Spotting Squirrels~
Filed Under me, life | 4 Comments
While walking in my housing area, I always look out for the little, agile little squirrel that move so swiftly that you wonder if you really saw it or is it just a thread of your imagination. But it is there, sometimes.
Once in a while, I could see them scurrying into a bush or drain, ever so quickly. And it never ceases to put a smile on my face. It is so rare to see a squirrel in our country housing area, in a city I mean.
LY, DT, I believe that squirrel brings good luck for my day. Apart from believing in science and google, seems like I do believe in something so absurd too. =)

It’s Coming!!!
Filed Under me, life | 8 Comments
And I feel it sprouting.
Right at the corner, way at the back, thinking that I wouldn’t realise its existence.
But I did.
I felt that it was pushing, shoving its way out, however vaguely.
I couldn’t help but to feel it whenever I am idle, or not.
Trying to see if it is for real this time.
And I am anticipating the pain.
A little excited.
Finally?
Will the wisdom comes with it?
Why else would it be named such a way?
I have sort of been waiting for it.
Though at another corner of my heart, I wish it is just another fraction of my imagination.
It could be bad.
It could ruin my 20 months of effort.
It could cost me another bomb.
But now all I can do is wait..
And welcome it. 
Update : Suspecting of false alarm.. oppps.

Stem Cell
Filed Under stuff3 | Leave a Comment
During lunch yesterday, I heard of so many pregnancy talks from my friends. Some of them are expecting and they are sharing information. We also discuss what would make good gifts for newborn babies and the new parents.
We agreed that although there are many nice gestures from friends and families; but most of the gifts are not practical. Many of them ended up packing them up and gave to other friends who they deem more suitable.
So, what makes good gift? One of the most amazing and practical gift that I can think of is the cord blood banking gift which preserves the baby’s umbilical cord blood from many resources for the use in the future.
From Stem Cell Research News.net, I found out that it may save the child’s life in his or her lifetime as the cord blood can be used to treat over 75 major treat diseases even leukaemia! Imagine what a huge impact it would make to someone’s life. Every year, more than 30000 people are diagnosed with disease which could have been treated with their cord blood stem cells.
Do visit the website to find more information and how it can saves someone life! A wonderful breakthrough technology, isn’t it?

Stark Life
Filed Under me, life | 5 Comments
Yesterday I heard of a tragic news.
A distance acquaintance’s brother committed suicide today; he was barely 19 years old. The surprising thing when I heard of this news was that instead of wondering why people would do such things, I sort of felt that it was things that sometimes people do.
I felt that I somehow could comprehend why this was happening and why people would reach this stage in life to make such decision.
Although I might not know what really was happening in his life for him to end it so abruptly, leaving all the loved ones to grieve over his death and deal with his issues, if any.
I remembered when I was young, suicide did occur to me although it was more to frustration and lack of appreciation and meaning of life (or thinking that I might get the attention that I wanted although it wouldn’t serve much purpose if I am just not breathing..). I don’t know but I always foolishly thought that if I am going to die, I might as well as use up all my money first. At one point I have over eighty bucks which I felt that it was too much to leave it un-spend and die. =.=” (irony, come to think of it now..)
Anyway, the thing is I felt that I started to understand is why people are in certain state of mind or would do things that once I couldn’t understand at all. (It doesn’t mean that I have less sympathy over it but just that I could more readily accept it and in less shock than I once would..)
Have I started to see the reality of life more clearly? Or has the protective, beautiful bubbles in my life burst, leaving me to the stark reality of life?
Well, I guess it’s time to put down my rose tinted glasses and face the life’s true colours..

A break
Filed Under stuff3 | Leave a Comment
I missed the chance for a Wildwood vacations last year and I certainly hope there’ll be a chance for me to do so this year. There’s a cool radio Disney summer concert series held in New Jersey at Morey’s Pier throughout the month of summer. I wish that I could have a chance to attend the free concert and have a relaxing holiday at the New Jersey amusement parks which is located right by the beach!
I could really do a Jersey Shore beach vacation right now; if only I do have the budget and my manager would approve my annual leaves!

Car Parts
Filed Under stuff3 | Leave a Comment
Being in the car repair and service line, my friend knows sometimes it is difficult to get certain auto parts and replacement especially for older car models. Or maybe the car models might have been discontinued and yet there are people who still own the cars. At SwedishPartsNetwork, you can find a wide range of Volvo parts and Saab Parts. They have parts for old models as well, some from year 1961 as well! You can rest assured of their excellent service as well as the quality of their products as they come with full warranty. Do visit their website for more car parts that you are looking for.

SkyTrex at Bukit Cahaya.
Filed Under fun, colleague | 3 Comments
I decided to join my then-new-colleagues to the adventure of SkyTrex in Bukit Cahaya/Taman Pertanian (in Feb, another late post), when I barely joined the company for less than a month; remembering well the fun of team building in Allson Klana Resort, Port Dickson even though the Flying Fox scared the shit out of me.
Not to mention, it is a great way to know my new colleagues better. And also overcome my fear of flying fox. I wasn’t really scared of height, but just the speed of it.
SkyTrex is a jungle trekking from the height of 3 to 22 metres from the ground with different challenges on the ropes. With 23 thrilling challenges (some repeat paths), it could be quite tiring and yet fun.
And I am glad I joined it. A great way for those to overcome their height phobia and trying out something different.
The minimum height is 1.4 metres and takes about 1 to 2 hours or so to complete. Do visit their website for more information & better pictures.

The Big Yellow Moon
Filed Under me, life | 5 Comments
When I was young and foolish, I always walked home with my mother and siblings from our grandmother house.
I thought I made the moon followed me as I walked. The reason was when I looked up at the sky at night while walking, I could see the moon hovering over me even if I have made 10 steps. It was always exactly on top of my head. So yeah, the moon must have followed me.

Her New Home
Filed Under stuffRM | Leave a Comment
The other weekend, CL and I visited Becky’s house as she has just moved in with her boyfriend. They have a little house warming and invited many people on that Sunday night.
They are the second owners of the ten year old house. Although the price was good for a double storey house, but as it was quite old, much money was spent on renovation! They have spent quite a bomb on renovating part of the house and they are more to go!
I had the pleasure of going into every rooms and admiring the work that they have done so far. As usual, I love to peep into the washroom. To me, a comfortable and nice washroom is a must as we spent private time in them even though most people think least for the room.
To my delight, they have what I always wanted to have in my own bathroom in the future; a nice bathroom wardrobe, separate shower space, bright lightning and big, clear mirror.
According to her, most of her ideas and the bathroom furniture & accessories are from BetterBathrooms.com. There have everything that you ever wish for in your bathrooms. Now they are having stock clearance and you can get up to 55% off recommended retail price!
A simply beautiful house, but just a little pricey for me!

Sungai Lembing 2!
Filed Under holiday, weekend | 8 Comments
I thought I would never visit the small town of Sungai Lembing again in my lifetime after my first trip in July 08. But I did it again in early March 09 (apparently this post is two months late :p)
Sungai Lembing is a very hot town with small group of population, mainly the elderly and children. It is located about half an hour drive from Kuantan.
There is nothing much there in the town except for the main attraction, the Rainbow Waterfall (if you manage to survive an hour of jungle trekking with leeches and 2 hours of damn-bumpy-lorry ride under the scorching sun.) Which I gladly passed this time round. =)
There is also a small hill where you can see beautiful sunrise after trekking for about 30 to 45 min (depending on your stamina and speed). I suppose during this 2nd trip, I saw the first sunrise for the first time (with my failing memory, this feels like the first time though) after waking up at 4.30am in the morning! =.=” (so much for a relaxing trip).
And also the Crystal house, with all the marvellous collection of crystal by an old man when he was mining during his younger years. Not to mentioned the Gua Charas, with many stairs and a big cave which is quite windy.
For food, you can get quite nice kolo-mee (dry noodles) with their famous cham-peng (iced coffee + tea) in the morning market foodcourt and economy tomato meehoon for lunch at their coffee shop. Everything is cheap. Not to forget the famous juicy siu yuk (roasted pork) that is suppose to be the best (in the country?)
You can find cheap accommodation in the area as more and more guest house sprouting due to the increasing number of tourist to the small town.
I think I’ll restraint myself from saying that I would never be there for the third time!
