Am ready to go to bed now. Spent the half of my day fixing some business related things. The other half day helping XCool on his new project. He is rushing to get it out this weekend and has been working non-stop.

I just want to make some requests from the Universe…

Universe, please maintain XCool’s health and help him to excel in what he is working on.

Thank you, Universe!

Sometimes I feel that I have some psychic power. Well, at least for now, I can foresee myself having the chance to play with an iPad very very soon! (next month?)

Very tiring day. Had a long weekly meeting with my staff trashing out everything under my restaurant’s roof. While we were conducting the meeting, some contractors and suppliers came to fix something new in my shop.

Later that evening, I met up with XCool for dinner and headed to his house to do some work. I had to count the money from my restaurant’s tip-box as the coins are pilling and it’s getting really heavy! While counting, I received this SMS from my fookie friend CheeryDiva. It displayed “So happy!!! Saw d new tv in ur shop”.

Yes! You’ve guessed it! The contractors and suppliers were in my shop earlier today to install a TV and Astro. The Astro has not been activated yet and we taped a sign “Coming Soon!” on the TV screen. How exciting! New addition for our football and MTV fans’ pleasure.

At XCool’s house, he gave me a quick overview on XCode. XCode is the programming language for iPhone apps. Although I told myself that I don’t want to do computer programming anymore last time (other than a little here and there to customize my blog), I think it’s time to pick it up again. *For those of you who don’t know me, I worked as a programmer in mainframe, Business Intelligence (mainly Hyperion) and JavaScript.*

After all, who can be better to learn it from than the best-selling app developer?

Thanks, Universe!

You work fast. Two of the things I’ve asked for in my last post have been answered. Ahh…. Now … thank you in advance for the rest of my request. Thank you!!

I went to a wholesaler complex in KL today. It was quite an interesting trip. I bought facial mask for RM2 each. Hehe.

Watched the movie this afternoon. Although the story has an interesting twist at the end, but I felt that the action scenes were exaggerated. Overall, just okay.

Yup. Today (March 16) was a pretty eventful day. Woke up early to spot check my staff during shop opening. Then, went to Pyramid with XCool. He has a business appointment with his friend so I went shopping and drink-coffee-browse-internet at Starbucks. After he’s done with the meeting was when we decided to catch “From Paris With Love”.

Then he came to my house and fire up our Macs. He taught me some stuff and I try to listened as attentively as possible for a tired soul who had a long day. Went back to my shop to do closing.

It’s 1:52 am now and I can’t sleep yet! I’ve calibrated my Mac and now waiting for it to be fully recharged before shutting it down. Hurry up, Mac! It’s raining outside and this tired soul needs to go to bed.

*No Pressure* Good night.

P/S: To Heng: NO I didn’t add more comments to the post I can afford them. And NO I don’t know how to do that even though I’ve thought about it before.

Time passed so fast today. I can’t believe it’s 2am now. Today was a pretty boring day. XCool was busy perfecting his upcoming best-selling app. So, I went to his house and played around with Pixelmator trying to design something for the new business.

Two nights ago , I sat down and chatted with a famous Malaysian blogger for a good two hours. She is very much younger than me but already very enterprising. Inspiring. I’ve learnt a lot from her. Thinking back the days when I was at her age, I was wasting my time and don’t know what I want in my life. Never too late to change, I guess. This lady has a bright future ahead of her.

I can’t wait for the short trip up north end of this month with XCool. Frankly, we both need a holiday… badly. Yippie! Can’t wait!

Yawn…very tired now. Good night. Yawn. zzzz

Thank you, Universe for giving me a guy who is so lavishly loving and understanding. Thank you!!

“A very merry unbirthday to you…to you”. This tune is ringing in my head. It was from the cartoon Alice in Wonderland by Disney, which I loved to watch when I was young. Last evening, XCool and I caught the new released Alice in Wonderland (in 3D) at TheCurve. It was a fun movie to watch. Bravo, Disney! One thing though, I thought the White Queen looks scary with the black makeup. Tsk tsk. So, where is my Wonderland? I imagine it to be quite different. Hmm…..

Look what I’ve “ninja”-ed from XCool. His iPod Touch.

On Monday night, I went out for dinner with a dear fookie friend. I told her how much free time I have now and that I don’t know what to do with it. I can’t pick up another full time business/work because I still need to spend some time on my shop once in a while. She told me, ” well, get out there and start networking again.” That’s when I realised…oh no! I haven’t been networking!

She’s right. I should. I have been so focused on my business and love life, I’ve stopped networking. Shame on me. Okay. It’s time to get back out there.

Universe, please bring more positive people into my life. Thank you, Universe!

Meanwhile, I found a hobby which I would like to try my hands on. I’ve been reading and watching out for it. ^^

This morning, XCool and I went to SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia) to register another business. We were there early and got what we wanted in about an hour’s time. Yay! A new source of income…how exciting!

Read this post Good Service by Lowie about my shop. I wasn’t aware of her experience and reading it from her blog is quite amusing. I’m happy to hear that my staff lived up to her expectations.

These are a few happy things to jot down for today. Happy weekend ahead!

Done with Payroll and it’s only 3rd of March. I’m (and my staff is) getting better at this. Woo hoo! Yawn …

Dark clouds are cleared too. Thoughts that are ambiguous and bothersome are over. Fights are good for relationships. It’s how you fight that matters. Are your fights optimistic or pessimistic? Do you fight nicely or violently? That makes a big difference and I can feel it. To know the devil is to know God. Or, in layman terms, to know bitterness is to know sweetness. Happy!

Sleepy now… Thank you, Universe! You are the best.

This was such an eventful and tiring day. My hands are itching to blog.

My day started with a coffee and two fishballs. Kept my stomach empty for an important and big CNY meal at our beloved 5F’s house!

She cooked some yummilicious food and the rest of fookies brought some food too. I brought Yee Sang. We ate and laughed. Then, we watched her wedding videos and laughed. Very quickly, 3 hours passed. We didn’t call it a day yet. Instead, we packed some ridiculous funny food (and laughed) to move on to 4F’s house. We went to 4F’s house and continued to laugh. Get the idea? We laughed a lot!

Soon after, XCool and I went back to Subang to have dinner with my family. My baby brother is leaving for UK tomorrow after being here for a good 3 months holiday.

After the dinner, it’s time to shop for a … Mac mini. You see, XCool needed another backup computer now that he is working on his business full time. What’s better than a Mac? Err… well, basically, nothing. We went to Machines store at the nearest shopping mall, Sunway Pyramid, but they ran out of stock! Grrr. After a few calls to ensure availability, we zoomed to Mid Valley’s Machine store. That wasn’t the end of it. They didn’t have the type of cable XCool needed. Grrr. The salesperson made a few calls and told us the cable is available at … Sunway Pyramid! (=.=)’ With my fast great driving skills, we managed to rushed back to Sunway Pyramid in time.

The Mac mini was opened in my house. XCool took pictures of it while unboxing it. (Something he likes to do but I cannot comprehend). The Mac mini is so small, it’s like the size of my home router. It’s just two times thicker. Very cool!

———

I am slacking a little these days. I still remember my goals. In fact, I’ve had a few ideas in my head right now. One of them, I’ll need XCool’s help, which he has already agreed. Yay! Another one needs more research. Will do it after I’m done with payroll next week. Excited.

Universe, please get me connected with more money-making opportunities. Thank you, Universe!

…. from holiday mood.

Last few days had been very relaxing. We put our restaurants thru a “stress test” a.k.a. running by itself. The outcome was obviously good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the chance to use the word “relaxing” in my description.

Yesterday, I was hanging out in XCool house and when I was about to leave, he told me to stay back if I want to 拜天宫. What is that? It is a ritual for Hokkien Chinese to pray to the Heaven Palace on the 9th day of Chinese New Year (at the struck of 12 midnight). This is a ritual my mum’s side of relatives used to practice when I was younger. They are Hokkien Chinese. As we got older, my mum and her relatives gradually stop practising it. It’s nice to revisit. The sky in Klang was lit up with lots and lots of firework. Fireworks are great. They lift our spirits. As I admired them, I made a few more wishes and talked to Universe thru my mind. I’m not greedy, just an opportunist!

Today, I officially went back to my work. Was checking out some Inland Revenue things that I need to fulfill for my shop in the area of Human Resource. So much work to do. The thing that really annoyed me was that they require us to use 3.5 floppy diskettes to send in to Banks to make payment. My goodness. I haven’t used those ancient device since my secondary school days. WTH.
