All because of $$$$

Money can buy you a lot of things but it can also harm you.
Families are split because fighting over money. Mother and son can severe all ties, brothers and sisters can quarrel and husband & wife can divorce over money woes too....

Advice given by marriage councellors are true, couples should really do family planning and money planning. Any party in trouble should share the trouble out.
Not wait till something big explodes then it will be too late to salvage.

Even though all is done...but there will still be a shadow lingering over...
Depressing... always the one to give in and taken for granted. Does anyone really appreciate what I do???

An Affair to Malacca

5 July.... I arranged a secret rendezvous to Malacca...
On the surface its an official business trip but.................................. it was in fact a rendezvous with 2 of my darlings, Win & Ju....
You must be imagining...wah...so daring ah...go on rendezvous and further more with 2 leh!
How to cope rite?

Hiak hiak.... Don't you know I am the super Maria? Multi-task is what I am BEST at!

So what did we do? Aiyooo...weather was hot even though it rained on the way to Malacca.
My official business took only 30 min..and I'm done..so rendezvous began!! so happy!!!
Our first stop.... Jonka Street.... Meet up with Mr Assam Laksa and Ms Chendol..
Wah....Ms Chendol's Gula Melaka was sooooooo fragrant and SEDAP! never have i seen the gula melaka so thick... its like gravy man!



After the "meeting".. the 3 of us strolled along the street...
I really like quaint shop houses ...its like the olden Chinatown in Singapore.
road is very narrow...and shop houses are so old....I don't think you can find any of these in Singapore.

Enough of walking..the weather was killing us...so HOT!!
so we decided to retreat back to the hotel and air con! took a nap...
cos we had another round in the evening... Mdm Perankan.

heehee...guess wat we had when we went to Mdm Perankan?
Look at it... we ordered I think 6 or 7 dishes, one soup and ONE Plate of rice.. that plate is to be shared among the 3 of us...hahaha...
but we still managed to finish the dishes...
all of them were very yummy... the assam fish , mango salad...chye poh egg omelette , etc.

Wah seh... by the nite time...my tummy abt the burst liao..
even the walk back to the hotel did not help..
I guess that is the punishment of being too greedy.... :(
Nevertheless, I am not upset abt it... This is my long awaited trip..
since Win & Ju have been yak yaking abt Malacca all these while..

The only disappointment is that i didnt manage to go to the fruit farm and eat my durians! :(

Never mind, there is still a nxt trip..haha...

Penang Redenvours

On 7th June, I set out to a long waited journey to the food of paradise.... PENANG!!

I have been hearing all sorts of who-ha on all the yummy food in Penang and Ipoh.. At last..I can make a trip down there and eat till my stomach burst. heehee...
The glutton in me at work again... ;p

Well, this is supposed to be a eating cum biz trip as I was supposed to be there for equipment inspection.

Okay..here comes the itinerary...

Day 1 - Woke up @ 445am to get ready to go to the airport. Damn sleepy siah...I was yawning and yawning away...cannot cannot...must wake up!! This is the beginning of my Journey to the Makan!
Airport was quite crowded, I guess shld be cos its sch holidays...so lots of ppl travelling..
Anyway, I got through the customs and stuff..time to board the plane..
I was so hungry...my stomach was growling along the flight. Some light snack was served but I decided to save my stomach for the Penang Char Kway Teow! Kekeke...

So when we arrive @ the Penang G Hotel... this is very near to the famous Gurney Drive...just beside it there is one hawker center. The rooms were not ready yet so we went to settle our lunch..We went to the shopping mall beside our hotel to settle for the food court.
Time is 11am and the food court is not ready yet~
Can u imagine..Sgp's foodcourt starts operations @ 10am.
Anyway, the food there is nice..I ate my first plate of Char Kway Teow...
Take note.."First " plate hor..

Heehee..Okay....filled my stomach..now is time to work..
We had arrangements to have dinner with one of the ex-collegs..whom coincidence is my ex-boss.

He brought to the local local hawker center. Just imagine the 70s or 80s singapore hawker centers by the roadside...
First course....Lok Lok...yum..the practice is you eat and move along...so we had some sticks of lok lok..then moved on to the Main course of the nite... Char Kway Teow, Wanton Mee, Stingray & Cheng Teng...
All are Yummy!!
Then we tabaoed some nonya kuehs back.. I was so full but when I saw the nonya kuehs..i cannot resist my temptation... ;pp

Morning breakfast..we went for Bak Ku Teh.. Imagine so early morning eat BKT.. but it was nice..different flavour from Sgp and KL.. Look at the pictures..I really couldnt eat..but die die have to try abit...

After gorging myself silly from last nite...I went for a swim..to kill off my guilt last nite and prepare myself for the Penang Laksa as promised by SJ... hiak hiak..

Our last stop..b4 heading off to the airport is Penang Laksa!!
It was nice...sour and small portion with lots of vege!! My boss loved it sooooo much..
but not SJ..cos he is a meat person..
we had Penang Rojak too..but it was so so...What I like is the "Hay Kor" It is sooo thick..
not like here where they add assam...there is the original..right out from the jar..

Wait wait....still got the Highlight of the trip....DURIAN!!!
Wah seh!! this is the best I have eaten....
Sitting under the tree and eating fresh durians...
Sedap!!!

Okie...Here is the end of my makan trip... Its a short but very satisfying trip..
Still got more stuff which i have not covered...waiting for me the nxt round.. :-)

Moving House

Having been working @ Suntec for 3 years,I have grown attached to this place.
Even though it is a long way to work for me everyday but I still like the convenience of this place.
Food and amenities are just a stone's throw away. The most important thing is....my GG5!!!

Thinking of not able to go shopping everyday or have the accessibility of supermkt, food court, karaoke, gym...u name it , Suntec has it. I used to take granted of all these but until we learned 2 weeks ago that we have to move to a ULU PANDAN place @ Tanjong Pagar... I suddenly find that Suntec is so good!

We went to rackie the new office last wednesday...OMG!!! Its so PATHETIC!!

1) NO VIEW
2) NO SHELTER FROM MRT + ITS NOT 5 MIN WALK FROM THE MRT STATION
(stupid CEO or HR must be flying when they said only 5 min walk away!!)
3) NO FOOD EXCEPT A WOK EXPRESS DOWNSTAIRS
4) NIGERIA HIGH COMMISSION IN THE SAME BUILDING.
(not that I am discriminating, but there will be lots of "unknown" ppl walking ard...

The lists goes on.... thinking of the office really depresses me... sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
How I wish we dont have to move....
What am I going to do when Sept comes..... HELP me!!!
We are going to be abandoned in a deserted island!! -.-

Our Secret Mission

Winnie & I had a secret mission... We went to JB to have our makeover photo shoot.
We took a bus from Woodlands Interchange to get to JB. Actually it is quite fast ...I think even faster than going by car. The troublesome part is to get on and off the bus when you reach the customs.

Once we reach JB, its MAKAN TIME!! haha... wah seh...look at the wanton mee....
Delicious rite? The noodles are so Q and serving just nice....look at the price...RM$3.00 ONLY!!
S$1.40!! DIRT CHEAP rite?!



Ok..aft the delicious breakfast...its on to the photo shoot. We had to choose 5 outfits...
We chose 2 wedding gowns, one evening , one Jap and I chose one traditional cheong sum.

The make up took q a long time...the makeup artist took a long time trying to put on the false lashes and do up double eyelids for me.
but I really looked different...finally can see my EYES!! ;)
but its very uncomfortable lor..

Photo shoots really not easy lor...Initial part q difficult..need to warm up so that I can start smiling like an idiot. heehee...


I didnt know the photos will turned out q well even though the poses that the photographer asked me to do were quite normal and boring.

Wah...we were super hungry half way through the photoshoot. Cos we didnt have time to go for lunch. We finished around 5pm and were super "urgent" and starving.

Guess what we had...heehee...yummy...
Maggi Mee Goreng, Chapati & Roti Prata!!
All for the price of RM$7!!

Miracle of Life

Have you ever wonder how God created people?
It is really a miracle how something so small can grow in 10 months to be a human being...

Look at the scanning....this little fellow is only 6 weeks old...you can't even see anything! But there is a heart beat... Its so sweet to see the heart beating... thump thump thump thump
Mother nature is so amazing...

Having a baby is a big responsibility. Both parties need to be mentally and physically prepared
Being a mother is not easy.... especially the initial part of the pregnancy. The mummy will be very tired in addition to the morning sickness..sometimes the sickness stays for the whole day!
I don't think you want to imagine the labour pain. Although the experience is a short one..but it is enough... may not have the experience in future....


In life, you cannot always get what you want. Sometimes due to some circumstances, you may have to forgo the thing that you have been praying for all these while. Perhaps God decide that the appearance and disappearance of this little fellow is to signify something. But why to me?
Because of one mistake, you have to suffer the guilt and remorse for the rest of your life.

This is one lesson that I will always remember...a very painful one too....

To beloved Jayden.....

Xiao Mei is that You??

A new start to a new year... See what I have done?
I cut the hair which I had for more than 5 years!


I didn't take a photo after my haircut ..this is one after I have done the corporate makeover.
Do I look like an Insurance Agent or Property agent? hahaha....
But at least better than one of my colleagues... The end result of his photo looks like those "chee kor peks" Another of my colleagues look like a big Tao Gey! Got the boss look, with his hair styled in the curry puff way.

I remember the last time I had such short hair, it was during my secondary school days.
I caused a commotion when I went back to the office after the hair cut.
hahaha...cos ppl were surprised to see me in short hair..but they liked my new hair style. ;)

Some colleagues were walking over to look at my hair. Wow...I felt like a super star that day...heehee...parading around and showing off my new hair style.

So far feedback was good...even my ah lao when he saw my hair after he came back from his detachment! Its a rare thing that he will comment something nice. His usual comments will be " Ok lar , So - so , not nice"

Let's see if I will go for a more funkier look towards the end of the year..... to be cont'd ;p
