Plan for a new kitchen

My mum has been complaining about the old and dirty kitchen for quite a long time, since many years ago. We have been living here for about 25 years, and we hardly had it renovated, especially the kitchen, it’s quite simple and crude. After cooking for over 20 years in the kitchen, the wall is a bit cracked, and there are dirt and oily stains all over it, even the lighting tube in the ceiling also covered with dirt.

In my mum’s plan, she would always want to get a new kitchen cabinet to store the dishes and place the oven, blender and all those kitchen appliances. The most important thing is the cooker hood, so that she won’t get the oily smoke smears her face after cooking.

And also, the sink is very small and a bit rusty, if there is budget, she prefers to get a stainless steel sinks so that it will last longer. Stainless steel is easier to clean and maintain, and you don’t need to worry about the rust and oil as it’s quite easy to be removed.

Our kitchen is really too old and not only my mum, we all really think that it should get renovated, we have to get a cleaner and neater one. But budget of course is our main concern; anyhow it’s in our plan. Hopefully we could get it done in the near future.

Penang Trip + My Manager's Wedding

It's said a 'trip', but actually we didn't go many places. Of course, by the time we walked out from the hotel, it's already afternoon, where could we go?

Anyway, our main purpose here is to attend our Big Brother (manager)'s wedding, so visiting has become not so important for some. The only place of interest we visited, was the reclining buddha temple.


The place we stayed, Good Hope Inn Hotel.


The antiques placed in the hotel.


Reclining Buddha temple (Wat Chayamangkalaram)


Beautiful sea...


This photo is very blur because of my lousy camera. But anyhow I like this picture very much. Maybe I look better in blur...haha

Thanks Adrian for inviting us to such a wonderful dinner, and thanks for giving me an oppty to join such a unforgetable clubbing party. Congratulations to our BIG BROTHER and CONGRATULATIONS on your wedding~~!!

First day @ new place

It's the first day I moved to West wing.

I still don't really like the place, but with my good adaptability, I didn't really feel uncomfortable. The only thing is, I gotta be more aware of my environment because anyone could come nearby from my back.

Who said the network here is better than the other side? It's the most annoying thing for this place. Other than the gpp is still accessible, nothing else is faster, even worse. But the bad news is, we still need to cope ourselves in this kind of environment because we have no choice.

So, what to do? Just stay with it lah!

Moved again

It's already our third move, since I joined.

From old building Phase 1, to Phase 2. Then moved to new building, East Wing. And now, it's West Wing.

If you asked me, I prefer East Wing for sure. It's brighter and cleaner looking in East Wing, even fresher air. But here, I wonder if I'm too sensitive because I keep feeling bad smell around here.

And also because of it has been comparted to several small rooms, our space has become smaller and quieter, even a small sound echoes. Quite scary actually.


My old seats, due to time constraint I wasn't able to take a photo of my 'organized desk' before I moved. This was after I've packed everything and waiting for the trolley.


My new desk, I haven't unpacked my stuffs yet. It's 'roadside' again. I hate 'roadside'... but it's set by my boss... no objection.... :(

Reclone Office PC...

I've decided to reclone my office's pc today, and hopefully it'll improve my computer speed.

Can you imagine that? I'm still keeping a out-of-date pc with minimum memory and disk space, in an international company like I'm working with, and what I do, is supporting users and business partners.

You can expect that I keep saying sorry to user, "I'm sorry, our network is very slow...." How ashamed it is!

I don't think request for a pc upgrade is possible in the current situation, but at least hopefully format PC and free out some of my disk space and force it to work faster. However, after finished cloning it today, I don't think it works, because my harddisk allocation has already used 16GB out of 37GB, and I still have some more softwares to install... and I can expect after that it'll be less than 50% again.

Gosh~~ anyway I can maximize my disk usage with the poor specs of my pc?

Quote for the Week

Currently I found this was sticked on the wall in the elevator area. It sounds that it reflects what management's thinking: expecting their employees to put extra more and more efforts to contribute the company. However, if you look at those successful people, it's true that they really take 200% efforts on their work before they success.

I believe that you won't really lose anything for your effort, as long as it helps you to learn in return. It just as an additional credit for yourself and in the future it'll become your advantages to others. If you keep haggling over every ounce, at least the person who lose is you.

How to Accept Blame when You Deserve It

I like this quote:

How to Accept Blame when You Deserve It
Things go wrong sometimes. There are times when it's accidental. There are times when it's someone else's fault. But at the times when you know you are at fault for the problem, the mature and responsible thing to do is stand up and own the mistake, accept the consequences, and be part of the solution to the problem resulting from your mistake.

Sometimes people just never learn from mistake, or even refuse to admit it. You don't need so much courage to admit your mistake, it just depends on how you accept it, take it as a lesson and learn from it. No wisdom is required, it's just whether you want to improve or not.
