Oi, photographer!

The last day of Chinese New Year, a.k.a Chap Goh Meh in Hokkien... is precisely known as Chinese Valentine Day... Regardless those who are in relationship or not, they will spend this day by throwing or picking the mandarin oranges to/from the river in the hope of finding their future beloved.

Alright, stop the crap... I guess I was totally unrelated with these kinda love love stuffs... Simply because I got no love~~

Thus, I spent my day by practicing my photoshooting skill at Pavilion area, right after I went to Fitness First.

Alrite, I admit that my skill isn't up to the level yet.. well, I spent most of my time by adjusting the damn freaking ISO, aperture and the shutter speed... Oh gosh, damn confusing la.. this combination...


Yeah, here are the outcomes of mine..... which I think they are just so-so only...







Thoughts? Well, I think they are extremely normal... normal compact camera also can perform laaa~~ I need confidence boosting la... T.T

Once upon a time

Again, I got this inspiration when I was passing my motion in Fitness First toilet... and really, recalling it back, it made me laugh myself whilst I was putting my effort to "make" my chocolate cake... :D

Alright, a quick one...Back in 3 years ago, when I was still working in OCBC Bank.

I remember that day our department had a "makan-makan" session and it delayed our office hours which we for sure had to work over-time.

Well, none of us was daring to claim our over-time since we were just treated by the Head of Department. But then, someone... I had no idea whether she had a mentally disorder or.... she was desperate to earn extra income... She tried to claim the so-called "over-time".

In general, we had to fill in the purpose of working for over-time in the OT form. And guess what, this fellow really stunned me... There, how she filled in her OT form:

Purpose of OT: Makan-makan session from 5pm to 6.30pm, total OT hours: 1.5

*Stunned*, I'm wondering... treating her to eat was also part of her job scope?

Therefore, I was so evil enough until I reported this to my supervisor... Hehe, yeah I really hate her.. in a way of her attitude.. *Blek*

Kids vs Adults

Wake up early in the morning, seriously I got nothing to do but just facing my lappy and simply browsing the websites...

When I was passing my motion, suddenly there was an inspiration that is for me to update my blog. Yeah, it's my thoughts of being a kid and also an adult.

Well precisely, I'm qualified to address myself as adult now... seriously I'm 23 this year, it's hard for me to deny it.. and ah, it has been years ago that I could address myself as "kid"

Being a kid:
  1. TV Channels to be watched: Cartoon Network, Disney Channel
  2. Choices of meal: Mcdonald, KFC or whatsoever fast foods
  3. When secretly liked a girl: "Awww, I like her because she is cute"
  4. Daily activities: Watch cartoon, do homeworks, nagged by mum, play digimons, hang out with friends
  5. The biggest fear: Memorising the whole karangan that assigned by teacher every week. Subsequently, worried of kena rotan by the damn teacher in case the karangan test didn't pass.

But then, being an adult:

  1. TV Channels to be watched: Not fixed, clicking every channel to see which one is interesting
  2. Choices of meal: Anything nice or luxury will do...
  3. When secretly liked a girl: "Woah, I like her smile, her body shape is wow! Eh, she got bf or not? Am I her type? Is she still a virgin?"
  4. Daily activities: Still will watch cartoon but not frequent, no more homeworks, mum dares not to nag at me, go gym, and also watch porn! (Of cause not daily la...)
  5. The biggest fear: Cannot graduate, no money to spend, no nice food to eat....

As a conclusion, I think being a kid is more relaxing.... Don't you think so? XD

Sky God Worshipping

Sky God Worshipping, also known as "Bai Thee Gong" in Hokkien, usually held on the 9th day of Chinese New Year. Precisely, this ceremony is specially for the Hokkiens but then it doesn't prohibit others to join this event la~ :) Well, originally, this event is to celebrate the end of world war... well I think it should be the second world war, if I'm not mistaken. Further, during the war, with the assistance of those sugar canes, the Hokkiens were able to hide themselves without the noticing of the enemies ( I think is the Japanese soldiers). Subsequently, the war was ended at the 9th day of Chinese New Year. Thereafter, as an appreciation to the contribution of these sugar canes,every Hokkien's family will celebrate this big event by sticking up 2 sugar canes on the left and right hand side of the sacrifices.

With that, this year I grabbed the chance to spend such a big day of Hokkien. Well, simply because I don't have to rush back to KL anymore. And I felt great that I could spend it with my beloved family.

The kids in my house are growing up gradually and they also have the chance to celebrate this event. Yeah, they were enjoying it because they could play all those fireworks... running here and there. Us, as adults who suffered.... simply because we had to keep our eyes on them as they were playing dangerous stuffs...

It was 12am, the worshipping began. We started to pray to the "Sky God"... and here are the kids... each of them had different hopes.... created by us~



Zhi Yang: Bless me grow up fast fast, don't be lazy worm, always do homeworks (Yeah, he doesn't like to do homeworks)

Hao Yang: Bless me grow fatter, don't so naughty (He is the monkey in our house and he is extremely naughty)

Jie Xiang: Bless me become thinner, don't be so fat... (Well, he is 9y.o only but having 40++kg now, can't imagine few years after, how will he look like...)
Jie Yun: Bless me not to be quiet, must talk more. (She doesn't like to talk, even was locked in toilet... she didn't shout us to open the door until I intended to pee and only realised she was locked inside the toilet)
Ruo Xuan: Bless me grow up fast fast, don't challenge teachers anymore, don't simply beat people and don't simply scold people.. (Yeah, she is a chili padi)
Moment later, all were preparing to "contribute" the golden stuffs to the Sky Gold, as an appreciation to the Sky God for blessing us throughout the year...

-End of the story-
Guess what, I'll be going back to KL tomorrow. See ya my KL pals... :)

To Nobody

Dear Nobody:

Happy Chinese New Year, hope you are enjoying for it.

Well for myself, I thought I would have been enjoying this moment. But then, it is not. There were a lot unforseen circumstances occurred in my place.

A friend of mine passed away few days ago due to the car accident. He wasn't closed with me anyway, but I still feel upset regarding this disaster. Seeing her mum cried like nobody... it was really make my heart aching.

I was de-motivated after all. Simply due to the disturbance of this incident. And it stimulated my feeling on how short our life is....

Pal,
I feel guilty. I couldn't control my temper when facing the kids in my house. Yeah, they pissed me off and I shouted at them once again.

I should have been more appreciating what I'm having now, instead of hating them...I really owe them my apology....

I wholeheartly hope that I can be more rational on what I intend to do.... I don't want any regret, guilty and upset anymore........

Last but not least, may the friend of mine rest in peace..





Best Regard,
JiN

Family Outing

8 in the morning, I was still snoring. "Bang Bang Bang", I heard someone knocked my door.. reluctantly I woke up and opened my door... "Ah boyyy, Papa wanted us to have breakfast at Dim Sum restaurant wei!" my mum shouted at me meanwhile she tried to wake my brother up in other room.

I was still sleepy, but what to do? King's order, nobody dared not to disobey it... Therefore, prepared ourselves and went to the Dim Sum restaurant located at Sungai Petani.

Well, since we were already at Sungai Petani, therefore I suggested to go Penang Island since it is not that far away from Sungai Petani. And my brother was too good enough on that day and agreed to be our driver. Precisely, I was thinking to drive there, together with my mum only, but since he offered us his service, so we just accepted it... :)

I was thinking to go Penang Times Square, but then due to we were not familiar with the Penang roads.. so my brother gave up and subsequently we went to Queensbay for our window shopping. My mum didn't really like to shop at there, simply because she perceived that the things sold there were extraordinary expensive. Yeah, don't forget that she is already an auntie who likes to compare price... further, in marketing term... this is what we called "price-sensitive-customer".

There, I decided to buy myself a new camera... you may say me rich or whatsoever. But then, I've foregone my savings for my UK trip to buy this camera - DSLR. Yeah, like my friend told me... no regret after decided to buy something, instead just fully utilised it.

In between, something bad occured while we were leaving Queensbay. Our car was blocked by a Kancil that caused us in difficulty to drive out. After putting so much effort into moving out our car, my brother was already pissed off. Guess what, he smashed the kancil... pulled the wiper and splitted it into two. My mum and I were stunned by all these... and I quickly stopped my brother and pulling him back to our car... It was really really scary la dude if you were in the scene! Moral of the story: Park your car wisely, else you will end up like this..

As my mum urged us to go back to Sungai Petani to buy CNY stuffs... therefore we headed back to Kedah moment later after I'd bought my new camera. We went to the newly-opened Tesco... My mum nagged again for the pricing of the stuffs, as well as the adequancy of the stuffs in the supermarket. But at last, we still bought a lot stuffs from there... 30 big bottles of beverage, and bla bla bla all those CNY stuffs.

Finally, we reached home at approximately 6 in the evening. I was damn exhausting and my brother started to fall asleep once he laid on the sofa.... Anyway, it was a nice family outing and it would be perfect one if there was no "reindeer" to rule our happy mood. (Wondering how the owner's feeling when he/she saw his/her beloved "reindeer" was damaged...) My apology to you la, sorry for my brother's reckless... really sorry, but please be rational next time when you park your car ya... :)

Confession of a Broken Heart

I should have a happy mood by now, since I'd just arrived my hometown yesterday.

But then, something has affected my good mood..

Well,

I'd accidentally dropped my precious digital camera in the bus where I was heading back to Kedah yesteday. I was so so so careless! Just feel bad on myself seriously!

I know I was extremely careless, but I didn't want it to be happened... I also know that such a big size camera, still I could make it lost... Really speechless on myself...

This also indicated that I shoudn't take bags that are more than two at the same time... simply because I would make myself in "kelam kabut" situation...

What to do? Just have to think positively.. Old doesn't go, new won't come... Just bear with it loh...

*sigh* Sad nia...

Change, Changing, Changed

Just got myself done with a brand new hairstyle as well as hair colour. Yup, costed alot and my head skin can be assumed that fully damaged! But then, the final result is quite acceptable. Hehe... you can click my facebook profile to view my latest hairstyle. :)

And talk about today, went to visit my ex-colleagues. Yup, finally I could eat the tomyam noodles again. Well, it has been years I didn't eat for it since I'd left OCBC Bank. As usual the noodles is damn delicious and super duper spicy.

Well, of course.... I felt good to see back my ex-colleagues, regardless CAP-BAU or FPS... It made me happy when I saw so many of them who I used to mix around with back in my working life. The department indeed has changed alot... the financial recession has basically been the main reason behind that. A lot people have been transferred out to other departments and same still remain in this department... but not many.

I feel good that I still could meet back my Settlement gang... at least they are still there. As usual, we like to tease each others... hehe... I felt great also to see Mun Pick mama... since she is just like my another mother, who had been taking care of me last time.

Time really changes a lot things. They said I've changed a lot.. but I felt nothing... instead, I'm still Ong Chin Han. This is a truth~ :)
