Crazy over....

Crazy over....


I'm sorry for neglecting my blog again *shame*. I've been so busy with so many gatherings and parties and traveling this 1 month and a half, and of course with some new business coming up soon. I went to Singapore on 13th April and went back Vietnam on 16th at the same month. Since then til now, i've been flying Vietnam- Malaysia 4 more times, i think. God, i don't know how much money i have spent for this airline businesses MAS and AIRASIA :o( *bankrupt*. But so far, no complain at all. I just felt that i am so lucky right now. I have so many good friends, good students, good life, everything turned out from bad to good so unexpectedly and I have very good time to rest and have a very long holiday. Perhaps, it's just a reward for me for working so hard last 2 years. Everyday, 8am til 11pm :o(. Now it's time to relax, to chill out and to recharge my battery. I need to get full of my energy for the next journey working again. I'm just too excited!
See what i have done these few weeks???
As posted earlier, i went back Malaysia on 4th May and i had immediately the trip to PD on the next day. *refer to the previous post*. I was under medication that time due to some serious allergy with seafood and bad coughing in Vietnam. Doctor said I had to avoid alcohol and seafood and chicken and kangkong and whatelse? God! All the good things in life i had to avoid :o( I was trying my best to follow what doctor said but sometimes, things was just unresistant. I gotta the next hangout with my gals in Mojo pub, KL.
8th May:
1st session: Drinking and Dinner with my senior students in one restaurant, after that i gotta rush back here for 2nd session. These gals were terribly happy in drinking and dancing that nite. Only 5 of us!
And we finished this! No left over!
Those heavy drinkers and enjoyers, lolz. 9th May: Studio farewell party with students. It was so great to see this group of students again. They are sweet, they are lovely, they are passionate about dancing and they are hardworking. Even though i just taught them for few months, but what we had are sweeter than whatever i want to tell here. Just super! James, Me and Ui Jin- My boys :) Sharon, Joanne and Me. 12th May: Karaoke session with another group of student in Neway, Subang :D I have so many students so far, yeah tell me about it. Just a small group, 4 of them in a class, 3 gals, 1 guy but i could feel how sweet they treat each other. So fun and happening too! I love it and i enjoyed so much with them. Wanie, Alfie & me. Wanie was showing her singing skills. My Godness! This lady is so happening that surprised me :D She enjoyed singing and knows most of the latest songs. When she sings, she will sing until time up, lolz A sweet and small 13th May: Dinner at Friday, 1 Utama with....students again :D. That's why i said, i'm so lucky ;) Camwhoring while waiting for the late arrivals. People commented i looked good with this hairstyle and dress up. That's what many people said, not me. And here we came! This was my food. STEAK! What's the name of it? Am wondering why the heck the Friday owner had to to think of so many difficult names of the foods for us to remember? Can it be simpler? This is what? Don't ask me the name, please. I just ate it only! 15th May: Company farewell party! We got cake, we got drink, we got hug and tears. Most of my colleagues are girls but we really love each other like sisters in the family. It's my luck to know them, they are super sweet and caring. In fact, i had 1st farewell with all of my colleagues in tear on 10th April when bosses weren't around. That really a big farewell in my life. They cried and they made me cried too! This 2nd farewell party for me was organized by bosses. They gave me a gift which is PINK PERFUME WITH THE SHINING CRYSTAL DECORATE ON TOP. ^_^ I was just happy to leave! I don't loose anything. In fact, i got so many things in return which i don't expect it at all. How surprised? :D 16th May Flying back Vietnam for a short vacation and some personal reasons. It was a super happy trip for me. I can't tell much about this because i know MY BLOG HAS A SPY. They want to check what i do, where i go and start making noise and scarcastic. Lolz, damn! *so free and so fu@#@#g irretated* Whatever, what goes around will come around to them. I don't really give it a damn! Back to the journey, perhaps you could realize this? Yup, this is PHO BO (beef noddle), the famous food in Hanoi. I had a very nice walk and shopping night at the old quarter of Hanoi. I don't know how many thousands of people were there but it was just enough to make the 2km streets was bloody crowded. Full of people and noise. If you want to shop in Vietnam, you should go to those places like this. Just right for the tourists: cheap and lotsa things especially for ladies. Drinking coconut jelly at the street side. Yummy and tasty!
I could tell you that i'm very fresh and happy right now after all. How lucky i am? Still have almost 2 weeks togo. Need to find the new desitnation for vacation before i really start work in SG. I'm so looking forward to start the new job but also so looking forward for the holiday to come.
Does it sound crazy????
Yes, it is indeed! It's 4.28am now and i'm still photoshopping for the new banner of my blog. I want to change the cloth for my blog. Very soon, you will see!

Hi Malaysia, I'm back!

Hi Malaysia, I'm back!


Updated! This is my latest look, all! How is it? Lotsa people said that i look so much different from before, lolz...Hopefully it's positive comment :D I was back Msia 3 days ago in the evening under pretty bad health condition. I almost had to cancel my flight to Msia just because i was too sick, heavy coughing until now, gastric pain, serious allergies which God knows where the hell it came from. I was just so tired and pained during my flight. But it's getting better til now after 4 days. I had a good sweet time with my loved one in Port Dickson a night before i reached my house. This is the first time i've came here. Not so much activities and people around, perhaps it's low season, but still i could enjoy the peace, the beach, the wind so much. Just perfectly sweet and nice! This is the hotel where we stayed: Avillion hotel. I love it so much. Speacial huh? You could check it out HERE
The bedroom! It likes a princess bedroom. I was thinking how wonderful it is if it would be in PINK color :D The open air bathroom where you can see the sky and the sea is under you. So cool! The signs lead to our room, special designed.
So yah, basically. I was back safely in one piece. Sorry for not answering some of the calls of you the 1st 2 days i was back. I just want to have my own time to rest and enjoy my holiday. Walking along the beach in the sun set with my love.
Enjoy the nice foods and the nice view.
Yesterday and today, i received so many calls/ sms from my friends and students, they seem know so well exactly when I'm back Msia. :D So sweet of them.
Even though i'm not fully recovered yet, but i'm very ready for all parties and gathering from today til the last day i leave Msia.
Coming up next: Mojjo, the happening night life!

2 weeks have passed. Gosh! Time flies so fast. My holiday is running out of soon :(. I only have 5 days left to be home before I start my new journey in life. Everything is so great so far! I had a very fun time with all friends, students and family. Sleeping, eating, traveling, being taken care so well and enjoying work-pressure free. How good! Last week, i went to the beach with my brother and his friends. He made this trip for me as I wanted to introduce me to his friends whom was heard so much abt me before. It was on Saturday! Unfortunately due to the impact of typhoon, it was damn heavy rain until it was flooded in front of my house in the morning. I was so disappointed and sad. However, God loves me. Yes! It stopped raining in the late afternoon around 4pm. And our journey heading to the beach was still On as planned. Weather was abit gloomy, cold and foggy as in this photo:
but this couldn't stop us from going. We took a motobike to go there. 10 of us together on 5 motobikes :D Enjoyed so much the wind and the view on the way. Me and my brother! The wind blowed my hair! :D The beach is pretty near to our house, just 20 minutes drive! Here we are!!! The welcoming gate to the beach! It names Do Son beach *see my pinky glasses*
my funny, cheeky brother made fun of the light :D So love him! Can you see the buffalo statue behind me? THIS IS WHAT DO SON BEACH IS FAMOUS ABOUT!! Every August of the year they have the very big buffalo fighting competition in Do Son. This attracts thousand people from all over cities of the country to come and watch. The winner buffalo and the looser one will be killed at the end of the competition because they can't be joining the competition next year. People will take their meat and sell out to the market. The owner of the buffalo winner will get some amount of money as the prize. You gotta watch it to believe it! CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO Ok, back to my trip! We didn't plan to go to Do son to watch buffalo fighting, we went there to each seafood and enjoy the sea view. The main road leads to the sea! The food here is super delicious, tempting and cheap! See this First thing i have to talk about here is BEER! Yeah, RM3/ bottle like this! Can you believe? The first dish: Steam oyster with ginger and chili This is dried cuttle fish fried with spicy and sweet sauce Big Crabbies :DThis is called LALA in Malays, and you know what is their English name? It's called: ANADARA GRANOSA, bloody long huh? :DThis is one special kind of prawn which i haven't found out the real name of itThis is the oyster poridge, yummy! My brother enjoyed so much the COCONUT WINE And here, the big eatersAs usual, hmmmm.....photo shooting session. Yeah! :D. This time, my brother was photo grapher.

Enjoying!


I'm sorry for late update. It's been 4 days since i arrived Vietnam. Everything is still fine so far. The only thing i did during the last 4 days were: waking up at 11am in the morning, having lunch, having a afternoon sleep and going out for shopping, eat again and sleep again. Super fatty i feel, lolz but it was cool, yeah! i'm not sure if it still continues this way, will i be getting on weight? Whatever, time to relax huh? Yeah it's me here, the latest look :) The weather here is super hot and humid as it's summer time now. Arggghhhh, so much hotter than in Msia. Rite now, i'm having a cup of vietnamese coffee and blogging... no stress, no pressure, no worry...How nice! :) Wonder what is my plan in next 2 weeks? Hmm, you're gonna envy me: My brothers and his friends will bring me to the beach, this is the beachy season in my hometown. Lotsa people will go there, i will eat seafood until i get fainted coz eating too much, lolzz...go shopping with my friends. I will be teaching of course for 1 week plus and will have a short vacation with my students. Not sure where about but i'm sure it's gonna be very fun and happening. Can't wait for it. So yah, basically, i'm enjoying so much my time right now. It's so good to be home after 4 years plus i've been living far away from family. This is the longest time i could spend with them ever. But no doubt, i miss Malaysia too :o(. I miss all my students, my colleagues, my works, my life there :o( Will be back soon, I can't wait for the gathering with all my lovies :)

GOOD BYE MALAYSIA

GOOD BYE MALAYSIA


I have no ideas what to blog about even though there are so many things happening to me right now. A big change is all I can say. I'm still so sad for leaving all my students and friends in Malaysia...I need to take sometimes to get used to a new life from now.

I left Malaysia at 3pm in the afternoon on 14th April. I was supposed to reach Singapore at 8pm but there was an unexpected event happened. I was kept by the immigration officer in Johor for 45 minutes. Not because of I was wearing heavy makeup with sexy clothes (i was still sick by the way). I was questioned for being overstayed (one day) in Malaysia. On my passport, it stated the last day I could stay in Malaysia was April 14th. I thought If I leave Malaysia on April 14th, I should be fine.  Had I known that I would reach Johor Baru (JB) custom at 12.30am on April 15th ( I left at Kula Lumpur at 4pm approximately and it took 8 hours to reach JB, I would have left on April 13th. Technically, by April 15th 12.30am, I was still in Malaysia and that was a problem. The immigration officer named Faroug told me so. The consequence? "You could be in jail," he said.  No one, even the most experienced traveler, could stay calm when he was told that he could be in jail for offending the law. I was freak out. Perhaps, he saw how terrified I looked, he offered an easy way out. RM100 (USD25) cash penalty and it solved the jail sentence like a magic trick. Faroug was kind enough to help me catch the next bus to Singapore.

While sitting on the bus, I still couldn't believe what just happened and how easy it was for me to get out of a dark night. I reached Singapore around 10.30pm. Starving and exhausted. A kind gentleman, who could potentially be my boss if I passed an interview with his partner the next morning,  was waiting for me at the bus station. He asked me to come to Singapore for an interview and waited for more than 1 hour at the bus stop. He arranged a nice the hotel for me to stay,  bought me a yummy frog porridge and cold crab for supper. This was the first time I tried a cold-crab and they tasted so delicious.


This is my hotel room 

Besides missing Malaysia, everything is fine with me so far. I can't wait to go back to Vietnam and see my parents tomorrow after I finish the interview. I'm going to stay in Vietnam for 3 weeks and if I get this job that I'm going to interview for tomorrow, I'll start my new life in Singapore. Otherwise, I'll figure out something else. I don't know what yet, but we shall see! Good night!
