Golden Class Experience

Went to watch The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor with Tina some time ago. I prefer the first 2 edition of this movie. This 3rd series…well lets just say that I would be watching it over and over again like I do with the first 2 mummies. Thought Brandon Frasier is cute as ever, Evie is not Evie when they changed the actress. Give me back my Rachel Weisz waaaa…waa…!!!!!! Although it was not really a total lost, I enjoyed my first time experience of watching the movie in the Golden Class so much so that I would not want to watch a movie unless it is in the Golden Class. I have to be selective then as to what movie to watch I supposed!!!! No worries though as I hardly watch movies nowadays.

Wow, so much space

A table and plenty of drinks in Golden Class

When Jill finally gets her prezzies........

Finally after more than 2 months, I get to give Jill her prezzies. I bought her a memento from my trip to Vancouver. I gave Anne hers already and Anne had taken pictures of Jill’s and her own prezzies. It is just I did not get to see Jill to give it to her. Busy women, my friends they are.

Helping Cik Y Move...at least we tried......

Of late I lack the aspiration to write anything on this blog. Not that I don’t want to, it just that life has been a bore off late. Some how, I do feel compel to write interesting stuff in this blog and nothing of note has happened lately. (Oh well you can’t really go globe trotting around the world everyday neither can you have birthdays everyday). However, I had taken some nice pictures of some gathering and outings I went. Sometimes, they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

We were supposed to help my uncle (Cik Y) move into a temporary house since he is renovating his house. I said we were, but then again most of the move were done by hired professionals and we were there mostly watching and chit chatting. Then going out for lunch instead, as you can see from the pictures, there was not a drop of sweat there.

That is one of the things I love about my extended family, uncles, aunties, cousins and all, we are pretty close and jump at every opportunity to gather. I most look forward to the fasting month when we have our breaking fast gathering where there will be loads of eating and chit chatting. I usually use these gathering to learn from my uncles and aunties as well as my cousins. Well you have to get aspiration and get inspired from somewhere, since I definitely cannot get it from those at my work place….

Birthday, birthday, happy birthday….

It is true, if you think you want to be happy, you will somehow be happy...

Today 14 August is my birthday. Surprise, surprise I actually had a nice day today. I think it is true what people say, if you decide to have fun and be happy, sometimes you will. In actual fact, today is the culmination of a week long celebration that I declared for myself. I started my birthday week by deciding to wear new clothing for everyday of my birthday week.

My celebration began with the purchase of a Pink iPod Nano. This is a present from my brother Arif. I name it Pink Nano due to the colour, don’t ask me why I bought pink…maybe it is the girl in me. Reminds me of Melur as well. It is also known as the iPod with a thousand songs since to date I have downloaded 1084 songs in it. Thank you dear brother…… love the prezzy. Just in case you are wondering I have put it to good use as well. I have successfully gone to the gym nowadays….long may it continue.

The Pinky of A thousand Songs

Then Muzi gave me her present as well. These are all given way way way before my birthday….Now I have to figure out when and where to wear the prezzy so that it will be shown in its best light.

I think this will look nice with the new coat I made at Sandra. Only thing is the coat is still at Sandra's..

Then today I decided that I will look the nicest… purple baju kurung and contrasting green accessories. Purple and green actually works, I was inspired. Here are the proofs, nice or not? Check out the green handbag… the source of much envy of many people.

Purple and Green?????? I was inspired

This was the shoes that I was to wear but when put together the colour scheme did not go.. oh well you win some you loose some

Just before I went of to work Angah called and sang happy birthday to me. Little that I know that a bigger surprise is in store for me courtesy of them, so let’s leave this story for later.

When I arrived at work a couple of my staffs greeted me happy birthday and there was a present waiting on my chair. Nice one guys!!!! Then I got a further 2 cards and some vouchers. Yeah… this looks promising and I know already that we will be having a birthday lunch.

The whole world knows my love for shopping, so they gave me vouchers to shop..

After lunch off to an insignificant meeting (insignificant if put in context of my birthday celebration that is..) After I came back, they were calling for a cake cutting ceremony.

Go ahead madam, cut that cake

Celebrate, celebrate and celebrate some more

When I got to the balcony I saw this huge bouquet of flowers. I knew it was mine but I am absolutely ecstatic when I saw from whom it was… the senders came all the way from Vancouver. Thanks Roy, Angah, Melur & Maman for the flowers. It was really icing on the cake to my fantastic birthday so far. And Maman, yes Mak Long also wishes that she can be in Vancouver in 4 sleeps.

Big big big bouquet bring an even bigger pleasant surprise

Now if only I can get him to remember my birthday and wrap himself as a birthday gift…now that would top it all

All in all, this year is the best birthday for a while now. I blew my birthday candles twice today and my wishes are the same… may at the same time next year I will be writing my Annus Mirabilis

I never learn do I…? Bukit Tinggi August 26 & 27 Part Two

Jungle Tracking

It was an experience I can tell you that. But I am proud of myself. Out of 13 people, I got number 11. Yes, yours truly was not last!!! But it took every ounce my determination and mental strength to finish the track. I cannot believe it, they did not just take us through the normal jungle terrain, they had to show and make sure we experience the terrain near the river where it was slippery and right at the edge. There were long stretches where I had the hills at one side and very deep gorges on the other.

Guess what the footpath where I was standing, the size, just enough to put both your feet side by side. Anyhow, most of the times a picture will tell a thousand stories… so here are some pictures…

Me after the jungle tracking... hey I am happy for I survive

Hello hello I was not last Ok!!!!!

The guide who helped me imensely.... they were patient... and kind
