Ping “Pong Pong”

Still remember that I love to play ping pong a lot during my secondary schooling. I wouldn’t say I’m good on it as I’m not naturally gifted when it comes to sport. Once I played bola sepak and the ball hit directly on my face…malu for the rest of the week. Then I went to play basketball lor, I pulak the shortest among all the players. That was why I ended up playing ping pong.

I was very happy when my company announced that we’ll have so called “sport day” every Wednesday. It started last week with ping pong, which was one of my favourite la so called. Mana tau pulak they tried to be creative, came up with following idea:


For those who know me well, of course I won’t jump into that pond la…hilang all my images that I’ve built for the past 1 year nanti. So the question is..would you jump into the pond to play ping pong?

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my blog!!!


While mostly people would celebrate their blog anniversary, me on the other hand is celebrating my 1 year of inactivity since my previous blog entry. Why didn’t I blog for the past 1 year perhaps you would ask. Lots of unexpected things happened that have taken most of my time. A friend told me that I’ve reached a T junction of my own!! Middle age crisis? Not that soon of course, though I ain’t that young also.

Basically I’ve changed my career, from IT to a totally new field. I’ve gone through a very tough first 6 months learning all the necessity and the other 6 months helping people to set/monitor their KPI as well as resolving their issues. Still remember an old grandma said that I jumped from a hot pot to a fire place. I have to agree with him somehow but no doubt that I’ve learnt a lot while I’m fighting for my own survival in the fire place. And most importantly I’m still surviving now!!

Besides, I’ve finally got myself a new hobby and toy aka photography. Bought a dslr (Nikon D3100) 6 months back and I’ve finally learnt what is aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc. An interesting and fun hobby it is that requires a lot of patience. Will definitely share some of my photos taken in near future.

Meanwhile, I’m glad to see all of you again here. And don’t worry, my next blog entry won’t be a year later.

Dragon flies from Hanoi

26 JUL 2010: Last year when my colleague went for a trip to Hanoi, she bought me a little souvenir. And another friend went to the same place last month, and I’ve got the same souvenir again; different in color and size. Makes me wonder what’s so special about this thing; any meaning behind? Anyhow, I like the bling2 effect though.



This is probably not something new that Putrajaya had organized a flora festival few weeks back; and I went over with a friend to look around and take some photos. I was disappointed that I didn’t see my favorite species of “bird of paradise”.

Fly to the Land Below the Wind

9 – 11 JULY 2010: Just 3 days after my HK relatives went back that I’ve yet recovered from my tiredness; I’ve to pack for my 3D2N trip to our land below the wind. I’ve been to Kota Kinabalu twice over the last 10 years for hiking and island hoping; and this time around was Sandakan.

It was a planned trip that we booked the flight early of the year. A friend of mine was origin from there; who suggested us to follow him back to his lovely hometown for a short weekend trip. An early morning flight it was (720am) where we reached Sandakan 3 hours after that. A lovely and peaceful town it is; with no traffic at all, friendly local people (and they speak hakka too), very fresh seafood and beautiful landscapes it has.

To summarize what I’ve done within these 3 days.


Food:


Temples/Church:


Local attractions:


Don’t know why, I really love Sabah a lot. I could feel myself at home being there, probably because the local Chinese speaks hakka. Do you have any local state or city/town of your interest?

HK / MY / PG / CH / KL

1 JULY 2010: 1st day of July, which means we’ve entered 2nd half of year 2010. Some people might tend to look back on what they’ve done over the past 6 months; somehow I would rather look forward for things that I’ll do for the next 6 months. Which category are you in?



I’m actually blogging from my sister’s room. Reason being is that my relatives from HK are here in KL, and I have to spare my guest room for them. It’s going to be a fully-packed week with following itinerary:

1 Jul: Sunway Lagoon/Pyramid.
2-3 Jul: Penang.
3-4 Jul: Cameron Highland.
5 Jul: KL/Petaling Street/KLCC etc.

Penang punye kawan2 sekalian, here I come!! Cameron punye bunga2 sekalian, here I come again!! Might need to call Grandma or TZ for food directory around the island. Definitely won’t drive around Komtar again.

I Love Burger

29 JUNE 2010: I’m always a burger lover. During schooling and Uni time, I could only afford those Ramly burger that I still like it until now, especially the burger special with extra mayonnaise..simply yummy. Can hardly find a nice Ramly stall nearby my house now.

A friend of mine, Mr. P has recommended this restaurant in Bangsar Village but I never thought of paying a visit. According to him, the restaurant (Daily Grind) serves the best burger in town. Therefore, we went for it during one of these Sunday. Met with him at Starbucks when he was playing around with his new DSLR. Am I a talented model? Walked down to the restaurant after an hour of chat, and I was surprise that I wasn’t aware of the place despite hundred times of visiting to this mall.



Ordered a beef burger recommended by the waiter. The food portion was just nice and the burger tasted great. A comfortable atmosphere with lovely music, and good food; I love it.

Are you a burger lover? What is your recommendation for my next visit?
