Stress

My rule is not to blog about work. But rules are meant to be broken. This morning, was suppose to carry out some test in Singapore. Shipment from penang didn't arrive yet! Whole day no mood. Initially wanted to go shopping.. butwas in the hotel so that i could make the phone calls and get updated and was studying my PCA in the mean time.

I learnt that even if i get stressed out, the shipment will not have arrive any earlier!

So i am just being stupid for not enjoying my day!

Anyway, FYI. Shipment arrived safely at 5pm! :)

XMAS 07

Watched Golden Compass with TT and CC. Afterthought: I enjoyed it but would like it better if i didn't feel the effect of the north pole so much. Was hugging myself so tightly to keep warm admist the north pole wind and snow! Love Mr. Polar Bear in the movie! He is funny in a dry way!

Went to Chilli's for dinner! Hmmm... the receptionist was so so grumpy! her face was worse than Mr. Scrooge on Xmas day! CC complained that it was too bright... then suddenly the lights went dim, they must have heard him! The salmon was delicious and so was the salad!

Happy Xmas 07!

3 years on

Yes, 3 years since i came back from Bonny Scotland. Well, litterally the land of freedom and growth for me. Over there, basically, my motto is Try everything once. Haha.. And no, i don't do drugs nor Crime!

Just days with lots of pub, club crawls, parties! It's unbelievable how much alchohol i used to consume... and yes, even for breakfast! It's a wonder i didn't need to join the AA.

it's kind of strange that grey, dull Aberdeen is my favourite place! I suppose over there, we get to appreciate the snow as well the summer sun and the spring flowers much much more... The fresh sea breeze and mountain air all rolled into one and the clear fresh water from the upstream where salmons go spawning and (where water for whiskey making is tapped) .

Kinda missed all my good friends (SF,M, SP, A, J, G, S, A, S) i make over there as well. Wonder how some of you are doing now. It's kinda of a emotional roller coaster to have to made when i took the decision to come home.

Scotland, land of Haggis, Whiskey, Dolphins, Otters, kilts, ceiligh and bagpipes... ... I miss you!
" Fit Like?" :)

Ipoh Trip

wow.. unbelievable how time flies! and i haven't even touch this blog for so so long. It's kinda refrenshing i have got a new friend who join this blogging community and HS blogs so frequently, that i enjoyed reading his blog so much that i feel i must do something with mine!

Since it was all work for quite some time at HYS, lots of BDC, sort of semi-grand campaign, we needed time to relax and unwind. So that it's not all work and no play!
Spent the whole day in Ipoh. First Stop Gua Tempurung, then Lunch in Kampar, then Gunung Lang,( mini Kui Lin) and then Perak Tong.

Gua tempurung has improved quite a bit since the last time i was there. Well, the road is now a straight road! It's a steep climb. Bringing a group of 40 is much more slow moving then i have predicted. Tiring for some. But it's darker then i remembered. Love the wind Tunnel!

Gunung Lang, an amazingly beautiful place, we went for a serene boat ride. Hmm.. waiting time is long. Should skip this if you are in a hurry! Well, you know me, i am in love with any place with blue sky, white clouds and a bit of green! Haha.. Well, brough peice to my mind.

After we went shopping for some local Ipoh Goodies. was up on the bus babysitting the kids. Wow, the kids these days amazed me! I didn't know so many versions of Guang Liang's song!

Last stop Perak Tong, climb up some steep steps up to somewhere.. Was only up halfway due to time constraint. had a tough time climbing down! Scared the wits out of me. Am i scared of heights or what? I still remember i was so brave up in Macau Tower. Wonder why?
