No mood

I'm in bad shape these few days...

Received my performance feedback review and it was sucks!!! But in fact, it's what i predicted but i don't wish it comes truth. But anyhow, i did! DARN!!

I started to hate my current job. It's very hard to work when you hate whatever you are doing now. But, i have a son waiting for me at home and recently we decided to buy a house and the deal actually came truth. So i cannot walk out from my job. Frankly, if i don't have any commitment, i will walk out from where i'm working.

No matter what, life still move on, cannot let the small hiccup ruin my life, i have a cute little pie waiting for me at home.

Yippie, finally...we bought landed property

After few months of house hunting activity, finally....we found it...we found it

Actually, this house never come into our consideration, and it's totally out of our initial budget. And how come i'm so happy and excited with it? The story is...

One fine day, me who has itchy hand, flip through the advertisement in the local Chinese newspaper and saw the advertisement on a 2 1/2 storey house for sale. So, i just call up for fun, ask for the price and schedule for house viewing.

So, on that day, me and hubby went to see the house. First glance, we like it. The owner renovated and maintain the house nicely. The down side is the price that the owner ask for is very high, then we negotiate, negotiate and negotiate...and even send my accountant mom to talk to the owners who both husband and wife are tuition center owner. When need to deal with teacher, most people will a bit afraid as usually they are really good in doing mathematics, and this is what we faced. That's why i asked my accountant mom to talk to the owner....and after few days' negotiation, finally, we came to a conclusion...YES, we got it!!!

In return, one of the request from the owner is, he will continue to rent the house with us until his new house is ready. He bought a new house at Bay Garden at Queensbay. So, we will let him stay in the house until his new house is ready, but of course, he will be tenant and we will be the owner and...we will collect rental from him!!! wwwuuuaaahhhh, he will help us to pay half of the housing loan for at least 6 months, better than nothing...:p

And...what will happen to our current apartment? Hubb and I love this apt sooo much, and we decided to keep this apt and probably rent it out. Anyone who come accross to know anybody want to rent an apt, can let me know ya :)

GOD hear me or co-incident?

After i fully breastfeed my lil boy for 1 yr, hubb gives green light that i can slowly start to kick in formula milk.

Somehow rather, the process to introduce formula milk and stop expressing milk seems to be a smooth sailing process to me.

I had bad fever on the day after my lil boy's BIG ONE. I need to take fever and flu medicine. I hate to take medicines while breastfeeding. Furthermore, the medicine will make me drowsy and dry up a bit of my milk supply, so hubb and I decided to give formula milk a try as i afraid all my frozen milk will get consumed up. To our surprise, our lil boy take formula milk happily. And since i need more rest at night, so i stop direct feed my lil boy as well. He doesn't make any fuss when he can't latch on and sleep. He took the formula milk from bottle, then go to his lala-land happily. Maybe he can sense that mummy is sick, so he want to let mummy have good rest.

As for stop expressing, i don't like this very much. The incident that make me stop expressing is, my lil boy was infected by airborne virus, and he vomit, fever, diarrhea for almost a week. I'm busy taking care of him, worry about his condition, and thus, no mood to express milk. And since there isn't any pain at my breasts when i didn't express milk for 3 days, so i take it done deal, am not going to express anymore.

So today is 8th day of not expressing milk, no engorgement, no breast pain..I would like to announce the closure of Joanne's Milk Factory!

Lil Kelvin, you will still get to take mummy's breast milk, but those are frozen. The frozen breast milk can last you for around 2 weeks. After that, there will be no more mummy' s milk milk ya!

I do enjoy the breastfeeding moment that i have with my lil one, but life goes on, i need to stop it sometime. And seems like GOD hear me..or it's just co-incident?

You and your kid

Nowadays, lots of parents getting more and more kiasu, they like to compare their kid with others. As long as their kid loose out in some aspect compare to the other kid, they will feel uneasy and start to think how to make their kid smarter than others.

Come to think of it, our own childhood is so fun, so meaningful. We don’t have to learn piano, ballet, drawing at young age. In fact, most of us pick up additional language such as mandarin or English at school. However, nowadays parents tend to speak in more than 1 language to their kids. And hardly you will see kids playing at the backyard with other kids. Most of the time, the kid will be sitting at home, staring computer, playing computer games. Where does the childhood happiness goes to?

I still remember, my childhood is, I spend most of my time playing with my cousins. We will run around in the house, the compound beside the house. To us, we don’t have to worry mummy will come after us with a big cane, ask us to go study MRC, abacus, bla bla. Me and my cousin like to play cooking game, we will use small pen knife and cut the tree leaves into small pieces, imitate what grandma do while she’s preparing food for us. I will run around the house with my teddy bear, whereas nowadays, hardly will see all these scene.

Will I become one of the kiasu parent? I don’t know, seriously I don’t know. One side of me telling me don’t overstress the child, the other side of me telling me if I don’t build good foundation for my kid, he will suffer when he goes to school…..

I extracted this from one of the file that a colleague of mine recently share with me,
Mainly it’s saying, if you love your kid, let them be themselves, don’t program them according to what you want them to be, let them explore their own capability and be themselves!

I need new curtain

The old curtain in the living room has been with us since we moved into our apt. I think it's time for us to change it as the color not as nice as before. I found there is a website providing instruction on making roman curtain. Uh huh, u think i will do it myself? YES, you are absolutely wrong! hahaha!

Am going to get some so called professional to do it for me. It looks easy but trust me, for people like me who doesn't know how to operate the swing machine well, the roman curtain will ended up into roman dustbin! Don't waste our time and effort, pay and get some expert to do it for us!

This is another site which provide some sample of curtains. I love roman curtain and roller blind soooo much. Anyway, don't think i will go for roman curtain in my living room. The simple and conventional curtain will do as i already have one roman curtain at my second living room cum dining area, and roller blind in my master bedroom. Price for roman curtain and roller blind a bit costly, but of course, if i can afford, i wish to have roman curtain for my entire house.

Bye bye, my dear dog

It was a super tough day for me. As i need to make the toughest decision, to put or not to put my dear dog to sleep.

On 27th Sep evening, suddenly we heard Maggie scream in pain and lye on the floor motionless, gosh, it's really scared me like hell, luckily dad was at home. He quickly massage for Maggie, gave her some warm water to drink, wrap her in towel and slowly, Maggie recover. Geez, what's wrong with her...For the next few days, she doesn't has good appetite to eat, but slowly, her appetite gets recovered. So i thought she's ok and didn't bring her to see vet.

Wed 31st Oct , when i back from work, dad told me he send Maggie to vet, when i look at Maggie, gosh, she's real sick! When i walk to her, she can't even open her eyes, i called her name out and she lift her head up and try to open her eyes to look at me. Oh gosh, she really look sick. I was hoping she will gets better after the treatment from first vet.

Thu 1st Nov, when i back from work, Maggie looks more and more sick. She refuse to take any food besides water. She has no strength to walk properly but she still try her best to walk to get water from her bowl. I keep telling her to be tough and i will bring her to see another vet on Friday since i'll be off from work.

Fri 2nd Nov, after having dim sum breakfast, i headed to parents house, still Maggie's condition not improving. So i send her to Dr Pava's vet. When Mrs Dr Pava sees her, her first reaction was "oh, she's really sick!", "she's dehydrated terribly!" She then proceed to check on Maggie and initial suspect was UTI, and i feel a bit relief after hearing that, but deep down in my heart, i don't it's not as simple as UTI. But i choose to believe that she's having UTI problem, and hope that she will gets better after it. Mrs Dr Pava gave her 2 injections, one is to provide glucose, nutrients to her as she's not taking any food since Wed, and the other injection is through cervix into womb. She seems a bit energetic after the injection and she can open her eyes better. I kept injecting dog food to her every 4 hrs.

Sat 3rd Nov, when i reached parent house, my the other dog, Boyboy greeted me with crying sound. Gosh, i started to get panic as from my past experience, it's not a good sign. Previously, when i heard such thing from any of my dogs, means something bad will happen to one of them. When Pipi and Maggie Sr almost passed away, Bobo behave real weird and keep crying softly. I quickly rushed into the house and didn't see Maggie in the house, even more panic, then aunt told me Maggie is outside the house and she diarrhea earlier. Gosh, diarrhea, Mrs Dr Pava said she CANNOT vomit or diarrhea as she's already terribly dehydrated. So again, i rushed her to Dr Pava's vet. This time Dr Pava attended us and when he sees Maggie, he kept quiet for a while, then he listen to her heartbeat, then he shake his head and tell me,

"if you ask for my opinion, frankly i will tell you, no point treating her as her internal organs not functioning well anymore. I will give you 2 suggestions,

1st suggestion, give her daily treatment which will be injecting glucose and nutrients to her, to keep her away from dehydration. And also high dosage of antibiotic for the liver infection

2nd suggestion, put her to sleep"

My mind suddenly blank. Actually i do think of put her to sleep when i sees her suffer so bad, and of course i wish i'm wrong. When i heard 2nd suggestion from Dr Pava, i really don't know what to do. I told him let me go back and think about it and will come back to him later if i decided. Dr Pava is very kind, he keep explaining to us and keep telling us if it's due to religious and we don't want to go for opt2, it's ok. But at the same time, he kept telling us, no point go for opt1 as we will suffer and the dog too. Luckily i manage to control myself in vet's clinic, didn't let my tears burst out. So me and hubb brought Maggie back and i can't hold on to my tears anymore.

When we reached h0me, i called dad and he said go ahead with opt2. So in order not to let Maggie suffer any further, me and hubb brought her back to vet again. This time, we brought Mimi along too as mom said she saw Mimi vomit a bit. We afraid Mimi may get infected by bacteria. When i carry Maggie into the car, she cried softly in pain. She cried because pain or she know what i'm going to do to her? When we reached Dr Pava's clinic, Maggie really restless, she don't even move at all, and her breathing gets slower and slower and she seems like losing her body heat. Dr Pava gave her 2 injections, first is to relax her muscles, make her feel comfortable and second injection is to stop her brain and lung. After her first injection, i can see Maggie breathing normally, and slowly, she passed some urine. After few mins, Dr Pava gave her second injection which will stop her brain and lung. Very soon after second injection, within 1~2 seconds, there isn't any abdomen movement. Maggie IS GONE! She is so sick that she doesn’t even take her last breath, gasp for oxygen!!

Although the whole procedure took about 5 mins, but i felt that it's more than that. Dr Pava said the owner is requested to be there when the vet put the pet to sleep. As he wants the owner to witness the whole procedure, it's not a painful procedure like what others describe.

One thing that touched my heart is, when Maggie is sick, Mimi sort like taking care of her, and the night before she passed away, Mimi went to see Maggie and lead Maggie towards her pillow, asked Maggie to sleep on her pillow. And where Mimi sleeps? This little rascal she then sleep on sofa in living room.

Dear Maggie,

I hope you wont bangry with mummy for making such a decision. You are such a wonderful dog to all of us. We love you very much.

I still remember the moment we brought you back from the seller. You are such a small dog, i started to fed you with one small dog biscuit and very soon you started to eat one small bowl of dog biscuit, then one medium bowl of dog biscuit. There is one time that mummu needs to work late for quite sometime, so everyday you will help mummy to "entertain" Terence. Everyday you will wait for him at the main door, when you sees him there, you will wave and back, asking us to open the gate for him.Then you will wait for him outside the room when he changes his pants, then you will wait for him outside the bathroom when he takes his shower. Then you will sit beside him quietly when he takes his meal. After that you will sit beside him when he watches TV. You are such a wonderful dog!

May you will have a better life outwhere. Rest in peace, my dearest dog!

My story

Come, let me share some "interesting" story with you guys!

Today, i had a "meaningful" conversation with my manager.

M : Manager
J : Me

Ok, 2:15pm, after back from wee wee, i went to her place. She showed me one of the Green Belt project documentation from one of our colleague. She read skip read skip the document, and towards the end,

M: Probably you can join this Green Belt project as they need someone to assist them in pulling data. The current guy that who suppose work on this is overload
J: (Quiet, as i don't feel like talking to her)
M: Well, as the project member for this, you need to know the procurement data as they are doing data clean up now. (Her reaction was like , "i don't think u can handle it!")
J: ( Again, i don't talk, just force myself to smile back at her)
M: How familiar are you with the PLM database
J: (thought of telling her i uses PLM for almost 6 yrs!) Errm, i uses PLM database when i was in Planning team
M: Which table you uses?
J: (Hello, there is tonnes of tables in PLM) Mostly planning related to generate planning report
M: (ask me to learn link table again! duh!) You need to master the data model and probably need to link multiple tables to get the data
J: (always ask me to link table! duh!! sian loh!) Ok ok
M: If i ask the guy to give u his original SQL script, will it help? Are you able to execute it?
J: (Wei, hit the execute button will do mah! Tot i am really that computer illiterate!) Well, better, i don't have to start to write the query from scratch!
M: You think about it and let me know your decision
J: (wah lau-eh, ask me to think and consider, thought she's suppose to assign thing for me to do???) Ok
M: If you don't want to involve in the project, probably i will reject the request, because we have resource constraint
J: (WHAT???!!!!!! Blame on me pula! Again, smile at her) Ok

Next topic
M : What do you think about current arrangement?
J: Well, not much involvement in project, so i can't comment much or feedback much
M: Oh yeah yeahhh.....we need content expert in the projects
J: (ok fine!!! what else u expect me to say when u keep saying me not content expert for procurement! Force me to go over procurement, leaving my planning knowledge behind and now keep hitting me saying i don't have procurement knowledge!)
M: Do you receive the face to face meeting invitation?
J: I think i do...but not for next week, it's week after next
M: You are not the official resource for the project, so you are not invited to next week's meeting. Let me check with the meeting organizer whether you can join the meeting or not as you know, you are not the official resource, so it's not go good for you to join them in meeting room
J: (DUH!!!!!!!! me not official resource!! When u guys force me to come over, you said i will be helping in this project!!) It's ok, since me not official resource!
M: Do you think i should ask BH to loop you in into his emails and meeting with the US folks?

Cool down, me going back now to see my sweet little pie!!!

A Day in the Zoo

**All the characters in this blog are merely fictional,any similarities to anyone in real life are mere coincidence**

One sunny day,since i have nothing better to do, so i go to the nearby "AT" Zoo.
When i was there, i saw a parrot talking to a goat by the name "Scape", in another word, parrot talking to a scapegoat. Their conversation is roughly on the allegation that the chicken in the jungle made on the scapegoat, and the parrot become the messenger between the two. The chicken in the jungle is so high class that she can't walk out from the jungle and talk to the scapegoat.

P- Parrot
C- Chicken in the jungle
S - Scapegoat

P : I talked to C after our conversation, and she understand the whole situation
already, are you ok with that?
S : (Of course not ok lah!!! Who will feel happy after being stab for unknown reason)
Well, to me, i personally feel that if someone happen to make a unjust
accusation on another person, he/she should apologies personally with that
person and not go through someone else to pass the message
P: (As expect, the P will side C) Oh no no no, she didn't make any accusation on
you,she just ask
S: Well , to me, making a statement without any solid reason or proof is consider
as accusation. And why at the first place she make such a statement on me?
P: Oh, she saw you few times coming in late and ONE TIME go off early
S: Oh, the few times coming in late and ONE time go off early , so she can simply
make a conclusion!
P: expected again! show the chicken look!) Oh, maybe that day when i talked to you,
my tone not very good, i apologies if i am too rough
S: Oh, no no, your tone is just nice, you don't seems offense me or anything. It's
her statement that make me feel uneasy

Scapegoat kept telling the parrot that her tone is just nice, nothing wrong with her tone, yet the parrot keep saying it's her problem, bla bla bla...and finally...

P: I apologies on behalf of the chick
S: NO!!! It's nothing relate to you. It's between me and her NOT me and you!!!
P: (Keep quiet for a while! Again, apologies again!)
S: (DUH!!!! Waste of breath! I better go back and sleep!) OK!

Then Scapegoat walk away.....

Come to think of it, it sounds quite similar to our real life,
Chicken in the jungle - Manager's Manager
Parrot - Manager
Scapegoat - Employee

Manager and their manager always RIGHT! They can say anything they want. And with the word SORRY, they will expect we forget whatever they said. BUT...If we do something wrong and no matter how we say SORRY to them, we are dead meat! They will REMEMBER our FAULT FOREVER and EVER, until the day they die!

I remember mom taught me, we need to apologies to people sincerely, personally if we happen to do something wrong on the other person. We cannot just walk away and hope that time will clear off everything.

Hmm...could it be, the higher you climb, the more things need to be downloaded into your brain, so you delete the morale value that we learn from school???

I want to be a manager

Before today, if you ask me whether i want to be a technical person or people manager, without hesitate, i will tell you, "I want to be technical person!" But, remember, there is 2 fix constants in this world, which is 1. People will die 2. Change. So AFTER yesterday's "meaningful" conversation with my superior, i change my mind, I WANT TO BE MANAGER!!!!! You must be wondering what makes me change my mind. Let me tell you few good points to be manager.

1. Manager doesn't need to know much
2. Manager can SIMPLY make their OWN ASSUMPTION BASED ON WHATEVER they think
3. Manager can come to work late and go off early, reason "busy with off hr meeting"
4. Manager can do WHATEVER they like with justification "It's good for you and the company"

So, what should i wait any longer? Since there is so many good points to become manager, of course i want to change my career path. Ok, let me tell you what makes me change my mind!!!!! Pls turn your cellphone, pager, house phone, tv, radio off....sit back relax and enjoy yourself!

Yesterday, my manager (M) told me, her boss (YS) ask her what's wrong with me.
Before this, let me briefly describe the character of the story to you, like what we used to do when we watch movie.
LYS - she's a dungu manager, where she has SINGLE eye lids but she likes to put 2 patches of
BLACK eye shadows on her eyes, so from far, people thought she has BIG EYES...hiaks.
M - she is our manager but she act like highly paid admin to us, everything also don't know
J - me me me....
M is my manager, J is me

M: YS asked me "What's wrong with Joanne, how come she comes to work late and leave
early?"
J: (i puzzled and immediately piss off by this statement) Huh? I usually come in before most
of our team mate and usually the last one to leave.
M: Hmm..then how come YS says so?
J: (Oh..i know) Oh, could it be last Friday she sees me walk in around 9 something? I brought
my son to see doc as he is not feeling well
M : hmm...maybe
J: By the way, she must be coming in after me and leave almost same time as me, then only
she can see me coming in late and leave early...right?
M: (keep quiet...expected, as she doesn't has her own opinion)
J : And also, i car pool with hubby, u think possible for me to come in late and leave early?
M : Oh yeah hor...yeah yeah yeah...(well, again, her usual response, DUH!)
J : oh..could it be she sees me carrying my big bag that i keep my milk bag? And usually when
i go to Mother's room, i carry the bag together with my water container, she thought me
just come in when she sees me in the morning, and she thought me going back when she
sees me in the afternoon. I express milk 2 times in office
M: (Again with the same expression) Oh yeah yeah, maybe....
M : How many times your express milk in office?
J : 2 times
M : You still breastfeeding your son? He's turning one soon right?
J : Yes, still breastfeed
M: No plan to stop yet?
J : (hubby actually said can gradually stop, but i'm not going to tell M) No plan to stop yet,
will continue bf until no supply
M: (pause for a while) Actually, it's good...good that you can continue and still have supply.
good good...
J : DUH!

KNS, MF..Pardon my language..i feel upset with this stupid accusation!!!
First, they forced me to move to another area and i just follow whatever their instruction, didn't make any complain or noise...and now find fault with me..DUH!!!!!!!

Then, i walk back to my place, jump up and down ...when i told my team mate about our conversation, most of their reaction was

• "Since when u come in late and leave early so often!"
• "die lah, Joanne comes in around 8am and goes back after 5:30pm, yet the mgmt says she comes in late and goes back early, then next time we all have to come by 7am and go back by 7pm!!!"

Bla bla bla bla bla...then i went to mother's room to express milk! And also consult my english teacher on how to draft a nice email to chicken in the jungle as i feel unfair with such an accusation on thing that i didn't do!!!!!!!

After that, i drop LYS an email, tracked she read it or not..i send the mail at 5.28pm and she read it at 6:33pm. Until now, she hasn't reply my mail yet. Maybe she needs to ask her hubby or her group of "consultant" to draft the email. What do you expect, the higher you climb, the less intelligent you will be!!! Hahahahaaaaa...

So at the end, YES, i WANT TO BE MANAGER!!!

Yeah!! My first cake!

Yesterday, I made biscuit cake, too bad, my baby boy don't get to taste it as it contains egg.
**No worry, mummy will make one for u when u officially start to eat egg. **

And too bad, i am too excited with my first creation, and i forget to take any pic at all. YES YES, i never make any cake before, this is my first time doing it! During my stay in US, i am glad to have good housemate and friend who can cook and bake well, so i don't have to pick up baking skill, and now, i am slowly learning so that i can make some for my son and hubby in future! Will see how huh! Could be ended up hubb suggest me to buy from bakery! hahaha!

It's fairly simple, otherwise i won't think of trying it. Here is what you need :-
1 block of butter (~250gm)
30 pcs crackers
6 eggs
a bit of sugar (based on own judgement)

1.Mix the butter and egg together
2.smash the crackers
3.Mix 1 & 2 together
4. Pour 3 on a plate
5. Steam for 15 ~ 20 mins

Then..ta daa...finish! Easy right?
But, i tell you, the process of cleaning is a bit messy as you need to clean the butter from your blender or whatever you use to mix the egg and butter.


Dad said it's a bit oily, i think maybe the biscuit that i bought contain a bit more of oil compare to other cracker, and i uses 1 book of butter...so it taste a bit oily when it's serve hot.
I put some in fridge and brought to office to share with friends, so far all good comments :)
Maybe it's kept in fridge overnight, so all the oily get harden a bit compare to when it's still hot? who knows..!

And i am too excited til i forget to take single pic of my first creation.

I need a new wallet

I've been looking for new purse for quite sometime, however, still unable to find a purse that i like.

Today, i walk into Braun Buffel outlet in QBM, and i found few that i like. All the while i thought the price will be very expensive, to my surprise, the purse is at RM200 range. Hmm...due to i am in hurry to rush back to see my sweetie pie, so i just glance through and will make a trip back there again!! :)

Coffee and me

I stopped taking coffee 6 mths before preggie and didn't take any until today....i broke the rule!!
Hubb and i went to Starbucks at QBM as he needs to get some vouchers. As he tried to purchase Stabucks voucher from the Midvally outlet when we were in KL sometime in Mar07, the store manager told him that Strabucks don't see gift voucher???!!!! I remembered i saw the Starbucks voucher from one of the credit cards redemption catalog.

So, today as we pass by Starbucks at QBM, i told hubby to try our luck to check with the store manager, to our surprise, they do sell voucher!! Duh ! As we were waiting for the store manager to get us the voucher, again, we try our luck to ask whether any free beverage for us...ta daa!!!The store manager gave each of us a cup of medium size coffee. I am not sure what coffee they gave us, but i can tell, there is strong vanilla flavor, strong milk taste and also, i can feel there is some red beans, yummie though!

Besides, i spotted the sandwich displayed at the counter, looks yummie though. Hmm....will go there another time to try on the sandwich!

Baby Nursery decoration

I always want to make my little boy a nursery room, but feedback from lots of people is "do you really need to spend so much money on this?" My litte one turning to 11 mths soon and will be celebrating his 1st birthday in 1 month time, so am thinking to start decorating his room for him. I found this site which gives me some idea how to decorate my baby's room.


If you are the kid, won't you wish that your parents will turn your room into a nice and cozy room for you? For me, i always dream of having a disney theme Myself likes wall paper very much, and i also aware that it's very costly. But they are really nice and cool !


I went to Island Hospital to visit friend's newborn baby. The wall paper for the nursery wall look so nice, so calming to me, and i like the roller blind very much. The design of the roller blind is teddy bears. I do have one roller blind in my master bed-room, but it's in plain color, without any design. If i move to new house in near future, i will surely do more survey on curtains and blinds :)

Baby food recipes

I always have hard time what to cook for my baby over the weekend. So far, we only introduce certain type of veggies to him ever since he started having solid. Sometime i wonder will he feel bored with all those veggie? Hubb always told me that baby won't be so choosy on food as they never expose to much choices. But then, i feel bored cooking the same thing over and over.

Finally, i found a cool site talking about baby food which i like it so much. I will screen through and hopefully i will have something new for my little boy on this weekend. However, before my little one get to try on the new recipe, hubb needs to approve and agree then only i am allow to cook it.

I can't wait to share this site with hubb and go shop for other type of veggies for our little boy!

Property

All the while, i am dreaming for a landed property. The landed property in Penang Island is overpriced now, but yet, there is still lots of people looking for landed property. Why? Let me tell you why i always dream for a landed property:-
Designated shaded parking place for more than 1 car
Small compound to move around
Don't have to pay monthly maintenance fee
Free to paint the exterior of the unit according to own preference

It's not an easy task to get the housing agent to get you a good house at reasonable price as most of the time, the agent will top up certain percentage from whatever price that the owner intend to sell...And worst still, some agents, they may share the info with others, so ended up, the price for the same unit could be different among different agents. I had this bad experience before.

Now, i found few sites which is cool, you may refer to Penang Property, iProperty.com, Richomes, Penang Real Estate Property. You can customise your search, get some idea on the price range, then your next step could be, buy a local chinese newspaper, search for other agents' phone number and call them, schdule for appointment to view the unit....with some reference, al least you wont get cheated by some of those agent.

So, why wait any further, ACTION!!! GO GO GO!!! If you mange to find a good deal, remember to drop me your agent's contact number ya!

New Job

In few days time, i will move to a new role. Still working in the same company, same dept, sit on the same chair, working from the same cubicle using the same laptop, the only different is report to diffent boss , handle different thing, isn't that interesting and cool? Am i looking forward to take up the new role? Errm..ok lah...what to do, need the money to feed myself, my son, my dog...and errm...my hubby! hahaha..

Moving forward, for the initial 6 mths, i could sense that i will work as a freshman, picking up new thing as i am consider new to the new role...need to famliar myself with all the terms, and also get to know the user well...be "nice" to them...haha! Wish me luck!

Something about my job

Ewwww...what a boring topic. Yes yes, i know it's boring, but i need to let go my feeling now! So frustrated after my usual weekly telecon with my boss.

Earlier, i checked with boss on what are the upcoming planning project than i can participate in, and the answer is, "nope, there isn't any upcoming project for planning, but for procurement team, they need some help" So, he asked whether can i help temporary. So, i agree with his proposal, but then, the feedback from procurement manager is, they need someone with content expert to help in the existing project. Hello...excuse me, it's in the middle of the project and you ask for help, and yet you looking for content expert...dreaming? WAKE UP WAKE UP! Then, ok, since they looking for content expert in procurement and i am not, then forget about it.

After that, boss approached me again, said that there is good opportunity in procurement whereby i can learn something new, good for my career development, as usual, management talk, bla bla..and indirectly want me to move to procurement. What can i say? So i said "ok ok " even though deep down my heart, i am not willingly to move to procurement, mainly few reasons :-
The mentor that i'm going to have will not be as GREAT as my current mentor.
The manager style is local manager, everything also want to know...sigh

I did have a 1:1 session with the procurement manager, i asked for specific role and responsibility, she can't tell, she can't give...so i feedback to my boss about this. And he said he will work on this for me...see, where got chance for me to say no with the arrangement...so sit and wait!

And today, boss told me, he,and the proc and their boss agreed with transitioning me over to procurement. Hello, agreed? Me agree? No no, i don't get to have any say! So gotta accept what is being put into my bowl, else i bet in the next round of redeployment, my name will be top of the list.

The whole thing looks like a trap to me, first ask me to help , then later said they decided and agree to move me to procurement. Even though there is thousand and one NO NO NO deep in my heart, i can't voice it out, because they won't listen!!!!! So what for i voice it out!

Good service? Bad service?

Ok, let you be the judge!

I ordered a pizza as friends coming over to my cozy apt for lunch cum apt viewing. Around 11am, i called up and ordered a set meal for 2~3 person and the flavor of the pizza is royale masala. I quite like it as it's a bit spicy taste.

Around 11:45am, i received the delivery. Paid RM25 happily and waited for friend. Friend arrived around 12:10pm, so we chatted for a while, tour around the small apt...yeah, tour around, and sounds like my apt very big huh...hahaha..not to tell you the exact size, if wanna know, come to pay me a visit huh!

Around 12:30pm, i received a phone call from pizza hut, saying....the coleslaw that they send me earlier is expired and asked me not to eat it. Gosh, luckily we didn't start eating upon the guest of honor's arrival, luckily we chit chat for a while. Well, what u expect, for girls, usually we chit chat more than eating when meeting up each others.hahahah! So, they will replace the coleslaw with cream of mushroom soup and will arrive at my place in 5 mins time. Wow, less than 5 mins, door bell rang and the same delivery guy stand outside the door and pass me the soup. The guy kept apologies with me, he is so polite. It's not his fault anyway, he is just a delivery man, delivering the food per the order, but yet he is so polite.

So, the food is expired and they didn't check it before delivery it to customer - bad customer service, but they do make an afford to call up to stop us from eating it - good customer service, and when the delivery man replace the order, he kept apologies as if it's his fault - good customer service. So, what do you think as overall, good or bad?

Hmm..as for me, i doubt i will call for pizza delivery in near future, at least for couple of months til i forget about this incident..hahaha

What is mother's love means?

Recently, when you read newspapers, seems like everyday also have some article about kid.

Mishandling of maid causing 6 mths old baby fall off from bed, and caused leg fractured.

Poor little baby, both legs need to be hang up, it must be very hard for the baby as he wont be able to turn himself as and when he wants to. Personally, i don't agree with the idea leave the baby alone at home with the maid. Maid is an outsider, how could we simply leave our baby to an outsider? Falling off from bed can caused leg fracture? hmm.....can we or should we trust what the maid say?

Parents tortured the baby til dead
This is even more scary. I always don't understand, how can parents kill/torture their own kid. No doubt, sometime it's very hard to handle kid, but, we need to be patience when dealing with kid. And, another thing which i cannot understand is, how could a mother hurt their own kid. The mother should have strong bonding with the kid as she is the one who carries the baby in her womb for 9 months.......

dear mummies, if you decide don't want your own kid, don't hurt them, just send them to welfare department and let the people there help your kid to find a good and better home, ok? Duh! Pls think twice before you "play" with your partner, and ...pls invest in good quality "raincoat" ok!

Mother's love

All the while, i thought as a mother, she should be the one protecting her child from being hurt, until recently, there is one case whereby the mother doesn't comply with her role and responsibility as mother. If you are one of the follower of this case, don't you think that the little girl is so so so cute!!!But ....

As a mother, she should protect her child,
but, she is so evil minded,
instead of protecting the lovely child,
she choose to protect the JOBLESS boyfriend of her!

The little girl suppose to be happily run around , play with her toys, get pampered by everyone, but now, she is resting in peace.....
The most interesting point is,
the mother can make up the whole story to cover up what the boyfriend did!
She told everyone that she lost the girl at Bayan Baru carpark.
And at last, guess what.....the final story is....the cruel boyfriend of her, he "killed" the little girl and cut her into pieces....

When i first heard of this, my first impression was,
"WHAT!!! How could you leave your 3 yrs old little girl unattended and you yourself walk away to look for parking attendant?"
"Can't you drive along to look for the parking attendant?"

The case still under investigation and i feel that since the mother so useless, just send her and the bf to dead. Don't waste any time and effort to find out the actual.

Poor little girl, it's good that you leave this horrible family. Hope you will find a better family after reborn.

Do You Need to Lose Weight?

Your Weight is Ideal

Your BMI is 20.2 - a healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 25 Congratulations, you are the perfect weight for your height. Even though you may not be entirely happy with your weight, you are healthy. So gain or lose a few pounds if you want, but don't go too crazy! Don't agree? Blame the government standards we based this test on!

Do You Need to Lose Weight?

Tagged By Yan for a topic that i choose to ignore ever since i gave birth. Are you over weight, under weight or perfect!

Well, mine still within the range, so i guess i can slow down my diet plan and eat as if i am preggie. No way! I can't afford to eat as if i'm preggie...must control a bit, else i will look like penguin.

Went to MNG sales with Angeline, when i look at those dress or top.....how i wish i did control my diet after gave birth, more hardworking in exercising, bla bla bla......i tried few tops, it's either too low cut or it makes me look as if i am pregnant ..so end up, only walk out with one white hand bag! hahahaha..Oops, side track a bit, now, back to weight....ahem, no plan to go on diet! hahahaha!!

Now, i would like to pass the tag to few people :-

Angeline

Lay See

Poh Kien

Joyce

Wooi Sin

How to tell if i cook

How to tell that i'm the one who's doing the cooking ...

1. I may burn the pot...ask Terence how well i burn the pot that he just bought for less than a week
2. will spill the water all over the stove, and may forget to wipe away the stain

Should be more than enough points to tell whether i am the cook of the day or not, right!

I don't really enjoy cooking, but i admire those who can cook, bake.....BUT, i enjoy EATING! While we were courting, hubb did the cooking MOST OF THE TIME and me in charge of eating :) But now, i cook!! I cook for my lovely son!!! Thanks baby, so far you LOVE the porridge that mummy cook for you.....hahahaha, coz he never expose to any other food besides those cook by me ...and he's purely on veggie porridge!!So no need any special skill to cook food for my baby.

Apa ini!

Sometime, i don't understand....

When you go apply for a job, they will tell you..."sorry, you are not qualify for this position because you don't have relevant experience, you don't have the qualification that we are looking for....bla bla..." thousand and one reasons...

and sometime, in the org, u will see...someone being appointed to work at the position that he/she NEVER has experience before...but the hiring manager will have ONLY ONE reason to justify why he/she qualify for the position. They will say "he/she has wide experience in bla bla bla bla bla, that's why he/she is qualify for this position"

Funny boh...

this is workplace and this is politic, and this is how good your "shoe polishing" skill kick in

Alamak - I am so "proud" of myself

Forgot to blog these incidents til Angie reminded me...

I ter-cook the porridge and burn the new pot!
We bought a new cooking pot last Sunday...so happy, got new pot for me to play with...who knows, it only manage to serve us for 2 days. Why? Because on Tuesday i cooked porridge for Kelvin and walk away for a while and the porridge overburn!! And there is overburn stain in the pot..no matter how i wash it, it's still there....sign of my victory! Good job !!

Alamak...another incident happen when i work from home today.

Since i send the slow cooker to Kelvin's nursery, so i only have rice cooker at home. After checking with my GUY colleague, Loo, that i can cook barley in rice cooker, then the smart me, procced to cook with rice cooker. Here is the story:-

1st attempt: put barley into rice cooker with water, then happily attending telecon. After tcon, go check at the rice cooker..alamak, barley becomes rice
2nd attempt: Add PLENTY of water into rice cooker, then happily continue to work. Ehh..heard funny sound from kitchen. Alamak, barley water all over the kitchen floor. Aiyoh, Loo didn't tell me that i need to watch at the rice cooker....So, i got chance to play with the big mop that Terence just bought few weeks ago. I need to seperate the "hair" of the mop into three portions and slowly squeeze dry portion by portion.Bb, i salute u, the mop is so big and heavy leh!
3rd attempt:pandai pandai throw one piece of rock sugar into rice cooker. 10 mins later, go taste the barley water...wah lau eh..so SWEET!

Bb, no worry, i clean up the mess already..but i will keep some SWEETheart barley water for u later ya...hahaha

Something about Me and HIM

Being tagged by Evan's Mummy to list down 5 things that i draw Terence mad and 5 things that he draw me mad. When i knew she's doing this tag, i told her not to tag me, but since we were friends for sooooo long, so she tends to ignore what i said, and tagged me right after she's done with hers. So nice of her......but then ask me to list down 5 things, so little.....Can i write more?NO WAY, u think i will wash my dirty laundry in public? Hmm, if you wanna know more, then drop my link more frequent ya!

Ok, let me start with 5 things that he draws me mad:-

1. He spends lots of time in the loo. Sometime, i think of putting web cam in the loo to see what he's doing in there. I don't understand how come hubb can read in the loo, it's so uncomfy in there....duh...oh man oh man, i can't understand the reason u spend so much time in there. Maybe you should share your feeling reading in loo with me and "maybe" one day, i may follow you, read in loo! hahaha..hiaks
2. Playing with Kelvin at night. Hubb likes to play with Kelvin on the bed. When our little boy gets excited, he will refuse to sleep. Then, i will in trouble. Coz if Kelvin doesn't sleep, then i can't sleep too!! And me love sleeping soooo much, i can go into my sweet dreamland less than 1 min after i lay on the bed. cool huh!
3. "Hello!!!....wei!!!....."when he's watching TV, he will tend to shut her ears off from me. But, he can hear the TV conversation very well. I think he's imaging himself as one of the actors in the movie, that's why he ignore me!
4. Work work work and work. Long long time ago, before we have broadband at home, both of us rarely work from home after office hours. But now, since we have broadband at home, so most of the time, he will sit in front of computer, work work and work....i know because of me, he has to reach office late and leave office early, but then after office hour, should allocate time for family ,agree?
5. Mumbling to himself. Sometime when i talk to him, he did response back to me, but he's mumbling to himself and i have to "huh? huh? huh?" for several times until i piss off. Nowadays i'm sitting at the backseat with our little prince Kelvin, so whenever he talked to me when we are in the car, i wont be able to hear it clearly as hubb is a soft spoken guy, so i have to listen very hard then only know what he's saying.

Time to list down 5 things that i draw him mad :-

1. "ok boh?" I like to ask for his opinion when come to the time i need to make decision. Or, sometime, in the morning, when i dressed up to go work, i will ask him "ok boh?". When he reply "ok", i will follow by another question "are u sure ok" hahaha...ask him yet still doubt on his feedback
2. Sleep sleep sleep. I LOVE sleeping. I remember. before having Kelvin, i can sleep til lunch time during weekend. Then after lunch, continue to sleep again
3. Leaving my thing everywhere. I tend to leave my thing everywhere, and when i need it, i will ask hubb. And if he doesn't know where i put it, i will complain complain and complain saying he doesn't help me to remember when i put it bla bla bla..and in actual fact, i may forget to let him know where i place those thing though :p
4. Shoes Shoe more and more! "Bb, let's go shopping. I wanna buy shoes!! "Buying shoes is my hobby. When I'm wearing blue dress, i will make sure my shoes is at least blue or white color; when I'm wearing black dress, i will make sure my shoes is black; when I'm yellow dress, i will make sure my show is beige color,etc ; gosh, if u have chance, come to my house and see how i conquer hubb's shoe rack!
5. Shopping !! Can i say most lady like to shop? I am a great shopper! Wherever u bring me to, i will buy something from there. Don't believe, ask my hubby. I can walk into bakery, come out with big and small bag; i can go into small grocery shop, come out with a small bag of something. So, no need to tell when i am in shopping mall!! Of course with lots of lots of big bags!

Phew...took me almost an hr to come out with 5 things for each of us as i need to re-prioritize, re-filter, rethink,re-bla bla bla each points. See, i ter-type 5 things from each of us...so u get to know something about us.

Bb, hope you wont angry with me when u read this blog. Come to think of it, if there is nothing that make each of us mad on each others, then where the spark will comes from, right? No one is perfect in this world, that is why me and you ended up as husband and wife coz we love each other's uniqueness. haha! agree?

What a day!!

Yesterday was a ter-day for me....why? Let me tell you...

I am suppose to attend a telecon at 8am, but i ter-sleep
I am suppose to send yahoo msg to Mr A, but i ter-send to Ms B

And it's the first day i cook porridge for Kelvin, so friend warned me, don't ter-cook til the porridge become rice cake

Affair

Friend of mine told me that she suspects her hubby cheat on her....and asked for my opinion.

Well well, when come to such serious thing, me out of idea. I don't know how to help her. Seek advise from other friend, and most of them said confront the hubby. But i tell you ya, 99% the hubby will deny...so no point ask. Might as well close one eye pretend know nothing. But, again, how could you pretend?Hard right?

Being a woman is not an easy job, especially for those with kids. You need to act as mummy to your kid, wife and girlfriend to your hubby. Must play multi role..interesting leh!To maintain a family is not an easy job.

Gimme RM1800

Gimme RM1800...wow, what i'm going to do with that amount of money?

Last week, went to Sequins and the tauke soh approached me, keep asking me to go for double eye lid surgery....it's RM1800!! Wah lau eh...just a 10 mins thingy, and it cost RM1800. She keep ask me to do, well well, if it's RM180, ok lah, i can decide on the spot, but RM1800 wor....

Hmm...u think hubby will sponsor me that amout of money? Don't think so leh...

But then hior , if i go for double eye lids surgery, next time when i bring mr Chiang junior out, people will wonder, how come the daddy mummy both with double eye lids but the baby single eye lids...hahahahaha

Gosh, has been long time i didn't go for facial...i miss the moment. The momet u sleep on the bed, someone massage for you, picit the pimples for you, picit the black head for you...and when u are done with the facial, you come out like a red lobster caused from the picit picit mah.
After deliver mr Chiang junior, aunty liao mah..so didn't bother to go for facial ....cannot cannot must go liao, else face will full with dead skin...but when to go..one good excuse is NO TIME!!!

Home alone with Kelvin - Day 4

yeah yeah..today is the last day me home alone with Vin boy. Hubby coming back from biz trip...so happy...happy happy happy...:)

I don't have to feel helpless at night when Vin boy make noise;
I don't have to eat lunch or dinner alone;
I don't have to drink milo alone at night before go to bed;
I don't have to bla bla bla......all by myself..

Yippie!!!!

Now i only realise how important my hubby is in my life :)

Captain jump ship!! Titanic liao lah!

Yesterday, we received meeting invitation from our tauke in US. He is also my direct report boss. As we screen through the recepients list, we found out that he invited all of his staffs to the meeting...sooooo as usual, we started to speculate..

"tauke got new role?"
"new tauke joining the team?"

Today, 9am!!! It's the time, it's the time!!

Tauke told us that he accepted new role and will move to his new role by June.
Oh no!! Captain jump ship!!! Titanic liao lah....

Sooo, the next question from us will be,
"who will be our new boss?"
"Will we report to local manager"

Since i have 1:1 with tauke today at 1pm, so i asked him...
At the same time, tauke asked me,
"What are the reaction for those in Penang?" hahahaha....so, i told him, "When we receive the meeting inv, we started to brainstorm possible outcome and jump ship is one of the possible outcome that we thought during the brainstorming seasson!!" haahahaha

Tauke is working with his tauke to sort out who will "adopt" us. And in 2 weeks time, we will know who is our new boss. Wish me luck!

Of all, i HATE org change the most!!! Duh!!! Hate this sssssoooo much...new tauke, new style....sigh...but this is part of life...have to face it.WISH me luck plsssssssssssssss!!!

Hubb eating KFC in Indonesia..hahaha

Hubb called back around 7pm Msia time, he said he is in somewhere where he don't know the name of the place, and guess what?? He is in KFC restaurant!! hahahahahahahahahaha.....eating KFC in Indonesia...cool!! He will call me tonite when he reach Jakarta.

Home alone with Kelvin - Day 2

Yesterday night little Kelvin cry very very teruk and loud and night. Looking for daddy? i think yeap. This little Kelvin, very manja one, especially to the daddy. He will laugh out loud when he sees the daddy.

Hubb called back 3 times...first time is when he reached hotel, second time is after his dinner and third time is before i go to bed, and his supper time. We chatted for a while only.

I hope tonite little Kelvin will be better than yday night. Wish me and little Kelvin luck.

Hope hubb can come back ASAP....so that me and little Kelvin won't miss him for sooooo long....it's many many days and hours, u know!

Hubby check in to Indonesia's Shang-ri La Hotel SAFELY

Finally, after few hours of long waiting, i managed to talk to hubby. Hubb call back around 7:35pm Malaysia time. He is in hotel now. According to him, the security check outside the hotel very tight. When the cab reached hotel, 5 to 6 police checked the car thoroughly. I think they afraid of terrorism. Anyhow, glad that hubb reached the hotel safely.

I passed the phone to Vin boy and he looked puzzle again when he heard hubb's voice over the phone. We talked for a while only as hubb will go for dinner with a colleagues of him who also in Indonesia.

Doubt i will be able to chat with hubb over the net tonite as there is NO Internet connection in the room. The WIFI is only available at the lounge area.Will see how....if not, we will use the convention way, EMAIL.....

Home alone with Kelvin - Day 1

Today is Day 1 me home alone with Kelvin.

We send Terence to airport around 1:10pm today. Kelvin shouted at daddy when he sees him walk away from us. Hmm...wonder how hubby feels huh. This is first time we gotta seperate with one another after Kelvin borned.

Hmm...i will definately miss him, but wonder will he misses us? hmm...mmuuuaaaahhhh from me and Vin boy

Work From Home

As tomorrow and day after tomorrow will be holiday for Agilent, sooo lots of people will on leave on today. As most of my colleagues on leave today, so i stay at home and work from home....

Nothing exciting about my job, as usual, read mail, delete mail, reply mail...but one exciting thing is....

Guess what i did? I fix the wall attachable hanger kit for washing kits in hubb's toilet. Bought it from Thye Huat last Tuesday. I put some soap at the back of the adsorption base coz i read from one magazine, by doing so, it will make the adsorption base to stay on to the wall better wor..will see how...will see when i will heard a loud noise from hubb's toi when he put his thing into the hanger.

Home alone with Kelvin

In 2 more days time, i gotta be home alone with Kelvin. Terence will be going to Indonesia for business trip. This will be the FIRST time me home alone with Kelvin since he's borned. I am not sure whether i can handle Vin boy at night or not as every night, he needs daddy and mummy to sleep beside him for a while, before he decides to sleep. And sometime when he make lots of noise, Terence will be the one "kau tim" him, especially if Vin boy has nightmare and cry out loud.

Wish me luck!

Adventist's Paed clinic

sigh, i don't understand why the Paed clinic in Adventist don't allow us to make appointment. I was there yesterday and the clinic so crowded. Parents carry their baby walk around, some of them sleep in parents' arm....pity those kids.

I reached there around 11:30am, got my number and the nurse asked me to come back after 1 hour. Outside is raining, and what you expect me to do? I can't bring the baby to elsewhere besides walking around in the hospital. And it's Sunday, everywhere is so crowded in the hospital. Me and hubby need to take turn carry our little baby and keep entertaining him else he will get bored and make noise.

Met one ex-colleagues there, she told me she waited to 3 hrs!!! WHAT!! I will go crazy if i have to wait for 3 hrs with my baby there.

I think they should implement appointment system so that all the poor daddy and mummy don't have to wait long at the paed clinic. I wish one day they will let us make appointment.

Winnie the Pooh container

yeah yeah....hubby bought contact lense multi purpose solution last Sat and it comes with a Winnie the Pooh container...but then..that container is tall and thin shape, so can only feed in small biscuits. Inside, it's mocha biscuit. Hubb don't allow me to eat as hubb afraid our little boy may get impacted by the mocha....sigh...i curi curi tasted few, it's nice though. Well wel, i turn the bottle upside down to search for mocha word in the ingredients, but can't find. Told hubb, but he still wont let me eat it...Never mind, he will finish the biscuit and leave the container for me :)

"Excellent" customer service

Went to HSBC panel lawyer firm this morning with mom.Hmm, the lawyer firm is Presgrave & Matthews.

Ok, we reached there around 10:40am.

Reception : Yes, can i help you?
Mom: I'm looking for Ms XXX.
Reception : do you have appointment with her?
Mom: Yes, the HSBC officer arranged it for us.
Reception : Pls have a sit

Happily, me and mom sit on the sofa.

1 min later, a lady came out. My first impression is,
"ehhh...this lady can boh? Can she really help us?"
Why i think so? Because the way she dress up looks like going for shopping, doesn't look like those pro who works in lawyer firm.
When she open her mouth and talk, i almost faitned. She seems to be as blur as me...well, to those who know me, you know lah, me blur blur most of the time one mah :p
Then mom told her we are bla bla bla, then she walk in.

A while later, another lady comes out. She bring us into a meeting room and told us one of her colleagues will come and assist us. Then, another lady comes in.
Me a bit on fire. Can't the suppose to be person come out and talk to us? Why must they make fool of us and let different people come to us and tell us another person will come and assist us.

The lady asked for our IC and another lady come in with a big stack of documents. Again, my impression is, "eh.....this lady can boh?"
So, she started to talk, bla bla bla, as if she is so pro in all the documents. After few sentence, she excused herself and the second lady that asissted us came in and told us that the colleague who spoke to us just now need to go for meeting and ask us to come back later.

WHAT!!!! me on fire liao lah!!!
So i said to her, "YOU TIME IS TIME AND OUR TIME IS NOT TIME HUH!!!" Then i walked out and gave her a good STARE!!!

WHAT LAWYER FIRM IS THIS!!! WASTE OF MY TIME!!! And somemore now is income tax filing season. Mom and me have to look for parking lot so hard...then, this is what we get...duh!!!!

Steamboat Dinner -hiaks

Went for the steamboat shop opposite Sg Dua McD for dinner buffet with colleagues, to our surprise, the expected value of the food not there anymore. First, price increase, secondly, the food quality and quantity drop. While we are eating, suddenly the shop people pop by and asked

shop ppl - P; one of us - w

P:your table 6 or 7 person?
w:7
P: Is everyone here?
w: yes
P: Total is RM126

wah lau eh, so kiasu, afraid we wont pay for the food. So, colleague paid first while the rest of us don't bother much, continue eating...hahaha

They do not refill food quickly, there is delay in food replenishment. Those "expensive" item such as prawn does not get refilled. Even those fish ball also didn't get refill. Sooo ended up, we eat noodle, veggie...well, well, usually i wont eat noodle when i go for steamboat buffet, but then, i have nothing else to eat, i've eaten most of the food there...oh yeah, they do serve fried mee and bee hoon....and the bee hoon all stick together, sigh

And, to your surprise, this shop is forever pack with customers everytime i pass by that road. Sigh, i guess, could be there is no other choice of cheap steamboat buffet shop around Bayan Lepas area.

Sigh, if i know about the "wonderful" service and food, i wont suggest to have dinner there. To my fellow frens who had dinner together, SORRY for choosing this lousy place, we should have drive all the way to Nagore place for Kim steamboat buffet. No no no BIG THANKS,i wont go back to that shop again.
