this is to stick the tissue on your face. You can use latex white paint on the face to stick but that will be  costly and i do not know where we can get that here in Malaysia- latex white paint i mean.
• Corn flour- the last touch up for the skin… use this towards teh end of the process.
• eye shadow – Purple, black, chocolate, red in color – to make bloody looking scars..blackish eye.. lips … etc wherever applied.
• baby powder.- to get that white face look..but again if you have white paint.. you may not need this depending on your face paint product. If its greasy… you may need powder to set the paint on your face.

make sure your face is clean before you apply those make up on. This is the step by step process. Sorry no video .. i totally have forgotten about it .. managed to just take photo’s though..hope this will help you set your self for halloween party! good luck!

1. After cleanising your face.. put on generous amount of moisturizer on…
2. Put tonnes of foundations/ concealer or both and apply evenly on your face.
3. Set your face with baby powder.. your face should be silky smooth and super white by now
4. Apply UHU glue or other brand glue so long as it’s washable on your tissue
5. paste it on your face.. wait for it to dry out ( approximately 3 to 5 min)
6. once glue dries up… apply another layer of foundation/concealer or both on your face.. it’s ok if  your foundation/concealer touches or smeared to the tissue
7. apply powder again
8. now slowly tear some tissue of the face  – This to create the rotting/ open wound effect on the face
9. Put some red and black paint inside the “wound” and bit of brown and red on the side of the tissue…same goes to your eye rims… black, purple, red and chocolate.. this will give you the dark eye, bloody look.
10. paint your lips black and dabbed some red color on your chin for the bloody lips effect.
11. Once everything is done.. take your brush and dab the corn flour on the side of your “wound @ tissue” ..this to ensure that tissue stick firmly on your face and makes it look like your “original” skin.

That’s it peeps.. and you are set to go!

Its simple, easy and cheap.. all you need is your old make up kit or your current make up kit and walaa.. you have your ultimate halloween look!

Here’s some of Dan’s picture i took.

This was on the day itself make up.. he dressed up as evil santa clause..

And this was the night before make up. This was just a trial as i never done any halloween make up before in my whole entire life.. Not too bad huh for first timer?

Ba happy trying and Happy halloween people!

I am ready to be  the wife to Mr Daniel Franklin Gomez

We’ve been very busy lately specially the weekend. Never really had a time to sit, relax and enjoy the weekend anymore like how we used to be hehe..but im enjoying every second of it. Although it is really tiring but heck…im not complaining at all, LOL!! Which woman would complain when you get to try on like tonnes of beautiful gown and make you feel like a princess at every fitting kan?

This was one of the gown fitting i did at Pretty in White in Hartamas… Love the detailing on the train…i think its gorgeous but nope..this is not gonna be my wedding gown ;P ni teaser saja ba…

Ba ok la..im off to check out online backup. I need that magic lil stuff to store all my pictures and work. My laptop memory is getting “stuffier” by day now..:P

Floating village..

I really enjoy this boat ride. despite me being wet with the unpredictable weather in Krabi

See… exactly what i said.. sekejap sana tu awan jadi hitam.. and bikin takut ar, sebab the wind was soo strong macam ada ribut pula sia rasa kadang kadang.

Me, riding bike on my own. I manage juga.. tapi inda la pi jalan raya.. only at the  hotel parking area. Best pula kan ride motor ni…LOL!LOL!

This was taken on the day we’re leaving Krabi…hahah kesian ba kami .. kepunan matahari Krabi.

Just like the signage i was holding said.. this restaurant serve clean and good food!! Yummy.. tapi jangan harap makanan sini murah sangat….1 beef, vege , tom yam soup (small), 2 steam rice and 2 drinks.. can cost you up to Rm 34-36  but you won’t regret it la.

Ba sia mau surf  and look for tv stands dulu, i think it’s time for me to do so.. get a new tv stand at home

Ba, till then. Nite peeps.

Our transportation to airport to hotel and vise versa.. included in our package. Taking Taxi will cost your 600 baht per way

This is the scenery you get to see in Krabi.. i like the bukit bukit or gunung gunung di sana..cantik!

Our hotel name..i recommend this place if you ever visit Krabi..:)

Our room

The balcony of our room..

The mat rempit of the year!!

Boat ride to the famous landmark/symbol of Krabi

The famous symbol..unfortunately..i can’t remember the name.

The cave.. my first cave visit. Interesting yet scary for me…LOL!

The dancing mangrove.

Stay tune.. more pictures will be uploaded..for now me wanna sleep..nite people.

As you all may already know, we spent our weekend at Krabi this time around as our post engagement holiday. It was really fun! I really enjoyed the short weekend trip.

We arrived on Friday afternoon only to be greeted by rainy, cloudy and windy weather. The hotel coordinator told us that the weather has been like that for the past few days and may last till weekend. My heart sank when i heard the news.As soon as we reach the hotel, we waste no time and went out to check Krabi Pranang beach area. Before we stroll down the beach, Dan suggested that we should rent a motorbike to go around town and head we go hunt for motorbike rental place. Five minute walk later.. we found the place. For 200 baht per day (rm20) and we have our own “superbike” to travel in Krabi.

I was kinda nervous at first when Dan start the motorbike, it was my first time riding bike with him and that was his first too after his accident 10 years ago, LOL!! But after a while, we both had fun, laughing and Dan’s making funny sound and comments while riding the bike…ah.. that was quite an experience for me..oh did i mentioned? I also pandai pandai start motorbike and rode for about 200 meter back and forth..heheh that was fun..but i dont think i will do that here in Malaysia. Sini scary la.

Anyway, on the second day weather was still  gloomy and our island trip has to be cancelled due to choppy sea and unpredictable weather. We decided to extend the bike rental and took a trip down to Krabi town about 30 km away from where we stayed. At town, we took a boat to I can’t remember the river name now but it was suppose to bring us to this famous Krabi landmark. Along the way, we stop at one spot where we were allowed to go into a cave..that was scary yet exciting for me.. i never been to a cave before in my whole life..so that was the first (again) for me.

After the cave trip, the boat man took us to canal of mangrove.. i see lots and lots of kayu bakau “menari”. The way the tree intertwined with each other…really look like they were dancing. But the first thing pops in my mind when i saw the mangrove  was the dogs that was thrown at pulau ketam i wonder what happen to those dogs… sigh.. i hope every single of them was rescued now.

After the boat ride, which cost us 300 baht each (rm30 per person for an hour) we were suppose to go and climb this tiger cave with 1200 steps! Yes, you read that right 1200 steps.. but hahahah..someone said..er.. lets cancel that one and just go to gastrpod fossil beach.. and hop we go to that beach..sampai sana…hmm it was kinda dull for us.. so we didnt want to waste another Rm20 per person just to see batu or siput kerang yg sudah bertahun lama di dalam laut and jadi fossils… so we just did bit of shopping and went back home straight to hotel.

All in all.. the trip was really relaxing,fun and enjoyable  despite being disappointed for not being able to go to Phi Phi island and enjoy the white sandy beach as how Leonardo Dicaprio get to enjoy it in his movie called THE BEACH.

Dan and i promise we will come back to Krabi again soon to enjoy the island next round.

For now, i need to check this fat burner out ;P

By the time you read this post i am already at airport on the way to Krabi for our 3 days 2 nights holiday ( if you are reading this tmrw morning, that is). I am excited yet at the same time worried. Excited cos it’s holiday means i dont have to work, worried because i have work bertimbun waiting for me here in Kl to settle I just hope i can enjoy this holiday. I have a loads to study before proceeding with the training that i am suppose to conduct for all the trainers here..pressure is on!

Anyway, these past few days has been a crazy day for me. I really had a busy week that i could not really attend to my blog and update it as often as before.. i have lost so much of my assignment due to my work schedule. Sampai rumah saja terus sia malas sudah..all i wanna do is rest and relax. sayang oh all my assigments tu…tsk tsk tsk.

Early morning on tuesday i had mild food poisoning..i think i have food poisoning. Early in the morning, i started vomitting but all that came out was yellow color fluid..and its so bitter! And then i start purging at around 9 am…sigh.. but i had to go to work.. because i have an important meeting to do.. i managed to hold everything back ( didn’t puke and purge) but towards the evening.. my head pula throbbing like hell! At one point, it was so painful that i really feel like puking again.. sigh..i have no idea why la. I think that was my migrain attacking.

Wednesday took an mc..went to clinic..Doc said, my tummy is full of gas but i have no idea what’s with my head…because that morning my head still throbbing … hmmm.. is it because of my period? I always have this weird sicknesses whenever i have my monthly visit..kenapa tu ar? Do you ladies experience the same thing?

Sigh.. any how.. i will continue with this on next round.. as its already 1am and i really need to sleep.. i seriously wanna know.. am i the only one experiencing  all this weird symptom?? Or is it normal??

Hmmm sidetrack sekejap… don’t you wish Malaysia too have a cool rv parks like those places in the west?? Heheheh.. i always wonder how it feels like to have a moving home must be fun ka? Boleh pigi picnic anywhere and everywhere without worrying much about building tents and all.

And oh… this trip … Dan and i will be travelling using the famous surgical mask! That will be our first…LOL!! Dan even said..we should address each other as Doctor Dan and Emelda and use the surgical gloves too!!  Wahahahah..i wonder what will the airport people say…Hmmmm…;P

Can you guess how much does this food and drink cost me in Jakarta? If you have been following my post about Jakarta, im sure you will be able to guess the price…. roughly.

Nothing is cheap when it comes to mall food court and not knowing many places where i can get food that similar to Malaysia food. i don’t have much choice but to have my lunch and dinner at mall food court. I wish i had someone bringing me around though..unfortunately…no one was free..sob sob….

But one thing i love about JKT mall food court is their cleanliness!!! It’s wayyyyyyyyy cleaner than Malaysia mall food court…seriously..even their toilets..OMG!!! I think i can even walk kaki ayam in the loo and not feeling disgusted at all, LOL!! And oh…I love the fresh fruit juice too.. its so pure and yummy! Wish i can find one place here in Malaysia where they serve 100% pure juice…no sugar, no ice and less water…hmmm yummy!! Anyone out there know where i can get this??

Anyway, if you are looking for Outer Banks rentals for your holidays outside of Malaysia, just hit the highlighted “note” . I wish i can go to one of the houses…but ….. it would be awesome if i could rent one of the houses there for my honeymoon or even my wedding venue…;) but hmm..mimpi saja la Mel….LOL!

this is not a Christmas party invitations…but if you wanna checked out just that..then i suggest click the link given.

I forgot my handphone back in my apartment..decided to asked the taxi driver to make a u turn and drive me back to the apartment. To my surprise ..he was very unhappy about it..he even sigh loudly showing his “happiness” to me.. i thought that was really rude of him.

Exactly 10:45am, after leaving my apartment again…he made a big bang sound in the car..i was shocked, he was hitting his stering wheel few times and started cursing! I thought that was really really rude of him to do so.. i wanted to asked him is everything ok when suddenly…i saw this…

I  was stunt, scared and panicked! I thought it was a riot and at that point suddenly the image of my mom, dan and gummi flashed in my head..i thought im gonna be gone in that  sea of people and motor bikers….

Not until the cab driver started saying..this is why i was rushing just now..i wanted to escape from this crowd..its Jakarta election day tomorrow and today is the last day for the supporter to do their campaign…i was relief upon hearing that news…but still not good enough to make my nerve calm down. Along the way to FX mall, i was really alert of my surrounding..i was really worry that  a riot might just start out of nowhere…

You will understand it if you were in my shoe..LOL! In Malaysia, campaign was not done this way..so that really my first… my cab was surrounded by bikers..with flags.. small placard.. music blasting  from the bike saying UNDILA SBY ( something like that) and the whole bikers came with coordinated t-shirt colors! OMG..to me it really look like a riot and im stuck right in the middle of it! My heart beat was racing..seriously! And to calm myself down..i texted Daniel..but unfortunately..Dan being Dan…he replied to me in a very naughty way…LOL!!

The 15min rides turn to be 45 minutes cab ride for me..and i dont have to mentioned la how much teh cab cost me on that day…LOL! It was a BOMB! LOL!!

Apparently, the traffic jam and the campaigner will go even more crazier towards the evening…. there will be more supporters on the road.. more cars.. more bikers ..more buses..all transporting the supporters to the stadium next to FX mall…and that’s exactly what happen in the evening… but to the locals… this was nothing! It used to be even MORE crazier…. “gasp”

This was around 3-4pm in the evening…pictures was taken from the gym lounge area.

And this was around 5pm….

I was thankful to God that nothing bad happen that day.. jakarta was safe although to me.. that could just start something nasty and that was one of  my most unforgetable experience while being in Jakarta

Its been more than 3 weeks since i last updated my blog. Been busy and away, sorry about that peeps.

Ok im just gonna do quick update here today as i don’t have much time to spare before i have to head to my bed and zzzzzz…tomorrow is working day and im dead tired from our trip back to kk. ( lambat tidur semalam, LOL!!)

My trip back to Sabah this time around meant a lot to both Dan and i. We got ENGAGED and the day that we choose falls on  18.07.09….exactly 2 years 11 days after we became couple. Thank you to those who congratulate us at facebook  Pictures will be uploaded and updated soon at facebook. Please do give us time while we are trying settle back in KL after being away for too long (well, at least for me la)

Meantime, here’s some pictures for you to see Enjoy! All pictures courtesy of my cousin Erin Gray… for more info about her..do check her blog out at the link given

Hmm..after two weeks being with my mom and family, i must say..i have gained extra pounds, arggggggg!!

If  im gonna go on like this, eating like there is no tomorrow….i serioulsy will need to find weight loss supplements ASAP!!  Sob sob..workout session starts again…from Tuesday onwards.

1 weeks gone, 2 and half more to go before i can go home and hug Gummi. I miss her so much, that i don’t even wanna go and see pet section in the mall..takut sia nangis. sigh..i wish i have a 3G phone so i can call back home and get to see gummi from it…sighhhhhhh.

My training was not as intense as i thought it would be maybe just  mentally challenging as i need to remember every single workout name in full! I’ve also learned few bahasa indonesia like Macet, Cepet, Jorok,kasus..LOL!!  But i still do not understand their food here..banyak bahasa yang sia inda faham and its kinda hard to order food because of that… as they do not know who to translate it to Bahasa Melayu. Tau la sia ni cerewet when it comes to food.

The traffic here is horrendous tahap gila..i do not know how Jakartan’s can take it everyday driving in that condition. Motorcycle, bas, car everything is in same lane and worse..they love to honk at each other..whether they are asking you to make way for them, angry honk, impatience honk, whatever la….. diorang mesti honk! Kalau honk sekali inda pa..ni balik balik…bikin panas!

But its totally different when it comes to the people here…they are so warm, welcoming, friendly and nice. They are so curious about me..always asking questions, where im from, what am i doing here, what race am i…banyakla..and now i have added few more people in my facebook friend list..and all of them are the trainers here.

When it comes to food, there is only 2 choices for you here. Either you spent your money on super expensive food (standardnya sama macam di ss2 wai sek kai..cuma kau dalam aircon area and mall) or you go to the most affordable food but its kinda hmmm..inda sedap. Ispent most of my money here buying food..i can’t get used to makanan diorang di sini specially in the kantin. Don’t ask me why they call it Canteen. Although some of it looks yummy tapi sia inda berani makan. In the food court,satu Char kuey tiaw equal to Rm8-9 per plate!  And kalau kau mau beli minuman kotak yang kecil where we normally get it in KL for Rm1..sini bulih sampai Rm3.50! That’s how mahal it is here bila you choose to makan in a good place. Sigh!! Gila i tell you..im sure i won’t need any diet pills that work if i hari hari macam ni..sure kurus dengan semula jadinya…LOL!

Here’s some of the pic..

The most expensive Char kuey tiaw i ever makan!

This is another club that i visited recently but the atmosphere doesn’t feel like you are in the gym but more like in a spa.

They even have their own saloon in the gym! Yes, i did my new hair color here..not too bad juga la the result! Murah highlight and coloring only around Rm164.

The Lounge area in the vip club..

Today was super long day for me..my day started at 5:30amGot ready and when to airport straight.

I was charged extra Rm40 for my luggage….dang it! What do you expect when a girl leave the country for 3 weeks? To bring only 5kg worth of barang??! Uh Air asia is ridiculous la…

In the airplane..i met loads of MONKEY GATAL BUNTUT! LOL!! Yea, that’s what i should call them… this monkey love to tukar tukar sit… and the next thing you know…they are not there sitting next to you no more.. but few second later..another person would do the same..sia heran oh!  Macam la tempat duduk sia tu “transit” area!

The toilet cleanliness in the airplane was HORRIBLE! Ada lagi coklat terapung in the mangkuk tandas and the other “kamar” was splashed with the toilet blu all over!! I dont even dare to touch the toilet sit! URG!

Sampai airport, me kena tahan…i didn’t know that i should tick the “on holiday/leisure” box instead of business… LOL!! Manala sia tau, i was just being honest.. LOL! Nasib sia inda kena buang balik pi KL! Can you imagine what will happen if that took place??ERK! Pengsan!  At first he doesnt wanna give in but i told him im here for only 3 weeks and showed him my return ticket and then told him im here for training..as soon as he heard TRAINING..dia marah sia pula..dia bilang kenapa you tak cakap you datang sini for training? Adeh..mana la sia tau pak …to me work means business la..be it training  or training sambil sambil ambil kesempatan melancong! LOL!!  At last si  Pak immagration tu cakap…next time you should TIPU sikit…tick box leisure kalau kau datang sini tanpa visa…im like waaaaaaaaaaaaa….but at the same time grateful ni..LOL!

Sampai saja sia di luar airport…the same heat and haze in KL greet me..i was hoping it to be less hazy but i guess hmmm i was wrong!

My collegue here are super great..super friendly and helpful Im lucky to have them without them ,im sure i’ll be lost here..Jakarta is just tooooo crowded for me.

Anyway, that’s my day one story..will update more soon.

This is where i stay now…for 3 weeks. Peak Residence.

And this will be my bedroom

Not too bad eh?? But i still prefer my bed at home…:(  I miss home already…Dan and Gummi…hmmm.. i hope they are doing fine.

Day 1 at work today, what did i gained or learned today?? Let’s see..

1- My team mates mainly Men..only 20% women instructors

2- I am so petite standing next to them..so petite that i can’t help but felt intimidated by them..lol! ( for first time i felt like that in gym..LOL) To me …they are like HULK and im like a small lil girl…

3- I have so many things to learn, specially with muscles name and exercises name ( ok, i know the basic name of the  exercise but the specific saintific name…white flags for me)

4- My biggest upcoming challenge will be..to get bunch of people be interested in learning and passing their exams with flying colors! Kalau inda, year end..no bonus for me..sob sob sob!

5- I will be away starting this friday till mid next month and will be back to kl for one day just in time to change my baju’s and repack all my holiday baju’s back to KK for 2 weeks! This will be the longest time that i ever been far away (alone) from home, Gummi and Dan…sedih pula sia ni…astaga. Im sure i’m gonna miss all of them dearly! I hope i can do it…sob sob.

” i can hear Daniel giggling at the back quietly for his 1 month freedom”

6-And tomorrow will be a gruelling day for me..visiting 2 clubs,learn more about muscles,exercises, more info about teh trainers needs and then gonna have to work my ass out with the current development coach. I hope i can walk after the workout session without the need of holding any of the plasma stand in the gym! Memalukan saja kalau sia start crawling ni…ROFL!!

Countdown begins today…3 more days to Penang ,6 more days to Jakarta and a month and four days left to Sabah getaway! Wohoooo!

I hope i get to go sight seeing in Jakarta over the weekend…i hope someone there will be nice enough to show me around and i hope Dan will make a trip down to JKT  :P malangnya ..Gummi can’t come along..uwaaaaaaaaa!!

I still can’t believe that i got the job, hehehe..it felt so unreal ni…that i am going back to the fitness industry. I may not be in my department anymore ( Group Exercise) but this is how my life and journey in fitness industry started..i was working as personal trainer in clark hatch malaysia. ahhhh…the feeling of being happy, excited and soooo grateful that i was hired ni… unbelievable ..im so satisfied ni..that’s how i feel.. puas hati sangat sangat.

I do not have to wake up in the morning and think..Yea, i got a job but i dont like the job but i have to do it because i need the money…it’s so demotivating you know… but now, i dont feel like that anymore…YEA!

Before this job…i was actually offered 2 jobs..one as an account manager and another one was event and promo exec, both jobs require me to do sales…there’ s pros and cons to both jobs.

Account manager, its a distance from home and basic was really really low..but commission offered apparently was great ( they do not want to tell me how much was the commission, cos they say it vary from one product to another) and then its an established company and i am bound with them for 1 year to which if i perform well they will hired me as full time stuff.

The event and promo exec was not too far away from the account manager job office,its like neighbouring town only, The basic salary  was ok but commision was not mentioned at all although the manager did say if i manage to bring result in 3 months as agreed, he will reward me with bonus but  if i failed ,he will sacked me immediately on the third month! “gasp”

The pressure was high ( for me la).. you see i do not have any background on promo or event..my only experience handling sales and event was in Interexpo but that comes with guidance..but apparently this company do not want to spend so much time on teaching and guiding you but want you to bring result straight away..hence i was given a target to reach rm10k in 3 months time…for a roller bladding sport arena…in an ulu place….”gasp again” when he offered me the job..i was not confident at all about the Rm10k in 3 months time..i need to learn, study and understand the market..macam mana mau deliver 10k in 3 months time?? Specially for a person like me who do not know nothing about roller bladding..and my given period was only 3 months??  and if not..IM OUT! And the thought of  losing my job in 3 months times …stressed me out  and made me worried sick

But the magic call came in on wednesday afternoon, asking me to come in for an interview and without thinking much i said yes to it and on the same day i was called back again for second interview on monday…and now..here i am going on a new journey, new place, new challenges with the new company…

I need money…i need money..i need money…YES, I NEED MOOLAH!!!! Although i know moolah is coming to visit me soon but that will only happen in 4 weeks time from now..and then all that moolah will again be “invested” in the bank.. ARGGGGG..dang it..we work to pay only for the  freaking damn debts…arg…well that at least for me now..i need to catch up with what ever that i did not pay for the past few months..1st thing that i need to pay off is MY CAR..my beloved car. 1 more year to go and im done paying that car installment and im debt free (at least for the car la) so sayang la if i let the car go..although i have thought about selling it off..but hmmm..tak sampai hati juga.

Earlier this month, i went to the bank to apply for their so called super fast debit card approval..hahaha…that was just a freaking lie.. its almost 3 weeks now..i still haven’t heard from them so i decided to call the HQ yesterday..guess what??? The application is still in process!!! WTF! Now, im worried …will they decline my debit card application? They shouldn’t right? Because after all its my money in the bank, unlike credit card…Hmmm ntah la. Kalau this tak approve juga..pengsan la me..i’ve been keeping and saving all my hard work money from blogging to use for my trip back to kk which is only 6 weeks away from now (i think its 6 week) and without that money…waaaaaaaa..i memang kering macam ikan masin la ni bila sia balik kk… dang it! MONEY MONEY MONEY…isk! So menyusahkan..with you pun susah without you pun susah! With you i can get what ever i want like discount lingerie or some cute lil stuff… tapi bila over spent pula, mampus kering balik..bila kering… makan roti kering sajala…isk! Balik lagi sia jadi ikan kering…waaaaa…

Kering ,kering ,kering…sigh.

Anyway, this weekend i hope it will be a better weekend for me not like last week, .. i really need to go out this weekend to get stuff for my trip back to kk…maybe not buying it(yet) but just do price comparison… i don’t think i have enough time when i start with the new work.. my weekend will be taken away. Yea i work weekend but im hoping that this coming interview (friday) will be a good news for me..it’s something that im really looking forward for and i hope im hired. Please, please Lord have mercy on me ..please give me this job, i want the job.

Oh dear, im excited and  nervous at the same time.

Hmm, i guess that’s all for  now..need to do some house chores and do myself a Chappati for breakfast Yes, i can do chappati from scracth! Hehehehe…thanks to Dan’s mom, my cooking improved! Ah..maybe on my next post, will show you guys how i did my chappati for the first time…i had a good laugh at myself!

Stupid Monday!! Yea, that’s what i will call today..STUPID MONDAY!

First of all i didnt had a good weekend… it was a shitty weekend..don’t asked why i dont want to talk about it because talking about it will just ignite my anger and hatred and seriously even if i  talk about it…it will just freaking waste my time!!

And then came today the Stupid Monday…early in the morning i received an email from an unknown lady saying that i BETRAYED her because i didnt turn up for the meeting that we both had agreed on last sunday. I apparently just didn’t bothered to show up because the price she has offered  to buy some product from mudah.com did not meet my expectation..im like HUH?? What the fuck?? I didn’t even agreed on selling my stuff to her in the first place..i only sent her an email last night saying that i have sold that particular product  earlier and have deleted the advertisement the same day she asked me for the discount…how can i arranged and appointment with  her pula on Sunday when the product has been sold??  Stupid Fool!  Anyway, i replied to her email telling her she must have gotten the wrong person and we definitely did not make any arrangement to meet up on SUNDAY..and explained to her that we only kept in touch once and that was when i sent her the email thanking her for showing interest in my product and told her that it was sold to someone else already.  Sigh.. at the end..she realized it..she sent me an apology email…tsk tsk tsk…kan sia kena marah for no darn reason?? EARLY IN THE MORNING??

Then i went for an interview today at shah alam sec 16..while waiting for the interview to begin ( second interview with the Datuk) came the security gurad of the company telling me..cik ada orang nak jumpa pasal kereta cik la..dah lama diorang tunggu macam 30 min dah tu.. immediately i know who they are…the car tower! Or what ever they are called la.. i prepared myself for the worse that there is a tow car waiting to tow my car..came out i didn’t see towing car but 2 indian dude big size just like a thug..one thin and one fat.

The thin fella explain to me that they are from the towing company and now because my car has not been paid for 3 month they need to repossess the car if i am not gonna pay it…then i told them my situation that i could not pay now since i dont have a job and my money is running low..but i will definitely pay once i get some money. Then the thin feela said..ok la macam ni..kami tolong you la ni hari..kami kasih lepas you..you bayar bank bila you ada duit tapi you bagi kita duit juga la sebab kita pun makan gaji juga..now, what is your understanding when someone said that to you?? They want money don’t they?? when he said that you bagi kami duit…. i immediately know he wants to squeeze me..and then i told him..look, i dont have cash now.i cant pay you whatsoever..i have interview going on at this moment and im trying to get a job… but let me make a call first and they said ok…

I know that asking kopi money was wrong and they will get into trouble if they were caught doing  so. So the first thing i did was called Dan and told him they want to take my car and asking me for money..now, as soon as i said that “THEY ASKED ME MONEY” the thin guy face changed and he was panicking and said i didn’t asked you for money..i just told you to pay to the bank and then he have the cheek to say..I as in me emelda DO NOT UNDERSTAND…and he asked me to pass the phone to the big fat dude to talk to Daniel..by the time this fat dude was talking to Daniel..the interviewer came out and asked me..what’s the fuss all about .. “i was so malu ok” and told him that this fella asking me money because i could not pay my car since im not working for how many months already…then the kind manager told them ..she will pay the car,give her one week..”macam dia tau saja ni duit mau masuk in my bank” then he said..leave her now… the two indians dude..left without asking me for money anymore…i guess they takut..but the funny thing was…THEY DENIED IT TO DANIEL… They said..we didnt asked for money but she panicked and talked nonsense and told you we asked for money and my dearest Bf just said..oh ok…sigh…

Anyway, the second round interview went on…of cos, Datuk asked me what was going on and whats the fuss all about… memang malu la..but i have to kasih tebal muka and told him the whole story..he asked me why haven’t i paid..told him i have been out of job for so long..and money is running low..hence why i didn’t pay..i could not concentrate on the interview but it has to go on.. i was given a tough questions…this is not fitness industry job…totally different from my last job..i do not know much about it but i guess i manage to pull some “guns” out specially when i said…. I blog and i have steady visitor everyday…Malaysia itself around 100 to 150 a day and i told them that we once organized SBG 08 and it was a  success just by using internet and bloggers to help promote the event without the media help not until much later”

So i am starting a new job in a week time, job that i have no experience what so ever but im willing to learn although im worried that i could not deliver the result… but i guess what Dan’s said made sense..give it a go… at least there is some pocket money for you to roll till you get your next job…

Sigh…im so hating my situation right now… im so hating yfitness for closing down… its been a year now that i have no steady job… i never live like this before… and definitely never live on few bucks a week…arg..hating the situation!

I know i have a new job already and  i should be happy..but the job comes with big responsibility and of cos im not 100% confident cos i never work in that line before…in my head now, im thinking…can i do it? Can i prove im worthy for that Rmxxxx a month??can i reach the target?? Sighhhhhhhhh…

Oh Dear Lord, please help me….give me the strength and drive to keep pushing and not give up… mayb one day my dream of buying outdoor furniture will come true juga when i can prove to them im worth the Rmxxxx

‘iklan sekejap’

Hah!  So much of my “I wanna be lazy on my birthday plan and talk” wahahhaha..so not! I ended up cleaning the house.. sweeping, mopping, washing all dishes, feed gummi,clean her cage and gave her shower…u know why?? Because of stupid American idol result! I was so irritated and sakit hati that Kris won the title..sometimes i wonder…Orang america ni ada otak ka inda da? Do they choose talent or look? I thought American Idol was talent contest not “beauty contest”…sigh..oh well..Im sure Adam will be a successful singer from today onwards even if he didn’t get to be crowned as American Idol Winner. Yeay to that! Nevertheless, Congrats Kris…wish you all the best and good luck with your new career!

Enough with AI..come back to me. So there’s so much of things has happen since the last day i updated my post. I when for an interview yesterday at Sri Kembangan..not sure if  im gonna get that job or not  but if  i do ..hmmm..i may need to rethink again..LOL!! Basic rendah and the travelling time needed is ridiculously panjang from home to Kembangan its like 45 minutes for me…adeh deh.. pengsan la sia kalau hari hari spend that much time on the road to work and back home and that timing tak masuk traffic jam…imagine if its peak time…arg..i may spent like 2 hours…LOL!

And then in the evening, i volunteered for Harlem Globetrotters event.  Dan’s company needed help and i offered myself to do it, easy job..just usher Datuks and Datins to their sit..and thats about it..the hard part was..to recognize them and then “halau” orang tak faham bahasa…yes… sometimes people can be such a pain in the arse la.tsk tsk tsk..i had so much fun at the event…i laughed so much that my jaw was hurting and same goes to my tummy… they were damn funny and talented!  Will show pictures later.

On Monday, i made a trip to KLIA…No i was not there to fetch anyone or buy ticket to some exotic get away holiday, but i was there for my cousin and my lil niece Brooklyn. They have 3 hours to spare before their flight back to Sdyney..since i do not know when will i see them again.. so i took the chance to go and see them. I only have 1 half hour time together but it is worth every toll money and gas for me. Ya la.. like i said..i do not know bila lagi i can see them..they come back to kk once a year and its not always the same month and date as my travelling plan back to kk…so yea.. and OMG, my niece is such a cutie pie, friendly, talkative ( in baby language) and hahahah…very naughty. She rebut my fruit from my hand and finish it up..yes, my cousin bought few bananas from Kg…sia makan sikit saja..the rest habis my niece makan..hahah..Brook sempat lagi kasih pecah one glass in the airport..she nearly gave her mom a heart attack! I hope i will be bale to see them again soon…like in a years time from now, not 5 or 10 years down the road

Today was my 1st birthday celebration at Dan’s family house ( last year we were out celebrating it). Dan’s mom made me a cheese cake(yummy cheese cake) and Dan’s Step dad cooked me dinner. At least one of my wish today came true heheh..Im so thankful for their nice warm gesture… ya la, im not their daughter ( yet) but they really made an effort for my day..althought its small celebration..but it meant a lot to me. Thank you Auntie and Uncle..and Sumee for being there, celebrating my birthday together. Really appreciate it.

So im a year older ..im officially 28 today …gonna hit the number 3 soon… am i hating it you ask?? NOPE..i dont..i like my age and im waiting for the number 3 to come soon too ( patiently)… Even with number 3 in front..i dont think my life will change a lot…i will only be wiser, richer, prettier and happier!  Im loving my life!

How about you? Loving your age and embracing it gracefully??
