KEYS reunion

I suppose this is my first time blogging in KLIA Airport. Anyway before Darling Ivy start being upset over my lack of frequency in mentioning her, I shall write a quick review of yesterday, the day where KEYS finally met up.. ALONE!

The day started with me going for dim sum with my family followed by a haircut and finally met Darling Jean, my driver. Apparently I was already very late for our KEYS appointment. Am so terribly sorry for that. I didn’t know they were waiting! Gomenasai! We met up for lunch at this mamak place that serve reasonable good banana leaf rice but with extremely bad service. Well, I suppose the companion is what matters there anyway. And this time, with Darling Shanny around, our usual loud chattery KEYS is back. Hhehee. Yeap, we blast the whole place with our laughter and gossips. I am pretty sure the table right next to us are forced to eavesdrop.

Obviously, a session of lunch is not enough for us to update on each other. So we drag on to Snow Flake (I think its spelt that way) for another session of gossips. Our topics? Well, the usual things that girls talk. Relationships, boys, new addition to our wardrobes, friends of friends, the bitch we currently hate and etc. But compare to a few years back, our conversation is much more work oriented. And its all about AUDIT!!! I’m so glad we are working in the same industry. At least we know what is material level and vouching is all about!

We also manage to squeeze a good hour of window shopping as well at er... Kota Damansara. I think... Imagine four old girl friends walking across the street again and again. Its almost like the scene in Sex & The City where wind blows and the girls are all laughing. The difference between us and them is instead of wind, there were lots of cars and we are definitely genuinely laughing, not faking it. In fact, we were so loud that the sales girl opens the door for us even before we reach the top of the stairs!

Anyway considering I had a dinner date with all my cousins later in the evening, I couldn’t spare any more time for dinner. Wait till I’m back next month ya! Dinner was great too!! Chat till my voice went husky.... And lots of laughing, as usual.

Life’s is so beautiful right now eh? =)

Electric shock to the car

Alright. I really need to write about this. Yesterday, 11th November 2010, I was attending one the usual events for the Mentor Program. On that same day, I also received my results and YES, I didn't get any Credit! Hehehehe.. So I was excited you see. In fact, I was nervous about it the whole day.
Anyway, Hani passed all her papers as well and so it officially meant that she is graduating! With that in mind, we planned to have a dinner out. I drove to her place in great joyous mood, went up to her house and have absolutely loud congratulation session. Like this = WOOOOOOOHHHH!!!

When we've finally done with shouting and laughing and thanking god, we decided its time for dinner. As we walk to my car, or rather Terence's car.. I realised that I didn't turn off the car light since this morning. Damn.. I was hoping that the car would still start but it didn't!! The battery died!!! It went... Grrr... Poof!

So much for a celebration..

I did panic a little but Hani was there and her cousin's car was also there. So jump start is a good idea. The unfortunate thing is neither one of us know how to do so.. It's not like they taught us in JPA or anything. So I had to make an international call to Terence who didn't pick up his call. I had to then, call his mom.. to look for his sister, who is the original owner of the car. Thank goodness, the sister managed to get Terence eventually and gave me some very detail orders to JUMP START A CAR!!!

There were times in my mind where I had an image of me flying off due to the electric shock but I did it nevertheless. And it worked!! Let's just say the rumbling sound of the start of the engine had never sounded so good. hehehehe.

Yeap, I can proudly declare I know how to jump start a car now. =)

Tika Bday + Brighton Beach

I thought it might be a good idea to blog about Tika’s Birthday when the memory of it is still a little fresh in my head. Anyway, all three of us decided to go to Brighton Beach despite the not-so-good weather forecast. The experts predicted it to be windy and expected a late shower. Let’s just say the expert really did know how to predict.

So, we started the day with a late breakfast in Coin Laundry. A great cafe with bright and cheerful ambience to enhance their image. The high ceilings and white background with a touch of nature really did made a great combination. The place was full of laughter and chattering. Despite the late arrival of the food, it was worth the wait.

Next destination is the Brighton Beach. Its not quite far away from my place actually. The main attraction is the colourful huts. They are all filled with interesting designs and tonnes of colours. Its like a mini village where the people are all extremely hippie type. But all the huts are closed. I wonder if they will open during summer to sell drinks and all, though I highly suspect that it is a storage place for the surfers. But anyway, we did spent some time walking around the beach and all. Its a great day after all.

No to yes?

Do you ever realise that every time you wish for something, it never comes true but when you stop wishing, it happens naturally? Or sometimes, the opposite of your wish will come true instead.

These things always happen to me. For example:

- I lost my purse. Kept on wishing that it’ll come back but it didn’t. Once I stop wishing and made necessary reports, it came back!

- Misplace my stuff and went crazy looking for it. Yet couldn’t find it till I gave up hope. And then, I realised that it was sitting nicely on my pillow...

- I saw this guy a few years ago.. Tall, skinny, awkward and had a very unhappy r/ship. Told myself and my friends that I will never wish to be with a guy like that. He’s now my bf... (am I’m loving it!)

- Saw this cute guy in University. Was dying to see him more and be friends with him. Didn’t happen. But when I realised he’s not so cute anymore (coz I found Daniel Henney who is much cuter), I keep bumping into him!! Even on trams!! There are thousands of trams in Melbourne, what are the odds...

- Told and convinced myself 4 years ago that I will not come to Australia coz it is over populated by Malaysian.. But I’m here now, studying my MBA..

As you can see, it is pretty obvious that I got to wish something in an opposite manner. Here’s my list of wish then:

- I wish I do not get a cute boss who is a Korean mix Caucasian and has a feeling for me.

- I do not hope that I will get a sudden lottery ticket with $1,000,000 prize.

- I hope that the weather in China and Taiwan will be freezing cold when I visit.

PS: We were playing with Terence’s new gadget. Took hundreds of these pics and I swear the pig actually look wishful!! Hehehe.

T2 After exam party~

Alright, let’s start with the day when Deakin Exam Week finishes. It was 22^nd of October 2010.

We, as in Tika, Terence and I, had already planned to go partying at this Beach Party organised by DCS. So by 7.30 pm, we are all ready to get going to buy those tickets! (Yeap, I was thinking of crashing the party).

Some snaps just before we left the house.

We reached the place around 8 pm, which is quite early in my timing but apparently, the ticket had already sold out! They asked us to come back around 9.30 pm and we did. After some very nice and needed pizzas of course. Yet, at 9.30 pm, there were still no tickets.

Getting a little frustrated, we decided to go to the City instead. We chose Fusion in the Crown. It was around 10.30 pm when we reached and as expected in a club, it was dead quiet. Thank goodness the crowd gather up and not long after, we were hitting the tabs and the dance floor. Ba da boom, ba da boom! And around 11.30 pm, Bruno texted me and told me that he’s joining us. He was supposed to be in the beach party but according to very reliable rumours, the party was crap!! Hohohoo!! So glad that we didn’t go.

Made some temporary tattoos while we were there. =)
