Long vacation

Latest updates:

It's been a long sickie month. I wasn't been healthy for the whole month. Thank you for those who have been sending me regards and praying for me. For those who came visit me I'm really touched and endless thank you for all of you.

I'm getting better now. I'm taking things slow now. No more hectic life for the moment. It's slow and easy for now. When I was sick I was still thinking of work. Doctor told me to forget bout everything and dont stress myself. Boy, he was right. How to get better when all you can think bout is work, work and work. It's like your body doesnt wanna corporate and you still wanna force it. Not a good idea.

End of updates.



Here is a funny joke I got from my email. The title of the email was 'Don't Tempt Women'

A woman goes to Italy to attend a 2-week, company training session. Her husband drives her to the airport and wishes her to have a good trip.

The wife answers, "Thank you honey, what would you like me to bring for you?"

The husband laughs and says, "An Italian girl!"

The woman kept quiet and left.

Two weeks later he picks her up in the airport and asks, "So, honey, how was the trip?"

"Very good, thank you."

"And, what happened to my present?"

"Which present?" she asked.

"The one I asked for - an Italian girl!"

"Oh, that," she said, "Well, I did what I could, now we have to wait for nine months to see if it is a girl!"

Moral of the story: Don't tempt a woman, they are far too intelligent


So guys, be careful now. ;p


Oh yeah, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to those who are celebrating and happy holidays for those who are not celebrating :D

Cheers!

Marketing anyone?

I got this from a forward email...

A Professor was explaining marketing concepts to the Students:-

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: I am very rich. Marry me! - That's Direct Marketing

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: He's very rich. Marry him. - That's Advertising

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me. - That's Telemarketing

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me? - That's Public Relations

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: You are very rich! Can you marry me? - That's Brand Recognition

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: I am very rich. Marry me! She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - That's Customer Feedback

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: I am very rich. Marry me! And she introduces you to her husband. - That's demand and supply gap

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: I'm rich. Will you marry me? and she goes with him
- That's competition eating into your market share

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: I'm rich, Marry me! Your wife arrives. - That's restriction for entering new markets


and now, you know... ;p

total shut down

NOTE: THIS POST WAS WRITTEN ON MONDAY ( TODAY IS ALREADY FRIDAY )

I'm NOT talking bout shutting the blog down, what i meant was me getting sick and I can't even enjoy my holiday today (yupe, it's a public holiday today.. it's Sabah state TYT bday). I've been grounded at home. NO MORE activities at the moment. I'm officially grounded today.. yay~ NOT! But I think getting some rest at home is good for me. I can finally BLOG! ;-)

There are lots of pics I've shot BUT I don't think I can post every single pics here. Oh and, the latest news is I've got myself a NEW job now. Like my previous job, it's something related to advertisement. *Grin* I'm only 1 month plus in my new job and I'm already sick. Geez.. Overwork? I guess soo.. I think it's not ONLY my job contribute to me being sick. There are other factors as well, like, NOT enough sleep and MAJOR rest.

For those who have been coming back visiting my blog, I'm very thankful for you guys.. There wasn't much post.. OKAY.. NO post at all. I hope to blog more, there lots more to share to everyone.

blogthings anyone?

I was blog hopping, saw someone was doing this. So I tried it was as well.

You Belong in New York City

You're the energetic, ambitious type. And only NYC is fast enough for you. Maybe you'll set yourself up with a killer career Or simply take in all the city has to offer.

What City Do You Belong In?

Then I saw this: Living To 100 Life Expectancy Calculator. If you would like to calculate ( dunno how true izzit la ) This was MY result.

71 was the result!

Looks like I'm gonna die in early age if I stick with the life style I'm having now. I guess ( true or not true the result is ) I'm going make some changes; More exercise and balance diet to start with maybe?

hello?

It's been awhile I've wrote something in this blog. i know 'Bangas' suda this blog.

Here is something for you guys to play around first before I really blog something. Enjoy~

THE BIG RED BUTTON
Does it ever end?

Bikin panas rite? ;p

SAWO: Project Kg. Kiau ( Part 2 )

Note: A continuation of this post

SAWO: PROJECT KG. KIAU

After driving uphill and downhill for nearly 30 mins we finally reah Kg. Kiau! During the ride, we saw hillside padi plants and some pineapple field.

Making our way up to Kg. Kiau

Hillside padi plants
( opss, sorry for the reflection from the mirror )

Pineapple field

We also passed by the ONLY school in Kg. Kiau ( forgotten what's the school's name ) Btw, it's a primary school. Those who wants to go to the nearest secondary school will be in Kota Belud. That will be in another town.

The wooden primary school

When we reach there, we were greeted by local women, young and old. Actually we were behind schedule. In another word, we were LATE! We start off with some introduction from SAWO, telling them our objectives visiting them on that day. We taught them to use the video camera. Why you ask? Coz we believe in using other method to reach out and do presentation. Rather than giving 2 hours lousy sleepy speech, we use multimedia and theater to reach out. It makes the audience more interactive and attentive ( it rhymes!)

Here are some of the activities conducted that day.

Draw time line!

This is one of the group doing the time line.

We also did the time line

Presentation from one of the group. Actually they were supposed to act out the time line, but this group decided to present it only, BORING!

In my group's acting, I was acting the drunken hubby that hits his wife! Hehe.. Evil!


Here is some random pic I took, it's a butterfly on the door. Almost didn't see it coz the color is almost camouflage.

We stop the workshop around 12.30pm for lunch. Resumes after an hour. The second half of the workshop was to do a 15mins video filming, which the participants need to product. Sorry no pics were taken after the lunch, I totally forgotten to take any pics.


Pic taken from car

On our way out from Kg. Kiau, there was a car could not climb up the hill. Everybody need to get down from the car. So cham! Luckily the car I was in didn't experience such problem. :p

Poor them, need to hike up.

Buh-bye Kg. Kiau!
Will see you again in the future!

Anjappar anyone?

Advertorial:

Bringing You the Taste of India!

Having a crave for spicy food and would love to dine in a nice and cozy environment without burning a hole in your pocket?

Check out Anjappar Chettinad Restaurant! They are Located in Asia City Complex ( Just across Api Api Centre, you can't miss them coz they got an interesting entrance with 2 HUGE elephant tusks!! ) They serve a prettty delicious Mango Lasi! Serious!

For those who can't take spice food ( like muah! ) also can ask them to tune down the spice level! ( like muah again!! LoL! ) Some of their signature food are the Biriyani, Naan, Banana leaf meals and lots moreeeee...


Oh btw, they also do take away and catering as well.. Check out a write up on their restaurant on our local newspaper.

hands-free umbrella anyone?

Note: I got this from a friend's forward email. This is dedicated to those who dread to hold umbrella or hands are always too occupied to hold umbrella.

Behold the hands-free umbrella!!!




This is no ordinary umbrella.

Instead of hold it, you need to put on it.




How?




Easy.



You wear it like this!






Front view





Side view





Back view



So, this is how it would looked like on you.
You'll be wearing your umbrella, instead of holding it.


If you think it's only for adults, well, there are hands-free umbrella for kiddo's as well!

Cute can!

new look!

Out with the OLD, in with the NEW!

Well, I've finally decided to CHANGE my hairstyle.

From this..

.... to this

Big difference huh?

Note: Sometimes I still miss my curls though..

SAWO: Project Kg. Kiau ( Part 1 )

SAWO: PROJECT KG. KIAU

Note: This is another super duper late post. Yes, I know, late AGAIN! Well, it's better to be late than post nothing rite?



On the 1st May 2007 (Labour Day), me and the SAWO team went to Kg. Kiau to conduct a workshop to promote awareness about women's issue besides doing some documentary for this coming June's Fiesta Feminista. For those who dunno what is SAWO ( Sabah Women Action Resource Group ), it's started in 1985 by a group of concerned women and men to take up mainly issues of violence and discrimination against women particularly in Sabah. So it's NOT those group ONLY mommy mommy saja yang join tau! Men can join as well, no need to shy shy okay.

The workshop starts at 8am, so we need to get there by 7.30am. So I woke up at 4.15am. Really sacrifice my sleeping time for this trip can! I didn't want to drive there using my car so I hitch hike Agnes's ride. I arrived at her place 10 mins to 6am. Bloody early!!!!!!

Shoots taken from my car. It's was 5 something in the morning!!! MY GOODNESS!!!!

Here are some pics taken during the ride to Kg. Kiau.

It was bright and sunny day! ;-)

When we got to the mountain area, there were thick mist. Hardly can see the road in front!




More pics taken from the car, sorry that the car side window was kinda dirty ;p




Saw the majestic Mt. K as well.


Sempat lagi take a pic of myself at the backseat.



We managed to arrive Pekan Nabalu around 7++am. The team are supposed to meet up at this spot. Agnes thought we were late but actually we were the 1st car to arrive. Malaysia time bah, people always come late one.



We had breakfast here while waiting for the rest of the team.




After breakfast, I went to check out the stalls selling local handicrafts.




Some pics taken from the stalls:
















They have stalls selling fruits as well.





Some local products as well, fyi those are honey.



I decided to walk to the other part of the pekan.





After shooting this tower, I got stung by a bee!!!!!!!
I asked one of the old lady at the stall for bee medicine and they actually pointed and show me where to get the medicine. They ask me get "Minyak Batu", that was the 1st time I heard such medicine.


Red and swollen area.
I'm so LUCKY, like that also kena stung!!!!!



It was getting late and we continue the journey, actually all of the SAWO team has arrived. They were looking for me actually coz I had wonder off to shoot some pics. The thing is they didn't know I was looking for the bee medicine. BAH!!


After less than 10 mins of driving, we finally saw the junction to Kg. Kiau! The road to the Kiau is bit challenging coz it's gravel and some part of the road is VERY steep. Don't play play hor!


Alrite, end of part one. Will continue later!
