Been lazy lately to update my blog as I've got distracted by other things. Every time, it usually takes me 3 hours at least. For what? Editing photo nicely before uploading and writing. Thus, since I started working, I don't really have much time for it, not as much as last time when I was studying. So now I'm just a hobby blogger.

Yesterday, I went to a spaghetti restaurant Pasta de Gohan in Sunway with a friend.

The first time we went there was 2 weeks ago. I looked damn ugly and sleepy, like just getting out of the bed. No making up, no dressing up. Lolzzz..

Surprisingly, a person doesn't like to eat much Western food like me could go to spaghetti restaurant twice a month and now blogging about it. It must be a reason. This was the first time. We went there on their opening day. It was pretty crowded and we had to queue up for a while to be served. The unique and special thing about this restaurant is their decoration (you're gonna see it later). We got attraction by the decoration actually, but at the end the foods are pretty good and tasty. So it's ok. We chose these ones:




It's a bit expensive, I think. Total bill was RM60 something. Everyone was happy, but the happier part is WE GOT FREE VOUCHER WORTHS RM62.
We all were very surprised and happy. Yes, of course! It's considered you went there to EAT FOR FREE AND THEY COMPLIMENT YOU RM2. That's why this restaurant is worth to be on my blog. The voucher was the reason to bring us here again. And this time, I decided to take a photo from the outside to inside to advertise for them. This time, we ordered more expensive items. I ordered spaghetti with oyster, egg york and mushroom (* it was so yummy, trust me).





And by the end, total bill was RM79 something. We only paid extra RM17 for this delicious meal. Super good! I think they still have this PROMO, so if you want to get this, go and try one. It's nice and special from the decoration. Instead of using the wall, they are doing like this.




It was a recording for Maxis company as they are opening a service in Vietnam soon, so they are looking for someone to say all greetings and instructions in Vietnamese. Something like this
"If you wish to activate your favorite caller ringtone, press 2". The job was not as simple as it sounds. For this short sentence to be done, you need to do and redo few times to get a perfect one. Thus, paying for this job is quite good.

To all Vietnamese friend, if in the future, you are using Maxis mobile service and you hear this voice then remember it's ME! :p
That's all about it. And now, it's my sleeping time. zZzZzzzzzzzzzz

I'm back! I know you guys are waiting for me after my trip to Ho Chi Minh. I wanted to blog, but I was too busy to catch up with work after my holiday.

Here you go! This is the first time I've been to Ho Chi Minh (you believe or not) but I could say it was GREAT TRIP! You should go there one day. I went there for some company works plus my personal things. So excited but also I was a bit nervous because I didn't know anyone there, and I was not familiar with the roads there. But at the end, things turned out so well. One of my friends who I only met online before came to air port and picked me up. He sent me to the hotel and brought me out for dinner. If you guys ever heard about very famous Vietnamese food which called "Pho" (beef noddle), then here you go!

The hotel I stayed was in the area for tourists. It's the most happening area in Ho Chi Minh, thus pricing here is lightly higher than other places. For instance: a bowl of beef noddle and an orange juice cost me VND 60,000 (~ RM15). They are only at RM7- RM8 in some other places. This time in Ho Chi Minh, it is raining season. In the morning, it gets very sunny until 4pm and starts raining then stops at 8pm something. At night, the weather is very cool and windy. It's great to go out with your boyfriend or girlfriend hand in hand.

I thought traffic in Hanoi is already bad but in Ho Chi Minh, it's even worse. I didn't dare to take any photo during rush hour because I was scared of being snatched. It's better for you travel to Vietnam and experience it for yourself. Anyway, it's very COOL. Showing some photos I've taken in some famous places.

This is an email that I've received from my consultant. Not many words, but a lot of meanings behind. Just want to share with you guys.

It might not be 100% accurate but it's interesting and I'm sure those who have ever lived in Europe or Western countries for sometime will know exactly what I am talking about:

THESE ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WESTERN (BLUE COLOR) AND ASIAN (RED COLOR) CULTURE.

 1. POINT OF VIEW

They always go straight to the point. Example, in Europe if a guy falls in love with a girl, he will say "I love you" then I kiss you. But in Asia...: "Do you see the weather today is so nice? And the dress you are wearing is so pretty. You look beautiful today and suddenly i feel falling in love with you" bla bla bla....Sounds weird? But I swear, this is true :D Different pick-up skills.

 2. LIFESTYLE

THEY... live independently but WE...are a family, we are a team, we are...the world. We love family gathering, living in a big family. Nothing is wrong with that, it's just hard for a Westerner to get along with an Asian family at first :D

 3. ON TIME

THEY say 12pm is 12pm. WE say 12pm means...around from 11.45am to 12.10pm sometimes even 12.30pm. Perhaps their times is made of metal, ours is made of rubber, so it can extend.

4. COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

WE sometimes make simple things become more complicated because of the way we communicate. Example, we want to criticize the person A, we don't talk to them directly. We will talk to the person B, then the person B talks to the C, C talks to D....Then finally D talks to A but it's not 100% accurate like what we want talk to A anymore. Thus, misunderstanding arises....So, a Westerner might question "Why can't you just tell a person directly what is right or wrong with them?", an Asian says "It's rude to criticize someone unless you are very close to that person or else they will get hurt. Worse scenario, they don't want to be friend with you anymore because Asian people tend to take it personal and longer time to forget".

 5. ANGER When THEY are angry, they express the anger. When WE are angry at someone, WE hide it inside and smile "No, It's OK. It doesn't matter". How generous we are! lolzzzz....In fact, inside our heart, we hate them like shit! Hahahaa

 6.QUEUING UP This is already improved in our countries. But some other countries, they still prefer queuing up like a bubble team.

  7. EGO Well, I feel this is not really accurate because nowadays, the ego of Asian people tend to become bigger especially MEN EGO (sorry, I didn't mean criticizing here or complaining).

 8. STREET AT THE WEEKEND

This might not be true coz I guess everywhere the shopping center, streets will get crowded in the weekend. IT doesn't matter in Asia or American.

9. IN THE PARTY

They gather in a small group of 2, 3 or 4 people to have a chat. We want to be in big circle with everyone.

10. MUSIC IN THE RESTAURANT Have you come across with this experience while you go to a restaurant, a coffee house, you have to shout at each other coz the music is too loud? I do. :D

 11. CAUSE OF STOMACH ACHE

THEY like fast food and coke drink, WE always drink TEA. So it might not be good for the stomach too if you drink all the time.

12. TOURISM THEY enjoy all the touristy places they've been by their eyes, WE enjoy it by all the photos we take and view them at....HOME later. Lolz, so funny!

 13. PRESENTATION SKILL

In the meeting, THEY dare to look at the mistakes and get over it. We try to avoid it as much as possible coz WE don't want to hurt others in a group. Or if we talk about it, we will say "There is 1 mistake over here, but it's not our fault"

 14. THREE MEALS IN A DAY

THEY prefer 2 cold and 1 hot meal. Our food have to be always hot. That's why people love steamboat I think, lolz...

  15. TRANSPORTATION From year 1970 to 2006. Is it true? :D


 16. OLD PEOPLE'S LIVES

No wonder, my parents already talked about marriage and having children to me. Lolz.

 17. BATHING TIME This one depends on individual. I take bath twice in a day, in the morning before I go to work and at night before I go to bed. Some people prefer cleanliness, they can take bath 2-3 times a day, in the morning, afternoon and evening but some don't even have once. So can't judge the whole community.

 18. WEATHER VS. MOOD



19. BOSS VS. EMPLOYEES


  20. TREND Perhaps, due to the globalization, many Western people learn how to use chopsticks and love Asian foods whilst Asian people start using fork and knife and eat spaghetti.

  21. CHILDREN

To THEM, Children is a small citizen who is waiting time to grow up. To US, Children is the Center of everythings: Attention, Care, Love, Foods, Needs, Wants, etc...

 22. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HOW THEY THINK ABOUT EACH OTHER?

Lolz, next post, should I write about the marriage between Europe guy and Asian gal? :D Although there are a lot of contradictions between Western and Asian people, but you can't deny that nowadays, there are many couples who come from totally different cultures fall in love with each other. Many Europe guys love Asian girls and vice versa, maybe it's something new. Don't believe? Proof is here :D

  Just a short post to cheer everyone up after a whole tiring week. Have a good weekend all!

It's has been such a long time, I have not had a long sleep like today! I woke up at 11.30am this morning. It felt so nice! I think I lack of sleeps seriously since I started working. I have only 5 hours of sleep every day. That's why every weekend staying at home, I just sleep, sleep and sleep. Luckily, my work is catching up and getting better and better. Last month, I was in top 5 sales in my company and awarded "Best attitude employee" of the month. Sound good?:D This month, I think I got even more sales, probably around RM2x,xxx.00. Work damn hard to achieve it, you know. I'll have a Genting trip with my company at the end of the month and might be going Perak for 2 days to meet up clients. Are you from Perak? Tell me what to do there?

By the way, today is 8/3. Today is International Women's Day in some of the communist countries i.e: Vietnam, China, Russia... This early morning I received some phone calls from my friends and family from Vietnam. They wished me Happy Women's Day. As usual, I don't have the feeling of that day until they called me because here, in Malaysia, there is no Women's Day. So on the occasion of the Women's Day, I want to dedicate this blog post to one lady that I love the most. I really miss her so much. Every time, when I feel down, she always encourages me to stay stronger, to be more optimistic. She is the one who always supports me in whatever I do, and respects whatever decision I make. I couldn't give her any flower for any gift today, but I know she will not be upset about it. In my heart, I just wish her to stay young and healthy forever with me. I couldn't imagine how miserable my life will be if without her. Because she is not only my mother but also "my sister", "my closest friend". And here she is:
