Working on weekend

In the office now...
Working on weekend, sien... really sien...
Thought can go shopping, go to some nature parks, and hunt for some good food, but all those plans are ruined...
No air-cond in the office on Sunday! Centralized air-cond mah. Lucky got some fans in the office. I switched on the air cond in the server room, opened the server room door so that I can get some cool air from it. Thank god my desk is next to the server room...
No air-cond is one thing, another thing is all the cafeterias around are closed! I dapao Hainamese Chicken Rice from the food court near my house for my lunch, and it smells so good! Going to eat it later only, I just had coffee and I am still full now.

I miss KL so much! 3 more days to go...
Going to spend 5 days in KL, yeah!
Can't wait to go back now...

Okay.... Need to get back to work!
Happy weekend!

A very quick update...

Singapore confirms the first H1N1 virus!

The patient is a 22-years old young lady who visited New York recently. Those who have close contact with this lady has already been quarantined, and the ministry is still searching for passengers who were on the same flight from NY.

Gosh...
I am down with flu as well...
Need to go to the doctor later.
Flu flu go away!

Edited:
Doctor said I got Viral Infection.
Asked me to go home and rest.
So, I think it is time for me to show some social responsibility...
Got 1.5 days MC. Oklah, I think I will rest half day only, then tomorrow get back to work...

Toto

Queuing for what?


Kiasu this time...
What is that? Why is everyone queuing? Got free gift izzit?
Faster go join the queue. Whatever is it, queue first, sure no rugi wan...

I joined the queue as well - Really Kiasu. Toto - SGD$5 millions! I spent $3 (6 sets of numbers) to buy a SGD$5 millions hope. If I strike... nyek nyek nyek, I am going to retire! Result is out! No more day dreaming, and that's why I am sitting in the office now! There is no such things as free lunch or free dinner. 'Moh Gum Dai Tsek Gup La Choi Gai Tiu' - There is no big frogs jumping on the street. - Old Chinese saying.

Stop building white castles in the air! Get back to work now! Want to retire before 30? Slow slow wait lah... Unless I get a millionaire husband.

Btw, I have never seen such a long queue in Malaysia in any 4D shop. It proves that Singaporean are more 'hopeful'. lol

Me and my long nails....

The reason of keeping long nail - vanity? No lah... just lazy to cut...
Remember that I had my first manicure not long ago? I am sort of addicted to it. Because it looks quite nice... But there are some disadvantages of keeping long nails...

• Ya, I can still type, but sometimes with typo. Questions often asked by ex-colleagues are "How you type with your long nails?" "You too kiam siap to buy nail cutter or what" and ex-boss always said "I am going to cut your nails with these scissors tomorrow if you dont cut it tonight". Boss, I am superstitious mah, mama said cannot cut nails at night one... :P
  
• My nails breaks easily if I don't polish them. I am no "qian jin xiao jie", I hand wash my clothes and I do housework too. When my nails breaks, it bleeds and it is really painful...
• I have problem on placing my thumb on thumb print reader. I always use the automated gate in both Malaysia and Singapore checkpoints. There was once Chloe and I went to JB for shopping. I was stuck in the automated gate because I was unable to place my thumb properly on the thumb print reader.
• I will have problem entering my office soon. Why? My company is using thumb print door lock. It will verify my thumb print before it opens the door and let me enter my office. "Open sesame" does not work for my office door. :P
• Need to spend on manicure and nail polish...
  
• Lesser PSP time! My nails are too long and it is difficult for me to press those buttons! My nail will hit the top button when I press the left button. When I try to press the CIRCLE button, but my thumb nail will hit on the TRIANGLE button. Long nail of PSP? Choose one!
• No touch screen phones! I had a hard time when was asked to use touch screen phones to do some mobile application testing!
  
• Difficult to cut veggies on the chopping board. I often accidentally cut my nails! If you found nails in my cooking dishes then... errr.... don't complain! or else, cook on your own!
  
• I have problem on taking out my moisturizer from its bottle. I need to use another nail to 'dig out' the moisturizer that stuck between my nails before applying it to my face.
• Can't really open canned drinks because I scared my nails will break. Thank god that I have good lunch mates who are willing to open it for me.
  
• Easily scratch on things. My wallet, oh gosh, I really need to send it back for polish before I tear off its skin... I always accidentally scratch on baby's skin as well. Pity the baby that my mom babysits. Sorry ya...
  

So, do you think that I should cut my long nails?

Kiasi Again......

I was wearing masks in the whole KL-SIN journey. Even in checkpoints! Since I used the automated gate, so I do not have to remove the mask and show my face to the officer. But, when I was in Johor checkpoint, the Malay officer checked my berth, I think I looked suspicious with mask, otherwise he would not have checked my berth rite? T___T

Do I look suspicious?
Opps... Spotted PSP on my working desk!No... I did not play during working hours one, but my colleague transfered a new game to my PSP this morning and I forgot to put it back into my bag.


Being stared like an alien when I was waiting for my train, but I don't care because I am too Kiasi. Malaysia has already got 2 confirmed H1N1 virus case, don't play play.... lol! And there are a lot of foreigners in the train especially Indians from India, they like to take train cos train is the main transportation in India. Before they landed in Malaysia I am sure they take flights, and it means there is a possibility that some of them are already infected with that virus. errr.... Maybe I think too much lah, but still preventions is better than cure mah...

Hanoi - Part 1

I miss Hanoi although I dont really like the place. Bad air conditions, roads are narrow, horrible traffic, found thieves in tourist attractions, don understand their language, and the list goes on......

The bad air caused my nose to bleed... T___T
Asked the tour guide why was the air so bad and looked hazy, he said:" It is fog." ME: Speechless... If the air quality is good hor, why most of the Vietnamese in Hanoi are wearing masks leh?


Hanoi - Dear's family trip in March, 2008

First destination after hotel check-in, it has been more than a year, I cant even remember the name of the place, the lake named Ho kiam lake or something if I am not mistaken...





I cant remember the name or the story about this famous red bridge. Sign of getting old... T___T




The puppet show - around RM4 for a one hour show. A very boring show.


For those who drink (I mean beer), good news for you. Heineken - USD$1 per bottle only.

Food wise: Their authentic breakfast is a kind of bread which is as hard as stone... Like French toast, just that the shape is different. For those who dont take beef, ask before u order, make sure the soup based is without beef. For those who take beef, do try their Beef Noodles...

Vietnamese coffee: Err... very bitter. By the time the coffee is brewed using the Metal drip filter, hot coffee will become warm coffee liow.... I personally dont really like it. But I bought the Metal drip filter and some Vietnamese Coffee powder...

You will not need an alarm clock in Hanoi. At 6a.m. sharp, you will be woken up by the horn. Good Luck!

Note: Not much photos taken during Hanoi trip cause I haven't started blogging yet...

Kampai

Kampai Sparkling Fruit juice...


The weather is so hot!!!
I am feeling like having a bottle of this Kampai Sparkling Fruit juice now - Non-alcoholic drinks.
Tried this during my Malacca trip and it was so refreshing.



Four types of flavour:-

• Apple
• Strawberry
• Pineapple
• Lemon

I tried the apple flavored one. Thumbs up...
In fact, wanted to buy some but can't find it in MaxValue and Coldstorage...
Anyone of you have seen this anywhere in KL? Do let me know if you know where I can buy it...


Thanks...

Not well

Is Chinese Herbal an effective way to prevent H1N1?
I was feeling sick yesterday night. Maybe I was just too tired (did not rest well during weekends). After a good night sleep, I am feeling much more better now! Phew...
I must take more Herbal Tea! I don't want to fall sick! I need to strengthen my immune system to protect against swine flu...

Flu Flu go away....

Mas Selamat nabbed

One of the headlines caught my eyes this morning when I was reading news from TheStar online.

MAS SELAMAT HAS BEEN NABBED

Mas Selamat who believed to be the leader for the jemaah Islamiah (JI) in Singapore, escaped from Singapore Changi Prison in February last year. Massive manhunt involving thousands of policemen was launched to hunt him down, but failed. He was the mastermind behind the plan to hijack an airplane and crash it into Changi airport, but failed also lah, if not he wouldn't be in the jail loh... Police also found documents and other paraphernalia that allegedly showed of their planned operation. Phew... Luckily he was arrested before he tries to 'bomb' Singapore again :P

Ok, will be a short post today, busy with work as I got to finish my work before I 'cabut'. Going back to KL to celebrate anniversary and mother's day... YEAH!!!

Human Swine Influenza (H1N1)

I am so Kiasi now...
Guess what? I am wearing mask! In fact, I bought one box of masks last weekend! Kiasi or not? Prevention is better than cure. Actually the reason I bought the masks was there are a lot of tourists in the train, as I will be in the "stuffy" cabin for about 11 hours, I did not want to take the risk, and decided to get some masks.

My colleague who sits besides me was having flu yesterday, and I got her virus, I am also having running nose now and keep on sneezing! My boss is coughing badly but he is in a separate room. Should I wear the mask whenever I go to crowded places and when I take public transport? If I do, then I will be treated like an alien, everyone will start pointing at me and say:" Look at that siow one, wearing mask, so kiasi..." I am Kiasi, so what?
Chances for the SWINE flu to be spread in Singapore is higher than Malaysia as there are more foreign investors in Singapore compared to Malaysia. Remember SARS and Bird Flu? SARS and Bird Flu cases were found in Singapore but not in Malaysia. But Malaysia got JE...

The symptoms for this H1N1 virus are high fever in the early stages followed by cough, sore throat, runny nose and sometimes breathlessness a few days later. And no evidence to suggest that swine flu can be transmitted to humans from eating pork or pork products that have been thoroughly cooked. It means we can still eat Bak Kut Teh, Bak Gua or Char Siew Pao...

Guys, wash your hand regularly with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly with disposable towels or hand dryer. You should also avoid touching someone else's used tissues and handkerchiefs...

Let's do our parts and fight the virus together!

Souvenirs from Bali...
