<![CDATA[little-fairy-land - TextMalaysia, Happy New Year 2006~~ - Free Blog by TextMalaysia.com]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: One-day-Job]]> Lion & me went back to Kluang for 3N2D to celebrate for my mum's & newphew's birthday. Guess what, we were also luncy enough to get our passport done on 30/Apr.

We both are extremely impressed by the new system of producing a new passport. It was done in 3 hours and we do not need to take another day off for the collection which the government really deserves 2 thumbs up for the efficiency.

In addition, you can also see some banners hang in the office & some tags worn by the officers which promote "Servis dengan Senyuman Program". This is also a good news as those officers are looking more friendly & helpful when you approach them. Guess what, you can even get the service evaluation form from the counter if you are interested in giving feedback to their service.

If you are planning to renew/make a passport, here is a checklist which might be useful:-

1. Immigration office opens at 8am. As to ensure you can get the passport done on the same day, pls wake up earlier in order to get a good number for the queue. (Sharing: If you are in a hurry, even you are able to get a good number for the queue, pls remember to ask whether they are able to complete your application on the same day before you pay for it.)

2.Two pieces of passport size photos and both of the photos should be in the same pattern. (Sharing: We didn't really prepare for the photos when we went to the immigration. I was lucky enough to dig out 2 pieces photos from my purse, whilst Lion was forced to spend RM12 to take some new photos for the passport. The photo background HAS TO BE in blue.)

3. One piece of photostated IC with front & back view.

4. Application is only acceptable if you have an valid address in that state which you apply for the passport. (Sharing: Since we settle down in Penang, we put Penang address in the application form initially. However, we were told by the officer that we have to put Kluang address as the application is made in Kluang branch. Luckily, I can still remember my hometown address.)

5. Most importantly, pls bring RM300 if you are planning to make a 32-pages passport.

This is one of the improvement that I have personally experienced in this country. I do look forward to seeing more to come :O)
Malaysia, pls prove to me that you are really BOLEH!





]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: 2nd Day of CNY]]> This is my 1st time spending CNY in Penang with my hubby & in-laws family.
It is the 2nd day of Boar Lunar Month, I went for a show with Lion at Queensbay Mall (QBM).
I was planning to watch "Music & Lyrics" (although I'm not sure of whhether it's gonna be a nice show) but due to the show time will be a lil bit late, we chose to watch a HongKee 18PL show "Protege" instead.

Due to It is our 1st time having movie at GSC QBM, we can hardly find the "hidden" cinema. After 10-15mins of queueing, we got the "Protege" ticket for 2. I am surprised to hear that ticketing lady emphasized on "This show is strictly for ppl who are 18 & above". Did she mean I am still looking like a teenage-age lil gal? haha..

On the other hand, it's quite funny to hear the cinema announcer to remind the audience not to bring any recording devices. In order to strengthen the rule, GSC has assigned security guards to check all guests' handbag or backpack at the cinema entrance as to ensure there is no one break the rule.

Meaning of Protege:
Mentorship refers to a developmental relationship between a more experienced mentor and a less experienced partner referred to as a mentee or protégé.


Scene that worthy to see:
1. The elderly look of Andy Lau. This makes me really curious of whether this international idol has started to grow grey hair in his real life? Anyway, he is still looking smart & charming with his drug lord character in the show. In addition, you can also see Andy speak Mai-Long-Song-Zai in the show.

2. Daniel Wu who shows-off his nicely bulit muscle as usual in the show.

3. Louis Koo is the one who really surprises me with his yellowish bad teeth. I can't believe he has sacrificed his hadnsome look to cater for this drug addict character. He's really cool.

4. Another guest in the show is Anita Yuen. I can't remember when was my last time seeing her acting. Was she really pregnant during acting this show? She really looks like 100% housewife in the show. More flesh she has gained during these years.


]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: New Deco]]> IKEA is always our favourite place when we visit to KL.
It's been a year plus since we moved in to our apartment.
We have bought some deco stuff from IKEA during the trip we went to Ikan's wedding.

I always feel our dining area is too empty & blank as we have a clean wall without any decoration. We have added a wooden white rack + some mirrors + a pair of lacey white curtains to decorate our dining area. I think if we can put some dim yellowish spot lights underneath the white wooden rack, it will be more romantic.



Sorry about the messy dining table :p

The other thing that we bought are 2 metal boards which we had put on our study room wall. It'll be used as a message board. We will stick all imporatant notes on the boards.


Well.. now planning to get some furniture for the guest room.
Hopefully can get the guest room furnished by the time we get married. :o)
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Dear Jackpot Santa]]>


Dear Jackpot Santa,
Thanks for paying us a visit on 27/Mar/2006 and you had done a good job by giving us a big surprise.

I thought Santa will only work on Christmas eve and some handworking ones might work during Xmas week, I didn't expect that we received your early Xmas visit in March 2006 instead of December 2006.

I don't know where is your office address, and I don't know how to email or write in a letter to a Bangla Jackpot Santa, so I decided to send in my warmest regards here and hope you will read it someday in your cursing life:-

Without your vist, I wouldn't know how Santa broke in ppl house.

Without your viist, I wouldn't take Emergency Leave which will also affect my next year bonus matrix.

Without your visit, my [wedding rings] wouldn't have an early chance to be worn on ppl fingers. [To my ex-wedding-rings: Take good care of yourselves and make sure you bring the most cursing wish to the Jackpot Santa]

Without your visit, achew wouldn't have chance to stop DOTA-ing for few days.

Without your visit, achew wouldn't have chance to look for his next Nikon camera.

Without your visit, I would not have chance to dispose off my old laptop and PDA.

Without your visit, we wouldn't have chance to zzz in 4am on 28/Mar.

Thanks for not messing up my house when you were searching for your targets.

Thanks for spoiling my door lock, without you, we wouldn't have an excuse to change the lock.

Oh, my "Hendrix-Cursing" Bonggol Bangla Jackpot Santa, I thought Santa's mission is to bring happiness to ppl. I think your were in a hurry when you came to my house and made you forgot to leave some gifts to us and I will feedback to B.B.S.A.I. online [Bonggol Bangla Santa Association Internaltional] and hopefully they will improve their Bangla Santa service level next time. Another thing is, the muddy shopping bag that you left in my study room, I guess you will not need it anymore as you've already mistaken achew RM300 Lowepro camera bag in your last visit. However, we gave it to the CSI and begged them to try their best to return this shopping bag to you in the court.

Thank you with cursing regards,
Dan

Guess what, "Customer Service Excutive" can earn up to RM3000 - RM3700 in Penang.
Wow.. should I let my boss know this in the next 1:1 review session?? Are we under-paid in here?

]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Screw the Amos "Cookies"...]]> Wholly Sh*t!

Before I went home this evening, I had done a wrong choice by answering a stupid call. Who does he think he is and why the heck he can't talk in a nicer manner when asking ppl for a favour?

Yelling over the phone :"Hey, I dun care, just gimme the solution by tomorrow morning!!" Some more, without a reasonbale second thought, even instructed me :"Hey, I dun care how late you work, since they are in U.S., then you might as well stay back tonight to have conference call with them la!!"

Guess what he did next? After 5 mins barking at me like a stray dog, that Bangla from Ponggol even gave a call to my manager & shouting at her, saying that if no solution by next morning, he will escalate the whole thing to our Director...
Come la, Ponggol Bangla... I dun scare of you at all.. ask your whole gang of members to come la.. I will ask my Tutu & Hendrix to standby any time ... come la... $*@&$&%#*&$
Screw you, crazy Bangla!
Do you know any "AMOS" at your working place?
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Langkawi Trip in Feb'2006]]> Me & my gal mates went to Langkawi on 18/Feb & 19/Feb.
In fact, due to we work in same dept, chances for us to take leaves & travelling together is very low. That's why we purposely opt for weekends to go there.

We did not book the hotel before we went, so can't really find a vacant room which is located at the seaside. The place that we stay is called "Sandy Beach Resort", not a very nice place but quite cheap. It costs only RM77/room for 3 ppl to share and it is inclusive 3 breakfast in this package price.


This is the outside view of that little "hotel" that we rented.




Breakfast at "Sandy Beach Resort"


Ppl busy picking sea shells from the beach.
I would love to try this next time. It is built on tree top. The hotel is called "Malibest"


We went to Langkawi aquarium (RM28 for entry fee), Mahsuri Tomb, Beach, some duty free shops, Anna & the King musuem...

Initially I was suggesting to have some drinks on first nite, so I bought some beer, who knows everyone were too tired & straight away zzzzzzzz after reaching the resort at night. So, I have to bring those drinks back to PG.


This is new to me.... Red Wine in Canned.




And I bought this for Tutu.. as he loves cats..

]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Plan to go Hatyai in April]]> We have a lot of funs at our work place recently.

]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: New Living Room Air Con]]>
We bought it last Saturday, at SenQ at Gurney Plaza 7th floor, by using FatKat's member card :p


Before the contractor came, we moved away the stuff in the living room, and covered all the stuff with newspaper to protect them from getting dusty.


Before .....





Where did sofa go ? Sofa has been moves to dining area ......




After ....
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Bearlentine]]> We had our early celebration for Valentine's Day at Seoul Garden Gurney Plaza. We were initially planning to have Japanese buffet but somehow our favourite restaurant has already closed down [the Rasa Sayang Hotel Japanese restaurant], we changed our mind to have BBQ buffet instead.








Yummy Yummy & not too expensive :)

I thought that will be the end of my Valentine's Day celebration, who knows Achew gave me a small surprise on last night by putting a tissue holder on my table in the bedroom. I think this present is more realistic & useful, as I always get runnig nose in the middle of the night & could not find tissue box for mucus. Here I have no worry anymore :)









HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO MY DARLING ~~ I LOVE YOU~~ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^

]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Kutu killer]]> Our recent hobby is to go down to our apartment carpark & feed those 2 kittens at our parking lot.



I think they start to recognize our voice & get used of our friendliness. But one thing which I don't really like them is they will hiss us away when we try to touch them.

We also bought some doggie snacks for Johnny White. He is a white dog with some light brown patches on his body. I like him coz he is extreme friendly to everyone. We tried to feed him with those newly bought doggie snacks but he does not quite like it. He seems to prefer cat food that we bought for those 2 kittens.



As a stray dog, he has quite some small kutu over his skinny body. I dare not catch for him but Tutu did it for us :) He is our Kutu killer master :)

We saw Johnny's dog license was expired since 2004. We planned to get him a new plate soon as we do not want to see him shot by MPPP. Hey, Johnny, you will get your renewed license soon :)


]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: CNY Shopping]]> I have not done shopping for my clothings for quite a long time already.

]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Malaysia Budget Airlines..]]> I am a Johorian who stay at Penang. Even since I started to have a job after graduation, taking a flight back to JHR seems to be affordable to me now.

The cheapest rate that I got from Malaysia Budget Airlines [i ain't going to say the company name out as i dun wanna give them a free advertising here] from Penang --> JHR was RM39.99 before airport tax. Even though I knew they were giving away 1 million free seat for their customers earlier on, I did not got a chance to book a seat for myself at that time.

Recently, I just spent RM200 [incl. tax] for an one way return ticket from JHR --> Penang on this airlines. That will be a CNY period so I thought I cannot complain much on that rate that I paid for.

Until few days ago, when I logon to that website again, I found a very shocking promotion they offer for JHR --> Penang. Guess what, it is a RM39.99 per trip deal again!! OMG!! That really makes my heart pain when I saw that promotion on the website.
But, what to do? I had already made an early reservation which cost me RM200 / trip for a peron. The worse thing is, I bought 2 tickets as my bf will be joining me.

OMG!! See:-
I paid: RM200 * 2 = RM 400
Now it is only cost: RM39.99 * 2 + RM60 = RM139.98 ONLY!!
An early reservation cost me an extra of : RM260.02

OMG, do guys learn any lesson here? Never think "early bird catches the worms" anymore ...

China has spent 2 years in reseaching a complete list of Chinese surnames. The surnames listed above are in popularity orders. The latest top 5 most popular Chinese surnames are:
Lee, Ong, Chong, Lau, Tan [李，王，張，劉，陳]

So now, this is the order for HENDRIX popularity:
Gay is the Champion among HENDRIX: - number 4 in the world [so, no need to worry even if your are gay & impotent :p becoz there are still a lot of Laus in this world - Ops, this is comment by Achew, sorry]

Tutu & ddcat are number 5

CMOS, your surname population doesn't look promising. You are number 16. I think you better work harder every night in order to push up the ranking :p

PIMP, we can't identify you real Chinese surname here. Izzit 王 or 黃?
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: My colleague's birthday - Michelle Chen]]> I love my colleagues ~~
I have been working in current company since April'2005. My colleagues are mostly gals & they are at similar age as mine. This is quite different from my previous job as most of my ex-colleagues were aunties & uncles & I was the youngest among them. Alrite, if you want my to define my ex-group, they are averagely above 35 yrs old & most of the time they will talk about their sons & daughters during the conversation. Which I think that was a gap between my life circle with theirs at that time.

Today, it is Michelle's birthday. I bought her a pair a earrings & we also get her one birthday cake from Secret Recipe. Initially, we were planning not to let our boss to join our "private celebration", well in fact, we had no place to hide & finally the boss smelt the cake & popped out don't know somewhere in a sudden & joined us for the celebration at the end.

It was not a big celebration but it was kinda funs to celebrate your friend's birthday in office. Well, who's next? That will be Jane. Her birthday is on 10/Jan. Let me think what to buy for her next then ~~
*** Happy Birthday to Michelle - She is 28 yrs old this year ***

 
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Where to get budget glasses?]]> I start to have short-sighted since 1993. My current power is -4.25. I seldom wear glasses as I look funny with glasses on my round face. Thus, I depend a lot on contact lens.
Although I know wearing lens more than 8 hrs is not healthy to my eyes, but still I always do it coz I don't really like wearing glasses.
During my recent shopping with my bf, we found a place which offer quite a competitive price & service for glasses. The shop is called "A-Look" & it is a franchasing of a Hong Kong eyewear shop. The one that we went is located at 1st floor in Pragin Mall Penang.


The whole shop only offer 2 pricings: RM138 or RM168 package provide your power does not exceed -8.00 & you can accept a normal thickness glasses. Another advantage of making glasses at this shop is their efficient service. You can get the glasses done in 1 hour.

After trying a few frames, me & my bf decided to take 1 for each as our New Year present. Look, these are the 2 models that we have selected from this shop.




Have you noticed the side frame? There is some special design on both sides. Basically, mine one with the bronze color is a half framed designed & my bf has chosen a blue color similar design but his one is a full frame glasses.



Due to my power is slightly higher & the normal glasses will look quite thick which is not so nice. So, I have paid for extra RM80 to get a thinner type glasses.

Mine costs RM248 and my bf's one is only RM168. We are going to claim it from company yearly optical allowance. So, isn't it reasonable? By the way, they are having some promotions which if you buy 3 pairs in 1 year, they will free 1 pair of sun glasses for you. Hahaha.. what a clever tactic. Well, logically, I don't think ppl will get 3 pairs of glasses in 1 year anyway.
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Wooden wall shelves]]> We went to IKEA on 17/Dec with Lion's aunty. There are lots of nice furniture there just that we can't really bring back to Penang by a Wira.

Before we went, we actually aimed to get some wooden wall shelves to decorate our living hall. We found 1 kind which is smaller & cheaper [it costs RM15 per piece only & in white color] during our shopping trip.




Lion managed to fixed them today. See, aren't they nice? We plan to get more decorative stuff to put on these shelves.

Our next target will be getting a glassy cabinet which we can put in dining area :) We saw 1 at IKEA & costs about RM299. Hopefully we can get 1 in Penang with similar design.
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Earings holder]]> I love earings & I have quite some pairs bought by Tutu.
But, this make a little bit headache to myself coz I find no space to keep them in a nicer way.
Until a week ago, we went to Giant & we bought a key box & later Tutu helped my to transform the box into a lovely earings holder.




See, now I have a more organized place to keep those earings :)
If you are a guy, you may make one for your gf, or if you are a gal, you may ask your bf to make 1 for you :)

 
]]> <![CDATA[little-fairy-land: Smell my Xmas scent]]> I ain't a spend thrift but I do spend $$ on those stuff which I think it's worthy. I have been using perfume for 4 years. My first perfume is CLINIQUE HAPPY & later I changed to Ralph Lauren Romance. Until few months ago when I came across an advertisement in magazine, I got to know anothe fragrance which I planned to get one after I finsihed my current Romance. It's DKNY DELICIOUS.







I don't know why everytime when Tutu plans to gimme a surprise, I will find out the surprise first before he gave to me. For example, I found the Valetine's Day roses in his wardrobe before he gave to me.
This Xmas, I did not expect he will buy me anything coz whenever I asked him for my Xmas present, he said he had not prepared it :"( . Until 23rd/Dec night, I was tidy up the shopping bags at dining area, I found a credit card receipt dropped out from Sunshine Square shopping bag. The a RM308 bill & firstly I was thinking :"Walau, JS ONN bought that Italian cake for RM308??" [As Tutu used that Sunshine bag to put the Italian Cake which gave by JS OON] When I read up the upper part of the credit card receipt, I found it was Tutu's credit card bill. "Yeeee... why he never told me he spent this much of $$ one?" Things get fishy somewhere.



When I read the date, it was on 20/Dec. I can still remember we went to BJ's Pizza Hut & he made me waiting at the Pizza Hut for 20 minutes with an excuse of the toilet was broken down & he had to looked for another one at upper floor. Hey, it was the day that he bought the Xmas gift for me! *_* Yeah, Love u, TUTU!! Muah Muah Muah ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ hihihi..










See, my kids are all so happy & couldn't wait anymore to unwrap the present.










Hihihi, it's my turn to unwrap the present:-











Well, Merry Christmas to all of you ~~
