It took me the whole January to calm my head and think of my 2010. (sheesh now i have one month less in 2011)

Lets see, 2010 was pretty much like a roller coaster like every other year but 2010 was not the pleasant roller coaster till almost the end of it..

In 2010, I grew up, work hard, party less, and find peace within myself.

Jan ’10 I returned to work with a new title and 5 extra job scope that tag along with the title.  For the next 6 months it was only work, worK, woRK, wORK and more WORK. It was depressing to only face no ending hurdles from work and the pressure from everyone at work. But C’est La Vie so I held on and slowly adapted to the weight on my workload..

In Feb ’10, I celebrated the arrival of spring and enjoyed the shortest month of the whole year…

A simple short and sweet month of 2010 with only happy faces around me…*likes*

Comes Mar ’10, the favorite month of the year….. Had a wonderful b’day celebration with people I adore..

Spent like money was growing on trees. Had the overdue pillow talks and exchanged hugs to motivate each other to be stronger…

April ’10, my patience was put to test. A bitter month that I kept at the back of my head as a reminder to have more patience and tolerance… perseverance!!!!!!

Had a girlie weekend getaway to Kota Kinabalu in May ’10… *click* for photos of the short trip!

June came and went just like the breeze and I completed first half of 2010 without really feeling it and then along came July… Played tour guide for a friend and failed big time, tried for a debut at Eddie’s wedding and that too didn’t go too well.. LOL

Lead a group of students to Brunei and adapted the ‘geng’ culture.. Had a lot of laughter in the short 9 days to last till the end of 2010.  :)

August was a mixture of laughters and tears, a good concoction to spice up my colourful life… *stays optimistic* Went for my first so called  ’fishing’ trip and came back with—>

September ’10 was a save $$$$$ month because October ’10 was the ‘bombed’ month!!!!!

’nuff said!!!!

November ’10 was the month to recuperate from all traveling and waking up early every weekend of October so it went by swiftly …. So swift, I don’t know how we won the annual sports carnival hahaha

and it was also the start of  ’youtube’ season so, Yipee!! all the way till Dec ’10..

And we became Santa’s Elf–>

traveled a little,

relaxed a lot !!!! And 2011 was at my doorstep!!!!

it felt like it was just yesterday when I bid farewell to my family and friends back home. Felt like the few months of late nights studying, partying flew by within a week now. The busy school assigments schedule kept me on my toes (not that I’m any less busy getting bk to work schedule). But the point here is I am now missing the short six month stint n now back on track with work.

The year started with that new promotion aka double workload and triple stress level. It wasn’t a great first half of 2010 but somehow it’s over and things are slowly falling into places. That pile of papers now don’t look that difficult, that phone call is not my worst nightmare and those decision is now made on an average of weekly timeline.
I have never really understood the meaning of ‘everything comes with a price’ but now I have a whole new perception about it. The price for the new position is making me weigh the value on it on my resume over the heartache I have to endure. And yet I come to no conclusion!! I’m irritated by myself, by the people around me, by the people above me and just about everything that has effect on what I’m doing !!! I hate to sound like I have so much hatred over everything but yet over the pass few months, dissapointment, anger and frustrations just hit me wave after wave. *arghh*

So that’s on the professional life of mine which more a less is very frustrating but I won’t want to let it monopoly my life. So along with all the frustrations, I have managed some happy, positive side of things. I have managed some memorable trips around with fun people, had countless nights of laughter of just about every word that went around and enjoyed some alone time for deep thinking for no particular reason.

It’s now September 2010, less than 4 months before we greet 2011! So, let’s see how these few months would be. ‘hopefully eventful and colourful!!!’

Till I get the writing mood again!!!

Bai!!

It was my ‘Royal Highness’s Birthday’ on the 5th November.. He has been complaining that I am the heartless AA cos don’t remember his birthday which was the same number as mine.. Me and Sira were cracking our heads to do something special for him..

Cooking is already a norm to us cos we always cooked at home and have kazillion people coming zum Essen zusammen so that’s out of the question. Going out for something we all enjoy= Thai food, also something that is not so special cos we turn Thai every two weeks (at least).. Japanese cuisine, pricey and all three of us going back soon.. Could get better sushi with reasonable pricing at home.. ( seriously, I think I want to start some Asian cuisine food outlet here, damn high demand.. Let me go home and master my ‘chicken rice recipe’ first hahaha) eating in Switzerland is always a problem. Not much choices but bread, bread or more bread (which to me is superb but not to most of the people that need their rice intake)

So we think think think till both were suffering from bad hair lost, Sira came out with the idea of bringing ‘his majesty’ for some grown up dining where he would be served by hot chicks on roller blades.. Hooters!!!!
Off we went to Zurich, to the nearest Hooters we can reach.

To our disapointment, ‘the girls are only hooters grade c quality’ (direct quote by Mr. Parim) hahah but we had fun though.. Photos will follow in FB soon from Sira’s cam.

We were so excited being first timers in Hooters, we took picture of everything… and notice ‘eh the menu in German la..How come?? Isnt this an american chain??? Argh whatever just order aje… they have photos of the food on the menu…’

That’s the menu.. Obi, Micky and Parim just ordered by pointing at the girls on the menu.. *speechless*

We didn’t get much of the girls attention though with the busy Friday nite crowd but we definitely got some nice view of some butts from where we were sitting.. (the boys were facing the bar.. and the girls faced the entrance.. =with cute guys walking in throughout the nite.. lol …)

Asians have to take photos of everything..

from every angle if possible…

and different faces of course…

Then food started flooding the table.. Me and Sira got a lil too ambitious bout our order haha.. will understand that when you see the FB photos update later..

The 50 STUCK chicken wings that we ordered… and had to go on eating competition to finish it… (I ATE 9 , MORE THAN SIRA!!!! YEAYYY!!!)

Generally food was ok.. So so.. nothing to shout about though.. but the companion that were around made the dinner together so much fun.. With Parim forever cracking up silly jokes whole nite, my cheeks were numb from just laughing..

After sitting around occupying the table for a long time, waiting for the waitress to come by so ‘My Royal Birthday Boy’ could take a photo with her..  (A prove of a grown up BOY in a grown up restaurant!!! lol)

Later we proceed to catching a tram to Bahnhof and missed the train back to Luzern by 1minute. Had to wait for another 30 minutes for the next train which also meant we were to spend more time with our duo jokers, Micky and Parim. Playing tour guide, took posers photos and also did live lion dance performance in the middle of the alley of ZURICH BAHNHOF… OMG it was hilarious…  by the time we board the train —->

Tewas straight…

My battery were only running low but was still very awake cause of the two glasses of Coke…

& The lovebirds, —>

Was a fun nite definitely.. Will miss these people when I go home next month..

Stay tune for Prague updates…

Signing off with ♥,

OK Bai!!!

Hello people, Gruezi!!

It has been almost 3 weeks back here in Luzern and classes started last Monday. And best thing is I have finished at least 2 presentation and formed 3 different groupings and had already group discussions together with some disagreement at the begining. In all there have been work and hard work and harder work along the way but thats not all because i didn’t forget to have fun at the same time.

This time round, i return as a half student half working adult mind. I would say it is somehow easier for me to digest the stuff in the 4, FOUR hours straight of lectures. But somehow a lil weird to be having people addressing me ‘Ms. Wong’ but I introduce myself as ‘Shin’ to new faces. Thats is something i’m still adjusting. Oh that would lead me to last Friday, it was the first Friday night since classes started and almost the whole population of IMI planned to head down to ‘Opera’ a local club. Initially I didn’t intend to join the clubbing session and was in zurich after class. Linardy was off and it was CRAZY SALES in Zurich. (shall get back to the sales craze later). So i got home slowly, no hurry and was demanded to get changed and get going. So low and behold i was in and out of the house joining the crowd and end up getting home around 5.30am. It was 23 1/2 hours staying awake. I have long stopped doing that ever since I started working. It felt so good to be like some energized bunny again. Partying with people that was once my students was also something quite exciting.

Ok now some pictures to not bored you guys to death. (Cryst: this is for you.. me still alive)

Thats me.. on a happy day.. when I had a few guests visiting

Shaz who just arrived.

Ahmad that was tired of carrying the heavy laptop bag around time.

Dennis who are jealous of my apartment…

And Aiman, my financial controller, and my hang out space provide..

Weather here is like ‘harga saham’. fluctuates like crazy!!  One day rain with thunder and lightning, the next could be all bright and sunny and the next day could be cloudy and cold like its autumm already. And it changes everyday. Drives me nuts to think about what to wear to school to keep myself warm enough or not too much(I’m staying off campus this time and it takes  about half an hour travelling time everyday, changing bus and carrying laptop bag, handbag and sometimes umbrella is not too convenient. What is going to happened when the snowing starts??) Everyday, i have to go thru this ===>

Bus Schedules… and FEW of ‘em. Will be able to memorized it by the end of the semester.

Mentioned bout my housemates, and below are just a few of some silly stuff we do when we are free.

Thats Sneha from India—> Dress up in some kinda dress, then start putting on pegs on the face. I don’t know why she did it but she did it and asked us to take photos.

Thats Itzel from Mexico —> Joining the photo session while we are actually sorting things out.  Started so randomly with one doing silly stuff and it slowly linked up to the rest.

And then you have me.. joining.. (There were other stuff we did that was not captured like suddenly turning on some Bollywood music and start dancing..Or start playing ‘KABADEE’..Or just start laughing for no reason..)

Ok for now.. A birthday party goin on in the living room so i shall go join the crowd….

Ok Baii for now..

Signing off with huggies!!

Woohoo… Its my third day back in the beautiful town and it felt like I’m back home. Felt so good to be back and to top that up, ITS CRAZEEE SALEEES time. So many things, so much discount but so little $$. I havent start growing money tree on my balcony. LOL

Hmm a little update about my current place. Checked into a single room with lake view top floor ‘what more can i ask for’ Fully equipped apartment with two bathroom. Cool housemates so far. 3 rooms still unoccupied. Big spacious common area with boxes and boxes of my housemates stuff.. Looks like 8 person’s stuff but in fact its only for ONE. I dunno how to start clearing or where to start. Eventually it will dissapear when PA marks starts running haha.. As off now, internet connection is not sucky. FB the utmost important daily duty.

Went off shopping for some NECESSITY for the room and myself and ended up with some shower gel, some food, 3 bags and 2 pairs of shoes. Kill me already. Its only how many days again?? Gosh I’m officially starting to hate going to town or walking thru old town or even the train station. Shessh..

Activated my sim, which was given to me by a kind cutie pie. Topped up and found out it cost 1CHF for 5 minutes call bk home and 0.09CHF for calls to the same network. Hmm quite cool rite. Wanted to try out the rates but noonw back home picked up my calls.

Met some cool people and went to the airport the second day of my arrival to send off a friend. Crazy isn’t it? Lend my SDcard to the friend so i have no pictures of the day to upload and show off here. She will be bk in a month and hoping the photos will appear in FB before that.

Thinks Swiss regulations are bias cos they say i’m OLD!! and starting to hate the number already. Found out few hours ago, my room number is the number i hate. Application for ‘young independent traveller’s card’ rejected.. *hate hate hate*

Making plans to meet old friends and still in search for MARCEL AKMAL.lost his contact number together with my old phone and he would hate me if i came back and didnt call. Anyone with his mobile num please let me know.

Dont know what i’m posting up now cos everything is so random and i’m still very excited to be back. Can’t believe next monday i have to be back in school.. Felt young again.

Till the pictures arrive. Tchuss!!!

Ok Bai
