Getaway to Malacca~

Last weekend,we had a getaway from da City to Malacca a.k.a da Historial State. If I'm not mistaken da first and last round I went there was during my Form 6 time with Winter & come to think of it,it's almost like 4-5 years back,gosh! I dont recall much about Malacca as the only thing I remembered was eating Yong Tau Foo, going to a hotel for a tea time break(sounds cool uh?), rushing back to KL middle of da night cos there were no more bus ticket left!Hehe, little do I know about Malacca.

So this time we decided to go there for jalan jalan cari makan and sight seeing Malacca. I always wonder how come my chimui like Malacca so much till when she reach her retirement age, she hopes to settle down there.

Before reaching Malacca, da things tat worries me da most was da hotel. Well, self admit tat budget hotels in Malaysia always give me a creepy feeling especially stories frm my friends about da lights go on & off, da scary hallway and etc. I was lucky enough to ask my ex-colleague for recommendations as we doesnt wanna spend too much for a hotel and he introduce us Fenix Inn. Da hotel was actually a connecting three 3-storey shoplots and it was a surprisingly a decent,clean and good accommodation. For da location wise,it's pretty good as it's near to everywhere that we wanna go(Malacca aint tat big u know?)and for da money, I personally think it's worth it. What I reallie like about da hotel is everything seems new & clean. What I heard from my colleague is this hotel has been there for a while and most of da time it's fully booked! This aint a myth cos I actually called up to ask for room availability a week in advanced, da receptionist told me they oni had 2 rooms left for reservation, gasp! So we were lucky enough to stayed in here. Thumbs up!

Malacca is reallie a historical state where museums are all around you, the baba & nyonya culture is still instilled there, people are extremely good and food is super delicious. Here I took a snap of our lunch but due to da limitation of uploading pics here so I decided to upload da famous amous 'Cendol'. It's a best of a best cendorl I ever tasted in my life so far. I never reallie liked cendol in KL as it's usually covered with syrup and a lot a lot of ice,doesnt seem facinating to me but in Malacca, it's a must to try!

We were lucky to have found a old lady stall just outside da Hokkien Association at the Jonkers' Walk where they serve traditional 'Lui Chou Coffee' and da butter & kaya bread. You might be thinking what's so great about coffee and bread since we got Old Town, Uncle Lim and etc but this specialty is they use charcoal to boil da water for da coffee and using charcoal to burn da bread!(*hehe,I wonder da word 'burn' is da correct one,since we always say toast bread instead of burn bread,anyway who cares). It's very rare to find people cooking with charcoal, only older people in those days would and da first sip of da coffee and first bite of da bread brought me back to my younger days when I had breakfast with my parents.Awww~~

Anyway too lengthy about Malacca, I honestly do enjoy myself there with da people & lifestyle there and hope to go there again some time =) We had a great time venturing around.

Happie One Week Birthday Baby

Heya bloggie, today is my baby's one week old celebration!Yeah,just out of curiousity,my baby?*lol*Well it's my car,finally after years of struggling and sandwich myself in da public transport,finally I could wave bye bye to da buses and taxis but definitely not da lrt/monorail(they are still very beneficial when comes to traffic jams).

So that's da good news and da bad news is a week ago,my grandpa has passed away cos of old age and honestly speaking,I thought I would have cried on da spot when I see him but in fact I didnt.Da reason is when I first step into his house at Seri Manjung(somewhere in Perak), I saw my grandma lying down on a chair and looking at her reallie makes my heart feels sour & slowly I cried.My grandma is a patient with Alzheimer disease for quite some time and now she reaches da stage where she couldnt walk,talk nor making any hand movements.At times, we aint sure whether is she being conscious or not.It's pretty sad to see my grandparents who has been good for their entire life and walking to their life edge like this. Guess it's all about God's will?

I prayed to God to take care of my grandpa and may him bless us from above =)

Right now,I'm sitting on my new office with only the receptionist and me around.My bosses are out for business trip and another colleague of mine is filled up with appointments. Okie,let me do a little intro about my company and what I'm doing here. Currently,I'm working in a software company that carries Microsoft and SAP products hence my job is to generate new prospects and responsible for the solutions & sales as a Corporate Account Manager(my title =O).

Sounds like a big responsibility uh?Well I havent reallie get my hands on this big responsibility but I felt it coming on my first day. What reallie open my eyes here is da way they train people. Usually companies will spoon feed you and here they coach you.What's da difference?For example,they will prompt you questions to let you figure out the answer to your questions.I dont know how to explain this here but seriously their way is making you think out of your head and realise the uncovered areas.

I hope I fits in here and learning to move up in my career ladder.That's what drives us working right?Money+passion+future+motivation+being happie,without any of these,we'll just complain on and on.

Dear started her new job too few days ago and seems like things are going on well.Thumbs up!

Hmm,about us,we do have a little issue here to settle,which is da 'staying together' issue.We reallie need both understanding about this as you see,I have a family here and moving out for me at this moment is pretty hard as my parents are getting old and I'm still in my career curve. What I think is when my career & financially is stable, this is da time when I can move on to another level & staying with her but I got to understand that now for her,living with people whom she hardly know is kinda difficult. So,I'm trying my best to spilt myself & time for her & my family and of cos I feel exhausted but is there any other option?God, I need some enlightment here.

Anyway time to prepare my stuffs to go out soon,shall have more updates later =) great day everyone and take care my dear,shoo away da flu..muacks!
