After a long week of stress and sweat, its time to sit back and relax. I have cryst’s photos pending and my trip photos pending but I just wana have a weekend with nothing to do and just relax.

The past week was havoc! Had our annual event and gosh the mess I tell you. Now i know why my teachers hated canteen days in my high school years. There were about 25 booths set up for competition last Thursday. They whipped up their own menus and god only knows how did they managed to prepare everything. (gosh I dont wana touch on the preparation methods they used… eeiiiww) From Monday, there were alot of things to finalized and reconfirm and re reconfirm again over and over again. Space for last minute changes were always there. And managing this whole thing with the help of 6 people was really hectic. *thank god its over*

Wed was prep day and every individual class came in to set up their booth, preparing for war on the next day. Tables all arranged properly for all but these people are so competitive and everyone wanted the best location and best customer feng shui, they changed here and there the direction and initial set up. One blocking another, what will happen?? Need i say more?? So I had to run around like a headless chicken settling all this issues. My own class was left unsupervised and others took advantage of this and at the end of the day, my class was pushed to a corner where noone can see us… Like that how to win best sales man???? sheshhhh….

Wednesday nite, four of my girls stayed over to do some prep. Slept for less than 2 hours and was at college by 6.15am on Thursday morning.

Had a tiring day but really enjoyable one too.. The happiest moment was to see more than half of my students working together, breaking walls and barriers to reach the same objective. Saw some really quiet ones taking charge of things and making sure everything was sailing smoothly. And saw my class rep goin crazy was also funny..

I guess now its the post food fest sympton, must rest and recuperate. Now let me go finish my novel then i should be all geared up for the next 6 weeks..hehe

Ok bai!!

The first time when i announce my work position to my friends, they were in the ‘aww’ , ‘OMG’ and the ‘Are you serious?’ tones. And then i question myself, would this be the right choice of line. A close friend then asked me, ‘Are you gonna just stay put and work? I thought you would be in those line that would require you to travel half the month to some place half way round the globe.’ My answers back then was simple, I wanted to travel but I have to start some where with my career line and its not easy to find a traveling position. The only official one that i know is waitressing in the air and i was not about to throw my hard earned certificate away.

Well little did i know when i accepted the offer, that my work scope ‘sometimes’ allows me to travel. I can say I’m pretty lucky to get to a few places along the way after my acceptance of this position. Some times it maybe local places but certain times I get to fly further and more than 2 hours.

This time round, I was arranged to accommodate 60 plus students on an International Tourism Trip to Macau and GuangZhou. I don’t have to do much though, the class organizing committee were pretty efficient in getting things in place. (well they have been planning for this since the beginning of the year!) All together there were three of us accompanying this trip to oversee 20 odd students each group. It was an educational trip, exposure and learning outcomes are highlighted. (subject based)

So we left for our first stop, Macau early Wednesday morning with a series of drama to follow till the day we got back. We were to meet up at 4am ..4 freaking AM when its the best time to stay in the comfy blanky. (don’t be surprise for thousand of photos up next)

(My group leader doing all the work)

(Everyone half awake but excited)

(This bunch were the camwhoring boys all the way)

We got to the airport more than 2 hours ahead of time (bout 5plus and flight is ‘scheduled’ to be 8AM.) And upon reaching, like 100meters before drop off point in LCCT, our tour guide got a sms saying the flight delayed till 11AM. Shesshhhhhh.. but we proceed to checking in anyways.

And at the check in counter, the kind lady told us ‘NO DELAY’ and everyone went..’YEEHHAAAA’ and tried to check in as fast as possible cos McD in LCCT tasted better than any other outlet la konon-nya.

It took about 1hour to be done with everyone in line and short briefing on instructions on boarding time and before we turn around to have a head count, everyone went missing. (so much fun goin for trips ya) I went to McD and saw half of the college there, some already eating, some still queing, some just  standing thinking if they should be ordering anything.

After the trouble of chasing the little chickens like a mother hen to the boarding area, we finally heard the stupid announcement saying our flight was indeed delayed till 11AM but the blardy notice board still shows, ETD 8AM. But on a happy note, LCCT is now much cleaner and nicer than the old ‘container’ style low cost terminal.

Waited and waited and waiting still they announced, its further delayed to 11AM.. and at 11AM they announce ‘ Attention to all passengers flight AK smth smth, please proceed to the boarding gate,  TO GET REFRESHMENT’ What the hell, I thought we are taking off at 11.  Once ‘refreshment’ were distributed out, they made another announcement to further delay till12PM. Everyone was like@#@!$!@#@!#@!$#~@~~ but its beyond our control.

We finally board and flew off at 12.45PM and guess whats the reason of the delay? ? Toilet overflow or cant flush or smth was just wrong with the WCs.

And finally we are near Macau.

(the plane with the kaput-ed toilet)

Went thru immigration with more dramas (shall leave it for another post) then boarded the bus and headed to Wynn Hotel as the staff were still waiting patiently for us after such delay.

(and a tower that looks like KL tower)

And reached Wynn had a long presentation with great information about the hotel and by the time we finished, the sun was no where to be seen. And everyone was dying of hunger which very much forced us to proceed to dinner in some restaurant and rescheduled all sight seeing plans to the next day.

This is part 1. More to come in the next few days and i’m rushing for class now.

Ok Bai!!

This is a late post of 2weeks plus (i’m improving okai) I believe some may know some may not know my ‘part time’ hobby is photography. Sometimes i ‘shoot’, sometimes i’m ‘being-shot’.

This particular group of friends are close to heart and ever so encouraging. Making me learn new things, experience different perspective and also ‘baby sit’.. The outing two weeks ago was a plan dinner shoot-session with two objectives;

1. shooting of course.

2. celebrate two members birthday (one of them happened to be MUA)

A reservation was made in this very nice ‘Oriental House’ restaurant serving only the freshes seafood steam that could explain the price they charge. I didn’t get the name right but I think it is called ‘The TEA house’. Located behind McDonalds in Telawi Street Bangsar.

Lets see what have we got that day:

Tea house of course with some rite?

Me being the ‘not-very-serious’ kinda person, it was a whole more difficult that i’ve expected. Expression had to be a certain feel and posture must be correct, tummy has be hidden of course and lightings are also important because it was indoor shot. All in all it was hard but fun at the same time and i realized it may be to restricted for me. No happy jumping around, go crazy shots and all feel shots.

Thanked all the ‘photographers’ la to live up with my i dunno what to do expressions. haha.. More photos on the way but may not post it up here. maybe in FB. currently I’m only having eric’s photos (that explains the number)

The photos are a few of my favorites. And I’m still waiting for the rest of the people to put it up in Multiply. Okai I guess that should be enough for this post and i shall end with my ultimate favorite!!

So thats the first objective we were there.. below is a few more photos for the second reason there—>

The Gang

The Happy and Hyper People

The Suprise

The Birthday People

Thats All..

Ok Baii..

Yes its the new look and I’m still working on it, of course with a lot of help. (I could never possibly managed to figure out what is css, rss all the other with S’es) *sigh*

Knowing me, this might take some time… I have already stored a few post to be uploaded but thinking. Have been facing some privacy issues from work and trying to manage it. (Imagine blocking people from facebook.. terrible experience)

I shall go further learn on the new layout and also get use to the latest version of WordPress. (gosh, its so different=its only going to take longerrrrr)

Ok Baii

I shouldn’t now start my post with any promises. I shall update as i want and hopefully its enough to keep it alive.

Only last week i celebrated my quarter century bench mark. Feels age is like a skipping number going uphill, never go backwards and each stage it goes up there should be more that we have experienced. (sounds so pro kan?) This year like any other year, its the day of the year that i really looked forward for. I guess its the tradition/ practice  at home that build up the anticipation for small happenings like this. My family celebrates all the small little annual events, birthdays, anniversaries, CNY, etc etc. What my mom said was, ‘all these things are motivation to make us move forward and in the mean time build memories’

This year, I had one of the best birthday ever. All in all i had 7, SEVEN birthday cakes. Felt happy definitely, not because of the cakes i had but knowing the people around me actually would spend time planning. The effort that they put in to make MY day different was really sweet. I’m really blessed to have these people around me.

To top of the already great day, my buddies, soulmates, girlfriends, sisters or whatever u can describe very near to heart people, flew to town for a short visit. We had so much fun hanging out and catching up. Feels like i’m YOUNG again.. (Damn that sounded OLD and corny..)

This is supposed to be a THANK YOU post.. haha.. so no photos for the time being. Don’s ask me why but I’m trying my best to come up with some soon.

Ok BAIII>>> for now!!!
