A day with old friends

An old friend of mine came back to Malaysia for 1 week, she found me in FB and invited me and another friend to come out for dinner.

It's been long time since we last met, I can't even remember when. While 3 of us had worked in the same area before (different time and different companies) there were loads of memories for us to flash back.

This time, we had another member joining our gathering too. And because of their status changed, we have another topic to chat -- childcare. haha! Even though both A Ling & I are still single, but we really learn a lot from our nephews.

We have been friends for 20 years, it never be easy, so I really cherish the moment we have and treasure our friendship. I wish that we could be like this, meeting each other from time to time in the coming 30, 40 even 50 years.

Due to privacy concern, the photo is edited, but do you still can tell who is who? :P

Self-grooming and make-up

I don't know why it's called a 'course' but actually I did sign up for a few courses of facial treatment since the past few years. Actually I know nothing about facial, I don't even make up, and quite a beginner in self-grooming. What I do is just try to make myself look neat and tidy (not pretty), that's all. So you won't see me with my well-trimmed eyebrows all the time (if you do, that means at least a few days ago I went to saloon), and I'm always with my 'original' face without any chemicals on, unless I'm going to a dinner or special occasion. That's why, whenever people see me with make-up on to work or to some ordinary occasion like gathering or class, they will be shocked! For me, either it's too good or too bad, I know how the worst face look as, so I'm really scared of doing makeup for myself.

I know it's not good for a lady who doesn't know how to do self make-up, I think it should be a basic skill for most of the female, even young school girls can do a smokey eyes, some of those who I saw on the street, are almost make over already, transformed into a different person. Maybe I should join some beauty school like Regency Beauty to learn how to do make-ups and also groom myself. And hopefully by then, I don't need to sign up for saloon course anymore.

The Avengers: Gathering of heroes

Marvel's Avengers Official Website

I've seen some comments from my friends that this movie is not really that good. However, after I watched the movie, I really enjoyed it and think that it's really great. See, if you want to watch so many action heroes together in one movie, some of them might be lost in focus, but it's just quite good that everyone have their shares of the scenes. Some might think that Ironman may take the major role, but you see, he's not the first one who appeared, and at the end he also needs to listen to the command from Captain America.

Frankly, I really don't know who is the Black Widow and the archer. For that archer, I even saw he was called "Legolas" in one of the scene, from the subtitle. And from his action, it reminds me of the cute archer in "Lord of the Rings", his name also Legolas. Of course I agree that archers are smart, but it's hard to be a single hero, because their arrows are limited, and the problem is, they can't be reused.

When you think that if all the heroes are working together to save the world, not a single alien could attack the earth. But, that's just the problem: they can't work together. Every hero has their own character, own style and own skill, how are they able to cooperate and work together? So it's what happen to this movie, they had conflict and fought with each other, at the first battle, they were separated and lost.

At the end of the movie, it seems that the Captain America has taken the commander role, but still all of them have used their own power to fight back the aliens. It sounds so "cartoon" and funny but it's how it goes.

Good thing about this movie is, we can still see some funny scenes from it, audiences laughed at certain scenes, and it really helped to make this movie more interesting.

I would rate this movie a 4 star out of 5. I can see that they are going to make the episode 2 of this movie, but their enemy is already an alien this time, so what would be the next? another species of alien? I'll see that.

Mother's Day 2012

Another year of Mother's Day. As usual, we had dinner out. This year, we went to Sri Petaling. Anyhow, it's just a normal dinner, simple meal.

Something special is, we bought a cake from Tong Kee at Sri Petaling. Of co urse the most excited person is Boy Boy, he just loves cake (and chocolate also) so much!

Thanks to mommy for everything, wishing for her health and happiness ever after!

Gathering + Housewarming

It's been quite long time since our last gathering, some of them I even didn't see for years. For some of us, it's our 6th year since we knew each other, pretty long isn't it? And I really treasure the friendship that we have, and also appreciate that we can still keep contact with each other, still able to sit together in a table and chit-chatting.

Some of the topics that we chatted were quite 'wild', it actually reminded us of our last housewarming at Susan's house years ago. The 'truth and dare' that we were playing, and it was wild, also. Things that we shared were big, but of course, it didn't go deep enough to reveal too much 'truth'. Some started 'deep' after a few glasses of wine, and the rest just tried to put on their shield. You know, you can't be too confident about yourself to believe that you have the power to get other people to tell you everything, for what we define as "secret".

Still, I enjoyed the moment we had at the night. But unbelievable that I didn't take a single photo with my camera, it's rarely happened to me before, as you know, I like to shot, shot, shot whatever I see, especially after I played with blogs and fbs. I respect their privacy, so all the memories are just in our minds. I really wish that everybody had a great time.

Thanks Joce for your invitation and your great arrangement. And Mrs. Goh, really enjoyed talking to you that night, and you are more than just 'the wife of my ex-colleague', hopefully we can meet each other again soon. Ian & Isabelle, good to play with you, I really believe that I'm good with kids... :P And for the rest, thanks for your time and sharing, wishing you a great future and happy life.

Effect of Depression

The advanced technology nowadays doesn't really help to build up human's psychological quality. Technology can't help to reduce the stress, also can't help on human's mental development. Therefore, you will see many people are seeking psychological consultation or even treatment from the experts. But there is also a risk, some medication will bring your sickness from mental to physical, not only affects your mentality, but also your health, cause you a permanent damage.

There are some cases are brought to the court, such as Effexor Lawsuit is on-going now. If you are also suffering from it, don't worry, there are many experts will help you to overcome it and claim for your compensation.

Lousy driver

It's provoking and maddening. Some bastard driver who being so careless that caused my dad to fall from the bike, and then only paid RM30 for compensation! My dad went to the clinic nearby and paid RM50 for the medication, he still lost RM20!!

It's too bad my dad didn't take down the fella's phone number and car plate number, otherwise I would have called and asked him to pay for all these!

The other reason also because my dad didn't feel anything bad after the accident, and he still rode here and there for a few hours until he came back home in the evening. And when he came back, he asked me if I'm free on the next day to bring him to hospital for a more detailed check-up. I was a bit shocked when hearing that he actually fell down from the bike and got himself hurt, now feeling quite painful at collarbone side. Without hesitating, I decided to ask brother to drive us to the nearest government hospital rightaway, he would have a terrible pain if he waited until the next day.

Good thing is, after seeing the doctor and x-ray scanning, it's just a small scratch on the bone, no severe injury. They treated his wound on the back on his left hand, and also his left leg.

But still, he was terribly suffered from the intense pain at night, any single movement will cause a sharp of stinging pain. He couldn't even move from one position to another, even after he took the pain killer. It went better on the next day, and now he's not feeling that painful anymore, but he still feels painful when he lies down on the bed and tries to get up. It gives the pressure to his arm and shoulder, which will cause the pain to his collarbone.

I don't know which bastard was it who did this, but I really really want to warn those samseng drivers or young drivers, be more careful on the road, it's not only your lives are hanging there, but also you are threatening other people's lives. Now my dad is suffering but where is the fella now?? Will he feel guilty by doing this? I just feel angry as can't do anything more to help.

Just wish that my dad will recover very soon.

Awakening

I didn't know that I had so many friends going on the street for rally, until I really saw their photos from FB.

Yes, people nowadays have more awareness of their surroundings and living. Who said that youngsters don't care about politics? It's not only political issue, but also tightly related to ourselves, our lives and our future.

But unfortunately, we saw a more awakening and caring group of people, but not the authorities. We feel so offended and disappointed when seeing those who aimed to the people whom they are supposed to protect, and helpless when seeing they themselves are actually covered by the authorities, and helped them to tell a different story.

They didn't know that, this time, it's different from 709 last year. That time, many people just read the news and saw the photos from the internet, some may say that the photos and videos were edited, it's not telling the truth. But this time, people were walking on the street by themselves, witnessed every moment with their own eyes, even suffered from the tear gases and water cannon by their own. Not from any other media, not a story from somebody. It's their own experience, their own stories. Who would tell the lies? They thought people are idiot again?

Anyhow, I believe that most of the people had already known what's happening here. No need any so called "further investigation", that's the thing that I don't believe. People will tell the authorities what they think and how they react.
