Gearing up for Treasure Hunt

It's friday and after 1 whole week busy with work stuff, I'm finally gearing up myself for tomorrow's treasure hunt. One thing good in my co. is that we have this yearly hunt organised for the staff. We just need to pay some registration fee which is around RM200. It's really a good deal coz after you divide into 4 people, I just pay RM50. What I get back from there is a night stay at a hotel, enjoy myself and the chance to win the hunt - prizes....

This year, we are heading down south to Johore and it's a driversity hunt - a combination of diversity, driving and treasure hunt. But the worse part of this hunt is to wake up early in the morning ..... have to be at office by 6.30am and will flag off at 7.30am and it takes 9 hours to complete the hunt. What differ this year is that it's a combination of amazing race, fear factor and treasure hunt *Whoa!!!!*. I hope I won't pengsan by the end of the hunt.... and also not to get dark coz now I got 2 tone arm *sob sob* (thanks to my Langkawi team building and also Zone Meeting).

Ok... I shall cross my finger to win the hunt....

Our little niece in Kota Kinabalu is a big girl now even though she is just 19 months. She can walk and talk and drink finish half cup of Yoyo Ice. Look how she enjoyed the drinks... Yummy.....

The above photos was captured on our 2nd day back in KK during our September trip. We had our usual Dim Sum breakfast at Foo Peng and then headed to Palm Square and Warisan Square to have some window shopping together (Big BIL family, 2nd BIL family and both of us).

Ariel enjoyed so much of the big empty place at the Palm Square coz she can walk around it. This is all trained by her mummy, Natalie who always make sure to bring her out during weekends (so that she won't scared of people, which is quite brilliant and then, next time, can go shopping together *he he he*).

Dreaming of Cupcakes

I think I am addicted to cupcakes already. It has been in my mind since my first bite of it way back in August (my birthday cake). Then I ordered 1 box to take back to KK and another box for Gerald to bring back to Doha. My last order was back in Sept for my company Sept Birthday bash (yet to be posted). My fav is the belgian chocolate cupcakes.... Yum Yum...

But then again, I got addicted to it when Jazz show me this lovely cupcake photo in the internet and it really look so yummy. So, what I did to satisfy my hunger is to do a LO of it so that I can see it when I want *The lovely cupcakes above was by Cupcake Momma in SG*. And finally I got to taste her cupcake in Nov coz of Cairo's birthday * I wallop 4 regular cupcake, 4 mini cupcake *. If I don't mind to carry some small hand luggage, I would have tapau 1 box home from Cairo's party.

KL Live & Loud Concert 07

I heard about this concert on MY FM and never knew it is such a big event until my colleague asked me if I am interested in going. Then only I go search about it and whoa.... it's a 10 consecutive days event and the ticket is so expensive!! But then, having a look at the performing artists, it's really great, especially the Chinesse All Star Concert this coming Sunday.

You get to see • Zhang Hui Mei (A-Mei) 张惠妹 • Michael Wong 光良 • Fish Leong 梁静茹 • Victor Wong 品冠 • Andrew Tan 陈势安 • Zhang Zhen Yue 张震岳 • Claire Kuo 郭静 • Vincy Chan 泳儿 • Kenny Kwan 关智斌 • Thor Luk •Jerry Ooi • Huang Qi Shan • Winson Voon.

And that got my little heart interested in going.... and then she told me the good news! It's free if I am interested to go. Sure I am.... who wouldn't, right? And I am interested in going to the Turn on the Pop Concert on 1/12/07 but I will be away for my company Treasure Hunt.

So, is there anyone else going to the KL Live & Loud Concert 07?

Sayonara to iCute, Irashaimasu to HP

After saying bye bye to my Internet, now it's time to say bye bye to my iCute (my PC of 7 years). I am not sure what happened to it coz it was fine the last I used it. Only this Friday my bro complained to me and I went to check on it, and it's dead *sob sob* but then it's the chance of a lifetime to ask Gerald to sponsor for a new PC *evil grin*.

So, there I went with "Oh, PC ko liao, can't help it. If motherboard rosak, sure no hope (coz mine is P3 500, dinosaur era). I will go to Low Yat to search for a new PC tomorrow."

Hence, my Sat plan of scrapping turned to PC hunt. Got a few quotation but this HP really stands out coz almost the same price as the DIY, just a hundred bucks diff but then, I got Vista and warranty by HP. This is also because it is an old model, they just upgrade the parts and sell off. I dun mind as long as it is wat I wanted and we bought it yesterday and also upgrade the graphic card & RAM.

Here's what my new PC spec is like:

• Centrino Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz
• 2GB RAM
• 250GB Hard disk
• DVD RW lightscribe
• DVD RW (additional)
• Nvidia GEForce 8500 256 RAM (additional)

All the above is for RM 2002 and the most important part of this is, Gerald is sponsoring RM 500 while the rest will be share between me and Ah Wai (my lil bro). This PC should last for another 5-7 years.

Now all I need is my Internet connection to feel the difference of old and new pc.

Watches

When it comes to watches, I am very choosy in getting the right one for myself. It must be reliable, trendy but evergreen and most importantly, stainless steel or genuine leather material. The later part is due to my skin sensitivity to metals, hence, no fashion watches for me, no matter how nice it looks. When come to reliablity, there're a few Watches making brand in the market and I am sure that you have heard of raymond weil watches, Rolex and Tag Heuer (my dream watch brand).

My very own Dim Sum Chef

It's Friday and it's weekend for Gerald. Let me help him to blog about his new found hobby here...

Dim Sum making, my hubby's new found hobby in Doha. He was left with no entertainment (tv spoilt & internet connection is on & off - thanks to the Bandwidth Hoggers), so he found a way to entertain himself and killing time during his weekend by cooking. Cooking has always been in his blood but I never thought of him making dim sum from scratch *coz you can't get the skin there, so, he uses flour to make the skin*

Let me treat you guys to some homemade siew mai here :p

Checking Account

Having a checking account for me is easy coz my last job is with HSBC, so, all I need to do is give them my details and just RM 10 to open my account with them. All this is done in the comfort of my office in Cyberjaya, very hassle free. And I really love the convenient of the all in 1 account that I have with them.

Going wireless

If you're living in a double story house and you're so into internet, you will definately opt for wireless router than the conventional router. Me and Gerald are looking forward to get one of this but then, I must get back my internet connection at home. It has been almost 3 months since I apply for the phone line and internet, yet, it is no where near my house. Hence, the few blogging post coz I am still without internet connection now *sob sob*

Christmas in Singapore

When comes the time for Christmas, I will enjoy the walk at Orchard Road. Why? This is because the street is deck with beautiful Christmas decorations. I must say, it is the only place in this part of the world that have the Christmasy feel. Hence, this year I am going down again for Christmas *fingers crossing coz Gerald feel it is too rush*.

Oh, not to forget that during this time, there're lots of sales going on. Sales on all the clothing brands, shoes, bags and not to forget diamonds, esp the diamond rings. They will be on half price!!! So, for those people tat want to get wedded, it's a great time to hunt ;)
