13.12.2008 - A Birthday Celebration For A Good Friend

Grace Chong - an early special friend's birthday celebration on 11.12.2008, 2 days earlier before the actual big day for her.

Co-incident, 2 days before Grace's big day ( 13.12.2008 ), on 11.12.2008, is Sultan Selangor's Birthday and me and my hubby no need to work, it's public holiday for Selangor state, so we called Grace out for a dinner for her birthday celebration.

As usual, everytime, before me and Grace meet up, sure we will all been welcome by a heavy rain, that evening, the same, she came in heavy rain. All the way from Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, her office to Cheras, Taman Midah, the place where Grace's mother always come to buy her dried seafood stuff.

We celebrated her birthday this year in a very normal Chinese Restaurant in Taman Midah, Cheras. ( Till now, I don't even know what's the name of the restaurant ). Ha !!!



See this ! I bought her a birthday cake from King's Cake House. Luckily, she loves chocolate, originally, I forgot if she either don't eat cheese or chocolate, finally, my gudfeeling told me to choose for chocolate, lucky man, I got it right ! She loves chocolate cake !!!

It's definitely a surprise to her, to call her to such a normal Chinese restaurant, all the way from Jalan Ampang on a heavy raining evening, for a birthday celebration.

And it's also a surprise to her that she got a birthday cake and celebrated her birthday again with my sister - Ah Bee and CK again. Think this is the second time they celebrated birthday for her.

We ordered quite many dishes, a table of 5 adults and 1 kid ( me and my hubby, Bee and CK, Jun Jun + Grace ), we ordered 7 dishes.

We started with a sharkfin soup first. ( Wow ! ) Then come with : -

1. Sharkfin Soup
2. Crab - Not very good taste Crab cooked with salted egg ( not really remembered what cooking style )
3. Egg - " Sam Wong Dan " - Eggs cooked with 3 different eggs ( duck egg, chicken egg and salted duck egg ) ordered by my loved one
4. Vegetable - " Yau Mak " by Grace
5. Chicken - A special herbal chicken with ' wan tan ' - strongly recommended by the Captain
6. Sotong - Fried Sotong
7. Fish - Curry Fish Head - the restaurant signature dish
8. White Rice
9. Birthday Cake as dessert
10. Apple Juice, Chinese Tea & Red Wine ( Grace claimed that the Red Wine taste so good ! )



This is my good friend - Grace Chong, with her very BIG smiling face and her victory hand sign. She is 28 this year and going to 29 very very soon.



Her only wish for these two years birthdays is : To get a boyfriend and get married before 30 years old !!! hahahahahahhaa.............................. Last year she made the same wish too, hopefully her this wish could materialised very very soon loh !!!

Such a lovely girl, without boyfriend, can you imagine ????

I told her, the only way to escape from this ' fixed ' destiny, is to leave Console, haahhhahahha............ ( don't let my ex-boss or Grace's current boss know, otherwise ............. )

See, two happy ' soh poh ' !!!!

It's my birthday, it's so heavy rain, ask me come all the way from Jalan Ampang, at this kind of lowsy restaurant for dinner, still want me to cut the cake and serve you all, can't believe !!!! See her face expression, you know what's is she thinking loh !!!! Hahhahahahhhaah...................

But then, why suddenly become so happy one ????? Of course lah, this is just cutting the cake, right after making the wish mah, I haven't ask her to serve yet, now you see the difference of " Before & After " leh .............................

See, my hubby with his Red Wine, oh ya ! The red wine that night was sponsored by CK, as I forgot to bring mine, left it at my house on the table, so quickly call for help and ask CK to bring one.

People birthday, she is so free to take so many funny faces photo..................................

See, so ' wu liao ' with her boyfriend.......................

This is Jun Jun, my nephew, also joining us for the dinner that night.......................

Grace, happily cutting the very hard American chocolate cake................... with big smile on her face, pretty ya ???? Any recommendation of boyfriend ????

Yeah ! Still got a birthday card before the end of the birthday. Siew Bee commented that so many times of her birthday celebrations, I never bought her a card, but Grace, so lucky, got a card, at least ........................ hahhaahhahhaa.................... jelous woh !!!!

Well, not that only, I still got a ' mistery ' birthday gift for her, just that can't tell her on that night, coz not yet, got to wait till her real big day !!!!

On 13.12.2008, yes, I sms her early in the morning, while on my way to Kuantan with my hubby, ask her to call Eco Paradise to claim for her birthday gift ! She asked me back - are you serious ????? Of course lah !!!

Hope she likes the birthday gift loh !!!!

Grace, Happy Birthday 2008 !!!!

Christmas 2008 SURPRISE

" We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !!! "

Yeah !!! Christmas is just around the corner !!!

All the shopping malls in town have decorated their halls nicely with all the Christmas trees, decorations and accessories. This Christmas, year 2008, there are one " Soh Poh ", one day, she told her loved one that : " Dear, how nice it will be if our home sweet home also could have a Christmas tree like the shopping mall ! " Then, she starts thinking and dreaming............ and He just keep quiet and silent .................

One afternoon, without any planning and out of sudden, they were in IKEA, their favourite place for household items................... hmmm.................... and without realisation, He became more excited and interested to buy a Christmas Tree to decorate their home sweet home. She insisted to just buy a small tree for this year, and only next year we buy a big Christmas Tree, but he insisted that : " No, we buy the 6 feet one. "

With this, He happily and excitedly, running all around IKEA Market Hall - Home Organisation Department to pick up all the necessary items for their tree - their First Christmas Tree, and it's a gift to his loved one as Christmas gift. She was so happy and touched !!!

Firstly, it's just a bold tree, with his excitement, running here and there, jumping up and down, between IKEA and The Curve, He finally chose all the necessary. He bought a lot, She thinks it's too much, but He still feel not enough, still excitedly looking for more accessories for their first Christmas Tree. He became more excited than Her now.

And, by the time they reached home, after a 10 hours shopping at One Utama and IKEA, they started to upbuild the tree and started to decorate their First Christmas Tree. After 1 hour plus of hardworking installation and decoration, the below is the ' result ', haahahahahaa................ not bad ya, their First and only Christmas Tree.

See this !!!



Sorry, due to the photo shooting skill of the photographer, she not managed to take the whole tree with lights on, this is the best that she could do, so in order not to be missed out all the nice scene, She purposely posted more photos for you to see, just in case you can't see it.

See it carefully, all the photos are also different, with different lights on and effect. It will be very nice if you could pay a visit to their house and see it personally.




Nice ? He build up the whole tree and She is responsible on all the accessories. Not easy leh, got to make one by one the accessories, got to put in the string to the balls, the bells, the Santa Clause and etc. In total, she has already hook on 109 items with strings. Not easy leh !!! See so simple, a lot of hardworks behind leh.

After first installation, She feels not good enough, then she went to buy the wrapping papers, planning to wrap up all the boxes as gifts to place it under the tree ( not yet done, ha ! ), and she also bought more accessories to hook on the tree, and He also add in a few Teddy Bears imported from Australia to hug the tree. So nice, so warm, so happy, to see this Chrsitmas gift from the loved one.

I think the most happier thing is the process of choosing the gifts and tree + accessories together, to do it together, the process is very important and enjoying.

So, they finished the installation and decoration at about 1am and went to bed after that. The next day, early in the morning, She is too excited and still very very happy about it, until can't sleep, so she woke up at 6.30am and woke Him up too, both them sit at the living hall, on the floor, looking at the blinking Christmas Tree, really " Soh Poh " & " Soh Loh " lah !!!! hahahhhahhahhahhh.......................



Originally, she thought to give him a Christmas gift - the Mama Mia Show ticket, but due to delay in buying the tickets, they only managed to buy the 3rd January 2009 ticket. It costs RM 203.00 per person per ticket for a 2 hours show, but with His Enrich Card, we get a discounted ticket at RM 183.00 per pax.

So, this is Her Christmas Gift to Him, although She enjoyed and loved the Mama Mia Show more than Him, but He used to say, as long as she is happy, He is also happy mah, so, She happy, He happy loh !!! hahahhhhhahahaa.......................



Then, one evening, out of sudden, at Tesco Taman Midah, while She is choosing a birthday cake for her good friend - Grace at King's Cake House, He suddenly came by and bought Her a lovely Christmas gift again. What a surprise !!!!

See this, guess what is it ???

From Famous Amos, His favourite brand of cookies.

Deng deng deng deng !!!! It's a lovely small baby bear with chocolate, His favourite too !!!! hahhahahhahaa

Cute leh, the bear ! So nice and so lovely. He said to Her : " I bought you a lovely Daddy Bear last year, and this year I bought you a baby Teddy Bear, then you got to born me a baby soon loh ! " So sweet, so lovely, so nice, so sweet....................................... hmmmmm................. kiss kiss, my dear Lao Kong !!!!

See again, this shoot, the eyes bigger.

And the HE that I mentioned, it's HIM loh !!!!

My lovely cute and nice and the best Lao Kong in the world !!!!

Thank you Lao Kong for giving me such a " Xin Fu " Christmas !!! Last year, you married me during Christmas Eve at our Registration Ceremony, and this year, you gave me such a big gift, A nice Christmas Tree with Teddy Daddy Bear !!!!

Dear, what's next year plan ???? I give you a baby teddy bear ?????? hhahahahhhhha.............................

I love you forever, my dearest Lao Kong !!!!!

Wedding 177 Days Anniversary Dinner

Hi, my dear and all my friends, on the 177 days after we got married, co-incidently my hubby was away in Vietnam on business trip for 3 days and he returned home right on the 24th September 2008 night, and I decided to cook him a home made ' warm ' dinner.

I missed him so much, so rather than doing nothing waiting him home from airport, I prepared him a dinner, a not romantic but full of love dinner.

Simple dinner with home cooked food :

Food :
1. Fried Seafood Tau Foo - His favourite
2. Fried Tau Geh with ginger, " lap cheong " & garlic
3. Steamed Egg with " Tong Choi "
4. Pork Balls fried with onions & " hou yao "
5. Steamed White Rice

Beverage :
1. Soya Bean with ice


My dear really eat a lot tonight, don't know why, maybe he is too hungry, or maybe my cooking is too delicious, or maybe he purposely want to make me happy and eat so much. Whatever it is, I am happy that he like my food. Lao Kong, I love you !!!



P/S : I only decided to cook him dinner after work, when I am on my way home, quickly ran to Kuchai Lama Pasar Malam to buy the vegetable and cook for him. It's a last minute arrangement, that's why no soup loh. My Lao Kong loves my soup, lao kong ya !

It's a simple dinner for our 177 days after wedding celebration. My Lao Kong treated me so nice tonight as he volunteered in helping to throw rubbish, to clean table, and the most important thing is, he kiss me twice without my request !!! hahhahahahahhha.................... Lao Kong, with your appreciation, I will cook you more delicious food next time, alright ?

Another observation from my Lao Kong recently, don't know why, he likes to thank me for all the things I did for him, he says " Thank you " to me oftenly. Everytime he mentioned " Thank You ", I also feel so happy coz I can really feel his appreciation. My Lao Kong is a guy who doesn't simply say thank you to anyone, unless he is really feeling so and appreciate.

Thank you, Lao Kong !!!!

Something For My Lovely Hubby

It has been long time, I didn't write to you, my hubby

It has been quite sometime back, we both last write to each other

It has been more than 177 days back, I didn't received your love letter anymore

Letters seems lesser and lesser since we married

Words becomes verbal

Using hand to write becomes using mouth to communicate

Still remember what I have told you earlier

To me, a piece of paper and a pen, is my best friend, my best communication tools

Rather than using my mouth, without notice, un-intentionally, someone might get hurt

Not purposely, it's unintentionally........................

It's me, words always come out faster than my thinking

Wise man says, think three times before you throw out any words from your mouth

Maybe this is the reason why I am not wise enough, hahhaahhahaha................

Dear, I am very very happy this two weeks, especially this week

Don't know why, maybe because we have a real good and relax weekend last week, maybe

Even my friends, can also feel my happiness through my msn with them, ha ! They are all so concern, sensitive and alert on my emotion

Or maybe I am too true for them to sense it ................

Since we got married, I think this is the 4th time you went oversea for business purpose

Too long, it has really been too long, you never leave for so long

Too far, it has really been too far away you go

I missed you, I missed you so much, I really missed you

Time seems passed too slow, time seems freeze till I doubt if my watch is not functioning

So happy, that, this evening, another few more hours, I can see you again

Welcome back, dear ! Welcome back !!!!

Real looking forward to seeing you soon, in another 4 hours......................................

Feeling Like Writing Something Today

Today, feeling like writing something ...................

Received a sms last night, an old old friends sent me his blog and invite me to pay a visit. Took a look at it. Hmmmm.................... quite well done, quite good piece of articles, just that everything is about politics, except one particular one which is about his ex-boss, for that particular sharing, I quite like it.

Don't know why, since years back, I don't really like politics, and I particular don't like those involved into politic fields. To me, it's just too dirty, it's just too playful, it's just too dramatic, too fake, too artificial, nothing is true. Now, I myself consider a part of it, although the whole team in my company tring to deny that we ARE not involved in political thinggy, but nonetheless, the image that we have in the public, is something that we can't avoid or deny. What to do ????

Everytime, when people ask what do you do ? After I answered, the next question must be, which company are you working for ? My god ! After my answer, the sure next question : Ong Kah Ting, your boss arr ? You work for MCA arr ? You are MCA member arr ???? Hey, I hate this. I work in this company is because I like what I am doing, or rather to say that, I like the campaign concept.

The more I involved in my work, the more I realised that it's nearly impossible to achieve what I want to achieve here. It's totally not what I expect from the original, what I want to do is quite far away, coz everything has its hidden agenda. It's a political games, it has its all reasons to do what it wants.

Recently, after ' freezing ' my boss, it seems like it's no more fun working in this company, want to resign, don't know where to go, what can I do. Not resign, don't know what's the meaning of continuing working here. For no reason, every morning, come to office, thinking of 6pm, waiting to go home. Really has no fun, this kind of life style.

Hmmmm.................... where am I now ? Hey, I should talk about my friend who has just started a new blog, not about myself.

My this friend, he is still very ' hot ' and enthusiastic about his launching of the new blog, I think it's first time for him to write a blog. Quite good response, some regular friends are with him, support him and be his ' blog ' fans. Response actively to his sharing and comment. Good start ! Keep it up ! I write this purposely to encourage him to continue his blog, anyway, it's also for a particular political reason - hidden agenda too..................................

Well, " Jia You " !!!! Keep up the good work, my friend !!! All the best !!!

Last year, today - 29.06.2007, I was with my boyfriend having dinner at Basil Leaf and he is proposing to me to marry him; this year, the same day - 29.06.2008, he is already my husband with 3 months married life. How fast time has passed !!!! Scary, man !!!

This year, my hubby brought me to Sabak Bernam for my birthday celebration. It's actually my suggestion. His original suggestion is Genting Highlands, a very commercial place which I don't like, so finally we chose to go for natural - paddy field and fishing village !

Our routing for that day is : OUG Home - Cheras Bee's House - Kepong Breakfast - Lembah Beringin ( Wrong Way ) - Bukit Pagar ( Wrong Way ) - Kuala Selangor - Tanjung Karang - Sekinchan - Sungai Besar - Sabak Bernam - then back to KL.

Some photo to share, it's a pity that I have forgotten to take picture for our dim-sum breakfast at Tuck Kee Kepong, nothing special, just for memory keeping purpose.



Uncle Philip Wong and his family bought a cake for us for the celebration. Thanks, Uncle Philip !!!

All of us at Kaki Corner Western Restaurant - mama's suggestion for a western style birthday celebration, something different !



Me and my Mr Right - a very very real nice Lao Kong !!!
