"Next Year Baby"

Next Year,
Things are gonna change,
Gonna drink less beer
And start all over again
Gonna pull up my socks
Gonna clean my shower
Not gonna live by the clock
But get up at a decent hour
Gonna read more books
Gonna keep up with the news
Gonna learn how to cook
And spend less money on shoes
Pay my bills on time
File my mail away, everyday
Only drink the finest wine
And call my Gran every Sunday
Resolutions
Well Baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answers probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do,
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years
Next Year, Next Year, Next Year
I gonna tell you, how I feel
Well, resolutions
Baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answers probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do,
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years
Next Year, Next Year, Next Year

KP 2008 wrap up

Well, 2008 is ending in less than 2 hrs... i'm gonna make a quick wrap up

it had been a year with ups and downs (like any other year >_<) i've finally graduated from college and earned my bachelor's degree

which means... GOOD BYE late nights, GOODBYE caffeine overdose, GOODBYE mathematics...bla bla bla



have a peep of my desk back in the dorm...


*notice that the board is empty*

our dear ministry of higher education and mdec decided that brainy (hehehe) ppl should be sent to one of the worst part of the world.... INDIA!!!



on the other hand...it's a good place to lose some weight and detox!!!
you get diarrhea like alternate days!!!

luckily, the indians are considerate enough to put us into one of the global education center...
did i say Global? sure i did!


and it was like a luxury retreat too~



and of course i wont miss the chance to cramp myself in to the notourious transportation of the country~ the train!



and give myself a treat the bollywood style!



upon my return from the colourful land, i've move to the west..(huh?) not that west.. it's west Malaysia!

and got myself a job... my job revolves around with great ppl..


and i've welcome some new faces into my life...


*l-r: Patsy Pang (the master mind), Chee Onn (pat's friend), Ay Wen (sweet sweet girl), MinChen Chai (kch lang), Julian Lim (savvy waiter), Kelvin Ng Boon Heng (the man we all look up to), me, Adrian Wong (the gps), Synn Li Lim (do not mess with the HR), Gen Wong (i'll go t-joel for your sake), Walter (jazz fan) and not forgeting beng uncle, (not in pic)...
these are the people i'll cherish for a life time.

to sum up, 2008 is my first step into the real world. it has brought drastic changes into my life. thanks to all friends and family who are always there for me...

bla bla bla.. bla bla bla..

okay... now i have less than an hour to write my 2009 resolution...

later~

A short trip to Doulos @ Kuching Port

Doulos has arrived in Kuching on the 10th December from Singapore and will be departing on the 3rd January 2009.

We were supposed to visit Doulos the week before but it was postponed to last night. Initially, Edwin was supposed to be tagging along for this trip but he ended up having a dinner with his family. So there's just Jason, Sylvia and Kelly for the trip. Well, that's not ALL. Kelly's first question when i got in Jason's car was... "Sylvia...do you love kids?" I was stoned at that moment. xD Didn't know how to answer at first...but my answer later on was "Yes". She was actually asking our permission to bring her nieces and nephew along with us to Doulos. And OF COURSE...i said YESSS again. Omg...is like i'm accepting a marriage proposal...LoL. Thus, we have a bunch of darlings from Kelly's family to tag along with us last night...

Eslie, Ezra, and Eliza. That's them at After 3 while waiting for us to have our dinner before heading to Doulos. Ezra is so funny and a CHATTERBOX...wow...he reminded me when i was just 5 years old and i can talk none stop like him especially in school. My lodge school teacher always complain about me to my mom saying that i'm a chatterbox and i'm a busy body in class. For my mom, she didn't see that as a bad thing...so she didn't nag me about it. :D Haha.. Then Eslie is so funny with her questions "Is the ship here yet?" "When is the ship arriving?" "What time is the ship leaving?" Then, we have Eliza who is the eldest. She's very sweet and mature.

So after dinner..Jason drove to Doulos....and when we reached.....

The beautiful big Doulos ship is waiting for us...

It was raining......luckily it wasn't that heavy.

We see more people going down the ship than going up... xD And it was only 8 something at night.

Jason walking on the ship towards the hall to meet up with Kelly and the adorable bunch. (The only photo of Jason from this trip...but showing his backside) Noticed the couple in front of us has an umbrella and it's the guy holding the umbrella for the girl? We didn't have an umbrella so Jason faked one out of nowhere pretending that we have an umbrella too. Yay....but i can still feel the rain drops on my head. *Singz* ♪♫ Raindrops keep falling on my head...♪♫

Kelly's Darling Ezra bought a few books...which their father went "why you buy such books for?" or something like that...hehehehe. Apparently the books Ezra chose to buy were just too easy for him.

Btw, just FYI...Doulos has mainly Christian related and children's books, colouring books and souvenirs. It's not like MPH or Popular where you can get teenager's novels and adult romance or fiction books.

Kelly kuku (means aunty in chinese)...with her DarLinGs in Doulos...

It was stuffy and humid in there...pheew~

After paying for Ezra's books, it was ice cream timeee for all of us....except Sylvia. Sorry..i can't have any ice creams that day even though i really want to. :)

Saved by the hand....

Sylvia: No, Jason!! You're not taking any dumb photos of me again!


After Doulos...all of us were debating in the car on where to go after that...and Jason had to drive so slooowwww until we made the decision to go to Merdeka Palace Hotel (where the DarlinGs are staying with their parents). It was Ezra's hypmotizing skill by repeating "Merdeka!! Merdeka!! Merdeka!!" in the car until we all went "OKKKKK!!!". We chit chat with Kelly's brother and his wife in the hotel room, then Jason had so much fun with the kids especially Ezra, and the hide and seek at the lift...hahaha that one was funny. And i loved the chocolates from Australia~ Thanks, Kelly.....the night would be so different without you and your DarlinGs.

This is my last post for this year as i'm flying off to KL tomorrow.
Take care peeps...muahhss huugsss~

I'll miss you all~~
DO CALL ME!!!!

Sematan Wrap-up!.

Ok.. this has been a really really long post.. 3 posts for an event. a bit too much even for myself.. N I don't know why, but I am really really lazy at work today. Nothing seem to be important or urgent when they obviously are. I am probably too tired entertaining Ezra, Eliza and Eslie, the 3 cutest kids.. playing lift hide n seek n ezra's hit Jason coco coz the ladies are weak!.. LOLs.. anyway... back to Sematan: hmm.. so under christine's supervision and her manager's bad sense of time in direction, or maybe just a whole car of drivers, literally! everyone with different idea of how to go, left here or right there.. n we end up driving 1 hour or so.. HUNGRY! .. looking for a blue house near a bus stop which would be significantly easy to find and would magically bring us to the waterfall..... Guess what.. there are like millions!! of bus stopsssss, from wood to concrete to a hut to anything by the road.. and to make matters worst.. every house is in shades of blue.. greenish blue, dark blue, a bit of blue.. My goodness.. we're lucky to not starve to death looking for the beautiful waterfall... and everyone is praying its worth the effort n time n hunger ( I stressed on hunger cause I was really really hungry!)

Finally, we actually found it by a house full of ppl pointing towards the waterfall, drove in doubtfully, to the end and parked the car and then a 10mins walk to the waterfall in deep yucky yellowish muddy road, well u get the picture.. not forgetting our picnic basket towel n etc..

its not the best road in the world but we had fun walking... n talking n occassionaly a lil tease n a lot of laughter..singing songs...even made up songs to sing and laugh at it (sylvia added).. its just fun when ur with frens no matter how stupid surrounding conditions are!

so minutes of hike later, and some bad direction at a fork which lead us to a pepper plantation.. we finally REACH the destination! YES!! HALLELUJAH! Thank god, thanks to my mother, my producer, the crew, n ohh the director.. eyes watery.. that kinda thank you. Phew~~ finally... but then there were more rocks to hike.. but we found a perfect place for a picnic.. not by the river, not by the waterfall.. but straight in the middle of the stream.. on a huge rock surrounded by schools of fish, n also some prawns... just imagine PARADISE.. well of caz we had food! yesh!!



Lets talk abt the food.. these are some delicious sandwiches, a lot of ham n cheese, ice-berg lettuce, mixed to perfection.. not forgetting some home-made honey mustard sauce.. not as good as what you can get from Subway.. but its still great for me at least! xp. oh yea kelly mixed the honey mustard! but most importantly, ham and cheese, honey roasted ham! i'm hungry now!



hmm, maybe its the camera.. or the person who uses the camera.. whoever he is!!.. shessh!.. this waterfall is gorgeous!! but then the photos just cant capture it.. but lemme tell u.. ITS SO COLD in there.. and its a secret location.. Not everyone knows abt it.. and may I say, WE FOUND IT...

we had fun.. worn ourself out! n I just gotta post the next few photos.. WAHAHAHA (I'm evil)


and that's all folks.. oMG.. that's all for this year!? what? I'm just getting started.. And we're welcoming the next year already!.. WAT!! ok ok.. next up.. the New Year~ I hope we have something on for that.. Syl went to KL and left us alone here.. We'll just have fun without her then.. yak yak yak! tata~ till another time.. I'll see you when I see you! (I'm not paying copyright for that) ;)

Pre-Christmas Dinner on 14th December 2008 (Western style) - Part II

Welcome to Part II of our Pre-Christmas Dinner on 14th December 2008 at Sylvia's house.

As usual...Girl Girl in the middle of the kitchen while we are working on our dinner. Our Santa-chef Jason and Miss Cinderella Kelly both were busy with their task.



Santa-Chef Jason saying HI to the camera...with the mushrooms fried with onion for our mushroom soup~

And a video of US with the french fries baked in the oven...and Christine singing "Let it Snow" while taking the video...then at the end she's shouting "AHH" before the video ends...what happened??!?? If not mistaken I think someone tickled her..hahaha. Strangely...I realized I was asking "Are you taking a video??" .. just like how Edwin asked the last time we had our cooking session. Gosh...like cousin brother, like cousin sister...hahahaha.



This is the fun part...we were kinda bodoh about how to release the cork from the wine bottle...and the result???


I present to you...Laughing Christine...sitting on the floor...with this look.

Whole body... Closer.... & close up!!



Lesson learnt when wanna open the wine's cork!! Soak the cork with the wine first before using the corkscrew to pull it up. If not..the cork will never come out. Then...Christine with lots of patient, using a knife to dig the cork out...and POOF...the wine splashed all over the place and on her face... xD We all enjoyed laughing at her though...


Our table with our food...



And close up on our food...yummy-licioussss~~~

A VIDEO of our FOOD...and how the environment is like...with the Christmas Song on.




Each photo of us during dinner...

Looking too normal...


Be like Jason and Sylvia!!!! Dare to be different.. xD



Lastly...Our DESSERT time~

Our dessert for the night was Chocolate with Strawberries and Vanille Ice Cream~
First time using my mini chocolate fondue...given by Cody a.k.a. Karipop as my Birthday present this year. ^^




Indulging ourselves...





I really had fun that night...and I am sure you all did too~~

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
From all of us....

and also not forgetting Ah Ping in KL too...

OMG...YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL & GORGEOUS PINGGG!!!!

Ok..don't scold me for simply taking your photo, edit and post it in advance..hahaha.
But it's true...you're damn pretty and cute in this photooooo~~~ Can i kiss you??!? xD xD xD

I LOVE YOU ALL...xoxo...from SYLVIA!!!!
