Correction on my post “New Addition“. XCode is the Intergrated Development Environment for iPhone programming. Not the programming language. The programming language used is called Objective C.

Yes. He read my blog and quickly highlighted my mistake. Ish!

Holiday tomorrow!!!

Just got home from a super long and fun day. Woke up early in the morning to do a spot check on my staff. Very soon, XCool picked me up and we drove all the way to KL city center.

I gave a surprise lunch visit for my UOB ex-colleagues. Oh, how I miss them! Jolly good time catching up. There were more than 10 of them!

After lunch, we sent the Nintendo Wii Console XCool bought for me to be repaired in one of the gaming shops around that area. (Yay! Will get to play Wii again very very soon! ). Then, XCool and I continued our day in The Gardens Midvalley. He needed to attend a business meeting at 6pm so we hung out in Borders Starbucks to pass our time. Midway, I sneaked out to shop and got myself a new top. ^^

At 6pm, we met up with his business associates. After the meeting, we decided to catch “Up In The Air” in The Gardens Signature Cinema. The last time we went there was during one of our earliest dates. I forgot how comfortable the couch-like seats are. The cinema is really cold though. Note to self: Bring cardigan/pashmina when revisiting this cinema.

Thank you, Universe, for the wonderful day! Also, thank you again for honoring my request. I can see that the opportunities are continuous and fruitful.

Yay! such a noob in using sophisticated software like Pixelmator. I ended up using Keynote, Preview and Pixelmator to get what I want. Haha. Hey… it works. That’s all that matters.

“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 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!

It’s the holiday season and that means lots of love spreading around everywhere. This Valentine’s Day, I wasn’t able to spend it with my new love because it coincided with Chinese New Year. Anyway, that didn’t stop us from celebrating love.


XCool likes to send me flowers. This is a shot few months back.





Really like the bouquet design.


Today, he sent another bouquet to make up for not being able to celebrate Valentine’s Day (and also to celebrate his last day in rat race). It was supposed to be a surprise which turned out to be a disaster. I went out early in the morning when the flower arrived at my doorstep. They tried to contact me but my phone was out of network for hours. Quite a bit of drama. Phiew!


Feeling bored at home after he left, I decided to camwhore (using Phone Booth application on my Mac).














Girls love romance. Deal with it, ok?

That’s what Chinese New Year is all about. 15 days of feasting. Chinese has a saying “it is a fortune to be able to eat”. It’s only the third day of Chinese New Year and I’ve stuffed many food into my mouth. Look at the spread for steamboat dinner of 9 pax at my house two nights ago…

Tsk tsk.

Thank goodness I am half vegetarian. That helped me to control my diet to a certain extent.

My shop’s business is doing extremely well since reopening after one day’s rest. I’m doing a stress test for my staff to see if they can handle everything by themselves. So far so good. My sister and I haven’t been going to our shop for four days.

Roar…. roar!

I just got back from my family reunion dinner not long ago. This year’s Chinese New Year celebration is very different. This is the first time I’m celebrating the festival in Kuala Lumpur. My relatives from Johor and Singapore will be coming up north to join us. Tonight, my reunion dinner was with relatives from my mum’s side. Caught up with my aunties, uncles, cousins and nephews. I’m so full now…. Being a half-vegetarian sure helped me in watching my diet. Tee hee hee….hiccup!

So, what are the differences between CNY in Johor and KL?

1. They sky in Johor will be filed with colorful fireworks for hours pass midnight. They will be a few families lighting firecrackers (against country’s law prohibiting them to do so). In KL, it’s so quiet.

2. Less food in KL. In Johor, we’ll be munching all the way. (my siblings agreed with me on this). Such a bunch of gluttons…tsk tsk

3. Less CNY TV programs in KL. If we’re in Johor, we’ll be tuning in to Singapore’s Channel 8.

In conclusion, CNY in Johor is much better than in KL. There’s just more excitement. CNY without firecrackers made one feel like a big part of the festival is missing.

Regardless, I have a feeling this year will be just as awesome as the previous ones. My shop’s sales was VERY good today. It was unexpected. This is a good sign. Ho ho ho! Opps… wrong sound effect. It should be …. Huattt ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I was driving when this song was played on a regular English radio station. It’s Chinese New Year!!!

May the Tiger year brings roaring success, great health, good prosperity and continuous happiness!

Such a hectic day. Went to LHDN (Malaysia’s Inland Revenue Board) to settle some tax issues. It was as though the place was having a family day. The whole place was packed with people. Then I realised today is the 10th of Feb and these people are rushing to make tax payments.

After that, I went to pick up my half-handicapped bf and hurried to MidValley. We spent whole afternoon doing our last-minute CNY clothes shopping. Took a break and caught Black Ransom in the cinema. The show has nothing to shout about. I fell asleep for fifteen minutes. We continued with clothes shopping and dinner.

Finally, I’ve got all my new clothes!!! Just need to get a pair of new shoes or two.

Thank you, dear, for the shopping spree!
